Yes I did, will check it out this weekend. Fixed for 0.26. There was also a 4th province that was not added.

Edit: To Marakusu,
Denmark and Norway not being in the axis was an oversight. Yes I do believe Sweden's relations with the axis should be improved. I'm fixing that with a setup event. Relations with Germany start at 60 but will immediately go to either 40 or 80 depending on Germany's choice regarding St. Petersburg. I'm posting the event for commentary on the exact values. For Norway I'm going to replace Haakon with Erling Sandberg. He died in 56 and I'd like to know who should replace him. Qisling would have likely died a natural death about that time too. So I'd like to know who should replace him (For now they both live ahistorically forever) Thank you for pointing out the error. I am less certain about Britain being fully in the axis. Their surrender did not come about through occupation but by submarine-enforced blockade, so some element of negotiations would have applied, and they'd likely have some degree of independence. It would have been like the defection of Yugoslavia from the Soviet bloc. I might however START them as a puppet and have that change, but not in 0.26. So for now Britain stays as is.

event = {
id = 1000007
random = no
country = SWE

#

name = "Sweden's Relations"
desc = "Fix for Sweden's Relations"

action_a = {

Comment on these values, please. They will go into 0.26, but will consider opinions for changes for 0.27.

Some Germanic & 'Gross Germania' inspired names for Ahistorical naval classifications, for suggestive purposes, part or all of names can/could be used

Brunhilde
Sigurd
Sigmund
Sigma
Rieinhart
Wolter von Plettenberg
Hermann von Salza
Prince Eugene
Albrecht von Wallenstein
Gottfried Heinrich Graf zu Pappenheim
Frederick II of Prussia
Gebhard Leberecht von Blücher
Peter Wittgenstein
Erich Ludendorff
Paul Erich von Lettow-Vorbeck
Paul von Hindenburg
Erich von Falkenhayn

plus others here...
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_German_Field_Marshals
 
Some of the people were Hitler opponents, so use of their names would have to wait until they died. I'll use Hindenburg for sure, though, probably for a carrier.
 
Are you suggesting using the Soviet model names with the German manufacturers? And which do you consider analogous to which?
 
I meant that the major manufacturers of Germany's main aircraft would probably lie with Focke-Wulf and Messerschmit; I'm not suggesting using Soviet names.

Focke-Wulf = Sukhoi and would probably focus on non-fighter aircraft

Messerschmit = MiG and would be responsible for Germany's jets

or both could design and produce fighter and bomber craft.
 
In fact, I would like to see the Horten Brothers as one of the major aircraft manufacturers, because their ideas of superior aircraft designs (Ho 229, Ho XVIIIb) were well received by the Nazi leadership in 1944-45, thus it would seem very likely for them to gain a lot of influence regarding the possible German aircraft production in 1946 plus...
 
Well, quite honestly there would be intense competition for contracts, and there would be no certainty as to the winner. I will go with "RLM" (Reichsluftministerium) followed by a name suggestive of the function. For example the Mach 2 Strategic Bomber can be 'RLM Amerikabomber II'. Suggest please some suitable names for the advanced interceptors, multiroles, naval bombers, CAS, tactical bombers and escorts.
 
Nah... "Amerikabomber" was just the projects designation IIRC.

Some info on the aircraft I'm actually talkin' about. ;)

"Horten H XVIIIb Amerika-Bomber" or "Horten Ho 265 Amerika-Bomber" would had been the appropriate designation, I guess.

Suggest please some suitable names for the advanced interceptors, multiroles, naval bombers, CAS, tactical bombers and escorts.

Well, we can only assume what future aircrafts would had been called.

Some proposals:

interceptors/multi-role/escorts
Messerschmitt Me 266 Habicht
Horten H XX or Horten Ho 233
Focke-Wulf Ta 204 Wespe (Ta because a further developement by Kurt Tank would have been likely)

cas
Henschel Hs 133
Junkers Ju 97



Hope, this helps.

You could use that picture for a tech team, called "Gebrüder Horten" ;)

I recommend giving them the chemistry trait (like Junkers), cause they already developed an early stealth concept relying not only on shape but also on an alloy made of coal dust and glue.

I already plan to use the Horten model as the German B-52 equivalent. It is MUCH more suitable than the Messerschmitt model for the Amerikabomber. The idea of the RLM designation is for models BEYOND anything even remotely on the drawing board at the end of WW2. The Horten plane, just like the B-52, was a long-range subsonic plane.

The stealth concept was an 80s concept that I could only work into the mod if technical issues are resolved. I'd have to experiment to get settings that would specify WHICH planes could upgrade and which cannot. The stealth bomber has to be considered an alternate outgrowth of the Intercontinental Strategic Bomber (with Mach 2 strategic bomber being the other) and I'd have to be sure that one does not auto-upgrade to the other.

Yeah, sounds kinda tricky, regarding the stealth issue. But I'm afraid I don't have the required understanding of how hoi2 actually works to help you out on this one.

Well, in fact the Hortens already knew about stealth (if you'd understand German, which I doubt, you could read the Horten Ho 229 entry in the German version of wikipedia, where this issue is confirmed ;) ). Of course this kind of stealth technology was not as advanced as "modern" stealth , but a Horten Ho 229 and XVIIIb would had been a lot tougher to spot via radar than conventional WWII aircrafts. Just saying ;)
 
Some of the single names posted towards the top of my suggestions are drawn from Germanised Nordic & Germanic myths & legends, which could represent classes of ships ie; Brunhilde Class (forgive my typing, I dont know unicode and only have a UK keyboard), others could directly be drawn from pure Nordic myths, as there is little info on Austrian legends and myths, since they seem to be combined with those of the Germanic language areas.

Germanic Mythology Wiki Link
The last one 'Germanic Folklore' is probably more apt, along with some of the names from my earlier link; inconnection to to 1700's - 1870's German, Austrian & Prussian names of famous Generals - postwar development of the Germanic Nazi Mythology and incoperation of more recent than Ancient 'figureheads'.

I doubt they'd be a 'Rommel' class of tanks (land animal names) or army vehicles...

To do with aircraft, I can understand the view to using RLM - *blah blah* format, to simplify things, certainly the RLM *project name/designation* can/could be used for the text attached to German Aircraft Blueprint Tech - the text that appears along with the tech picture while it is being researched. Then you could still maybe have the decided upon aicraft manufacturer and its designation or nickname ie; Henshcal He 162D 'Fuersalamander' etc.

Thats because Austria is German.

I'm having problems loading the Fatherland scenario, as it crashes after the Kurt von Schlechier Execution event and even after I remove it, it won't work.

Anyone know how to fix this?
 
Hi, I'd like to share my addition to the Fatherland an Tomorrow the world scenarios, to make them a little more credible.

I made some new model pictures for Germany and also have some proposals for realistic model names.

Here is the package:

klick

name proposals:
BRIG_MODEL_GER_2_4 "Biene"
BRIG_MODEL_GER_2_5 "Hornisse"
BRIG_MODEL_GER_2_6 "Hornisse KWS" (=Kampfwertsteigerung)
BRIG_MODEL_GER_2_7 "PzH Donnerschlag" (PzH = Panzerhaubitze like the Panzerhaubitze 2000)
BRIG_MODEL_GER_4_3 "Wurfrahmen 60"
BRIG_MODEL_GER_4_6 "RAS" (=Raketenartilleriesystem)
BRIG_MODEL_GER_14_9 "Ta-183 / Ju-387 Stuka II" (Just took already existing model names and combined them, like previous CAG's)
BRIG_MODEL_GER_15_6 "Horten Ho-244"

MODEL_GER_12_6 "Horten Ho-244" (took the existing picture of the Horten Ho XVIII cause I felt it looks more like a successor to the Ho-229 than the actual Ho XVIIIa. Also I changed the model name "XVIII" to "XVIIIb" anyway. See below for further explanation)
MODEL_GER_13_9 "Horten Ho-233" (is supposed to be a more simple fighter than the Ho-244, without losing effectiviness in its main purpose. Also it wasn't untypical that new models got lower numbers, if they had different roles)
MODEL_GER_14_6 "Horten Ho XVIIIb" (it simply makes much more sense to put the XVIII in the strategic bomber category)
MODEL_GER_14_7 "Horten Ho XX"
MODEL_GER_15_7 "Messerschmitt Me P.1111" (made that an earlier model)
MODEL_GER_15_8 "Arado E 555" (This is in fact not an imaginary name, but the name of an technologically highly advanced bomber, picture fits the model name)
MODEL_GER_15_9 "Gotha P.70B" (This is supposed to be a possible successor to the Gotha P.60A project. B for bomber)
MODEL_GER_23_8 "Saalwächter-class"
MODEL_GER_25_9 "Bremen-class" (Bremen-Klasse aka F122 of the Bundesmarine)
MODEL_GER_26_7 "Raeder-class"
MODEL_GER_26_9 "Hitler-class" (should be a symbol for the victorious 3rd Reich. So who is more suitable to give his name to one of the mightiest ships in the game, than the Fuehrer himself? ;) )
MODEL_GER_28_6 "Type 205-class" (Submarine class of the Bundesmarine)
MODEL_GER_28_7 "Type 206-class" (Submarine class of the Bundesmarine)

I just went with the existing names for nuclear powered submarines. So no changes here.

I noticed your post, Stahlwolf, and unfortunately they didn't get into 0.28. But your translations should be improved, and the Fatherland scenario has some new British events. Also documentation is improved for the Fatherland scenario and most questions about "why" should now be answerable through the scenario menu.
0.28 is going up as I post.
There is no model 14_6 by design--the model is skipped. 14_7 and 14_8 are mach 2 and mach 3 strategic bombers and no German design fits those specs.
Tactical bombers 15_8 and 15_9 are by specification supersonic, and the proposed models do not fit.
# 8 - Supersonic Attack Fighter
model = {
cost = 28
buildtime = 220
defaultorganisation = 30
morale = 30
manpower = 2
maxspeed = 1300
surfacedetectioncapability = 4
airdetectioncapability = 1
surfacedefence = 40
airdefence = 10
airattack = 7
strategicattack = 23
softattack = 18
hardattack = 18
navalattack = 9
range = 1850
supplyconsumption = 2.8
fuelconsumption = 4.0
upgrade_time_factor = 0.5
upgrade_cost_factor = 1.0
}
# 9 - Advanced Attack Fighter
model = {
cost = 28
buildtime = 240
defaultorganisation = 30
morale = 30
manpower = 2
maxspeed = 1600
surfacedetectioncapability = 5
airdetectioncapability = 1
surfacedefence = 50
airdefence = 10
airattack = 7
strategicattack = 26
softattack = 18
hardattack = 22
navalattack = 10
range = 2100
supplyconsumption = 3.0
fuelconsumption = 5.0
upgrade_time_factor = 0.5
upgrade_cost_factor = 1.0
}

However, I see no problems with your ship and brigade names so I'll add them for 0.29.

Yeah, I noticed that too, some time ago.
The Horten Ho XVIIIb could only replace the existing intercontinental bomber.
An actual German supersonic strategic bomber would had been most likely been created by one of the usual air companys, cause I think the Horten developements would have not been able to reach mach 2 or 2.5 due to their special shape which they all shared.
Tactical bombers 15_8 and 15_9 are by specification supersonic, and the proposed models do not fit.
Jup, I actually noticed that one too. ^^
The Arado E 555 was highly advanced for that period, but I also don't think it would be able to go to mach 2. "Gotha P.70B" is however a different case. This name is actually fictional, so it should not pose a problem to implement that name for a supersonic "attack fighter".
