As a tech, but not as independent brigades. The SP Rocket tech give soft attack bonuses to SP Art and Tank Destroyers IIRC.
Lol I think you agree with my point, or?
edit: "Katyusha" rocket launcher is, like Sturmovik or T34, an soviet symbolic weapon of WW2 and should be presented accordingly in the game.

Hm, well I was as far as to assume it's some nuclear doctrine. Maybe a nuclear doctrine based on terror and secret nuke launches. Thus the one to blame for the launches is a God and NOT Germany. Basically - and thanks to this doctrine - the Germans can nuke New Delhi - for example - and all the blame goes to Kali. Or to Kratos if they decide to nuke Athens...
Besides that I am really looking forward to DH.
ok but why have bonus for TD? I have never seen a stug with a caliope (rocket launching attachment for shermans)
IMHO it adds supression bonus to carriers to prevent partisants on the sea

Let's tease you all a bit. The Hammer of Gods, in addition to its other changes, does something related to nukes.

I guess it is so because every doctrine tree has a special nuke-related tech...

In this case I withdraw my previous statement. I think I will wait until I see the details of the tech tree and the effects of the techs itself... and then complain about them
The nuclear techs make me really really hopeful that we will finally see a better nuclear combat component to the game. Perhaps late WWII and Cold War scenarios could have an AI that might or might not go nuclear? Perhaps a nuclear targeting AI that would attack high value provinces? Or is it about the use of small tactical nukes that provide huge bonuses to your unit's ability to do damage, but at a terrible cost to provinces and dissent back home? Hopefully cool stuff approaches.
Looks great, although you might change the Marine techs to Marine 1922 etc. instead of Naval 1922 etc just for the sake of clarity.
No anti-tank brigade, but a separate self-propelled AA brigade? Seems like an odd decision. Particularly since AT guns aren't really artillery.
Most of the changes seem reasonable and thought out, however. Especially the Armour Division tech.
Now, if you'll excuse me, I'll have to go research the Hammer of Gods tech...

How can AT give bonus to artillery brigades?!?!?!
Artillery in HoI2 represents heavy artillery with indirect fire ranges of 20km or more (100-200mm barrels). Anti tank represents direct fire weapons restricted by visibility and often limited to 1-2km or less due to penetration of enemy armor (30-100mm barrels).
These are not even the same kind of weapons dammit. The only thing they share is that they are both guns, its like you should merge Carriers with Battleships because well both are large and powerful ships!
AA and AT have ALOT more in common and if any brigades should be merged its these. Anyone how knows even the basics about WW2 and the German 88mm gun knows this.
Finally it's a disastrous decision both balance wise (as others have pointed out) and flavour wise since people will build nothing but artillery.
