some remarks:
Heer did use roman numbers, but 40 was XXXX instead of XL, 41 XXXXI instead of XLI (even if this is wrong, that was the system, historically.
LXXXX as well (instead of XC)
Found it during my research and ignored it for the moment. Thanks for bringing ut up again. I've changed it for Heer AND Luftwaffe.
EDIT:
+ some other Armeekorps (mot, Gebirgskorps, named Korps etc)
While playing you'd see your Marines being labeled as (mot) or your Paras as Gebirgs- or even better your Garrisons would be named as Panzer-... Nope, that wouldn't work. In these cases you should simply rename them by yourself which is easily done. And the late-war creation of named corps (GD, FHH, HG) was an emergency measure to react to the significant losses of COs/staff officers during 1944. I wouldn't be surprised if these names were entirely created for propaganda purposes. 1. Fallschirm-Armee, anyone?
EDIT: navynames: i really think this should remain Flotte/Fleet instead of Flottille/Flotilla. the DD's, TP's and SS's are Flottillen/Flotillas (unitnames) - several flotillas are a fleet/Flotte (navynames).
A fleet is a huge naval force (20+ ships ?) which wouldn't be an appropriate name for the typical german naval unit in AOD. If we'd be talking about the Great War then the term 'Geschwader' would be an interesting alternative, but you'd keep in mind that the Kriegsmarine was way smaller than the Kaiserliche Marine and capital ships were nearly non-existant. Calling it Flotte/fleet would grossly overestimate the Kriegsmarine's bunch of smaller naval units.
Btw, are you aware that the basic operational unit of the Kriegsmarine wasn't the Flottille? During the pre-war years the german destroyers were organised in Zerstörer-Divisionen (4 DDs each) and the torpedoboats in Torpedoboots-Halb(demi)flottillen? Shortly after the beginning of WW2 these were reorganised into Zerstörer-/Torpedobootsflottillen. That was done IIRC to significantly reduce the overall number of COs occupied by staff work so that they'd create new frontline units. Italy had - and kept - a similar organisation for their smaller naval units: 2 squadriglias formed one flottiglia, while cruisers and battleship were organised in divisions.
EDIT 2:
+ i would delete the nations names. the british didnt call their 1st Corps british first Corps, or the french 319e Flotte Française - its clear that their unit is british or french.
Btw this wasn't my idea, this is already the norm since HOI2 - or even HOI. But each of the three files had a different scheme and I've reorganised them to be more consistent. You're quite right that almost all nations have an egocentric worldview and don't see the need for including their nation's name in the name of their military (and its units). (US Army, US Navy and US Air Force are the intriguing exceptions from this rule) But in game terms this does create unneeded hassle. If you count all their releasable colonies of either France or Great Britain they'll easily have 20 nations in their cultural sphere, which determines their naming habits. If these are allowed to send you expeditionary forces then you'll quickly see several 1st Corps and each consisting - if you're lucky - of their 1st Infantry Division, 2nd Infantry Division and their 3rd Infantry Division, i.e. you won't be able to identify them by their name any longer. Since noone wants to see their nation's name added to their division names it's preferable to name their corps accordingly. It's ofc a compromise, but in this case playability and easier access to crucial information are IMO more important.
+ i admit my french is not the best but shouldnt it be 2ème(3ème) Flotte instead of 2e Flotte (deuxième/troisième)?
The french military has its own definition/grammar - according to wiki and several other websites.
Atm I'm using vanilla's 'Flotte' (too big) for the Navies and 'Groupe' (too small) for the Air Forces of the french sphere which don't fit properly. I'm going to exchange 'Flotte' with 'Escadre' and the air corps will be named 'Division Aérienne' instead.
A first guess would be to assume that the engine exchanges the name of a corps if its name is an exact match of the entry in the line UNITNAMECORPS which will then be replaced by the entry found in the line UNITNAMEARMY. In theory it'd should work for air and naval units, too. In that case your concern would be invalid; maybe you'd simply do some test runs?
