Historical (and expanded) unitnames for your army, navy and air force
The biggest downsides of the HOI 2 armynames/navynames/airnames.csv files made by Paradox are their limited scope and also their inaccuracy. Paradox had given many nations the same armynames/navynames/airnames so that you can't recognise at first glance who's the owner of this unit. A lot of nations, especially revolters, were simply missing. And there could always be more entries. If you happened to run out of names you'd have to live with the replacement names. That led to the boring situation that many nations used the same army/navy/air names. It was a long time wish from me to have a set of largely expanded names.
Over the last months I've revised and expanded the files and used this scheme to categorise all nations:
If you check the files more closely you'll discover that I've grouped many nations according to their 'cultural' spheres which have the same naming and numbering habits: Russia, China, USA, Great Britain and its colonies, France and its colonies, Spain and its colonies, Portugal and its colonies, Arabia ...
Using almost exclusively wikipedia I've been able to fill most of the gaps and to achieve a hopefully satisfying level of historical accuracy. But nonetheless there are quite a lot of (purposely) fake entries left and I'm aware that I may have introduced a bunch of new errors or typos. Sometimes it was rather tricky getting around the language barrier but in some cases it was impossible for me. I'm therefore very interested in hearing advice or criticism from you so that the revised armynames/navynames/airnames will reach a high level of accuracy.
The set of revised armynames/navynames/airnames includes - atm - all playable nations and all revolters (U70-U99) which have been available in HOI2 Armageddon. The only exception which I've made is U00 which has been introduced by AOD for the European Union. (U00 has been placed convienently at the end of the file just in case you want to delete or revise it) Revolters U01-U69 and UA0-UF9 are missing atm because I don't have a definite list of those tags which are used by all major mods.
