Un-biased opinion:
Not in any specific order.
- Confederate Armageddon (very nice mod)
- WiF, or EWWII whatever you want to call it.
- TRP
- 1914 mod (only WW1 mod for HoI2!)

Haven't tried C.O.R.E., but I think it's worth it, too.

Depends what you want...

If you want global alternate history greatest best are Kaiserreich and Peace to end all Peaces.
Good historical mods are Total Realism Project and World In Flames (Experience of WWII).
New Nations Mod adds dozens of new nations with ministers, leaders and tech teams.
Mod 34 moves the start date to earlier and with brand new tech tree it makes gaming experience very different.

All of those are great, but I suggest you start with Kaiserreich. It's not too different than some other mods are to other mods. And for me Kaiserreich gives so many memories... Beyond many years :)

Don't know about "greatest", but the most original mod is our FoDD - based on Fallout setting of 2253, with completely reworked everything, from events, tech and units up to political system and graphics. Releasing Beta-03 in August (despite it's beta, it's already playable and great). Multiplayer sessions each Sunday.

Kaiserreich is very well done and has plenty of events and such to satisfy any player.

Ooooh, forgot that one!

Yes, Kaiserreich does in fact rock on toast.

Best mod?
Depends on what you want.
Ahistoric mod? Don't forget Mod33, especially if you want to do a non-Hitler Germany or Trotsky's USSR.

Haven't played it but based on what I've seen from AARs Mod 34 is also interesting, and has a lot of real events in 34 and 35 that many people don't know about. Also good for those with a Spanish perspective.

SMEP with CCIP has been a long time favorite of many who prefer an events only mod that does not affect the tech system or way battles are fought. Some people combine these with DAIM for better AI.

CDCP with SIP for those of us who simply want bugfixes.

And finally an obligatory plug for my own mod in my sig--good if your primary interest is better surrender events, some post ww2, more revolters but not unrealistic ones, China events (actually some CCIP has missed!) but not an extensive mod affecting the entire game play.

Perhaps not the 'greatest' nor the 'most popular', maybe because its new but all thoses than played it and posted in the thread had at least one positive comment:

http://forum.paradoxplaza.com/forum/showthread.php?t=324972

Pteap is an alternate-history mod. Its also the first mod to include a modified map:
improvedmapnt1.png



But it all depend on wich type of game you are aiming for. If you want excellent historical accuracy TRP is for you but if you want something with flexibility then you can almost forget about it. (was just an exemple).

Well, how about these requirements...

1) WWII period (somewhat ahistorical Ok)
2) Not so many events that my computer will overheat.
3) Some enhancement to the combat system, e.g., brigades .that have more value beyond simply Marines plus artillery.
4)works with Armageddon with no (or rare) game crashes.
