WW2-Global

[Baldurslayer]

If fascism is the Soviet favorite government will they not switch to fascism?

You can not switch your government type (at least not as a major power), it would take away from the historical accuracy and reduce the destinctiveness of the powers.

such a change only affects the "good will" in diplomacy so to speak.

The first V-1s were launched against London on June 13, 1944, a week after the D-Day landings. During the first V-1 bombing campaign, up to 100 V-1s fell every hour on London. Over an 80 day period, more than 6,000 persons were killed, with over 17,000 injured and a million buildings wrecked or damaged. From The History Place http://www.historyplace.com/worldwar2/timeline/v1.htm

Why did the Germans not use them until 1944? I guess to use them in mass.
It just does not seem like someone as evil as Hitler to wait 2 years to use a weapon of death and terror like the V-1.

I don't know about the V-1 but Hitler was in possesion of the state of the art nerve agent tabun (first of its kind) yet didn't use it despite the desperate situation towards the end of WWII.

We can only thank god that he never used his nerve gas.
The reason he did not use gas was he was afraid the British would do the same.
That does not make sense since at the end of the war he said he did not give a
F@%* about the German people . Although he never did. I think he flooded the sewers with people in them who were hiding from the bombs.He said the German people betrayed him.It is very hard breakdown the inner workings of such a mad mans mind.

It is interesting to note that Churchill had no such "moral" restrictions on using gas. It is documented that in case of a German invasion on the British Isles gas was to be used against the invaders.
By the way, Hitler was in principle also opposed to suicide missions. (Leonidas unit)

Ever hear about the German sound wave cannon.
I believe it could have killed at 250 yards.

BTW the NYPD now has a few "non lethal" sound wave weapons.

 

[Equuleus]

It was never built though.

One 'uber unit" is a submarine towed launch platform for the V-2 was tested successfully, effectively making it the prototype for submarine launched ballistic missiles. The project codename was Prüfstand XII.

I found a way to reduce the number of wonders needed to build units resulting in less cities razed by the AI.I took 2 unused buildings & made them small wonders named Airborne School & Marine Academy.With the exception of the US para & marines & the IJN marines all the a/d stats for the countries that build them are the same. So I placed 1 of each in Germany, France Great Britain,USSR,Italy & the Airborne School in Japan. This means that those cities & the wonders that had produced them will no longer be AI razed. The frequency differences that they were produced are not so great that it affects the game. I made paras 25 turns & marines 30 turns. Also since no civ can have more than 1 type of small wonder they disappear when the city is captured & it is not razed.
I also made a small wonder called Naval Shipyard that I gave to the US. GB & Japan that builds a dd every 7 turns since the AI loves building BB & rarely anything else. I consider these 3 countries the major naval powers needing the most help.Germany gets 4 auto built subs for every 1 dd this will produce & I do not think Italy was after they lose their fleet early but it can be added to any additional civ w/o any problem.I used 1941DD as the unit but any DD will work. I tested all 3 of these small wonders & they work.
I hope this info will be helpful to you.

The V2 was carried in a container with a type XXI uboat to attach North America. Also there were the A 9/A 10 ICBM. And indeed Hitler had Tabun. If he made that as warheads for the V 2 the effect could have been similar for the British like a nuke. Luckily the German scientist and soldiers of the project did not say that to Hitler, as they feared he could use it.
The western Allies wanted to use gas in Italy, if the Germans would make too much problems at Anzio. However the Germans made an air strike on Bari and sank 19 ships with about 80.000 grt. One of them was SS John Harvey. She was carrying 100 t of Lost, when the ship exploded. As all, who knew that, it was kept top secret, died in this attack, no warnings could be given. About 1.100 people died because of this. An escalation of the warfare was just stopped when US gas shells were found.
However for ww2 global there is space for the introduction of other weapons, like German SAMs like C 2 "Wasserfall", AAMs like the Kramer X4, ASMs like the Hs 293. Or guided bombs like the Kramer X 1 "Fritz X". Or anti tank missiles like the X 7 "Rotkäppchen".

Equuleus,

I have locked all governments in WW2-Global so this will
not be a problem.

The Dragonlord,

Thank you for the information.
I appreciate it.

City-razing by AI is still really a problem with the Civ 3 game-engine.
It would require just one more patch to solve it.

These weapons had one thing in common:

They came to late and and were to few to have any real impact
on the outcome of the war.

WW2 started as mobile war and ended as a war of attrition.
By 1944 5 new Shermans was produced for each one destroyed by
German forces.

Germany had its last chance at Kursk July 1943.
However the spy-leader Rudolph Rossler send the
plans for Operation Zitadelle to Stalin.
Thus Stalin and Zhukov could discuss the operation even
before it reached the German field commanders.

I think the "uber units" are best used in what if scenarios.
Example 1946 Hitler has all of Europe North Africa and the mid east.
Japan & Germany Split the Soviet Union between them.
Japan never attacked the USA at Pearl Harbor and the isolationists won the 1940 election. Japan instead went after Russia at the same time as Germany.
Hitler prepares to in invade the USA the free British in India & Africa are about to be over run. The Japanese have landed in Australia and New Zealand. etc

I regard the current Order of Battle and units that can be build
after research as relevant.
Thus I do not plan any drastic changes with regard to that issue.

Yes, these weapons came very late in use. However, in how far we should give this what if a chance? I mean it is all a what if from the very first turn.

Adler,

I think weapons of this type now available should stay in the scenario.
Also some new may be added.
However I do not think adding late war weapons is one of the most
important changes with regard to the future of the scenario.

[Adler17]

No of course not, but a good addition nonetheless.

1 . In my last game as Germany Sweden & Norway declared war on me because of my mine fields in their waters. Sweden told me to move them or declare war.
I had to declare war then because if i moved them the royal navy would crush me. Please move the mine fields out to sea a little at least from Swedish waters.

2 . Near Freiburg two units are called 75th Inf Div & 75th Infantry Division.

3.Krasnojarsk is mis named it is called Krasnoyarsk , Krasnojarsk I believe is how it is pronounced in German.

4. One question about the "India" resource if one add a harbor in Bombay then one could make India infantry in Britain? I think Delhi auto production of India infantry is best. Speed up the production maybe.

P.S. I did not want to have a ROP with Sweden.
