Hello /gsg/, just wanted to let you and Hitlermod know that I'll be here for the next 4 hours.

If there's anything flag related I can do for you just ask.

I'll also take this time to announce that V9 of the pack will probably be focused on the middle east, that is, Lebanon, Iraq, Syria, the Arabian Peninsula, etc. If you think another area of the world or some specific countries are more deserving of a spot in the next pack, do tell.

Man, I forgot that existed. But since it's such an obscure tag that almost never appears and doesn't even exist if you use HPM and derivates I think I won't include it in the pack, though I could try making flags for it and post them if you really want to.

>>152036991

Bieeen! Ya te extrañaba un poquito

Nice flag, I'm going to use that fo Mittleafrika when i add it. Did you get any ideas for the SS shit? If not I'll just use the normal German flags for now, or maybe the one you made earlier. I will also be here for the next 3 hours or so.

Ok, so right now I'm having some problems with the Chinese revolt/Civil War thing (specifically, I don't know how to set the state they want to take), so for now, I'll just add some events that will fire when the war ends, I guess.

As for the SS thing, realistically they wouldn't even change flags, to be honest. They'd want to keep the appareance of legitimacy of still being the same Reich, if only under new administration. If they were to change flags, they would try to keep as much of the old flag as usual, to keep appearances. That's what I was going for with my flag.

If you remain unconvinced, I'll do something else. It's your mod after all. But you'll have to tell me exactly what sort of SS administration you think would be going on, maybe we have different ideas about it.

I think that you could try doing something similar to what UnHPM did, probably with different colours. If it doesnt look very good I'll just use the normal German flag for now, or I'll use the other one you made.

>>152038407

>>152040247
Here's another one, as suggested, using the command flag of the SS.

I can try something similar using the other eagle design, or whatever you think about it.

>>152034221
Well what I like to do is as follows:

1. Send my entire navy to the Dutch east Indies since its useless against the british in Europe
2. Build transports and all available land units in the indies and send some back to Europe so that I'm left with a 21,000 strong strike force in the Indies and sufficient transports. Your going to have to play with the trade sliders to get enough resources for the units and ships (set it to stockpile like 200 clothes canned food and ships) since HPM makes it harder to get some goods early on.
3.once I'm ready begin justifying a Place in the Sun cassus belli against UK
4. Then (ususally around early 1838 but it varies) launch the attack without calling in any GP allies (calling them makes it more difficult to get everything you want since they become war leader and usually add a humiliate CB or something stupid like that or don't press all your wargoals). ITs best to launch it before the British start expanding by event into Northern South Africa so you dont have to compete with them later.
5.Use my navy and colonial force to occupy the colonies while my main army deals with BElgium and Hannover and fends of British landings.
6. Let ticking warscore do the rest

When it goes well I can get Belgium, both Capetown and Eastern Cape, Ceylon, and part of east Friesland from Hannover (rightful dutch clay) all by 1840-2 ish. However in the recent version of HPM its a bit harder it seems. First Prussia often Allies with GB so you have to find a way to avoid that or keep them from joining in (one way is by declaring war on Belgium, since the AI almost never calls in allies after the beginning of a war). However now France tends to try to intervene as soon as you add a cb on belgium. There are ways to avoid all of that happening but you have to play around and also get reasonably lucky.

Well, I can't make it all black for obvious reasons. I did think this up, but it doesn't look quite right either.

>>152040767
So basically the first SS flag I made but in red? Could be, but I really think an SS flag should always be black and white. It's their traditional palette, putting colour in it seems wrong.

I don't want to continue that save we played last night.

Yes, maybe you could swap the Swastika and the SS thing? also i just noticed the Mittleafrika flag doesn't have the same cross as the RKMs and that one, maybe you could try fixing that while you come up with something, but I think I'll just use one of the desings you made, I really think there aren't many other designs that could work.

>>152041425
>maybe you could swap the Swastika and the SS thing?
That would give the SS symbol a way too central place in the flag, which wouldn't make sense symbolically. The swastika should always be in the foreground.
>also i just noticed the Mittleafrika flag doesn't have the same cross as the RKMs and that one, maybe you could try fixing that

Ok, I got some ideas, i got this desing, an a similar one. I looked at this https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Runic_insignia_of_the_Schutzstaffel, and I think you could use some of these symbols, and the SS in the middle makes sense, you could try dropping the Nordic Cross, and using something a bit more like what I made, or something where you could fit those symbols.

>>152042412
Ok, I see what you are going with here, and it makes sense, but there's one problem with that. What your flag would indicate is not merely the Reich under a new administration by the SS, but a whole new State. The flag you propose would make sense if, after the SS took power, down the line you got an event to deepen and perpetuate the SS administration through a modification of the State. In such a context you could even implement Neo-paganism.
I don't know if you can implement that in the mod though, maybe you'd even have to create a new government form and I don't know if that has an impact on performance.

Also this is a sketch the Mittel Afrika flag. I need to polish it, but it's basically what it will look like, if you like it.

>>152044694
Not really Germany still has the same problems invading Russia, the Germans would literally never have any way to even touch the British isles after the battle of Britain (and there were contingencies if that went badly) So lets assume that there is a huge slog in Russia that goes on for longer, eventually Germany will become exhausted and unable to defend itself from a British attack if it continues to fight the Russians or it'll lose ground against the Russians and end up being pushed back to Berlin.

It was an impossible war the moment Hitler decided that he couldn't let the Soviets exist.

Oh and that's ignoring the fact that the german economy would have buckled completely if thngs dragged on too much, the soviets perfectly countered the Nazis plans to send back everything to germany to boost the economy by burning it to the floor, eventually France and Norway would have been completely plundered. There would be labour shortages due to the Nazis ideological opposition of women in certain jobs as more men are needed to go die in Russia. Etc.

>GB would have stalemated (inb4 sea lion) because neither side had the material capability of invading the other

Sea lion was a pipe dream ofc. A stalemate as you call it is a german victory. On the long run the germans would have outproduced GB so on the long run there would have been a favorable settlement.

>USSR probably would have won ww2 w/o lend lease because they had more mechanized/motorized infantry and better performing tanks - but even more people would have died and it would have taken longer

Yeah no it doesn´t really work this way. Apart from the fact that a generalizing statement like they had better tanks is wrong- there wouldn´t be much of these left in 43. Without lend and lease germany would have complete air superiority, soviet logistics still would be garbage and in no way able to support large scale offensives and last but not least massive starvation because circa 40% of soviet agriculture was in the ukraine.

>>152045267
>britain starting overlord on its own

Yeah no. Germany never could pull a sea lion true but on the other hand GB never would have been able to start a large scale invasion of europe. Without the total air superiority, the logistics and the additional troops the americans provided it just wasn´t gonna happen.

Also: What is with Japan, are they happily fucking over india and the other european colonies? I guess GB would have to focus most of its forces in asia.

>>152045816
Oh sure there would be massive problems in the long run BUT they would be even larger for the UDSSR and GB. Lend and Lease allowed the soviets to focus their industry completely. Without lend and lease there wouldn´t be as much shiny new t34s as there would be soviet trucks and soviet special machine parts. Oh and also there would be MASSIVE starvation. Ukraine was the breadbasket of the UDSSR.

GB would have to keep japan in check and wasn´t a totalitarian society so war fatigue would have been much stronger there. And colonial unrest

>>152045816
Germans were HORRIBLY undermanned even before Barbarossa.
If they like peaced out with UK and fought USSR alone it would still be a nightmare. And USSR would still probably win in the long run.

Yes and Japan wanted to invade american land for oil, so it was always going to happen.

As for india, they might conscript people and then they'd go from the paltry 2.5 million volunteer force to something obscene. Good luck invading india. The Indians liked the English a lot more than the Japanese.

And any british invasion comes after years of germany grinding itself to death in Russia like what would happen in this situation.

>>152046528
And to add on this basically Germany vs USSR is same as Japan vs China.

Too many pops, too much land to cover.

germany's historical failing in russia would have still happened and in my opinion, a weaker russia still would have won but it would have taken longer

also russia had a coherent doctrine after stalin let go of the military reigns, germany never achieved one

The second you route/capture 3 million men, and another 3 million are waiting for you over the ridge, that's when you know you're not winning a war.

The Russians did not care one lick between 11 million Russians dying, and 20 million, 30 million. They'd do it to stop the fascists. The war is the great patriotic war for a reason, it was a war for survival. You don't peace out of that. Your country may be in a fucked up state afterwards, but you don't stop fighting a war to exterminate you.

Sure and they just pull the equipment out of their ass? (if we ignore the fact that GB surely would have pumped india full with weapons because there was no desire for independence there).

And to add on this basically Germany vs USSR is same as Japan vs China.

Yeah no. They couldn´t conquer all of china/udssr due to logistics and the sheer vastness but the respective other side wasn´t able to reconquer their land without massive outside help.

t34s were the second easiest to produce tank in the war, requiring a fraction of the man hours of a panzer and less material so I think they could have still produced them

Some of them yes but not nearly enough to fuel the meatgrinders that were the great offensives of 43/44/45. Seriously read up on how costly bagration etc. were. The soviets had the manpower but without lend and lease they sure as fuck neither have the material nor the logistics.

>also russia had a coherent doctrine after stalin let go of the military reigns, germany never achieved one

You act like the Russians didn't have tons of industry behind the Urals and the resources to capitalise on it. Germany would hit labour shortages and resource problems FAR before the Russians would.

>>152048867
To be fair, an isolationist USA might actually make stalin go "I don't need to have a ton of buffer states everywhere"

The aggressively anti-communist US policy was pretty much what drove stalin to go full warsaw pact.

Greekposter AKA smallbubba AKA host, are you here?

>>152049130
But Stalinism was about single state USSR anon.
Isolationist USA would make USSR probably tighten the grip over Europe even harder and incorporate everyone in 40 years.

>>152049457
Eh most historians since the 60s have typically agreed that the main driving factor behind the land grabs in eastern Europe was defensive in nature. Of the three mainline ideas there are, 2 are dependant on an aggressively posturing US, without that, no reason for Stalin to feel the need. They'd probably want to install sympathetic governance, but other than that they'd probably be happy enough to leave alone + some lip service to Russia as the vanguard of the revolution.

>>152049873

Russia did not exist in 60s :)

>>152048624

>Do you think the UK was some kind of backwater production wise?

Compared to the US? Yup, And you needed that sweet US production to start a massive offensive on fortress europe.

>The sovets are on the defensive, they can keep making the germans go forwards. The germans have to get all the way to fucking vladivostok before the Russians would even consider stopping the fight.

Read a history book. UDSSR was on the verge of collapse in 41.

>>152048867
>War is just about manpower.

Are you all that retarded ? The soviets weren´t some kind of unstoppable giant and they sure as fuck wouldn´t have been able to afford the massive manpower losses they had up until 45 forever.

>>152048956
>didn't have tons of industry behind the Urals and the resources to capitalise on it

They hadn´t thats the point. Yes they were able to save a lot of industry but all of you underestimate the MASSIVE material losses the soviets had to endure. This industry would be preoccupied in building trains and trucks and shit like that. Oh and btw again the population would starve.

And just to throw some lend and lease numbers in the room:

British Empire and Commonwealth: 31 387.1

Soviet Union : 10 982.1

value of goods delievered in million dollars

Something we also didn´t talk about: The deep shit GB would be in without US help.

In 1943–1944, about a quarter of all British munitions came through Lend-Lease. Aircraft (in particular transport aircraft) comprised about a quarter of the shipments to Britain, followed by food, land vehicles and ships

UDSSR:

which amounted to about 30% of Soviet wartime aircraft production

57.8 percent of the High-octane aviation fuel

the USSR was highly dependent on rail transportation. Just 446 locomotives were produced during the war, with only 92 of those being built between 1942 and 1945. In total, 92.7% of the wartime production of railroad equipment by the Soviet Union was supplied under Lend-Lease

Speaking of USSR my grandfather was there in 1982 i think...he brought back bunch standard stuff (watches, refrigerator, radio etc).

You dont get that kind of "built to last" mentality with capitalists nowadays.

>>152049979
But it did. It was the largest Soviet within the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics.

>>152050045
Some more lend and lease stuff :

Furthermore, the logistical support of the Soviet military was provided by hundreds of thousands of U.S.-made trucks. Indeed, by 1945 nearly a third of the truck strength of the Red Army was U.S.-built. Trucks such as the Dodge 3/4 ton and Studebaker 2½ ton were easily the best trucks available in their class on either side on the Eastern Front. American shipments of telephone cable, aluminum, canned rations, and clothing were also critical.[29]

According to the Russian historian Boris Vadimovich Sokolov, Lend-Lease played a crucial role in winning the war:[24]

"On the whole the following conclusion can be drawn: that without these Western shipments under Lend-Lease the Soviet Union not only would not have been able to win the Great Patriotic War, it would not have been able even to oppose the German invaders, since it could not itself produce sufficient quantities of arms and military equipment or adequate supplies of fuel and ammunition. The Soviet authorities were well aware of this dependency on Lend-Lease. Thus, Stalin told Harry Hopkins [FDR’s emissary to Moscow in July 1941] that the U.S.S.R. could not match Germany’s might as an occupier of Europe and its resources."

You're the one that needs to read a military history book and some military theory before you start quoting figures which have been criticised routinely as being misleading towards making the soviets look like they produce less, this has been a well known debate for a very long time. Many economists project value of produced goods way over double what others do because of the methods of calculating these things.

The US would never refuse to sell things to GB so that's a none factor (If you're making a mod in a world where the US isn't interested in selling things to Europe then you need to strip all US industry because the US built it's industry on the back of WW1)

A modern military would struggle to beat the Wehrmacht in a war barring unrestricted nuclear weapons, you can't fight against a force that can lose your entire fighting force several times over that has no intention of stopping.

SOOOOO MUCH THIS.

You're the one that needs to read a military history book and some military theory before you start quoting figures which have been criticised routinely as being misleading towards making the soviets look like they produce less, this has been a well known debate for a very long time. Many economists project value of produced goods way over double what others do because of the methods of calculating these things.

Its not even about how much they produced, its about the character of the lend and lease shipments. The total focus on war production wouldn´t have been able without lend and lease.

Again soviet logistics and tons of the other shit you need to have an army was delievered in big parts through lend and lease. The small stuff like enough trucks to transport ammunition to the front or fucking canned food was the important shit. The shipments allowed the soviets to focus their potential on war production.

>>152051113

Aircraft carriers are -really- fucking expensive. Also they are doing that but it's easier and faster to make artificial islands out of sunken reefs.

They're spending 9 billion dollars on 2 aircraft carriers, but China has other problems in that regard that they have no admirals that have participated in a carrier battle to train other admirals in how to do it. They're well aware of their own limitations. The island building thing is quite a pathetic move militarily yes, but it's also just functional enough for what they're doing.

Maybe it's something to do with the fact that the soviets had a bunch of complete rookies in most positions in the army and after 2 years of war they were finally well versed in warfare and had defined a new doctrine that served their current situation as an army with limited education and training.

So why could the germans start successful offensives and the soviets weren't able to until 43.

>The germans always had a somewhat functioning logistics System and enough production of supplies and ammunition
>successful soviet offensives only started happening after lend and lease really started pouring in in 43

Proving you know nothing about WW2. The German logistical Soviet rails were too wide for German trains, meaning that they couldn't use the infrastructure they conquered. Also, during the Holocaust, trains carrying Jewish prisoners were given priority over trains carrying supplies to the front. Combined with the Soviet scorched earth tactics preventing looting, the German supply situation was terrible. They hadn't even bothered to equip their troops with winter clothes, which crippled their capabilities to go on the offensive during winter and allowed for numerous successful Soviet counterattacks, the most notable one being around Moscow.

Also, "How do you explain away the fact that successful soviet offensives only started happening after lend and lease really started pouring in in 43" is a loaded question, which just shows how shit your argument is.

>>152054993
The soviets showed that they were already versed enough in warfare in typhoon etc. They just had a distinct lack of material in certain areas that prevented successful offensives with a deep reach. Ofc the quality of the officer corps improved but the trucks and trains were more crucial.

Meh, even in 1943, reich receieved much more raw materials than ussr. Coal: 3 times more, steel: 2.5 times, electrical energy: 2 times. Still, somehow, germany produced less armaments. And from equal amounts in stock, ussr deployed: tanks and artillery - 5 times more, waplanes - 8 times more. So if you think deutsch production lines were super effective, i guess this isn't quiet true.

Oh gee maybe the soviets had even more problems?

Yeah that was problematic. The german supply System was far from perfect, that was my Intention in saying: somewhat working.

>scorched earth

Not like the soviets had exactly the same problems when the started a counter attack. Surprise,surprise the germans even did the same when they retreatd.

>Winter clothing
Again,the germans weren't perfect and that was grave misconception.

>counter attack around moscow

Typhoon as i mentioned. The germans weren't pushed back far and had a position threatening moscow until 42 or 43. Thats what i mean with successful counter offensive. Ofc they started some offensives and pulled of successful counter attacks in some locations but for the most part they were a clusterfuck like the second battle of charkov.

Nice selective choice. As i explained again and again:

The germans had to produce a ton of shit like trucks themselves the soviets got delievered. So ofc the production of tanks etc. was lower. You would have to compare industrial production in total.

I've responded to this:

So, we may state: soviet economy wasn't ineffective first and last, compared to german. I guess you wouldn't say that production of tanks and planes is somehow irrelevant, right?
Besides, Germany collected recources from almost entire western Europe. After excluding occupied countries (11 in total), we still have ore, bearings and cannons from Sweden, mechanical, electrical devices and antiaircraft guns from Switzerland, wolfram from Portugal, oil from Spain (retraded via Latin America). Also Germany had a huge bunch of volunteers from all over the place. How many men were in french resistance? 5000? Wehrmacht had about a million french soldiers on the First front under command. And you still claiming germans were all alone?

I never claimed that wtf. That underlines my argument. The SU without US help would have been in deep shit. I am just saying this meme about endless soviet ressources,industry and manpower is bullshit. The lend and lease helped to compensate soviet weaknesses and allowed them to reach their full war potential. The germans had concquered a lot and had a lot of military experience in 41. Without help the soviets wouldn't have been able to withstand the massive loss of War material and land. There wouldn't have been a german victory necessarily but also sure as hell no soviet one. How should they have pulled off shit like bargation with 5%of the trains they had and only 2/3 of the trucks?

If you're playing as a New World nation, for fucks sake, TAKE IN AS MANY IMMIGRANTS AS YOU CAN. It's the only way you can keep up with the other GPs.

And using immigration quotas will ban pops with literacy levels lower than 50% from coming to your nation, so obviously this excludes many groups such as Southern/Eastern Europeans and Chinese.

Pops will assimilate very fast and they'll become of your state's religion too, adapting the literacy rates of the pop they're assimilating too. There's no reason to keep them out.

Just keep the open borders policy.

>>152062414
>Without help the Soviets wouldn't have been able to withstand the massive loss of War material and land.

They were doing a pretty good job of withstanding it throughout 1941 and 1942. The Soviets didn't have unlimited industrial capacity or manpower, but they had more than the Germans, And with the Germans having heavily overextended themselves by the summer of 1942, they had a much easier time getting men and supplies to the front than the Germans.
>How should they have pulled off shit like bargation with 5%of the trains they had and only 2/3 of the trucks?
They could've used horses, like the Germans did, or just given the army more supplies to carry around.

>>152062414
>meme about endless soviet ressources,industry and manpower is bullshit
Yes, we can agree about that.
>the soviets wouldn't have been able to withstand the massive loss of War material and land
Nope, can't agree. When goods delivered to soviets finally reached big numbers, the RKKA already stood on pretty solid ground. Though Lend-Lease were a great aid in the upcoming reconquest, of course.
