It would be nasty for any germans running into them but they would hardly be invincible. The the side hull and the rear should be vulnerable to several high end german weapons. Besides there would not be any ammo and spare parts for them in 1944 and they would need them soon. They would not be able to do much more than the B1 bis at Stonne or those KVs during Barbarossa.
The Nimitz in 1941 on the other hand would probably be able to win the war in the Pacific by itself. With its conventional weapons arsenal and historical knowledge it could have wiped out the bulk of the japanese fleet without breaking a sweat and if it carried nukes onboard Japan was in a world of hurt. All of this before spares shortages would have become an issue. Submarines would have been pretty much the only thing capable of touching it and the odds would be against them.

Now in the frame of the mod itself, Chieftains being sent to some remote corners of the Empire where reserve units still run on 1940s tanks could wreak havoc (provided with decent support) at least until the Mammuts come in play. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

#Update#

The Imperial units of France,Switzerland and Austria have been upgraded and the Reich OOB itself has seen a major reworking of the infantry formations within it. Discrepancies between my Soviet OOB and the regular one have been cleared up although my new Soviet tanks have, as of yet, not been added.

The USA OOB just requires the addition of some new Heavy tanks. I have some icons around that will be suitable.

I would like some suggestions about how I can go about safely combining the British and Canadian OOBS together.

The new Luftwaffe units are ready. All the historical ones that is. I am now working on some interim fighter bombers and bombers. Suggestions for credible 1960s 1970s and 1980s designs would be appreciated.

A prototype "White Russian" OOB has been set up in the Red OOB. At the moment they are equipped with Imperial weapons and so on. The Mujahadeen OOB is complete (with American, Chinese, Russian, Reich and Allied weapons available to the infantry).

The Israeli, Iranian, Syrian, Lebanese and Greek OOBS still need work. I am not so sure what should be done about the rest of the middle eastern OOBS. Any suggestions.

Belgium and Skandinavia still need work too.

That is about it at the moment. I would like some help later with the development of a splash screen and a new icon (if allowed).

#Update#

The Luftwaffe units are now implemented. I will run the new units by my tester soon.

Do not download these icons anymore please. They are out of date. go to the newer post on page 5 of this thread for the up to date US Heavy Tank icons. Thankyou.

You are welcome Monty. That is why I post them. For you guys. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif.

I will be posting an updated Pershing Icon set. It was brought to my attention, that my source for the Pershing dimensions were not accurate. I corrected the problem. I will be releasing the Pershings and M-46 Patton hopefully before days end.

I recently hit upon the novel idea of coding in a .50 Cal. Assault rifle. Apparently an American firm produced what they dubbed a mini-50 rifle (12.7mm). What do you guys think?

Oh and by the way, I still need confirmation on those US heavy tanks and if possible some decent reference material on their armament and so on. Armour values are a must.

How do you post pictures up on screen as opposed to putting them in a file for download?

Post the image to an image hoster (Imageshack or similar) or your own website and then use an "[img]" tag with the URL.
