Looking at the encyclopedia now, Monty; and very nice.

Random thought -- do you have a rough idea of how German technology in various areas developed from the late 1940s in your timeline?

What would you like to know?

If you take a look at OOB44, for instance, you will note that the air assets are mostly VTOL technologies around the 1960s onwards. These aircraft are supposed to represent likely aircraft-carrier / colonial Fliegerhorst load outs.

In OOB35, a more conventional Luftwaffe can be found: Jabos, Bombers and Strategic Bombers.

The helicopters in both are a mish-mash of extrapolations (based on existing models from the US and USSR) and real-world German projects (some completed up to and incl. the prototype phase).

Just how complete was the III Reich's victory in Continental Europe in the mid 1940s? Was the USSR forced to the negotiating table and severely reduced in power by the capture of Moscow and the death of Stalin in the turmoil following Moscow's fall?

Reason I ask is if the USSR is still an active serious going concern, it has a lot of influence on future post-war AFV design; through the IS series of heavy tanks and the T-44/54 AFV lineage.

If however, the USSR is a puppeted shell of itself, then a lot of the pressure for product improvement is lost globally in AFV design.

That is kind of up to the end-users, really. Why start placing constraints on people's imaginations?

It could be anything from a border that starts where the Ukraine and Belarus end all the way up to and including the Urals or along the Volga for that matter if you'd prefer something in between.

I prefer the border to be at the Urals.

For the sake of playability, wherever that border may lay the USSR (and the communist block) has still to be a viable opponent.
