A twist for a new WWII campaign this game sorely needs

Much rather them move on from WW2 into the Korean War or Vietnam instead of adding some kind of fictional “what if” scenario. (Or even move backwards into WW1)

Korean War or some other war wouldn’t solve the issue of Japan not having another campaign to transfer weapons to unlike all the other factions. Also, the Korean war seems fairly anemic in terms of weapons and tanks available. Then everyone would get mad anyway about tanks or guns that would have to be added for balance and flavor. Let’s just skip all the arguing about that and make a campaign which grants total freedom and has two strong sides which have yet to receive a modern fps game to showcase their experimental tank designs and guns/planes in a multiplayer setting.

Say you played HoI4 TNO mod without saying you played HoI4 TNO mod

I actually never played that. I am more of a road to 56 guy

My inspiration comes from games like Warfront: Turning Point, Turning Point: Fall of Liberty, Wolfenstein, and games and ideas similar to those.

How about a SAW campaign?

I mentioned that it could either go in the fantasy/sci-fi directions and or the historical one.

My personal preference is a combination of the two. I also made this suggestion because, at least to me, it seems like Darkflow and gaijin like to experiment with the hypothetical sci fi and fantasy wwii setting already. This is clearly showcased by the mech and moonbase events.

Axis winning, or at least getting close to, world war 2 is…
Not very plausible. At least for me.

I’d consider it more likelly if it were a “Unholy alliance” kind of scenario:
Basically communists side with fascists: axis + comintern versus the allies.
However, there would one significant tweak:
Japan joins allies in retaliation, sues for peace with nationalist china, while Mao of course sides with his comrades - basically it’s chinese civil war, and You can see them on both sides.

In this scenario, I could believe that axis + comintern could threaten the US, though, by that time UK would’ve been conquered, possibly Japan as well - if it comes to fighting on America’s continent soil…

If it is “whatever goes”, we’re probably better off implementing arcade battles…
But otherwise - yeah, I am for sci-fi and hypothetical “what-if” stuff, though, it should not come at the expense of more plausible scenarios.

This isn’t about an “anything goes” scenario, I want to keep the integrity of the established Axis and Allied teams, and to have one campaign with full combined forces for each side. My Scenario makes the most sense and doesn’t change the teams up that much, even if it’s not entirely the most “plausible”. The last vestiges of the Allied powers would probably be Siberia, the Rocky Mountains, and London(if Sealion wasn’t done early). I could easily see the Japanese and German armies linking up in both USA and in Russia as part of a logical invasion of each to the full extent, if the Allies refused to surrender.

I also already mentioned that other scenarios or hypothetical campaigns would result in a WAY worse regrind of what we already have, then on top of that there would be the issues people will have with the balance and historical accuracy of those campaigns. The solution is expansions to the campaigns we already have to include more historical maps and scenarios to fill in that gap.

That leaves room for what I’m suggesting here, a brand new idea with brand new locations and battles and the ability for the devs to have full creative freedom and no one would get mad about it. This comes with the huge advantage of having planned and brand new weapons to grind en masse.

Don’t get me wrong, I like historical accuracy and having the right things in the historical campaigns, but I would also like to have a full fledged campaign that explores the alternative what if side more. That would keep me engaged with Enlisted for many more years.

The gag wasn’t fun at the first time.

Oh so like if hearts of Iron had a first person shooter mode, i like that idea Blogaugis

Yeah, well one or two scenarios for the japanese could be the Sino japanese war or the russian invasion of Manchuria wich would be russia vs Japan. It was late ww2 after the fall of germany and during the A Bomb droppings (RIp the poor people who were caught in the fire of those inhumane weapons )
