What If

As an event, or maybe even a test of future campaign maps, and to kill two birds with one stone as far as balance goes… “D-Day never happened, the H-Bomb was never used and Japan never surrendered, the Soviets never made it to Berlin…”

The Year is now 1946 and the World is still at war. Prototypes (and produced vehicles that never saw battle) made it into production. (The Bearcat, for example)

There is a long list of things that were either on the drawing board or in prototype that never got to see action because the war ended… What if it didn’t?

I mean it is more realistic than battles on the moon and Mechs running around lol

I don’t think prototype/ experimental content should be blocked only to What If campaigns, because the great thing about this game is it has content from the very famous and mass produced to rare, prototype, and experimental. Just look at some of the Gold Orders

Point is prototypes and experimentals already have a place in this game as is and they can be added whatever

Im not opposed to servers that are strictly historical

True, but most of those were failed early war stuff. I mean the stuff that was ready for mass production (not the experimental phase)
Both Japan and Germany had awesome rear engined planes that never saw action that were supposed to be mass produced.

Some of the next generation U.S. stuff was already on the assembly line but either missed the war, like the Bearcat or did see combat, but only in the final weeks like the M-26 Pershing.

Judging by the way the developers balance the capture rate and the number of allied reinforcements, this is already a reality.

The Axis powers equipped with FG42 light infantry and Panther and Tiger tanks resisted the Allies on the beaches of Normandy;

The Soviet Red Army held a Fedorov assault rifle in street fighting with the German army equipped with FG42-2 in the city of Berlin.

The Soviet Red Army in the Battle of Moscow was heavily equipped with AVS-36 and the German army was equipped with Zh
