.If everything works as intended in this testgame i will upload the scenario. Probably there are somewhere errors in though and some more finetuning is needed.
Here is the readme about my current changes:
-Yamato battleships for Japan if they research lvl 4 ships. Slightly stronger than Battleships IV and artillery range 2
-Research costs increased, all lvl 1 groups need 120 or 160, lvl 2 240 or 320 and lvl 3 360 or 480.
Staff needs 240, 480 and 720 pp.
-Cruiser -25% damage vs. aircraft
-kayuschas have now no carry capacity and weaker attack, but cost only 1000
-T-34 for soviets added. A slightly weaker medium tank which only costs 1500 though
-King Tiger for germans added. About 25% better than a heavy tank IV, but needs more supply and slower. Needs armor 4 research
- Reworked increasing production and factories:
There are now 4 factory types with production of 2, 4, 8 and 16k. Cost for all of them is 20xtheir production, so 80, 160, 320 and 640 pp. 15x their production from vanilla seemed a bit too low to me.
Production increases are now seperately for each nation. The universal +25% in 1942 and +50% in 1943 are gone. Instead every nation gets free powerpoints via events, enough to roughly simulate the historic production increases. But for the allies those increases are a bit lower than historical to hopefully keep the game somewhat balanced.
As source for the data i used the charts on pages 54e,108e and 109e of the war diary of the OKW by Percy Schramm.
Those boni are granted:
1940:
West 600 pp, 100 each month from july to december. Can be converted via engineers building factories into 15k additional production. But you can also spend them on research instead if you think that is more useful. I recommend spending those pp on production though.
1942:
Soviets 960 pp, 80 each month = (up to) 24k additional production.
Japan 240 pp, 20 each month = 6k additional production
From june 1942 on production efficiency for München doubles, so the germans can spend 8000 production points on SS units from then on. This is because historically the germans started to greatly increase the number of Waffen-SS-divisions from 1942 on.
1943:
Germans 960 pp, 80 each month = 24k additional production
Usa (west) 6000 pp, 1000 each month from july to december = 150k additional production
-China got a second cheap troop type, militia. They are even weaker than conscripts and horrible, but they are cheap. They can be built in the safe hinterlands in 2 special factories that only produce supply for China and those militias. So China can use their Manpower. This hopefully leads to a somewhat historic outcome so that in this theater a stalemate is likely.
-Tweaked forts a bit. The small forts have only 400 structure points now and 40 structure points autorepair, but only cost 1 pp and 40 ep. The large forts have 2000 structure points and 200 structure points autorepair, but kept their cost of 5 pp and 300 ep.
So the small forts are basically field fortifications now whereas the big forts are "lines" like the Westwall or the Maginot Line.
-Germany starts with staff level 2 researched. You have to upgrade your existing staff though. This is to reflect the better german leadership in the early years of the war. In the polish campaign the germans have still been rather conservative though and it needed a lot of futile internal struggles in the german leadership. But eventually the brilliant german leaders like Manstein and Guderian managed to convince Hitler to accept their views and Mansteins plan for Fall Gelb.
It was not a complete success however because Hitler, maybe because he was a very conservative supreme commander, maybe because of political reasons, stopped the panzers in front of Dunkirch.
