It just seems they were being spiteful. If they actually knew history and didn't just repeat bullshit they were reading on reddit they could just use the excuse that without Hitler, Rommel would not be fast tracked for promotion, and would instead seek greater prestige in the colonies.

Irl He has sent to North Africa for Germans secondary front because High Command (Franz Halder) didnt like him. And tried to sideline him.

It was pretty hilarious when Halder sent more German generals to Africa to try and act as middle men between Rommet and the Italians, but the italians didn't want another german general looking over their shoulder, so they just threw them all at Rommel and gave him a beefy general's staff

From my understanding it's people hating Wehraboos so they go lol no supply meme when apparently that was because his staff or something routinely fucked him over. Watching TimeGhost's WW2 series it's amazing how well he is currently holding up in Africa while essentially being given little that he needs in terms of military resources.

I find that people who seethe about Wehraboos are more insufferable than the Wehraboos themselves. At least they sperg about how great and cool looking the Germans were, they on the other hand seemed pissy that the Nazis fought their wholesome 100 Soviet Union.

"Anti-Wehraboos" are full of commie apologists, self-hating germans and angloids who are butthurt because they couldn't win a war without america

Rommel did make bad mistakes because of recklessness, but unlike a lot of his contemporaries he realized the strength of initiative, and would routinely win or avoid outright defeat in situations where he wasn't supposed to.
Operation Crusader is for example one of his defeats, but in the end he managed to avoid the destruction of his army in a situation where the British basically threw double the amount of tanks and trucks at him, and yet he routinely managed to maneuver around them

lolworthy reason considering Rommel wasn't all that concerned about doctrine, the reason for friction between high command and Rommel was that Rommel had the tendency to act as a company commander while in the role as division commander, and tended to go rogue pretending he wasn't receiving orders he disliked, and a lot of superiors felt he was being fast tracked to army command because of his close relationship with Hitler while ignoring his reckless behavior and strategic mistakes.

It just seems they were being spiteful. If they actually knew history and didn't just repeat bullshit they were reading on reddit they could just use the excuse that without Hitler, Rommel would not be fast tracked for promotion, and would instead seek greater prestige in the colonies.

IIRC, when the anzak reached Tobruk, Rommel was nowhere to be found, since he was trying to lead a raid in a fuel depot by himself while his soldiers were leaderless. The truck he was on broke, but by sheer luck another one found him, however when he finally got the situation the enemies were already attacking.

Also they moved Rommel from Germany to German East Asia for reasons, probably to "trigger the wehraboos" because apparently Rommel would've gotten no where despite being a WW1 era celebrity from his actions in that war.

Rommel is overated in general, but i don't really see a reason for it in the mod since there's no nazism in that universe. You can still put him as a right wing guy on Germany without problem.
Do they move Ludendorff to another region just because in real life he supported multiple coups against Weimar?

It's true that some are funny. But they're like the kind of memes that are «relatable». The first ones are a «hehe». Later on is «hm, yeah, this funi». But the hundredth time is like «could you please stop, stupid retard?».

Ludendorff did his military dictatorship in the ends of the 10's (kinda like the historical one) and after winning the war got couped or somethin', then he got exiled from politics (he stayed in Germany) becoz dictatorship bad and kaiser angry.

bruh, Ludendorff by his final years was a neopagan who wanted a stratocracy and believed Hitler was a pussy for not wanting a "survival of the fittest" society.
they could put him as le funny, would be way more interesting than the sindicalism thing.

I have only seen a handful of Wehraboos and they are far more tolerable than the anti-Wehrs that invest any HoI4 mod and absolutely insist every last Wehrmacht Conscript was a hardcore Nazi who singlehandedly murdered at least 40 Jews. There is this cringey history fan starter pack that circulates with those groups and it's basically mocking Wehraboos exclusively. I think this is it. Top marks to whatever lefty put Quartering in there, really showing how apolitically intended this meme is.

KRdeavs play fast and loose with character deaths. Lundendorff died the same time as he did in real life, while Floyd Olson survives his cancer a few years longer for wholesome chungus peaceful resolution to American Crisis betray America to socialists then kill the Southern bigots once again, then die from Cancer. Cause yes instead of keeping avoiding the Civil War, they removed the option for balance. Never mind they constantly tweek the ACW to try and make it finish up before the 2WK without ever addressing the real issue, the massive amount of bullshit the CSA can shit out if they aren't killed within a month.

It's a shame most KR drama is about the boring mod rather than the devs being trannies or anything.

Then again, the early OG devs for TNO were formerly KR developers and fans (or involved in some capacity), so who knows what they've been hiding.

Yeah KR is mostly worthy of laughing for it's retarded subreddit and leftists in dev team. I suspect the team is actually somewhat more politically diverse as the right wing paths aren't overly hamfisted as evil, sans Pelley who they turned into some crazy anti-Polio Vax (When the Polio vaccine was invented in the 50s I think) and makes concentration camps for blacks when in real life he was far from that insane. He did believe his esoteric shit however.

Is that the mod where the team is full of centrists to an autistic level of democracy's strongest in the world? Might be inking of the mod that starts in 1933 instead.
