The only time I actually played TNO Germany was to play Goering and go on a wild ride into the sunset to destroy that fucking nightmare of a world by ending it all with the "Fall Rockwell" event the mod is officially completely worthless. It was really the most fun path for Germany, the closest one to actually being a proper HOI4 game and ironically enough it was not THAT unrealistic. (I explain further later on this comment.)
Nah it had plenty of thing to break, especially with how garbage and overly autistic the devs were/are. Your first few focuses were all about going the equivalent of Nazi-Boomer and restoring "the real glorious wermatch that won our war and the good old days". Then there were a bunch of focuses and events about cleaning house and the local wars, where you would invade the closest Reichskomissariats that broke free (or just re-integrate them into the Reichspakt if they are still nazi) in some quick wars (I remember a particularly good event for invading the Dutch. Goering tells them they are gonna send a delegation to re-establish the ties to Berlin and sorta halfheartedly throws the fact that they need to comply or else be invaded. And he and his cabinet are just baffled when they get a message back from the Dutch telling them to go fuck themselves they are not coming back. "They refused? What? I mean... I guess tell the army to invade then. What the hell why would they do that?")
The thing is it quickly becomes clear that Goering is not actually the memetic "eh just invade it all we are the best military things were good when we were invading so invading will make everything better again!" he sounded like on the dev diaries and the pre-release. It quickly becomes clear that he is jingoistic but not actually that insane, but he has locked himself into that role by his supporters and his persona towards them. Think of it as the equivalent of selling himself out to the military industrial complex, except this is the NAZI MIC and said MIC also has the entire and unconditional support of the entire armed forced of all branches and veterans. He NEEDS to keep feeding it, which means he needs to keep invading and increasing military spending, even when he knows it won't work or he can't invade or it won't pay off.
Your wars really needed to encompass the Blitzkreig meme. You had a timer to get it done because the war economy can not sustain itself and if you take too long the thing collapses and Goering gets coup'd by another militarist (It was not implemented but it would eventually be Schonner whose plans were to prety much make "Every man a soldier" and just have a continent sized Volkssturm meme going on).
The War Plans come in tiers. You start with the local sattelites that broke free, then then perifery of the reich who are too independent for your tastes or worse, broke off, then you retake Russia and get rid of Himmler for the crime of having razed Goering's favorite vineyards to build his retarded doomsday cult state and Roma Delenda Est to really return to tradition of the good old Goths. And finally you finish off by declaring on either Japan or the USA a which point you cannot win because nukes and game over. (The game even lampshades this with a event on he US invasion of one of the militarists wondering why they are bothering to even get on the boats and cross the Atlantic to naval invade NYC since he knows the yankees are just gonna nuke them and he knows there is no way to win but figures out "Befehl ist Befehl" and that is how it is meant to be)
As you all can tell from this big ass text wall yes I am MATI this is a perfect show of how the entire fucking mod has collapsed. Realism my ass nothing about this mod was ever realistic, and even if it was realism comes in different shapes. A militarist and jingoistic empire collapsing because it created a ponzi scheme where it could not stop making war is actually one of the most realistic ends to a Nazi Victory and given all the retarded things already in the mod it makes perfect sense, if they wanted more "realism" for the a path all they had to do is make it a little harder to get to the end plans of war against Japan and/or USA and expand the "lose" condition of Goering getting coup'd to involve a economic collapse or similar.
Fuck these bitch ass trannies.
