Weapons of the Afro Reich
Afro Reich troops advance covered by a member of the 1st jet pack division. The jet pack program was developed as a quick low cost deployment of troop along with filling the role of super light air attack support craft (1964)
Rattle Snake attack helicopters in Coahuila y Tejas. Shortly before the use of MSC-1 (1963)
A MT-272S2 the main battle tank of the war weighing in at around the same size of the German “Lion” tank and armored with during ww3 the tank would be altered to have explosive reactive armor. Along with short night shights.
New Afrikan light carriers used guard in coast along with being used in the invasion of Mexico.
The Wolf Model 41 which would be called simply Wolf 41 and it is still sold among the civilians of the SNAR
LT-52 light tank used mostly in the African and South American Front as well as being loaned to the American Reich.
AW-56 the second generation of the New Afrikan assault riflethe first being the AW-37 which saw use in the second Great War.
New Afrikan ST-60 super heavy tank which was used to push through areas where WMD were used the armor itself would be lined with Led In between layers. The gun was cable of firing small nuclear war heads as well although only a few tanks were outfitted with those modifications.
Now for some more assorted photos from my railroad ideas that @TheMann and @Lucas inspired.
Aitchison, Topeka, & Santa Fe Pacific #3433 pauses at Santa Fe Union Station. Despite being one of the namesake cities, the Santa Fe nearly circumvented this city due to difficulty entering it. That is until in 1877 scouts discovered that the city could be reached if the line made a less direct route from Glorieta. In addition, the ATSF also interchanged with the Rio Grande's Chili Line here, which itself was converted from narrow to standard gauge in the 1930s.
Santa Fe Mountain #3743 leads the Missouri Chief somewhere near San Diego in June 13, 1933. The St. Louis counterpart to the Chicago - San Diego Chief, this train ran over the ATSF to Avard, OK - where the SLSF then took over the rest of the way to St. Louis.
It is a sunny June 1936 day in Tulsa, OK as Frisco Mountain #1516 prepares to take the Missouri Chief to the ATSF interchange point at Avard, OK. Said preparations include shunting an RPO from the train's Kansas City section onto the consist, which features mail said section picked up for delivery to the train's terminus in San Diego.
This photo shows Rio Grande Consoliation #1007 shunting along the Rio Grande's Chili Line neat Taos Junction, NM. The Rio Grande converted the once Narrow Gauge ROW to Standard Gauge as a way for shippers in New Mexico to get their goods more directly to Denver than the ATSF could.

Infantry Weapons, Vehicles, Aircraft & Ships
of the American Armed Forces
Standard Uniform of a Soldier in the
American Armed Forces, beginning in 1939. The revised helmets are made stronger by adding more layers of metal alloy on the forehead section. It is said that the helmet is enough to withstand 2 sniper bullets to the head. Some variants are designed with a retractable visor to protect their eyes from bright lights or flash bangs.
The M1939 Sprayer Submachine Gun is the main SMG deployed by the Americans during the Great Patriotic War. Soldiers prefer its reliability and generally compact size. It was able to adopt either a drum or a stick magazine. It would be deployed in large numbers to the regular army and the fast moving Shock Marines, the most elite force in the AAF. It continued to see use until 1957, when it was replaced with the M1957 Patton SMG
M1935 Walker Pistol, the standard issue side arm of the American Armed Forces. Due to its small size, it was easy to conceal in a simple coat or in a secret holster. It was the best friend of the Shock Marines, Airborne Corps and simple Officers, because it was reliable and easy to reload. On some variants, a silencer can be fitted to increase stealth capabilities.
The M10 Greyhound Assault Car was the main armored car used by the Americans during the GPW. It is fitted with a small 37mm M6 gun, suited for taking out trucks and cars, and a secondary Browning .50 caliber machine gun on the top of the turret. A .30 Caliber machine gun was fitted in the forward hull in a mantlet. It debuted in 1942 and would be used until 1960 due to its very cheap price. It was replaced by the M11 Wolf Assault Car.
An Imported Panzer IV (left) and an M9 Hummingbird Assault Car. The Hummingbird was the predecessor of the Greyhound, and was used from 1939-1942 when it was replaced with the M10. Soldiers complained about the M9 being cramped and under armored, which was true in their respects. The M10 answered most complaints of the M9. Minor countries continue to use this vehicle even into the 1980s, when it is finally outclassed.
P80 Lightning Striker, the Air Force's first operational jet fighter and the answer to the British Gloster Meteor, made in cooperation with Messerschmitt and has features deriven from the Me 262. The first P80s were deployed in 1944 over the Soviet Union, and were effective in taking down bombers and propeller based aircraft. It was able to outrun a Gloster Meteor as well. It was fitted with 20 RAM rockets and 2 bombs in the bay. It would be gradually developed into the P84 Daredevil.
M1945 Reaper Siege Cannon, pictured here being tested at Aberdeen Proving Grounds. It was originally intended to partake in the Siege of Moscow, but the siege finished before it can be completed. It was instead repurposed for Operation Sea Lion, and was used during the Second London Blitz. It was retired in 1950 as siege cannons were deemed unnecessary.
USS Wasp (CVS-18) during Operation Bombardier, the American landings in Ireland. It would also take part in Operation Lancer as part of the jointly assembled Flugzeugträgergruppe A, accompanying the Graf Zeppelin and the I Carrier. (Aircraft Carrier Group A).
German soldier poses next to a destroyed British tank in the aftermath of the failed Calais Landings in 1945. Operation Ranger was an attempt by Britain to retake Pas De Calais, extract as many resources as possible, and withdraw. These desperate raids for resources became so dangerous that command discouraged launching them except in very dire moments. What remained of the Royal Navy and a disorganized group of Fusiliers, Recruits and Veterans were gathered and partook in this Operation. This was the last time Britain would step foot on foreign soil, as they now focused on their mainland.
Irish Defence Forces on the march to defend the beaches during Operation Bombardier. Fueled with the war crimes of the war, Douglas Hyde (President of Ireland) decided to enter to boost Allied morale. Note the Stahlhelms being worn by the soldiers. From 1939-1940, they were supplied with thousands of Stahlhelms for the IDF. This increased the chances of accidental friendly fire during combat. Around 70 Irish Soldiers were killed via friendly fire, usually from snipers. The only difference is a seal of the IDF placed in the forehead of the helmet for distinguishable purposes.

Amtrak HST XG-100, built by ALCO and Budd Company in 1957. Formed in 1961 by American Government and Railroads, Amtrak pass to operate the new high speed bullet trains and intercity services on the "Steel Interstates". These routes are begin to be built in 1943 after the American Infrastructure Act, for rebuilding and modernize much of country transportation follow the International War.
Missouri Pacific EMD GP-7 #4185 and 4140 leads a freight train. After the IW, basic all railroads have in tired conditions, if old motive power and rolling stock as tracks in terrible shape and outdated infrastructure. One of firstly occurences are the change for new diesel and electric power for freight operations. Electro-Motive Company came if they sucessful General Purpose Series in 1953.
Milwaukee Road EMD GM6C #E86 in Chicago, 1973. By late 70s, basic all mainlines on US are electrificated in use for freight traffic. On other hand, passenger service are now operate virtually by Amtrak High Speed Trains and Turbotrains, Commuter operations and Luxury Land Cruisers, as Milwaukee Road Hiawatha and A.T.S.F. Super Chief.
In 1974, Amtrak are in need to replace they aging fleet of diesel engines, and turn on to EMD to build the F55HP engines. These became the norm for Amtrak diesel trains, usually on local and regional operations aside electrics and high speed. They became one of mostly sucessfull units built and are only replace by late 1990s.
General Electric EPH-800 B-B+B-B model, built in 1981 as way to modernized and standart the american railroads electric fleet. They became the common unit for use on Steel Interstate higher speed freights as well used on general operations by Southern Pacific, New York Central, Burlington Northern and Illinois Central. @Andrew Boyd @TheMann
Soldiers of the
American Armed Forces
The "Vanilla" or the "Standard" type of troopers is the largest and most numerous type of soldier, and the most common one to be seen in the battlefield. This is the normal soldier that everyone knows about. A new recruit needs to be a military schoo graduate to be eligible for the recruitment process. Shown above are the uniforms for a scout (upper right) and the normal line man (lower right). Soldiers of this type are nicknamed "Ground Hogs", since most of the members here are not eligible Paratroopers or not qualified for the air.
The "Airborne Brigades" or the "Airborne Corps" are the Paratroopers of the American Armed Forces. As the name implies, the number of paratroopers in every air squadron would most likely be equal to a brigade, at minimum levels. The paratroopers are armed with lighter equipment to suit their camouflage capabilities when behind enemy lines. They are also armed with lighter weapons like the M1 Garand and the M4 Paratrooper SMG. This type of soldier is both part of the air force and the army, but most of the time it's the army that gets the recognition. To become eligible for this class, a recruit must have finished parachute training at Fort Benning, Georgia.
The Naval Infantry are Navy based soldiers. They are soldiers who serve as the Army's naval force uses in amphibious operations and during island hopping campaigns, typically on ships. Usually these soldiers would mostly be known for being anti aircraft gunners and lookout spotters on ships and aircraft carriers, but they also serve either on the ground or the air. Naval Infantry is also the term used to refer to pilots of the Naval Air Wing. To be eligible for this class, a recruit must have finished the naval academy first.
Uniform of a member of the Marine Corps. The Fascist Marine Corps was the amphibious element of both the army and navy. They are the ones who actually deploy on amphibious operations. The Marine Corps' uniforms are usually less bulky than the standard issue because of their speed and agility in combat. To become eligible for the FMC, a potential recruit must be a graduate of the Marine Amphibious School in Virginia.
The Shock Marines, officially "Marine Division #1" are the most elite force in the Military. They are trained out of hand picked individuals serving in the normal army or marine corps. The Shock Marines' uniform can vary, depending on the operation at hand. They are also indistinguishable from the either the FMC or the Ground Hogs, as they wear exactly the same uniform. The only distinguishable thing about them is usually their weaponry and sometimes oxygen masks for radiated areas. There is no exact requirement to be eligible for this class. A recruit has to work hard in either the Army or FMC, and he or she may be chosen to be part of the Shock Marines.

After a successful contract with McDonnell Douglas, the F/A-18 Hornet will soon enter service among the Philippine Air Force by 1999. The Hornet will replace the aging F-5 Tigers used by the PAF and will ensure the country can secure its airspace from foreign intrusions especially in the South China Sea.

Not in this TL he actually becomes a double agent in the last days of the war as he sees what Hitler has been doing with his special “projects”. He ends of switching in the last’s days and helping the US. Also Hitler is found in bunker by a very very very angry undead Soviet NKVD agent and well...it doesn’t end well.
Major Engagements and Battles
Of the Great Patriotic War
A photo from the Battle of Vladivostok, the first engagement between Americans and Soviets, and the first time America and Japan worked together. The success of this battle, along with the cooperation between the troops, helped to ease relations between the 2 nations, and made them set aside differences temporarily. This was part of Operation Amur, the Japanese plan to take the Amur region for resources in Far Eastern Russia.
The German 800mm Gustav Railgun, the largest artillery piece made in history, firing at several Soviet positions during the Battle of Moscow. The Battle would become the deciding factor in the entire Eastern Front, with the Germans getting desperate because of the sheer winter, and the Communist Party of the Soviet Union on the brink of being overthrowned by their rivals. The Germans would narrowly win, but at the cost of 950,000 soldiers, the most bloodiest battle in World War II and almost 100,000 more than Stalingrad, the second bloodiest.
A Tiger I heavy tank participating in the Battle of Krasnoarmeysk, an important battle that eventually decided the fate of Moscow. Erich Hoepner's 4th Panzer Army achieves a major breakthrough against hastily assembled Soviet forces defending the town located north west of Moscow. This breakthrough would lead to Moscow being encircled, as Hoepner would go on to flank around the west of the city and eventually meet up with Guderian's Panzer forces west of Noginsk flanking from the east from Tula. This encirclement would begin the Siege, that lasted 3 weeks.
Soviet IL-2 Sthurmovik flies into formation over the Battle of Tula against Guderian's Panzer forces. The Soviet defeat at Tula would begin the process of encircling Moscow from the western flank.

Earth 4678-Gamma is one of the more troubling worlds we’ve come across. We believe the structure pictured above was built by a previously unknown TransDimensional Actor called the Children of the New Sky. They make extensive use of occult forces to a degree we frankly didn’t realize was possible. Apparently their arrival has caused quite a stir among the Indian and Nordic dominated cultures on this parallel between people who welcome these the possibilities these world hoopers could bring and those that fear they are trying to conquer their world. Needless to say the arrival of Recon Team-43 hasn’t soothed nerves. We’ve got a powder keg waiting to go off and we haven’t got a clue what the Children are capable of if we get into conflict with them. I seriously think we need to bring this before the UNSC before things spiral out of hand.

Jets of the Axis and Allies
The Great Patriotic War
Axis Powers
The Messerschmitt Me 262, nicknamed "Swallow", is the world's first operational fighter jet. It was first deployed in 1944 to the English Channel and over the Soviet Union, and would prove effective in taking down bombers and outrun propeller based aircraft. It was armed with 4 30mm Mk 108 cannons, which could take down a Bleinhelm with ease; and 24 R4M rockets. It was also able to carry 2 250kg bombs for bomb runs. It would be in service with the Luftwaffe until 1951, when it was replaced with the Me 265 "Jäger".
The P80 Lightning Striker is America's first jet fighter, and the second fighter of the Axis to be deployed in combat. It was developed in cooperation with Messerschmitt and Focke Wulf, which provided some armaments in early versions (in later variants, domestic weapons are placed). It was able to carry 20 RAM rockets and 2 M3 Browning Machine Guns. They were also purposed for carrying 2 1000 kg bombs. They were used until 1952 when they were developed into the P84 Daredevil.
It is notable that Italy never fielded any domestically made jet fighters until the late part of the war, but they did built 2 jet prototypes. The Caproni Campini N.1 was an Italian experimental aircraft built in the 1930s for, well, experimental purposes. It was slated to be produced for the Regia Aeronautica, Italy's Air Force, but was terminated following the death of test pilot Mario Sinatra and 7 other injuries during a fatal crash in 1942. The failure was purported to the unexpected shutdown of the powerplant and the failure to bring it back on. Italy would end up using imported Me 262s from Germany, until it developed the Re.2007 in 1945.
The Nakajima Kikka was Japan's first jet fighter. It was based on the Me 262's design and virtually had the same function. It would enter service on the last stages of the war. It was used in combat 5 times until the Treaty of Berlin was put into effect. It was put into service with the Imperial Japanese Navy on their aircraft carrier force during the last months of the War in China and the Invasion of India (via airfields). It was to remain in service until 1949, when it was replaced with the Kawasaki Ki 90.
Allied Powers
The Yak 15 "Feather" was the USSR'S first and only jet fighter deployed in combat. They used a reversed engineered German powerplant and was intended as a last ditch aircraft against the Axis Powers. They were used very briefly, only 3 times during the last weeks of the Eastern Front. Only 10 were built and flown in action. 5 were destroyed during takeoff due to strafing runs, 3 shot down in the air and 1 crashed beyond repair. The last remaining Yak 15 crashed and eventually repaired, and was brought back to Germany as a war trophy and for display at the Berlin War Museum. It is still there to this day.
The Gloster Meteor was Britain's first jet fighter and was the Allied Powers' most popular and effective jet. It was able to take on an Me 262, however it was slow when compared to a Lightning Striker. Early and Mid war variants were the most successful. They were used in the Second Battle of Britain as an interceptor and a fighter. Late war variants were rushed and sometimes not even tested, which caused numerous casualties mid flight due to sudden malfunctions. 20 survived the war and are displayed currently in Washington, Berlin, Rome and Madrid respectively.
The Dassault Tempête (Storm) was France's only jet fighter. It was mostly cobbled together from Free France's remaining resources and stolen German powerplants from crashed 262s. They saw very brief combat over the English Channel and London, flown by French pilots. Only 4 were completed, with a further 16 unfinished productions. 2 were spared scrapping and are currently displayed in Berlin and Washington.

It was able to carry 20 RAM rockets and 2 M3 Browning Machine Guns. They were also purposed for carrying 2 1000 kg bombs. They were used until 1952 when they were developed into the P84 Daredevil.
It is notable that Italy never fielded any domestically made jet fighters until the late part of the war, but they did built 2 jet prototypes. The Caproni Campini N.1 was an Italian experimental aircraft built in the 1930s for, well, experimental purposes. It was slated to be produced for the Regia Aeronautica, Italy's Air Force, but was terminated following the death of test pilot Mario Sinatra and 7 other injuries during a fatal crash in 1942. The failure was purported to the unexpected shutdown of the powerplant and the failure to bring it back on. Italy would end up using imported Me 262s from Germany, until it developed the Re.2007 in 1945.
The Nakajima Kikka was Japan's first jet fighter. It was based on the Me 262's design and virtually had the same function. It would enter service on the last stages of the war. It was used in combat 5 times until the Treaty of Berlin was put into effect. It was put into service with the Imperial Japanese Navy on their aircraft carrier force during the last months of the War in China and the Invasion of India (via airfields). It was to remain in service until 1949, when it was replaced with the Kawasaki Ki 90.
Allied Powers
The Yak 15 "Feather" was the USSR'S first and only jet fighter deployed in combat. They used a reversed engineered German powerplant and was intended as a last ditch aircraft against the Axis Powers. They were used very briefly, only 3 times during the last weeks of the Eastern Front. Only 10 were built and flown in action. 5 were destroyed during takeoff due to strafing runs, 3 shot down in the air and 1 crashed beyond repair. The last remaining Yak 15 crashed and eventually repaired, and was brought back to Germany as a war trophy and for display at the Berlin War Museum. It is still there to this day.
The Gloster Meteor was Britain's first jet fighter and was the Allied Powers' most popular and effective jet. It was able to take on an Me 262, however it was slow when compared to a Lightning Striker. Early and Mid war variants were the most successful. They were used in the Second Battle of Britain as an interceptor and a fighter. Late war variants were rushed and sometimes not even tested, which caused numerous casualties mid flight due to sudden malfunctions. 20 survived the war and are displayed currently in Washington, Berlin, Rome and Madrid respectively.
The Dassault Tempête (Storm) was France's only jet fighter. It was mostly cobbled together from Free France's remaining resources and stolen German powerplants from crashed 262s. They saw very brief combat over the English Channel and London, flown by French pilots. Only 4 were completed, with a further 16 unfinished productions. 2 were spared scrapping and are currently displayed in Berlin and Washington.

The Japanese Troubles
(1949-Today)
Emperor Hirohito the both the last non communist emperor of Japan and the last leader of a United Japan even the northern People’s Empire, he is often seen as a near god like if not a god so much so that even Stalin knew that keeping Japan under control would be a lot easier with some form of the old government intact thus he would help to create what is now known as North Japan ruled under a people’s emperor. The state would be largely economic and a politically independent becoming much more of a eastern Yugoslavia than a soviet puppet state. Keeping modified forms of traditional Japan political and social culture it would avoid much of the troubles of the Republic of Japan to the south.
One of the first attacks by the “Japanese Home Army” a far right group hellbent on a reunited Japan and recreating the old Empire. They would enjoy large support by conservatives in the south after the American reforms. While the Japanese People’s Front would enjoy support from leftist in south and battle with home army some resulting in open gun fights in the street.
Home Army “Soldier” waiting to ambush a local US convoy armed with a bomb belt under his shirt. “lone Wolf” style attack would be common sending one man armed with a “people bomb” and a gun to do as much damage before blowing himself up. This tactic was also done by communist in India during the “First Indian War”.
female Japanese vampire lay in wait armed with anti tank rocket. The Japanese People’s Front is one of the few Japanese rebel group that openly use the supernatural among their races most notably vampires and bakemonos.
A home Army man holds a RPG most likely stolen from another rebel group some times in the mid 60’s.

British Soldier in Japan (1985) with the troubles in NI they only could send a limited amount of men into the “conflict”.
