Yes, the industrial might of the Allies cannot be overstated.
With the US involved, there was simply no way for Germany to win. It would have taken longer without the SU, and with more casualties, but the outcome wouldn’t change.
Besides, this is purely hypothetical history, who is to say things would have unfolded that way? We cannot know.
Wow…how can anyone look at the grind requirements and think that they are appropriate for a Tier III reward?

Which makes their excuse for not finishing bomber cockpits…well pathetic. I like the fact that Twitter/X lets you add community notes because someone always leaves a variant of “Over 2000 unique vehicles is a bit misleading. It’s more like the game has about 500 unique vehicles copied across multiple nations”.

lmao, are you telling me that all the massive attrition that the Soviets did to the Germans was simply not decisive, are you reading what you write? Not only did 2.1 million soldiers from their army die, the number of tanks and equipment, planes, logistics , all that was spent in vain on the eastern front.
And this
You are aware that the “aid” that the West provided to the Soviet Union was minimal compared to its own production, right?

Well manhattan took place close to the ending of ww2 and did not have that much of an influence on 1944 german goverment
Yeah… but if the soviets hadnt been involved in the war. Then it would have

also clear me the question pls, do you think it would be appropriate to celebrate a project leading to the strikes at 2 cities
Read this, specifically the chapter titled “Significance of Lend-Lease”

Cause commonly speaking, the victory of WW2 in Gaijin’s context usually refers to victory in Europe. The rest of the allied nations were engaged in the Pacific War with Japan, victory didn’t come till August.
But good point tho, wonder if they will copy and paste a B-29 (enolagay) as a reward for Pacific War V-Day.

I don’t think they will.
They rarely give out vehicles for “lesser” events such as Pacific War V-day.

More people died from the conventional bombing of Tokyo the week before than died in both nuclear bombs.
but never said anything about celebrating it. There is a Russian belief that the allies would have lost WW2 without the soviets involvement. Truth is. They only shortened the war, they did not single-handley win it like they often claim. From western industrial might, to conventional bombing campaigns and then projects like the Manhattan. The Germans would have lost the war either way

they stated that the upcoming events have a higher connection to historical events
In the final tally, America sent its Russian ally the following military equipment:
-
- 400,000 jeeps and trucks
- 14,000 airplanes
- 8,000 tractors
- 13,000 tanks
And these supplies:
- More than 1.5 million blankets
- 15 million pairs of army boots
- 107,000 tons of cotton
- 2.7 million tons of petroleum products (to fuel airplanes, trucks and tanks)
- 4.5 million tons of food
Americans also sent guns, ammunition, explosives, copper, steel, aluminum, medicine, field radios, radar tools, books and other items.
The U.S. even transported an entire Ford Company tire factory, which made tires for military vehicles, to the Soviet Union.
From 1941 through 1945, the U.S. sent $11.3 billion, or $180 billion in 2016 dollars, in goods and services to the Soviets.
In a November 1941 letter to Roosevelt, Soviet Premier Josef Stalin wrote:
“Your decision, Mr. President, to give the Soviet Union an interest-free credit of $1 billion in the form of materiel supplies and raw materials has been accepted by the Soviet government with heartfelt gratitude as urgent aid to the Soviet Union in its enormous and difficult fight against the common enemy — bloodthirsty Hitlerism.”
At a dinner toast with Allied leaders during the Tehran Conference in December 1943, Stalin added: “The United States … is a country of machines. Without the use of those machines through Lend-Lease, we would lose this war.”
Nikita Khrushchev, who led the Soviet Union from 1953 to 1964, agreed with Stalin’s assessment. In his memoirs, Khrushchev described how Stalin stressed the value of Lend-Lease aid: “He stated bluntly that if the United States had not helped us, we would not have won the war.”
Simple Google search, good sir.
