A long time ago, one of the members of an earlier T2k forum ran the following page (now only available on the Internet Wayback Machine) devoted to WW2
http://web.archive.org/web/200907292...00ww2main.html

He used Version 2.2 and never got to finish the site but it has a healthy number of military vehicles and a small arms page (though only with German and US weapons done)

However, the guy who did the page was also a firefighter and produced some rules for calculating fire (like how fast it will burn and so on) that are well worth keeping

I can make 2.2 work, especially with this wealth of material. Nice find!

You're welcome and if you're after real world stats for various 1930s and 1940s vehicles so you can convert them to T2k, I'd recommend the Danish Army Vehicles Homepage (alphabetical list of vehicles). Although not every vehicle has the necessary stats, they usually all have a picture or two and a web search may find the required info. Overall, the site has a really good range of WW2 Allied military vehicles as well as various civilian types used as general cargo or personnel transports (and it even has some farm tractors!)

Another idea I had bouncing around would be a campaign centered around an occupied USA, in vein to The Man in the High Castle. The players would all be 'marauders' on the fringe of the Occupied Territories, fighting with what surplus WWII weaponry and Axis weaponry they can steal. It'd also put a solid emphasis on food/fuel/ammo since they'd be living in the woods/mountains.

Interesting idea. If you intend to take that path then the following sites may be of interest.

German aircraft projects http://www.luft46.com/
Especially this page on the Amerika Bomber because it mentions that Doctor E. Sanger, the designer, was almost kidnapped after the war by agents of the Soviet Union because Stalin liked the idea of the Amerika Bomber. You could use this as a feature of the impending conflict between Japan and Germany with Japanese agents plotting the kidnapping of the Herr Doktor.

Strange German vehicles of the 1930s-40s http://strangevehicles.greyfalcon.us/
Plus a page claiming to show some Nazi futureworld ideas http://futureworld.greyfalcon.us/

Japanese experimental vehicles http://mailer.fsu.edu/~akirk/tanks/japan/japan-exp.html

Italian experimental vehicles http://mailer.fsu.edu/~akirk/tanks/I...ntalTanks.html

And if you really want to waste an entire afternoon reading a forum thread, this one has a lot of experimental vehicles from various nations http://www.histomil.com/viewtopic.php?f=345&t=5294
