Here's to the new us.
The most realistic answer is probably the sheer scale of ruling most of the world. Suppressing rebellious activity in the US alone would be an enormous undertaking, even with super Jew science. Add continental Europe, Russia, other big chunk of Asia, and so on and I'd imagine the Nazis are a bit stretched thin in terms of manpower.

Yeah I would presume it's logistical issues on top of fierce guerilla resistance. The bridge you gently caress up in TNO was built partly to ferry stuff to the African front, i think.

It's only been like 10 years since they won in Europe, and that took them the better part of a decade. Even with Secret Kaballah Magic, subjugating the rest of the world is gonna be a slog.

The new title should have been in German. :colbert:

The only reason why they have America is because the Germans nuked them and they rolled over.

Why haven't they nuked South Africa?

Some of the ingame documents from TNO include letters from soldiers and civilians serving in South America, so overall it seems like the Third Reich has the northern hemisphere mostly sewn up, but is taking longer to digest the southern continents. Personally, I'm wondering if those speedy assassin-droid things we've seen in the trailers have been developed to augment the manpower the German army, since it seems like the Nazis have got to be at the point where there are literally not enough German/Austrian/other favored Aryan men around to properly staff their planetary occupation armies.

Oh yeah, and while all that's going on, the Third Reich is also trying to jumpstart a massive colonization and terraforming project across the inner solar system. Never a moment's rest with these people. Busy busy busy!

I don't know if there is an in game reason but resources would be a good answer. SA has tons of gold, platinum, and diamonds. NYC was nuked to break the will of the Americans, it didn't have any specific strategic value for an occupying army.

this. from J's speech and other stuff. it sounds like the american government bent over immediately after new york got toasted. from watching the previews it seems like at least the white south fared pretty well under the nazis. on africa, it seems like they still haven't taken it over completely yet and are still trying to take it over for more "living space" and slaves. maybe they dont view it as threat yet.

Given the nature of fascism, a forever war in Africa would probably be preferable to the regime to actually winning.

It is probably part this and probably part Nazi arrogance. Truly the peoples of Africa would be a lesser race and not worth using such an awesome weapon on. Surely our military might will take down such peoples, when it took down the likes of the British and Russians without the use of nukes!

I would also think it would be the nature of Africa's political organization too. Africa has never really been a homogeneous country and more tribal in nature; most of the countries in Africa exist from European Colonial powers just splitting it up. So nuking NYC scares all America into surrendering, or all of Japan. Nuking Johannesburg may impact South Africa, but it likely wouldn't cause ALL of Africa to surrender.

The brain will summon endless copies of clones in glass vats, who can only be destroyed when you kill the head, and automated turrets will fire at you. All in a couple minutes before a nuke is dropped on your friends.

God, I would be so happy if this game ended up with either massive DLC expansions or standalones like The Old Blood where BJ just goes from continent to continent killing all the nazis (with various folks like Bombate joining him at different points). Set it so that "The New Colossus" is actually BJ's code name in the resistance.

They've already announced their preliminary plans for the DLC, detailed below incase anyone has missed them:

    The Adventures of Gunslinger Joe – "As former professional quarterback Joseph Stallion, smash through Nazi hordes from the ruins of Chicago to the vastness of space!"
    The Diaries of Agent Silent Death – "As ex-OSS agent and assassin Jessica Valiant, infiltrate Nazi bunkers in California and discover the secrets of Operation San Andreas!"
    The Amazing Deeds of Captain Wilkins – "As the US Army’s renowned hero Captain Gerald Wilkins, embark on a mission to Nazi-controlled Alaska to dismantle Operation Black Sun!"

But The New Colossus is Anya, as established just before BJ gets hit with a nuke at the end of New Order.

Maybe it's a reference to hillbilly along with his name? But BJs little asides about his childhood to make it sound like he's from Appalachia or at least a very rural area, so he kinda is.

Psychotic Weasel

Billy would've been a fairly common name back in the early 20th century so it likely wasn't meant as an insult - probably just a way of trying to dehumanize him and make him look less sympathic by giving him a foolish name adding the terror bit to the front.

To me, it just sounds like someone having a very hard time pronouncing "terribly" and sounds weird.
