How to add one new unit to the game?

For example an SS unit to Germany. Like all models and everything else independent.

I have created a new line of technology, accessible only to Germany, through a secret technology and an event.

My biggest question is in the file "Hoi_counter_strip" in:

Arsenal of Democracy\gfx\map

You can edit this file to add new counter?
I did not get success on this issue.

What game file determines the picture on the counter that a particular unit type should use?

Is it possible to create a second "Hoi_counter_strip", for to create new counter to assign the new units?

You cannot add another type of unit. The current list (infantry, cavalry, motorized, mechanized etc) is closed.
However the simple solution is to add another model level for example to infantry. CORE mod done this in few cases.
FE:
There are 0-7 levels of infantry. add level 8 and 9. Make level 9 your desired unit. Then make it avaible via tech research, but don't unlock level 8. this way level 7 will not upgrade to level 9.

Ok, grateful.

I did this and is already functional, but could not prevent other countries also had the unit available for recruitment.

I have included research by the "secret_weapons_tech". Did I do something wrong?

But then it is impossible to add a new division of land? A new type, such as "waffenss"?

You can unlock model level with event. Make this event country specific and voila!
