I'm tired of pretending the Teutonic Knights weren't heroes bringing superior Western Civilization to ungrateful Slavs.

Who pretends otherwise?

Teutonic Knights were peaceful missionaries forced to take up arms against decadent and wicked Slavs...

What if during the Battle of Tannenberg:

- The Crusaders avoided repeating the mistakes of Hattin (heavily armored in sunny weather, stay cool, rotating their vanguard to avoid heat exhaustion) and Adrianople (not falling for Lithuanian light cavalry bait, similar to Cuman horse archers), instead they utilize their own crossbowmen and light cavalry to absorb the skirmishers, maintaining an unbreakable wall of heavy armor and steel, counter hit-and-run tactics.

- The War Hammer: Now secretly called upon who historically the Livonian Order (a branch of the Teutonic Knights) stayed out of the fight due to a truce with Lithuanians leader Vytautas. By calling them in immediately instead of sending the insulting "two swords" to the Polish King, a fresh, highly trained northern army arrives on the battlefield. As the Polish-Lithuanian forces exhaust themselves against the Teutonic shield wall, the Livonians strike the Lithuanian right flank. It is a textbook hammer-and-anvil execution.

- After crushing victory, they convinced three major sellswords to switch sides:
1. Czechs - Historically, the legendary Czech mercenary (and future Hussite leader) Jan Žižka actually offered his services to the Teutonic Knights before the battle, but von Jungingen arrogantly rejected him. In this timeline, the Order pays him his weight in silver. Žižka's tactical genius and heavily armored infantry turn on the Polish flanks, collapsing their center. However he never engage in the battle or present similar with Miyamoto Musashi.
2. East Slavs - The Smolensk regiments, who historically fought to the bitter end, are given a stark choice: swear fealty to Marienburg or face annihilation. As vassals, these battle-hardened Ruthenian and eastern Rus' infantrymen provide the Order with the heavy, resilient foot soldiers required to hold the line while the Teutonic Knights execute devastating flanking maneuvers.
3. Tatars - Jalal ad-Din, son of the Golden Horde’s khan, was fighting to secure Lithuanian backing for his claim to the Tatar throne. The victorious Teutons offer him a better deal: Teutonic gold and safe harbor in exchange for his loyalty. The Order, historically lacking effective light cavalry to run down fleeing enemies, now commands elite steppe horse archers.
