I like the new supply system, adding railway lines and hubs imo is a great move.

Logistics has been the area ive wanted to see improved for a long time so im glad its getting a focus.

But the question is, can the AI use this new system without shitting itself to death?

The Karelian front will definitely be more interesting now. :p If Finland can take Petrozavodsk and starve the entire Soviet far northern front of supplies... well.

I'm assuming they'll be improving the AI, or trying to, this patch given its focused on land warfare.

Why ask when you already know the answer?

Of course it will shit itself to death, its paradox ai.

Now now, they might go with the other Paradox school of AI intelligence, namely "it's impossible for the AI for figure it out so we're not going to make it apply to them."

Sorry, there will never be a soviet update to the shitty wwii game.

There are people who don't know why there is an impassable wall in the Sahara and I'm happy for them.

*announces Baltic and Finnish focus trees*

*announces Baltic and Finnish focus trees*

It would be utterly hilarious if the Baltic States get focus trees before the Soviets get a rework.

[Bralia]

Dick update is completely free, btw. I bet all of the men here will happy about that.

I would genuinely flip a table

Finland getting one sure yeah i wouldnt mind that. But the Baltics? Come on now

[Bralia]

Y'know, I seriously wouldn't be surprised to learn Baltic focus trees are coming . . . alongside the Soviet rework. You people are so overdramatic.

The Baltics given op focus trees where they can push Russia back to Volga, the Poles back to Hungary and the Germans back to Elbe?

Sure just have Estonia be able to form the Scandinavian Empire where they annex is a ton of countries with no repercussions ever and everyone is just fine with it.

You know like how people can restore Byzantium or the Roman Empire and everyone in those areas is just like "sure why not, im roman now despite the fact this is 1942 Yugoslavia"

This is why HOI IV is kinda lame in my opinion. Its like my decision to annex shit dosent have any weight after

The period it should rightfully have any sort of weight in is like, exactly 2-3 years after the timeframe of HOI IV ends lol. Mind you it's not like your annexation actually have that much of a weight in other PDX games, other than their respective flavour of infamy.

CK2 feels a little better, especially if provinces you conquer are another religion. Stellaris feels better as well when conquering stuff.

I just feel for a game that about the largest conflict in human history it does a poor job of feeling like it save for when the lag spikes start.

Keep in mind, virtually nothing about HOI 4 is actually close to the utter nightmare that WWII was (in every field, from boring crimes against humanity matters to logistics, joint planning, etc.), so it stands to reason it wouldn't have the same feel. Do most world wars even survive until 1945 anyway.

Well, yeah. The entire game is designed around "one" global war that ends in only ~5 years. And that's because when the war's over, the war's over.

I don't blame anyone for not liking HoI4 for your reason, I'm not a big fan of HoI4 either for similar reasons, but it's not a flaw of the game.
