Dmitri, get the Pe-2s

On the plus side, you can avenge Rosa and Karl by turning Germany communist.

    Yeah, what’s the point of this DLC seriously? HOI4 has like a dozen expansions at this point that have redundant overlapping mechanics which are buggy as hell and completely unbalance the game.

    They’d probably get a better ROI if they just reskinned victoria 3, but then I guess you’d get a bunch of angry nerds who spent their life savings on glorified modpacks.

      The Raid system seems interesting and might make strategic bombers more useful beyond supply drops and the occasional paratrooper operation.

      The special weapons project system has me curious, especially w/r/t nukes. As of now, nukes are piss easy to get as any country and are only really useful as tactical weapons against armies. Now, it seems like there will be an actual challenge in acquiring them and they can be an actual game changer diplomatically (they also mentioned late game content so it would be really neat to see the start of an early Cold War system).

      Also, urban warfare is getting expanded to be an actual meat grinder (a la Stalingrad), but idk how much of that is part of the free update.
