I only had eight divisions on the field due to my tiny population, but they had kill-to-death ratios that would make a pro Counter-Strike player sweat, enough stored veterancy that their unit cards were emblazoned with skulls, and were overall just the hardest bastards on the entire Ostfront.

Wow this game is great and really delivering a truly fun, believable world at war. Why doesn't gsg want HoI4?

6/10. It will be fixed with DLC and easily become better than HOI3.

What's stopping me from ignoring this stupid battleplan shit and actually ordering my troops around like in HoI 2 ? The AI is beyond retarded

Well, did you defeat the USA? I see the UK is defeated and if the Allies are defeated as a whole then you will directly annex their territories as their governments-in-exile have nowhere to run to.

But then I do see that Poland isn't directly annexed, which is odd.

Did you take all of France at first or did you do the historical thing of splitting it in half?

...hold on, I just checked the pic again.

It's standard. You have taken all of metropolitan France because Vichy has been declared war upon and has joined the Axis. France still exists and Vichy still exists. You just own all of metropolitan France now.

Yeah but how the fuck do you activate them

The AI sucks so much, it's not even funny.

-It disproportionately deployes divisions across the front, resulting in very weak points that can be crushed.

-Completely unresponsive, does not react at all to encirclements.

-Does not react to units losing battles. In DH, if a unit was losing the AI would try to reinforce is as soon as possible. In HoI4, this never hapens.

-Does not attack your weak points. I left a province across the French-Italian border completely unprotected. The French never bothered to attack it. But they did attack one of my armies on a mountainous region, which resulted in their defeat.

-Does not cancel doomed attacks. In DH if the battle wasn't going well for the AI, it would cancel it and try again with more troops. Here, the AI will keep going until the battle is forced to be canceled due to your victory. This results in huge casualties for the AI.

-Activating a battleplan interferes with manual orders. HoI4 development team bragged about both making invasions more streamlined, while maintaining the ability to manually control your troops. They fucking lied. You need to de-activate the battleplan in order to efficiently give manual orders, otherwise the second you give the order, the AI will give your units a new one. Battleplans are thus reduced to a cheap trick to give you that 50% combat bonus.

-And of course, ZERO (0) battle feedback. In both DH and HoI3, after a battle you would get the battle report, which included the casualites of each side. It added a lot of flavor and immersion to the game.
In HoI4, you can invade and destroy the entire Soviet Union, and you would never notice that a battle happened, other than some green/red dots on the map.

Definitely a downgrade. Not even worth pirating.

when there is a battle, a dot appears on the map. if you are winning it's green, if you are losing it's red. the dot has a number inside. when that number reaches 100 you win the battle, when that number reaches 0 you lose the battle.

It looks like shit and manages to run even worse than HoI 3. i don't give a shit about how many shiny 3d models they put in there. I don't play gsg for pretty graphics. Where the fuck are my counters? inb4 DLC
Also research tree is disappointing as fuck. You literally just research one type of tank/aircraft and that's it.
Remember how BF-109 had dozens of modifications which were improved during the war and there is a massive difference between Bf-109 E and BF-109 K. Here, you research BF-109 and that's it. No chance to improve your tech, like in HoI 3 with engine, fuel, armament upgrades.
