I mean seriously ALL of France is divided into TWO air regions? So if I want to bomb the front in Lille (in a hypothetical German invasion for instance) I have to take into account the fact that my planes can't reach the Alps? Huge negative modifier on the mission efficiency of my planes especially early in the war when not all your war materiel is top of the line. Relegated to nothing more than a glorified passive modifier for land combat. I want to keep this short because I have no notes on me but Air Combat in HOI4 is totally FUBAR. It also turns out that I would put forward Darkest Hour as the epitome of the Hearts of Iron series. Too many discrepancies with the rest of the series. I would say that while HOI4 is a fantastic Grand strategy game it is not a suitable Hearts of Iron game. Im sure you faithful players and readers can contribute more tidbits of information along with a small analysis of comparison. DH vanilla 1.0 was also unplayable, but it was NOT a mayor game release like HOI4 (another reason why i havent bought a new game in years, never buy on release) It would be unfair to criticize the devs for one small bug or glitch, but there are apparently a ton of bugs and glitches that make the game unplayable.
A simple solution would be this: Include two campaign options, one historical and one sandbox, so players can choose which one they prefer instead of witnessing game breaking glitches like France just invading right through the Siegfried line like mad dogs or Netherlands capping Belgium. I dont have a problem with this directly, but i do infinitely prefer the good old formula of historical accuracy in the game rather than seeing Brazil just swallow all of South America or Switzerland sneak attacking Italy while they are busy in africa.
What madness is this? Could you imagine what force of destruction the german army would have been if they did not have any kind of fuel needs after building a tank? Units are no longer haunted by fuel requirements after being built, only during the building process is it needed. (i do hope that personal opinions are left aside, aka "hurrz grapikz suk") Yet regardless of what might be happening, let us take a look at how each game stands both on their own and in relation to one another. We've all seen whats been happening lately with the massification of HOI4 and how Darkest Hour, a venerable and highly customizable game, has been pushed to the sidelines in lieu of its more 'successful' cousin.
Note that this thread is mostly based on curiousity, as i do not own HOI4 and im basing my writings on what ive seen and read.
