/HOI 2 1.2 Bugs identified
• Gorund_defense command does not work
• (Very Serius) When at war with Denmark, no fleets other than transports can reach the Baltic even from Baltic ports. I expect this serious bug relates to every strait in enemy hands (in this case Copenhagen) of the world map (e.g. Gibraltar or the Suez channel). The possibility of using transports in this situation I imagine is another mistake willing to represent submarines…
• Air bases are supporting more than their maximum limit (actually any air base can support any number of air units so no need to improve existing air fields) naval bases seem to have the same problem although not sure how they were intended to be used.
• (Incredibly Serius) Some a.i. air missions seem to be assigned only after reload… don’t need to tell how terrible this bug is... Independently of how annoying it might be, until it is sorted, you should frequently reload, at least ones a month if not more…
• (Incredibly Serius) Air missions like strategic bombing and naval attack at sea seems to take place very rarely… the new HOI 2 air warfare looks very nice on paper and much better than HOI in the theory but someone forgot to actually implement it for the ai…
• The unit name command does not work as a trigger.
• The under_attack trigger seems not to be working.
• Random events seem only to trigger once a year after continuous play without reload. If reload is done at least once a year random events will never take place.
• Return-dmg from the ai files does not seem to be working and it is not defined in the save files either.
• Air units performing air missions (e.g. naval strikes) cover all provinces of the mission area even when it is way beyond the range of the air division.
• The ship sunken report after battles is not accurate.
• Upgrading of a unit to the latest model require knowledge of all intermediate models, otherwise will not upgrade. This is not a bug by itself but a bad feature that severely hampers unit models modding.
• (Very Serious) Difficulty trigger command not working.
• (Very Serious) Number of divisions trigger command not working (all HOI2 ai_reactive events are triggering without any limitation).
/Wish list for Paradox
1. Increased dissent penalty for Minister changing (at least to 2).
2. Give dissent penalty for change on domestic policy.
3. Increase the maximum speed level at least to the one HOI 1 had.
4. Leader skills and traits of a leader commanding a HQ should have an effect on subordinate units affected by the HQ.
5. Optional possibility to upgrade. This not only increases game flexibility but also would be of use for modding new division types. The best would be to have a box like the one use for priority of reinforcement which when ticked will allow upgrading (ai should be always upgrading by default).
6. Random technology command which could be also defined by tree (so the random technology will be limited to a specific tree and not any random tech).
7. Money as a trigger command.
8. Country specific auxiliary file (to be able to have country specific brigade sprites).
9. More modding control on Partisan activity (needs effects severity increase = more troops to keep them under control).
10. It would be good to have as it was the case in latest versions of HOI 1, a minimum combat engaging time to avoid the exploit of constantly disengage from sea battles avoiding unrealistically any possible blockade.
11. Leaders that have the possibility of being Ministers and Field commanders should play one role at a time.
12. Possibility to define model type for brigades when using the add division command (problems with upgrading).

• Air units performing air missions (e.g. naval strikes) cover all provinces of the mission area even when it is way beyond the range of the air division.
• The ship sunken report after battles is not accurate.
• Upgrading of a unit to the latest model require knowledge of all intermediate models, otherwise will not upgrade. This is not a bug by itself but a bad feature that severely hampers unit models modding.
• (Very Serious) Difficulty trigger command not working.
• (Very Serious) Number of divisions trigger command not working (all HOI2 ai_reactive events are triggering without any limitation).
/Wish list for Paradox
1. Increased dissent penalty for Minister changing (at least to 2).
2. Give dissent penalty for change on domestic policy.
3. Increase the maximum speed level at least to the one HOI 1 had.
4. Leader skills and traits of a leader commanding a HQ should have an effect on subordinate units affected by the HQ.
5. Optional possibility to upgrade. This not only increases game flexibility but also would be of use for modding new division types. The best would be to have a box like the one use for priority of reinforcement which when ticked will allow upgrading (ai should be always upgrading by default).
6. Random technology command which could be also defined by tree (so the random technology will be limited to a specific tree and not any random tech).
7. Money as a trigger command.
8. Country specific auxiliary file (to be able to have country specific brigade sprites).
9. More modding control on Partisan activity (needs effects severity increase = more troops to keep them under control).
10. It would be good to have as it was the case in latest versions of HOI 1, a minimum combat engaging time to avoid the exploit of constantly disengage from sea battles avoiding unrealistically any possible blockade.
11. Leaders that have the possibility of being Ministers and Field commanders should play one role at a time.
12. Possibility to define model type for brigades when using the add division command (problems with upgrading).
