Wow, i am having a very interesting game as Japan right now. What i really like to see is the overall improvement of the AI. Italy always goes right to alexandria, only to get stopped there. The always land around suez, which is somethig a human would do as well, and this time they are holding it since 3 years and more, now.
At first i thought Germany would be on a rampage in russia, seeing it's effective Ic being around470 before dowing. Yet they got stalled 3-4 provinces away from moscow and holding the ground near the major 2 rivers, not having the strategic initiative anymore, SUs AI seems vastly imrpoved there.
Also very awesome: despite me mauling the US navy, they pull of a landing in northwestern france in 1942 already!! Thats just too awesome to be true.
I also like the event for spain to go axis, which provides quite some fun as well, although they lost some of southern spain to UK, but they keep holding it. in vanilla hoi they usually just drown in UK/US troops soon after the landing, but they keep their ground since 2 years now.
also: is it intended that germany builds carriers instead of BBs, after exiting PLanZ only uboats in like 1940?
