This is making me want to get around to playing Russia again. I keep thinking about it and not getting around to it.
I havent played HPP in a long time. They did a really good job, perhaps my favorite mod, but one issue bothered me and i simply couldnt get around it. They had Diplomatic guarentees that didnt necessarily make sense and certainly werent historical all in the name of trying to get the war going.
See it doesnt matter what you WANT to do, its what you CAN do. Just like all that bluster from Churchill about taking on the Soviets at several points throughout the war. It was all talk, it was all he could do to keep his nation afloat much less take on a Major Power whom he had no real way of doing so. Now perhaps the versions had changed idk, but for example one issue was Germany guarenteeing Turkey, which didnt happen and wouldnt happen. Even if the Soviets invaded Turkey, Germany never would have DOW'd the Soviets until they were ready to, certainly not for Turkey, and definitely since their ability to defend Turkey was worse then the Allies ability to defend Poland. Some of the Diplomacy didnt make sense.
I wanted to go back and try it out but everytime i checked it was still beta for TFH, and i dont like playing buggy versions and i dont like playing earlier versions so im stuck with TFH vanilla atm.
I'd only want more events for historical flavor. That is to say, the little historical pop ups. I'd also completely rework the way the purges are done considering right now there's absolutely no reason at all not to do them lol.
I do always feel the urge to reinstall my hoi3 because it gets wonkily sluggish in so far as loading times go sometimes lol. I've played around with mods a bit, especially in Hoi2, but I never found anything that I preferred so vastly to the vanilla game that I would give it up.

Playing as SU is waste of time unless your just have free time on your hands to waste. The starting numbers are out of this world for divisions and HQ's but IC and tecs are lower than squat. Officer training is crazy too. SU can overwhelm any opponent in 41-42.
CGM makes the Soviets more interesting to play, I feel.
Mainly because I don't have to have a save game with preferred OOB anymore. I just go into CGM, keep techs the same and wipe all starting divisions from the map with a few mouseclicks and start over. I do something similar with Japan.
God, I hate the Soviet and Japanese OOBs.
