What about the total casualties statistics? I don't want DH to be a copy of AoD but it's one of the features I like there - to be able to see after a few years how did I do compared to the enemies or my allies.
this is one of the most important feuture i will not buy the game without casuality statistics it ads so much flavour to the game.
Yes this with casualties of airforce, navy and land force. Your own casualties but also approximately the enemies.
And add IC to the statistics.
Yeah, I would like to know how effective my troops are or how effective my convoy raiding campaign is.
Beacuse POW are not political correct and the paradox team love to depict political correct history
My short explanation (I hope this does not violate any forum rules. If so, moderators should feel free to delete it.)
POWs in WWII were often treated inhumanely. For obvious reasons, Paradox will not code the possibility to commit war crimes and the like in-game.
This leaves the possibility of having POWs that are always treated well. However, this is whitewashing history, and would lead to all sorts of arguments with both apologists and history buffs. Hence, they remove these problems by simply not including POWs in the game, especially since POWs were not very important in WWII. Besides, considering the environment of WWII, it is very unlikely that any sort of POW exchange would occur.
I do agree that for post-war modeling, POWs and their release would be important, but that is an unfortunate casualty of the above problems.
(this is my reasoning, I have no idea if Paradox had the same.)

Not exchange but liberations...for example after Germany gets occupied the millions of Allied prisoners come free and hundreds of manpower points are to be added, but let's stop discussing this now.
I’m all for more realism everyone (and I am no programmer so correct me if I’m wrong modders/DH team) but do you imagine the sheer number of casualties that would be calculated every few seconds?
Barbarossa and the Japanese invasion of Japan would probably bog the entire game down…
