1st Johan said more than once, that Beta takes at least 3 months. Given the fact, that the game entered Beta 4th of February, the earliest release will be May.
2nd The devs stated multiple times, that they set new standards for their games, so they won't rush out Stellaris or HOI IV
3rd Don't forget, that there is still plenty of balancing and AI work needed. We also saw quite some bugs in the WWW series (Japan surrender, Command Group bug)
4th Also don't forget, that there still are holidays, like the Easter holidays and so on.
If i were optimistic, I'd say, we get the game in June...
Edit: And don't forget, that Johan mentioned several times, that the game will be out "later this year", which - by definition - reduces the chance of a Q! release to "0"

The wiki states that it will be released 2016, so regardless of what Q it is, it will be this year.
From what I see from WWW
- AI on Life Support
- Air Battle offers very little strategy and not fun
- There are still inconsistencies with the batlte planer.

The german authorities haven't checked the game yet, so it is automatically handled as USK 18. I guess it will be FSK 12 in Germany, if the devs don't put naked portraits of Mussolini in the game
After watching the 7 of the 9 World wars...trying to finish the last two. I can say from what I've seen its going to be a uncharacteristically non-buggy game. They've played it a ton a ton a tonnnnn. They should be able to kill a lot of the bugs and fix the game up with that effort..maybe that's me being hopeful. I also noticed a few missing icons, a few missing names for pieces (Mainly artillery) and the AI seemed...effective at least France did and that was presumably on normal. Soviet Union was a disappointment however that was because of a series of events outting Stalin and weaking industry power. Which is cool and interesting (I assume they weren't playing on historical mode, I remember that being discussed)
So all in all it looks as if the game is defiantly in a playable state but it needs work on those areas, Fill out missing logos, icons, and etc. Fix a few modes if they weren't playing on historical and knock out a few bugs. It looks close to finished. My big question is only how much work do they do. I'd say it looks like a 1 month project assuming they aren't adding in more features...but that's from my personal slave working mentality.

Despite living in Germany, I didn't know that everything is automatically 'ab 18', untill a rating has been decided upon.
ad Mussolini
- I doubt that even Johann & Podcat are so sadistic as to do that to their fans

After i am done with Europe and Asia in HOI IV, Germany will be a huge place to live in
HOI 3 AI is "decent" for a game of its complexity. If it´s in relative terms it´s actually very good.
It´s like saying a truck that uses X fuel is decent. If no one ever created a better truck, guess it´s hard to say it´s a "bad" truck isn´t it? I know I can´t do one that is better. Can you?
The problem with HOI3 isnt with the AI, its with the scripting. The game can only be so much fun, as you know everything the AI is going to do, when, where and with what units. After a few games there is no more challenge and you start to come up with quirky things to do. I have said a bazillion times, if the game had more "plausible" randomness that kept you on your toes, it would be far more challenging and thus entertaining. Just because certain things didnt happen doesnt mean its fantasy to make them happen in a game. Perhaps Germany attacks earlier, or later. Perhaps they take Denmark and the Netherlands first to secure the Baltic. And so on... also nations who have hereditary enemies should have to guard their borders. Playing Turkey for example and leaving my entire nation empty so i can send all my units to the Balkans or North Africa, simply would not nor could not have happened, the fear of a Soviet invasion, or one of their lifelong enemies in the Balkans was too real. Even in situations like this where nations allied out of necessity, still hated and mistrust each other.
Once in a blue moon its fun to take a nation and conquer the world, its more fun for most gamers to achieve "some" success under more realistic conditions.
