Impressions from early-access streams

a pretty good summary that pretty much matches the design goals. I do expect people to struggle a bit in the beginning until they learn to adapt to all the changes

I fail to catch a single tank buff.

aye. we decided to hold off on it for release until we can see what people do with the new meta

I think Paradox should try to explain the system better in some way, such as by some in-depth tutorial video or guide.

We are actually working on making a set of naval learning videos for this purpose

fleet ~ army (high level orders)
task force ~ division (microing possible but intended to be left for AI)

yes, pretty much

On this particular point: @Bratyn did a lot of the releasable tags in his own time, so it's hardly surprising if there are some loose ends.

And while there's nothing wrong with your ideas, fixing bugs in gameplay (rather than alt-history cosmetic tags) would be much more important on my priority list.

Pretty much exactly this. UK was a main DLC focus, and so I put in a bit more effort for them (this wasn't even planned and was done on a whim by me because I figured it'd be cool flavor for the UK). USSR wasn't. There'll probably be more effort put in to the USSR at some other point. You're right it wouldn't take much time to do, but we're also busily fixing bugs found by pre-release streamers/youtubers so we can quickly get a Beta out to you guys after the release

It won't be in 1.6.0 or 1.6.1 as far as I know, but we've thought about it for sure. I can't tell you anything about when it might come in, though... All's dependent on the time we have, and all of the stuff we need to do in it!

Feels sad, but, well, thank you for clarification anyway. I kind of found temporary solution in cloning templates and renaming them, but it is just something annoying to repeat constantly.

I totally understand the frustration Sorry I can't be more specific!
