Map size seems alot smaller

[Nasr]

From watching the WWW thing it seems the map is smaller than in previous versions of HOI, also smaller than EU4 and Vic.

Am I just imagining this or do others notice the same thing?

I noticed the same thing. HOI3 had names in the provinces. I don't think those names will fit in the current province sizes....that said it still seems to work just fine and I think its an example of cutting excess where it makes sense.

Map realism is not something you want to start arguing in HOI4 XD

Sure thing, it is not realistic, not to scale, a lot of problems... but as they say, gameplay trumps everything.

I was actually surprised how Daniel in WWW today got from Poland to Urals in less than a year, with mostly infantry units. With next to no encirclement, mostly front line push. And supply a dozen divisions behind the Caucasus. If you want realism, don't play HOI4.

I wasn't talking about projection, just map size compared to previous versions.

Seems alot more compact than usual.

I think the amount of provinces is about the same, but due to gameplay changes (less micro) the map tends to be zoomed out more.
Plus, yes, the speed of advance into russia did its part
