1. AI still, and more than ever before is juggling divisions on the frontline. In case of advancement made by player, it can redeploy whole armies on the front, simultaneously taking divisions from the frontline, and ordering other divisions from far away to take positions of the first ones (ofc, marching there, instead of at least str. redeploy them), which leads to leaving frontline wide open, and general chaos in the rear of the front with dozens of divisions just marching, and enemy taking frontline provinces without any ressistance, or attacking moving divisions, which have just lost their entrenchment bonuses. And it can happen a few times during one month which makes frontlines effectively useless. The only reason why to still use them, is planning bonus, and therefore in the case of Grand Battleplan it is just impossible not to use them (because of loosing 50-70% planning bonus), and simultaneously dumb to use them, because of constant loosing of entrenchment, gaps on the frontline ets. caused by battle AI juggling divisions.
2. Both of polish focuses for research slots are broken, not just "Warsaw University" one. In case of picking one, the second is locking and unable to take.
3.1. I see it also as a missfeature, but France is far too weak. On "historical mode" as Poland in the early 1940 I was able to have 42 mil factories, while France AI had 37. Historically it is just incredibly dumb, because France had both GDP and Armed Forces (both in context of raw numers of men ond mechaniqe equipment) far greater than Poland, and even than Germany (in case of number of artillery pieces, and tanks). Also, France AI always loses to Germans, even if Germans have to fight on both Western and Eastern fronts. And She always loses at best around february-april 1940. Sometimes even in late 1939. Once I had game (before NSB), where France was able to hold up till 1942 (I was playing Poland ofc, because in other case France falls just after Germany steamrolls Benelux), and the AI STILL DIDN'T PICK focuses to remove disjointed government (and in conclusion also to remove "victors of WW1) nor the one which gives I think 6 or 8 civ (or mil?) factories (heroes of the production or sth like that). Both of these two were just available to take, and the AI haven't done it till downfall. Also the case of "French backward military doctrine" is absolutely disputable, because in reality in 1940 on the tactical lvl they weren't just steamrolled like it is in HoI4. On the tactical lvl they were able to fight toe to toe with Germans (via Battle of Gembloux Gap for example). They had different doctrine from the german one, but it wasn't backward at all. In 1940, they were outmanouverd on the operational level, and paralysed by luftwaffe air superiority (not supremacy also vorthy of mention) and that was the main reason why they have lost, and not some strange german steamroll machine which has punched straight through the French lines (like it is in HoI4). Also, they haven't capitulated till virtually whole of the Northern France was in German hands, and main part of their army was dystroyed.
3.2. tl;dr France is far too weak and needs a huge buff.
4.1. UK wants to get rid of Sikorski, so we will pick Sikorski as our leader. Sikorski has become the leader (Commander-in-chief) of Poland in exile only because of the intervention of the French ambassador in Romania, who both with German one were insisting on Romanians not to let Polish government to sefely pass through Romanian soil, and instead of, to intern them. Therefore Mościcki has designated Wieniawa-Długoszowski as his succesor as President of II Polish Republic, and Wieniawa was the one, who was opposed by allies, and not Sikorski! (and in aftermatch of these events, Raczkiewicz has become president, since the French weren't opposing him, and Sikorski has become C-i-C, replacing in this place Śmigły-Rydz)
4.2. Raczkiewicz was not a member of democratic oposition, he was a member of firstly: Sanacja, and secondly: pre-war "the Castle" Mościcki's clique, moreover he was even Voivode under the Sanation regime, and Marchall of the Senate from BBWR. It is just unhistorical, to make him some strange kind of democrat. Even after war, he appointed former member of Sanation as his succesor on the position of the President of II Polish Republic in exile.
