In case this thread is not truly as dead as it looks:
A major nation (IC > 150, say) that has lost > 50% of it's VP's should be allowed (if previously researched as a secret weapons breakthrough) to use chemical weapons. Just because they weren't used in the war doesn't mean they couldn't have been. CW defenses would have to be added, and researched as well.
The submarine convoy raiding effectiveness simply has to be boosted. ASW effectiveness prior to maybe mid 1942 should be poor. Possible exception: Rushing and using CVL's could boost the weakened ASW. As a compliment, SS & SSH effectiveness against escorted (DD present) SAG's and CTF's should be almost non-existent, or certainly 1/3 to 1/4 what they are now. They could still produce some Capital ship damage if used in massed attacks, but at much greater cost.
CV's org loss on base strike must be addressed. It is too great now. Also, CV damage vs SAG's can be (somewhat?) weakened prior to 1942, or late 1941.
Allied AI needs to be more aggressive in STR bombing early in the war. INT's without radar support should be mostly only effective vs bombers after the damage on the sortie is done (although that may be how it is now).
AI amphib needs improvement (still).
Just some thoughts.
