Because you can see the information without having to scroll over it, perhaps?
Never mind, this is one of those "Green vs Purple" arguments: it makes no sense to try and change people's mind over it.

looks very outdated to me.. I have no idea what kinda games the rest of you've been playing the last 10 years. Without any shadows, contours or anti-aliasing they look pretty bad.
Hang him high! 
Truly horsies (pony!) and shiny panzers what's not to like? Many of us have their imagination taking over in a glorious cavalry charge now ^^

I would like to see you buying a car: "Hey, it got wheels!" "What's not to like?!"
They look good, but I think that I will go with counters.
Plus that, I think that it may be cooler if the sprites are made smaller but everyone of them represents not one infantryman, but three.

There is a german cavalry unit on the screenshot. Wasn't the only german cavalry brigade in 1939 deployed in Eastern Prussia ? If this is the setup for a scenario starting 1st september 39 it could still be corrected.
This is a strategy game, it's not an uber-FPS like Crysis. I don't think we need lots of visual effects, the important things of this games are the gameplay, histoical flavour, etc.
Probably, but I think many people who love HOI-series don't buy it for its graphics, personally I think the graphics are nice, any higher would be a drag on the system requirements, any lower would well... below EU3 (and reducing on quality isn't really the way to go
)
Sprites are 2D by definition so these are indeed animated 3D models. The counters on the otherhand are 3D sprites. However that is the technical terminology, we're still calling them sprites regardless.
Yes I agree with both of you. Thats not my point, the point is that everyone's saying the graphics looks awesome, and that really makes me wonder what they're comparing with.Probably, but I think many people who love HOI-series don't buy it for its graphics, personally I think the graphics are nice, any higher would be a drag on the system requirements, any lower would well... below EU3 (and reducing on quality isn't really the way to go
Compared with other games similar to Hearts of Iron.Yes I agree with both of you. Thats not my point, the point is that everyone's saying the graphics looks awesome, and that really makes me wonder what they're comparing with.
Compared to HoI2 ofcYes I agree with both of you. Thats not my point, the point is that everyone's saying the graphics looks awesome, and that really makes me wonder what they're comparing with.
The 'sprite' graphics look as good or better than ETW's campaign map units, which is a graphic heavy game. Considering HoI covers the whole globe real time, I think that we are looking at the best available.
Why Tiger?
It's very iconic German tank, but I think a Panzer 3 or 4 would work better.
(unless if that's a work in progress)

Look cool, although i am still a die-hard counter fan. But for flavor it's awesome.
