I don’t see that much to debate here, honestly.
- Germany is somewhat meh, lacking late game focuses and being a bit bland, *but* it at least performs what it needs to do in historical games and has several alright alt-history paths to go in non-historical. Not great, but functional.
- Japan is utter garbage all the way. Historical tree is boring and at least with AI, doesn’t bring historical results as well as it should, while alt-history options are about as fun as watching paint dry. Considering how important Japan was for the war as whole, it’s impossible to see it as anything but the most grossly neglected major in the entire game.
- Turkey is a slow, bloated mess of focus tree that is simply unfun to play through and by the time you get your internal stuff fixed, the war is already de facto over. Still, I don’t believe that it would require a full rework, just some streamlining through removal of some of the most pointless focuses and 70d -> 35d completion time changes. And hey, it’s not like Turkey is as important as something like Japan in the context of HoI 4.
