I am curious on what the biggest issues are. Why don't you post your five (less is ok) biggest issues/concerns with HoI3 and let me know?

Please skip the super stack issue, that is being looked at as I write.
The flag thing is fixed for 1.4, so skip that as well.

Please be detailed! If you have an issue with the AI, I would really like to hear exactly what aspect of it that bothers you the most. If you just say "it's broken", that will not help us fix it. If someone already posted your issue/issues, please post them anyway so I can tell how common they are.

What an awesome thread this became!
Thank you soo much for all you input, this was exactly what I wanted!
Everyone has been very constructive and detailed, and even though you explained what you dislike most, I really appreciated reading through it all.

I will start to compile a list of the issues now, and we will discuss these things internally. I can't promise what will be in future patches of course, but now we know a whole lot more what many of you would want, and we do care.

Feel free to add more to this thread, I will read it. The list will be based mostly on the answers above this post though.
We have to start discussing it before the thread has died I suspect. :)

1) AI
It is bad. Really, really bad. And unlike HoI2 where it was some kind of challenge to win as GER, even very hard on HoI3 is a cakewalk. I basicly stopped playing after I was able to steamroll germany with canada. What else should I do? Play Tibet and annex China? Nope, no challenge at all. That aside countries need a specific AI to behave semi-historic. It is okay if I see New Zealand join the axis, but they should have a proper plan how to assist the axis...

2) Performance
The game performance is still poor. I have lag in almost all interface windows, I have 10-30 sec standstill when opening the leader menu. After 1941 the game crawls and stutters. I am used to poor performance, but when you have to wait 2-3 seconds after each click, it is not funny, esp. for a micro intensive game like HoI3.

3) Balancing
The balancing is rather bad. A lot of techs are completly useless, while others are completly overpowered. Same for units - ENG serve no purpose, MP is useless due to minimal RR. Subs have been overnerfed and are useless, convoys are too cheap.

4) Supply network
It is better than before, but it still breaks down in certain situations. Supplies should be re-routed to easy network pressure, ports should always support your network. It makes no sense that supplies for africa are going over land once I have a land connection to my capital via Istanbul. I have ports! USE THEM! Please! *cries* Why can't I move supplies through allied territory? Etc. etc. I know a lot of this stuff is engine related, but if the supply system doesn't work properly, it hurts the game. Badly.

5) Weather
Again, better than in 1.0, but still feels awkward and unnatural. Although it could be worse.

I'm going to terminate this thread now (or close it at least).
I want to be able to read it all, so I can't have it go on forever.

I really appreciate all your replies, and we have discussed many of them here in the office. Not all will be in the next patch of course, since we want to release it sometime, but some will.

So thank you all, you have been a great help!
