IMO Not a single significant bugfix for the vanilla hoi4 NO DLC peasants. Just "fixing/finishing" stuff they sold seperatly. its tiresome caring at all about this game

Heavily disagree on the light tank change. They were already outclassed by medium tanks in every way. Even in bad terrain.

I've long been of the opinion that light tanks and medium tanks should just be less and more advanced types of the same kind of chassis. So you'd effectively just have "tank" and "heavy tank" - there'd be no specific "light tank" or "medium tank". The 1933 and 1936 "tank" chassis could effectively be light tank chassis, then the 1938 and later "tank" chassis would all effectively be medium tank chassis.

Advantages to this approach would be:

  • Much less awkward to go from early game light tank divisions to medium tank divisions - you just build medium tanks and they'll fill out your light tank divisions. This would be great for newer players and the AI, as well as less tedious for established players.
  • Models reality closer - light tanks were obsolete fairly early in the war and stopped being made for the most part.
  • It would necessitate the elimination of the weird "60 light tanks go in a light tank battalion, but 50 medium tanks go in a medium tank battalion" rule, which makes tank designing around light tanks strange.

Yeah that'd work. It's odd that a light tank battalion requires more tanks than a med one tho.
