question about CORE/HoI2 patch

[RisingSun]

I read thru so many threads and trying to figured out if it worth playing HoI2 along with latest CORE Mods. Heard fews like it and some are confused due alot of things have changed. Yes i do have Doomday but dont think its ready for maximum effects (alot of things needed to be deduced and fixed proplerly).

So i installed HoI2 and looked at CORE download sections, noticed it said needed HoI2 1.3b patch. So i looked everywhere for that patch and it doesnt exist yet. Only found 1.3a. If there is 1.3b patch plz link it here for me plz.

So im gonna check out this CORE Mods and see how different it may seem. Any players out there have anything to say (good and bad things) plz say it so i can get into it or avoid it.

Looking forward to play this CORE mods...

Hmm i manage to launch the game but it came across something missing so ignore it (CTD). Too bad i gonna have to abort this.

Well i will try again, finally found that 1.3b and it was well hidden for some reason.

When i went looking for CORE Mods (DL section) it wouldnt let me download it so i registered then take a look. Every time i click on that mirror it would throw an ad/popups in my face and never show any DL of that CORE file i was looking for, so has this been hijiked or what??

You can download the Patch from here:

http://www.paradox-games.de/hoi2/download/download.html#

The site is in German, dont know if it will work with the English version of the game, but given that you can change the games language I guess it might work.

(you also need to download the "Winuha" Zip program (1MB) it's the link at the very top, called "Entpacker")

You need to install 1.3a first and then 1.3b.

Edit: Oops, too late.

This was adressed in the Thread "Japanese Naval Doctrines" . two threads below yours.

The 1.3b is the AI enhancement. You can find the official (paradox) one here:

IMO its not in the download section, because the AI enhancement could slow gaming with Minimum-PC-Reqirements significantly.

As mentioned in FX_FXs thread this is a mistake in the V 0.22.
How do I work around this:
Only working with ultraheavy-fleets and doing everything to fight only with carriers:
1. Fleet (Yamamoto) 25 heavy (2 CV3 4 CV5, BBs, BCs, CA) and 25 light (CL7 & DD) 10 TP2 & 2 TP7
2. Fleet (Nagano starting 1940) 15-20 heavys (6CVs, CAs) an 20 light (CL4 & DD) 3-5 TP2

A lot of saving. A reload is ok to rescue not acceptable losses.
Only leave port when at max org and total repaired.

Dont know if this will work against the US-Navy.

Fighting subs with a fleet of 60+ destroyers and follow the subs to destruction.

Lets wait for V 0.3 and improved naval doctrines.
