That sucks! I don't understand why the weather state is so hard to share from the server to the clients...
the exp. bug is also there. Plus the fact that US war entry drops when Japan (axis) takes over parts of the allies like india...

I haven't heard any 
. The weather desynch bug doesn't happen all the time I believe, so that is some improvement. Still, it really hampers MP play, especially if your host is in the opposing Alliance and you have to keep asking him for the weather ...
I had a situation last game, where I tried to overcome Panama in order to annex them and use them as a base to attack the USA. Unfortunately, it turned out it rained in Panama, and my 6 superduper Japanese marines with art attachments (fighting at 1% with -150% logistics penalty - I would really really like to see the logistics penalty capped at some value less than 100% as it makes the Pacific War a joke) and overwhelming air support (8 improved tac bombers) could do nothing against the measly 1 crap Panamian division in the jungle. Still, it would have worked I think had it not been for the weather desynch ...
Of course, I couldn't check the host for the weather because it was a sneak attack and the host was in the Allies ...

Actually I take this anecdote as proof positive the logistics penalty is working correctly.boromir said:
It's purpose (in part) is to discourage wildly improbable long-distance invasions.
Without it, the Pacific war is a joke: no need to island hop at all, just land 24 marines in Japan and overrun the home islands in 1941...
Anyway the weather desync bug is pretty annoying! Let's hope it eventually goes away completely

I disagree. If I take the closest Jap island to the NA continent and launch an invasion and get -150% penalty, I become pretty harmless to the USA. So the USA can now ignore the Pacific War completely and go for Germany. This is what happened in my last few MP games. USA withdrew from the Pacific completely, Japan couldn't do much about it ...
So while the logistics penalty should not allow for wild invasions it should force island hopping. Right now it makes island hopping impossible for the Japanese at least. So it makes the Pacific war as big a joke as it was before ...
Very bad for MP gameplay.
