To answer your question from a numerical point of view though, the demand for DAIM is roughly the same before and after 1.3b: We crossed the mark of 1000 downloads of the actual version in less than 4 weeks after release, this is the same number as usual.

Whether you prefer DAIM or the standard AI is mainly a matter of taste nowadays, as most of the perceived weaknesses of the early AI versions aren't there anymore. But neither we've heard about people frustrated with the DAIM AIs nor do the poll results suggest we're doing a bad or useless job. :)

If you're unsure about it, just give it a try! It's easy to install and uninstall, and you'll notice the differences and can then decide for yourself.
 
HOI2 1.3b +latest 20060107 DAIM (without modified events) I can't play to end any of my games. About 1940 game always crashes and I can do nothing with that.

I can send email with my latest save. After how Allies declared war on me game is over. In every of my games becomes time when game crashes.
I can't send it to Paradox becouse I play it with DAIM. Please help me.
Is the vanilla buggy or DAIM ?

Ok, here is my experience with Daim and 1.3b:
Russia had 600 divisions in 1941 + 80 aircrafts. Most of it where mere infantry, they didn't build motorized infantry or tanks. The number of units makes them almost unbeatable on VH. But I like it ;) What I don't like is that due to the enormous number of units the unitnames are the common ones, e.g. "1. infantry division". This takes a lot atmossphere away. It would be great if Daim also included a modified unitnames.csv.
America had over 300 divisions in 1941, which is a bit unrealistic, because they weren't even at war.
China lost against Japan every time (!) and was annexed in 1938/39. They should be stronger.
Italy does not build transports? They get kicked out of africa because they are incapable to land new troops there, although they have 80 divisions sitting in Rome.
France, England and Poland are ok. Invading France and England was quite a fight.
Over all, it works fine and I wouldn't want to miss it. Good work!
 
In my games Japan always routs china one way or another. Though i do like the dragon event but when japan allies with germany and china says unite against USSR it brings sinking against russia and isn't japan not supposed to declare war on Russia? To historically balance this i make them accept a white peace as japan.
For the thing about italy not sending transports. In my game italy sent 80percent of its men to italy. After a couple of encirclments they had about 8 divisions left on italy. This led to a nice excelerated end to the war.
