Its is still a joke after three expansions and numberous updates. More complexity doesnt mean more difficult game, it just matters how well it is done and HoI3 is on ass-level. Like I have no idea if this game breaking bug is ever fixed or will be:

HoI3 is really ugly retarded child. Paradox modding policy made it even worse, thought it has never been so open like in civ4 and thats why it is still very popular. HoI3 has even less mods than HoI2.
Thats why better if paradox simply forgets this awfull game serie. It is really so badly done that even person like me who owns eu2, eu3, eu4, riccy, hoi2 and ck2 refuses to touch it. Telling "IMHO HoI3 is a great game" is not simply true. You may enjoy it, but simply vast majority gives a sad nod and says nothing.
