Hearts of Iron 4 announced

I liked that dev diary.

However, while I understand the reason why the design goal is to Germany always beat the USSR on its own by 1945, the history nerf in me cringes a little at the ahistorical modeling.

I should get back into this, but I’m wondering if I should wait for the next expansion first (won’t be able to play continually, so with Paradox games I do yearly or biannual sampling’s for a week or two before letting them change till the next round).
