I get that some players may even enjoy the new changes. To be fair, I recognize that there are probably ways to mitigate the aggravation of these new complexities. Now, my navy is near defeat by early 1943. Isoroku Yamamoto's navy by mid-1943 and corral Japan to the mainland by late 1943. Also, reserve fleets: They seem to absorb the main battle force even when the ships are needed for the front line. The ships now seem to inevitably dissipate into various naval bases and sit there. Want to send 200 warships into a Pacific Fleet under Adm. The game will now split all your ships into random task forces. Want to send a massed fleet to contest Nazi U-Boat hunter groups in the mid-Atlantic? Forget it. Where 'Hearts of Iron 4' previously allowed players to deploy warships to fleet commands, home bases, and areas of operation, it now requires players to manage a tedious, confusing task force system. Paradox has made that most egregious of errors in this area: breaking something that was fixed. The problem? Changes made to the game's naval system. Actually, the game lets you play as just about any world leader from the time. Centered on grand strategy in World War II, the game offered history buffs a chance to take on the role of Winston Churchill or Franklin Roosevelt or even Adolf Hitler or Josef Stalin. Paradox Interactive's 'Hearts of Iron 4' used to be an exceptional game.
