Whoa, what a suprise! Highlights include
- Coups now have a much bigger chance to actually succeed.

- Larger nations in the same alliance will now take control over provinces as they invade allies occupied overseas territories, to maintain coherent supplied fronts.

- Minister research modifiers for technology is now applied.

- The chance for a Encirclement or Breakthrough will now be happen 10% more often for every 1 km/h over 3 km/h. There is a cap on 40%.
- Units retreating to enemy-controlled territory with enemy units in both
target and source province will now be eliminated.
- Reduced the toughness of more advanced infantry models somewhat.
- Raised the toughness values of the earlier MOT divisions to generally be 2
points above their equivalent regular INF counterparts.
- Softness of MOT & MEC divisions now decreases when models get more advanced.
- Doubled the movement & attack penalties in frozen & mud conditions.
- Supply & fuel usage of brigades is now 40% of the old values.
- Heavy Armor and Super Heavy Armor brigades are now allowed to be attached to INF (if you're stupid enough )
- Manpower requirement for Mountaineers and Marines changed from 10 to 15, like Paras already had (--> elite troops)
- Buildtime for Mountaineers, Marines and Paratroopers increased by 30 days
- Tech difficulty of Mountaineer, Marines and Paratrooper techs increased by 1(5 to 6)
- Edited the Engineer brigade as follows: MP need from 2.0 to 2.5, lowered
their speed bonus from 1 to 0.5 and added a small fuelconsumption of 0.2 to them. This keeps them a very strong brigade but less of a no-brainer.

- Made a full overhaul of CV & CAG balance.

- Only airunits on air-superiority mission will now attempt to engage other
airunits in the same province.
- Increased effect from interdiction by 66%.
- Rewrote targeting algoritms for ground attack and interdiction, to focus on combats as much as possible.


- A puppet now has a max-pool of 1000 instead of 100 in resources.
- Now it is possible to build coastal fort, land fort, anti air, infrastructure, airbase, naval base, radar station, nuclear reactor, rocket test site, and factory in occupied territories.

- Interface: Armies are now sorted by division type.

- Rewrote trade AI to look at last 30 days of income instead of current
situation only.


- Tracked down and fixed a bug which gave fleets perfect positioning after 1 hour.
- Fixed the problem where a convoy from puppet's would never ship the
resources.

- Completely reworked the way Vichy is handled. Vichy now has a ton of events to handle various colonies seceding, Operation Torch, the Vichy surrender and more...
Theres alot more, but this is very good stuff.

Have to get it and replay HOI without the mods I have.

Must say I like Paradox (grand strategy games). Can be somewhat buggy initially, but they do patch them pretty well and you can edit them to a pretty high degee.
