hoi3 vs 4

[kronos]

dlcs are less expensive to buy as a bundle for this game, is there a major difference between the two?

HOI4 is a cartoon, HOI3 is live action with a broken supply system.

Paradox should sell HOI3 license to matrix/Siltherine and let them fix and further develop this gem.

I love HOI 2 and 3 but HOI 4 is much better.

[Fisherman]

It comes down to what you're looking for HOI4 is good, but HOI3 is much deeper. Really all depends on what you're looking for.

[gmsh1964]

I am not arguing, but why are you saying HOI 3 is deeper? Can you give an example or two? Thanks

I use HOI3 with Blackice. I like the OOB system, even though you have to take the time to learn it. In HOI4 as Italy you can send entire entire army to Ethiopia no problem. Select all send to port and ship off to Africa no problem.

In HOI3 Black ice you have to find and allocate transports fleet/ships and then load troops onto transports making sure the load capacity of transports is enough to load said units if you want to reinforce the conquest of Ethiopia.

I've seen in HOI4 in 1941 the AI making amphibious landings larger than D-day. In fact the base size of units that can conduct amphibious landing is 10.

Historically there was always a shortage of specialized amphibious landing craft that had to be allocated between Europe and Asia and within Europe and Asia there was huge arguments between the Med and France as well as in Pacific you had Central Pacific/ the move up from the Solomons and Burma theater.

As far as BICE, HOI 4 also has BICE and its intense. Not sure I see what the rest of your post has anything to do with complexity, but thank you for responding and providing your opinion.

Yes both have pros and cons although I do love the Railway and fuel systems from Hoi 4 but I do hate how nations can have unrealistic amounts of troops in undeveloped areas. In hoi 4 the other day as japan I was facing 50 Allied divisions in the Dutch East Indies 3 of which were from ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ Mexico lol.

The Order of Battle or command structure is better in 3. Which makes a huge difference on enjoying the game. IF 4 had 3's command structure it would get my vote for being the more enjoyable game.

I haven't played either in 5 years but I plan to start up 4 again soon. I have 620 hours with 3 and around 40 hours with 4.

4 has nicer graphics and better unit production.

Please and please forgive me.

Can Hoi5 have polar regions?

during play while scrolling map the player should be able to say go from Russia to Canada or Argentina to India. Under harsh conditions. Im betting many expeditions would perish under weather conditions alone.

Forgive me for robing this post.

Are there rules and exceptions to robing post?
