What do "we" wait for?

No, it's not as confusing as it might seem at first.

It's good it's just that it could be even better and I'm confident that it will improve with the next patches.

Anyone knows when the next patch is coming out?

No, they are working on it right now though and next week the DDs will return too (source).

I am 13 hours into this game. Played Germany, Italy, Romania and Brazil.... and parts of it still baffel me.
If you want to learn this game you need two things:
1) TIME
2) Like to Read a lot of text. Wiki blogs, Steam forums, etc...

I have had to invest a lot of energy into this just to get an idea of what is happening or why nothing is happening.

It's incredibly complicated, it's exactly how Flashover said, a complex game that needs time and patience in order to get, I actually didn't purchase it because of that reason, just kinda forgot about it.

Get Civ 6 instead, people are going to kill me for saying this, mostly for saying this in this forum, but just get it, Civ 6 it's a lot more simpler and a lot more self-explanatory, might not be as satisfying to play once you've learned it, but... Meh.

Hm, I guess it depends on what HoI4 is compared to. Compared to HoI3, CK2 and EU4 it's quite simple (though not bad) I'd say. Compared to other games it might indeed be quite complex and complicated.

PS: Personally I previously played Civ V and after I started with EU4 and HoI4 I never went back to Civ. But we are all different and therefore your milage may vary.

Very very complicated and frustrating. I jumped into the HOI games with HOI4 and I cant even figure out how to do basic things like naval invasions, making divisions, increasing manpower, executing attacks on land (my divisions usually just sit on the border doing nothing), and how air and navy works despite playing the tutorial, watching lots of videos, and playing the easiest factions. I don't have civ 6, but I would recommend getting it more. It looks great and civ 5 is one of my favorite games. I will consider buying HOI5 if it's more friendly to new players though.

Game works great. Also anything that is great needs time to learn, if you can master it in an hour, it isnt much of a game :P
