Justify war goals suck!

[Pudman]

So I'm playing as Germany and I've conquered Britain, Canada, USA, France, Italy, USSR, the rest of Europe and Africa and yet I still need to stuff around jusifying to declare war on everyone else. I rule more than half the world! I should be able to not bother having to fake a reason for more war. Especially since there is pretty much no one left to oppose me.
Once the war score gets to something like 100% there should no longer be a need for fascist and communist states justify its goals and should be able to declare war.

I don't know what some people may have told you but this game is not a world conquest sim. this is a WW2 sim, and the devs designed it rather minimally to be that way. the only major way to "win" is to either capitulate the Allies including America and the Commitern, or you can sit on your ass building strategic bombers and make first place because of it.

The game mechanics allow for me to do it so it is still very much a plausible objective. Besides, do you think if Germany had conquered everything I have IRL they would have stopped? But I'm not trying to get into a historical argument here all I am trying to say is that once the world is in such a state like my game all other nations should already have the presumption that war is inevitable for them and I shouldn't have to justify each and every nation. Taking 1-3 years to justify Tibet or Tannu Tavu after I've already DOW'd 20 or so other nations seems ridiculous.
I agree when tension is low the mechanic should be there but after it gets to 100% it should be removed.

WW2 sim = world conquest sim

Even power-mad dictators have to do some work. And people tend not to be happy dappy super enthusiastic to go out across the border to kill people and die without some kind of reason. Even in WWII historically Hitler had to create a couple false flag attacks in which SS guys dressed up as Polish troops and executed a few concentration camp inmates to make it look like Poland had attacked the Reich so that he could come to the Greman people with that.

Similar stuff here. It takes time to get a "Party Line" on why the invasion is happening right, get a propaganda campaign going, guesstimate how the public will react, and so on.

Ironman mode, don't have advice for you
Non-Ironman mode, press CTRL ~ and type "AllowDiplo if you really want to not justify and just lash out at everyone every chance you get.

Just chain the justifications, start one while still in war, cost less and will be much faster, at this point you hould be able to do multiple wars easily, so don't stop.

It is practically impossible to follow the Historical events in ANY
game accurately. As soon as you deviate even slightly it will have
a "knock on effect" for the rest of your playthrough. The AI WILL
respond with an action that is NOT Historically accurate and
that's the end of ANY kind of Accuracy. In earlyer Versions,Ie
Hoi 1, 2 and 3 you had a lot more options and the model allowed for
a certain "randomness of actions". HoI4 seems to have been
"dumbed down" from earlyer incarnations of the game, probably so
kids can play it on consoles. A pity really, most of what made
HoI series has either gone or is so diluted it is hardly Hoi anymore.
I compare it ot simple games like "risk" now.
To be clear, it is an OK game, it is quick and easy to play, and the
Ai can be set to do everything for you. This takes away most of the
challange. I mean, there is no "chain of command" anymore.
You just get an officer who controls a handful of units... Period.
Not a bad game, But.... Not really Hoi anymore.
