And that if you went for nukes, they arrived on the same day, every single game no matter what. Since its just a matter of research point accumulation. If you find the most efficient path too them, they will always arrive predictably on the same day, every game, for the end of time.



Unless other nations can have some sort of influence over how long it takes someone to get nukes...the 1944-1945+ gameplay will be just as monotonous as the previous titles, or youre house ruling "NO NUKES!" every game.



Not to mention theyre not even remotely fun to use.



They just kill troops and destroy province improvements. Manpower and resources are fine apparently. No one cares that you use them. Theres no radiation to deal with. No international backlash. You wipe out every living soul in Asia and the UK will still be the US's ally. Your own people dont get upset. Its really a hollow experience and I dont even know why the nukes are in the game at all.



There were only two of them in the war.



There were two Railroad guns too, I doubt those will be included.



Nukes are seriously a really hollow game device, and made even more hollow, by the fact that theres nothing to them other than erasing stacks of units.



Which is not how anyone ever used them, or would use them. Thats ridiculous. It was with years of speculation, and heavy, heavy hearts that they were even used at all, to prevent a specific thing.



In Hearts of Iron, dropping a nuke is like omgsocasualfun that you do to lulztroll your opponent, or when you get bored in single player. Theres no emotional connection to it, and it doesnt even fit the time line. The whole reason the US nuked the cities it did, was because thats where teh Japanese synthetic industry was. They werent trying to obliterate the Japanese, or even destroy their leadership, they just wanted them to surrender without losing millions of lives in an invasion, and to prevent a soviet invasion.



That entire dynamic will be lost on "omg I Nuked London! now I win!"



Yeah thats not how that works...smh.



Glad to see at least theyll be restrained. Hopefully.
