Especially when you're moving at 1 province per attack. Having to click each and every divison to move forward is tedious as FUCK. I LIKE WW1 FRONT WARFARE! (Don't judge me). But then I know at least which PART of the plan screwed up and don't ahve to second guess if I should've sent Himmler to Petersburg, or infantry forces through the north etc. And if it can't do that, well then you are kinda screwed. You can plan beforehand how your army should move.
Instead of HoI3's (newbie) "let's see if I have enough units to win" then not having enough units to even push through and having the enemy slip and murder you because of gaps, HoI4 lets you at least estimate the army needed for such an operation. In HoI4, you will be able to SEE where which units will be going, can decide how many units will go to which province, where and in what number. Perhaps because of a single tank in the middle of my infatry (this is an intentional overexageration) while my tanks are preoccupied further up north. If I wanted to form a truly cohesive plan, I'd have to go beyond simply managing my OOB and go to counting provinces, checking for forts, rivers yada yada on teh way.Īnd then my grand plan would be ruined. Peacetime deployments were for me basically "a few here, a few there, I guess this area could use na extra one". And before you know it your OOB is looking like a spider apartment complex. And then you allocate the next nearest division to the gap. You can build armies constantly, assign divisions to whichever province you desired, but when you were at war, you would need to send divisions to help spearhead a few annoying tanks that were well entrenched, even though a few days later you might need them to be able to push a coherent front. How far ahead were you able to plan in HoI3? Let's look at this from another perspective:
HoI4 is argued to basically be drawing lines where you want them. A lot of people are getting frustrated that HoI4 combat consists of drawing lines and that HoI3s system is better, as it allows for very specific actions without penalty.
