Generals!We are back with our latest War Effort patch of the year, which contains a bunch of bugfixes, some balance changes, and tweaks to the game. But before we get to that, we have some words from @WrongwraithHi everyone,
I’m Thomas, the Design Lead on Hearts of Iron.

It’s time for another War Effort, and it’s a big one.

Our primary focus for this War effort has been bug fixing — we’ve addressed a wide range of issues across the game to improve stability and polish. However, we’re not just fixing bugs; we’re also delivering balance tweaks, gameplay adjustments, and other enhancements.

This time around, from a balancing point of view, we’ve mainly looked at Armored Cars and Tanks. The reasoning behind this is that we felt that, as many of you have pointed out, it was usually better to make a cheap light tank than to use Armored Cars. While this is not entirely wrong from a historical point of view, it was a bit too much.

Dear fans,Today's Patch for Operation Knee marks the second release in a series of updates that we are doing to improve the game. Next week we aim to release the War Effort patch, which as Arheo said previously will be more substantial than usual.I also want to take this opportunity to circle back to a few topics that Arheo brought up last week, as well as start providing a few glimpses into the short- and long-term future. Conclusion of the Expansion Pass Next up in this pass is the Prototype Vehicles Unit Pack which adds vehicles that are more experimental in nature. Some will be available right away while others you will need to unlock through special projects. The unit pack continues to expand on the cool, detailed art we have in the game already, however it will not feature new in-game functionality. Dev Corners Return One important take-away from the development of all the content in this Expansion Pass is the need to better and earlier involve you, our community. Our Dev Diaries... Read more

Chain of Command: Devs vs. the HOI4 Community: 1800-2000 CEST, 10/11/12 June Everything you need to know
Tomorrow at 1800-2000 will be the first session of a special kind of Three Day War: It's the Devs vs. the Hearts of Iron IV community at large, spearheaded by four content creators. Each team will be playing entirely within one nation: Imperial Germany for the Devs, and Democratic Britain for the Community team. We've taken the 'democratic' element literally, electing a Virtual 'House of Commons' from across the HOI community to vote on and discuss the strategy for the UK. Some actions will be decided by what the house wants, not just the four players. Read on below to find out about what the 'Virtual House of Commons' has been up to in preparation for the event. There will be a two-hour session of the event streamed each day from June 10th - June 12, live over on our Twitch channel. https://www.twitch.tv/paradoxinteractive Make sure you sent a reminder on the right of this page so ...
