"new Player Backstory feature added"
What does this feature mean and do?

Gamewise, the PE is a combination of Panzer Division Lehr and some SS units, neither of which were deployed in Afrika

Cherbourg, Calais and possibly some other major French ports didn't have a naval base and i couldn't build one, it was greyed out as if it wasn't on the coast (couldn't build coastal batteries or beach defences either). I was playing as Germany.
I thought this was a bad install, but now i see Barcelona port fixed, maybe the same issue?

Also, historically speaking the UK and France didn't allow Poland in the Allies, they guaranteed its independance and declared war two days after the German invasion, all the while demanding Germany retreat from all Polish territory. Could this be incorperated ingame? (With a chance the German AI goes soft and doesn't invade Poland rather than the current certain declaration of war?)

I jumped from 7.5 to this patch and i don't see it in the changelog of either 8.0 or 8.1, so i'll ask.
What am i supposed to do with the trucks and other land transport units? Can they transport regular infantry? Can they drive supplies to remote locations?

Weird. You could try rebooting your pc.
If that doesn't help, have steam verify your game files.
(Right-click on game, Properties, Local Files and then hit Verify Integrity of Game Cache, steam will check the files.)

Common steam problem, just exit steam completely and restart it, that usually fixes it.

By the way, what code language is used in HOI3 and BICE?

Ah thank you.
I was not aware that AUX could do invasions.

The paradox forums.
You'll need to register your HOI3 and TFH there.

No problem :)

I think there's a small chance that if some parties (pro-german ones, mainly) get a lot of power in Czechoslovakia, the AI can choose to join Germany rather than cede land. There's also a small chance that they'll go to war with you, but either don't happen a lot.

The problem with this is, you need Naval Underway Replenishment, a difficulty 10 1941 research.

So pre-1941 invasions (Japan on china, Operation Weserübung, Operation Seelöwe, etc) can't be done by the player.
Maybe you should fix that?

You can use your Annual Espionage bonus towards lowering your neutrality.
What might also help is using spies to higher an enemy's (In your case France or the UK) threat level.

If that doesn't work, you can still use the cheat 'noneutrality' (in the in-game command line) to set your neutrality to 0. Note that that makes it very easy to declare war on you as well.

Thank you so much!

It's a zip file. You have to unzip it first (using winzip, 7zip or similar) There's a .exe file inside.

That can help a lot, yes.
As you've said, maybe the enemy has a good Navy Patrol air force. That would depend on your opponent and the year you're in.(As some allied nations get better at fighting subs mid- to late war for historical reasons)

And again, if you can you should try to hit their air bases, to try to gain air superiority.

Hm. Maybe you could try keeping your subs small?
You mentioned you upgraded them completely, what if you don't upgrade the research that also increases visibility (Hull i think, not entirely sure)

How large are the fleets you're using? The larger the fleet, the higher the visibility. Hunting in fleets of 3 subs usually works best.

upgrade them if you haven't done that yet.
Try to cover the area with interceptors, and if the enemy has no navy, send fleets with carriers and AAA cruisers.

Attacking enemies that have fighter protection. Fighter bombers aren't as good in bombing as CAS but can protect themselves better. They might also be more manouverable and thus have better protection against AA, but i'm not sure about that.
But if you have a lot of fighters/air superiority you don't really need them, which is why i rarely use them.

I mostly use wings of 9 interceptors when attacking enemies, wings of 3 when intercepting bombing runs. Best is to try to use TAC bombers (or heavy if you have those) to bomb enemy air bases. It'll reduce their repair rate and will damage aircraft on the ground.
As has been said by Panzeroo before, BICE has much larger air groups. You really need to spam aircraft. Regardless of research, if there's 2 planes on your back for every one that you're after, you're not going to get far.Especially the UK AI spams air wings like crazy.

You have to link both HOI3 itself as well as HOI3 Their Finest Hour

You trade off strength against costs. Germany can afford to research all the increase techs, but a country like Luxembourg is better off with smaller units as they cost less supplies (might also cost less IC and building time, can't say for sure)

I absolutely love what you guys have been doing, keep up the great work!
You forgot to add the fact you if you play as germany, you can make the KPD (Kommunistische Partei Deutschland, the German Communist Party) a puppet in the changelog. Same goes for DDR and Weimar Republic.

+what code language is used? Java?
+Love the new artwork

You can use covert ops points to lower neutrality. It'll cost you ten covert ops points, then select their capital and click on the cover ops missions button-thing

They ought to wave a massive wehrmacht flag from the turret. In low light situations and at long ranges, beute t-34s returning to base often got shot at by friendly AT guns, who mistook them for soviet ones.

V 1.0 taken down?

Won't be. CoH2 allows mods to be downloaded from the workshop. A basic BK-mod is already up, by WolfCZ

"****** coh2 but it's coh1" can be percieved as "it's a ****** copy of coh2", and the complement can be percieved as sarcasm.

Works on pirate
shhh
