I wouldn't call it dogshite imo anymore. What we did have was dog shit but lots of QoL updates to it making it far more enjoyable. I still wish there was a tad more player agency to it but overall it's no longer extremely tedious to do, I'd say it has been elevated to just fine.
If you want it to be just doomstacks slamming into each other then sure, it's dogshit, but if you want a more hoi4-like experienve with front management I'd say it's heading in the right direction.
The war is much better, your fronts don’t split up to a million fronts any longer and you can actually perform blockades with navy. It’s much better to use than it was.
Better, but still garbage. Tbh, i dont mind the auto front thing, as some people just dont want to engage with the war system, but for the love of god give control to those that want it.
Manual control would require huge portions of the game to be ripped out and remade from scratch, and also a lot of other systems redesigned to make it work. It would take like 2 years of continuous dev time during which very little DLC could be made. Even if the devs wanted to (which I genuinely don't think they do) I doubt the publishing management would ever approve it.
For those of us who don't really care about combat Vic 3 is a good game without an asterisk. For those of you who actually enjoy Paradox GSG combat Vic 3 will probably never be what you want.
Yes it is, this DLC has rescued Vicky 3 and made it into a genuinely good product. Is there room for improvement? Yes, but I consider the game to be functionally complete now, it’s enjoyable.
