Thanks from me to the Dev-Team too. That War-Effort-Patches are a great Step forward. Keep up the good work.

That this is the Final Patch of that Effort sounds sad, but seems nessecary to bring the remaining Rework / Repairs and important Upgrades in the big one for the next DLC-Integration.

What we have seen already in an big Annoucnement is something, what we had in Hoi 2 and 3 already and the Community whished to get in again. That gives Hoi 4 an another big Upgrade to bring it on an new Level like the Ship- / Airforce- / Tank- Truck- and Halftrack-Buildup brought already in with some other cool missing Stuff in the older DLCs.

And the BoP / upgraded Focusses (to integrate BoP from the last DLC and the other cool Stuff what in NSB come in) and the cool announced other reintegration sounds very cool. Can´t wait to play the newest Version incl. DLC either this or next Year.

What we have seen already in an big Annoucnement is something, what we had in Hoi 2 already and the Community whished to get that in again. That next important Step forward bring Hoi 4 on an new Level.

The already done reintegration from the Spy-Agency (which is expandable here & there), the Decissions (reintegrated from Hoi 2), the self-designing from Warships, Tanks and Airforce (reintegrated from Hoi 2 and in some Parts from Hoi 3 with important Rework / Refit), the Decissions (reintegrated from Hoi 2) and other medium / smaller Things I have not in Mind yet, are and were big Steps forward in the Development the last Years. The 2016 come up Base-Game were therefore totaly unplayable.

What Hoi 4 brought in and gives the Player more liberty are the Focus-Trees, which bring in historical Focus (like we had in Hoi 1 to 3 already for every playable Country) and 3 to 4 a-historical Parts (Democratic, Nationalist, Communist, Monarch), which get with every DLC more interesting Features (like playing other asiatic Countrys, middle American Countrys, smaller european Countrys and so on with new Features from the more advanced DLCs from the 1.10-Version on with f. e. BoP / Adjustments to the seperate Countrys like in Poland).

Btw. Poland is with the Problematic it had real is an very good example. It was circled from Germany and the Sowjetunion. In an Book I read the history of Poland is in a nutshell and that get integrated in the ingame Focus-Tree. That get in other Form done for the Sowjet, Spain, Mexican and other Focus Trees too. Here and there all Focus-Trees need an smooth & polish with the BoP-Integration and flexibility in some historical Things (like first the Z-Plan and then the U-Boat-Effort for Germany), but all in all they are very good.

The BoP / upgraded Focusses (to integrate BoP from the last DLC and the other cool Stuff what in NSB come in) and the cool announced other reintegration sounds very cool. Can´t wait to play the newest Version incl. DLC either this or next Year.

Yeah, let´s see what other cool surprises the Dev-Team bring in in the big refited Main-Version and the upcomming DLC. One is clear, we get an cool whished Feature with important Reft from Hoi 2 back again (the R & D-Manufacturers with more flexibility).

Is the final operation Stella Polaris?

Turkish language support please

Operation Stay Puft, clearly.

Kaiserreich UK, here I come!

I hope the war effort patches will recommence. There are still a lot of small bugs in the game from the past which need fixing. Thanks a lot for the good work guys!

With all of the names of the war effort operations. You can potentially get a phrase. Could just be me reaching for something that isn't relevant.

"Operation Stella Polaris was the cover name for an operation in which Finnish signals intelligence records, equipment and personnel were transported to Sweden in late September 1944 after the end of combat on the Finnish-Soviet front in the Second World War"

Do you mean future content? Feature content seems to be saying the same thing twice. Or do you referencing features of the dev corners?
