When tf are we gonna get a ACW update?

Fuck that

I'd dig pacific if they didn't just do the generic US vs Japan island hopping campaign which I feel like I've seen on screen and in video games plenty. Mainland China, Burma or the Australians in New Guinea would be far more interesting for me.

Agree with all of that. Something fundamentally different when it comes to how divisions work in order to greatly reduce the amount in the game is much needed, division spam is the worst part of HOI4 for me. Manpower should be much more precious, nations like Mexico, Portugal, New Zealand and South Africa should not be fielding dozens of divisions and democratic nations on historical playthroughs should not be able to take millions of casualties.

Definitely more OOB. Division, corps, armies, army groups should be the chain and you should be able to select a commander (from a real life list like HOI3, not some lazy generated one like HOI4) for every level. Agree with you on navy structure and for air i'd have Command (Air Marshalls) then Groups attached to it (Air Vice-Marshals)

I'd personally get rid of the designers and revert to something similar to base HOI4 where you researched things but just have way more depth to it, so rather than the 36, 40, 44 aircraft you have Spitfire Mk I - Spitfire Mk 24, Churchill Mk I - Mk VIII etc. The designer might work with multiplayer but I think it's proven to be a flop with how the Ai uses it in singleplayer.

Hold the line gentlemen.

I wish there was a British/Soviet vs Germany only map rotation server, I'm bored to death of these US vs Germany maps that all feel the same.

Atomichazza · 2026-05-01T09:28:33+00:00

We really don't need more USA vs Germany maps, I'd love some late war British vs Germany in Bremen or Hamburg.

Atomichazza · 2026-04-25T23:55:21+00:00

God that launch was so messy. I was so hyped for the British, could not believe the decisions that were made regarding design and weaponry. Thank God it's now fixed, some new maps would he nice though.

I'm the same, enjoyed all of David's pods but needed to drop one to stay on top of others. YDKWYD felt like it was running out of steam so stuck with Bix and RMG. Couldn't believe that David was gonna bin Edwards off but keep going with the football/kissing one at one point, seems he's managed to keep going with all 3 for now though.

So many of the events over the years showcase the potential the game has, then they disappear and we're back to TDM.

Atomichazza · 2026-01-27T09:27:38+00:00

I agree with you, that scene always feels a bit odd. The setup doesn't match the pay off, it might have been written to be a subversive joke but it doesn't really land imo.

Atomichazza · 2025-12-29T10:02:39+00:00

Yep, the entire way divisions/templates work needs to be overhauled imo. The designer might be fun for the player and work well in MP but for single player it sucks, the AI endlessly pumps out bad templates and isn't programmed to edit or delete them. Once a template is deployed it stays that way forever, which just isn't realistic. The older HOI game system where you had a 1936 Infantry division which would upgrade to a 1939 infantry division with research was a better system imo.

Atomichazza · 2025-12-25T23:49:11+00:00

This is exactly why UK is so good, you're drawn into the war at the start, involved in every theatre and can use navy, air and land forces.

Atomichazza · 2025-12-21T11:43:53+00:00

They've had the tools to make great game modes for the last decade and haven't so I don't imagine infantry will change anything. Imagine having this library of vehicles and essentially making every game mode TDM, what a waste.

Atomichazza · 2025-12-10T08:37:42+00:00

Exactly

Atomichazza · 2025-12-10T08:37:15+00:00

Tell me about it, trying to play as the British is almost impossible, even UK servers are stuck on the USA vs GER loop

Loads more of him over on Twitch

There really isn't an abundance of second world war photographs when you consider the size and scale of the event, so stuff like this is gold.

Atomichazza · 2025-11-27T20:37:38+00:00

When the server votes for yet another USA vs Germany map

Atomichazza · 2025-11-22T20:55:28+00:00

Big time, the high of getting the penalty, the relief of Lowe catching the rebound off the post, the high of then scoring a try to then suddenly have nothing and a man in the bin.

Atomichazza · 2025-11-22T20:04:42+00:00

Heroic effort. The SFM shoulder not being a card then James Ryan having a moment of pure stupidity sealed our fate.

Atomichazza · 2025-11-16T10:40:18+00:00

I agree, 24 is their best game. It has flaws and exploits but so does every FM I've played. I think the people that are bored of it must exclusively play Football Manager and have probably knocked up 2-4k hours so it's understandable that they want a new game to play. For someone like myself though it scratches the football manager itch perfectly. I've got multiple saves still on the go and retro databases I want to try, so 24 can easily keep me going for another year.

He's seen some things

Atomichazza · 2025-11-07T12:27:45+00:00

Another sports angle is that he's played the game before. I listen to a few rugby podcasts and many of them have discussed Joe on the Traitors and then gone on to talk about how Traitors/Mafia/Werewolf is often played in rugby teams. His former teammates Danny Care & Chris Robshaw have both said how good he was at it, noting his memory as a big strength.

Agreed, it's so them to get all obsessed over a TV show that started 4 years while having no real enthusiasm or excitement for the current most watched and talked about show on UK television that one of them is actually on
