Great, thanks! I always thought myself that province AA was much too cheap ;)

Great Work and thanks for the new version!

I noticed two issues:

First, the event-built heavy artillery/railway guns got no soft attack at all, but strong AA instead. This should be swapped maybe?

And second: Is it right, that province AA now costs an enormous amount of IC? I started as Germany and it's about 20.something IC points for one AA per province. It's imposssible to build a decent air defense :(

Keep on the good work!

First, this mod is great! BUT...

This sounds maybe a bit noobish, but i rally have no clue how to beat Japanese navy playing USA.

The main problem is the New Deal Effect, preventing USA from proper research until the War Breaks out.

I'm in late 1942 and have built up a fleet of about 14 BBs, 12 CV, around 14-16 CVLs and a whole bunch of DDs and light cruisers. All separated into small fleets around 12 Ships so that i won't have much positioning penalty. Although USA suffered from the New Deal Effect, important fleet tech's and the CAG techs are nearly up to date (1939 and 1941 researched in 1942!)
now, every time i get attacked by the Japanese Navy (Guam. Midway etc.), my fleets get absolutely slaughtered.
For example, I fought with two Carrier task forces (2 CV, 2 CVLs rest DDs and light cruisers) and two battleship fleets against a japanese fleet with only half the size, and they instantly sunk more than half of my fleet, including ALL big ships.
This happened several times, so i used a console command to play Japan. What did i see? ALL of the Japanese Fleet techs, Air techs and Land techs were about state of 1943-1945. Most ship techs also were that high...

I play on normal difficulty, with all difficulty events at the beginning also set to "normal".

I have no hope to get nearly up to date to Japanese technology early enough, to save Hawaii. Also, because I concentrated on Naval and Air Force (CAG) technologies in the early state of the Game (annoying New Deal Effect) i neither have proper Land strategy techs, nor are the Land techs nearly up to date (all at 1939 or lower)

All in all i think, thar the New Deal Effect is MUCH too strong, OR the AI research is somehow faster and more efficient than in HOI3 vanilla. IMHO it should end, when war in Europe breaks out, and be decreased when Germany expands and swallows Austria and the Czech Republic...
