  1. Another essential DLC for the serious HOI4 fan

    With the countless hours I've spent playing Hearts of Iron IV, I've come to appreciate the value that DLC can bring in enhancing and refreshing the experience. This particular DLC introduces several noteworthy features that significantly elevate the game.

    The main attractions are the renewed national focus trees for Italy, Ethiopia, and Switzerland. These new focus trees offer unique playstyles and historical and alternate history paths for each nation, making the DLC an essential addition if you're interested in any of these countries.

    However, the standout feature of the DLC is the aircraft designer. Building on the success of the ship and tank designers from previous DLCs, the aircraft designer allows you to customize your aircraft to meet specific strategic needs. This addition encourages a fresh approach to research paths as you explore new aircraft components and design options.

    In addition to these key features, the DLC introduces other enhancements such as unit medals that provide bonuses to specific divisions, new peace conference options, and additional music tracks that add to the immersive atmosphere.

    Overall, this DLC is a must-have for serious Hearts of Iron IV fans. If you're committed to mastering Hearts of Iron IV, this DLC is essential to your collection.
