Im worried that this mechanic (much like the spies mechanic) will be very flavorful but have very little impact on the overall strategy of the game. The debuffs of enacting a raid or the risk of being hit by a wonder weapon like V2 or nukes need to be substantial in order to justify putting so many resources into raids. In other words, why should I put so much in-game and real life effort into a raid rather than just simply invading? The most hopeful part of this for me is the historical raids such as the Doolittle raid giving/reducing war support and XP (which again, need to be substantial)
Spies in general are a bit of a let down, they have been made too fair for everyone so no one has "good spies" or "bad spies", everyone just hads ok spies that in singleplayer are really good just for collaboration governments. Most other projects cost too much to be worth doing. Raids are probably gonna be a bit better and in MP are gonna probably be a lot better than spies ever were.
@@Thedefenses I agree. Besides having more spy slots, which is a huge advantage, there was never really any further investment into how a country would get better or worse intelligence agencies (other than historical spies and luck, which even then felt negligible). I am also baffled that they never added the feature for spies to stack/repeat missions for ease of use. The only time spies seemed to be on my mind was when "oh damn I forgot to reassign them"
I have a feeling they might make a mechanic similar to ICBM's Plan Codes, wherein you designate high priority targets, and what kind of unit/weapon will be used to destroy, hinder or simply damage those targets
Interesting that you mentioned raids to "disable" the Panama canal and Kiel, but not the Suez canal. I wonder if there will be anything special for that or if its just not possible for balancing reasons.
It's because the Panama Canal and Kiel use locks which can be destroyed. Suez canal has no locks, and thus could only be destroyed by the owner of the Suez Canal using the decisions
@@thanatos8362the problem there is that, if you can get a big enough ship far enough into the Suez to jam the canal, you can probably just seize the canal for yourself, which is a strategically preferable outcome in most cases.
Oh, really nice ! Before this dev diary I imagined raid to be like a frontière conflict (like in china DLC) taking place in the middle of a war. But this seems to be more like an improvement of the spies mission, wich is arguably way better.
Also now with the second look they also made a western Macedonia which had a large albanian population and Bulgaria was slowly given more land westwards to counter the italians
3:49 No eupen malmendy, you can add Kaiserwilhelms land for accurate German colonial borders yet you can’t add eupen malmendy for fully accurate mainland German Empire borders
True they even split Macedonia but Germany, the main character of the entire game is not getting historically accurate states. That’s sad I can’t stand that ugly western German border any longer
That’s like in the 2nd or third quarter of next year dude. You are NOT getting news bout that for about another 6 months or something I’m not doing the math
Bro paradox answered my prayers ! Now I can play as unified Hungary and Romania + hungary has Tisa fields now as a state and other 2 more states , finally a huge amazing dlc !
Feels like a good way to play as a resistance faction with all these raids. Like singing in playing as the French resistance too to sabotage for the Allies
Paradox, I'm from Brazil, and here we Hoi4 fans don't have the purchasing power to buy this new DLC, it's really expensive here. Please set a fair price for us in Latin America.
I have a feeling I'm going to despise this mechanic about as much as espionage. The only reason I even have La Resistance enabled is for the armoured cars. I BEG you to make this feature optional.
It'd be nice to see raids that require small elite infantry teams like the british sabotages in heavy water plants in norway or paratroopers taking key bridges like the famous Pegasus bridge
Nice updates, can't wait the Division, Corps, or Brigade things updated, like Tanks Corps, Artillery brigade, Marine Corps, and things like that, and a system that you can use your Tank Batalion in any Division, like soviet did in most of the war, and can't wait to the peoduction update, when you literally can produce a certain amount of armament like 100 Jadgpanther, or 50 Maus, bit yeah, this update is already big and great, especially Raids, now My TAC and Strat. doesn't die much destroying the wrong province

@@VarangianVigilante I feel that there usually isn't much of a downside to just letting the AI waste resources into spies anyways ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I hope Nukes will actually have an impact now because, without the ability to nuke an entire frontline, the late game will be more tedious.
I have a feeling they might make a mechanic similar to ICBM's Plan Codes, wherein you designate high priority targets, and what kind of unit/weapon will be used to destroy, hinder or simply damage those targets
I don’t like that but I feel like a better way to make nukes better would be that if you drop them the province will get a 90% decrease of man power
@@M22Moment population distribution and population density stops them from just adding this
Honestly, using Nukes as a Frontline softener always felt kinda funky to me. That's like, the exact opposite of how Cold War planners saw them

No! No no no!!!!
Can't wait to finally play
Nuclear ballistic missiles is great
The music in this video is very nice :)) Especially here 2:40
Does this mean AA guns are now actually worth building in SP?
Seems so and now we also have Nuclear ICBMs
peak dlc paradox nice work
2:10 says V-3, shows a V-2
Loving the ICBMs.
This feels like an actual expansion tbh i really hope it’s good

The biggest content DLC is Götterdamerung I think?
Give us the option to customize air formations sizes again. 100 airplanes isn't always necessary or desireable.
I was really hoping for raids against naval ships being repaired/in harbor like the British and Italians did.
I love this amount of depth in the game !
"There are two major locks represented in the game: Panama and Kiel."
Suez: "What am I, chopped liver?!"
Nasser: JUST those two?
Suez Canal has no locks lol.
will there be a saint nazaire raid inspired operation?
I'm so excited for this.
Gonna be modding the hell out of raids 🎉🎉
We need an occult dlc for this game
Finally Dobrugea gets it's own state, instead of being part of Muntenia.
So are nukes going to be different now like gets rid of units or manpower or population
Yeah I‘m asking myself that too, they didn‘t clear that up properly in this video
No because paradox are too scared to include civilian casualties in the game.
They added a new nuke (thermonuclear)
Will the nukes lastly reduce population of a state now?
I love this DLC.

Suez doesn't use locks
but will nukes be more useful or can you still just repair the damages in like 3 weeks and its all good again?
THEY DEVIDED THE DOBRUJA FROM MUNTENIA
i saw the soviets getting an extension to their tree for dam focus ooooo
4:28 Some of you may die but it's a sacrifice I'm willing to make
Will bridges be added if not now, later as raid targets?
Since the Eban Emal raid is a thing now, can we get 3D models of Transports? (C47s, C46s, Ju52s, etc)
Will there be an Performance update aswell? Like in blood alone i think
There was also a previous performance upgrade back in Arms Against Tyranny
Dams?? Better be able to do atlantropa
Also adding icbm's by accident is mad funny
so does the stationary AA have a reason to exist now ?
can you please add a way to queue spy agency like MIO's
Commandos would be a cool unit
This looks good, glad these mechanics seem flushed out
Ein, Prußen Königreich 😏😄
Time to see three pink elephants in the early morning.
Supply hubs in low supply areas will be permanently raided oof
Will the nukes actually mean something now and will they be important?
Could you please add a QoL feature to allow us to choose a task force template for all task forces in a fleet?
"Next time we will be visiting Belgium" Whoa devs no need to threaten us!
Hope they change how atomic bombs word normally
If you pause the video to read you can see they added thermonuclear bombs
We better get an Operation Torch Raid
