Focus tree Frenzy

The Australian “Focus Tree” is one of the reasons I hate Paradox Interactive *so* much as a company. They’re incredibly lazy. It genuinely blows my mind how much people will defend them when the modding community have proven - beyond a shadow of a doubt - that the developers *could* do more, but simply choose not to.

I have a dirty confession, communist australia is probably my most played path in vanilla hoi4, spam agency, get collab on Dutch East Indies, invade the Netherlands from the soviets, collab siam big SEA empire before japan good times The focus tree makes me want to toaster bath

Australia tree is just "the illusion of choice, you will fight Japan"

you have a mouse i have a cat all in all WE WANT THE RAT

I think I may be the only other person who actually actively played Australia and it was just as you expected.... On a side note, it always confused me how Australia starts off with so little resources when the country itself is literally overflowing with iron, tungsten etc it's a biut like the the middleeast having so little oil... I feel they need to focus on bringing the world up to date etc with resource balance and that. Would go a long way if Paradox actually focused on stuff already in the game instead of just adding random country focus trees.

@Hayden2447

Ай бұрын

Oh no, now that they were rolled into the base game you’ll get to pay for a country pack or expansion overhauling them!

Because most of the Dominion focus trees are so old and untouched (except Canada getting some love), I’d recommend the British Empire mod. It not only greatly expands the Dominion focus trees with unique events, but they also allow you to play as colonies in Africa and Asia as well. I actually had a great game as British Malaya. They’re a little slow sometimes to update the mod to the latest base patch, but I think it’s worth it.

@@Coolinjay04 Not really wishing to enter your little discussion with @GGNatalie but you might want to do a bit of research. Australia actually supplied most of the generic materials for the US forces in the Pacific throughout the war. The contribution was so important the US encouraged Australia to demob some divisions (CMF) to return to industry and, critically, Australia was if not the only, then one of the only countries, with a positive balance of payments with Lend Lease. That is, the US owed Australia at the end of the war, not the other way around. None of this amounts to 'the most important' but it certainly isn't trivial either.

@@montecarlo1651 I don't want this to turn into a debate. Yes they were "important" as was the 15+ countries in the allies. Wikipedia states simpily, "While the military was largely relegated to subsidiary fronts from mid-1944, it continued offensive operations against the Japanese until the war ended." In the actual gritty fight for the most part the Australians were what we would call reserves today. Only 27,073 confirmed kills for the war. That's what the Americans fought on a single island.

@@Coolinjay04 Fair enough. You are considering contribution mainly by casualties and this isn't a good measure. If it was, then China or the USSR would be by far the most significant contributors, and I don't think you'd readily agree with that. Australians played critical roles in Nth Africa and responsible for taking 10s of thousands of POWs in addition to inflicting considerable losses on the Axis. It was Australians that defended Tobruk, and held it against repeated attacks from Rommel (he called the Australian's the elite troops of the Empire), and Australians made the key breakthrough at 2nd El Alamein when their attack was meant to be a diversion. These troops, called the 2nd AIF and comprising 6 divisions, were raised from volunteers and were Australia's regular army, they were not militia or reservists. That they were all volunteers makes them unique among all combatant forces and partly explains their esprit de corps. The CMF, a sort of reservists force, was initially deployed in the islands north of Australia when Japan entered the war as the AIF was still in Nth Africa however once the AIF came back, they took over the campaign. Being hardened veterans, these were very serious soldiers indeed. Australia was consigned by MacArthur to ancillary theatres for political reasons, as he wanted to achieve results with American troops to aggrandize his reputation in the US. This was a bit like how he was consigned to the same theatres by the US military to deny him any great achievements. That tends to understate the Australian contribution to the War, if not the Pacific theatre. Australians were the first to defeat the Japanese Army, at Milne Bay in PNG and followed this up with steady success in appalling conditions throughout PNG and into the Indonesian archipelago. Most of this history is forgotten, including by most Australians. Of course, how can this compete with Nimitiz's naval campaign? It can't, for more than any other single contribution, it was this contribution by the US navy that dominates the Pacific theatre. All of the other theatres, with the exception of China, are clearly much lower down the list. I am certainly not arguing for any greater role than the country deserves, but its contribution wasn't nothing and deserves to be remembered.
