It takes about 4-5 seconds for each day in January 1936. By that average, it takes 150 seconds (2.5 minutes) for a 30-day month to pass. That comes out to 1800 seconds (30 minutes) for a year to pass.
1936-1939 is three years. That's 1.5 hours of doing nothing but staring at the screen as the US waiting for war to break out.
HOI3 is utterly unplayable, period. While waiting 30 minutes for a year to pass may be acceptable to some younger masochoists who have a lot of time, I'm no longer the person I was in 2002; I'm older now, and I don't want to spend time twiddling my thumbs.
For this reason, I just can't play Silent Hunter 3 and 4 anymore -- even a simple war patrol in SH4 with a S-Boat out of the phillipines takes several hours, due to the absolutely horrid time compression.
I take it yu don''t play WitP much do yah? Cause that game takes a lot longer than HOI to play
Also you'll spend the first two hours of WitP just thinking of what you want to do and change that 100 times before doing something.
. (this s a side effect of improving allied cooperation-which needed some help)
