Cool. The first PDX published game outside their grand strategies that I'm actually looking forward to. Would prefer some European or middle East theme but can't have everything.
At the time of their release they were fairly mainstream. The game will make its money back from nostalgia alone.

Ironically the B-29 should be considered a Wunderwaffe. The cost of R&D and production was three billion dollars, and for comparison the Manhattan Project was a mere 1.9 billion. When you start looking into the incredibly advanced tech it possessed, that's an easy number to reach.
Me 262 never delivered, it was unable to be fielded in large numbers, had huge production issues due to bombing and slave labor, and when they did work they were grounded due to fuel shortages - a lack of pilots and the means to train them certainly did not help either. The Nazis could certainly cook but no one got a serving.
Wouldn't have thought it would be too hard since the addition of the plane designer. Custom variant of the large airframe and some unique modules to represent shit like the fire control and whatnot.
I'd argue that since unlike the other designs that were just plain stupid (Me 163) or cost-ineffective (V-2) the Me 262 was a practical, working design you can't hold their dogshit overall strategic situation against them since literally everything they tried to produce was suffering from those flaws. You might as well call the Ta 152 a wunderwaffe given that only 69 of them were made and it suffered from all of those above flaws while still being an astoundingly conventional piston plane. I'd also argue that the 262 was designed around that lack of fuel since as a jet turbine it could run on diesel instead of the highly refined avgas that piston engines of the time needed. So while it used a great deal more fuel it was a fuel that was much, much easier for Nazi Germany to synthesize.
I would like to see what Kaiserredux, Red Flood, and especially Pax Britannica does with Special Projects. It would be right up those mod's alley.
Vicky 3's problem is not overcomplication, it is massive and unwanted oversimplification. They oversimplified wars even by HOI4 standards for crying out loud.
There's a reason the idea was dropped in the transition between EU3 and 4.
I kinda wish Diplo range was a combination of range and tug based off of development; for example the Euro aren't sending a diplomat to Bumfuckistan in central Asia but will send a diplomat to fabled Cathay.
Would be realistic since Diplomats were the positions you placed the Failsons of the Aristocracy.
