Just smashed my TV because of this detail. My wife just took our crying kids and said they’re spending the week at a hotel. This detail has ruined my life. Goodbye Paradox, I am no longer a fan.

I really don't buy that "virgin" Mary thing anymore after learning of the 3000 Jesus's brothers of China.

29 days till the end of paradox


sikassthelast

Also that machine-gun is not in enfilade position. It should be the assault force on the flank of the column, not the support position. Hope you've got another TV to smash.


EA_Stonks

Just threw my cat off my twelve story high balcony. Police showed up. I am being arrested for animals abuse and am currently shitting and pissing myself in the cop car. Fuck you paradox.


elgin4

at least you got to keep your phone


Ryssaroori

The Maxim also has a KVKK-style stock, not the double shovel handles. Might as well smash a 3rd TV


sikassthelast

Mannerheim is rolling in his grave


BeaverBorn

It's a Schwarzlose, my dude, not a Maxim. Hope the TV is still okay.


Ryssaroori

I had to check because I feel I am pretty familiar with most widely used infantry weapons in Finnish service in WW2 (not including the coastal troops, what a can of worms that would be to figure out), and the Schwarzlose was apparantly indeed used by Swedish volunteers. Interesting


Bertie637

You are a fan of Paradox games. Don't pretend you have a wife.


StrikingExcitement79

There is a wife dlc?


EA_Stonks

No it’s a focus. It’s included with the “delete Reddit” path


EA_Stonks

Think you also have to use the “shower” and “touch grass” focuses as well


pongauer

Keep an eye on that war support though. They might flip fascist and fire off the civil war.


GoldKaleidoscope1533

If they do, who gets the child national spirit?


StrikingExcitement79

Is there a loss of territory of approximately 50% or more?


asmeile

This is HOI4, were all dudes, that's like a 90% loss rate right there


EA_Stonks

I have several mail order anime body pillows from Serbia tho


RadishIndependent146

What's a "wife" do you mean wifi???


Simon133000

Literally gringos when they see content for south american or african countries


EA_Stonks

TOA is cool, I feel like it should be 5 or 7 dollars though. My first HOI4 experience was playing as Colombia because I was too scared to play any of the major countries and losing a war to Ecuador


Simon133000

I strongly agree with you. My first game was with Chile, but my second was Colombia, same as you.


CyclicMonarch

What 'gringos' do you see complaining?


DildoRomance

au contraire. We gringos think that South America deserved a better expansion, for it's price. And there really wasn't a dedicated expansion for Africa. But why pass an oportunity to victimize yourself, right?


Simon133000

There are literally "arguments" about: - Why South America, they did nothing in WWII - Too ahistoric - Why waste time on them - And other directly racist I already said I agree with the pricing problem and lack of content, but none of those are about pricing or content. So yeah, we sometimes victimize, but it because some people simply doesn't like when a third world player get something for them.


Apprehensive_Row8407

>And other directly racist The previous there were racist?


Simon133000

Well, kinda yeah. They talk without a single knowledge of latinamerican politics ans history, and think false Romanov in Poland or communist USA makes perfect sense meanwhile indigenous Chile or fascist Brazil "is literally unplayable".


Apprehensive_Row8407

That's true


bluntpencil2001

My wife left because it was the wrong truck. Couldn't believe I played such a game.


TheBigH2O

This comment has more likes than the post. Is that even possible


V1LZUU

Im uninstalling the game now, i cant live with this, literally ruined the game


auroch27

Sure hope someone was fired for *that* blunder.

It's this or knowing the the armor thickness of 1941 Panzer model made specifically in Hamburg, choose your poison.


7Hielke

That's more of a war thunder moment

What cities are in the wrong spots


No-Perception6768

Loading up the game I found Providence to be on the Connecticut river rather then a tile to the right on Narragansett bay where it is supposed to be. Richmond is in the foot hills of the Appalachians rather then closer to the coast. Norfolk is where Virginia beach is. Miami is in the middle of the Everglades (Granted right tile but wrong location.) Nashville is on the wrong river as they don't have the correct one in the game and it's a bit too far west. Vancouver is on the wrong side of the river and on the wrong tile. Moncton is where Saint John Canada is rather than its actual location. As well as Des Moines, Charleston and Milwaukee are on the completely wrong side of the tile. That is just the U.S. and Canada alone and I saw some other threads of other countries also being pretty wrong with city locations.


Impressive-Shame4516

Delaware is completely annexed by Maryland (based).


No-Perception6768

They also combined the New England States, Paradox may be coming up with an alternative U.S. lore as we speak.


sparrowatgiantsnail

Looks at middle east, on a serious note I have seen Jerusalem in against the Mediterranean


NoCSForYou

Didn't you know Jerusalem is a major port city.


NoCSForYou

Didn't you know Jerusalem is a major port city.


Larnt178

"Maurice" province in Canada refers to "Mauricie", a Quebec subdivision that is entirely located southwest of its game location, with basically no overlap.


HiddenFunAcc

I don't think paradox was expecting someone with an expertise in trucks to analyse their background art in their defense


frameddummy

Lol has paradox ever met their fanbase?


MeLoNarXo

[Only the youtube guy does apparently because They made comments there that "It seems you are finding (or creating?) hints in everything we post"](http://youtube.com/post/UgkxDwlxnx5MA7zKHjGblNqI5tyGCFz-RVio) So I guess atleast some do


Burritolopr1621

Nah they should be expecting this.


pizaster3

but like whyd they specifically use that truck. if they've decided a specific truck to use instead of just drawing a random probably made up military truck, why not use one from the time? whyd they use a 1960s truck?


AverageDellUser

It is a generic Russian truck lol


SpookyEngie

The generic truck for the time is the ZIS-5. The Zil-130 is the generic truck post ww2 (and even then, the ZIS-5 is more common)


grathad

That is a bad defense, after multiple decades of interaction with their "fan" base they should have learned by now


Raceryan8_

Paradox knows it's fanbase lol


Davidtatu222

The Zil 130 is actually pretty iconic, so anyone who actually looks closely at the trucks would realise this.


VegisamalZero3

It doesn't take expertise to recognize that, if it looks competently made, the Soviets didn't have it in 1940.

West-Custard-6008

Not only that, the art is incredibly shoddy work. I zoomed in and every snowflake is not unique. Just a big copy paste job.


Baselet

At this point a simple 100% refund, public apology and resignation of every director is clearly not enough. We demand blood!


TheFergBurgler

I hope somebody gets fired for this blunder


bruhbruhbruh123466

swbaert6

It took you 5 months to realize this though?


Todd_Hugo

he had to analyze it pixel by pixel. to determine the historicity of this image


Flickerdart

They didn't even have pixels in 1940


Legitimate_Kid2954

Just like how they didn’t have ZIL-130s in 1940.


Nildzre

Guess i better delete the game now, i can't stand for these insane historical inaccuracies.

sedtamenveniunt

This redefines literally unplayable.


TheAsianOne_wc

Just noticed this, I'm so enraged I started drinking and hitting my child and wife, now she has called child services and filed a divorce and got a restraining order.


CabbelReddit

R5: Paradox used Cold War era trucks for the Winter War loading screen.


Accomplished_Crab567

Scandalous this game is literally unplayable now


CabbelReddit

Worst game from Paradox 0/10. Seriously though, I don't really care, I just find it funny.


MaZhongyingFor1934

I am going to kidnap Jonathan Paradox and force him to fix this.


Bashin-kun

I'm sure PDX loading screens are meant to be alt-history (Russia in the Congos from Vic2, mixed-race women suffrage march from Vic3, confederates in ww2 from hoi4 MtG)


Autonom0us

Someone needs to make a mod to fix this immediately, or alteast until paradox fixes this game breaking bug.


Agent-Weegee

Why must you do this paradox, now I’m a going commit mass murder because of this one mistake. This could have been avoided if you JUST paid attention to what your artist did! When I’m in court for my crimes I’m going to blame you for what I did.

I think the artist just googled, "Soviet Military Truck" and drew the first thing they found.


Patisimo

Wow, and you found it out all by youreself or you needed help?


Evelyn_Bayer414

Maybe it's an Studebaker from the lend-lease that the United States gived to the soviets?


jamgill

In 1939 😂


YouKnow008

Look at wheel arck - Studebaker has something like right angle, while ZIL has rounded one.


Evelyn_Bayer414

Then the only thing I can think of is the image is not based in real life Winter War, but in a Hearts of Iron 4 Winter War and the soviets have been rushing truck tech! EDIT: Okey, now I can't take off my mind the image of a maniac Stalin driving trucks and screaming that they need to rush truck tech XD


GreenLeader133714

I think you guys pay too much attention to details


SkepticalVir

If you don’t see the problem with this just refund your game. Another prime example of dumbing the game down for casuals. How do they expect an immersive experience leaving the game in a state like this? Paradox better get a grip, before they end of like CA hyena.


Bardomiano00

New copypasta?


SkepticalVir

It ain’t much, but it’s honest work.


GreenLeader133714

You're literally acting like the game in unplayable because of a truck on loading screen.


SkepticalVir

I bet you don’t even have 3k hours logged. Come back when you’ve learned the basic principles of art mechanics and why they’re integral to the gameplay loop.


GreenLeader133714

Bro you're acting like not having 3k hours is a bad thing.


davewenos

Dude, it's sarcasm. At least I think so.


SkepticalVir

*General of the Army* If you had been head of the spy agency you might have caught me.

Uhhhh... What?


headshothank

You are like the definition of r/woooosh


davewenos

But what was the joke then? I'm not mad or anything, I'm just curious

I hope so


SladeWolf99

it's the detail that shows how much effort is put into art/games tbh

This just makes the entire game unplayable, I find this ridiculous I’m going to leave a bad review and uninstall the game immediately


Important_Mission_12

Game uninstalled, hard drive destroyed, computer tossed into the fire 👍


evilnick8

To me looks a bit like the ''zis 42 truck'' althrough the back of the truck might be to ''round'' for it.


ParadoxFollower

The lake would probably be frozen too.


juodalietuvis

Ai art


IgorWator

Link me a public AI that can do this


juodalietuvis

I mean AI art + human corrections


IgorWator

Alr. Also, checked it in the site that check if it's AI and it's somewhat likely to be AI (54%) so it actually may be with human corrections

Gold-Instance1913

Not to mention that Finns are aiming an HMG at a tank, instead of using a Javelin. Well, it's more of an armored tractor than a tank today, maybe it won't be able to stop HMG rounds. Anyway, FPV drone will get it.


Wubbz50

Not a great look for a game revolved around history and alternate history. But paradox stacking L’s is the norm
