"Actually we didn't lose, and actually we won, because we could have done things differently where it caused us to win, and the fabrication of this hypothetical alternate world in my head means we actually did win!"
France could have withstood the German attack if it had put more anti-tank guns in the Ardennes, therefore France was never invaded and occupied by the Nazis
I once had someone show us his HOI4 game and "explain" ww2 to us, he said "well the Nazis would have one if they had just taken Sevastopol".
Like "oh really? why didnt they fucking try to do that then?" plus taking Crimea is not even that important in HOI4 in my experience. Not like the soviets got their aid through the Mediterranean anyways. In reality the Soviets lost Sevastopol so hmm what does that say about how militaries actually work?
The photos of Sevastopol's harbor afterwards are fucking horrifying

God damnit, I love HoI4, but it really does bring out the worst
