Description:

Transform the skies into a true battlefield with this comprehensive rework of strategic bombing in Hearts of Iron IV. This mod introduces a dynamic, escalating system that tracks bombing devastation over time, bringing powerful long-term consequences to states and nations suffering sustained aerial attacks.
Enhance the strategic value of bombing missions and add new depth to your wartime campaigns.

🔥 Key Features
• Progressive Bombing Penalties: Repeated air raids cause cumulative devastation, triggered through custom events and ideas.
• Escalating Consequences: Prolonged bombing reduces stability, production, and even population as the devastation mounts.
• Immersive Event Chains: Custom events reflect the political, social, and military consequences of war from above.
• Strategic Depth: Cripple enemy infrastructure over time or brace your own nation against the storm.
• Adjusted Upgrade/Module Values: Bombers and missiles upgrades/modules have been rebalanced to make strategic bombing more impactful and rewarding.
• Enhanced Doctrines: Doctrine improvements provide more meaningful choices for both players and AI, making air strategy even more critical.
• Mitigation Decisions: Nations under heavy bombardment can access new decisions to respond to through civil defense and rebuilding efforts.
