For example say in the 1942 DLC if the player wins a DV at Stalingrad and then goes on to buy the DLC 1943, which assumes the "historical" German defeat at Stalingrad and the player ends up fighting at Kursk in 1943 etc this may get a little frustrating if you are constantly winning battles but are ultimately destined to lose the war so to speak.
Obviously the main campaign offers the alternate reality route(s) but if you buy all DLC packs for the more in-depth campaign knowing that you can never secure an ultimate victory no matter how many wins you rack up then this can effect gameplay. e.g. you could score a DV in every battle from 39 to 45 and will still be backs to the wall defending Berlin in the final 45 DLC battle (that happened to me so far in the main campaign anyway
). Not an issue so far for me, as I am still playing through the 39 DLC, where obviously Germany is historically winning but I can see it becoming more of a factor in the latter war years. I know there has been talk on the forum of additional alternate reality DLC and maybe that is the solution if that could be added to the 39-45 DLC.
I guess it is a fine line between reality and playability so I'd be interested in a dev's take on this issue.
