The War Effort continues with Operation Grouse, so to prepare you for the battlefield, we've gone ahead and grabbed some intel from Command on the upcoming changes coming in patch 1.14.5 and are releasing them on an Open Beta.
To join the open beta, right click HOI4 in your Steam Library and go to Properties. Once there, you can go to 'Betas' and at the top right select "open_beta"
Prepare for some Balance changes, some minor graphics and UI changes, and a whole LOT of bug fixes!

Balance
##################################
- USA MIO: Changed description of North American Aviation and Lockheed to better describe their roles. - USA MIO: Added new variants to Douglas, Detroit Arsenal, Brooklyn Naval Yard and Norfolk Naval Yard - USA MIO: Switched Norfolk Naval Yard to Escort and Brooklyn Naval Yard to Taskforce - USA MIO: Changed Electric Boat Company from Raiding Fleet to Submarine Designer - Updated Paraguay and Uruguay with more accurate victory points - The Chilean decision to release the Inuit now grants them cores on Attu Island and the Chuckchi Peninsula, as well as ownership of them if they are controlled by Chile or one of their subjects. - Fixed multiple issues with the Canadian focus "The Newfoundland Act". The focus now has a clearer available tooltip. It should also be able to be taken in the patriation path, as the "demanded patriation" opinion modifier is now set to last for three years, instead of indefinitely. - Fixed various issues with the final focuses in the shared Chinese focus tree, adding is_subject = no as well as a check for Japan not being a subject in the "Dominate Japan" focus. - Fixed and updated targeting and bypasses for the Estonian focuses "Unite Karelia" and "Unite the Sami". - Fixed an issue in the Romanian focus tree where the focus "Appoint Pro-Axis Government" would say it unlocked a decision to join the allies, despite instead unlocking one for the Axis, and made the effects of the three focuses "Appoint Pro-Axis Government", "Appoint Pro-Allied Government" and "Appoint Pro-Soviet Government" more readable. - The "Caliphate of Cordoba" formable nations decisions no longer require you to control impassable desert states, as their controller can be more than finicky at times. - Fixed incorrect grammar in the Norwegian Infanteridivisjon and Binærdivisjon unit templates. - Mengkukuo no longer has MIOs only accessible through the shared Chinese focus tree, and has also received a generic plane MIO. - Fixed a long-standing issue where the weekly negative change in the Italian Balance of Power wasn't removed upon them regaining control of their core states. - Fixed an issue where the focus "British Guns" would only show two out of the three unlocked decisions, and added subsidies to the artillery decision to make it match the anti-air and anti-tank decisions. - Added Luxembourg to the list of targets in the French focus "Natural Borders of France", as it is west of the Rhine. - Poland now gets a puppet wargoal against Czechoslovakia if they are a puppet of another nation in their focus "King of Bohemia", instead of simply stealing said puppet. - Added the option for a non-aligned Lithuania to adopt Mstislav Dobuzhinsky's flag design through a decision.

- Fixed Sinkiangs flag to use Cheng-Chi-Tsai's second flag, as the old one was their pre-1934 version.
