It is a resource game, and part of the resource are your soldiers. If you take out the turn timer, the game would be way too easy.

{shrug} It literally killed it for me, haven't touched it since I realized that there simply wasn't much fun left for me. If I happen to be in the mood to play something sweaty I'll just go play an FPS, where the penalty for rushed mistakes is temporary and you carry on.

It's a ... pace of play (?) thing. I've got (looks to see) 896 hours in HOI4 right now. I'd bet that as much as 20% of those have been spent micromanaging fleet upgrades.
