[native girder]

hey

don't ignore me

[sleek remnant]

I don’t remember it before

[glacial steeple]

yeah its rare

[sleek remnant]

I have like 1.2k hours 😭

Maybe got it before but forgot, idk

[native girder]

plz don't ignore me

[glacial steeple]

its probably because vanilla visuals changed

[sleek remnant]

When I wasn’t as good and didn’t know much

[native girder]

so it'll be like this 4 ever?

[glacial steeple]

until they update fps map probably

[native girder]

not even FPS MAP can fixe it?

[glacial steeple]

fps map would be the issue?

[native girder]

the issue is the graphic sucks

[glacial steeple]

unless its a technical issue?

it should be launcher settings

[native girder]

I tried to fix it with FPS MAP and didn't work

[native girder]

oh yea?

lemme see

[calm forge]

dont listen to silly billy

[bleak star]

I want to make a war is hell doctrine where its very hard for the enemy to push. would great war infantry be a better sub doctrine rather than defensive postures?

[glacial steeple]

try this

[native girder]

There's nothing wrong in Game Settings

[glacial steeple]

or something similar

high org + high recovery rate + high reinforce rate

[calm forge]

what doctrine is best for countering war is hell doctrines

[glacial steeple]

literally just stack attack? its not that hard

[native girder]

am I cooked?

[glacial steeple]

it could be your renderer idk

[glacial steeple]

also read the #server-rules , modern policitians in pfp arent allowed

[native girder]

oh

upsi

[glacial steeple]

just fyi

[inner sparrow]

wouldn’t say jfk counts as modern

[glacial steeple]

anything after 1945

[native girder]

anyone*

[inner sparrow]

then stalin would be not allowed aswell right?

[glacial steeple]

mhm

[native girder]

Jokes apart

My problem?

How can I fix it?

[bleak star]

is this meta or smth? this lowk looks nothing like what im asking for but sure ill do it.

[glacial steeple]

its not a joke id have to warn/time you out over it :> i prefer to just tell you, though

[glacial steeple]

its just how stats work?

you will get deorged

but if you just reinforce and reorg youll never get pushed

[native girder]

Ok thanks but how can I fix my problem?

[glacial steeple]

idk i gave you the help i can

#tech-support would be better

[native girder]

thanks

[storm dirge]

how do i make someone have a bad opinion on me? i need it for the jutland event

[inner sparrow]

can’t get much harder to push than that, besides going full low inf with sfp and some defensive doctrines but after new doc change u wont reinforce in time and eventually will lose tiles

[calm forge]

is the australian naval attrition glitched?

[bleak star]

why do you have superior fire power but no artillery. is overwhelming fire a good tactic? or are the milestones good?

[inner sparrow]

bc artillery is ass

not good at attacking, and okay at defending but theres better

sfp grand doctrine is the best defensive option because of 0.6 recovery rate, gbp would be best for attacking

[calm forge]

lol no flame tanks better

[bleak star]

anti air better

[bleak star]

0.6 btw

[inner sparrow]

0.6 is big

[glacial steeple]

0.6 out of max 2.0

[vale cypress]

how doees the new navy work

[inner sparrow]

?

[bleak star]

oh okay! i will do it king!

[calm forge]

like how it used to

[vale cypress]

it changed a ton

it isnt like before

[bleak star]

and then why should I pick mobile infantry rather than defensive postures or great war?

[calm forge]

oh right they made the dlc integrated

[inner sparrow]

gives best buffs for mechs

[calm forge]

jus watch a tutorial and spam light cruisers

[inner sparrow]

if you do mechanized

[bleak star]

grrrr I hate mechs

[inner sparrow]

then don’t do them and bick different doctrine

either cw reduction for inf or the ww1 doctrines that gives 30% army defense is good choice for inf

[glacial steeple]

it was for a mech build

[vale cypress]

there ARE no tutorials on it

[glacial steeple]

just read the buffs

mech gets silly org

[vale cypress]

and also, lighht cruiser spam and destroyer spam doesnt work

[glacial steeple]

why not

[inner sparrow]

they do tho

[glacial steeple]

are you fighting the british navy as germany or something

[vale cypress]

cuz strike force’s useless

[glacial steeple]

and youre like

i cant beat them in 1940

[vale cypress]

tryibg. to fight Equestrian navy

[glacial steeple]

you dont make those for strike force

thats for battles

[bleak star]

wont it be expensive tho? am south africa

[glacial steeple]

as south africa you dont have any doctrine

or any good generals

or any air

or any good economy

or a good spot on the map

or a strong focus tree

but you do have the ability (barely, might not work after update?) to take out portugal

as does basically every nation

[calm forge]

yeah right australia absolutely mogs

[bleak star]

what are you on almost every time I play south africa I mog portugal

[glacial steeple]

australia also kinda sucks

but most allied minors do now

[calm forge]

i beat japan as australia wdym

[bleak star]

you guys lied to me where is the 0.6 recovery rate 😢

[glacial steeple]

click the book

you get it after finishing doctrines

[bleak star]

whatever you say man

[glacial steeple]

idk what you want from me

are you doing like uk vs south africa

[bleak star]

anyway so you saying i should use mechs even tho am play as south africa?

[glacial steeple]

no?

[bleak star]

south africa vs japan

[glacial steeple]

that was more a general thing like playing yk ussr

or anyone that gets full doctrine which is like just majors

[bleak star]

oh sowhat subdoctrine for inf do I use

[glacial steeple]

tbh idk

because you wont get that much mastery

its the main issue of minor nations rn

but luckily ai also gets very little

[sleek remnant]

How so?

[glacial steeple]

small army, small navy

lot of colonial holdings giving lots of naval range

[hollow linden]

Large inf tactics

[glacial steeple]

its definitely not the most convenient as say indonesia

[hollow linden]

Make 17w/35.7w

[glacial steeple]

but more convenient than some other options

(if you want to get into europe)

[inner sparrow]

any subdoctrines that buffs ur inf stats

u dont have eco for non inf

[hollow linden]

That's all of them 😭

[glacial steeple]

nah

[inner sparrow]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1159941676576550912/1442609828114464788/caption.gif

this is casey finland btw

[glacial steeple]

@hollow linden

[hollow linden]

Oh god

[inner sparrow]

me when I don’t read what my game tells me

[bleak star]

what does field engineering even give

[inner sparrow]

its joever

[inner sparrow]

thats the joke

basically nothing

[bleak star]

me when... uh... idk...

[glacial steeple]

it buffs the engineer support company

[bleak star]

wow

[glacial steeple]

not the units affecting it

[bleak star]

air cavalry

[glacial steeple]

just the support

wow i love having +25% hp on a support company with like 4 hp

[bleak star]

lol no flame tanks better

[hollow linden]

Does this have anything to do with what I said or did u just copy the wrong message?

[inner sparrow]

he is right tho yk

flame tank is better

[hollow linden]

Never did I say they were wrong

Im simply confused

So I asked

[bleak star]

im repeatinig what you said the last time I saw you on this server

[inner sparrow]

bro just accept it

[hollow linden]

I do

[hollow linden]

And why

[inner sparrow]

assault infantry and flame tanks make me cream like straight up fr

[hollow linden]

I'm asking simple questions here

[inner sparrow]

infinite break hack

[bleak star]

it was funny

with the context

whatever bro youd never understand smh

[hollow linden]

No I don't because it doesn't make logical sense

I'm too dense for humor

[inner sparrow]

my message got muted

1984

[hollow linden]

Kek

Did u say restarted

[inner sparrow]

nah

Is this meta @hollow linden im very new at the game pls tell

I think im missing arty

like line arty for more soft?

https://tenor.com/view/crash-out-bunny-rabbit-im-gif-10075768982376662002

[hollow linden]

Nah heavy tds are ass, use mot arty w armored cars

U need speed to get breakthroughs

[inner sparrow]

truke

[hollow linden]

U don't need hard cuz most of the frontline is inf just fight where the tanks aren't

Easy

I'm so good at this

[hollow linden]

Wait why 38?

Fr now

Cuz plains?

[inner sparrow]

going over width is not that bad esp after stat bloat

[hollow linden]

Oh alr

[inner sparrow]

was already good before but ger players are scared of losing ic

[hollow linden]

Is 40w back on the menu

[inner sparrow]

while having 25k tanks in stock

[inner sparrow]

not really, mabye on a few units

but tanks 38 is great already before doctrine changes

like try to not get clicked by td with 1.2k hard and 1.3k break

https://tenor.com/view/rabbit-bunny-pillow-dance-gif-26892526

[hollow linden]

The mountain in question

[inner sparrow]

the mountain will get evaporated aswell on the way

[glacial steeple]

you get clicked by trench tanks

smh

[inner sparrow]

very real

[glacial steeple]

not even clicked just afked

[inner sparrow]

we tested it, sov is getting nuked in this patch

[glacial steeple]

no way

axis bloat dlc bloats axis??

the way to balance it is to have a china player stall japan for 500 years

so a bit less axis IC

[inner sparrow]

even with entrench like we did max entrenched test, they have too low stats so even with modifier they get nuked

like straight up

[glacial steeple]

what if

german trench tanks

[inner sparrow]

sigma

[inner sparrow]

on ports

[glacial steeple]

if not allowed sit 1 tile behind port

d day wall but you leave the sea open

[inner sparrow]

fr

[glacial steeple]

why has no one done this /j

[glacial steeple]

is it the stats or is it the IC

or is it both

tbh after germany takes stalino its like over for ussr anyway

cant reproduce losses at all

[inner sparrow]

both but mostly stats

[glacial steeple]

can the allied d day remotely save it

or is vanilla comp mp officially dead

the age of cope mods will be real...

[inner sparrow]

it was always allies dday save it

now they just need to save it faster

[glacial steeple]

is that even possible 😭

d day wall did NOT get nerfed (if d day wall nations get full doctrine)

you can orgwall so hard which is the equivalent of higher hp

[inner sparrow]

yes it is

as soon as it lands its just a matter of time

[bleak star]

can you send air vollunteers and how many?

[inner sparrow]

french tanks on dday are stat machines with green air

in test we rolled like 7k hard in combat with french tds

and no veterans ofc

[glacial steeple]

why not

[inner sparrow]

bc it was for hmm and vets banned

[glacial steeple]

evil mod

i like vets

its like free win

[inner sparrow]

vets are disgusting

[hollow linden]

Precisely why they're banned kek

[glacial steeple]

"i dont like winning"

/j

makes matchmaking easier though

youll know if your team will win or lose

[empty latch]

How to get nukes instantly researched ?

[cold bloom]

With console or in a mod?

[empty latch]

Console im playing kaiserreich

[cold bloom]

Try research sp_nuclear_bomb if that doesnt work theres no direct command I think

[scenic nacelle]

There is a command to instant research all SP

I forgot it though

[cold bloom]

sp_research_all

[empty latch]

No don’t need that to

But il try it in a bit

[jagged bronze]

Hello just got HOI VI and im really struggling would love some help and advice

[scenic nacelle]

There is a instant research for it

Just do the reactors, nuke, thermo nuke

[empty latch]

Look up guides on yt

[glacial steeple]

sp_ra

[empty latch]

What are the codes?

[glacial steeple]

dummy it can be shorter

sp_fast iirc too

could be wrong

[scenic nacelle]

Just Google hoi4 console commands

Do control F, type it in and look

[glacial steeple]

its the ` button for console access btw

i suggested they add keybind customization..

[scenic nacelle]

Bro I was sleeping

Cmon

[glacial steeple]

@scenic nacelle whats the hoi4 meta

[scenic nacelle]

The meta is to buy my eu5 im pretty sure

Wink wink

[sterile pebble]

why is my fleet suffering from supply issues? It has a max level naval base and a naval supply hub, and my convoy line to taiwan has 100% efficiency and has convoy escort from a hundred destroyers

I also have enough fuel

[hollow linden]

Maybe not enough base supply

Or are u lacking convoys

[sterile pebble]

I have enough convoys, and lacking base supply would be weird because its absolutely maxed

if a maxed base cant even handle a small fleet then idk

[hollow linden]

Build additional hubs

[sterile pebble]

aight then
also, why does my amphibious tank not work? I'm using a modern tank chassis, with the amphibious drive module

I tried on a clean template, with only the drive, still gives the same error

[devout ocean]

This decent? So far it hasn't caused me issues. (Germany)

[empty latch]

It resceard randomly

[inner sparrow]

don’t use modern chasis they are bad and straight up worse than improved or basic

not really a reason to upgrade any basic chasis

[inner sparrow]

works for singleplayer as you can just outproduce ai

[devout ocean]

So its ok then?

[inner sparrow]

for single player sure

ai wont put anything better out anyways or not enough

[devout ocean]

Alright thanks.

[devout ocean]

This is 1940 design.

[inner sparrow]

that’s fine

[lost glen]

will this make it so i got to war

[undone raptor]

so quick question: I am currently playing as the communist philippines, but I dont really find a way to become independent...
I honestly think this is a "flaw" in the focus, since I dont see anything that can "free" me besides the USA "intervention" decisions...

[undone raptor]

"off with his head!" will put you to war with the ROC

reject notions will just cancel chinese united front I think

[jolly trench]

Hello guys, I just resume my run and it seems I can't have achievements for no reason while I use no mods, etc. Do you any idea on how to fix that ? It's the second time this has happened on a 6+ years run...

(sorry for bad english)

[native mist]

i am looking for help with my mod (mostly idea's / senario's)

[winter plover]

what kind of armor do i need against the AI?

[winter plover]

what does the tooltip say?

[lucid torrent]

Huh?Why the map still like this?

[inner sparrow]

change the role of the tank to spg

they got buffed an are only 2w now so u can get 1-1.5k soft

[winter plover]

they’re used in tank divs

[inner sparrow]

in template

[winter plover]

oh really?

[inner sparrow]

wasn’t tht for ur tank div

[inner sparrow]

yeah

[winter plover]

even as spg?

[inner sparrow]

like spg tanks, change the role to artillery in designer

[winter plover]

but yes

[inner sparrow]

and then put them in instead of medium tank

[winter plover]

yeah i know

[inner sparrow]

exactly

they are 2w now

[winter plover]

actually isn’t it SPART?

[inner sparrow]

idk I always called them sprg

[winter plover]

i haven’t playtested my standard templates

[inner sparrow]

they are extremely buffed and worth it for singleplayer

also don’t bother with armor

[winter plover]

yeah i don’t

you only need to worry about armor in MP right?

[inner sparrow]

even in mp it got nuked this patch

u only add armor for maxing breakthrough

[winter plover]

here’s a question: what’s the ideal for Japan?

[inner sparrow]

and u won’t need more break in sp

[inner sparrow]

ideal what

[winter plover]

tanks or inf?

[inner sparrow]

special forces

[winter plover]

fighting in the “southern resource zone”

[inner sparrow]

just do special forced and air

or inf and air

both is fine

tanks arent that good as jap bc u suffer a lot off bad terrain modifiers

[winter plover]

duck me im not used to SFs

[inner sparrow]

its just inf but better

[winter plover]

effin jungles!

[devout ocean]

Uh, what are decent tank stats (Medium) for destroying the USSR?

[inner sparrow]

in single player just put medium howy gun on your medium tank and then change it to artillery tank and get 1k soft in your template

but anything that gives 600+ is fine enough vs singleplayer soviets

[devout ocean]

Alright thanks.

[royal glade]

Someone in 1h?

[devout ocean]

What year should I change it to Arty tank?

Since I wanna make sure I have enough

[inner sparrow]

around half a year to a year before war

[devout ocean]

Alright.

[reef star]

medium tanks are good enough

[winter plover]

i meant do i need like 1-2 points in armor

to avoid piercing

[hollow linden]

To avoid piercing you can make an armor meme, basically a space marine but for tanks

[lucid torrent]

Japan focus is free, but China focus is in DLC, isn't it?

[hollow linden]

Armor clicks are usually for break, armor is just a nice bonus

[reef star]

both are in dlc

[winter plover]

so i don’t need to worry about it when fighting AI?

i rarely play MP lol

[hollow linden]

I mean, armor clicks are still good and not being pierced is kinda big

[reef star]

technically you get china focus from WTT for free, but I don't think that is what you're asking for

[hollow linden]

Wasn't talking about mp either?

[lucid torrent]

Then why only japan got focus?

[native mist]

can anyone help me with my map / senario for my mod

[hollow linden]

Marketing

[winter plover]

the AI doesn’t know how to fight tanks afaik so their support units are weak

[hollow linden]

Well they do sometimes do Support at and late game they can pierce tanks without armor meme

But tbh tanks are kinda bad anyway

You can beat all of sp with air and inf

Sometimes it is just that simple

[reef star]

lemme run the game without dlc to check

[winter plover]

the div i posted usually tears through the soviets

but that’s fighting in Europe

[wintry matrix]

You want to have more armor than a normal infantry division with support anti-air has on piercing.

Later even more.

[winter plover]

gimme a number?

my tanks only have trouble when dealing with terrain

and/or low supply

[wintry matrix]

You can check it easily on your own.
Don't have the numbers rn.

[winter plover]

reeeee!

[reef star]

you're right japan does get the dlc for free

[hollow linden]

What div did u post?

Can't find it

[winter plover]

it was a few days ago

[hollow linden]

Resend.

[winter plover]

#ask-for-help-here message

[hollow linden]

This is pretty good

What the other guy said still applies

[winter plover]

god discord mobile has become really enshitified

[hollow linden]

So I won't repeat what he said

[winter plover]

that it needs like 2-3 armor?

i was told don’t bother with armor

[hollow linden]

Wdym 2-3 armor?

[kind harbor]

down bad rn... i hate the navy. I'm trying to only have 1 theater, and seperate the surface and sub fleets into 2 massive groups like the second screenshot. How do I navigate this UI?

[hollow linden]

The stat?

You have more at base

[wintry matrix]

Before 1940 you can get away with 20 armor.
After that you want to have above 45.

[hollow linden]

Arbitrary number that means nothing

[reef star]

interesting, I can't launch the game without a japan tree because WTT is removed

[winter plover]

armor points, next to enginet

[hollow linden]

Just max them out as much as you can

[winter plover]

why?

[hollow linden]

You need them anyway

[hollow linden]

More break

The majority of your break comes from the clicks

[winter plover]

you’re directly contradicting what everyone else tells me

[hollow linden]

Because those people don't know things that I do

[winter plover]

which is that armor doesn’t matter dmg does

[hollow linden]

You can choose to believe me or not

[wintry matrix]

You asked for the minimum.
The bare minimum is the bare minimum.
You want more than the bare minimum.

[hollow linden]

Well it does? Not getting pierced means you take 4x less damage

Kinda huge

[wintry matrix]

If you believe armor isn't important, then you might not know what the stat mean.

You're mistaken to think that armor is useless.

[hollow linden]

Well here's the thing. AI makes units so shit that it might not matter if they pierce you or not 4×0 is still 0

AI doesn't have stats

[kind harbor]

Bumping because of redditors debating in a help channel #ask-for-help-here message

[hollow linden]

Skill issue gtfo

[winter plover]

MP is too sweaty for me lol

[wintry matrix]

Don't insult people.
It makes you look like an idiot.

MP is another world, yeah.

[winter plover]

i just wanna have fun while still being able to win not

min max everything and totally restart after one mistake in 1942

[hollow linden]

Nobody mentioned it again. We're talking about sp still

[inner sparrow]

its vs ai tho, it doesn’t matter if the 100 hard attack division pierces him or not

[hollow linden]

As I said above

[inner sparrow]

it will get nuked anyways by 1k base spgs like biggest nothing burger

[hollow linden]

I'm just saying, if they really care about armor, make armor meme and clicks are good regardless

[inner sparrow]

in sp maybe but armor memes died with new update

[winter plover]

i will say that the meta changed with NCNS

[inner sparrow]

as long as ai doesnt pick right doctrine he will get away with armor memes sure

[winter plover]

jinx

[hollow linden]

Did they?

Why?

Does everybody get piercing now

[inner sparrow]

yes look at the at doctrine

and what it gives

[versed rose]

Frontline at has 20% piercing

Td doctrine has another 10% I think

[winter plover]

gotta relearn the doctrine system 😩

[stiff moth]

SPG changes seem to make them quite good

[versed rose]

Armor meme was already at the edge of at piercing too iirc

[inner sparrow]

you get like 100+ piercing on ur inf depending on what at u have

[winter plover]

it's a strange choice to nerf tanks since they were the centerpiece of the war (in europe)

[versed rose]

This is an understatement, normal tanks are now irrelevant

[winter plover]

didn't the nazis (thankfully) loose because the allies outproduced them?

[hollow linden]

Wooow

[inner sparrow]

nothing nerfed tanks

tanks are stronger than ever in current update

[winter plover]

is hoi4 slowly becoming a WWI game? 😛

[hollow linden]

Don't fool yourself into thinking this game has any semblance of realism

[winter plover]

i mean, i don't

but

[hollow linden]

Before this update the tank doctrine was best for inf and the ww1 doctrine was best for tanks

[hollow linden]

Well you just did

At least in that statement

[inner sparrow]

the exact opposite, in this patch everything is so stat bloated and mass assault inf is removed, battles end in an instant

[versed rose]

I'll nerd emoji you and say regular tanks went from critically endangered to extinct

[inner sparrow]

tds and spgs are also tanks

[winter plover]

idk what people are building but when i played japan the war with china lasted into 41

[inner sparrow]

and they went from op to godly

[winter plover]

what's the best doctrine for Japan?

[inner sparrow]

air and inf with perma naval invasions and u cap china in less than a year

[versed rose]

Not according to the game /s (I hate how tanks is a different category from tanks and armor variants)

[winter plover]

i probably overprioritized guns because i wanted to get 120 divs on the field

[viscid abyss]

Why do units sometimes not attack even though I have offensive lines or spearhead set and running (like they take one province then not follow the rest of the plan)

[inner sparrow]

the division still gets counted as a tank division so

[viscid abyss]

They have enough supplies and organisation

[winter plover]

tho i did micro the whole war

so my losses were minimal

[inner sparrow]

and they are tanks, no one cares if they are under different batallion name

[winter plover]

micro

the battleplanner is best for filling the front

[viscid abyss]

That’s what I end up doing

But it gets very messy

[winter plover]

if you want to fight micro

let the battleplanner keep bodies on the front you can comand the offensive's manually

eaiser to get encirclements that way

[versed rose]

Yea, they are tanks composition wise, and they benefit from tank bonuses, which is why I will always believe that artillery needing its own composition category is one of the stupidest arbitrary decisions paradox did

[winter plover]

i keep running out of fuel because the IJN devours it all

[viscid abyss]

Ok thanks

[winter plover]

how many factories on planes vs factories on guns vs everything else?

as Japan

[inner sparrow]

theres a bug how u get infinite oil as japan

[winter plover]

oh?

do tell

at least until that bug gets patched

Also again how do i put enough bodies in the front?

i wasn’t able to fill my armies until around 1940

[inner sparrow]

nvm bug only works when u have china capped

but still

just buy oil if u run out of it

[winter plover]

well still useful

[winter plover]

from who?

[inner sparrow]

doesn’t matter

[winter plover]

oh go north first

[inner sparrow]

usa

[winter plover]

i went south

as happened historically

so i picked a fight with the allies

does a SPART army work well in siberia?

the problem with southeast asia is all the jungles

[hollow linden]

Supply is mostly the issue but on paper sure whatever

Just have supply I guess

Terrain isn't real anyhow

[winter plover]

my goto is what i showed above but that was the previous update

[winter plover]

?

[hollow linden]

You can stack terrain buffs

[winter plover]

isn’t siberia more like fighting in Europe?

[hollow linden]

Just with less supply and more forests

[winter plover]

whike southeast asia is jungles jungles and more jungles

[hollow linden]

Exactly

[winter plover]

and tanks can’t fight in jungles 😭

[hollow linden]

Eh sort of

Assault engi flame tanks, rangers

As I said with the correct support companies even jungles aren't real

[winter plover]

https://tenor.com/view/fire-kill-fuego-matar-incendiar-gif-5307315

i really need to get in the habit of putting flame tanks in my assult forces

[hollow linden]

As you should

[sour wadi]

hey, whats that strat where you create one bad tank, then use that tank to make a different, better tank

[hollow linden]

Make one tank with hmg, no clicks, armor engine and suspension you want, add extra modules you want, have the turret you want and produce

[plain mason]

probably still strategic destruction (?) but maybe not maybe it's operational integrity

i havent checked it out too much

[hollow linden]

Research everything for your final tank, research conv 1 and 2 and about 6 months before war, swap to final and convert

[plain mason]

carpet bombing subdoctrine is really op too, you can get another one besides it that boosts stratbombing (with doesn't use the bomber slot)

strats deal 8x more damage now provided you do the right setup

it's ridiculous

[left mica]

that explains a lot

[hollow linden]

Oh god

So ur French just like joey :peepotroll:

[inner sparrow]

thats even more of an insult wow

Im german speaking part of switzerland, better than the french and the germans

[stark bough]

How do you impose your ideology on another country? I had the option of staging a coup and supporting a party, but that option no longer exists. What do I do?

[hollow linden]

I guess invade and puppet?

Or do you mean strictly peacefully?

[stark bough]

No, I mean diplomatically.

[hollow linden]

Oof very tedious

Almost not worth

What exactly are you trying to do as which country

[stark bough]

But how do I do that, Puppet? My wars only have the conquest cb; I want access to other cb.

@hollow linden

[ornate jackal]

Whats the proper way to invade the inner landlocked mountains of asia that are supply starved?

Building rail and supply depots to the front takes forever...is there an alternative?

[hollow linden]

.....you have the option to puppet in the peacedeal.

The type of cb doesn't matter in the slightest

[balmy siren]

hiii guys i lierally just dowloaded the game, is there any guide for italy so i can learn how to manage the army, economy, policy and some things like how to assign a division to a comander or how to extend a frontline, etc etc

[hollow linden]

There is a tutorial in game.

[balmy siren]

i did it bit it was like kinda incomplete

[glacial steeple]

hi cats

[kindred kayak]

How?

[balmy siren]

ido i just feel like i dont learn almost anything

[hollow linden]

Bittersteel has a good beginner guide for Germany, if that helps

[balmy siren]

i will take a look at that

[solar coyote]

I'm playing as the British Empire and I'm getting options to root out resistance in Japanese occupied territories. Is this a bug or something I should do?

[glass nacelle]

smone explain navy (i dont have no compromise dlc)

[wild rune]

Destroyer and light cruiser spam

[balmy siren]

is this still available, cause i dont find that

[ornate jackal]

ChatGPT gave me some pretty good advice

I used thin width mountaineers with logistics helis to push the remote mountains and it worked

[hollow linden]

That's wrong and please DO NOT ask AI for advice

[hexed parcel]

battle royale achievement didn’t fire for some reason. i declared on both china and japan within 90 days before 1940, and capped them in 1941

is it broken?

[hollow linden]

It takes reddit as a source and reddit is only a good source for a case study on misinformation

[hollow linden]

Just because it worked doesn't mean it's good

[hollow linden]

Oh shit I meant the guide from last year, not the 2021 guide

This one is extremely outdated

[balmy siren]

JHDJAHDJADHAHDA

sorry

[ornate jackal]

OK what would you have recommended?

[hollow linden]

All good

[balmy siren]

i serched and find that so i move on

[hollow linden]

36w mountaineers

Small width sf is bad

[hollow linden]

https://youtu.be/LbpWbSD6hEY?si=CK-qdiStOXChiHUJ

I meant this one

Is outdated as of this dlc but the majority should still apply

[balmy siren]

oh i will follow that then

[livid cedar]

is it worth traing infantry divisions with added tanks or is it better to train tanks separately?

[ornate jackal]

Is 36W mountaineers good even in extremely supply starved regions?

[hollow linden]

You mean mixing inf and tanks in the same template?

[hollow linden]

Just build supply hubs?

[livid cedar]

yes

[hollow linden]

Or if you're fighting in no supply, maybe dont

[hollow linden]

I mean sure, maybe use cav or mechanised though

[ornate jackal]

I didn't want to wait 1year+ for the hub to finish

[hollow linden]

It's like 120 days

[ornate jackal]

still too long.....i converted some nearby dudes into 10w mountaineers and they pushed what i needed to in a week

[hollow linden]

Very specific, but sure whatever

[livid cedar]

do you think its worth to cancel mefo bills as germany?

[edgy pendant]

Do not

[livid cedar]

alr

[hollow linden]

Not when you're already going right side eco

Left cancels it with its first focus anyway

[livid cedar]

i always to the four year plan but also i like to cancel them

[hollow linden]

What?

Like, cancel them when going fyp?

[livid cedar]

i do four year plat but cancel mefo bills

[livid cedar]

whats fyp?

[hollow linden]

That's.... so redundant

[hollow linden]

Right side eco

[livid cedar]

nah when going left

[hollow linden]

The focus does that for you but oh well

[livid cedar]

it does?

[hollow linden]

Yes oml

[edgy pendant]

Dumb decision for right side. Don’t do that

[livid cedar]

after doing that i still get that I need to manage mefo bills

[livid cedar]

dont do the right side?

[hollow linden]

Jfc

[edgy pendant]

No. Why would you cancel mefo if you go right side. Make it make sense

[livid cedar]

i cancel them and go left side

[hollow linden]

Ok but do u cancel them via decision?

When going left side?

[livid cedar]

ye

[scenic nacelle]

Bro u guys are arguing in a circle

[edgy pendant]

Bro is not understanding 😭

[livid cedar]

no

[hollow linden]

Oml

It doesn't hurt you in anyway it's just so redundant

Just keep doing what you were doing

[livid cedar]

alr

[hollow linden]

It's fine

[edgy pendant]

Canceling mefo hurts your mil production quite a bit

[scenic nacelle]

Wait hear me out

Don’t do any of the eco path

It’s not important

[hollow linden]

Does it make a difference when going left side? Like u do the focus anyway

It does the same thing

[edgy pendant]

Left side is inferior. I don’t care about that one

[hollow linden]

I guess u miss out on 70 days of mil construction

[hollow linden]

What? How kek

[edgy pendant]

Less mils for war

[hollow linden]

But better scaling long term

[glacial steeple]

you could win the game

[hollow linden]

Mefo is better in 39 and worse in 41

[glacial steeple]

no

its different now

[edgy pendant]

Yes but better IC for mp games on right side

[hollow linden]

If you don't get fastgamed, peg is better

[glacial steeple]

they made civgreed worse

[hollow linden]

Only short term

Left side is infinite scaling

[edgy pendant]

It when you need it though. Game is over by the time it ourscales

[fluid wharf]

no 4yp spawns in coal

so peg actually also worse for scale

[hollow linden]

Not really? If France doesn't fast game you, you don't need it

[peak tiger]

Need help man

[hexed parcel]

I just started shall I spend an hour reading the wiki first

I find the YouTube vids and tuts to be kinda overwhelming and unclear

[peak tiger]

Yeah dude sorry but i really need help

[edgy pendant]

Take better screenshots

[peak tiger]

Awww man

[edgy pendant]

We literally have no idea what you want help with

[scenic nacelle]

Well are u gonna tell us?…

[glacial steeple]

turkiye

hes getting invaded by uk france and greece

maybe not france but probably france

[vagrant chasm]

im getting 0 percent boost in my battle from air superiority

they have 0 planes

[peak tiger]

Im getting sacked by ussr british and greeks man

What do i do

[glacial steeple]

divide and conquer, defeat in detail

[peak tiger]

Oh right

[livid cedar]

why when I play as germany I go to war and then all my recources are -200

[hollow linden]

Maybe because you went to war with your trading partner?

[livid cedar]

ohhh

that makes sense

[vagrant chasm]

why no boost on the ground

[serene karma]

Very likely ur efficiency is near 0% bcs ur barely in range

Click the planes and see the yellow circle

[edgy pendant]

LMAO

[unreal pulsar]

Are rocket artillery worth it?

[serene karma]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/589311099674034176/1166101286417076275/IMG_1474.jpg?ex=6926b133&is=69255fb3&hm=1df1c3aa8426be7988c8664be26bcf69bdab32df2736fc9c45eedc9b694e0c3f&

[upper siren]

considering the fact we cannot see the outer line of the yellow circles I dont think that is the issue.

[serene karma]

We cant see it bcs its only visible when the planes are selected

[upper siren]

oh yeah, fair.

[hollow linden]

nooooo

Look at how they massacred my boy

[unreal pulsar]

is rocket artillery any good

[serene karma]

No

[versed rose]

can you even stack 50% soft attack on them anymore, it was at least mindless fun doing sup rocket and sup arty SFP

[silk berry]

does anyone have a clue on how i push this

i tried naval invading the us but they instantly deorged my marines even tho the battles were green

[pallid lark]

youre smoking crack if you think you can break that

just naval invade the tiles behind and encircle them

much easier

and do a pinning attack on them so they dont move out of thier

[next dock]

anyone know why my ships are useless?

[scenic nacelle]

This does supply

And Idfk what stone town is

[next dock]

ah ty

never do naval cause there is so much to researc lmao

[serene karma]

All the way down near Madagascar it seems

So far away

[verbal flax]

i have 1,3k hours in hoi4 and now that a japan dlc dropped i want to learn navy, is there any good navy guide?

[cold bloom]

Navy was reworked, I think the guides might be outdated

[verbal flax]

noone already made a new one?

also how much got reworked? ships too or only how navy overall works

[cold bloom]

Some ships can be reached earlier and some techs condensed, but mostly just balance changes

[verbal flax]

mm okay

all i did was sub spam before but i want to learn how it works now

[elfin kraken]

I have a few nukes and want to drop them, how do I do that?

[cold bloom]

Nuke raid in bottom right

[silk berry]

Theres like 20 divs on each port lol

[near hill]

i just bought the hoi4 dlc, no compromise no surrender but it doesnt show up when i launch the game even tho steam says i own it. ?

[pallid lark]

uhhh

[silk berry]

I did get a landing on the canal too but i immeadiately got killed and didnt even get a chance to counter attack

[pallid lark]

good luck

[silk berry]

Thanks

[pallid lark]

are you at war with allies?

and whats your template and doctrine?

[silk berry]

Uhh nah The Us has their own faction its a historical

[pallid lark]

mexico in the faction?

[silk berry]

Ill fetch my template in a min but im right side gbp

[silk berry]

Yeah

[pallid lark]

switch to left side for planning bonus

[pallid lark]

and try naval invading farther then

[silk berry]

I did try mexico and it was green but then my marines instantly deorged and died

I do have nukes on the go worse casw

[sinful vessel]

Is there a way to avoid that with auto plan ?

[dusty sandal]

https://tenor.com/view/omerrv-snip-snippingtool-life-hack-supertool-gif-19420393

you could use this one too

[dusty sandal]

avoid what ? divs overstacking ?

[sinful vessel]

yes

[dusty sandal]

use a fluid field marshal frontline

MAINTAIN shift key when assigning the field marshal frontline order

no more whacky general frontlines that don't adjust properly

[hot thorn]

im new to the game i i play germany and got axis alliance with italy from focus tree but how do i invite japan romania hungary

[dusty sandal]

are you using an older version of the game ? check in hoi4 properties from steam

[near hill]

i wasnt but changing it to an older version and reverting back to the new one worked. thanks for replying

[dusty sandal]

romania and hungary will join once they turn fascist (they'll do it on their own if you're on histroical AI) japan won't join as they have their own faction

[hot thorn]

thanks

[sinful vessel]

What is it doing exactly ?

[dusty sandal]

it'll make a single frontline
no more stacking general frontlines side by side, all divs will follow the same massive order

[sinful vessel]

ok nice.

[tame shore]

Does anyone know if anyone has counted or made a bot to count every terrain count in the game?

[livid cedar]

as germany, do i need to get more land?

[idle bobcat]

Did you do 4 year plan

[livid cedar]

yes

[silk berry]

Yeah you gotta gobble peoples gold supplies and get autarky

[livid cedar]

i should have done that autarky?

[coral geyser]

Yes

[livid cedar]

ok

[fluid wharf]

yes

did u not do institute price controls 😭

[tame shore]

What happens with fractional widths? Are those included in the combat width as a rounded number or just the fractional number that is displayed?

[silk berry]

im gonna assume the number thats displayed otherwise i feel like it would defeat the purpose

[tame shore]

Is just if it's 2 15.4 widths fighting a 30 tile, would that be 2 15 widths, or 1 15.4 width

[silk berry]

good question

i genuinely have no clue im not that knowledgeable w the game

[hot thorn]

when i unlock new guns and artillery they replace automatically?

[wintry matrix]

If you have a surplus, yes.
Old guns get replaced.

Otherwise divisions missing guns get the new guns first.

[hot thorn]

so i should just remove old artillery and guns from production put new in and they will replace when theres enough?

[elfin crystal]

please can someone help, my road to 56 mod is broken and ive lit tried EVERYTHING

[verbal flax]

i would suggest you go in the RT56 discord server for better help

[cerulean abyss]

i need tips for playing historical china

[zenith zephyr]

I need advice on what to do in the spanish civil war rn, the anarchist are nearly dead, the republicans are not a real problem but the nationalist with their foreign aid are gonna push me so hard, some screenshots:

[sour wadi]

does the "reset actions taken" button ever work on a peacedeal?

ive never seen it activated once

it would be so nice to use cuz i play ironman and sometimes butcher the deals w a mistake

[verbal flax]

i think it gets only reset a certain amount

not the entire peacedeal

[sour wadi]

i never get to do even that

[idle bobcat]

Republican Spain 1937 be like

[zenith zephyr]

I'm the carlist

[verbal flax]

tbf i never used it before too

[sour wadi]

its legit just "ooh you see this button here? too bad you cant use it"

[idle bobcat]

Oh right three way civil war

[zenith zephyr]

I tried a play my own, the nationalist kinda capitulated me

like in 2min

[sour wadi]

and since i did sumin dumb like give calais to the general guv instead of to the belgians, i get buggered

[verbal flax]

just take ur time with the peacedeals ig but exactly the same thing happened to me lmao

[cerulean abyss]

you need to put your understrengthed divisions south, and the fully strengthed ones in the south up north

[zenith zephyr]

like lvl 5 veterans?

I've loaded up this before save

[cerulean abyss]

republican spain's divisions are so trash that they wont be able to push your divisions in your army up north

[zenith zephyr]

the other one is unwinnable

[cerulean abyss]

you gotta swap your troops

focus your best units on fascist spain because i dont see republican spain being able to beat you at all, so just having enough divisions to guard your border with republican spain should be enough

[zenith zephyr]

ok

thanks

[cerulean abyss]

gl

you just gotta hold off the volunteer divisions because otherwise fascist spain's own divisions are also really understrength too

[charred fable]

Glorious!

[wintry matrix]

Yeah.

[hot thorn]

ok thx

[sour wadi]

they share the same flag! </3

its like tryna distinguish twins from eachother

[verbal flax]

Not the same name tho

[sour wadi]

</3

[narrow grail]

Does supply consumption affect training?

[dusty sandal]

no

[zenith zephyr]

They're melting my army

[rain iris]

can you get new officers, i am playing as france but only have 6 officers

[sour wadi]

yeah

[narrow grail]

So is there any method to reduce supply consumption in division exercising or I was baiting myself and keeping my mapuche divisions untrained before taking all supply consumption buffs?

[rain iris]

how?

[sour wadi]

you can promote generals that control your army

[cerulean abyss]

screenie?

[rain iris]

ah wait sorry, i mean new generals

[zenith zephyr]

I've reset, but my 24 division army down to 12

when the anarchist capitulate

[cerulean abyss]

thats not good

[zenith zephyr]

my frontilne just messes up

I'm in the start

[sour wadi]

the ones that you can stack 24 divisions on, right?

[zenith zephyr]

in the carlist uprising

start

[rain iris]

yes

[sour wadi]

you can promote smaller generals that control individual divisions, to generals

[cerulean abyss]

was republican spain always just super weak or did you do large offensives to weaken them earlier

[rain iris]

how do you know their stats?

[zenith zephyr]

I did some continous offensives and also a big one that took nearly all of the south-wwest

I'm thinking

1 division for republican border province

quick 21 men army into the north

then that all to aragon and catalonia

then republicans

[cerulean abyss]

dont weaken them

keep them strong and let them duke it out

maybe even retreat from the northeast to give them a wider frontline with falangist spain

if you can overextend the volunteer forces you can hit them at their weak points where you can just chip away at them until the die

[zenith zephyr]

the nationalist volunteers?

my war plan rn

[cerulean abyss]

oh boy

[cerulean abyss]

clear out the north, then hold what you got on the south rn

dont push

[zenith zephyr]

On the south ik

but they're pushing me

[cerulean abyss]

then hold

[cerulean abyss]

retreat to the river

rush the north ASAP then take your army and use it to reinforce the south

[zenith zephyr]

I'm taking part of the norht army into the south

[cerulean abyss]

gtg

ping me on how it goes

[sour wadi]

oml i hate italy with a PASSION

[pliant condor]

restart if you have to

you should finish the republicans before starting the seocnd civil war

[zenith zephyr]

Ik I've restarted like 10 times

[pliant condor]

what is your early strat

[zenith zephyr]

I can't do it that quick

[pliant condor]

you can

just need to do it correctly

[zenith zephyr]

you mean as nationalist?

[pliant condor]

yes

ok so try do 3 on eastern aragon, and then keep 1 on each of the northern states, keep the two starting mountaineers there so you take the vp day 1

when civil war begins, micro(!!!) your divs to snake into cataluna

[zenith zephyr]

you talking at like rlly start?

[pliant condor]

and encircle baercelona

[zenith zephyr]

like 1st january?

[pliant condor]

yes

or like between feb and july

which states you click

[zenith zephyr]

the southern ones

you mean

[pliant condor]

ok yes that's the issue

[zenith zephyr]

in the influence

with ticks

[pliant condor]

yes

you need to influence the correct states

there are different methods but here's the one that's easier

[zenith zephyr]

idk I wwas following bitt3rsteels' tuto

ok I restarted from scratch

which states do I influence

and by howw much

and where do I place my troops

[pliant condor]

there are two different ways and both should work

first one is you do 3 on eastern aragon, then keep 1 on bilbao and

asturias

[zenith zephyr]

trooops or influence?

[pliant condor]

keep the two starting mountaineers in bilbao and oviedo

[pliant condor]

infuence

[manic radish]

should i assign best admiral to headquarters or my fleet?

[pliant condor]

then you take the two northern city day 1 and eastern aragon

when war starts, micro your divisions to snake into cataluna and encircle barcelona

[zenith zephyr]

there's 3 starting

[pliant condor]

(and unplan the state)

[pliant condor]

?

[zenith zephyr]

wdym by unplan

[pliant condor]

do you know how to remove unplanned offensive

[zenith zephyr]

there's 3 mountaneers in the start spain

[zenith zephyr]

unplanned

[pliant condor]

just don't move any troop

[zenith zephyr]

or like planned

[pliant condor]

whatever

[zenith zephyr]

not in action

[pliant condor]

ah

do you know what unplanned offensive is

[zenith zephyr]

nope

[pliant condor]

ok so the reason spanish civil war doesn't finish in a month in the game is that in the majority of the staets

there's a modifier called unplanned offensive

[zenith zephyr]

like this?

[pliant condor]

where basically your divs make zero damage

[pliant condor]

yeah whatever

[zenith zephyr]

ohhhhhhhh

ok

Ik that

[pliant condor]

so you only push in states where you remove the modifier by clicking decision

[zenith zephyr]

yes

[pliant condor]

what you could do then is to remove the modifier on barcelona

then encircle the city(which is a port)

and then kill the division in there without taking the port

it allows you to port meme the spanish ai and kill all their divs

then it's all easy

use your good army of africa divs to push

this is the first strategy

or you can just take barcelona

it causes the anarchist to spawn in the south which significantly disrupts the republicans

[zenith zephyr]

so I kill all republicans?

[pliant condor]

well, you should capitulate them before starting the second civil war

[zenith zephyr]

ok

and I don't understand the port meme

[pliant condor]

from no compromise on carlist ideals

[zenith zephyr]

like

how do I attack

and not take port

[pliant condor]

hold alt and right click

or just let them stop moving

[zenith zephyr]

alt+click

ok

I don't want any more influence then on the map

only 3 in eastern aragon and 1 in catalonia

why 1 in catalonia?

[pliant condor]

you won't get more

[pliant condor]

no not in catalonia

in pais vasco

[zenith zephyr]

oh

ok

[pliant condor]

and asturias

[zenith zephyr]

k

[pliant condor]

because you need 1 influence for your division to take the city

with zero influence it gets tped out

[zenith zephyr]

yeah

also, are you spanish?

[pliant condor]

no

[zenith zephyr]

bcs someone saying pais vasco

not basque country

suprises me

well k

[pliant condor]

oh that's the name in the game

[zenith zephyr]

is it

[pliant condor]

i just remember

[zenith zephyr]

País vasco

yeah

k

i didn't knoww

I would use spanish names but if I use Cataluña

idk if ppl will understand

well

imma conquer spain

[pliant condor]

umm yeah that one

huh

why did i call it that

😭

[pliant condor]

there'a also a second opening you can do similar to how the ai does it, you click two influence in sevilla and two influene in extramadura, then one on cordoba. you need to do it exactly(no more). this is because the ai is scripted to not contest you with those influences

[zenith zephyr]

k

[pliant condor]

then at roughly 28 days left before the civil war you do one more in extramadura and one more in servilla

this way you take both southern states

this is the opening you see if you play the game on hist

which is the best one for the long term(more cores)

[frail sigil]

Why are my ships not building dominance here when they are in the region and patrolling

[ornate gazelle]

ships on strike force can only do one seazone

[frail sigil]

Im on patrol and I have them in the exact amount of theaters as there are sea regions

[ornate gazelle]

and the rate to get dominance is sooo slow

[frail sigil]

All my other areas built it up just fine

Its just west Indian ocean

[jagged hull]

can anyone help me it's my first time playing but when i select a country it crashes or it will crash on the loading for the main menu

[zenith zephyr]

this is 2nd opening right

and also

isn't it better to move all my troops to the north

so I get em all

[frail sigil]

The game is literally telling me I have ships in the region and that they are patrolling in said region yet im not building dominance

[ornate gazelle]

try loading a save file

maybe buggt

its stil new to the game

[pliant condor]

yes

[pliant condor]

it's not related

remember it gets tped

[zenith zephyr]

yes

k

[pliant condor]

you can have it on eastern aragon border if you like

but keep the two mountaineers in the city in the north to take them day 1

[dense flume]

hey is general skill level the number on the left or thier particular stat opposing the other generals stat?
