[ornate gazelle]

@frail sigil the ship is not in the sea zone

[frail sigil]

It is...

[ornate gazelle]

partol is also one zone

[dense flume]

like here

[hazy hinge]

when i do the spainish civil war Falange path, when i complete the 5th column focus, i dont get the desicions to do the uprisings, does anyone know why?

[zenith zephyr]

I got 49 divisions

hell yes

@pliant condor do I accept division from germany and italy?

[dense flume]

what FM skills translate the sub. generals?

[ornate gazelle]

yes

[dense flume]

any FM traits carry over to generals?

[zenith zephyr]

imma switch to carlist later on

[ornate gazelle]

o, sorry

[zenith zephyr]

I don't then

[low solstice]

Do you get free factories from the propaganda department decisions?

[digital prawn]

why am I getting a -90% from STATE?

[gusty briar]

Is there anything that prevents u from doing collab governments besides intel?

I have 2 spies on China and 70% Intel, is it a bug or am I possibly missing something, wanna just restart if its a bug

Collab government isnt even showing up on the list greyed out its just missing

Im democratic rn bc going for the civil war does that prevent collabs?

[pliant condor]

think it goes to the ai spain eventually?

probably won't matter much

[pliant condor]

50%

[pliant condor]

yes, by 100%

[pliant condor]

because of unplanned offensive

but it's good

as long as you deal 4x as much damage to the enemy division you gain xp at the highest rate

[ornate gale]

can anyone tell me how to make a good cas plane?

[plain mason]

spain during civil war has a dynamic modifier called unplanned offensive on most states. they can choose states where it won't be periodically

[pliant condor]

3 bomb lock(or heavy block lock, but don't use bomb bay)

single engine 3

extra fuelt ank

on 1936 airframe use 2 bomb lock and single engine 2 with dive brake and extra fuel

[digital prawn]

thanks!

[zenith zephyr]

@pliant condor there's 2 pockets in the north, none withoput ports, so no supply, do I just surrond them with troops and let them starve?

[pliant condor]

ignore them

yeah

[ornate gale]

this?

[pliant condor]

always use 1x engine

don't use the 2x

[ornate gale]

why?

[pliant condor]

because it's significantly cheaper

cost is the most important factor

[ornate gale]

got the mills really

[pliant condor]

better to get more planes

and it doesn't even make it any better

[zenith zephyr]

@pliant condor I got 24 units on the southern border my units still kinda struggle

[pliant condor]

did you take barcelona

[zenith zephyr]

no....

did I have to

I'm still at the start

haven't gotten rid of the buffs still

[pliant condor]

ok it's emptty

you just walk in

send a screenshot

you should have at least encircled it

[zenith zephyr]

it kinda wasn't

[pliant condor]

?? how

[zenith zephyr]

idk

[pliant condor]

move your divs day 1

[zenith zephyr]

lemme restart act

[pliant condor]

send a screenshot

[zenith zephyr]

I got counter encircled

I got this

I march my 1 turret thingy

tro barcelona

but I encounter another troop

an example

of what happenes

is this good enough?

@pliant condor

[ornate gale]

thet are all getting shot down

well not my fighters

my fighters are good

[alpine plinth]

how do i research sp artillery?

[dense flume]

under the artillery tab and vehicles

need to get half tracks and make your own template

oh basicly edit a tank template add a support gun and then change the role to artillery

what do I need to do or get for irregulars/milita units?

[unreal pulsar]

amtracks count as both mech and special forces (thereby getting buffs for both mech and specs)???

[vernal hull]

I just got the game anyone know a decent country to learn the game on

[dense flume]

The tutorial(italy) or Germany

[zenith zephyr]

@pliant condor I kinda do need forces in the south to make the republicans be spluit

[fluid axle]

How do i fix this

[pliant condor]

remove unplanned offensive on it

then you can push

and move the army of africa there don't forget

[pliant condor]

your fighter should shot down all their fighters

if not you shouldn't be making CAS

[ornate gale]

AA

[pliant condor]

put your cursor over the airwing's mission efficiency

then you see what is affecting it

[fluid axle]

How

Ok 57 now but still not getting air superiority its still just gray for no reason

Looks like i have it but not turning green why?

[pliant condor]

not this

go to your air map

[fluid axle]

Oh is ee

Fixed and i have air superiority but its not turning green

[pliant condor]

click on the airwing

and hover over the thing

you see what is affecting it

[pliant condor]

put more fighters then

[fluid axle]

Yeah why isnt it turning green

to show i have it

[pliant condor]

also clicking this thing

instantly give you 10 efficiency forfree

[fluid axle]

Wherre

[pliant condor]

on the airzone

[ornate gazelle]

restart the game, it is also a bugg that is happening a lot to me

[pliant condor]

left of the plane numbers

[fluid axle]

Aahh okay

[zenith zephyr]

ALrdy did

[zenith zephyr]

also did

[fluid axle]

How do i get naval dominance

i cant

[ornate gazelle]

do you use partol?

only one task force can do 1 tile at the time

[icy yoke]

i want land from finland for an acheivement how do i remove this

[hexed parcel]

Anyone know the best way to grind sub doctrines by any chance

[dense flume]

one better what console commands for sub doctrine boost?

[stark bough]

I was fighting and suddenly a warning came in that several regions on my front line were out of supplies. What do I do?

[analog maple]

is this a good division design for soviet mp

[fluid wharf]

For sp no

[analog maple]

i said mp lol

[fluid wharf]

Oh

Yea

And do deep battle

[analog maple]

ok thx

[fluid wharf]

For reinforce rate

[stark bough]

.🙏🏻

[fluid wharf]

Also cut down to 35.7

40w will only have 1 div enter combat in forest tiles

And aa

[versed rose]

his template gets to 34w once he gets the cw node

he actually needs 1 more inf

[analog maple]

like this?

[fluid wharf]

Plus 1 more inf

[analog maple]

ok tysm

[versed rose]

do not forget to add 3 more inf once you get combat width reduction

[fluid wharf]

Also depending if u want to battleplan or push u can choose between gbp and sfp

Sfp give good org recov 0.4 from operation iirc and 0.2 from tanks

Well gbp give more planning

[fluid axle]

Dude i still cant push anything

no matter

what i do

[spark swallow]

Build cas

Then you will push everything

[fluid axle]

How

im trying to in production but it doesnt seem like im actually doing it

I dont think im researching enough either

[copper birch]

Is this a good template for Axis as Spain?

[wheat pine]

I'm having a problem with the Proclaim Greater Germany decision. After I cap USSR, I can't take it because it says all my owned states aren't controlled

[neat widget]

40-width mod?

[neat widget]

Spain typically acts as D-Day wall in MP

Which means 35-width or 36-width mech

[copper birch]

I meant for SP, not MP

[neat widget]

is this pre-dlc or post-dlc

[copper birch]

post dlc

[copper birch]

Take Bohemia idk

[neat widget]

Yeah no

[copper birch]

Nvm its a bug

[neat widget]

It's not a bug

They're missing Armenia and Iranian Azerbaijan

[copper birch]

A

[neat widget]

Also Greenland is a common one

Ideally you should do this before you capitulate the Soviet Union to avoid the "all owned states being fully controlled" issue

i.e. before you own all of these states

[open radish]

Guys, I need help. Cant cope HOI4 anymore 😭

I cant do a proper division

[glacial steeple]

youre playing germany one of the most statbloated nations and you have a 1-2 k/d ratio

[neat widget]

I'm not good at war thunder tbh

[glacial steeple]

thats crazy

use better generals, use air

[copper birch]

3K DIVISIONS WHAT

[glacial steeple]

dont battleplan with just bad infantry

[neat widget]

Like when I played I kept getting killed

[neat widget]

Show me what it looks like right now

[opaque garden]

why are all my bubbles red😭 😭 😭

[copper birch]

First of all your divisions have no supply

[copper birch]

How did you make so many divisions dam

[neat widget]

I mean, battleplanning does that

[opaque garden]

is this good?

[glacial steeple]

you expect the game to win itself but you have to put some effort in

[neat widget]

Germany is totally capable of making like 500 divisions

[glacial steeple]

youre just not playing the game well at all

ofc youre gonna lose

[copper birch]

Ik, but no 3K

[opaque garden]

then pls help

what am I doing wrong here

[glacial steeple]

i told you

bad division, no airforce, no good general

[opaque garden]

I have 27m they have 3m

[glacial steeple]

okay who cares

its not a quantity game

[opaque garden]

I outnumber them 9to1

😭 😭 😭

yet im still losing

[glacial steeple]

.

more units dont just win because more units

[opaque garden]

oh no im losing 50k

this is bad

how do I fix my industry?

pls help

@glacial steeple I need your help

please

[neat widget]

produce more guns?

[opaque garden]

I have 105 mills on guns

is that not enough

maxed efficiency

[open radish]

start playing with a bad nation such as britain and learn from your mistakes. Im usually 1st in all match, because I suffered a lot to learn

[opaque garden]

with concentrated

[glacial steeple]

i play japan/hungary mostly

[open radish]

Thanks! Well, I usually play as: Brazil, Finland, Germany and Britain (Japan sometimes)

[neat widget]

Yeah, and watching a lot of war thunder videos and the like

[open radish]

Tbh, videos dont work much

[neat widget]

I haven't played much war thunder ever, but from my world of warships days it took me years to just get like somewhat better than average

[open radish]

Japan has very shit tanks, but air is goat

[open radish]

First, is understanding your nation's gameplay

And from personal experience, getting good with bad tanks is meta

Britain, for an example

Shit armor

Shit ammo

[neat widget]

Nah Britain has pretty good tanks

They have infantry MIO

[open radish]

MIO?

[glacial steeple]

i like the tanks

[open radish]

They're kinda bad in Wt

[neat widget]

OH

OH

Right

[open radish]

There's some who are pretty good

[glacial steeple]

actually i have like the Chi-To and Chi-To late which should be decent i think

[neat widget]

Yeah British tanks in war thunder aren't that good by and large (but yeah there are good ones later in the tree)

[glacial steeple]

im not very good with them though

[open radish]

Middle to top.tier is ok

[open radish]

I can teach you guys to play, if you both want

Im kinda of a WT crackhead

[plain mason]

I didn't know that this was #ask-for-help-war-thunder

[glacial steeple]

it doesnt specify which game actually

[glacial steeple]

i mean my main issue is just not having great spacial awareness/sight i feel

and also idk what button the rangefinder is

[neat widget]

Yeah

[opaque garden]

what am i doing wrong to deserve this

[open radish]

I can help with that, its all about being careful

And regarding the rangefinder, you gotta assing it by yourself

[neat widget]

I mean you are taking Minsk

[plain mason]

can you help me in how to get a girlfriend in habbo hotel

[neat widget]

That's quite nice

[open radish]

Thats is of no use, WT makes you happy better

[opaque garden]

ye I think i should be taking Minsk indeed

[inner sparrow]

@glacial steeple how do I get guns

[glacial steeple]

international market

[plain mason]

the screenshot was glitched for me and it showed only the big ahh part

[inner sparrow]

joever

💀

[glacial steeple]

i dont think thats allowed

nsfw

[plain mason]

damn cops

[inner sparrow]

1984

[glacial steeple]

i think the most impressive thing i did was kill an avenger with the M16 MGMC but im NOT careful lol

[plain mason]

The most impressive thing I did in war thunder was die

[glacial steeple]

waw cool

[inner sparrow]

somewhere out in the world theres probably a person even failing to load up the game

[neat widget]

I mean there probalby is

[glacial steeple]

theres been people who didnt know how to speed it up

[open radish]

British avenger?

[glacial steeple]

yeah

[open radish]

Its a decent tank

I like the cromwell

And the firefly

But spitfires are my love

[glacial steeple]

yeah but i killed it with like

no piercing

[open radish]

I once got 8 in air realistic

[open radish]

How? Lmaoo

[glacial steeple]

with this thing from a hill on the side

did not know it even had that weakspot

[open radish]

Ooooooh

.50 cal

I mean, depending on the angle

[open radish]

You attacked from the top?

[glacial steeple]

uhh yes

i dont rlly like the M16 its a bit of a sadly armed vehicle

but that was very silly

[open radish]

Makes sense

[glacial steeple]

do you not understand that having that many bad infantry units is bad

[open radish]

You can kill a T34 witg .50 attacking from the top

I did this several times with american planes

[opaque garden]

I have like 4k duv against their 300

[glacial steeple]

yeah and thats awful

[opaque garden]

why?

[glacial steeple]

because combat width is limited

[open radish]

Thats what I dont understand hoi4 (one of the many things). What kind of units should I use?

[glacial steeple]

you cant cramp infinite units in battles

they have like no offensive stats

no air cover i imagine

bad generals so they get even less attacking stats

[opaque garden]

yes more units more attack

[open radish]

Btw, I have no idea of how width works

[glacial steeple]

no, like, it sucks

[neat widget]

True

[glacial steeple]

they dont attack more than a proper army

less, in fact

[neat widget]

Also those units will face stacking penalties if you attack with more than 5 (+ 3 for each extra direction) units

[opaque garden]

oh thats why they're doing 8dmg

[neat widget]

Not the only reason

You should click the bubble and hover over their attack modifiers

[opaque garden]

oh no intel advantage staking penalty out of supply river crossing in multiple combat entenchment air superiority shore bombardment

theyre like all negative
too

am I allowed to swear in this server?

[glacial steeple]

no :/

but yeah thats the issue with your untis they are very bad at attacking

[spark swallow]

What do you mean

I would need a little more detail to help you

[spark swallow]

Swear words you aren’t allowed to use are automodded

[fluid axle]

I build them but doesnt look like im Getting ang at all when i Open the menu

[pliant condor]

build what

planes?

they automatically reinforce into the existing airwings so you would get the old ones in your stockpile

same for other deployed equipmetns

[fluid axle]

Oh ol

[wanton sonnet]

Very specific question, I'm played as Monarchist Bulgaria and I've gotten quick enough at rushing down the political tree to snag Italy as an ally before they join Germany. But I've noticed despite refusing to accept Italy's call to arms I keep ending up fighting the Allies. Is there a scripted war event for Bulgaria? Is there no way for me to just fight the Germans or the Soviets instead without joining the allies?

[raven snow]

Is it better to focus on refitting existing ships before building new ones

[copper birch]

What year do you joining the war

[wanton sonnet]

About 1940ish

[balmy dawn]

So, in this new era, what's the Army Doctrine equivalent of going "Mass Mobility - Right Side"

[pliant condor]

sfp and large unit tactic

to a certain extent

and deep battle

[balmy dawn]

yeah, it's a little muddy

[pliant condor]

it's better to build new ships first, then refit existing ones

so the higher level MIO would apply on your older ships

in general only do refit to add MIO to your important ships(capitals/light cruisers) and don't touch anything other than adding/replacing modules with secondary\

[hasty belfry]

Are 36 width marines good?

[mental herald]

Somebody has the problem of the ship names?

[quasi girder]

If you upgrade an MIO and it has the auto upgrade setting checked it just wipes the ship name

So you gotta manually reassign the ship name its annoying as

[spark swallow]

Yes just not into mountains

[hasty belfry]

As in amphibious landings onto mountains?

[spark swallow]

Or just normal attacks

Mountaineer marines are better if landing

Normal marines are good for rivers marshes and jungles if you have the jungler upgrade

[raven snow]

so dont refit stuff?

[wintry arch]

Guys can somebody explain to me why I suck at wars

I understand the basics of war, like encirclment I just keep getting red

I also understand the basics of doctirnes, and the division template

[raven snow]

you got an airforce?

[wintry arch]

yeah I think a tiny bit of it

I deleted it because I was going to go to a civil war + they were horrible

But I kept some

[raven snow]

have you made no planes since then?

[wintry arch]

No....

[raven snow]

theres your issue

there are plane designs in the pinned msgs

the important ones are cas and fighters

cas is king

[wintry arch]

I don't have that dlc

[raven snow]

ah

[wintry arch]

All free dlc's and gotterdamurung

Is what i have

[raven snow]

there are still cas in vanilla right

havent played in a while

[wintry arch]

lemme check

[raven snow]

pretty sure there are

[wintry arch]

Ye

[raven snow]

cool

cas is awesome

also fighters to get air superiority

[wintry arch]

How do I know where and when to attack?

[raven snow]

Wherever you have cas for one

Also Wherever the line is weak

Like less divisions or favorable terrain

[cursive dawn]

what should i do here

[neat widget]

idk tbh you could retreat but other than that idk

[stark bough]

I was fighting and suddenly a warning came in that several regions on my front line were out of supplies. What do I do?

[devout ocean]

Improve supply lines to your generals, have they taken over a tile that has railways or supply hubs? Got enough trucks trains?

[stark bough]

I have many trucks and trains, but I don't know where to improve the supply lines. I'll check now if they've captured any hubs or railways yet.

[devout ocean]

Yeah that might be why.

If they have, take them back.

If its to shit, try bleeding them out with defences.

And make sure you got air superiority (If you do)

[full pulsar]

How do you cross the English channel as Germany in the new dlc? I have no idea how this new system works. Can you still bomb the royal naval or?

[worthy saffron]

Legit question can I join someone’s multiplayer game if they are hosting and have the dlc does it work the same as ck3?

[wild rune]

Yes

Though you can not host then as you don't have the dlcs

[glacial steeple]

you can

everyone will play with dlcs of host is more the thing

[wild rune]

I meant after a save has been made

You can't use the save from the host's game

As you don't have the dlc

[kind pewter]

Whats an example of a space marine div?

[raw fossil]

whats the best graphics mod

[wild rune]

I love TNO map mod Night 24/7 and Dark oceans

[wild rune]

An infantry unit with a tank in it

Like 8/1s

With 8 inf and a heavy tank

[balmy dawn]

Anyone know what the Ile De France unit is?

Im guessing a heavy tank?

[wild rune]

I forgot my bad

[balmy dawn]

Co-Pilot says they're Heavy Tanks. Just curious. I kinda need the Land Fort tree to win as France

[solar coyote]

How do I decomission a ship design?

[wild rune]

Whichever one gives the -10% ic reduction to guns

[balmy dawn]

That's the other one, lol

[wild rune]

Click green button or make a new template which auto does that I think

[wild rune]

Damn

Just win

[balmy dawn]

I suck. I haz needz forts

[solar coyote]

I see, thanks!
Is there any reason why I should keep producing Basic Submarines instead of Cruiser Submarines?

[wild rune]

No

[wild rune]

If you have enough guns then you can just make more inf

[balmy dawn]

Fair

[solar coyote]

Alright then
Also can you bring back divisions after you decomission them?

[balmy dawn]

Not at the moment, though

[wild rune]

Not if you press the red button

Wait

No

If you press the red button then you can't bring back div templates

But if you press green button you can bring them back by showing decommissioned

[wild rune]

You're going to switch to gun 2 or 3 eventually

And more quality guns is better than forts

[solar coyote]

Okay thank you!!

Converted Battleship -> Carrier
Basic Heavy Ship -> Heavy Cruiser
Early Cruiser -> Light Cruiser
Is this right?

[wild rune]

@glacial steeple help the people

I need to go

Brb

[glacial steeple]

for supremacy its based on manpower in shi

p

thats the highlighted number

it doesnt represent combat strenght/power

[solar coyote]

Oh no, I mean are these the names for them. Like a converted battleship is the earliest version of a carrier, is it not?

I'm just confused whether Heavy Ships are Battleships or Heavy Cruisers

[glacial steeple]

i also wouldnt really focus on your navy as france

[glacial steeple]

battleships

or battlecruisers

but not heavy cruisers

[solar coyote]

I'm planning on going Fascist and getting the New World Order so I'll have to naval invade Britain at some point 😭

[glacial steeple]

its not important

[solar coyote]

So how do you get heavy cruisers? Which research?

[glacial steeple]

you should focus on defeating germany/mainland europe first

[versed rose]

Cruiser research

[glacial steeple]

you start with all relevant tank techs

just focus on your economy

[versed rose]

but yes, France's navy is pretty irrelevant

[glacial steeple]

with the german and italian navies you can invade the uk

[solar coyote]

I'll be allying with them 😇
That would be the easiest way to turn the whole world fascist on historical right?

[versed rose]

no, easiest way would be playing as UK and going fascist

[solar coyote]

Is it still viable to deathstack your navy with the new DLC?

[glacial steeple]

not really because it relies on the ai successfully cooperating with you and not killing their eco with consumer goods

both will happen

[kind pewter]

K

[glacial steeple]

i mean if you have the fuel for it

strike force costs fuel too now

[versed rose]

fascist UK gets you 2 achievements too

both One Empire and New World Order

[wild rune]

do you got it now?

[glacial steeple]

oh its for the archievement

[solar coyote]

That's a fair point but I did want to start learning the navy and this seemed like a good way to do it
Also I don't think you can ally the Germans as Fascist britain

[glacial steeple]

yeah the uk is a way better option for it

[glacial steeple]

you conquer everyone

why would you wanna ally the germans

[solar coyote]

I heard Germany easily destroys everyone with the new update

[versed rose]

if you play them

[glacial steeple]

as a player yes

the ai doesnt know how to get doctrines

[versed rose]

ai sucks, go kill them

[solar coyote]

I don't know anything about tanks, planes or ships 😭
All I know is I train a lot of troops, put them on a frontline and tell them to go fetch me the enemy capital 🙏

[solar coyote]

Oh now that's interesting

[glacial steeple]

as in they technically know how to but it takes them 20 billion years

[glacial steeple]

yeah then france is just about the worst possible nation for you to play

[versed rose]

did they train before

[solar coyote]

In the one or two games I've played, it seems like army XP is not that important for doctrines anymore? I just have to keep training my army to get mastery

[glacial steeple]

they dont have the industry or manpower for a lot of troops but can make very high quality ground units

[versed rose]

ik ai always struggled with army xp, but it wasnt as bad as this mastery drought

[solar coyote]

Oof 💀
Maybe I should do a Fascist Britain playthrough then

[glacial steeple]

they dont exercise enough idk if they do it

[solar coyote]

Yeah before the update I NEVER exercised my troops but now it has become important to me

And it makes sense that the nations of the world would train and exercise their troops 😆

[kind pewter]

Yeah

[versed rose]

@glacial steeple iirc you said torp dds were a thing with new torpedo attack buffs, which doctrine do you take. Patrol Boats or Torpedo Primacy

[solar coyote]

I'm thinking if I add an anti-air support company, this would be a good defensive template. What should I add to make this an offensive template (or should I focus on a tank based template for offensives)?

[hasty belfry]

What’s a good port defense template?

[rustic acorn]

always plan to attack mainly with tanks

use your inf as shield

and tank as sword

add air

[solar coyote]

What should I add in this default tank template to make it a viable attack template?

[rustic acorn]

get org higher by motorized or mech

keep balance between tanks and mot/mechs

[wild rune]

yeah replace light tanks with mediums or heavys @solar coyote

[rustic acorn]

no dont

[wild rune]

?

lights give like no armor

[solar coyote]

That will be in like 1938 right? Not at the start of the game

I don't have mediums researched

[rustic acorn]

lights are cheap and work fine for Poland and Francer

[wild rune]

false

[solar coyote]

I'm playing as UK and I'm probably going to have to go up against the Germans and the US as well

[rustic acorn]

stick to lights first

[stuck garnet]

How do i like

How do i prepare for war tbh

[rustic acorn]

swop to heavy once you can afford

[wild rune]

dont make tanks til then or put some mils on a IW med to get efficiency then swap to ur new one

[solar coyote]

Any suggestions for modifications to be made when I research basic mediums in 1938?

[wild rune]

Mediums are better than lights or heavys unless going for an armor meme

[alpine dove]

How do people get over 25% faction influence as communist China?

[wild rune]

what cannons do you have

[wild rune]

using that one division exploit that gives insane initiative and pushing in the war with those

[solar coyote]

Small cannon, automatic cannon and Basic heavy cannon so far but I'm assuming by 1938 I'll be researching better cannons?

[wild rune]

@glacial steeple help i dont have the game open rn

[rustic acorn]

Casey has my trust

med cannon, I would recommendf

[wild rune]

Med Howi

imo

[solar coyote]

Is it advisable to switch the light tanks to interwar mediums in the template, since I am switching light tank production to interwar mediums?

[wild rune]

?

in production you mean?

[solar coyote]

Should I do this is what I mean

[wild rune]

no

just don't use that template yet

[solar coyote]

So make a new medium tank template in 1938 then?

[wild rune]

convert everything to inf

and then start outputting tanks in 38

[wild rune]

essentially

wait no

use the motorized template and add Mediums onto that

saves xp that way iirc

[solar coyote]

So something like this?

[wild rune]

yeah

but make it 36w

[solar coyote]

This is quite a hefty division if this is what you mean

Not that it matters - army XP is more freely available now that I don't have to use it for every level of army doctrine I suppose

And I'm guessing I'm not supposed to put out a full army group of this unit either 😆

[raven snow]

how good is refitting

[solar coyote]

Option two?

[vital geode]

Can be really good

Make something mediocre into something useful

[red mesa]

wtf is your tank design?

[vital geode]

Dont refit guns, armor, or engines

[cerulean crow]

I used a very similar template it’s good but extremely costly

[solar coyote]

I just took the default motorized template for Britain and added mediums as advised

[red mesa]

yeah I know that. That's the division

I mean the tank

[solar coyote]

You mean the design for the medium tank?

[solar coyote]

This one?

[red mesa]

yes, that's why I said tank design

oh lawd

that sucks

[solar coyote]

Sorry, I genuinely know 0 stuff about tanks and still don't properly know the terms yet

[vital geode]

Historical British tanks might have been better.

[solar coyote]

It's the default template Britain starts with - any suggestions?

[vital geode]

Wait, that is an interwar medium

[cerulean crow]

Get Christie suspension, gas engine, wet ammunition storage, and 3 man turrent

[vital geode]

Dont use interwar mediums

[wild rune]

no

[solar coyote]

I'm not planning to but I'll have to wait till 1938 to research normal mediums

[vital geode]

Dont produce garbage

[solar coyote]

I was advised to produce interwars till then and then switch to keep the efficiency

[wild rune]

this is better

[raven snow]

how else should i refit them then

[vital geode]

You dont keep efficiency by switching from interwar to basic

[wild rune]

i said maybe

not that u have to

[vital geode]

Radars, fire control, AA

Cheaper modules

[raven snow]

can i replace the guns with aa

[scenic nacelle]

research ahead of time

[vital geode]

I dont see why you want to

Guns are good

Maybe secondary batteries to dual purpose

[solar coyote]

It says it'll take me 613 days - is it advisable to keep a research slot tied up for this in the early game?

[vital geode]

Mid 1937 research medium tanks

[cerulean crow]

also UK has good airforce

[vital geode]

Should be enough time to produce some tanks

[solar coyote]

Okay I see, so wait till I research mediums to produce them and improve the template in the meantime?

[solar coyote]

Will do

[vital geode]

You make the tank template when you get the new tanks

[solar coyote]

Oh wait, I suppose I can't improve the interwar template to apply it to the basic

[solar coyote]

I'll save up a bit of army XP for that then

[versed rose]

why are you guys advising him to make mediums, just go SPG smh

20 gorillion buffs in update

normal tanks are dead in SP

[solar coyote]

What's an SPG? 💀

[vital geode]

You can always use regular tanks in singleplayer

They work well

[versed rose]

anything works in SP, especially now that ai doesnt have any doctrines

[vital geode]

I pushed a couple full org divisions with a tank that had like 5 org remaining from continuously driving

[versed rose]

and that isnt a reason to not use SPGs with their stupid new values

[solar coyote]

I'm assuming (and hoping) that will get fixed soon 🙏

[vital geode]

Do they not gain mastery or something

[versed rose]

ai doesnt excercise

[vital geode]

Or do they not click the subdoctrine

Oh

[versed rose]

they dont even get first node

[solar coyote]

So you're suggesting a medium tank support company?

[vital geode]

Wait, does exercising empty tank divisions gain mastery for the tank subtree

[versed rose]

yes

its a bug apparently

[vital geode]

SPGs are artillery tanks

[versed rose]

and paradox will fix

[vital geode]

They are their own thing

[full pulsar]

How do you cross the English channel as Germany in the new dlc? I have no idea how this new system works. Can you still bomb the royal naval or?

[vital geode]

You can still bomb. But you need to patrol

[solar coyote]

Oh Lord, now where do I even find them 😭

[vital geode]

The kriegsmarine cant just sit in port

[wild rune]

yes

[full pulsar]

The British always obliterate my patrol

[vital geode]

Give your tank a certain type of armament, like close support gun or howitzers and then give them the artillery role

[vital geode]

Guess you should have invested in the kriegsmarine more

Or do an air lion

[full pulsar]

Germany naval game 😨

[vital geode]

They are quite fun actually

[full pulsar]

it seems fun

[vital geode]

Germany can build a really nice fleet as its base templates are quite nice

[full pulsar]

What should I focus on for a Germany naval game

[vital geode]

If you have gotterdammerung, you can get raeder as leader

[full pulsar]

I do

[vital geode]

Just invest in some dockyards and go down plan z

[full pulsar]

alright

will I be able to threaten the British navy

will my ships actually dent their navy

[versed rose]

1939 tech that you can hardrush by mid 1937 btw

[alpine dove]

Wdym?

[wild rune]

there is a doctrine that com china can choose

[solar coyote]

Alright, I shall see if I can go for this - I should try to get basic mediums instead of interwar mediums though when the time comes right?

[wild rune]

which gives insane initiative making the division broken

[versed rose]

basic is an improvement, but you really dont need it

[wild rune]

you can then push with that getting war support

[alpine dove]

What template

[wild rune]

@glacial steeple rant about basics being better than IWs

[wild rune]

Millitias

like above 5 militias in your div and you already have 100% initiative

[alpine dove]

U take crazy losses though

[stuck garnet]

How far in untill you dont need it?

[solar coyote]

What is the fourth module at the top there? It looks like a tank itself

[alpine dove]

Also do you win the border conflicts as them?

[wild rune]

yeah I never said that was ur limit

you can put like 18 in a division for 36w militias

[wild rune]

just win?

[alpine dove]

Can’t make good enough divs to win those before Japan invades

[wild rune]

Train all the time gng

[loud ridge]

braindead ahhh game bro why is this division walking through a losing fight 😭

[lucid torrent]

Armor skirt, unlock by research amor 2

[young hill]

Cos its not in the battle, the battle needs to restart for it to enter the battle

[glacial steeple]

huh

its better ofc

wait

its mediums

nvm

who cares about basic mediums

[wild rune]

damn

[glacial steeple]

i thought you meant heavies

[wild rune]

my fault

[alpine dove]

@glacial steeple have u or anyone else figured out the new meta for the new dlc?

[glacial steeple]

is it because people always post mediums as basics

so ur like wow it must be better

the reason you have those in mp is because for germany the tech time of getting basic medium is faster than arty techs to get howitzer module

and same for italy but they get howi 2 on improved med

[wild rune]

yes and i remember u arguing that basic heavies is better

[glacial steeple]

but usually they still use iws

cuz you just convert

[wild rune]

so i thought that applied to mediums

[glacial steeple]

no

iw heavies are bad because of their speed being actually just too low

and basic heavies are day 1 tech

no mio but still

[wild rune]

with mio it would be worse

as inf mio gives -5% speed

hrmm

[loud ridge]

doesn’t every division on a tile join if it’s a defensive battle? Isn’t that the whole point of pinning attacks

[young hill]

Not necessarily

Sometimes bug happens where not all divs r in battle

[wild rune]

I hate this bug

[young hill]

Or they were attacking when the ai started attacking you (would be trying to go to a tile behind and has to go through ur tile) so when its battle stops it just doesnt join the defensive battle

[young hill]

Also just press h on the division, when the battle ends a new one will start with that fully orgged div

[loud ridge]

nah that didnt work, that division was redeploying off the tile despite ongoing defensive battle which was losing

[young hill]

Thats why I said press h

You dont listen to ur frontline

[loud ridge]

nah i pressed h and it just started walking again

h is to stop right

[young hill]

Your frontline just goes "that tile can be attacked by 3 directions so I must go there"

[young hill]

Yes thst happens, just make sure to press h repeatedly so it never moves out of tile or just unassign it

Like frontlines when u have so little divs will not be perfect

[loud ridge]

all the frontline shenanigans can be solved by having many shorter frontlines but im too lazy to do allat 😭

[young hill]

You just have to deal with it and actually micro

[young hill]

Or just have more divisions

U have so many divisions doing jack shit

Send them there

[loud ridge]

nah i remember as soviets one time i did a single field marshal frontline with a lot of divisions and they would redeploy from halfway across the front and create gaps

[young hill]

Fix this

[young hill]

Thats your cohesion settings and it's a problem cos u somehow don't have enough divisions

[loud ridge]

aight chill bro 😭

[young hill]

The more divs you have the less chance ai frontline ruins you

[loud ridge]

the 16 divs are the crap island garrisons and the 13 is cav/tank divs u start with so they kinda suck

[young hill]

So?

Put them on the front or convert their template

[loud ridge]

saving them trust

[young hill]

Its better to have divisions so u can actually push

Than lack the ability to push cos ur front is too wide

[loud ridge]

nah trust the strat is to hold some territory in china and just farm army xp for 4 years and then push with a large army

[glacial steeple]

ive run a 1 unit per 6 tiles frontline before and cohesion saved me fr fr

[young hill]

Or you can use your hands?

[glacial steeple]

the issue with frontline cohesion is that they feel obligated to about equally cover every tile

not every tile is equal

[young hill]

It is doe!

[glacial steeple]

like you wouldnt need more than 1 guy on a mountain tile next to a supply desert

theyre not gonna push you wouldnt need 3 there

but on a plains full supply tile you might need 5, 6

10

[glacial steeple]

hows the manchuing going

[young hill]

God is on germany so I have gone France

I must fight God

[teal fog]

so now we need 2 fleets per naval zone?

🐋

🥲

[glacial steeple]

do you?

[neat widget]

basically they're saying one on strike force and the other on patrol

[teal fog]

idk

[teal fog]

just 2 doesnt seems to work

[neat widget]

but you need one fleet per role per region

[teal fog]

thats too many fleets to handle 🥺

[glacial steeple]

no ?

only patrol is locked to 1 zone

[loud ridge]

how do manage my navy as japan? Am i supposed to spam fuel silos cos i cannot afford to run my entire navy at once 😭

[neat widget]

Oh right

Then it's N + 1 where the number of regions is N

[glacial steeple]

just dont use it unless you need it

for like taking indonesia or going into africa and stuff

maaybe invading shanghai

japan went to war with the allies because their oil imports got embargoed

and it was the best out of all bad options to maybe make the US back down out of war with a decisive strike on hawaii

and in game that means you have no fuel

and need to be somewhat careful with it

[split scaffold]

does the reorganized national government of the republic of china not get cores on chinese territory...?

[neat widget]

I imagine it's just a fancy reichskommissariat

[split scaffold]

oh noooooooooo.

[neat widget]

but idk

Knowing Chinese people they would not accept such a state of affairs

[split scaffold]

i mean, sure, thats a valid point

but from a gameplay perspective, whats the point? when Japan gets some pretty good compliance game buffs?

[glacial steeple]

it can get cores

[glacial steeple]

none

[split scaffold]

how

[glacial steeple]

idk

i saw it get cores before

[loud ridge]

here i thought i would be having big decisive fights in the pacific but idk if i have enough fuel for that 😭 Guess i’ll just pop the fleet for some supremacy now and then

[split scaffold]

just need one.

[glacial steeple]

irl IJN experience

[neat widget]

unfortunate

[kindred kayak]

What are the chances of china saying yes when requesting the return of Qingdao when doing the germany monarchy path

[split scaffold]

ive never seen them say no

[kindred kayak]

They told me no so I had to restart

[plush dagger]

What am I doing wrong?

Is it the skeleton one?

[kindred kayak]

You playing MD?

[plush dagger]

That's the top 2

Are they incompatible with everything else?

[kindred kayak]

No its good, I enjoy md its really fun, but has it been updated for the new update?

[plush dagger]

Nov 22

[kindred kayak]

It could be an issue with the mods, when does it usually crash?

[plush dagger]

The oldest one he is that last one, March 6th

Literally when I'm 1/3 of the way into loading a game (after I hit start)

[kindred kayak]

Try removing one mod at a time and loading the game till you find the problem

[plush dagger]

I started with the 6th one

[kindred kayak]

Wdym

[plush dagger]

in that list

6th mod

Last one in the list

[kindred kayak]

You started with removing it and reloading the game?

[plush dagger]

Yes

I'm down to 4 mods

[kindred kayak]

Try the other one's

You try all 6?

[plush dagger]

The top 2 here are the last ones

If i hit save and play for the US and I crash again I'm done

[kindred kayak]

Maybe its a problem with both the outdated one's

[plush dagger]

I'm in

[peak tiger]

i lost libya

[inland frost]

so is there still an event for China where if you kick Japan out of the mainland the war ends? I'm playing Communist China and me and my faction kicked out Japan but the war is still continuing.

or do I have to wait for the US to capitulate them? I remember playing communist china before and there being an event to end the war

[glacial steeple]

only for kmt china

assuming theyre with you

[inland frost]

yeah im in the Chinese United front

I'm playing historical too so I feel like China should've gone for peace, just wondering if they removed that event or something

[glacial steeple]

@pliant condor agony

[radiant dirge]

I need help on how to get emperes nagako as leader of japan

Like what i have to pick in events

[sinful vessel]

First time i see this (first time i win a war for a long time ^^). What are these "constestations", and what to do with ?

[wild rune]

imagine actually playing the new content instead of the 40th poland run of your career

[glacial steeple]

im bad but look aqt my encirclement

[wild rune]

donut ahh encirclement

bro really got encircled

but ur aura is still immaculate casey

as you got an even bigger encirclement out of it

[hexed parcel]

Battle of the bulge simplified

[radiant dirge]

This is late 1941 and it was over 1 milion

[neat widget]

for me it's iran

basically i use iran as a testbed to see whether things seem doable

[iron harness]

why can't i assign my admiral to multiple regions? i want to project naval superiority so that japs can't naval invade me

[whole cradle]

new dlc update

cant anymore

[iron harness]

oh

so i have to focus them on one region only?

[whole cradle]

yes have multiple now and one for each region

[iron harness]

i thought that was a bug lol, thanks

[alpine dove]

is it a better idea to form united front or invade china with japan as commuist china?

[sleek ether]

Quick question when i put my trups to trainning there will be red skull why?

[wild rune]

That is the troops attritioning

which loses equipment

[sleek ether]

But they becemo stronger?

[wild rune]

yes

that is because they are training with that equipment

[sleek ether]

So thats normal

[wild rune]

yes

[sleek ether]

Alr thx

[ember pagoda]

How do you get Yan An?

Is it from a decision?

[feral trail]

wtf is this

[cold bloom]

The fleet isnt active as indicated by 0/1

[feral trail]

how do i make it active

[hexed parcel]

Anyone know the best way to grind sub doctrines by any chance pls

[feral trail]

im not understanding this new navy update for god sake

why is it still 0

[ornate gazelle]

only 1 task force can do 1 sea zone at the time

[ornate gazelle]

you need to change the sea supplyhub

[feral trail]

what

thats so bullshit

so just leave 4 carriers in a single sea zone alone to get destroyed ?

[ornate gazelle]

just press the gear

[ornate gazelle]

for this

[feral trail]

wheres the gear

[feral trail]

where do you open the menu bruh

a

got it

im blind

[ornate gazelle]

this picture mate

[feral trail]

okay

[ornate gazelle]

it will do it automatic for you

[feral trail]

what about this one

[verbal flax]

the navy im building spawn in the left admiral, but i want it to spawn in either none or the right one. is there a way to change it?

[feral trail]

in the production menu mate

[ornate gazelle]

you can force it to go directly to a fleet

[ornate gazelle]

first one is not a fleet

[ornate gazelle]

dont use subs in a strike force, mate

there realy slow

and they wont protect your good ships

i love that is only navy, the last few weeks😂 😂 😂 😂

[verbal flax]

wherre do you open that

[feral trail]

i dont care
i just want the supremacy

how can i get that shit

[opaque garden]

pls help

[ornate gazelle]

patrol you force in one region... wait maybe 1 week and you have enough

[opaque garden]

why am I not winning this

[ornate gazelle]

Cas

[opaque garden]

I have 2428 reserves

that should be enough right?

[ornate gazelle]

you are germany right?

[verbal flax]

found it

[opaque garden]

yes

[ornate gazelle]

there is not a plane in the warr. only one the russian side

[feral trail]

omfg

look

i want to do a naval invasion

how do i do that shit

[ornate gazelle]

1 region or more?

[feral trail]

more

3 region

[sinful vessel]

put the pointer on your values to see why they are so low

[ornate gazelle]

then you need to split your force in 3 parts

[feral trail]

okay i have that too

but its still 0

[opaque garden]

terrain minus 30

low supply mineu 47

river crossing minus 60

enemy entrenchement +10

[feral trail]

i want this stupid thing green

just like the old update

[haughty vortex]

Do Space Marines still work?

[feral trail]

i hate this new update...

[shut rock]

is mass assault reinforce rate is still in the game?

i've been looking for it for a while

[hollow linden]

Nah

What we used to call mass mob is sfp now because recovery rate

Reinforce rate has been reduced by a lot

[hollow linden]

Wouldn't recommend d

Partial pen exists

And everyone and their mother gets piercing now

Inf can easily get 100 piercing

[foggy stratus]

how do I beat ethiopia tutorial war

[feral trail]

i think i get the new navy now

its much harder than the last one

paradox just keeps trying to make UK harder to cap 😭

any good ship designs ?

[feral trail]

im not good in navy
but im 99% sure these all suck for navy battles

[hollow linden]

Ok so you're saying you aren't good at navy but you're also trying to tell me my designs are shit 💀

Ok buddy

Maybe try and see?

[feral trail]

bro have you seen the stats ?

[hollow linden]

Do u even know what half of these do

[feral trail]

and the cost 💀💀

[hollow linden]

What about them

[hollow linden]

So?

Navy is expensive

What did u expect

At least the shbb isn't 30k IC

[feral trail]

brother
im not going to get 6k production for 30 soft attack

thats shit

unless they changed it again

lemme check

[hollow linden]

Bro these aren't land stats 💀

30 light attack is good

Like what is your expectation here

[feral trail]

this is my expectation

1k more production for 20 more soft attack

[feral trail]

AND WHY ARE YOU USING ARMOR 4

[hollow linden]

So they don't die?

[feral trail]

BROTHER ITS AGAINST AI

[hollow linden]

Dawg, you said u were bad at navy, why are you trying to tell me how to do navy

[hollow linden]

So? AI ships have torps

I dont wanna get memed

[feral trail]

you have airforce and naval bombers 💀

[hollow linden]

What does that have to do with my cls not dying to shit dds cuz no armor?

If you don't wanna do,navy then dknt

But don't try to tell me how to do it when you yourself said you suck at it

Like make some sense

[feral trail]

brother
armor 2 is too much for AI

[hollow linden]

It isn't

[feral trail]

💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀

[hollow linden]

Just have armor 4 and be safe

It's just better

[feral trail]

im talking about late AI historical game
not multiplayer against a navy pro

AI dont even use torps

[hollow linden]

Look dawg, I'm tryna help. If you don't want my help that's fine

[feral trail]

even if they do you can always retreat

my question is if the designs are changed in 1.17
what you are telling me isnt even good in 1.16

[hollow linden]

But don't go asking for it

[hollow linden]

Literally does

[hollow linden]

Designs didn't change much

Not at all in faxt

All that changed was doctrines

[fluid wharf]

ur joking right

[hollow linden]

And how navy is controlled

[fluid wharf]

u know partial piercing dont exist in navy

[hollow linden]

YES THANK YOU

[fluid wharf]

and getting piercing is so hard

[feral trail]

well then the ones im making is better

[fluid wharf]

because they are time locked tech

while armor is 36 tech

armor 4 will not get pierced till ur 42 tech

guns

[feral trail]

i am 42 tech guns

[hollow linden]

And since AI is too dumb to make good designs you can use armor 4 and cl2 till forever

[fluid wharf]

and how many ships have 42 guns

u ape

[hollow linden]

So? Steel cost is insane. You pay 1 steel per light attack more

[feral trail]

34

[hollow linden]

And you need to produce those still

The earlier you start the better

It's better slightly but just not worth the cost

[feral trail]

you guys dont focus on navy
if you did you wouldnt do these stupid things

[hollow linden]

I thought u were all about cost efficiency

[fluid wharf]

ur genuinely brain dead

[hollow linden]

Bro stop trolling

[feral trail]

BRO WHAT 💀

[hollow linden]

I thought u were bad at this?

Why you trying to explain the game to me kek

[feral trail]

we are playing in 1945 rn
the UK is dead
the US is dead
the only remaining faction is japan which has no chance against my new 42 guns

AND YOU ARE SAYING MAKE 30 SOFT ATTACK SHIPS
