I think things are not desperate. Send more troop to your south front. You can send your troops settled in Italy. I don't know when, but the Aoussa Emirate will surrender, giving you a supply hub.
I have naval dominance so why can’t I send my troops overseas
im gonna bring tac bombers now
They are stationed in a port
Have you waited the 50 days ?
Huh?
just select troop and right click to the choosen army. They will do the move by themselve.
That’s a thing?
Why does the game not mention it 🥀
My general have waited more then 50 days, so its 'gauge" is full. Yours should be mainly red
you have these ?
Naval invasion order
I see it thanks
The last time I tried it I couldn’t get it to work so just used paratroopers, didn’t notice the naval invasion button
you should see how many divisions are affected
how do i get rid of thjis stupid dvision thing i made
6 divisions max per invasion (at the start of the game at least)
Ah
Its may 1940 already and now im waiting 50 days to invade Norway
Should I just ignore it and invade France
You mean the "little" division ? just send it back to Germany and take a bigger one ?
can i just remove it
delete it
You may be abble to do both. Benelux and France should be fast with a good offensive army
you should have a red cross somewhere
what did i gain from this
ty
assault engineers
I've never invaded Norway with tanks, but i'm not an experienced player. If you just run a "chill" game, i'd say try whatever you like. It's probably suboptimal to wait too much for France, but shouldn't ruin your game.
very good support company
helps deal with all the forts around you
but does well against other terrain types too
chat someone gimme cavalry template
9/0 with aa and artillery or 18/0 with medium flame, assault engineers, light tank recon, artillery, and hospitals
what ab company
To design CAS, should i go full bomb or stay with some guns ?
guns as in anti-tank cannons or guns as in fighter armaments
i'm early so i've bomb or fighter guns
anti-tank guns on CAS aren't particularly more useful than bombs
but for the fighter guns question cas-navs do exist and you can try running bombs as main armament + hmgs as secondary
So smthing like that make sense ?
also im cooking in spain i did a focus tree thing and now can send 2 more volunteerrs
Yes
So - I'm albania. Germany attacked Italy on my behalf as I joined the axis. What do now?
sghould i befriend japan
Im at war with sweden but it wont let me invade because apparantly it's polish land and therefore I can't step foot in it. Any advice or console commands I can use?
lmao attack modifiers for aura
but idk what's happening here tbh
maybe if you're a democracy
how do i set up those anchuss divisions u said
im a bit busy in spain tho
Fascist
Huh then you should be able to walk in
And whys that happening
also clearly you can walk into the rest of poland so idk
Yeah idk
Interesting game if yotu cant tell
Why am I getting no divisions on that naval invasion aswell??
Oh max supplied divisions 0
how do i fix that then
go to the top left near the date, open up the naval tab
(i believe it is the middle, might be the right one)
Show me what shows up there
This?
no these thingies
playing a new game with Road to 56, what nation should I play?
Yeah that's what I was thinking
Do you have another naval invasion set up
Probably one of my 500 mods
Absolutely not
im doing good i think
Yeah thats why im confused why it wont let me naval invade at all
does it havbe to be off my land or?
@neat widget should i be invested in this war as much as i am?
i mean it's nice, but make sure not to ignore other things
Ah I see
Why are my ships staying docked instead of going to patrol the sea assigned to them?
You have those sea lanes blocked off
what focus do i do rn
Supply base might be too far away
Ohhhh whys that
do i gain anything from this war
experience
some xp, a potentially friendly spain, grinding in spain can be useful
i've learnt that a well trained general in spain could help a lot later.
how does this production look
war taking ages
How do i fix that
Yes. But that's what i like ^^.
click on sea zone, there will be a popup in the lower left with allow, avoid, and block options
select allow or avoid
are these recruitments good guys?
@neat widget
The Add Unit button puts them all under one header, so there's that
and it seems like there's not enough equipment for whatever reason
how do i fix that
Brah
ill fix it tommorow nvm
oh
Maybe you have to push the Swedes from the Kiel canal or something
the new naval logistics system is weird
also your fleet is being supplied from Ceuta
and with the swedes blocking the kiel canal and the danish belts no supply can get through into the baltic
change that to Rostock
Ohhh thank you so much
Do I need generals or do they just give buffs?
does anyone know how to do well in peace conferences. I have like 80% of the war score, but somehow my ally which is an AI always contests me on the land, and ends up going many rounds until I run out of points. And then when the peace conference is over I end up with very little, and the ai ally, which had much less war score than me, somehow gets the majority of the land.
try to not have allies
how do you make a space marine division
tank in infantry division
yeh i got 17 armour
ok
well isnt it meant to be like 50
But I want to be at least somewhat historical. So as Germany, would it be better not to have Italy join in the battle of France but rather have it join the war right before operation sea lion commences
How do I do the collaboration government mission to increase compliance?
It says I need an intel network, but I can't do that on my territory
I litterally just bought the game and I was wondering if anyone could guide me
With the add unit button you can train multiple units in parallel. So you'd just need one infantry line but with multiple units.
I haven't played Germany yet, only Italy, but you probably should train a lot more units in parallel (like 20-30? I do 12 or 24 with Italy). If your units are ready earlier, that means more time to exercise and reach lvl 3 before war.
No idea about the unit composition since I only used Infantry with Arty so far because Italy industrial base is shit
you do it on other nations that you have not conquered
not on your own territory
although there is a way for it to work on your own territory
Which way? I need something to get compliance up faster. Right now the only thing I do is to use the resistance suppression op with spies and change to civilian oversight at 0 resistance
what does equipment conversion exactly do? i never do the research because it seems a waste of a research slot but it may be important
i tried doing the research and converting my equipments but it shows i won't be producing any equipment of that category because I'm not consuming resources, i am confuse lol
the hell happened with the navy did they change how it works completely??
when you capitulate a nation with a tag that cores your territory
e.g. when you cap china with full collab, you get the compliance on taiwan as well as japan
it reduces the overhead cost of converting stuff
you need to pay 90% of the chassis cost without any conversion tech and each one lowers it by 40%
you are
then why does it look like this? when converting it shows you don't consume resources
i took that image from google since I'm on bed
yes
this is exactly why you convert
it saves resources
in fact this is an established method
due to paradox funny math
the resource cost per factory of converting is the difference in resource cost between the base and the final design
is there going to be a new guide for the doctrines?
ohh, i don't get why it won't consume resources because aren't you basically upgrading your existing equipment?
It feels a little confusing now, or perhaps i have been too used to the old trees
yes, also doesn't make sense to me
it's just that paradox don't understand basic math
that they tie resource cost to factory, not IC
it is
or well it's part of vanilla
that counteracts with the crazy resource costs of stuff
i hope pdx fix this, i didn't want to do it because it didn't make sense and now i don't want to do it because it's apparently an exploit
thanks you're a great help !
there has been a forum post about it a while back
but it's a good feature
to counteract how bad vanilla is designed
the fact that paradox didn't place enough resources in the whole world to make producing meaningful amount of anything impossible without constant conversion
it's like coal
paradox cannot comprehend how players can get massive industry
So I have to build collaboration government while still fighting? Is there anything else I can do after annexation except rooting out the resistance?
no
you don't want to annex stuff without collab
plan ahead
or you can build before you fight
If nation A uses a decision cores all the states of nation B, but nation B is a formable created by a decision after conquering nation C, does nation A get cores on nation C
Basically I’m seeing if I can get the Federation of Malayan Peoples/Association of South East Asian Nations that the Philippines can form to get cores on Papua New Guinea which the greater Indonesian confederacy formable can core
Interesting. Do I need an intel network in every country to create the collaboration government? The spy agency stuff is completely new to me
You need 50% network strength in the target nation to commit the collab mission, ye.
And two operators.
Could anyone help me learn the game I am new and would like some help the youtube videos arent helping a whole lot
does anyone have a good hoi4 production calculator i could use?
to calculate how much mils i should have for each of my equipment needs
just use excel bro
i do but not too hard to make one
just put in ic amount of equipment and their product then normalize the sum to 1
can you send me it?
Is there a console command to give country leaders traits?
honestly i hope line arty is viable one day
genuinely what am i supposed to do
how can i make france like me?
maybe post another incomprehensible screenshot and ask a vague question
Is the China Japan peace event broken? I'm play as the communists, pushed Japan out, they release Korea but we're still at war?
how to uncapitulate
take back enough of your land
guys
I need help fixing this bug
It pauses automatically at 2 PM each day
for some reason
it does it on its own
guys, i prolly gonna need some advice
lmao
im playing historically, iron man, mapuche
somehow ive taken the america's without doing unified by will
however
wtf am i ment to do </3
my navy consists of the base south american navy, and a shit ton of fleet subs
Tell me there’s a way to automatically move aircraft into carriers
Without doing it manually
if i create a collab government in america, will i be able to do this decision?
yes but i mean how much do you not have controlled rn
How does the escort thing work..?
I’m stuck at 99% and can’t move troops out of the U.S.
wait
if i have max collab on the US
should i even do the decision
cuz then ill get less mp and industry, right?
What bug
Game pauses on its own
like I dont hit the space key and it still pauses on its own
It started happening for no reason
are you still in range of airbases
if so you can get some transport planes
i think i have to legit beat the US, like get the
war ended screen
idk what its called
sounds like a mapuche chile playthrough
it is
cuz mexico doesnt exist anywhere, but i cant make a native government outta em
ima basically have to make an OP navy from scratch
with 3 research slots </3
only navy i have that isnt bad is my max fleet subs </3
however against the british idk how effective they will be
@serene karma u there??
anybody know any youtube guides for Left Kuomintang China?
Yes but lowkey I don't think it's much worth at the point of having the rest of America puppeted, it will take too long time just to get USA cored, so I'd personally won't spend much time, you can try ofc
ehh i tried in a copy save
and it didnt work
reorganizing collab didn't work?
For motorized divisions im used to hold the line for my offensive spg, is it worth it to add logistics support? Or should I just do aa arti and engi?
the decision to make an indigenous puppet didnt work
even with the collab
whats a good screening ship?
I think light cruisers are still good
do early cruisers work?
i finally managed to complete the german civil war but i completed in october 1040, did i take a long time iyo to do it
this is my first time to try and seriously play the game
hi chat
ello
Why Argentina doesn't get annexed with last mapuche Chile focus in political branch?
And hello
you have to fight w argentina
you get a few cores on southern argentina, and a focus that puts you at war with argentina with a few buggs
I know it but like
You can core all of America but not the rest of Argentina 🤣
i think u can core the rest of argentina with the focus unified by will
atleast, id assume so
It's the focus I meant
I finish this focus, all puppets are annexed except Argentina
how did you finish off the allies?
I took the focus without reorganizing USA and Canada
At that point I simply got no building slots left in Chile itself
i own all the america's except for a few islands, but mexico n all that are in the allies, so i cant reorganize them
im just lucky i have max compliance
i got mp, industry, everything. the only thing im lacking is naval
I toon Mexico and somehow it didn't join the allies
lucky bastard </3
Many peace deals were generating negative world tension
With last dlc world tension seems to be reduced
how do i supply my units during battle
Or you can just invade Mexico first right after declaring crusade against imperialism. Ask for docking rights Guatemala or Nicaragua, it should provide enough range for naval invasion.
well i didnt know that
so i just fought mexico, US, canada, UK, all of em
and now china and japan cuz they joined the allies
To be fair you just better roll up slowly. Brazil has so much more population and rubber
i already did it
ive taken all the america's. i just cant end the war cuz of navy
Does uk still have oil?
i think, its basically the whole world against me and the soviets
and the soviets aint doing too well
you cant restrenghten them while in combat/combat reserves
Well, then naval bombers
bruh the only airforce i researched for chile was fighters </3
i have 3 research slots
license
change role
license from who? the whole world hates me </3
now you have air tech wooo
anyone
germany, ussr, japan, ideally uk
new zealand australia india
sweden idk
im at war with all of em
everyone
pretty much everyone joined the allies
EVEN TEH SWISS
OML
my subs are doing good work in all fairnes
i finally managed to complete the german civil war but i completed in october 1040, did i take a long time iyo to do it
this is my first time to try and seriously play the game can anyone give me some tips on how to do it in a reasonable amount of time instead
all i know how to do i set a front line and then draw offensive lines and let my troops advance for the most part
If I attach an air wing to a unit, will they get air support?
how many spotting cruisers should i have in a single fleet?
can i see?
cape verde is reachable with paratroopers
i own the azores
okay?
how does that matter if you cant send units over
with cape verde you can
you can also create a puppet on the other side
either through peacedeal or giving a state to a capped puppet
wym? i can send troops over
and then recruit divs from puppet manpower > turn into own
Do submarines that are spotted by patrol ships keep revealed during a battle or does the quick response strike force needs its own spotting average to keep engaging them?
they are initially revealed for 20 hours
then it use the normal mechanic of spotting
hmm
which against the ai they would always retreat
so you reengage them
patrol kill subs at a very high rate due to that
so depending how close/fast the response fleet is, I may not necessarily need any spotting on the strike force
no
it doesn't have anything to do with speed
they are revealed for 20 hours once they are engaged
and yes
you don't need any sub detection
on your destroyers
in the new version escort seems to also work fine
since they tried so hard to buff destroyers
lol
mate im in 1950 and im bloody mapuche chile
it was either late or never
but just use the highest armor(super heavy armor if you have it), 2 best gun, and fill the rest with dual purpose 3
oh if you have dual purpose 3 use that
also it's just generally not the best idea to build battleships
depending on how much of a fleet you already have
ive got none except for a bunch of subs
ok then definitely should not be building battleships
build the best light cruiser you have
is steel an issue?
chromium is
then how am i ment to get naval superiorty?
ive secured the america's
by building a navy that can kill enemy navy
which doesn't start with cruiser
do you not have cuba
i have 140 dockyards
ok then build whatever you like lol
just fill it with the best armor and with guns/secondary
i could take cuba
good news is that ai will keep building trash ships even into the 50s
so you have plenty of time
all you need to build is light cruiser and battleship
you could have gotten shbb if you had naval facility
im making shbbs
got fleet subs, making shbb
yeah it's the best ship
you don't want too many battery on it
2 is enough
or at most 3
fill up the rest with secondary guns
they have great value for those
i assummme modern battleships aint worth it
CUBA WAS HELPING THE ALLIES
nah bro u dead
ill teach u not to give docking rights to my enemys
worse than shbb
u think iceland is a good enough naval base?
Fortress Iceland
Soviets are never taking the island
i dont think the soviets are gonna be doing much at all
and the soviets are gone
its just me
chile vs the world
WHY DOES CHINA OWN HUNGARY
what is this bro </3
where is the button to micromanage ? ⁉️ one of my mod deleted the button :(
actually
you don't need to build so many high level naval base
just do 1 and connect the rest with it
then they give equal supply
that single statement, gave me more pain this this entire playthrough
this world is cursed
hoi4 gets weird when chile takes over all of the americas and its 1954
APPARRENTLYY
for SOME REASON
"hmm yes"
we should make a provisional government of island
what island*?
we dont know
island as in iceland
ik
but yeah, it's funny
HAHA
i halfed the british fleet
we are so back lads
whats the best cas design
for like, the max airframe
heavy bomb, armor plates; self sealing tanks, dives brakes, defence turret and no mg or cannon
where my achiement
u need to have them in the peace deal
thats what it takes for it to count
that is not ,,capitulate,,
Bottom right is a button to see your worldwide supply. If it is too low, either click the nearest hub for upgrading the rails leading to it, or build a new supply hub.
Naval bases are the cheapest supply hub.
is there a way to select every railway gun?
like how u can select every unassigned unit
cuz i have about 50 railway guns unassigned scattered around in unknown areas
This is literally the hardest game ever….. 🫣
That's why we love it
Don't confuse hard with complicated
The inputs by themselves aren't, it's just complicated. And sometimes not even
It just takes time
I won’t lie man. I’m really interested in the game. I’ve just got zero idea where to go after completing one step. Watching beginners guides like hell, lol
i can help you if u need
feel free to give me a msg whenever ya want. the game is super annoying to get ya grasp on, but its easier when ya got someone there to guide ya
anyone has a good video on yt or any type of good tutorial for hoi4 i can’t even beat Ethiopia as Italy😭

FOCUS ORDER
---------------...
is Germany a beginner friendly ????
It's pretty easy so yea
Just play the most broken nation in the game
I’m trying to play as the U.S. and I’m 😵💫
thanks🙏
US is sleep sim
The Congress mechanic can be confusing
US is "nothing ever happens simulator" until the end of the war 🙏 boring nation without mods
(but US strat bomber is pretty fun)
Germany is quite op, tank buffs, infantry buffs and strong MIOs.
So yeah its pretty fun to play as.
And strong national focuses.
Man.. how is the world map looking?
How...
and this is the rest
Nice.
i only really used mountaineers to kill off america
3 stacks of 24
the worst part was making a navy
im somehow holding in france
Does anyone have any advice for Albania post-italy defeat? Invade Yugoslavia? Greece?
invade yugo im pretty sure you could get a core on macedonia
You mean eastern Illyria of course. What about Kosovë?
Well changing to fascist led me to greater Albania.. but I don't feel great at the moment haha
So country name changed but no map changes yet
Im looking to play my first ever multiplayer game this weekend, are there any kaiserreich games going on?
wait so like just press add unit like 20 times?
ill dm you the weekly kr server
guyss fast
air recon
what template to use
i want max intel on my ennemies
nevermind found one
Hello! Trying to get into the game, playing as Italy
The campaign for Ethiopia has given me two major issues, aside from some of my armies simply opting to not advance to the offensive line.
One: constant supply shortages. I have no clue how to get supplies to the frontline troops, as it seems supply hubs take several years to build and my troops are starved and short on resources
is it possible to paratrooper snipe italy?
Two: rebellion keeps brewing in the areas ive occupied and I have no idea how the garrison system works. A bunch of stuff tells me I need horses to uphold garrisons, but I have no idea what a garrison is or how to get horses to the Ethiopian one
how can I win against allies?
I'm attemping a battle of the buldge but i don't have any fuel or manpower, the fuel i can kinda manage but the manpower is really bad what can i do apart from scraping the barrel because im already having loads of equipment issues?
Also is there anything you can do with leftover army xp?
Yup. That way you have pipelines for certain divisions who train in parallel. There's no disadvantage as long as you can supply the minimum equipment to keep them training instead of waiting
Officer corps
Send all your divisions from italy to Ethiopia. Mountaineers and 2 inf to north, rest south. Ideally do this manually (send troops to nearest harbor then to ethiopia) because the AI will let your troops wander through italy instead of boarding from next harbor.
Put both armies with commanders in an army group to get field marshal bonus.
Send 200 planes to south Ethiopia, rest to north. Attach the planes to the respective generals.
Draw each battle plan to addis abeba. Change to aggressive execution.
While conquering build a railway to addis abbeba or the supply hub east of it. Depending on what you reach faster. Don't forget to put the railway into your top building slot, otherwise nothing happens.
Click execute plans and watch Ethiopia crumble under Italian boots
I would say delete some of your army
Stop garrisoning
Uhhh
I have no idea how to do half of these things
sos
For one, ALL my troops? SHOULDNT I have some at home for defense?
What are u defending from
At home
Also, what is an army group? I thought you could only organize divisions into armies
Does anybody think this is still possible? i am fighting against ussr but germany is losing on all fronts and i don't have enough divisions for the whole ussr.
The threat of invasion
No one will invade u for 4-ish years dw
You can attach planes to armies?
Pull back
yes
Garrisons are troops that pacify your conquered lands. You don't see them as they exist in the background.
You can increase their priority in the deployment window. Adding a military police support to the cavalry helps them with resistance suppression.
Battle plan is a line. How do I draw a line in one place
where to?
Try ur best to keep Leningrad though
Railways I can kinda understand, it's like building infrastructure, right?
Any good supply hubs or defensive terrain
Try not to make a bulge in the frontlines if ur defending
how can I win against allies, do I just wait and research the tanks or what do i do
Tanks will save u
If you specify what exactly, I could explain more detailed
I just did
You have peace with everybody except Ethiopia. It is safe
Take the line artillery off
Use infantry for defence
Tanks for offense
its a single player tho xd
I mean UEAH but what if they declare war? Nothing's stopping France from deciding they don't like me
Principle is still the same
what width should i use
If you click an army, theres an empty portrait left of it in bottom center. Right click it with your army selected and it gets attached to an army group or forms it if not existent before
The big plus? I thought that was for making armies
Yes, select the wing or wing group and then there's a little plus icon over your armies
?
Smth like 16-20 for inf
Replace the support arty with field hospitals
It’s way better in the long run
If you're playing tutorial, the game should explain how to draw your first battle plan
Last time I played the tutorial it didn't explain anything, just told me "do this" without any explanation as to why
Railways connect supply hubs/naval bases. Everything needs a connection to your capital, either via land or sea. By connecting a captured Ethiopian supply hub via rail you make it usable for your troops. Otherwise it's useless
And maybe replace tank recon with rangers
Ok but as far as I've pushed I've seen no supply hubs
So unless I'm blind there's just the one in Abyssinia
In this game countries need a justified wargoal. Nobody has that vs you in 1936
Oooooooh
Ok then yeah I guess my Civ experience is going out the window
Cause I'm used to people declaring war on me because I looked at them weird
The portrait on the right of your generals is for making new armies. On the left is to form an army group from armies
...I've been forming army groups this entire time
Ok I guess I'm starting over when I get back to my PC
Yea it's indeed shit. A battle plan is made by first creating a frontline. Then you select draw offensive line and rightclick drag from your frontline to where you want to go
On the bottom right you can select a supply view. It will show you hubs and railways
Oh you're supposed to right click and drag? I've just been drawing front and offensive lines then clicking the little check mark over the "army"
I'll check that when I get back home cause I swear I haven't seen any supply hubs inside of Ethiopia yet
I know that. In civ it's mostly when your military is less than 50% of the ais. Then you're food
Yup. Maybe you find a short yt vid that probably explains it visually
I did
That's how I understood to do frontlines and all that
They never mentioned dragging my troops after I've drawn the offensive and front lines
frontline leftclick means all selected border
Well yeah
Is that not good?
click right and drag for a certain part of that frontline
Imma have to start writing this down lol
Appreciate all the help
However, what should I do with the resistance?
supress 🙂
What button is that
create a guard unit with military police
like an inf unit
under your flag in the upper left side you can manage your subjects
there you can choose which unit guards
also you can choose what level of supression you want
Then just put that template in production and mail it to Ethiopia?
I did fall back, but what to do now? germany will capitulate and then I will have 1 vs 4 divisions or something.
ah oh you mean that focus thing, thats more complicated
If you select your country in top left you can go to occupied territory (below Mussolinis portrait) and there you can select occupation laws.
The default template is cavalry, which is ideal. So just research military police and attach it to the cavalry template for bonus suppression.
for ethiopia, its prettu hard usually
You don't have to produce garrison troops. It happens automatically as long as you have the equipment
u can release that entire area as a puppet
italian east africa
so you dont have to worry about it anymore
Yea, that also secures 5 rubber if you add the resource option to the puppet at the peace conference
no i dont mean that
Otherwise the amount of rubber you get is dependent on compliance/resistance
I think he talk about that focus story, where you need to get some suppression goals
???
you need to get control very quick, didnt try it myself
what focus story
after you conquered ethopia with Italy you still need to fulfill some goals concerning the supression and stuff
not focus, I am wrong
yeah
you dont need to complete that
if you click the event
establish africane orientale italienne or sum shi like thast
generally how does war work in this game i made the italian republic and thought i made pretty good preperations buuut i lost aswell as when i did it on germany like make a democratic rebellion also just in generel attacking countries i have it hard just taking ethiopa
how does trade work? i dont understand it
if its ur first time, itll be fine in a while
id suggest watch tutorials
on yt
There are certain resources in this game
which can be extracted
you need these resources to produce guns, planes, ships and other stuff
if u dont have it
u can trade 8 units of a material for 1 civilian factory
with any country
How do you do that? I got an Ethiopia only puppet and I don't like it
anyone know how to fix this in the mod
ok now i building civilian factory and when they done i can use them to extract the recourses i need?
are frontlines bugged?
click to trade
you can trade that one building capacity into 8 of any other recourses
via trade
you can not build any building for rasing res, but you can forge some excarvation techs to improve
only building rasing is a refinery, gives you oil and gum
the amount depends on what you have researched in that field
no see, each state has its own preset amount of resources it can extract
for example south east easia has a lot of rubber
if u want to increase the number of that resource produced in ur own state, add infrastructure to it
yeah
but u cant create resources out of nothing
doesnt add it on map, but in production
oil and rubber
and in that way fuel
but you can not add anything else
no coal or steel or oro ro
Are there "go to" medals to give ? I"m thinking about the -10% supply or +5 % attack
chatheads
Im looking to play my first ever multiplayer game this weekend, are there any kaiserreich games going on?
i dmed you the kr mp server :>
Why I can't as the PHI invite Chile in my hispanic faction?
maybe they went the french guy path? idk
Medium howitzer is good to a medium tank?
I don't play multiplayer. I heard that when playing with AI, the most important thing for a tank is light attack. With a medium howitzer, my light attack is 45.
I haven’t seen chile as an option in the decision UI in any of my PHI historical runs, they aren’t an Hispanic nation apparently.
Chile and Brazil are never an option
When I order my tactical bombers to bomb an area, the mission efficiency always remains at 0%, as if it never happened. What do I do?

I've got a bit of a problem, I sent 3 panzer divisions to nationalist Spain during the civil war, now it's over and they won't return for some reason
Wait 2 weeks
It's been 6 months
did they die?
Nope, still alive, thought I could use them to attack France from the south but they couldn't enter the province anyways
Even with the war going on
Did u send them as volunteers?
Yes
Yes
Can't, they won't go anywhere else (aside from Spanish territory)
Try to park them on a port, while having those units selected, click on one of your ports
Hi, I'm new to the game and since I started I still haven't been able to defeat any country. I play as Germany and when 1940 comes, I lose in the first Allied offensive.
Not that either, I'll try the port thing and I'll let you know
I might have to declare war on Spain, I don't want to since they're useful navy wise
But oh well
That would tp them home
It's weird because they would have been sent to my country since I declared war to Poland lol
hey why cant i join the axis as france? ik they changed factions but idk how
Are you playing on historical?
yea
Iirc you can't join the axis with hist mode on
im playing french empire tho
Oh idk then, sorry
shame i guess the non agression pact will have to be enough
hey fellas
question
i have no idea what's good for like a good civ industry
i wanna know when it's healthy to start building mils if i plan on not being involved in war much and sending vols
early at least
also i'm half tempted to invest in lights because i'm playing kaiserredux and last time i played it's like
so much happens during a year
So I took a country but idk how to annex it
i keep watching tutorials but what they do just doesnt happen to me like they win i loose even if i 100% follow what they do also is there another way
Why can't I add medium flame tank as support on my armoured division? I have the special project and I am producing flame tanks
then id say do more runs
try and figure out what ur doing wrong everytime
alright ill do that
ss?
figure out attacking and stuff
i just want production lines, screenshots. also can i check your special projects?
did u set the type of tank as flame tank in division designer?
tank*
?
I forgot to do that, might be the issue
?
Yup thanks
works now
help for some reason i cant send my paratroopers to england
like how many factories do i build before it's overkill (For civs pre-war)
arent medium flame tanks better
dont work when paradropping
Do you guys think it is smart to fall back here? Because I am trying to invade ussr but everytime I break through my frontline gets to big and my divisions can't defend it. Then i get pushed back again. Any solution?
So I annexed Latvia, but it's allies are alive
Wth do I do
whats the xontext
context*
I have Latvia lands but I don't know how to annex them and end the war
yo
Can I move only one task force to certain port and not all the fleet?
what dlc adds the ship designer
because i googled it and it said gottendamburg and ive bought it and theres no ship designer
as who?
All my troops disappear no reason
As Estonia
So like @glacial steeple what can I like even do
Guyz..
I had no clue I needed to do this
I thought all I have to do was justify
Is my playthrough ruined
Hey I'm trying to take over Europe as Italy, and watching all the tutorials that say place in like 10 naval invasions onto the uk coastline are obsolete as I can only place 2.
otherwise can I get some help on how to win as Italy, what steps I could do to win the game, I'm still fairly new otherwise.
why cant i do a nuclear missile strike? i have missiles researched
do i need to finish this or smt
depending on if you need more mountain attack stat or not, you can replace ranger recon with armored recon to stack more breakthrough
uhh
what if my doctrines are bad and i don't have 5th slot
get it to 32 width
doesnt matter how it looks in the designer
use 16 mountaineers, 18 once you get width reduction on mountaineer doctrine
why cant i continue researching industry sorry im new to the game
all the xp i have
you shouldnt even care about templates if its that early
all your army xp should go into unlocking your land doctrines
i wanna send vols
send w/e you have at hand, getting mastery for doctrines started is more impactful
was this waste then
which is the strongest country in the game between germany and usa? would it be germany because it has better weaponry in research?
USSR
how?
Comecon
drown the planet in ic
but Germany is stronger so its irrelevant, USSR mios are garbage, and so are US ones, and US industry isnt even comparable to German or USSR potential so that's not even a factor to consider
Is it usefull to give medal ? It's my first game with BBA
I want to know how battles work. Do you need more soft attack than the enemy to win the battle?
Afaik (but i'm quite new) soft attack win battle in single player yes.
ussr MIOs are good wdym
ussr issue is just research slots
gun mio good, but no focke-wulf and OKMO isnt quite henschel
germany by far because the US is super weak
you have tank refurbishment??
very good tank MIO
only 2 nations can even get it
ik tank refurbishment good, but how much more do you get out of it compared to henschel + daimler (i dont actually know)
but the schtats of henschel vs okmo
best gun MIO is in afghanistan
esports alta
yes german stats are better but tank production if only comparing MIOs is worse
ussr is worse because slower eco growth bad tech
USSR also has less effcap potential no?
10% from gosproyeks, and what else, i forget
how can I win the Reich?
its same cap as ger with slower growth
the ussr isnt that weak
they just scale a bit poorly because of research slots mostly but also just cant out eco whole faction
and ger wins because they have OP grind
help pls(
crazy stats
do they actually, i swear Germany gets like 20% from eco tree + loyalty to fuhrer, only Soviet one i remember is foreign experts +10%
yeah they get 140
i dont play soviets much so i forgor where
damn i need to recheck that focus tree then
does having my divisions in the border matter in a focus ultimatum?
can AI nations join factions mid war
a non alligned joined the democrats
a god damn not even close to 20% demo joined the democrats
okay?
i completely forgot that the soviet starting spirit is +5%, they get another +5% from finishing industry tree, and another 10% from the 2 starting focuses that cook growth in army tree, so they get 130% without mios and maxed industry tech (132% after ww2)
is this like preventable
by not declaring war on them yes
strategic redeployment keeps turning itself off when I select it for my troops. why is this?
Germany gets 25% total regardless of eco path, so yea, Soviet does have better industry huh
...
ok ima stop playing batlic
baltic
those arent that hard
if you want war then do it in like 1937
fast unification good
as soviets?
you get a focus to annex them without war
as a baltic nation
to unify the baltics
@glacial steeple as like latvia
not as soviet union
Can anyone help me play through a bit?
I just feel super lost. I watched the tutorial but I feel like I'm always getting stuck
Could you try to be more precise, what troubles you?
basically I was playing as the dominician republic and I lose to haiti immediately
I building up factories or atleast I think I am
but then when I start the war I immediately die
I also didn't understand how to increase my supply lines with italy in the tutorial
or atleast that's what I thought my problem was
I guess your units lacked some more punch.
Or were too small.
I thought I had enough because idk I have it on the easiest difficulty
I thought I would be able to steam roll them
I'm just not sure what I could be doing better
I also feel like it takes forever to build units
I feel like I'm waiting around for half the game to lose in 30 seconds
is this good
How do you defeat turkey as facist greece? I'm trying to form the byzantine but turkey is impenetrable
is small cannon 2s better
You can run on 4 or 5 speed for the focusses and army training.
There is no issue in that. The waiting game isn't the issue.
I know DR lacks manpower, but try to make your units at least a 10w and support artillery and getting like at least 4 divisions.
Train them and you should be able to deal with Haiti.
Get better guns too.
my arty tech is crap for for context
what does 10w mean?
Width. Like the size of your army.
Different vegetations/tiles allow a different size of your army to fight effective.
Are you busy you can just watch me play now
Kind of busy, playing with friends. Sorry.
you dont have alot of building slots so id say just go for mils directly
what are mils?
and i have vols to usa
military factories
i am playing modded kaiseredux
and civs are civilian factories for future reference
also if youre new dont start with an island nation
I thought it would be easier
because you dont have any building slots
Realistically you won't be able to get sth built on time.
But otherwise mils.
Get your military factories from your focus tree.
And another civ to import iron for your weapons.
Produce all guns and one on artillery.
DR seems easier because it's enemy is next to it so it seems simple
also I'm protected I thought
no youre just gonna sit there by yourself and get bored because naval invasion is hard for newbies and alot of players
you can go for a country in south ammerica then
or central
but I really dont recommend starting with island nation
regardless my problem is just with setting myself up
I don't understand really how to build up units
How does the special forces cap work?
Is it like a percentage of deployed manpower or..
You open your division designer.
You put 5 helmets/battalions of base infantry in there. And support artillery.
Get like 4 of them ready, when you start war with Haiti.
And you should be fine.
What's the other options?
If you're not using Cavalry and don't use these generals, this focus has no downside to you.
You lose stab if you pick the others.
Ig the devs though that equaled it out
But I never actually use cav.
yeah but 2.50% manchukuo doesnt have alot of commanders to begin with
and u get 50pp which is helpful early on
Anyone?
u start with 0 stab anyway
Is 80 nuclear reactors enough
So ye, percentage of troops deployed-
GANG.
3 is like the max you need.
Me?
Fair.
batallions deployed
make civ reactors
theyre better
also you outproduce the US anyway
yeah im researching it
its such a poor country rn
i need to eviscerate the capitalists
500 thermonuclear bombs
if i nuke a port do the ships go too?
is this a good light tank template for Romanov Poland
no
how to finish this? attacks are all lost
is the british navy really unbeatable for a naval invasion
like i couldnt do it with frances navy
use medium tank
and role it as spg
fallback and let them walk out
bro I don't get it
Can anyone help me? Im playingas japan and dont know how to organize my navy properly. I need to keep dominance over very vast areas
hey is this good
i know it's lts
"Mot gives no stats go mech" I'm not going mech for lts
using motorized is literally losing stats
but if you want it
at least make the tank spg
and add flame tank
Can i take back my volunteer ?
it doesn't matter
you already have too much breakthrough
make your light tank into spg
ok, there are two things you can do actually
since you have this super good flame tank design for whatever reason
if you like, try to put a medium gun on your light tank
and use fixed turret
this will completely nuke the breakthrough on your light spg
