Guys why doesnt the amount of tanks I need for this light tank division pop up, like I put the light tank battalion but it just wont work for some reason??

<@&916727971820240976>

left glacier
rustic acorn
#

hmm, would show the needed number though...

full nest
#

yes exactly

#

dont know why thats happening

rustic acorn
#

what comes to my mind is that the template you produce is not used in your template perhaps?

full nest
#

the tank I produce isnt in my template?

#

huh

#

it is

rustic acorn
#

nope, right

full nest
#

...then?-

rustic acorn
#

thinking... sorry

full nest
#

its okay im pretty bugged with this too

left glacier
#

Yeah. It's probably a minor visual bug

full nest
#

I havent been able to use tanks bcz of that

left glacier
#

Do you still have any of these divisions in the field?

full nest
#

hmmm maybe if I start training the division it will pop up how much tanks I need and the logistics tab will change

rustic acorn
#

so it is no known temporarly bug

left glacier
#

You would need to train them through the divisions tab and deploy them

#

Or else you would have that notification that you are producing equipment for a division template that you don't have in the field

rustic acorn
#

he showed that notification, i think

full nest
#

it did pop up

serene karma
#

Dont crop it to a small part

#

U probably need to allow the equipment in the equipment tab

full nest
#

k gimme a sec

rustic acorn
#

ah, see, that goes the way I meant

#

you dont use it

#

but show a screen please

Press the equipment button under the words division designer

#

Screenshot that

#

Also any mods?

Some

#

But they shouldnt affect equipment

#

Weird

#

No tank popping up either

serene karma
#

Hmm

#

Show tank research tree?

#

k

#

Really weird

#

Is it only this save or does it happen on all saves

#

And other templates?

full nest
#

uh

rustic acorn
#

just checked on my recent game, there it shows the needed number of tanks

full nest
#

happens every single game I play

rustic acorn
#

some mod that doesnt work?

full nest
#

Only tank templates

#

And it happens every saves

full nest
rustic acorn
#

these mods do strange things sometimes

#

deinstall all, recheck if it change to normal

#

should do so

#

if normal, install one mod, and recheck again

full nest
#

Okie

rustic acorn
#

then one after the other, always recheck

#

there is one destroying your game

#

Yessir ill keep u updated

OKAY IMA DO THE THING

Ty bro

I thought I was never gonna be able to make a tank 😭

#

Now time to pray the save doesnt get corrupted or smth 🙏

rustic acorn
#

I hope

#

but often they are...

If it gets corrupted I think its worth it coz like not being able to make tanks affects the overall experience of the game imo

how do i make a good navy, like lowk thats one of the aspecs that difficults me the most, how can i assure i good a good navy? Destroyers, submarines? how do i know i have a good design n other things

rustic acorn
#

try out is the best way, in general CLs and CVsdo the job

#

subs are nice for disturbing

#

mines can be used " offensive "

#

a good surface control is essential

#

you can track enemy ships easier and avoid bigger fleets

#

light ships with torps and maybe AA, carrier focused on hangars

#

radar!

#

you might want to create some special sub hunters from CLs and/or DDs

#

keep in mind that a fleet consumes lots of fuel, enormous amounts!

train your fleet

hey so i got victoria as my leader (germany) but dont have the option to form the holy roman empire? can anyone help here?

did you check?

#

To form the Holy Roman Empire in Victoria 3, you must meet specific cultural, state control, and political requirements, usually as a major power controlling the German cultural homelands and completing the relevant journal entries or decisions.
Requirements and Mechanics
Primary Cultures and States: The HRE requires North German and South German primary cultures, and you must control the majority of the HRE’s target states. The typical required percentage of states is 73% of the 31 states considered part of the cultural homelands

Country Tier and Eligibility: Only countries that are at least major powers can be candidates for forming the HRE. Your government type must not be a Dual or Triple Monarchy, nor can the Confederation of the Rhine exist at the time of formation

Research and Journal Entries: You must either have researched Pan-nationalism or completed the German National Identity journal entry, which usually triggers events or decisions allowing you to begin the unification process

Leadership vs. Unification Plays: If multiple unification candidates exist, a leadership play is used to force other candidates to renounce their candidacy. Supporters of the leadership candidate will automatically back you, and disqualified candidates cannot become candidates again until regular state control requirements are met

. This can be risky but avoids generating infamy compared to war-based unification.
Supporting Countries and Subjects: Any same-culture countries that are not candidates but meet requirements can support you, adding their states to your unification count. Allied or subject states of supporters are counted towards the formation as well

Steps to Form the HRE
Consolidate German States: Start by controlling or securing alliances with German states to reach at least 73% control of the HRE’s cultural homelands.
Complete Journal Entry / Research: Fulfill the Pan-nationalism or German National Identity requirements to unlock the formation option

#

Initiate a Leadership or Unification Play: If multiple candidates exist, use a leadership play to assert your claim and gain the backing of other countries. If you are the sole candidate with sufficient states, you can directly form the HRE

Form the Empire: Once requirements are met, press the formation button in the Nation Formation tab of the Journal. Upon formation, your country will change to the HRE, adjusting primary cultures, flag, and country tier

Additional Tips
Strategic Diplomacy: Influence other German cultural countries early to secure support or prevent rival candidates from forming the HRE first

Alternative Strategies: Many players use Prussia or the Papal States as a base, leveraging either military campaigns or diplomatic moves for restoration

Risk Management: Leadership plays are high-risk but do not generate infamy, making them preferable to aggressive wars when forming the HRE

Video Guides: Practical walkthroughs are available on YouTube for step-by-step strategies under varying conditions, including starting as Bohemia or Prussia

Following these steps ensures you can successfully form the Holy Roman Empire in Victoria 3, either through diplomatic leadership plays or by securing majority control of German cultural states and meeting research/journal prerequisites.

doing my fist play through of the singleplayter game as germany, i have justified a war goal against poland but ive had a change of mind i dont think im strong enough to take on the allies, is there any penalty for not declaring war?

24 divs in one army will also oncrewase your generals ability to lead more divs

up to 28 or so

#

or wa it 30?

bitter trout

should i integrate tanks with motorized inbfantry/ normal infantry or have them seperate

keep tanks seperat

but tank with mot.Inf or Mech is a must

send no tanks without

Can anyone please explain to me how naval supremacy works? I am trying to invade Norwary, I have my navaal invasion at 100% ready to go. But I need naval supremacy. Ok, I have my submarine fleet patrolling the area and my entire fleet on naval invasion support. The invasion still will not go. There are no enemy fleets in the area. No battles have taken place. I also have complete aerial superiority.

glacial steeple
#

just patrol with surface fleet

distant citrus
distant citrus
glacial steeple
#

when designing/producing

#

it does in fact tell you

distant citrus
#

I saw a video that you can directly tell a naval fleet what specific sea tile to go too, and this can be used to offer fire support for naval invasions. But whenever I try to tell my fleet where to go, the game just denies me the ability to do so

#

"Fleet, go hear near norway." Fleet: No

#

idk why

neat widget
#

yeah

#

and also you can find the supremacy of a whole task force by hovering over the patrol button

distant citrus
#

Do I need to have my fleet set to naval invasion support to offer support to an invasion? I cant just have a fleet near a landing?

#

Games like this really miss the small, tiny detailes that are EXTREMELY important that just are completely glossed over and never explained. Like stuff like this is pretty important to know XD

#

I guess I just tell me fleet to "be here in this general area" and they do what they need to do. idk

#

Alright i figured it out. I apparently wasted my time having subs patrol the area while my fleet was on strike force.

low obsidian

how does navy work

left glacier
# low obsidian how does navy work

The new navy system relies on getting naval dominance in sea zones. Naval dominance is equivalent to gaining Air Superiority but for navy, where the dominance value always fluctuates as long as you have ships on patrol

light knoll
low obsidian
#

Right?

left glacier
bitter trout
left glacier
#

Ships have a dominance value where bigger ships have more dominance compared to submarines or destroyers

light knoll
low obsidian
left glacier
#

Well so long as you have your navy on patrol, you’ll get naval dominance passively

low obsidian
#

Ait thx

#

So whats the easiest way to invade britain then

#

As in what place shout i get the most naval dominance in, the channel is almost impossible

left glacier

As fas as I know, usually through the North Sea

Infantry doctrine wise, assault infantry or assault infantry ?

Got another question. Can someone explain to me plan bonus? I did some research and learned stacking units along a line creates plan bonus, but none of the units I have along my field marshall line are stacking planning bonus for some reason.

You should attack Latvia and Estonia, Latvia can be cored and Estonia can be puppeted

due to me taking USSR

oh

Is it over gng

I have the field marshall with assigned units, they have a forward battleplan, I have armored units along the plan. But they arent creating planning bonus

Guys how do I get planning bonus?

tough oak

set a frontline and a battleplan

Yea I just said I did that twice

#

Let me send the picture. Again.

tough oak
#

I might get touched though

distant citrus

I have a field marshall line with his own units, largely infantry units. I have another set of ARMORED units along the line, but not officially assigned. But they are not getting assigned planning bonus for some reason

I'm really struggling to help the spanish neighbour. i have few division, i'm deploying them asap, so they are not fully prepared. I'm thinking about spending PP in medals to boost them a bit. should i give more organization or more HP ?

inner sparrow

#

I watched a youtube video describing to create a field marshall line with its own assigned units, then assigning other units to said line and DELETING their orders once they get to the front line just so they can stack planning bonus

inner sparrow
#

what u watched was probably garrison order planning

distant citrus
#

I watched this

inner sparrow
#

but that got fixed in last update bc it was a bug

rustic acorn
#

planning bonus is growing without any orders, but units need to be alined in it

inner sparrow
#

yeah don’t listen to a feedback video, esp one that is 2 yrs old

distant citrus
#

God why are youtube tutorials so useless. And people wonder why new players cant learn anything. The guides and tutorials are BAD

inner sparrow

garrison planning doesn’t work anymore

glacial steeple

Im confused man this doesnt make sense

if u want planning now without your division moving there is a new feature for it now

cohesion

#

set it to never move

#

its easier to learn now

distant citrus
inner sparrow
inner sparrow
#

u can still get planning without ur division moving around

#

just different

distant citrus
#

There's a reason why HOI4 tutorials on youtube get half a million views. It isnt because the game does a good job of telling the player what they are dong wrong.

#

Just saying

inner sparrow
inner sparrow
#

I forgot its name

sinful vessel
inner sparrow
#

its somewhere on the left with a man standing on the border, thinks its called cohesion or something

distant citrus
#

Ok so let me rephrase this. What I am asking is apparently a bug that was unintended and wasnt intentional in the game.

inner sparrow
#

Yes and it got removed but after we from the mp community complained they added it as a feature

#

now it just works differently setup wise

distant citrus
#

How do I stack planning bonus? You NEED a battleplan right? You cant just stack units along a frontline they dont belong too and stack it anymore right? That was unintentional?

glacial steeple
distant citrus
inner sparrow
distant citrus
inner sparrow
#

yes

distant citrus
#

Alright cool

#

Thanks

sinful vessel
#

I think it's this

rustic acorn
#

did they change it so much recently?

inner sparrow
#

it’s that

distant citrus
#

Apparently what I was asking help for was an unintentional feature of the game

sinful vessel
#

Well, i've learnt a very usefull thing !

distant citrus
#

cool. Love paradox grand strategy lmao

inner sparrow
#

so they added that feature when we complained

distant citrus
#

I mean yea it sounds overpowered but I genuinely assumed it was a real feature of the game

inner sparrow
#

It was like a feature, existed like 7 years already

sinful vessel
#

So with this, unit goes in the frontline, but don't automaticaly move when frontline move ?

distant citrus
#

upon retrospect, it doesnt make sense for a general to just idle along an army he wasnt assigned too to stack planning bonus on a warplan he HAS NO PART IN. Upon reflection it doesnt make sense

#

but as a new player I mean you see a video and just assume its correct. How else can you know?

glacial steeple
inner sparrow
glacial steeple
#

tho youre never forced to lose planning bonus

#

its much more convenient to just lose it instead of resetting the battle every in game day (it goes down on day tick)

sinful vessel
#

Ok. So lot of micro, but bonus planning.

inner sparrow
#

yes

distant citrus
#

Do I need to give them their own battle plans?

inner sparrow
glacial steeple
#

doesnt have to be realistic

distant citrus
#

alright screw it, im just gonna do it the old fashion way

glacial steeple
#

just delete general orders, shift left click field marshal frontline

inner sparrow
#

if u want just planning bonus without moving your divisions manually just make a battleplan like normally

glacial steeple
#

make offensive line

distant citrus
#

cuz apparently a game with 100k concurrent players on steam cant give a straightforward clear answer on a game mechanic for a game released 10 years ago. Got it

inner sparrow
#

that cohesion thing is just if u want to manually micro ur divisions

distant citrus
#

so this video with 200k views is just lying. Like straight up false information

inner sparrow
#

yeah because it’s outdated

glacial steeple
#

most hoi players suck

rustic acorn
#

you sound very frustrated

inner sparrow
#

a lot of ppl don’t know what they talk in yt guides and only say it bc some mp player told them its good

distant citrus
#

Yea Im frustrated not because im bad (I am ok with this) but because I am being lied too when I ask for genuine help with the game.

inner sparrow
#

they often themselves don’t know why or how

distant citrus
#

Like tutorials and guides are just straight up false and give you bad information

rustic acorn

you are right 😉

No its not your guys fault look I know im bad at the game

I just dont like the inaccurate tutorials and wiki articles. That is not good guys. For any game.

rustic acorn
#

well, everybody starts like that, it is overwhelming much info

glacial steeple

its very unfacilitating to new players as all systems are somewhat intertwined

distant citrus

But it is a roleplaying game at heart so yea. I guess it isnt SO bad. Fair enough.

rustic acorn

never seen a game with such a complexity

glacial steeple

just play how you want 🤷

distant citrus
rustic acorn
#

maybe that roleplay hinders you 🙂

glacial steeple

me and others just help with getting better stats/economy management so you can win

but its probably more fun to some people to be around ai level so it feels challenging

and youre not just seal clubbing

rustic acorn

seal clubbing...

distant citrus

Yea alright. Well Im about to declare war on Stalin so wish me luck. I was asking these questions specifically for easier micro on German/russian front.

But best way to learn is. To just do it.

Yes. Heavies will be expensive and very long to build. A core of light cruiser is my initial plan.

April 38, it's long but i'm way better than at the start of my own civil war ^^

to have the bonus of plan, i need to stay of the front line probably ?

Seriously, roast me and tell me how to make this better

vapid pulsar
# light knoll how is that

100 collab means you dont have the -75% penalty and combine that with the new japan civ oversight law that gives +10% it's better to build in, and also harsh quotas is like +25% or sum

u want ur break to be higher than the enemies soft attack stat

yo why are my divisions losing xp ?

sinful vessel
#

or because you change their stuff

rustic acorn
#

attrition may also be a reason, because of loss of equip

#

and refitting costs exp

rustic acorn
#

good one, multi purpose

#

but expensive

#

the other bombs do more ground damage, but dont work for naval missions

#

but they are cheaper then bomb locks in ground damage ratio

#

also you can drop those air brake for naval mission if you focus on ground missions

#

half the costs and more ground damage

glacial steeple
#

bomb locks cost more and use more weight

#

you can only put like 1 per plane

fluid wharf
#

and if u do double u need forgo extra fuel

#

range very important for cas

#

because they only do battles in their circle range

Fight them quickly so they don't have the chance to kill your trade-route.

#

Just build some good planes and throw a small army of paratroopers around Dover. Then bring in a couple armies. They can't sink em all right? (It always works for me)

#

Or just build the same refineries for the rubber and intimidate Romania for oil.

rustic acorn
#

parachtuing Britain is always a good start in SP

#

Rumania, Iran will trade oil

you need several refineries to keep up your rubber needs

and they also help a lot with fuel

what do mills do that civs cant

#

should this be a good division?

#

(for singleplayer)

rustic acorn
# glacial steeple which..?

sorry, bomb locks cost 1, the bomb slot 2. but in terms of weight the bomb slots have a better weight/damage ratio, which effects throttle and mobility. 2 bomb locks have 12 in ground damage, 2 bomb slots 16 ground damage. from 12 to 16 is 30% more damage

#

25

#

%

glacial steeple
#

and missions are incompatible with heavy bomb locks (later tech thats better bomb locks)

so its kind of a bad thing to invest in logistically

Hey,
I got an Issue were I can't progress the national focus tree because im at war with the UK and UdSSR as germany.
I can't continue this focus as I don't meet the prerequisites, but I also can't abort it as there is no "x" and relogging/prior save doesn't do me any good. (I mean I might fix it by going back to before it happened, but I don't think I could get it back to this point easily.)
Would love some help, this is not Ironman mode.

I have a problem

#

With garrisoning occupied territories

I chose the template like normal and everything but the units won't garrison

When they get trained they deploy like a normal army and resistance keeps rising

#

Even though I assigned them to garrison occupied land

fluid wharf
#

im mobilissing the masses

glacial steeple
#

stop wasting factories on large amounts of support equipment and artillery pieces

fluid wharf
#

sorry for spamming but to be clear, does this mean that only 1/3rd of CAS flying in the airzone overhead can participate in each tick? Because it doesn't look like the defines for CAS combat width were changed, so if that is what's happening, CAS still does more damage if you have enough planes up to fill out enough of that combat width.
