i see well regardless i wish you the best of luck
ty ty
ugh i just need more manpower
this conscription wont cut it
let me see if there is any focuses i can do for manpower
if you need more man power
go to your army doctrine
and go to the operations section and chose deseperate defense
it grants an extra 5% man power
yes
?
sorry i don't know enough about mods to help
wdym?
cuz i tried to play world war zero
and it crashed
what does the error say?
i see tactics but not doctorine
same with a few others
and its not when i enter the game, its when i actually trie to select a nation and click play
likely just a mod issue
yah you gotta chose the first base line doctrine to follow
so like grand battle plan, mobile warfare ect
blitz
yea it just says it crashed
do you want to be communist or facist?
communist cuz a advisor is leaning towards communism
and its 2nd most popular party
alright ur going comunist go to ur descisions tab and open polittical disclosure if you want to do it pecefully
or open suport for civil war if you want to fight your self
ok im in decisions tab
i see
anti communist raids
anti fascist raids
institute press censorship
ban fascism
and yea
so which one is it
?
is there no way to join the united front as communist china
i got this far and im calling it a day
they got too strong, i was in there in 1941 and i wasred time tryna fix the bad supply
the most important thing is i learned something todau
so thank you
shouldn't the us be very close to capping?
you're france right?
Sorry I fell asleep uh so you got a communist advisor so scroll down a bit more snd you will see those actions
I thinks that’s fair you got that bro
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>
???
You would need to deploy these division
hmm, would show the needed number though...
what comes to my mind is that the template you produce is not used in your template perhaps?
nope, right
...then?-
thinking... sorry
its okay im pretty bugged with this too
Yeah. It's probably a minor visual bug
I havent been able to use tanks bcz of that
Do you still have any of these divisions in the field?
hmmm maybe if I start training the division it will pop up how much tanks I need and the logistics tab will change
so it is no known temporarly bug
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
he showed that notification, i think
it did pop up
Send a full screenshot
Dont crop it to a small part
U probably need to allow the equipment in the equipment tab
k gimme a sec
ah, see, that goes the way I meant
you dont use it
but show a screen please
fetching a coffee
Press the equipment button under the words division designer
Screenshot that
Also any mods?
Really weird
Is it only this save or does it happen on all saves
And other templates?
uh
just checked on my recent game, there it shows the needed number of tanks
happens every single game I play
some mod that doesnt work?
Nope
Only tank templates
And it happens every saves
I didnt download any mods that do smth with tanks though…
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
Okie
Yessir ill keep u updated
👍
FINALLY ITS POPPING UP
yes, STRIKE
lucky to be able to help
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 🙏
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
hell, yes, you need tanks
What makes a good tank divisions for ai solo games?
max soft attack
I saw an 11/8 division earlier
11 being spgs and 8 being mech
to a total of a 38w div
false? true! inf is mostly better in all terrain, but for the overall exp of the game?? you need tanks
I nkow what you mean
How quick can I rush mechanized for certain nations?
Reinstalling the mods worked?
seemd to have worked, yes
Yes
Im trying them out 1 at a time each to check like if any of the mods messes with the game and removes the light tank
how exactly do collabs work again?
cause I had a full collab on Germany, and it didn't seem to work
I also puppeted France
except fun fact, I didnt
I guess I can just give them their lands back, not collab but still a puppet ig
you need to be the one who capitulated them
cringe
civilian oversight/local autonomy
and wait
or even better, just harsh quota them
lol
Light medium or heavy spg?
It was which one?
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
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
in white water ( icy regions ) training and other action cause for accidents
hey so i got victoria as my leader (germany) but dont have the option to form the holy roman empire? can anyone help here?
VIC3? is the wrong server I suppose
but you will lack a certain province I guess
did you check?
i mean the option is nowhere in my decisions
like
not there
i did this when goetterdaemmerung first came out and wanted to do it again
the prequisitions changed a bit
yo ts useful, ty
ooooh okayy what do i need? like basics
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.
alr man thx🙏
good luck 😉
oooh i found it so its not in decisions anymore its in the actual focus tree
again thanks for the help
no prob
no its a mod/bug thing
theres 2 types of tank batallions
even though they look the same
those with NSB and those without
By the way Casey how did you get the 60% commander skill modifier
I was trying to invade Italy as the Ottomans and failed to get it
For some reason I only got 9%?????
you force attack x3
it was to make up for veterancy iirc
I don't know why that didn't work I literally did force attack x5 using multiple generals
Or was that my mistake
Yeah in my case I have to make up a 43% invasion penalty
should work idk
to be fair I was also trying this in GWR, so that might have something to do with it
will test both GWR and vanilla
And yes, Italy dropped the ball so badly in the Italo-Turkish war I gained naval supremacy
The AI just doesn't know how to work with 1.17 navies
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?
there is some stability loss, but not that hard...
is it a big deal or nah
Yestrday i did battle royal achivement but i didn't get it so i'm confused
true
just went back to a sae because i declared war and then france and czech destroyed me
save*
They caped to me 100% since i was only one left in the continent and i was only onr in the home islands
focus on inf, add air, after that tanks and other stuff, you cant do all from start
🙂 much too few inf
oh god really
copy
I mean he has more than 3 armies you probably mean 3 army groups
24 divs in one army will also oncrewase your generals ability to lead more divs
up to 28 or so
or wa it 30?
should i integrate tanks with motorized inbfantry/ normal infantry or have them seperate
usually 150 ish inf by war and 9-24 tanks is what i get
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.
submarines give like no supremacy lol
just patrol with surface fleet
Good to know. Nice the game tells me that.
Alright
theres literally the number of supremacy they give on the ship
when designing/producing
it does in fact tell you
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
yeah
and also you can find the supremacy of a whole task force by hovering over the patrol button
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.
500 hour player noob mistakes lmao
control right click to move manually
ahhhhh ok thanks
derp
insert downfall hitler rage meme
my bad thanks again lol
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
make this bigger ideally. 36 width is the best for tanks
Ok and when i produce more ships they just auto spawn in
Right?
Yes or you can set a designated port for them to spawn from
Alr thx
is that just by adding more tank battalians
Ships have a dominance value where bigger ships have more dominance compared to submarines or destroyers
both tank and motorized/mech, don't drop to too low org
Alr so its worth producing more heavy ships?
Well so long as you have your navy on patrol, you’ll get naval dominance passively
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
As fas as I know, usually through the North Sea
Alr
Infantry doctrine wise, assault infantry or assault infantry ?
assault infantry mate
for all the multiplier probably ?
just take the one that gives ur inf combat width reduction
forgot it’s name
but is the best one stat wise
that's the other one ^^
unless u play a very manpower capped country
u wrote assault infantry twice
mass assault has a trait that reduces width
lol. I meant "Big unit assault" or "Assault infantry"
there is no mass assault in sub docs
not sur of translation though
He wrote assault infantry twice
but "big unit" has a - 0,3 combat width
yeah take big unit
if u play finland u would take irregular instead for 2% more mp but besides that u should always take big unit for inf
isnt that troll cuz no stats
finland is very in need of stats
kappa
And there are consensus on the other subdoctrines ?
u get enough stats anyways
they made mobilizing so slow anyway
yeah so take it early on
idk if youd even mobilize the 2%
problem solved
u do
theres mobiliz speed on multiple doctrines aswell
I've just seen that unit medals are different in my Portugal game than they were in my Italy game. Where does this come from ?
Gng how do I get menpower in this situation 💀
With this path you can annex the Soviet Union
I can but no cores though and germany in a few months
What does your garrison template look like?
I'm using the most little mp for garrison
I wish we had a monarchist karl marx and could summon 500 dudes weekly
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
Guaranteed
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
what recruitment law are you on btw
Limited
Can't go above monarchist
or at war
if you have spies you can use them for resistance reduction
good idea
root out resistance mission
Imma use spies to reduce resistance and lithuania and get comp
when 80% comp I can from Poland Lithuania
gives cores
Im so confused, I have a field marshall line with troops assigned to it. I move my armored divisions to said line, idle them with no orders, but no planning bonus is stacking
Should I declare war on SSR?
All my men have max org other than some
their capital is very close to me
Yeah you can
Of course you'd be cutting it close, so you will have to take them out in a few months
Guys how do I get planning bonus?
set a frontline and a battleplan
I might get touched though
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 ? (i could also give them supply or recovery, but i think it's not as usefull than the other options here)
the armored units need to be assigned aswell to get planning
Yo dude should I release russia as a puppet?
no, build up compliance and then harsh it
if ur facist
Monarchist
Poland
no mp at all
all go to garrisons
I am very confused man
if u want planning for a division, the division needs to be assigned to a battleplan order with a drawn spearhead
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
what u watched was probably garrison order planning
I watched this

DISCORD talk with me http://www.discord.gg/fe...
but that got fixed in last update bc it was a bug
planning bonus is growing without any orders, but units need to be alined in it
yeah don’t listen to a feedback video, esp one that is 2 yrs old
God why are youtube tutorials so useless. And people wonder why new players cant learn anything. The guides and tutorials are BAD
garrison planning doesn’t work anymore
a lot of medals are country/ideology specific
it doesnt even have the blue guy smh
Im confused man this doesnt make sense
i try to tell bittersteel how to get a bit better sometimes but i also suck so yk
The video clearly shows the guy assigning divisions to attack with full planning bonus but they dont have direct orders
the blind teaching the blind
yeah you can do this with your frontline thingy now
yes, I just said it got fixed
it was a bug
xD
Yea pretty much ALL guides and tutorials on this game. All of them
vision impaired
Oh ffs
if u want planning now without your division moving there is a new feature for it now
best way to learn i think is to play, fail, understand why and restart.
yea the problem with that line of thinking is the game doesnt tell you what youre doing wrong
they made it a feature now after the mp community complained when they removed it
usually a lot
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
how
not really, sp teaches you nothing
theres a tool in the battleplan thingy where u draw your orders
I forgot its name
It's also because none of them so the job, so ppl keep watching more and more tuto 😉
its somewhere on the left with a man standing on the border, thinks its called cohesion or something
cohesion
Ok so let me rephrase this. What I am asking is apparently a bug that was unintended and wasnt intentional in the game.
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
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?
cohesion
ah. Ok. Well the ******* youtube video with 200k views told me to do it. Awesome.
You need a battleplan and units assigned to it but u can choose an option where the units don’t manually run to the frontline and only move when you tell them to move
Well, I can just not tell them to move forward right?
yes
I think it's this
did they change it so much recently?
Apparently what I was asking help for was an unintentional feature of the game
Well, i've learnt a very usefull thing !
cool. Love paradox grand strategy lmao
they had to change it bc they nuked multiplayer with removing the garrison planning bug
so they added that feature when we complained
I mean yea it sounds overpowered but I genuinely assumed it was a real feature of the game
It was like a feature, existed like 7 years already
So with this, unit goes in the frontline, but don't automaticaly move when frontline move ?
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?
it still makes your planning go down the same amount
with this they don’t go to the front at all, they get planning if they are on the front from the battleplan but only move when u click
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)
Ok. So lot of micro, but bonus planning.
yes
Ok but how do I do that though? Cuz I have a field marshall front, but when I move my generals along it they just sit there with no planning bonuses.
Do I need to give them their own battle plans?
its what usually ppl do with tanks in mp even before the change just with an old bug but they made it a feature now
add an offensive line?
doesnt have to be realistic
I JUST WANT PLANNING BONUS
alright screw it, im just gonna do it the old fashion way
just delete general orders, shift left click field marshal frontline
if u want just planning bonus without moving your divisions manually just make a battleplan like normally
make offensive line
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
that cohesion thing is just if u want to manually micro ur divisions
Yea I figured
so this video with 200k views is just lying. Like straight up false information
yeah because it’s outdated
most hoi players suck
you sound very frustrated
that aswell
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
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.
they often themselves don’t know why or how
Like tutorials and guides are just straight up false and give you bad information
you are right 😉
hoi4 is mostly for larping people dont really care about the game mechanics
they often like to hear themselves talking and talking
Fair enough I guess. I personally like to play along historical lines.
Subscribe if you like my content. Tried to do something different this time.
Haven't gotten my hands on the new DLC but will make video on it when it comes out.
Music used:
Personal Jesus
But people like to conqueror asia as Romania or Austria so the game facilitates that too
good starting point for tutorials
WHich is fine
Thanks
we try to hepl
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.
well, everybody starts like that, it is overwhelming much info
its very unfacilitating to new players as all systems are somewhat intertwined
But it is a roleplaying game at heart so yea. I guess it isnt SO bad. Fair enough.
never seen a game with such a complexity
just play how you want 🤷
Yea. fair enough
maybe that roleplay hinders you 🙂
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
seal clubbing...
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.
nike, just do it 😉
Thanks for the help. For like the 3rd time XD
Discord is awesome and a genuine help. Seriously.
no prob man, just ask here
You core Russia if the Soviet Union tag doesn't exist
so no
You could have puppeted your Russian lands first time around, but now you can't
Going good so far
Goated america is sending guns
Germany is justifying
Hitler assasinated???
What is unhistorical historical about
Czechs are pushing???
its joever
Its loud in eastern front not a single man in mainland poland defending
NEED HELP FIXING DLC
Okay how the hell do i solve the "No accessible regions" in navy like I'm literally at the coast of that region fym
it's often a problem with setting the right port for your fleet
i dont get it
Can you sc you fleet ?
Sc??
screenshot
like this?
more like this
im 99% sure u didn't set ur home base
click on the autoset home base button and it should fix
sorry how do i do that 🙃
it works for the other fleets but not this one
Bro how many cheats did u even use for that game
209 factories as the ottoman in 1911
Oh that
Hold on
steam takes a while to load
isnt totally compatible with TGWR but it still allows me to shit out a lot of off map factories
U removed like the entire challenge for the ottomans
but seriously how tf do i deal with this
No idea
Smth on ur side is bugging tf out
maybe those ships have like 0 range?
Is 500 km very low?
its not great but should be functional
they only have access to this
i presume thats where your naval supply hub is
can someone explain to me when to annex vs when to puppet
annex = you pay garrison manpower cost to get to use some of the factories?
thats as far as i can understand it
Thats a mod🙏
Always Annex and don't think too hard about it
thanks thats kind of what i assumed
i suppose the puppet system is just there for larping
Why min-max puppets when u can just not deal with puppet mechanics and end the game faster
Cuz like yea, on a tiny margin puppets are better, they're just so annoying to deal with
I am very smart
Nah annexing is always better especially collabing
It's better to build in Chinese states as Japan than Japan itself
Actually? Crezy
how is that
annex = always end up with more factories puppet = cant afford garrison manpower (insignificant minor powers only)
on civ you have 100% on harsh you have 125%
harsh straight up spawns in factories so
Can i win naval (in solo play) with only light cruiser ? It takes me so much time to win this spanish civil war , that will make me very late on quite everything to compete with big nations 😕
Ye Spain is kinda ass, but ye u can win navy with just light cruisers. Though maybe make some destroyers too and if you can afford them, superheavy battleships
dds have the same survivability as armor 2 cls iirc
per dic
id make some for torp tho just because heavy ships are very expensive
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
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
Remove the line arty and howitzer
The div has like no break
Cause i have no idea what im doing
I forgot what u do for break in ww1 mod
I stopped playing it cuz I looked at germany and the stupid laws are stupid to play with
What do i replace it with
Just make it a pure 34w inf brick with support arty and howitzer
Get the +10% defense or any defense stat over attack if break is still lacking
Alright
attack dont rly matter if you're getting crit
You prob have to force attack your way through france 😭
Can a minor ally like rush nuclear tech and make it worth it? Like that's their whole game plan to support their ally by having nukes, the allies focus on industry? 
Nah
1942 tech
You get nukes in 1942
And fame is already over
By then
What about any sort of special research tech like bombs and ICBMs, those kind of things? And value with them?
Idk i have not ever used them
Game usually ends by that time
In mp or sp
Ai is alr dead by 38
ICBM Iraq would go crazy
I was mainly thinking like a country like Phillipines, island nation in a good area, could help the US by doing strikes, those kind of things 
Why would you play Phillipines hist
Sit for 5 years
Then naval invade Japan if your allies decide to give supremacy
And win the game
Hold on
Ig replace Super heavy battleship with whatever battleship you got rn intil you get it
So like i did just that and Break went up to 0.8 (26.2 currently), is it still lacking?
This is with Machine Gun + Engineer Company
thats still no break
u want ur break to be higher than the enemies soft attack stat
in theory
so now look at ur own divisions soft attack stats and think if your 26 break will do anything if enemy division has similar amount of soft attack
no is the pretty obvious answer
<@&846894118219022336>
Got it
26 break 💔
just add recon tanks/flame tanks/a line tank batallion since its singleplayer
Problem
what if i dont have them
this is old doctrine/low ish break
wdym its 1 tech
200 days of research
are you unable to find 200 days of research time? assuming youre one of the minor powers not starting with tank tech
This one seems better to me, am i right ?
Field guns or howitzers?
yes
combat engineer is better
technically super hevay arti good too
which one is super heavy arty ? top left ?
oh u dont own dlc?
than nvm
the combat engineer one is best
which dlc ? i have MTG, LaR, NSB and BBA i think
the new one ofc
too expensive for now for me. I buy them when the price lower a bit. let's go for engeneer then
You still need more break
germany dlc
its tied to special projects
special projects are free
like flame tanks are nsb
MEV is basegame
ww1
but super heavy howitzer is a dlc proj im pretty sure
base game only give u flame
and assault engi?
that could be true
no thats NSB
but assault engi/MEV is base game
and the only ground project in basegame
someone drop me a good early game cas build
oh
how do i core east poland and moldova as ussr?
yo why are my divisions losing xp ?
because new fresh recruit refill them
or because you change their stuff
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
which..?
bomb locks cost more and use more weight
you can only put like 1 per plane
if u do bomb bay u need forgo dive locks
and if u do double u need forgo extra fuel
range very important for cas
because they only do battles in their circle range
U don't
Take suez
ok
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.
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
not oil
what do mills do that civs cant
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
%
yeah but your thrust is limit and the raw weight is too high
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
why tf did this happen on historical?
Is this an actual question
2 little bomb slots and single motor tier2, nothing else, costs 25 production
can we just answer it cuz im new
Mils build stuff like guns and tanks
mils produce military equipment, civs construct new buildings
Civs build mils
ok thanks

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.
Spearhead?
That's highly unfortunate
I guess wait until Hess does his flight and then it will cancel?
Oh wait no
Omg
This is supremely restarted
That's like a one in a million unfortunate
Restart
damn
Yea Just restart
And Pick this focus earlier
As u should
💀
almost*
bro i have a war justification but i cant declare because it says "is considered a major country"
Screenshot?
Oh faction rules nvm
how to deal with high loss of equipment and rifles in game?? i have frontline with sov with up to 100K missing rifles to reinforce
close your eyes and cope about it being fine
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
make more
stop wasting factories on large amounts of support equipment and artillery pieces
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.
pls upddot this comment 😭
Hello, im germany and want to use my uboats in the mediterean sea. It allows me to use them in the western side but not in the eastern and east of Italy. it says no accesebly route when they clearly have one, I mean they are docked in the region I want to use them.
they just lowered CAS damage being dealt no?
yes and no
rb understanding is right now
say u have 1k cas
only 333 will fly
at very sortie
thast why they buffed cas damage
but say u have only 1 260 cw cas battle
u get more cas damaage
CAS nerf is good i think?
but say if u have 2 u do less than before
just axis is crazy
its a buff if u have alot of cas
a nerf if u have very little
What do I do ?
u dont train them
garrison division auto trains
and manages themselve
i mean of course i would
losing them is faster than making more
or u mean just get 60 facts for frifles
because ur not making enough guns
dele man from ur army
or duplicate rifles production?
garrision takes item from stockpile
not ur army
treat garrison as completely seperate from army
So I don't have to train them at all ? Damn I thought I had to
they do not share anything
So I just have to assign template and the game takes care of the rest thanks I found it so confusing
yep
Someone have any idea?
just make sure to have the guns and man
Aight thanks
maybe u have ships assigned to other seazone
or have ships that cant cross in
nope. My subs are literary docked in the region I want to use them and habe no other region assigned
resistance and compliance is off-map in occupied territories tab
your on map divisions are irrelevant to it
It just says No accessible regions in the window where it says what they are doing at the moment
again the region next to it is perfectly fine and working. just around Italy it wont work
whats their homebase?
how are my chances looking?
also naval range only comes from naval supply hubs now iirc
if youre planning to fight both youre cooked
germany will have more stats, air, and probably more divs
it could be that
the ussr wont have that many stats, bad air but they start with a larger army than you even currently have
your manpower reserves are incredibly tiny
factory count is okay
ok, how d oI change that
control click and u should be able to set new home base
yep that was the problem, thank you very much 🙂
if I want to have a chance of survival and not get brutally beaten by the neighboring giants if I were to release belarus and ukraine will it somehow delay time on Soviets war justification?
no theyd still go for that and for you over lithuania iirc
regardless the ussr is probably easier to fight
but without air its definitely not as easy
you start with ehhh some air tech and could make a sufficient airforce to face the AI
Yeah you shouldn't fight them at the same time until Germany is on its last legs
Best one for pure infantry?
- SFL with assault inf
2.SFL with large unit tactics - GBP with large unit tactics
I did SFL with assault inf and it worked, I just want other opinions
2 for defensive, 3 for offensive
how bad is my logistics situation?
i was looking into a funny infinite org mech build you could try
its not good at anything but orgwall
sure
might as well do that
holy
imma try it for barbarossa
wait nvm i added field hospital i have dementia
i would limit all the artillery to like 5 max, use 3 bomb locks and mainly focus on fighters
you dont need the heavy machine gun turret on this
and its range should about match your fighter range
which ideally should be like 900km
I'm playing as Peru and I need to take over Panama, is there a way to go to war with them without going to war with the entire allies?
yeah by having generated less than 10 tension and world tension being below 25% when justifying on them
This is so sad.
or like sometimes someone like chile will guarantee them
and then its like whatever
what should this tank template have and what supports yall reccomend me to use?
dont do too many things
youre doing too many things
you dont have the industry for tanks + inf + air
pick 2 max
your research is limited too
you dont have a land facility i assume so tanks are a no-go
no assault engineers, no flame tanks
so what should I focus on? cas and infantry?
yes
can my friend play with me from a cracked version?
you just dont have the necessary resources for tanks (support companies to negate terrain buffs and industrial capacity to make it alongside air)
dont talk about piracy on this discord please #server-rules
to answer your question, likely not because it requires a PDX/steam account to be logged in
ok thx
Is there a way to let USA join you in d-day as the UK?

Finaly. It's april 39, the SCW is over, and i have united Portugal and Spain under the comunist flag. What could i expect so lately ? I need to build myself a production, an army, a navy, an air force.... Probably complicated to be efficient now ?

i tried to do munich disagreement but i found it rly hard to defend against the germans
any tips for czechoslovakia?
Which one may i choose ?
are you running an infantry build or a tank build
Infantry for now. But i may transition later.
streamlined
Yeah that'd be right
oh god
and u get 1k soft with good hp and org 😂
RIP special forces divs
u can even replace the inf with sf
to get special forces buff too
Which one is it, top right ?
True
bottom left
the same
Is there a mode where you can request land from other states or give them land?

im playing as the soviet union, how do i avoid stalin's purge
kill him while hes a child (idk)
Anyone have a destroyer template?
Depends on what you use them for
Just acting as a shield for your Cruisers/ battleships/ carriers?
Obliterate submarines?
Protect your convoys?
Torpedo spam the enemy navy?
Or as spotting ships perhaps (Generally not recomended, rather use light cruisers)
either the cheapest possible or none at all tbh
only for spotting
if you want spotting go for cruisers
might as well

germany buff minor. powers nerf moment
in vanilla ai games it just means get full doctrine before barb and have enough mil output
and you will win
i was showing this guy how to remotely germany earlier and he had +20 civs for -80 mils
and its just sad 💔
hey guys i have a question here
yeah?
Guess he doesn't have a question anymore
fair
what is the difference between hp and org?
if you run out of hp you die if you run out of org you retreat
any hp losses you also have to replace its representative of your manpower/equipment
stuff like tanks, artillery pieces have low or no hp meaning they will quickly die if unsupported by infantry (high hp)
