[stuck garnet]

like germany always beats ussr in videos i see but i've never played enough to get to that point

[wild rune]

?

[glacial steeple]

go into a game as anyone, open console, type 'human_ai' and then play until idk 1937 or whenever you give up

[wild rune]

What buffs do they receive?

[glacial steeple]

none

[wild rune]

Then why is it so infuriating?

[glacial steeple]

just try, you will see

[hardy kayak]

why does chile have a better focus tree than venezuela?

[scenic nacelle]

What does it do

Please don’t say try you’ll sse

I wanna not play hoi4 tn

[dim granite]

Is it worth doing the Japanese focuses for invading the USSR or should I just manually invade?

Germany isn't winning so I only get the " A Green Persimmon " focus which says that removes the First strike principle bonus and takes about 70 days to complete while I could just justify and it takes only 10 days.

[neat widget]

Well if you don't think you can get enough warscore you can peace out for Siberia

[dim granite]

Do I get the Strike first principle if I manually justify?

I am going for an all out assault on the USSR and ignoring Southern Asia ( to the dismay of the navy) so I don't think wascore will be a problem.

[neat widget]

Yeah I think so

[tame junco]

This game is hard

[arctic wave]

Can someone help me and @tame junco get better at the game we keep diying to small countrys as major powers (for example we play nazi germany and die to france and austria)

[dim granite]

In what context did that war happen?

WW2 or were you doing alt hist?

And also how large was your army and how many factories?

[hardy kayak]

if i take this focus now and later get a new territory that has one of these resources does it apply to them or does it only apply to my current territory?

[small stream]

With Japan's new focus tree, when do they attack the Phillipines? (Historical AI/route, obviously)

[hollow frigate]

Anyone aware what influences France to accept or Reject your invitation to join the EU as Belgium?

[narrow grail]

What is the difference between torpedoes and light/heavy guns?

[sullen bison]

my and friend are trying to play mp and we cant get our two versions to be correct

mine is f303 and his is 2cb7

[neat widget]

I think it applies to future territory

But you want to do it as fast as possible because you're research slot limited

[wild rune]

Have you both updated

[sullen bison]

yes

[wild rune]

Are y'all using mods

[sullen bison]

nope

[hardy kayak]

how do you get more research slots cause i've only seen one focus that gives it and its the french academy

[wild rune]

Weird

[neat widget]

ah i see you did your first political focus

for some reason you indeed can't get 4 research slots on the mapuche anti-imperialist path

this is also a research slot keep in mind

[hardy kayak]

i'm gonna go down facisim

[hollow frigate]

I've restarted quite a few times - Is it just RNG?

[neat widget]

Yeah

[hexed parcel]

I beg someone help me

IVE SPENT 4 BLOODY YEARS

[hollow frigate]

What a pain in the butt

[hexed parcel]

TRYING TO GET TO YEMEN???

WTF IS THIS GAME 😭

WHYS NAVY INVASION SO HARD

[neat widget]

Looks like you didn't assign any units

[hexed parcel]

i have naval supremacy

[hexed parcel]

HOW

I DID?!

[neat widget]

Fortunately now assigning units doesn't change the timer duration

[hexed parcel]

how do i do it 😭😭

[hollow frigate]

Are you aware when the AI makes the decision to reject or accept the invitation? It could be that it's decided when they get the event, or it could also be decided when the focus is taken.

[neat widget]

I think higher opinion helps

[sullen bison]

cancel any any other plans for that army

[hexed parcel]

I HAVE

[hollow frigate]

It's at 100 haha

[wild rune]

Maybe do diplomatic pressure?

[hexed parcel]

this is my first 30 hours on this and it’s agonising

i finally understood how to take of ethiopia

i beat them

now i want yemen

i can’t do it because my navy invasion won’t work

[neat widget]

I don't think diplomatic pressure tends to have an effect

[hollow frigate]

I'll give it a shot - Tried to dig around in the game files to find the AI weighting for the event but couldn't find the event to begin with.

[wild rune]

Its probably either in a shared txt or in belgium's

[hollow frigate]

Couldn't find it in Belgium's

[hexed parcel]

no one knows how to assign this order then

[hollow frigate]

There were only a few hits for "FRA" or "To France : " and none of them seemed to be what I'm looking for

Also looked for a shared .txt file but nothing looked quite right

If anyone can find it please do share

Is there a folder where I can look at the effects of the Belgian focuses?

[sullen bison]

cancel the order and redo it

[hollow frigate]

May be able to locate the event that gets sent to France from there

[hexed parcel]

i did that

but then i’ll end up losing

and they won’t fight again

[sullen bison]

oh well

idk

[hexed parcel]

ahhhhh

[sullen bison]

wait so whats the issue?

theres no troops assigned to the order?

[hexed parcel]

basically i’ll do the attack, i wait 50 days. attack goes through.

then when they end up losing, it says “no units assigned”

but i want a continuous battle

[sullen bison]

well

are you using marines?

[hexed parcel]

yes

[sullen bison]

im pretty sure they have a bonus on naval landings

well

[hexed parcel]

i have naval superiority

and naval

invasion support

this is genuinely torture 😭

istg they could’ve found a better way to do naval invasions

[neat widget]

well technically it is "they remove debuffs" rather than "they have a bonus" because you can never get below zero on naval invasion penalty

also this is Eritrea

So bring a railway gun here too

[sullen bison]

oh

[hexed parcel]

maybe it’s because i’m attacking the capital of yemen?

but that’s their only port

so wtf do i do

[sullen bison]

i mean you dont have to land on a port

unless you do

idk

[hexed parcel]

but i need supplies

i’ll just die without it

[sullen bison]

true

[hexed parcel]

ugh i’m not touching that game for a month

jesus

i spent 5 hours trying to figure out how to naval invade

[neat widget]

naval mines can actually increase naval penalty, but if you try to mine an area at risk of invasion it is highly likely you get wiped out if you try deploying them

[hollow frigate]

Managed to locate the event weighting options

It seems like the only thing that influences it is opinon.

Could anyone verify?

Ah okay, nevermind. Seems like it's preseeded at the start of the game.

[carmine drift]

im playing french national state, how tf do i get naval supremacy in the english channel so i can naval invade

[neat widget]

your ships are based in oran

[carmine drift]

ik but how tf do i move them to the english channel

it wont me

let me*

[glacial steeple]

you have to change their homebase

[neat widget]

The thing next to the gear icon

[ornate jackal]

just click the gear icon and they will do it themselves

[vital geode]

Ctrl right click the port you want them to go to

[molten plank]

ships have home bases?

is that why this happens to me as japan?

[rustic acorn]

yes, quite new

shift right click to amend homebase

[glacial steeple]

no, its quite old

[molten plank]

no its not

[rustic acorn]

is it?

[glacial steeple]

just before itd get range from all bases despite still having a homebase

[wild rune]

It is

[glacial steeple]

now it doesnt

[molten plank]

interesting

i learned something new

can a homebase be any port you control?

[wild rune]

No

[rustic acorn]

didnt play a few month, but I am sure that half a year ago, I did not need to amend manually

[wild rune]

Check the construction menu

[wild rune]

Its 1.17

[molten plank]

can i only do one of those huge naval bases that require a level 8 port?

or it is its own building

[glacial steeple]

you didnt, but the feature was there, just irrelevant lol

[rustic acorn]

ok

[glacial steeple]

now it and range are a lot more relevant

[wild rune]

It needs lvl 8 port

[molten plank]

That’s so dumb

[glacial steeple]

naval range is hard to get now

[molten plank]

I have to build a level 8 port just to launch a naval invasion to Hawaii which probably has 1 division

[rustic acorn]

fuel is even more a prob...

[molten plank]

I prep 40 days to invade an island with no troops

[glacial steeple]

why are you invading that

[molten plank]

Focus “eternal empire”

Requires Hawaii

[glacial steeple]

hist japan?

[molten plank]

Yes

[glacial steeple]

your priority should always be on indonesia, just like irl japan

[stuck zealot]

What does "Screening Efficiency" as a stat do? increase the +stat (40% hit/20% retreat bonus) gained by having a full screen or reduce the number of ships needed per capital to get max screening effiency bonus?

I'm trying to evaluate the "Integrated Operations" subdoctrine of naval and it's not clear to me what it's doing for me

[molten plank]

It’s the end of 1943 I got Indonesia

I got my resources

[glacial steeple]

after you take that and australia+raj youre decently safe

[molten plank]

It’s the ai I killed its entire navy in 6 months with the insane buffs I got

[glacial steeple]

and can build however much you want

[molten plank]

I’m safe

Oh also how does the Philippines resistance work

I keep having it randomly pop back into the map

[eager juniper]

Is there a mod that makes the Italian AI more intelligent?

[rustic acorn]

uhh, less???? even lesser?

[glacial steeple]

in a month maybe a couple

vanilla ai just cant reach its mussolini goals and doesnt have resources to build an economy or protect itself

just help them a bit

[amber ridge]

Any suggestions for ground templates?

[eager juniper]

;-;

[wild rune]

Inf or tanks?

[amber ridge]

Both lol

I got no idea how a good template of both inf and tanks would look like tbh

[wild rune]

I don't have templates saved

[pliant charm]

all my neighboors keep forming massive coalitions so anytime I declare on a minor nation

I end up fighting everyone

this always happens in singleplayer btw

[wild rune]

Its because you caused too much World Tension

[wild rune]

9 inf

Is a good start for defense

[amber ridge]

Hmm

Pure inf?

What abt Supports

[wild rune]

Signal Support Arty

[amber ridge]

Hm

I usually put 16 infs and filling up the rest with artis

[tame shore]

Anyone know what happens with fractional div width? Like does it round up so only 3 7.5 widths can fit in a 30 tile combat or would all 4 count?

[amber ridge]

Then put signal, arti, hospital, aa for the supports

And I just use this template for all of my divisions lol

[sand ember]

i'm not really sure what you mean, since 4 7.5 widths are 30w and would fit in a 30 tile combat regardless

assuming you mean a situation where like, you're fighting in a plains tile and you have 36w divisions

then yes you're able to to go over the cap

you're allowed to reinforce in a new division as long as it doesn't go 133% over the cap

e.g. 2 36ws are 72w, but you can still fit them in a plains tile, you just get a 2% penalty on the stats (1% for each width)

[tame shore]

W marcus, ty man. Just noticed my div widths being weird so was curious caues never knew

[sand ember]

if you just want some values that work, stick to ~32w for mountains and marshes, and 35-36w for all other tiles (this is for offensive divisions)

for defense just use 14w-18w

and you won't have issues

[tame shore]

@sand ember Is it the first number, the second, or the combined that is used for the 133% limit?

[stuck zealot]

2nd number is the added width for every tile you're attacking from. e.g. attacking into a mountain from 2 tiles around it then you can have 3 25-width divisions attacking with no penalty for a total of 75 width (normally only 50). Assuming you attack from 1 tile, total width would be 50 * 1.33... ~= 66.5

offensive divisions you don't want to fight on mountains, I'd typically aim as close to but not over 36. mountaineers I'm aiming as close as 32.5 as I can get. I more or less always use 9/0 infantry to hold the line (but I mostly play majors)

edit to add an important "don't"

[neat widget]

first plus 133% limit

second is how much additional combat width if you attack from more than one division

[tame shore]

Also dumb question, with some things like Dozer Blade giving 1 entrenchment, how much defence does 1 entrenchment give over the normal amount?

[tame shore]

Also Recon

[latent mural]

roughly what does a recon and strike force fleet look like in NCNS?

before my recon fleet was just a few cruisers and the strike force fleet had a real comp of screens and capital ships, but idk if that still makes sense

[kind bloom]

what do electricity things do guys

i meant buildings m

mb

[late widget]

how do aircraft carriers work/ do i need to assign planes to them? if so how do i do that?

[neat widget]

one of the buildings reduces energy consumption

the other increases resources gained from a state

[fathom thistle]

Click on the taskforce where the carrier is and you should see a small plane icon at the right corner at the top of taskforce tab. Then select planes you want to assign. Just keep in mind u only can assign carrier planes

[late widget]

okay thanks

[stark kiln]

guys why i don't have naval dominanse?

[fathom thistle]

Assign your taskforce to patrol in that region

[stark kiln]

thank you

[neat widget]

France is in for a horrible trick

germans having naval supremacy first thing in war while the french have none even though the french have the decidedly superior navy

[native gorge]

RT'56 problem

its been a month, but still no elections

wait is it because i did the referendum?

[loud ridge]

Can you refit a light cruiser into a heavy cruiser by changing the batteries??

[green jetty]

I think since the new update Japan feels like no matter what it does cant win against China

Like I'm micro managing everything on 2 speed and I still get swamped by equipment deficiencies, and lack of men despite success early on in the invasion

Then I try to naval invade, and get nowhere because the coastline is too well defended

I have no clue how you're supposed to win playing historical japan unless you figure out a way to delay the invasion via the Hokushin-Ron focuses

[native gorge]

Nope nvm, june 6 came and nothing happened

[green jetty]

Even producing WW1 rifles, the deficiency isn't fixed in time for the war to start

[inner sparrow]

China war got easier with the new update compared to before in vanilla

you can speed run china as japan

mostly sounds like u just do things wrong looking at production, division and so on

but u should be able to easily overwhelm china with air + inf

[fluid wharf]

china war is braindead for both side now

because no ape attack debuff

so u can push so easily

[stuck zealot]

One thing you really want to be doing early is encircling so that when you get to the really bad supply situation in south/western china, you're just walking through their line (not enough guns left by AI). I found Bike divisions fairly helpful for that. Cav or Mech works too but more painful with all the hills/etc.

[glacial steeple]

???

[native gorge]

Can anyone help out here?

[rocky lance]

As the Soviets/Russia in general, isn't is just always beneficial to build infra in the Urals, and just build industry there, your country is so big that you have so much time to counter push, historical or non historical right? Isn't is just incorrect to build in the west?

[glacial steeple]

bikes are so expensive and mevh is like a late 37-maybe 38 tech

you should be done late 37

[glacial steeple]

no its a mod issue maybe

[stuck zealot]

Japan starts with them unlocked

[glacial steeple]

yes but theyre expensive

you dont have that much IC

[native gorge]

fine ill just play Sweden ig

[stuck zealot]

Cav would also work fine, just trickier in certain terrain. Didn't realize they are more expensive. i only converted the starting cav to them and that seemed like plenty

[glacial steeple]

just make everything except hohei shidans and 2 tanks (the equipped ones) into the 12w inf

release some island puppets and stuff

[stuck zealot]

I've capped them in late 38 and early 39 in my two games so just sharing a few things that worked for me. 1st time I was messing around with ~ 6 motorized divisions for encirclements (and motored arty). Hardly optimal but I wanted to try the new doctrines.

2nd time I used ~7 blocks of beefy special forces (and subdoctrine with all the buffs in light tank recon/support arty/etc that I don't remember the name of)

Not the way I'd recommend it either time, yours is much simpler, but it was fun to try out

[green jetty]

I genuinley dont understand how people are finishing the war late 37 to early 38

What I ended up doing was sitting on the border waiting until my equipment issue is solved, then equip all my inf with arty to blast them into the next century so we'll see how it goes

[normal lagoon]

i just tried to release myself as Kurdistan to get the house of kurds achievement, doesnt seem to work anymore because it doesnt give you one core in iraq

[glacial steeple]

make more gun

less useless things

like train, truck, planes, tanks

just take support equipment out of your units and only use it for collabs with like 2 factories on it

you can keep the light tank line if you want recon tanks

[inner sparrow]

don’t use like arty, its bad for attacking, just use support arty esp after the buff. Arty is also expensive so using line arty is just not worth it for china war esp if u can get cheap guns

u win with guns + air, thats all you need

if u habe decent divisions that have support arty, fully equipped guns + air and naval invasions u will cap them in 37-38

china ai also breaks down from naval invasions, just have some shitter inf hold ur main front if ur struggling and then make 4 naval invasions and the ai will break

and ur gonna have a free walk

ofc u can also win with pushing from the main border but just takes longer, is easier to pull off tho macro wise

[green jetty]

Thats a lot harder to do when their entire coastline has 3-4 inf per tile

[inner sparrow]

china doesn’t have the ic to guard their entire coastline with 3-4 inf per tile and also guard the main border

just try again with what me and other said, it isn’t hard

its only hard if you don’t know what to do and do the usual mistakes, which happens

[loud ridge]

Doesnt china spam smaller divisions anyways

3 - 4 inf shouldnt even be that hard

[inner sparrow]

yeah but even then they lack ic to cover everything with full equipped divisions

and most of it is gun0

so they just implode in combat

[green jetty]

I have a save to show y'all what I'm dealing with one sec

[loud ridge]

nuh uh it works on my computer so it must be true

[inner sparrow]

the save doesn’t change what we said, just try again, forget the game

[green jetty]

I saved the game specifically to f1ck around with China and see what works

[inner sparrow]

fair enough

[green jetty]

Its 27 august 1937

21 mils, 38 civs, 4 research slots, and 1 army with 24 width inf divisions, and another with 12 width as just easy to make trash divisions

And one naval invasion army, and one tank army

[inner sparrow]

why 24? thats a bad width

[green jetty]

Because its all I can afford

[inner sparrow]

don’t use tanks

[green jetty]

Otherwise I'd do 32

[inner sparrow]

just put ur entire production on guns and air and some essential stuff like support eq, trucks and trains

ignore tanks

u should have 4 full armies minimum for china

[green jetty]

How are you supposed to get that with such a massive deficiency at the start of the game. Assuming you make every infantry div a death stack of just 32 width infantry with nothing in it, you'd still not deal enough soft attack to get through all the chinese trash divisions

[inner sparrow]

dont make them 32

make them 16-18 width

[green jetty]

So basically the strat is to just out-trash the Chinese

[inner sparrow]

you see big soft attack and think that means u push, which is wrong

[inner sparrow]

16-18 doesn’t mean trash, u have better equipment, u have more, ur division are higher quality and u have cas

[inner sparrow]

same reason btw why line arty isn’t good at pushing

Make 16-18 width, have support arty in them for the soft attack, u can put logi in too ig if u want or engi but not needed

[green jetty]

I've always been under the impression that the higher the soft attack the better the division at dealing damage to soft targets compared to harder targets like armor or mechanized

[inner sparrow]

in theory high soft attack means better at dealing damage but combat isn’t only soft attack but also your breakthrough and the enemy defence

if you have 0 breakthrough, good luck pushing because you wont

theres ofc also other important stats like hp and org, especially for inf

because obviously if u don’t have both of them u won’t be able to push aswell but they aren’t directly important during combat just after or before

[green jetty]

Org and HP I get, the higher the org the more they can attack and the higher the HP the more they survive etc.

[inner sparrow]

yes and breakthrough is one of the most important stats when it comes to pushing, which arty lacks

in early game its like less important bc u will lack breakthrough anyways so that part isnt important for ur china war anyways

u will be able to push with 16-18 width divs anyways, china doesn’t have better division and worse equipment and u have green air and cas

so why make big divs for higher soft, if the smaller division will push aswell?

[pliant condor]

having untrained division is a crime

[pliant condor]

the most important thing in this game is to have two divisions when your opponeny only have 1 also

you want to have basically every mil on guns

and concentrate all your equipped division to attack

it might be helpful to make empty templates(2 width converted to a larger template with guns disabled) to fill the front where you are not attacking

[night chasm]

is 67 the best meme of 2025?

[glacial steeple]

width doesnt matter for vanilla china war

you just add some arty to crit cuz you have terrible guns

[glacial steeple]

just use the 15 hohei shidans? you can even get rid of the untrained ones if you want

dont need to push in too many places

give them some nice stuff

keep your 2 trained tanks theyll do okay ish

and the rest should just be 12w

a lot of them

[unkempt aspen]

ıs this a good enough tank template for using in role of armored paratroopers?

i added this to my paratrooper designs as airbone light armor but im not sure if its good enough

[wet topaz]

Do 3 man turret, close support gun, and replace squeeze bore with another breakthrough module

Extra ammo storage, armour skirts, whatever you have that gives the best breakthrough

Always 3 man turret. You shouldn’t ever use any other turret tbh

[unkempt aspen]

oh i see

[wet topaz]

Also you don’t need torsion bar

[unkempt aspen]

when i looked the pure stats n3 men didnt give much of an adventage over 2 men since i couldnt use medium cannon anyway thats why i opted for small cannon

[wet topaz]

I would do either bogie suspension or interweaved road wheels

[unkempt aspen]

but it gives extra reliability

[wet topaz]

Close support gun gives the best soft for a light gun

[wet topaz]

You are at 90% which is super high already

You really dont need any higher than 60%

[unkempt aspen]

ohhhh i see

i didnt care about speed as its gonna go with paratroopers anyway so it doesnt need speed

[wet topaz]

Support tanks usually are made to max breakthrough, especially in this case where you are using them for infantry and special forces

Because infantry lacks breakthrough as its main stat

So you want this light recon tank to max breakthrough so your inf is really good

[unkempt aspen]

my main light tank is different than this, it has christie suspension and max speed

[unkempt aspen]

i seee

the template im using is 20 witdh

with all support companies possible

[glacial steeple]

why not HV 1 or like autocannon 2

[unkempt aspen]

(aka AA, artillery, engineers, radio company and light airborne armor

[glacial steeple]

small cannon bad

[unkempt aspen]

its a light tank

you cant use howitzers for light tanks

[glacial steeple]

fuel tanks also bad, replace with heavy machine gun extra turret

[glacial steeple]

high velocity cannon 1 and autocannon 2 are small guns

small cannon just sucks

[unkempt aspen]

oh you are talking about HV

i thought you were talking about howitzers by saying HV

[glacial steeple]

no

[unkempt aspen]

okkk i will change it to close support gun and 3 men turret + remove squeeze bore

[unkempt aspen]

but since its paratrooper i dont wan them to get supply penalty thats why i put fuel tanks

because out of fuel penalty hurts so bad

[glacial steeple]

the only stats theyll lose is from the tanks in them

which is unavoidable

regardless just land on a port so theyre supplied or paradrop all victory points at once

theyll still have initial stats to win the battle

[unkempt aspen]

i try to use paratroopers like irl ussr did, as part of their deep battle doctrine, i use them to easily encircle enemy troops

[unkempt aspen]

i see

then i also drop out the fuel tanks

[glacial steeple]

fuel tanks also just cost a lot

[unkempt aspen]

yeah they ddo

[wet topaz]

I thought it was okay because he might need fuel if it’s paratroopers

But yea

[hollow linden]

3 man turret, flame thrower 2 or csg, add armor skirts, add wheeled suspension, add PE engine, add one more ammo storage and add an MIO

That's what I would improve

For Max break

Since u lack break almost always

[glacial steeple]

prob would defend more tbh

especially if used just to encircle

[hollow linden]

Stacking def on tanks is kinda pointless though no+

Like inf doesn't lack it

[glacial steeple]

as in like just stack attack prob

[hollow linden]

Oh ye I get it now

Ye then csg

[glacial steeple]

autocannon 2 > csg if you have it

[hollow linden]

Why?

Csg has better soft no

[dusty sandal]

cost way more though, the extra soft isn't worth the extra cost since they nerfed csg
but that's minmaxing honestly, if you just want to stat max then it's fine early on

[hollow linden]

Cost don't really matter if it's for more stats. That's like saying I'm gonna use hc2 over hv3 because it costs less

That's not the point

[dusty sandal]

when it's a big cost it is

[hollow linden]

How much is the difference

Iirc csg is 4 IC?

[dusty sandal]

especially since usually when you're not using howitzer it's because you're going on a budget

[hollow linden]

Are u though

[dusty sandal]

2.75 iirc

[hollow linden]

1.25 IC is manageable

[dusty sandal]

iirc auto 2 is 1.25 as it was changed

gonna check it

[hollow linden]

Oh nvm

Ye that's big actually lol

Maybe it works with wheeled?

Oh and I'm using PE too 💀

Oh god

[dusty sandal]

gonna compare rn, I'll post the fact checked stats

[hollow linden]

Alr 👍

[dusty sandal]

@hollow linden so the real stats are :

• CSP is 4ic, 22sa, -0.2km/h, 5ha
• Auto2 is 2ic, 20sa, 7ha, -0.1km/h

so it's half the price for 2 soft less

also has no extra steel requirement

[hollow linden]

Damn alr

Csg kinda sucks kek

Thanks man

[dusty sandal]

yeah, didn't remember it being that meh

also you can do early spg with csg now that I think about it

[hollow linden]

Arty replacement

[dusty sandal]

look at this bad bad boy

[glacial steeple]

no its less iirc

23 vs 28 iirc

autocannon 1 is 15

[dusty sandal]

22 for csg
20 for auto 2

the difference's so small it's ridiculous

man I wish they added a medium canon 3 and an autocanon 3

[glacial steeple]

oh im lying then sorry 😔

[dusty sandal]

and an armored car designer

[glacial steeple]

autocannon 3 is HC 3 wdym /j

[dusty sandal]

That's what I love about TFB and Oak
at least they have such techs

[sudden heart]

how do i use the hawaii hq to get range for us???

[glacial steeple]

right next to your general it says 'NAGASAKI' thats its homeport it draws range from

they stopped drawing range from several ports and i believe can only get it from naval supply hubs now

you have to change your homebase for range

[sudden heart]

oh yeah thx

thats enough range

[subtle thorn]

i started playing hungary should i build steel mill how does it work since im new to road 56

[rocky lance]

Can I ask a question for someone who's played Soviets a lot, in MP and SP?

[scenic nacelle]

Hm?

Make more divisions

[fading fern]

If you hover over population on top left bar it will show you how many soldiers you got "in the field", in training etc

[rocky lance]

Is it not worth it every game, no matter if it's MP, SP, any path to just always build infra in the Urals/East Russia and build all your new Industry there? To always ensure a chance to come back from being pushed into bad supply lines for the enemy? I feel like it's just a safe bet always to be able to counter push if your industry is still strong that far deep?

[inner sparrow]

Build max infra in moscow, stalingrad and ufa. Build in 100% & 80% state for civs and when u start building mils always build on the height of moscow or behind it in any 100%, 80% and 60% state

u can build in leningrad and some states that are behind stalin line aswell but in mp u will lose them if equally good players

In single player u can always win and not even get pushed back a tile if ur decent, in multiplayer soviets is designed and currently loses very fast, you will always die in multiplayer and ur only goal is to hold out as long as possible till allies save u ( ofc only if enemy players are as good as you )

[fathom thistle]

SPAA in pure infantry template to get free support slot for either rangers, flame tanks or logistic companies, worth it or nah? (I mentioned logistic companies just bcs of increased ic cost for most stuff)

[inner sparrow]

spaa is just an armor meme so if u need aa and have the ic and research for an armor meme sure make spaa for your inf

[fathom thistle]

lovely

not even for armor meme just for free slot

[inner sparrow]

for that it’s not worth it then

[fathom thistle]

gotcha

[inner sparrow]

too expensive to put it your inf just to get one more support slot freed up

especially as its inf

[viscid abyss]

Should my infantry division just have 1 support artillery or do I put artillery battalions in the main thing

[inner sparrow]

just use support artillery and not line arty

[viscid abyss]

Ok

[true tapir]

W or L space marine?

[stuck garnet]

W in my opinion

[scenic nacelle]

Land Cruiser is crazy

[stuck garnet]

Those stats high asf

Now show me the costs idiot

/j

Pay up buckaroo

[narrow ether]

They guy that helped my last time to understand HOI4 because I am a beginner tutorial, please dm. If anyone wants to help a beginner that would be awesome

[sullen schooner]

YOOOO

[stuck garnet]

Like if you have the ic to adequately add a light cruiser to every infantry division

I cant stop you

But at that point just use tanks and air

233 air attack

What

What are you making

Is this a battleship or an infanfry division

You do NOT need that much air attack😭

Its good to have but at that point just start contributing to climate change on purpose mate

Like what are you trying to take down

Like cas hates you

[narrow ether]

You helped me bro?

[minor badge]

So the encirclement tip I got like a couple of days ago

Now I’m like an effective monster

I always have supply now and not go in under supplied and always taking a gamble

[sand ember]

What was the tip

[true tapir]

The whole world with ussr

[stuck garnet]

Their airforces are cooked if you have the ic to back this shit up

[minor badge]

Like I always did encirclements with undersupplied divisions while the enemy was properly supplied

I had to take the supply hubs with the railways surrounding it and when they starve you go for it

[stuck garnet]

Honestly imo usa and ussr has too many debuffs

Like early game debuffs are fine

[minor badge]

I bet the USA one is the Great Depression debuff

[stuck garnet]

Yeah thats fai4

The great depression debuff is justified

But it doesnt scale

Thats my problem

It doesnt climb

At least not compared to germany

[minor badge]

The thing I hate about these debuffs is that you can’t remove them until way later like 1940

[stuck garnet]

And nothing to compensate?

[minor badge]

I don’t think so

[stuck garnet]

My point

Like these are two pre-superpower nations

[scenic nacelle]

USA has like 1 debuff

[vernal ermine]

what does tanks do

[stuck garnet]

Yeah thats fair

But like

Wait

2 debuffs

Its not too many i agree

But these are big debuffs

And like you dont get much in return for it

[stuck garnet]

Armored units

Big stats

Decent speed

Armor

Mainly offensive unitd

Best used alongside mechanized

[bitter oak]

Breakthrough for when your infantry cannot pierce their infantry

[vernal ermine]

why not just use mechanized?

[stuck garnet]

You can get away with mots if its lights but no one uses lights cause they suck

[stuck garnet]

Not enough soft, hard, piercing

• tanks can take aa at and arty roles

Tanks are for pushing

[analog maple]

guys why do i not have accsess to trades with my asian colonzies when we control the canal?

[stuck garnet]

Ask for military/ressuply in ports maybe?

Improve relations if you have to/are willing

[analog maple]

we are in a faction

we automaticly have all that stuff

[summer nymph]

Why does it seem like planes rarely go to the regions where combat is happening when auto-assigned to armies? So often they'll just be covering airspace in the region behind the front line or something where no battles are taking place

[stuck garnet]

Hows your range?

Also cause auto assigning planes sucks

The ai is garbage

Do it manually

[summer nymph]

but that gets so tiresome in mid-late game

xD

[stuck garnet]

Why do you play hoi4 /j

[summer nymph]

i had to go manual though in order to win in Egypt, fighters were busy shooting at camels and sand in arabia

[stuck garnet]

"Its tiring" then go play a game you like playing as long as its not cod

/j

[inner sparrow]

thats just an ai thing, usa mp and a good player on usa scales heavily

every ai in the game just cant use their countries industry in a proper way

[eager juniper]

guys, i am suck invading the soviet union as germany, please help :(.

[bright briar]

Hello, somehow, I cant proclaim the new order. I have defeated the soviets, and made sure to take all there land, and I gave it to my protectorates and releases the rest as a puppet. Im still at war with the allies, and at first I was missing Corsica which was handled as owned by me but not controlled by me. Long story short I have Corsica back now, but somehow it still doesnt work. I have searched but I cant see any more states with the same problem. Does anybody know whats wrong?

[scenic nacelle]

Check if one of ur puppets own ur cores

[bright briar]

where can I check that?

or do I just have to click the province

[shrewd rain]

hey guys i have 50 scout planes and 100 fighters on the gulf coast but only the fighters are coming, the scout planes are set to air recon but dont do anything and i cant see any troops

[bright briar]

okay so I have a claim on böhmen Mähren but its only a claim that shouldnt be a problem right?

[sudden heart]

not enough stats (and armor) to justify landcruiser, u can use a heavy spg tank for the same armor + make it 35/36width

[shrewd rain]

?

[sudden heart]

also needs a med flame tank

[bright briar]

nope no one holds a core of me

[scenic nacelle]

Show the requirements and map pls

[bright briar]

ok

wait a sec

1

[sudden heart]

nah ignore all of that , put 15 -20 mills on early medium bomber with 2 cas modules and 4 light machine guns and a range module, the rest on guns, spam 10 width-> profit

[sudden heart]

only build mills

[bright briar]

good enough?

[scenic nacelle]

Burger land?

Between Austria and Hungary

[dusty sandal]

owned = any stated you annexed during a peace conference

did you create the checz puppet through a decision/reichkommisariat focus or through the munich conference ?

[scenic nacelle]

I personally hate the formable

So annoying to find thr errors

[dusty sandal]

my guess is that this checz puppet was created through reichkommisariat decision and as such is blocking you

[scenic nacelle]

@bright briar lend lease the Bohemia puppet a lot of random stuff

[dusty sandal]

pretty sure they're a collab governement so you can't annex them

[scenic nacelle]

Bro 😭

[bright briar]

uh

and that would mean what?

[scenic nacelle]

U can’t form it

[bright briar]

in general?

with this setup I mean?

[glacial steeple]

vic

[glacial steeple]

you can

[bright briar]

its like this

Its a protectorate

I dont think I got it through the munich conference

So I just have to annex them by a big chunk of lend lease as the best option correct?

[pliant condor]

even worse it's a rk

no core

[dusty sandal]

since when ? I got locked out of achievements because of mislclicks like that

[versed rose]

collabs have autonomy mechanics too, they go up to integrated puppet or down to annexed

you purchase enough from a collab France or US or w/e and they become a puppet instead

[dusty sandal]

collabs can't go up in autonomy, that I'm absolutely certain of
only regular subjects can do that
collabs spawned through event (compliance-related) cannot

[bright briar]

yeah but that shouldnt be a problem right?

[pliant condor]

click on puppets and check if you can lower their autonomy

I think rk goes into annexed directly?

could be wrong

click on the autonomy thingy and check

[bright briar]

here

no its a protectorate still

[dusty sandal]

keep building in them and sending them equipment (the higher the value, the higher the autonomy reduction) and save up political power (hundreds of it)

[bright briar]

yeah I try I will inform you if it works

[bright briar]

so

they are integrated, that worked, but it still wont let me form it 🙁

[pliant condor]

huh

ok this would take forever

but you can try

[bright briar]

what can I try

[pliant condor]

do you have console

[bright briar]

Hello?

pahaha

nope

[pliant condor]

ah

then you just need to find the state

[bright briar]

oh man

[pliant condor]

or you can deironman the save and run a console command to find it

if you send me the save I can do it

[bright briar]

I dont have iron man on

what command?

Ah sorry I thought you meant like xbox console lol

[pliant condor]

huh

oh

wait 1 sec

[bright briar]

I mean a also have a claim of namibia but that shouldnt be problematic right?

[pliant condor]

eval_effect GER = {
every_owned_state = {
if = {
limit = {
NOT = { is_controlled_by = GER }
}
transfer_state_to = GER
}
}
}

ok this is cheating, it simply transfers the owned but not controlled states to you

[pliant condor]

any state that you took in a peace conference must be held

basically

[bright briar]

Ill use the cheating see if it works and than go back to the uncheated safe

yeah it would work now

is there a log somewhere where I can see what happend?

oh

wait

oh I understand

I overthrew vichy france, and receaved the land in afrika they were holding as owned territory

aw man

[pliant condor]

if you peacedealed them yes

[bright briar]

I need to basicly take over afrika first now

I did it with the event

[pliant condor]

oh yeah that's quite painful

hmm acutually

check if it includes other french colony

[bright briar]

yeah wait

its just this part of africa

[pliant condor]

yeah

make sure there isn't any other stuff like syria or whatever

[bright briar]

shouldnt be

thank you verry much

🙂

[glacial steeple]

make sure about madagascar and kerguelen too

and other holdings

[gusty briar]

Lol y does Japan Chinas white peace deal not end the war between china and Japan's puppets, that seems like a wild oversight

[static turret]

because paradox is paradox

[unique ingot]

how do i raise war tensions as anarchist spain?

need to declare war on britian and france but tension stuck at 0%

this is after world war two btw

rn theres a way between comintern and allies but tension is still 0%

[charred fable]

Any advice for playing Axis Venezuela?

[shrewd rain]

yeah there might be but idk them

[fathom thistle]

How do I get that new assault troops support company ?

[hasty belfry]

Could 5/4 armored divisions work if you can’t afford a 10/8?

[glacial steeple]

just make less pushing divs?

small is always way worse for attacking

takes more losses too

[hasty belfry]

I’m more talking about manpower as a concern here.

I’m gonna play as fascist Mexico and they don’t exactly have the most manpower.

[glacial steeple]

if manpower is a big concern vs vanilla ai always go big divs

[hasty belfry]

Until I undo the cession at least.

[glacial steeple]

so you lose less

[tough oak]

Does disregarding Saint-Germain-en-Laye as Austria get your guarantees removed if you were guaranteed by USA, France and Italy through focuses

[tough oak]

anyone can answer this I need it rn

[fathom thistle]

Mission type tactics or desperate defense for purely defending?

Cuz the org bonus for mission type is a lot

[tough oak]

is the desperate defense the picture of a man on a chair with a gun

[fathom thistle]

Ye

[tough oak]

Its more about mp

not org

what country?

[fathom thistle]

Ceshocslovakia

Just trying defense with new dodginess

Doctrines*

[wet topaz]

😭 Czechoslovakia

[tough oak]

Mission type tacticts

Desperate defense is literally in the name

for desperate times

[fathom thistle]

Alr bet and for infantry sub doctrines? Great war inf or defensive postures

[tough oak]

Anyways does anyone know bout this

[tough oak]

Great war is entrenchment which is goated

[wet topaz]

Uhh neither id recommend

[tough oak]

Not sure defensive postures

[wet topaz]

I’m not sure

[tough oak]

Do I gamble anchluss risk

[fathom thistle]

• 40 entrenchment basically

• 10 org 10 sa 10 defense

[tough oak]

I generally use Great war for defensive as that was what I was recommended

check stats

use depending ig

[fathom thistle]

Bet

[sacred patrol]

how can i speedrun not being a dominian

[tough oak]

gain a lot of war effort or what ever it was

[wet topaz]

Large infantry offensive or whatever it’s called is the best usually

Reducing combat width is super powerful

[gilded karma]

Hi guys, quick question, is an 18 width inf div with support arty, aa and engineers any good as a general use div?

Optionally with field hospital

[sacred patrol]

umm, that aint happening

[stuck garnet]

Hey

Air/navy doctrines

Please

[wet topaz]

Base strike

And for air just try to maximize fighter agility

[stuck garnet]

Sub doctrines as well?

[wet topaz]

Whatever doctrines and sub doctrines give bonuses to agility matter most

[wet topaz]

Uhh I forgot the naval names for sub doctrines

But for the carrier one do the one where it’s like floating airport or whatever and gives sortie efficiency

I think it’s the most top right in the carrier sub doctrines menu

If you show me all the subdoctirnes I can help more

[wet topaz]

Yes but tbh I wouldn’t use engineers

Too expensive for inf

[neat widget]

engineers' main effect is that they give you like 10-20% more defense

Secondary effect is that they have terrain bonuses, but for that assault engineers are better

entrenchment is only a tertiary effect unless your division is large

[gilded karma]

Ok thanks

[neat widget]

also you don't really need the defense when you already have 300 defense

[gilded karma]

Yeah that's fair

[neat widget]

as for the secondary effect you don't really need that either if you have better offensive units with assault engineers

will say you might actually need the dfeense if you're in MP, since you're facing tanks with like 500 soft attack

[narrow grail]

Can efficiency cap be over 100%

[sand ember]

yes

[neat widget]

Yeah the Soviets do this a lot in fact

[opaque garden]

what is the best Belgium path?

and which is better rex or vlaamse Nationale volkspartij?

aka vnv

[charred fable]

Why can't I repair my ships??

[wintry matrix]

Did you add dockyards to repairing ones?

Open the production tab.

[charred fable]

Yeah, the manual press just doesn't do anything

[hollow frigate]

Hey guys,
Playing Hungary and considering putting Gombos in charge instead of Szalasi.
But doesn't he die?
I don't wanna take that stability and war support hit if Gombos is just gonna kick the bucket soon enough anyway.

[charred fable]

I just don't understand the new naval mechanics. My ships don't leave port to engage the enemy despite being on strike force and my patrol fleet spotting enemies.

[restive galleon]

how to gid rid of attrition?

[hasty belfry]

Would this be better for tank divisions that mobile infantry since in reality you don’t need the speed mobile infantry grants because the speed is limited by the tanks anyway?

Since I would be using armored recon and medium flame tanks for tank divisions.

And the support artillery buff can help the 18 width line infantry with support arty,

Actually wait.

If I read this right mobile infantry would grant motorized 40 more org.

In addition to 10% more soft attack and .10 more recovery rate.

The org alone might make if worth it.

[charred fable]

Do you need naval dominance for your strike force to attack?

[sleek karma]

am i cooked?

[upper basin]

Switzerland?

How?

[sleek karma]

idk i didnt attck them

[upper basin]

Cooked for real this time

You can't have Axis Gold

[sleek karma]

bro im new at the game

[upper basin]

There's a reason why Germany didn't declare war on Switzerland, and you're now in war with them

Hmmm

Is the historical Ai on?

[sleek karma]

amybe bc of italy

[upper basin]

There's one path of Switzerland if I remember correctly that allows them to expand

But always off when historical AI is on

[upper basin]

Nope

[sleek karma]

idk bro but i dont have any army left

[upper basin]

You do

[sleek karma]

they are fighting against france

[upper basin]

Give Manstein's divs to some other generals

[sleek karma]

IDK HOW

[upper basin]

Er...

Click manstein

Then show the screen to me

[sleek karma]

im not playing rn

[upper basin]

Oh

So basically to transfer one divs or many from one general to other generals

You need to click the divs or the divs name

[sleek karma]

come in helping lounge

[upper basin]

Ah not today

I'm walking on the street for college

[sleek karma]

broooo

[upper basin]

Class is about to start

[sleek karma]

i already started the game

[upper basin]

Just show the screen twin

[sleek karma]

wdym show the screnn watch my stream

[upper basin]

I don't want to open my laptop in the middle of the road 🫩🙏

Ooh alright

[fading fern]

Which minor nations can reach five research slots?

Just played Brazil and 4 slots sucks.

Doesn't matter if it needs a lot of work to reach 5

As long as it's possible

[glacial steeple]

all generics, anything in europe really, india, new zealand can get 6

[fading fern]

Oh, so Brazil is kind of an exception?

[glacial steeple]

kind of

[north quail]

how does 4 suck i dont even know what to research i need less slots

[glacial steeple]

manchu can get 5

[north quail]

💀

[glacial steeple]

all chinese states can too

[north quail]

i got 4 as kurdistan

[glacial steeple]

just some new nations cant and some nations like chile are locked at max 3

[north quail]

and like 5 as turkiye

or was it 4 idk

[glacial steeple]

less is always worse

[fading fern]

Well, I'm new and I just like to research everything. It's fun to upgrade units

[north quail]

im new too

i had 44 units and lost to irans 21

[glacial steeple]

yeah it isnt just quantity vs quantity

its about quality

[fading fern]

Thank you

[north quail]

when i play germany i cant get past belgium because allies always intervene bro

[glacial steeple]

you also need to properly equip your units, give them manpower

[north quail]

they just shit out 40 troops onto belgium

[glacial steeple]

that should be nothing

like thats not even a lot

[north quail]

2 24 divisions cant win

we all just sit there at a stalemate

[glacial steeple]

idk what youre doing but watch some tutorials

[north quail]

lmfao

[glacial steeple]

it doesnt sound like youve put any sort of thought into your gameplan and just spam out infantry and expect to win

[fading fern]

Anything Arabian that can reach 5 slots?

[north quail]

i start at 1939

and spam a bunch of panzers

[fading fern]

I like shithole starts and then snowball

[glacial steeple]

ah

[north quail]

i like action

[glacial steeple]

half of hoi4 is the economy/buildup

you cannot choose to just ignore it

[north quail]

lmfao why ist there a 1939 option then

[glacial steeple]

it hasnt really been properly updated in years

its just been there since the game launch

in hoi3 there were a lot of start dates as the game was much more historically railroaded

[north quail]

i choose 1939 gather up units and start attacking

its fun until you start losing to belgium

[fading fern]

Well, 1939 works better if you know what you do, because it's way harder without 2-3 years of building economy

[glacial steeple]

39 start date is bad and mega axis bias

he just hasnt learned how to either do any buildup at all or do combat

[glacial steeple]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WCqXIRRVZIY

[upper basin]

Crazy work for picking 1939

[fading fern]

Well, in 1936 axis seems to get stomped everytime if the player doesn't actively fight the Allies. At least that's my observation

[upper basin]

I'm sorry what?

[north quail]

is there like a sandbox thing where i can just spawn units and stuff to test lol

[upper basin]

Why would the axis attack the allies at 1936

[fading fern]

No, in the 1936 scenario in general

[upper basin]

Oh

[glacial steeple]

yeah theres a cheat menu

[north quail]

can i ask where

[glacial steeple]

i wouldnt use it yet though

[north quail]

ok

[glacial steeple]

your first goal should be building enough mils, researching production + weapons before your enemies

[upper basin]

I mean if I can play Czechoslovakia and fend off the German invaders till 1941, I believe Germany could beat Sov

[fading fern]

If I chose a spot not in Europe and build my little fringe empire I watch the axis always loose

[upper basin]

Ah... That one

[glacial steeple]

and deploying your forces with better weapons than your enemies

while keeping positives in stockpiles

[upper basin]

Axis usually win in my games

[glacial steeple]

cheating is good for testing higher battle stats

[upper basin]

Because Sov Ai sucks hard

Even when China is stomping Japan 1943

Sov would lose like idk why

[north quail]

why cant i break through the southern ethiopian front as italy

it keeps saying we are currently losing!

[fading fern]

Why does you killing hundreds of thousands of Germans at your border help Germany win vs the Soviets : D

[upper basin]

No no, I mean it like comparison

[fading fern]

I always watch Hitler get stalled in Ukraine and then Italy breaks and it's over

[upper basin]

Huh

Weird

Why my Sov Ai sucks

Prolly dlc's

[fading fern]

When playing Italy tutorial deploy all your forces from the mainland and lybia too. 24 north including the mountaineers. 22 south.

Battle plan both armies to addis abbeba and watch Ethiopia get pawned.

Don't forget to bring every plane you have. And build a railroad to addis abgebaut while conquering

[north quail]

ok so idk how to move troops from libya to ethiopia like through the water idk

[fading fern]

I play with subscription so that's quite possible

[upper basin]

Transport troops via convoy

Move your troops to the nearest naval dockyard

[north quail]

bruh it never worked for me why does it work now lol

i look stupid

[upper basin]

Ooh

At least you know how to do it now

It's good, we learn from mistakes

[north quail]

yeah thank both of you

[upper basin]

No problem

[fading fern]

Easy way: attach the troops to an army and make a frontline. The AI will send the troops en route automatically

Hard way: send them to a port and from there to another port. You have to right click the little port icon, otherwise they try finding a land route

[upper basin]

I always do it the hard way because sometimes there's no frontline to make

So you must do the hard way

[fading fern]

Yea or they go a thousand km by railroad instead of boarding convoys directly

[fading fern]

I think a fallback line works too. Or defending area

[upper basin]

True

I believe you need naval dominance too @north quail , so just remember that when you want to send your troops afloat

[fading fern]

I like that because all I have to do is set a general to defend near front and then give him troops. And they beeline from everywhere too him via rail

[upper basin]

Right

[fading fern]

I think that's only for invasions. My regular convoys always traveld even through red seas

[north quail]

my 40 troops are still losing

[upper basin]

Against who?

[north quail]

ETHIOPIA

[upper basin]

[fading fern]

So sending stuff to ethiopia is no problem. They need a few weeks and then it's easy

[upper basin]

How are they losing?

Lack of organization?

[north quail]

bro mussolini gets overthrown

[north quail]

how check

[upper basin]

Which phase is this

[north quail]

at the start of the game

[upper basin]

The green one

[north quail]

?

[upper basin]

Green bar on divs

[north quail]

oh

yes

[fading fern]

Did you just battle plan to the capital or are you trying to micro? If battle plan, set it to aggressive execution. And don't forget the air support. 200 planes south, rest north

[north quail]

its low

[upper basin]

Rip

[north quail]

idk how to use air

[upper basin]

Micro is fun when you know it

[upper basin]

Click aircraft icon

[north quail]

welp some tutorials i gotta watch then

[upper basin]

Yeah

Tutorials first

I learned Hoi4 no tutorial for 2 days, one hell of a life

[north quail]

i wonder how the first guy who started playing got through

[upper basin]

...

Devs?

[north quail]

nah like the first purchaser

i bet bro uninstalled

[dense plaza]

the best way to learn the game is to screw around with the game untuil you figure everything out

[fading fern]

You select aircraft and then you either micro or attach them to a general

[upper basin]

The best way to learn for me is trial and error

Yeah that

It makes you memorize everything too when you screwed something up

Also, tutorials don't really explain everything, just the basics

[fading fern]

When selected, theres a + symbol over generals head.

Just drag a rectangle around all your aircraft and attach them to the northern general.

Or better, give southern guy 100 fighters and 100 cas too

[upper basin]

And you don't get the same feeling as knowing something up by yourself lmao, I was so happy the first time I knew what to do and learning the focus tree by myself

[fading fern]

For real, I read so much stuff in the ladt two weeks since playing, but I slowly know what I do. Or at least hiw : D

[upper basin]

Hoi4 is about history, and experience

Not the war, but the way you know that you must stand up by yourself, leading the others into victory

That's what makes Hoi4 memorable

[upper basin]

Lmfao

I read the wiki sometimes for more spoilers of the nation I'm going to play

[fading fern]

For me it's researching, seeing a plan work out, and map painting.

It's also fun too watch how the world plays out

[upper basin]

Until border gore

From the allied forces

[north quail]

ok how do i deploy aircraft

[fading fern]

At my border there is no gore. I annex everything. The colors have to match

[upper basin]

Deploy or assign?

Wait

[north quail]

deploy

[upper basin]

You need manpower + aircraft

[fading fern]

A few comments up I gave you the shortest version

[upper basin]

Lemme get my laptop

[north quail]

oh

i didnt see lol thx

[upper basin]

Just click that

Do you see the plane icon?

You can find many things there

[north quail]

i attached it

so do they automatically like

help my general

and its army

[upper basin]

Yes

[north quail]

oh cool

If you want to micro, you chose a mission, send them to an airport, and then right click the area you want to fight in.

But attaching to general is the easiest way. I always do it

[north quail]

so how do i get organization

[north quail]

i see that now

[upper basin]

Just let your divs stay

And don't move it

[north quail]

...?

[upper basin]

That's how you recover orgz in general

By letting them rest on the frontline

By time, your divs will get their orgz

There are buffs from military advisors that could help it recover faster

[fading fern]

Correct. When in other areas of the world and if you got some industry you can also build new airfields at the front.

They are cheap and it helps if there's not enough space for the planes your general brought

[upper basin]

Nvm

It's for recovery rate lmao

Not military advisor, but rather from your general themselves

Also your own divs have their own max orgz

So one divs of inf might be different than one divs of panzer div

[fading fern]

Organization is a stat of a division. If you open a division template in designer you can see and potentially change it.

Organization determines if your troops can move or even fight at all. 0 Organization means defeat

[north quail]

ty

[upper basin]

Yeah, even if you have your HP full

Your divs would still be defeated due to bad orgz

[north quail]

ok so i gave the offensive line order with the execute battle plan aggressively but they arent moving

[upper basin]

And this is why the terms encirclement exist

[fading fern]

Imagine 0 organization as your troops scatter because everything went to shit
