nope im in preparation
i have sov
always get uk first!!!
and look
its 1944 and japan didnt decalred war on US
I cant stress heo important that is
i know
i want historical
then ur supposed to be losing rn
convoy raid uk everyone but the channel and have your fleet on patrol in the english channel with cas/navy bombers on bombing
evrywhere*
what is did was just collab France 3x and yoink their shipyard and navy
thats the best way
u have still negative pp gain?
Is Germany ever going to attack me I reformed the whole empire but no Germany invasion yet
yh that good but uk is a island once your subs convoy raid your starving them in 2 years max they wont be capabale of producing anything
i can get UK guys but im on Wonder weapons projects i want to win in technology not in army to army war
nah I capped them in a year with that brainrot strat
if u didint do one of this focus
yes
of course i replaced borman with SS becouse im SS nerd
but u know
i still can pp tho and max up
this gameplay is crazy
japan is in peace in 1944
made truce with china
china joined allies
its not good man...
Basic explanation of the game the only top tabs you need to care about are focus tree production and constitution and deployment for now
In Construction you have factories Green ones which are mills and Orange factories which are civs this is all you need to care about in construction for now - civs make you build stuff faster and mills give you a better Millitary industry.
In production you have your millitary industry for each mill you have built you can assign 1 to your industry the game starts you of producing equipment so you don’t need to change any of this you just up the values if your able to
Focus tree you click on your flag in the top left and click on the big box this is just what lets your country do political stuff over time the description of the focus tells you what it does which can be seen by clicking on it
In deployment this is how you get extra units you can click train unit to start training units you then assign it to a tile and then once trained and equipped it will deploy
——-
There’s a lot more to this and explaining and learning the game can be tricky and therefore I recommend you watch alot of other people play the game as you learn as it will speed up your process
If you have any questions lmn
did i break it?
im doing bombers and missiles
v2s?
Do you have the command power and pp?
they destroy infustructure
to see what happens
and everything bascily tbh
yes
Could you send a full screenshot of the image?
Like your full game so I can see everything
it can ive played unhistorical and uusr surrender in 1941
when i played the kaiser
i once saw smth about when u spam nukes thay condition surrender
in my non his ussr didnt surrender i had to do the ural march it was painful T-T
Russia and Russia???
Are you doing any focus rn?
industrial focus
ye but they losed 6.8 men
Game is breaking bro
they gived up after having 0 manpower
Do you have a Wargoal on anyone?
no
oh really? i never had them at 0man my most kills was 4/5mil i think
Did you earlier click the event that threatens to annex them?
no
i started one decision to do some bribery but then it changed to industrial and military so it may have broken because of that
since it never finished
and anchullus is lowk high rn
do the anti anchullus decisions
I would recommend 1 tile higher in the south due to it being on the airfield
im just gonna restat since i cant even do the czech decision
thats like half of that part of the focus tree
Fair enough your kinda cooked anyways even if you got Hungary at this time
il play austria to help you bc i didnt realy played it in a while
germany without anchullus is weak asf
how to take over europe with germany, do i play historical or no
i normaly play without realistic
I’m great with Germany up till 1940 then the British kill me
i can just get beter relations then it will work?
Yeah but you don’t know what’s gonna happen, so stupid shit happens. It’s easier to play normally
welp
unless he take uk beforre usa join
The allies will come for you once you raise the world tension
My game is ridiculous I attacked Germany bro
u can do the atschluis or what ever its called yk
restart and build forts on this lines
i do not belive we are in the same situation
lol I got lucky idk wtf Germany doing in this alt historical game
They joined up with the South American factions
Imperial Germany can opt not to and instead create an Austro-Hungarian ally which could potentially more than make up for it.
i wanna play as germany but i dont wanna get half of russian, poland, baltics and some other nations but then i get jumped by allies, waht do i do bro
try and cap uk before usa join its the only major in the allies before us
so hitler got assinaited what the hell?
Also too lazy to screenshot?
i saw a guide how to get uk as germany in the 1st year but when i try it dont work, they too strong
I guess I annexed everything I could and the strength required for anclhuss was there
Yes✅
yea no hitlers not there
I did nothing no micro I just set an offensive line
which german path is that
austra hungary guys where you at lol
make paratroopers
i always thought of making them, i should try this round im gonna start
my version is allied with usa which is at war with uk who is in my faction XD
the new navy is shit
Lmao I’m in the allies now
Idk what to do
Hmm maybe invade the rest of Europe without trying to attract allied negativity
ive put my entire navy in the eng channel and sub to cony all around uk and i was able to invade them in previous game
maybe wait a bit before putiing your navy on patrol in the eng channel until your subs start hitting uk producation with lack of resource
oh and use cas/naval bombers espcially on port strikes
This game is ridiculous if I’m in the allies I can’t declare war goals???
okay
lol
im gonna use both navy and paratroopers
Refuses to let me start war
air*
okay
i cant understand navy anyways
Probably one of the inner circle paths.
navy not hard guys T-T
it is bro
@tribal stratus what you think should i betray my uk or help him with usa?
i will be forced to naval invade i am not aproaching canada with a 10foot pole
Betray easily.
If you have the air
My runs cooked unless I get lucky with a UK air invasion this was a test run
wait
japan own part of mexico
i can just attack form there once i justify on mexico lol
I love alt historical ridiculous ass shit always happens bro it’s hilarious
Who else is in the allied faction?
that why i love playing it
Fr
and yes i am using the anime mod discoverd it yesterday lel
btw how can i share a replay like those on yt?
What are these stats bro
I need to put in mods lmao
ignore manpower need to release some puppet
garrison is my bane of my existance
Why is japan asking to join or inviting you to a faction bro
I’m ngl I’m straight ahh at this game I can never beat the Soviets as Germany
I need to lock in
they have been trying since 39 XD
ive been ignoring them lmao
well it will the axis of uk , japan and germany lol
btw about the replay anyone know how?
The axis of Ethiopia Japan former Germany hondarus and Costa Rica
I don’t understand why it keeps calling me a democratic nation when I’m Austria Hungary is it cuz I’m in the allies?
I guess so
so late game im gonna start by reaserching paratroopers, then ill justify agains a british colony or what ever they are called, then ill get a lot of paratroopers and place them everywhere around england where i can, but can i even reach england late game? and will i even win?
para early in late game usa join there faction
reachers para 1 and in the focus tree of the air there a bomus you can get for apra 2 and 3 i bilieve
i mean early game mb
k
How do I invade France without going through the maignotni legit can’t declare war on any nations bro
Poland in Africa bro
as ger?
wtf is this event
Austria
game is breaking in 1944
I can’t declare war on any nations bron
leave the allies
I can’t leave the allies
I would
I cannot
They are fighting Japan
And Costa Rica
And South American
at this point just sit back and watch or send voluneteer
fight japan there the major once they cap the war end
Yeah more or less
Nothing I can do
Lmao
I’ll try some focuses
Maybe something will met do that
Let
You could actually screenshot me somethings and i could help you
Or send me your save game i could check it out and tell you where the issue is
i fixed it by replacing my 1938 design with a 1941 design and just upgrading all my divisions
@errant pecan idk whatever
At least it is solved, good for you
Btw how could you write your name like that?
no clue tbh, an online friend i had did it for me like 4 years ago
i think he used a website for some weird alphabet
whats the best template for garrison template
Ok it looks good tbh
Thx anyway
yw ✌️
A division of cavalry battalions with support military police company or motorcycle police (Gotterdamerung)
If you have a surplus of light tanks, or armored cars (La Resistance), you can use them too to lower garrison casualties
alright
i just use a 3x3 infantry division, how bad is that compared to what it should be?
In a garrison role, they are decent, but cavalry has higher suppression which means you require less equipment for them
so just 3x3 cavalry to save equipment?
Yeah, or you can fill the entire 25 battalion slots
I never knew therewas motorcycle police wow
alr tyy ✌️
They came out with Gotterdamerung
I think the more you do the more suppression you get
But are essentially better than foot MP
it should just be horses and police company no other company
Yes
prolly, but i dont have an idea of how much slots i can afford to match my manpower/production situation
Are you new?
To the game
Ofc
i have like ~50-100 hours but im not capable of beating the USSR as fascist germany
Yeah that is actually not easy haha😄
I couldnt do it in my first 3 germany playthroughs
i cant in like 15 attempts
on civilian 💔
how much paratroopers can i send
If you would like i sometimes play multiplayer games we could play together i can help you understand the game a little bit
per plane
2 divisions of paratroopers per wing
I am acttually bored of the singleplayer mode so i am strarting to find some people where we can play multiplayer
so 50 transport planes per division
okay
Wdym on civlian?
yeah sure, i can only play 1/2 weeks tho
civilian difficulty
Np whwnever you can just tell me
What you even change difficulty?!
next week cause i like just left and wont have a decent pc
I feel like changing difficulty in this game is criminal cuz it just gives buffs or debbufs and doesnt make AI SMARTER
i played communist china, strengthened china to the max, put on civilian and still couldnt proclaim the PRC
Sure
Btw I play on a pc with no graphics card and its okay 😔
Kinda🙄
thxxx
NO graphics card??
That is so costly man
Np maybe you just dont understand some mechanics, i had the same issu back then
Yes😭
Lastly Bicycle infantry if you have it available also has higher suppression than foot infantry, but cost way more IC for the same suppression value as cavalry
Does it require more support equipment?
lets say that im going to war with a nation, and there is another nation next to it that has a good opinion of the nation im gonna go to war with, can i improve relations with the good opinion nation so they can attack me if im gonan go to war with the other nation? ask if u need me to explain
That is so unrealistic
tannu tuva simulator
Idk what is that
I can't switch the damn law
The power of the people will🙋♂️
Ah yes
Usually they would join only if they are in a faction with that nation.
Yes
oaky so im good since they arent
i hope
So cavalry as your garrison, then you can upgrade it to armored cars or tanks when you have enough production
😹✌️✌️✌️
yh i have no clue what im doing 💔
especially navy
so if possible just use cavalry instead?
You can keep using cavalry for the entire game yes
what differences does it make which doctrine i chose now since all the like smaller ones are the same
do they give different buffs
guys besgt medium tank template?
They have something like infinite manpower in a certain way
@tribal stratus naval inavded the USA lmao
Np i will help you with it
They say i am a good teacher haha
You are not evenat war with USA
He is
i am cant invade a country i am not at war with
USA units are blue not red
Maybe you control florida some other way
Bro ur dumb
he is lvl 4 with 9 logistics
And you are impolite
how do I fix this?
Did u EVER press the unit colors button
No i never knew this was an option🤨
For those who own the Trial of Allegiance DLC, What is the most "interesting" path for Brazil? I'm torn between Integralist and military/Estado Novo, but I'm only avoiding the military option because I don't know the effects of Non-Aligned.
I never know everything about this game no matter how much i play
really?
im new to the game
Yes, that's tradition in any, literally any Paradox game.
Sadly yes
Especially those from the Hoi, EU, and Vic franchises. Every gameplay is something new.
how long does it take to learn the basics 🥲
depend on each person
Like do you guys know rivers can transport supplies?
Many estimate it to be around 100 hours. I would say between 10 and 30.
i am 167h and i understand the basics
wtf?
I just knew that few days ago
u got lucky dawg
hell
How many hours do you have?
That will look honestly fun to fight
I dont think the soliders will have as much fun
It’s a game
really?
geniuses think alike
Respect mate🫡
They think alike independently
yessir
still look fun?
No my game got super boring after tbh. I couldn’t invade anyone since I joined the allies
Super boring
So there was no point in literally doing anything
Yeah
why u lyin
I’m not?
u are
Did anybody ever play manchunko?
I was very bored of the game today so i tried something diffrent
It is kinda good but not the best and most fun
you dont even border them its fiine
just kill germany
no
i do
romania cuts you off
bukowinq
how did get the the balance of power to the left?
I want to restore the papacy
but mussolini support is way too high
Rare moments of italy not being italy
I dif all of them
i need it 95 percent to the left
I can get 45 percent from hiring advisors
but thats it
please help
maybe theres a focus
there aint
sometimes if you wait you can take the decisions again
it aint enough
wait I lose support if I lose my cores right?
yeah
and if there is any mission in 1939 fail it
that doesn't affect this
oh
which countries usually have a lot of tank research
GERMANY
except them
Wdym
am tryna borrow some tech but i dont wanna bother checking every country
their dead
Like every major
legit none has any good tech
I went communist and conquered the whole American continent. It was fun. But only 4 research slots is hard
Well it’s AI
really?
in german focus tree, what is the "influence" do and mean, like for example, influence the beneluc, what does ti do
it says it in the focus
i dont understand
can i claim it without going to war or what
they grow more fascist
Ai is bad
ahh okay
Are there any quality of life mods that better highlight provinces so you can see potential flanks more easily?
Why do my 2 friends have the same checksum and mine is different even though we all have the same mods
Guys I am playing as germany and I landed in britain. for some reason though my divisions dont supply even though i have a port, naval dominance and a lot of convoys. what is the issue? for context i have only 24 divs in the region to avoid overstacking
Influence focuses are funny because imagine you're Iran, you can get like 50% communist support within a year without doing communist paths
And then from there it's just a stone's away from becoming communist while, like, having all of the monarchist cores
Hey! Am trying to play with a friend, but his game keeps freezing or is becoming out of sync. How can we fix this?
How to annex Czechs?
Austrian
Is there a certain time frame when I have to do it?
Would standardized production be better than a medium tank designer?
is this a good medium tank division as germany early game?
I think yes but it maybe needs more infantry , i guess not sure
Also wouldnt that be a little costly?
is this any better?
I think yes although it is too costly i think but maybe good
you dont need art mot I think,its just too costly
Exactly
He cant produce many of it
What torpedoes do that light/heave guns don't and the opposite?
might as well use cavarly instead of motorized
just realised you dont really need the maintenance comp
put hospital instead
will do once i research it
I am a newish player. Playing Italy. I am trying to plan my first naval invasion. When I set one up I am told I can only send 6 divisions. I thought the base naval invasion capacity is 10. I checked my transport ships and ( I screen shot) can someone explain this too me. PS, where do I find my naval invasion capacity? All the tutorials say it should say what it is in this window.
I think that changed in new dlc
I might be completely wrong but thats what I assumed since paradox hates when anyone other than ai naval invades
how much should i lower the amount of tanks then?
i mean its good but like ur going to find it hard to equip your divisions early game
guys, do i build civs or military factories at the start of the game as germany?
i have every dlc
/ what year is it
military since you're going to get a lot of civs anyway down the road
1939
how does it only have 200 soft
From 1936 to 1939?
yeah
still not very much
do I build dockyards?
@neat widget do u have a medium howy tank saved?
i can show my medium tank design its probably the problem
yeah
i always just grind airforce if i need to invade UK
do 3 man turret
didnt researhc yet
that uh - production cost armour
You probably should do max armor clicks tbh
and yes use henschel
listen to the red role person
55% reliability tho
did someone ghost ping me
wont that hurt me
this meta is tank destroy
55% is a lot
oh
hey, i deleted the message, i asked: when the war start i do economy of conquest or not?
bro it bad
if you want just go todt
nuh uh
yes it is
ok, i always rush to him when the game starts
why do u think so then
hey
👍
how do i downgrade my hoi4 to 1.17.2
if you invade sov you will know with your self
right click on hoi4 on the steam app
last question: is the new faction sistem good?
final design
even if sov 55% is pretty good
then click properties
No artillery
why
then under the betas category you can select the version @short thicket
someone else told me to put artillery on
add some like anti air
newbie
i cant
beta participation > choose your version
actually
get assault engineers
do howitzer
there's 1.7.1
replace artillery with assault engineers?
replace engineers with assault engineers
or do u mean beyond in the other direction
oh oops
@slow dawn
yeah
since you can't have both in the same division
using a mod i see
because of the aa in mech column
its one.SEVENTEEN.two
i dont think you can downgrade
and i dont produce mechanized yet
Then add one more mech
to that version
Yeah you could
why
question is whether you can get +1 brigade by 1937
yes
they dont let you on steam for some reason @short thicket
just wait until the bugs are fixed ig
no
you already have them
they're directly unlocked in the special project
oh yeah im stupid
The blue thing is armored engineers
i see
which i know some people prefer
okay thanks guys
basically the trade-off is more breakthrough for less terrain bonuses (but you do get more amphibious so they can semi-offset not having marine doctrine)
How do you disguise your army numbers from your enemy
I was playing a multiplayer game and I couldn’t see the number of enemy divisions in each province on the front
There was just a question mark
Why is Italy useless for anchluss bro
Do I need allies?
I tried bro, Italy legit got less than 1% war participation
Italy always so unhelpful bro the Italian AI is legit jerking off instead of helping me
i always annex italy
Annex Italy as Austria???
Bro it’s 1938
I ain’t doing nothing😭😭
nice can someone explain how I actually get some support from a country
Because Italian AI
Is legit jerking off and I hold off the Germans until sudtenland
Also, how do I get the Czechs to accept me annexing them they refused despite high relations and a non aggression pact
yea thats fine
You need to put troops on the border?? That affects it?
I should have high relations and the non aggression pact tho right
Or no?
No non aggression pact, and instead just put troops on the border with high relations?
i dont bother
Alright I’ll try that on my next run
for hungary i just spent a ton of political power
and did troops frontline
same with czech
Hi, Iam not a pro at the game so I can only do basic micro and division templates, since a few updates sea lion is ultra hard to near impossible.
I usually just cheese the Brit’s by 38 as they had no garrison anywhere but now they absolutely swarm me to death.
Does anyone have tips on how to fast capitulate the UK now?
make sure to maintain an army and force deploy @tribal stratus
and put that all on border
Force deploy??
yeah like train
and even if you dont have equipment
Yeah
yes
improve relations too and send the nap later
also wait until war on china happens
cuz u need the war tension
Anyone has tips?
People mention para troopers a lot. But in general they naval invade. Is your problem landing or progressing after landing?
I see okay.
The latter, can’t sustain a breakout while my reinforcements arrive
I know that I have to split em, so I tried News castle and Scotland
Landing navally as Germany is so hard
Near impossible
Yes!
I mean I can land but not breakout
in the UK?
its not hard just split ur forces and try to get positions where UK doesnt have superiority
make sure u have air dominance & resupply
Did you optimize your invasion force? Marines or amtracs, did you chose good terrain?
Cheese strat with the starting army plus hastly trained batches
Basically suiciding hoping I can overwhelm them with enough pressure
Guess Ill have to play the long game
yea this is it ^
And at what time?
Okay
1938
also make sure to build airports near channel as soon as u take france
Couldn't you get decent troops up in two years instead of a cheese army?
And maybe a better naval invasion tech so you can send more at once
That takes so long that any super early advantages are gone
also aim to encircle and once u encircle and they're going to hop onto next port put convoy raiding
so it destroys the troops
For that I’ll have to create a large enough breakout
Okay I had thought 700 days is plenty to get up one army that's decent, but I frankly haven't played Germany yet
As I said Iam not a pro and basically every stereotype of the French high command during WW1
Tried
if u do cheese then just remember to train ur troops in between
if you can
the bonus really matters
I really tried but when I take a port and get a decent breakout they still swarm me with too many divisions
Maybe I need to deactivate some DLC that „fixed“ the British AI
I'd say you need more place to maneuver, so maybe use multiple landing sites?
That’s a good idea, I’ll research improved landing asap and use two landings as a distraction/ to get more room
I like to land at both sides of a high level port. That way I can attack it from two directions and have three tiles
Maybe I can make some pure holding divisions to tie them down in Scotland while invade south
As in left and right of the islands bottle neck and go inwards?
A Scotland distraction is definitely a good idea. Maybe let it go first to drag some troops from the south
That’s the plan, what’s some good holding template?
As in the coast tiles next to the port. Sorry, that wasn't worded too well
I'd say high defense org and hp. Engis for entrenchment come to mind
Okay
Some special forces get a bonus to the time they can fight without supply in their doctrine
So should I make a pure defensive Marine template for the distraction?
Also if possible you could build a land fort. They cost only 500 and give +15% defense iirc. And they stack
If I get enough time
That could work
Kay
how does one remove this national spirit from facist estonia
I have banned democracy
what else
There might be a focus that removes it
Hello, I am not THE most experienced player, but how is it even possible to win the start of game Mongol-Japan border skirmish as Mongolia on historical? You don't really have any way to get out of using any other division template but Calvary and 90 days isn't enough to do more than build one fort, adjust battalion count per division, and get the defense army advisor, which is never enough. Is it just not at all possible for Mongolia?
i started my my first campaign as germany and did the civil war as my first choice and won and finished it by august 1937, is there any guide one how i should make my troop templates and what i should build and not build? i think i read heavy tanks are the meta for germany. please and thanks
and do you have have any tips on what i should prioritize to do before the big wars kick off
try like a 36-width
since I imagine you can only have like 6 divisions in there
I cant seem to beat the allies armies in egypt the us and britian army just push me back what can i do
as turkey
Well... You only have enough infantry equipment for 4 divisions w/ 3 battalions each. So we are looking at like a single 24 width unit being the max possible to equip
It starts 90 days from start of gane
anyone know how to downgrade hoi4 to 1.17.2
90% certain you cant
what about the 10%
i see
where can i find
Google exists
@fleet boltPlease check rule 6
Is refitting carriers from one hanger no longer faster?
He owns the game, he is well within his right to procure a copy through this manner for most countries.
what is rule 6
i just want 1.17.2
damn i just want to play super racist goebbels in kaiserredux
guys i have no step back dlc so i cant use space marines, which template do yall suggest i use
as a major nation for example'
This isn’t the most optimized but it works well
I definitely forgot like 5 things but it’s a great place to start
when im making a tank divison should i add any motrized line artilierty? or should i just keep it in the support?
Alr thx
Keep it in support
alright thanks
Wait u got something like this but for minor nations?
you could very likely just make the same thing but with motorized instead of mech
because its so cheap anyways to produce the tanks
prob no AA either could eliminate having another production line
and ai doesn't really use (good) CAS afaik
Aa thx
@scenic nacelle check our mutuals
won't this get crit by like... everything tho? with 150 breakthrough
thats called an spg
yeah ik
sacrifice breakthrough for soft attack
i started my my first campaign as germany and did the civil war as my first choice and won and finished it by august 1937, is there any guide one how i should make my troop templates and what i should build and not build? i think i read heavy tanks are the meta for germany. please and thanks
and do you have have any tips on what i should prioritize to do before the big wars kick off
i mean its also singleplayer ai so its great
fair enough ig
cool
any know why i cant naval invade? i have the whole navy of the urss
the image tell me that i dont have naval dominium
im against norway, i should have naval superiority
naval invasion support doesnt give supremacy
dominance
only patrol does
why did they change it
dont ask me
i have assigned the whole navy to patrol and still says that i have 0 of 150 required per region, what i am doing wrong?
Is there something I can do to improve this?
yeah it sucks
1st, bump it to 36 width
I suck at making divisions 🙁
thats fair, you need to start somewhere
9 tanks 9 mechanised
motorised is the worst mobile battalion you can use
they have very bad terrain modifiers. you can see a battalion's stats by hovering your mouse over the icon and read the tooltip
the only skills you need in this game are reading comprehension and basic elementary maths
if you cant make mechanised, rush it early game by picking the appropriate bonuses giving research boosts to mech
@glacial steeple yoooo Romania template rate it
in the meantime simply use cavalry as cavalry is always better than motorised
should have refunded when you can
too late now
now back to grinding
I'm already addictited to this game so I can't 🙁
i wanna sleep idk 4.5/10
add support artillery, super heavy artillery or helicopter in the 5th slot
I'm broke 🙁
what year?
okay...
No like I don't have the DLC broke
oooh
um
hoi4 is one of those games where you buy all dlcs or not buy the game at all sooooo
thats not that bad
idk how basegame works
I've noticed
Why do you think I bought gotterdamurung?
Or the expansion pass 1
I wanna see green bubble, but I keep getting red bubble because of my templates
absolute noob here, what does the 41-154 mean?
ts war has not moved a single tile in 2 years 🙏
Enemy has a total of anywhere from 41-154 inf battalions in the entire stack of divs on that tile
Also that means ur divs a 4/0
Which is too small
Can someone show me a meta battleship design?
so it that why im losing when i attack but winning when i defend?
Because infantry are better at defense than attack
thank you
might finally be able to end this war of have a single tile god damn move after 2 years 🙏 🙏 🙏
stayed green for longer thats a good sign
What's a good doctrine for Finland to use to survive the winter war with just infantry, support arty+AA, and engineers?
i legit shown jalo how to play im pretty sure
Jalo is cool!
Hey, guys
In a general hist MP game, does Italy usually build small tank divs to micro or should it simply be inf + specialized inf + air?
If you want to be a defensive-focused Finland (assuming this is just a hist Finland gameplay), Go for:
Main Doctrine: Superior Firepower
Infantry subdoctrine: Great War Infantry (pure defensive) or Large Unit Tactics (if you're planning on attack-defense + breakthroughs and good at micro)
Artillery & Combat Support subdoctrine: Field Engineering (great engineer bonuses), or if you're struggling with Soviet tanks, Anti-Tank Frontline (though, you won't be needing this if you're atleast okay with stuff)
Armor subdoctrine: you won't be building tanks anytime soon, but if you are, then you can go for Streamlined Deployment or Armored Infantry Support. Nothing wrong with the two in SP, of course.
Operations subdoctrine: either Grand Assault (for planning offensive bonuses) or Desperate Defense if you need the additional manpower
Usually I manage to hold onto Finland with the 10w infantry mixed in with specialized 18-24 w infantry for attacking (cus I find the 36w incredibly expensive, manpower and industry wise)
And yes, support arty + AA + engineers is an already alright support company build
Thank you very much good sir.
Just curious, why should I take Great War Infantry over Defensive Postures?
Defensive Postures seems to be better.
Yeah I'm curious too
I usually take defensive posture for more entrenchment
But yeah, there is one problem
It also gives mot/mech more entrenchment if I remember correctly, which I obviously didn't need, all of the infantries that I usually use are foot infantry
Maybe in MP, but not in SP since you should have more defense than they have attack
So I'd say you'd do something like individual excellence, irregulars, or assault infantry
means "don't play a south american nation"
both are the worst options possible
if you wanna play mutiplayer the server is called metamemer and the password is k
bruh
bro
are you perhaps germany?
yeah, why
you took the right path with ecomomy in focus tree right? thats why
read the tooltip
and guess who im playing as
ah vietnam?
yeah
Forgot about Defensive Postures there. My bad.
Great War infantry is good because it stacks 25% defense on top of support company bonuses (20%+ soft attack with support artillery and alright entrenchment bonuses), especially since I use Field Hospital as well in my divs.
But sure, if you want a strong inf, then Defensive Postures is a great choice. Also provides direct soft attack to infantry on top of strong entrenchment and entrenchment speed bonuses.
both of which give you absolutely nothing
use assualt infantry or large unit tactic
the "entrenchment" you are seeing is is like 0.02 per unit
Large Unit is my go-to
Anything else in infantry subdoctrine is just dogwater (if you're not a major and not playing in SP anyways...)
I always go assault inf
except when im ccp or france
those are the only exceptions for me
maybe Ethiopia
hmm I go mission type tactics
I think thats better
then tanks i go streamlined deployment
and for support I go field engineering
uh what does it mean when you dont have enough points to grab a single state nation at all when you just declaired and killed them
do they just go free or something and now your stuck with a truce
white peace should not be an option
that's operational subdoctrine
you always go grand assualt on that
only go the spg doctrine(and make spg)
arti doctrine is also spg
nah im good
I like to start them wars early
so infantry is all I got to work with
Any video recommendations for Navy with the new patch
Playing as Germany and can't Sea Lion or get to Norway anymore
whats the best early infantry template for china?
build dockyards and prayers
Has my main man bittersteal done a video?
not to my knwoledge
any way to cheese the spanish civil war?
Yeah great war infantry gives a lot of defense
but you really only need to build for defense in MP
which path?
is republican just hold pais vasco and let the Carlisle rise whilst keeping the anarchists down
If it's for the achievement of winning as the republicans just cap the anarchists, you don't actually have to win you just have to cap one party
it aint that hard anyways
I know but if you're asking for cheese then you find it to be hard
heck I even won as anarchist in mid 38
mostly due to republicans still holding pais vasco with soviet volunteers that I just couldn't break through
why would game crash when i proclaim new order and win africa 💔🥀
spanish civil war is easy as long as you take the decisions and are able to complete your focus tree
as republicans
or if you start the war early so they dont have time to complete the focus tree as nationalists
basically just spam decisions
So let's say I got a general with half infantry and half tanks. Does it matter for exp farming which units fight?
If I am trying to farm the tanks skills, would I get exp if the tanks are not fighting but are in the army?
Assign tanks to other general. Since you want to have a general with tanks skills that are only used by tanks and general with inf to have use of inf bonus skills
good morning
But yeah depending on which division would fight either inf or tanks you would get xp to those traits that affect them
Good evening
just seperate?
inf if made for holding goes on bad generals tank gens need to be grinded and cared for
I have a fleet patrolling here but its not gaining any dominance whatsoever
same with this other fleet, in fact I had naval dominance here but now its gone?????
not a single enemy ship in either
can you paradrop light tank destroyers? no matter what i did i couldnt paradrop light armor with medium cannons, but irl there were applications of light tank destroyers getting paradropped such as ASU-57, ASU-85 and alecto, is it impossible in the game to paradrop anything but designated "light tanks"
i want to play historical USSR but i cant make historically accurate paratrooper divisions because of this issue, how can i paradrop light tanks with fixed superstructure?
:(
i hope its not correct and i hope theres a way to paradrop light tank destroyers
ai 💔
yeah but noone from here answered my question :(
just use high velo 1
have some patience
but it requires me to use a turret and asu57 didnt have a turret
those are all post ww2 no?
alecto isnt post war but asu57 and asu85 are
tho im already at 1947rn in my playthrough
yeah you cant make the asu-57
thats why i need asu57
:(
sad
:(
and are there any hoi4 mods which make me able to paradrop light armor with fixed superstructure?
like are there any mods which fix the problem im facing right now?
idk
go look?
why is my chance at defeating the air raid so abysmal
Anyone can tell me a good Mechanized template?
its always high chance to succeed
If i declare war on a country under garante by an USA puppet, will only the puppet will be on war with me or also USA ?
Both
The puppet can invite USA to war
and USA already guarantees them
so they will ALWAYS join the war
this is an ok one
How do you unlock line battalions?
damn... and as USA is in the Allies, i suppose i will also face them all ?
get the tech
What tech?
Yeah
most likely
mech 1
Sad... tyvm, i'll wait for this war then ^^
I took Japanese Imerial defense plan focus and didn't get its buffs from attacking China why?
What do I need to research to unlock this?
what does it mean if I as austria tried to get yugoslavian land but the decision failed they didnt accept the popup said i got a claim but I cant declare war
Artillery
Claim isnt a wargoal but it makes a wargoal easier to generate
And if youre already at war, itll also make the claimed stuff cheaper in peacedeals
shouldn't it insta give me a war goal if they disagreed?
Are you perhaps in a faction with them or something?
no
The game might have sanity checks to not give odd wargoals
OOH
You want them to join you?
Actually you can do it without having a wargoal with them and it's easy to do
Increase relationship + Spy (diplomatic pressure already upgraded) + save scum
or AT
And yes it's just some state
Not all of Yugoslav
Since you asked for some, not all Yugoslav
Anyway that's a bug, yes
It should be instant wargoal
That looks like high velocity gun though?
The mantlet for the artillery gun is bigger
Never seen this in my life for Germany
Its road to 56 I think
Armored spearhead or armored cavalry?
cav is pretty nice
Help, this claims that I'm wrong but I have no idea why
I looked at the other folders and country should be a legitimate tab, why is it not working?
What does this even mean?
I went to afghanistan folder and they use country = {} why is this breaking???
False positive
So is it going to fix itself as I follow the tutorial?
Maybe, you should ignore that regardless
Does this mean anything?
i just got the gameeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
is this a good late game division for singleplayer?
yeah i bet becouse i never reached 400 break and soft 1000
ok thanks
why do people always use motorized
its SO bad
no TD, it's useless
its like 80% of the cost of mech 1 and has NO hardness
just get mech or stay with cav
motorized recon as well, use light tank recon to use the doctrine buff to spg
swap the support arty for support AA
motorized recon sucks too just use light tank or ranger recon
ok thank you i will try make these changes in my next game
Heyho, new player here
