ask-for-help-here

[glacial steeple]

yes youre going the wrong way around

follow the supply lines

[dark ginkgo]

(onlyLá ressistanec DLC)

[dark ginkgo]

wdym?

[glacial steeple]

uruguay, argentine, chile, bolivia, peru, ecuador, colombia and then venezuela

[glacial steeple]

amazon has no supply

[shy sail]

alright yall

i got 20 hours in the game

[glacial steeple]

go the long way around to have less issues

[shy sail]

i bought the game last year and still suck

[dark ginkgo]

they're democratic, will they join the allies when getting attacked?

[shy sail]

what should i do with my army experience stars? what should i prioritize first

[glacial steeple]

maybe if world tension is high

do you have ToA? south america dlc

[dark ginkgo]

it's on 100 and it's 1944

[dark ginkgo]

nope

i only have the spy DLC

[glacial steeple]

well thats really late to attack anyway

[gilded herald]

You have two options,

Build up supply hubs and train lines to get supply and slowly push through the Amazon with jungle troops,mountaineers. Very expensive and costly to build all the infrastructure.

Go along the coasts the long way around.

[dark ginkgo]

yea, i feel it's taking a kinda long time to utilize Brazil

usually wanted the nuke on argentina achievement for fun

[glacial steeple]

its because you want to have a prepared army

[dark ginkgo]

yee

[glacial steeple]

your economy is just small but so are your opponents

dont just look at your own strenght, look at relative strenght

if your relative strenght in deployed weapons / troop quality (or if theres a lack of troops to cover all tiles quantity) is better, you can win wars

by waiting you also allow your enemies to build up

while, if you attacked earlier, you would have their economies annexed to help yours snowball more

[dark ginkgo]

so i should play brazil fast?

I mean, my first target is always uruguay and the yhave like 5 troops

but in the later stages it's taking a cupple of days to push into the capital

[cold bloom]

Templates, doctrine, then maybe a few designs, then back to doctrine and polishing your templates where necessary

[glacial steeple]

if you are capable of taking a nation the rule of thumb is that you should since its a war game

[glacial steeple]

doctrine first so you grind mastery no?

[shy sail]

what would be a good starting template? i m playing germany.

and what divisions shouldi focus most on

[cold bloom]

How do we have veni in common

[shy sail]

OMG

[cold bloom]

How do you grind it? I find myself not getting it easily

[shy sail]

the world is small

now answer

[cold bloom]

I still do 10/0+eng+flame tank+art+aa for cheap infantry, dont know if 9/0 would be better

[shy sail]

i found a basic inf template for offense

anyway

um

i trained about 40 cavalry divisions because i saw a guy.. do it

[glacial steeple]

exercise or fight

[cold bloom]

Do you know if 9/0 or 10/0 is better currently for cheap inf?

[restive galleon]

do this divisions with TD and tanks etc could be just some 10 divisions as Elite divisions

becouse they too expensive

scam

[dusty sandal]

<@&846894118219022336>
(it's in all channels)

[coarse finch]

Got it thx

[true tapir]

huh

i hate when yunnan calls in german reich to fight me (china) while iran (also in axis) wants to help me fight soviets

[stark bough]

Between operational integrity and strategic destruction, which would be the best air doctrine?

[mystic otter]

strategic destruction the one for the bombers correct?

[stark bough]

Yeah

[mystic otter]

your gonna build strat bombers or just cas?

and which nation your palaying?

playing*

[stark bough]

I intend to focus on fighter jets (solely because of air superiority) and also stratobombers (because I find massive bombing awesome and efficient).

[stark bough]

Brazil

[mystic otter]

yh but jets are end game

[stark bough]

Fighter* translator sucks

[mystic otter]

honstly taking strat is bad as brazil you dont have the industry to build them
only usa mostly go strat and meduim fighters

rest go light airframe and cas

[stark bough]

I play casually, so I'm getting a lot of military industry through cheats (not too much industry so as not to stray from realism).

[mystic otter]

well you can try tbh

[stark bough]

So the bomber doctrine?

[mystic otter]

yh strategic destruction if you gonna build strategic bombers

[stark bough]

Ok thanks

[mystic otter]

np

[true tapir]

is this a good heavy tank template?

[dark ginkgo]

what nation in you opinion is the best for learning the game?

[true tapir]

usa prolly

or maybe uk

[dark ginkgo]

I tried usa one time

felt a bit boring couse you don't really do much till 41

[wintry matrix]

Add support anti air maybe some kind of recon for better movement.
Or engineers.

[mystic otter]

uh the standard template is 2 colum of tank 2 colum of mecha for 36 width

[opaque garden]

is 75 width towed anti air a good division for breakthrough?

[mystic otter]

dunno never tried that

[tough oak]

Uh guys

why does my game randomly invite countries to

my faction

I don't invite them

[true tapir]

focus?

[junior marlin]

guys what is medium SP artillery btw how do i unlock it

[hexed verge]

what should i do atp🥀

why are they actually defending

and HOW DO I CAP THEM BEFORE THE US JOINS

[round dragon]

You can only cas bomb them to death

[hollow linden]

Do u have no step back?

[true tapir]

you see your first mistake is playing turkey

[tribal stratus]

Is it better to go with allies for anchluss support or Italy

Italy literally did nothing

It was very sad

[shy sail]

uhhhhh

uhhhhh

uhhhhh

uhhhh

[tribal stratus]

I was holding off until demand sudentlabd focus popped up I knew I was cooked

[shy sail]

uhhhh

[tribal stratus]

Puppet

[shy sail]

i might be the worst leader of all time

[shy sail]

i trust you

[tribal stratus]

Puppet is easier normally idk

For Poland invasion

[junior marlin]

nope

[hollow linden]

Then it's simply a research, in the top right of every tank you can research

[tribal stratus]

anyone know as Austria how do I get the allied support?

[true tapir]

you dont

[tribal stratus]

I had high relations with them

[hollow linden]

Either puppet or annex all, don't really matter

[tribal stratus]

Italy does nothing though

[true tapir]

"grass is green"

[hollow linden]

Just don't bother

[tribal stratus]

Like legit nothing despite getting a guarantee they refused to do anything they had 34 casualties

[junior marlin]

these things?

which one tho

[hollow linden]

Kill ger by yourself

[hollow linden]

Yes

[tribal stratus]

So the allies wont come to my aid?

[hollow linden]

The middle one

[hollow linden]

Nah

[junior marlin]

aaaaaaaa

[tribal stratus]

No possibility of that

[junior marlin]

yoo

i NEVER in my life interacted

with these buttons

thank u

[hollow linden]

Just declare war on Germany and don't join allies

[junior marlin]

🥹

[hollow linden]

They're useless anyhow

[tribal stratus]

Fuh bro it’s hard, last time I was holding off fine until the demand sudentlabf focus

Then a new front opened and I lost

I should annex the Czechs right?

They refused last time I got Hungary though

I should wait for world tension get food relations and then place troops on their border, normally that makes them fold right?

[hardy kayak]

which one should i go for?

[junior marlin]

also guys help so

im playing as korea in RF

and im trying to make the navy so that maybe in few years i can invade japan

i have man the guns dlc

idk what type of ships to build tho and whatnot

[round dragon]

in a few years

Good luck

[spiral crag]

why am i lossing so much man power

this is 2 day later

[restive galleon]

just how many divisions will u create?

[spiral crag]

i just finished USSR and had like 6.10mil manpower but it droped 1mil

[true tapir]

10 maybe

if i have the time

i just need infantry killer

[restive galleon]

im having problems with elite divisions letrly wanna creatw army full of these expensive divisions

i dont have the mindset yet

[restive galleon]

what about Mid Tanks with Full mech and arty or TD for speed and breakthrough

heavy tanks are expensive and takes time

[true tapir]

yeah

this mot good?

[restive galleon]

mb u get better soft attack with less hardness

[true tapir]

soviets frontline is thin so i can just rush and encircle

[restive galleon]

i never tried tbh

[junior marlin]

guys any good infantry templates for 1937-1938 as a minor nation?

[restive galleon]

i rushed it with 200 break through motorized i swaer

and i struglled like shit

[hollow linden]

Nah

Motorised is pretty ass in general

and dont use artillery

its very bad

[true tapir]

i just need speed

[restive galleon]

becouse motorized is like nice break but hardness is low

speed but they vanished

[junior marlin]

what does one replace it with

[restive galleon]

i still use it becouse of Ford focus in germany

it spams opel

[true tapir]

and if you dont play germany?

[junior marlin]

anyways guys yall got any infantry killer templates for 1938-1939?

[restive galleon]

i played germ today till 1946
i switched to sov and try the inf spam

only mass inf

[hollow linden]

Just use inf

cheaper and performs about the same

[junior marlin]

alralr

[sour mountain]

anyone wanna help me do no one dies for thier countryA?

[tribal stratus]

Will the allies every back up Austria

[stuck garnet]

If you need the soft attack that bad support arty and gun research will do tbh

Better yet, produce howietzer spgs since theyre good now

[hollow linden]

Ay say that to them not me, but you are absolutely correct sir

[hollow linden]

Light spg literally cheaper and better than arty lol

[stuck garnet]

You might as well space marines if youre sp

With armor

[hollow linden]

Nah

Everyone and their mother has piercing now

Space marines are dead

[true tapir]

china my beloved

[wintry matrix]

If you commit to it, get logistic companies and support anit-air too.
Because you eat up much fuel and the AA gives some nice piercing for early weak tanks.

[kind pewter]

seriously why cant i get achievements???

[tough oak]

Prob a glitch

or mods did something

[kind pewter]

nice

cant even finish a game without some bs glitches

[carmine drift]

is this good i always do this

[inner sparrow]

no

[clear gull]

Hi can anyone here help me with modding?

[inner sparrow]

straight up truke

[mystic otter]

No
With the first sub doc you get a infantry one
You do a full 32 width pure infantry

[glacial steeple]

#modding

theres less people so it might take a bit

[clear gull]

I got desperate

there are so many mistakes with this extension

[glacial steeple]

you can ask @cold bloom

[inner sparrow]

Don’t listen to casey

[glacial steeple]

or shinzou....

[inner sparrow]

he sold me fent

[inner sparrow]

the saviour of hoi4

msb 🥰

[mystic otter]

Can someone tell me why i am not getting the achievement for dropping a nuke? Even tho i did the raid in ironman

Like japan is a wasteland at this point

[inner sparrow]

either bc u are using a mod while playing or not high enough difficulty

[mystic otter]

The only mod i am using is the anime one and historically sound
The game did let me use ironman mode so nothing should be wrong tho?

[inner sparrow]

what difficulty is it?

[mystic otter]

Regular

[inner sparrow]

then idk

[mystic otter]

:v

[cold bloom]

You should be able to click the achievement button in top right if the game supports achievements

[frail raven]

why are my boats not leaving the ports

[mystic otter]

Check if there repairing

[mystic otter]

Will make sure to check that thx

[frail raven]

they are not repairing

[mystic otter]

What level is the port there in?

[frail raven]

uh im not sure

[mystic otter]

That level 8 more than enough to supply them

Did you choose a mission?
People honestly forgot to do this sometime lol

[odd elk]

im democratic france ive won against germany

what now

[fathom thistle]

release african countries to be a really good france 😇

[tough oak]

conquer commintern

[marble saddle]

how is naval range calculated now

[odd elk]

what kind of a communist bastard do you take me for

[marble saddle]

since it doesn't seem to be from where the navy is phisically stationed

ah

[fathom thistle]

bodycam off since fall of USSR

[marble saddle]

I just noticed you can change where a navy is operating from

I understand now

[odd elk]

I just remembered about japan

[neat widget]

i mean at that rate you should replace all your infantry and motorized with mechanized

and probably remove some units

[neat widget]

also yeah that

also assault engineers exist, and 8 kmh isn't too fast for flame tanks

[hardy kayak]

how do i give divions to my puppet?

[narrow grail]

How am I supposed to win border conflicts?

[timid sable]

Every state is broken for me...

What do I do?

All the names are gone

[bleak plinth]

how do i start the african civil wars?

like succesfully

cause i remember last time it didnt work for me

[narrow grail]

90% resistance, iirc there is one decision which gives 30% instantly so proc it when resistance is already 60

[bleak plinth]

thanks

[glacial steeple]

90% on every state

its very annoying

try using spy missions too if you have spare guns

its +10% or +20% each

[bleak plinth]

thats gonna take awhile

ehhh

alr i need to do the lion king achievement anyways

[fathom thistle]

Is there any change to spacemarine template armor number wise? Like what should I aim for now armor value wise for it to be effective?

[neat widget]

Super annoying, but it does allow you to unite the horn of africa without going to war with the allies

I think you should do at least 2 of these before clicking on the decisions

[bleak plinth]

brooooo whys it so hard to get a country to 90% resistance

[frail parcel]

as france third empire do i naval invade or paradrop uk? cause i can seem to get my naval dominance high enough

[neat widget]

I mean are you better in the air or at sea

[frail parcel]

ngl i dont really do navy that much and havent done the paradrop thingy yet

[fathom thistle]

both if you can afford it, naval to draw their troops to coast so u can paradrop in london and other cities

[frail parcel]

how do i effectively raise my naval dominance though

[fathom thistle]

or do the opposite

[neat widget]

Yeah

[neat widget]

Probably by killing enemy ships since the royal navy is just too big

for that you can use naval bombers

and also light cruisers

[frail parcel]

i did this

[narrow grail]

I tried naval invasion today and was instantly beaten in Le Mans

[neat widget]

You're naval invading France from somewhere?

[narrow grail]

I tried naval invasion into UK as Third French Empire

[fathom thistle]

split you taskforce so they can destroy different fleets, just make sure you have at least like 20 light cruisters in each taskforce

having a spotting ship wouldnt hurt either

[sinful vessel]

is there a way to sort provinces by ressources ?

[toxic ridge]

How did I have "No Compromise No Surrender"? I'm not bought for this DLC

[fathom thistle]

Like do you wish to see each resource in each region?

[sinful vessel]

yes. And be able to quicly choose some region producing some ressources.

[fathom thistle]

Well you can see resources when you click in that menu where you trade resources with other countries

[toxic ridge]

.

[fathom thistle]

Anyone here who is space marine tryhard?

[glacial steeple]

?

[fathom thistle]

Any changes to what armor value should division have for it to not be penetrated most of the time?

I usually aimed for 30. Not sure if it's enough now

[glacial steeple]

either just add armor clicks or just ignore that youre getting pierced and take advantage of the other stats such as break and piercing

[stiff moth]

Was Ferdinand Schoner removed from Germany's generals?

[glacial steeple]

focus locked

[inner sparrow]

not enough

it doesn’t matter for sp too much tho

[fathom thistle]

What's enough then

[inner sparrow]

but in theory u will always gonna be pierced eventually tho unless you do improved (ger mio) or advanced heavy meme

[fathom thistle]

Ik. Just want to minmax casualty ratio

[inner sparrow]

with new at doctrine even this will be pierced but not by ai

[inner sparrow]

nothing, go for the highest u can

ai will eventually pierce u aswell

they just need some time, I can’t tell you when it will be exactly

[fathom thistle]

Rip.

[inner sparrow]

just go for the highest u can and ur fine

[versed rose]

minmax casualty ratio just do inf bricks with individual excellence then

hospital trickleback + hp buff

[fathom thistle]

Already doing that.

I need MORE

Especially after the update.

[frail parcel]

thanks for the tip i think sending 20 subs did the job though

[glacial steeple]

nuclear missiles

[fathom thistle]

Oh nice

[glacial steeple]

cas

[fathom thistle]

Too late

I hate planes

I'm glad when I can produce enough guns and AA after the update

[sinful vessel]

I am in 45, the Axe has been defeated, could i bet on a war between Komintern and Allies ?

(playing historical if it changes smthing)

[fading fern]

Guys, I have problems judging if I should go communist or fascist British Raj. As far as I can see both offer enough cores for World domination manpower.

But how is the difference regarding the economic potential?

Can anybody tell me major advantages/disadvantages for the routes?

[opaque garden]

how do I get this to the left

I wanna get the pope

but I have done all focuses

and all decisions

[stiff moth]

ah I see

ty

[half glade]

how do i deal with navy and supplys?

im always low on supplys too

and i need convoys for trade

[upper dew]

is there a way to decrease your own opinion of another state. I seem to need worse than -25 opinion to sieze jutland but can't see how to get it down to that point

[stark bough]

Guys, I'm not winning over the industry I'm building in my puppets. What should I do?

[sinful vessel]

Will the resistance lower over time if i'm not in war ?

[errant pecan]

dont take lend leases from them, dont let them participate in wars

[fathom thistle]

yes, tho it can lower even in war

just put martial law

[sinful vessel]

I need the ressources 😕

[fathom thistle]

welp

[sinful vessel]

and the manpower. But it's ok now. Just wanted to be sure it will be better over time ^^

[glacial steeple]

not necessarily

higher compliance means less resistance target, unfulfilled garrisons, low stability, spy missions and national spirits van mean resistance can just go up

[sinful vessel]

Stability is really an issue in this game, playing Portugal as Iberian Comunist. I'm in 45 now, i have taken most of the axe, but Komintern and Allie seem too big for me. And as there is no more war, it takes forever to justify, so i'm a bit stuck. Do you think Russia and Allies will make war ?

[neat widget]

Yeah this is why local police force is so good, it has good compliance growth for lower resistance than civilian oversight

[hollow topaz]

why can my fleet not operate off my coast?

[sinful vessel]

Change your port

Yours is Leningrad

[hollow topaz]

ok

[restive galleon]

why japan dont declare war on usa in 1941 and 1942 in new dlc??

[sinful vessel]

Is this usefull ?

[neat widget]

as long as you have enough missiles then you can basically saturate strike your enemies into oblivion

[fading fern]

How many mils does one need to produce enough rockets for constant..fun

[tawdry zodiac]

at what level will my troops be abble to just roll over another country's army at a pace that is about 1 week

[restive galleon]

50 - 100 for V1 for me

[neat widget]

No clue, haven't done so before

[glacial steeple]

like 150 on rockets gives like 10 a day

maybe 20

[upper dew]

Is there a way to essential kick out a subject and go to war with them? I need a piece of german protectorate of denmark as it's a core

[glacial steeple]

unless you mean missiles

then you only need like 70-80 prob

[fading fern]

Thx

[glacial steeple]

you have/had decisions to annex them

[upper dew]

I have the decision to annex the piece I need, but my opinion of them is too high

hence my earlier question about how to lower my opinion of them

[fading fern]

Does gifting stuff maybe lower opinion?

[upper dew]

it does not

[glacial steeple]

thats why you do it ASAP

now its like cooked

[upper dew]

lesson learnt for next time, console it is

[half glade]

how do i deal with low supplies?

[oak atlas]

how do you deal with low manpower?

[half glade]

change your conscription laws

[oak atlas]

Thank you, didn't know those existed...

[half glade]

yeah theyre useful

[oak atlas]

I'm kind of just dying as Italy in my first game 💀

[inner sparrow]

motorize your supply, build up supply, use logi in your divisions

[half glade]

how do i do those things though

and what nation is good for learning?

i wanna go through and just get some mechanics down

[inner sparrow]

you can motorize your army’s supply when you click on your general or field marshal, on the top left there is a horse icon, click it twice till 3 trucks appear and its motorized (you need to produce trucks ofc)

building up supply u can do by building railways or making them higher (lvl 1 to lvl 5) or build supply hubs through construction tab

and logi is a support company that u can research in the support company tab under research

[half glade]

hold on

let me get into a game

what nation

[inner sparrow]

germany is good for beginners

[half glade]

okay so

how do i assess the supplies situation

[oak atlas]

How do I deal with resistance if I've already declared martial law?

[sinful vessel]

spy could help

[half glade]

how do i check if my troops will be well supplied

this is my setup

[oak atlas]

What does that mean?

[inner sparrow]

there will be an icon above your division when it has low supply

[half glade]

and how do i deal with that?

like in game

[inner sparrow]

I wrote that above

[inner sparrow]

.

[half glade]

so i should always have them motorized?

[inner sparrow]

yes

but u need to produce trains and trucks for it

[half glade]

and how should i build supply hubs

like where abouts

[inner sparrow]

u shouldn’t, unless you are at a spot where theres no supply and your division are out of range of other supply hubs

[half glade]

okay

[inner sparrow]

which really only happens at barb vs soviet

[half glade]

im upgrading my railroads

[inner sparrow]

no need

especially in the early game

[half glade]

oh

but incase i run out of supplies?

[inner sparrow]

then u need to upgrade the railways leading to that front and before the front

[half glade]

okay

[inner sparrow]

but its like not that important for you

[half glade]

whats the best way to not run out

[inner sparrow]

u can minimise most supply problems just with motorizing your amry and using logi as support company

[half glade]

im gonna try get logi

[austere roost]

you're in western europe. As long as you have motorized logistics for your field marshals, you shouldn't have logistics problems

except for the french-italian border on the french side

[half glade]

they should go beneath that artillery?

[inner sparrow]

yes

[half glade]

idk how to use field marshals

i just have generals

for each army

[bleak plinth]

guysss

how do i core the horn of africa

as ethiopia

communist

[half glade]

is this good?

then i press the horse icon on the field marshal?

[austere roost]

you know how to use field marshals

you have one in your screenshot

[half glade]

are they the same as generals

[austere roost]

https://hoi4.paradoxwikis.com/Commander#Field_marshal

[half glade]

now he has 2 trucks

thats good for supplys right?

[austere roost]

use the 3 truck version

[half glade]

okay

and now i should be good for supplies

okay

i now gotta figure out how to use air force

[austere roost]

you'll learn more about how to get supply working when you invade ussr, and about how supply across seas work when you sealion

[half glade]

im scared of the navy lol

idk how to use convoys yet either

for trade

[bleak plinth]

guys how do i core the horn of africa as COMMUNIST ethiopia does anyone know?

[bleak plinth]

@left glacier @silver crystal @neat widget help please

[sharp abyss]

When you build anti air guns in a state (on the build menu not in production menu) do you need to supply it with any logistics or is it just static?

[dusty sandal]

it's a static, passive, stat added to air combat situations (logistrike/port strike/strategic bombing/recon missions only. Static AA doesn't affect CAS missions, figther planes, naval missions)

[bleak plinth]

does no one know how

im crying

[neat widget]

I think you can core all of Africa with that path tbh

Just takes patience and a lot of political power

[dusty sandal]

most likely the answer you're looking for is waiting in your decision tab or one focus description

[neat widget]

I mean if the decision just doesn't pop up that's a problem

[half glade]

why cant i select a commander

[neat widget]

none of them are field marshals

Promote someone

[dusty sandal]

you need a field marshal to put one in the field marshal spot

[half glade]

i tried promoting one

but i still couldnt choose one

[dusty sandal]

you'll get some promoted through a focus after rhineland, otherwise you can promote one manually

[half glade]

nevermind it worked now

[dusty sandal]

yes you can, you just have to scoll down to see newly promoted guys

or close and reopen the tab so they get bumped up

[neat widget]

I'm also a bit busy at the moment tbh

[half glade]

why are none of my trucks going towards this

im making 10 per day

[spice pine]

this always happens to me

[neat widget]

are you using trucks on supply hubs

[half glade]

maybe idk

how do i check

[spice pine]

anyone wanna play mp?

[half glade]

how do i check

[neat widget]

Somewhere on the top row it shows you how much of your logistics is fulfilled

Hover over that and it will show you how many trucks you're using

[glacial steeple]

you probably just dont have that many

[half glade]

i just had to let the game run

my supply things filled up

trucks started going towards production of troops

[wintry arch]

Somebody give me advice on this template:

[spice pine]

looks good

[wintry arch]

Anything I need to change?

Other than switching to mediums of course

[spice pine]

tbh, i just use that template without the extra mot

[wintry arch]

I prefer adding a few extra tanks

[austere roost]

flame tanks, and if you have fuel issues get a logistics company

also tbh you can try just using spgs with 1 or 2 tds to provide breakthrough and piercing

[wintry arch]

Is that a special project or something I can research?

Haven't expereinced with special projects in gotteradmurung

[austere roost]

it's a tech in support companies

[wintry arch]

k

Also is it still generally recomended to send in troops to support spain in the civil war?

You know to grind and all that?

[austere roost]

yes it's always good

to train generals

[wintry arch]

k

[spice pine]

yes nationalist spain

[austere roost]

rush out 91 1-cavs so you can send 7 divisions

[wintry arch]

I am still learning how templates work so any help will be a huge thanks

[austere roost]

if you help republican spain you can get -15% consumer goods for a year

[spice pine]

if anyone can help, im really struggling with war in ts game like my economy and stuff is usually good but my divisons and air struggle horribly

idk why i can never get air superiority

[wintry arch]

Have you thought of putting in different planes and bombers to bomb there airfields?

[austere roost]

actually since you're ger and ussr is sov and who gets the gold is in alphabetical order you will get -15% consumer goods as germany if you help republican spain

[spice pine]

wym different planes

[wintry arch]

Like fighters, etc

[spice pine]

i just send in my whole air force

to get air superiority

and i always fail

so its composed of fighters, bombers, and cas

[wintry arch]

I can't help with that, I don't usually know why I am loosing lol, sorry I am also sorta new to the game

[spice pine]

np

[austere roost]

what's your air design

[spice pine]

i got no dlcs

so i cant design

[austere roost]

then you just need to put more fighters while keeping detection high

[spice pine]

oh

ok

[austere roost]

the doctrine that helps most with air superiority is operational integrity

if you can get green air then take battlefield support

[sharp abyss]

I clicked activate plan and they just stood there. I had front line and offensive line drawn. ???

[spice pine]

okay

[austere roost]

are your armies assigned to the plan?

[spice pine]

i think this is why i have huge issues with winning wars, i never got air superiority

[wintry arch]

I forgot doctirne rework was for everyone

[austere roost]

also if ai thinks you can't win and your not aggressively pursuing the plan then ai won't get your troops to attack

[spice pine]

farthest i have ever gotten

i do barbarossa and get crushed everytime

[sleek karma]

GUYS AM I COOKED?? SOMEONE HELP ME

[wintry arch]

Send that to bittersteel

Right now

[sleek karma]

what is bittersteel

[wintry arch]

A youtuber

who does saves

[sleek karma]

and how should i send it to him

[wintry arch]

First off stop executing the plans and put a frontline with your remaning troops against switzerland

Focus more on switzerland

[sleek karma]

but what if france pushes me then

[wintry arch]

Leave a few behind then

[sleek karma]

ok ok

i try

[wintry arch]

Just put in infantry there and focus entirely on switzerland

[sleek karma]

i will be right back

[sharp abyss]

They were signed to the plan because it was the Army generals plan. I had 70% favorite to win

But they stood there. I manually attacked and it went fine but was weird

[neat widget]

eh

Assault engineers
Medium flame tanks
Ranger Recon / Light Tank Recon
Hospitals
Logistics / AA

And then for the mainline units use 10 mechanized and 8 tanks

Also what is going on with the tanks, you're only dealing 202 soft attack and only have 9.8 armor

[wintry arch]

<@&846894118219022336>

[neat widget]

This isn't effective

[neat widget]

Thanks

[wintry arch]

Sounds like I need to start researching then

[sleek karma]

yea...

[wintry arch]

If that's not proof that I don't know how to help people then I don't know what is XD sorry, I think it is safe to say that you lost that game

[sleek karma]

i hate this game

[glacial steeple]

seems like youre losing, do you require assiatance?

[sleek karma]

idk bro but im pretty new at the game

what is assiatance

[glacial steeple]

like customer support

[inner sparrow]

mental support aswell

casey can help you with that too

genuinely wtf is even going on in that picture

what in the non-hist bs is that

[stuck garnet]

how did you lose to switzerland 😭

is it like

did you not expect them?

[neat widget]

I wonder if you can hold at the Vistula and turtle around East Prussia

[neat widget]

Yeah probably

[neat widget]

And also

[sleek karma]

im cooked

[neat widget]

Okay I change my mind withdraw everything to the Alps and Carpathians

[stuck garnet]

i have no idea how you haven't capitulated yet

[neat widget]

Vienna

[unique ether]

can anyone who is smart in navy help me please 🥹
I'm trying to clean up the remaining islands in Indonesia, but my navy for some reason cannot access those red regions
before the navy rework(my wording may be a little clanky, cause I barely get navy as is) this whole ordeal depended on navy range, which you could increase by having controlled/friendly dockyards nearby, plus it depended on the range of your ships, but now, even though I supposedly have both, I still can't access them

[neat widget]

That's like 10% of the Reich's VPs

[stuck garnet]

they took berlin too chat

[neat widget]

You're based in Yokohama move your ships to Jakarta or somewhere

[stuck garnet]

okay please focus on taking your core territories back to reclaim your industry

[wintry arch]

His troops are encircled can't you see that

[unique ether]

I was starting to realize that it may be connected to this new navy HQ thingy

[stuck garnet]

oh

damn

can you pump out more?

[unique ether]

how do I move the base of operations?

if that's the correct term

[wintry arch]

idk this isn't me

Also what do you all usually do? I'

oops

Hit enter

[neat widget]

Yeah pretty much

It's dumb

[unique ether]

the closest HQ I got is Singapore

[wintry arch]

What do you usually pick?

[neat widget]

Siege artillery

[unique ether]

OHHHH

[neat widget]

No, I'm not kidding here

[unique ether]

I got it

@neat widget thank you so much for enlightening me

[neat widget]

The buffs are actually quite useful

No problem

[stuck garnet]

show the rest

[neat widget]

Yeah some of the others can work

[stuck garnet]

mobile recon and assault

[wintry arch]

I chose mobile infantry for my infantry doctrine

[neat widget]

Mobile recon and assault isn't bad if you do have tanks

If you do I mean

[inner sparrow]

mobile recon is good for break and tanks or special forces

[neat widget]

But in general I would just leave this alone until I get siege artillery

[inner sparrow]

siege arty is also great

at front is good for mp

[wintry arch]

I'll play with mobile recon and see if I like it

[inner sparrow]

not needed in sp

[inner sparrow]

read through it if u play with it

and use the stuff it gives buffs for

[wintry arch]

I do plan on using most of it as I am germany

[inner sparrow]

ur good then

[glacial steeple]

theres a lot going on but its digestable

not researching not spending pp not building (enough) factories never doing barb and only ever making what look to be mostly infantry units with some (presumably unchanged) paratrooper units

out of equipment which is shown by ai wanting to send lend lease

[subtle thorn]

can someone give me the meta picks for inner circle like i go todt for industry beging then chose goring and then the others idk?

[glacial steeple]

not all units assigned to armies

not doing focuses either

god forbid doing doctrines those have never been clicked

[subtle thorn]

can you help me out Casey

[glacial steeple]

pawsibly

[inner sparrow]

todt first after hess and 3rd goebbles

change todt to goering with decision

[subtle thorn]

am i getting him just to prevent his crash?

or

[glacial steeple]

speer is more output

germany is output starved compared to cap so its marginally more production

[inner sparrow]

both is fine

[subtle thorn]

yh but im doing civs at the 2 dams for early

[glacial steeple]

civs?

[subtle thorn]

todt gives 10% civ construction

[inner sparrow]

speer is only better if germany isn’t noob tbh

[glacial steeple]

irrelevant

[inner sparrow]

doesn’t matter

[subtle thorn]

yea i saw some youtuber speedruning germany and saw him pick that

and build at 2 dams

[glacial steeple]

yeah he gives mil spawn ins

[inner sparrow]

ur getting hess bc hes good

[glacial steeple]

hess is like the single most goated pick he just doesnt give free mils

[inner sparrow]

most yt players are ass

civs are fine

but its like whatever

[glacial steeple]

dont be racist smh smh

[inner sparrow]

if u go early war

build mils

u want early war

so build mils day1

[subtle thorn]

So like this i go todt then goring then go hess then goebels?

[inner sparrow]

u don’t go goering

[glacial steeple]

hess asap you just get goring from event

[inner sparrow]

go speer if ur good

and dont go speer with focus

change with the decision

there will be a decision that will let you swap off todt

without wasting focus

[glacial steeple]

i like going hess first 🥀

[inner sparrow]

youre bad at the game anyways

so its fine

[glacial steeple]

loses some MIC for some research speed.....

[subtle thorn]

so i have hess and todt focus for now

whats my third pick

[inner sparrow]

goebbles

[subtle thorn]

i got alot resistance

even with cavlary 1 and mp and secret police

[inner sparrow]

doesn’t matter

just go civ oversight on everything till 39 and then harsh quota it

make collabs on france, poland

if u can make belg, neth and norway aswell

and ur good

[subtle thorn]

one last thing

whats the priority for reasrching air

[glacial steeple]

airframe

jagdwaffe gives you engine

[subtle thorn]

like small medium or large

[inner sparrow]

small

[glacial steeple]

just need to get small 40 with hmg and survivability

[subtle thorn]

i always tought it was medium

[inner sparrow]

ur not the usa

u don’t have bonuses to get advanced heavy fighter

[subtle thorn]

i prio always air superiority over ground support idk

[inner sparrow]

air sup is good so u can get ground support

only reason why u want air superiority is so ur cas can fly

cas wins u the game

[subtle thorn]

im demanding trades before any war or anschlus with dutch

[inner sparrow]

demanding trades with the dutch is useless

ignore it

[glacial steeple]

also early warring them is too

[subtle thorn]

rly but when i did that i got no rubber

[glacial steeple]

make refineries

[inner sparrow]

^

[glacial steeple]

indonesian rubber can get raided anyway

[inner sparrow]

u have great bonuses to refineries construction and research if u lack rubber

ur never gonna lack rubber as germany in sp

[wintry arch]

I swear why does republician spain win even on historical

[inner sparrow]

u probably lack the dlc

[subtle thorn]

i have every dlc and road to 56

[inner sparrow]

u need a certain dlc that makes them win

[inner sparrow]

I answered the neptun guy

[subtle thorn]

aha okay

[inner sparrow]

https://c.tenor.com/vIdaNq3URLsAAAAM/cat-bath.gif

[subtle thorn]

does bribe the officers for foucs do anything or should i ignore it? @inner sparrow

[inner sparrow]

gives u more army xp

u have better focuses to do

its fine later on to go down esp for the research bonus from the next focus after it

[subtle thorn]

so at wich year should i go foucs tree for army

[inner sparrow]

when u finished the important eco focuses

roughly late 38

[subtle thorn]

okay im canceling mefo after anschluss

[subtle thorn]

should i cancel it like that

[inner sparrow]

no

don’t cancel mefo

it’s good

[subtle thorn]

wdym dont cancel mefo

for the rest of the game?

[inner sparrow]

yeah

go early war

annex

if u manage them properly ur eco won’t die till 42-43

and u will kill sovs before that

[subtle thorn]

im kinda bad i got like 150 hours on hoi

[inner sparrow]

so ur gonna be able to do autarky achieved

[inner sparrow]

just build inf with air and cas, motorized supply line with somewhat decent stockpile and ur fine

dont use line arty

put everything on guns

and the usual stuff u need

[subtle thorn]

kinda scared i will get 100% consumer good

and ruin

[inner sparrow]

• Remilitarize The Rhineland
• Fuhrerprinzip
• Reichsleiter Todt
• Reorganize The Wehrmacht
• Anschluss
• The Four Year Plan
• Construct the Reichsautobahn
• Party Chancellor Hess
• Kdf-Wagen Factories
• Develop Heraeus Research Facilities
• Demand Sudetenland

• Build the Rur Dam
• Reassert Eastern Claims
• Coal Liquefaction
• Develop Modern Maneuver Warfare
• Adopt New Panzer Doctrine
• Instill Auftragstaktik
• Molotov Ribbentrop Pact
• Danzig or War

thats focus order i do

roughly

[inner sparrow]

cancel it then

[subtle thorn]

leme save

[inner sparrow]

but cancel it at price control

[subtle thorn]

at price control?

[inner sparrow]

yes at the focus institute price control

so that after cancelling it u can instantly lower your cg into negative

else ur gonna be stuck with 80% till u do the focus

if u do it early

unless you go left side germany

[glacial steeple]

thats not game ruining tho

[inner sparrow]

yes those

they lower ur cg from mefo

and even after cancelling

they apply to the spirit u get

I don’t recommend cancelling bc u lose the mil construction speed but if ur scared do it

its not too bad

[subtle thorn]

should i do it maybe after i anschluss

[inner sparrow]

no anschluss should be ur 5th focus

cancelling so early is bad

[glacial steeple]

you couldve done schluss by now

[inner sparrow]

if you mean your current game?

then cancel now

[subtle thorn]

damn for now it will my 13th im gonna restart :<

[subtle thorn]

yea im deploying 21 infantry

[unique ingot]

what are space marines?

[subtle thorn]

untis with 1 tank in them they take half damage

[inner sparrow]

infantry template with tanks in it

[unique ingot]

that sounds pretty op

[inner sparrow]

flame support and light tank support don’t count

[inner sparrow]

it’s alright

[glacial steeple]

not rlly

[unique ingot]

what type of tank is best?

[glacial steeple]

its an investment

[unique ingot]

medium, heavy?

[glacial steeple]

its really good with special forces

[inner sparrow]

heavy tank with high armor

only reason why u do it

[subtle thorn]

what should i deploy man to get anschluss that early?

[inner sparrow]

2w

2w infantry

and spam it

[subtle thorn]

2width?

[inner sparrow]

put 22-24 mils on guns at game start

[glacial steeple]

1 guy

[inner sparrow]

1 batallion of inf

[glacial steeple]

rhineland gives xp for it

[unique ingot]

its one unit and i tend to have alot of spare equipment and tanks especially mid game and end game

[inner sparrow]

for space marines to actually work u need an expensive tank

very expensive

[glacial steeple]

no because it means you arent investing into dedicated tank divs or air

[inner sparrow]

only other version would be using a light spg tank for higher soft

[unique ingot]

if i dont use dlc (no step back) space marine wont work?

[inner sparrow]

instead of an armor meme

[inner sparrow]

yes

[glacial steeple]

it works

[unique ingot]

i disabled the dlcs since i wanna learn the base game first before moving onto dlcs

[inner sparrow]

I mean in a way it does still work

but less effective

[unique ingot]

i am stuck on navy and naval invasions

[inner sparrow]

play with dlcs, dlcs are part of the game

and very important

base game is a unfinished game

[glacial steeple]

try this

[inner sparrow]

dlc are just updates but payed instead of free

[unique ingot]

i sometimes enable one dlc if i wanna play a specific country

[glacial steeple]

its also harder with less dlcs

ai has less to mess up

youll get pierced with that btw but its whatever

[inner sparrow]

if u can play with dlcs, its better for learning bc too much changes without them

and ur gonna have to relearn too many things

[unique ingot]

good point

[subtle thorn]

im doing subscriptions not buying the dlcs

every month

[inner sparrow]

I cant say what im doing

https://tenor.com/view/cats-gif-26546344

[unique ingot]

i also bought the subscriptions to try out the dlc but after it expired i kept all of them for some reason

[subtle thorn]

we know..

[subtle thorn]

i restared

my first build should be mils or civs at the dam

[inner sparrow]

do one civ

its needed in vanilla with the focus order I sent u

[subtle thorn]

so no road to 56?

[inner sparrow]

in road to 56 u also need to build one civ

[unique ingot]

only dlc i dont have it is the new japanese one

[inner sparrow]

I usually build full infrastructure in the dam states and then 1 civ and after only mils

[inner sparrow]

thats fine

[unique ingot]

pretty sure that dlc complicates navy even more

and i am still stuck on navy

i can never defeat britain as germany

[inner sparrow]

build max infrastructure in hessen, westfallen, rheinland and moseland and after 1 civ and then full mils

[subtle thorn]

for early game rubber im trading with dutch

[glacial steeple]

its the same as the vanilla update

[inner sparrow]

thats fine

[unique ingot]

whenever i put all my ships on patrol in the english channel the little naval dominace i get quickly lowers back to 0

[unique ingot]

and i cant naval invade

[inner sparrow]

too much infra

the other states arent needed

ur getting a lot of 100% states anyways from focuses

just build the 4 I told u and ur fine

[neat widget]

a space marine that si actually a marine be like

[inner sparrow]

you are getting banished to the skibbidi lands

[subtle thorn]

understood but if i do early war like you said and dont demand dutch trade i will not have any rubber

[inner sparrow]

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/1109857284735111309/1158716089908338758/bunnyw.gif

[neat widget]

ah yes skibidi san ma

[inner sparrow]

build rubber

[neat widget]

zero factory gaming

[inner sparrow]

u get enough factorys

[glacial steeple]

i HATE this game

WDYM the tag for RYUkyu is OKN

[neat widget]

okn for okinawa but yeah bruh

[subtle thorn]

damn i have so much to learn

[inner sparrow]

when you do the focus coal liquefaction build refs

for refinery tips

try to leave 3 building slots open in your 100% states and then build refs in those

its a bit hard and a lot of micro for new players

but after some time it’s doable

[subtle thorn]

i tought i would get europe till 150hours with the reich

but this is mind blowing

[glacial steeple]

thats like making the lithuania tag LET because the germans call it some LET starting name

[inner sparrow]

u can get europe easily with just following half we said

[subtle thorn]

not uk tho

[inner sparrow]

most of what we are telling u is very optimized stuff for mp even

[inner sparrow]

uk is easier than it seems

[subtle thorn]

and belgium is also hard a bit

[subtle thorn]

nah

[inner sparrow]

only because of supply issues

ur mostly getting stuck there bc u have 20 divisions per tile and bad supply

[subtle thorn]

aha

@inner sparrow

its impossible

to get anschluss

after the wehrmacht

[oak atlas]

Why do I have so many things that need to be repaired but they never get repaired?

[inner sparrow]

it isn’t

when u start the game keep ur starting army, put 24 mils on guns, make a 2w template and spam them out as much as u can

[subtle thorn]

im doing 2 cavlary

[inner sparrow]

make 2 inf

thought cav uses less guns

[subtle thorn]

damn bro i will restart again

[inner sparrow]

I mean doesn’t matter too much tbh

[subtle thorn]

3rd time

[inner sparrow]

still

the 24 mils on guns is important tho

and always just force deploy them

que up like 400 of them

[subtle thorn]

should i go on with

my play

with 2 cavlary

[inner sparrow]

if u want sure

[subtle thorn]

im at construct autobhan no anschluss

425k field

[inner sparrow]

u don’t have to be perfect on time with everything for sp

tho if u want to learn it then restart it

also idk if road to 56 changes the requirements for anschluss compared to vanilla

[subtle thorn]

it does

[inner sparrow]

I can only always tell u what will work in vanilla and mods like hmm

[subtle thorn]

so like 500k in filed

and

4000 infantry eq

[inner sparrow]

if its 500k in field then deploy a lot of 2ws and change them to your regular infantry army 1-2 focuses before you do anschluss

[subtle thorn]

i got it

i did kfd wagen

and now that

so im late 2 focues smth like that?

should i delete my spam after i get

the austira

i mean its no brainer sory

[inner sparrow]

keep it

not all of it

but some so u have enough manpower for the other focuses

you need mp for czech focuses

and u want to do them early aswell

keep 70-90 of your 2ws and change them to ur biggest infantry unit u have

[subtle thorn]

btw whats that you saying ws?

[inner sparrow]

widths

for combat width

your units have a combat width that is lien the size of your unit/template

[subtle thorn]

my cavlary is 4ws

[inner sparrow]

is template designer free in your mod?

like do you need to pay xp to change your template

[subtle thorn]

nope

yea

[inner sparrow]

unlucky

then change roughly 70-90 units of your cavalry to your biggest infantry unit u have

and keep those

so u have enough manpower (hopefully) for the other focuses later on

[subtle thorn]

70 to 90 infantry to my regular infanty i will have like -1m equipment prob

[inner sparrow]

make a copy of your regular infantry template

and disable all equipment in it

[honest shard]

i want to play multiplayer but i do not know how

[unique ingot]

how do i quickly raise compliance as a non aligned state while also making sure resistance isnt too high?

[inner sparrow]

and then change your cavalry unit to the normal infantry template with no equipment activated

[inner sparrow]

just go civilian oversight when the game starts and use a 2w cav unit as mp

u will be fine

[honest shard]

i really need some help

please

[subtle thorn]

tysm clown btw how much centuries or decades do you have on hoi

[unique ingot]

is there a better but more expensive alternative to cav?

cav just seems outdated

[inner sparrow]

not too much, I only really play multiplayer and not sp but on all steam accounts added roughly 2-3k

[inner sparrow]

nope

only better would be a template maxed out with cav lol

but thats waste of army xp

[unique ingot]

what is 2w?

[inner sparrow]

2 combat width

[unique ingot]

still new dont know all the hoi4 terms

[subtle thorn]

would you say you are better than bittrsteel?

[inner sparrow]

thats 1 batallion usually

[inner sparrow]

yes

he is not good

[unique ingot]

thats too little isnt it?

[inner sparrow]

no

not for military police

wont be deployed anyway

[unique ingot]

oh alr

[inner sparrow]

just use any cav division

that doesn’t have anything else in it

to be cheap

[subtle thorn]

he is not good😭 ??

[unique ingot]

last game i tried out military police with 3 battalions of motoirsed infantry

[inner sparrow]

yes he isn’t good

looking at multiplayer terms

even in singeplayer, he does flawed designs and a lot of mistakes but it doesn’t matter

ai is bad

his videos are nice tho, they are enjoyable

[stuck garnet]

hey can i have advice on air subdoctrines

[subtle thorn]

what about the multiplayer guy from lepzig

forgot his name

ginger one

[inner sparrow]

who?

[subtle thorn]

tommkay

[inner sparrow]

yeah lmao

[unique ingot]

also i noticed on some states i lose compliance because i have too much how do i counter it?

[inner sparrow]

tommykay is worse than bittersteel

[unique ether]

@neat widget your advice has done worders so far

[inner sparrow]

u have too much compliance? or what

or do u mean too much resistance

[unique ingot]

too much compliance

[subtle thorn]

damn i always tought they were realy good

since bittr saved the endsieg germany the thing where you are germany in 1945

[inner sparrow]

not that hard, ai in hoi4 is very, very bad

[stuck garnet]

just need like

[inner sparrow]

u can basically win against it with everything

[stuck garnet]

advice

is pinpoint good for strikes

over flying arty

[inner sparrow]

anything that gives u interception or good air stats and if u don’t need them for air superiority get the 3 doctrines that give more ground attack
