you cant
fighting strength cant be regenerated faster
Who ping
no clue
Heya there, new player here and absolute noob
Is this a good infantry devision for mid-37 as germany?
I always struggle to capitulate poland fast and I somehow loose the defence at the maginot line with 24divs
not the absolute worst ive seen
do u produce everything in that div?
the only way that fails against AI is if you don't have enough fighting strength
i produce everything, but i'm still a bit short on mills, they're under construction tho
are intelligence agenices a dlc?
Hmmm
là resistance DLC
I'll go with the usual support engineer+support AA+support artillery and yeah with 9 inf divs
But I sometimes use line art instead of the support art for more soft attack
Also have you changed the motorization priority to max trucks?
It's good, but by default your FM (field marshal) use horsey, so do change that
you mean horse cavalary divs change to tank divs?
wdym with that?
Huh?
No no
Lemme show you
This
ooohhhh
what does that do?
Basically use your trucks
To deliver supplies (which is historical for Germany)
You want fast occupation
You need fast supply
and the horses suck for supplies, right?
Kinda slow, yes
Well... Just don't forget to make trucks
oooohhhh
so thats why i suck at brazil
?
You used Brazil before? Or do you invade Brazil with Germany?
Brazil's problem is pretty much their transports really
nonono
i played brazil but sucked against venezuela bc of supplies
Ooh
Er... You sure you don't lack supplies?
Or is it because of your supply line?
I usually just go international trade for trucks, because I want to focus my research on something else and I pay for the trade for cheap (around 1-2 civ factories) for tons of trucks
supply line
it isn’t
remove the line arty, make it either pure inf 16-18w or 36width
i don't have the dlc for international market
Huh?
What's the dlc for that again
don't have flame tank dlc
use ranger then from mtn doctrine
you sure? i always suck against tanks when i don't have at
you can pierce most ai tanks with aa piercing instead of at but if u really want use at then
its like whatever
ai tanks are bad anyways
pushing inf should look something like this
they may be, but last time I lost at the maginot line against 4 france tank divs
this is from last update tho so the stats are a bit different
wont be because you didn’t pierce their tanks but different reasons
in most cases your division wont be the reason why u lose against ai
you can win with very bad divisions against ai, as long as you do other more important things properly
what other important things?
Having full supply, full stockpile and fully strengthened divisions, having enough divisions, having fully trained divisions (lvl 3), stacking combat modifiers like planning, air support, intel advantage, fully equipped high command, doctrines and so on
Wtf
?
The name
But why not line arty
because line arty is bad at pushing
Instead of more inf divs
Line arty doesn’t get breakthrough
and also has no hp
which u want for inf
but break is the main reason
Valid
gun3 is just better than line arty
I usually just slap one line arty since the widht would be 21
if u really want u can use light spgs even. They are less cost and have better stats than line arty
bad width
Eh, 21 is pretty normal for majors
16W performance is best overall in terrains for low widths
18 for minors
its not
u dont do 21 width
either u do 16-18 or 36
those are the best widths for nearly most divisions
unless you specifically design a forest or marsh division
theres a sheet or google docs for all combat width performances somewhere but I don’t have it on phone
np
I have a problem with field marshalls units won't execute battle plans but will under generals same armies just won't do it under a field marshall why ?
assign the units to the field marshal order
I did
@vast rock Hey there, do you by chance know if there's a place for me to share some suggestions/ideas that could be applied into HOI4 future updates?
head to paradox forums
Ah okay, thank you!!
How ? It's same as general controls right??
Do you build recon planes ? I've never used them 😕
yes but you need a frontline assigned from a field marshal
I did battle plan normally and when I execute it they don't do anything
they're only useful for mp, really
could you share a screenshot ? do not crop out anything if you do
ok ty. though they give some bonuses to fight, right ?
they give a small cas bonus and intel bonus iirc
but they're mainly built to gather inter, hence the mp use
(you can also use them on neutral territory to gather intel on future enemy, but they can also get shot down, and since AI knows immediately, it's a waste to do so in singleplayer)
ok. i'll build some just for fun and to spend my air points
Idk how to take a screenshot on a pc
it's frustrating to quite always have 500 air points ^^
Good to know
try to remove those orders and assign the frontline again but while maintaining SHIFT key so it creates a fluid frontline
also make sure battleplan aggressiveness is at balanced or aggressive, not careful
Okay I will try ( of it won't work I will just use generals )
also, don't overstack your generals
Also why is Italy taking yougoslavia coast in 38 and invading Switzerland in 40. On historical?
I have 3
if some ahist stuff happened it's not abnormal
they're overstacked, don't you see the red numbers?
2 of them have buffs equivalent to no general at all because of this
basically, if you see a popup, adress it. If you see red, you're doing something wrong
How to fix them over stacking
assign units to other generals
Oh I think I get it I do have 62 divisions on one of them
#ask-for-help-here message some stuff changed last updates but it's pretty much the same
Yeah thanks for the help have a good day
you too, have fun dicovering the game
how do you setup your patrol ship ? Never engage ?
never engage = no supremacy so no
ok. so less engagement is less supremacy ?
Might be the worst player of all time
Bro I'm just starting let me learn
I am
Less engagement is less fights you take
Less air you destroy
U r bad
Please bro, stop
Forget it
And you are annoying. But that is unnecessary to say it here. it's the ask for help channel.
Im not annoying
In a world full of lies the truth is crazy
@half yarrow if you want to learn play China
They are the easiest major
Country*
They look like a mess to me
Yeah yeah I mastered Poland already
How bro felt writing that
no, only never engage changes that. All other missions give the same
indeed, 20hrs in the game he's bad. Shocker
What's your point ?
poland and china aren't good starting countries
good starting countries would be soviets, germany, usa or canada/hungary
don't listen to this guy idk what he's on but he's high
Im happy I was able to beat France by my third game
So did I lie
never said you did but what's your point ? why tell him that, what does it bring ?
Im telling the truth
yes, but it's a help channel and that's not helping in any way, it's just being rude to a new player. They come in to ask questions and you're not supposed to hit them with "ur bad" (because of course they are, they're new), if you don't want to help, just don't look in this channel
Yo you don't get paid
I don't see the point ?
guh
what's the better choice in regards of Fate of Czechoslovakia? I know puppeting them is the historical option (iirc), but I see a bunch of mentions in favor of splitting it with hungary
annexing all in a good option but you can create slovakia if you want the compliance. Hungary will ask you for slovakia anyway on their own through their focuses later on
I see, so which one is better then? It's my first campaign :D
for a first just annex all, remember to swap the occupation law there (and in general) to local police force as germany and make sure your stability is at 100% so resistance doesn't stack up
you can put prague as harsh quotas for more factories too
question
I have finnally managed to conquer france as Germany for the first time
What desicion would be the easiest to deal with? Vichy france or annex all?
vichy = less resistance overhaul, do it if you don't have collab governements AND are new player. It's less worries
otherwise annex all
collab all was from intelligence agency, right?
yes
it give compliance on the country territory upon capitulation
compliance caps the resistance in territories and give a lot of buffs
aahh
i know it exists and I have the DLC, but i was to slow for that
So vichy france it is
aaand another general germany question
i heard the Generalgouverments/Reichskommisariats are helping upon the mefo bill stuff
I don't know how, but i heard it
Soo... how does it work and should I do it or should I ignore it?
basically, what you can use RK for is when you have mefo bills, you cap a country, take their gold (decision) to lower consumer goods and then release a RK to lower the consumer good factor growth in MEFO
but honestly, except if you don't think you can kill the soviets or the allies by 43, you don't have to worry about it
aahh
well, i couldn't take the gold of france, but I think it's because of vichy france
i have a NAP with the USSR but they are justifying wargoals agains me somehow
My plan was to try rushing GB and then go all in on soviets
vichy lowers it automatically iirc
they're porbably justifying against one of your alleis
so I will still go to war with soviets if thei're done?
do you have romania allied
if so then it's prolly bessarbia
the most likely thing happening is they're doing their focus to claim bessarabia
no big deal
yeah
whats that?
meeaans?
region in north east romania
romania will get smth that lets them either give the territory to russia or give russia a wargoal
kk
most of the time they give the territory
soviets will do a decision, romania will give them territories
so I should not worry about USSR yet and i can try to Naval invade GB?
yeah
wait what year is it
then you're prolly fine
yay
but I'm going to save my game just in case
was a good desicion not to play on Iron man in this game (tho, i am also playing on the 2nd difficulty instead of the 3rd, maybe thats why I got to cap france)
france is pretty easy to cap if you go through the benelux
I did
but on my last save, 24divs wasn't enough to hold the maginot line
maybe bc i forgot to get italy into the axis
huh
italy usually doesn't join the war til later
24 good inf divs should be plenty to hold
And I think it's bc i haven't done this
Dawg let him learn
they still join sometimes
at least before the dlc
maybe also the problem was that I didn't have much of tanks
im asking that cuz poland was still alive
yeah, maginot was all infantery
what were your doctrines
Is this for poles?
don't use line art unless you use the doctrines that buff it
template was for all of it
But in my new playthrough, i got almost the same div but maybe the tanks helped a lot
maybe switch the infantry
Inf 12
and get an operation doctrine they are busted
For more breakthrough
?
grand assault doctrine?
CW i guess
Nvm add more
This gonna be for push
So just add all slot inf, but for the last line just leave two inf
That should be it, then use field hospital, recon, supply, idk for the other two (you decide it)
I usually use that or desperate defense depending on how my mp is looking
isn't that over 36
even with large unit tactics
35 if I remember correctly
like this?
oh yeah that's good without large unit tactics
if you get large unit tactics you can add 3 more guys
Yeah good
research rangers or mountain infantry
what about the supports?
and swap the recon for rangers
get rid of AA
Supply support (I forgor the name)
unless you have like no fighters
logistics company
prolly not needed in europe
Ye, because Germany got tons of aircrafts
Eh, for Soviet later I suppose
you can always switch later tho
Rangers?
If you're lazy to build supply line, just use that imo
Ehh, I'm guessing I miss another DLC here.... What's a good tank I can make in 1938?
Valid point
do you have no step back
I only have the base game
research mountain infantry or rangers in the special forces area
then a good tank is just medium tanks
i have mountain
whatever those are
then swap your recon out for a recon guy with the star next to it
do I put any stuff on them with the + button?
You want fast or bulky tanks?
I want ones that win :P
Fast usually goes for Pz II
oh wait I forgot how you get recon rangers
Pz III is quite balanced
it's Panzer III
and you don't get them cuz you don't have by blood alone
i don't have one
never mind then
yeah you don't have the dlc
do you have armored support equipment building?
if so, add assault engi companies
yeah, so the left one is what I have, and the right one is the one that's suggested. What should I put in for stats on mine then?
yeah, germany starts with one
you should get nsb it's fun
oh really?
yeps
Building panzer isn't my specialty 
But I don't think you should use 9 engines
Like 4 armor 4 engine
i am planing on getting no step back and Götterdämmerung bc of the Ratte and the Schwerer Gustav
I usually go for that, 5 armor sometimes with 4 armor
they don't have nsb
Oh
you don't really need gotterdammerung
that one is only 6.8 speed, mine is 7.8
no?
What does have to do with engine building tho?
yours's soft attack sucks
the one on the right isn't there's
I noticed x_x
cuz they don't have the dlc that lets them build tanks
Oh bruh
event with max main gun it's kinda low
I mean it's good but it's expensive compared to some of the other good ones
see if you can check the breakthrough
cuz that prolly also sucks
try increasing armor
hopw do i get the suitable ship numbers where it is showing zero? I have my fleets set to strike force in the channel?
25€
but in sale only 15€ i guess
I don't know how to check that, this UI sucks
Pz III have no need for bulky armor
set some to patrol
you need them on patrol
Patrol
in the new naval system, patrol builds a base naval dominance, strike force multiplies it, and convoy raiding subtracts enemies's
the others are cheaper tho
at least they are in usd
So I guess that's it then, just slap 5 gun on it?
but then all of yours might die
it'll cost 100 army xp then
most of them are 15€ to 20€
Götterdämmerung and NCNS are the most expensives yet with 25€ and 30€
C'mon, what's the royal navy gonna do to U-boats?
yeah i'd get one of the cheaper ones
Until 1941, I guess
u-boats are shit in the english channel
(And seeplate tenders with fuggin 49€)
the dlcs i'd get are the ones cheaper than gotterdammerung, and that add focus trees and other content
true but he's naval invading in the channel
Bruh
light SPGs?
there are spgs in base game?
I did not know that
are they any 'necessary' DLCs i should lay my eye on first?
yes, they are the explosion icons on the tank research card, in the research view
^
oh yeah I always forgot to research those
no step back
I like by blood alone but it doesn't really seem that game changing to me
these?
BBA?
no step back is solid pick but my personal recommendation would be Arms Against Tyranny
you get special forces doctrines (awsome and you'll use it often), arms market (you'll use it quite often), MIOs (you'll always use them) and quite fun focuses in the nordic countries
by blood alone
By British Alone
italy and planes
aah
yes, but only research light ones, they have almost the same stats as mediums
I'd say nsb then aat
then prolly bba
oh, so skip the medium panzers then?
it's a bit early for the next lights....
what is bfb
i tried MIOs in a playthrough with a friend of mine, they look quiet complicated
#ask-for-help-here message
you use them for breakthrough stats
And GoE shouldn't be bought (Personal opinion)
good opinion
Battle for Bosporus
I haven't bought any of the ones that just add focus trees
cuz they seem too out of the way
ohh
definitely not a good DLC
first it's a country pack, only 3 focus trees with only a good one which is bulgaria's
not worth it except for achievement hunting imo
Yeah yeah, but Turks
at least it wasn't packed with bugs though
played twice with it, purely awful gameplay on my end
by the time you can do stuff, you're forced to do ww3
all of hoi4 is packed with bugs
some are just sneaky
Ngl, they need to remake it or something, I feel like you need to be able to do something when not choosing Ataturk
Ataturk is a green wall of buff
Other paths feel like you're removing a green wall from game
there are bugs, sure but some you can understand went under the radar
some others ... well tanu tuva assumed control of the comintern by 1937. Come on guys
(and mexico from the lallies in 1941)
I mean mexico taking ally leadership can be done without the dlc
yes but the AI wasn't supposed to do that
if you just get mexico in the faction and beat the allies early, then leave mexico as the only one left
huh
thing is, mexico and tanu tuva did that with any allies major caping (except france)
hmm, since you guys are talking about important DLC to get, what's the priority list?
it was just not tested, I can't accept people claiming that the DLC was thouroughly playtested with this kind of shit
since christmas is coming, so maybe some discounts materialize
NSB
Then go with AAT
Then BBA
It also depends on what you like to play
Do you need la resistance? Imo, I kinda need it
Germany, probably US, Russia
I mean c'mon, spies are important yk
I'm not a good player, but yes, spies help a lot
Gotterdammerung, hoo boy
what's that
Army against tyranny
Imo
1 - Arms Against tyranny
2 - No Step Back
3 - La Resistance
4 - By Blood alone OR GTR (for focuses essentially)
5 - NCNS
6 - Battle for the bosphorus / Trial of allegiance
7 - Graveyard of empires
Dude
Remove GoE
It never existed
hmm, I don't see AAT on DLC page :\
at least Irak's fun
It's a horror that no one should know
Hearts of Iron IV: Arms Against Tyranny
Four Northern democracies are seemingly helpless against nearby predatory dictatorships. Despite their size, Finland, Norway, Denmark, and Sweden have a chance to avoid conquest through clever diplomacy or fierce resistance.

$19.99
1906
Anyway where's Gotterdammerung on your list
same as BBA
What's that south American dlc again
they tried to add some new mechanics which they botched and now it's stuck in a weird balance so the only thing left are focuses
ToA
I lowk like ncns a lot
Ooh that one
too bad it's expensive as hell
Trial of allegence ?
It's not really good, same as BFB, they only add things for 3 countries
I find it overpriced, lacking balance, lacking flavor and quite bugged
I do like the doctrine changes though
NCNS is quite confusing for China & Japan for newcomers
Price wise, i often buy dlc when i can find them around 10 €
The Philippine's national focus tree is kind of boring
I think it has the flavor but it's definitely overpriced
what's GTR?
Gotterdammerung
also they need to fix AI a ton
and why is it Blood alone OR GTR?
One thing I can't accept, they said they wanted to make the pacific a real theatre but they didn't add any incencitive to capture islands ? wwth paradox. At least make a national spirit like Hearts of Oak or TFB mods do which gives buffs/debuffs to the country winning/losing the pacific island hoping campaign
dlc goes that cheap?
old ones yes
otherwise you have to go in the gray market area which isn't really safe to buy from
yes. Usualy last one is around 20, then decreases over time
if you get the hoi4 subscription and then unsubscribe do you just lose access to the dlc
The Philippines overpowering Japan & USA by spamming subs also needs to be fixed 
at the end of the subscription contracted, yes
probably
The only good way to play the Philippines is just to slap subs and sleep
Kinda lack the tension or skill to play it imo
if you paid for 1 month, at the end of said month you'll lose access
if you paid for a year, it'll last a year
Meanwhile China got all the tension with debuffs
I mean the incentive is that it makes it easy to invade by island hopping
but you don't even need to get all of them
and usually it's easier to go around
you can also simply ignore it completely, invade hawai directly and from there invade the US
business as usual
and the US can just naval invade japan day 1 too
am I going blind? Can't find NCNS
top of the list, the big one
very top one
with the image
you can invade hawaii directly?
ah
No compromise no surrender
do you just need a ton of cruisers or what
You couldn't?
yes, you just need to remove the shitty destroyers from the fleet or use underway replenishment special project
you aren't supposed to be because of how projecting supremacy now works
I never tried
Yeah
because island hopping is more fun
and even if there's no incentive to some things I still do them
I did slap some cheap CV the last time I tried to put my supremacy up
but you can build it up before the war, launch orders before declaring and when the day passes it fires automatically because the enemy didn't have time to build up projection
Yeah, but gonna waste oil
you can just trade
But should be good
or capture good provinces
won't work in multiplayer tho right
you put 10 light cruisers up with a fleet on strike force for a week and you're good
I'd rather not, that time I'm building more mill factory
I feel like the dlcs are more and more not designed around ai
Someone can give me a tip why i am always losing? With portugal i do like 40 divisions to attack spain and i always lose, is bcs my template? Or i just suck😔
they should just put aside some time to fix the ai
prolly a combination of template and supply issues
it can but nobody does pacific war in MP
planes are king and rubber is in asia so every competent japan/US player won't bother
they'll just invade philipines, malaya, india and DEI
😔 I suck hard at this game, well when get home will study how to make a good template

what does japan do if they wanna beat the us in mp tho
they're just not balancing the AI out of fear for the newer players coming in
they don't want players to arrive and get their asses kicked so they just let the ai drool on itself
they build planes and capture the rubber/try to kill india and australia
why don't they just keep the current ones and have a seperate better ones
there's difficulty settings for a reason
but what about after that
do they just paradrop
they're a decoy in MP, aimed to buy germany time and force the allies to build refineries
so settled on something like this
Also, idk about the others but I kinda pick the 6 months subscription instead of buying them all
I hate subscriptions :D So it's no go for me
Ah valid
I'd rather wait for a sale, then get saddled with infinity subscription
as long as you plan on owning that for a year and a half you'll be better off
Basically, every MP game (competitive/serious) goes like this :
Germany builds up to kill soviets with hungary and romania
Bulgaria, spain and italy play firemen in europe to prevent DDay
Allies try to DDay to save soviets from getting rolled because if they cap, allies can't DDay
Raj and australia (replaced by mexico if there's one) and some US troops fight off japan to protect rubber and prevent japan from coming to africa and locking out the med
Japan tries to be as annoying as possible without dying
not accounting for more dlcs releasing
Yeah
Idk when they gonna release the allies expansion
well, I do :) I tend to play games on and off, and return after a year+ and play more
Should be around 3 months?
which one
next dlc is q2 of 2026
and it's south asia focus trees
and military HQs
and ship captains
this one I'm actually xited for
also in q2 of 2026 is czechoslovakia focus tree
that was a troll wasn't it ?
I love when they do an entire dlc for one focus tree
no 😭
bruh
OH??
and it's prolly gonna be 15 USD
The Allied betrayal of Czechoslovakia at Munich and the later German annexation of that country is a key moment in the historical march towards World War II in Europe. But imagine a world where the White Lion of Prague was prepared to face German aggression - bravery in the face of oppression. Explore that scenario in Peace for Our Time, a new F…
$48.77
Q2 2026
It's not gonna be US expansion along with the allies expansion?
ignore price that's for the whole expansion pass
those are the next 2 major dlcs
so if that's coming it'll be either late 2026 or early 2027
SEA expansion first???
OHH??
FINALLY
DEI shall crush the Japanese once again
But yes, I've been waiting for the Czech expansion like forever
Especially if poles are added as the part of western betrayal expansion pack (Czech+Poles) if that could happen
it won't
the czech dlc is ONLY the czechs
Ah sad
literally nothing else
nope
it won't be that much
...
that's the expansion pass price
Ooh
so it's 48$ including the other 2 dlcs and a few skins
But seriously SEA expansion pack is gonna be added?
I heard it's gonna be Thailand only
Was hoping for the entire SEA lmao
this expansion pass is ncns, a dlc with australia, siam, and indonesia, and a dlc with just the czechs
2 skin dlcs as well
since the expansion pass saves 20%, the remaining skin pack and other 2 dlcs will likely be around 25$
Well that's 75% of the globe so would be quite a lot
which would mean either the skin pack is free and the czech pack is 5 dollars, or I did my math wrong
or the south asia pack is 15$ but that doesn't sound like paradox
South East Asia...
Not the entire sea in the world
thailand is indochina right
they might make indochina seperate with the dlc if paradox wants to change up some things
/s.
Idk reddit
that means sarcastic
Ooh
I don't think so
Must buy haha
oh wait no it is siam
Yeah
Indochina consists of three nations if I remember correctly
Cambodia, Vietnam, Laos
here's the 2 dlc descriptions
yeah
A proper sea dlc, ship captains!!!
Ooh good one
prolly not that important
it's like the division commanders
But the SEA
they don't really matter too much
More filling
To Italy?
we need less projects 😭
there's already like 500000

Waow we have officers for navy
Sorry chat we need more land projects
Idk shit about nuclear
Cause i never research nuclear
Idc about land projects those are a decent number
Maybe even a bit low
Air projects are the problem
And sky projects always cost a lot of points
I haven't seen your Minecraft friend in a while
Did you lock him in your basement
I heard this is the standart template for garrisons against raising ressistance, is it right?
It seems rather... empty
yeah that’s fine
either that one or just template with full cav
if u play vanilla u don’t wanna waste army xp on a template with full cav divs so u just use one with 1 cav div
or any cav div that has nothing else in it
I'd rather not do the full cav, just go with one
And definitely never use your main army
if u play with a mod that makes army template free its better
It's gonna be expensive as heck
but in vanilla don’t do it, its a waste of army xp
@upper basin are you single
noob spotted
Look, I have two girls that I haven't been in contact with
@hollow linden If you tried to answer every question correctly then your entire life becomes a test
What 😭
What 💀
oh yeah bb
Is bro tryna give life advice rn 💀
One is my gf, and we're now far from each other now and there's a girl that confessed to me like 10 months ago
I just wish I could be more of a man really
you are doing fine
its a joke
Eh, fools on me
It's not funny!!!!
@inner sparrow I am not even kidding im the best UK player here
you are perfect
I've got one and I keep chasing another, even the first one doesn't know, that's just sad
Forget chasing girls
chase your dreams
this will be u
I ended up leaving both, and now Hoi4 is the only one with me bruh

how good are you
good for most standards
im still a better UK player
join rb server then and proof yourself
say please
quick question
when does Japan attack the phillipines and america goes to war/to the allies?
Late 1941
Ngl is mot rocket arty good
hmm
What should I pick, if I don't want war with america then?
at least not untill i got to capitulate GB and therefore the Allies
and soviets
Idk about that, never tried the second one
then the first one it is
@upper basin How often is USA Civ boosting, USSR World tension spiking and Allied France hold all banned?
Ussr world tension spiking?
Defeat Albania.
yes
r u single
What that
How tho
How or Why?
Justify on the USA
No it boosts world tension helping the allies alot
due to war support and easier mobilization
- Usually allowed
- Not at all
- It matters
Some allow a full hold
Some allow none
Some allow a hold for a year or 2
civ boosting from usa is only banned in server that are coping and bad
usa should and needs to boost especially in early the ussr
Usual, Nah, idk bout this
what is a good paratrooper division? I struggle with the naval invasion to land in GB
france hold is banned or restricted or coped modded out in most servers
if france wants to hold with entire allies they will hold
Why even ban it
because the game would be over in 39?
Just invade belgium if youre that scared
USA got penalties, so c'mon, you need infrastructure and civs to make it quite good, I don't see the reason for banning this
Fair
what r u even saying bro
you don’t kill france if france holds with the entire allies, its just too much ic for germany to handle in 39
Valid
Yeah fair
- they lose air
!
nah u can win air early on as ger as long usa isn’t allowed to ll their heavy fighters till they join the war
axis only loses air the moment usa heavy fighters join
ofc that’s only the case if axis even try to contest
which they shouldn’t
Britain carries 💪
speaking of wich
how can i effectivly attack britain as Germany? I... kinda ignored my navy in this run
did you win air
most of it is in the english canal, but not in england as a country
North Sea route
so not via the canal?
The English Channel is easier imo
Ports mouth+dover
If it’s sp they can’t do much
just get lucky in the north sea
wait till they move navy and launch instantly!
hot daymn I got it
But it's only 4 motorized lol
you already won
i am loosing the defence :c
make sure you get supplies
escort convoys
i basically have no more navy
GB destroys it very fast
play this weekend
Expand
huh?
i landed right next to portsmouth and got it as well as dover again :D
uh...
i can't sadly, bc i get home so I can't play till beginning of janurary
and i'm not that comfy with speaking in english qwq
which language do you speak
german
german so tuff
gm
i'm reloading
i just lost 30 divs in england
Moutaneer, desert, etc are only general trait or could a marechal also use them ?
Isnt that called like an air gamble or smth
both
I think that's the cancel MEFO bill
Is cancelling mefo good
cancel mefo bills so good
yes that’s an air gamble
Empty CV sometimes banned, sometimes not, but I hope it's always banned cuz too repetitive
but they are easyer to get on a general, right ? (i'm thinking about grinding a good marshall, and i'm wondering if i should grind him as a general at first)
air gamble it when axis puts most mils on air and tries to contest allies air superiority so ur right
well the effect is halved for an FM, you can put either on the general slot to grind
not really, its fine but keeping them is better imo
unless you really struggle with managing them
just the efect is halved ? I thought it was also the xp earnt
But most of them would be weak fighters
Till you get good CAS
they lose either way brah
no? italy rushes improve airframe and u have german stats with 2 armor plate which us very good for fighters
they don’t unless brazil ac
u can air gamble in vanilla pretty consistently
because of 2 armor plates ger ac fighters
Hmmm aight
I think France hold is kinda banned from some places
main reason for air gamble working is soviets being too weak so even with axis going air gamble in vanilla, ussr dies anyways
Or maybe all ban this
Yeah
how many mils does axis usually put on air
before 1940
depends on how much air the allies put
USSR spike tension, I think it's quite horrendous
but 150 on air and ur gambling
Idk but I've never seen someone use it
and u always check enemy air count
if they go a lot higher u go too
How much does the UK tend to put
depends on how much air the axis is putting. Rule of thumb is always more than your enemy to get air superiority
there is no fixed amount
also uk is less important for air, usa has better fighters so usually uk does the cas
unless axis is air gambling
Best DLC i can get? Im on a budget i cant get more than one
NSB or AAT
No step back or Army against tyranny
NSB
Both if you could get it
Because international market is pretty fun to use
And Mio's
Just go tail or head
Darn on one hand i want to get the army spirits
But on the other hand I WANT THE NORDIC FOCUS TREES 😭
Tails
You got tails?
Alright then
Ooh okay
flame tanks and armored support vehicle
and naval too
True
Nuclear torpedo
Tons of nuclear armaments for navy
Is the "press this button to nuke this tile" part of Götterdammerung?
Gotterdammerung add nukes, yes
Wait nukes aren't part of base game?
damn I never even knew they existed
I'm trying to say Gotterdammerung adds more choices for nukes
never got that far in the game
lmao
You don't need to have dlc to have nukes
the real nightmare is trying to do nuke strikes in this time of age
they dont always work
You can do research
there is a hard cap on how high you can go as uk
because you use up all the air base very quickly
you never wanna go above like 150
and in pure vanilla africa air is basically free
you also don't need to go high at all
is that pure vanilla?
yeah
well you would have 90 on it at danzig
you probably shouldn't go below 90
why wouldn't you go higher?
at which point can you know that you have most likely won air
looks cool
and to bomb danzig
for no reason
anyways ima leave
90 mil is nothing
90 is like if the axis is having nothing on air
then you might stay at 90
and usa go 100
so what year are you having 150 on air till
well if axis is air gambling probably for the whole game
or go down when you start making CAS
is 75/25 fighters and cas good
when
also all of this has to do with what your usa is doing
Don’t forget to make naval bombers
yes
I forgot them once then ruined the game🥀
just put destroyers out
what else would you be building with another 100 mils in 1940...?
tanks
inf
tanks as uk?
not 1940
75/25 1940-41
ok how many mils do you have in jan 1940
something like along the art of pleasure
Put everything on Strat bombers 🗣️
tanks(if you mean recon and light) is fine
you probably don't wanna make inf tho
you need gun 3
to go up
like 90
you are ai?
MP, France lived long and Germany never tried sealion!
this either means you are really bad, and/or your team is really bad😭
ideally you have double this number
even in singleplayer you should have more than this
are you insane
nobody is getting 180 mils on vanilla uk
hes right tho
start of 1940
90 mils in 1940 is low
in your eyes then how much mils does soviets get before barb starts or ger
so if you hop into
a game rn
as the UK
you would get 180 mils 1940 Jan
I don’t play uk, im only saying from experience the mil count my enemy uks have in my games
I won't, because it
it
singleplayer
but still i would get way more than 90
my game wasnt MP
i just looked at recording
it was SP
???
bro
U just said it was mp 😭
ok next time you play mp make sure you yell at your team to trade you
if you play pure vanilla, annex british malaya with ocmpliance
1940
that's like 20 factory of trade
probably like 100 - 120
depends on if you are greedy
how good is annexing malaya
it is essential in mp
so all the rubber trade goes to you
instead of some random ai/ai puppet
yers
like usa and all the minors would buy rubber off you
you should be having like 50 civs from trade at danzig
okay so
very different from sp
oh also dismantle your faction day 1
make a new industry one
it's free 10% construction speed and 10 output
let me run a game in sp rn
How do I win Germany Civil War?
use ur tanks and push to the czech border
go down and encircle the southern divs
kill them
then just battleplan the north
What if I dont have tanks I will do it instant at 1936 when I start.
u do have tanks at start?
No
ok
work on both enemy navy and coastal cities
ok lol
even in sp
90 is crazy
look at this
