ask-for-help-here

[inner sparrow]

no

line arty are shit

[rare bough]

i mean defensive

[inner sparrow]

and esp shit for pushing

they do nothing burger

[rare bough]

what is esp

[inner sparrow]

especially

[stuck garnet]

Especially

[rare bough]

ah

well ik about that

[stuck garnet]

No breakthrough

[inner sparrow]

arty is better at defending than pushing but its bad for both

[rare bough]

thats why im sying that th divisions turn defensive

[inner sparrow]

its very bad at pushing

[rare bough]

ik

thats why i need smt

that will make my army offensive

[inner sparrow]

theres better options for defence

[stuck garnet]

3 width

[inner sparrow]

?

[stuck garnet]

2 line arty = 3 inf

[rare bough]

well thats prob for early game

[inner sparrow]

thats not the bad part and never was, bew doctrine has cw reduction

theres other things that mske it bad

no hp and break

[rare bough]

also i lost after i made a mess with the div. template

and half of the world send their armies to me

[inner sparrow]

if u want defensive units make 16w pure inf with aa,signals and whatever

[stuck garnet]

Yeah

[rare bough]

nah i need offensive game for mid to end game

[inner sparrow]

if u want attacking inf make it 36w with support arty (very good) aa, signals, logi and whatever else u need

^

if u have enough ic make spg tanks !!

[rare bough]

i would like to see a pic of it

[rare bough]

i barely manage to get stuff and make inf divisions

anyway

the thing is that i usually convince the balkan nations to join my legue

[inner sparrow]

something like this, the stats are from old doctrines and will be higher this patch

change at for support arty

[rare bough]

and be one but either romania is fuцking everythig up or greece

[rare bough]

i aint gonna make that

[inner sparrow]

make small inf then for pushing if u lack ic

any 16width division with support arty and new doctrine will push btw

[rare bough]

i lack of manpower from begining to mid game

[inner sparrow]

ai is shit

[inner sparrow]

make this

16width, support arty

and add in whatever else u need

[rare bough]

ok

[inner sparrow]

like logi or aa

[rare bough]

ok

[inner sparrow]

support arty is very good this patch, theres a doctrine in the infantry tree that gives it +20% soft

very worth it as its also cheap

1-2 mils on arty since start and u always have enough

[stuck garnet]

Idk i usually have 3

But yeah thats true

[inner sparrow]

3 is too much, efficiency building up on the mils over start is more than enough if u put at the start of the game

its not the worst tho so

[harsh spear]

Hii

I know i'm new here

But is this template good?

[stuck garnet]

I used to put like 5 i think?? Idk

Hey

Also likr

[inner sparrow]

no

[stuck garnet]

If im trying to get certian techs

Is it better to like

Uhh

[inner sparrow]

remove line arty, remove support at, add inf till 36w or remove inf till 16-18 width

[stuck garnet]

Use my focus tree to boost it?

[inner sparrow]

ofc if u have good bonuses

[stuck garnet]

When im working on like stuff for industry and politics?

Cause i go spartacus germany sometimes

And also like

Peg

P-e-g

[harsh spear]

So artillery is bad?

[stuck garnet]

And i dont know like

[inner sparrow]

as example on soviets in mp we do the soviet arty tree that gives us 2 times 2yr ahead of time bonus so we can get at3 in 1940, 3yrs ahead

[stuck garnet]

Support arty good

[inner sparrow]

line artillery is bad, support arty is good

[harsh spear]

Oh

[inner sparrow]

use tech bonuses like 100% on later stuff

like gun3, aa3 and so on

[harsh spear]

Looking like this now

[inner sparrow]

50% are fine on a bit earlier things

[inner sparrow]

remove inf batallion to either 18-16 width or add inf batallion to 36width

u dont want to use a 24 width template

[harsh spear]

Which one is better?

18 or 36

[stuck garnet]

Oh

Like

Question

[inner sparrow]

16 is better for defending or pushing with cheap units and 36 is better for pushing if u have bigger eco

[harsh spear]

I'm the Soviet Union, so

[inner sparrow]

yeah

[inner sparrow]

36 is good then

put most ur mils on guns

[stuck garnet]

Sorry im distracted i ate a loooot

[inner sparrow]

all good

[stuck garnet]

like why for later?

like 100 isn't gonna do much for technology down the line

even then like

uhh

[inner sparrow]

it does tho

[stuck garnet]

if i'm done with my tech tree then like

like almost done

i don't get the point sorry

[inner sparrow]

u do it so u get it ahead of time

most games will end in 41-42

[harsh spear]

What about motorized? Is 24 w good

[inner sparrow]

and most wars happens in 41

like big wars

if u play hist

[stuck garnet]

can you not like

first

if you wanna do mot

[inner sparrow]

motorized are bad

[stuck garnet]

add mot recon

second

[stuck garnet]

this

it's fast infantry

that's literally it

use calv if you want fast infantry

[inner sparrow]

its worse than inf

even worse than cav

[stuck garnet]

cause trucks?

[inner sparrow]

cause no stats

[stuck garnet]

oh

yeah that too

[neat widget]

perhaps the only use for motorized recon

[stuck garnet]

i think some divs get away with having no stats

[neat widget]

although even then might as well used armored car recon instead

[inner sparrow]

also, so u can starz producing the later stuff that is better, your mils take time building up efficiency esp after u change lines

[neat widget]

motorized recon is just bad

[inner sparrow]

motorizes is bad

[stuck garnet]

like early game inf for example

[neat widget]

if you can get light tank recon to 12 kmh then yeah use that instead

[stuck garnet]

yeah motor is not worth

[neat widget]

or if you have helicopters helicopter recon can be good

But yeah

[inner sparrow]

only good motorized is motorized aa

[neat widget]

Motorized is not good

Yeah

[harsh spear]

This one is the motorized that comes at the start

[neat widget]

although if you need piercing for cheap motorized AT is not that bad either

[harsh spear]

I just modified it a bit

[inner sparrow]

dont use it at all

motorized is one of the worst batallions in the game

[harsh spear]

So what do i do then

[inner sparrow]

this is a mp tierlist and not entirely true as its country dependent but u can look at this to know what’s good and bad

[inner sparrow]

infantry

infantry and tanks with mechanized

[neat widget]

b tier amtracs

yeah fair amtracs cost a lot

[inner sparrow]

get no stat buffs from doctrines safly

[neat widget]

Oh really?!

Gah

[inner sparrow]

so the division itself isn’t good

yeah

only good part is the sf bonus

and mechs get insane stats

[harsh spear]

Do i scrap the motorized divisions?

[inner sparrow]

yes

[harsh spear]

Ok

[harsh spear]

Aren't tanks nerfed?

I heard smth about it

[bleak plinth]

do i have t control or own them??

[inner sparrow]

no they never got nerfed

spgs and tds are the best divisions

[opaque garden]

i have a war goal why cant i declare war

[inner sparrow]

spgs for sp and TDS for mp

and both are tanks but different variants

[inner sparrow]

u have to change the role of your medium tank as example to an medoum artillery tank for spg

[opaque garden]

help

i want my cores back

[neat widget]

Noooooooo

are you in a faction btw

[harsh spear]

Light, medium or heavy tanks

[opaque garden]

yes

is that the problem

[neat widget]

Yeah seems like a faction rule

[opaque garden]

ah

rhx

[inner sparrow]

medium for sopgs

spgs

in singleplayer

[harsh spear]

What about normal tanks

[sinful vessel]

do i need to have only paratrooper in an army to set up a drop ?

[inner sparrow]

mid

[harsh spear]

So, not go for it at all?

[north jetty]

Trying to manifest destiny any tips or suggestions on what I should start with

[inner sparrow]

its not bad but also not as good as the others

[sinful vessel]

Could someone help me ? I can't find the way to do my paratrooper drop.

[zenith nest]

Im so confused do the sov never accept the finno sov pact? Ive done it 5 times and they just say no and block me out the rest of the tree. Do i need like high option or something?

[tepid umbra]

why didn't this achievement work when I annexxed austria early in the game, and never joined a germany faction

[wintry matrix]

Read the ingame achievement tab description. (It often offers more precise information)

You have to wait until 1945, if I recall correctly.

[tepid umbra]

💔

[wintry matrix]

Then the achievement fires.

[woven rune]

i really thought I understood supplies in this game but this is stumping me.
Why is there no supplies for this ships?
I have every supply line almost maxxed, how to you get more supplies to the pacific

[woven timber]

what are spgs?

[supple patrol]

Does anybody here have quick and easy guide/approach how to deal with this energy mechanic? How to build up a military in current game update? I previous game versions I was spamming civil factories in early game and then spamming military factories when my building speed becomes high enough, what changes in this strategy I need to make now?

[neat widget]

Yes

And somewhere in the bottom row there is a paradrop icon

[novel timber]

I came here to ask the exact same question. Supply capacity looks to be sufficient, but the fleet based there is not using the capacity.

I think it's actually limited based on the province max supply, even though the wiki says that shouldn't be a limit.

[woven rune]

my guess is wake and the micro state islands are in the same state and having partial ownership over a state causes less supplies

[cold bloom]

Regardless I think naval supply has some bugs

[distant rover]

how do I get my troops to go into the water

[woven rune]

i think the waters where supply travels through also must not be contested?

also true it prob bugged

which makes the pacific war theatre suck

[distant rover]

can anyone help me

how do I get my troops to go into the water

[woven rune]

if you are moving them manually, they have to be at a navel base of some kind to then go to another navel base you click on

[austere roost]

self propelling guns

[distant rover]

what

that makes no sense

[distant rover]

its still not working

[bleak plinth]

guys the allies have been at war with japan for 3 years and im trying to get battlecry achievement as a warlord state how do i get warscore quickly since i aim to invade the home islands which is lightly garrisoned

[coarse finch]

Do you have enough convoys?

[novel timber]

I reported a bug for this issue. I think it's limited by province supply but I don't think it should be.

[distant rover]

I keep losing to lithuania

as germany

[woven rune]

they are on navel base, click on other navel base you want them to go to

[keen beacon]

guys i dont understand how to attack, im new to the game, started today and i cannot invade uruguay (im argentina)

[chilly sluice]

What's the best subdoctrine for a tank build? Assault infantry or mobile Iinfantry?

[austere roost]

mobile just gives org right? not very useful then

[novel timber]

I reproduced the same naval supply bug on Hawaii. Navy supply is limited by province maximum instead of naval base maximum. Here is the bug report if you would upvote it https://forum.paradoxplaza.com/forum/threads/navys-supply-is-limited-by-province-supply-maximum.1890795/

[chilly sluice]

It gives speed

[austere roost]

for mobile/mechs? not very useful then

[neat widget]

Assault because breakthrough

[chilly sluice]

I usually like going for Large unit tactics but I'm playing a smaller nation this time

[chilly sluice]

ty

[austere roost]

also spgs are better than tanks now since they can get major buffs from 2 branches

at least in sp

[pliant condor]

you can pick mobile first and get the truck research bonus

[neat widget]

Well does that change much

[pliant condor]

also if you also field regular inf consider large units

[chilly sluice]

Which branches? Don't you need the new dlc for em?

[austere roost]

from the artillery and armor branch

[pliant condor]

check?

[bleak plinth]

guys the allies have been at war with japan for 3 years and im trying to get battlecry achievement as a warlord state how do i get warscore quickly since i aim to invade the home islands which is lightly garrisoned

[pliant condor]

do you have the branhces that buff spg

[chilly sluice]

The only thing I see that buffs spgs is streamlined deployment

[neat widget]

Yes, and TDs in multiplayer

[neat widget]

Hope

[austere roost]

in artillery there is one branch that mainly buffs spgs and tds

[neat widget]

Hope that they liberate a democratic Japan and then just go to war with it

[neat widget]

Self propelled support

[distant rover]

okay

also

I jmeep losing

[scenic nacelle]

Put navy on patrol

I see u deleting ur message

[analog maple]

yea ty i got it

[rain iris]

When is it smarter to puppet a country instead of annex it. Because i mostly puppet states but you wont get any factories. And lowering autanomy never works because you will have to trade with them.

[analog maple]

if it has alot of population it pretty good. also if you dont wanna worry about protecting it good like if you just puppeted east indies for rubber

[rain iris]

And when you want manpower?

[analog maple]

you can just ask for mp from ur puppets

[sour wadi]

question, would you consider 522 hours a "new" player

or like, a "newgen"

[charred fable]

Curious... is it worth even building subs prior to 1940's and snorkel?

Low tech/eco nations, subs seem like the obvious choice, but when they're so susceptible prior to reducing their visibility, what's even the point in having them until you got spec'd out ones?

[alpine pivot]

QUIZ TIME:

did i cheat?

yes or no

[chilly sluice]

best fighter sub doctrine for cas?

[analog maple]

no

nvm yea

cause everything is annexed

guys what do carriers do?

[elfin star]

im new to game can sm1 tell me what is what in a vc? i alr played rise of nations in roblox but idk about hoi4

[bleak plinth]

how do i get the neverending story achievement i thouhgt i got everything

please someone help

[tiny bough]

What does this mean?? Units with "eye" instead of experience color and see through map icons

[vital geode]

Those are fake intel divisions

Absolutely worthless in singleplayer. Can be quite memey in MP

[tiny bough]

ooooooooh

Wow cool

[tiny bough]

@elfin star ^

[brittle ingot]

is this a good tank div?

[devout tartan]

does the + 20% supply consumption matter a lot in the sino-japanese war for japan?

[neat widget]

Uh...

That design should be your flame tank

For your main line tanks you should use medium howitzer

and they can probably be spgs

also get assault engineers

[brittle ingot]

what is spgs and howitzer...

[neat widget]

and either light tank recon or ranger recon

These things, you unlock them from artillery tree

[brittle ingot]

oh ok thank you

[brittle ingot]

can you show me your design if you dont mind?

[neat widget]

I'd do something like this, I probably am using a worse chassis than you tbh

[brittle ingot]

oh ok

[neat widget]

This, I mean, forgot to change it to spg

[brittle ingot]

what is a spg🥲

[neat widget]

self propelled gun

self propelled artillery that is

so nominally we're sticking an artillery gun on a tank chassis and using it as artillery

[analog maple]

guys what a good marine division design?

[neat widget]

what terrain are you attacking into

[analog maple]

uh idk

i think plains

[narrow grail]

Do I get any debuffs for wargoal gained from focus expiring?

[neat widget]

ah then 12 marines + 5 mech + 1 aa with pioneers, flame tanks, hospitals, light tank recon, and artillery/super-heavy howitzer

[sour wadi]

just a quick question, through the japaneese emperor path, what formable if any is there?

[narrow grail]

I don't think it has any formables but you can core all Asia, if we talk about the middle political path about supporting Kodoha.

[neat widget]

If you're wondering about the pins yeah the space marine template in the pins would also do well

[sour wadi]

ye this one

[narrow grail]

The last focus allows integrating Asian states

that's all, no formables and other cosmetic changes

[sour wadi]

eh, i thought it would have some kinda formable, thought every japaneese path would

cheers

[narrow grail]

Only opposing the military has

Hist has eternal empire but it doesn't give much cores

[devout tartan]

does the + 20% supply consumption matter a lot for japan?

[sour wadi]

ahhh welp

[sour wadi]

yes.

by the gods, yes

china, is a supply HELL

not as bad as siberia

dont get me wrong

but supply aint too good out there

[narrow grail]

If you get stuck yes

[sour wadi]

its decent near the north coast

but away from the coasts, is where it starts to collapse

[devout tartan]

What subdocterine should I go for as japan?

[uneven hinge]

Can I build a naval hq on my puppet (RK)'s naval base if i build it up?

[neat widget]

assault infantry probably

[tepid umbra]

are heavy bombs the best for cas if I can afford researching them?

[neat widget]

Yes

Best all the way up to super-sonic aircraft

where it starts being better to use AT2 + 3 normal bombs + 1 rocket

But actually heavy bombs are still better because they're quite a bit cheaper than that combo

[sonic wasp]

Is it advisable to combine rangers and mountaineers by playing them in a single division in South America? I’m playing as Peru.

Which main and secondary doctrines should I use?

[summer flume]

what general do i grind as sov

[haughty vortex]

Which one i should go for, concentrated or dispersed industry?

[woven rune]

so do ships in the patrol mission just never initiate combat?

[lyric geyser]

No they basically always do

[woven rune]

not in my experiance so far weird

[lyric geyser]

You can test yourself go into a game open console type ai then type allowdiplo or free diplo and you can put 2 countries at war and put both navies on patrol in the same sea zone

[woven rune]

also are subs as convoy protection bad?

[lyric geyser]

Yeah honestly you don’t even need to do convoy protection you just need navs

[woven rune]

this?

[neat widget]

That's a bit too expensive for comfort, but I mean it does have 4000 km range

[lyric geyser]

Way to expensive lol

[woven rune]

it was meant for pacific

[lyric geyser]

You can achieve the same for way less ic

[neat widget]

Typically we use medium planes for that purpose, not heavy planes, but yeah the general idea is the same

[woven rune]

also i like to larp a bit because i have already spent 700 hours playing optimal designs

[neat widget]

If you're wondering how to do medium plane naval bomer you use the first slot for machine guns

Suboptimal but will probably do

[woven rune]

for sub hunting with destroyers, is it best to just have them on patrol with always engage and subs as only target, or convoy escort?

[neat widget]

Patrol

Because destroyers that find subs with patrol will find them targetable

If destroyers find subs on convoy escort, they will find subs submerged

[woven rune]

oh shit is this new? how does this work?

[woven rune]

this makes sense, ty

[neat widget]

by the way it's the exact opposite in real life

Better let the subs come to you than spend your effort searching the entire ocean, and yeah you can see them on sonar from quite far

[reef star]

AI japan beats china every single time in my games

happens every time after the dlc

is it normal?

[inner mountain]

whats the best doctorine for heavy tanks?

[neat widget]

Heavy tanks proper, heavy SPGs, or heavy TDs?

[inner mountain]

proper

for singleplayer

[woven rune]

heavys tds are actually not to troll if you use it as like 1 in the template and you put the super heavy tank cannon on it for pierce

[neat widget]

You don't need that much piercing

[woven rune]

fair

[inner mountain]

im looking for either armored infantry support or armored spearhead subdoctorine

they seem the best

[neat widget]

You'd be right, but I'm loading the game to see which one

[reef star]

armoured spearhead is generally good

[glacial steeple]

hi liv and others

[inner mountain]

but armored support gives 100% research for heavy tanks

[reef star]

personally I use tank destroyer force

[reef star]

1x only

[inner mountain]

for singleplayer?

[reef star]

I use mp strats for sp too, but you don't have to

[neat widget]

Hello Casey

Do you have an opinion on the question?

if you have heavy tanks base variant (so no spgs no tds) would you pick armored spearhead or armored support

I'm leaning towards the latter rn

[glacial steeple]

uuhh i was about to go sleep so idk whats happening

[glacial steeple]

uuuuuhhhh idk

you have enough break

[jagged hull]

Can anyone give me a good temple of infantry and tanks please I'm at war with Soviet and French commune

[reef star]

are you germany

german base inf template is good, just add support aa

[neat widget]

Yeah true

[reef star]

tanks do 8 medium tank 8 mech and 1 medium td if you can afford it

[reef star]

with supports assault engineer, medium flame tank, supply, aa

[neat widget]

Probably something like this

Or if under red air remove one mech and add two motorized AA

You should have enough piercing for singleplayer with howitzers and light tank recon

[reef star]

why hospital

[neat widget]

reduces experience loss

[glacial steeple]

i need a way to bring a dolphin with me when swimming in minecraft and i dont have a lead yet

[neat widget]

there are two solutions i've found

one is apparently combining a boat and a minecart and placing the dolphin in the minecart and then riding the boat

the other is creating a long tunnel for the dolphin to swim in and have it follow you

[glacial steeple]

whats the point of that

[neat widget]

yeah, oof

[glacial steeple]

i need to swim faster across a lot of ocean

[neat widget]

you can move the boat but the dolphin can only survive in the minecart for some reason

[glacial steeple]

i guess ill just have to find slimes..

well no the issue is that its like an earth map but without the americas

and i live on the world edge in fiji

its a very nice place i think but its very remote

so being able to zoom across to oceans with dolphins has been nice but not consistent/reliable

[neat widget]

Ah I see

What happens when you just swim near the dolphin, do you get dolphin's grace?

[glacial steeple]

yes

and i have depth strider 3

so that means its very fast

[half glade]

could i use inter war medium tanks throughout my whole game as germany

i wanna start making tank divs

[neat widget]

Yeah, cool, do you keep it when swimming for long periods

[neat widget]

For singleplayer I think so

[half glade]

Okay cool

[glacial steeple]

its normally a few seconds

[half glade]

I always wait to research med tanks

[glacial steeple]

but if i can travel with the dolphin that would help

[half glade]

But I fear that makes me fall behind

also, if i produce tanks, then change their weapons will the already produced ones change to?

whos the best here?

[sacred patrol]

whats like a small but fun country

[neat widget]

What focus do you need to do to get franz halder, because he's best here

[half glade]

its one of the mil ones

im quite far of it

[sacred patrol]

do you know any good infantry+truck template

[jagged hull]

I did but the Soviet has more defense

[jagged hull]

8 medium tank and 8 mech tank and medium TD ok

But I'm going to look around the battlefield to see if any of my allies are attacking Soviet union

[steel depot]

As italy in the allied invasion of 1943 will 60 divisions around Rome be enough to withstand the invasion🤔

[neat widget]

your base template has 330 def, it's more than enough

[jagged hull]

Ok listen what I put two rows of infantry and the three row artillery with a truck

[inner sparrow]

even for mp

[inner sparrow]

for tanks do the tank template in pinned

this kills any ai soviets

u can even add in more support companies

logi is good

[jagged hull]

I think I'm going to use yours bro

[inner sparrow]

don’t use tds in sp, its a waste theres no tank div in singleplayer that needs tds

[jagged hull]

I am going places with the medium tanks instead of TD

[inner sparrow]

arty as line arty?

[jagged hull]

And second off all how can I use navy

[neat widget]

something like that yeah

[jagged hull]

And air

[inner sparrow]

line arty is bad at pushing and a bit less bad at defending but also bad

[jagged hull]

Yes

[jagged hull]

Ah

But what do you want me to use for infantry

[inner sparrow]

pure infantry

[jagged hull]

Completely

[inner sparrow]

its better and cheaper

yes

[neat widget]

^

[jagged hull]

Damn ok what about trucks

[inner sparrow]

for defence use 16width pure inf with support arty, aa and whatever else u need

signals is good

[inner sparrow]

shit battalion, one of the worst in the game

never use trucks

[jagged hull]

Ok

I was thinking to use airborne troops

As well

[inner sparrow]

paratroopers are alright

[jagged hull]

But how do I use planes?

[neat widget]

You can reasonably use motorized, but certainly don't use motorized recon

[inner sparrow]

nah even motorized is bad

[neat widget]

Yeah that, but make sure to keep semblance of org

[jagged hull]

Guys I need help

[inner sparrow]

theres no case where u would rather use motorized instead of inf or cav

and u get mechanized so cheap and fast

[inner sparrow]

u deploy them and them give them a misson and right click them over an air zone

[jagged hull]

But how can I add them and it doesn't show where they be

After all my products for planes is a days

And others are days

[inner sparrow]

if they are newer ones prob replacing old already deployed ones

and if not click on an airport and there’s a symbol with a plane and a +

[jagged hull]

Ah ok

But how can I use the navy

Like the french commune are destroying the seas that I put on

All of them are submarine

Not mine

Subs are french commune

[neat widget]

eh, you could use motorized as better cav, like sure it's more expensive but especially when you're microing a lot of empty terrain it can be useful

but yeah mostly not useful

cavalry really sucks now because it suffers from not being buffed by most doctrines + no mastery from training

insanely painful

[half glade]

whats the best route here

spanish civil war is over

my economy is pretty good

mefo bills are gone

[sinful vessel]

I can't setup a paratrooper drop, could someone help me ?

[glacial steeple]

50 transport plane in airfield?

plane not on mission?

unit paradroppable?

tried different airport?

airport overstacked?

cant make plan with field marshal has to be general

[sinful vessel]

Can i have paratrooper and other thing in the same army ?

[glacial steeple]

yes

just dont select both while making the order

[pure sonnet]

How do I win a war against Hungary as Romania in 1937-1938?

[glacial steeple]

you start with a better army, just be sure the hungarians have no org to defend the river

and force attack if needed

[pure sonnet]

I used the trick of creating 1 battalion infantry units and then converting them to normal ones in order to have more men in the field to complete the balkans dominance focus btw

If that's relevant

[pure sonnet]

It's not working

[sinful vessel]

i may miss something. the game says : this order cant be done, you need 2 transport planes. I have 139 attached to the army.

[glacial steeple]

then delete those when at war

[pure sonnet]

I tried both manually moving my units and simply using the battleplan

[glacial steeple]

theyre dragging your army down

[glacial steeple]

dont attach them to anything

just have them sit in the airfield

[pure sonnet]

I'll try

[glacial steeple]

your units cant reinforce under the conditions youre giving

[sinful vessel]

they should have the red "!", right ?

[glacial steeple]

yeah thats fine

no orders

[sinful vessel]

well, still the same message 😕

[ornate gazelle]

Can you make a screenshot of what you see?

[pure sonnet]

Worked like a charm. Thank you. Have a nice day

[latent forum]

Never do the coal liquidisation or the establish the reichswerke, you get 10% more mefo bills per focus, so that results to 20%, never do those focuses.

[half glade]

i dont have mefo bills

[sinful vessel]

this ?

[ornate gazelle]

Your Hole screen

[sinful vessel]

or this

[latent forum]

The equilavent to mefo bills, they go up by 20% by doing those two focuses

[tepid umbra]

Can't you place those better

[ornate gazelle]

Noice. Do you have 100 transport on Aarhus airfield? And you need to have green air on the 3 air zones ( Denmark, sea, Norway)

[tepid umbra]

So you don't need naval dominance in the danish islands

[ornate gazelle]

I think it was around 70% dominance

[elfin crystal]

what is new german navy method after update?

or is it still the same

[ornate gazelle]

And ofcource your transportane need to have enough range😉

[ornate gazelle]

Still the same

[ornate gazelle]

Only need some spotting now. But that's not different from last

[elfin crystal]

whats that

[ornate gazelle]

It's harder to see where the ships are

But not that harder. If you do the same thing. You will be fine

[elfin crystal]

so i can just spam subs

[tepid umbra]

Not as germany

[elfin crystal]

so whad i do

i thought that was the old method

[glacial steeple]

its 45 planes per unit assigned to the order

initially 50

make more individual orders

[elfin crystal]

anyone know best fps mods for 1.17+

[grand iris]

What should i do?

I wanna cap some of these guys but idk how

earlier i was in coalition with soviets but they flipped so now they alone

I got more divisions coming

had a manpower problem earlier but now i have cored stuff so i have more guys coming

[tepid umbra]

Subs have sucked in the english channel for a while

[elfin crystal]

i dont go through the english channe;

[tepid umbra]

Why

[elfin crystal]

because its britain

i go north sea

then invade like hull

[tepid umbra]

Pretty sure it's easier now tho

Cuz they randomly remove naval sup

[elfin crystal]

what are best ships to build in general then

like general country

cuz if im not playing germany ibr i just build destroyers, heavy ships, and cruisers

[tepid umbra]

Uhh light cruisers i think

Idk the meta

[sleek remnant]

Hey I had few questions about mountaineers and rangers:
-which one is stronger? Mountaineers seem to have bigger buff on mountains but rangers seem to have stronger doctrine
-which continents to use which? I feel like always going mountaineers would be better since mountains are harder to push than forest but of course I could just be wrong
-optimal rangers doctrine seems left left and I guess depending on if you use other special forces, left or right. Is this correct?

[tepid umbra]

Do rangers get jungle buffs?

Otherwise stick with mountaineers iirc

[tepid umbra]

If they do it might be better for east asia

[sleek remnant]

You can choose a jungle buff in doctrine

[tepid umbra]

Then it might be good for east and south east asia

Regular inf is good too

And marines for islands

[grand iris]

Why my misssion efficiency is so low?

the planes are trained

[tepid umbra]

What do they look like

[grand iris]

dont have the dlc

[tepid umbra]

Are the bases overcapacitated

[tepid umbra]

Oh uh idk

Is it night

[grand iris]

or are they just bad

[tepid umbra]

Ain't that interwar

They might just be bad

[grand iris]

1940's

[tepid umbra]

Also do the bases have supply (pretty sure that's needed)

[tepid umbra]

Huh

Idk then

[tepid umbra]

Uhh

[grand iris]

would building radars help

[tepid umbra]

Can you try and make a variant

And are you using the right mio

[tepid umbra]

I mean yeah

But i dont think by much

[grand iris]

i dont have that dlc either

or the plane designer

[tepid umbra]

Yes you do

It's right there

[tepid umbra]

Variants are the free version

The little circle thing in the bottom roght of the plane bar

[grand iris]

see i dont have the mio or plane designer dlc

[tepid umbra]

Huh

Why does it say produce without an mio

Weird

[tepid umbra]

Also i meant variants as in the right thing

Maybe up the guns on that

[grand iris]

because i dont have the dlc where that comes

[tepid umbra]

Yeah?

And?

It says click to start producing, shift click to start without an mio

Must just be a dumb bug

[vernal stone]

why isnt the invasion starting?

[grand iris]

ok well now the mission efficiency has gone up

and got air supremacy in the eastern meditarenian

[scenic nacelle]

At war?

[vernal stone]

yes

[scenic nacelle]

Is navy patrolling?

[vernal stone]

wdym

[scenic nacelle]

Is ur navy patrolling that sea zone

[tepid umbra]

[vernal stone]

oh

no

[tepid umbra]

You need naval dominance to invade

That is gotten from patrolling (flat buff) or strike force (multiplier to said buff)

[vernal stone]

i have it

the usa basically have no navy rn

[vernal stone]

so what should i do @scenic nacelle

[tepid umbra]

Make it sp art

And if it's sp art swap radio for more guns

[grand iris]

why

i thought to use it as a tank

[tepid umbra]

Sp art is a type of tank

It's like imagine if tanks got all their important stats nerfed but their soft attack got buffed through the roof

[olive tapir]

I HAVE 60 MILLSSS ON INF

What does it want

[nocturne cloak]

holy shit

thats the worst country ive ever seen

you got no stab

= no fac output

[olive tapir]

oh shit yeah

[tepid umbra]

Fun fact

Rubber is needed to make a lot of things

Not guns ofc

But i'd reccomend not lacking 48 rubber

[distant rover]

why wont my army attack

even though

my troops are right next to albania

[olive tapir]

i took care of that

[tepid umbra]

Send an ss

[olive tapir]

[nocturne cloak]

youtube

[tepid umbra]

Oh yeah tutorial sucks

It's horrible

[nocturne cloak]

@tepid umbra hi cutie pie

[tepid umbra]

You're better off learning by watching yt of ppl playing and hovering over everything

[tepid umbra]

Hello

[nocturne cloak]

how many hours you got

[distant rover]

so how do I fix this sitaution

[tepid umbra]

Like 440 💔 💔 💔

[nocturne cloak]

start a new game

[tepid umbra]

✅

[tepid umbra]

I dont think you do tbh

[nocturne cloak]

wow...

ive got 50

[nocturne cloak]

Split units up

youre over cap on general

and frontline North and South

[tepid umbra]

Yes

[distant rover]

also how do you naval invade

and I lost somalia :/

[tepid umbra]

You're not ready for that yet

Figure out other things first

[distant rover]

I cant invade albania any other war

way

[tepid umbra]

Do yk how to use navy

And do you have marines

Or any divs to spare

[nocturne cloak]

...

focus tree

[distant rover]

ye

[distant rover]

im at war with em

[tepid umbra]

Get germ in the war

[nocturne cloak]

use your strongest divs and naval invade w them

[sonic wasp]

Is it advisable to combine rangers and mountaineers by playing them in a single division in South America? I’m playing as Peru.
Which main and secondary doctrines should I use?

[nocturne cloak]

you choose!

[distant rover]

im fried

[sonic wasp]

Mass assault go brr

[nocturne cloak]

Heavens........

[sonic wasp]

Well, I was considering GBP or MS; I don’t like having to struggle with combat width.

[distant rover]

yay I won a war

[plucky star]

Hi when playing hoi 4 no mater what time period or country my game will abruptly freeze for like 5 mins sometimes it will unfreeze. I can still hear the game running in the background. It’s weird as I’ve played this in the past on my same build with no problems. This randomly happens one year to 2 years in. (I posted this in the wrong channel on my original post xd)

[nocturne cloak]

buttttttt

battle planning is king

[sonic wasp]

really?

[nocturne cloak]

against AI

yk

just walk thru their countries

[sonic wasp]

And SFP? I always liked artillery in other games, but in HOI4 I saw that doctrine wasn’t efficient.

[nocturne cloak]

GBP, Draw a line, Wait, Press go, Walk through their countries

if you can afford alot of arti then SFP can work

might be better

[inner sparrow]

sfp is a good doctrine for infantry after doctrine changes

not for artillery, arty doesn’t matter

but sfp is more for defence, gbp for offense

sfp doesnt mean arty, theres non arty buffs on it that are more important and better

never use line arty

[nocturne cloak]

@inner sparrow whos a goodboy

[inner sparrow]

youre a israeli agent

https://tenor.com/view/cat-funny-gif-21458853

[nocturne cloak]

dms~

[inner sparrow]

idk who tf you are but shut ur noname ass up

[nocturne cloak]

is ur gf single?

[sonic wasp]

damm

[sonic wasp]

I was already looking ahead and planning to allocate more factories to producing artillery than rifles.

[inner sparrow]

yeah just produce guns instead, u can have 2 mils from gamestart on arty for support arty

support arty is good

[kind pewter]

What country r yall thinking for a heavy spg build

[tepid umbra]

What's sfp

[tepid umbra]

I've only tried germany with spgs but soviets'd prolly work well too

Why heavy tho

[inner sparrow]

superior firepower doctrine

[inner sparrow]

gives u more soft bc u can use bigger guns on it

not needed for sp

[tepid umbra]

Oh

[inner sparrow]

and u can also use 3 mgs instead of 2

so again more stats

overall heavy spg is better but its like a waste of ic

no need for it ever in singeplayer

[tepid umbra]

But then you have to go down anti tank path 😡

[inner sparrow]

no?

[kind pewter]

Already did mediums

Wanna try heavy howitzers

[inner sparrow]

u go down arty path for the arty gun for soft

not at

[tepid umbra]

Isn't heavy howitzer in there

[inner sparrow]

its on the arty

[kind pewter]

*super heavy

[inner sparrow]

at path gives u high velocity and heavy cannon

[tepid umbra]

I swear it was under anti tank

[inner sparrow]

no

[tepid umbra]

Maybe im tripping

[inner sparrow]

theres some cannons that are on two paths but heavy howy is only on arty

heavy cannon instead is on at and aa path

[olive tapir]

guys ive been trying to invaded the british for the passst 2 yearss

they have about 100 divisions defending their coaast line wwhat do i do

thesse maarines sometimes land

but they aalwwaayss enddd up dying with the resst of my aarmy

@tepid umbra

[tepid umbra]

amtracs

ig

maybe better air

[olive tapir]

how?

[tepid umbra]

wdym how

[olive tapir]

how do beaat this\

[languid trout]

if they have that much divisions, just use tanks or sp arty at that point

[tepid umbra]

amtracs prolly

[languid trout]

also

[tepid umbra]

that too

[languid trout]

heres a tip

invade hull from the port right above amsterdam

after that u only need to get supremacy in the north sea

[languid trout]

just get tank access

to make it easier

[olive tapir]

i dont knowwww hot build either of those

[languid trout]

u can also make ur div 14 marine bats

[tepid umbra]

???

[languid trout]

how

[tepid umbra]

you don't know how to press a button?

[languid trout]

how do u play hoi4 but not know how to make tanks??????

u have no step back right?

[olive tapir]

i dont know how to build sp tanks or good tanks i aalwaays user air

[languid trout]

(the dlc)

[tepid umbra]

read pins

[olive tapir]

yes

[olive tapir]

bro when i reaadd pins howww will i knowww which technology to research

and use

[tepid umbra]

the wiki

[trail topaz]

started playing yesterday, I have no idea how to get naval superioty for a naval invasion

Could anyone tell me?

[tepid umbra]

patrol gives naval superiority

strike force multiplies it

[trail topaz]

I started yesterday I have no idea what that means

[tepid umbra]

select your navy thing in the bottom right

then at the bottom middle select a fleet

then somewhere at the bottom there's a ship and some binoculars

that's patrol

there's also a ship with a crosshair

that's strike force

once you select the ones you want, right click the region

[trail topaz]

Yeah thank you my man

[slim timber]

it always works :3

[kind pewter]

Please show the submarines kind sir

[tepid umbra]

no guns midget submarines with nothing on them

[kind pewter]

I thought midget subs were ass

[tepid umbra]

yes that is the joke

[kind pewter]

Oh

[tepid umbra]

you can also see in the ss that there are no midget subs

[tepid umbra]

the joke is that it's the worst possible sub you could make

[kind pewter]

So whats the design?

[kind pewter]

Oh its just an endgame sub

Nothing crazy

[open lynx]

Did they not have screens tho or how does it work

[slim timber]

they shoot the screens to

[hollow wyvern]

I am kinda new to the game 100+ hours and I just now got my first ever actual win with Germany but i wonder how tf did Italy get soo much war score. In my Allies war i did all of the work killing Poland the Belenlux France and also got the air superiority and naval superiority while invading Britain without any Italian ships or planes and also killed Britain without Italy actually helping but they still had almost the same victory points in the peace treaty as me. I guess they did the usual fighting in N Africa but how much can that bring you.

[open lynx]

Casualties?

[kind pewter]

Holy text block

[open lynx]

Idk

[open lynx]

So how does screening work then

[slim timber]

they block the shots going to the capitals/carriers

[open lynx]

I see

[slim timber]

but they have little detection so cant shoot me

[open lynx]

And after you destroyed the screens the capital ships were free

[slim timber]

yup

[open lynx]

I see

It was a long battle then?

[slim timber]

ye

my sub fleet was smoll

[hollow wyvern]

Ok thanks i will check the casualties that might be it

[pastel tiger]

How much good 1936 light cruisers to destroy the brittish or us or any other sizable fleet?

[kind pewter]

Ur cooked

I think you can just get really high tech subs with anahoelic tiles

[open lynx]

cant you also spam torpedo attack destroyers if you have enough dockyards?

[slim timber]

sure u can spamm anything u like

[olive tapir]

are thesse fighterss not goodd anymore cuz my aairforce is getting a baeating

there ddying and the ratio is 15:2

[serene karma]

No efficiency

[kind pewter]

You have radar?

[serene karma]

Hover over the red circle in the top left of the photo

And ull see why

[olive tapir]

yesss one neaar normaandy

[serene karma]

What year is it

[olive tapir]

1944

[kind pewter]

A lil outdated

[serene karma]

Not the best but u should be winning against ai

[kind pewter]

Are you researching jet engines yet

[fluid wharf]

why are u on double engine

[fluid wharf]

and u are trading terrible because theres no oil in ur planes

what do u expect them to do

well supply but u get the idea

[olive tapir]

Bro i have no idea how to get them supply

[serene karma]

How uk

[fluid wharf]

actualli i misread

[serene karma]

They have supply

[fluid wharf]

its because u just assign to newe airzone

[serene karma]

Yea

[fluid wharf]

u need effi to build up

[serene karma]

Im sure ull trade fine

Just continue air battle and tell us how it goes

[serene karma]

Oh

Its a mix of everything

Slightly outdated planes

Slightly less effi

Less detection

[olive tapir]

bro..........

[serene karma]

Fewer planes

The detection ratio 💀

[olive tapir]

wwhat sshould i do

[serene karma]

Build radar

[olive tapir]

i haave radio 2 on them plus have like 4 raddadaar

[serene karma]

The radar needs to have range

[olive tapir]

should i build more?

[serene karma]

No

U need to research next radio tech

They dont have enough range rn

[serene karma]

All these btw

[vernal knoll]

what are radars used for?

[serene karma]

Increase detection value

And for navy spotting too

[vernal knoll]

ohh

[serene karma]

And allows u to see enemy divs behind frontline

[vernal knoll]

thats good bonuses

[olive tapir]

is this a good tank/

[tepid umbra]

for what

actually just no

whether it's mp or sp there's better options

[olive tapir]

can you help me out

i haave no ideaa wwwwhaat to use

[tepid umbra]

if you're in singleplayer

[olive tapir]

i reseaarchedd everything

[tepid umbra]

use medium tanks

[olive tapir]

i already reseaarchedd heavys

[tepid umbra]

wait is this for soviets right

[olive tapir]

im in sp

[tepid umbra]

or I mean soviets against britain

[olive tapir]

yess

[tepid umbra]

uhh

[olive tapir]

yes

[tepid umbra]

I think a default sp art build is fine

wait how many mils do you got

[olive tapir]

335

[tepid umbra]

only?

[olive tapir]

millitary

[tepid umbra]

how many can you use on tanks

are you willing to

[olive tapir]

100-150

im building more now as well

[open lynx]

How many civs

Just curious

[olive tapir]

361

[tepid umbra]

oh yeah use heavies

put a heavy

then either heavy howitzer or medium howitzer 2

[tepid umbra]

turret 3

[tepid umbra]

then add 3 heavy machine guns

and armor skirtss

then just upgrade armor and engine however much you want

[olive tapir]

is this good?

[open lynx]

Make it spg

[tepid umbra]

oh yeah that too

[tepid umbra]

when I said upgrade engine and armor however you wanted I meant the points

reliability over 100% is useless so js throw a few points in there

[olive tapir]

yeah i did just not in that screen

i did 5engine 5armour

[tepid umbra]

prolly fine then

for the actual division, have 10 sp art and 8 mechanized

[olive tapir]

howww do i build sp art?

[open lynx]

Its the tank

[olive tapir]

and good flme tnks

[open lynx]

You js made

Flame tank i usually js make a medium and strap a flamethrower and radio on it

[tepid umbra]

whatever flame tanks you want, assault engi, armored recon or recon rangers, signal co, and field hospital

iirc

[tepid umbra]

just get decent breakthrough

that's all you really need for it

[tepid umbra]

you see where it says heavy tank at the top

click the arrow and change it to artillery

[analog maple]

Guys how important are subs and carriers for taking the English channel

[serene karma]

As who

[analog maple]

Germany

[olive tapir]

is thiss a normal flaametaaank then?

@open lynx

[open lynx]

I would go for a medium

But im not the best at ts someone else probably better

[olive tapir]

i dont have it reseaarched

[open lynx]

For guidance
