ask-for-help-here

[lone sigil]

what about the research bonus?

and flame tanks right?

[dusty sandal]

buy Arms Against Tyranny before BBA, way better, the plane designer is a new player nightmare too

[sacred patrol]

Does heavy become good with any dlcs

[dusty sandal]

those are locked behnd NSB dlc

[lone sigil]

oh ok

[dusty sandal]

they're only good in MP because they can have 3 secondary guns (more attack stats) and heavy guns
in singleplayer there's no point using anything but medium tanks (and light SPGs with no DLC)

[lone sigil]

nah i think its easy to learn

[lone sigil]

what about the howitzer gun they get?

[dusty sandal]

what about it ?

[sacred patrol]

But like

[dusty sandal]

no point

[sacred patrol]

What if I get no dlc tank facility

[dusty sandal]

you get it too late and you don't need it. plus you get worse terrain debuff and it cost way more than it should for 8sa more

[sacred patrol]

(the building to make unique stuff with scientists)

[lone sigil]

the 300% on heavy fighters

[dusty sandal]

you can basically just get military engineering vehicles which isn't really worth it in singleplayer

[lone sigil]

you can get support companies

[dusty sandal]

it's good enough but not required

[lone sigil]

alr

[sacred patrol]

Just asking if it's worth doing it

[dusty sandal]

and it's the only free special project for land warfare

[dusty sandal]

a whole facility for 1 sp isn't worth it

imo

[sacred patrol]

Wb for jets?

Since navy is too complex for my ass and nukes ain't gonna do much shit

[lone sigil]

watch one navy guide and its easy

[dusty sandal]

all you need is the 100% on "CAS" which you use to get modern fighter frame to use jet engines
then again, most MP games are over by 1942-3

[lone sigil]

alr

[sacred patrol]

So what research facility is like the best

[tacit bison]

Thanks advice.

• What is "spearheading"
• I know "Decisions" is a feature, but I don't know what it means, is that what you mean by picking air support bonus?
• how do you send divisions from home army to Ethiopia
• what do you mean by "keep pushing".

Apologies, I'm sure these are dumb questions.

[dusty sandal]

in vanilla ? you shouldn't do any but the nukes (if you want nukes, it ain't as good as it was)

[sacred patrol]

Planes and navy makes sense

Tanks maybe

But aren't nukes like ass rn?

Only killing 1 set of troops and doing no real land damage

[dusty sandal]

you don't get anything without the DLC with any of them

[dusty sandal]

they're alright but can get intercepted (raid failure) so they're less "press and have fun"

[sacred patrol]

With air don't you get access to jets in 1945

[lone sigil]

speatheads are prop useless there are just like aggresive battelplans decisons uh yea gives you stuff for political power you send the divions home with drawing a retreat line and keep pushing means to bash into the enemy

[sacred patrol]

I mean

Aren't jets strong as hell?

[dusty sandal]

you get them too late for them to matter

[sacred patrol]

What if I have a 50% reduction or 2 year penalty reduction

[lone sigil]

they are but not good range and the thrust is like the same

on jet engin 1

[sacred patrol]

So just not get any research facilities unless I just want to?

[lone sigil]

yes

[sacred patrol]

Kk

[lone sigil]

you dont realy need any

[sacred patrol]

May I ask about special forces

[dusty sandal]

you need the special project for jet engines which is locked behind rocket rtechs so you can only start in 1941 if you hard rush it day 1 + with bonus. It takes 2+ years (870 days by default), then you need to research the plane (150 days more)
that means by the earliest, with hard rush and full on focus on it you can only get it by 1943-4 which, by then, the game's basically over

[sacred patrol]

Bruv

Sticking to tier 3 planes I guess

So like, special forces

[lone sigil]

its looked behinf planes 3 tech i think

[dusty sandal]

and all that forsomething that's not even that good

only speed is good but that barely matters

[sacred patrol]

What do you think of special forces without dlc

[lone sigil]

worth

[dusty sandal]

they're not worth inf

at least inf gets good buffs from free doctrines

[lone sigil]

huh

[dusty sandal]

aand cost less

you basicallly only use marines with no DLC

[lone sigil]

you can use mountainers as cheap break through

for minor nations

[sacred patrol]

Wb paratroops and marines

[dusty sandal]

para are still useful though, forgot about them. They're just inf that can drop

[sacred patrol]

And marines?

[lone sigil]

marines if you have a navy

[sacred patrol]

So just mountaineers if there's mountains and paratroopers anytime I have a chance to drop in a good spot

I think this is like all for now, right?

Anything you could ig reccomend

[dusty sandal]

inf if there's mountains
run around it if possible

marines if landing is hard
paras if you want to

tanks (templates above) to push

[olive tapir]

what does it want?

[lone sigil]

heavy tanks if theres mountains

[sacred patrol]

Good joke

[lone sigil]

for them to be a integrated puppet

[dusty sandal]

it requires all your starting puppet to exist, and be either an integrated puppet or collab governement

[hasty belfry]

Does the ai react to you fielding larger or fewer numbers of tank divisions?

[olive tapir]

ohh

[sacred patrol]

Tanks in mountain is as good as 100 bombers Vs a nation with max anti air

[sacred patrol]

Would you play albania?

[dusty sandal]

no

[sacred patrol]

Austria?

[dusty sandal]

already did but wasn't much fun

[sacred patrol]

But like what was fun?

[dusty sandal]

the figuring out how to win against germany when it comes for me

[sacred patrol]

For me the resistance dlc really fun cus I finally started to understand it

[dusty sandal]

got the checz, poland, romania and hungary as puppets, called them all, watched germany declare on denmark and die to the allies then cored all of germany

[sacred patrol]

But for small nations is completely uselles if you're low on factorues

[lone sigil]

yes

[dusty sandal]

I basically only play MP and have been doing so for about a year

[lone sigil]

like if you want to beat the ussr as a minor nation u cant get collabs

[sacred patrol]

Is building civs a bad idea always

[lone sigil]

surviving a year with cav in tanks

[lone sigil]

no civ greed till 1940

to have 4 divs

when the sovies come

[sacred patrol]

Wb if I play something like Albania or any other small nation

[dusty sandal]

civs takes about 3 years to pay off
so unless you basically stop building civs about 2-3 years before war

[lone sigil]

what about early mils tho?

i mean as germany

civs arent wortg right

[dusty sandal]

germany doesn't build any (war in 39 and they get civs from others), japan doesn't build any because war in 37
allied minors build them until late 1937-jan 1938
allied/sov major build them until 1938 (jan for allied majors, up to mid-september for sov)

us doesn't build any because they build infra then mils

[glacial steeple]

its likeee 4 normally

if you look at MIC

[dusty sandal]

does he take into account construction buffs ?

[sacred patrol]

But why do people not like Albania

[lone sigil]

caus you get annexed

[glacial steeple]

i think so

[dusty sandal]

no focuses, no industry, no resources, no content, no manpower, bad starting position

[glacial steeple]

@young hill likes albania

[wintry matrix]

No formable nation for Albania and in the focus of Italian aggression.

[sacred patrol]

Join the axis

[glacial steeple]

ive played albania too

[glacial steeple]

nah just kill them

[sacred patrol]

Don't they have it by like 1937

[glacial steeple]

yeah

[sacred patrol]

And they could just do a naval invasion

[glacial steeple]

thats plenty of prep time

[sacred patrol]

Why did I think of paratroopers + joining a faction

[glacial steeple]

you can do that if you want

[sacred patrol]

Having some forts for the water

[glacial steeple]

i usually like to play with non cheese strats

forts suck

coatal forts are kind of okay?

but you need mils

[sacred patrol]

That's a cheese strat?

[glacial steeple]

yeah

[sacred patrol]

Just call in the British to do the job

[glacial steeple]

you can kill anyone with paras if you want

even players

[sacred patrol]

Or would the British disappoint me

[glacial steeple]

ai always disappoints

[lone sigil]

nah not if you got air

[sacred patrol]

Even if it's Germany?

[glacial steeple]

wdym even if its germany

[lone sigil]

if the rules allow

[glacial steeple]

the german ai sucks

its just the best vanilla ai

[sacred patrol]

When am playing a small ass nation it doesnt

[glacial steeple]

which is a nothingburger

[glacial steeple]

the vanilla ai is aggressive

given enough odds, small enough skill difference theyll win

[sacred patrol]

So am a bit in this theory

*bot

[glacial steeple]

youre not a bot thats just what vanilla ai is good at

they beat down fairly well

punching above their weight nah

[sacred patrol]

I mean, isnt my bets bet to simply let them get losses and defend, if it's way bigger nation

[glacial steeple]

no

thats how you lose

[sacred patrol]

Or should I just become technologically advanced quicker and rush em

[glacial steeple]

if you have a smaller manpower pool you should play somewhat aggressively

if against vanilla ai

kill as much as you can

defending is only out of necessity and usually temporary

if you dont attack while your eco + manpower is significantly lower youll lose

[sacred patrol]

Baltics Vs Germany is a necessity isn't it

[glacial steeple]

baltics have crazy eco

[sacred patrol]

It was the second I formed it

Then the soviets snooped in

[lone sigil]

nro they have like 10 mils and 10 civs

[sacred patrol]

Nah, way more

Total above 50

[glacial steeple]

you get like 40 civs or something when unified

[sacred patrol]

(that's how much I had I think)

[glacial steeple]

just unify ASAP

[sacred patrol]

The issue is

[glacial steeple]

ignore everything pointless

[sacred patrol]

I wanna play albanja

But that's a bad idea

[glacial steeple]

yeah then play it

its a fine idea

zog or communist?

[sacred patrol]

Ima die to Italians

[glacial steeple]

then learn to use your terrain and win

[sacred patrol]

Commy cus +400 mp weekly

[glacial steeple]

learn how to properly mobilize your resources in time

[glacial steeple]

400 is regardless

500 is from karl marx locked flipping communist

[sacred patrol]

Am in the phase where I understand shit a bit, but idk how to apply it

[sacred patrol]

It still is usefull

Rather than going fascism

[glacial steeple]

then you dont understand it 🤷

[sacred patrol]

Unless I join the grrmans

[glacial steeple]

its not bad

[lone sigil]

how many hours?

[glacial steeple]

most people dont understand the game

and it isnt about hours

[sacred patrol]

Hundred and bit

[lone sigil]

chill and lemme ask bro

[glacial steeple]

its just pointless

[sacred patrol]

Am still ass at the game anyway

[glacial steeple]

its the worst way of indicating skill

playing hours only make you micro better

[sacred patrol]

Also, are trucks just uselles in this game as a main army

[glacial steeple]

stuff like memorizing supply and terrains

[lone sigil]

no its not

[versed rose]

ive seen people with 2k hours think line arty was good

[lone sigil]

no get like 3 - 5 mils on them and motories supply

[sacred patrol]

Like imagine having a army where the main goal is to run over ofhers

[versed rose]

hours is a horrible indication of understanding

[glacial steeple]

ac template in pinned

[sacred patrol]

Thanks

Ig ima play a bit later

[glacial steeple]

important things to learn

[sacred patrol]

Stats and idk the first one

[lone sigil]

watch the one guy on youtube

[glacial steeple]

reinforce rate, combat modifiers, production modifiers

thats half the game

possibly more than half

[sacred patrol]

Then am half stupid and half idiot

[lone sigil]

wait lemme search

[glacial steeple]

segl?

[lone sigil]

he also but the guy that plays against sheep ai

and has like 3 vids

[sacred patrol]

Btw do you do multiplayer

It would be like interesting to try multiplayer

[glacial steeple]

rarely

[lone sigil]

teefeeraw

thid guy

[sacred patrol]

Kk

[lone sigil]

TeefeeRaw

[lone sigil]

go watch em

he explains a lot about production and meta

usefull knowleage id say

[sacred patrol]

So wth are space marines

[lone sigil]

basicly there is heavy and soft damage you put a tank into inf and it takes less soft damage and cant be pierced

but its i think outdated

[tribal fox]

Is the UK able to guarantee below 25% world tension now? Just had it guarantee Sweden in a Germany run when I had only caused tension with a justification on Sweden, Rhineland, and volunteers to Italy...it was most disappointing.

[remote pine]

Hello! New to the game here. Play a couple of game and I’m absolutely fumbling about. I mostly play Sweden, any recommendations for playing the country? (Usually go monarchist route)

[full nest]

what should I change

[lone sigil]

all medium tanks

also military engenier things

no arty

[full nest]

Remove all light tanks?

[lone sigil]

swich them with mediums

[full nest]

And replace?

ok

[lone sigil]

you want a medium flame tank and a assult vehicle as support

[full nest]

The engineer company?

[lone sigil]

no the special porject

[full nest]

…are those dlc ones?…

[lone sigil]

flame yes the engineer vehicles not

[full nest]

What dlc is the flame tank

[lone sigil]

no step back

[full nest]

Oh

[lone sigil]

you dont have?

[full nest]

I only got arms of tyranny, la resistance, and that one that gives focuses to south american countries

[full nest]

Nope

[lone sigil]

bruh

[full nest]

Im broke vro

🫩

[lone sigil]

yea but aat and the south arent as importait

as no stepp back and

blood alomne

[bleak plinth]

is this good enough land as mughal or should i restart

[wind creek]

i need some advice,as Germany should i annex all european territory and puppet overseas? i defeated the allies in 1939

[rain yew]

How the hell am I supposed to defend from the Soviets

[full nest]

@lone sigil ay sorry to bother u again but uh anything I should do with the infantry one?

[lone sigil]

if you do tanks you dont need to do any chances

[vital geode]

Usually you want to split your army into stacks of 24

[lone sigil]

its just inf to defend and hold

[vital geode]

and give them a field marshal

[vital geode]

Support AA is your friend

[rain yew]

What’s a field marshal

[lone sigil]

if he has no air

[vital geode]

Support AA is anti tank as well

Might as well have it

[lone sigil]

i mean

more supply use and less org

[vital geode]

Why shouldn't you have it

not by a lot

also supply is hardly an issue

[lone sigil]

also you need to build it

[vital geode]

oh no, 3 military factories

[full nest]

Naw coz most of my army still infantry

[vital geode]

maybe 5

[full nest]

I dont have that much tanks

[lone sigil]

its fine if you have a lot of equipment just bash into the enemy

[full nest]

Ok

[lone sigil]

he will need to refit all his inf and with 3 mil its gonna be finished 1945

[full nest]

Time to jump Brazil through the amazon rainforest… this will be fun, surely 💀

[lone sigil]

better not look at lost euqipment to atrition

[full nest]

Dw I have a big ass slurpus

[lone sigil]

the lion doasnt care about supply and attrion anyways

[worn juniper]

Is very worth

[cobalt robin]

okay thanks

and 1 more question

[worn juniper]

dont use artillery support ive heard its not very good

[lone sigil]

line arty?

i mean if you dont do tanks you can but make sure to pick the right docktrine

[worn juniper]

do yk how to set up mps? im tryna do one w my boy and we dont know how to make it work

[cobalt robin]

i f'ing hate this UK im naval invading it and when it lands i send my air there and just try to do something im getting dover and portsmouth supplys and all of a sudden they push me like they equipped supersonic jets behind them

[lone sigil]

its cheaper way for stats but eats up suppply should use it its better than line

[cobalt robin]

tried naval invading Hull and next to hulls tiles too

[worn juniper]

fr?

[cobalt robin]

same

[lone sigil]

yes

[cobalt robin]

are these tanks good or bad too btw?

[lone sigil]

remove the arty and the anti are also do you got mech?

[cobalt robin]

not yet

[lone sigil]

alr

[cobalt robin]

but main problem is this

[lone sigil]

land with marine tanks

[cobalt robin]

marine tanks?

[cobalt robin]

i land with this one btw

and I've got supply

in UK with it

[lone sigil]

als for support comapnies do light tank recoon and stack breakthrough put the arty out and get a military assult thing in there and get a medium flame tank same with recon

[lone sigil]

there is tech for this but if they push you tanks out

i mean

they must havem like 40 divs per tile to push theses out

[cobalt robin]

the tank is not the problem

like my infantry lands on UK and gets pushed

[lone sigil]

oh

show you inf template

[cobalt robin]

this

[lone sigil]

dawng

this shouldnt get pushed

how is the air?

[cobalt robin]

green

[lone sigil]

do you have cas?

[cobalt robin]

yes

[lone sigil]

bro

[cobalt robin]

this is happening for the 5th time btw

[lone sigil]

than i cant help

[cobalt robin]

so thats like 10 hours of my life wasted on invading UK lmao

[lone sigil]

that must be some super uk churchill

[cobalt robin]

yeah lmao

or my planes are just not enough

here is the last photo of my planes after dying

maybe you find problem here..

[lone sigil]

show the design

of ur planes

also you got cas but no fighters

[cobalt robin]

CAS

[lone sigil]

wtf

[cobalt robin]

1K

[lone sigil]

alr bro

[cobalt robin]

i've sent them to netherlands

atm

but when i land

[lone sigil]

this cas sucks

[cobalt robin]

i send to UK

yes help me

[lone sigil]

you all heavy or small bomb looks

[worn juniper]

can sm1 help with setting up an mp with my friend

[cobalt robin]

[lone sigil]

add one more machine gun

[cobalt robin]

heavy?

[lone sigil]

ye

[cobalt robin]

done

can you help me with CAS?

cuz internet templates are like outdated and shit

[lone sigil]

uh i cant screenshot

[cobalt robin]

did that cas by myself

and fighter too

[lone sigil]

you got yt open?

watch the air guid

form segl

[rigid grail]

with the naval changes is it still 4 screens per capital ship?

[cobalt robin]

yeah also the naval changes are just too hard for me lol it was easier before

[stuck garnet]

uhh

show the secondary stuff

[cobalt robin]

wdym

[stuck garnet]

at the bottom

[cobalt robin]

and 1 engine 3

[stuck garnet]

the stuff at the bottom

you gotta add self sealing

and some armor

your air defense is bad

[cobalt robin]

maybe its because of air

[cobalt robin]

what do you recommend me to get better at air design

like youtube,websites

[stuck garnet]

just put stuff for air defense at the bottom 😭

ask casey

they probably know better than i do

like

you need that

[cobalt robin]

both for fighter and cas?

[stuck garnet]

cas is debatable

if you're running cas then you shouldn't have to worry about air defense too much unless there's anti air or you're using cas wrong (using it in areas with fighters)

[glacial steeple]

huh

[glacial steeple]

segl

good channel

short videos

[cobalt robin]

Okay Thanks @lone sigil @stuck garnet and @glacial steeple

[neat widget]

Yes

[open radish]

@glacial steeple @neat widget can any of you guys help me with tank design? Pls

[idle arch]

What support do u need in a tank template again (I don't have NCNS)

[serene karma]

Check pins

Make spgs

[serene karma]

Do u have all other dlcs

[idle arch]

Yes

[serene karma]

Medium flame
Ass eng
Fh
Logi
Pioneer

[idle arch]

Ass eng???
Fh??

Pioneer??

Please explain

[serene karma]

Assault engineer

U need to do the special project for it

Fh is field hospital

[idle arch]

Ok no special project support

[serene karma]

Pioneer is the special forces doctrine support company

[idle arch]

And no pioneer

[serene karma]

??

Why

[idle arch]

I kinda forgot to build research facilities

[scenic nacelle]

That’s like 3/5ths gone then

Lots of buffs gone too

[bleak plinth]

guys im doing the mughal raj war (the second one after the ceasefire) is there an automatic peace deal?

[scenic salmon]

Question, do you run both normal tanks and artillery tank templates together or one over another?

I see the template for artillery tanks in the pins, but wasnt sure if normal tank divisions are run along side them, saw the artillery get a -40% breakthrough when assigned that design

[bleak plinth]

is there not an automatic peace deal? <@&916727971820240976>

[neat widget]

No

You have to capitulate Britain

But you should be able to just rush them down in the first civil war

[dusty sandal]

you just have to get enough breakthrough on the SPG
if you have 30 or more on your SPG then you'll be fine

[scenic salmon]

okay thx

[sterile wave]

why dont i see super heavy aritlery and stornghold networks in special projects

[lone sigil]

no dlc?

[sterile wave]

i have no step back

[lone sigil]

do you have gotterdammerung

[stuck flint]

i just watched an 1 hour and 45 minute video on the guide to germany

i believe i can take the uk out in 1939 now

[sterile wave]

no

[lone sigil]

than tahts the problem i belive

[sterile wave]

but im pretty sure i saw yestrday in special projects super heavy aritlery

[lone sigil]

lol

its super heavy railwailgun maby?

[sterile wave]

no aritlery

i have for railway gun

[scenic salmon]

what stats should I aim for for tanks and for spgs? i only play singleplayer

[lone sigil]

soft attack

[dusty sandal]

you want at least 200-250 HP
around 30 org
between 350-500 breakthrough (with doctrines), above doesn't serve much purpose as you'll almost never encounter AI divisions with more stats than that
then you want as much soft atk as you can

[scenic salmon]

okay thx

[empty latch]

Why did my exiled government status as Netherlands just disappeare?

Is this a glitch

[dusty sandal]

did you retake your homeland ?

[empty latch]

No

[dusty sandal]

did you get kicked out of the faction ?

[empty latch]

No mayor event happened acept maybe me closing my laptop and opening it after a long time

[empty latch]

Nope

[dusty sandal]

any mods ?

[empty latch]

R56

Fps and peace conference

[dusty sandal]

well their discord is most probably the place to ask then

rt56 changes way too much

[wind creek]

.

[foggy rune]

I really don't understand why supply has to be so important. like how is it that I can have 120 divisions attacking 5 and lose because I don't have supplies

[glacial steeple]

i dont think so idk

unless ur like fast

[foggy rune]

like I'm on civilian difficulty with a buffed Japan and I still can't even beat Manchuria because of supplies

I build railways and supply hubs but it tells me I have a naval bottleneck and I cannot find how to fix it

it's making me want to quit the game

[dusty sandal]

well, without bullets your troops cannot beat an enemy that has can they ?
if your troops are starving, they can't run to attack

seriously what kind of question is this

[foggy rune]

just a frustrated one

[dusty sandal]

just don't stack more than 5 divs on a tile and you'll be fine

stay close to supply hubs and don't mash your head against a wall if it doesn't work. Remember the "definition" of insanity
if something's not working, try another way

[foggy rune]

from someone who's having a hard time understanding the game, and trying to find answers, only for most threads I got to look for them in to be people saying "oh [blank] is so easy, if you can't figure that out just delete the game"

what about when the enemy has 18 divisions on one tile with no supply issues?

[dusty sandal]

that's because they're on a supply hubs or that their divs are absolute dogshit

basically

[foggy rune]

so how do I take that tile?

[dusty sandal]

but even dogshit bottow of the barrel div can hold an insane div with no supply

[austere roost]

no, breakthrough is not needed in sp above a certain point

[sand ember]

win enough so that you take the tile before they can reinforce the battle

[austere roost]

and if you want breakthrough you make tds instead of tanks

[sand ember]

you have it opposite ?

[dusty sandal]

supply your troops is the first step and make sure they're equipped and have org + have a template made for attack to be able to push

[austere roost]

no, tds get more buffs so you make tds instead of tanks when you feel your division is lacking in breakthrough

[sand ember]

tds have a massive breakthrough malus que

[austere roost]

but since it's sp i doubt you need a lot of breakthrough

even with the malus the breakthrough is enough

[sand ember]

ok but you get more breakthrough with normal tanks

[austere roost]

breakthrough is a useless stat once you have enough of it, which is why old mw doctrine was a useless doctrine

[foggy rune]

I appreciate your help, thanks for being patient I'm just getting really frustrated and being a bit dumb because of it. I've tried playing democratic Japan like 12 times and this is the first time I've even made it past the civil war and I had to cheese that just to get past it. this game is so complicated

[mortal flame]

How to change your political style, i mean i want to change from dacism to something else

[austere roost]

can you try posting your divisions and battle screens? we don't really know what's going on

[dusty sandal]

it's a bit outdated but will do the job just fine for what you need right now

I'm also gonna copy-paste a comment I make for every player that ask for advice :
"Best advice I can give to any new player is READ. See something you don't get ? Read the tooltip. See a red bubble ? Ask yourself why, click on it and read the tooltip. See a popup ? Adress it, don't let it hang around, it's there for a reason. See a red icon that seems weird ? Hover over it and read what it says, it's probably nothing good. You get the point

That's what will make you get better. Don't just look at a mess and start malding. If something's not working, then you're doing something wrong and pausing + reading will almost certainly tell you why. Rince and repeat until you understand and start to learn, and you will learn if you read the tooltips"

[foggy rune]

yeah in this case I got frustrated because my supply says it has a naval bottleneck and I couldn't find an explanation anywhere including online

[austere roost]

do you have enough convoys

your capital as japan is tokyo so all supply to other parts of the world require convoys

[foggy rune]

my logistics screen says I have a surplus of 356

[austere roost]

does it say 100% supply on the top?

that means you have enough trains, trucks, and convoys for current logistic systems

[dusty sandal]

we've all been there, you just have to ake your time, don't rush things out. It's ok to struggle or get frustrated but if this happens, just take a break or start on another, perhaps easier country

Good starter ones are Germany or soviets (watch basic guide for soviet focuses) or USA. Stick to historical behaviour and don't manually justify. Only do war through focuses and the wargoal you get.
You can also pla with minor nations such as canada and hungary

[dusty sandal]

they had 100+ divs on one tile, that's why

[foggy rune]

yes it says I have 100%

[austere roost]

if you're at full logistics and still have supply issues then you'll need to upgrade your logistic system

[foggy rune]

that was in a different spot and I fixed it before I came here

[austere roost]

anyways again you should at least give us screenshots of your divisions and battle screens

[foggy rune]

ok one sec

I doubled the infantry count on the division template but I don't know how to upate existing divisions

[dusty sandal]

you have too many big divs on a single tile too far away from supply hubs basically

[dusty sandal]

it's done automatically and visibly has been done

[foggy rune]

how do I see how many units are actively in a div?

[dusty sandal]

so, let me run you through some basics

[mortal flame]

Can someone help me with this?'

[austere roost]

you open your division template in the template editor, which is located in the same screen where you recruit divisions

[austere roost]

100% means you have enough trains, trucks, convoys for the existing logistics infrastructure, but your infrastructure is not enough to support all the divisions on the frontline. you need to improve your railroads and the ports that handle the logistics transfers

[foggy rune]

I know how many are in the template, but in the template the division has 190 soft attack, and even my fully supplied divisions have 80, so I think they haven't updated their manpower

[austere roost]

also you can naval invade manchuko to open a second front

[foggy rune]

I tried that and I got kicked out because I had no supplies

[austere roost]

they're half equipped

you need to invade a port

like all your troops are half equipped so they begin with half the stats

[foggy rune]

half equipped with what? like inf equipment?

[dusty sandal]

The yellow circle shows you the condition of your troops. The green bar represent organisation, if it reaches 0, your troops lose the combat and stop attacking/retreat if attacked. The orange bar shows strenght which means the equipment and the manpower in that division. If the orange bar's full, the division is fully manned and equipped and has all the stats it's supposed to have. If it isn't at 100%, the stats will decrease accordingly to what's lacking (manpower affects HP and the rest is from equipment)

You can see the details in the green cricle

Now if you want to attack, make sure that you only use divisions with at bare minimum 80% strenght AND full manpower, except if the enemy is non-existant or less equipped han you are

[foggy rune]

ah ok so I need to fill my arty

[austere roost]

also undermanned

you need to stop the offensive and wait for manpower to recover

[foggy rune]

oh ok

[pliant condor]

don't swap template like this

or like template is not the correct place to look at

people say use whatever but it's really not important

you want fully equipped and fully trained division

[austere roost]

also change the click on the horse button in the field marshal tag and change it to three trucks so you use maximum amount of trucks to supply your army

[dusty sandal]

The red circle, now, shows the motorization status of your army. The higher the motorization, the higher the supply range and capacity per tile. there are 3 levels : none (base range and capacity), partial (slight buff) and total (big buff). Each level consumes a quantity of trucks accordingly

[austere roost]

like basically everything is wrong here

[pliant condor]

also stop building supply hub on the frontline

build a port on the coast and connect it with railway

and motorize your supply

[foggy rune]

I already have half progress on the hub should I still cancel it?

[pliant condor]

yes

still cheaper to build a port

[austere roost]

revert to a save before you started buildign the hub

[pliant condor]

before you change the template ideally

[foggy rune]

I'll see if I have one

[pliant condor]

don't ever change template like this

you lose all veterancy

just use one template and deploy division in the field whenever you have equipment

[austere roost]

in the construction tab you can hover over a project to check how much cost the building is

[dusty sandal]

In this situation you basically have to stop all offensives and wait for the oraange bar to fill up, produce trucks and motorize your supply lines (red circle, click on it once to swap to partial, twice to swap to total, three times to go back to normal).
then once it's done, you can attack again, and don't forget your airforce

[foggy rune]

I do have full air dominance, I learned that lesson the hard way as germany in russia lol

[dusty sandal]

that's good !

well, not the learned the hard way part, but you get my point

[foggy rune]

assigned all my air force to the army and did not realise I actually had to give them directives to gain air superiority, so they were just sitting in the airfield drinking coffee lol

[pliant condor]

don't assign

move it yourself

[foggy rune]

is there a big difference?

cause that's a lot of micro

[austere roost]

it's not

[pliant condor]

pause the game and micro

easy

it's just a bad habit

[austere roost]

ai might send your planes to an airport that exceeds capacity

[pliant condor]

could work sometimes

[foggy rune]

ah ok

I sometimes get overwhelmed and forget either naval or air force entirely so I will work on it haha

[austere roost]

like you get 5k planes running by barb, it's not overwhelming since you just select 1k fighters to fly over belarus or something

[pliant condor]

pause and don't play on 5 speed

[mortal flame]

Does anybody know how to change my country from a facist one into a different type?

[austere roost]

or just be like me and build 120 36 width spaa divisions and ignore air and wait for motherships

[foggy rune]

it's less the game speed and more just that there's so much to do that I end up forgetting something

[austere roost]

you'll get more used to it when you play more games

[foggy rune]

I get the feeling democratic Japan was not an easy choice lol

[austere roost]

tbh any nation that needs a lot of navy is not a beginner friendly nation

except usa maybe since you can beat every other navy just with your beginning navy and uk does a lot of the dirty work for you before you enter ww2

[foggy rune]

I feel like I'm so late to start taking territory so by the time Germany starts the war I'm still in Manchuria

[foggy rune]

depends on your country, check your focus tree for different political paths

[mortal flame]

can i change if I have italy?

[austere roost]

you might have already picked the fascist path

other paths get locked out once you stick with mussolini

[foggy rune]

I haven't played Italy but I imagine so

[austere roost]

it depends on the ethiopian war

[mortal flame]

i ended wthiopian war on a peace treaty

[austere roost]

was it the fast victory or slow victory option?

[mortal flame]

i don't know, but i lost lot of soldiers so i guess slow

[austere roost]

might want to start a new game and check the focus tree to see the conditions of going democratic/communist

[foggy rune]

alright I think I've made the decision to try a different nation and attempt to put what I've learned here into practice regarding supply, any recommendations on a good nation to learn with?

[austere roost]

maybe try usa

watch a guide on how to fix the great depression and get out of isolationism asap, and then the game is easy mode

you have 130 civs to begin with, a navy good enough for late game, and 5 years to prepare for war

[foggy rune]

ok I'll give it a try, I might be back to ask more questions later but for now thanks for all your help! I'm glad this resource is here so I don't pull my hair out lol

[vernal knoll]

guys do you think hoi5 will even come out?

[pliant condor]

play hist japan

kill china

[regal marlin]

It won't let me clear my user directory, can someone help me fix that?

[maiden cobalt]

Does anyone know why on earth this happens?

there is literally nothing else i can do to increase my contribution by the looks of it

only 1938 on historical

i searched it up and i cant find any solutions

it just keeps going down every few days it goes down by about a hundred each month

[cerulean otter]

hows this

[inner sparrow]

shit

[cerulean otter]

rip

[inner sparrow]

line arty is bad pushing

bit better for defending but still not that great

just do pure inf and if u have enough eco tanks with mechs

[inner sparrow]

straight up remove arty add a few spgs and some break support companies and this diff becomes good

[vital geode]

Is lend lease being an issue?

[maiden cobalt]

nobody is lend leasing anyone, we arent at war yet

[vital geode]

Why did you put non mobile arty with the mobile units

[vital geode]

I have absolutely no clue then

[maiden cobalt]

neither

[inner sparrow]

non mobile arty is also bad but true

[vital geode]

I know that

[inner sparrow]

using mechs without tanks in singleplayer is questionable tbh

[vital geode]

But even then, you'd have speed

[inner sparrow]

yeah

[vital geode]

Actually not the worst

[maiden cobalt]

does nothing else affect contributions

[vital geode]

Mobile cavalry subdoctrine, mobile inf subdoctrine, and others actually really buff mech

[inner sparrow]

mech is great but pure mech is good for defending and not pushing

[vital geode]

The speed is insane too

[inner sparrow]

and you don’t need defence

[vital geode]

Me with 3000 CAS

It can push

[maiden cobalt]

because it would be the supporting scientists because they get a ridiculous amount of contribution for some reason but there arent any facilities assinged yet

[inner sparrow]

but any mech div that is 10/8 0r even less tanks is fine

[vital geode]

And take minimal casualties

[inner sparrow]

16w inf can push aswell with that amount of cas

nearly anything can infact push vs ai with cas

[vital geode]

But can they push and go 20 km/h?

[inner sparrow]

no but I can make it 5 speed and feel as if they are

[nocturne cloak]

remove arti and anti air

[vital geode]

I overran an entire Soviet army by battleplanning lol

[inner sparrow]

normal, sov ai get speed blitzed by anything with stockpile and air

barb front is soviet speed run simulator

[vital geode]

Yeah, but they literally disappeared

Because I overran them

[inner sparrow]

overrunning is fun vs ai yeah

u can do funny armored car builds or fast light tanks for it

[vital geode]

I actually did

[cerulean otter]

thats actually a solid question

[vital geode]

Mobile warfare UK gives fun speed buffs

They also have the armored car designer, but it isnt the greatest

And I speced entirely for speed

[inner sparrow]

I think ger had a good one for armored cars

[vital geode]

But do they have the +15% division speed guy

[inner sparrow]

u do from military advisor

[vital geode]

Really?

[inner sparrow]

idk how much tho

[vital geode]

I thought Germany only had a 10% one

[inner sparrow]

maybe its only 10

[vital geode]

UK has Alan Brooke for 15% division speed

And it's peak

[inner sparrow]

yeah

[maiden cobalt]

yo unrelated again but im trying everything i can but my contribution to my own faction still wont go up

its at -1300 contribution now and im only giving it 875

so im getting no contribution

and im at 0% influence still

[tepid umbra]

remove any research facilities from the faction

and start giving manpower

[maiden cobalt]

there arent any facilities

but ill give manpower

wait i cant even give manpower unless they request rigjt

[maiden cobalt]

i cant give manpower unless they ask

[tepid umbra]

no

you can

you contribute to the manpower

and they can take it whenever they want

[maiden cobalt]

how do i do that

there is no option to add manpower to the faction

[tepid umbra]

cuz you don't have the section unlocked 💔

[maiden cobalt]

damn 🥀

what section is it

[tepid umbra]

the army section

[maiden cobalt]

the military one

ah i see i see

thank you

[tepid umbra]

go to the pie chart and try and find yourself

and hover over it

it might tell you why your contribution went down

[maiden cobalt]

the faction needs 60 more diva to unlock

[maiden cobalt]

ok i will but its 0% so i prolly wont find

[tepid umbra]

does lend leasing even change it

I thought it didn't

[vital geode]

It effects war score

So I thought it could apply with contribution

[tepid umbra]

isn't war score a seperate category

iirc contribution is the stuff directly in the faction menu

[vital geode]

Maybe, idk

I dont fully understand the new system

[junior light]

do yall know how to use nukes, i have them researched and i got all the reactor and that stuff done, as well as that i also have air superiority and i have nukes and strategic bombers, but whenever i look at a video showing how, they have a nuke option whenever they click on a province, but i dont have a button. Any solutions?

[vital flax]

is a raid

look at the bottom left panel for raids and you will see a nuke option

[junior light]

oh

i see

thanks

[sonic wasp]

basic medium tank for flametank or improved?

[vital flax]

bottom right panel, my mistake, I had the same problem, looking in a province like before, but is an option in the bottom right panel, related to raids

[junior light]

yea i found it thanks

[trail reef]

does diplomatic pressure help with focus demands?

[maiden cobalt]

yeah I figured it out as soon as ww2 started my war score and lend leases shot me back up to first

[leaden jay]

a few of my divisions are stuck here what do i do?

[native gorge]

Guys does the "having overseas borders with UK makes them put a lot less troops on the mainland" trick still work?

[edgy mesa]

why am i loosing this i got more divisions

[nocturne cloak]

Delete frontlines, hold shift then make a field marshal frontline order, wait for planning to max out and assign air

then press go!

[edgy mesa]

i have a field marshall frontline order

[nocturne cloak]

Assign all your divs to it

Cause there are only 17 on it

half of your army isnt attacking

[edgy mesa]

i did that and wdym by max planning, just wait?

[nocturne cloak]

Yeah look at your divs and there should be a bar filling up

thats just planning

wait till its full then go

[edgy mesa]

the green or orange/red?

[nocturne cloak]

The second line to the right of their level

[edgy mesa]

okay i see but they are destroying me while its planning

[nocturne cloak]

If you have more divisions just let them push

they will stop when taking large loses

you can always push back without planning

but its just better with planning

[edgy mesa]

it doesnt feel like they are stopping

[nocturne cloak]

press go

there are emtpy tiles

your troops will push back

[edgy mesa]

does this matter?

[nocturne cloak]

If you want

You can reload a save

Draw one simple field marshal frontline

get the planning then attack

its okay to lose!

[edgy mesa]

iamma try to let it run

[edgy mesa]

hm

[nocturne cloak]

bro.

they arent even covering the full frontline...

[edgy mesa]

mine or the axis

[nocturne cloak]

them

okay wait

look @edgy mesa

Those yellow exclamation marks means they arent assigned to an order

You arent setting up the frontline properly!

[edgy mesa]

they are on a order

[edgy mesa]

i took the option "frontline"

[nocturne cloak]

Yk the field marshal

Select him

And hold shift

Whilst holding shift

Place his frontline order

[edgy mesa]

i just deleted his order and did it while holding shift i lost but ill try again

[edgy mesa]

somehow i corrupted i keep crashing

[nocturne cloak]

brev

[edgy mesa]

okay so when the civil war starts
have field marshall
Make a frontline while holding shift
make a attackline while holding shift?
press go when they are prepared
?

[nocturne cloak]

You dont need to hold shift whilst doing an attackline

[edgy mesa]

looking better

[nocturne cloak]

There!

You finally got it!

Good job!

[edgy mesa]

tho i may have forgot bout air reinforcement so well see if i let it be, that i loose the war

[nocturne cloak]

But

You learned alot from this simple war!

Thats all that matters

[edgy mesa]

mostly by you thx

[edgy mesa]

True

also now that they almost reached the line do i delete the order or just make a new one

[nocturne cloak]

You dont have too if you are still winning

You can if you wish

[edgy mesa]

aight

[edgy mesa]

🔥

[nocturne cloak]

Thats all you bro!

🔥

[edgy mesa]

i won but until new war do i just let them train?

[daring ivy]

I see in many walk throughs the YouTuber manufactures a civil war. Why does this make sense?

[stone pollen]

Hoping someone can explain what I'm doing wrong. I'm trying to naval invade Estonia. Naval invasion is planned and main fleet is set to strike force or naval invasion support but it refuses to fire. Any ideas what I need to do differently?

[languid trout]

spearheading is the one beside the offensive line button

its the one that uses 2 arrows

[languid trout]

when u get the "christmas offensive" event with mussolinis portrait on it, pick the one that is not "we need to take a more careful approach"

[languid trout]

u assign divisions from the home army to the ethiopian armies

select the divisions

and then right click the army u want to put it into

[languid trout]

keep attacking the ethiopian divisions

id be surprised if u dont know how to do that

[edgy mesa]

do i need a dlc to eliminate mossulini?

[harsh galleon]

I'm having trouble invading the USSR as Germany, I know I'm doing something wrong but I'm not sure what it is. Can someone help me

[stuck garnet]

Can i give advice?

Build railroads🙏

Please

In general

Not talking to you

Im talking to whoever will listen frfr

[edgy mesa]

i have bout 10 hours in this game, thank you for this advice

[stuck garnet]

Supply is everything

I was on eaw

[stuck garnet]

Uhhh

Not what i meant

Like

Its good to prepare beforehand

But if youre in a combat

And your divisions are not being supplird

Just build a lvl 1 railroad

[edgy mesa]

iam not in war

[stuck garnet]

Hows your tanks?

How is their river lines?

[harsh galleon]

does this mean that all the railroads between the supply hub and my capital should be a high level, Will this increase the bandwidth of my supply hubs?

[harsh galleon]

these are my tanks

[stuck garnet]

You probably wont need max level railroads unless you spam tank divisions

[stuck garnet]

Mech pls

No mots

Mots = no stats

No hardness

Also spgs

Med flame tanks are better too

No mot recons

[edgy mesa]

iam new is this a good division to keep?

[harsh galleon]

mech is expensive for me at the moment, Will mots work. I was told that SPG's don't give breakthrough or something like that

[stuck garnet]

Armored recons if youre going cannons and not howietzers

[stuck garnet]

Sp?

Even then slap on a radio youll be find

Fine*

Why the hell do you need support arty

Add a hospital

[stuck garnet]

Why the hell are you producing tanks then

If you can produce mediums, you can produce mechanized

Also

Just reduce the cost via mios and upgrades to mech

[harsh galleon]

so replacing the mot with mech will make the template "good" to use against the USSR

[harsh galleon]

I was told it was cheap and gave good damage

[stuck garnet]

You can try amtracks but i wouldnt reccomend if mech is too expensive for you

Also youre playing as the german reich

How many facs you got

[sweet summit]

What

[harsh galleon]

Yes i am Germany i have 337 factories, When I say mech is too expensive I mean I haven't made any up until now and i would have to make hundreds to replace the mots i have in my tanks

~170 mil ~170 civ

[daring onyx]

I am in the process of the learning the game( just purchased off Steam). What are the most important DLC's to buy for a new player? I appreciate any help!

[primal igloo]

My first 30 mins of playing the game. Is there no way to change the number of civilian factories working on each construction besides changing the order? And why is 15 the max? As in how is that number derived/can it change?

[left glacier]

15 is the maximum number of civilians factories that are used per construction. Consumer goods factory factor also allocates civilian factories for producing goods which can change depending on national spirits and your mobilization law

[primal igloo]

15 is the maximum number of civilians factories that are used per construction

So just a constant maximum the whole game for every country?

[left glacier]

Correct

[rapid umbra]

what are the best infantry templates?

especially for playing as a small country

i play a lot as hungary to form austria hungary and i have a lot of problems when i have to defend against germany and italy and i think its because my units are really bad

[left glacier]

16-20 width + support companies (engineer, artillery, anti air) is usually minimum for holding/defensive infantry

Offensive infantry like your special forces go for higher combat width

Like these ones for example

[rapid umbra]

so 14/4 and 7/2 are no longer good?

[left glacier]

I believe 7/2 is still good for minors. Not too sure about 14/4 with the latest version of the game

Does pair well with fire concentration arty-SD

[daring onyx]

Are their dedicated Youtubers to HOI IV?

[rapid umbra]

oh alr ty man

how abouyt tanks?

[primal igloo]

I'm watching FlyingDutchy's long series from 3 months ago rn

[daring onyx]

Thank you!

[left glacier]

Our beginners guide were made in collaboration with a few hoi4 youtubers

[daring onyx]

You are a saint! Thank you!

[tepid umbra]

not entirely hoi4 but there are ones who do mainly hoi4 and other strategy games

[quick forum]

Isnt 14/4 like a meme div?

[daring onyx]

Thank you! Very complex game. The sale made me want to get it now, though I wanted to play it for a long while

[tepid umbra]

i'd reccomend watching aldrahill, he's who really got me back interested in the game, and he's how I learned a lot of good strategies

I also learned a lot of good strategies here

[daring onyx]

Subscribed! Much appreciated!

Have a good evening everyone! Thank you for the help!

[rapid umbra]

i udnno i always saw bittersteel use it

[fossil rain]

how do I use this in my only infantry army

i am going superior firepower anyway

and I wanna use arty

[tepid umbra]

you don't

I mean if you really want to you can put it on but it's quite expensive

[lyric geyser]

I would recommend Bokoen

[glacial steeple]

they havent been for years and even then were ehh

[glacial steeple]

by producing them ideally

[glacial steeple]

its like 1 per division

[tepid umbra]

I did not know that cuz I never make them lol

do the benefits outweigh the costs tho

[glacial steeple]

i think its 3 actually

[glacial steeple]

yes the doctrine for them also gives terrain buffs

and is rlly good

at the cost of what anyway?

using your mils?

[tepid umbra]

org and using your mils

[glacial steeple]

its a support company youll be fine

[left glacier]

@glacial steeple A curious thought. I've started noticing that some hoi4 youtubers have started splitting off their screens on patrol missions from their main strike force, mainly destroyers for sea zone naval dominance. Do you think that is something viable or would you rather keep your destroyers in a strike force death stack?

[fossil rain]

I have the factories and the the resources

[glacial steeple]

the whole issues is naval battles being lobsided as heck

once you start losing ships you lose pretty badly

splitting your fleet up makes that much more likely to happen + they wont insta join battle

[daring jay]

this might seem like a dumb question but how do you "analyze" your build and their performance? i mean what stuff do you look at. for example if i build a panzer division template. how do i analyze how good the template is, where i might be going wrong with the design be it the tank design itself or the template design

[tepid umbra]

combat width, soft attack, breakthrough, and armor for tanks iirc mostly

and for mp hard attack and breakthrough

[daring jay]

about combat width, do you mostly use the "meta average" width for inf and tanks or do you create special divisions to fight in special terrains?

[tepid umbra]

I usually just do 18/36 width for infantry and 36 for tanks

but that's cuz im lazy

it depends on how you wanna play

[daring jay]

ahh got it. thanks

[cerulean otter]

I finally took france after 200 hours, then lost cuz italy couldnt hold the line

[narrow grail]

Why facilities consume supply?

[winged panther]

Wdym why 😭 . They just do

[sweet summit]

Hallo

Uh ive taken over British burma during the princely bs

Do I get to keep it ?

[narrow grail]

No

[sweet summit]

.. shit

100 days left and I'm wondering or not to naval invade British malaya

[narrow grail]

Why?

What is Malaya gonna do to you?

[neat widget]

In general 7/2 and 14/4 aren't good

As a minor you do like three things first

[sweet summit]

Uh i dunno
Prolly nothing

[sweet summit]

What's 7/2

[neat widget]

Max out your conscription law, take the desperate defense doctrine, and add things like hospitals or individual excellence logistics

[narrow grail]

7 infantry 2 line artillery batallions

[sweet summit]

Oh yeah I use 12/2

[neat widget]

And only then you start adding artillery

[sweet summit]

Wait I can go up to 12/4 ?🥀

[neat widget]

12 * 2 + 4 * 3, okay that's permissible that's 36

14 * 2 + 4 * 3 = 40, so you'd struggle in forests

[sweet summit]

Uh some of my generals have 72 space

Why is that

[neat widget]

Are you on a garrison order

[sweet summit]

Yeah defensive one

Area defense of coastline

[neat widget]

Yeah that's the reason

[sweet summit]

They keep coming for Gujarat

[sweet summit]

Oh💀

[narrow grail]

That much to be it a factor for special project research speed?

[neat widget]

Yes

[sweet summit]

Do I even bother defending British burma ?

They just landed there

[neat widget]

In singleplayer yes

[narrow grail]

I think it's easier than allowing them move so they don't have a chance to take some east India provinces from you on a peace deal

[sweet summit]

I sent 2 mountaineer division 🥀

[neat widget]

Which country is this?

[sweet summit]

Gotcha

[sweet summit]

British Raj

[neat widget]

Ah I see

[sweet summit]

Well British burma

[neat widget]

Where are your armies

[sweet summit]

Coastline defense

I'm fighting the allies in 37 🥀

[narrow grail]

You still can't fulfill Mughal uprising?

[sweet summit]

Oh i did

But I accidentally saved over the last one

[neat widget]

Ah I see

If you got all the way to Burma

Then I don't see why you need to even be at war with the Allies

[sweet summit]

Because the stupid thing requires 260 days of war

I have like 30 left 🥀

[narrow grail]

Raj dares to call them

Ah I see, what does the map look like right now

[narrow grail]

even though it's basically a civil war

Do you control all of India or do you not own a state

[sweet summit]

All of it and burma

[neat widget]

So you have Burma, then yeah just defend all your points and coastal VPs

[sweet summit]

I might annex burma using cheats if I don't get it in the negotiations 🥀
This shi is not fair

[neat widget]

2 divs per port and coastal VP should be fine

Yeah it's a lot of micro over a vast space

Just make sure not to lose a state

[sweet summit]

I've put like 10 each

Cuz I somehow have 3m manpower

[neat widget]

You have the equipment?

[sweet summit]

.4% of my core population

[sweet summit]

Uhh a bit of a deficit

[neat widget]

Ah I see

Cool

[sweet summit]

5k

[neat widget]

Yeah you should live

Do you have a screenshot btw

[sweet summit]

Wait I'll share

[neat widget]

Oh that's amazing

You're in a good place rn

Also cape comorin is a key area

So place two divs on the Kochin VP

And 2 on Madras

If you lose one of those VPs you lose the entire south
