Older player returning after quite some time here. The last time I played, there was a bug where if you had a spirit of the army and spirit of the navy that grant the 50% chance to increase a stat on level up, only the army one would work while the navy one did nothing. Has that been fixed since or should I still only pick one of these spirits?

I have been trying to play multiplayer with my friend but our bracket versions are different, he has f303 and I have 2b48. It looks like I am the one with the problem since most people have f303 but I don't know how to fix it. In the startup window, I also have the bracket version f303, but when I start the game, my bracket version changes. Would appreciate any help!

#

also very importantly, there's no such thing as a navy composition

dusty sandal
pliant condor
#

you always put every surface ship in one fleet, regardless of what you build

pliant condor
#

the question is only what ships you build

pliant condor
#

put them in one fleet

versed rose
#

if you have a question about surface fleet task force composition, the answer is doomstack

#

there is no reason to split them up unless you're convoy raiding maybe

Say, I have 200 surface ships and you tell me to put them on one group

dusty sandal
# vernal knoll is this like good?

basic rules of plane design :
1 - If you're not using all the thrust, you're doing something horribly wrong
2 - small airframe = 1 engine, medium = 2 engine. Period. If you don't respect that, then you're doing something horribly wrong
3 - Air attack, range and air defence are to be maxed out in this order
4 - Light fighters always win against heavy fighters, except in the pacific. Heavy fighters are a waste in singleplayer
5 - Agility and speed are useful but not primordial
6 - Heavy MG are the gun to use before you get canons 2 (1944 tech)
7 - Electronics are always a waste, except for strat bomber meme

dusty sandal
# analog ferry what could it be?

my guess would be a mod that's still enabled that one of you forgot (for the host has another version of the game) or one of you is on a beta/older version branch

As for the timeout it's either because you're loaded in and don't have hotjoin on (which from what you said shouldn't be the case) or you/your friend simply has bad internet/steam's having issues

# stuck garnet how do i send air vols

reef quiver
# lone sigil its easyer now

From one I’ve seen it’s extremely difficult to gain naval supremacy to the UK now with a small navy like Germany has

#

To the point every video about it suggests using paras instead now bc it’s “near impossible” apparently to do the OG strat as you can build supremacy in the channel for it?

lone sigil
reef quiver
#

Yeah that’s why I’m asking here about it bc I see some people say it’s still possible but some say it’s now impossible without plan Z levels of fleet build up (which admittedly with some Vichy france cheese might be doable?)

like theyre way better at light attack

obviously

but for torp they dont get more attack but are expensive

#

Is it better to assign each army to one small part of the front or should i assign all of them to the entire front?

tepid umbra

The trick is not focusing on the ships, but instead planes

I just do that and build a few light cruisers from the start of the game

Basically what it is saying is
If non-major, you need less than 70% stability and for the country to be at peace
If major, you need less than 50% stability and for the country to be at peace
Or if the cuontry has less than 35% stability, you can coup them regardless

But for all of these cases you need 20% or more support for the KPD

anyone want to explain to a noob why my units are nearly loosing even though I have a lot more of them and tanks?

neat widget
#

You don't have a lot of breakthrough, so their attacks are hitting harder

#

In addition, your tank stats for some reason are very low

#

Part of the root of this is low supply

#

At the same time if you de-org that first unit that can change things

how the hell are you supposed to win as Communist China if you play historic? after 1.17 somehow EVERY piece of land conquered, despite i literally pushed with tanks, still belonged to China. Also isn't Manchuria supposed to be PRC's?? You can't even infiltrate it
also every single warlord work with chiang kai-shek wtf
i literally have only one choice which is to join comintern
the hell is this design, it is way worse than RT56
freaking CHI has 350 divisions

I have no trade route/convoy ships to get oil to fuel my tanks too, this is ridiculous

is this a decent light tank design? i dont have much experience with this, so im just trying to balance its effectiveness with the cost

also got no clue what the best template is for light tanks, but thats a problem for later

u will still push them and win eventually bc ai is same

if mp is low ur just too low on conscription

#

or you lost it all from battleplanning with inf into the maginot

edgy mesa
inner sparrow
#

theres conscription law

#

next to your economic law

#

if you click onto your country where u assign high command and do all the stuff with political power, the one on the top left is conscription law

edgy mesa
inner sparrow
#

no

where yoo choose nearly all the political power stuff

edgy mesa
inner sparrow
edgy mesa
inner sparrow

yes

#

if u want more manpower u have to go up ok conscription

edgy mesa
stuck garnet
#

Is past service by requirement any good

stuck garnet
#

For lower resistance

edgy mesa
stuck garnet
#

Suppression doesnt lower resistance

edgy mesa
#

first time seeing resistance is a thing

stuck garnet
#

Every state needs suppression to be garrissoned

#

Id reccomend local police force

inner sparrow
#

if its already too late go local police

#

or harsh quota

inner sparrow
#

no mp isnt needed

#

just any cav division with nothing else so u don’t waste eq is the best

edgy mesa
inner sparrow
#

in theory full template with cav is the best

tepid umbra
inner sparrow
stuck garnet
#

Probs not the best but ehhh

tepid umbra
stuck garnet
#

Id reccomend full calv unless manpower or inf issues

#

Then add mps

inner sparrow
stuck garnet
#

"But if theyre struggling with inf equipment then why would they have support equipment on spare?"

#

Manpower is still good?

tepid umbra
#

If im spending 2 mils on the inf equip to garrison (underestimate) and im spending manpower

#

And i can swap thar for 1 on inf and 1 on support for less manpower

inner sparrow
#

if u struggle with inf eq and mp u have bigger problems than mp in your div

#

like hallooo

tepid umbra
#

Is that not a positive trade

inner sparrow
#

inf eq and mp is the easiest thing to have enough from

#

esp with new update

stuck garnet
#

Idk i was playing eaw but its probs different

#

Even with karl marx portrait i was struggling with my free griffonian territory run

#

So yeah only good for minor nations

stuck garnet
#

Id reccomend military police for minor nations

stuck garnet
edgy mesa
#

also everything of mine keeps getting sabotaged how do i fix that

inner sparrow
#

if u struggle with mp just click desp defence

#

instant 5% req

#

and u can even swap off it later and keep the mp if u bank it

inner sparrow
edgy mesa
inner sparrow
#

cant rn

edgy mesa
#

alr

inner sparrow
#

just make a garrison template with cav that hs any amount of pure cav in it

edgy mesa
inner sparrow
#

and change to local or harsh quota

#

harsh quota usually is best on facist countries if you have enough compliance

#

which u prob wont have so do local

edgy mesa
#

2 things idk if it was a mistake attacking here and i understand about 15% of what you say

tepid umbra

# edgy mesa

click here in occupied territories, change the division that you have on garisson to one that is a horse, change the garrison law to local police force

#

then go to your templates and make sure that horse division you choose, only has horses in them, nothing else

crystal fox

okay so 2 questions

neat widget
#

yes?

crystal fox
#

1st of all, what's the best layout for infantry or wtv (like how much artillery or lookout or whatever whatever you get what i mean 😁🤌✨) and 2nd of all IF, entirely theoretically, the third reich took Moscow, Stalingrad and the Finnish people took Leningrad, is there any way to save it

edgy mesa
#

idk what i did but is it normal for soviet union to go to war with uk?

wind cradle
#

my hoi4 launcher is cooked it keeps popping up with this message

crystal fox
tepid umbra
inner sparrow
#

and for the 2nd, yes even with 3 collabs (which ai never does) u wont cap and as long as you didnt build entire eco on the fronts this is still savable

#

especially against ai

tepid umbra
#

I mean you don't really need to push with inf

inner sparrow
#

arty is just more shit at pushing than defending

#

but gets outclased at both from pure inf

crystal fox
neat widget
#

yeah arty doesn't give that much defense

tepid umbra
inner sparrow
#

I do recommend playing majors, esp because you have a big eco

crystal fox
inner sparrow
#

and smaller eco countries are too punishing if you play bad

inner sparrow
crystal fox

its the easiest country for new player, inflated eco, inflated and best stats

I'd say it's one of the stronger ones

#

Esp earlier on

#

imo u just don’t play the game as minor, ppl that struggle to get divisions out as major will struggle even more as minors

tepid umbra
inner sparrow
#

if u lose to poland, production is always the issue

#

or one of them

#

u win with any starter template against ai if u have enough equipment for your divisions
