Ah great
I built more supply hubs near it and supply utilization got even worse..
I've just put my entire army on Afghanistan now..
Can't wait to blast em
Good luck
Also did you win
I exactly prevented that. Not a single unit in Santiago province.
Yeah 🥀
Lost burma though
You dont get it on peace deal
Grrr
grrrrrr
also strange
trains
you probably just dont have enough trains
Anyone playing albania
I played it in vanilla
too boring 0 content besides fighting Italy, the only fun thing
I mean, maybe they would add a focus tree in the future
Ooh
Maybe it's time for Albania world conquest
guys is there any way to merge puppets? I accidentally balkanized Spain (they all my puppets)
You could annex em by making them very low status
should i use Mods in hoi4 sp?
You can try base game first and then gradually use more expansive mods
alr
What are penalties here?
how much breakthrough is good for breaking through forts
idk how to fix it
im new to the game can someone help me learn it
hello
head over to Helping lounge 2
ok ill be there inna sec let me finish this round inn the game im in
alr
Maybe its the friends we made along the way.

How so
how did uk guarantee turkey independence with only 16 war tensions?
is it post jan 1939?
huh
@formal saffron hello
they always guarantee turkey no matter war tension apaprently
no they dont last game they didnt
is it iron mode or nah?
yes
Demons
They are taking them
or maybe creatures from the shadow realm
Why is my nuclear strike getting canceled every single time?
I have a full wing of regular/level 3 strat bombers, a nuke and they just do nothing
Are you trying to launch them from air base access air bases
if anyone could maybe help me in helping lounge 1 then join
I found out what was the problem: in event choosing between 10% research on nuke or +1 free nuke I took one without finishing the project, which is requirement to execute nuclear strikes thus I couldn't.
lol
Understandable
Btw you should never take that one, the other lets you unlock them faster
With the 10% research
Well, I didn't know
Well now you do
they dont show up on the casualties
Yeah russia's an ass 🥀
365k dead but 98 divs
My front line's kinda collapsing so i restructured it
the generals bunos applies less and less
wait are you plaing as?
British raj left path
Got afganistan and sikiang
And then Soviets had a civil war in 38, joined it
It's July 1939 and we are still fighting
lol
I should use tanks
And the SSR could've taken moscow but they're just not doing it
I've literally traversed almost all of central russia 🥀
they grinding ahhh
They're like 2 tiles away 😭
It cannot be that hard
I somehow have 60% war participation 🥀

Yeah just panzer them
or bash with your army
Unless you're fighting britain 🥀
here
yh and they just joint the allies
the soviets?
yh 😭
I checked the internet forums for it but I can't seem to find an actually good guide for navy. Most of them yap about production costs and stuff. Can anyone recommend a good navy guide?
Meta navy works in both mp and single player ships you build are Cruisers with max light attack, Carriers with max space, super heavy battleships and if your building a fleet from scratch build destroyers and try to have a ratio of 4 destroyers per cruiser
For combat have your entire fleet but subs in 1 stack have it on always engage and never repair
after the peace conference can i see how many people i killed, how many ships i sunk etc?
Is world conquest possible if I have just the resistance
hello. Can I core the german empire as the united provinces when they are my puppet? youyour, the wilheminism path? Because I think I heard something like this?
I have a question i want to start a naval invasion from argentinia to portugal but i dont have any dominance in the regions. How do i change that?
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?
TFB doesnt work for me it crashes my game talking abt map defition error
currently i'm playing nationalist spain and i've sent like 40 divisions to the germans to assist on the soviet front, would i get the war effort percentage for that or would the germans?
should i build any ships as Estonia?
Currently playing germany with historical AI focuses off. For some reason, on Apr. 22nd 1939, the USR just instantly annexes my ukraine puppet, totally encircling my offensive. Is this the result of some sort of focus for the USR?
How do paratroopers work?
select your paratroopers, right click on airfield to use for take off, left click for destination
you will need green air for that operation
about 80 transport planes will be needed for a drop, depending on divisdion seize
how do imake it so my usa divisions dont collapse as soon as they hit combat?
look taht your orga is not that low
more inf in your divs
but those with the crossed rifles arent bad, you got them from start
what templates are good for defending against germany as the Beneloux Federation?
there's this weird bug in my and my friend's save where if i try to get whitepeace of germany with netherlands and switch countries to do so, the game crashes the next time i try to switch the country i'm playing as (i also need to whitepeace ethiopia as italy)
Ships you sunk yes you can click on a sea zone then there’s a button by it
and there’s also a menu for casualties somewhere but I don’t remember where it is
Is it better to use canons or machine guns for fighters?
The canons have more air attack
heavy machine guns
you need anti air an engeener also i would try and get field hospital
<@&846892247651057716>
org was tanked, but i had 20w infantry with supp. arty, eng, and logi, so i dont understand why
mods, send him to the trenches
I was told I can find Red Baron guides somewhere on HOI4 Discord. Is this the right Discord ?
You want to join the redbaron discord
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!
Where would I find the link to it? I assume you cant post it here
Why are they not airdropping?
lol, no
You need supremacy above the sea too.
You need to be at war to invade land
And technically above the airfield.
Well this explains the issue
lack of enemy supremacy allows drop too
For a minor country like Sweden can I just build infantry & Air. Do I need tanks?
no you dont but if you going high on cas try an do like 30 with inf
Is 35/36 okay for an offensive inf? Also do I need to upgrade to motorized or mech or leave it as pure inf?
guys yall got any tips for invading usa i defeated the allies before usa could join
im playing as germany
Thanks but I what I asked for was an internet link to a comprehensive navy guide, not a paragraph of vague information about what stats I should focus on.
1 you’re rude 2 what I said was a simplified guide to navy if you can’t understand the very basics of what I said you’ll struggle with the mechanics 3 there’s a good navy guide in the format of a video by Segl and Machivellientstrategist
35-6 is the most polyvalent template you'll have (35 better than 36 in most cases but hard to get in sp)
you should never use motorized to begin with except for funny speed memes. Motorized is overpriced inf (2.5x the cost, not accounting for fuel and rubber for basically same stats but speed). Use cav/camels until you can get mech which is very good
btw, the destroyer part is plain wrong
DDs are basically useless and you should never build any but escorts (if you don't know how to deal with subs with planes/can't do so). Otherwise, just build light cruisers only. They're screens anyway, they don't need other light ships.
In singleplayer just spamming light cruisers with armor and light attack is also enough, no need for capitals
by guide do you want a template or mission/how to use guide ?
1 I appreciated your effort in trying to help me 2 Your answer wasn't what I asked for
Destroyers are needed for screening once you lose them your entire fleet dies
Just say that then instead of being stuck up or rude
light cruisers do the screening
DD are just here to take hits for others or kill subs (if you don't have planes)
Atleast from my testing destroyers are needed a navy without destroyers gets obliterated in 2 seconds while the same fleet with them doesn’t
No like there are so many guides on steam forums but most of them don't give you good designs or task force compositions etc. If there is a navy guide either a text based one or a youtube video (text preferred) it would be very nice of you to share it
let's set this straight :
Capitals require screening ships^to prevent torp hits and keep their crit
DDs and Light cruisers are screening ship
Light cruisers are good while DDs suck
hence you only need light cruisers so you only build light cruisers
That's why you build roach destroyers thats the main reason
no, that's not why
Segl did a good video explaining just about everything
gimme a sec
literally pinned in this very channel
roach destroyers are a waste of ic, you make armored CLs for screen or you are griefing
or larping
Today we'll discuss the entire HOI4 naval meta, enjoy!
My Discord: https://discord.gg/gEPGs8ZnWz
See you can just say that and not "focus on light attack on cruisers" and expect me to appreciate it as if its a navy guide
I said segl as well but you ignored me
roach DDs used to be a thing in mp but were never good since a single light atk cruiser will melt through dozens of them like butter
Thank you so much I wish you a very nice day. @pliant condor you too
you’re still being rude af
Oh it's not good anymore?
never was tbf
I said task force
you always put every surface ship in one fleet, regardless of what you build
What if I want carriers?
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
unfortunately, contrary to what big paradox wants you to believe, hoi4 navy is still, at its core, a doomstack-wins mechanic
Say, I have 200 surface ships and you tell me to put them on one group
I legit said the same thing bro what is this 😭
I think the worst part is that they could add a coordination stat just like in land warfare to balance this
I never knew that! So its like Eu4 combat mentality you just put 120k men on one army and wipe the enemy
well, eu4 is more complicated than that but yes, essentially
Thanks a lot guys
can i ask modding questions here
sure but it'll probably get drowned in other questions before it gets answered
there is one
just doesn't work as strongly as intended
i would add an extra infantory
So basically either stick with pure inf until mech or cav with anti tank?
pretty sure stability_weekly is not an effect
it's a modifier
I meant a coordination for ships concentrating damage on one ship. not the overhaul debuff they give
ships do prioritize targets with lower health
no
missing core support AA
missing hospital
recon is useless at best
combat width must either be 16-8w, 24w if you're on a budget for offensive divs or 35-6w
but there's so many ships that the effect is minimal
bruh
so minimal I never saw it happen clearly lmao
and I'm a navy lover
what you need to do is to make the decision to add a national spirit containing the said modifiers
you can't directly use them as an effect
that could work
firstmost : AT in singleplayer is absultely useless. bottom of the barrel
then, you either use inf or use tanks with cav instead of mot until you can replace said cav with mech
im new and got no clue what my army stuff is
I trust you, I meant I never realized that even though I look at naval battles as much as I can becausee I love navy
Hearts of Iron IV can seem complex and sometimes overwhelming, but today @hammotimee will guide you through the basic concepts that will rank you up from Cadet to General in no time!

help pls
natonal spirit blocking you or mod issue
also, you must adress this red number or you'll stall very quickly
also if you ever make mechnized, make sure to fully cheapen the equipment(with 5 cost clicks) then it only cost 4 instead of 8 IC per piece
im not playing a mod, and oh thanks
and idt theres any such nationalist spirit
OHHH its the faction rule
What’s good support to go with inf or Mech? Apart from the usual like logistic, AA and Arty
Oh and hospital
I take recon is not that useful?
it is
can anyone recommend a good tank and infantry template i dont have any dlcs
inf template for defending or for attacking?
attacking
inf is no good for attack alone
logistic is fine but can be replaced
don't forget engineers
and if they're going to attack put a medium flame tank with maxed out breakthrough in the tank designer
ogh yes, engineers!
How am I supposed to push when I literally dont have the troops or equpiment to fill the frontlines 😭
i only got one panzer division with rommel in it
no dlc tanks
thanks
build more troops to push then
yoo whats that weird tank with gun aiming up
in earlier stage, let them come and run at your walls...
i dont have tank designer bro
the leftmost tanks are light SPGs
you'll get them by researching the explosion tech you can find on the light tank card in the research tree
after a few month you can walk through butter
uh whats explosion tech is it from the land facility thing?
a good strat is either don't build tanks or build budget build tanks
build mils day 1
don't build inf too big
no, open the research
go into tanks
on the light tanks research card (light tank 2 for example) there are 3 icons, click on the explosion and research it
should take ~80 days and you can get it day 1 as germany or france iirc
is this like good?
can u maybe send an image if possible i cant find it
no
how i make a good fighter
thanks
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
Are the first canons that bad? Or are they just not worth the ic?
This is base no dlc right?
the ratio is bad, so not worth the IC
the first canons are ok for very early plane design
if you need to make a 1936 fighter you put :
2x canon 1, x4 light mg
1x engine 2, x1 light MG turret, range MIO
yes
this gets outdated by the time you reach mid-late 1937 and get heavy MG
manpower ?
yes
who are you playing as
then it's a no issue
ended the, before usa came
focus tree and laws
which part of fcous tree?
don't go up to total mobilization (or do the women in the workforce decision), go up to extensive and you'll have way more manpower than you'll need
i did extensive
my man power stuck around 200k
yep did that
yea
barely moves
like a few hundred up
even ones
did you build exessivly?
i did use field hospitals
hover over it
is there anything said about mobilizing ?
also change your garrison law to local police force/secret police
i got 10 generals with all 24 divisions
local police
aha
sorry my lights are out actually
cant use pc
240 divs with what width?
The basic 3 in 3 rows
i dont know what width would that be
ok, round about 24k, something like that
basically when you change a law, manpower takes time to arrive
it will be shown when you hover over it
i did extensive conscription in 1940 and its 1942
9x2 = 18
it's more 20 if they have support companies
yes, but you see yourself
5184000
5 million
so you ask where your mp is?
5 million are there
they are in the fields im talking about reserve
is it decreasing maybe due to reinforcements?
alright thank you much
don't make heavy fighter
yea i understood that but i dont know how make light ones
it automaticly become heavy
you created as med
light airframe + single engine = light fighter
or with two engines?
if you use multiple engine or medium airframe it's a heavy fighter
yeah thought you were replying to my above emssage
basically roughly how good a plane is is proportional to air attack * air defense / cost^2(if we only look at those stats), so if your heaavy figthter is twice as expensive, it needs to have 4 times the stats to compensate(which it doesn't)
300% research bonus as us and in situation wherer you airbase caped`?
usa is because you have 20% cost reduction from focus
yes, as in the pacifics, there they are useful
which makes them not bad per IC
cool buff, still a waste (can be argued about for MP but not for SP)
and in a way in terms of IC they are more expensive, but in manpower?
sad economy moment
😂 running out of manpower from fielding the planes
thank you all
alr didnt new it was about sp
not but realy you need max 100k for a big airforce in sp
What is the point of artillery tanks? And should I use them?
lot of soft attack
Oh, okay.
you only make spg
assuming you have dlc
use them in singleplayer
Alright that's all I play anyways.
I need help connecting in MP with a friend
can someone join helping 1?
I'll wait until confirmation before entering
what's the issue ? "Host has another version of the game" ?
it says ''conection time out''
is he already able to manage stuff in the country he's in ?
is the host already loaded in ? able to look at research and stuff ?
can you go to helping 1?
I am the host
like
not even begun the game
any mods on your part or your friend's ?
who is the best ?
HMG
base game, I got al the dlc's and he got none
large canons are worthless
the first
oh alr
that's not an issue
what could it be?
LMG basically useless since you have HMG
large cannons are worthless
alr thank you
How do I get howitzers for my tanks?
are large better than lmg
i wonder
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
arty tech
👍
no, they weight and cost too much for the increase in stats
ok for heavy fighters ig
at the end of his game version it says (s) and mine don't, may that be the issue?
the checksum must be exactly the same, yes
and why is his different?
either one of you has mods still enabled, is using another version of the game
you should also verify the game files integrity
mine is: Musketeer v1.17.3.0.3a95 (f303) and his is Musketeer v1.17.3.0.3a95 (f303) (s)
the only real change is the final S
but the problem isn't ''another version of the game'', it say ''connection time out''
Heyo, sorry to ask this when its probably asked dozens or hundreds of times. How do you make "space marines"?
you put tank with big armor stat into ifnantry division
boom, you got spacemarines
Thanks!
Is it worth to make loads of space marine for attacking?
is there a problem if a friend plays hoi on the steam deck and I on pc???
Yes and no. In late year they get pierced by most of enemies. You can do it in early years most of the time
if you do space marines you should do no other template
What’s the strategy for sealion now with the navy changes in NCNS (aside from using paratroopers instead of marines)?
Is it even possible without paras now and if so how would a newbie like me do it reliably?
the ai is worse so you dont neeed a big navy to sea lion
its easyer now
how do i send air vols
click on air wing and then the should be a box on the nation you want to (beside an airport) that should show like 0/2 and than you send you airwing doasnt work if you have a to mall airforce
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?
huh they allways spiltt the navy up
no idea
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?)
Trying to also see if there are any updated guides for Germany
whats the meta for navy cuz im not tryna learn all this bs
for mp or singleplayer?
singleplayer
do max lightattack lightcruiser
so just spam light cruisers?
ye
aa battleship, maxed lightcruisers, and shit destroyers
got it
ill try it next time
why cruisers with torp
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?
I've literally never struggled to get supremacy in the english channel with very slight buildup
The trick is not focusing on the ships, but instead planes
So naval bomber/cas spam?
That's what i do
I just do that and build a few light cruisers from the start of the game
And the uk crumbles
Ohlol light cruiser spam still hasn’t been fixed?
Also since Germany has the funny pocket battleships would spamming those be any better?
I ned help with spain can some won help me
No lol
Idk
I'm playing as France in 38, i've taken part in the Spanish civil war, i've also had my own civil war, but i'm not in war any more. Though i have few divisions.
I have taken the "Petite Entente" path, so war could knock at the door very soon. Would you have some advice before being nuked my Germany ?
how do i deal with the kurdish rebels as turkey?? my rng is trash
i guess hold
Dont attack unless youre 80% sure you will push
Build heavies i heard they were good for defense
Ok. Things will start now, Germany just declare war against Czech.
is by blood alone worth?
Italy ethiopia tree
Plane designer (strict meta)
Plane builder
Unit medals
i got the tank, navy, and spy dlcs already
i love this ^^
so ig thats the next one
Do you also get more peace conference decisions?
I dont use
i think you can take navies if you buy the dlc
i shouldn't, but i love looking at my divisions at the end, and the the medals ^^
But czech are at war, but don't call me, any idea why ?
absolutly
Oh they just did
Anyone know some good plane design that can crush the ai ? I can handle the ic cost i just want to wreck the ai as bad as I can
Check pins
I did that already but is thats as good as it gets?
You can try advanced medium frame or supersonic jet fighters
is it normal that my admiral gets +11 attack
But typically the game is decided by that point
Pretty normal, but rolls over 10 attack do nothing
any heavy tank template?
for multiplayer or singleplayer
single, ik theyre ass but why not
Playing as poland what inf template should I use for the fronts with russia and germany
And doctrine
umm, is there any or
8/0 with aa and arty, large unit tactics, so grand assault and mobile recon
Tank doctrine doesn't matter for this
Oh grand doctrine sfp
Ty
What id grand assault?
Operations?
Operations doctrine, the one that gives u planning
Ye
@neat widget sorry to ping but theres none?
Anti tank needed?
Nah
If you're going large unit tactics you probably want a larger division
Oh right
If u get the doctrine that reduces your width, add 2 inf to the template for 17w
an 8/0 with large unit tactics has a combat width of 13.6, which means that they can suffer from stacking penalties in plains or urban terrain
Precisely
Oh badboy
thanks, but i also kinda need the division design if you have one
alr wtf
what do i do when i land in uk
and they constantly bash into me
they hove 180 divions
i just lost 48 div
32 withs
this is unplayable
They have 180 divisions on Britain?
Just on the island itself?!
Can you send pic
uh nah on the iland prop 50-90
Ah I see
Probably give your units good air cover to prevent the enemy from reinforce meming them away
i have all my are
Do last stands
but they got 1700 interwarfightwe
cant
And you can do it again
to lose my last 24 divs?
but i will try
dawng i allready lost 1.30m
allright they have every tile covert with inf
yea i shoulve done
ik its ass (and am gonna add the companies soon) but what could i change
make it like 36 with
nah thats it iam out
my marines died to
unplayeble
can i ask what did you just say
do haalf tank and halt motorised (try and replace them with mechanised inf)
what if i reduce to 32 width
yes do you have no step back?
support very imortaint
no am using heavy tanks just bcs am bored
good somhone will porp say somthing else about it but thia ahould work
ik, am gonna use hospitals engineer andsignal
am also turning the germans communist
you dont need hospital
It should
But ethere's no support companies
he sad later
try and get a land facility and research miliatry engeenier vehicles
But yes hospitals, assault engineers, flame tanks, either light tank or ranger recon, and then sure signals
am getting mils so its gonna take a bit
land facility is day 1
before mils
dont do it as albania tho
yo can you help me
iam in kinda a sitation
i play as italy and conquert france and stuff
not albania this time
also 25% german communism suppotr
Helo casey
what happens if the germans reach 50% communism support
you can stage a coup or sum
Yeah if those divisions have died we can't bring them back to life, sorry
Where have you been landing btw
dover
wait llemme scrap the barrel
Also yes it seems like the AI has a very strong tendency to just bash you over and over and over again until you either die or they run out of steam
wat if i land all over the coast
do the germans have to reach 50% or the party has to be the highest %
do you have the spie dlc?
hiya hru
yea
thrre is ,idsson stage a coup
understanding 0
Yeah you should basically land on as much of the British south coast as possible
alr
RIP people's militia
it sas it
either its not a major not at paeca not less than 70% stability or less than 50$´% if a major
so its impossible for me to do this
lol
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
In short your problem is that Germany's stability is too high
and i need to reduce it somehow
Something known as the propaganda mission
how do i play as ussr i just starting playing this game yesterday
my laptop has not the power to go till nukes
should play as them
whenever operation barbarossa happens i get pushed back to moscow by august
id you just started
That should be fine
try hand hld behind the river line
How many factories do you have, and what are your division templates
And also how much air do you have
In singleplayer 300 quality infantry divisions should stop the Germans at the river lines
air as soviets in the big 25
ill load in my game to see exactly since i just quit but i had around 250~ around the time of invasion
150 civs 100 something mil
air was like 1300 but they where old 1936 air
civgreed
om
Yeah the general strategy is to civgreed until early 1938 and then switch to mils
ig i had too low troops, germany and friends had way more troops then me
or divisions
thats normal
Yeah but the German divisions are bad
haha they go form bad in 1936 to 9/3 line arty in 1943
As the Benelux (basically there is a path where as the Netherlands you can unite with Belgium and Luxembourg) btw I was able to get 35 19/0s by the time war kicked off
Still bad
lol
in the span of 20 days btw
Yeah oof
aren't the default starting ones good
the inf is good, it just lacks support AA
the tanks are bad but to be fair, they are only the second worst one in the game as starter div
oh yeah the tanks do suck
time to play denmark but remain demo
despair
anyone want to explain to a noob why my units are nearly loosing even though I have a lot more of them and tanks?
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
with japan isnt it supposed to be fascism
what is the best strat to sealion uk as imperial germany?
Is it possible to put the autonomy of my puppets higher with the in game console?
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
You can add autonomy score and then use other cheats or let the AI increase it themselves
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
Theres tank templates and designs in the pins
oh thank you!
i feel like iam loosing i keep getting held back
What path does Italy go in Historical, Towards a Greater Italy or Mare Nostrum?
Tbh
I dont give a shit
Italy is a shit hole
Thanks this helped alot
Your troops are underequipped
In general just get to Paris and then you'll be fine
bc half of your divisions have 0 strength bc u prob have nothing in stockpile and the other half has 0 supply
supply good but manpower keeps going to 0
u will still push them and win eventually bc ai is same
ur supply isnt good in the belgian part but its whatever, nothing major
if mp is low ur just too low on conscription
or you lost it all from battleplanning with inf into the maginot
conscription?
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
?
and what about resistance how do i lower that i just saw that poland mostly is at 90%
Is past service by requirement any good
Do not use mp
For lower resistance
i dont even know how to lower
Suppression doesnt lower resistance
first time seeing resistance is a thing
swap to civilain oversight from start of the game and change your division to a cav division with only cav in it
if its already too late go local police
or harsh quota
With like
A mp
no mp isnt needed
just any cav division with nothing else so u don’t waste eq is the best
how tho
in theory full template with cav is the best
Iirc mp is good on 5+ battalion cavalry garrisons
its waste of ic and not needed
Less manpower and inf equipment in exchange for support equipment
Probs not the best but ehhh
When i say good i mean it pays itself back
support equipment in exchange for less inf eq and mp is never worth it
It literally can be
"But if theyre struggling with inf equipment then why would they have support equipment on spare?"
Manpower is still good?
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
if u struggle with inf eq and mp u have bigger problems than mp in your div
like hallooo
Is that not a positive trade
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
Did you have desp defence on
Id reccomend military police for minor nations
No
also everything of mine keeps getting sabotaged how do i fix that
Garrisons
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
have garrison that is fully equipped
can you join helping lounge 1 ? ill be muted and screensharing
cant rn
alr
just make a garrison template with cav that hs any amount of pure cav in it
wabu?
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
2 things idk if it was a mistake attacking here and i understand about 15% of what you say
Wouldn't be a mistake if you can win
i really wanna understand but i have no idea
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
i cant find the occupied terri...
so i set it to this?
It says it right there
No
support companies
Edit the division to have one cavalry batallion
Oh yeah
You don't want that in your garrison
do i remove recon?
Yes
so like this?
Yes
Also use that drop down to make a new division
First one, second one affects division names
It'll be fine to just save it, no?
okay so 2 questions
yes?
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
idk what i did but is it normal for soviet union to go to war with uk?
(yeah after a quick search i null my second question)
There is no best, it's all situational but there are good ones (that i forget)
Yes it is possible to come back but maybe also not
1st best inf division is either 16w pure inf with signals, logi, engi and aa if needed or any 36w with similar support companies. Yes no arty, because arty is shit at pushing, bit less bad at defending but overall bad and outclased by pure inf
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
I mean you don't really need to push with inf
as said infantry is also better at defending
arty is just more shit at pushing than defending
but gets outclased at both from pure inf
yeah uh i think it could be, but then again i lost to poland as germany, this is my second game of all time but imma try ig 🤌😭
yeah arty doesn't give that much defense
I wouldn't reccomend majors for your 2nd time playing
its savable if yk what u do, if u don’t just go next game and try again
I do recommend playing majors, esp because you have a big eco
What would you reccomend then boss
and smaller eco countries are too punishing if you play bad
play germany and get a hang of the game
👍👍👍
its the easiest country for new player, inflated eco, inflated and best stats
kay
I'd reccomend a strong minor
imma tell you tmrw how its ganna go down
Like romania or sumn
no minor is „strong“ if you don’t know how to set it up
romania is the weakest axis minor
Im assuming they don't have dlcs
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
They never specified what the issue is
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
how do i invade england? i cant seem to get me troops to naval they loose once they get there
What divisions are you using
And do you have air superiority
And what year is it
No but its cuz of your resistance
Put factories to repair at the top
the list is over 1k
mb 1k is a bit of a high shot mb like 2-300
Oh my god bruh
is that bad?
Yeah kind of
Wait lemme see your logistics menu
I wanna see if you're in a deficit
Cuz that'd be another reason why you cant push
what is a mils
okay
okay i may have took some a bit extreme i deleted half bout 100
Send a ss of logistics menu now
also idk what this war has turned into, is this normal?
That's if you have a coal issue
makes sense
Wait lemme see your inf equip production lines
this?
wdym
And i'd reccomend temporarily more mils on them
You can have more than 15 per line
On military stuff
You can go up to 150
so this is what i should do
Yeah
Go back to logistics and hover over the number
also i keep getting sabotaged this is right, right?
Keep it like that
When resistance goes down sabotages stop happening
alr
also while we did that my navy got demolished and i lost all control of the channel
💔
Do you have a good airforce
You can paradrop
one thing you always do
go to deployment screen
change the priority for garrison to the highest
i like it
you always want to fill garrison equipment otherwise you enter deaths piral like this
@edgy mesa do ts
just did
still at -80k
That doesn't matter
It means the guns that are being made will go to the garrisons first
i set to highest
disband some army if you have to
They alr disbanded 100 divs
honestly this is another paradox issue where the game is completely different with/without dlc
oh
well
disband more ig
so dlc makes it easier?
should i do a 3 months sub?
why does belgium have 73% resistance
Are your garrisons fully supplied
iam tryna
idk if this is better theres 2 red instead of 1
That is better
54k is better than 70k
Oh
That's bad
Maybe
Are you planning on declaring on the soviets anytime soon
they are allied
With you???
or ish allied
Or do you mean they're in the cominterm
yes
Yeah that's a fodder faction
It's made of the ussr, tannu tuva, and mongolia
meaning
commintern = free land for germany
Besides ussr depending on the germany player
Germany went around the Stalin line by invading Mongolia and Tannu Tuva
Little did germany know, they were in for horrors
with dlc you can make collabs
so you get free compliance
another thing why when i try to move 12 soldiers to one spot they automaticly go back
Plans
thx
because they were assigned to another order
ehm should i be concerned?
yes
