ask-for-help-here

[edgy mesa]

eh

can i make myself democratic?

or commu

so i dont get beaten

[vital geode]

That reminds me of a meme of a person saying why does everyone invade Russia like this (west to east), instead of this (south to north)?

[edgy mesa]

well

[vital geode]

Someone forgot the D-Day wall

[edgy mesa]

nope they rebelled no dday here

[vital geode]

What's this

[edgy mesa]

They rebelled while i was helping italy

[pliant condor]

next time you play put more factory on guns, and if you don't have spy dlc, put whatever land you occupy under harsh quota and prioritize garrison manpower

[edgy mesa]

well iamma get the all dlcs thing

[pliant condor]

then use the create collaboration government mission

you want 2 collaboration goverment on basically any nation you would conquer

[edgy mesa]

alr but this will give me all right

[tepid umbra]

im crine

[pliant condor]

yes

[edgy mesa]

game is rigged

[vital geode]

Why did you turn off seeing AI units

That is just handicapping yourself

You can toggle seeing AI units at the bottom right

[edgy mesa]

i thought i turned off so the colors were ally based not country based

[vital geode]

No, colors based on a country's relation with you is different

You just have it turned off

And you cant see the enemy

You are fighting ghosts

[edgy mesa]

is it on now?

[vital geode]

Yes

[edgy mesa]

also how do i know if the dlcs are actually on

[tepid umbra]

go over towards china

[vital geode]

Home screen i think

Main menu

[tepid umbra]

that too

but iirc china map is changed

[vital geode]

Launcher too I guess

[tepid umbra]

that is not dlc

[vital geode]

No NCNS

[edgy mesa]

it says enabled

not enabled but

[tepid umbra]

make a new game

[tepid umbra]

reload your game

[edgy mesa]

still the same

[tepid umbra]

like the launcher and stuff

[edgy mesa]

i quit and opened the game again

[tepid umbra]

try clicking the thing that says subscription is active?

[edgy mesa]

opens up a browser

[tepid umbra]

open the launcher

[tepid umbra]

go to the dlc thing

[tepid umbra]

what is poland united and ready

scroll up

[tepid umbra]

huh

try asking in tech support

[edgy mesa]

aight

[edgy mesa]

so i restarted steam and now its downloading some stuff i think that worked

[tepid umbra]

aight

[edgy mesa]

and another thing if i have the dlcs can i host a world and then my friend can join w/o any

[tepid umbra]

yes

the host of the multiplayer game decides what dlcs are for the game

[edgy mesa]

aight

[edgy mesa]

this look right?

[tepid umbra]

yes that means the dlc is on

btw the dlcs might be very overwhelming at first

there's a lot of new content

[edgy mesa]

better to learn now than learning base game first

and getting used to that

[tepid umbra]

sure ig

[edgy mesa]

omg the tech tree i finally understood 25% of the normal ones

[tepid umbra]

did you see the tech tree before man the guns got integrated into base game

it was so much simpler

instead of most of the navy techs there was like 6 ship types and that was it

[glacial steeple]

did they nerf it?

[tepid umbra]

💔

[glacial steeple]

i havent played in a bit idk whats happening

i believe people are on holiday rn

[edgy mesa]

in winter break?

[tepid umbra]

saying that cuz it's sad if it did

[edgy mesa]

prob american

[glacial steeple]

yeahg european company so they have european holidays

[neat widget]

Yeah there's only 1% initiative instead of 20%

I think there were other nerfs but I haven't tested it

the 15% hp might be a broken thing

[neat widget]

Sometimes I wonder if irregulars might be a better militia doctrine

[edgy mesa]

what is a good starting division?

[glacial steeple]

since when

[neat widget]

1.17.3 update

[molten needle]

should i use light spg or medium spg im poaying without any dlc

Playing*

anyone?

[neat widget]

Probably medium

light won't do too bad i imagine

[molten needle]

Oh ok

i want the most soft attack

to do quick encirclements and breakthroughs

[neat widget]

You'd get more from mediums

light spgs are just cheaper

[trail reef]

who the hell is this and how do i get her

[vital geode]

You literally have to suck as Germany to get her

[trail reef]

perfect

[vital geode]

Fail Munich, fail Memel

[trail reef]

how do you even do that?

[vital geode]

And I think another thing as well

[vital geode]

Delete your army

After the events fire

Or something like that

[trail reef]

my airwings does not gain experience no matter what

[tepid umbra]

what experience are they at rn

[trail reef]

0

[tepid umbra]

huh

are they training

[trail reef]

nope at the lowest level

i try training and nothing happens

i try fighting nothing happens

[tidal elk]

Can someone help me I’m brand new

[languid trout]

thats it?

[coarse finch]

There's some basic tutorials in the pins. I'd recommend watching those to learn the basics

[languid trout]

initiative does give faster planning but other than that its not that bad from my experience

[coarse finch]

@tidal elk these 2 videos specifically

[iron pike]

SOMEONE please, for the love of god can someone help me with soft attack and hard attack and breakthrough? like i know what they mean Im just confused on the numbers...... like wth does 100 soft attack mean or 5 soft attack, and how do i know if its effective against the enemy ?? all i know rn is red bubble = loose and green = win but i click the red or green button and dont know why im winning or loosing i just see a bunch of numbers...... please someone

[sterile hearth]

so what don't you understand?

[iron pike]

this right here, ive been trying to understand it for so long but i just cant

[coarse finch]

The wiki has a pretty in depth explanation. But tldr is higher soft attack means more damage against low hardness targets, higher hard attack is more damage against high hardness targets and higher breakthrough reduces damage taken while attacking.

https://hoi4.paradoxwikis.com/Land_battle

[sterile hearth]

are you germany? @iron pike

[iron pike]

yes

[iron pike]

yeah i understand that bro, what i dont understand is the numbers like ok i see 81 soft attack for example but what does that mean??? like the 81?? if my soft is 81 and there defense is lets say 100 does that mean they will win because they have more defense than i am attacking??

[coarse finch]

Just read the wiki page I linked then

That explains how it actually works

[neat widget]

Yeah that's it for some reason

[neat widget]

If you hover over the numbers you get a breakdown of all the modifiers affecting combat

And also hover over the little icons too

[sterile hearth]

ok so lets talk some basic stats. First hardness. A divisions hardness determines the ratios of soft to hard attack. a 0 hardness division will take 100% of an enemy divisions soft attack. 100% hardness means it will take 100% of the enemy divisions hard attack. mix the ratio. so if you division in the example had 50% hardness it would take 5-6 soft attack and 0-1 hard attack. Does that make sense so far? @iron pike

[iron pike]

no what i dont understand is the numbers lol, like wym they will take 5-6 soft attacks? they will get attacked 5-6 times by infantry?

[sterile hearth]

I will get to that in a minute. does the ratio make sense? 50% hardness means 50% soft attack 50% hard attack. 25 hardness = 75% soft attack 25% hard attack.

I am really neurodivergent so this is how I think and I have a hard time explaining it differently from the step by step way I think.

[iron pike]

yes i understand this, if a unit defending is 10% hardness, the attacker will use 10% of its hardness to attack. like if the attacker has 100 hard attack it will attack with 10 hard attack against the 10% hardness division? or i have it wrong?

[neat widget]

I think there can be a confusion here. Hardness is what proportion of hard attack that hits an enemy, with 1 - hardness being the proprtion of soft attack that hits an enemy

[glacial steeple]

this is correct and is why motorized sucks

10% hardness with no added hp

for like 2.5x the cost of cav

[sterile hearth]

you have it right. So once you figure out how many hard attack and soft attack you are going to get hit with, you then will add them up to a total number. so for the above ex

[iron pike]

sorry what??

[glacial steeple]

well yes

but also soft attack % is decreased

like the factor of amount of soft attack that deals damage

if youre 10% hardness, 10% of the soft attacks do not do anything

[sterile hearth]

25% hardness = 0.25 hardness. 1-0.25=0.75 0.75=75% so 75% soft attack

@iron pike want to jump in helping lounge 1?

[iron pike]

yes

wait let me get my mic

[neat widget]

Basically if a division has 25% hardness, the amount of attack an enemy division inflicts on it is 25% of hard attack plus 75% of soft attack

[coarse finch]

Don't post modern politicians please

[iron pike]

oh damn sorry i just used a gif discord suggested when i searched "confsued"

[iron pike]

mhhh

[iron pike]

ok so my mic is dead i will have to text but i will join and you can talk

wait

let me change me input i cant hear u

actually ill just dm u

[glacial steeple]

hi chakcat

[coarse finch]

Ok so basically copying from the wiki every hour a division is attacking it will take the soft attack and hard attack values based off the enemies hardness stat. And divide those by 10. Thats the amount of attacks something will have. Meanwhile the enemies defense is also divided by 10 get their defenses. So 100 attack is equal to 10 attacks. Now if for example you have something with 1000 attack and the enemy has 500 defense you'll have 50 attacks that are defended which have a 10% change of hitting. And 50 attacks that are undefended which have a 40% chance of hitting. And if an attack hits the enemy will take org and strength damage

[coarse finch]

I'm not Chak

[glacial steeple]

proof?

[coarse finch]

And the same is also going on to calculate how much damage your division will take with the enemy attack stat and your breakthrough.

[coarse finch]

I'm not french

[neat widget]

BTW Casey what if I want to build a 1940 heavy fighter

Should I use jet engines or no

[languid trout]

atleast prc is still easy with the militia doctrines still being really good

hopefully they dont nerf it more

[neat widget]

true

i wonder though if irregular doctrine si better or not

[languid trout]

i mean it kinda does

but militia gets more possible buffs

irregular only gets buffs from the guerilla war subdoc in operations

as far as i know

[neat widget]

operations doctrine generally buffs everything

irregular doctrine does buff militia so that's why I ask

with a good -0.4 combat width bonus

[languid trout]

i meant from the instant granting buffs

that u get instantly when getting it

other than that i dont think irregulars get any more buffs than that

(besides focuses, especially afghanistan)

[neat widget]

Problem with Afghanistan irregulars is that you get like 24 x 9 battalion units

And it isn't that useful dropping it from 18 width to 14.4 width

[quartz quiver]

how to sealion

yes

[indigo sapphire]

are ALL of the SPs good to use?

is this good?

[quick night]

even the super heavy ones?

[neat widget]

No

Those aren't useful

yes, coming back soon

if it is on schedule it will in about a week

[indigo sapphire]

answer

[quick night]

.

[quick night]

the heavy ones arent

[neat widget]

light, medium, and heavy spgs are pretty decent

heavy spgs are probably best if you're going late game

[quick night]

ok

[neat widget]

actually mediums aren't that bad

[indigo sapphire]

i mean Special projects

[neat widget]

you don't need that much breakthrough in singlepolayer

[quick night]

holy I didnt expect it to have 10 km/h

im in 1945 i wanna know if ts is good

[neat widget]

add two machine gun turrets somewhere

this will boost your soft attack value

[quick night]

what should I replace it with?

the sloped armor or?

[neat widget]

Yeah the sloped armor and the single mg I think

If you want that much armor you can make a dedicated tank for that

[narrow grail]

These requirements mean that I should build 24 civs and 28 mils in 5 years or just have them? Currently I have 16 civs 14 mils

[indigo sapphire]

are ALL Special projects good to use and utilise?

[quick night]

like this?

[neat widget]

Turrets

Yes, I am telling you to make a multi-turreted tank

There should also be a small cannon turret, those are expensive but in MP worth it

[quick night]

its fine I have the resources

[indigo sapphire]

answer

[neat widget]

Some are better than others

You should try all of them at least once I'd say

[quick night]

am I supposed to find them in the special features?

[past mica]

What should i do when my game crashes for no reason but only when i play as Spain ?

[neat widget]

build a facility first, then click the facility

[quick night]

oh ok

cuz ts is a modern tank I wasnt able to find it for some reason

but when I built the medium tank I found it

[neat widget]

But the most useful ones in the early-mid game (so up to 1943 ish) are like

Land: flame tanks, military engineering vehicles, super-heavy railway gun, maybe super-heavy howitzer and its self-propelled counterpart, multi-charge cannon
Air: radar, helicopters, all of the jet techs, mothership aircraft, maybe flying bomb (and if you're late to the air game rocket engines mayyyyyy??? work)
Navy: super-heavy battleship, escort carriers, torpedo cruiser, cruiser submarine, fleet submarine

And the nuclear techs aren't bad either, I'd prefer commercial nuclear reactors to the fission bomb. All of these are roughly in the order of usefulness, except for the navy where they're roughly equivalent

[neat widget]

OH

NO

🤦‍♂️

My fault, just click the top row

and then click secondary turrets

[quick night]

oh ok ty

also quick question not so much help here but why when i build a sub fleet like geramny just as the fuher intended it is dogwater but the second I try building a big fleet with battleships and what not it shreds

[placid cove]

Hello, I remember seening somewhere there was a trick to change template and keep the experience of units. How do I do that? Like I want to make an infantry template, level it to level 3, and then swap it to tank but keep the level 3 experience

[echo night]

also does anyone know what the optimal combat width for marines are

[split dirge]

30-36

anything between that

[echo night]

alright

[split dirge]

go 16 width for spam invasions

[stuck hinge]

how do i unlock the bottom part?

[twin fiber]

what country has the most amount achievements i can do in a single run

[split dirge]

complete a subdoctrine with 1+ brigade size

like gbp its inf

[twin fiber]

preferrably minor country

[stuck hinge]

ah alright

[languid trout]

i dont think you can put more than 1 of those torpedos

[leaden cargo]

is playing historical USSR just spamming mils day 1 and pumping out mediums with 9/0s

and then putting them on the Dnieper

[dusty sandal]

@neat widget
Light SPGs are better than mediums :
1936 spg cost 3ic less for same stats as 1938 medium
1941 spg is 4 soft atk behind 1941 medium but 3ic less
Only 1943 medium spg really surpass the lights because there's no more light upgrade.

If I was to choose, I'd do light spg until 43-4 then swap to modern spg

For reference, brk stat barely even changes between 1936 to 1943 from 2.5 to 3.5

[charred needle]

I can gibe u

[echo night]

oh my days thank you so much bro

[dusty sandal]

35 for plains/hills and forest/jungle. 36 is good too but penalities skyrocket for forest/jungle
32 for mountains and marshes

[dusty sandal]

If you have special forces doctrines they're all usefull
Otherwise they're just niche for 1 use

[lone sigil]

mech marines or moutaineer marines ?

i forgot

[dusty sandal]

Both, combat width is still the same since it's limited by terrain

[glacial steeple]

lights are rlly good in no dlc

[lone sigil]

both in one template?

[glacial steeple]

only source of break

[dusty sandal]

You can put both,it's advisable too

[fierce idol]

no dlc, can someone explain air and naval stuff?

[kind zephyr]

what is a good destroyer and battleship template? I also need a good heavy mp advance figher also please.

Is it possible for Republicians to win the Spanish Civil War with historical focus turned on + I am not even playing as Spain

[kind tendon]

I'm on Mac and have been having problems with troops, especially with aircraft (which, although handed missions do NOT intercept 🥀) and my troops are really slow (they supplied too idk) while the AI's are faster, even though they're not motorized

[crystal fox]

I lost to poland as germany, FOR THE SECOND TIME

maybe it was cuz of supply and no Air support cuz i forgot about it

but nah

Poland had hacks

[shut edge]

anyone have tips for Japan with the dlc?

Ive been trying different guides but then I always seem to get stuck after I take nanking, I dont know if its because im not going fast enough, a supply issue, or a simple skill issue but any tips and advice will help

[scenic nacelle]

Yeah

[peak elk]

Fascist germany?

[crystal fox]

yeah uh

yeah

[peak elk]

That's okay

It means there is plenty for you to learn

Go watch bitt3rsteel

[shut edge]

what are you having troubles with as Germany?

[peak elk]

I had 3 runs with new japan. This is what I recommend you to do.
-As soon as you start the game create a spy agency and start preparing collab governments when you have two but if you want you can wait till you get +1 spy from the focus. I do max collabs because I don't want to go to chongqing.
-Don't do the focus reinforce east hebei garrisons as it will trigger the war earlier. If you do want to go for it early on its your choice.
-I used 9 inf 2 arty with engineer, logistics and support arty as my main division. Built 2 armies of that.
-Take all of your puppet troops and use them as line holders. Put them to the border with the chinese warlords and use the main division to push into china.
-Switch to superior firepower. And get subdoctrines that boost soft attack.
-Only push into china. Encircle whenever you can, wherever you can.
-Don't bother naval invading if you aren't really stuck.
-Don't let them entrench, always have them on the go.
-Focus on supply hubs and railroads. Build and upgrade as you conquer.
-Your enemy has not much of an airforce so use it because cas is king.
-Make sure you have enough trucks and trains.
-I'm not sure if "Senbu" is good or not but I use it for occupation law.

If you do all that I think you capitulate china when you conquer all the lands that have proper railroads I'm not sure where exactly but half of china at least.

The part where supply isn't that bad

[shut edge]

so basically

Spy agency- collab governments as quickly as you can

Dont reinforce (Unless I want to go early war)

9inf 2arty eng logi support arty for my main offensive divs, use puppet troops as line holders for the mountains, use superior firepower and stack as much soft attack as I can

Push only into China, dont get bogged down and keep pushing them to make sure they dont entrench, encircle as much as you can and rush supply hubs and railways, and use your airforce

[peak elk]

Puppet divisions are meant to hold the chinese warlord borders. You only use main division on the actual china border

[peak elk]

Yeah don't push into shanxi

Hebei chahar->Shangdong->China

That's what you want

At the start rush to beijing and xian and then Qingdao

For supply

[shut edge]

alright

what about some of the early army stuff

like if they want 600k men

do I just focus entirely on mils

[peak elk]

Are you in the middle of a japan run? If yes then can you provide me a screenshot?

[peak elk]

Build civs untill like late 37 you don't really need that many mils as you'll run into resource problems and do it in your %80 infrastructure provinces

[shut edge]

I have a run thats somewhere in 38 39, but my puppet divisions didnt make it in time to hold the line so my frontline is sorta wonk

[peak elk]

Don't build tanks or anythşng just guns and artillery

And supp equipment

[shut edge]

I can pull up the run (im pretty sure I still have it)

[peak elk]

Yeah the supply should be good

[shut edge]

if you want I can stream it, I think it should still be somewhat savable

[peak elk]

You got menjiang as a puppet right?

[shut edge]

yep

[peak elk]

I can't watch your stream rn im on my phone

[shut edge]

you cant watch a discord stream on your phone?

[peak elk]

Theres this option to get northern shanxi but I didn't really like it

[shut edge]

btw sorry if this sounded rude

[peak elk]

You can but its kinda meh and I got bad wifi connection here

So itll probably be very laggy

What I meant was that I'm not home with a good wifi connection

[shut edge]

ok, current status of my run

Im thinking I can regain control back where the cut my frontline inbetween shanxi

im SUPER close to their other capital

[peak elk]

Oh

Go for beijing

Regularly check the surrender progress of china

[shut edge]

thats already taken, puppet div is holding it

the main issue is do I try to just rush for the cap points, or do I try to reconnect my lines

[peak elk]

Doesn't matter, getting northeast china is important

Wait

Hebei chahar is your puppet??

How???

[shut edge]

Yeaaaah something weird happened

when the war started and I capped em it gave me a peace conference

I dont even know how

[peak elk]

Oh

Yeah normally when they cap china is supposed to annex them but its kinda buggy

So I gtg good luck with your game I hope my advice helps

[shut edge]

ye np

yeah no im restarting that shit

[devout imp]

is it worth it to just have my army, navy, and airforce train all the time before ww2? or would the civ cost for all the oil outway the xp gain?

[lethal venture]

could someone help me out on hoi4, i keep doing mp with my friends but i get battered everytime and i want to have a good fight instead of getting rolled

[hollow linden]

Getting all of your army and airforce to lvl3 is a nice buff, navy grinds veterancy so fast that training it for that makes no sense

Of course if you need naval XP it's good

But not beyond that

Air is the most important thing to train. It's the difference between winning and losing

Having your army not green is also not bad but also not mandatory to have on lvl3

[hollow linden]

What nations were you playing?

[devout imp]

i always train my units till level 3, my main issue is that I never have enough army, navy, or airforce xp to get my doctrines straight or unit/templates designs. i always send volunteers, i try to focus on political power so i can get the right ministers, but it's never enough

[crystal fox]

mostly everything, it was my second actually played game and even defeated some countries (Austria and the chezhoslovakia im good ik)

[hollow linden]

Yea you're not supposed to have all your doctrines ready by war

So don't bother

[lethal venture]

First time round Italy and it took me multiple years to take ethiopa and then my friend who was playing as britain just rolled through me in the war and then japan and I couldnt win against ai China.

[hollow linden]

And filling all your pp slots is also not the goal

You only have that much pp and xp

So you need to prioritise

[devout imp]

i see, so i just gotta cut my losses where i can. but im guessing i should at least get my division templates and unit designs ready for the war?

or at least get them finished within the first year of ww2

I know medium tanks aren't necessary per se, but they're cool to have. and i never have enough xp for ship and plane designs cause of the oil cost to train them

[near citrus]

how do i fix outdated production

[devout imp]

research better tech, click on the outdated item from the production tab and click the newer model in the menu that pops up

[near citrus]

if i dont have it researched, do i just ignore the problem until i research it

[dapper pilot]

Heya, i have two questions: Whats the best space marine template with all dlcs, and I cant counter the tanks a friend of mine just pumps out, they are crazily op. Whats the best way to counter them?

[hollow linden]

That should be your priority

[hollow linden]

Don't do space marines. Everyone has piercing now

Just make special forces

[devout imp]

yeah, if you don't have newer tech you can produce it. im not familiar with lend leases, but i believe you can request a lend lease from another nation, and if their tech is better you could produce it

[devout imp]

gotcha

[hollow linden]

Yea you can't do all 3

You can at max do 2

And as Germany for example, army and airforce take priority

That's almost always the case

Navy takesa backseat

[devout imp]

yeah, im playing as Austria in kaiserreich and i also just ignore the navy. i train them till level 3 and then just have them guard the adriatic

[hollow linden]

But you can make a small navy with just 20 docks

[hollow linden]

To counter tanks you need tds of your own

[devout imp]

what about the oil cost to train units? im always completely empty when I train both navy and airforce at the same time (as Austria in KR), is it worth to spend the civs for more oil?

[hollow linden]

Then obviously don't lol

Like u don't need all your units at lvl3

Also trade for oil if necessary

Like running out of fuel is deadly

[dapper pilot]

Whats the best template there?

[hollow linden]

For ranger special forces specifically it's 36w

[devout imp]

only in war time, right?

[hollow linden]

Ye in war

[near citrus]

how to get more political power?

[devout imp]

yeah im talking before the start of the war

[hollow linden]

..... You wait, or do focuses that give pp

[devout imp]

just to get more xp

[hollow linden]

Then it's whatever but u won't get any xp from training units that need fuel if you run out of fuel

[near citrus]

where do i do the focuses

[dapper pilot]

Well wouldnt it fill up my sf cap instantly?

[hollow linden]

Holy shit. Play the tutorial

[hollow linden]

Make more units

Or exploit it

[devout imp]

I know that, that's why I'm asking if the xp gain outweighs the civ cost for oil trade

[near citrus]

calm down bro, no need to rage

[hollow linden]

It does

[hollow linden]

I'm not angry

DW

I'm just surprised

Like if you're asking those kinds of questions, have you even opened the game?

[dapper pilot]

So just no line holder infantry, but purely special forces (+ my push units ofc)

[near citrus]

yes

[hollow linden]

Theres a tutorial for a reason

[hollow linden]

Again, if you ruin your eco for fuel when training your army. Which really does not matter all that much, maybe don't train your army

[devout imp]

aight

[hollow linden]

What?

How are you going to have sf cap

Without normal inf

[dapper pilot]

Im asking what the best option for line holder divisions it, i thought it was space marines

And your telling me to do purely sf

[hollow linden]

Did you say line holders? Mb then just 16-17w infantry

With support AT

[dapper pilot]

I didnt, sorry. Thank you!

[dapper pilot]

Adding armor is just not worth it then?

[analog maple]

guys anyone know how do I rush fr*nce as Germany? i keep tryna attack lebanon after like 70 days but I can't get past Belgium. i managed to once and now i cant do it

[hollow linden]

With support AT

Maybe make some inf bricks with at too and go anti tank front line subdoctrine

[hollow linden]

Not really

Your enemy will probably have piercing

[hollow linden]

Not really

[dapper pilot]

Even the ai?

DE hätte ich früher sehen können lol

[hollow linden]

Nah against AI u don't need at. Support aa has enough piercing. At is only good against players

[hollow linden]

So many Germans bro it's crazy

[rustic acorn]

und uralt....

[hollow linden]

Don't call me old 😭

[dapper pilot]

Do space marines make sense against ai was what i meant to ask

[hollow linden]

No

Even AI gets piercing

I mean space marines have been shit for years now

People jusz propagate misinformation

Same with artillery especially now

It's shit idk why people don't get that

[dapper pilot]

Ok everyone knows line arty is dogshit 🙏

[hollow linden]

Nope

Not everyone

People are on reddit

And swear by 14/4

90% of the Player base is shit

That's why paradox won't improve the AI

[jolly escarp]

how do I beat japanese empire? they're such a pain

[hollow linden]

Because all the sp warriors will come crying that's its too hard

[hollow linden]

Nvm they're already complaining that AI is too hard

[jolly escarp]

Why do you expect every player to be a sweaty nerd

[hollow linden]

I see that hoes is mad

[jolly escarp]

hoes is mad

[hollow linden]

It doesn't take 2000 hours to get good

[jolly escarp]

go learn grammar or something

[hollow linden]

The fking joke:

Alr whatever

[rustic acorn]

saw much worse AI, was hoping in CIV7 it would be better, but....

[hollow linden]

Well civ7 is actually like a shit game?

What I can say is that at least the ck3 AI is somewhat competent

So they can make a good AI

They just won't in hoi4 for reasons stated above

[rustic acorn]

nope, CK3 AI is stupid as well

[hollow linden]

Well yea but at least you have the option of making it good

And as a player you're somewhat handicapped by negative events that it at least appears to be good

It's still dogshit because ck3 is easy as fk

[rustic acorn]

still I like it

[hollow linden]

But like if u play on hard and harder difficulties u just buff AI into being good

[hollow linden]

Yea it's a good game

I myself have like 1.6k hours

That's only 1/5th of my hoi hours

[rustic acorn]

hehehe

[signal island]

Im interested in purchasing some dlcs or atleast one during this sale but im quite sure which ones

[edgy mesa]

what to do here? we keep loosing when attacking

[gray veldt]

Does anyone know why i didnt get the great hungry achivement?

[hollow linden]

You're missing Burgenland and Dalmatia

[gray veldt]

Ty

[hollow linden]

Whats the air like

Also pls for the love of God turn off nato symbols

Idk what your units are

[lone sigil]

whats ur template

also supply

[stray trellis]

Hello,
is there like a spreadsheet for army Templates and Tank designs (Light or Medium)
Right now i have Light tanks and they are so bad.. :c

[lone sigil]

pined messages

[hollow linden]

Check pinned messages in this channel

[silk parcel]

From a quick glance, looks like a few of your troops are suffering supply issues. Unless you've specifically built a small section of railway to connect up to the supply hub in Metz, that supply hub is disconnected. Doing so should fix your supply issues a little bit.

Beyond that, I would concentrate your air there. If you're attempting to reclaim the Maginot, strat bombing the forts/anti-air could be worthwhile to do, assuming you have Tacts or Strats to do so.

Dunno what to say regarding your divisions as I truthfully have no idea what the NATO symbols are.

[hollow linden]

I got this

Pins might be outdated since ncns

[stray trellis]

So we focus on SP artillery?

even with Light tanks?

[hollow linden]

Especially with light tanks

Ever since doctrine rework normal tanks are redundant

[stray trellis]

kk

[lone sigil]

more engin ticks?

[hollow linden]

Spgs are so good now

[silk parcel]

Soft attack is incredibly powerful in SP. The AI doesn't really make good tank divisions - meaning you'll usually have enough piercing/hard attack as is.

[hollow linden]

Why

Speeds kinda irrelevant

[sleek remnant]

Idk why people use it
Never understood (or why does the game even have that option?)

[stray trellis]

Oh right. So a Doctrine meta is there too?

[lone sigil]

speed breakthrough

[stray trellis]

Cuz back when I played we had 20 CW with infantry and Artillery

and no tank designer

[lone sigil]

nah to encircle and overrun

[hollow linden]

For spgs, totally, so it's assault inf, self propelled focus, streamlined deployment and grand assault

The inf doctrine can also be large unit tactics

Depends on your needs

[hollow linden]

Speed gets nuked by everything

[stray trellis]

i need to write that down

[hollow linden]

The reason you move faster than your enemy won't be your high base speed

It will 90% of cases be fuel or supply

Or the lack of it

[lone sigil]

what about extra breakthrough tho

[hollow linden]

Yea that's been gone for 5 years now

On while we're on it, don't use artillery

It's ass

[lone sigil]

17 armor tick?

dawng

[hollow linden]

.... Engine clicks dont give break?

[hollow linden]

Yes?

For the break.

[lone sigil]

dont? oh

[hollow linden]

Bruh

That's what armor clicks do!

Reading is hard

[stray trellis]

For attack infantry and hold the line infantry

still CW16?

[lone sigil]

dont need that much arty against ai tho

this gonna scrape you steel

[hollow linden]

What?

I have spgs

[hollow linden]

You're already doing tanks

Tanks aren't cheap

Atp you can just not use tanks at all and get the same result

Inf is insane as is

Tanks Are quite unnecessary

But if you were to do tanks, this is how

[lone sigil]

yea but the steel cost is is like exponenel

[stray trellis]

I mean If I play a nation who has a weak tanks

[hollow linden]

That's not what that word means

It is quite literally linear

[stray trellis]

or no industry for tanks

still the same doctrine or?

[hollow linden]

Don't make tanks

[lone sigil]

than in missspelled

[hollow linden]

Make special forces

Better than tanks anyhow

[hollow linden]

It is

Go back to 1st grade and learn spelling

Or the language idk

[hollow linden]

It's slightly different, for the support doctrine you want mobile recon

And large unit tactics

[lone sigil]

better typ fast and missspell also english isnt my first language

[hollow linden]

Neither is it mine

🤯

[stray trellis]

God thats a lot of stuff to learn

again

😢

[lone sigil]

you understant me so i dont need to improve

hehe

[hollow linden]

That's Still not what exponential means kek

[glacial steeple]

oh are you from britain then?

[hollow linden]

What

[lone sigil]

lol

[glacial steeple]

they speak britainish

[hollow linden]

Jfc

[stray trellis]

o bottle o water ?

@hollow linden Thanks for the infos

Gonna try that out in my new game (without getting crushed by AI)

[edgy mesa]

default

[lone sigil]

yea pushing with defaukt inf might not get you the best outcome

[stray trellis]

@hollow linden Uhm regarding Special Forces in infantry templates.
the special force cap still exists?

[worn juniper]

does anybody know why everytime my friend tries to join my mp game it says timed out?

[lone sigil]

maby ask in tech support

[worn juniper]

yeah i did i got egoed

[analog maple]

guys if i get the fails to log map error does that mean that the mod dont work at all?

[lone sigil]

yes

[analog maple]

ok thx

[neat widget]

Ah yeah

Take a look here #ask-for-help-here message

[elfin crystal]

paratroopers or naval invade as germany?

uk

like

incading the uk

[stray trellis]

WOAH

Ok and how is a legit infantry template?

16CW and stuff?

[neat widget]

It's not

What we're doing here is increasing the special forces cap so we can convert divisions later

[craggy pumice]

What are best uses for armored car in single player? Recon? Or strictly suppression

[lone sigil]

dont use them

[lean narwhal]

Who is stronger, Pennywise or Freddy Krueger?

[lone sigil]

erich manstein

[fossil walrus]

Do i Annex or Subjugate China, it is 1938

[lone sigil]

there is a focus as italy : expand rome flight schools it sas it reducees the chance that somhone dies in an aircrafaft crash? wwho?

[lone sigil]

palying as japan?

[fossil walrus]

Yea

[lone sigil]

give it all your puppet reorginised goverment of china

[fossil walrus]

I capped china too quickly there is no reorganised china

Do i just make it a puppet from the peace treaty?

[lone sigil]

annex it

you have the complaines thingi

collab

[fossil walrus]

Nope

I went straight for changde with the starting army and some microing

[lone sigil]

[lone sigil]

uh idk you can just puppet and resoucrse right

and factorie steel

[fossil walrus]

ooo alright

China got 11 factories left😭

[lone sigil]

huh

what about warlord?

[fossil walrus]

Uhh

I invaded before they formed the faction yk

[lone sigil]

alr you cooked

all you eco comes form china

have fun fighting us

[fossil walrus]

Thanks

My only goal is to nuke Usa

[rain iris]

Which subdoctrine is best for a small country? I am playing Mexico

[carmine lichen]

does japan still give you a white peace if you push them out of china? even if theyre not fascist

[lone sigil]

there is desion for it right?

also they shouldnt attack if they not historical i think

[tepid umbra]

Prolly under operations, do desperate defense

It's free manpower

[carmine lichen]

im gonna ttack them

[lone sigil]

uh than idk

[stray trellis]

anything I should add for attack infantry? Ive got flame thrower tanks.

[lone sigil]

use flame thrower for tanks

but this should work as line holder

do you have air?

[stray trellis]

nope

Air got destroyed

[lone sigil]

than add anti air

very importaint

[quaint harbor]

how do you fix supply fast?

[lone sigil]

motorise supply you need trucks for that

[vagrant glacier]

motorize divisions

can anyone help me explain the meta way to get doctrine xp now
when i play germany i use pure 18w inf with support engineer
but now the meta is spg with support arty doctrine

[wintry matrix]

Get trucks, upgrade rails near your frontline - between your supply camps.
Build ports, if fighting near water and connect them with railways too.

[vagrant glacier]

do i have to start adding support arty to my inf to get the doctrine or wat

[quaint harbor]

alr thx

[lone sigil]

yes

[vagrant glacier]

but i dont wanna produce artillery

[lone sigil]

its cheap

[neat widget]

You're using the infantry battalion?

But yes do add medium flamethrower tanks

then your fifth slot can be hospitals

do upgrade your engineers to assault engineers once you have the chance

[stray trellis]

noted

need to use infantry battalion cuz no indsutry for tanks right now

[neat widget]

Keep in mind you have 300+ tanks per tank division, but with flame tanks you only need 15 for the support company so they are relatively cheap

[stray trellis]

Producing a cheap tank divison right now for the beginning

[glacial steeple]

tanks are so silly

a 1 ic design difference is like a 400 difference in the div

[neat widget]

do expand it later on, but for now ig

[stray trellis]

:omg

[stray trellis]

i totally forgot about those here

[neat widget]

Ah yeah

why are you on mobile warfare

[stray trellis]

im building tanks right now ._."

[neat widget]

mobile warfare isn't particularly good for tanks

It gives speed but not much else

[stray trellis]

Grand Battleplan?!

[neat widget]

you're better off sticking with grand battleplan

[stray trellis]

is there also a good airplane design?

Like only 4 Light machine guns and go?

[jagged hull]

I need help can anyone please I'm trying to get my colonials for an achievement please

I'm on vc please help

[vagrant glacier]

so whats the best inf doctrine for germany

[pastel tinsel]

id say mobile, due to the speed boost. Can encircle easily

[oak jasper]

I'm looking to start cranking out 1939 destroyers ASAP. There'll be a 70-day window where the only thing missing is the torpedo launchers.

Is it a good idea to initially do the design without torpedo tubes, then alter the design the moment the advanced torpedo launchers finish?

[pastel tinsel]

throw the improved torp tube onto it and start producing it, once the advanced torp is researched you can upgrade the design for fraction of the XP cost

[neat widget]

you're using heavy frame?

in either case you should max out HMGs not LMGs

LMGs and cannons may be for if you're doing air early

[pastel tinsel]

cannons early with that agi drop?

[stray trellis]

hm light frame at the moment

[neat widget]

heavy

i meant medium frame

you can't do heavy frame fighers rip

[stray trellis]

oh no

i saw this pic

and later switch to

[carmine lichen]

is there a way to stop british troops from coming? ive been destroying the indians but if these british troops come then im completely cooked

[neat widget]

It is possible to capitulate India

[neat widget]

Well if you're doing heavy fighters just do heavy fighters the whole time

Yeah this does perform worse but well, going down two research branches is oof

[dapper pilot]

whats the next improvement to make and when? its currently 1936

[carmine lichen]

if before i start the civil war i delete all my units and spawn a single cav unit would that win me the war?

[vital plinth]

Can someone help me I’m new to game and I’m very frustrated because it’s hard to understand and very hard to get help on Reddit because a bot keeps removing post over some weird rule that I can’t seem to understand or fill probably and I’m at the edge of my anger 😪

I’m playing the tutorial, and tried to invade Ethiopia as Italy but my armies stopped around here and don’t move and then they also get a lot of red pins like attrition and low organization
I have no idea what’s wrong and I watched a video guy but either I am stupid because I can’t remember much of what’s mentioned too overwhelming for me, and I also don’t know what to do if I jsut playing the game so it’s back and forth loop

[stuck garnet]

Field marshal

[vital plinth]

I know nothing bro some explanation please 😅

[vital geode]

This

[jagged garden]

Greatest image known to mankind

[vital geode]

Select only some units by left clicking and dragging a portion of the map and then right click where you want them to go

Shift right click to queue

[lyric prawn]

That is the guy that appears when you click the button left of your generals. You can shift and click on your generals and then press the field marshal to assign your generals to one. To simplify it, you can basically use him as an extra general that commands your assigned generals all at once.

[leaden jay]

is there a fix

[vital geode]

Yes, go to faction rules

And change it

[fading fern]

The rule is that a picture needs a comment. The picture description doesn't count as comment. So you have to make a "r5 explanation of picture" comment

[leaden jay]

thanks

[vital plinth]

Ah ok I see I didn’t do that k tried explain in the post itself thank you

[vital plinth]

Is that why my armies are moving very slow towards Ethiopia capital ?

[tough stone]

Any suggestions for a good nation in a first MP game, I have 500hrs just not sure about MP yet

[lyric prawn]

I don’t think so. Mby that’s just because of low game speed, you see that in the upper right corner, underneath the date. If you select more of the green bars, you’ll increase the ingame speed, that might be the problem but could also be other things, im definitely not an expert

[lyric prawn]

Could also be low organisation or low supplies idk

[stuck garnet]

Low org causes slow movement

?

[lyric prawn]

I’ve not played for a long time I’m not sure at all but mby

[vital plinth]

Yeah says very low organization and high attrition

[lyric prawn]

But wait didn’t movement itself cause lower organisation?

[neat widget]

Yeah

[karmic terrace]

How do I paratroop britain

[vital plinth]

No idea sorry it’s my first game and play tutorial very confused unfortunately

[lyric prawn]

I was too when I started playing but you’ll learn the basics soon trust me

[leaden jay]

how do i fix this?

[vital plinth]

Can I max use 15 civilian factory to build 1 civilian facttory ?

[oak jasper]

Yes, though you can use 30 to build two in different states.

[light knoll]

you will either build an airforce or just wait for them to not have planes up, and paradrop on ideally like a port and the 2 tiles next to it, then you ship your army via the port

you can't really cap them immediately unfortunately like france

[karmic terrace]

But how can you get past the royal navy, if you have the port can you send troops there with no naval

[light knoll]

yes

[karmic terrace]

Niice this long ahh war is gonna end finally

[grizzled surge]

Can I naval invade from San Diego all the way to Tokyo?

[oak jasper]

So: if I understand correctly, Free Trade always reserves 80% of your strategic resources for export, even if you're not presently exporting? I just ran out of steel, and it looks to me like I either need to spend a few civs on import or change my trade law.

[vagrant glacier]

whats the meta naval bomber design

[bronze grove]

yes

[glacial steeple]

yeahg

[rustic acorn]

Hey, you could, if it wasnt out of range of your ships. So you need to do Island hopping

you can go from Guam

[pulsar beacon]

what is the best inf/armor templates for 1941 soviets
also should i start mass producing army divisons in 1939-1940 so that i get minimum 200 divisions before invasion

[dawn dove]

how good is this template

[rustic acorn]

yo man, endtime tank... looks good

[dawn dove]

heres the thing, its 1941

[rustic acorn]

yes, that time in SP you can have London or Moskau, quite end of game

[dawn dove]

ye i already took london

[cold garnet]

is it with all doctrines unlocked and masteries completed?

[dawn dove]

no

not yet

i add two more mech

for org

[cold garnet]

ok,

image hasn't loaded for me but it is prolly good enough

[pliant condor]

waste of ic

[neat widget]

537 soft attack 115.7 hard attack with 397 breakthrough

Something's not adding up

also motorized recon and no flame tanks

[deft onyx]

Why no flame tanks?

[rustic acorn]

no, they are missing was meant

[deft onyx]

Yeah

I just realised

😭

[rustic acorn]

all fine

[deft onyx]

I was gonna say though

Flame tanks are peak

[neat widget]

Yeah that's the question I ask them

They have motorized recon and no flame tanks

which is bad

[deft onyx]

Motor recon is mid in my opinion

[rustic acorn]

it´s what is missing to perfection

[deft onyx]

1k soft attack is needed trust

Totally not overkill

[neat widget]

motorized recon literally does nothing

[deft onyx]

True

[neat widget]

except if you go for assault infantry, in which case it gives less breakthrough than just using tank recon

and often less breakthrough than armored car recon

[deft onyx]

Its budget for assualt inf

[deft onyx]

Armoured car meta when?

[neat widget]

Budget but not really budget, all I have to do is make a light tank that costs less than 4.5 ic and then it's beat

[deft onyx]

Mhm

[neat widget]

Ideally you'd use medium flame tanks but yeah fair

also probably replace one of your artilleries with something like hospitals, logistics, or armored signals

[deft onyx]

Yeah i just forgor medium tanks existed during the time I made that

[deft onyx]

Mhmmm i ususually do that now

I just dug that up

[dawn dove]

hm

[deft onyx]

From september

[dawn dove]

i did miss the flame tanks

ill have to make those

[neat widget]

light flame tanks are useful for paratroopers or if you are like trying to buff a unit that is like 1000 ic total

[deft onyx]

Yeah

I use mediums now

Because they are better

But i used light before because i liked to mass produce them

And slam them into infantry

[neat widget]

Light tank recon can be really cheap

cost should be 4.48 * 24 = 107.5 for the light tank recon

[deft onyx]

Yeah

Thoughts on this naval battle btw?

[neat widget]

Yeah if you ever have to deal with the Czech forts and the Maginot early you might have to do that

[deft onyx]

I broke through the maginot using only infantry

Because of flame tanks

They are so peak

[neat widget]

Yeah

[deft onyx]

No flame tanks = not good tank template

[nocturne cloak]

Hey... @gentle crest It wasnt me...

Hey... @stoic charm It wasnt me...

[lapis estuary]

Yo, I was playing as Romania. My friend and I were fighting France when USSR js puppeted me out of nowhere, without a war or anything like that. Are there like scripted events for this or?

[leaden jay]

can my infantry convoys be sunk without the enemy having naval superiority?

[tribal stratus]

Sea lion not working bro, how do I get the British to stop defending south London?

[wintry kernel]

its my 4th time playing ethiopia i succesfully defended against the italians but iw was very late since the sultan declared independence and i could not reclaim my empire because they joined the allies i tried to attack it but i got destroyed by the allies i did a good defence tho untill i capitulated any tips?

im kinda new to the game too

[leaden jay]

nice

[tribal stratus]

There’s literally nothing I can do

In the middle of the war with the Soviets too, it’s only August 1940 and I have Moscow but wtf do I do

Also straight out of man power

[wintry kernel]

T h i hoped the axis do smth but what did i expected when i literally destroyed italy😭

[tribal stratus]

If anyone could help it would be appreciated

Because this might be my first 100% world run

[vital geode]

You need oil

[tribal stratus]

It’s not about that, I’m out of man power regardless.

[vital geode]

What are you consuming fuel on

[tribal stratus]

I have the necessary plans.

[vital geode]

What is your recruitment law

[tribal stratus]

Nothing really, I guess I’m doing an infantry only build with planes and some motorized infantry

[tribal stratus]

Base? Idk should I change it I rarely mess with that

[vital geode]

You are on limited?!

[tribal stratus]

I don’t have any resources anyway since my trade routes are fried

[vital geode]

Get to extensive conscription

[tribal stratus]

Don’t have the political power

I should have earlier, it was dumb.

[vital geode]

You only suffer penalties service by requirement and after

[tribal stratus]

That’s not my problem though, I can disband a few units if I have to

The issue is how do I get dominance over the Uk southern England?

I have probably 3,000 planes

[vital geode]

Use your air force when you have oil

3000 is nothing

[tribal stratus]

How would I get oil, as Germany with all my trade wiped out

[vital geode]

You take the Caucuses and trade with Romania/Iran

If Iran flipped, then you just trade with Romania

[tribal stratus]

I just traded with Iran, but there’s no way to get instant superiority or something

[vital geode]

Or you spam refineries

[vital geode]

Iran is a land route

There should be no issues

[tribal stratus]

I mean over London, I thought you could glitch it. To where if you held ur Air Force

You’d be able to

I guess that’s parhced

Parhced

Patched

[vital geode]

Well, the UK was smart and put up its airforce

So no drop for you

Also paradrops on England always results in your paratroopers getting shredded

[tribal stratus]

I know. I landed a few

[vital geode]

What is the status of the Eastern Front?

[tribal stratus]

Going decent, Moscow taken.

[vital geode]

Finish the Soviets, then turn to the UK

[tribal stratus]

Only 55% capitulation though less probably

[vital geode]

Take the caucuses

Fall Blau

Case Blue

[tribal stratus]

will America automatically join in at 1941? Even if I’m not aligned with Japan?

[vital geode]

Get the oil

[vital geode]

Yep

[tribal stratus]

when in 1941, it’s August 1940 currently

[vital geode]

Japan declares on the US and Allied colonies, bringing the US into the allies

What is the status of the kriegsmarine

[tribal stratus]

shit I’m bad with navy

Nothing

[vital geode]

You might have more luck with a naval invasion

Do you have a surface fleet

Or is it gone

[tribal stratus]

In the channel?

I have the base fleet I assume

[vital geode]

Okay, it can work

[tribal stratus]

I just assigned some admirals

[vital geode]

Dont use it now

[tribal stratus]

Hoped for the best

[vital geode]

Because you have no fuel

You are not going to cap the UK before the US joins

[tribal stratus]

I know.

[vital geode]

So just focus on the Soviets

[tribal stratus]

Alright then, thank you.

[vital geode]

And maybe get a small D-Day wall and garrison Italy

[tribal stratus]

I’ll push down south and try to capitulate fast

[vital geode]

Italy has a bad habit of dying

[tribal stratus]

yeah I know, they are always useless

sad

[vital geode]

Push from Moscow to Rostov by following the railroads

And encircle Ukraine

You can also go directly to Stalingrad

Your choice

[tribal stratus]

I’ll try that. Thank you.

[vital geode]

Also use field marshal frontlines

[tribal stratus]

I have Finland in my faction strangely enough

Really, why?

[vital geode]

Select the field marshal and hold left shift when you click

[tribal stratus]

Does it make any difference

I thought it made virtually no difference

[vital geode]

It will equally distribute all troops under 1 frontline

[tribal stratus]

Aha.

Alright

[vital geode]

Make sure you delete all frontlines before that

[tribal stratus]

Yeah I will thanks

[celest quartz]

Yo

I need guide lol just downloaded the game today

im kinda getting overwhelmed to how much sheesh there is on the game LMFAO

any advice on how I can learn faster

[vital geode]

Watch the pinned tutorial and play the in game tutorial

[celest quartz]

theres an in game tutorial?

[vital geode]

Yeah

It isnt great, but it is a start

If you have By Blood Alone, turn it off

Makes the tutorial not as painful

[celest quartz]

where do I find the tutorial cuz it kinda put me straight to a country HAHAHAHAH

[vital geode]

That's the point

You play Italy for the tutorial

[celest quartz]

ah the useless one

joke

HAHAHAHHA

[vital geode]

It gives you advice on what to do

[celest quartz]

oooh I see noice

[vital geode]

And how to do it

[celest quartz]

so thats the tutorial

i picked yugoslavia 😭

[vital geode]

Once you finish fighting Ethiopia, stop the tutorial and boot up a new Italy game that isnt the tutorial because the tutorial nerfs you

Wdym

There is literally a button called tutorial

How are you playing Yugoslavia

I think im blind

How well does it run Minecraft lol

[celest quartz]

minecraft is too expensive for me bro

[vital geode]

Because you are going to have a very long game if it struggles to run Minecraft

Bro

Minecraft is 27 USD, hoi4 with dlc is over 100

[celest quartz]

I only bought HOI4 cuz it had a discount and I couldn't miss the chance

[vital geode]

Nearing 200 probably

[junior rivet]

real, thats how i started

[celest quartz]

theres was a 70% discount bro, I couldn't let that pass

[vital geode]

Either case, game is going to run slow, but is playable

Basically watch the tutorial

Play the tutorial

[celest quartz]

like even if it doesn't run well, atleast if I get a new laptop I dont have to buy 2500 pesos for the game

[celest quartz]
