This is on the top of the map, close to Alaska

#

It doesn’t matter at all does it

rustic acorn
#

well, you beat the soviets. what will hinder you to beat the allies now?

tribal stratus
#

So a little worried still

#

Idk what to do really

rustic acorn
#

build CAS, CLs and DDs and invade GB

#

taking Africa takes centuries

#

work with your spies

tribal stratus
#

hmm

#

It’s 1941, strangely it’s historical and it’s late 1941

#

But USA hasn’t been called in

#

I did some wonky stuff idk I did different things at different times finlands in my faction etc

rustic acorn
#

so you still have a big one left

tribal stratus
#

The UK yeah

#

the issue is

#

I have no resources or manpower

#

And I don’t have enough political power to get the + 10% by requirement

rustic acorn
#

unhistorical decisions by players lead to unhistorical decisions at AI as well

tribal stratus
#

I know, but I didn’t stray far off really.

#

Strange

#

I’m out of resources fully

#

Out of manpower

rustic acorn
#

takes time to recover

tribal stratus
#

Will it recover itself since I own the Soviet Union or?

#

And military governor conspirtuob law is okay?

rustic acorn
#

it recovers always slowly

tribal stratus
#

Hmm alright

#

I couldn’t get any paratroopers down, I tried a few times it either dosent work or they get shredded

#

Naval invasion is impossible, I had supremacy for a few minutes but it was gone immediately after

rustic acorn
#

if you managed to drop them and they are shredded, you did it

#

naval sup is hard against Britain

tribal stratus
#

No but they immediately got killed

rustic acorn
#

if you drop them on others heads, threy will mostly die

#

only drop on empty tiles

tribal stratus
#

yeah that’s what occured

#

How do I know which are empty

#

Spies?

rustic acorn
#

spies, radar. otherwise only luck

#

in a way they are to be "consumed"

currently playing as Sinkiang, and im trying to declare war on Qinghai Ma Clique, but even after getting the war justification from my focus tree, i cant because of this reason. Its the same for other countries as well. neither country should be considered a major country, so is it because im currently in a faction with the soviet union??

Is there a preferred way to share/discuss a ship design? I'm punting around the idea of making a reduced-cost destroyer for Atlantic convoy escort (i.e. a fancy DDE).

So far, I'm staring at 1273 cost for engine I, torps I, dual-purpose II, AA II, sonar+depth III and seaplane II.

# fierce idol how do i optimise my production lines and fix my templates?

Regarding templates, make sure you have your defensive and offensive templates outfitted with suitable support companies for their task and an optimized width.

For production what I mean is that you research what you need in time so that your production lines have time to reach max efficiency.

For example making sure that you have researched everything you need for medium tanks early enough so you actually produce them in the required numbers instead of switching the line to an upgraded version right before start off ww2 and thus producing tanks at 20% capacity for the first year

Does upgrading the railway levels fix the lack of supply in some provinces of a state?. I always change it to trucks instead of the cavalry, and the infrastructure isn't that low.

foggy rune
#

as democratic germany how am I supposed to defend against Russia? they just have so many divisions that they overrun my entire frontline and I cant make a hole anywhere to get encirclements

#

I think I just don't understand combat in this game

#

I get my ass kicked in any war that's even close to even strength

#

I don't really get how to counter this when their divisions outnumber mine so much

#

I inflict double the casualties and they just don't care

light knoll
#

what division are you using?

#

as for terrain and supply, when you form defensive lines, try to use good terrain for defense, e.g. mountains, forests, behind rivers. and make sure its places where you have supply hub nearby, and bonus points if you can make it that you have supply but the enemy is stretching far from their supply lines and doesn't have supply

#

generally for defensive units you should use 16 width (8 battalions) infantry division, usually with engineering and artillery support companies, as your base template to hold the line

foggy rune
#

my supply was good, I got good advice on that here last time I lost

#

and I had 8 inf, 2 artillery, and engineer support as my divisions

light knoll
#

yeah that's not good

#

don't use line artillery

#

only support

foggy rune
#

oh ok

#

just for defense or at all?

light knoll
#

at all

#

also forgot to mention, use anti air, that is super important

#

that could be a huge reason to why you're losing

#

especially if you don't have good airforce of your own

foggy rune
#

that was probably a big part of it, I don't really understand air or naval

#

although if this game is evidence of anything it's that I don't really understand land either lol

I've tried to watch videos to help learn but a lot of them are either outdated or assume you have basic knowledge and move too quickly

you should take a quick look at this https://youtu.be/QvHT121_lWQ
you seem to be quite lost (and that's ok, there's a lot of information to deal with). skip the parts you already know of

don't hesitate to pause the game and take a look at stuff, hover over icons and stats and it'll show you a tooltip. Take your time and you'll do fine

foggy rune
#

I often find with the tooltips, I understand the information, but not how to fix it

#

for example

#

before the war with Russia dragged me into it, I was pushing into Italy. a lot of their ground is really good defensively

#

so I understand that I'm at a major disadvantage, but not how to lessen it

dusty sandal
# foggy rune so I understand that I'm at a major disadvantage, but not how to lessen it

combat revolves essentially around division templates and equipment

the stat part is explained by segl in his vid here #ask-for-help-here message
basically, you want batter equipment for more stats.

Then there are modifiers : mountaineers will have more stats in mountains than infantry, infantry will have more than cavalry, cavalry will have more than tanks etc.
same thing with rivers, forests, hills and cities. Different units are best in different situations.

To smooth things out, there are support companies that add specific buffs (segl also has a video with tierlist and explaination of each one of them). For example, flame tanks, recon rangers and engineers support companies will reduce some terrain penalities when added to a division, no matter the units in them

foggy rune

OK thanks so much for all your help. I'll watch some videos and give it another go. You guys are awesome

# foggy rune Also I have at least stopped overstacking and I've gotten much better with suppl...

that's good progress
also, I see in your screenshot that you don't have air superiority. While this can be a viable strategy, you should always be ready to contest enemy air when playing a major country. Now in any case, you should basically always have at least an anti-air support company in your divisions. To give you an idea of how important this is : anything can be pushed with about anything if you have enough close air support planes and air supremacy. Now with a single AA support compny you reduce damage inflicted onto your division by enemy air by 75%. all for about 70 cost (that's less than 1/10th of a small division cost)

foggy rune
#

Yeah I had zero consideration for air which was probably a large part of my problems

extend maginot - put half of one army on maginot (18w infantry is fine) put second half at south in italy border. Make a frontline with your attacking armies at belgium Do not advance into belgium until germany captrures it Then advance with your attacking armies (either 36w inf or tanks with 36w)

thats like really oversimplified explanation

If you get red bubbles at maginot or italy just put some extra few 18w inf there

sleek current
#

mystic otter
marble solstice

#

As Germany?

open radish
marble solstice
#

Use mediums

#

they are better

mystic otter
# open radish Yes

You should have a medium you even have focus to let you get them early

open radish
mystic otter
marble solstice
mystic otter
#

Or was it medium

sleek current
#

is it normal for a mod to crash when i first try to use it

mystic otter

#

All DLCs

mystic otter
#

Can you use the sniping tool?

open radish
#

What?

marble solstice
mystic otter
open radish
mystic otter
# sleek current hmm

In the paradox launcher
If the mod has a yellow/red mark it mean it's not up to date

mystic otter
#

If you don't like to use tanks
You can go down the infantry path of the army

#

Prussian legacy i think it's name on the left side

sleek current
#

does this mean up to date

tepid umbra
#

idk but it should be up to date

mystic otter
open radish
mystic otter
#

Or rely on battle planing in general

open radish
#

Actually, a lot KEKW KEKW

mystic otter
# open radish Kinda

You should use of 18width inf to hold
And have a small amount of 36 width inf for offense
Break the enemy at certain point and encircle them

inner sparrow
#

battleplanning isnt bad, u can beat 99% of hoi4 players and 100% ai with a proper battleplan build

sleek current
#

i have come to the decision that the mod will not work so i will be uninstalling it

inner sparrow
#

only issue is u have to not suck at eco management

#

and production

#

its easy tho

#

esp as germany

mystic otter
mystic otter
open radish
inner sparrow
#

straight up fool proof

mystic otter
#

Maybe 40 to 41

inner sparrow
mystic otter
open radish
#

I tought the higher the width, higher the deaths

open radish
inner sparrow
mystic otter
#

Or that how the math is i think

#

Correct me if i am wrong

mystic otter
open radish
mystic otter
#

To give them some hp and org

inner sparrow
#

take out tripple aa in template

mystic otter
#

In tanks you should focus on breakthrough and soft attack

inner sparrow
#

only needed in mp

mystic otter
#

A standard tank should better for him to understand hows first dont you think?

inner sparrow
#

I mean spg is just thanos in singleplayer and its not too hard to change the role of the tanks

#

its like two clicks

tepid umbra
inner sparrow
open radish
tepid umbra
mystic otter
open radish
tepid umbra
#

use tds

inner sparrow
#

u only use the tds for french tanks

open radish
#

And thanks again for the 36w inf. @mystic otter how much art do you usually use on them?

inner sparrow
#

bro wants to teach me mp while having 0 mutuals so ik ur no hand no front

mystic otter
#

Pure 36 inf

#

With signals and support aa

#

Flame tanks

#

And idk what else

mystic otter
#

36 pure inf have so much hp and org you simply outlast your enemy
Remember to take grand assualt and large unit tactics in your sub doctrine

tepid umbra
inner sparrow
tepid umbra
inner sparrow
#

theres like 15 comp servers and 5 from these have actual good players

mystic otter
#

@open radish if you need any more advice just ping me

inner sparrow
#

again spgs are good for dday, they are good for el ala aswell and africa larping

#

u only need tds for dday against french tanks

#

barb is another story and also on barb current meta is base heavy for max break, ger could do tds for barb but sovs can’t

inner sparrow
#

bc u can’t even click a plane tile with less than 1.8k break in base template

open radish
#

I will actually test them pretty soon

#

Im in the middle of a MP

#

Atm i need help with good tanks

#

Cuz im facing 2 major nation soon

inner sparrow
#

as what nations are u playing?

boreal pecan
#

inner sparrow
boreal pecan
#

I hate having to play when game goes to 4am

inner sparrow
mystic otter
#

I mostly play sp

inner sparrow
inner sparrow
#

and we do accept new players but u have to play beginner nations first and if u played well u can play higher

neat widget
mystic otter
inner sparrow
#

I didn’t go into sp and made one myself, too lazy

#

but yeah assault would be better

inner sparrow
#

for majors you have to play more and join as coops first

mystic otter
inner sparrow
#

4hours roughly

mystic otter
#

Also sorry if i am asking to many questions :P

inner sparrow
#

depends how many terrorists that perma disconnect are in the lobby

inner sparrow
mystic otter
#

That 4h time i csn actually join
Although i need to try and play more minor most of my main time in the game have been with Germany ussr and usa

inner sparrow
#

theres a lot of country guides for mp on the server if u never played nations

#

so new players can get the hang of the nations they play

mystic otter
#

I will check them up thanks

inner sparrow
#

np

boreal pecan
#

when do games happen

open radish
inner sparrow
#

boreal pecan

mystic otter
open radish
inner sparrow
inner sparrow

boreal pecan
inner sparrow
#

tho I don’t recommend doing mediums

neat widget
#

medium tds on mech wall though?

#

I forgot they were banned on coastline in rb

boreal pecan
#

I could probably play like bulgaria in a mp game

#

I reckon thats easy

inner sparrow
inner sparrow
#

and most important

boreal pecan
#

whats easiest

#

hungary?

neat widget
inner sparrow
#

romania

boreal pecan
#

romania is just inf wall no

inner sparrow
#

and after hungary

inner sparrow
boreal pecan
#

and u dont build any tanks?

#

no planes?

inner sparrow
#

yeah only good tank nation in axis is germany

#

and air hungary doesn’t have the eco to build

boreal pecan
#

Could i play like

#

hmm

#

Like south africa or something

#

Or canada

inner sparrow
#

canada is usually ac in our lobbies and hard to play bc brazil ac is banned but saf yeah

boreal pecan
#

Whats ac

inner sparrow
#

air controller

boreal pecan
#

what does that do

inner sparrow
#

u send all the air your faction produces to that nation and he controls all the air

#

usually the nation with best air buffs

boreal pecan
#

So canada is just boring air micro

#

Okay

inner sparrow
#

yes

boreal pecan
#

Raj is hard ?

inner sparrow
#

one of the harder ones but fun

#

u have to hold against japan so it becomes hard ofc

#

but its strong

boreal pecan
#

What do u recommend for mp noobs

inner sparrow
#

smaller inf nations till u know the basics and from there play whatever u want

#

hungary is good and fun, saf is nice

boreal pecan
#

ive seen the mods people play with for mp

inner sparrow
#

brazil aswell

boreal pecan
#

Theres like

#

new artilleries

#

Pack arty

#

stuff like that

inner sparrow
#

yeah those arent vanilla base mods

#

like tfb or horst

boreal pecan
#

rb is vanilla based?

inner sparrow
#

yes

boreal pecan
#

ok

#

Thats nice

neat widget
#

Yeah RB doesn't use those mods

boreal pecan
#

Do you know any servers that host earlier than 7-8?

inner sparrow
#

we play hmm that doesn’t change anything when it comes to combat and divisions

neat widget
#

Wonder if you have tried those mods though

boreal pecan
#

All the ones i know do this time and i would need to leave like 1hour before end of game

boreal pecan
inner sparrow
#

and arent that competitive

boreal pecan
#

hm hm

inner sparrow
mystic otter
inner sparrow
#

overall fun if u like bloat

boreal pecan
#

mp just feels like bloat with those mods

inner sparrow
boreal pecan
#

6 diff type of artillery

Too little air and no tanks

The continuous focus

Is there another way

inner sparrow

against ai its fine

neat widget
#

lend leasing to your overlord plus fighting in wars gives you autonomy

leaden cargo

but if I want to do tanks, air is king

inner sparrow

but its ai so ur fine

#

just worse than not doing air

swift burrow
inner sparrow
#

ur gonna win anyways with a good build and decent tanks

swift burrow

Say france falls and Syria is under Vichy France

Could I use spies to infiltrate Syria and get it independent and invade it to take it?

do the rightmost political branch (democracy) and get volunteer spirit then send volunteers to both spain and china
