[inner sparrow]

but u cant afford to do ahead of time in early game

[swift burrow]

I don't even have inf 1

[inner sparrow]

with 2 reserch slots

[inner sparrow]

🥀

[swift burrow]

I have 1 factory going to consumer goods

[bronze grove]

I really liked doing the reverse anchluss as austria before gotterdamerung, dlc kills any fun with 50% nothing burger 50% broken focuses

[swift burrow]

So no factory

Should I prioritize civ or mil

[bronze grove]

inf 36 has double the attack as prewar inf equipment

[swift burrow]

Ight

[bronze grove]

best combat tech to rush in this game is infantry equipment

best industry tech is cap

[swift burrow]

Ight thanks

[swift burrow]

And to add on this should I start with with Political, Industrial, or one of the military efforts

[bronze grove]

you should get the volunteer spirit before spanish civil war

[swift burrow]

So rush political down to Foreign Expedition but make a military

[bronze grove]

It is better to rush getting mil factories from focus tree but since you have 0 civilian factories to import steel get 1 civilian available for trade and rush mils

[swift burrow]

Ight

So get 1 civ, rush mil then get volunteers

Although I need 30 divisions

And WT at 50

Do I go fascist get the Volunteer Rule+ the recruitable population?

[bronze grove]

It will about 3x70=210 days to get the Interventionism focus https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/707305236900872233/1455681570747846676/image0.jpg?ex=69559c9b&is=69544b1b&hm=70733cbad3e264a7af10c1471c8130abb60bef3e07c73adad692fdc637171ceb&

[swift burrow]

Ight

And then get Industrial?

Again sorry to repeat where am I getting 30 divisions from

[bronze grove]

[swift burrow]

Thank you

[bronze grove]

create a new inf division with only 1 battalion (it costs 5 xp)

spam as many of them as possible then send you can send better divs to spain

[swift burrow]

Where am I getting mil xp

[bronze grove]

advisor

[swift burrow]

Ight

Oh it's 50 pp that's so good

[bronze grove]

get the attack advisor if possible

[swift burrow]

Ight

[bronze grove]

you may want to flip communist so you can get the marx portrait army spirit and get 500 men weekly

[vital plinth]

Hey I’m new first game I tried tutorial but it was useless

I’m playing as Italy and wondering what is division still preparing? If I madness plan and offensive line , but don’t click the green arrow to attack does it mean the army is still preparing ?

[bronze grove]

population of lebanon is so small your recruitment laws won't matter at all

[swift burrow]

That's gonna take so long

But sure

[swift burrow]

It might take until the Spanish civil war starts to flip communist then to get down the focus

[heady mesa]

im playing as italy and despite having spare fighters and naval bombers (in the logistics tab) I cant create air wings in my aircraft carrier and cant move existing ones to the carrier either. what could be the issue?

[bronze grove]

carrier planes are another airframe then the normal

[swift burrow]

It might be like late 1936 by then

[marble solstice]

Is this good? Im trying to help italy in africa but theres rlly low supply in alot of spaces which is slowing down my advance

[heady mesa]

green arrow near on top of army leader portrait?

[swift burrow]

I hate to keep asking but what should I spend my pp on

[bronze grove]

army advisor then communist advisor

then silent workhorse (15% pp gain)

[swift burrow]

Wait

Communist can't send volunteers

Only fascist and democratic

[bronze grove]

your first priority is getting independent first

[swift burrow]

So hire communist but don't go the Communist path

I meant communist

What is wrong with me today

[bronze grove]

you are going for democratic path but flipping communist later for marx portrait and manpower gain

[swift burrow]

Alright

Alright what do I do about needing 50% WT

[bronze grove]

is there any faction rule about it?

[swift burrow]

Nah it's democratic

[bronze grove]

you can reduce war justification limit and guarantee limit with faction rules. Idk about a volunteer one

[swift burrow]

Democratic countries need 50% WT

[bronze grove]

I meant is as the allies faction rule

[vital plinth]

Yup

[swift burrow]

Not in the allies yet

[vital plinth]

But in tutorial the green arrow sometimes changed between greens yellow and red

[swift burrow]

There are 2 focuses that could make it 11 divs needed and 45% WT needed

[bronze grove]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/707305236900872233/1455686179360866355/AISelect_20251231_011518_Firefox.jpg?ex=6955a0e6&is=69544f66&hm=f4e3facf4e5f8a832071f99f885edd00f910cd9afb7b3a30104e56c08c12ab7f&

best puppet to get independent as a small nation is new Zealand becaue of this focus

[swift burrow]

Might try that but since Lebanon is my home country I'm gonna try to make it work

[bronze grove]

I don't exactly know how you can get around the world tension requirements

[swift burrow]

Theres a focus that lowers it by 10%

Does it make it 40% or 45%

[edgy mesa]

if i edit this does it edit all deployed aswell?

[swift burrow]

Yes

You have to duplicate it

For it to not

[lone sigil]

you dont have to

[bronze grove]

they made it so world tension spikes much lower and it is max 35% before germany starts the ww2

[lone sigil]

oh

[edgy mesa]

i wanted it to i heard it was a good idea to make 24 width

[lone sigil]

are you using tanks

[bronze grove]

it would be 40 but I don't think it would be enough

[swift burrow]

Duplicate it, make the div you want and change a few divisions to it

[edgy mesa]

nope

[swift burrow]

I feel like going fascist would've been a better idea

I don't need a WT limit for that

[lone sigil]

then it should owork but get cas

[bronze grove]

you wouldn't be able to justify since you are a puppet

[swift burrow]

But it would've taken a lot longer

[edgy mesa]

cas?

[swift burrow]

No volunteers

[lone sigil]

close air support

[swift burrow]

As fascist

[edgy mesa]

ah

[lone sigil]

it help you pushing

also get normal fighters

[swift burrow]

Down the fascist path (sorry for no screenshot I don't have discord on my laptop)

[lone sigil]

you just need the browser

for discord

[swift burrow]

Yeah but I honestly don't feel like it

[bronze grove]

well I didn't knew this existed, you can go this path since it is certainly better than the democratic

[swift burrow]

Ight

[bronze grove]

but you won't be able to spike world tension by going fascist since you are a puppet

[swift burrow]

Does the focus order change to doing industrial until I flip fascist then go down to this?

[swift burrow]

It doesn't matter if I'm fascist cause I don't need WT to send volunteers

[bronze grove]

oh that's nice

well you should certainly rush for militarism 4x70 = 280 days from day 1

[swift burrow]

But if I go fascist I won't get those division discounts but what does that matter that's a very slight gun and manpower increase

[swift burrow]

Yeah but I do need to flip fascist first

[bronze grove]

you can flip faster with decision tab

[swift burrow]

Ight

[swift burrow]

I won't be able to flip before the second focus so I'm gonna do the Industrial ones until I flip fascist

[tiny bough]

My units are bugged out, they can't leave a tile, is there a known fix for this?

[bronze grove]

"Nationalism Focus" gives +0.10 daily fascism and
Military youth gives flat 20% fascism instantly

[swift burrow]

But I need to be fascist for Collectivist ethos

Wait I don

Wait I do

[bronze grove]

Oh yeah lebanon starts democratic

so you should pick +0.10 daily fascism advisor as your first pp pick

[swift burrow]

Ight

[vital plinth]

Hey can someone help me on trying to move some division under a army but they won’t move are entrinched but won’t move I tried cancel all orders and eveything but they won’t move

[lost harbor]

what do I do here?

[swift burrow]

Should I open up political discourse afterwards or get the Mil guy

[bronze grove]

https://hoi4.paradoxwikis.com/Lebanese_Republic there is a communist lebanon guide here

[swift burrow]

Well I need to flip fascist first

And for that should I open up political discourse or hire a military expert

[bronze grove]

I am not sure what you can do as a minor nation with 1m population without weekly manpower from flipping communist

[swift burrow]

Well you can't send volunteers

And I kinda need that for independence

I need to flip communist after becoming fascist

[bronze grove]

this guide talks about invading france idk how that is feasible

as a 1 state nation you can't trigger civil war unfortunately

[swift burrow]

What's more important for me rn Mil Xp or Fascist support

I got the fascist advisor

Do I need to get the Mil Xp now or wait to open up the political decisions

[bronze grove]

switching ideology asap is more important

[swift burrow]

Ight

So open the decisions

Wait I don't need to get a mil Advisor

The militarism focus gives me mil xp

[bronze grove]

Can you trigger civil war as a nation with 1 state?

[swift burrow]

No unfortunately

[swift burrow]

Should I do -10% democracy with a -1% immediate stability loss or or 0.02 fascist with 3% Weekly Stability loss across 30 days

Fascism is at 16 while democracy is at 46

[bronze grove]

-10 democracy sounds neat

[swift burrow]

Ight

[heady mesa]

yes, its not an arrow. It changes whether the plan is to advantage or no. Click it to execute the assigned plan.

[edgy mesa]

can i delete the offense order and make a new one? ik i can but is it a good idea

[bronze grove]

I think it is specific to democratic nation otherwise that decision hurts your stability much more

[swift burrow]

Yeah that's -1% stability tjo

[bronze grove]

you can just select a divison and right click, you know

[swift burrow]

For -10% Democracy

[heady mesa]

@vital plinth click on the "arrow" to execute the plan

[bronze grove]

there is no reason to kill fellow germans sincd you will inherit the manpower and equipment

[heady mesa]

the one above general portrait

[swift burrow]

I got weapons 1

Should I keep going getting 1938 and 1939 guns

[vital plinth]

I’ve done it but what is preparation stuff I have penalty how do I fix that ?

[swift burrow]

Or switch to like something else

Because I don't have support researched

[edgy mesa]

you mean i shouldnt have an offense line

[heady mesa]

it could be that your divisions didnt reach the frontline yet

[bronze grove]

inf II (39) is such a big buff

[heady mesa]

if its not that, theyre probably preparing

[swift burrow]

So just go ahead of time

Holy shit that's 6.1 Soft to 9 soft

[bronze grove]

it is always a top priority if you are a nation that has research bonus for it as a nation

[foggy rune]

what's a good base infantry template?

[swift burrow]

Rn I got a 100% boost of industry

[foggy rune]

I'm playing democratic germany

[swift burrow]

Should I just get construction I

[bronze grove]

arty 36 = 25 soft
arty 39 = 30 soft (20%) increase

inf 36 = 6 soft
ind 39 = 9 soft (50% increase)

[normal axle]

i'm playing USA oct 1937 rn, how do I get my war support up? I have an attache to China, and world tension is at 9%. I have 18/30% i need for giant wakes, which is frustrating. Is there anything more I can do, or do I just wait till world tension rises more?

[swift burrow]

Yeah that's a big buff

[bronze grove]

you aren't building anything really, getting concentrated and + production cap is much better

[swift burrow]

So should I get mechanical computing and wait until I get the research boosts or immediately go ahead of time?

[heady mesa]

oh so i need another aircraft?

Do i edit aircraft in production menu like ships?

[bronze grove]

yes and another production line

[heady mesa]

oh okay

thank you for your help

[bronze grove]

check airplane tab and find the "light carrier airframe"

[bronze grove]

there is really no point in researching research bonus tech ahead of time

[swift burrow]

It's in time

It's 1936 Research Bonus

It's the 4% one

[bronze grove]

that's neat to get it but did you get concentrated 1?

[swift burrow]

Not yet

I accidentally went electronic engineering instead of Basic Machine tools

[bronze grove]

ok you can get it after that

[swift burrow]

Rn what should I go for

Support?

[bronze grove]

inf, cap, concentrated. rest is up to you

[swift burrow]

I don't have support equipment researched

[bronze grove]

you could get it

[vital plinth]

Hey I’m trying to get these people to Ethiopia but they won’t travel first they jsut stand still but when I march in main land they go there but they won’t show arrow to Ethiopia only my tank and Calvary division goes there
What am I’m doing wrong ?

The mouse say arrival is 18 days but when I click nothing happens

[bronze grove]

select all of them and assign them to a frontline order by ctrl+click

they will move automatically

[heady mesa]

The army theyre assigned to has no orders

make one

[vital plinth]

I pressed right click

Isn’t it enough ?

[heady mesa]

if theres nothing above general this means his army has no orders

[dark thunder]

No, you need to make a frontline.

[vital plinth]

Only my tanks follow there with right click
But the rest only move in main land with right click

[bronze grove]

This is such a less than 60 minutes of game hour question you should honestly watch some youtube

[dark thunder]

Hey man they are trying

[vital plinth]

I jsut watched 2 hours buddy not eveything is mentioned

[dark thunder]

But yeah, you need to make a frontline in Ethiopia, that will put units on that border and you can start with war stuff.

[civic garden]

Japan might do its focus that gives you some war support; Panay incident can give you some if you demand compensation unless they changed it; and if you're willing to restart, doing Selective Service when your war support is below 10% will bump your base war support up to 10% (it starts at 0)

[swift burrow]

I did the civ factory focus but I didn't get the factory

[vital plinth]

I have 2 armies pushing and learned from video to use planes and invade

I didn’t know why some of my other army wouldn’t move I thought you use right click to move troops @bronze grove but thx for the other advice il try make front 👍

[vital plinth]

👍

[civic garden]

Idk how flying tigers work with new Chinese focus trees but I think dispatching them gives you +5%

[bronze grove]

one more

consumer goods 🥀

[swift burrow]

Bruh

All my homies hate consumer goods

But 35% of 2 still leaves me 1 factory

[dark thunder]

You can make a frontline to have troops automatically protect border, and clicking a unit and right click to manually move it. This is really helpful when you want to attack a specific unit like for example with your tanks.

[swift burrow]

And it still says I have 1 factory on screen

[bronze grove]

are you a integrated puppet? maybe it goes to overlord

[swift burrow]

No I'm colony

[civic garden]

Right-click will move your troops to a place they can move "directly". So either land-continuous, or port-to-port. If you really don't want to make frontlines (and frontlines are the right way to do this, but eh) you can right-click the nearest port, then when they get there right-click a port in Ethiopia, then when they get there right-click the place you actually want them to be

[swift burrow]

I just a -12% stability thing for fascist support

Should I hit it again

Or should I raid non aligned

For extra stability and more fascist

[civic garden]

Those decisions are usually not worth the political power imo

[vital plinth]

I made front will try see if it works it was only my Calvary and tanks that would Travel from main land to Ethiopia by sea rest stood still but will try see how it goes

[swift burrow]

Ight

It was -3% weekly across 30 days

[civic garden]

Probably because those divisions happened to be in ports already

[vital plinth]

Any idea where I can find the news ? A sultan state I made demand to subjecate to me but dunno if it happend or not news said they did agree but nothing else happend

[vital plinth]

No they just standing here haha

At border of France

I pressed cancel all orders etc

[civic garden]

As in, the cav and tanks start the game in ports, so they moved when you right-clicked Ethiopian ports

[swift burrow]

Wait I just got the factory

[vital plinth]

But they wouldn’t move with right click haha but now they moving with making front line so thx 👍

[swift burrow]

52 days after doing the focus

[vital plinth]

Oh ok so they have to march to port and then to Ethiopia if I do with right click ?

[bronze grove]

he needs to switch asap

[civic garden]

Did the factory appear in a non-core state? Who are you playing as anyway?

[swift burrow]

Lebanon

[civic garden]

Ah, I'm missing context then?

[swift burrow]

It appeared in my only state

50 days after doing the focus

I think the game needs time to add the factory to my country

Or it's bugged

[civic garden]

Strange

[swift burrow]

Or I'm dumb

[civic garden]

(Lebanon's only state is a core, right?)

[swift burrow]

Yeah

[civic garden]

Like sometimes in my experience it takes a day or a week or so for the game to realize there's a new factory, but not 50 days

[heady mesa]

@vital plinth this tutorial helped me a lot

https://youtu.be/sVss1eOZwpw?si=_4zoMTaovYN1feDc

and its short

[swift burrow]

Yeah this video is so good

[heady mesa]

the channel has some other great tutorials

[mellow helm]

Hello im new to HOI4

[swift burrow]

Hello

[swift burrow]

I finished a 70 day focus and it still didn't realize I had a factory

[civic garden]

And you've confirmed that it didn't just become a consumer goods factory?

[swift burrow]

It was a mil factory that I built

[vital plinth]

Thx guys for the help appreciate it

[swift burrow]

The first factory I built appeared 79 days after I finished the focus

The second appeared 9 days after I finished the focus

[heady mesa]

did you watch the tutorial?

[civic garden]

So you're saying they appeared on the same day?

[swift burrow]

Yeah

[civic garden]

OK, I'm still not sure what's going on but that's probably a clue

[swift burrow]

2 weeks this time

[mellow helm]

Hello!

[swift burrow]

What do you need help with

[mellow helm]

Everything

Im very new

[swift burrow]

There are very good tutorials on YouTube

[vital plinth]

Im finishing my war in Ethiopia winning now after 3 tries then il watch it , since i have no how to make war 😂

[swift burrow]

A lot of those Could really help

[mellow helm]

Any videos you specifically recommend

[heady mesa]

https://youtu.be/sVss1eOZwpw?si=_4zoMTaovYN1feDc

army tutorial

very good

[swift burrow]

Bitter steel made a 1h long Germany tutorial

[heady mesa]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WCqXIRRVZIY

official tutorial

[mellow helm]

How long that vid will be

[heady mesa]

I recommend watching while playing

[swift burrow]

1h long

[heady mesa]

and doing what they say

[mellow helm]

Ok

[neat widget]

With the disclaimer that you should generally micro

[heady mesa]

so like they talk abiut factories - you go check out factories

[swift burrow]

Another very rewarding thing to do is play Bulgaria and go for Balkan Problem solved

Not the hardest thing the world

Antasil has a great video on that

[mellow helm]

Whats the easiest country to start with

[swift burrow]

Germany

[mellow helm]

Ok

[heady mesa]

yeah

just dont go fight allies

you wont do it

wait for allies to fight ussr

then help allies

[mellow helm]

Ok

[swift burrow]

I could say something like Bulgaria or Romania or Czechoslovakia

But

Those aren't really the best first nations

[heady mesa]

theyre small

[mellow helm]

Ok

[swift burrow]

But very good beginner ones

[mellow helm]

What about the harder ones once i get good

[swift burrow]

Bulgaria can core Balkans without fighting a war

[swift burrow]

Luxembourg

[fathom thistle]

ethiopia :>

[swift burrow]

Aussa

[mellow helm]

Soviet union

[heady mesa]

Shanxi?

[swift burrow]

Sinkiang and go for Greater Mongolia

[heady mesa]

legit question, does micro mean giving small and quick orders to armies and constantly changing them or give orders to divisions rather armies

I have like 40 hrs and almost no experience with community so

[fathom thistle]

divisions one by one, mainly tanks to do encirclements

[bronze grove]

It is strange there is no gameplay for vanilla lebanon in youtube

[heady mesa]

thats gonna take so much time

[swift burrow]

Yeah

[bronze grove]

Tbh lebanon was added with graveyard of the empires

[vital plinth]

Quick question should I abandon naval treaties as Italy ?

[bronze grove]

no need for that

[swift burrow]

Without a focus 😭

[frail sigil]

Im struggling so hard on the japan democratic civil war. Is it meant to be a slog?

[swift burrow]

17 divisions is my max apparently

I need more manpower

[fathom thistle]

not necessarily once you have a frontline estabilshed, when you advance with tanks the rest of inf divison will advance behind the tanks to fill out the tiles, so you only need to make sure you have enough division to advance your conquered tiles by your tanks

[bronze grove]

You need to produce giga heavy battleships to exceed the cap by naval treaties

[fathom thistle]

Usually you have like 4 tanks divs to make those encirclements and the rest is your 16w or 18w infantry to cover the conquered tiles

[vital plinth]

I can do later too right ?

And just ignore the message if I don’t want to leave the treaty ?

[bronze grove]

yes

[swift burrow]

About to turn fascist

Oh I'm in the allies now

There we go I'm fascist

[bronze grove]

does allies effect volunteer sending capabilities?

[swift burrow]

No

[bronze grove]

I may do the lebanon challenge myself

[fathom thistle]

You can increase it with certain focuses but not by merily joining factions

[bronze grove]

You know allies restrict you from declaring wars etc.

[swift burrow]

Yeah Spanish civil war might end before I get to that focus

[bronze grove]

china

[swift burrow]

Ight

[fathom thistle]

At leasta I dindnt notice any faction focuses that can do that

[swift burrow]

I forgot about that honestly

[edgy mesa]

so i just took over germany as junta what div should i chaning my troops to

[bronze grove]

you can send attaches too for nice amounts of xp btw

[fathom thistle]

for pure infantry or do you also want tanks?

[swift burrow]

Who should I send attaches to

[bronze grove]

Japan

[swift burrow]

And does that increase my autonomy?

[bronze grove]

nope

btw you should send volunteers to japan

[swift burrow]

Ah damn

[neat widget]

Yeah

[swift burrow]

Once I get 30 divs

[edgy mesa]

idk if i want tanks they worth it?

[bronze grove]

killing divisions and and capturing victory points will give you nice amounts of war participation and autonomy

[swift burrow]

My divisions suck ass

[bronze grove]

since china is poor you can easily do whatever you want to them

[swift burrow]

It's 1 battalion

[fathom thistle]

for sp not really tbh, I can send ya template for pure infantry playthorugh

if u want

less production to deal with

[neat widget]

which country are you btw

[bronze grove]

he is lebanon

[neat widget]

ah I see

right

[swift burrow]

Which doctrine should I use

[bronze grove]

gbp/sfp

sfp is has more bonuses for defense

[swift burrow]

Imma get GBP

[fathom thistle]

sfp gives ya like 450 soft attack for your 36w inf division when you max out research

so yeah

[swift burrow]

I'm using 2w divisions

[fathom thistle]

huh?

[swift burrow]

I have no manpower

[wild rune]

Why??

[swift burrow]

I have no manpower and I'm Lebanon

I just need 30 divs

[fathom thistle]

https://tenor.com/view/sad-homelander-antony-starr-the-boys-upset-gif-26161757

[swift burrow]

Madrid looks like it's about to fall and I only have 17 divs

[fathom thistle]

few 36w division are better then dozen of 2w divs

same applies in bigger scale

[swift burrow]

I am aware but I need 30 divs like before now

[fathom thistle]

oh well..

[bronze grove]

he wants to send volunteers

[swift burrow]

Limited conscription might save me

Anschluss happened

I need 9k manpower and I need it Yesterday

[swift burrow]

Which Inf subdoctine do I get

For Gbp

[bronze grove]

best inf subdoctrine is the one with width reduction

I forgot the name

[fathom thistle]

He doesnt have the manpwoer already

he wont be able to fill out that width reduction

[edgy mesa]

in here i mostly just pick one should i just keep ignoring it or?

[bronze grove]

idk bro lebanon is rough honestly

[swift burrow]

I am aware

[bronze grove]

fk bigger airframes

[swift burrow]

7 more divisions needed

[fathom thistle]

If you dont have spare mp

[swift burrow]

I need 5mkre divisions

[swift burrow]

Should I force deploy

[bronze grove]

yesh

you will delete them when you send volunteers and convert volunteers to bigger ones

[edgy mesa]

when in war is it best to use offense line or just have a frontline and manually make them go into terri

[swift burrow]

To whom should I send volunteers

[vital plinth]

My units are advancing for some reason
It says organization is too low to advance any idea why ?

[swift burrow]

Because Org js low

[vital plinth]

Why is it low ?😅 i just made new battle front and front line and then after while they started to stop and get low organization

[swift burrow]

I ruined my run

I'm restarting

[swift burrow]

I actually don't know

[bronze grove]

japan

[swift burrow]

Alright

[bronze grove]

manchu

mengkukio

[swift burrow]

I deleted my army before I sent volunteers and I deserve it honestly

So I'm gonna quick restart

[bronze grove]

Everyone you can as long as you can convert enough of them to bigger templates

[swift burrow]

What template should I make after

[bronze grove]

9/0?

[swift burrow]

9 inf?

[bronze grove]

you can use tanks with your excess IC btw. I did a aussa tank challenge

[raven maple]

Hey can anyone give me some tips on how to beat Italy as Ethiopia

[swift burrow]

Idk what 9/0 means

[bronze grove]

9 inf 0 arty

[swift burrow]

Ight

[edgy mesa]

is this a good div?

[bronze grove]

common way to describe inf templates

[swift burrow]

Ight

[bronze grove]

nato symbols are worse than the segregation

[swift burrow]

Actual fact

[raven maple]

Italy just keeps sending relentless attacks it feels like I’m fight the Soviet Union

[edgy mesa]

wdym

[raven maple]

And they just keep breaking though my divisions

[bronze grove]

you can search Anti Air 39 and get "Improved Automatic Cannon" which uses 0 resources and has 20 soft 7 hard attack, really cool as a resource poor country

[vital geode]

You hold out until the Italians die

You arent counterattacking any time soon

Like maybe in 38

[raven maple]

Bru they break though before I can do that

[vital geode]

Lots of cycling of troops

Ever since the Aussa troops spawn ins, Ethiopia is pure pain

In the past it was quite trivial, but now it is David vs Goliath

[raven maple]

Yea sometimes before I can do rally behind the emperor they took my Provences in the south

[vital geode]

The South holds easily

You just need a fallback line

[raven maple]

I have a fall back line

[bronze grove]

ethiopia went from super easy to hard ever since they added world tension requirement to lend lease

[vital geode]

You might need another troop or two

[vital geode]

I never needed lend lease

2k guns every couple of weeks from the LoN is all you need

[bronze grove]

which path is that? historical?

[vital geode]

Yes

Boarding the Train

[raven maple]

It take months for the troops to train and you only get one from the decisions and change government

[vital geode]

You can also get 250 arty

I think

[bronze grove]

wow that's strong

[vital geode]

Or 100 something

It is quite good

[vital plinth]

Ok I restarted the game messed up totally I suck

1. My troops suddenly don’t attack when I make front line and battle line, only when I right click into enemy land they attack ( this happend when I got my first victory point)

It says organization too low idk maybe because I have no supply ?

2. When I won I somehow made truce with them and they got all their lands back lol

Guess I need to go bakx to watching guide just spent 4 hours watching and can’t figure much out still

[raven maple]

For the org thing did you move your troops a lot

[vital plinth]

I made my first front and battle front and it went fine then I think until I deleted old one and made new one and deleted that and made a new one again

[crystal fox]

gng the

for the front line

Above the general theres an arrow and a stop symbol

When you press said arrow they gonna execute any plans

(offensive lines, defending front lines)

[raven maple]

What he said

[vital plinth]

Yup pressed the green arrow to activate

But they jsut stand still

[crystal fox]

Uhhh

[swift burrow]

Did you draw an offensive line

[crystal fox]

A good ol' spanking oughta do it

[vital plinth]

and pin said organization is too low to move

[raven maple]

Should I go down boarding the train?

[vital plinth]

Yup

[crystal fox]

Well there's your problem ig

[crystal fox]

Yeah you need supplies gng

The attrition aint good

And on the east its the same

But i mean ethiopia is easy

and i started monday so

🤌

[raven maple]

Have you tried pinning attacks

[vital plinth]

Dont Think I know what that is

[swift burrow]

Multiple divisions attacking something

[raven maple]

Do you know what a pinning attack is

[vital plinth]

Yeah I did the right click with my division I gathered in one by holding left click

When I right click they attack

But some reason after k reached captial the front like with battle front didn’t work anymore

[raven maple]

Was the cap your goal

[vital plinth]

It was victory point yeah

[raven maple]

And you took it

[vital plinth]

Yup 👍

[raven maple]

You have to make another one then

[vital plinth]

But il try watch video other linked me earlier maybe il see what I’m doing wrong

[vital plinth]

Yeah I deleted on ones and made fortn line and battle front didn’t work unfortunately il see in the video what I’m doing wrong

[raven maple]

Ok luck to you then

[fathom thistle]

How the hell do I create militia?

If I'm country whiteout militias template

[bronze grove]

Isn't it communist specific

or something special like germany gets by getting SS

[fathom thistle]

Thats the thing I became communist so I can get that specific sub doctrine and hoiped that I will get free milita tempalte but i got nothing

So like if only contries that have already miliats template then the subdoctrines for miliias is pointless 😭

like cmon

[bronze grove]

larp battalion tbh

has lower org than standart inf iirc

[fathom thistle]

I wanted to use it for specific scenario but I guess I camt do it it lol.. Paradox at its peak 🔥

[edgy mesa]

what is this line?

[languid trout]

mountains

the alps

they are impassable

[edgy mesa]

aight

[languid trout]

same goes for sahara

[gusty arch]

The game prints a ? When I type or copy paste a # so I physically cannot target the bugged nation in the console

[edgy mesa]

so i cant make a hannibal?

[gusty arch]

I also tried doint shift +3 because the american keyboard has # there but instead it just printed the £ symbol, which is correct to my layout

[languid trout]

kinda

anything except trade and divisions can pass through those red lines

railways can pass through it

[bronze grove]

trying to annex?

[languid trout]

u cant pass through the sahara and taklamakan at all though

[bronze grove]

set_owner [yourself] so maybe it caps

[gusty arch]

Yes

[gusty arch]

Do I need to click it first?

[edgy mesa]

also is it a good idea to align italy or conquer?

[bronze grove]

yes

[languid trout]

conquer

[gusty arch]

I tried "ownershippaint" but that was frustrating bc they had troops

[languid trout]

free navy+their divs arent that strong

[gusty arch]

Ill try this tomorrow afrer I get some sleep

[edgy mesa]

is this good for attacking?

[languid trout]

not really

not only do u have to cross the alps to get into venice

[bronze grove]

blud 48 breakthrough

too low

[languid trout]

soft attack and breakthrough are low

[bronze grove]

infantry is never okay for offensive

they hold the line

[languid trout]

u should get some mountaineers

[edgy mesa]

what should i change this into then

[fathom thistle]

weird icons but you usually shouldf stick to 18w for defense and 36w for offense

[neat widget]

either increase it to 32-36 width with hospitals and signals or decrease it to 16-18 width and remove engineers

[edgy mesa]

alr so i need a army group thats def and one thats off is what iam getting at here is that right? and ill try to get it to 32-36

[pulsar wraith]

what about that? what should I change?

[edgy mesa]

wdym icons

[neat widget]

remove 4 artillery and add 6 infantry

[pulsar wraith]

wrong dms

[fathom thistle]

like those white icons, compared without mods, dont matter what was said already

[edgy mesa]

aight iam just waiting to get some more army xp

[fathom thistle]

train constantly and u good, the bigger the template the more u get

[edgy mesa]

can you send a pic of youre so i can cop for a bit

[fathom thistle]

my template u mean?

[edgy mesa]

yes

[fathom thistle]

big one for offensive small one for pure defense or holding lines

or ports

ngl I use the smaller ones for ports only

[edgy mesa]

do they automaticly use the lowest width for def?

[fathom thistle]

well no, like I said for anything else then defending port for naval invasion u want to stick to those 36w for frontlines

[edgy mesa]

aight

[sleek current]

why do i suck so bad at war (i can't take ethiopia as italy)

[fathom thistle]

usual;y I just train 18w and then convert it to 36w and and train it constantly

[edgy mesa]

but if i put them in the same army group wont they go to frontline?

[fathom thistle]

just bring all your armies to ethiopa even frome urope and make sure to assign planes to ethiopia

[sleek current]

okiedokie

[lament mason]

uhh how do I win the japanese civil war?

[fathom thistle]

They will. It's not as much as big issue. I just rather prefffer to convert all my frontline armies to the biiger 36w one so I get less casualties.

[edgy mesa]

aight thx

[mellow helm]

Just took over Switzerland and ethiopia

[fathom thistle]

More armies = doesnt equal bettr offense. I rather haver 2-3 fully equipped 36w armies then 10 armies of 18w or being underequipped

[austere roost]

You don't need 4 line anti air. Just get an anti air support company or use a anti air tank

[edgy mesa]

also how do i get the icons you have they look 10x more sexy then these boring ones i have

[fathom thistle]

Holy template (nah just joking) just stick to inf in template and have artillery and anti air in support

[austere roost]

Nato unit mod?

[fathom thistle]

wydm? I dont have any mods

[edgy mesa]

i never said mods i honestly thought it was an option

[fathom thistle]

idk lol, I thought u had a mod xD

[edgy mesa]

no mods only dlc

[fathom thistle]

weird

[edgy mesa]

but it was that before aswell

[fathom thistle]

weird setrtings i guess

[edgy mesa]

found out

i had nato sym on

[fathom thistle]

oh xD

[edgy mesa]

also when iam not in war should i make frontlines or the defend option

[fathom thistle]

make fronmtlines and offensive lines on countires u want to invade to get planning bonus

[edgy mesa]

ik but when iam not planning wars

[fathom thistle]

(one of those blue bars in yopujr divs is planning %)

[edgy mesa]

yes i know i wanted to know what to do when iam not planning a war but just have them

[fathom thistle]

I mean u dont need dont need then but it never hurts to do so

[edgy mesa]

aight

[mellow helm]

Does this game get easier when you learn how to play?

[edgy mesa]

i learned a little bit and i dont loose to poland as germany anymore

[fathom thistle]

yes, also the ai is dumber then you thinkl so if you are decent you can do world conquest in no time xD

[mellow helm]

Ok

[fathom thistle]

Like USSR doesnt research past 1939 guns xD

free xp

[austere roost]

The limit to world conquest in the end becomes how fast you can justify a war goal

[fathom thistle]

or your actual pc hardware xD

[austere roost]

Just download no south america mod ez

Invading Peru sucks anyway

[fathom thistle]

does that help like significantly?

[austere roost]

Yeah also prevents Brazil from joining allies

[fathom thistle]

I just usually defeat ussr first to get rid of that much lag

[fathom thistle]

oh nice

[austere roost]

I just usually uninstall the game first to touch grass and meet girls

[leaden jay]

why do the soveits not lose the battle? i out number them and the bubble says 91 but it keeps staying at 91 and their org or anyhting arent going down how do i fix it

[fathom thistle]

lol

[fathom thistle]

send schreenshot

[edgy mesa]

compared to yours this division is kinda dogwater

[fathom thistle]

if its green bubble just wait for them to grind out of manpower

[austere roost]

Can you post the actual battle screen

[fathom thistle]

Just research guns and MOI's and you be there

usually u gonna reach my stats at 1942

[austere roost]

You don't need 36 pure inf divisions

Just build spg divisions if you want offensive spearheads

[fathom thistle]

Pure inf supermacy

xD

[austere roost]

Your inf divisions should not be the main attacking force anyway especially as germany

[edgy mesa]

and a moi isss

[austere roost]

You have the ic to mass produce tank divisions

[fathom thistle]

they can tho,, if you are not playing mp u can stick with pure inf tbh

ai is dumb

[austere roost]

yeah but you'll lose a lot of manpower

[fathom thistle]

not necesarrily since they have a lot of hp.

[austere roost]

technically you can win sp with just inf and cas but there's no fun with that

[fathom thistle]

Going for 3:10 casuallty ratio against ussr. Even agaisnt allies u good

[fathom thistle]

true

[austere roost]

hp only determines how much casualties you take given the damage

it doesn't decide how much damage you take

that's solved by armor and making your division harder

[edgy mesa]

i have played for 40 hour biggest i got was with germany with poland austria denmark benelux france and norway and then i lost to soviet

[austere roost]

so ai uses hard attack which they barely try to maximize and you get gold shields against ai

[fathom thistle]

only thing about the armor is that you get pierced anwyay later years, hardness is cool tho

[austere roost]

20 armor gets you a long way into the game

[austere roost]

you need to improve your supply and air and then try learning how to design tanks and how tank divisions work

and sooner or later you'll realize that you actually don't need inf divisions when you have the ic to build all tank divisions

[edgy mesa]

aight rn iam playing german empire tryna invade italy and have not looked at a tank divison once so i iamma see how that goes

[pliant condor]

tank would most likely not help you

[fathom thistle]

tanks are cool for micro, for pure battleplan u might as well do pure inf

[pliant condor]

if there's anything you need to look at, it's to continue trainign more divisions, put your occupied land in good shape(make collabs or at least harsh quota it), and make enough guns

if you can beat allies and keep building divisions beating soviet is very similar

[austere roost]

advantages of tanks and armor variants: higher armor = you take less damage, higher hardness = ai uses hard attack on you which they barely have
disadvantages of tanks and armor variants: low org, low hp so you need to mix in inf or motorized/mech inf

if you're germany you can just build all tank after you rush down the czech focus

[fathom thistle]

yo topaz, is there any good for maxing out the templates to like max width for the funiies? Or is it just worse compared to 36w.

[austere roost]

it's worse

because combat width is usually around 70

unless you're talking about garrison divisions

[fathom thistle]

fair enough

just having that urge to max out w cuz why not

[austere roost]

but only if you use mp support companies

[edgy mesa]

nvm i aint starting a war on italy rn

[austere roost]

since if you have 1 cav + 1 mp then you're using 1 mp company worth of support equipment for every cav garrison but if you have 25 cav + 1 mp then that 1 mp company worth of support equipment supports 25 cav regiments

[fathom thistle]

italy not being useless challange impossible

[austere roost]

also mountaineers should be 25 width because mountains are 25 width and every extra tile attacking adds 25 width to comabt width

[fathom thistle]

I just do 1 cav with martial law and its fine for the msot of the game.

[pliant condor]

the max width you can have is 39

because in a 60 width tile anything above that won't get you more than two division in combat

similarly in 50 width tile it's 32

so you make mountaineer 32 width

[fathom thistle]

Alr bet

[pliant condor]

but larger templates are generally better

36 is becasue you fill 70 width

[austere roost]

tbh mp support companies are optional

you'd get better results with 25 cheapest light tanks than 25 cav + 1 mp support company because you take less casualties

[edgy mesa]

okay so now i can start the war against italy but when i put all my troops at italys border i go low on supply should i ignore that or build more hubs

[fathom thistle]

hubs if you have time or motorize the hubs or improve the railways from the supply hub to capital

or air supply if you can afford that

[austere roost]

Always mobilize first

Supply hubs are expensive

You should have no supply issues in western Europe as long as you motorize supply

[edgy mesa]

iam at 85% iam building more trains but yeah

[fathom thistle]

yh italy alpines are kidna annjoying but once youi break through u be fine

[edgy mesa]

so i can ignore the supply thing?

[fathom thistle]

well from the ss your org looks good so u should be finme

if your org doesnt go below half u good

[dapper jolt]

Im in an online debate about a protiention "exploit"

is putting an MIO on an equipment and then putting a different an MIO the production line, An exploit or an intended feature

[pulsar beacon]

is this a good plane template for 1940s ussr

[austere roost]

That 85% is just how much trains/trucks/convoys your current supply network needs

There's no guarantee that it will be enough to supply all. Your supply capability is determined by your train and port levels

[pliant condor]

never build supply hub

you should always have enough supply in europe

[pulsar beacon]

idk how much plane attack to put

[fathom thistle]

do you have heavy mg's? If yes then replace the canons 1 with them

[pulsar beacon]

yes i just got that

[fathom thistle]

less ic

[pliant condor]

fill the top row with 4x heavy machine gun and bottom row with self-sealing fuel tank, armor plate, extra fuel tank

[pulsar beacon]

i have 1 cannon 2 heavy mgs in screenshot

[pulsar beacon]

kk

[edgy mesa]

is it smart doing this?

like with all 81

[fathom thistle]

I mean u gonna get overstack penalty, if you would conquere yugoslavia it would be easier to attack from there tbh

[edgy mesa]

is there a focus tree for german empire for that?

found it and i cant do it

[fathom thistle]

Umm I dojnt think so your best chance is to attack with 32w mountaineers

[fathom thistle]

rip

[edgy mesa]

so i should change the 36 div to a 32 mountain now?

[fathom thistle]

You will eventually get trhought the moiuntain its jsut gonna take some time porbably, so attack with 32w mountaineers if uc an

[fathom thistle]

your main 36w can stay, just makoe the mountaineers 32w

[edgy mesa]

ion have any

i only train inf

[fathom thistle]

you got so many templates, jsut convert them to your main ones

[vital plinth]

Is it bad to build railway on mountain do I need level 15 railway to build supply hub in that area ?

[fathom thistle]

click on that small cargo icon

then click on hub

and then click on the middle icon to max out railways to that hub

and u should be fine

[edgy mesa]

2 things wdym convert i think i only have inf and 2 this is my mountaineer should i start training those or?

[fathom thistle]

Altought if you are lacking suppliues from like 1 or 2 tiles its not that big of a deal

[vital plinth]

I may need to find a new guide on YouTube I’m so confused what to do hehe
Just got Ethiopia and can’t build anything on that land or what to do with it

[fathom thistle]

U have dupplicate tempalte from taking austria. You dont need those template so just convert your forces to main templates. You should only have like 4 templates without tanks:
18w ifnantry (defense)
36w infantry (or tanks) (attack)
garrison template (either 1 cavarly or max cavarly template)
mountaineers 32w (for mountains obviosuly)
other special forces ( if you use them)

you can convert via those 2 arrow icon next to red trash bin icon

[edgy mesa]

like this?

[fathom thistle]

thats 36w

[fathom thistle]

u want 32w for mountaineers

oh you have trhe reduction

remove one then to get under 32w them

[edgy mesa]

also i just upgraded guns i should wait with starting the war right

30.6 now

[fathom thistle]

so it goes to 32,4 if you add one?

Then keep it that 30,6

[edgy mesa]

aight

and also i dont convert all 81 troops to mountaineers right?

[fathom thistle]

tbh u can literally fight with the worst tempalte agaisnt itally and win, they are jsut that bad

[fathom thistle]

thats your cap

[edgy mesa]

so thats a yes?

[fathom thistle]

u can make like 5 mountainers divison of that width with that cap

thats fine'

[edgy mesa]

alright so do i convert or train convert right?'

[edgy mesa]

also

[fathom thistle]

convert and then train

[fathom thistle]

meh

just have enough surplus of guns

[edgy mesa]

i think thats enough surplus

[fathom thistle]

yeah, get that support eq up

dont underestiamte it

[edgy mesa]

iam tryna its slow

[fathom thistle]

how many factories u have on it?

[edgy mesa]

15 and 18 on inf eq

[fathom thistle]

hmm

[fathom thistle]

even it out for now.

[edgy mesa]

done

[fathom thistle]

yh the equipment after update sucks

[edgy mesa]

also iam down on manpower is that something i should be worried about

[fathom thistle]

How many u have?

[edgy mesa]

was at 0 now 100k cuz i deleted some in the recruitting

[fathom thistle]

conscription law?

U dont need more then 5 armies

[edgy mesa]

its at the default limited

[fathom thistle]

bump it out to next one

[edgy mesa]

extensive?

[fathom thistle]

but still you shouldjnt have problem with mp

[fathom thistle]

yh

[edgy mesa]

i need to be fascist or commu for that

[fathom thistle]

you can decalre on italy and then do it

[edgy mesa]

aight ill do that once i declare

[fathom thistle]

they cant do shit to you anyway

[edgy mesa]

org seems a bit low

nvm found out it was training causing that

[edgy mesa]

u said it took long to break through but how long i cant seem to get through at all

[foggy rune]

man this sucks

[fathom thistle]

Some time. Btw did u put a y support companies yo otu templates
?

[foggy rune]

I look away from my eastern front for two damn seconds and this happens

[edgy mesa]

the mountainneers?

[fathom thistle]

Ye

[edgy mesa]

nope

[foggy rune]

they broke through one spot and charged all the way to my capital

[edgy mesa]

this is it

[fathom thistle]

Do that

[edgy mesa]

what is good to have on?

[fathom thistle]

Arty/AA/Hospitals/Rangers or Signal companies/Engi

use spare army xp tomax out mountaineer doctrine

If you already got the mina doctrnes

[edgy mesa]

okay while i was invading italy 2 things happened lol soviet and france are in an alliance and uk had a civil war

also i have broken through

ehm

[edgy mesa]

EHM

should i be concerned bout this?

[pliant condor]

yes

how do you even possibly get that low

put your cursor over it and you see the modifiers

[fathom thistle]

Do the pp decisions to increase war support

[edgy mesa]

also how does this make sense

[pliant condor]

ok well

nonhist is like this

pretty unplayable

[edgy mesa]

iam on historical

[pliant condor]

although you should still have m ore than this, do focuses that give you warsupport and justify on random nations to rise tension if you could

[pliant condor]

you playing on nonhist means the game cannot be hist

ai nations will go off hist if you go nonhist on a major

[edgy mesa]

alright

makes sense why british empire took over all puppets aswell as canada

[pliant condor]

try do focuses to get more war support

the stability is super low because you go to offensive war with zero ws

[edgy mesa]

aight

[edgy mesa]

another thing how is greater hungary justifying against me when iam the leader of the alliance they are in

[mellow helm]

Boys poland has been captured!

[rustic acorn]

Morning, I always read about those high industrialized nations with +500 industry in civ, mils and shipyards by 1939. Here you have 135 in January 1941

[rustic acorn]

and a little later 142

[edgy mesa]

you wake up at 4 am?

[rustic acorn]

man... please dont ask

[edgy mesa]

ive been making it since the start

[rustic acorn]

ok

so that are the numbers you deal with in 1941?

as Germany?

[fierce idol]

are there any drawbacks to just building up as germany?

[edgy mesa]

i thought i was doing good ig not

[rustic acorn]

you are doing well

but as I said, iread sometimes numbers I couldnt believe

but

you could be better too

ever tried to convert mils into civs by start as Germany?

[edgy mesa]

nope this is the third time i play as germany

[rustic acorn]

oh, then you are doing really well 🙂

[edgy mesa]

got advice from good people

[rustic acorn]

they did well

perhaps you want to try to convert 3-4 mils into civs by start in high infra states

[edgy mesa]

also should i build supply hubs or just wait?

[edgy mesa]

aight ill try that tmr

[rustic acorn]

in Roma is a hub, it is repaired faster then build new

[edgy mesa]

it is repaired just a heavy toll on it

[rustic acorn]

but perhaps the region is also a bit overstacked

yapp

[stuck flint]

@tepid umbra So should I get no step back for me instead of playing vanilla hoi4 or is no step back not good for germany

[rustic acorn]

withdraw some can help

cav is consuming more then inf

do you need the tanks in the mountain/hills?

[tepid umbra]

i'd say no step back is better for germany if yk how to make your tanks

[rustic acorn]

withdraw the tanks a bit further north

[tepid umbra]

also it's just fun in general

[rustic acorn]

and delete the cav

[stuck flint]

err

wdym know how to make your tanks

[edgy mesa]

all tanks are at north

[tepid umbra]

no step back is a tank design dlc

and soviets too

[rustic acorn]

better now with supply?

[stuck flint]

would you suggest anything else

[edgy mesa]

they have been always

[tepid umbra]

not really

[stuck flint]

so would you say its the best for germany?

or are their more fun stuff

[tepid umbra]

best for germany =/ fun

not necessarily anyways

read the dlc descriptions and prices to find out for yourself

[stuck flint]

the price is fun

I just

dont know what is good for tanks

[tepid umbra]

it's in pins

[stuck flint]

hold up

gotterdam

gives me the p1000

[tepid umbra]

huh

[tepid umbra]

mostly for ahist germany iirc

[stuck flint]

is gotterdamrug good?

[tepid umbra]

I mean yeah

but not for germany imo

I love the hungary tree

[edgy mesa]

you still here?

[stuck flint]

maybe ILl get it later

now

imma buy the thing

[rustic acorn]

yes

[edgy mesa]

resistance is piling up i did what i was told to do but it keeps increasing is that cuz of war or?

[rustic acorn]

enemy spies can increase it as well

so, yes, cuz of war

what are your laws?

do you use military police?

[edgy mesa]

ehh i forgot about agency i might need to get one

[rustic acorn]

you need one

expensive though

[edgy mesa]

yeah

also this is this something i need to worry about?

[rustic acorn]

what do you mean?

[edgy mesa]

i just pick random stuff in it

[rustic acorn]

Det forbedrer kun din infanteri, alt er godt.

[tepid umbra]

read them 😭

it gives buffs

[rustic acorn]

I singleplayer skal du fokusere mere på bløde angreb end på hårde.

[edgy mesa]

okay

hvad med det her? noget med conference turn? den siger 4k total men skal bruge 2k og har kun 909

[rustic acorn]

Du kan også springe en runde over, så stiger din værdi.

[edgy mesa]

så hvis jeg tager noget nu kan jeg ikke senere?

[rustic acorn]

I multiplayer er det nødvendigt med god kommunikation.

[edgy mesa]

jeg spiller single lige nu

[rustic acorn]

ikke afslutte konferencen, kun springe en runde over

Øverst til højre var afslut, nederst til højre var tilpas.

[edgy mesa]

så jeg kan submit demands nu og så efter tryk pass og så igen derefter kommer turn 2?

[rustic acorn]

Hvis du ikke klikker på det forkerte, så ja.

[rustic acorn]

nøjagtigt nederst til højre send

[dusk mist]

[wintry kernel]

[wheat spoke]

can someone help me I just got the by blood alone DLC and I want to make a aircraft. it is one of the grayed out. I give it an Arment and hit save but I still can not produce it.

[neat widget]

set your fleet to patrol

And then it should gain naval dominance

that said the british should have done the job for you

[wheat spoke]

Please anyone?

[neat widget]

Basically it comes down to the fact you can't build empty hulls

Wait a second

What?!

[wheat spoke]

I have the weapons and engines

[neat widget]

I just realized

[wintry kernel]

i was 1v4 italy romania yugoslavia turkey for somer eason germany did not attack me i lost after 2 hours

im still new so i dont mind im happy with the casualties

[neat widget]

casualties aren't bad

[wintry kernel]

nah i just gave up

its 1944 💀

[wheat spoke]

I have the weapons and engine why can't I build this?

help please

[nocturne cloak]

@charred storm Yo.

Your build wouldve lost 100%

[wheat spoke]

can somone hop into a call I have a few questions that would be easier to answer via screen sharing

[bronze grove]

click the P-39 Aircobra 1 at the the top

your mouse is currently on chasis without no module

[wheat spoke]

thats not my problem

I want to make the vehical with my mouse is on but I can't I have the weapons for it and engine so why can I not?

[wheat spoke]

yes but I have all the guns researched

[bronze grove]

Your weight can't exceed thrust if thats what you mean

thrust is gained from better engines

[wheat spoke]

no its not that

are you willing to hop into a vc?

[bronze grove]

no

[wheat spoke]

ok hold up

[carmine thunder]

Why cant I make a unified front line??

[wheat spoke]

I have all the weapons researched and I want to put them on the weight is not a problem or anything but when I hit save nothing happens

[bronze grove]

you are designing a carrier airframe btw

[wheat spoke]

ik

[bronze grove]

Watch a Youtube tutorial

what you are asking is very silly, I don't have any other answer than just click the modules and save it

[nocturne cloak]

@charred storm Yo. I had 6k Air compared to your 2k btw

How do you throw as Germany!

[neat widget]

Yeah that's odd

[rotund scaffold]

how do i get the requisites for case anton what does the at most 0 divisions mean?

[neat widget]

@wheat spoke @wintry kernel for frontlines imagine your orders like rectangles. They have a length and you draw a width, and your job with a battleplan order is to sweep as many tiles as possible. So if I were you I'd just draw them in Yucatan

The main thing it does in terms of stats is give you planning bonus, and it doesn't matter whether your offensive ends the next tile over or all the way across the continent, that planning bonus wont' change

Also your troops are woefully underequipped

What are your doctrines

[civic garden]

It means you can't have any divisions there

[rotund scaffold]

oh

[neat widget]

You're the US, you have a lot of manpower but shockingly little IC because your mils come online late

[civic garden]

The only number of divisions that is "at most 0" is 0 itself (since negative divisions isn't a thing)

[neat widget]

@wintry kernel support artillery takes no combat width

That's why it is so good

Eventually you cap your combat width

DLC for helicopters is also Götterdammerung

@wheat spoke if possible use light long range MIO (I believe it is Northrup-Grumman, should look like a triangle). The US often does heavy planes with jet engines since they get strong boosts to that, but light planes aren't bad either (they are recommended for most other countries)

Also please, your units are not at full strength

@wintry kernel new 1.17 feature, cohesion represents how much the AI is inclined to move your units to fulfill your orders

True, it is generally not recommended to put tanks in mountains, the base debuff is 50% and then you're adding even more debuff. Also jungle attritions quite badly as well, don't put tanks in jungles either

@wintry kernel correct

Read the Montreux convention for more details

tl;dr turkey can close the straits if those ships come from countries that are in wars turkey is not involved in

Hello?

[primal igloo]

Why can't I move the Oberbayern planes to the airbase in Eritrea?

The ones in Somaliland I can move back and forth between Somaliland and Eritrea without issues
