[minor ruin]

japan went through civil war path (iirc i haven't touched japan since ncns) so they shouldn't invade you, unless the kwantung army is still active

so you should be fine, although if you want manchuria you will have to fight them for it

[analog maple]

okie

[narrow grail]

With having all of Chinas in alliance with you, just cover naval invasions

[topaz yew]

what do you mean sorry? i dont think they need to do any naval invasions

[narrow grail]

The worst that may happen on land front is losing Beijing, and Japan will barely go further

[narrow grail]

By doing so you prevent situations like on the screenshot you sent

Naval invasions hugely distract China

[idle arch]

Am I ready for barb?

[topaz yew]

oh should i not defend my main territory bit?

[narrow grail]

So they become weaker on land front, can't defend naval invasions with raw infantry and everything falls down

[topaz yew]

i only had like 20 divisions when they invaded

[narrow grail]

Japan will barely attack much and break through mountains, so you can ignoring it

[topaz yew]

japan has attackjed me quite a lot through the mountains

[narrow grail]

Did you take Shanxi and Hebei-Chahar before the war started?

Ah wait I'm dumb I see Shanxi existsing

[idle arch]

Please can someone answer my question

[topaz yew]

i took guayan and yanan

[topaz yew]

no idea but go for it

[narrow grail]

You can take Shanxi and all of Hebei-Chahar before war too, this will let you take extra research slot way sooner with focus to proclaim the PRC, and any territory of Manchuria and Mengjiang conquered will be given to you, even if Nationalist China troops will be ones who take them

[idle arch]

What does thst even mean bro

[hollow linden]

What are those divs

[topaz yew]

give it a shot, might be fun

[hollow linden]

Also u still got a year

[topaz yew]

oh like take the east and west expansion first thing?

[narrow grail]

But in this case probably the best to do is cutting off Japan from supply and encircling them @topaz yew

[idle arch]

Wdym u mean the template

[hollow linden]

Yes

[topaz yew]

thats what ive been trying to do for themost part, but the problem is that most tiles i cant push on at all, if theres more than 1 japanese division then its probably a lost cause for me

[narrow grail]

The order doesn't matter, you have enough time for both. I think Shanxi has 1 civ + 1 mil, and Ningxia state you win has probably just a mil but it's still nice to take

[topaz yew]

ivebeen trying to push or encircle here because i dont think they have any supply but they seem incredibly persistent

[narrow grail]

Concentrate all of your army for that. It's ok to do so

[idle arch]

9/0 with enginerr support arty and support aa

[hollow linden]

Sure

[topaz yew]

oh okay, i thought it was very tight on time

[hollow linden]

Maybe add signal companies

[idle arch]

Why

[topaz yew]

okay thank you

[hollow linden]

Cuz they're good when defending

[narrow grail]

You can push near Tianjin/Beijing or into Qingdao, mostly plains

[idle arch]

Truw I'll start researching it now

[topaz yew]

im not sure if i can, they have a tank

[narrow grail]

So don't fight them, so far I don't see a single tank div on your screenshots

[topaz yew]

its hidden, but qingdao seems like it doesnt have any, only a lot of divisions

[narrow grail]

Ok I saw one, just ignore it

[narrow grail]

just any supply hubs will make it for you so much better

[topaz yew]

would you reccomend going for this one then?

[narrow grail]

You can even separate Japanese possessions

by rushing coast

here try pushing into Jinan from south

[topaz yew]

should i avoid the 3 division tile and stuff like that

i dont think im pushing there

[narrow grail]

and concentrate your forces into even thinner frontline

[topaz yew]

can you shrink a frontline?

ohh yea ty

[narrow grail]

Yes

Also what's your div template?

[karmic terrace]

Most op poland path?

[topaz yew]

6 militias, support artillery, field hospital and support anti-air

[narrow grail]

You don't need field hospital as China

better add engineers

How did you even ran out of manpower?

[topaz yew]

ill research them

probably the 500k deaths

[narrow grail]

or basically any other country, unless your manpower is that low so sacrificing it into hospitals is worth

Like Denmark

[topaz yew]

i thought it was low

[narrow grail]

And add more militias

7 or 8 should be fitting combat widths fine

[topaz yew]

also how do i get my divisions to move to the front line?

[narrow grail]

Assign them

[topaz yew]

individually?

ive got an army group 1 front line but they stay in their original posisions

[narrow grail]

You can assign whole armies I think

Also try making frontlines with alt + shift

So it doesn't get split between generals

wait

I think it's just shift when you make a frontline

[topaz yew]

ill trz to take jinan and if that doesnt work ill restart and trytaking shanxi then i think?

[narrow grail]

in the very 1936?

[topaz yew]

yea

im playing as china to learn not to win really

[minor ruin]

mountain supply infantry hell

[raven maple]

Man what a fair war
Ps: Great Britain guaranteed me

[narrow grail]

You can take Hebei-Chahar early to make the game way easier. Either justify war goal or go unwilling diarchy path, one focus in there gives you wargoals against all the cliques you have border with, after taking Shanxi you will get one with Hebei-Chahar.

Japan doesn't declare war on you (communist China), so you can chill as long as you can but soon one debuff will come for small stability, war support and daily pp minus. You can live with it

[topaz yew]

alright thanks

is the unwilling diarchy path on the non mao bit?

[narrow grail]

It's 50/50 between Mao Zedong and Zhang Ghutao/Gutao I forgot

you later choose between one of them

But yeah it's alternative from hist with aligning KMT China

[topaz yew]

also btw sry, whats a good way of covering for naval invasions? do i take a division out of the armies and place it on the tile?

[narrow grail]

Defense order with prioritizing naval bases/coastline or fallback line

[topaz yew]

okay thanks

[light knoll]

if doing historical just do Habsburg

[topaz yew]

like area defense where i highlight the tile?

[narrow grail]

yes

And in the times when you close all invasions you can keep army on frontline and fight

but once another naval invasion pops up better send all army. KMT keeps just infantry battalions divs for way too long, don't trust them until you basically kick Japan out and push in Manchuria

[tranquil coral]

Hello Guys, I am kind of new in HoiV with 100 Hours but idk how to naval invade Norway. Is there anyone that can help me?

[topaz yew]

i mean infantry battalions is all ivve got troo

[narrow grail]

Yeah but you can add at least artillery support

And militia is so much better with doctrines

[narrow grail]

KMT AI does it so much later so it doesn't matter. Just consider them as legit meat wall

[tranquil coral]

Can someone pls help me

[severe ivy]

What are you having trouble with in regards to the naval invasion mechanic?

[tranquil coral]

Yes, i dont really know how to

[topaz yew]

and it was going so well

[neat widget]

no equipment

Did you just suddenly enlarge your template like 2 days before

[topaz yew]

no

ive had no equipment for the past 4 years

[neat widget]

huh

[topaz yew]

why? i have barely any factories or resources

well ican sacrifice 14 divisions 😭

[neat widget]

What's your division template?

[severe ivy]

1. Click on your desired commander.
2. Click on the naval invasion order in for the army.

• For this to work, said army needs to be at a port. It will then give you the opportunity to click on the naval base they are at first.

3. Then you will click on the desired area you want to invade and press enter.
4. Wait for your army to prepare.

• This will usually take a while, but it is much faster with Marines.

5. Execute the plan.

• Watch out though, you need to be sure to have naval dominance over all the sea tiles that your army will pass through to get to the port.

[topaz yew]

8 millitias, engineer company, anti air and support artillery

[tranquil coral]

I have this

[narrow grail]

Trade for steel and you can disband those divisions, they aren't encircled yet with access to port in Yantai? Yahtai?

[tranquil coral]

And how do I get Naval Dominance?

It says 0

[topaz yew]

oh thanks

[severe ivy]

I believe that you need to have enough ships on the "patrol" order to gain some. You can actually find how much naval dominance each individual ship provides if you click on the ship's template, if I remember correctly.

[tranquil coral]

Thank you so much

I have been stuck for one hour

[glad imp]

You can send ships to patrol to gain dominance, strike force to get even more and convoy raiding to lower the enemies dominance. but patrol is probably more than enough against norway

[severe ivy]

Of course, don't worry! It took me a few tries myself (and sometimes the navy does not cooperate).

Now, I need some assistance haha!

[glossy ore]

Is tehre a way to make it so that i get the territory when invading the middle east instead of italy

[neat widget]

Make that 16 militia next time

militia doctrine scales with size

[topaz yew]

now that i know that i dont need to cover the whole front thatll help a lot

oh thats good i think? allies have joined against japan

[severe ivy]

I'm having trouble figuring out something relating to the console. While playing the Communist States of America, the Soviet Union completed the Retake Alaska focus to my detriment, and despite the fact that we've been on good terms (but separate factions) for most of the game, they have attempted to declare war on me over it twice now. I savescumed and prevented them the first time, but I'm tired of it.

Is there someway to remove their war goal on me? I already removed their claim, but they still keep the war goal, and idk where to find it in the save file to remove it manually 😔

[glossy ore]

Is tehre a way to make it so that i get the territory when invading the middle east instead of italy???

can someone pls answer me

[glad imp]

Is italy your ally?

[lofty totem]

why dont these planes have high naval attack?

[glossy ore]

yes

I just attacked turkey but they took over it even though i did 99% of the work

[glad imp]

If youre still in the war then it doesnt matter, you can just claim it in the peace conference

[topaz yew]

okay nah im gonna restart i think

[glossy ore]

Also if Fascism gets over 50% in America does that automatically make it fascist

How does that work

because it says no elections

[glad imp]

they couldve just went fascist through a focus tree

[tardy mesa]

can i win against france in 1936 right after the ethiopian war im playing as italy

[glossy ore]

Im in singleplayer historical

fascism has like 30% but what if it gets over 50%

im boosting pop

[glad imp]

no idea honestly, but a lot of crazy things can happen in historical if you dont follow the history too. But it doesnt automatically turn fascist once its above 50%, it might start a civil war tho (not 100% sure)

[glossy ore]

Why are there no elections

[glad imp]

can you send a screenshot?

[copper birch]

Is it possible to decrease autonomy puppet in TFR?

[glad imp]

yeah i think thats a focus, im not a USA player tho so as i said, im not 100% sure

[glossy ore]

okay

[glad imp]

Its probably best to start a civil war then

[sacred patrol]

Love it when my dumbass forgets to check after asking a question so now I ask again

What dlc has the most focus trees

[sand ember]

I don’t know

Hope this helps

[foggy rune]

does lend lease take time to arrive?

I asked Italy and France for convoys and they each agreed to send me 30 but I still have none

nvm I got them

[tardy mesa]

how do people win this

[severe ivy]

A naval invasion behind the French army might be helpful, especially if you pour in a large army or two right afterward to really destroy 'em

[dusty sandal]

you need to equip your divs properly for starters
then you need to modify your templates so that they are adapted for the task at hand. surprisingly light tanks and cav aren't adapted to mountains and small divs aren't adapted to attack
then people need not to endlessly battleplan until they cannot do anything but roll over and die because they exhausted their supplies, manpower and org
then people usually paradrop france for such early war but that requires building a good airforce early on

oh and players are supposed to pause the game and adress popups when they appear

use your political power as well

[severe ivy]

GOD DAMN that political power

[dusty sandal]

you'd need to make it to 60% so that they get a popup to swap. The popup has a random chance to appear each day once they reach that 60% threshold

[dusty sandal]

click on the naval attack mission at bottom right
also, your nav bombers should NEVER be that costly as you'll lose dozens of them to a single light cruiser with lvl 1 AA
if a navbomb exceeds 50-60ic (for the anti-sub and range-focused ones) you're doing something horribly wrong

never use more engines than you need too

[compact violet]

what's the best infantry template to defend from germany

[static turret]

İf 9 inf with support art and engi

Support aa if you dont have air

[compact violet]

What about recon? Do i need it too?

Or just AA and at?

[static turret]

You cant afford the equipment

[static turret]

At isnt that good in sp since ai tanks are ahh

[compact violet]

Okay

[static turret]

Dont do recon cuz its just expensive

Hell even the engi is expensibe based on the nation u pick

İf you are short on manpower instead of equipment you can add recon if you want

Dont forget to draw a feontline for planning bonus

Gp is a good defense attack doctrine

And make intel network

So that they xant get planing bonus

[foggy rune]

why am I getting this warning on every single unit? they all refuse to move

[compact violet]

like this?

[severe ivy]

You need more supply from what it says

[static turret]

Yeah

[foggy rune]

my supply is blue across that entire area

[compact violet]

okay, thanks

[static turret]

Try to make frontline on your river

[severe ivy]

Huh, that's strange

[compact violet]

What if i make the infantry to 12?

[static turret]

Wdym

12 width?

[neat widget]

look at the video above

engineers don't really do much here

your typical support companies are just going to be artillery and aa

[static turret]

İsnt engineers whole point defense😭

[compact violet]

Uhmmmm

[static turret]

Listen to the helper they def know more than me

Engi isnt needed app

Wich is now that I think of fair support equipment şs annoying

[thick pollen]

hey, me and a buddy are trying to play some multiplayer but it says we are on different versions of the game

[compact violet]

okay

[thick pollen]

even though in the launcher we are in the same version, it automatically puts him into a different snapshot or something

how do we fix this?

[static turret]

Do yall have the same mods

[compact violet]

how is my plane?

[static turret]

1.are the mods the same
2.check on steam - properties the game version and verify its tbe same
3. İf those 2 dont work verify game files (might take 10-20 min so use it as last option)

[static turret]

İts fine

[neat widget]

do you have cannon 1?

[compact violet]

No

[neat widget]

oh okay

[compact violet]

Should i use cannon?

[neat widget]

i mean if you do you should use it, but since you don't that's unfortunate

[sacred patrol]

Can I have a heavy tank template ig

[neat widget]

Multiplayer?

[compact violet]

I could research it, i don't need it really fast though

[sacred patrol]

Single

Ik it's not that needed but it's hoi4, why not

[neat widget]

Just use engine 1 and then you should be fine

And if you get mávag mio later on use that too

But yeah can't do much right now

[sacred patrol]

So about the tank division template?

Any advice if

Possible

[neat widget]

If you want a heavy tank it would look like this

[compact violet]

Okay

[elfin crystal]

so ive only ever really played as germany, ive made a very good germany specific strategy that almost always works, but i wanna start trying other nations, how similar would the strategies be?

[sacred patrol]

What's the thing behind the main tanks

[sacred patrol]

I can't really edit them

[severe ivy]

Anybody have any advice for this?

[edgy mesa]

why does it keep going up?

i started defensive early

[neat widget]

You mean the amphibious tractors? You can replace them with normal mech if you want

[foggy rune]

so I'm at a bit of an impasse

I'm Austria, don't have a navy. I'm in 2 seperate wars where the last standing major is an island (japan and UK)

do I just have to wait for my allies to get around to doing it or is there some way I can knock either of them out so I can steal a navy

I might have to ask Germany for control of a coastal territory so I can actually build a few ships to naval invade Japan

[sacred patrol]

Alr, thanks a lot, its nice to try new stuff even tho lack of dlcs sucks

[dark thunder]

The support companies?

[sacred patrol]

Nah I forgot what amphibious tractors are cus it's 4 am

[neat widget]

do you have arms against tyranny?

because if not just stick to normal mech

[hardy sequoia]

WHY AM I NOT ABLE TO PATROL WHEN I HAVE A NAVAL BASE RIGHT THEIR??

[severe ivy]

You have to relocate your navy's home base to a nearer port. Right now it's in Leningrad, meaning that it's just out of range of these specific ships.

[hardy sequoia]

where do you go to relocate it?

[languid trout]

ctrl+right click on any port

[random bolt]

someone explain why im barely getting any escort efficiency even though I have enough range and fuel and supply

[hardy sequoia]

thank you it worked

[severe ivy]

Here, where it says Leningrad, close to where your naval commander goes

[pulsar beacon]

ok ive been playing hoi4 for an entire day now i give up trying to play communist china omg

i tried another attempt and i capitulated in 38 while the entirety of china fell in 40

japan is trully broken with the new dlc

[sacred patrol]

Normal mech it is

Thank you very much for the template once again

[neat widget]

No worries

[boreal hamlet]

I think the data is wrong. Mouse over the on map escort shield icon to display more info at the bottom it will tell you how many time your escorts protected convoys compared to how many attacks displayed as x/x. I had 157/157 so 100 % but the escort icon displayed 33%

[warped knoll]

i saw this youtube video of this guy using MP for port defense and general home defense

wondering how i access MP as a division

Not research but actually making divisions

[narrow elk]

does efficiency apply to convoys/other navals?

[calm forge]

why is usa allowed to attack my troops while brazil isnt at war with me?

[oak jasper]

Is it impossible to refit the ships of governments-in-exile? I'd love to give Poland's destroyers sonar.

[fickle girder]

that is how the game works in this case the usa probably had acces to brazil

in other words they can move through the country, have troops placed there and be able to use the borders

[calm forge]

brazil isnt in the war so it should be a war crime

usa only has military access

brazil isnt at war with me so usa invading from brazil isnt allowed

[fickle girder]

uh i see

then maybe they are in a faction?

[calm forge]

nope

[fickle girder]

either this or you're in a faction

[deft wyvern]

In general, is anti air worth building in a state? I feel like it's not. But I wanted the view of some more experienced players

[calm forge]

im using rt56

[deft wyvern]

My thought process is it's better to build military factories & fighters

[wild rune]

those who use 38w

[wild rune]

no just build millitary factorys and make planes to prevent that from happening in the first place

[deft wyvern]

Makes sense, but the support anti air is worth it on infantry units right?

[wild rune]

only if you aren't trading well(or don't have an airforce)

[deft wyvern]

Wdym by trading?

[wild rune]

like how many airplanes they kill in exchange for you killing theirs

the ratio between the two

[fickle girder]

well... idk but i gave it a shot

[deft wyvern]

Ahh okay. Not really looked into that, will try check it out

Thanks for the help!

[calm forge]

ty

why arent my units getting manpower even tho i got 1.7m with full supply (im invading usa)

[native gorge]

Why does HOI4 keep crashing, i dont think it's the mods since it's been working fine till 1939-40. if you need specs im running on 8 gigs of ram with an intel core i5 10300H @ 2.50GHz with an RTX 2060

[plucky otter]

What is the full mod list?

You only showed from the 6th item and down

[native gorge]

that is the mod list

[pliant condor]

well a lot of outdated mods

this could be a suspect

[native gorge]

here's a slower version

[native gorge]

that one has worked perfectly literally until yesterday and today

[glacial steeple]

smooth iron caused issues for me before

forgot what it was

might just be broken savegame as well

[pliant condor]

everything works until it doesn't

just play with less mods

it's safer to just assume that things can't work across versions

so unless it has been updated in the last few months

[glacial steeple]

i play with like 50 or something but they all change like an individual thing

so for me its easy to find the culprit if theres an issue

[pliant condor]

for instance

[plucky otter]

Not me with a 80 mod play set 💀

[pliant condor]

when i go to the mod's workshop page

[native gorge]

shouldnt it show something like this then no?

[plucky otter]

Sometimes more

[native gorge]

all im playing is just RT56 with the expanded submod

[pliant condor]

this doesn't say anything other than if the mod author specified a version for the mod

[pliant condor]

or read crash reports

[glacial steeple]

i havent played hoi in like a month i forgot how much it is

[glacial steeple]

that as well

[native gorge]

where to find that

[plucky otter]

Undetstandable

[glacial steeple]

been building rails in minecraft

its taking a long time

[native gorge]

where do i find that

[native gorge]

also how do you freecam

didnt know how people did those panning shots of the map till i saw (i think john parker) do it and it was eerily similar to it

[plucky otter]

Just started a little life steal smp thing with some friends of mine. But ask for help is far from the right place for off topic well uhh topics 💀

[worn shard]

if am making a heavytank division how can I get my armor meme to not be the whole templete

[spare trellis]

invading soviets early instead of capping france
is this a good play or did i mess up my run

[light knoll]

its not ideal but you can still win

france (and the low countries) are just a lot of free economy

[spare trellis]

well i still have a free army do you think i can go through benelux

i believe i have the capacity to do 2 fronts

[light knoll]

you should be able to

[viscid forge]

how to leave the med

i have gilbraltar and spanish africa

and they still wont let me leave

[dark thunder]

Why not just ignore france and the allies entirely if your doing an early soviet invasion game?

[spare trellis]

idk

[dark thunder]

Grab Poland in 1936 with manual justification.

[spare trellis]

lowkey think i messed it up

[spare trellis]

arent they garunteed tho

[dark thunder]

Not if you do it first thing. As long as world tensions below 20% they dont. Below 25% they USUALLY dont.

[viscid forge]

still cant leave the med

[light knoll]

with ncns sometimes Britain will use a faction tule to lower minimum wt and will guarantee at very low wt. didn't happen with Poland tho last i tried

[deft wyvern]

does this really give -15% consumer goods for all factories?

Or am I mis understanding

[light knoll]

-15% means 15% of the consumers good value decided by your economy law, not absolute 15%. so if you have 30% consumer goods it'll make it 25.5%, not 15%

[deft wyvern]

Ahh ok, I'm on military economy so it's 20%. Meaning with 15% reduction it becomes 17%

So if I have 100 factories it's +3 factories

I only have 38 thou, so I guess it's legit just 1 factory rn

[deft wyvern]

also i wanted to ask, should I always have a battle plan set up to gain an offensive bonus?

[light knoll]

if you're on the offense yes

on the defense you'll sometimes want to use a fallback line

to sit on more favorable terrain

[deft wyvern]

How would you do it with paratroopers? do i set 8 different offensive lines?

[sand ember]

Yeah

even if you’re on the defensive

Still setup a frontline

[deft wyvern]

for each one?

[sand ember]

Wait you don’t get planning like that anymore

Damn

[deft wyvern]

I know rivers and hills are goood, not sure about much else. Plains ain't great i assume

[sand ember]

Ok once the enemy hits the fallback line, setup a frontline instead so you can get planning

[light knoll]

mountains, forests, jungles etc.

[sand ember]

Anything that isnt plains is better than planes

plains

[light knoll]

if you're on the defense it doesn't matter you don't get planning bonus

you get entrenchment instead

[sand ember]

Yes but what if you decide to attack or pin some enemy divisions

Or get pushed back in a section and need to retake a tile

Planning good

[deft wyvern]

mhm makes sense

[light knoll]

yeah it matters in those situations, just make sure you don't mess up your intended frontlines

[deft wyvern]

and you don't have to activate the plan right

[light knoll]

no you just attack

[deft wyvern]

yah i do this a bit

let the enemy through in 1 tile and then encircle

but have to be careful with it, xd

[light knoll]

you're not supposed to paradrop 8 different places at once unless its like france and they cap immediately so it doesn't matter

[deft wyvern]

I'm trying to paradrop germany

[light knoll]

don't

[deft wyvern]

it won't work?

[light knoll]

i mean you can paradrop to take a port at most

[light knoll]

you can't cap them that way

and its not an effective way to fight

because they have no supply

[deft wyvern]

I thought can take the VPs, like berlin, munchen and slowly cap them

they have too many then?

[light knoll]

not really you need too much

they'll just kill your paratroopers

and retake the tiles

[deft wyvern]

So this is doomed to fail?

[light knoll]

yes

[jade sparrow]

hey, I'm pretty new to the game, and I made a Semi-Historical AI (as an Example, collaborationist Ethiopia for no reason whatsoever). I'm playing as Italy, and don't want Ethiopia to raise its authonomy. How do I do that?

[light knoll]

build in their territory, send them lend lease (mainly convoys), don't use their troops

[deft wyvern]

Build factories in their place, send them land lease with useless convoys

[sand ember]

This could theoretically work

if they forgot to guard all their cities

And they had no air

[deft wyvern]

The good thing about building factories is you get back a portion of what you put in as they're your puppet

[sand ember]

At the very least you’d be resetting a lot of their production

Could blow up infra too

[jade sparrow]

i can barely build land and air facilities for mid 1937 i might be cooked

[deft wyvern]

haha ok. I'll give it a go.

[sand ember]

Just don’t use like actual good divisions

cause they’ll probably all get encircled and die

[jade sparrow]

and btw world tension is at 9% so i cant lend lease

[deft wyvern]

I'm using 2 width paradroopers for light blue and 38 width for dark blue

[light knoll]

if that's the goal then can use just 2w divisions

[light knoll]

that's fine

[sand ember]

Pro tip if you do use actually good divisions, if you press H during the battle where they’re landing, there’s an exploit where they go from being the attackers to being the defenders which makes the battle a lot easier to win

For a few reasons

[foggy rune]

can anybody explain to me how people get such easy encirclements?

[sand ember]

Use tanks and go around enemy divisions and win

[deft wyvern]

I got this command which I think is good. I had no clue about this exploit

[foggy rune]

I find it impossible to break through one part of the line so fast that the rest of my line doesn't just catch up and push the enemy back anyways

[sand ember]

Imma be real I don’t use paratroopers that often so I don’t really have advice for them

[sand ember]

you need to use better divisions and equipment and stuff then

[deft wyvern]

Infantry on front line. Tanks find opportunites where there are gaps, use the tanks to circle the enemy. Don't use infantry unless you're really strong or you have no choice

[deft wyvern]

Tanks/motorised are faster than infantry, so you just gotta use them to your advantage. Playing on a low gamespeed and seeing how long each unit takes to get to a tile can really help with micro learning encirclements

[light knoll]

you're supposed to not use battleplan with it

set your divisions to not go

[foggy rune]

I'm playing Italy and trying to win the Ethiopian war fast enough to not let the government escape, and I'm following a video. I'm following his advice on where to place divisions and I win the war, but he gets encirclements so much

[light knoll]

and attack manually

to encircle

[foggy rune]

will that not slow me down so much that I miss the deadline to catch the goverment?

[light knoll]

it shouldn't slow you down. but also you don't really need to encircle to win that war fast

[foggy rune]

you have to be really fast to catch the goverment

I can win the war by early may but that's still too long

[light knoll]

follow this

[brittle pier]

Hi i want help to integrate some 3d models

To the game

[light knoll]

you mean like modding the game to add models?

[brittle pier]

Yea

[light knoll]

#modding

[brittle pier]

I tried but failed

Ok thanks

[foggy rune]

appreciate it

[foggy rune]

I don't understand what I'm doing wrong

I do literally everything he says step by step

and I'm still like a month behind

my units just don't push as fast as his and I don't get where I've messed up

[compact violet]

What's the best template for cav?

[foggy rune]

I've been told to just not use it

idk if that's true or not but it's what I've heard

[compact violet]

Really?

Oof....

I already have a lot of cav, but the default temp

[foggy rune]

I would probably see if someone with more experience answers cause I don't know for sure

[compact violet]

Im playing as Hungary, some of the focus has cav bonus

[light knoll]

yeah cav is bad

[light knoll]

just convert them into infantry

[foggy rune]

bruh how early do I have to do this

I beat them in april and they still escaped

[compact violet]

What if i convert it to motorized?

[light knoll]

also bad

[compact violet]

So how do i make offensive troops???

[foggy rune]

I give up on this stupid war for tonight, it is absolutely unreasonable how fast you have to beat Ethiopia to actually win the war before they run like cowards

[compact violet]

Don't give up bro

[light knoll]

big infantry divisions or tanks

[foggy rune]

I have tried to do this 8 times in a row and missed the deadline while following step by step guides every time

[compact violet]

Can you give me a offensive troops template?

[foggy rune]

I'm just getting too frustrated to continue at this point

[light knoll]

for infantry

for tanks

[compact violet]

What about for early games?

[light knoll]

just make 36 width infantry/mountaineers division. support companies are flexible

well

early early game you won't have enough big units usually

so just use your normal small infantry

or make only a few of those

[deft wyvern]

it's working

[outer garden]

Pretty decent ratios

1 to 20 mostly

[deft wyvern]

Overall is 177k to 620k atm

[outer garden]

1 to 3

[deft wyvern]

Should have used fallback lines earlier

[outer garden]

Not the brightes idea

[deft wyvern]

I had no guns, needed to hold for 1 month for all the land leases

Now I can hold I think

[hollow linden]

I see what ur doing 👀

[light knoll]

i am shamelessly stealing your templates yes

[hollow linden]

Good 😂

[sour mountain]

can anyopne help me for a sec in vc

[tribal skiff]

Can someone help with this decision, please? I am not sure what it entails exactly:

So can I make territory demands or does the 'white peace' mean that old borders will be restored?

[hollow linden]

White peace means nothing changes. You retain your territory from before the war started

If you want territory, you need to cap the Soviets

[sour mountain]

is this ru n failed?

[hollow linden]

How?

You still have a navy no

Ohhh

[sour mountain]

im asking

[hollow linden]

Yea that's not how strike force works

[sour mountain]

then?

[tribal skiff]

I cant' realistically do that, my forces are stretched thin, and Germany is dragging his feet. I dunno what the problem is for Germany, as Soviets have suffered around three million casualties.

[sour mountain]

i only know how to paradrop britain not naval

and for an achivement i gotta navy them

[hollow linden]

You need a fleet on patrol and on strike force in the same sea zone

Strike force by itself doesnt give dominance

[sour mountain]

dont i first need to deefeat the british navy

cuz im getting cooked

[hollow linden]

Well no

If you can get supremacy before you donz

Of course you need to fight it

But not kill entirely

Ideally you should've been building light cruisers from the start of the game

[tribal skiff]

So theorically, if Germany does manage to take out remaining Soviet Union (I got Kola, Estonia, Leningrad and Novgorod region all the way to Moscow), what happens at peace conference, since I am not actully allied with Germany? Can I participate in it, and claim regions (and deny them from Germany)?

[hollow linden]

If you are in the war and your enemy caps you will be in the peacedeal

[sour mountain]

nvm

[light knoll]

just normal peace deal. anyone in the war will get points based on their contribution to the war, regardless of factions, even if they're at war with each other

[tribal skiff]

Great, that's something at least. So I should just hang on until that happens

[light knoll]

also. ideally you'd make collab governments on the soviets

that is very important

[true tapir]

best soviet path?

[sour mountain]

yay

[light knoll]

it'd make capping them a lot more achievable and give you compliance

[tribal skiff]

Nah, didn't have the resources to do the spy agency nor any research facilities

[light knoll]

well do it now

[tribal skiff]

Yes, I am starting with that, but it takes time and halts all my other builds severely (around 22 civs)

[rain iris]

If you use the first slot of a small plane for torpedo for naval strikes, will adding bomb locks increase naval attack more or will it stay the same?

[bright briar]

Hello,how can I remove for example the soviet union from the axis (Im not in the axis) with commands

[hollow linden]

Stalin in vanilla

[light knoll]

eval_effect [<country tag>] = { remove_from_faction = [<country tag>] }

[true tapir]

even if i have dlc?

[hollow linden]

Yea

Trotsky is still good though

Stalin is just better

[marsh trench]

How do you naval invade Britain with the gotterdam dlc? Im struggling, they always have naval supremacy

[hollow linden]

Trotsky has better output, stalin has better factory count

[hollow linden]

Make this from the start of the game

[marsh trench]

Will that give me naval supremacy?

Or destroy a lot of their ships

Cause the problem is they got too many damn ships

[light knoll]

you'll destroy their ships until you have enough ships to have naval supremacy

[bright briar]

somehow it just responds with "had errors compiling the effect"

[light knoll]

did you put the correct country tag and everything?

[bright briar]

I suppose so

eval_effect [<sov>] = { remove_from_faction = [<sov>] }

like this?

[light knoll]

you're not supposed to have the <>

its used to say this is where you modify it

[bright briar]

I also tried eval_effect [sov] = { remove_from_faction = [sov] }

[light knoll]

ah I see now that the second tag should be the leader of the faction

[bright briar]

ah

okay

thanks

[hollow linden]

If you build enough you should be able to fight the royal navy and get supremacy that way

[bright briar]

okay Idk but it still wont work

eval_effect [sov] = { remove_from_faction = [ger] } should be like this right?

[marsh trench]

How much would be enough? Cause they take a while to build.

[bright briar]

it just says this all the time

[hollow linden]

As many as possible

[jade sparrow]

is there any way that i can increase my special forces cap as Italy? I'm tryna use paratroopers so i can defeat france once i actually go to war

[hollow linden]

Make more divs

Or use the exploit

[light knoll]

for france specifically you can just use 2 widths

paradrop all VPs

immediately win

they don't need to fight

[light knoll]

hmmm

[marsh trench]

Ok thanks, also, where should I naval invade them, and should it be with marines or normal infantry?

[hollow linden]

Normal infantry should suffice I don't think you need to invest into marines

[light knoll]

oh. try the opposite. ger first sov second

[hollow linden]

Dover is fine

It's the simplest

And the least likely to get raided

[jade sparrow]

this is my template as of now

[hollow linden]

Or rather, it's easier to kill subs in the channel

[light knoll]

that won't paradrop

[hollow linden]

Yea that's not gonna drop lmao

[light knoll]

just use a single paratroopers battalion

and make like 8 of them

on all the important victory points

they'll immediately cap

[bright briar]

still wont work 🙁

[jade sparrow]

so single paratrooper and 8 divs right?

[light knoll]

idk then it should work unless im illiterate

[bright briar]

mabey it is an old command??

[light knoll]

yes

[light knoll]

try without the [] maybe?

[bright briar]

oh yeah Ill try

[jade sparrow]

I'm also unsure if i might have gone slightly overkill or just straight up dumbassery

[light knoll]

this is not a good template

don't use heavy tanks in single player, and don't use light tanks as battalions

you should be using medium self propelled artillery

half tanks half mechanized

or so

should look something like this

[native gorge]

Honestly my entire way of making templates is just "slowly put enough battalions until you reach 36 width"

[light knoll]

can use cavalry or motorized just as temporary placeholder until you get mech

[jade sparrow]

i only got tanks and motorized as of now, i was gonna go for the super heavy tank special project

[hollow linden]

If you don't have mech u can also use cav/camels

[jade sparrow]

which idk if its tagged

[hollow linden]

Iirc Italy has camels

[native gorge]

Anyways what specifically do i have to do to get the extra battalions, i keep hearing about doctrines but WHICH

[light knoll]

don't do that

heavy tanks are not good for singleplayer

[jade sparrow]

right

[hollow linden]

Depends on the grand doctrine.

What's yours?

[native gorge]

GBP

[calm forge]

what is this monstrosity 😭

a lil bit of this a lil bit of that ahh

[torpid ruin]

Hello there!
How correctly create new airplane template to new gen replace old gen in current squadrons? BBA DLC included

[hollow linden]

On gbp it's the inf doctrine, on sfp it's the support doctrine

[hollow linden]

You need to finish the sub doctrines

[south zephyr]

Why doesnt they invade? I got 2 divs assigned, enough naval supremecy, they have started and ships are assigned to strike force, patrol and naval support. Why? I got the new naval DLC

[jade sparrow]

listen ive only got hoi4 for a month and barely know how to invade ethiopia

[native gorge]

So just complete the entire subdoctrine and you get it? Like any infantry subdoctrine works?

[light knoll]

do you have enough naval dominance?

[south zephyr]

713 - it doesnt say anything when i hover the "mission"

[native gorge]

Literally just

[hollow linden]

They do that automatically if you produce new planes

Unless you messed with the settings or something

[native gorge]

Send ALL your troops

[hollow linden]

Yes

[bright briar]

nope

[jade sparrow]

ik i said barely not not at all

[light knoll]

when you hover over the go arrow above the general what does it say

[south zephyr]

just the click to actiave, but i have clicked

[torpid ruin]

I created new one template with same role, but it don't comes to existing squads

[bright briar]

It also doesnt work with other countries

[hollow linden]

Well are you producing the new plane?

Do you have a deficit?

[hollow linden]

Your navy can't enter the Danish belt

Hence you can't get supremacy

You need to invade the tip of Jütland

[torpid ruin]

yep

[hollow linden]

For how long?

[hollow linden]

Like the yellow mark means that it can't move due to some issue

That issue being it's psysically unable to pass the belt

[south zephyr]

didnt know, but i figured out

[calm forge]

is 7500 battalions max in battalion limiter?

[native gorge]

(this is with a supply mod to make it less painful so take these with a grain of salt but-) Try to micro the victory points (hover over a city and find a silver circle with a star icon, thats a victory point) and get encirclements, once you complete both the north and south mission (assuming you went for Gaba and not moyale) you mass as much troops the supply allows you to on both sides to snipe their capital

Then just micro the victory points above 1 and you should have it done under 2-3 months

[jade sparrow]

are midget submarines worth it?

[hollow linden]

Nah

[native gorge]

Are subs even useful in single

[hollow linden]

500 km range

[jade sparrow]

ive got 1 naval breakthrough and idk what to get

[hollow linden]

Yea?????

Subs are great

They're even less useful in mp lol

Since they're a bit busted and basically impossible to kill if you do it right

[hollow linden]

Shbb

[native gorge]

I see

[analog maple]

can i get rid of this guy as fascist uk?

[jade sparrow]

ive also got another land breakthrough and idk if i chose the eng vehicle or the flame tank

or to save for the howitzer and/or the stronghold

[marsh trench]

I only produced 2 so far and its 30 Jul 1938

[hollow linden]

Did u do it from day 1?

Did you put all your docks on it?

[hollow linden]

Do one or the other

[marsh trench]

I needed some xp first, but yeah, did it as early as possible, I think mid 1937 or early

[hollow linden]

These dont matter

[hollow linden]

Yea that's too laze

[marsh trench]

I dint have xp

[hollow linden]

Make the design by end of 36

[hollow linden]

Well train your navy day 1

[jade sparrow]

i did have bad tank divs i might jsut make a flamethrower L3

[hollow linden]

Make medium

It's better

Also don't upgrade chassis beyond basic

[jade sparrow]

in all of the tanks or just med

[hollow linden]

All of them

Better chassis doesnt add anything thats worth losing efficiency for

[torpid ruin]

Sorry for AFK, enough long to have them on stocks. And in Production Window in bottom right of plane's pict there's a stock pict, not red cross.

[jade sparrow]

too late im already deving improv light

[hollow linden]

Check the air wings

They gotta be somewhere

[hollow linden]

Well don't lol

Just don't swap the line

[latent anchor]

SP artillery and tank destroyers are now much better, and are now meta in multiplayer
But in singleplayer? Should I just stick with medium tanks?

[hollow linden]

Spgs are better in all cases

There is a single case for normal tanks, which is if you're fighting under red air with no hope of getting green

But that's something you have to build for so

[latent anchor]

Ah I see

[jade sparrow]

does that count for tanks only or are air and ships also not worth it

[hollow linden]

For air it's more lax

Advanced air frame technically isn't bad

But that's only if you have range designer

If you don't then improved is just fine

For ships going beyond basic is also dumb

[jade sparrow]

ive made a basic large airframe capable of helping the spanish civil war all the way from Turin

[hollow linden]

.....

That's

That's not how that works

[torpid ruin]

They're on capital's airfield...
I think it's important that templates have the same weapon, but it strange. Fair warning, old and new planes can CAS

[bright briar]

does someone else mabey know how to remove a country from a faction with commands?

[native gorge]

Wait

[native gorge]

Are these for air volunteers?

[jade sparrow]

no its my main big plen

[torpid ruin]

'observe' take control and leave from fraction

[jade sparrow]

tho imma mainly use CAS and Fighters

[bright briar]

okay

how do I observe?

[torpid ruin]

command 'observe'

in notifications will be 2 new things

[bright briar]

um

and how do I take control?

[torpid ruin]

first to observe country, second to play as it

[jade sparrow]

i actually do have one in fiat. What to do with the planes now?

[hollow linden]

Uh no that doesn't matter. Whether they are replaced or not depends on if the old design has been decommissioned. That happens automatically when you make a new design

So idk

Just deploy the new planes in new air wings

[jade sparrow]

got it

[hollow linden]

Apply the MIO to the planes you design

[jade sparrow]

also is this any good for long range bombing?

[hollow linden]

This is ass

[torpid ruin]

Ok, thanks for your attention, I'm going to cheat to understand

[hollow linden]

What

The fk

[bright briar]

i got it thanks

[jade sparrow]

how to improve it?

[torpid ruin]

You're welcome

[hollow linden]

Only use as much thrust as you have weight, camera does nothing, the torp does nothing, only use heavy bombs, the extra turrets do nothing, the flying boat does nothing

[jade sparrow]

aight

[jade sparrow]

by heavy bombs do you mean large bombs?

[hollow linden]

Whatever the large bomb module is called, yes

[native gorge]

So like what happens when you put another trait while you have something produced from the MIO?

[hollow linden]

What?

Wdym

The MIO will automatically upgrade

But I suggest you turn that off since it messes with deployment

Only update the plane you're producing when the MIO is fully updated

So you only have to convert once

[jade sparrow]

This is what i came up with

[native gorge]

So like i produce infantry equipment with an MIO and then i add a trait while its being produced, what happens to the ones already made beforehand

[hollow linden]

Nothing

What will happen to the new one is that it'll create a new version every time you add a new trait

And that's annoying

[native gorge]

O h

[hollow linden]

So you end up with 20 billion versions of essentially the same thing

To avoid that, turn it off

[native gorge]

The MIO?

[jade sparrow]

is this any good or is it just as bad

[hollow linden]

Still too much thrust

You wanna match thrust and weight as closely as possible

[jade sparrow]

if i add more weight i cant do missions, if i do a smaller engine i also cant do missions

[native gorge]

so i just research stuff until i get good enough buffs then turn it on?

[hollow linden]

Upgrade to engine 3

Engine 2 is ass

[jade sparrow]

havent got it yet

[hollow linden]

No turn off the setting that automatically upgrades your equipment

You also grind MIOs by producing with them

[native gorge]

Oh

I see

[hollow linden]

It's much faster

[hollow linden]

Well then get it asap

[polar saffron]

Hello! I just downloaded the game, where do I begin to learn?

Its so complicated

😭

[jade sparrow]

it'll take me a whole year 💀

[polar saffron]

Oh damn

any good tutorials or guides?

[hollow linden]

The tutorial.

[hollow linden]

https://youtu.be/LbpWbSD6hEY?si=CK-qdiStOXChiHUJ

[polar saffron]

Alright thank you!

[marsh trench]

Bittersteel has great tutorials, and also guides on other countries also other than germany

[torpid ruin]

@hollow linden Found the problem. Planes must have the same missions to replace each other. For example: my old planes can't strike ports, new can, so they are not same

[jade sparrow]

just got panzer license from Germany while researching medium tanks, is this armored any good (i will change the tag dw)?

[torpid ruin]

It was stupid, I now)

[hollow linden]

What? What does the mission have to do with this? No of course they need to be the same type of plane

Oml

[hollow linden]

This is ass

[jade sparrow]

what to do?

[analog maple]

can i get rid of him as fascist uk?

[jade sparrow]

@hollow linden

[hollow linden]

This

[jade sparrow]

i got

tanks only

[hollow linden]

No I know what you meant, but if you say "missions" I think the missions they're actively on

Not the ones they can perform

Cuz if those are different, the types of planes are also different

[hollow linden]

Yea those are different types of planes lmao

[torpid ruin]

Sorry, my bad. I'm not good at En HoI terminology

[hollow linden]

Why are you surprised they can't be in the Same wing?

[jade sparrow]

is there any alternative when i only got motorized, light and medium tanks?

[hollow linden]

Make spg and use cav or camels instead of mech

Motorised is ass

Never use it

[jade sparrow]

where's the SPG in the tech tree?

[hollow linden]

It's the tank role

[torpid ruin]

I thought that 'type of plane' is Fighter, CAS, Bomber and etc. and this is displayed under name of template

[hollow linden]

You need to use any of the howitzer guns and then change the tank role in the design itself

[jade sparrow]

i dont see it

[hollow linden]

It's not an extra research

[hollow linden]

Do u have nsb

[jade sparrow]

think so

[hollow linden]

Oh my god 🤦‍♂️

This is a problem I have never seen in 6000 hours of playing

You somehow managed to make 2 planes of the same type that do completely different things

[hollow linden]

So u have all dlc

And you have the tank designer

[frosty urchin]

One little question
Does the Yugostrat still work?

[hollow linden]

Which one

[jade sparrow]

i got all designers but not all dlcs

[hollow linden]

OK so u know how it says at the top "medium tank" in the designer

Click on that

That's how u change the tank role

[jade sparrow]

i got it leased from germany while i research it myself

[hollow linden]

Bruh 💀

[jade sparrow]

as in production licenses

[hollow linden]

Dont license AI

The fk

That's like the worst thing you can do

[torpid ruin]

Just experimented with weapon's modules

[hollow linden]

Oml

[jade sparrow]

oh 💀

[frosty urchin]

Germany rising world tension to make Yugoslavia join axis and apply further directive 25°

[hollow linden]

No clue

Never played yugo

[jade sparrow]

i just casually pupetted yugo as italy but also no idea

[frosty urchin]

No, you play like Germany be at war with the little entente

[hollow linden]

I said I don't know

And I don't want to know

[frosty urchin]

Ok

Anyways I think it doesn't work no more

[rain iris]

I them all at the peace deal but they all became supervised states instead of puppets, why is that?

[hollow linden]

Because democratic countries can't make other puppets

As democratic it's ironically always best to annex

[rain iris]

oh and then release them as a puppet?

[hollow linden]

I guess so

But why

Annexing is better outright

[rain iris]

don't you lose a lot of manpower that way?

[hollow linden]

So what

You have enough

Also it's not that much

What's your garrison law

[rain iris]

civilian oversight

[hollow linden]

Go on local autonomy

[rain iris]

is there a way that i can make these supervised states puppets again?

[finite zodiac]

hello there guys so ever since i updated the game to latest version from fit girl every time i wann play a game with my freind i dont have a server ID for some reason i repeat the game is pirated from fitgirl tag me if you have a solution and thanks.

[hollow linden]

Nope

[hollow linden]

Bro 💀

[jade sparrow]

aight im ready for the paradrop but im struggling

[hollow linden]

Server rules

[jade sparrow]

how to plan

[hollow linden]

Ofc if your game is not bought from legal sites it won't work, but don't mention piracy again

[finite zodiac]

ok sure

[jade sparrow]

how do i plan parachutes i literally got no idea

[finite zodiac]

you put the paratroopers at the air base with atleast 50 transport planes for 1 paratrooper division and then you click on the division and then press the parachute button

[jade sparrow]

50?

[finite zodiac]

yes its 50 planes for each division

[jade sparrow]

guess i gotta get grinding

i already got 50 planes and it didnt work

[finite zodiac]

ok then probably a 100

because they changed it

[jade sparrow]

yeah too late i already declared war

[limpid prairie]

should i bomb british navy from start of the war?

as germany

[languid trout]

bomb their submarines

[limpid prairie]

why

[languid trout]

why would u want to get convoy raided

[limpid prairie]

ah ok

can i select to bomb only submarines?

[untold notch]

dont think so

use naval strikes and your planes will engage all ships

[serene karma]

No but it will favor subs

[sacred patrol]

why is it every time i try to set my division template it sets back to basic after i saved

[solemn cypress]

Why can't I auto design some tanks, planes, or ships?

[sacred patrol]

do you have the dlcs?

[solemn cypress]

Yes all of them

[glad imp]

probably because they have no role assigned, like CAS, Fighter etc.

[solemn cypress]

Okay I'll try that next. Same goes for ships?

[glad imp]

I think so, you just gotta add some stuff so the game knows what you wanna get out of it. Never used auto design myself tho

[solemn cypress]

kk

[slate cedar]

what are good beginner countries? (no germany please)

[solemn cypress]

I've always had a ton of fun with Hungary/Austria -> Austro-Hungarian Empire
Italy -> any non historical
USA but handicap so you cant actually engage until around 1945

[slate cedar]

thank you bro 🙏 why non historical for italy tho?

i've heard non historical is pretty hard for beginners

[solemn cypress]

Historical Italy with the Mussolini stuff sucks because if you lose 1 province the timer starts ticking and it gets annoying. I havent done italy in a few months so maybve it got patched, but I always liked the ahistorical stuff for them

Even just the other branch of fascism

[glossy breach]

Are all the mods out of date with the latest expansion. I was considering downloading Millennium Dawn, but is there any point?

[glacial steeple]

wdym its where you ask for help

[slate cedar]

ah i see thank you

can anyone explain navy to me?

[bitter fulcrum]

Hey, I am new here, me and a friend have been playing as Germany. Our problem is that we are completely unable to send invasions to Britain. Does anyone know how to do it?

[glossy breach]

Win the air and Navy war

[hollow linden]

Make these

[slate cedar]

these seem really expensive

[hollow linden]

The shbb is

[slate cedar]

seems like something only germany would be able to make

[hollow linden]

But you don't make a lot of them

Like 2 at max

[hollow linden]

Germany doesn't do shbb

It only does the light cruiser

[fierce fox]

anyone knows any cheap early offensive SP template?

[slate cedar]

ah i see ty

[hollow linden]

The shbb is for Japan and USA, maybe Italy if they commit

[slate cedar]

what about minors?

like turkey and poland or smth

[hollow linden]

Just make the light cruisers With like 10 docks

[hollow linden]

Neither have good dockyard space

Definitely not Poland

Turkey maybe

[slate cedar]

how is this important?

[hollow linden]

Support companies can be ditched

[hollow linden]

Cuz u need places to actually build the docks?

And steel

Very important

Poland has basically none

And by the time you get steel the game is basically over

Turkey is the better choice here

Since they can actually use the navy

[slate cedar]

true

thank you bro

[hollow linden]

Np

[glacial steeple]

not all nations are the same

its kind of rare to have a minor power that plays the same as another

turkiye is probably the most free minor power in gameplay

you have good MIOs for everything

air, i think navy, tanks

[slate cedar]

yeah but isnt turkiye really unique to play?

with ataturk dying and then all the stuff after that

[glacial steeple]

most nations are

[bitter fulcrum]

How?

[glacial steeple]

the US and USSR are good opposites

[slate cedar]

sorry if its a stupid question but how is playing for example romania and hungary any different from eachother

[latent anchor]

Steal enemy fleets 💯

[glossy breach]

Concentrate on building 1940 planes and lots of subs as early as possible

Does anyone know why my naval task force always fail to patrol two adjacent sea zones at once? I have two task forces and none of those is repairing.

Does it have anything to do with the ship type itself?

[fickle barn]

can anyone tell me what map mod is this

[glacial steeple]

hungaryvhas aluminium, can do SPGs, has formables

romania is usually stuck to infantry due to lack of resources and shouldnt seriously consider air/SPGs

[slate cedar]

how do you know what type of troops your country should produce?

[glacial steeple]

look at your resources abd look what you have buffs for

its that simple

air always takes a lot of research + aluminium + preferably a lot of factories since you need to outproduce losses always

range MIO is goated, generic MIO is trash

everything in between is mid

for tanks fast tank MIO/medium tank MIO are the worst

but inf tank/spg are best

for infantry its rare (afghanistan kyber pass) to have a special good MIO

but its good for fielding manpower cheaply

just filling the combat width or attempting to usually wins early wars

pre late 38

if you have a lot of steel, chromium, tungsten its good for tanks

if you have research (2-3+ slots on air) , aluminium, rubber you do air

air is like a bully feature

it doesnt punch upwards because you wont have enough fighters but it punishes nations without air badly

i can tell you what resources a specific region has, but MIOs and focus tree buffs are all country specific

and industrial capacity is too

[slate cedar]

thanks bro 🥲

[slate cedar]

you see the buffs at the leaders portrait right?

[glacial steeple]

uhh yes

but usually just read through

[slate cedar]

alright ty 👍

[topaz yew]

idk how people make the soviet china huge by may 1937, it took me 6 months to take beiping

maybe it was because of mutinies

[neat goblet]

does anyone know why? 😢

[glacial steeple]

manually justify

[glacial steeple]

patrol is always 1 zone at a time

[topaz yew]

does that not mean the nationalist china will beafter me?

i thought youhad to do it before then

[neat goblet]

but my other naval group can manage to patrol two zones with two taskforces..

im really confused

[fickle barn]

can someone tell me what map mod is this and what is the best map mod for fps

[glacial steeple]

1 task force per region, if you set a taskforce to multiple theyll pong around zones which is bad

[glacial steeple]

no

[topaz yew]

ah okay, i thought they formed the united front

[glacial steeple]

in like a year or two

[topaz yew]

not 1937?

[glacial steeple]

yeah thats a year from game start

sometimes 38

[neat goblet]

yea i know, but look, it says there is one taskforce assigned in east micronesia sea, but the naval supremacy is at 0%.

[topaz yew]

oh im on japans side

i think ill try again then since i cant stop the japanesse

[neat goblet]

soo why do i have 0 supremacy even tho its already patroling..?

[left glacier]

Naval dominance is a gradual build up. It isn't instant like the previous naval supremacy system

[neat goblet]

The problem is its not gaining ANYTHING. Even if I put two taskforces all in this one seazone.. idk why..

[left glacier]

You may need to split off more ships for patrol

[neat goblet]

this is what I have rn..

[left glacier]

Yeah. You need more task forces to split

2 isn't enough

[neat goblet]

ah ok

so I cant really do one taskforce per seazone?

[left glacier]

You can, but you would need more task forces to cover more sea zones
