[fathom grove]

i am just wondering if there is any way to soup up my infantry since i have pretty limited manpower

[plucky otter]

Good support companies and rush 1939 and 1943 gun

2nd option is cheaper on manpower

[fathom grove]

what companies should i have?

[glacial steeple]

mech is good

higher hp, less losses dirwctly

higher hardness too

[fathom grove]

alright i will go into it

[violet maple]

has anybody played the rise of nations mod here

i made this thing but for some reason i cant make units with it

it doesnt show up

[tropic seal]

flame tanks, assault engineers, support aa, field hospitals and reocn rangers / logistics (if going IE)

[jolly escarp]

gulp

[misty wagon]

anyone know why i cant attack bourborn france

it wont even let me make a front line on it

[glacial steeple]

its impassable

[misty wagon]

what dioes that mean

is there any way for me to take it

[tropic seal]

troops cant move into there

its the sahara desert

[misty wagon]

how do i take it

[tropic seal]

is that the only piece of land bourbon france has left?

[misty wagon]

beside a small island yes

[tropic seal]

weird?

they shouldve capped by now

whats their surrender progress

theres no vps in that desert

[misty wagon]

they were there like 20 years ago 😭

when i took france

[misty wagon]

wdym theyr in my faction

[tropic seal]

holy 1966

[tropic seal]

oh

then why are you trying to take their land?

[misty wagon]

cuz im going for world conquest

and i need it

and they r useless

[tropic seal]

basically theyve captiulated but since theyre in your faciton theyre still alive

just kick them out

and theyllc apitulate

[glacial steeple]

return all of franxlce

kick from faction

justify

[misty wagon]

we gonna cook

[misty wagon]

whaaaa

how is a desert country still standing 😭

[glacial steeple]

france*

[glacial steeple]

oh

[misty wagon]

i already kicked them frick

[glacial steeple]

you just need to take corsica

[misty wagon]

oh

bet

[misty wagon]

any tips for USA

[misty wagon]

BTW is this logistic normal

how do i get more manpower

[tropic seal]

up conscription law

[tropic seal]

you dont need that many things

[tropic seal]

its the usa mate

do anything

[misty wagon]

yes but is all adults serve good

[misty wagon]

what should my divisions be like at this stage

[tropic seal]

well its not good

but you have no choice

so

you shouldve upped it ages ago btw

0 mp is really bad

[tropic seal]

depends on what youre using to push

[glacial steeple]

yeah

you should prob delete stuff for less game lag

[supple jungle]

I wanna play Japan

But every time I invade china I can’t push

And naval invasions always fail

[tropic seal]

send div templat

[glacial steeple]

why?

[misty wagon]

i might not be best commander but i sure can strategise things

[supple jungle]

They immediately reinforce the border in the north so I can’t push

[glacial steeple]

so youre not critting them?

and or not using air

[misty wagon]

57% war contribution and this is what i get bTW

[supple jungle]

I am

And using air

[glacial steeple]

units used?

rushed war?

[supple jungle]

Last run I did I went in sep 37 and nothing happened

Although I’m gonna do a game now and see what happens

[glacial steeple]

thats late

do the reinforce the garrisons focus

[supple jungle]

Ok

[misty wagon]

im so done

[misty wagon]

that looks nicer

[topaz yew]

hello, should i try to avoid this or is territory loss mostly inevitable?

[stuck garnet]

Hey uhh

How do pros usually have so much exp?

I see them with more exp than i can ever hope to use while im asking myself "do i spend on doctrines or do i want a tank division that i'd have to wait for mechanized to consider actually using?"

Is it off of attaches?

[stuck garnet]

I say defend on mountains/rough territory and try not to lose supply

[supple jungle]

which political path out of historical or monarchy is the better one for china?

[topaz yew]

yeah i was thinking that but theyre pushing me through mountains and are about to take 1 of my three supply hubs

[stuck garnet]

Player controlled peace conferrences?

[stuck garnet]

With what?

What are your templates

[misty wagon]

What

[stuck garnet]

What does your stockpile look like

[stuck garnet]

Its a mod

[topaz yew]

pretty much nothing, 4 infantry and 1sa, and i am down 4k guns

[stuck garnet]

Sa?

[topaz yew]

support artillery

[stuck garnet]

Idk i reccomend 8 bats

[topaz yew]

and half the numberof divisions?

[stuck garnet]

Usually 9

[stuck garnet]

If you dont wanna lose your stockpile when youre attacked yeah

Youre communist china im sure stalin will help you if the whites arent around

[topaz yew]

actually no i was lying, most of my divisions are 6 militias

yeaits historical

but the focus is pretty low

[topaz yew]

i dont think so, world tention will still be too low for a wwhile

[stuck garnet]

Fair

Idk i like china historically

Like china/japan

The conflict

You have a country of many vs a standing army

[topaz yew]

damn im still gonna lose alot of territory when i reset

[stuck garnet]

Ofc chiang didnt do that well sadly and then next thing they know two bombs get dropped on japan

And then china and the us proceeds to hate eachother for the next decades lol

[topaz yew]

yea i like it its just pretty hard

[stuck garnet]

Not denying warcrimes but bombing civillians is bad yeah?

[topaz yew]

a lot harder than the burn paper tiger mao path

so sad thatiwont be ableto nukejapan as china

maybe i could after they leave

should i declare onthemlater? im declaring in jan 1938 and idk if leaving it much later will causeproblems

damnyeah im gonnaloselandacess to soviets

[analog maple]

as japan should i do ichi go at the same time as the suprise attack or after the suprise attack fade?

[verbal flax]

are full mech divs a thing in mp?

[proven shell]

How do I beat the Ussr As germany is there a video

[vital plinth]

Hey guys has navry become useless in hoi4 ? I couldn’t find s purpose aside from naval invasionens many said infantry and tanks is what matters ?

I liked the navry battles stuff but idk it seemed very pointless waste to build

Also for civil war what happens to existing troops what decide who gets which troops ?

[proven shell]

hi

[steel bronze]

what would yall reccomend as a template as habsburg hungary

[pure zealot]

Anyone know how to access focuses that dissapear behind the Saadabad Pact? I feel like that focus tree is the bane of my existence whenever I play middle east 😢

[short loom]

yo anyone got a guide for how to survive as greece ?

[short loom]

update your game

[pure zealot]

I don't follow :3

[ionic ferry]

which is the best great war mod?

[supple jungle]

im gonna crash out why cant i beat china

[pure zealot]

Not enough air, poor devision templates. No Motorised Templates?

[deft yew]

Hello, I’ve started a Finland game and went the democratic/socialist path to get France and the UK to guarantee me. However, once the winter war started, I noticed they were no longer guaranteeing me. Why is that? I’m holding sorta-fine against the Soviets since I also formed the Nordic Defense Force.

[supple jungle]

well u are right, but how the hell am i meant to get air when i have no factories to build planes and the ones i have are used to slowly fix my defecit

[pure zealot]

Ok first off, are you Japan here?

[supple jungle]

yep

i shouldve specified

[pure zealot]

Ok, and China is shooting down your cas effectively?

[supple jungle]

im gonna restart

[supple jungle]

yep

[pure zealot]

Using anti air or enemy air?

[supple jungle]

no idea

effectively my cas was useless

[pure zealot]

It should tell you. Do they have air dominance over you? If you like we can hop in Helping Lounge 2 and I can take a peek at the game before you start a new one

[supple jungle]

ok sure

[pure zealot]

That tends to happen as world tension rises as far as I know

[deft yew]

Ok thanks. That sucks though, and feels kinda dumb, but alright 👍🏻

[sour wadi]

hey uh, my map doesnt have borders

did i click sumin wrong?

im on default map mode?

[pure zealot]

Wish I could offer a more concrete explenation

[pure zealot]

any mods?

[deft yew]

No problem. Game is complicated 🤣

[glacial steeple]

[pure zealot]

Casey might know something I don't though

[glacial steeple]

🇫🇮 ❌ 🇫🇮 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 🇫🇷

[pure zealot]

Girl put it in hieroglyphs xD

[pure zealot]

In case you need a ping to look at the channel, Casey provided an in depth explenation

[deft yew]

Ok thanks 🙏

[deft yew]

Ok I understand it’s because I got into a faction, and you can only guarantee independence of nations not in a faction 👍🏻 Thanks

[topaz yew]

i think ill try making an army of infantry divisions with 9 battalians, and waiting till theyre full to declare war on japan. hopefully it wont take too long so i dont have too large a front

[tropic seal]

Cas got nerfed heavily this patch

[fathom thistle]

So one AA is enough again?

[ionic ferry]

does anyone know why my great war original mod keeps crashing immediately after starting my game? i dont have any other mods downloaded

[tropic seal]

Not sure yet

[tropic seal]

Prolly ask in that mods discord

[deft yew]

Does force attack destroy your divisions if they lose a battle? I'm defending against the soviets as Finland and they are using Force Attack even though they might lose some of those battles. (Edit: nvm they can't lose because they can't lose organization)

[plucky otter]

Some map gfx mods are broken because of new update

Disable yours

[supple jungle]

tysm for the help i managed to beat china by 1939

[prime marten]

why do my divisions randomly drop in org

is there a new update or something?

[still harness]

are you moving them?

or maybe because the org from a doctrine got higher

so they "drop" but their max just increases

[prime marten]

it says the org gain is lower due to reliability

is that a new thing?

movement also

[still harness]

what's the average reliability?

[prime marten]

hmm the reliability thing is only for my tank divs (mainly ig but the inf has a much lower modifier) so it doesnt rlly explain it

maybe its just a think i didnt notice before but it feels weird

[still harness]

but do they drop a lot in org or just a little bit?

[prime marten]

some of my volunteer divisions just have low org when im attacking (its like desert and mountain terrain and they move around a lot so maybe thats it)

[still harness]

divisions when they use the railway as transportation drop their org to 10%, if they are just moving normally it's not that much but depends on doctrines and other factors

[latent anchor]

does infrastructure also affect factory conversion speed?

[deft yew]

It affects construction speed in general, so I would assume it also affects factory conversion speed. If you hover over your factory conversion time it should tell you.

[supple jungle]

is the starting japanese navy good enough for the rest of the game?

[deft yew]

Just checked in-game, seems like infrastructure indeed affects factory conversion speed.

[subtle rune]

Not really

[supple jungle]

great

well then

[glass widget]

why did the day/night button disappear and i cant turn it off now

[oak jasper]

The shortcut should be N?

[pliant condor]

yes

for uk usa and japan as long as you don't split your navy

you can just build convoy or subs for the rest of the game

[errant chasm]

This, I also assume you merged your navy into one fleet except for the subs and anti sub ships i guess?

[twilit swan]

So me and my friends are trying to play our moded playset and we all have the same mods and in the same order but my ver is 75a5 while theres is a differnet one and its not my first time running into this issue too so ive given up trying to fix iy myself so what can i do?

[noble summit]

my starting carrier air wings are not being filled up despite me having a ton of carrier airplanes in reserve, do i seriously have to manually put them in or am i missing something?

[tropic wolf]

Is the cannons good for cas is it worth researching singleplayer by the way

[noble summit]

old planes are not being replaced either, i have 80 mitsubishi zeros and they're still in stockpile

[dusty sandal]

these must be carrier-capable

[noble summit]

the zero is a carrier fighter

these are also sitting idly

[dusty sandal]

then you must deploy them on the ship first to create the airwing

[noble summit]

so they don't get replaced/fill up automatically?

[dusty sandal]

they do, but there needs to be an airwing to start of with

if there is no plane set up on carrier they won't go automatically

[noble summit]

also, should i tick this button, assuming i want the wings to always be on the carrier?

[noble summit]

ahh i see

[dusty sandal]

no

never tick this, ypu'll never ,need it

[pliant condor]

basically

[pliant condor]

yes but you don't need to put them there if you are not fighting navy

use your naval planes in china first

[wet crater]

How in the world do you form byzantium

Without turkey somehow getting guarnteed by somebody that proceeds to put greece into an unwinnable war versus a major

Instead of just turkey

[pliant condor]

turkey shouldn't be guaranteed?

just declare early

[wet crater]

They start guarenteed by romania

[wet crater]

Tried that

Multiple times

Each time somebody random somehow joined via nonsense

I tried on non historical too

Denmark guarnteed them and dragged france into the war

And on historical britain backed them

Which is equally unwinnable

Maybe a greece vs romania and turkey situation is more winnable

The problem is the time limit of, italy

The greek buildup portion of the run is actually quite doable

Crushing bulgaria before they join the axis, easy

But turkey

[pliant condor]

yes it should only be romania

[wet crater]

Is turkey

[pliant condor]

which is ntot major

?

just play on hist

uk cannot guarantee them unless through focus

when did you declare

[wet crater]

I tried to time it right after reconfigure turkish foreign policy

By using a spy to see their focuses

[wet crater]

The problem is if romania starts ferrying troops to anatolia

Since i need to break turkey before italy tries to fight me

[idle arch]

Why u keep leaving me on read

[pliant condor]

they can't

not in faction

[pliant condor]

ahhh sorry

[wet crater]

They wouldnt just, ask for mil access?

[glacial steeple]

ai does sometimes, but not always, much less always sends troops

they also care to garrison ports and vps

[wet crater]

And the bulgarian border if I puppet them before fighting turkey?

Because one idea is I puppet bulgaria before taking the horror and fear focus

To go to war with turkey

[glacial steeple]

horror and fear good

also you wanna annex bul because you core it no?

[wet crater]

The logic of puppeting is so the romanians cant advance via land

[glacial steeple]

yes but why care

[wet crater]

Because they guarntee turkey

[glacial steeple]

well yeah youll be at war

but youre overthinking it

[wet crater]

And I cant easily spare divisions to hold that border

[glacial steeple]

youre not gonna puppet bul because you core it

so you go turkiye first

then bul into rom

[wet crater]

It doesnt matter if I core it or not if I capitulate to turkey

[glacial steeple]

youll stay at war but romania doesnt naval invade

[wet crater]

Or romania

[glacial steeple]

why would you

[wet crater]

Because I get flanked via the bulgarian land border

[glacial steeple]

???

[wet crater]

By the romanians

[glacial steeple]

you go bulgaria later

after turkiye

bulgarian border is irrelevant

[wet crater]

Oh okay

Another concept idea

[glacial steeple]

you just go there to move to romania

[wet crater]

I somehow hit turkey with no guarntees up

[glacial steeple]

its actually good for bulgaria to build up

theyll make guns but cant make units

so you get more gun from annexing

[glacial steeple]

takes too long

afaik bittersteel does that but like

its romania

romania is not that strong

[wet crater]

Then when am I supposed to be hitting them

[glacial steeple]

like ASAP?

good to get stuff cored early

[wet crater]

The greek economy kinda, isnt an economy at game start

[glacial steeple]

okay

so you take other economies

[wet crater]

So I in prior runs have been trying to fix it first

[glacial steeple]

and also build a land facility

early wars also are predictable

youll know your vs enemy resources very accurately

the more time passes the less intel you have

[wet crater]

Romanias gonna have like, no manpower then

[glacial steeple]

the greek starting army and eco arent great, sure

[wet crater]

And turkey also kinda has no eco

[glacial steeple]

turkiye isnt either

so youre fine

they have to spend 5 trillion guns on kurdistan resistance which you core as soon as you take over

they have like no manpower and wont replace divs

you have mountaineers, you can damage their fleet in a battle so they dont project supremacy

[wet crater]

And I assume you can crush the turkish navy in the aegean

Since greece

[glacial steeple]

crush as in moderately damage them

[wet crater]

Actually has a navy

[glacial steeple]

because you 1: dont really want to kill it

and 2:it has the same effect

[wet crater]

Yeah I mean, ideally you want to steal the turkish navy

[glacial steeple]

just get into a battle

have your navy be always engage no repair

theyll retreat, repair

probably have ships alive

you dont repair and keep supremacy

and turkiye has like 1 dockyard so theyre not actually repairing

it takes a trillion billion years

[wet crater]

So you can just beatem once and control the aegean

[glacial steeple]

yes thats how it works

also just dont be silly

like support equipment production for example is a waste

[full prairie]

what dlcs should i buy for the game to be "complete"

is there a dlc pack?

[cold bloom]

Every DLC helps, though most people will prefer ones like No Step Back and Arms Against Tyranny

If you don't play much middle east, probably can skip Graveyard of Empires, if you don't play much south America, can skip that region's DLC, etc.
Personally I don't like By Blood Alone and think Battle for the Bosphorus is underrated if you use mods to fix it and get it on sale

But only get them on sale if you care about money, because they constantly go on sale

[upbeat arrow]

should i do alf landon until 1940?

<@&916727971820240976> what a fun nation to play of u don't have ncns but every other dlc aside it

[glacial steeple]

[uncut narwhal]

is it better to day 1 build a good tank design or to convert them later on?

[scenic nacelle]

No

FDR is the goat

And only goat

[idle arch]

No No Middle east nation like is Switzerland considered fun

[dire jackal]

what to do here?

[errant chasm]

Demobilized the economy

Will be good for your stability

[supple jungle]

or get enough war support

[river narwhal]

as afghanistan, is it better to do infantry or irregular?

[mental beacon]

do navy

[river narwhal]

sounds based

i might

[tidal meadow]

WHAT THE FOOK

[pallid iris]

Ships to win the second naval arms race as monarchist Germany?

[scenic nacelle]

Light cruiser

x40

[chilly sluice]

why is this naval region not accessible??? I swear this was never an issue before this weird update

[errant chasm]

Spam torp destroyers

[wet crater]

Is stealing ships an option?

[ashen sigil]

Can someone suggest a good YT video of explaining each ideology you can play as and their buffs

[harsh bane]

Is this game possible to learn or do you need to spontaneously spawn with the knowledge

I play Stellaris and I say I’m a decent Stellaris player but this seems much harder

[wet crater]

Stellaris is absolutely impossible to understand

Hoi4 is learnable

[wet crater]

Try playing as the germans

They have a large industry, strong focuses, and manpower to work with

[harsh bane]

Really? This isn’t the first time someone said Stellaris is harder than HOI4

[wet crater]

No stellaris is nutty

I cant follow it properly

[harsh bane]

But everyone and even the game itself recommends I play as Italy

[wet crater]

I learned the basic stuff using germany

[harsh bane]

What’s the hardest part of Stellaris for you?

[wet crater]

All of it

It generally makes little sense to me

[harsh bane]

Maybe you just don’t like sci fi

[wet crater]

No the game mechanics are utter nonsense

I cant figure out how its supposed to work

[harsh bane]

How good are you at HOI4?

[wet crater]

Uh, I would like to believe i am decent

[harsh bane]

I’m not a pro at Stellaris by any means but I understand all its mechanics

And I can win a Stellaris game

[wet crater]

I am very competent at ck3, and can at least play eu4 properly

I have done a ck3 world conquest using nomads, but I havent tried on the new expanded map

And hoi4, as germany

[harsh bane]

Do you know how a fleet works in HOI4?

[wet crater]

Not properly

I figured out how to generally use it but thats about it

[wet crater]

By just capping all majors by 1941-42

[harsh bane]

I heard that even players with 2000 hours (I have 1000 hours in Stellaris) can’t understand how a fleet works

[wet crater]

World conquest isnt worth your time, dont bother, I just wanted to say I have done it

[austere roost]

hours mean nothing if you refuse to learn

[wet crater]

Yeah I have the extreme basic concept of how a navy is used in hoi4

[harsh bane]

You did a world conquest?

[wet crater]

For hoi4 and ck3

[harsh bane]

And yet you say you aren’t a pro?

[wet crater]

I want to do another ck3 one once I can figure out how to get functional performance on my thinkpad

[wet crater]

At hoi4 absolutely not

[harsh bane]

I feel obligated to learn this game because I spent a lot of money on it

[wet crater]

At ck3, I have pulled immensely stupid nonsense that I would consider very high level play

[wet crater]

Because i did it as the litteral easiest possible nation

[wet crater]

Learning ship design in sp is, debatable

Like i still dont fully get how to make a tank division

[harsh bane]

Sp?

[wet crater]

Simply because infantry works

[wet crater]

Single player

But I would like to understand how to use armor

To become more efficient

[harsh bane]

I would like to understand how to play the game

[wet crater]

Germany

I am telling you germany is the best spot

[harsh bane]

Well I can win basic wars but I still have a lot to learn

[wet crater]

Thats something

With germany you build up for like 3 years

Anchluss, then eat the czechs

[harsh bane]

I can win in Ethiopia though I still think I’m not doing it fast as possible and I can barely get encirclements

[austere roost]

tbh ussr is better to learn tanks because you get 2 more years of time before the war

[wet crater]

Then do danzig or war, and then crush poland, around the magniot, dec on the dutch, not belgium, then eat the dutch, then fight belgium and cap france

[wet crater]

Ethiopia isnt really a matter of as fast as possible

Its just winning fast enough so that you actually get a peace conference

Instead of being technically at war with them until the end of time

[harsh bane]

Yes I did get a peace conference

[wet crater]

Then you wait a bit

Then go fight the soviet union

Or I guess you could fight them earlier

But the minor buildup time is good

2 full army groups of good infantry are enough to flaten them with air power

Also try not to get naval invaded, you arent sealioning without stealing the french fleet via making a collab regime that annexes vichy for free

And without pocketing the red navy from the soviets

Ideally, you then sea lion before japan brings the us into the war, so you get a peace with the allies

Then you naval invade japan, land invade china after

And invade the us via canada with 5 armies for good measure

then boom

Games won

[wet crater]

Yeah I havent touched them

Their focus tree is so large

Its kind of intimidating to look at

[austere roost]

it's not as large as turkey's or italy's

ah the old joke of pre-nsb that turkey's focus tree is bigger than ussr's and italy's combined

and tbh if you follow stalin's path it's pretty easy to follow

just take the purge path, don't do the center and left side of stalin's sub-path, and mix in industry and address internal affairs focuses

[echo breach]

really niche question: which countries can declare war on kuwait using their focuses? Are iraq and iran the only ones who can do that?

[uncut narwhal]

in single player tanks are pretty easy

you just need sa and break

and some armor

[cold bloom]

Afghanistan has a silly focus where they get wargoals on basically the entire middle east\

Other than that, yes, I think

[rugged isle]

what should my next move be? probably denmark and norway right?

[rugged isle]

thank you, i like it when i get words as an answer and not a puzzle

[harsh bane]

How do you know if you haven’t defeated Ethiopia in time? Will the game still say you are at war?

Ok now I know for sure I defeated them on time because my game says that I’m not at war

[analog maple]

does the amount of equipment i have change the speed stat? like if my division have 100/200 trucks will it be half the speed?

my nuclear strikes keep cancelling the second the start them, any help? for more info: im germany and im tryna nuke puetorico and i control cuba and jamaica (where im launching the raid from)

i have air superiority too

[pallid iris]

Figured it out, it all kinda solved itself

I made some really bad cruiser and it took ages to produce but it worked

[wet crater]

Oh

I actually need to do that

I forgot to back raeder when I did monarchist germany

Because i think if you promise raeder stuff and then ignore him he coups the government

So your lead by an admiral

[pallid iris]

Yes, you need to placate the kriegsmarine in the civil war and not do the focuses in the timed decision

[wet crater]

Got it

[neat widget]

I don't think that should be hard tbh

[wet crater]

Yeah honestly

I just went with the go beat up france and soviets for boats route

[pallid iris]

My previous runs were stopped by Britain having a greater navy and me not being able to get through that

[wet crater]

Trick there, steal the red navy

The death stack in the channel

[neat widget]

also naval bombers

[wet crater]

And sit back and drink a latte

[neat widget]

make the channel uninhabitable for british ships

[pallid iris]

Soviets is a whole errand, have to take france before they go french soviet pact

[wet crater]

What?

No you fight the soviets before you bother with the schieffen plan

Since they get no allies

And can be curbstomped easily

Since their armies suck

Never tried it, I just kept my expansion westward for the achievement

[wet crater]

Might be a lot of them but they are worse quality so with 2 army groups you stomp them

Its even easier if you get all of poland from them rejecting your brest litovsk demands for land

[sour mountain]

how do i get rid of chiang

[wet crater]

Since you just run them over

And take everything

[wet crater]

Easiest if they accept the first, reject the second

Since the first makes everything connected

So you just slam them along one front

[harsh bane]

Later tonight can someone please VC and guide me through forming the Roman Empire?

[heady skiff]

In the great war redux. Is there ANY hope of beating the balkan league and rebuilding fast and strong enough to make a difference in the great war?

[harsh bane]

Yes, if you use nuclear infantry and plutonium tanks

[heady skiff]

I beat the Balkan league (I was NOT surrending cus sunk cost fallacy and shi)

But Im not too sure im rebuilding in time for ww1 ;-;

As its september 1913 and I have like -20k guns

And relying on my 12 mills and british investments to rebuild ;-;

[harsh bane]

I still have no idea the logic behind having negative amounts of equipment

[heady skiff]

Some divs dont have guns?

Like if you lose your gun or it breaks it wont be replaced

Like real life if there is a lack of guns

[harsh bane]

Oh makes sense now

[heady skiff]

The ottomans usually join the Great war in late 1915 right>

?

[analog maple]

any way to make this divion faster early in the game (around 1937)? fastest i got was only 12

[echo breach]

u could try inter-war light tanks?

or are they not as fast?

[analog maple]

they only 7.5

[pliant condor]

doctrine

maybe

[analog maple]

thx. do you know with one the fastest?

[pliant condor]

i don't actually know

just search for speed modifiers in the doctrines

surely there's some

[echo breach]

is the hoi4 wiki currently down or something? I cant load a single page. Other sites work just fine

[raven maple]

O nah that’s cursed

[echo breach]

oh nvm it loaded, just very slowly

[raven maple]

I went monarchists Germany btw

[heady skiff]

Ok it was ALOT easier than I thought

[echo breach]

Thanks, mind telling me what this funny focus is called?

OH nevermind found it

[heady skiff]

Can someone tell me how to remove this silly little debuff as the Ottomans in the great war redux

[oak jasper]

If you have the chromium, wouldn't it make sense to have carrier aircraft use jet engines? As I see it, they're mostly for intercepting aircraft going at the fleet itself.

[fathom grove]

hey does anyone know what doctrines/subdoctrines i should get for a cavalry/mech run?

[dawn hill]

Hello, is naval auto reinforcement bricked since the latest update? I setup a new taskforce template and it doesn’t draw from reserves any longer to make the template up..

[fathom grove]

does anyone have any good templates for motorised/mech/cavalry

i know its not meta but i am doing a poland run

[errant chasm]

36 width mech/cav

[opaque garden]

yes go coddack king

pick grand battleplan

mounted inf

that one supprt doctrine i think its called motories recon and shi

infantry support tanks

and guerrilla war

trust me bro

best doctrine choice

[cobalt hinge]

How im im supost to counter this

[dusty sandal]

it's really easy actually,
1 - have good planes
2 - have supply and fuel
3 - have suffient airbaises with a reasonable range to use planes from
4 - admire AI's uselessness in its designs
5 - win in 2 months

for you to be losing this bad, you must be using the default bf109 design which is absolutely horrendous (game's fault) and extremely outdated (your fault for not researching up to date tech)

[cobalt hinge]

are these that bad?

[oak jasper]

AI designs are often so bad that I kinda want to return to "no plane designer", because if the AI can't design planes, the AI can't royally screw up designing planes.

[light knoll]

these are terrible yes

cas is cas and fighter is fighter

don't have machine guns on cas and don't have bombs on fighters

don't have more thrust than you have weight

[daring osprey]

I use 9 mech with 3 motorized arty

As suppots I go for logistics,arty,AA,assault engineers and radio

They get the job done

[light knoll]

this is what cas and fighters should look like

[vital plinth]

Can someone help me ? I can’t create a faction as non aligned says I need nation spirit for it ?

[errant chasm]

sorry I thought you were asking if those templates were good

my mistake, I deleted all the reply messages to you Haafr

[glacial steeple]

???

[light knoll]

every nation needs a national spirit that allows creating factions to create factions
uk us ussr and Germany start with it, most others can get it im their focus tree. not always in all paths tho

[light knoll]

?

[light knoll]

lol

[vital plinth]

Is there a way for me to find out how to unlock one ?

[errant chasm]

but also I think using Bomb Locks and replacing the Non-Strat Material usage would be better under yellow air.

[vital plinth]

There is a big focus tree path that needs me to create faction I’m missing out on a lot of buffs unfortunately atm playing as Denmark went monarch path

[light knoll]

you probably shouldn't be having yellow air against the ai in most cases

[light knoll]

use the search function in the focus tree

search "create faction"

see what focuses give it

[cobalt hinge]

how do i win against england i cant push them back when i land

[modern kestrel]

Can someone please tell me what this menas

Current size more than four in what

[tepid umbra]

MIOs have a size

that's likely what that means

[modern kestrel]

Whats MIO

[tepid umbra]

do you have dlcs

[modern kestrel]

Yes

All of them

Oh

I get it now thanks

[modern kestrel]

So wait can increase the size or downgrade ?

[tepid umbra]

it says more than 4

so just level up the MIO that is listed there

[modern kestrel]

Ok thanks

[hasty belfry]

What combat width should I have for a division that only uses armored cars for its line battalions?

[light knoll]

36

[hasty belfry]

Ok, thanks.

Should I use support arty?

[light knoll]

armored car is pretty terrible anyways butbi assume you know and just doing it for the funny speed

[light knoll]

sure you can

[hasty belfry]

Or is the penalty to already low org not worth it?

[hasty belfry]

Yeah.

Also, would field hospital add enough HP to be worth it?

[light knoll]

probably

use the doctrines that give org

[hasty belfry]

Armored cars count as motorized for that right?

[jade sage]

How do you guys usally invade the ussr

It feels super hard cuz they have such a large army from the start

I do it and then immediately I can’t advance more then a few tiles

[tepid umbra]

nope

[tepid umbra]

tanks

and planes

[hasty belfry]

Oh ok.

[jade sage]

What combat width?

[tepid umbra]

36

mix it with mechanized

[jade sage]

Okay

[tepid umbra]

use spgs, specifically btw

but they're technically tanks

[jade sage]

How many planes do I need over the ussr?

[tepid umbra]

fighters, usually 1.5x

[jade sage]

Or over 1 spot usally

[tepid umbra]

the ussr very rarely has many fighters

it's quite simple to out produce them

cas is what does the dmg btw

[jade sage]

It says they have like 2500 fighters

Unless I need to have like a lot more

I have like only 1000

[harsh bane]

My game bugged and I can no longer see the day night cycle (no I’m not at max speed)

[tepid umbra]

look in the bottom left

[harsh bane]

Thanks (no idea how it got disabled in the first place)

[vital plinth]

Anyone who has played Nordic countries can help me out ?

[wise roost]

I just played Finland but yea

Nvm would be a late respond

[fossil rain]

what do I do here

Im tryna unite china as the communists

[wise roost]

Do you think you can do the hard way?

Well you take the risk

No risk no fun

[fossil rain]

oh i end up attacking them? im tryna go historical

so maybe demand apology

[wise roost]

If you leave the Chinese United front then you can go against them

[wise roost]

Whatever benefits you

Because if you wait too long the AI gets stronger

They have bigger industry etc.

[fossil rain]

I see...what happened historically tho...Will I gain more land as in support from decisions in the future?

[wise roost]

No clue tbh

[fossil rain]

mhmm

[wise roost]

If you gain land through political decisions or war

But I can tell you don’t wait too long

[fossil rain]

mhmm

gotcha

do u know if I white peace with Japan if I leave United Front?

anyways, Ill just save it here (im not playing ironman mode), and just pick both decisions

just to see what happens

[wise roost]

Oh yes then go on if

Ig

[fossil rain]

mhmm, anyways, Ill see, thanks

[lapis wasp]

When playing french empire on historical, is it better to focus on italy or germany first when you join the war?

[wet crater]

What i found that seems to work

You eat the benelux

Then refuse the sudenten demand and let germany fight you and the czechs

That line plus heavy specing into air power

Works

Let them slam into you and take a ton of cas damage

Then gun for encirclements once they weaken themselves enough, and obviously you want the czechs to hold out

[lapis wasp]

should I save italy for the end then?

[wet crater]

Ideally

You crush the germans before italy even joins the axis

You can then proceed to take the hochseeflotte and crush italy and even britain at your leisure

In theory

In practice having manpower as france is hard

[lapis wasp]

wait, so do I need to join the war in 1938?

[wet crater]

Least with that strat

Yes

Its actually kind of better if you go fast

Since it prevents the german ai from building up as much

And france has a large starting army

You actually dont need to train new divs to win that way

The starting army converted to the french 18 width infantry is enough

Obviously add support anti air though

[lapis wasp]

ok thx i’ll try that

[wet crater]

Be careful though, france is quite time limited with this method

You have to make sure everything is done on time

Germany can still fight back and britain will not help you

[lapis wasp]

would you recommend building forts?

[wet crater]

Also I have heard of a concept where you go to war over the rhineland but I tried that

Didnt go great

I assume I am just bad

I cant reccomend it

[vital plinth]

My flame tank design is 5 soft attack and 17 break through is that fine for first tank I unlocked medium no modules yet

[wet crater]

Not really needed

[lapis wasp]

I think it’s because of the equipment deficit

[wet crater]

Probably

Also france has less mils than germany at the start

Realistically as france, you plop a little infra in the northern states, then all mils

You dont need forts if you just pound them into the groud with cas

You lose if you cant beat the luftwaffe

You need good planes, and you need them early

[lapis wasp]

doesn’t germany have a larger air force?

[wet crater]

At the start, but you get a minus 10% production cost modifier early on

Plus you have a quality edge

From actually designing your planes to not suck

[limpid atlas]

Is there a focus or something for Austria that allows me to more easily integrate my puppets (Austria-Hungary path)?

[wet crater]

I dont think modules are tech locked

[low vector]

anyway to get around declaring war when I have this faction rule? No one around me has generated at least 10% world tension

[wet crater]

Just remove it

[low vector]

remove it how?

[wet crater]

By, clicking on it

And spending the faction point

[low vector]

oh wow! I thought it had to be one or the other

[wet crater]

I made that mistake myself

No apparently it doesnt

The game just doesnt explain that at all

[wet crater]

How do you plan to survive the anchluss?

[limpid atlas]

Big army?

[wet crater]

I have wanted to play austria hungary but couldnt do that part

[wet crater]

Tried that

[wet crater]

But I was playing as hungary

Maybe for austria its different

[wet crater]

Please. please

Use generals

And put them under the marshal

[limpid atlas]

I'm not fighting anytime soon, plus I literally just got those divisions.

Mate, I have hundreds of hours in this game

I merely asked for a way to integrate my puppets

[wet crater]

Theres basically no reason not too, but seriously, does that big an army stop the anchluss?

[wet crater]

Yeah took a bit of brain processing

Yeah it definitely locks it

Because 18 times, that is

A lot more divs than germanys gonna get

[limpid atlas]

But I really need an answer to this

[wet crater]

I should try playing austria for austria hungary myself honestly

[limpid atlas]

I'd rather not have to use the base-game puppet annexing system. That would take me until like 1941-1942 to annex everyone.

[wet crater]

I figured as hungary it would be easier, i was just wrong

Wait doesnt that lock them from their war goals too

[vital plinth]

Im so confused im following a 10 month old guide to the point and for him Lithuania is being guaranteed by Poland and then no one while mine is by the Allie’s idk why

Makes no sense we are in the exact same date of time

[quartz bane]

why are all my colors gone whenever i play any mod

[wet crater]

How exactly do you take control of a strait the enemy controls both sides of

To prevent them from slipping out of an encirclement

[plucky otter]

Most modded map gfx are broken at the moment

[fossil rain]

I think all map mods broke when NCNS came out, or at least the latest major update for HOI

[plucky otter]

Then they were updated to support the changes NCNS made, now they have made more changes in the newest update breaking it all again.

[fossil rain]

oh, I didn't know that, I had to stick to FPS map mod for a little while cus the others wouldn't work, and that was really annoying lmao

are most still broken or did that happen some time ago?

[plucky otter]

I always either use FPS map or Darkest hour style

[plucky otter]

Most are currently broken due to newest update

[fossil rain]

I always use Darkest Hour

[fossil rain]

ohh ok, so it was recent tthen

[plucky otter]

The update released yesterday broke it all again

[fossil rain]

ohh yesterday?? interesting

yea that sucks

[vital plinth]

Why can’t I enter Iceland from Norway I’m being attacked by British ships but my troops reach the edge of the port then they recall ?

[balmy dawn]

From the patch notes...I've prayed for this day

New Features
MIO trait queues can now be saved between sessions

[vital geode]

DirectX issue?

[plucky otter]

Its an issue to do with the newest update and some map gfx mods

I've had the same issue with every single one of my map gfx mods, and its fixed once I disable them

[tepid umbra]

WHAT

yo that's amazing bro

[tepid umbra]

take one or both of the sides?

[wet crater]

Oh

[civic hare]

civs early as germany or mils

usually start with mils

[plucky otter]

Build infra and civs in the Rhine then nothing but mills

[civic hare]

k

[civic hare]

generally in the two demilitarized zones just infra and civs?

[plucky otter]

yes

Moselland and Rhineland

[tepid umbra]

erm

synthetic refineries!!!

[ashen sigil]

Is playing as Germany easier than Italy for a beginner

[fair topaz]

Yes, however, Italy gives you an early experience of fighting a war

Hence why it is the tutorial country but overall due to Italian incompetence and new players Italy is generally quite hard for new playees

[ashen sigil]

I reached WW2 as Italy and I completed each mission of Mussolini so I think I should start a Germany save now

I got the basics of the game

[jolly escarp]

why does everything go wrong in the ironman mode?

[cold garnet]

just bias

it goes wrong without ironman too

you just never make as big a deal out of it even if you cant or wont fix it

[jolly escarp]

maby

[fair topaz]

Yea fair fair

[fair topaz]

because it does, its the curse

[slow tree]

why do i have so little political advisors

like

[marsh trench]

Bro I cant win anymore as germany, everytime I try to naval invade UK, it is like they always know where and when I will naval invade, cause everytime I make a naval invasion plan, the UK already knows and sends over 100 ships in that sea where I will naval invade in, then I cant invade them cause they already destroyed all my ships. And when I remove that order and make a other naval invasion plan from a other sea, the UK will send all their ships there, like they already know.

[ripe pelican]

hey I just got the game and I'd like to learn how to play if someone is willing to teach

[jolly escarp]

why buy an expensive political advisor

[native gorge]

can someone explain why its saying convoys cant pass through here even though i literally have leningrad

[dense stone]

by any chance do your convoys have to pass any other strait which can be contested? Like danish belts?

[native gorge]

Nope, Germany is in its historical 1941 state

[dense stone]

did you restrict sea access? Maybe you've blocked baltic sea or smth

[marsh trench]

👆

[earnest tide]

Maybe im drunj but there literaly stands that your trade can pass no?

[native gorge]

I literally have the Neva river tho?

Like

The entire province of Leningrad is controlled by me

So unless there's something I'm not aware about

[dense stone]

What I mean is that when you select a sea, you can "Block" it, so convoys won't pass through it

including the supply ones if I'm correct

[native gorge]

I have barely interacted with the sea part of the game

[earnest tide]

What i do is prepear my invasion in east or west and send my ships wenn their ready works most of the time. Other solution would be para troups

[native gorge]

Just producing convoys and making ports, nothing else

Also I was responding to @earnest tide

[marsh trench]

Yeah, I also usually do the same, but the problem is, the UK always somehow knows where my Naval Invasion will go, and through what sea, so whenever I draw the invasion plan, the UK sends a bunch of ships into that sea where the naval invasion will go through, it is like they know.

[earnest tide]

Idk whats wrong but your trade schould be able to pass maybe its getting destroyed or you blocked the route for the convoys

[earnest tide]

You can also try building naval bombers so their navy gets destroyed. Or maybe try attacking west and east same time

[marsh trench]

I also do that, but still, but the UK always knows what I am doing, idk how man

[native gorge]

i usually never interact with blocking routes

and the former cant be the case since the soviets would have to go from the barents sea all the way to the baltics and somehow pass through the danish strait

[native gorge]

Also, TW: nonhist border gore

[earnest tide]

You also have enough convoys?

[native gorge]

(||It's much worse in China||)

[native gorge]

Ye

[earnest tide]

Weird

[dense stone]

is Finland in your faction?

it might be just a supply bug

[native gorge]

Mf

I AM FINLAND

[earnest tide]

Lmao

[dense stone]

I thought you were Germany

then it might be a supply bug

[hushed mauve]

how do i get control over english channel , i thought it may be a good idea to invade uk during 1937 but after declaring war on them i'll instantly lose english channel control and i can't even take it back

[raw magnet]

Rate my early tank template

[native gorge]

god the white is killing me, one of the few times i want to turn off the FPS map

[deft yew]

Hello, do I have any hope of the UK and France coming to help me as Finland? I got guaranted by them and now am in the allies, and the Allies are therefore fighting the Soviets too, but isn't the AI coded to not go into mainland europe until a certain point in time? If possible, I would also like to have tips on how to defend against the Soviets as Finland.

[hollow linden]

2/10 dont make tanks "early". Heck dont make tanks. Just make inf

[hollow linden]

Historical/Democratic finland really sucks

if you wanna beat the soviets, go fascist, annex the nordics, form nordic council and beat the soviets in the winter war

[hollow linden]

Puppeted Russia 😭

[deft yew]

Alright I'll try that. I did a Communist game once allied to the Soviets, so that was of course far easier since no winter war. Any tips to quickly take Sweden and Norway? Or are they just easy to beat with my starting army and their lack of a powerful army? (Edit: Nvm I annex them using the Keepers of the North focus after getting them in my faction I assume.)

[shadow flare]

should i place my navy in patrol?

cuz everytime i do they always gets slaughtered and never do any damage to my enemies ships

[hollow linden]

So basically, Finland gets decisions with which to either force a government change or join your faction for Denmark, Sweden and Norway. You can get Sweden and Norway through this and then just invade Denmark. If you have nordic countries in your faction, you have a focus to annex them. Yes really.

Its silly

[hollow linden]

Then obv don't

If it gets killed, maybe dont do that

[shadow flare]

then what

strike froce?

[deft yew]

Alright, thank you very much!

[hollow linden]

What are you trying to do?

[shadow flare]

i just want to have high naval superiority and be able to win ship battles

[obsidian wren]

If yoyr naval Invading Patrol is the only way to get dominance. Best thing is to spam disengage if you encounter the British fleet and set your ships to never engage never repair. Use submarines on convoy raiding in all other sea tiles except the one your invading in to divert the Ai fleet. If your caught too many times then it's gg.

[hollow linden]

Then you do wanna go on patrol but your fleet doesn't seem good enough anyway

So maybe get a better fleet

[shadow flare]

aight

[shadow flare]

ty

[obsidian wren]

Holy AA. That's an MP build Id guess

[hollow linden]

No that's just how you make shbb without making it 30k IC

U dont need a lot of heavy attack

[obsidian wren]

I usually do secondary batteries for sp but yeah

[hollow linden]

If you use more batteries it gets too expensive

Shbb is functionally immortal

[hollow linden]

That's fine too

Dual purpose is prob best for sp

[obsidian wren]

Ik I just did a germany game with them.

[native gorge]

Okay so like what's the difference between Recruitable Population and Recruitable Population Factor?

[obsidian wren]

Though for extra shred I added one extra heavy battery to maximize heavy attack and then light cruisers/destroyers for screens. Used the dockyard output focus to get it out faster

Not practical but fun

[hollow linden]

Recruitable pop is the flat percentage of your available manpower based on your core pop. Factor just increases that by the given %

So 2% recruitable pop modified by 10% pop factor is 2.2% recruitable population in total

7th grade math I'm crying

[hollow linden]

Might have actually done nothing but sure whatever

[obsidian wren]

I found compared to the other version it just destroyed them faster and less got away.

[hollow linden]

Hmm

[obsidian wren]

Was testing different builds was all

[hollow linden]

Oh well

Could've been any other variable, if you didn't account for those

Anyhow

[obsidian wren]

I tried the same fleet without the SHBB and it got destroyed by the new deathstacks. So I could rule this out

[hollow linden]

🤷‍♂️

Ok

[native gorge]

I see

[noble summit]

Will i get Onega, Olonets and Kola if i peace via decision?

[hollow linden]

I think so

But like u could just kill sov right now no?

[quasi dagger]

why am i not getting any navel domminace?

[timber vigil]

I am new and im playing hungary and im not getting any manpower what can i do

[earnest tide]

You need patrols

[quasi dagger]

ohhhhh

[hollow linden]

Strike force doesn't give dominance

[daring osprey]

Get your war supoort high

So you can complete some focuses that give recruitable pop

[timber vigil]

I see

Thanks

[small stream]

Is there any reason to build light or heavy tanks?

Because it seems like Medium tanks are the best all around when it comes to most guides I found.

[hollow linden]

Nah. For all intents and purposes, medium tanks are good enough

But even then inf is cheaper and performs about the same

Tanks are kinda unnecessary

Large inf divs just kinda destroy the game lmao

[subtle socket]

for mp u should if ur country excels at it

other wise vanilla is an inf checksum atm

specially bc of special force doctrines

[hollow linden]

Air check sum 😭

Sov can't play the game

[subtle socket]

been an air checksum since lunch by that concept by no air russia does fine

if logi strike is banned

[slow tree]

should I switch infantry equipment 1 for 2

[hollow linden]

if

[slow tree]

like all of it

[subtle socket]

pretty mucb always

[hollow linden]

Uh yea

Gun is the single most important upgrade in the game

[slow tree]

will it have to restock everyone?

[subtle socket]

playing in a lobby with logi strike allowed already has me down bad soo

[subtle socket]

?

the old ones u produced dont delete

[slow tree]

i meant switch from them

[subtle socket]

im confused by ur second question

the restocking

[slow tree]

so

all my infantry has eq 1

will they switch to eq 2 over time

[subtle socket]

yes

every battle u do and attrition they lose guns

and it gets replaced by the best stuff u have

[slow tree]

puppet, share with hungary or take the czech

[echo breach]

when exactly does this event happen and what does it do?

[deft yew]

Hello, I'm doing a fascist run as Finland. Should I join the Axis or not? There is a focus to do so but I can just do it through the diplomacy menu. Or I should I not join and just do Finnish Supremacy in the North?

[hollow linden]

U need your own faction to annex Norway and Sweden

You need to do supremacy in the north otherwise the strat I told you earlier doesn't work

[slow tree]

how do i get military experience? I have no one to send volunteers to

should I just invade poland

[wise heron]

axis have 14 million casualties but i still don’t know how to get through they keep pushing, im playing as anarchist spain.

[hollow linden]

Advisors

Get Franz Halder

[wise heron]

please help

[deft yew]

Oh yeah right of course. Thank you for reminding me.

[slow tree]

just got him

got italy in axis

[wise heron]

it’s 1943 and soviet’s have not invaded, if they would invade they would probably steamroll cuz germany many casualties but im afraid hitler will do an alliance with the soviets instead

[hollow linden]

I see no arrows drawn and do you have an air force of any kind?

[slow tree]

its done

im invading france

[wise heron]

arrows? And no i don’t have air force but i do have a ton of aa that kills like 180 CAS per month

the allies don’t want me in and they have not helped me anything

[hollow linden]

You have not drawn any offensive orders. Attacking without planning is kinda hard

Yea you need planes to be able to push. It's not about the cas damage, green air debuffs the enemy by up to 60%

It's kinda huge

[hollow linden]

180 cas per month? Lol

That's nothing

It's gotta be more

[wise heron]

yea smart will try that next time

[hollow linden]

Good

[wise heron]

they have a bunch of units and i’m not gonna attack with defense units, the one i have conquered south of france is by microing with 4 ASPG’s

SPAG’s**

[hollow linden]

What are your units right now?

[wise heron]

wdym?

[hollow linden]

What divisions are you using and how many do you have

Also, doctrines

[deft yew]

Should I pressure governments to change ideology/join my faction or do rallies in them? Pressuring seems easier to do no?

[wise heron]

6/0 with Eng, art and aa. then my attack are 12 infantry and 6 Spg with the same support

[slow tree]

quick question

[slow tree]

should i start invading france before poland?

[hollow linden]

Oh god. Yea inf is way too small, 24w is too big. Here's what you should do

[wise heron]

nah

[hollow linden]

Just do both

Poland is literally free

[slow tree]

is 24 units enough?

[hollow linden]

Yea ouch

This is bad

[hollow linden]

To hold France yss

[wise heron]

huh how is it bad?

[slow tree]

to invade poland

[wise heron]

nah i don’t want to push with them

my defense units are good

[subtle socket]

prob 50-60 inf for loland

poland

[hollow linden]
