you should have build them

just convert your tanks

and use them instead

soft atk is the most important stat in single player
spgs give the most of it

no need for welded armor or fixed turret

i scrapped it entirely

glacial steeple

so

rapid urchin
# uncut narwhal

normally for spg designs you need a fixed structure for the role

ig it dosent matter for heavy

uncut narwhal

rapid urchin
#

hes larping

uncut narwhal
glacial steeple
#

all that fixed turret does is disallow regular tank role

#

and allow higher tier gun

rapid urchin
#

interesting

glacial steeple
#

also kills your break

rapid urchin
#

and for light tanks?

glacial steeple
#

same thing

rapid urchin
#

light spgs need the fixed slot

glacial steeple
#

you can put medium gun if you have fixed

#

you dont

#

you can do csg spgs

and HV1 tds

its better for lights to have fixed because light guns suck

when playing a minor nation with low manpower, are light or heavy fighters a better choice?

acoustic zephyr

is this a solid design?

glacial steeple
#

it will die to bombers easily, because they attack based on ship hp and with a x4 modifier for capitals

#

its why people load up SHBBs with AA

#

it doesnt have many secondaries cannons if youre facing ai who puts no air up

#

so it suffers there too, since light attack is king

so i should slam it with light guns?

whats the best way to add fuel capacity without using up my tank module slots

do i just put random armoured support companies with fuel barrel designs

a recon/flame tank company with fuel drums will add 300 or 600fuel which last for about 4 hours with a regular tank div iirc

which is worthless

i need to work on my infantry i need help to turn them into attack infantry i don't need defense infantry anymore

fathom thistle
# opaque zealot

36w pure inf or 35w with line aa so you can free up your support slot - with this option I would either add flames tanks and sturmtruupers (replacing logistics, you are germany, both of the mentioned before will benefit you more) since you are Germany

dusty sandal
# opaque zealot

add a medium flame tank and light tank recon on which you stack tons of breakthrough on the design so that the divs gets enough

#

get 1943 guns as well

austere roost
#

ranger recon gives more buffs and you don't need to build light tanks

except on special forces where you can replace it, on attack inf, that's the only way to get a correct template

Hey is it normal when you’re about to make a breakthrough on a choke point and because you had to use all the troops on the tile to breakthrough you have to do a pinning attack and stabilize the front quickly so you don’t get encircled that you’re heart starts racing is that normal

Superior firepower grants buffs by maxing any of the sub doctrines regardless

#

I think if you want Line artillery do "Fire concentration"

#

It reduces arty combat width and grants buffs

wait

for new order

#

do i need to annex ussr

#

or can i just puppet it

Depends on the stats you want but fire concentration is the line arty sub doctrine

i was stuck on 1940 submarine for germany pls they ask me to add torpedo where can i find it😭

rugged isle

good space marine div?

#

just added a medium flame company aswell

dusty sandal
rugged isle
#

extra width from 26 to 30

dusty sandal
#

armor is too low as well
medium flame tank is very good, try to get more breakthrough on both the flame tank and the armor meme
use infantry to make it 32 combat width (if it's gonna fight in mountains) or 36w (optimal)

dusty sandal
#

just use inf

rugged isle
#

this is for sp btw

dusty sandal
#

but it's alright as a starter

dusty sandal
#

it'll pierce 20 armor

rugged isle
#

fr? thought they barely did in sp

rugged isle
dusty sandal
#

you'll get partial pierced up to 80% iirc, as long as you run into ai with at

#

they build it earlier on now

dusty sandal
rugged isle
dusty sandal
#

you must rush the 1940 guns too

dusty sandal
# rugged isle

that's not enough, 45 armor on div would be good, that's ass

rugged isle
dusty sandal
#

full armor clicks, use henshel MIO with armor upgrades, use armor skirts, sloped armor if needed (shouldn't be), add radio (lvl 23 minimum) and as many secondary machine guns as you have slots left
use diesel engine, don't invest into speed, you'll be capped at 4km/h anyway

dusty sandal
#

gimme a minute, gonna show you

rugged isle
#

i saw everywhere online daimler benz was best bc of their output?

#

sorry im pretty new

dusty sandal
rugged isle
slow tree
#

why cant I?

dusty sandal
#

this gives you 30 armor on your div

dusty sandal
#

flame tank, upgrade radio and gun (flametrhower 2) once you can

rugged isle
dusty sandal
#

this gives you 40 armor, which means you won't get pierced until 1943ish

dusty sandal
# rugged isle okay so how do i know when my armor and div armor are sufficient?

the armor stats is very straightforward, basically, AI will produce AT en masse about 1 year after their tech date, count about 1 year more for the old equipment to replace the new. So, by 1938, AI will be able to pierce about 24 armor, maybe more
in 1942 (2years after at1940 tech), they'll be able to pierce 38-40, by 1945 the AI will be able to pierce any armor meme

note that this only counts towards big nations like germany, soviets and US because they have a lot of industry
for countries with fewer factories, AI will produce way less stuff, meaning they'll be stuck at 20 piercing for years afterwards. Basically double the calculus

rugged isle
#

okay so on the tank template i should aim for about 80 armor minimum early on

errant chasm
dusty sandal
#

doctrines probably make it worthwhile still

rugged isle
#

should i use medium or heavy tanks?

dusty sandal
#

aim for 60 and it'll be alright

dusty sandal
rugged isle
#

so a mix of both is best

#

like tank divs heavies and space marines mediums

dusty sandal
#

no, do one or the other

rugged isle
#

okay

dusty sandal
#

ideally, when doing space marines you just spam it out

#

but some people like variety

#

which is fine, it's sandbox game

deft yew
#

In 1943 and these are my fighters, but they are at a disavantadge compared to German ones (higher air attack, but lower air defense then their attack, and lower agility and speed then them.) Is this normal? Or is my template bad?

quasi girder
#

Remove the extra quad LMG

#

Extra thrust gets converted to speed or agility one of the two

#

Your air attack is way above their air defence so unless they are using heavy fighters removing that quad lmg should give you extra speed and agility

#

Send me a screenshot of the air battle to I want to see where you are fighting and at what efficiency

deft yew
#

When dealing with Japanese planes it's easy though

quasi girder
#

So your efficiency is good although your fighter detection is a tad lower than theirs are you running centralised control in the officer corps?

deft yew
#

yes

quasi girder
#

High chance is Germany will have a custom MIO with the unique traits that will make their planes a bit better than yours

#

What MIO is that one on yours a high agility or?

deft yew
#

they have radar

#

that might be why

quasi girder
#

Yeah radar will up their detection but the discrepency isnt that big

#

Is it roughly similar trades with Germany having an advantage or are you getting slaughtered out the sky?

deft yew
quasi girder
#

Yeah thats not gonna help

#

Germany will have a dedicated high agility fighter group

#

In the policies of that MIO when you can assign the wind tunnel pioneers

quasi girder
#

The last thing is sadly just pure numbers

deft yew
#

Yeah that checks out

quasi girder
#

Your 95 fighters simply cant fight the 3k at once

#

Its just unfortunately in the air when your outnumbered 5 to 1 even in a good plane your not gonna do well

#

Best thing to do with limited numbers is interception see if you can intercept germanys air missions which will also catch some of their fighter escorts

rugged isle
#

for heavy tanks do i use henschel or porsche? or both?

Could someone recommend me a good mountaineer template for attacking?

dusty sandal
#

you'd need to swap the radio for medium flame tank, that's essential

#

and only keep logistics if going for individual excellence, which you shouldn't go for with attack inf in mind to be fair, assault in is far better

errant chasm
dusty sandal
#

but normally you'll always have either support arty or SHH because of doctrines

deft yew

Thank you for your help guys. Which doctrines should I choose though?

dusty sandal
deft yew

I have Grand Assault as Afghanistan. (Only infantry for now)

dusty sandal
# deft yew I have Grand Assault as Afghanistan. (Only infantry for now)

I'd go for assault infantry, SHH doctrine once you get it or, by default, the engineer one ; the only doctrine that gives you 5% breakthrough on all mot/mech/inf (infantry support iirc) and either grand assault or desperate defense

special force doctrine, mountaineer is always a solid pick, then rangers, then marines, then paras

#

for mountaineers it's generally best to pick mountain buff then combat width reduction

Do you actually NEED piercing if the enemy doesnt have mechs yet and therefore probably not above 40-50% hardness?
