only the case for big mods that change map/MIOs/tech

[hoary glen]

In PDX launcher look at the note, it says what game version is needed.

[sudden rover]

i’m tryna get millenium dawn

[hoary glen]

You can change your game version by right clicking in lib and then select betas. Chooses the one you need

Always the case for MD

[glacial steeple]

well yeah just people might get the wrong impression and be scared to use outdated mods

they often work still

i have a mod that was last updated in 1.5.2 that works

[hoary glen]

Rip naval invasion hotkey

[heady skiff]

I HATE Non historical on the great war redux

Russia is just no longer gonna have an issue other than a small industry

So If I dont OBLITERATE Russia fast then I cant just stall until the revolution

Only buff I have is that my Industry is peak for the time

And Cores on Austria

[upbeat arrow]

why does the naval invasion support order choose a random invasion in that sector to support instead of either the first or largest to fire?

[junior light]

when doing the beaten but not defeated civil war path as ussr is the civil war easier if you delete all of your army before the war?

[pliant condor]

the funny thing is that the mission works the best when there's no naval invasion that it needs to support

[vital plinth]

Hey I’m fighting USA and Allie’s it’s 1946 but USA doesn’t use it navry at all now what’s the reason is it a bug or something it’s very wierd

[long harness]

Hi, I am playing as Integralista Brazil, and I am currently attacking Colombia. For some reason, I cannot defeat their land troops in the mountains, my organization always drops fast. Because of this, I decided to launch a naval attack, so I requested access to Venezuelan ports. Somehow, my ships are not receiving fuel, even though I have plenty of convoys and fuel available. Anyone know how can i fix this?

[oak jasper]

1. When pushing into mountains, you generally want some combination of mountaineers and lots of CAS. Mountains really favor the defender, and hamper tanks, which are your generalist offensive unit.

2. My only guess on the fuel issue: do you have the Caribbean Sea zone blocked? Convoys will never go into a blocked sea zone, even if it's their only possible route.

... or maybe it's trying to use trains to deliver the fuel, and you're out of trains?

[glacial steeple]

have you tried taking the long way

instead of the amazon hell

[oak jasper]

So, to hit the "Struggle in Ethiopia" focus, do I just need to do nothing, and presumably by 1937 I can ask for the white peace?

I may be trying to get His Holiness in charge of Italy.

[glacial steeple]

you can just give up day 1 if you want

[oak jasper]

Oh, misread that decision. "One of these conditions", meaning I can also just not be in control of Ethiopia.

Though, technically, impossible on day 1. You need 15 political power.

[long harness]

I have some mountaineer divisions, but even they don’t last long. I havent tried using tanks yet, to be honest.

The sea is dominated by the enemy. But if thats the case, how can I take it back, if no one of my ships are receiving fuel delivered by convoys?

[long harness]

long way?

[austere roost]

Along the coast

Or just naval invade

[oak jasper]

He's trying to naval invade, but his ships aren't getting fuel.

... and again, do you have enough trains? That might also impact your army units, since landbound supply requires trains, and your logistics fulfilment is abysmal

[glacial steeple]

yeah the long way

[long harness]

I cant naval invade because this

I really dont know how to solve this problem

[glacial steeple]

uruguay, argentina, chile, peru, ecuador. colombia

is easier

[long harness]

I think i dont have enough trains

[long harness]

I can try that, but I really want to know how I can fix my naval problem, since its something Ill have to deal with against other countries in the future

[oak jasper]

Hover over the "logistics fulfilment" thing. Top bar, between factory count and convoy count.

[long harness]

☠️

[oak jasper]

You may have 17 trains trying to do the job of 101 trains.

[glacial steeple]

its likely to do with range and the fact colombia has a navy to put up

the port your ships are set to probably has no supply

[long harness]

Okay, now I really think I dont have enough trains.

[glacial steeple]

or is far

port its set to

[oak jasper]

No, he's got docking perms in Venezuela.

My guess is the game's trying to deliver their fuel via train, and, wel...

[glacial steeple]

it isnt set to the venezuelan capital

[oak jasper]

That could also be it.

[long harness]

Set to Caracas now

I set in auto because i think its the best option

[zealous cloak]

Hey all... looking for mod recommendations. I've played the "Total War" mod for years and loved it, but it seems to be kind of dead, no updates for a long time. I want something like that but with updates. Black Ice is a little TOO MUCH for me, feels like they went too far with complexity for its own sake. I've tried Darkest Hour, it's really well made but the 1933 start is a little crazy and it seems VERY hard.

Basically I want to be more historical focus than vanilla, I don't need all the crazy alt-history stuff. I like to see expanded tech trees over vanilla, more aircraft models more tank models, etc, good focus trees for majors and minors, more events, and that sort of thing. Basically more complicated than vanilla HOI4, but not to the BICE level. Any recommendations?

[glacial steeple]

auto is kinda bad

[vital plinth]

Hey I’m fighting USA and Allie’s it’s 1946 but USA doesn’t use it navry at all now what’s the reason is it a bug or something it’s very wierd

Can someone help me with this I tried asking yesterday couldn’t find an answer

No patrol and no strike from USA or Britain after 1945

[glacial steeple]

maybe they got bored idk

[unreal sinew]

yo, im playin widda mods like OWB + FPS mod. Inda lategame i had a lag after war when the countries choose territories. can i fix it? cuz i wanna continue its my first normal try.

i have a ryzen 7 5800, 3060, 16ram, ssd
that just stops after when everybody pick the territories

[glacial steeple]

try lowering speed/pausing during peacedeals

helps a lot

[unreal sinew]

already, nothin help me bro

i wanna die

[glacial steeple]

do you pause instantly?

like click spacebar once

[unreal sinew]

exactly

i can show via demo in discord

they just stuck, i already wait like around 15 minutes, nothing changed.

weird optimization

[glacial steeple]

idk how to help there

[unreal sinew]

how ppls playin widda 500+ mods idk

[swift dagger]

anybody know how air supriority, air support, naval mission efficiency actually works? like ai said that's another thing behind air mission efficiency?

[oak jasper]

When you sell on the international market, is the resulting economic capacity affected by your consumer goods factor?

If not, it would affect when a certain country sells its obsolete junk. Said country is not cursed by starting on civilian economy. It wishes it was.

[feral sonnet]

i sometimes see players doing conversion can someone talk to me about that ?

[oak jasper]

One possibility is that they're using a hull->finished chain, spending a bit more IPC but saving strategic resources.

The trick is to build a baseline vehicle/aircraft without modules like self-sealing fuel tanks, then convert the "hull" to what you actually want.

[feral sonnet]

explain with simple words pls 😔

[languid trout]

u can convert old equipment to newer equipment

with resources

[full lava]

best 1938 tank desgin and template for germany?

[upbeat arrow]

Venezuala dragged these guys into the war, how should i hit them without joining the allies?

[glacial steeple]

mil access?

you can naval invade from neutral countries

[upbeat arrow]

thats what i was thinking, im just not sure if the uk ai will let me, i know for a fact ussr ai wont

[glacial steeple]

also damn thats a lot of losses to venezuela

[oak jasper]

You shouldn't even need to invade Iraq, since it's a minor.

[glacial steeple]

romania tho

[oak jasper]

True. And that'll probably require making friends with Turkey to get through the Bosporus.

[glacial steeple]

invade iraq then turkey fr

its kinda just messed up

sorry misspelled

theres just no easy/conventional way to get to romania if turkiye doesnt give mil access

[oak jasper]

Invade the USSR and drive all the way from Vladivostok.

[upbeat arrow]

lets call that plan B

[feral sonnet]

yeah but i was talking about the tanks like how to do it

[languid trout]

what r u converting

specifically

mediums?

lights?

[glacial steeple]

according to the screenshot he struggled against venezuela

no way that would go well

[oak jasper]

Do you mean the little button in the lower left of your production for that item?

[glacial steeple]

you can only convert modules

not the chassis

[dense glen]

Brotherhood of Middle East
Venezuela

[sour wadi]

should i be making carrier aircraft? if so, can i have a template

[oak jasper]

Do you have, or plan to make, aircraft carriers?

[sour wadi]

already got em

[dense glen]

i trought that they was gonna to solve ts on the new DLC

[sour wadi]

ive just never really used carrier aircraft in carriers, and i assume they buff carriers in nav battles, so

[oak jasper]

CV fighters: similar to regular fighters, except trade range modules for even more survivability.
CV naval bombers: similar to regular naval bombers, except trade long range modules for even more survivability.
CV CAS: is a joke.

[dense glen]

you dont need planes for the carriers?

[oak jasper]

Aircraft carriers are essentially useless without aircraft man. I don't know what you've been doing, but the entire point of aircraft carriers is, well, aircraft.

I mean, I suppose they can fire their secondary battery?

[sour wadi]

i usually just rely on battleships, i play single player so i never really needed em

but im playing britain and have AC already made

so i just thought might aswell learn how to use em

[oak jasper]

The only real difference in how you design them is that range is pointless on CV aircraft, so just invest even more into survivability.

[sour wadi]

oh alr

cheers mate

[austere roost]

You don't need survivability for CVs because as long as you have BBs, CVs are protected, and as long as you have screens, your BBs are protected too

[dense glen]

what cv and bb means

[austere roost]

Carriers and battleships

[dense glen]

ok ty

[austere roost]

That's their abbreviation in naval combat

[oak jasper]

We're talking about CV aircraft, not the carriers themselves.

[austere roost]

Oh thx I didn't see that

[oak jasper]

The carriers, yes, basically just floating airfields crammed with every hangar possible.

Now, if the game were more realistic, armor would be at least plausible, especially when dive bombers come into play.

The British armored carriers were assigned to the Mediterranean in part because any carrier operating there was at risk of being spotted and attacked by land-based dive bombers with little notice, whereas US carriers usually had the vast open waste of the Pacific to hide in.

[potent idol]

WHAT IS THIS????

how i get this?

[sour wadi]

how much should i save up to ensure the imperial federation gets passed?

[potent idol]

what do you mean?

[sour wadi]

the imperial conference requires a bunch of political power

to ensure that the dominions agree to become one

how much should i save up before doing the conference

[potent idol]

to ensure the dominions i remember you need around 625 political power

for propaganda martial law and coup d etat

[sour wadi]

is that before or after the focus gives you an extra 120?

[potent idol]

this is the total

of political power you need if we suposse that the focus doesnt give you 120 poltiical power

[sour wadi]

okay

[potent idol]

but you can save 505 political power and wait for the focus

anyway is the same

[sour wadi]

bet

cheers mate

[potent idol]

and now

what this focus mean about that do you need "50 000 infantery euipment "

if i have more than that in the stockpile

[sour wadi]

you need it in the army

[calm flax]

You need to have 50000 units of infantry equipment in the field

[sour wadi]

like, in troopps

[potent idol]

how i can know how many equipment i speant in that

[calm flax]

Great question. I don’t actually know

[potent idol]

i am in 1938 and i dont maje anythiing

[calm flax]

Typically I just wait it out

For me it usually automatically works itself out with the manpower in the field

Would anybody like to tell me how I managed to obliterate Europe as Belgium but failed to take Ethiopia as Italy 🤣🤣

[potent idol]

for real

i was about to conquest the world has imperial federation fascist but every major nation int eh world declared the war to me

first the germans, later the frecnhs, soviets, and finally brazil and japanj

the only allie was china

[calm flax]

lmao

[potent idol]

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/869647945845317692/882652353101193236/Sin_titulo.gif

[calm flax]

I was facist belgium and i united the benelux then took france super easily because i kind of declared war on them while they were being invaded by the uk lol

then i took out monarchy germany super fast

all i rly have left in that run is the uk, spain, i think italy, russia, the us, and world conquest

also turns out exercising your troops is an overpowered method

[sour wadi]

wait have i gotta integrate all my puppets now?

uaghh

[potent idol]

what?

[sour wadi]

they have to be integrated puppets

[potent idol]

it supossed that the focus called "imperial federation" you can anex all colonies

[sour wadi]

yeah but they have to be integrated puppets

[potent idol]

ah

i dont know bro

i started to get the imperial federation with another alternative way

[spring bay]

did you do the decision to talk about the federation after taking the focus?

[potent idol]

where you can get the imperial federation like around 1939

or 1940

[sour wadi]

teag

ofc

everyone accepted

[potent idol]

i maked the imperial federation with the traditional way a long time ago

[spring bay]

hmm thats weird, were you at war for a while and they increased their autonomy?

[sour wadi]

nope

they were dominions

[potent idol]

but i started to use another way, that consist of start the civil war with the fascist, declare war to every colonie and win the civil war

after that you can anexx all colonies

and you can make the federation around 1939 or 1940

[sour wadi]

oh yeah

sadly im playing historical </3

[lament quail]

im going to try and hold out against italy as communist greece in tno, any useful tips

[rustic canyon]

is it possible for facist hungary to have a facist govt

i took the decision to renouce the treaty but its still non aligned

[vital geode]

Did you go Horthy?

And do you have Gotterdammerung

[rustic canyon]

no facist king

[rustic canyon]

yes

[vital geode]

Fascist king? Didn't realize people play that path

Huh, im not sure then

[oak jasper]

So, how does one control what equipment can be converted to what? For me, the primary thing would be "how do I ensure that only older CAS gets converted to the new CAS, only older fighters to newer fighters, etc?"

[spring bay]

iirc you have to re-commission the old stuff? i could be wrong tho

you can also just make an air wing with the stuff you dont wanna convert and set it to only reinforce planes of that type thats in the wing

so that way its used up and out of the way

[wild rune]

What do support ships do

[bleak night]

Their defence is really high, and my normal armys combat width is way too high, Do you guys have any recommendations on how I can kill them?

[muted wagon]

Is there any point of war with ussr if I could just justify?

[fading ibex]

Dont put 200 divisions in one tile

[tropic steppe]

anyone willing to teach a 500 hour idiot

[royal juniper]

should I get arms against tyranny?

[bleak night]

Yeah I fixed that, I was just worried about them breaking out

still not sure how to kill them

I'd like them gone so I don't have to occupy that area

[neat widget]

You're attritioning

also some of your divisions are low strength

so remove some divisions, get good air above southern france, and then once your units have supply attack bordeaux from all sides

that you can (they could be attacking one or more of your tiles)

[bleak night]

I built a port, so they're good now and have green air

oh that worked

thanks

If I replace a member of my inner circle, will the focuses of the replacee still be in effect?

[serene karma]

Wait how did u see such a long ago message

[neat widget]

discord sometimes leaves your screen on old messages

[granite patio]

Did they change the Form the Jagdwaffe Focus? It didn’t give me engine 3 when i finished the third fighter.

I didn’t see anything about it in 1.17.4 patch notes unless I’m blind

[languid trout]

2k pp and max xp???????

use them all

also censor that flag

btw never put that much divisions on 1 tile

[raw nacelle]

hey guys sorry im kinda new but i assign my troops to an army leader, press on him to select those troops then send them to a frontline but when i select him again and try to move them to another frontline they dont move can anyone tell me why

[covert hare]

Should i use the tank designers MIOs as soviets or should i put everything on the machine plant MIO,
It seems better to me to put them all on the machine plant mio because then it levels up quickly

[lyric ermine]

can somebody help me with my microing?

[final hearth]

wym

[final hearth]

its still assigned to that front

delete the order the put another if you want a clean fronty line

[stuck garnet]

is this good for support companies

[dusty sandal]

hard atk is useless in singleplayer, as is the piercing module
you basically want as much breakthrough as you can get

[dusty sandal]

that's no good support

[final hearth]

i prefer this

[stuck garnet]

is this better?

[dusty sandal]

this isone of the best, just use flamethrower 2 once you get it as armament and you can change the suspension for the one that gives brk if you need to. Same for the extra ammo which can be replaced with stabilizer (1940 research tech)
adjust speed to needs

[stuck garnet]

"sloped armor" on a lt?

is the hmg on the lt worth it?

[dusty sandal]

especially on a support company which gives reduced armor to a div

[stuck garnet]

more than 25% extra soft attack

you need to enable the mod in the playset

[marsh trench]

Pls help

[dusty sandal]

see the red bubbles ?

[marsh trench]

I see them 😢

[dusty sandal]

then make them stop

done ?

[marsh trench]

I halted my offensives for a bit

[dusty sandal]

now you're gonna have to take a look at your UI and see what's wrong

[marsh trench]

I dont flippen get it man, how they so strong with 0 supply

[dusty sandal]

what's red, what's empty

[dusty sandal]

they have supply by the looks of it

I don't see any icon indicating otherwise

[marsh trench]

40% of them dont across the front line, mainly north

[dusty sandal]

doesn'tlook like it, but you're having supply issues and other issues, see #ask-for-help-here message

[marsh trench]

Nah, I dont have supply issues, all my troops have great supply, I got a lot of their supply hubs, like Kiev and stuff

[dusty sandal]

the UI tells me you're lying

UI doesn't lie

you also have no fuel, no manpower and are lacking trains/trucks or convoys

[marsh trench]

Idk, I dont see icons

[dusty sandal]

as stated here

[dusty sandal]

I'm gonna say it one last time
STOP
THE
ATTACKS

[marsh trench]

I got enough trucks and trains, that 99% just shows the attrition

[dusty sandal]

if it didn't work for months, it's not gonna work now

[marsh trench]

My bad

[dusty sandal]

yeah, I was working off the other screenshot, you indeed don't have supply issues anymore

[marsh trench]

Yeah, those were just attrition

[dusty sandal]

Now what you need to do is wait
You're gonna increase you conscription law by 1 level and you're gonna wait
you're gonna sit tight, wait for manpower to fill your divs then fill your reserve, you're gonna retool your production so that the deficits are getting filled up and while doing that, you're gonna prevent romania from dying to save the oil

[marsh trench]

I just noticed the oil bro, im so flippen stupid

[cursive fiber]

i need some help with china pls

[marsh trench]

Alr, my conscription is max, Ill work on the rest

Also btw, I do have good air

[dusty sandal]

take a screenshot of the UI that appears when you hover over it

[marsh trench]

Witch one?

[marsh trench]

Dw, those red bubbles isnt me, thats romania and allies

[dusty sandal]

no fuel = air is worthless

[marsh trench]

I just traded a but ton oil with venezuela I dont know why it isnt going up

[dusty sandal]

taking time to fill up divs and ships tanks first

[dusty sandal]

because for some reason your whole fleet is on mission as well

[marsh trench]

Im just avoiding naval invasions

[dusty sandal]

see this ? if it's not the same as the addition of the two bottom numbers, there's no need to increase

[grand gust]

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

[marsh trench]

FUUEEEL

[grand gust]

i need it

[marsh trench]

Should I lower the conscription

[dusty sandal]

it takes time to mobilize, if you were to go down 1 conscription laws you'd still be moblizing

also, click the "women in the workforce decision"

[pallid locust]

should i get gotterdammerung next?

[marsh trench]

Alr, but should I lower conscription or no need anymore?

[dusty sandal]

you can lower it to 20%

[marsh trench]

Alr

[marsh trench]

So know I wait a bit, and produce stuff that is more needed?

[dusty sandal]

good, now you wait

[marsh trench]

Well damn

No wonder Im losing

Should I stop producing air?

[dusty sandal]

no, keep like 10 factories on fighters, all those on CAS
show me your div tempaltes

tanks and inf

[marsh trench]

Btw, that 22 divisions at the bottom, with a general, that is a mix of marines and mountaineers

Also fyi, all my garrisons are on local police force

This my production

[dusty sandal]

ditch the line arty and engineer on inf, add in support arty
the tanks ditch the useless maintenance company, replace the trucks by cav until you can afford mech (which it seems you can). That div should be 36w but since lack of stockpile it'll make do
also your stats are very low on tanks, can you show me design too ?

[swift burrow]

what's the best div template I can use as Lebanon

[dusty sandal]

delete train production (1mil on civilian trains max)
1 mil on flame tanks
no mils on planes other than CAS and fighters
guns is priority, then support eq, then air then trucks/mech/tanks

[marsh trench]

Got it, im fixing it up

[dusty sandal]

turn it into this, adjust speed to your liking (you can upgrade radio if needed)
just so you know, SPGs are way better than tanks now because of doctrines and atk buffs

[marsh trench]

Ok I fixed my division designs

[marsh trench]

Only 1 mil on flame tanks? U sure?

[dusty sandal]

a few advice for tank design :
1 - ALWAYS riveted armor, anything else is a waste
2 - use the maximum number of secondary turret
3 - in singleplayer, only soft atk matter, aim for 30-50 brk on tanks, anything more is likely to be wasted

[dusty sandal]

you have 3k in stockpile

it takes like 30 per div, tops

[swift burrow]

how can I make a nation like Syria or Lebanon work

[dusty sandal]

you baiscally can't

except with OP mods or maybe rt56

[swift burrow]

idk if it's just rt56 rp but thr French colonies just annex Lebanon

[marsh trench]

Alr

[swift burrow]

and Syria

[marsh trench]

Ok

[dusty sandal]

no manpower, no focus, no industry, no resource, no way to expand easily and puppeted

[swift burrow]

I mean like once France falls if you're communist you can declare independence and justify on Syria

and like Iraq

but you're locked into the alliee

[marsh trench]

Should I unpause and wait?

[dusty sandal]

once everything's done, yes

[marsh trench]

Alr, let me just show you what ive done

Production

[dusty sandal]

gonna have to go in a minute, but I'm confident you'll make this work. You managed to kill the allies afterall
also reorganise your lines. Use field marshal frontlines (Maintain SHIFT while assigning to create a fluid frontline, way better)

[dusty sandal]

you can safely go down on fighters
10-15fac should be enough since there's no sov airforce anymore and you have stockpile

[marsh trench]

Construction

[dusty sandal]

you can half if not remove 2/3 of mils on arty as well

[marsh trench]

And CAS?

[dusty sandal]

tbh it doesn't matter much rn, I'd just build more mils, railways or refineries if you're worried about rubber
CAS is good, you can go up iff needed

CAS should look something like this

[marsh trench]

This the one I was using

But I will fix it up

Fixed

Alr, anything youd like me to do?

[dusty sandal]

single engine

ALWAYS single on light frame

[marsh trench]

Oh my bad

[dusty sandal]

for reference about air designs : #hoi4-general message (general design advice)

[marsh trench]

Oh

[marsh trench]

Alr thanks

Ok im going to unpause and wait a bit, Ill update you

[dusty sandal]

gotta go now, will be back in an hour or two. Ping me if you need anything, I'll check up later

[marsh trench]

Ah dang, before you go, when should I start attacking again?

[marsh trench]

Thank you so much bro, your a flippen legend

[uncut narwhal]

use the junkers mio

[rustic canyon]

as hungary should i rush the extra research slot or the politicsl tree first

[abstract ferry]

how do i invade britain ts pmo icl

[dusty sandal]

air support, good marines (if naval supremacy) or good paras or both (better)

[abstract ferry]

ill try

[polar sandal]

Is it better to naval invade or para troop?

[errant chasm]

I perfer naval invading as you could naval invade woth any troops. Where as para troops you must have an airdroppable division

[polar sandal]

ohhh alrrr

[errant chasm]

But this is just my opinion. Others may have other views.

[polar sandal]

i do like naval invading i never did para

[lyric ermine]

man i suck at this game I can not push

[winter marsh]

Just acept divisions from slovakia and easy win

[lyric ermine]

I hate this game gonna play war thunder and hate myself too

[pliant condor]

kill the encirclement?

[pliant condor]

don't use a fixed turret on your spg design

use 3 man turret

also make sure your tank division actually have tank in them

[lyric ermine]

I got encircled in my on encirclement

[lyric ermine]

they are fully supplied

[lyric ermine]

I know that

[violet maple]

hey guys

[lyric ermine]

the only problem is the supply and amount of division soviet has

[violet maple]

historically how long did the winter war last?

[lyric ermine]

every tile there are 6 of them

[rich wolf]

I did everything that was written in the edit, but nothing helps me.

[pliant condor]

well the template says otherwise

[pliant condor]

don't push like this

follow the supply hubs

don't push outside of your supply range

[lyric ermine]

yeah the only problem is supply and amount of soviets on the front

and I should make supply before attacking too

and infstru too

[pliant condor]

also you have red air against soviet

[pliant condor]

no

it's simply

don't push with making encirclcement in mind

push with taking supply hub in mind

if you take their supply hub you would have supply and they won't

[lyric ermine]

and about my micro unit how should i use them? when i bring them to the front line the soviet put a lots of divisions infront of it

[light knoll]

~~ just do inf build and battleplan them it'd get the same results way easier and faster ~~

[pliant condor]

if you have stat you just push through

i mean you might as well battleplan them if you are much stronger(which you could be)

[violet maple]

how do i get a lot of manpower as a minor nation

?

[pliant condor]

?

[lyric ermine]

wrong stats

wait

[violet maple]

i have 10.7m pop but i barely have 500k men in the field

[lyric ermine]

this is not the division i had

[pliant condor]

ok a tip is that

look into your occupation screen

put everything on harsh quota

you are missing like 200 factory

and before you take anything, make a collaboration government on them so you have compliance

[lyric ermine]

nuh the resistence is low

[pliant condor]

because you put it on the trash occupation law

and get nothing out of it

is most likely what's happening

[lyric ermine]

militry law

[pliant condor]

yes

that's what I meant

you get nothing

if you make 2 collabs on everything you get basically all their industry

[lyric ermine]

then i put it lower when i get compilnce

[pliant condor]

or at the very least harsh quota it

it's 25% industry for free

[lyric ermine]

for example i have 1% res in poland so it is on no garisson

and it works good

but i have 23% res in france

[pliant condor]

?

what

no that's not howit works

resistance is mostly irrelevant first of all

what matters is how much industry you get out of occupation

also putting poland on no garrison wiil not give you 1% resistance

just do it next game

make collabs

put everything on local police force if you have compliance, and harsh quota if not

[glacial steeple]

this is not how it works

you have resistance and compliance

higher compliance means lower resistance, less garrisons needed

you also get more stuff from compliance

[lyric ermine]

before that it was on militry law and i got high level of compi before going down slowly on laws and i got comliance

[fathom thistle]

+20 org or + 100hp for pure infantry

[tardy mesa]

im using the road to 56 mod and i have an issue where my troops just keep leaving the frontlines for no reason i wasnt even looking at any of these divisions and i didnt select them they also leave open spots in frontlines while some regions have 2 or 3 divisions and i cant manually place them there so i have to put them in a sepperate army with no orders to keep them from moving

[cold bloom]

Unrelated to Road to 56 it looks like

You can disable auto-redeployment perhaps

Its a recently introduced setting

[glacial steeple]

hp

[pliant condor]

use your agency

create collaboration government

use it on every nation you will conquer

[stoic prairie]

anyone could help in voice ?

[vale cypress]

i need a cannon fodder template to defend. Any suggestions?

[inner sparrow]

16w pure inf

[glacial steeple]

[glacial steeple]

opinions on this for sp

[inner sparrow]

gun1?

or why is its soft so low

[glacial steeple]

prob like no tech

i forgor

[inner sparrow]

yeah

idk I think logi is in most cases needed

would rather take logi over ranger

[glacial steeple]

isnt it more expensive

[inner sparrow]

yeah

[glacial steeple]

but yeah hp is nice

[inner sparrow]

u can also just turn of support eq

still works

but thats exploity

[rugged isle]

any mods for like a bit of a cold war era that includes alot of nuclear bomb use

[pliant condor]

only empty logi is good logi

supply is fake

[inner sparrow]

truke

[obsidian badger]

why waste support arty on holders they not gonna attack

[inner sparrow]

because its good for defence

[upbeat arrow]

how do i get 21 for mil access?

[glacial steeple]

you cannot

[upbeat arrow]

aww nuts

[modern kestrel]

Yo im going insane right how do I make tank destroyers

Where’s the option to do it

I suddenly have the option to produce medium SP artillery

Like how did I get it

oh nvm

i know how now

[real spear]

yo guys

how do i get manpower i have negative 850m from my garrisons

[tepid pebble]

increase manpower law, change garrison template, change garrison level

[cold bloom]

if you own any colonial possessions with little compliance and few factories you can release them as puppets

[chilly oar]

how do I fix this bug where i'm too zoomed in

i'm confused and stuck

[dark thistle]

If i declare war on a country and another country garunties it do all the allys of the country also join the war?

[glacial steeple]

yes

[dark thistle]

ok ty

[pliant condor]

quite ironically attack is much more important than defense when you are defending

[obsidian badger]

i guess im too used to minors with 0 ic

My armies are usually 70% absolute dogshit and 30% all in

70-30 to 90-10

[light knoll]

even as minors you should be using support arty
its really cheap for what it gives

[obsidian badger]

I actually use support aa more cause i never do air until late game

[light knoll]

yea you're supposed to do both

its not either

[granite patio]

Did they change the form the jagdwaffe focus.

It’s not giving engine 3 anymore?

I didn’t see it in the patch notes

[glacial steeple]

yes

[granite patio]

So it doesn’t give the engine three im guessing

Damn

[ripe badge]

Do electrical grids only affect the infrastructure and factories they’re built in?

[vital plinth]

Hey if I I connect a supply hub with multiple naval bases will that supply hub get bigger supply ?

Let’s say one naval bases thay gives 23 supply and another naval bae that gives 8 will that add together if they connect to a land supply hub ?

[pliant condor]

it's the maximum amongst the minimum edge on all the paths from your capital to the hub

so no

[vital plinth]

Sorry I didn’t understand this

[dusty sandal]

they mean that it only takes into account a single path from capital to the hub
meaning multiple ports don't increase max supply coming in, you need higher level of ports

if you have 5 ports providing 10 supplies each, your hubs will only have 10supply max
if you have a single lvl 5 port, hubs will have 50 supply max capacity

this is schematical and entirely as an illustration

[stuck garnet]

Is there a division specifically just to deal with cas

Like a meme division

I hate cas

"Just add aa support companies" no

[untold monolith]

just fill the template with aa instead of inf

[light knoll]

full aa division as long as it never gets involved in actual combat but always in the reserves

[stuck garnet]

That work?

[light knoll]

reserves as in, its on the tile where the battle is happening

[stuck garnet]

Spaa just to rub it in?

[light knoll]

but doesn't reinforce

that would shoot down a lot of cas

[light knoll]

no

if that division gets involved in combat you'd lose a whole lot of aa which is expensive so. its risky

[light knoll]

this really is the only good way so

[scenic salmon]

is there a way, when playing democratic Belgium forming the EU, that if a country doesnt accept being puppeted, you can democratically get them again? or are you locked out of getting them?

seems like my runs are inconsistent on who joins my faction, who wants to be integrated

having like 100 relation doesnt seem to guarantee anything

[spare dune]

how do i get my game version converted to 88f7, since my friend cant play with me since im on 8ccc

[shell heart]

Can someone teach me the basics of Germany?

[serene karma]

Use fighters

[spring robin]

yo, im playing with germany w mods and i demolished uk navy (they have 250 dominance), how do i set my navy to take naval supremacy ? "strike force" doesn't do anything ?

[glacial steeple]

patrol

[spring robin]

is there a way to bomb their troops or make them move away cuz im getting pushed away

[glacial steeple]

CAS? sometimes you just lose tho

if youre not dominant enough

[oblique needle]

what do the (cafb) (5) mean in the checksum here?
is that determined by DLC or mods?

[glacial steeple]

mods

but its kind of all

[oblique needle]

does mod order matter for multiplayer

me and my friend are using the same mods but we have different checksums for some reason

[wicked plaza]

just did a run as germany, it took me 3 years to inflitrate the uk like their naval game was peak, put it just collapse and genuenly dk what the AI did, so my question is how do i get a better naval game like britian

[glacial steeple]

mod version matters

[raw nacelle]

How do i delete an order

[vital plinth]

Damm guess eveyone wants a piece of USA

[sterile mica]

Is this a good division?

light tanks

It somehow has negative breakthrough but a lot of damage

[vital geode]

How do you have negative breakthrough?

[sterile mica]

The tank itself does

[lament quail]

should i bother trying to build an airforce

[glacial steeple]

cuz he put a fixed turret

for no reason probably as well

[glacial steeple]

also no

[vital geode]

The larp

[glacial steeple]

its really small and awful

[sterile mica]

Why

Its fast and cheap

[vital geode]

And no power behind it

[sterile mica]

Good for soft attack defense no?

[vital geode]

Also you said it has no breakthrough, so high losses

[sterile mica]

Yeah but i dont necessarily need to push

[vital geode]

So the strength on that division will disappear quickly

Breakthrough is defense when attacking

[sterile mica]

I know

[vital geode]

When the enemy shoots back, you have no defense and will be critted

And you get your division shredded

[sterile mica]

So breakthrough is also defense while defending?

It wasn't intended as my main spearhead or anything

[vital geode]

Defense is defense

[sterile mica]

Then why are you explaining this

[vital geode]

Defense I think also helps with breakthrough, but im not sure to what degree anymore

[sterile mica]

Hmm ok so I guess not put a fixed turret

[vital geode]

Breakthrough is defense while attacking. Defense is defense when defending

[sterile mica]

Yes and you explained breakthrough for a division I said I intend to defend with

It has a bunch of soft attack and is faster than infantry

The hope is that I can make a bunch of those and have good stats

[glacial steeple]

no

[sterile mica]

I know

[vital geode]

Define good stats by showing a screenshot of said stats

[glacial steeple]

its just really small it will die quickly and do virtually no damage

[sterile mica]

Ahh I'm not at my pc anymore

[sterile mica]

Well how do I get better stats for cheap then?
Bc tanks have good stats

And that division is really cheap

[vital geode]

Either case, large divisions good for attacking. Not the 12 width you have

[sterile mica]

I dont intend to attack with it

[glacial steeple]

for defense? like do you wanna bounce attacks?

[sterile mica]

Yeah like AI inf

[glacial steeple]

theres 2 ways to defend

[sterile mica]

I'm testing things

[vital geode]

9/0 inf

All you need

[glacial steeple]

1: small units with a lot of org, cycling, losing but slower

[sterile mica]

So that's a small unit no?

Where's the problem?

[glacial steeple]

2: large offensive type units to reduce casualties and try to bounce attacks by dealing large amounts of damage

you try to mix them, which doesnt really work

[vital geode]

18 widths defend well

[glacial steeple]

your units uses trucks and tanks which will take heavy losses and be expensive on the defense

while not being able to have the desired effect of heavy damage at low losses

[sterile mica]

You know, fair

[glacial steeple]

always when you use smaller/lower hp units you will also take more losses

[vital geode]

To be fair, I defeated Russia as Poland with a division with like 8 cav and 2 medium tanks battalions

[sterile mica]

Rip hardness

[vital geode]

I got all the firepower I needed with those tanks lol

[sterile mica]

I tend to put superchargers on my later tanks

[vital geode]

What are superchargers

[sterile mica]

So they can keep up with endgame mechanizef

[vital geode]

What tech is that

The jet turbine engines

[sterile mica]

After engine 2 I think?
Or is that RT56 specific?

[vital geode]

Yep

R56 moment

[sterile mica]

Yeah oop

They make tank faster

And with the army-xp'd mechanized, you can make fully capable 15km/h 40widths

[vital geode]

And I made 21 km/h armored cars

Zoom zoom

Overrun the entire enemy frontline

[sterile mica]

Jesus

Yeah if you can get the stats high enough I can imagine

[vital geode]

I couldn't put flame tanks or helicopters because they were too slow

[sterile mica]

Are helis meta?

I always skip out on them

[vital geode]

Helicopters slowed down the division

That is why i didn't use them

My armored cars are faster than helicopters lmao

Helicopters are nice

Not needed, but nice

[sterile mica]

What do you use them for

[glacial steeple]

thats not too small

[vital geode]

Support companies

[sterile mica]

Yeah but what? Like which of them make sense

[carmine dagger]

i need help fighting germany. For context i playr austria and i need to get germany for a acheivment and i go down the path with king otto so i can get another acheivment. But everytime germany attacks and i try defending but end up dying. Is there a way to beat germany but remain a monarchy?

[vital geode]

Ive used them as the regular brigade, also as the field hospitals

[sterile mica]

Are you forced to go historical?

Well germany that is

[carmine dagger]

no but even in non historical it happens most of the time

[vital geode]

Attack Hungary and secure them

Same with the Czechs

Ensure your army is large enough to prevent anschluss

[sterile mica]

I recommend that too - yeah. Expand fast early and build a ton of mills.
Make mountaineers and try to get armor into your divisions to protect against losses

[carmine dagger]

i do all that just when it is time for war i get crushed

[vital geode]

No need for armor

[vital geode]

Do you make AA?

And when does the war take place

[sterile mica]

If you can, get involved into any war before germany comes knocking and get yourself resource rights and war reparations

[carmine dagger]

idk what AA is and it takes place 1939-1941

[sterile mica]

With the Austrian level of manpower? For sure some armor would be good

[vital geode]

You dont know what anti air is

[carmine dagger]

oh ya i make that

[vital geode]

Ive played historical Austria and used the insane militia bonuses

[carmine dagger]

im not fascist though

[vital geode]

Well, what is your template

9/0 with support companies?

[sterile mica]

You want to reach 100+ Air-attack in your divisions as that's when the AI starts avoiding your airzone as you inflict too much damage

[vital geode]

He is austria

How is he supposed to do that and afford it

[vital geode]

Ah

I see

[carmine dagger]

this is from a video i found

[vital geode]

You only fit like 2 divisions in a defensive battle in the mountains

And get pushed back

We love reinforce memes

[carmine dagger]

well

im still a noob

[sterile mica]

And build a lot of mills. As many as you can without grinding your country to a complete halt.
You can also civgreed and start converting ~1.5 - 2 years before the war starts. Bzild forts and static anti air and try to hold out until germany starts stumbling

[vital geode]

9/0 inf are your holding divisions

If you cant afford it, maybe an 8/0

[carmine dagger]

do you have a design in mid?

mind*

[sterile mica]

8/0 is the design

[vital geode]

8/0 or 9/0

No line arty

[sterile mica]

8 infantry, no artillery

[carmine dagger]

what ab support

[vital geode]

Just put some support companies like support arty and aa

[sterile mica]

Flamethrower tanks

They give a flat +20% defense buff I believe?

[carmine dagger]

which is that?

is it the special project

[sterile mica]

Yes yes

Just make 1 Land-warfare facility at the beginning and youre set

[vital geode]

Problem

Austria gets penalties to like everything

[sterile mica]

Also 1 railway gun or heavy railway gun if you can as that's another insane buff for free

[sterile mica]

Yeah and italy

[vital geode]

Well, he is austria

[carmine dagger]

im austria we are poor

[vital geode]

And he is kneecapped industry wise

Like i think it takes like double time to build a research facility

And he has like 4 civs to use

[sterile mica]

Also kneecapped manpower wise lol

Again, try invading as much and as aggressively as possible

It's rhe best way to secure any proper amount of industry really

[vital geode]

Puppet the Czechs and Hungarians and use their manpower

[carmine dagger]

why not just ask them to submit

[sterile mica]

Because then you cant demand war reperations

[vital geode]

Submitting makes them a puppet

Same thing

You dont need to demand war reps

[carmine dagger]

no i mean bring hungary back into the fold

like annex

[vital geode]

You just need someone to not stab you in the back

[carmine dagger]

then core bohemia

[sterile mica]

I thought we were talking to optimize industry??

[vital geode]

Avoiding war is also beneficial

[sterile mica]

And if germany comes for the czechs' sudetenland warly anways, get as much IC out as you can

[carmine dagger]

to optimize idustry will take until 1940

ic?

[vital plinth]

Hi how do I draw battle line across multiple counties a lot of pocket regions along a long line it’s hard to micro manage each army and adding 4-5 units in a small area is there a way for me to use the field commander to draw multiple counties border at same time I can only do one country border at a time ?

[sterile mica]

Then why would you opt for the worse option? War reperations is always better

[vital geode]

Because time

And Hungary is annoying to invade because they have only 1 supply hub

At their capital

And it is a dead zone around it

[sterile mica]

It is a huge problem.
I recommend you set up a fallback line over the tiles adjacent to the countries youre intending to attack. 2 hours after you've been at war, make a unified frontline (shift + frontline) and your troops will stay where they are and have a full frontline

[vital geode]

Garrison order, tell it to guard borders

When war starts, make the frontline

Problem solved

A stupid problem solved

I wish PDX allowed you to draw frontlines however you wanted it

[carmine dagger]

so should i use a 8/0 with support art and support anti air?

[sterile mica]

For pockets and the like you can really just micro. Get used to using shortcuts to make many and quick little frontlines for the pockets that appear

[sterile mica]

I don't think that'll be enough but Jonathan seems to agree

[carmine dagger]

well ill try it out and tell yall how it goes

[sterile mica]

Because time?
That also is a reason to quickly invade.
Yes hungary isn't easy but with proper divisions or trickery, you can pretty easily beat them down

Same with CS

[vital geode]

You need manpower elsewhere

Just get them peacefully

[sterile mica]

You really dont before the war

Ey if it works for them. Sure

[vital plinth]

Ok thx im Baltic union basically half of socviet the north part all of Scandinavian and baltics vs rest of the world of axis and usa as puppet. I released Britain as free but they dont make a new faction or ally faction and i cant create one myself so kinda messed atm unfortunately lol

[balmy dawn]

I was just watching Bitt3rsteel's latest Germany walkthrough.

For his CAS, he used Bomb Locks. But Small Bombs are lighter and sheaper and do the same damage. Why would he do that? (Im aassuming I'm missing something)

Same with Fighters. He used Cannons instead of Machine Guns.

[glacial steeple]

idk what he did but he isnt some amazing player

hes alright

i mean cannons are fine on fighter 1

[balmy dawn]

He conquered the entire world by 1942, lol. I'd say that's pretty amazing

[wanton frost]

How do I get Japan to capitulate as Fengtian Clique? I have them down to Korea but does an event fire once I kick them off it or

[red sundial]

can anyone help me kill japan theyre the final major in my game

[hearty wolf]

its singleplayer

its not that hard

[hearty wolf]

once japan isnt in control of any chinese cores or korea (or is it js the mainland in general? i forgot) theres an event

w that event u can either white peace and kick them out of china and korea or keep fighting for a vanilla peace

so yeah an event fires

try paratroopers theyre a lil bummy but i doubt ur beating japans navy as manchuria

[wanton frost]

Alright thanks I really appreciate it I've got them down to Korea and they dont have any mainland territory just hoping the peace fires this war was exhausting 😭

[carmine dagger]

is this a good template @vital geode for the fight against germany

[hearty wolf]

are you a poor country or something why not just do 18w

and throw out the recon

[carmine dagger]

im austria

very poor

Extremly poor

[vital geode]

Probably. Get a lot of them

[languid trout]

how tf do i fix this

collapsing world is up to date with the latest ver of hoi4 too

[carmine dagger]

i died before i could

[languid trout]

solved it

[keen hemlock]

Does anyone know what exactly is needed for the romanovs last laugh? Like do you need the capitals, the entire country, and do you need to own them, or just control them

[languid trout]

u need to fully own the capital states

not just occupied

[scenic salmon]

is there a way to increase the number of vehicles allowed?

or is 30 the cap

[marsh trench]

Click on the supply hub

When you click on it

At the top you will see 3 icons show up after clicking on it, you will see a railway icon at the very top, shift-click on that, it will upgrade everything, you will see it in your construction.

[neat widget]

not beyond that unfortunately

[wanton frost]

When trying to unify China is there a way to make subjugate warlords work all the time or most of the time?

[scenic salmon]

bummer, cant seem to maintain good supply in region

currently in asia/cina

[smoky sparrow]

Usually land acquisition rng manips use 1) improve relations 2) send a diplomat 3) boost party support 4) do focuses that improve the other nation or 5) bribe them

That or nationalist china has cores on all of china you could just on the minors one by one using retake cores justifications.

But yeah all or nothing nations like nationalist china or mengkukuo or the democratic socialist route for communist china kinda suck. Like the Guangxi Clique will lowkey be like we got mountains nanana boo boo

[wanton frost]

Oh damn I guess I just got unlucky I tried demanding after taking over Nat China by joining the Govt but every other warlords refused but I'll give Fengtian another go tomorrow to see if I can unite China successfully, this one got derailed by Sinkiang joining the Comintern 😞

[smoky sparrow]

So yeah that's a hidden factor = like them saying no when you go to subjugate the warlords -> because they think you'll lose

[lyric ermine]

hi I need help with attacking soviets can somebody ping me and we go in a voice chat and i stream my game and say what is my problem that I can not attack soviets?

[neat widget]

sounds about right

one thing you can do is construct rails heading towards beijing so that when you do take the city you have supply

[violet maple]

isthis goodd for forests

[inner sparrow]

just take out the line arty and at and fill it with rangers

[neat widget]

also probably upgrade support companies

like reconnaisance is also a pretty useless stat, we include it in divisions to give them breakthrough or attack bonuses

[solemn flare]

How's this template for a country like Denmark on historical?

[indigo sapphire]

should i declare war on both Baltic nations as Estonia first and then finland and sweden?

[violet maple]

why?

[pine cargo]

anybody know how to read the estimated production cost?

the real value under optimal condition (max efficiency and resources)

[dusty sandal]

what mods ?

[dusty sandal]

extremely bad, by the simple fact it has no AA in it
keep it down to 16 or 18w, support arty, AA and engineers
once you have enough to hold the line and garrison your ports (gonna need that) you'll need to invest into special forces, air or tanks

[solemn flare]

Ok, thanks

Is it necessary to use the 18w divisions to hold ports, or can i just smack some 10w divisions on those?

[sly spoke]

Is this good?

[dusty sandal]

no

[dusty sandal]

you can put 12w but never go below that

[inner sparrow]

because line arty sucks and line at is not needed for sp

[dusty sandal]

tank designer or no tank designer ?

[dusty sandal]

AT might be needed if this is rt56 template

[inner sparrow]

then he should just change the spaa to line at and still fill the rest with rangers

[sly spoke]

No tank designer

[dusty sandal]

then this is your best bet, you may use modern SPG and moder tank if you prefer

[sly spoke]

Oh okayyy

[dusty sandal]

SPGs (the leftmost regiments) are researched by selecting the explosion icon on the tanks card in the research tab

[sly spoke]

Thanks

[violet maple]

wouldntr my soft attack be super badd tho

[violet maple]

europe in flame agora

[dusty sandal]

well then you should ask about the template there instead imo, because it seems different from vanilla and AI is probably changed as well

[violet maple]

the AI uses tanks

thats why i put anti-tank

itts too late to change it anyway

i already won

[dusty sandal]

that's not why you're supposed to use anti tank

AI use crappy tanks with no hardness and armor so low AA pierces it

meaning AT is useless in vanilla

if templates in the mod are different it probably changes that

[violet maple]

their tanks weren,t that crappy

it was pretty harddd to push through em

[dusty sandal]

if it's vanilla tanks, they're basically expensive mech

if it's a different template and design it's not vanilla and thus we can hardly help you

[violet maple]

is it a diff template?

[dusty sandal]

very

this requires AT because high hardness

[violet maple]

ok good

[dusty sandal]

oh wait, didn't see those were two divs

the ss panzer is a premade tempalte, show me a tnak that isn't these spawnables

[violet maple]

they have like 3 idff tank templates

[dusty sandal]

ok, that requires support AT or a single line AT

[violet maple]

ok

ill remember that next time i play

[glacial steeple]

hi chat

[inner sparrow]

no

line arty is bad, only thing u see is soft attack = good

while it doesn’t even give u that much soft for the width and cost

rangers just better instead

especially bc of way better combat modifiers overall

[glacial steeple]

its true if they dont research guns

[inner sparrow]

even gun1 3 rangers are better than one arty

[glacial steeple]

yes thats fair

they should make all guns like gun 0

would make the game silly and way worse

[inner sparrow]

https://tenor.com/view/squishy-capybara-capybara-cute-gif-14475125612865943894

[slow tree]

taking this was never this hard

they keep

faioling

they have railways but supply hubs are empty

[dusty sandal]

you're not gonna push anything without supplies, attacking a mountain with inf and tanks in winter

also, please adress the alerts at the top of your screen

[serene karma]

Show f4 mode

[dusty sandal]

build a port on the frontline and either ditch all but 8 divs if they're made to attack and able to do so in mountains (modifiers matter !!!!) or ditch all but 4 inf who'll fall back to Bodo and call it a day

[dusty sandal]

and you still haven't adressed all the alerts at the top of your screen. cmon man

[slow tree]

manpower thingy i dont understand

[dusty sandal]

correction, you haven't adressed any of them

[slow tree]

holy shit

i have 0

resistance i dotn know what to do

[dusty sandal]

what's you garrison law ?

[slow tree]

priority?

[dusty sandal]

1 - create a new division with a single cav bataillion and set it as garrison template through the occupation screen
2 - I'm guessing you're on military governor law, swap that for local police force everywhere except for ntherlands, belgium, france and poland on which you put secret police then harsh quotas (once you get enough manpower and guns in stockpile to swap)
3 - ensure you have no gun deficit and manpower in reserve

[empty latch]

how to get, help form britain in 1939?

are there any commands for that

[slow tree]

for garison i have

[dusty sandal]

Road to 56 ?

[slow tree]

yes

Whats the difference between SS and Wehrmacht troops

Also, what do i do if my troops doesnt atacck?

I saw alot of vids just to understand how to atacck eficiente and them when i order my troops to do it, they dont sometimes

Or they just defend and i need to forcé then

[runic basalt]

It because you’re not at war with the country?

[slender lodge]

I am

I just defeated poland,belgic and netherlands

So i try to get parís fast

And my troops doesnt atacck

But i were at war with france since poland

[glacial steeple]

none but the wehrmacht ones suck

[slender lodge]

So do i use SS or wehrmacht

[glacial steeple]

probably cuz they have no org or strenght

[glacial steeple]

oh i meant spawn ins

sorry

just use the army

[slender lodge]

You mean wehrmacht

But i need to understand something

[slender lodge]

Do i start with civ or mil factorías

i saw alot of ppl saying civ but i can’t even make tanks if i do cov

And If i turn to mili one’s i still dont get enough

[glacial steeple]

youre germany

your civs suck

make mils

[slender lodge]

Also

How to un ally Japan

I dont like having a 3 years front already winned and then Japan just war usa and im done

[glacial steeple]

thats just how it goes

they will attack the US

[slender lodge]

any tip for using tanks?

Like, which tanks do i use? (Light, medium, heavy)

[glacial steeple]

uhh probably dont if youre bad? but watch combat modifiers and theyre decent

you can refer to the pinned messages too

[slender lodge]

i am bad

[glacial steeple]

never use lights because they suck

[slender lodge]

Medium one’s works?

[glacial steeple]

hows that relevant ?

if youre bad tanks are more detrimental

[slender lodge]

Because i dont even know how to use air or paratroopers

[glacial steeple]

you dont have to use paras

offensive inf exists, though you should learn air its really easy

[slender lodge]

Then i got no chance to penetrate frnace

[glacial steeple]

[slender lodge]

[wispy cobalt]

Hey, i play HOI4 now for (only) a little bit more than 300 hours, but whenever i try to invade England as historical germany, i fail miserably. Could pls sb tell me how to improve?

[violet maple]

what

why

i always make civs early game

[dire jackal]

what the actual frick am I supposed to do here LMAO

why do they have so many planes 😭

[coarse finch]

Build more and better planes. Whats your fighter design?

[dire jackal]

base game, no dlc

[austere roost]

look at pins

oh wait you don't have plane design

[coarse finch]

They don't have any dlcs

Yea

[austere roost]

you'll need better planes and radar

you don't need to wait until 1940 to research 1940 planes

and train your planes before fighting

[coarse finch]

Advice still stands. Just ignore the plane design part

[austere roost]

you really only need 50 civs as germany because of 5th research slot

[coarse finch]

Also way more planes. Even with a better fighter you won't be winning when you've got a 1 to 4 ratio

[dire jackal]

oh yeah i advance researched planes everytime at 1938-1939

i thought i had a chill amount of planes with 2.5k then i see these mfing germans

[violet maple]

idk i ignore air

i ignore navy andd air

[wispy cobalt]

pls...

[fathom thistle]

are you doing nav invasion or paratroopers?

[wispy cobalt]

i tryed both and just got obliterated. i got no air surperiority when i tried planes. and when i tried navy, the ai just destroyed all my ships and disconnected my replenishment from being delivered

thanks for answering btw...

[fathom thistle]

for nav I usually did light cruisers spam with max light attack but apparently destroyer spam is better now. Making 4 chepeast carries wouldnt hurt either and if you really want something superior go for shbb project but it will take time to produce (worth it tho) while nav invading always makes sure you have air superiority over the region you patrol. having some nav bombers wouldnt hurt either to help your fleet survive. Although if you go for carries u can stack naval carrier bombers which are more effective.

[fathom thistle]

for plane desgins check pins

[wispy cobalt]

K, thank u so much! I´ll try immediatly. Thank u fr!

[slow tree]

are these stats good?

i dont understand any of these

[pliant condor]

then use your 2.5k

[wispy cobalt]

what are u playing rn?

[pliant condor]

also depending on whwat year it is

2.5k is a very small number

[wispy cobalt]

which country i mean

[pliant condor]

withoutl dlc you need to match their number

[slow tree]

germany

[slow tree]

both

[wispy cobalt]

ok, and u puppeted both, did u?

[slow tree]

yea

[gritty marten]

"greater germanic protectorate of denmark" i wonder which...

[wispy cobalt]

k, here the explaination: the more autonomy the puppets get, the more the stats move to the right. when there are enough levels completed, the puppets could even disband. so make sure to lower the autonomy, so f.e. the "Slovic State" doesn´t regain it´s independence from u (that would be the next thing that would happen, if the bar hits the bird like icon). U get now how it works?

[slow tree]

yea

so i should keep the blue bar low

[wispy cobalt]

yes

[slow tree]

thanks!
