[fathom thistle]

But like don't expect wonders from single sp in template

[proper crescent]

How many tank and motorised divisions is ok to have?

[fathom thistle]

As many as u want and can afford. Just don't do motorized it's bad.

[proper crescent]

Oh shouldn’t I have also motorised? I have heard that it help the tanks

[fathom thistle]

With tanks sure I guess. I thought u meant like only motorized without tanks.

Just try to get mechanized asap

[proper crescent]

Thank you for your advice 🙏🏻

[inner sparrow]

just use mechanized

motorised are shit and worse than cav unless u have doctrines grinded

ur better of using cav in ur tank div early on till u get mechanized

[proper crescent]

Thank you 🙏🏻

[supple jungle]

i want to do a monarchist japan game

but im not sure the type of planes or navy to build

[mild portal]

well thank you for the advice

[mild portal]

motor is bad?

like why?

they are fast infantry

suitable for accompanying breakthroughs

[marble mountain]

the mod i installed is not in my playset

[fathom thistle]

It's bad in the sense that as with cavarly the infantry bonuses don't stack with it. Cavarly also grants speed but doesn't need any trucks.

[cloud pawn]

Whats the best tutorial video as a beginner

[scenic nacelle]

Add the mod

Top right of the playset screen

[marble mountain]

still not here

[cloud pawn]

Like completely new

[supple jungle]

what planes are recommended to build as japan?

[mild portal]

what does that mean the supply icon?

never knew ships needed supply

or maybe that means fuel?

[patent cloak]

im very new to hoi4 (100 or smth hours) and i wanna do tanks but idk how like if im palying historical germany and try to do that i immedietly get killed by poland, idk what are good divisions and good strats and require help please

[mild portal]

zero i guess

[supple jungle]

fair enough

[mild portal]

The zero

a plane called that name

not zero planes

[mild portal]

well requiring help generally is very hard to get from a chat here

[patent cloak]

so how about youtube?

ima just watch a tutorial

[mild portal]

if you want to learn the game watch tutorials

yes

[patent cloak]

you got any recommandations

[mild portal]

and when you want help in something specific you can ask here i guess

[patent cloak]

actually

[mild portal]

for tutorials no but i think maybe watch bittersteel

either normal gameplay or tutorials he seems like he knows how to play

or just write hoi 4 tutorial and get the most recent one for 2026

and the most viwed

viewed

[patent cloak]

is there a way to go down the confederacy path as america after you did reastablish the gold standerd and try to go down that path but do neutrality thingy focus and cant go down that path, can you still cancel that and go down the confederacy path?

[mild portal]

i am not really sure

because i played USA once

and dont know much about the focus tree

[patent cloak]

can the neutrality focus be cancelled if you get into a war?

[mild portal]

but my guessing answer is no you cant change path once you have taken a one

[patent cloak]

not like that

its not split choice like remilitarize the rhinelands and oppose hitler

[mild portal]

Idk what u talking about TBH

[patent cloak]

lemme see rq

[mild portal]

yeah would be better

[mild portal]

yeah i get it but idk what exactly u talking about

[patent cloak]

i think this

[patent cloak]

doesnt help nvm

[mild portal]

i can see nothing lol

[patent cloak]

thansk for the help cya

[mild portal]

ok

[coarse finch]

You mean mutually exclusive focus paths?

[patent cloak]

yea

[mild portal]

no he means it is not mutually exclusive

[mild portal]

u said it is not mutually exclusive

[patent cloak]

i meant its not mutually exclusive

[coarse finch]

I think he's asking if it is or not

[patent cloak]

nonono

[mild portal]

he knows it isnt

he asking something else

[patent cloak]

i said split choice but i meant mutually exclusive

[mild portal]

bro what

[patent cloak]

so i meant to ask

[mild portal]

u told me some diffrent story btw

[patent cloak]

its not its not split choice like remilitarize the rhinelands and oppose hitler
like remilitarize the rhinelands and oppose hitler

[mild portal]

u could just screenshot it

simply

[patent cloak]

ik

lowkey yea

lemme just ask google atp

[coarse finch]

Right

[patent cloak]

i gtg thanks for the help tho

[mild portal]

u r welcome

[mild portal]

can i ask u something

what is the best inf doctorine for japan?

or it depends?

[coarse finch]

I honestly don't know

[mild portal]

ok

[fathom thistle]

assault

[supple jungle]

why the hell did i get stalled out in china this game is rigged

[glacial steeple]

indiv is really good in general

or large unit tactics

[toxic chasm]

Can someone help me how to build ships

[fathom thistle]

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2943980823

[toxic chasm]

i mean i have a specific problem

when i try to produce ships it says scapping

[cosmic rain]

if a vehicle is destroyed by attrition (low reliability), does its manpower die with it? I assume it does for planes, but what about tanks?

[dusty sandal]

individual excellence is very powerful due to the HP gain
Assault inf is really powerful for attack inf/special forces due to the huge buffs you gain from support arty, flame tank and light tank recon (allows you to stack breakthrough)

[dusty sandal]

manpower only dies in divs through combat, not attrition

[cosmic rain]

okay, and it does die in planes though, right?

[dusty sandal]

yup

in ships too (except convoy that aren't transporting divs)

[cosmic rain]

okay

thanks

[mild portal]

guys i am playing japan

but in the new focus tree after the new dlc i cant find the marco polo bridge incident

so how can i declare war on china?

[glacial steeple]

your army does it for you, reinforce the hebei garrisons makes them do it faster

[mild portal]

when the countdown finished it said failed

idk what failed

but that is what happened

[glacial steeple]

that means china gets event afaik

[mild portal]

china gets what?

[glacial steeple]

for the incident

[mild portal]

ok they get the event but shouldnt i get the justification?

[glacial steeple]

no

you declare automatically

[mild portal]

ok when then?

the countdown is done btw

[glacial steeple]

just wait a bit

unpaused

[mild portal]

ok

[mild portal]

lol

why would i wait paused

[glacial steeple]

idk just making sure

[mild portal]

ok (:

wow

i got it after few hours only passed

[unique ingot]

whats the perfect post 1945 tank template for a country with huge economy

[uncut narwhal]

ig heavy tanks

so heavy spgs

just stack soft attack

[austere roost]

Mediums in sp

Medium spgs with highest howitzer, 2 heavy machine guns, and additional machine gun

[fast bear]

im a small minor nation what should i take?

[fathom thistle]

Assault

Mainly if you are planning to conquer

Great war infantry is also fine

[dusty sandal]

assault inf

large unit is ok but not as minor nation
indiv excellence is good too but requires DLC

[neat widget]

depends on what types of units you want to build

people like building special forces for japan

[pliant condor]

assault infantry

if you build land facility

or large unit

[pliant condor]

individual excellence is technically the correct answer but assault inf would probably give you the best experience

[visual yacht]

I thought mediums were default because heavys have those massive terrain penalties?

[worn pendant]

why is dispersed industry better then concentrated

[inner sparrow]

no

[visual yacht]

Isnt that what segl says in his template vid

[worn pendant]

i thought mediums are default tank cuz how increidlby expensive heavy is

[inner sparrow]

this was about mp

not sp

in sp u go mediums bc they are cheap and u dont need the amount of stats that u get with heavies as they are over kill

[worn pendant]

ahhh

[inner sparrow]

the segl vids that ik never said that and if he made a new one where he did say it, its wrong

heavy are the go to in mp

[visual yacht]

I might be misremembering, maybe a diff youtuber

Oh mightve been that machiavelli guy

[inner sparrow]

u have enough support companies like flame and armored engi that make the terrain debuffs mostly irrelevant

[visual yacht]

This makes sense

[inner sparrow]

besides a few kinds

[inner sparrow]

most of stuff he says is completely wrong btw

from the vids that ive seen

even for sp a lot of wrong stuff

[visual yacht]

Yeah most of the big hoi4 yourhbers typically are XD

[inner sparrow]

yeah

[worn pendant]

does britian get any bonus to heavy tanks cuz the churchill and all that

[inner sparrow]

segl is okay but he only makes videos about very basic mp stuff and nothing indepth and sometimes its wrong

but overall its fine

[stoic prairie]

could anyone help in the vc ?

[inner sparrow]

gb has an infantry tank designer which are the best designers for tanks

any tanks no matter heavy or medium or light

if u have infantry tank mio u always want to take it

[worn pendant]

its bonuses seem lack luster compared to like medium MIO

[visual yacht]

Segl is the closest thing to a modern day 71cloak

[inner sparrow]

theres different types of mio when coming to tanks, the one u produce with on ur production line and the one u design with

infantry tank mio has the best stats for ur design

deinler benz for example on germany meanwhile is the best to produce to have on production line

so if u have 2 that are good for production and one for stats u want to grind both in mp

ofc in sp this isn’t needed and just very optimised gameplay

[worn pendant]

is supermarine and that one japansese one i cant spell still the best for fighters

[inner sparrow]

u mean space marines?

[worn pendant]

no fight MIO

[inner sparrow]

ahhhh

[worn pendant]

fighter*

[uncut drum]

mitsubishi

[inner sparrow]

idk im not a japan player

[uncut drum]

or aichi?

[worn pendant]

this one

[inner sparrow]

he is japan player

so whatever he says is right

[worn pendant]

i usually play soviets so im trying out new things from time to time

[uncut drum]

what about it

[inner sparrow]

same im a sov main too

[worn pendant]

is that the best MIO in the game for fighters along side supermarine

[uncut drum]

mitsubishi is only for production

[worn pendant]

is SOV underpowered compared to like germany or is that a skill issue

[uncut drum]

aichi is the stats one

[inner sparrow]

it’s underpowered

[worn pendant]

ahnhh okayu

[uncut drum]

idk if supermarine is good i never played uk

but aichi is good

[worn pendant]

it doesnt seem to get many buffs even after you do all the millitary reforms

[inner sparrow]

issues aren’t the buffs, germany just has too many stats and the biggest reason is ic difference and the fact u always fight under red air as soviets

its fine tho, allies are op aswell so in a hist lobby ur job as soviets is just to hold out as oong as possible till germany dies to allies

[worn pendant]

germany does get a lot of buffs though to like its millitary and production capablities doesnt it?

[inner sparrow]

yeah basically

[worn pendant]

like in a pure stats thing if the soviets and germans had the same industry and units the germans would win because they have more modifers or no?

[inner sparrow]

yeah while also having better mios stat wise

[neat widget]

yeah, and then nerfed it even more just now

so yeah

france meanwhile

[worn pendant]

that seems frustrating. Like you go through all the struggle of having a sucky millitary with a bunch of bad modifers just to handle all of them and have just a regular army

compared to germany which starts with a decent millitary and just gets more buffs as the game goes on with the focuses

[inner sparrow]

nerfing soviets bc soviet ai is beating up germany ai in sp

straight up

[uncut drum]

https://tenor.com/view/marin-crying-marin-kitagawa-my-dress-up-darling-my-dress-up-darling-season-2-mdud-s2-gif-10374253551883832074

[worn pendant]

that feels like a poor way to balance the game

[inner sparrow]

its a poor attempt at fixing their ai instead of actually making it good

[neat widget]

yeah true

[worn pendant]

perhaps some early industry nerfs instead of more millitary nerfs?

[uncut drum]

unpaid devs make better modders then paradox team 💀

[inner sparrow]

soviets doesn’t need to be nerfed they just need to fix their ai, especially germany ai, doing the worst decisions possible in the game

germany ai choosing between annexing czechs and 1 dockyard (they will take the dockyard)

🤔

[worn pendant]

soviets should have like millitary debuffs and industry debuffs early on (leaning more on millitary) and like by 38-39 the industry ones should be cleared up and by like 43 you should be starting to get like millitary buffs

because the soviet industry early on was large but inefficent

but thats just my 2 cents

either way uh how to austria hungry as austria

do i rush polotical or do i do a blaance of eco and political

[glacial steeple]

this game is not irl and most games are over by 43 lol

[vale cypress]

hi i want to know how i can make a mod that just reworks some focus trees and events

[worn pendant]

this game kinda advertises its self as a historical game to a degree and sometimes accurate things can be fun

2nd most games are over at that point because one side steamrolls because the balance is weirdly schewed but id imagine you could get it done by like late 41 mid 42 if you were fast about it

[vale cypress]

use mods

like

mods are way better than vanilla

a mlp mod manages to be more realistic than vanilla

[sleek oar]

how do u get a new leader for germany while still being fascist?

[vale cypress]

kill the fuhrer

his wife will become the leader

then she'll marry churchil and the war ends

[sleek oar]

what focus or event do i need

[vale cypress]

conspiracy event

it happens in 1940s i think

[jagged hull]

I think I'm going to need a lot of help because I'm trying to get HRE as a German empire as Victoria the 3rd

[austere roost]

That's why there's black ice

[austere roost]

You can wc by 1937 if you want

If you want historical accuracy you can watch documentaries of WW2

[visual yacht]

I always thought mech/motorized had lower manpower requirements but turns out they dont. Whats the best army comp for a minor nation?

[worn pendant]

question what is a good para trooper div

[visual yacht]

Spec forces for offense, but would you go mech/mot for def or just 18w inf?

Considering manpower is low

[austere roost]

Motor is useless

Mech provides hardness but I doubt you can make mech inf divisions as a small nation. And even if you can just upgrade it into a proper SPG division.

[visual yacht]

So whats the play for low pop nations, inf only and just keep the front small?

[mild portal]

me too

[glacial steeple]

its kinda the best for everyone

lowkey

[sour wadi]

is there any way to justify and kill france as rexist belgium, before they join the allieS?

i rushed down abandon neutrality

instantly justified on lebanon

and im still 30 days short

if i justify on france, im doomed because it generates too much world tension, making the UK garantuee their independence

[peak breach]

i need some help learning the game

[pulsar beacon]

what is multiplayer amounts of meta breakthrough on tank divisions

is it anything about 1000 or

by 1941

[light knoll]

its not

dispersed is always worse if you know what you're doing

[worn pendant]

ive always been told it is worse

[glacial steeple]

ehhh

if you have most mil output within a year maybe

so like netherlands, poland, belgium on hist

maybe finland

usa maybe

[lyric agate]

hello

[faint dirge]

does putting air attack on a naval bomber or close air support / tactical bomber accomplish anything?

the wiki is kind of confusing. Do other missions beside air superiority count towards air superiority? How do escort and intercept missions work?

[glacial steeple]

if it gets into fights with fighters yes

otherwise no

[glacial steeple]

they dont

but the planes still fly

escort/intercept kinda dont work

[lyric agate]

please someone help me im new

[faint dirge]

what do you need help with?

[neat widget]

wait what?

[glacial steeple]

like they work

but its like

usually the same effect as air supremacy

with less buff

[austere roost]

i don't think intercept provides supremacy, was it changed?

[glacial steeple]

it does not

[faint dirge]

maybe they are for saving fuel

[glacial steeple]

its meant to only target already spotted planes

but it means you also dont build up air efficiency from planes afaik

[glacial steeple]

if you want to save fuel, day fly only

theres 3 sorties per day

2 at day 1 at night

and you save 60% of fuel day flying because the game is silly

[faint dirge]

whats the advantage of intercept over air superiority

[glacial steeple]

.

it doesnt tend to work out from my experience

[faint dirge]

yes but what advatage does that offer

[glacial steeple]

compared to air superiority

[glacial steeple]

it means they dont just fly all the time

and so cant get shot down all the time

allegedlyt

but also you need high spotting to trade well typically and more planes give more spotting

[faint dirge]

so its kind of like the air equivelant of strike force vs patrol

for navy

[glacial steeple]

yes

but like bad

but yes

[faint dirge]

you could be cheeky and get a bunch of night mission bonuses and only fly at night

[glacial steeple]

you lose 60% of your sorties

[faint dirge]

well the reason you put ships on strike force is usually because you don't have enough fuel, or because your ships are slow and you want faster ships to patrol and engage enemy ships to pin them in place

[glacial steeple]

yeah but night flying uses most of the fuel of flying

so why would you

[faint dirge]

because of how many night bonuses you can stack

[glacial steeple]

test

[balmy dawn]

What's the preferred combat width for infantry? 18?

[faint dirge]

testes..1..2..3?

fatter divisions are easier to manage

i tend to make main infantry of 36 width and auxillary infantry of 18 width. they are the same division just cut in half with the same support.

fatter divisions also have better stats

even though its technically less organization

[balmy dawn]

That's a fat division

[austere roost]

36 is the ideal width for offensive units

actually it's 35 but 35 is too hard to get with good battalions so we just use 36

[balmy dawn]

Im USSR here, so Im on defense, and I keep getting rolled

[austere roost]

you need to build your industry

you should be able to get to 300 factories by barb if you don't early war and start from there

[balmy dawn]

300... zoinks

[austere roost]

300 is not hard

[untold monolith]

240 18 width divs and youll be finee against ai

[balmy dawn]

I'm at 192

[faint dirge]

yes, after your computer catches fire

[austere roost]

get to 300 and you can easily defend against base germany, then try to defend it at the border, then try and see how much industry you really can get, and then try early wars to really push the limit of your industry

[faint dirge]

300 is kind of asking a lot for a new player

[austere roost]

just remember if you're defending the river line don't build industry before it

[balmy dawn]

I don't see how you can get 300 by Barabarossa... but I'll take your word for it

[austere roost]

here's 450 before barb

[faint dirge]

maybe if you play some hyper optimized strategy

but that doesn't sound like fun

[glacial steeple]

building factories ?

[austere roost]

but really it's not hard once you learn how to get war economy by spanish civil war

[faint dirge]

or do you mean like mils and civs combined?

[austere roost]

either send attache to spain or to optimize it, justifying on poland after you rush down the nkvd focus and cancel once you reach 50.5% ws

[austere roost]

yes, everyone means the total factory count when they say how many factories you need by barb

[balmy dawn]

ok, then Im at 179. Better, but still not 300

[austere roost]

get war economy early then

If you're fascist/communist the first 150 pp goes to free trade or war economy

[untold monolith]

how long do you build civs? to 37 or 38?

[austere roost]

3 years before war is the optimal time to start building mils

[balmy dawn]

That's interesting.. do you switch to a more closed econoomy after war starts?

[austere roost]

no because it's insane to pay 150 pp to reduce factory output by 15%

[glacial steeple]

in sp maybe

no tradebacks

but you dont want to

[faint dirge]

If you've got Resources to spare

if your not some powerhouse you might run out of steel real quick

[balmy dawn]

Is building static Anti-Air a thing for Russia?

...since I apparantly need a lot more planes

[faint dirge]

have you tried adding support anti air?

to your divisions?

i gotta go, see you

[neat widget]

ah i see

[inner sparrow]

not as sovs, free trade on sovs is bait

[austere roost]

that's why it's or

ussr starts at export focus and civ economy so obv first pp goes to getting 50 ws and then war economy

[inner sparrow]

yeah

and staying ok export is fine enough

also if in mp snd germany has a brain u don’t need to waste pp on attache to get 50ws as soviets

sadly ai never rushes anschluss

[austere roost]

i don't

i just rush nkvd and justify on poland until i get 50 ws

[inner sparrow]

u get 50ws with getting rid of the faction goal who can declare war and then any world tension spike makes u have 50ws

[austere roost]

yeah but to get it by scw you need to justify on something

without justifying you're at 48 by the time you send volunteers to scw

[inner sparrow]

yeah just remove the who declare war rule and justify day one and as soon as u have 150pp u can take war eco

without wasting a focus or anything

[haughty vortex]

So.. What does "meta" and "meme" mean in HOI4 slang?

[left mica]

Never go free trade lol

[cosmic rain]

"meta" is the optimal method of play, common slang in all videogame communities

[left mica]

ur mom is meta (jk)

[inner sparrow]

the word meta gets thrown around in the hoi4 community like nothing tho

90% of time its not meta even tho they use it

[untold monolith]

how do u even get rid of the goal? disband the comintern?

[austere roost]

get 5 mil xp and create a one inf division and train 29 of them to pass the goal that gives you the faction command center

[inner sparrow]

^

[torpid wasp]

I am trying to get the achievement Underpaid, Undersexed, and Under Eisenhower as the us take over the allies any tips on how to accomplish it cause the UK seems to have a lot of troops I tried to make a big division to pad the manpower but the UK put more out bt the time I get alot they just have more and I am realitivley new at the game

[hoary glen]

Is it still just fielded manpower and factories? If you want to boost your fielded manpower train up some Template with just a single Inf in it (up to your gun stockpile size), deploy it early and then switch it out with a very big template. Also increase conscription.

[torpid wasp]

Yeah but I don't know how big the template for the infantry what the best stratagy to get the us up and running for the most factories

[hoary glen]

Static AA only counters Strat Bombing (and maybe Logi strike -forgot-). So to counter CAS you need AA in your Divisions and to counter fighters you need more and better fighters than your enemy

[hoary glen]

Build civs until you complete the faction goal, if you want the game to last longer even some more to like end of 38, and then just build mils.

[torpid wasp]

I thought it would be batter to disable the new DLC and try and take over the faction that way

[balmy dawn]

I assume that fighters counter everything though, right? Friendly fighters should shoot down everything?

[hoary glen]

And Inf just build your normal stuff until you you think you can reach the goal. Then make a template with just a single Inf unit and then swap it to an 32w Template or an even bigger one you have anyways. They will have no guns, but be full of your entire Manpower.

[hoary glen]

Just build the factories anyway that way. Doesn't change.

[hoary glen]

Yes

[high basin]

Does anyone know why when I play manchukuo my factory keep getting blowed up, is there a hidden mechanic after that?

[hoary glen]

Don't you start with some rebels you need to get rid of?

Either focus or decisions. Check those out

[high basin]

yea I got the rebels but for some reason my factory is still getting blow up

is there a bug?

[hoary glen]

I don't know Manchu tree by heart, sorry. But it's very likely you're still missing something

Is everything you have cored?

Or do you have resistance somewhere?

[high basin]

this is the only debuff i had

and the factory getting blow up are on my core

I’m so confused 😵‍💫

[serene karma]

Are they being bombed

Check ur air

[hoary glen]

No way China has Strats. Would be funny af if Soviets send them tho

[hoary glen]

Btw never repair those yourself. Just build more of your usual stuff they get auto repaired after some time.

[high basin]

oh i don't know that thx

[hoary glen]

If there's nothing in your decision tab I don't know either at this point. Sorry

[high basin]

Yea I hope my factory don’t get blown up again.

[serene karma]

Are they being bombed?

Check the air tab

[high basin]

the chinese only have 12 bomber and is not on me so idk

[hollow whale]

Any command to nuke a country faster?

[torpid wasp]

For the achievement I am going towards I heard and read that Britain just needs to be in a faction with you it doesn't have tobe the allies.I don't know if it's true, but if it is i could go non historical and hope they switch ideologies

[hoary glen]

If anyone it would be a nation sending air volunteers to China

[high basin]

I see

[hollow whale]

As italy I am at war with the kingdom of albania but I haven't captured yugoslavia yet I nuked all parts of albania but they're just not surrendering what do I even do noww

[patent forge]

When are amtracs worth using?

I plan on doing a philippines naval build with focus on marines and naval invasions

ive never use amtracs before so I was wondering

can they be paired with marines or are they supposed to accompany other stuff like mechanised and tanks

[indigo sapphire]

well

there are also amphibious tank battalions

[patent forge]

philippines has no industry for tanks

only considering mechanised

[indigo sapphire]

oh alr

[visual yacht]

Does anyone know what exactly needs to occur to get the Awake and Angry achievement? I accepted japans surrender, ive puppeted the warlords, ive taken tibet, i have all core states except for the ports that you dont need but still no achievement

[celest shuttle]

convoy can shot down my naval bomber?

what the hell ????

[light knoll]

they have like

0.1 attack or something

[celest shuttle]

i think my naval bomber will easy to kill convoy

[dusty sandal]

each convoy has 0.1 light atk and 0.1 air atk
but considering how air atk is calculated in encounter naval battles it's extremely deadly compared to the cost
there's a meme about it where, efficiency-wise, AA battleships aren't nearly as powerful as a convoy fleet in terms of bombers shot down outside of battles

[celest shuttle]

@dusty sandalthank u

[lyric osprey]

why cant I use ICBMs to show japan how the sun looks but I can use bombers? I built missile silos on US west coast and even one inside japan itself but shows out of range

[scenic nacelle]

Invade

[scenic nacelle]

In vanilla?

No

[lyric osprey]

there is literally one missile silo here in hokaido but I still cant use it

[dusty sandal]

no icbm in that silo

[scenic nacelle]

Do u have missiles in that silo

[lyric osprey]

how do I check that and how do I supply it with them

[dusty sandal]

also, bomb the airfield or the divs but no a random tile

[dusty sandal]

just like you do with planes

but in that silo

[lyric osprey]

ik but I wanted to show that its not available

[lyric osprey]

TIL THE SILOS ARE CLICKABLE

[lyric osprey]

what if I also have nuclear subs but forgot to equip them with icbms... I fixed it on production tab but I already have a few

[dusty sandal]

equip them now ahah

just like you would equip carriers

[lyric osprey]

yeah I have like 30 hours I only know how to equip on production tab

oh okay there is a small silo button on the fleet

[dusty sandal]

you can click on he plane icon of carriers/missile icon of subs when you send them on missions (only on naval view) or if they're in port

[lyric osprey]

what exactly do nukes do except damaging units and destroying airfields

is there any sense in just bombing the entire japan

[dusty sandal]

they damage all buildings in state and apply a modifier for 180days that limits construction speed, supply and repair speed

and reduce war support

[tepid ingot]

I want to unmute my voice on Discord. Even though I've configured all the settings, why can't I speak?

[hexed parcel]

Hey chat I saw some people get high velo 3 heavies out before barb just wondering how one could research at ahead of time

Tried researching day one as soviets until barb but only got to second last tech

Should I just convert to hc2 then hc3 when it's avaliable

[dusty sandal]

that's not really the place to ask but it's either because your microphone isn't working/is turned off/isn't detected by discord or because you didn't give discord the required autorization
google that issue and check discord forums/support

[tepid ingot]

I'm in a voice chat right now and I can hear everyone, but my voice isn't being transmitted. Also, I've read almost everythiing 🙂

[dusty sandal]

Germany uses the 2year ahead buff they get on arty from innovative warfare focus
soviets use the 100%buffs on 1942 and 1943 techs

[dusty sandal]

test your microphone using windows tools

[tepid ingot]

it works

[hexed parcel]

Where do soviets get AT research bonus mind asking

[dusty sandal]

it's arty buff in military focuses

next to tankograd iirc

[hexed parcel]

Oh and you can use that for anti tank

[dusty sandal]

yes

[hexed parcel]

Got it now

Cheers man

[inner sparrow]

They have 2 different focuses, one gives 75% buffs and other one 2x 2 years ahead of time but locked by a focus that needs basic medium researched

if u want at3 or aa3 u have to do the 2x 2 years ahead of time one

[hexed parcel]

Yup I got it now

[inner sparrow]

if ur good enough u can even get aa3 and at3 if u do both focuses but thats more than overkill in sp

[hexed parcel]

Its mostly to test build

[inner sparrow]

for mp?

[hexed parcel]

Pretty much yeah

[inner sparrow]

I can send u a sov guide if u want to read through and get some inspiration

ofc if u want to figure it out urself go for it

[hexed parcel]

I think I got it all checked out tbh bro but thx anyways

Gonna go high velo 3 heavies with motorised aa

[inner sparrow]

yeah thats fine

[hexed parcel]

18 width inf with logi signal and field hospitals

[inner sparrow]

go 16w instead

[hexed parcel]

Higher org

[inner sparrow]

18 is just more ic for nothing

[inner sparrow]

nothing burger

its only like fillers they get mogged by everything that axis has no matter 16 or 18

u just want to have 400-500 divs out to fill cw as much as possible

[hexed parcel]

One final question if I mind asking

[inner sparrow]

yeah

[hexed parcel]

Is it worth improving relations with france for license heavy 20% research bonus

Or just research day one

Cause it'd be 2 3s and a 6 in my books

[inner sparrow]

its worth it if france is ai

u dont research it day1

tbh

I dont produce heavies day one till I get my own

instead I go 16 on support eq

and u will never care about s eq again

[hexed parcel]

Yeah it'd be the same no matter what

[inner sparrow]

yes

[hexed parcel]

License would make no difference

Then again tho

It's only researxhing basic heavies

Cause improved chassis ain't really worth it

[inner sparrow]

improved chasis is worth it if ur ger but as sov it isnt

just research ur own heavy after having all 2nd tear of industry and electronic techs

first time ur research slot frees up and u don’t have any industry or electronics tech is the time for heavy basic

also never research ahead of time unless big bonuses like for at or tools5

[hexed parcel]

You'd be building tanks a little later though imo

Like early 37

By then you'd probably have decent efficency

If you built from let's say mid 36 on a convert

[scenic nacelle]

Go to voice and video for discord settings

Then change microphone

Test it on the testing thing too

[inner sparrow]

u dont get mills till end 37 so doesn’t matter

and besides that ur just building french shitter base with license debuff

wasted ic u have other stuff u can produce instead that u need anyways

the overall outcome is better if u do it like that

less wasted ic

this is all u need from early production till u start building mils

ur never again have to go up on sp eq or any of those eq

fake news???

[cyan pawn]

Anyone new ish to the game? I wanna learn with someone how to play because I have no clue.

[inner sparrow]

@uncut drum is very new

[uncut drum]

i played a bit, ik the basics

^^

hoi4 mid tho, copy pasted war of dots smh

[inner sparrow]

truke

[glacial steeple]

wow youve played so much

[glacial steeple]

whats fake?

[jagged hull]

i was about to declare war on french commune but japan declare the whole world every nation is at war fighting against japan like wtf are you doing japan you are very screwed britsh, usa navy like wtf 0-0

and soviet fix there purg

[short arrow]

I have the spanish civial war thing going on and my guy down there is saying thathe has battle plans with no units assigned, how can i confirm what are his battleplans?

[dusty sandal]

you have a frontline with no units assigned to it

you can ignore this to be fair

[low vector]

If I have green air, and have better stats than the enemy is it okay for me to go on the offensive with my regular line infantry usually used for defense?

People reccommend usually attacking with Tanks and Speacial Forces. However are there exceptions to these rules?

[inner sparrow]

if u have green air and full cas in every battle it doesn’t matter as long as u dont have insane shit divs

ur div is good enough if u have enough cas

ofc this only counts as long as you don’t run out of stockpile instantly

[low vector]

How much CAS is usually good for a front 200,500,600?

Or will 100 do?

[inner sparrow]

500 in an airzone

depends on your cas design aswell

but just have 500 of ur cas in every airzone ur fighting in and ur good

ofc if u have more put more in it

[low vector]

Thank you!

In terms of micro, do I micro my speacial forces like I would make tanks? Or is it more effective to offensive battleplan and execute?

[inner sparrow]

u can micro but against ai just battleplan

ur fine as long as you have some stockpile

[low vector]

Thank you for the tips!

[dusty sandal]

if you see red bubbles, don't battleplan

[stuck garnet]

Hey

I wanna do spartacus later

(Not now when i get home)

For fighting against austria and italy

Should i get mountaineers?

Also idk about air power

Why is air so op😭

[arctic aspen]

How easy is back dooring germany through the maginot as britain while they fight poland? If you go for 1940 planes it seems to slow

[dusty sandal]

if 1939 it's really easy

make good offensive divs, enough shitter inf to hold the line afterwards, get air supremacy (very easy) and done

[arctic aspen]

When do you make you planes? I dont produce anything until 1940 is done, in my current game its December 1st 1939 and I juat got 30 factories on my planes, I cant get air sup

[analog maple]

if i have canada. is 1938 a good time to attack usa as germany?

[keen hemlock]

Wdym you “have Canada”

In your faction?

[analog maple]

yea as a puppet

[keen hemlock]

Oh

[patent forge]

rangers or mountaineers?

for southeast asia

and maybe europe eventually

[keen hemlock]

I’d wait untill I go onto partial mob at least and have a big enough army

[analog maple]

im already at war eco

[keen hemlock]

I assume you got rid of the great depression

[analog maple]

rangers

[analog maple]

what are you talking about?

what great deprassion

[keen hemlock]

Whoops

I thought you said attack Germany as USA

[analog maple]

oh lol

[keen hemlock]

But yeah 1938 should be fine as long as your army is big enough

[analog maple]

thx

[dusty sandal]

you can produce early planes, you just need the canon tech, 1936 airframe + engine 2 and range improvement tech

you add extra fuel tank, light MG turret, 4xlight MG, x2 canon 1s
supermarine MIO
you produce loads of these with CAS (if needed) made of 2 bombs locks, engine 2, range, and the module that reduces air defence and cost since you're ot gonna use CAS until enemy airforce isn't real anymore

[lavish saddle]

what are the best infantry units to be used for different doctrines?

[austere roost]

there's just one infantry template if you mean for defense

16-18 width with engineer and support art

and add other support companies based on need like support aa or ranger recon

doctrines don't determine your playstyle, they just affect your stats when you are in combat

[lavish saddle]

and for offense?

[austere roost]

read pins

[fathom thistle]

36w.

[gleaming dragon]

guys whats the difference between medium and modern tanks

[fathom thistle]

Or 35 if you really want to pump the cw. But you will have less HP and attack from missing that one inf

[fathom thistle]

Modern - better stats.

It's just evolution in like irl where most of the mediums became mbt',s

[gleaming dragon]

so i should switch to that later game?

[fathom thistle]

If you are like really late game sure. If you can afford them

[gleaming dragon]

its like 1950 rn and i use this template (these are medium tanks)

so

if i switch this up from medium to modern

it would be better?

[grand sky]

its not in the pins

[fathom thistle]

Yes.

[analog maple]

is it possible to puppet hungary as germany?i think i saw the ai do it

[gleaming dragon]

Also do you might know an allround good template for infantry late game? i cant seem to find a good one

Possible one thats offensive

[fathom thistle]

I have one for offense if u want.

Ah bet

[gleaming dragon]

could ya maybe send a ss of it. I have no idea what people mean with 18/3 or whatever😭

[fathom thistle]

Yeah gimme a sec

Loading the game

[gleaming dragon]

take your time dw👍

[fathom thistle]

18/3 is wild

[gleaming dragon]

😬

[fathom thistle]

Didnt research all projects but if u want to upgrade it even more get medevacs, if you have air superiority repalce support aa with either rangers or light tank recon

(i sent wrong ss before)

[gleaming dragon]

ah

[gleaming dragon]

what is self proppelled support?

[fathom thistle]

spgs

or tds

[gleaming dragon]

yea i got those tanks

but like

I dont see the option for it

in doctorines

[fathom thistle]

oh, I didnt know it was part of dlc, rip. what doctrines u have there?

[gleaming dragon]

which dlc

dude i got money

[fathom thistle]

it wont affect this template anwyay

[gleaming dragon]

😘

it will

i kinda do focus on tanks but also need infantry

if that doctorine is good

i gotta have it

[fathom thistle]

it's like the best for sp since spgs rock in sp

[gleaming dragon]

ahhh i see so how do i get that

what dlc

[fathom thistle]

NCNS i think

[gleaming dragon]

ah yes. i just searched it up

ty😎

[patent forge]

why is my macarthur democratic?

i saw people on youtube having him as non aligned

[low vector]

Any good templates to defend coastline? I am playing as italy and I have all of france and north africa greece and turkey.

[lavish saddle]

macarthur has the drip

[fathom thistle]

Can be both

[patent forge]

how can I make him nonaligned?

[fathom thistle]

Weill, If I remember right USA doesn't have non aligned advisor so it is probably a focus.

Didn't play USA for sum time so I might be wrong

[patent forge]

im playing as philipines btw

[fathom thistle]

Oh

No idea then

[dusty sandal]

NEVER do that

modern tanks are worse than light tanks

[gleaming dragon]

alr alr😭 why not

[dusty sandal]

they can't fit in any secondary guns meaning they always have lower atk stats than mediums or heavies, they cost a lot of everything (ic, resources, research) and don't benefit from some MIO buffs (such as but not limited to buffs to "medium tanks" or "heavy tanks"
swapping to modern also means that you'll be losing all efficiency on production lines for about 6months, meaning less tanks that are objectively worse

[dusty sandal]

same as the template to hold the line. 9inf, support arty, aa, engineers

engineers is more important n costal garrisons than frontline ones simply for the fact that they don't move, thus using entrenchment to full extent

in multiplayer you make 40width inf for cities and 36width inf brick for regular coastline, you can do it too but it'll be overkill against AI

[wraith cypress]

Is
3 infantry/ 3 infantry/ 3 infantry/2 artillery
Good?

[keen hemlock]

Medium tanks also don’t count as modern tanks, so you will need to produce all of them

[dusty sandal]

ditch the arty

waste of resources

9inf, support arty and aa is the best frontline in term of cost-usefulness
it's dirt cheap, hold the line perfectly well while units designed to push, push
but, thanks to the support arty, it's able to push by itself if it significantly outnumbers the enemy or if you have air supremacy

[torpid wasp]

For the achievement I am going towards I heard and read that Britain just needs to be in a faction with you it doesn't have tobe the allies.I don't know if it's true, but if it is i could go non historical and hope they switch ideologies

[keen hemlock]

Which achievement

[torpid wasp]

Underpaid, Undersexed, and Under Eisenhower

[keen hemlock]

Ah

Just play historical

Easiest way to ally with the uk

[wraith cypress]

Can you explain it in more beginner-friendly way?

[analog maple]

what do i do if there is not enough steel to buy?

[wraith cypress]

💀

[dusty sandal]

remove the arty bataillions
inf divs are meant to hold the line, they don't need arty for that (arty isn't good at attacking either)
so you make pure inf with support companies of anti air and support artillery
then you make tanks or big special forces to push ot you build air or a mix of tanks/SF and planes

[dusty sandal]

do your excavation techs
build infra in steel-rich states
build the electrical grid that improves resource extraction
hire resource advisors
add resource MIO traits
go down in economy law
put occupied territories with lots of steel on forced labor occupation law

[glacial steeple]

year?

[austere roost]

there are so many infantry/special forces templates in the pins

[spark gorge]

could you help me

my paradrop is not working

I got all green air

I can activate the battleplan

but it just does nothing

[glacial steeple]

1: it has planning time since NCNS

[spark gorge]

7 days

done

[glacial steeple]

2: your airfield might be overstacked

[spark gorge]

it is

[glacial steeple]

3: air superiority percentage might be too low

[spark gorge]

they got no airforce anymore

[glacial steeple]

dont do that or plane no work

[spark gorge]

the ai hogs all the airports

impossible to not overstack

[glacial steeple]

upgrade it and move planes away

[spark gorge]

max level

[glacial steeple]

you do not need that many transports

[dusty sandal]

50 per div assigned to a same order
you have 9
that makes 450transports required

[spark gorge]

if I move airport then I am barely out of range

cant I force out allies from airfield

[spark gorge]

also how much stacked is too stacked

could I get away with just a couple wings over the limit

[dusty sandal]

move the planes that can't reach

you can free up 900 planes from useless transports already

[glacial steeple]

no

[spark gorge]

yeah the issue is france hogs all the airfields and doesnt move their planes at all

they just sit in the airfield taking up all the space

[dusty sandal]

you can still free up 900 planes

do it now

[spark gorge]

done

[static turret]

İs there a way to change the consumer goods hard cap in the game files

[spark gorge]

still 500 over the limit

500 is the number of planes I have

they straight up wont let me airdrop

[dusty sandal]

you say they don't have an airforce

you definitely don't need 1k fighters over the sea

do your transports even have sufficient range ?

[dusty sandal]

also no mission assigned to them. period

[spark gorge]

they have 20 whole wings

with no mission

just hogging up the airfield

[dusty sandal]

go from denmark
if that's your territory, turn off allied supply to make france move out

[spark gorge]

not mine

they hold all the coast

[dusty sandal]

go from france then

[spark gorge]

if I try to doing from my terratory it doesnt meet the range requirement

[dusty sandal]

get newer transports
drop from france

[spark gorge]

france also full

[dusty sandal]

or denmark

build more
or idk, kill france

[spark gorge]

they literaly have ALL their airfields maxed out with planes that have no orders

[dusty sandal]

it's 1956 can't really help if you can't control even 1 state

[spark gorge]

same faction

[dusty sandal]

you need one state you control so you can turn off local supplies

[spark gorge]

would have knocked them out years ago

[dusty sandal]

kick them

[spark gorge]

not leader

[dusty sandal]

who is

[spark gorge]

ussr

[dusty sandal]

then leave faction or something

[spark gorge]

france has been nothing but useless the whole run and I cant do anything about it

[dusty sandal]

like I said, it's 1956

[spark gorge]

I build them like 200 airfields

all of them are full

[dusty sandal]

you either find a place to build new airports
increase your range
or conquer new territories

[dusty sandal]

one you control

[spark gorge]

none of them have orders

[spark gorge]

out of range

[dusty sandal]

so you can turn allied supply off

[spark gorge]

Modern transport doesnt work

[dusty sandal]

then increase range

[spark gorge]

I have the best transport

why wont they just move out of the damn way

[dusty sandal]

then find another way

[dusty sandal]

because it's their airport

and AI has too many planes because it's 11 years past the time limit of the game

9 if you count the end credit of 1947 as the end

but in reality hoi is late game since 1942

[spark gorge]

peak

encircled all of uk

no ports for them either

full encircled

[glacial steeple]

you can make airfields in allies

which he should do everywhere

if he isnt allies then he can revoke air access

[dense kiln]

please remind me, do I need naval superiority on all naval regions between my shore and invasion target ?

[dusty sandal]

yes but you can't cut allied supply in this situation, meaning AI planes won't ever leave

[analog maple]

1944

[analog maple]

Ok

[hexed parcel]

Hey guys quickly hpw can I check encirclement losses through army log

[analog thicket]

Hi, how can i invade a country?

[livid beacon]

How to get less lag in hoi4 multiplayer

[errant chasm]

Ethernet cord/better wifi/close all chrome tabs

[dusty sandal]

and an Host that has good hardware

also, don't expect to 5speed

[analog maple]

how do i get rid of italian east africa?? i took all of his land and he still didnt capitlaute

[gleaming dragon]

i gotta come back to this but i've created your template for infantry (not every stat might be the same cuz i havent researched it all yet) but why is your combat width higher? min is 30.6 and yours 36

I know its late so ill probably hear tmrw✌️

[inner sparrow]

probably bc u have larg unit tactics

[gleaming dragon]

OHHH i totatlly forgot abt that

should i keep this or add infantry

[inner sparrow]

add till 36

[gleaming dragon]

alrr

[inner sparrow]

also u need logis

not having logis with this is death

[gleaming dragon]

yea true but what do i replace it with

[inner sparrow]

flame, engi or field

or arti

[gleaming dragon]

i was more thinking about anti air maybe

[inner sparrow]

no

aa is important unless u have green air

[uncut drum]

@gleaming dragon dont listen to @inner sparrow he's a noob

[inner sparrow]

very real

[gleaming dragon]

Ehm

[uncut drum]

noob romania

[gleaming dragon]

so what do i do

[uncut drum]

retire already

[gleaming dragon]

😭

[uncut drum]

unc

[inner sparrow]

do u have red air or green?

[inner sparrow]

my italy when it comes to italy last game

gg

[gleaming dragon]

ehh... most of the times green

[uncut drum]

this HAS to be ragebait

160 on air

[inner sparrow]

whats most of the tume green

[uncut drum]

30 air per day

[gleaming dragon]

not in a war rn

[inner sparrow]

u got breast fed by katjo entire game

like a little baby boy

[uncut drum]

https://tenor.com/view/arima-kana-arima-kana-yapping-yap-gif-17008337194109585790

[inner sparrow]

are u building an airforce?

[gleaming dragon]

hoi4 beef. First impression🥲

[gleaming dragon]

yea

[inner sparrow]

its just jokes

im in vc with him

[inner sparrow]

then take out aa

[gleaming dragon]

this is current world rn (dont worry im reforming stuff its an absolute mess

[gleaming dragon]

Alr

Btw @inner sparrow do you know a good like "holding the line" or defense kind of infantry template?

[inner sparrow]

16w pure inf

[gleaming dragon]

brother i might have 200 hours but im still clueless on these hoi4 terms

oh wait im dumb

1 sec ima make it

[gleaming dragon]

Like this?

[inner sparrow]

yeh and u dont need full support companies

logi and engi + arty is fine

or aa

[gleaming dragon]

👍

what are the first and last suppert company?

i have no clue and im trying to recreate someones template

[red sundial]

lol sandcastle and super howitzer

[gleaming dragon]

how tf do i make a sandcastle and super howitzer

[red sundial]

Idk just what they look like

I’m pretty sure it’s railway gun and some type of rangers

[inner sparrow]

super heavy howitzer and pioneers

pioneers are from marine special forces tree

[red sundial]

How do you even get super heavy howitzers?

[inner sparrow]

and super heavy howitzer u have to build a landwar facility and do special project

[red sundial]

Gotterdamerung

?

[inner sparrow]

yes

[red sundial]

Is that also how you get flame tanks?

[pearl imp]

What am i doing worng i ahve spent 1 irl hour and i ahvent moved 1 tiel ONLY 3 TIELS BACKWORDS

[inner sparrow]

yes

[thin nebula]

supply

are you using mountaineers?

It would help

[pearl imp]

shiii sory i got the game like an hour and 30 minutes ago how would i

[thin nebula]

Ah welcome to hoi4 then

[pearl imp]

yeah thanks ig it is a steep lerning curve

[thin nebula]

So mountaineers are a type of special forces that get bonuses to attacking in mountains

[jagged hull]

im going to need help

[thin nebula]

If you look at your units you might see one with an icon that vaguely looks like a mountain

[jagged hull]

a lot

[thin nebula]

With what?

[jagged hull]

try to take over britain

please help

[thin nebula]

As germany i assume?

Did you planemaxx or did you navymaxx?

[pearl imp]

yeah but i heard i neede to to recruit them but I can't seem to ?

[red sundial]

I can help you in a hour or 2, if you still need help

[thin nebula]

Check the decomissioned template button

You may have disabled them accidentally

[jagged hull]

give me a good navy plane to destroy british navy

[jagged hull]

no

it was germany but it's no longer

[thin nebula]

If you dont have air superiority no naval bomber is going to do anything

[pearl imp]

Best we just do it tomorrow i'm feeling very sleepy

[thin nebula]

You should have some already

[jagged hull]

i have a massive air but i don't have any navy planes

[pearl imp]

I think they died

ehhhh i will do it tmr

i am very, very sleepy

[jagged hull]

this is what im deling with

[gleaming dragon]

@inner sparrow do you maybe know the best template for mountaneers?

[jagged hull]

@thin nebula

[sacred patrol]

hey so i decided to do something stupid and did hist with germany and went demo, now france is fascist

[thin nebula]

If you dont have to worry, just make some small or medium planes with the best air launched torpedoes you can and set them to the english channel to naval stike and port strike

[jagged hull]

should i fight china or uk

i have the level 3 for torp

[jaunty tiger]

is there a free puppet command i dont wanna manually do the add autonomy thing

[gray solstice]

How the hell do I push 30ish units of a capital?

[thin nebula]

Encircle them and then kill them all

[gray solstice]

I have

They just aren’t dying

Dam soviets

[thin nebula]

They pop when they run out of org when they're encircled

[inner sparrow]

same as for 36w inf

[thin nebula]

use some tanks/cas and they'll go poof

[gleaming dragon]

👍

[inner sparrow]

just all mountaineers instead

[gray solstice]

Yeah ik but their spread in 2 provinces around Petrograd I have green air and loads of cas

But I cant breakthrough their line

[inner sparrow]

if u specifically want to use them in only mountains tho u have to make them 31-32w

[thin nebula]

Do you have supply?

[gleaming dragon]

kinda only in mountains

[gray solstice]

Most of my divs a couple are a bit undersupplied

Like 8 out of the 30 who’s there

[thin nebula]

If you see the supply icon at all on a unit you're not going to win fights

Not unelss your cas crushes them

[gray solstice]

Should I spam supply hubs

[thin nebula]

Or reinforce rail lines if you have a supply hub within a few tiles

[gray solstice]

Alr thanks

[austere roost]

It takes 4 months to build a supply hub at best

[gray solstice]

I have like no tank Tech and it’s 43 it’s my best chance

[austere roost]

if you have cas it should work as well

[gray solstice]

I’ve been trying for like 4 months

They js won’t break

[austere roost]

is the capital encircled?

[gray solstice]

Yeah

[austere roost]

also are all the surrounding units attacking?

sometimes if you don't pay attention most of the units are just standing there

[gray solstice]

I’m pretty sure

[austere roost]

because low supply means low org and ai won't let low org units attack

you need to manually force them to attack

[gray solstice]

I keep right clicking attacking the city

[austere roost]

are they last standing?

[gray solstice]

Some of them

Not all

[austere roost]

that's a problem

[gray solstice]

I’ve got like 30 units trapped there

[austere roost]

you don't need 30 there

like 15 is already a little too much

the rest is just burning supply

[gray solstice]

No I mean enemies

[austere roost]

just a question, are the cas at ground support mission? or did you forget to set the mission and the cas is on air doing nothing

[gray solstice]

It’s definitely doing its mission

My cas is pretty cheap though

[austere roost]

try upgrading rail around moscow

also did you set your armies to motorized supply?

[gray solstice]

It’s Petrograd

[gray solstice]

Nope I’m in to big a deficit

[austere roost]

still you should set it

[gray solstice]

Alr

[austere roost]

so you can whatever trucks you have to give supply

[gray solstice]

I’ll try that in the morning thanks

[austere roost]

yeah np

[glacial steeple]

typically you dont wanna use motorized batallions

they are expensive and give no additional stats to the unit type (other than motorized AT) and are more expensive

[gray solstice]

Should I convert them into mech

[glacial steeple]

use cav or use mech

[sacred patrol]

any advice for taking moscow as germany

[glacial steeple]

move forward, soviets have no good airforce

really as germany you shouldnt be struggling so if you are theres typically a variety of things youre neglecting or doing wrong

[sacred patrol]

well

am demo germany

[glacial steeple]

not much i can tell you without info on your game, and regardless, im off to go read

[sacred patrol]

enjoy, reaching 250 factories in 42 no expansion so

[analog maple]

anyone got a good marine divison?

[oak jasper]

Is there a limit to how much supply a capital city can produce? The Axis decided to funnel something like 80 divisions into Peru, I've taken all of Peru's ports, but their supply penalties aren't as bad as expected.

[austere roost]

35 is the max for a supply hub

[austere roost]

Check pins

[glacial steeple]

non capital*

[gleaming dragon]

Does anyone have a good fighter and / or CAS design for late game (best design)

[austere roost]

i've seen units in encircled capital with the low supply sign, does the default supply hub change when the capital is encircled?

[magic summit]

for the Germany enjoyers, what exactly did your forces look like by 1942??

I feel like I'm a little underpar in a non-historical 1936 start

[carmine lichen]

is there a way to not have the british intervene in indian mughal civil war

[upbeat silo]

when do I get good enough at the game to win a single war

[carmine lichen]

i had taken majority of the vps but then the british came into a port and snaked upwards

[tight vector]

Decent escort?

or should I make a powerful escort?

[austere roost]

You'll want sonars for convoy escort

And everything else can be cheap

[glacial steeple]

capital supply is based on factories owned

and like base

not factories controlled afaik

[austere roost]

but capital encirclements will still suffer the encirclement penalty in combat, right?
