Tanks no faster than your mech

If faster then take the one that gives you 4 break for suspension

[lyric agate]

anyone wanna play?

[late river]

@stuck garnet

[tame shore]

Why is this negative? My country is current Non-Aligned

[late river]

how i see mech velocity

[late river]

bc u non alignede

[tame shore]

But it says likely to accept, so wouldn't that make it higher?

[late river]

likely to accept pressure

they accept your pressure

is like they accept something bad you give to them

like pressure on austria (anschluss) as germany

[tame shore]

Yeah, but it's a negative. Meaning that they aren't wanting to join my faction because I am pressuring them?

That is backwards

[late river]

no

they wont join ur faction bc they accept your pressure

you're harmless to them

[stuck garnet]

Also spgs?

If you want stats do so

[late river]

how much is mech velocity

[stuck garnet]

If you dont want a bunch of soft (which you do)

8-10-12

You can read

I fell aslee0

[late river]

whattt

[tepid umbra]

what

you mean speed?

[tepid umbra]

it changes, but I think it starts out at 6 km/h

[late river]

yes

[tepid umbra]

and goes up to 8

[late river]

this my tank

[tepid umbra]

make it spart

[late river]

wtf is spart

[tepid umbra]

sp artillery

[stuck garnet]

Do improved cannons if you wanna do regular meds

[late river]

never doing spg or artillery

[tepid umbra]

why

[late river]

bc so bored

[tepid umbra]

💔

[stuck garnet]

Then get that arty outta there

[late river]

what arty

[stuck garnet]

Howeitzer

[late river]

then which cannon do i add

[stuck garnet]

Whata your anti tank research

[stuck garnet]

Mediums

[stuck garnet]

Mate

[late river]

Whatr

do i put heavy

[errant chasm]

medium

cannon

[stuck garnet]

Medium

[late river]

tis all i got on medium

[errant chasm]

i think it would still be better to use howi (normal tanks) even in sp. I did this back in 1.16

since ai tanks are garbage

[stuck garnet]

France?

[stuck garnet]

Whats the point

Make spgs

[late river]

germany brother....

[errant chasm]

germany

[errant chasm]

i think you have to research 1939 arty to get medium cannon

[stuck garnet]

Dont call me rhat

[late river]

if we we're brother, i would've dumb or sum

[stuck garnet]

?

[vestal nymph]

brother is a slur now ig lmao

[indigo kraken]

which one is the collaborative government?

[tepid umbra]

none

there's a seperate spy ui

and you have to build a spy network and then do the collaboration government operation

[winter delta]

The one with handshake

[tame shore]

That's diplo pressure

[winter delta]

No its collaborative government

[indigo kraken]

its diplo

[indigo kraken]

ok

ty

[late river]

How do i calcúlate How much tanks i need

Like, if i have one tank divition with 6 tanks, how much tanks do i need for make another one?

[winter delta]

Sure buddy

[late river]

(Just an example, bc i wanna make sure every part of my army has tanks)

[languid trout]

look to the right of your template ui

[late river]

Ok

Thanks

[languid trout]

in the division maker

[indigo kraken]

well for me says diplomatic pressure

idk

maybe i havent build something

[tame shore]

Build an intel network then will appear in this menu (don't have a high enough intel atm). Per go you need 2 operatives to be able to activate it and you need at least 50% intel network

[winter delta]

If you do it the collaborative government option will pop up

[tame shore]

^might not appear also cause I am non-aligned

[indigo kraken]

k

[indigo kraken]

k

[indigo kraken]

oh

im non aligned too

[tame shore]

Not sure on that part though

[indigo kraken]

ok

i will try anyways

[late river]

also Guys

My plan is to make sure i have 6 tanks divition on every general i have

the rest is gonna be infantry

is it a good idea?

bc infantry can hold fronts and tanks can do encirclements and take over infantry easy

[tame shore]

Tbh, against the AI just infantry would be fine too

[late river]

Say that to the 48 divitions Ataccking and defending afrika

They got enclircled so easy so i had to leave afrika

[indigo kraken]

36 width inf?

or space marines?

[tame shore]

18, just 18w with a flame tank, recon ranger, heli log, heli first aid tent, and shovel/armored shovel

[indigo kraken]

heli?

[tame shore]

yeah, the helicopter ones

[indigo kraken]

yea i dont have helicopters

[tame shore]

I normally run 120 of those (maybe 240) and do World Conquest with them all the time

[indigo kraken]

damn

[tame shore]

I have anywhere from 0%-70% attack per terrain (average of 21.667%), up to 30% movement (avg of 18.75%), and up to 35% defence (avg of 17.5%) makes the averages of speed 5.7km/h, attack of 239.4, asnd defence of 677

That is just normal engi not armored angi but tbh it's still really good

[keen hemlock]

what is the med flame tank for

[indigo kraken]

are the helicopters free?

like

there are in a dlc or nah?

because i dont have it

[tame shore]

Pretty sure it's heavy. And tbh just slapped it full of fuel tanks, but mainly for the fort buffs to inf

[tame shore]

Gotterdammerung dlc. But normal versions would work fine too

[indigo kraken]

oh

[tame shore]

I just like the heli more cause they give recon and give better supply usage and trickleback

[tepid umbra]

why helis on the infantry

and why flame tanks

[tepid umbra]

36 is better

you should use 36

although it doesn't matter too much

[tame shore]

For the stats. and heli is better for stats too

[tepid umbra]

36 for offense, 18 for defense for most tiles

[tepid umbra]

but like

that's holding inf

it's shit at attack

you don't need the stats if your inf is so shit it hardly benefits from them

[tame shore]

Nah, I just use that template to hold, attack, basically everything

[tepid umbra]

helis and flame tanks aren't free

[tepid umbra]

use 36 for attacking

it's just better

18 is fine for holding but you only really need logistics and engis on them

[tame shore]

15 is best for attacking, but 18 is best if you do all inf

[tepid umbra]

maybe not even logis

[tepid umbra]

no

that's just wrong

36 is best for attacking on tanks and infantry in most terrains

[tepid umbra]

in some, less is better

[tepid umbra]

how old is ts

[tame shore]

I am doing a template that I just make and use for EVERYTHING. So if you look on the far right the lowest number that is even is 18

[tepid umbra]

why tho

[tame shore]

2 years, from AAT but it hasn't changed since then pretty sure

[tepid umbra]

i'm pretty sure it has

[tame shore]

Cause I am lazy and just want 1 type of div that isn't garry or specialist

[tame shore]

Which dlc?

[tepid umbra]

💔

[tame shore]

Hey, it works. It's only against the AI

[tepid umbra]

yeah but you can just do better

[tame shore]

Give me a better template in which I can use as both a front line holder AND a pusher then

[tepid umbra]

why have 1 million manpower loss when you can have 50k

[tepid umbra]

how about

you

don't use the same

[tepid umbra]

mecha is better

[neat widget]

get howitzer 2 right?

[austere roost]

Mass 120 36w 9 SPG 1 TD 8 mech divisions on the Soviet German border and only lose 500k when you fight +3 germany

[cyan garden]

Man how tf do I win as ottoman in kaiserredux against the cairo axis

Syria somehow always fkn survives a full charge on their 2 tiles with Max 2 divisions

[tame shore]

Can I have a pic of it?

And wdym "+3 germany"?

[arctic stream]

Does anyone have any tips for beating ussr as germany? I can naval invade eukaryotic beat the allies and Allat, but when I try to attack ussr the best i can do is hold the line behind a river with forts

[austere roost]

Strengthen Germany 3 times when you start the game

[austere roost]

Just replace spaa with a TD and add support aa

[cold blaze]

how can i consolidate these units says not a full strength but they are or look to be?

or does that mean them not a full strength

[indigo kraken]

idk

but it does only 111 of soft attack

or something like that

oh

yea is good

nvm

[fast cargo]

got poland, denmark didnt surrender, had anschluss, got czech + slova, attacked yugo, got destroyed by romania and france + brits

[late river]

How u got destroyed by france

its so easy to beat

[fast cargo]

not for me, i dont know what im doing

[late river]

ok here a tip for getting those

start a New game and do this

Choose all your army

[fast cargo]

can you write me the list per dm maybe?

[scenic grail]

Can only consolidate units not at full strength

[scenic grail]

I personally rush mediums with the ussr research treaty focus and make a strong airforce

I’ve been able to sweep the soviets before 42 because the ai couldn’t pierce my tanks

[serene karma]

Watch a yt tutorial

They will tell everything

[fast cargo]

all stuff i watched was so fast paced that i didnt understand anything

[glacial steeple]

why

[late river]

cuz i love you..

[inner mountain]

is this div good enough to hold against germany as poland?

[neat widget]

remove the engineers, add a line aa

also you should choose a doctrine soon

you may also not even want recon either

[inner mountain]

what divisions should i make for pushing königsberg

[neat widget]

probably invest in forest rangers

or if you don't have those, mountaineers

[gleaming anvil]

hey guys, what are a good marine div with amtracs

in sp

[neat widget]

13 amtracs 6 of your spg model

[gleaming anvil]

does amtracs count as marines

like in terms of special forces

[austere roost]

They're at full strength, can't consolidate

[neat widget]

yes

[gleaming anvil]

playing a minor power btw, so if you could recommend a bit cheaper one that would be greatly APPRECIATED

[austere roost]

Build a cheap SPG then

[neat widget]

which minor power?

[gleaming anvil]

holland

[neat widget]

that said, you can just use infantry marines

amtracs in themselves are already expensive

[gleaming anvil]

ye but wanna do mech

cuz cvool

[neat widget]

then do 12/5/2 marines/mech/aa

amtracs cost 6.8 (with 15% cost reduction from marine doctrine) * 50 per battalion = 340 ic per battalion

Making a 36 width division thus will cost 6120 ic at minimum

[gleaming anvil]

and by mech you mean amtracs

[neat widget]

add on support companies and you start getting into the lower end of tank costs

[neat widget]

no

normal mech

3.76 ic with 53% cost reduction (50% from editor, 3% from MIO) * 40 per battalion = 150.4 ic

of course there's 12 marines to increase the amphibious bonus to 50%

[neat widget]

although

to be fair

you could use amtracs here

but why

[fossil dove]

Hi! Is there any way for me to get 70% intel on the germans? They have that MEFO bills thing and I can't get to 70%

[arctic stream]

I also rush mediums and have a few of them by the time im invading Poland, but I still can't beat theough

[fossil dove]

Can anyone help, please?

[glacial steeple]

hi chat

[glacial steeple]

decipher, spies

[tepid umbra]

bye chat

[fossil dove]

and you are sure that i can get to 70%?

[glacial steeple]

should? theres also recon planes

[fossil dove]

i play as hungary

[glacial steeple]

what do you need intel for

[fossil dove]

I watched a video made by Pravus and i saw that he kept the Sudenland even if it was on historical mod

[glacial steeple]

you can also just

rush annexing czechs

make mils all game and beat up germany by having an actual army out

germany is easier to kill earlier on

[fossil dove]

well the only option that i see is puppeting everyone

there is a focus in wich you get war goals, but i don't really have an army

[glacial steeple]

why not annex, you get cores no

[fossil dove]

what?

[glacial steeple]

their armies are also bad?

[fossil dove]

well yes

[glacial steeple]

you core all of austria hungary yes

your army only needs to be able to beat its opponents, you dont have to make it for anything else

first you want to annex and core austria and czechs, then you want an army capable of fighting germany which is not usually too hard

[fossil dove]

so it is possible as Austria to beat the germans, or are we still talking about hungary>

?

[glacial steeple]

the ai uses small divisions with low attack stats, large infantry/mountaineers under good generals (austria has them but hungary doesnt) with AA is typically more than enough

[glacial steeple]

both are possible, austria is probably easier

[fossil dove]

ok, i have not tried with austria before, thinking that with the aunchluss and sudenland demnad it's very hard

thnaks for the help

and one more thing

what do you mean with small and large infatry? How small and big?

[glacial steeple]

how is it hard? they will schluss eventually but you have bohme

a very good general

[glacial steeple]

like 32 width, if you get combat width reductions youd fit more in

but as large as you can afford while trying to have 2-3 per tile that you are holding

if its below that*

[fossil dove]

should i go for the mass assault doctrine than?

[formal kraken]

Is there a reason why my ships don’t follow my soldiers to a naval invasion when I have them selected to do so?

They were in the sea zone and were set to strike force before when I switch them over and watched them not going over to the port the naval invasion is prepped to happen

[fossil dove]

can i try 18 width?

i see that they are pretty good

[glacial steeple]

its a bit small, small units deal less damage and take more losses

you are relying on infantry

[formal kraken]

18 widths are meant for like holding the line

[glacial steeple]

i mean having org can be good, but i think reduced losses and increased damage from higher hp/more batallions are more valuable in sp

[fossil dove]

wait, you mean 32 width for attacking or defending?

[glacial steeple]

both

[fossil dove]

as a rule in general or just Austria?

[formal kraken]

Infantry can always attack and defend cause of the large amount of organization and hp they have

[glacial steeple]

general but austria doesnt really get the time for offensive units

which is fine

annexing early is usually always better

[fossil dove]

ok, i am not that good at combat stats. Why is 32 better than 18, most youtubers say 14, 16 and 18 are the best for infantry

[glacial steeple]

they are good for defense

your org is how long a battle can last, smaller units get more org in battle

org however isnt an offensive stat

your crit damage is when attacks exceed breakthrough/defense on a single targetted unit, dealing more damage

if you have many units theyll target many enemies, making it so they get crit less

and due to stat losses being per 10% of strenght (hp and equipment) lost, having higher hp means you deal more damage as it takes longer for the stst loss to go into effect, you also get individually crit less due to higher defense on singular unit

theres also a free org button with last stand/force attack so even if you do get deorged you can just click that

and your unit wont evaporate since it has high hp and can survive very long

[austere roost]

Unfortunately most ytbers are bad at the game

[glacial steeple]

so while you can go for small units, and it can be better defensively, if you are looking to minimize casualties its pretty bad

[fossil dove]

ok, should i as Austria, mix 32 and 18 infantry?

i don't think i will have tghe manpowwer to have only 32

[glacial steeple]

no, you are looking to minimize battle time so theres less enemy CAS

[fossil dove]

i build AA

for CAs

[glacial steeple]

and are looking to minimize manpower and equipment losses

yes but you want short battles

[fossil dove]

so only 32?

[glacial steeple]

the first 4 hours of any battle, CAS cant join

the shorter every individual battle is, the more this adds up

[fossil dove]

wdym adds up?

[languid trout]

people will mass produce infantry divs but not attack divs

[fossil dove]

i usally use special forces and the medium tanks division for offensive

[languid trout]

18 width or less means u can make 2 of ur own divs fight at the same time and still perform well

(in most cases)

[glacial steeple]

also with large divisions the support companies are more affordable

[languid trout]

but u usually will not be producing as much attack divs as much as u will be producing infantry divs/frontline divs

[glacial steeple]

and more impactful

[languid trout]

thats why

[fossil dove]

so, as austria, should i use only 32 width?

[languid trout]

u know how combat width works?

[languid trout]

not only

[fossil dove]

yes...

[languid trout]

use it for attack divs

or u could go 36 width if u can

because ur austria

[glacial steeple]

i would do only

[glacial steeple]

bad in urban and mountains

[languid trout]

oh right

[languid trout]

hes going habsburg?

or danubian?

[fossil dove]

habsburg

[glacial steeple]

doesnt matter but yes

i would do only 32 because it crits more, works in every terrain, and you can affordibly add things like engineers to it

[fossil dove]

in general?

[glacial steeple]

uh as minor nations with no ability to afford heavy defensive losses

and armies of only inf

[fossil dove]

i am not that good at combet stats so I am sorry if i ask to may questions

[languid trout]

idk if he can afford that much 32 width divs as a bigger austria quickly enough to defend against germany

unless hes in nonhist

[glacial steeple]

its the same cost?

less in support

[languid trout]

no like

[glacial steeple]

unless you have 1 div per tile

[languid trout]

equipped enough to be able to defend

[languid trout]

yeah thats why

im not sure if he can afford all that by 1938 or 1939

[glacial steeple]

if you have 1 div per tile youre holding too much

even ai will break that

[languid trout]

fair

i wouldnt abandon the sudeten though

[fossil dove]

so, 32 width is the better aproach?

as a difence unit i mean

[glacial steeple]

imo it would be

[fossil dove]

so let me see if i understand. 18 is good for difence if you have lots of guns and manpower, but i32 if you don't

[glacial steeple]

kind of yes

[fossil dove]

ok, thanks you

[glacial steeple]

more org will let you defend longer but at higher losses due to smaller units

[indigo sapphire]

hello casey

[fossil dove]

but why do smaller units have higher losses?

[languid trout]

they have lower hp

[fossil dove]

aaaaaaaaaa...

ok, thanks for the help

[indigo sapphire]

@glacial steeple

[glacial steeple]

hiya

[indigo sapphire]

how big of a navy should i build as germany

[glacial steeple]

idk?

[indigo sapphire]

damn

alr

[glacial steeple]

you should make ships with the resources you have but it should be an afterthought

[indigo sapphire]

alr

how much territory and lands should i take and annex as germany

@glacial steeple

[heady hemlock]

i wanna do the anschuss but idk what to do to meet the requirements

[dusty sandal]

Means you gotta have this much men and guns present in the divisions deployed

[heady hemlock]

so train em and deploy em

[grizzled basin]

HOW do you even win as the roc on historical mode 😰

[dusty sandal]

The roc ?

You mean china or prc ?

[grizzled basin]

republic of china

👀

the blue one

they keep breaking my defenses at the yellow river 😡

[idle pecan]

How to unlock camelry template?

for Italy

[flat hound]

I need help getting Victoria in power

[jolly musk]

dismantle the army before you do revive the kaisser reich

then do the anglo german pact

then do the return of english titles

after that you will get an event

pick the option on the top

and like that you gain victoria as the leader

and you also get the secret focus for the holy roman empire

[finite arrow]

Is there something i should try to upgrade? (im netherlands year 1939) Planning to hold against germany

[glacial steeple]

what are we doing

whats the logic

[versed rose]

How is it so big with such little stats

Do people just not research guns or design real tanks

[jolly musk]

can someone teach me how to play naval properly?

i cant ever conqueror the uk

[uncut narwhal]

its light tanks and at in there

what do you expect

[royal juniper]

bro what.

[royal juniper]

...wtf

[royal juniper]

il help

[finite arrow]

nvm its jover im being mauled

[royal juniper]

just build naval bombers and good ones'

[uncut narwhal]

yea your divisions are kinda horrible

[jolly musk]

my main problem is that idk how to use them

[royal juniper]

.yeah I think you gotta restart

[jolly musk]

even if i take the italian french and german navy

[uncut narwhal]

what country are you?

[jolly musk]

its just that i dont know how to operate it

[jolly musk]

HRE

[uncut narwhal]

and you have a big navy? put in on patrol in the channel

if your fleet is too small

get naval bombers

[jolly musk]

dude

[uncut narwhal]

put them in the channel

[jolly musk]

my navy is bigger than the usa and uk combined

i literally just dont know how to utilize it

[uncut narwhal]

then put all submarines in an extra group and the other stuff on patrol in the channel

[jolly musk]

ive got a shit ton of ships and stuff but i cant figure out how to naval invade

[uncut narwhal]

ships on patrol to get dominance

plan the naval invasion

thats it

[jolly musk]

yeah but when i launch the plan it doesnt start

my divisions just sit on their ass in the port

[uncut narwhal]

hover over it and it tells you why

[jolly musk]

alright

[finite arrow]

What kind of Div should i run if my last one was flaming garbage?

[uncut narwhal]

just get 18w and remove the anti tank support

[finite arrow]

whats 18w

[uncut narwhal]

9 battalions of infantry

also

if your new dont play the netherlands

play a nation like germany

[finite arrow]

Would but i got "challenged" and i think im getting the hang of it kinda

[royal juniper]

exactly

BTW

make sure u build naval bombers in early 1939

so u can destory submarines early and stop convey raiding

[grizzled basin]

🧐 i ask again

how does one manage to

hold off the japanese long enough

as the roc

[glacial steeple]

yes

that will happen with such an army

that is not good defensively, not good offensively

and has very little stats for either

[glacial steeple]

use army, retreat

[finite arrow]

i hopefully learnt from my mistakes

[glacial steeple]

make artillery for support

gun deficit is not fixable

gun 0/1 are bad

artillery stat better per IC

once at 39 gun, guns are good

[grizzled basin]

should i prioritize holding the ports or the yellow river

🧐 because the japanese keep launching these

bitchass naval invasions

[uncut narwhal]

is the multi-role aircraft designer better than the general one?

[glacial steeple]

anything is better than generic air MIO

[proud rover]

Hhey im completely new to the game and i need a bit of help

if someone can teach me

[grizzled basin]

🧐

[coral glacier]

hi is this game worth getting?

[stuck garnet]

Mf just dont call me things i dont want to be called

Do a similar version

Or look again

Since some version aren’t in order

[hexed parcel]

Hey guys, I am using this template as UK in a historical against Germany, but I struggle a bit against them. They have less infantry than me, and just one of each cannon type in their division, but I need like 2-3 divisions of mine to push 1 of theirs. Can someone tell me what I'm doing wrong? (Im not an expert of templates). Also I struggle with air control in case its only that thing that drags me down so much

[toxic plaza]

if they allow me to enter their lands why cant i make front line along greece?

[uncut narwhal]

take out the recon and field logistics company and only leave in 9 battalions of infantry

[hexed parcel]

why only 9

[uncut narwhal]

cause of combat width

[hexed parcel]

[violet maple]

guys how does garrisoning work?

do i need to put my troops somewhere or something

to get no resistence

[indigo sapphire]

should i go up against other navies since i have WAY MORE Ships

[toxic plaza]

why my untis wont attack/

[brazen panther]

yo, i just betrayed italians as germany and idk whether to give this to the german raj or form several puppet states, what do i do?

[dusty sandal]

italy must be at war with greece if you want to attack from italian lands

[toxic plaza]

yeah ok

right

[brazen panther]

yo can u help me rq

[dusty sandal]

if the question is the above post, I can't help you

[brazen panther]

[opaque token]

Should I send this to bittersteel?

[indigo sapphire]

i have the latest models

[toxic plaza]

this will be added automatically to all tanks?

[indigo sapphire]

6500

[toxic plaza]

if i develop it right now

[tight vigil]

youre gonna win this

[toxic plaza]

or they will need to be "updated"?

[tight vigil]

no

manually

[indigo sapphire]

bruh i posted my pic photo in #hoi4-general

[toxic plaza]

how i can now add it manually?

@tight vigil

[loud gazelle]

hello as a player who has been playing 1 year and still not knowing what template to use for infantry line holders and puishers can anyone tell me?

[verbal gate]

is there any way for intercep misiles, like nueclear or normal misiles?

[toxic plaza]

any1?

[torn sonnet]

Guys as America should I go neutrality act or limited intervention

[tight vigil]

tank designer

[toxic plaza]

where is it?

[tight vigil]

3 by 3 always works

[loud gazelle]

okay

[tight vigil]

go to the tank production menu, click to edit it, and there you can add it

[tight vigil]

depends. What path are you going?

[toxic plaza]

ok found it

[torn sonnet]

getting ready for ww2

[toxic plaza]

but these tanks will need to be updated now by factories?

[tight vigil]

but what political path are you doing? If youre doing historical democratic, go neutrality act

then arsenal of democracy

[tight vigil]

yes

or you just leave them and produce new ones

[toxic plaza]

but where to check how long now to wait for updated tanks?

i wont produce new ones, waste of time

wanna old upgarded

[tight vigil]

I dont think if you can see that

but there is this small button and when you press it the tanks start to be converted and dont cost any resources

[dusty sandal]

9inf, support arty, support AA
that's to hold or push if you have numerical superiority+CAS

[loud gazelle]

oh yeah why istn this working

[verbal gate]

is there any way for intercep misiles, like nueclear or normal misiles?

[dusty sandal]

top check is why

[dusty sandal]

prevent the raid

hover over the success chance, read the tooltip, do what it says

[loud gazelle]

some how i justr dont understand why that is not working

i did the subjucate path

[toxic plaza]

why onyl 1 daily?

[dusty sandal]

this is awful design

[toxic plaza]

what is awful?

[loud gazelle]

what does that mean?

[dusty sandal]

the design, its cost, its stats

[tight vigil]

no

[dusty sandal]

autogun is good, cost is extremely high, armor is not useful, turret should be 3man turret and engine should be diesel or gasoline

[tight vigil]

ive seen so much worse

[toxic plaza]

@dusty sandalok i will load save and tell me what to do

[keen hemlock]

You alr pressed an on map decision

I assume

[loud gazelle]

nope

[dusty sandal]

#ask-for-help-here message
you are doing a decision ofr it already

[toxic plaza]

this is what autosuggest told me

but damn, how to hell I can know that all tanks are uprgaded?

wanna finally star war with good tanks

[dusty sandal]

autosuggest is abysmal dogshit ngl

use the base suspecnsion

[keen hemlock]

Bogie does give way more speed

[toxic plaza]

it does not change

[loud gazelle]

why cant i do it then

[dusty sandal]

also, as soon as mid 1937, stop producing light tanks
mediums are way better

[dusty sandal]

produce more

[crystal torrent]

Anyone can ask me why there is moderate on my Anschluss ?

[keen hemlock]

You need a big enough army

[dusty sandal]

fully equipped
100% equipment on all divs

[keen hemlock]

Yes

[dusty sandal]

if it's not 100%, the div doesn't count for the quota

[crystal torrent]

Yes I got that but just still saying moderate

[keen hemlock]

Iirc you need like 10 at the start, wait for them to be full equipped, then you can do it

[crystal torrent]

10 what?

[keen hemlock]

Infantry divisions

[crystal torrent]

Just the native divisions?

[keen hemlock]

Yeah

[crystal torrent]

Just then fully eqquiped ez

Thanks

[keen hemlock]

But this is only at the start of the game

As it goes on you will need more and more

[keen hemlock]

10 more infantry divisions

[crystal torrent]

So how long do I got till u need more

[keen hemlock]

It depends on the ai

Idk how the Austrian ai recruits divs

[crystal torrent]

Does it need to be fully trained aswell

[keen hemlock]

They just need to be fully equipped

[toxic plaza]

it says that every factory will upgrade almost 3.5 tanks every week

and there are 54 factories

[dusty sandal]

this armor module must go, 3man turret, secondary HMG, no canon

[toxic plaza]

so 27 units daily?

[dusty sandal]

tyhat's not how it works

[toxic plaza]

so hwo can i know when tnaks are upgarded as i want

?

[dusty sandal]

don't convert

produce more

it takes time for production efficiency to build up

[toxic plaza]

too late i upgarded

otehriwse war with Poladn took very long

[dusty sandal]

I'm almost certain it's not because of the design

[dusty sandal]

stop fielding more

[toxic plaza]

probably yes, but i need to learn game

why dont they upgrade units?

[dusty sandal]

if you have deficit = no more training troops that use it

[dusty sandal]

because you don't have stockipile of the new tank

don't mind this

important is stockpile being full

[keen hemlock]

Stockpiles are how you fight wars

Whenever I do barb I always put more factories on the basics

[toxic plaza]

seems started working

but upgradins is same fast as producing new ones lol

[glacial steeple]

yes?

youre not magically getting more

you can convert tank to have different modules if you want

[left glacier]

Upgrading is good when you already have a large stockpile of them

[indigo sapphire]

should i take over and annex norway and denmark

as Estonia

[toxic plaza]

@glacial steeplebut it is very not realistic

producing 25 daily

and upgrading ready tanks 25 daily

lol

[glacial steeple]

production in game is way higher than irl, but also your tanks are bad in game stats

[toxic plaza]

look now

[foggy junco]

so in terms of like. a naval invasion in which its literally not possible to invade and win. how do you cap that island? like theres easily 100 something divs on this island. and its 1 tile for landing. thats it. so what do i do

[dusty sandal]

...

[cyan garden]

how do i make ahmed iv leader in kaiserredux?

[dusty sandal]

three-man turret
autocanon
radio and extra mg is good
the two last modules, replace them for one "extra ammo" and one secondary Heavy MG

[left glacier]

Dedicated armored amphibous. Amphibious tanks and amtracks for less naval invasion penalty

[foggy junco]

ok i have that

well not dedicated persay. but idk

[left glacier]

Yeah... You need pioneers, replace your foot marines with amtracks, remove the line artillery and increase amphibious tank battalion numbers

[keen hemlock]

I’d go to the in game guide section

[foggy junco]

i dont have pioneers. cant unlock marine doctrine for somme reason
i will replace with amtrack. ok

[left glacier]

Signal companies are pretty good at disloging single tile stacking

[keen hemlock]

Or the official discord

[cyan garden]

it doesnt tell

[toxic plaza]

ok, i will upgrade just existing tanks

wanna conquer my country asap

[foggy junco]

this?

[cyan garden]

could u send me the invite pls

[left glacier]

One more thing, the basic amphibious tanks are light tanks. You will need to add Amphibious Drive modules to medium or heavy tanks to make better amphibious tanks

[foggy junco]

ah

[toxic plaza]

now it is ok?

idk english names for them

[toxic plaza]

@dusty sandal

[indigo kraken]

10 soft attack?

and 0 hard?

idk

i think no

[toxic plaza]

this is autosuggest, what i should add to make it best?

[left glacier]

You are really really out of coal

[foggy junco]

yea
no clue how to get more
i have literally all of the western hemisphere under the axis powers barring a bit of the pacific and some countries i didnt bother fighting

[dusty sandal]

#ask-for-help-here message
you're literally not reading what I'm writing

[left glacier]

But yeah. That is a design you would be looking for, although I would upgrade the armor and engine values, easy maintenance for the lower production cost and switch out the additional machine gun for an HMG

[left glacier]

You are probably using it on a lot of convoys

[toxic plaza]

i read but idk polsih names for them

[toxic plaza]

this is how i translated

[violet maple]

why mg and not secondary turret?

[dusty sandal]

read again plz

[toxic plaza]

ok does not matter

how can i upragde existing ones

instead create new?

[dusty sandal]

ok, I'm out I can't do this

[violet maple]

i did

[keen hemlock]

😭

[fathom thistle]

ic cost compared to benefits

mgs are more ic worth while

[dusty sandal]

I literally wrote secondary HMG

[foggy junco]

w ut

[keen hemlock]

-15000 units of coal

[random haven]

hello guys i need help on the UK focus tree idk what path i need to take i want to play historycal

[foggy junco]

ok that island is dead. nuked it and paradropped and that worked

[foggy junco]

yea cause i control the whole western hemisphere as the axis

[keen hemlock]

go left if you want hist

[agile bronze]

can someone explain why im not getting naval supremecy?

[random haven]

okey tysm

[keen hemlock]

wait thats 1974

[agile bronze]

have my ships set to patrol and as you can see over 200 allied ships in the region
0 enemy ships and I have 100% air suppuroity

[keen hemlock]

thats insane

[foggy junco]

working thru the islands

[elfin saffron]

Is making a light AA tank a bad idea?

[austere roost]

yes

use mobile aa if you really want fast non support aa

med spaa was for space marines but space marines are nerfed since piercing mechanics changed

[random haven]

what path do i go for hist 😅

[elfin saffron]

So regular medium tanks coupled with light SPAA is a good combination?

[austere roost]

no

i didn't even say anything that hinted at that

spaa has less aa than mobile aa and space marines is not as useful as it used to be

support aa is enough in most cases

[elfin saffron]

So SPAA is just worse?

[austere roost]

yeah

[dark thistle]

Napoleon is back i guess

[random haven]

what do amphibious tanks do???

[austere roost]

when you think that modern tanks are the worst, you look at amphibious tanks and realize that modern tanks aren't alone

they can't even put on a secondary turret

[random haven]

are they good for UK???

[austere roost]

i just said they're the worst

[cyan garden]

why cant i find tno in my mod librabry on paradox after i downlaoded it?

[dark thistle]

did u restart

[cyan garden]

yes, redownloaded the mod too

[dark thistle]

then idk

[cyan garden]

do they have a discord server?

[brazen panther]

im bout to do germany on regular, should i do elite next or try another country?

[hoary glen]

Home defense for Hist. Now you choose do you want to conquer the US or Germany.

[hoary glen]

Imo always play regular difficulty and try different nations.

[toxic plaza]

where to find no step back?

[civic hare]

how do I fix design is too expensive am tryna build up my navy

[inner sparrow]

unless you’re playing ger in high mp lobbies yes

would also be viable on sov in theory

but for sp its dog

[left glacier]

No step back is part of the main hoi4 soundtrack

[left glacier]

You need navy experience to create designs, so a chief of navy or training your ships will slowly get your navy exp up

[civic hare]

OH its that rather then some random feature idk about

[toxic plaza]

si there any searcher of musics?

[civic hare]

am stupid

[austere roost]

if you don't have man the guns then you can't design ships

[civic hare]

thats part of the main game no

and I do have

[left glacier]

Man the Guns is integrated into base game now

[austere roost]

oh okay so now everyone can design ships

[left glacier]

So Navy designer is a vanilla feature

Yes

[glacial steeple]

it works like old radio

cant timeskip or speed up

gotta scroll to find stuff

[toxic plaza]

what is name for music from no step back?

this russian music

[austere roost]

usually it's the armor and engine that costs a lot of ic, if you have enough screens then your bbs and cvs don't need armor and your light ships might not need the highest level engine because bb and cv will slow down your fleet

unless the engines provide visibility which you might want

[left glacier]

These are some of the soundtracks for No Steb Back
Army of the Braves
Bravery of the Minority
March of the Defenders
Sacred War
Katyusha (pre-order bonus/ Bonus songs pack)

[toxic plaza]

March of the Defenders\

must be it

[austere roost]

But is the speeches pack is still its own dlc?

[left glacier]

Yes

Together for Victory, Death nor Dishonor, Waking the Tiger, Man the Guns are have since been integrated to base game following the release of Trial of Allegiance

[quasi sigil]

just got the game with 0 knowledge anyone want to help me

[wind canyon]

yeah sure what do you need help with?

[quasi sigil]

umm i cant launch the game

[wind canyon]

uh

try unistialing and reinstaling?

[quasi sigil]

alr

[cold bloom]

Welcome, historical AI does neither

I imagine left is more historical and right more interesting to play

[glacial steeple]

for hist youd go decolonize no?

but like wait very long to do it

[cold bloom]

I think part of focuses in both paths are historical

[light knoll]

that's like. way after. and not really by choice

[cold bloom]

but they are obviously mutually exclusive in-game

[random haven]

Oh okey tysm

[glacial steeple]

i think its more hist than left side

left side is all about imperial fed

which didnt happen

[cold bloom]

Historical AI is set to do left

But obv not all the way to imperial fed

[glacial steeple]

yes but imo (opinion) (subjective) it isnt the historical path

[light knoll]

is it

[cold bloom]

the first 3-5 focuses might be

[light knoll]

excluding imperial fed

[glacial steeple]

left side australia cant get cocos and christmas islands cored btw (irrelevant but fun fact)

left side a few things are hist? but if you look at the end of every path it ends up not being hist

[cold bloom]

lategame UK AI is set to invest in commonwealth but thats surely ahistorical as they were pretty bankrupt post-war, part of why they had to decolonize

[glacial steeple]

they did post ww2 according to ai overview (awful source)

[quasi sigil]

i got in to the game and i just want to know the basics like how to start and what do i do

[wind canyon]

i suggest you play the tutorial it misses some stuff but it will let you know the basics

then when u finish with that you can circle back and ask me any more questions

[quasi sigil]

i cant find the tutorial

Nvm i found it

[lime citrus]

I'm back. I'll be in Helping Lounge 1 if anyone wishes to help me.

[graceful zenith]

can you go back to old versions, i want to play a colonizing mod and need 1.14

[foggy junco]

why am i not able to proclaim the new order

[dusty sandal]

one of the states you took in a peace conference is occupied

[foggy junco]

occupied is enemy. or does other axis count

[dusty sandal]

enemy

[foggy junco]

theres no enemy anywhere in europe

[dusty sandal]

why are you only looking for stuff in europe ?

[foggy junco]

cause those are the only ones that matter for that thing?

[dusty sandal]

it's likely a crappy pacific island you took off uk or france

[dusty sandal]

no, owned states matters

[foggy junco]

oh

[dusty sandal]

meaning any state you start with or you took in a peace conference

[upper siren]

Small question about Japan democratic path? Under which conditions will Hirohito support the democrats?

[vague coral]

please help me about this transport shit

before i die infront of my pc

[torpid otter]

if you come to my vc i can prob help ^^

[vague coral]

nah man im sorry im so fried i cant speak

[torpid otter]

hello, does anyone can help me, i have an issue with some modded GUI i made, and i cant figure out what is the issue 😭😭 i've been on it for like 5/6 hours

[torpid otter]

I know whats wrong with the plane

if i'm correct they arent transportation planes

[vague coral]

they are its ok maybe 80 isnt enough

ill just make them i have tons of mils\

[torpid otter]

I think that its because your "squadrons" arent full

[indigo kraken]

#modding

ask there

[vague coral]

yeah maybe, ill just make more, thanks

[hoary glen]

Lmao

[brazen panther]

i just loaded up an earlier save mid game and ohhhh my gosh

[brazen panther]

does reloading a save fix it

[dusty sandal]

read the requirements : 50 transport planes per div on the same order

[hoary glen]

I guess hist AI does home defence as that is the most historical path there is, so they don't even do that part of the tree.

-30% stab just to take Iraq or early war Germany 😅

[glacial steeple]

not about whats better ofc left side is better

[dusky kraken]

im always losing wars because i dont know how to make more troops and planes and some other reasons can someone help me?

[hoary glen]

Right click the game in steam, more options, then select betas, then choose 1.14

[hoary glen]

Wut? Decolonize is better. But calling it historical is so lmao. Like the Brits ever had the intention to lose their empire.

😆

[indigo kraken]

u have to go on the steam library, then right click the game, properties, game versions and betas and then u choose one

[hoary glen]

More troops are in the deployment tab. Choose a template, hit train, then click the button where the unit is training to train multiple. On some infantry just train until the stockpile is empty (that little green bar not 100%).

More planes you train when clicking an Airport and then hit the +

Also you need to build the equipment you are using in your production menu.

[glacial steeple]

is it? no imperial fed

well it wasnt intentional but they did pull out of most regions afaik

[hoary glen]

You can't take any path 1:1. Also Imp fed is clearly an non hist extra.

[hoary glen]

Bc they where forced. Not bc they had a choice

Also post war

Not pre war

[glacial steeple]

oh no i just mean left side has better general buffs, but right side i believe to be more historical of the two

[light knoll]

its not

they did reinforce the empire

it just came crashing down after

[toxic plaza]

why i am losing with Poland?

[hoary glen]

Bro you have 52 Divs total

[hoary glen]

Send screenshots of the Frontline and your templates please

First issue I see tho is you have way to little deployed divisions

[flint fable]

Hey everyone, why am i not getting any ground attack from this design?

[dusty sandal]

it doesn't have much stats

#ask-for-help-here message btw read this

[flint fable]

How so? Does it need a minimum amount of ground attack for it to count?

[toxic plaza]

ok, Poland conquered, can i check somehow how many facotires i got?

[indigo kraken]

from poland?

or in total?

[toxic plaza]

yeah

from Poland only

[indigo kraken]

idk

oh

yea

wait

nah i dont remember

[toxic plaza]

luchopou, your name seems polish

[indigo kraken]

i know there is a stat that shows u how much ur factories have grown

[toxic plaza]

but u espanol?

[indigo kraken]

haha

yea

[dusty sandal]

it has but it doesn't have much

[indigo kraken]

i speak spanish

[dusty sandal]

probably why it doesn't do a lot of damage

[indigo kraken]

im from south america

[flint fable]

ok, ty

[toxic plaza]

luch opou sounds like polish "la resistance"

like this dlc

if someone can't speak "r" polish la resistance would sound like "luch opou"

idk if it is on special

[indigo kraken]

lol

[late river]

@dusty sandal @glacial steeple

W or L?

[dusty sandal]

make it SPG and it's perfect

except it'll lack radio and howitzer upgrade

might need 4 armor tciks for breakthrough as well

also, reli above 100% doesn't do anything

[late river]

but might work agaisnt AI?

(1941)

[late river]

so do i add more engine

?

[toxic plaza]

@indigo krakenu didint know or u made such nick on purpose?

[late river]

know what

he speak spanish

his discord name means " the vagin "

and is other is a normal one

his name is Lucho (luch0-Pou)

[toxic plaza]

amazing

[late river]

so should i add more engine?

[indigo kraken]

its my roblox name

pou because the game

and luch0 because my name

[distant rover]

why wont my troops use the sea to get back to my mainland

they're always trying to use a land route through enemy territory

[late river]

bc they need a naval invade tod othat

[late river]

bc its their own way to get back

u need to do naval to get them back

[dusty sandal]

depends on the speed you want

[toxic plaza]

if divison is like this they wont attack and needs supples?

[late river]

i want to use my tank with mech

so how much speed do i need

[distant rover]

bro I own the waters

[dusty sandal]

depends on the mech you're using

[distant rover]

look

[late river]

then do a naval invation...

[late river]

k

[dusty sandal]

it's 8, 10 and 12km/h depending on the mech date

[late river]

then do a naval invation

[dusty sandal]

create an order
OR
send your divs to a port and then Rclick on the port icon

[distant rover]

what order

[distant rover]

whats an order

[dusty sandal]

frontline, fallback line whatever

and order

like a plan

[distant rover]

ohhh

thanks

[toxic plaza]

i am after 30 horus of gemaplay

and still i udnerstand only basics of basics

facotires, decision, tree

well, how production seems

[dusky kraken]

so that will put me more troops on the ground?

[hoary glen]

Select CAS mission on the icons

[late river]

how to produce good?

like i wanna produce 5 tanks or more per day

(mediums)

[hoary glen]

Replace the Tanks with Infantry and remove the last Column completely. Also deploy 100 more of those. You'll win much more sooner and easier.

[hoary glen]

Political Tab, Occupations, then there is Poland, you can see the total factory count and if you hover that number you see how many of those are you getting.

[late river]

what happens if i seize gold reserves from poland

?

what gold reserves works for?

[hoary glen]

Don't even wait for advanced frame for that. Basic is completely enough and you don't reset your efficiency.

[dusty sandal]

reduces the consumer goods from MEFO bills

[late river]

yeah well i wont produce basic tanks

[late river]

is there a way to gain more production efficiency fast for my tanks production line¿

[dusty sandal]

don't swap production 24/7

[late river]

wdym

its my first tank production line since 1936

[hoary glen]

8 kmh, but anything that's >5 kmh is good enough bc it's quicker than Inf

[dusty sandal]

efficiency takes time to grow
don't shuffle facories around and it'll grow

effi is calculated per factory

[late river]

how much tanks div do i need

around 6 or 8?

[hoary glen]

Yes. Just follow what the game tells you. They need to train a bit first, then you need to choose a point where they spawn. You can also deploy them early, but their XP will be green (-25% stats). You can still train them on the field tho (hotkey: k). Ideally all your troops are trained to regular (bonus attack)

[hoary glen]

Assign more mils to your tanks them, reduce some at other places where you are getting enough

[late river]

lemme send a screenshot of my production

[hoary glen]

You're war economy spirit. You get a worse consumer good factor with every month. Seizing gold reduces that penalty.

[late river]

ill produce tanks

which companys should i ause?

[late river]

Im gonna put Field Hospital, Logistic strike

which one more should i add

also i have this default divition template

[dusty sandal]

guns 1 :(

produce 1940 guns already

[late river]

never

[dusty sandal]

50% more stats than guns 1936

[late river]

ok

do i produce MP38?

[late river]

what should i change

i was thinking on adding logistic company, field hospital and anti air

[uncut narwhal]

take out motorized recon and make them spgs

and make it 38w

[late river]

never making my tanks spf

spg
