Yugo Intel advantage 🥀

[hoary glen]

If you move your mouse over the number it shows you all the modifiers

[proven rain]

bruh why is this game that bad like i can defeat yug with it

this?

[hoary glen]

Game not bad, you're doing something wrong

Yeah

[inner sparrow]

more like confused pigeon vs slightly less confused pigeon

[uncut narwhal]

dont battle plan and attack from multiple sites

[glacial steeple]

[glacial steeple]

elephant:

[proven rain]

bruh yall cant help ong

[uncut narwhal]

i didnt see that when i sent my message

[glacial steeple]

5 minute video

watch it

[proven rain]

i watched it and its still dont say why they defend

and not attack

[hoary glen]

Okay, so first your Divs are untrained, that's -50% damage. Then you're attacking into bad terrain, but that's not so fixable here and lastly it's night and raining. If that rain is over and it's daytime it will be better.

[hoary glen]

Bc the enemy is attacking you too

[proven rain]

so if i train

them i gonna win?

[hoary glen]

You improve the odds of it

But ideally you would also put up your airforce

[proven rain]

ok

[hoary glen]

To give even more positive attack effects

[proven rain]

can u show an good attack temp

[light sail]

guys

whats the command to produce aircraft instant?

[proven rain]

i watched a video and they said this good

[light sail]

is it instant training?

pls anybody knows?

[hoary glen]

Ic

But also rather use ALE

[uncut narwhal]

make your div 18w, so 9 infantry battalions

[proven rain]

and bruh its says nothing

battalions?

[hoary glen]

For early game 9 Inf with support Arty will be enough for Yugo

[light sail]

oohh, but can i just instant produce a specific product?

[proven rain]

why 9?

24 max bruh why not 24

[uncut narwhal]

watch the vid bro

24 is too big

wont fit in the battle

[proven rain]

ok

so

[hoary glen]

Yes, but then you need to enter the specific item name

[uncut narwhal]

battle width is basically how big the battle is

so if your div is too big

only like 2 will go

instead of 8

[proven rain]

whole gamer innd 18?

overal

[light sail]

ahh, cant we use id or somethin

[uncut narwhal]

nah for your normal inf

get 36w offensive units

[hoary glen]

Small is more flexible early on and cheaper XP wise to design. Max size has issues bc of combat width

[uncut narwhal]

mountaineers

i can recommend for italy

[proven rain]

so for overall i need 36 fant

[uncut narwhal]

nah for attack

for defense you want 18

[hoary glen]

You'll need to enter something like airframe_light_2_variant_1 you need to google it, I never use it bc it's so tedious

[proven rain]

can u send temp

[light sail]

okayy, so the easiest is to use ale?

but i need to produce 1 first right?

[uncut narwhal]

yea sure

[hoary glen]

One important thing 1 Inf = 2 Combat width. It's always important to mention what you mean, else it gets confusing

[hoary glen]

You need to have the design

And have it active iirc

[light sail]

no, i mean to use the ale command

[hoary glen]

That what I use for Air tests, yeah. You can just delete other stuff from stockpile or smth.

[uncut narwhal]

like this, you should add medium flame tank company and assault engineers tho

[light sail]

alright thanks mate

[proven rain]

i dont have dlc

[uncut narwhal]

ok then you dont have to add allat

[proven rain]

so mountenier good for italy

[uncut narwhal]

just use the div

[proven rain]

?

[uncut narwhal]

italy cant afford tanks so yea

[proven rain]

so i goona do mounteniers

how much i need

[tiny dawn]

holy shit

are you holding the alps or some shit dude

[uncut narwhal]

see whatever your special forces cap can do

[uncut narwhal]

these are normal mountaineers

wdym

[tiny dawn]

yes i think so

[tiny dawn]

i have never seen a mountaineer division be so full

[proven rain]

i cant affor them

[split stirrup]

possibly dumb question, did they they remove the naval torps being able to be mounted on Medium airframes?

[tiny dawn]

or maybe im playing the game wrong, dont take what i say as a pro

xd

[uncut narwhal]

36w is what you want to use for offense

[uncut narwhal]

how many hours do you have?

[tiny dawn]

too many considering my skill

i think 750ish

[uncut narwhal]

thats not too much

[proven rain]

bruh

[uncut narwhal]

but you should know about combat width

[tiny dawn]

yes i do

[uncut narwhal]

yea as i said

you can up it by getting more inf divs out

[tiny dawn]

to be honest, the first 500 were spent within 4-5 years

and i would mostly cheat

[uncut narwhal]

or divs in general

[tiny dawn]

so i never really learnt it

[uncut narwhal]

makes sense then ig

[proven rain]

what should i do now

[uncut narwhal]

get more divisions out

[split stirrup]

Did they remove Torpedo's from Medium airframe aircraft?
https://gyazo.com/cccf8005337724be1b19dc8526f92e46
https://gyazo.com/57e93ad9fbcc06d006b2084e973e15f9

[proven rain]

then

[uncut narwhal]

then your special forces cap will increase and you can get out your mountaineers

[proven rain]

they can be in one

[uncut narwhal]

yea

[glossy hatch]

whats the best choice for mass mob in the new land doctrine tree?

[uncut narwhal]

do grand battleplan

[glossy hatch]

best doctrine rn ?

[uncut narwhal]

gbp for offense and spf for defense

[proven rain]

yo i still and cantr

[subtle socket]

they removed u being able to make a desginated

[glossy hatch]

and do i pick assault infantry or Great war infantry?

[subtle socket]

medium naval bomber

you can still cheese it by making yhe first slot a bomb/fighter module and putting the torps on the 2-3 module

[uncut narwhal]

assault

[subtle socket]

i like assault for special forces and large unit for regular inf

[glossy hatch]

what are these mastery points and how do i get them

[split stirrup]

Ah, thank you, yeah I don't really feel the need to cheese it, but that explains why I couldn't design it like that anymore

[untold nest]

im trying to get the second naval arms race achievement but i just need a strategy on how i can get naval supremacy

[dusty sandal]

just use a single x2 light MG as first module

no stats

you don't have enough stats

no breakthrough, almost no soft atk

[split stirrup]

I'd rather not cheese it, if its out of the game then no worries, ill just go back to single engine small airframes. I can beat ai regardless.

[glacial steeple]

wdym cheese

its never been available for first slot

[split stirrup]

really??

was it always built off of a heavy fighter design

Maybe I am totally mistaken, I thought I remembered dedicated torp mediums

[glacial steeple]

you can do it in the other slots as shown

[torn musk]

thats freaking me out

who the hell is UNKNOWN

[oak jasper]

Having watched my own fleet inflict it on the AI, I have learned a lesson.

If your own battle line is taking a pounding, retreat your carriers before they face off against 11 battleships with zero screening.

[keen hemlock]

Average ai naval fleet

[subtle socket]

pretty sure it was available

for like a week or so

and then they changed it

[subtle socket]

retreating means death anyway

[glacial steeple]

ok idk about it so im assuming its ultra niche knowledge lol

[subtle socket]

i could be wrong

but i think it was a thing after by blood alone for like a week

[glacial steeple]

thats possible

[subtle socket]

chat

are we fr

[undone raptor]

Wth is that design

Defense turrets? Mg guns?

I mean its a bomber why go for that 1% air attack

Just get yourself some fighters and ur all good

[candid mist]

wasnt this a japanese puppet tho?

[vital plinth]

How strong is the super heavry battle ship ?

[keen hemlock]

they become their puppet thru the japanese focus tree

[keen hemlock]

takes too long to research and build, but its good vs the ai

[dusty sandal]

you can't put a torp on the first module

so you put a light MG instead. Less weight, less cost than bomb bay

the turrets are for air defence, which is useful when enemy const the air or when you port strike*

btw, this is the meta navbomb in MP

[undone raptor]

Air defence is useless if you got good fighters

Your IC is too high

Maybe its "meta" according to you but its not optimal

If I make a tank with max armor, max engine it will also be "better" but that doesnt make it worth the IC

[dusty sandal]

Air defence stat procs in port strike mission against AA

[dusty sandal]

best ic-nav atk ratio you can get btw

also, because of how naval attacks are calculated, it's best to have fewer planes with more nav atk rather than more planes with less in a equivalent nav atk scenario

[undone raptor]

So according to you defence turrets increase naval attack

[dusty sandal]

that doesn't make it meta

[dusty sandal]

no?

defence turret = more air defence for cheap = less losses on port strikes

[undone raptor]

Then your "best ic for naval attack" isny righy

[dusty sandal]

it still is

[undone raptor]

Nope

Remove them and you keep the naval attack

But cheaper

[dusty sandal]

this navbomb has double the nav atk of a light navbomb for 1.6 time the ic

it's 40% more efficient than 2 navbombs

and it has way more range

which is essential against sub spam or in general to not ovverstack airports

[dusty sandal]

more losses during port strikes
also, in MP, the other players will constest your air during major naval engagements

[glacial steeple]

the i-go ko is glazed too much in hoi

its so bad in wt or irl

[subtle thorn]

is there a way to return volunteres they bugged albania ended civil war but they are still

[glacial steeple]

is albania still at war

[oak jasper]

They are returned either when you go to war, or the war they were sent to ends.

[graceful zenith]

if i have multiple battleplans on a field marshal how do i activate only one of them?

[candid mist]

why can't my divisions breach china?

[subtle thorn]

no

it happened now with romania too

damn 7div

[glacial steeple]

like, in any war

[subtle thorn]

nope

my div are just there

they are my allies tho

[candid mist]

what division template should i use as japan against china

[gleaming grove]

What are synthetic ressources? Is that Rubber?

[oak jasper]

For holding the line: your bog standard 9 infantry, support artillery, support AA (though support AA might be optional against China).

For offensives, you can check the pins for a few good designs.

[oak jasper]

Synthetic refineries, i.e. rubber and a bit of fuel.

[subtle thorn]

yes

[oak jasper]

On a very delayed sidenote: thanks for this. The "2x LMG rather than bomb bay" trick frees up a lot of thrust, and I'd for a long time thought it was awkward choosing between short-ranged small bombers without many support modules, and decidedly expensive maritime patrol bombers.

[candid mist]

how much soft attack should i look for?

[oak jasper]

Yes.

(Which is to say: as much as you can without overly compromising on things like breakthrough, HP and organization)

[candid mist]

how much hp org and breakthrough do i need generally

[oak jasper]

1. Check the pins.
2. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1IIjk4bAh68

[glacial steeple]

hp higher is always better

[gleaming grove]

Which path? The descriptions all say the same

[dusty sandal]

light fighters

[gleaming grove]

Does this only work in cavalry units? Or for all units?

[dusty sandal]

for breakthrough 400 flat is enough to basically never get critted by the AI. 300 is bare minimum for tanks
200 is good for assault infantry/special forces
for org, rule is around 30 org for tanks, around 50 for special forces. More is always better but ti's not the priority

[dusty sandal]

this comapny is useless, never use it

[gleaming grove]

thoughts? Only for border defense?

[spiral forge]

way to expensive, I would remove 2 arties, and 1 helmet. and would remove field if you play a minor country

[gleaming grove]

hungary

[feral salmon]

whats the org

[gleaming grove]

37

[spiral forge]

well, then field is fine

[feral salmon]

yeah try getting that up

to like 40

[uncut narwhal]

bro take out the line artillery

[spiral forge]

and I would add signal, as you will fight the USSR, and signal rn is pretty strong

[uncut narwhal]

its bad

[feral salmon]

id remove arty and add 2 inf battalions

that would fix org

[uncut narwhal]

16w is fine for defending

its just the arty thats problematic

[gleaming grove]

like this

[uncut narwhal]

thats a lot better

[gleaming grove]

idk what that is tbh

[uncut narwhal]

signal company is a support company

[spiral forge]

signal company, the one with the radio

very good for fronts like barb

[gleaming grove]

only got these left

[uncut narwhal]

you have to research them

[spiral forge]

you can research it,

[gleaming grove]

this right?

[spiral forge]

yes

[dusty sandal]

don't bother with signal in singleplayer

[dusty sandal]

you don't need anything more than this
the only stuff you could add would be a single infantry battalion and/or logistics company if you're really short on supplies on the front (being in no supply area doesn't count)

[gleaming grove]

getting mixed information here

[dusty sandal]

does the AI has high stats ? No ? then signal isn't useful

[gleaming grove]

🤷‍♂️ idk what signal does

[dusty sandal]

it increases initiative, which means more renforcement rate

[gleaming grove]

mk

Whats a good motorized brigade for early game Blitzkrieg with a smaller country?
8 mech + 2 mobile art, with Logistic, Hospital, AA and Art Support?

[dusty sandal]

there is no good template for it

[oak jasper]

If you mean "division composed primarily of motorized infantry", those are a great source of trucks in the early game when disbanded or converted to more efficient templates.

If you mean "offensive unit", if you can't afford armored divisions, go for special forces infantry, or even just regular infantry in an oversized 36W division.

[dusty sandal]

use cavalry if you need speed

and it would be a 36w full cav

[oak jasper]

i dunno, i've found a use for elite 2w cavalry divisions.

[dusty sandal]

for snaking sure

[oak jasper]

don't make fun of my elite, superbly equipped spearhead divisions.

[bold canopy]

what is more worth when u start playing a game priority to economy or politic if u wanna change into a fascism regime?

[dusty sandal]

as always, depends

[bold canopy]

speaking about small nation like argentina/hungary/greece/ etc

[dusty sandal]

again, it depends on what you want to do

do you want to rush war for example ? or specific focuses ?

[gleaming grove]

Basically i need 2x6 units to do this movement as quickly as possible

[bold canopy]

i normal run so yes for war

[dusty sandal]

when war

and what path does it require

[bold canopy]

argentina -> fascism -> war

[oak jasper]

Unless you wildly overmatch your enemy, usually you don't go for broad-front offensives. You have a bunch of 16-18W infantry divisions hold the front line, then have spearhead(s) of 2-4 36W divisions punch through, seize supply hubs, make encirclements and collapse pockets.

That said, at some point I'll often get lazy, draw a massive offensive order, and have the entire army just advance once the enemy is badly weakened.

I will note that the one time I played UK, I defeated Germany with just three armored divisions doing 99% of the offense (and a bunch of 18W infantry to hold the line).

[gleaming grove]

If i have like 6 of these (3 on each side N/S) to encircle cluj, wouldnt that be pretty fast and easy? Than 2 Big Infatery to capture cluj the capitol

[oak jasper]

Cavalry recon is a waste of equipment (as is most recon). 18W isn't great for the offensive, though if you're early game and/or have a small recruitable pop, you might have to make do.

Field hospital, medium flametanks, assault engineers are all useful support companies if you can get them. I usually also add logistics, though that's a bit less important for cavalry, which isn't nearly as hungry as tanks.

[dusty sandal]

cav recon useless

div too small for hospital to be worth it

engineers required if you push rivers

[safe umbra]

guys im buying the gamr rn since its on sale how do i play like it seems complicated from the vidoes ive seen

[gleaming grove]

welcome to the club

[safe umbra]

hopefully ill like it

since i dont wanna spend 50 dollars for nothing

15 mb

so what country should i start as

[errant chasm]

Usa for allies, Germany for axis

[oak jasper]

I'd maybe suggest either one of the British dominions (Canada, India, Australia etc) or Hungary.

[safe umbra]

i heard germany is complicated as a beginer

[gleaming grove]

wtf why did all my units leave the northern border?

[fathom thistle]

hungary - start small get bigger

[safe umbra]

k then im buying it rnn

[oak jasper]

It can be courtesy of its focus tree+MEFO mechanics.

[safe umbra]

whats that

[fathom thistle]

if you ever play germany in sp just go with prioritze econimic growth

for your mental sake as beginner

[gleaming grove]

nvm guess i got a region gifted north lol

[safe umbra]

ok ty for telling me

[oak jasper]

Each country has a national focus tree. Many just use a generic focus tree, but the majors all have unique trees.

MEFO bills are a special Germany thing. You can sorta sidestep them by going for Prioritize Economic Growth, which slows your early-game expansion and locks you out of a few things, but removes the MEFO mechanics.

[safe umbra]

just bought it cant wait to play it seems very fun

[vital plinth]

If I go communist USA can I go to war with Soviet later on ?

[errant chasm]

Just manually justify on them

[uncut narwhal]

why would going communist stop you?

[oak jasper]

BETTER DEAD THAN... you'd presumably need to justify the wargoal manually instead of by focus, but I don't see why not.

[safe umbra]

[uncut narwhal]

to first one takes you to the launcher

[gleaming grove]

you can skip the launcher if you dont wanna play mods

[obsidian badger]

I annexed a puppet and tried to reorganize the navy

But

[safe umbra]

for now im just lanch games since i just bought it

[obsidian badger]

I removed the taskforce editor thing

And now the ships are in the ether

[gleaming grove]

Would you always put 1 of each aircraft type in a wing?

[dusty sandal]

don't use tac bombers

I mean don't produce theù

use them if you start with them but don't produce any. No point

you only need fighters and CAS. Maybe naval bombers or strat bombers in some specific situations

[gleaming grove]

it told me to produce them 🤷‍♂️

[glacial steeple]

how hebei chahar hold hist

[oak jasper]

The tutorial isn't the greatest, if that's what you're referring to. There's maybe a niche use if the enemy lacks fighters, and your single-engine CAS is out of range, but tac bombers aren't very efficient.

[glacial steeple]

tacs are good for strat bombing

but like thats useless in singleplayer pretty much

why bomb a factory when you can take it

[safe umbra]

bro why is it talking so long just to load the game

[neat widget]

strats aren't better at strat bombing?

[glacial steeple]

not per IC

more engine and all

[oak jasper]

I mean, I've sometimes used tac bombers on strat bombing to try to bait the AI into sending their fighters up, but with some more experience, I'm not sure you need to bait them; just send your own fighters up on air superiority.

[fathom thistle]

what are your specs? If your pc is bad I can give you the whole ritual I do with my potato pc to run it as smooth as possible

[neat widget]

tac 1 does 12 strat for 37 ic, strat 1 does something for around 60 ic but it's definitely more than 24

why did explorer.exe have to crash right now

[safe umbra]

its bad but i joined let me see if run good in game

@fathom thistle i need that ritual man

[vital plinth]

Hey are mother ships great to use ?

[fathom thistle]

okay so, this will be a longer message so bear with me:

[oak jasper]

Mother ships? Unless Kharak is burning, IDK what those are.

[glacial steeple]

they should beat all but supersonics

which is to say rushing supersonics is also better

[safe umbra]

ok

[vital plinth]

As USA I should try get it fast as possible?

Only USA can get motherships?

[glacial steeple]

you can

[vital plinth]

Is it only USA that can get mothership ?

[glacial steeple]

nope

everyone can get motherships and supersonics

[naive verge]

why cant i change the unit models anymore?

[keen hemlock]

Do you have to produce the parasite fighter too

[glacial steeple]

no

[keen hemlock]

Do they have a designer too

[austere roost]

No but you can spend air XP to buff it like you do with mechs and armed support vehicles

It's not really worth it unless you're in sp and don't want to manage air bases

Since maxed out range motherships can cover half the globe

[glacial steeple]

no

[glacial steeple]

hi bhm youre like an sp player

i wanna hold hebei chahar in hist for fun in sp whats a good way to do this

whats the strat

[neat widget]

guy is claiming that smaller wing sizes = more strike efficiency

[austere roost]

Hm idk I haven't played China for a while

[glacial steeple]

well it isnt china

its the warlord state thing

[austere roost]

Maybe check Chinese forums they definitely have an interest

[fathom thistle]

Disable everything in settings except rivers and full resoultion rendering. change resolution to 1366 fulschreen. You will always want to launch the exe file in directory so steam doesnt consume any of your ram (you can launch from steam just to get updated your achievements). Download driveer booster and memory reduct (both free) restart your pc. Start with launching memory red and clear your ram (go in settings and turn the auto cleaning ram after 96% of ram usage. You can exit that now. Go to driver booster and turn the turbo mode on, exit it. Now launch hoi 4 exe from directory. Once the menu is loaded go to task manager, click hoi4 go to details, change priortiy to high, exit task manager and go back to hoi4. Before you start your actual game (iron mode to get achievements) start a random game without achievements so you can acces console, type: debug_smooth. You can exit that playhtrough and go back to your main one with iron mode since this command stays until you leave the whole game.

[austere roost]

Tbh when I play hoi4 I buff Japan to +4 so I can ignore China

[gleaming grove]

nah it says im not producing a unit, so i checked and it said tactical bombers 88 missing

[austere roost]

And let Japan go all in with UK and usa

[glacial steeple]

whats the lowest resolution actually

[gleaming grove]

even here it does

[fathom thistle]

there are lower but 1366 is the lowest one without your eyes hurting

[oak jasper]

That means you started with tactical bombers somewhere and not every wing is full. You can condense wings to bring them up to full strength, and/or delete the wings.

[fathom thistle]

there is like 800x600 i think

[glacial steeple]

im gonna check out low res high graphics hoi

[fathom thistle]

interesting combo for sure

[safe umbra]

how do i do the "game without achivments so you can get in accses console"

[glacial steeple]

oh this is tech

i only have 1 monitor so i can play hoi4 with a part of my screen

[fathom thistle]

just uncheck iron mode

[safe umbra]

all this for just to play hoi4 for on a ass laptop

this iss gona be hell

[fathom thistle]

twin

[glacial steeple]

i wish i could make hoi smaller and not tab out of the game when i click something else

[gleaming grove]

havent looked into airforce yet thats the next step

[safe umbra]

@fathom thistle i think im jsut gonna refund it and when i get a pc get it again

[fathom thistle]

I wouldnt refund just bcs that price was 70% off

thats like the best deal u get even in future probably

[glacial steeple]

depends on inflation of the EUR

[fathom thistle]

but I feel ya

[safe umbra]

so thats rare?

[fathom thistle]

kinda yeah

[glacial steeple]

a few times a year but like EUR is getting stronger compared to most other currencies afaik

so the price will go up

because PDX sells in EUR

[crisp ledge]

Hello! I picked up Hearts of Iron 4 during the recent sale, and I was hoping for some advice. I'm a fairly strong Stellaris player, but that has a more or less tabula rasa start, and I'm aware Hearts of Iron 4 doesn't have that. Which nation would you advise playing for a new player learning the ropes?
I've heard good things about Mexico, Italy, and Nationalist Spain for a player just starting out. Is this accurate, or was I misled?

[obsidian badger]

wow more new players

uuhh what playstyles of stellaris u like

ive played a but a while back

i can see what probably has parallels

[fathom thistle]

Probsbly the worst for starters. If you want to start big go Germany if small go Hungary.

[glacial steeple]

any nation that allows you to keep a good overview of your factories and assets and whatnot

[obsidian badger]

Spain is probably the worst starter mid nation

[glacial steeple]

it doesnt really matter but germany doesnt typically teach a lot because its broken

and you have to do a variety of things wrong to see your failures

[crisp ledge]

Well, I'm not much of a warlord in Stellaris - I can handle an economy no sweat, but I need a bit to come up with ship designs.

[glacial steeple]

which at that point theres many

[obsidian badger]

Bro sounds american

[half glade]

which of these is most sensible

considering im pretty weak

[glacial steeple]

theyre not exclusive

go for weakest first

[obsidian badger]

Iraq i guess?

[glacial steeple]

guaranteed

war with uk

[obsidian badger]

turkey has 15 quintillion guarantees

[half glade]

no?

[glacial steeple]

tho uk shouldnt have a good time invading you

[half glade]

they have romania

i could try joining axis

[obsidian badger]

Oh

[half glade]

first

[obsidian badger]

Its early game

[glacial steeple]

turkiye isnt too hard

[obsidian badger]

Then get turkey honestly

Because they WILL get guaranteed

By both uk and germany

[neat widget]

only after 1939

or rather 1939 and after

you just got to finish off both Turkey and Romania by September 1939

[obsidian badger]

I like playing greece and get flashbacks of guarantee timing

[neat widget]

because you don't want Romania to get friendly with Germany

[half glade]

im getting friendly with germany

[crisp ledge]

Well, in that case, following up on that I read that there are two primary paths for America - either return to the gold standard or expand the New Deal. I've heard the gold standard path is generally the route to a stronger economy, is this accurate?

[neat widget]

might even be useful to promote ideology to suppress Romania turning towards a pro-Germany party

[crisp ledge]

I'm sorry for all the questions, just trying to get my feet under me.

[half glade]

my problem is supplies

literally nothing on turkey iran border

[neat widget]

what does the map look like right now

[glacial steeple]

cant you stage coup since theyre not non aligned?

[obsidian badger]

Eehh, new deal is better economically

[glacial steeple]

and low stab due to war

[obsidian badger]

But gold standard is better for expansion

If you wanna learn fighting more go gold standard so you can go fascist and stuff

If you wanna sit back do historical

[pliant condor]

it does

in a sense

[faint dirge]

hey guys, whats up?

[pliant condor]

but unlike stellaris what you do might not have an immediate response

[neat widget]

the original romania would still join the axis in that case i think

[obsidian badger]

I mean if you arent careful you can get civil wars lol

[tiny dawn]

for germany, is it important to have a sort of intervention force for d-day , or to just deny dday as a whole?

[obsidian badger]

usa is not that hard to avoid civil war tho

[neat widget]

rush for either Erzurum, Kars, or Malatya, and then start building railroads immediately

also you may have to build a supply hub anyhow

[pliant condor]

if you just put some infantry on the coastline there should never be a dday

or have 200 subs in the channel

[tiny dawn]

no i have a good division and i get ddayed

ok i dont have 200 subs toh

[faint dirge]

How do you assign air wings to escort army groups / war theaters?

[tiny dawn]

above the general

[glacial steeple]

but you could send troops to make them lose civwar

[tiny dawn]

there is a wing

press

after pressing on airwing

[obsidian badger]

Do you wanna bait the allies or just not have any landings overall

[tiny dawn]

non-lethal landings

lets say that

[neat widget]

yeah you could tbh, but you could also defeat Romania before september 1939 through normal means too

[tiny dawn]

my idea was like guderain or rommel with a few tanks and some AA to ensure safety, forts on airbases

[neat widget]

you are fighting turkey, which means you get their navy

[tiny dawn]

i have no clue why they no matter what land

[neat widget]

also that's probably too few troops

[tiny dawn]

or can i prevent this

[neat widget]

Turkey starts out with 30+ divisions

[tiny dawn]

yes

turkey is a pretty strong start nation

[obsidian badger]

Leave a port or two open but have everything else garrisonned

Have 1-2 tank divisions standby in france to end landings

Dunkerque and le havre are good because you can attack from 4 sides

[tiny dawn]

good idea

i like this thank you

oh my garrison is the wrong division

omg

wtf

[obsidian badger]

Thats fine

Honestly

[glacial steeple]

???

its so bad

[obsidian badger]

Remove mp

[tiny dawn]

this was cavalry before i dont know what i did i think i duplicated the wrong one

was supposed to be resistance

[glacial steeple]

why does it have shovel

[tiny dawn]

i think so too but i had the wrong one in mind xD

[tiny dawn]

idk probably by mistake mixed and matched

[obsidian badger]

What?? Entrenchment bro shovels are the most essential

[tiny dawn]

but the coastal garrisons will have shovels

these arel ike

crucial

[neat widget]

ideally you'd be using mountaineers

[obsidian badger]

Ideally youd be using mechanized as port guard

Lol

[tiny dawn]

hmm true

what about anti air and such?

is this good for coastal defence

for d-day especially

[obsidian badger]

depends, do you have an air force and do you have enough industry

likely ddays will be a surprise and you need to scramble your air force

If thats the case

[tiny dawn]

hm i mean in this run i dont think so, would take too long to readjust

[obsidian badger]

Get support aa

[neat widget]

you're not you don't have the range for an air force

like you can't even get planes into anatolia

[tiny dawn]

what really bothers me is this raid bullshit

i dont understand why i would care if the french bomb their own facility im not using

[obsidian badger]

Other dure

Dude

Your me talking to idio somebody

[neat widget]

yeah anti-air is good for d-day

[obsidian badger]

Youre talking*
Autocorrect

[tiny dawn]

i see

welp this game is over anyways bc italy got invaded

[neat widget]

you're absolutely right i was talking to someone else

but yeah for coastal defense mech is good

[obsidian badger]

Stupid expensive

[tiny dawn]

i also cant push the soviets

once again no clue why

[obsidian badger]

Um well

is it perhaps winter?

[neat widget]

the expense is worth it, plus you should have like 400 factories anyways so it's a modest one at best

[tiny dawn]

yes but i started pushing in around july

i did some progress, but it stalled quick

i think my tank is good other than the fact its not mechanized

[neat widget]

what does it look like?

[obsidian badger]

Space marines are probably more ic efficient

[tiny dawn]

this is it

idk if the support companies are good for a tank divsion

[neat widget]

there's a lot of issues here

[errant chasm]

I always just use normal infantry for coastal garrisons.

[obsidian badger]

to me it isnt trash

[obsidian badger]

I just use puppet shitter divisions

And call it a day

[tiny dawn]

what is the issues

thats why i was thinkin like

[neat widget]

low attack stats, low organization, bad support companies

[tiny dawn]

dude why can i say ass and shit but not the f word its kind of sad bc i often mix them

[obsidian badger]

From what i see

[tiny dawn]

low attack stats because of my tank design, or the division?

[obsidian badger]

The largest issue is hard attack

You have too much hard attack

Get artillery cannons

[errant chasm]

Wait does outlet have the nsb dlc?

[obsidian badger]

Oh good question

[neat widget]

probably because of tank design

[errant chasm]

As playing hoi4 without dlc is like playing a different game imao

[dusty sandal]

it's much harder

[neat widget]

in singleplayer most divisions are soft

below ~60% hardness

[dusty sandal]

AI isn't as bad because there's no magically abysmal design

[glacial steeple]

yea

[glacial steeple]

theres still MEVs and generals

but way less bloat

itd be fun to play base game if you kept the focus trees so the ai does stuff </3

[obsidian badger]

Just get mods ig

Idk

[errant chasm]

Do you have no step back? @tiny dawn

[glacial steeple]

they just rebloat the game

[obsidian badger]

Focus mods

[tiny dawn]

yes i do i think

yes i do

i dont have graveyard of empires only

[errant chasm]

Okay if you have nsb go to the tank designer and make an artillery tank

[glacial steeple]

theyre usually bloated af

[devout widget]

how do I get more supplies?

[neat widget]

motorize supply

[tiny dawn]

good idea

[tiny dawn]

i do this, this is really good

[devout widget]

uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, I don't know what that is. Im new to the game.

[tiny dawn]

press on the supply hub and press on the cavalry or motorized

[glacial steeple]

chat do i go communist or monarchist manchu

[tiny dawn]

it extends the range

unironically very powerful

[dusty sandal]

motorize supply = more capacity and range but uses trucks (not a lot)
don't stray out too far for supply hubs

also, adress the alerts at the top of your screen

[devout widget]

yeah, I just don't know what to do for them

[obsidian badger]

I think monarchist you get to core all of china as qing

And you get japan to carry u

But thats probably pretty easy

[light knoll]

id pay money to have the dlc focus trees with the dlc mechanics

[obsidian badger]

Japan slimes china rn

[light knoll]

remove projects, raids, mios

[tiny dawn]

i invited spain and portugal, now somehow things are stabilizing

i was not expecting that

[obsidian badger]

Prob gibraltar

Allies cant resupply italy now

Unless italy civil wars

[neat widget]

yeah probably gibraltar

did you get egypt or something

[glacial steeple]

raids are cool...

projects are not dlc

[glacial steeple]

no im going against them anyway

[light knoll]

i mean like. stuff that were added with dlcs

let me play 2015 hoi4 with 2026 focus trees

give me back tactical nuking

[simple nacelle]

I'm so confused about the naval stuff in this game why can't I access the irish sea using my navy?

I'm in the same faction as germany and spain is my subject

I'm trying to see if there's any way to get access to ports but there seems to be no button?

[tiny dawn]

what the hell is up with your hitler dude

by god

is that how he used to look?

[left glacier]

You need to move your fleet's home base closer

[tiny dawn]

ctrl right click on a port closer

[tiny dawn]

yeah

[simple nacelle]

ohhh im dumb, thank you

[tiny dawn]

ur not dumb dont say that...

[neat widget]

Also check if you have Gibraltar or Suez

[left glacier]

Spain owns Gibraltar from the looks of it

[proven rain]

Guys with Italy should i do only infa

And can some some give me a good template for inf

[gleaming grove]

why does it say no mission assigned when they are all on a mission=

[hoary glen]

You need to assign a region

[uncut sparrow]

guys i started as germany i want to do medium tanks should i do interwar or rush medium basic chasis

[gleaming grove]

i did

[spice granite]

The ones with the orange exclamation marks are what they’re referring to they probably don’t have enough range

[spice granite]

Basics

[uncut sparrow]

ok what is the mod called that makes hoi4 withiut terrain

cuz i always have late game lag how can i fix it

[dusty sandal]

get closer, you likely don't have enough range

[gleaming grove]

why cant i just bomb the frontline?

[dusty sandal]

mission efficiency depends on range
low mission efficiency means less effectiveness even in battles where you have range

[devout widget]

Why does it say missing equipment production on the notifications bar?

[neat widget]

look at the planes saying "standby"

[scenic nacelle]

Well hover over it

[devout widget]

man I swear I never knew it told you what you needed 😭

[gleaming grove]

man i dont get airforce

that handling is so incredible bad holy

[feral salmon]

click the little gear near the port on the menu it'll always choose the nearest port whenever you assign a mission

[gleaming grove]

so i guess i was to slow?

[spice granite]

If hoi is your power, what are you without it?

[uncut sparrow]

who to choose from these three

[lucid torrent]

What happen if fuel go to 0?

[hoary glen]

For 2, yeas. But not the rest. Tbh have you checked if you even have range? Click your wings one by one and look if you can even fly there.

[hoary glen]

If you can't reach 50% of an airzone you can't do missions in it at all.

[amber monolith]

guys how do i get more supplies to my soldiers?

[gleaming grove]

why the hell are my units stacked in 1 field when i tell them to fill the whole front?

[dusty sandal]

the divisions are assigned to a small frontline

delete all orders and create a new one

[gleaming grove]

yeah no shit

right click and move along the frontline doesnt work

they always go to the first tile clicked while holding rightclick

[dusty sandal]

they're all assigned here

[violet olive]

Maybe use fieldmarsciel lil bro

[dusty sandal]

that too

[trail reef]

can i see puppets pp?

[gleaming grove]

yes, tahts the problem

i know

[keen hemlock]

delete that order and make a new one

or make the order longer

[solid girder]

How do I make a decent navy as one without a good one

[trail reef]

how do i get everyone to accept imperial federation

[brave sun]

RNG

nothing u can do

[trail reef]

like lowering autonomy?

[brave sun]

oh wait what do u mean by imperial federation? i thought u meant something else

[trail reef]

so can i do anything?

[light knoll]

spend pp

[trail reef]

yea ik but except that

[brave sun]

click the last focus in colonisation focus three

[trail reef]

will having them at annexation level autonomy help

or is that a waste of time

[light knoll]

make them have high opinion of you

which also costs pp

[light knoll]

doesn't affect it

also do Indian autonomy

[trail reef]

so this wont be a problem?

[light knoll]

you don't get cores on it anyways

[trail reef]

fair enough

[half glade]

how do i fix this

[trail reef]

but i still want the achievement

[keen hemlock]

connect the suply hub in mosul to your railway network

[gleaming grove]

I dont know how i could be clearer tbh.
My problem isnt that i know that its not good to have all at 1 place. My problem is that no matter how often i delete the frontline order and try to make a new one, it appears again. Because holding rightclick to "draw" the tiles i want doesnt work.

[keen hemlock]

put all of your units in a new army

that happens to me sometimes in scw as soviets

sometimes that fixes it sometimes it doesnt

[half glade]

do you reckon i can take them

[keen hemlock]

not with 23 units

get a full army and some mountianeers

also convert you cavalry to infantry

[candid mist]

is this a good attack division for japan

[glacial steeple]

no

what is that

and what year

[candid mist]

idk i dont understand this game😭

why is it bad?

[glacial steeple]

terrible breakthrough

which is your defense when attacking

support companies bad but fine for china

you also dont have the arty amount for china war which is the only time during your playthrough line arty is acceptable

cuz you have the pre 1939 guns which are ass

and are fighting enemies fielding those too

[candid mist]

so if i want an attack division what should I make

[candid mist]

1936

[glacial steeple]

for china?

[candid mist]

im just expirimenting

ye

[glacial steeple]

or for other wars?

well the hohei shidan is fine

[candid mist]

china

[glacial steeple]

just add 1 or 2 arty to it

and like

have 3 factories on artillery since day 1

not later

[candid mist]

i try to use them but i can never penetratre them

[glacial steeple]

because day 1 you keep full production efficiency when reassigning factories

[candid mist]

ohh alr

[glacial steeple]

unequipped or untrained divs

[candid mist]

should i train them to max?

[glacial steeple]

you cant

it goes to +25% though which is useful for attack divs

[dusty sandal]

no good attack division has line arty in it

[glacial steeple]

also use this guy

[candid mist]

why not?

[strange mica]

Guys, What does the initiative in the divisions give me? I don't understand how it helps me

[candid mist]

alr bet

[dusty sandal]

because line arty has nothing to offer but soft atk
and not even a good ratio of cost per soft atk obtained

[glacial steeple]

but its good for china

lets you crit

[dusty sandal]

and you need other stuff to attack
mainly breakthrough

[candid mist]

should i covnert everything into shidan make only my attack units shidan

[dusty sandal]

no supply :(

[glacial steeple]

no

just keep the amount you have and make the rest the 12 width inf

and make more of them

to hold line

[dusty sandal]

good for spain, sure
for china ? no more than 1 per div at most

[candid mist]

whats a good thing to use for infantry then?

[glacial steeple]

you need it if you wanna reduce casualties its gen good

[candid mist]

alr thanks

[candid mist]

thank you

[dusty sandal]

more infantry

[glacial steeple]

i remember when people said sheep china was unbreakable and its just cuz they didnt crit

[candid mist]

so if i want to make attack infantry i just spam it?

[dusty sandal]

gives you HP, soft atk, org
then you get armored support companies (light tank recon and medium flame tank) on which you stack breakthrough

[glacial steeple]

thats all for allied war

[candid mist]

wdym by crit?

[glacial steeple]

damage exceeds enemy defense, deals more damage

same goes the other way for break

if they exceed your break they deal more damage to you

[dusty sandal]

example of attack special forces (inf is basically the same but with about 120 breakthrough and 40 soft atk less

[wooden kite]

why did i become lichtenstein as austria hungry?

[candid mist]

phh alr

[dusty sandal]

doctrines are assault inf, whatever, infantyr support, grand assault on grand battleplan

[dusty sandal]

you click the funny event

[wooden kite]

ah

i lwk dont recall

i looked away and became purple and new flag

[trail reef]

if india declares independence after i do the indian autonomy focus. when i retake them will it still count?

[light knoll]

i think it does? idk

it only matters for getting their generals anyways

otherwise you can just annex them

because you don't get cores

[coarse finch]

Check the requirements on the focus. It should tell you what you need

Iirc you need to own the land or have the land be owned by a puppet

[trail reef]

no but like if i do the focus then they declare independence and i retake them. will it still count as being done

[civic hare]

how is this done

[trail reef]

probably a focus

i cant make a faction but i need a faction to do some focuses what can i do

[gleaming grove]

im getting a stroke why cant they just go to the part of the frontline that im marking???

This is what im marking

[trail reef]

where are u marking?

[gleaming grove]

look 2nd pic

im giving up

just gonna let them do whatever they want i guess

[keen hemlock]

if i were you id rectuir more troops and get more offensive units

you only have 29

[candid mist]

i cant seem to peirce china with my shidan is there a reason why there trained and have all the equipement

[gleaming grove]

bro, thats absolutely not helpful atm

[keen hemlock]

anything is helpful in that scenario

[gleaming grove]

"i need help to swim"
"well try to get a bike"

[keen hemlock]

bro you have 29 units

on hungary

you could have so many more

[glacial steeple]

show

[candid mist]

like my division?

[gleaming grove]

ok and? How does that solve the issue of not being able to select a frontline?

[hazy hollow]

Can someone help me with naval invasions?

[gleaming grove]

im sure there is 10000 things i could improve, but right now im struggling with ONE

[hazy hollow]

I wasnt really around when the navy update droped so idk how to even set this up

[hazy hollow]

I assign navy to a task and it still keeps the naval dominance at 0

[dusty sandal]

let's do something simple
pause the game, delete all those frontlines
then select the field marshal, open the frontline tool, maintain SHIFT key, then Rclick and drag the frontline (**do not let go of SHIFT until you let go of right click)

then, while still having the field marshal selected, maintain CTRL key and Lclick on the frontline you see

CTRL+Lclick is the way to quickly assign divisions where you want. ALWAYS delete empty frontlines or orders to prevent issues
NEVER overstretch frontlines on distances they can't manage based on the troops they have assigned

[gleaming grove]

omg thx

i missed out the shift part

also never cleared all frontlines

[dusty sandal]

you need ships to patrol (not a lot), and then put the rest on strike force (applies a multiplier on supremacy) and then wait

[hazy hollow]

So the soviet netherlands strat doesnt work anymore, I assume

[dusty sandal]

you can still launch on day 1

you just need supremacy beforehand

once the order's carried out, the divs will keep going even if no more supremacy

[glacial steeple]

like the war

[hazy hollow]

For some reason when I move my navy to another port

lets say from black sea to leningrad

And then I assign the moved navy

[dusty sandal]

change home base

[hazy hollow]

they return to the black sea port

oh

[dusty sandal]

casually preshotting the question

[glacial steeple]

militia being locked behind communism is cripplign me </3

the doctrine

[dusty sandal]

there's a gear icon under the navy composition in the fleet screen. This is the automatic home base change tool
OR you can manually do this by CTRL + Rclick on any port

[hazy hollow]

Yeah saw it just now

[hazy hollow]

yeah its quite annoying

[dusty sandal]

ngl, these checks are awful
they're just not fun

[hazy hollow]

also tysm

[dusty sandal]

np

[hazy hollow]

can I just launch the naval invasion without strike force or anything else?

I mean if I unassign my boats

from patrol

[glacial steeple]

why are you zoomed out and why are we cropping screenshots while asking for help

[hazy hollow]

do I loose naval supermacy

[glacial steeple]

rapa nui militia build wouldve gone hard

i still might with irregular doctrine lowkey

but ehh

marines prob better idk

[dusty sandal]

you can just have ships on patrol that can give enough supremacy

it would be harder but a single battleship or 2 cruiser should be enough on patrol on each region

[glacial steeple]

you dont have supply and arent using planning bonus

[dusty sandal]

aphibious assault is a very good way to avoid those meatwalls
but honestly, so far down it's nearly 1940, you'll be better off restarting and, this time, not waste your time in the desert and instead secure ports and cities along the coast to weaken their frontline

[glacial steeple]

and also youre pushing in no supply north

cut it

its also 1939

restart lol

you have to win in ideally early 38, but you need to be pushing a lot more and a lot earlier

[hazy hollow]

my navy is moving back to the ports constantly

[candid mist]

im using the suply hubs that are allready there?

is that not enough

?

[candid mist]

allright

whats a good amphibious assault template

[hazy hollow]

This is some kind of joke

I assign a part of the navy to a region and they get assigned to another region

what is this game bro

[pliant condor]

restart

or ok maybe japan is not very playable without dlc

[glacial steeple]

its harder but its playable

his issue is not knowing how equipment, battle bonuses etc work

[gleaming grove]

Is there anything i gotta do now? Or just wait?

[glacial steeple]

and not having pushed in the big 39

[candid mist]

i tried but i wasnt able to

[candid mist]

do you mind explaining rq if you have the time

[glacial steeple]

i have time but it isnt really quick

[glacial steeple]

how did you try ?

did you put air up ? did you click early on or did you wait for like forever ?

[candid mist]

ill read it

[glacial steeple]

theres modifiers in battles that add or deduct attack

and you just have to click the bubble

[candid mist]

i think i clicked early on and had my plane sto

[glacial steeple]

also like just dont play on 5 speed its not doing you any favours

[glacial steeple]

you should be able to beat china for sure, but since i have very little information idk the things you did wrong, which likely are a lot

[candid mist]

when im in a war i generally go on 3x

[candid mist]

like im not sure where i go wrong cuz even back then b4 i had the dlc i allways had trouble pushing china and it would take a few years to get everything started

like whats the main strat

[glacial steeple]

again, likely many points

but i have no way to pinpoint them without more information on your game

like youve shown some things

[candid mist]

like the second i get marco polo bridge incident the war happens i try to press but i cant cuz they have 20 units on 1 tile and even when i attack with more it does not work

im using hoi shidan to attack

[glacial steeple]

20 units on a tile shouldnt matter

you can cycle attack

but like i just cant see your game/playthrough is the issue because set up is a bit like, annoying

you also have to rush the wargoal ofc

[candid mist]

how should I do my focus tree?

[glacial steeple]

all focuses that matter pre war

other than that youll try rushing fascist

you can take time to get mengkukuo if you feel unconfident thats an ok time loss

everything like eco is not a primary concern

[severe hollow]

Is this deficit normal

[glacial steeple]

any deficit is bad

but in july 36 its fine

[light sail]

is there any console command to spam troops?

[obsidian badger]

skull

[glacial steeple]

yes but i doubt itd help you

[light sail]

whats goin to help mee

[glacial steeple]

learning the game?

more troops doesnt make you win

[light sail]

well atleast i learned step by step

[solid girder]

How to break thru

[vital geode]

Maybe equip your divisions

So dont attack and let your stockpiles recover

[astral heath]

whats a good begginer country

[solid girder]

Germany 100%

Historical to be exact

You get land for free

Good buffs

a lot of research

[astral heath]

HOW could you POSSIBLY

[solid girder]

Good industry

[astral heath]

have exact

GO TO PRESIDENT

[solid girder]

I was tryna do precisely and auto correct kicked in

[astral heath]

folk

do i jus attack austria and czhek's?

[solid girder]

You can get land for free from em but yeah

[vital geode]

You got a focus tree

Use it

[wind lotus]

What are the best doctrines and sub dcontrines for a nation with limited industry and manpower that will fight a defensive war in 1938?

[vital geode]

You get them for free

[vital geode]

The Czechs would probably benefit from defensive posture and desperate defense

[wind lotus]

I'd ask for templates too but I assume that would a 12-18w infantry with support art, aa and eng

[blissful nova]

great war infantry?

forts

and entrenchment

[vital geode]

Forts get vaporized easily

Entrenchment is gone when you have to cycle troops

[wind lotus]

I see, thanks

And, what would you recommend to build a little late into the game once I begin to plan to push

I was thinking of mountaineers and Special forces in general

[upbeat silo]

kilgore

[glacial steeple]

hi jonathan

[vital geode]

Hi

[candid mist]

what are good attack divisions for poland?

[vital geode]

36 width tanks
32 or 36 width special forces

Or you just have a lot of CAS and fighters and attack with 18 widths

[candid mist]

can i afford to get medium tanks befor the soviets invade as poland?

[vital geode]

The Soviets do not invade poland

Not until like mid to late 1940

I usually have 3 medium tank divisions ready by war because I do not optimize everything

But by war with the Soviets, I usually have 20 ready

[candid mist]

oh alr do you think i should get the tanks or special forces then?

[vital geode]

Your choice

I like tanks

Special forces do not require as many resources, but are limited by spec ops limit

[candid mist]

what are spec ops limit?

[vital geode]

Special forces cap

You can only have so many battalions of special forces

It is a percentage of your army

Basically, big army gives you lots of special forces cap

If you have arms against tyranny, it goes up even more

[candid mist]

what are good plane tempaltes

for poland

are there any other ways to avoid peasent strike in hoi4

without agarian reforms

[vital geode]

Wait you are Poland?

I thought you wanted to attack Poland

Special forces 100%

You will mostly produce fighters to hold out and take out the soviet airforce

[vital geode]

No

Agrarian Reforms is the first focus you rush for, then do the political tree afterwards

[candid mist]

allright thank you

[candid mist]

is this good for poland

[vital geode]

It should be good

[candid mist]

how do i get the tree units?

[stray sorrel]

How do i properly play the game 😭

[candid mist]

https://tenor.com/view/hand-on-shoulder-akakichi-no-eleven-everything-will-be-ok-my-brother-in-christ-we're-gonna-beat-you-gif-16692013677699419935

[stray sorrel]

im just trying to play as a Austria before '40 hits

[candid mist]

lol same😭im trying to play as poland and i have no clue what to do

[oak jasper]

They're a DLC unit. I'm unsure which one.

[digital gust]

i have a save where im about to go to war with the allies (Italy is in the allies) amd i dont know if i am ready yet

anyone want to check the save or something?

im just not sure

[vital geode]

What DLCs do you have?

Rangers are NCNS

Mountaineers only are good as well

Though arms against tyranny make them much better

You won't get the exact width, but 32 widths should still do well

I can't make the final push into moscow. its lategame and my infantry are just bogged down 3 or 4 provinces from moscow, leningrad, and stalingrad. Every five minutes the allies invade my coast and i've got to send in a rescue party. The bullmoose to the south had a revolution they've pushed all the way north, he has too many units stacked on the border and they are starving. I'm out of SH arty, Regular Arty, and Support Equipment, and i made a two full army groups of infantry mixed with small SP arty with fixed turrets and Medium Howitzers, I could not keep up production because i'm importing 100 tungsten from sweden and still coming up short. I'm unopposed in the skies, but have 3x more fighters than close air support, the fighters don't have any planes left to shoot down so they are basically useless now, and my entire army is guzzling fuel like crazy, no matter how much i trade for I can't get enough
