Hey what’s the mod that enhanced AI navry play so it doesn’t stop using its navry for some odd reason

And cas bombers are they better on a medium plane ?

[vernal knoll]

what a mess

[jade tulip]

why when I set in composition editor to 2 battleships and 8 destroyers, it moves all destroyers to reserve

[opaque zealot]

what are the tanks people would use for ww2 german reich medium light or heavy of course solo

[fathom thistle]

make sure it has the same symbol

[opaque zealot]

single player

[fathom thistle]

like if you produce destroyers with different icon than shield it is considered different type of ship

so make sure you match the icons

[fathom thistle]

medium spgs

all the way

[opaque zealot]

artillery

tank artillery

[fathom thistle]

yes self proppeled artillery

[opaque zealot]

and

[fathom thistle]

with mechanized inf

[opaque zealot]

how many divisions should u suggest someone haves when they start the war with uk france and poland

[fathom thistle]

10 spgs/ 8 mechanized

[fathom thistle]

as many as you can fit to 100%.

[opaque zealot]

i usually have less than 10

because of production

and research

[fathom thistle]

you micro them usually anyway so thats enough

[opaque zealot]

oh

yes

make then small

and then when u have them make then bigger

[jade tulip]

wont they get crushed by enemy light tanks? Even though AI doesnt really produce that much tanks, they still do

[fathom thistle]

where do you have that from?

[jade tulip]

my experience with brits, they always have light tanks, same with soviets

[fathom thistle]

Basically for singleplayer you dont need hard attack so your main focus is soft attack and breaktrhough, thats what spgs are superior with compared to normal medium tanks, especially if you have the self propeled doctrine and even without its better

[jade tulip]

so how do you get rid of enemy ai tanks

I guess you could drain their HP, dont really know how the mechanic works and if soft attack on tank battalion will drain their HP

[fathom thistle]

then there is some kind of problem with your army composition bcs light ai tanks shouldnt be an issue for the most part

[jade tulip]

Whats a good cas design?

Should I just try max out ground attack

And let my fighters protect them

[pliant condor]

you don't on it

[pliant condor]

you ant to use bomb locks on them and the best 1x engine

[heady skiff]

What airframe?

Does it matter

[pliant condor]

only small airframe can be cas

[heady skiff]

Alr

[heady skiff]

How many bomb locks?

Just max them out or what

Because this looks really stupid but I could be stupid aswell xd

[fathom thistle]

as many as u can

[heady skiff]

Alrr

[glacial steeple]

10 is enough but low

but you can only easily get 9 vets

unless you go china war

[pliant condor]

this is basically the best design

hi, do I need all dlcs to enjoy the experience?

nahhh its okay 👍

e.g for example if i play iran or czech it will be okay?

[patent forge]

does militia get effects from infantry buffs from stuff like advisors, doctorines and spirits?

Nope

i think the only other way its like

civil war

but as soon as german invades the polish people

the treaty gets disbaneded

[heady berry]

This a decent tank? First time playing with tanks rn

[vital plinth]

Is it better I just build some mods ? And refit the rest after ? Does it go faster since I can get 25% refit bonus plus the output bonus ? So building basic empty hull and then refit instead of building it all in one is faster ?

produce them

use your military factories

how to produce them i dont see

wait for the escalation clause

give your units more guns? make more?

its useful for seeing if your army actually has any/any modern equipment in detail

[twin kayak]

I don't understand, I have 1m manpower in the field and only 86k of them have guns ?

[glacial steeple]

if you say so, then you need 4K more

Hello guys i just have a quick question.
I decided to go with the 4 Years plan, cause i didnt do in while.
If you ask me, I schould have everything to start the last focus right?
It asked for every of my Core Territorry to be controlled by me. I think it is, richgt?

[glacial steeple]

no

all states that you have annexed need to be fully controlled

afaik

or its because you dont control like uh

the belgian state or whatever

you might have a core on that

sorry confused it with the formable

im a lot dumb

[rain yew]

I’m tryna land paratroopers in britan, lost some to trying invade the ports with em. Should I send them behind the ports instead?

[glacial steeple]

you can send like 5-10 large paratroopers

1-2 per tile

[rain yew]

How do I do multi tile?

[glacial steeple]

surround and also directly attack the port

make multiple orders

[rain yew]

When I do an order it assigns all my divisions

[glacial steeple]

the outer layer will defend from outside and also be useful for supporting attacks

and the defenders get -30% debuff from being encircled

[glacial steeple]

only select a few then

[rain yew]

Oh alr

[glacial steeple]

under the general list on the left

[rain yew]

what the best divions template and designs for france against germany?

[humble wing]

whats the best flame tank design

[dusty sandal]

adjust speed to need, add stabilizer and autoloader instead of extra ammo if you have them, don't forget about MIO

[humble wing]

ty

14 armour?

[dusty sandal]

same as always, inf 9inf sup arty and aa
and either air build or SPg build
otherwise it gets complicated

[dusty sandal]

for breakthrough

it's not needed for singleplayer tanks, but it's very powerful on infantry or special forces (if not used on tanks, speed above 4km/h won't do anything because inf and special forces are capped at 4km/h anyway)

[slender lodge]

Francis

[undone raptor]

this guy and his monstrosities again

[slender lodge]

What is poolstudios

[undone raptor]

hmm

[undone raptor]

back to the point, this is the worst flame tank you can possibly get

way to expensive

[dusty sandal]

???

[undone raptor]

I told you before

you just slap 10 modules 1000 armor on a tank and call it "meta"

[slender lodge]

Holy meta

[undone raptor]

now watch him try explain this

[slender lodge]

https://tenor.com/view/hottie-dancing-happy-dance-excited-yay-gif-4843127454821816003

[dusty sandal]

it's insanely good on special forces (very cheap source of breakthrough, it's 200ic), basically essential in MP for brk stacking as well on tanks AND special forces

tell me what a good flame tank is

[undone raptor]

just empty tank + flamethrower

no need to waste IC on that

[dusty sandal]

Because if you want a cheap flame tank for inf, just add the flame tank company and don't produce any flame tank

that's free stats, and the only penality is that you're capped at 4km/h, which is the base spped of inf/special forces

you still get all the modifiers

[undone raptor]

from what I hear you just like to talk a lot

mostly nonsense

[dusty sandal]

Now also consider that the only way to get breakthrough on if or special forces is from : 1- gun tech 3, 2- light tank recon and 3- medium flame tank company

[dusty sandal]

explain how it's nonsense ?

[undone raptor]

you dont put a space between the question mark and the last word in a sentence

that kind of nonsense

🤡

[dusty sandal]

if you want the flame tank just for the modifiers on inf, just don't produce any flame tank and you get free modifiers

[dusty sandal]

that's just french typography ?

[undone raptor]

prove it

[dusty sandal]

[undone raptor]

what are you talking about man

do all french people just like to talk crap

this is hoI4 chat for gods sake

[dusty sandal]

If that's not ragebait I await an explaination about why empty flame tanks are better than stats or literally free modifiers

[undone raptor]

you are the one changing subject

you wanted this to be some 1v1

[dusty sandal]

and you literally told me adding a space between a word and a question mark is nonsense but whatever

[undone raptor]

you did

[dusty sandal]

I did what ? answer?

[undone raptor]

starting with your 14 armor modules on a tank

[dusty sandal]

yes ? because it's good ?

[undone raptor]

like how thick is that armor even going to be

[dusty sandal]

breakthrough is one hell of a stat

[undone raptor]

why would you need breaktrough on 1 small support company

wasting your resources

[dusty sandal]

because it's one of the only way to get rbeakthrough on inf/special forces, but I already said that

[slender lodge]

https://tenor.com/view/cat-kitty-storm-lightning-cloudy-gif-4080781101363007597

[dusty sandal]

and 2 mils on a tank isn't much resources but whatever

[undone raptor]

didnt you say you need no flame tanks on inf

you keep coming back to that question mark

why

[dusty sandal]

if you don't want the breakthrough, yes I did

[slender lodge]

Guys

https://tenor.com/view/bird-birds-violence-little-gif-23625791

Yall calm down

no needed for birt violence

[undone raptor]

I will stop the voilence if he accepts there is no space between the last word of a sentence and the question mark

🤡

[dusty sandal]

Situation 1 : I want breakthrough on special forces/inf (which is essential for good attack div): I use breakthrough flame tank
Situation 2 : I don't want breakthrough on my special forces/inf (because budget build likely) : I use empty support company

[undone raptor]

that was not the point

[dusty sandal]

They were basically ragebaiting, not the first time

but I find it funny so I go along

[inner sparrow]

ahh thought it was fr

[undone raptor]

keep it quiet frenchman

[dusty sandal]

[wild rune]

use field hospitals and logi company with IE to get the most bang for your buck

with Flame Tank and Armored Recon when you can actually build tanks

and support AA to not immediately die to enemy cas

[inner sparrow]

support aa is not enough anymore after they changed it

[wild rune]

it still covers half

depending on research level

[inner sparrow]

yes but its bait, just get green air in sp

its like easiest thing to do

[wild rune]

those who build an airforce

but anyways in mods like Sheeps or Expert AI it is difficult to just "get green air" depending on what country you're playing.

[undone raptor]

if you get 300 good fighters you can take down any airforce

not much needed

[wild rune]

in vanilla sp yeah

[inner sparrow]

even against sheep and expert its not hard unless you give them insane buff through settings

[wild rune]

crazy

[inner sparrow]

?

[wild rune]

I know its definitely possible but playing the soviet union and beating Germany's airforce might be a tad difficult

[inner sparrow]

no?

the only way it gets hard if u actually give them slider buffs, double slide buffs makes it very hard bc of their infinite production

but just base expert or sheep is not hard to beat in air war

the ai doesn’t check your mils on air and will never try to match or go higher than u in any scenario, even with good air designs so as long as they don’t get huge production bonuses to slider buffs its not hard to win

unless they recently changed it

[glacial steeple]

break is BAD on flames

[glacial steeple]

why do you not want it

do we love losing people

[inner sparrow]

truth nuke!!!

[glacial steeple]

i make my flame tanks with a fixed turret to avoid getting the evil breakthrough stat

[inner sparrow]

I hate my divisions staying in combat so I just make sure they have no break at all

oh and dont forget the fuel drums!!

[glacial steeple]

i saw a gato outside a few days ago

it was like trying to hunt a non existant bird in a tree and then i pet it after reassuring that the tree was in fact fine

[inner sparrow]

why is bro hunting birds

casey you should play more comp mp, current meta is perfect for you

disable all eq and only produce guns aaaa meta

0 thinking required

[glacial steeple]

its been getting more macro less micro since like

idk

ages ago

[inner sparrow]

less off both

[glacial steeple]

no but my issue with mp isnt like micro, or losing, but just stressing myself out and interacting with people

[inner sparrow]

thats why u should play fun inf minors

[glacial steeple]

awesome

[inner sparrow]

ur gonna have to only produce guns and ur div will still roll 1k soft in battle

[glacial steeple]

1K soft 💔

[inner sparrow]

bc u have disabled everything in it

super heavy howy

and so on

[glacial steeple]

me and shrimpy had a small debate earlier

assault inf for crit, or IE for hp

assume you have force attack

because without FA i feel like crit just kinda wins

like imo, imo, IE is good if youre d daying into like tanks so you can force longer battles

but idk

[inner sparrow]

Idk why u would take assault or ie over large unit

on inf

[glacial steeple]

more attack

[inner sparrow]

its just worse unless small inf tho

[glacial steeple]

large unit is kinda mid

doesnt even help SF

[inner sparrow]

large is good for big inf

[inner sparrow]

if ur doing sf then it’s different yeah

[glacial steeple]

also like, IE gets you ready for war earlier than large inf

less IC required

[inner sparrow]

ic doesn’t matter tho, u don’t have to produce support eq

[glacial steeple]

if youre date locked then it loses to large inf

[inner sparrow]

u can just disable everything :)

[glacial steeple]

okay but like

youre ready earlier with filling width with hp

and the hp is like only a bit lower per width than large inf

so idk

I did the math before the update once

[inner sparrow]

theres nearly no scenario where u need to be ready earlier where it would actually matter tho

u could argue if it was like commanders situation

[glacial steeple]

earlier war, earlier win

[inner sparrow]

u win with both

one will just be better later on

[glacial steeple]

imo large inf armies would be ready later than IE armies

in equal setting

[inner sparrow]

if looking at commanders sure maybe, I can’t say as im never looking at scenarios like that

but if ur looking at what is the best overall

[glacial steeple]

just logic based

if it takes less resources for almost the same thing, its better i think

large inf isnt bad, it just takes more mastery, more IC, more manpower

and you are better in the end

but it does cost more also

[inner sparrow]

yeah but the cost isn’t anything huge and if you can do big inf the difference won’t matter to you

again this also depends on if ur using eq disable exploits or not

[glacial steeple]

sure as germany vs ussr scenario you always do large inf

because its like a lot of IC on both sides

[inner sparrow]

I think best inf u can do in sp is large unit, super heavy prop doc, tank doesn’t matter tbh and then just gbp or desperate but desperate u can’t in vanilla anymore

[glacial steeple]

idk i play a lot of minor nations and japan so effectiveness per IC/manpower matters to me too

[glacial steeple]

also you can if you have a civil war

but on hist its kinda cooked

[inner sparrow]

honestly sf are better anyways so

and there I would go assault

[glacial steeple]

i think, overall, IE kinda gaps large unit tactics

its better for tanks, better for SF

worse for large inf units but cheaper

[inner sparrow]

IE is one of the best doctrines yeah

[glacial steeple]

like i see why large unit tactics is best, but from my POV which isnt europe warfare its kinda mid

id rather go assault inf and have a lot of crit on SF and just have dogshit holders in some games

[inner sparrow]

I mean its sp so sf is always better

[glacial steeple]

mp too no? depending on enemy a bit

[inner sparrow]

yes

but its not allowed in a lot servers so

or limited

[glacial steeple]

limited its still great

if its not allowed like barb then IE gets cooked but thats just because of like, server rules

not from a game design/best perspective i think

[inner sparrow]

on rb as example youre allowed to do sf as soviets but its not worth it

axis isn’t allowed to have sf on barb tho

[glacial steeple]

yeah because as soviets you need tanks or youd get rolled

but axis sf with air beats soviet tanks

[inner sparrow]

u could do org paratroopers with tanks

but u need the sf doctrine for winter recon

[glacial steeple]

its just cooked

[inner sparrow]

axis with air beats any soviets not matter what

anything with air does

[glacial steeple]

well yeah but i mean like

as kind of reference idk

im tired

its late

[inner sparrow]

me when the romanian inf brick I click has 1k soft and 6k defense

https://klipy.com/gifs/cats-urik3852-2

[glacial steeple]

i made this creature today with 1K defense base

i think i did get like 3 SF doctrines but whatever

[inner sparrow]

u only need to produce arty, td and guns for this btw

[glacial steeple]

tank gun sucks tho

[inner sparrow]

no ft or support eq or howy needed

[glacial steeple]

even then its like 3K ic becauee soviet buffs

probably like idk 4-5K anyone else

its not expensive

[inner sparrow]

yeah

[glacial steeple]

this server has people being like 'space marines OP' and then its 9 inf with medium SPAA

you can easy take over europe with gotterdammerung

but without it, anschluss in 1936 takes more time

too much more and hardest to make.

[unborn fable]

I would like to express a opinion regarding the update of NCNS. This is an event that occurred in the historical context of the Second Sino-Japanese War. May I ask where I should submit my feedback?

[slender lodge]

on game page

(steam)

[unborn fable]

Is that "discussions/forums"?

[vital geode]

How? Aren't the requirements the exact same?

You have the same historical tree

[slender lodge]

yeah but with the dlc u need an army 24 times bigger (just 10 divitions more)

[vital geode]

Austria might have maybe a couple more divisions

[slender lodge]

and without you need 500k troops on the field

[vital geode]

10?

[slender lodge]

and 50k infantry equipment

[vital geode]

What are you cooking

You need a lot more than 10

[slender lodge]

nope

if you train 10 and do just two national focus you easy get anschluss

but without DLC it changes the requeriments

thats just p2w

[vital geode]

Wdym 10

I remember needing to spam like 300 2 width divisions

[slender lodge]

https://www.youtube.com/shorts/YhIW8X1cw38

[wild rune]

more like 100

[slender lodge]

if you wanna do this you need a dlc cuz if not its harder

and harders means you will be able to do it in 1937

[wild rune]

but yeah anschluss third focus is definitely possible

anschluss 5th focus imo is better

but

[slender lodge]

so imma fight allies in 1939 and get easy f4cked

[wild rune]

is ts peak?

[vital geode]

Bruh, he deployed 3/4 equipped divisions

And yet it counted as fully equipped?

What

[slender lodge]

cuz DLC

that DLC is so p2w

[vital geode]

That isnt how it should work

[wild rune]

?

it aint

[slender lodge]

the dlc make it works like that

[wild rune]

nuh uh

[vital geode]

No

[slender lodge]

it is idiot

[wild rune]

I am playing the game rn

[vital geode]

The game must have bugged with calculations

[slender lodge]

i tried without and with dlc and doesnt work same

[vital geode]

Like it is a 1 hour tick thing

You usually need to spam 300 2 width divisions

[slender lodge]

yeah well i did the same shit alot of tries and didnt work

[vital geode]

Well how about this

[slender lodge]

the dlc make the game easier

thats just stupid

[vital geode]

You are allowing austria to make more industry

Therefore you get a bonus when you annex them

Easy win

[wild rune]

not really

[vital geode]

Especially without dlc

[wild rune]

maybe without dlc

[vital geode]

Since they rush down their industry focuses I think

[wild rune]

but germany has just much better civs than austria

[slender lodge]

yeah but the point is to do the fastest fall of france, benelux, poland and norway

if you cant do anschluss in may 1936 then u cant do the rest easier and faster

[vital geode]

I do my late 39 wars with Allies and still win

You dont need to rush

[slender lodge]

you need to rush

[vital geode]

I win with 3 36 width tank divisions

Just steal gold reserves and win

[slender lodge]

for 1939 i aint making tanks, the point is that you will have france and more countries in 1938 july so you can easy make alot of better tanks

[vital geode]

Just do a war before mid 40 and you are fine

[slender lodge]

and get a good templates

[vital geode]

I do have good templates

[wild rune]

tanks aren't real

lol

[vital geode]

I deal with both allies and comintern by 1942

So, I'm fine

[slender lodge]

yeah well i dc

i wanna do anschluss may 1936

and the only way is paying 17 dollars

i aint paying it

[vital geode]

I do my anschluss in 37/38

[wild rune]

you still can?

[slender lodge]

prefer to do it with the unlcoked game apk and thats lal

[slender lodge]

if you have the dlc

[wild rune]

not even if you just have the dlc

[vital geode]

What are your requirements? 500k and 50k manpower?

[slender lodge]

do anschluss 1936 on may

[wild rune]

Ok?

[slender lodge]

and send vid

without the dlc.

[vital geode]

So if you set 20 mils on guns day 1, you should easily get it in 37

36 even

[slender lodge]

the point is to get it in may 1936

[vital geode]

What's the point

You can use that time to get fuherprinzip focuses and industry focuses

[slender lodge]

to start barbarrosa faster

[vital geode]

You can do barb by doing ribbentrop focuses

[slender lodge]

yeah i can use that time for anschluss faster and then i take care of industry and fuhrer

[vital geode]

You dont even need anschluss

[slender lodge]

i wanna do barb after having most of europe

bc less enemies more rss

[wild rune]

By may 1936 do you mean 3rd focus or 5th bc 5th imo is a lot easier and you start the reichsleter stuff but I can do 3rd focus

[vital geode]

Does yugo strat still work in 2026

[slender lodge]

just do anschluss on may 1936

[slender lodge]

without dlc

if not shut up

[vital geode]

There is no point in a may 1936 anshluss

You can manually justify war on Poland if you want

And then do focuses to kill Soviets then lol

[slender lodge]

there is a point for me

[wild rune]

I can go into helping lounge one and stream it

[slender lodge]

if you dont like it then get away

[slender lodge]

just clip the vid

[wild rune]

no

[slender lodge]

it aint gonna take more than 5 minutes

[wild rune]

I can stream it

but I aint recording ts

[slender lodge]

win + alt + r

[vital geode]

Also I thought anchluss requirements without dlc is literally 100k guns in the field

[slender lodge]

then sthu

[wild rune]

why so aggressive

[vital geode]

I'm going on the wiki

[slender lodge]

500k mp on field and 50k infantry equipment for me

[vital geode]

You dont get help by being an a-hole btw

[slender lodge]

with dlc its just having 10 divitions more than default and u get it

[slender lodge]

idc

yall making it hard

[wild rune]

then why post here?

[vital geode]

I do admit, the 500k and 50k is probably annoying, but it actually should be relatively painless

Train a bunch of 2 widths, convert it into a large division

You should have 500k in the field with 50k guns pretty easily

Also I find it funny how you think this is required to win as Germany

If someone can win with basically armored cars only, you can win if your anschluss is delayed by a few months

[wild rune]

also the file size doesn't even fit on discorsd

and you were right btw

June 20th would be the fastest to get it

if I did everything right

still tho

its not as if it matters that much

[violet maple]

why doesnt the USSR attack when i have the molotov ribbentrop pact nd invade poland

?

[acoustic scroll]

how do I play with mods?

[light knoll]

because the game is not historically accurate

you'll just need to give it to them

after you take it

[light knoll]

subscribe through steam, then enable them on the launcher

[acoustic scroll]

okay thanks

[hoary glen]

Bc the way the game works would lead to Soviets being at war with the allies and PDX does not know how to prevent this. So they just sit there. However if you don't do the deal it's likely the Soviets attack you in 1940

[violet maple]

is there a mod that fixes this

i want like a fully historical gameplay

[hoary glen]

You're free to look for it 😄

[lucid torrent]

is this mod good ?

[plucky tiger]

Is the refit time and cost worth it for batteries and torpedo modules better than II?

[lucid torrent]

generally no.

[plucky tiger]

Which modules are worth refitting for?

[lucid torrent]

AA, radar, fire control, secondary gun

Damm, i can't forgive PRX for making navy this way, they are so close of making navy fun

[plucky tiger]

Refitting is such a pain. I wish the tradeoffs for making better or different modules were more significant instead of some mild speed debuff and “haha it’ll take until 1950 to refit this”

[buoyant cargo]

I am playing road 56 as Soviet China and I can't invade Guyuan even after the raid succeeded

Anyone knows what's wrong because I am angry at it, I restarted 8 times

[lucid torrent]

I honestly don't have much problem with refitting right now, but problem still entrench in other mechanic.

[lucid torrent]

invade? You mean annexing their territory? Or you can't win border war?

[hoary glen]

For when you have to fight God, yes

[buoyant cargo]

yes

border war

i don't know what's wrong with this game

[lucid torrent]

It doesn't fire? or you don't receive their territory?

[buoyant cargo]

every time I succeed the raid their troops doesn't lose organization and when I attack they defend hard

[lucid torrent]

oh, you must place your troop on border

[buoyant cargo]

I put all the troops there

I mean, I can make it easily in vanilla but in Road56 it is bugged

[lucid torrent]

It still quite rng, but there are a trick. If you activate the mission if they are training , your chance are quite high

[lucid torrent]

If then you should ask RT56 team.

[buoyant cargo]

how can I do this?

I mean do they have a server like this?

[lucid torrent]

Yeah, pretty much all big mod have one.

[buoyant cargo]

okay ty bro

[normal lagoon]

has there been changes in garuantees/world tension. until recently you could take the dutch east indies as germany but now the UK garuantees them

[supple jungle]

i am trying to play monarchist japan and every time i go in on china they manage to stall me and beat up my airforce, can anyone help or give a guide?

[proven rain]

how to reduce this

[dim mantle]

apparently. I watched a Bittersteel gameplay where France guarantees Yugoslavia but when I play it doesn't (I don't have all DLCs)

[indigo sapphire]

how much INF Eq should i produce?

[undone raptor]

They just revoke the guarantee after a while

[undone raptor]

Depends on the world tension and the UK their political power/ if they did the focus for guarantees

[pearl vessel]

Is this medium tank design good for historical germany 1938?

[dim mantle]

in my game they don't even start guaranteeing it

Yugoslavia, not other countries

in fact I was puzzled watching that gameplay

[hoary glen]

With the new faction system they can guarantee democracies at any time.

[hoary glen]

Put one mil truck and train, 3 on support and the rest on guns and artillery, depending on your template.

[proven rain]

how to reduce

thif

[hoary glen]

Build more gun

Trade on market

Delete Divs you don't need

Beg allies

[pearl vessel]

Is it ok?

[hoary glen]

Don't Battleplan into mountains

[hoary glen]

Medium gun is better, Howitzer 2 is even better.

Also wet ammo storage is never needed, you can add one MG or something like easy maintenance instead

[pearl vessel]

I actually designed that from reddit but his stats is different better than me despite having all same modules how is it possible?

[hoary glen]

Most likely higher lvl MIO

Some techs might also influence it

But that gun is pretty bad tbh

There are a lot better options

[glacial steeple]

hi patrick

[proven rain]

u

how i reduce

[pearl vessel]

Which one is medium gun?

[hoary glen]

Put your mils on what other stuff you want to have, like support, AA, Trains and then the rest goes on guns. Any surplus mils, put them on guns. When you play a minor you want to have at least 5 on it past 37 and on a Major 10.

[hoary glen]

Hiiiii

[hoary glen]

Bro I told you

[indigo sapphire]

alr thx

becus sometimes i have surplus mils

as Estonia

[dusty sandal]

Produce more
Stop losing them to combat and attrition
Stop training new divs

[hoary glen]

You need the 2nd Arty or AT tech to unlock it. The one in the "medium guns" category

[pearl vessel]

Medium howitzer?

[dusty sandal]

Unlocked by arty 2 tech

[indigo sapphire]

are medium howitzers good?

[pearl vessel]

That's why unable to see in designing

[dusty sandal]

Best gun for soft atk, making it best gun in singleplayer

[indigo sapphire]

alr thx

is creating and using real life historical templates good for land units?

[dusty sandal]

No, historical designs might work (but will be half useless tbf) but historical templates will literally kill you

You'll have pure tank divs (they die because no HP), 6width divisions etc

[indigo sapphire]

alr

then what types of templates should i design and use

[proven rain]

how to spawn special forces

[dusty sandal]

Inf, tanks, mech, special forces ... whatever you need and can afford

[dusty sandal]

You train them. Don't forget their techs

[proven rain]

?

how to spawn

[indigo sapphire]

alr

[dusty sandal]

You spawn sf by training them

[proven rain]

cant

[dusty sandal]

Train a sf division

[proven rain]

cap

[indigo sapphire]

how many divs should i train as estonia

[dusty sandal]

Train more non sf divisions
Do focuses, doctrines, advisors or army spirits that increase the cap

[glacial steeple]

we can NOT be serious

milan genuinely you just dont know how factories work

no template is gonna fix that

[proven rain]

bruh

[dusty sandal]

Hover over the cap and read what it says

[glacial steeple]

fix your equipment and eco

[proven rain]

fixed

[glacial steeple]

ive told you as much as i could about using menus

[proven rain]

alr

[indigo sapphire]

@dusty sandal

[glacial steeple]

do you have a stockpile of weapons?

[glacial steeple]

is it not negative?

[proven rain]

i did everything

[glacial steeple]

thats good thats a good start

[dusty sandal]

As many as you need

[indigo sapphire]

alr

i do wanna train enough Divs as estonia to attack and defend

[proven rain]

i dont

[dusty sandal]

Defend first. Remember that you're playing a shitter country against a massive major

[indigo sapphire]

alr

[glacial steeple]

ok so make mils with your construction, then put it on weapons

[dusty sandal]

I wouldn't adive you to play this until you have a good understanding of the game but do as you like

[glacial steeple]

you also have units not assigned to generals, and you can pick doctrines

[indigo sapphire]

should i produce ALL techs and equipments just incase?

[glossy hatch]

is this winnable?

[glacial steeple]

yes

[hoary glen]

Can be a fun challenge, but is not recommended

[glossy hatch]

how do i push tiles like this? like if its stacked

[glacial steeple]

not with those units

use large size mountaineers and try to crit

[hoary glen]

Wet ammo and fuel drums are troll modules. Use more MGs instead or easy maintenance. Also you want to get the 2nd howitzer bc it doubles your soft attack. Else this is good for SP.

[glacial steeple]

youll want to attack with 4+ units

[glossy hatch]

i have 2 32,4 width mountaineers

[glacial steeple]

thats ok

if saudi arabia is in the war you could try to take the 2 tiles to the right

[glossy hatch]

making my third rn

[glacial steeple]

and then either the port or the mountain tile

limiting them to 1 tile

[glossy hatch]

if i invite saudi arabia i get steamrolled i dont have enough man to cover the whole front

[glacial steeple]

otherwise attack from 2 tiles into 1

[glacial steeple]

they can die its ok

you should have 900 weekly manpower

[glossy hatch]

yeah but then i have to defend much more tiles and i fight against the whole world they have shitton of troops

[glacial steeple]

you wont

saudi arabian supply is dreadful

it will make the allies spread out more and attrition more

[indigo sapphire]

is using the panzer ship and pre dreadnoughts good as germany?

[glossy hatch]

okay maybe i try it

i will look how it is going without saudi arabia and if i dont make any progress i invite them

[glacial steeple]

well the thing is

you have to encircle this stack of units to weaken the allies

and the easiest way would be to go around

paratroopers would be great too

but anyway, your goal is to at minimum push them out

[glossy hatch]

alr

[glacial steeple]

whats your general like?

[glacial steeple]

trash

re roll until you get a brilliant strategist

then pick bold attack

[glossy hatch]

where do i see if he is a brilliant strategist?

[pearl vessel]

I unlocked medium gun so what should be my full medium tank design?

[glacial steeple]

its a trait

[glossy hatch]

should i use him? he is for my regular inf

[glacial steeple]

just use 1 general

tho hes also bad

only rolled 4 attack points for 6 levels

i dont think you have more than 24 units

[glossy hatch]

yeah i dont have bold attack i use prof officer corps

[glacial steeple]

if you do, then just try getting decent generals

bold attack is so good

if you have level 10 attack its +25%

[glossy hatch]

i have 22 units regular inf and 3 mountaineers

but i use 6 inf to guard my coast

[glacial steeple]

then a field marshal is also +12.5% at level 10 attack

[glossy hatch]

the other 16 i use for attacking

[glacial steeple]

so +37.5% modifier

youre missing out on

not counting traits and stuff

[glossy hatch]

yes thats a big problem

[glacial steeple]

for nations like yemen you need this knowledge

[glossy hatch]

yeah but now i know

[glacial steeple]

because youll rely on gun 3 (42) in 1939 and good generals to win

and also good defensive terrain if earlier

[glossy hatch]

so my goal rn is to get attack up ?

[glacial steeple]

you can always let enemies into south yemen

[livid spruce]

Does anyone know why the game lags

[glacial steeple]

its desert and not hard to attack for you

[glacial steeple]

your goal should always be to get better battle stats and economic efficiency

[pearl vessel]

Is this design good?I am new so guide me if I need to make change

[livid spruce]

Ive got a good pc but once i get past 1942-43 its unbearable

[glacial steeple]

its really expensive and bad

[glossy hatch]

but on which stats should i keep an eye on for generals?

[glacial steeple]

in game, riveted armor, infantry tank MIO, self propelled artillery role (says medium tank) and secondary heavy machine guns (2) are singleplayer meta

for tank

[livid spruce]

Depends

[glacial steeple]

attack

always helps

[glossy hatch]

and the general i use for my regular inf is also trash right?

[glacial steeple]

hes ok

[glossy hatch]

like do i reroll or what should i do now?

[glacial steeple]

hes just like

a lot worse than what you couldve had

and you really rely on him to win because you dont get any big national buffs

like if you were like bulgaria he'd be okay as a secondary general or something

because they get tons of other buffs too

[indigo sapphire]

hello

as Germany i like Mass producing and building the Panzerschiff and Pre-Dreadnought

[glacial steeple]

its just, as yemen your general is the only real factor to give your army stats

besides like doctrines

[pearl vessel]

Okay so which modules should I add?can you give me all name?

[glossy hatch]

yea

[undone raptor]

Shouldnt depend on the dlc

I got all dlcs exept for la resistance

[undone raptor]

So it has nothing to do with france I think

[dim mantle]

what else then

[indigo sapphire]

is Mass producing and building the Panzerschiff and Pre-Dreadnought good for Germany?

[glacial steeple]

hi marko 👋

[indigo sapphire]

hello Casey

[glacial steeple]

coastal defense ships are good if youre on the beta

[indigo sapphire]

what wdym

[glacial steeple]

theres a game open beta

changes ship costs and resource costs

[indigo sapphire]

alr

can i make the coastal defence ship avaliable to ALL?

[glacial steeple]

it is when you click the doctrine

you get it unlocked and then you can even swap to another doctrine after

it adds the tech

its one of the options on the right side one

[dim mantle]

there was a meta where you just mass produce light cruisers like the Panzerschiff

[glacial steeple]

ages ago

[indigo sapphire]

OH alr

thx casey

[dim mantle]

you can win easily as Germany on historical just mass producing light cruisers

[indigo sapphire]

alr

ik

i like mass producing and spamming subs

[dim mantle]

but if you wait more time then they become obsolete

[indigo sapphire]

alr

doesnt matter for me

ill take whatever

ships i can get

[reef folio]

Does somebody know why the soviets keep attacking me even if they lose all the Battles?

[reef folio]

I can win offensively but i have no occasion to do that cuz im perma pinned

And i have green air

[indigo sapphire]

@dim mantle

hello

read above

[dim mantle]

I did

[indigo sapphire]

alr whatcu think

[livid spruce]

Its what they do

[dim mantle]

about submarines?

[livid spruce]

They spam sspam spam

They have the manpower for it

But they should stop at a point

[indigo sapphire]

about the ships

and also subs

[dim mantle]

like I said

[reef folio]

Or should i do cas maybe?

[reef folio]

Could that help

[livid spruce]

Yes

[reef folio]

Aight thx

[indigo sapphire]

OH alr sorry

again for me i mass produce build and spam ALL ships

this is what i like about TGW

i like the german ships

@glacial steeple

[glacial steeple]

awesome

[indigo sapphire]

alr

i do wanna add those pre ww1 during ww1 and post ww1 ships to my hoi4 multi mod

[glossy hatch]

which support companies would you recommend me on my mountaineers besides aa, art and recon?

[meager pier]

why does it show my org is too low even though it is max

[indigo sapphire]

@glacial steeple

[glacial steeple]

what do you have?

[glossy hatch]

i just have recon and shovels researched but i can unlock more

[glacial steeple]

considering factory count you could maybe have rangers, if 1 on supp equipment is enough then engineers on mountaineers, support arty, support AA

youd like flame tanks

but like you probably dont have those

same story for howitzers

[meager pier]

@glacial steeple

[glacial steeple]

you dont have strenght, ignore org

its usually not relevant

[meager pier]

yes but i cant beat ethiopia in every tut

[dusty sandal]

Battleplan agressiveness too low
What should worry you is the half orange bar that should be full

[meager pier]

how do i make it full

[dusty sandal]

Use your bombers and be careful of their range
Ground support mission only

[meager pier]

i already issued it

[dusty sandal]

No air support mission
You have more planes at home
Fuel is needed
watch the range

[indigo sapphire]

is using the OLD ww1 ships in the TGW or TGWR mods good?

[dusty sandal]

Delete all fighters, they're useless

Btw, if you have more than 3 alerts at the top of your screen, you MUST pause the game
Adress each and every one of them

[indigo sapphire]

@dusty sandal

[dusty sandal]

No idea

[indigo sapphire]

alr

[glacial steeple]

3?

i never pay attention to the amount

i know theres a few that are useless

[undone raptor]

The question mark guy again

[glacial steeple]

like no units in production

[indigo sapphire]

@glacial steeple any ideas?

[glacial steeple]

my brain is empty

[meager pier]

which ones are alerts?

[undone raptor]

So you are just against air...

[indigo sapphire]

alr

[dusty sandal]

Yeah, 3 is generally decisions, lacking production and pp waiting to be used

[indigo sapphire]

then what to i do

[undone raptor]

Thats why your CAS was such a strange build

[dusty sandal]

Those are much harmful if ignored

[dusty sandal]

All the icons under your xp

[undone raptor]

Ok nvm its in ethiopia

[glacial steeple]

i always use pp...

[dusty sandal]

You have a bazillion of them

[meager pier]

ik im being annoying but idk where that is

[dusty sandal]

Top of your screen. Under the 3 xp counters

[meager pier]

oh this?

and how do i delete dem fighters

[glossy hatch]

@glacial steeple is he much better now?

[glacial steeple]

beautiful

in battle youll see your stats be way better

[glossy hatch]

yes i noticed

[glacial steeple]

usually

when i grind a general as a minor and i low roll on attack but its still ok like your first general

ill make them field marshal because they still get half the buffs

[glossy hatch]

should i promote him?

[glacial steeple]

your first guy? unless you have a better option probably

[glossy hatch]

yes the guy with the good stats

i only have him and some other general but the other one is really bad

[glacial steeple]

idk

just use your lower stats guy

always need to grind 2

less rng when levelling up is always good

[glossy hatch]

okay

they lost nearly 7m men and i didnt even lost half a million

but they still have so much equipment and manpower

[meager pier]

what do i do after i eat ethiopia

[light knoll]

you should always promote your generals to field marshals

if you have the command power

even if you're using them as generals

because you get +1 trait and offensive doctrine gives you a bit of atk that applies even to generals

(the other field marshal traits don't)

[meager pier]

what do i do after i defeat italy @pulsar warren

[trail reef]

can i make so my nuclear reactors only make thermonuclear bombs
