Why

AND THEY ALL ALSO KEEP SAILING TO SPAIN

[neat widget]

I will say something

[hushed citrus]

well , just left the game . i played on this match 10 hours without stoppinng for a rest

[neat widget]

Streamlined deployment doesn't do anyhting to streamline your deployments, and mission type tactics does not actually make your units use tactics appropriate for their mission

[proven cargo]

What's the main strat for starting off as Germany ? So you're able to take UK

[lofty ravine]

how do i cancel a justification if i ended up at war with the country before it finished (the game thinks im still justifying but i dont have the option to cancel)

[alpine birch]

I managed to figure it out

now I think navy is even stupider than I did before

that's imppresive

[neat widget]

something like this

[lofty ravine]

??

[hushed citrus]

nice, but got no flametanks and no heavy howitzer (no dlcs)

[neat widget]

planes like these

[proven cargo]

I have no dlc

So I don't think I have that option for planes

[neat widget]

then just make naval bombers

[proven cargo]

Also do I rush anshluss

[neat widget]

In the meanwhile you should bulid some of a navy so that you can cross once you cleared out the royal navy

yes rush anschluss

and if you do build one civ

(research slot purposes)

[proven cargo]

So 20 divisions and force deploy?

[proven cargo]

Ah ok

The rest just comes from my focus tree?

[neat widget]

this would be your marine for no DLC

I should say that the stats will be off because I have DLCs enabled rn

[hushed citrus]

pretty solid

i will save this image for later

[neat widget]

now, to continue the venting
mobile warfare does not make you more mobile (it makes you stuck)
grand battleplan does not turn you into a wwi army
blitzkrieg is not real, you need to do the opposite of it in order to win
infantry is in fact not good at being infantry
artillery is even worse at being artillery
organization can de-order your divisions if you have too much of it
recon does barely anything
only armored maintenance does any maintenance (the un-armored variant just captures equipment)
motorized anything is asking to pay to weaken your units

just assume that the in game names have nothing to do with their in-game mechanics

[hushed citrus]

i did a blitzkrieg in ussr battles alot

and i mean alot

[hardy elm]

mobile warfare has speed buffs 🧐

[neat widget]

but you can't break through

[hardy elm]

still

"doesnt make u more mobile"

[neat widget]

walking 4 kmh across a continent consistently is better than moving 12kmh but not actually being able to break the enemy

[hushed citrus]

i attaked from latvia because there is low numbers of devisions inthere and moved into the terittories so fast to avoid any risistance

and only in 1 year

i invaded the ussr

and also attacked from romania

and from iran

and made circules in finland to make some casualties

[uneven hinge]

How does Shore Bombardment affect troops naval invading? I assume port bombing and CAS also helps

[hardy elm]

gives a lil bonus in battle

its like a 15 or 20% boost i think

[hushed citrus]

thats the wole point of the blitzkerg , thats why mobility is important, big unexpected attack from an unexpected place

[neat widget]

Imagine if you have a 300mph race car and it breaks down in 30 meters, that's mobile warfare / mobile infantry for you

[hushed citrus]

fast and strong

and big numbers

[hardy elm]

na it can still defo work if u use other doctrines

[hushed citrus]

offensive not defensive

[hardy elm]

just makes ur units faster so when u do break through its better

plus less org loss

[hushed citrus]

thats the point of my tactic of invading europe

[hardy elm]

tbf mobile warfare and ur sealion is 1949

[hushed citrus]

wont be useful anymore , need power more than mobility

they attack with crazy numbers

like a hordes

[hardy elm]

just spam cas and good tanks

[hushed citrus]

in only libya UK got 60 devisions

[hardy elm]

why did u wait so long to fight uk

surely u do poland france then quick sea lion kill russia then boom game done

[hushed citrus]

because i did a mistake

i attacked ussr first

[hardy elm]

wait so u took poland then fought russia

[hushed citrus]

we've moved into chatting, i think we should move to chat channel

[uneven hinge]

That’s on top of air superiority boost and bombing right?

[hardy elm]

Ye

[neat widget]

Also, in real life giving a person a horse for traveling does not make them less effective in combat. In hoi4 it somehow does

[proven cargo]

for building a navy as germany is it jsut subs?

or whats your navy production line

[errant chasm]

i build destroyers

[neat widget]

destroyers are overpowered in the recent patches

so yeah

[proven cargo]

so no more subs?

but it wont be able to beat royal navy still right?

unless youre meant to do smth

[glacial steeple]

subs cant

[proven cargo]

wont my destroyers be sunk tho

or does it also count as a screening ship

[left mica]

just build surface ships

carriers

[wooden kite]

https://tenor.com/view/gem-finding-gem-gem-alert-jasswa-looking-for-gem-gif-4573895384736430461

[proven cargo]

sorry if this sounds dumb but wdym by surface ships

[left mica]

anything that doesnt submerge

[proven cargo]

k

[left mica]

so every ship except subs

[neat widget]

Look at this code for armored engineers

[left mica]

but subs are still excellent for trade interdiction

[neat widget]

And then compare it to the code for armored signals

Big bruh

[neat widget]

true

[left mica]

so i would go all out into building ships and selecting carrier grand doctrines, but still put 30 dockyards on subs and gut the uk's oil supply

@proven cargo

[errant chasm]

so is armored signals pointless?

[neat widget]

although at this rate i might as well just use cruisers

[proven cargo]

alr

[neat widget]

no, it's the opposite

armored signals gives buffs that armored engineers don't

[left mica]

just do 12 support comps

i heard pdx is gonna expand the support comp slots

[neat widget]

because paradox decided that armored engineers will add 0.05 breakthrough per armored battalion instead of 5%

[proven cargo]

btw for rubber do u invade netherlands early?

[left mica]

i build refineries

[neat widget]

to be honest armored signals are pointless in singleplayer

regular signals do better

multiplayer armored signals do better in tank builds

[hasty belfry]

I just saw a video that said that 3 countries can get access to militia battalions (that you can manually add, not just ones that come with templates). I know Communist China and Aussa can, but does anyone know what the 3rd is?

[proven cargo]

btw who to use for fuherprinzip

[left mica]

who even uses militia

rudolf hess, todt then switch to goring when you're prompted and goebbels

[hasty belfry]

Militia is kinda op with the new focuses.

[left mica]

idk then

[proven cargo]

in that order?

[hasty belfry]

Both good combat stats, and the fact that with completed doctrines, each militia battalion adds 2% equipment capture.

[left mica]

think so

idk about goebbels though

last pick is up to you

[glacial steeple]

isnt that bad lol

[neat widget]

that's like really bad

increasing your tank's breakthrough from 70 to 70.05 is basically un-noticeable

armored signals would increase it to 73.5

[glacial steeple]

maybe on uuuhhh light spgs or something

idk if it gets the malus

[uneven hinge]

Unless you’re using a mod like Sheep’s

[glacial steeple]

no its just kinda bad for break, you get coordination tho iirc

which lets you crit more but its a support slot

very valuable

[neat widget]

malus?

[left mica]

penalty

[neat widget]

what malus is associated with armored engineers

[left mica]

malus means penalty

[neat widget]

what i'm saying is that they're not buffed as they should

[left mica]

anything works in sp

lmao

[glacial steeple]

from fixed turret and role

[glacial steeple]

same for most heli supports

heli supports are so baddd

[neat widget]

well you'd have to have 1 breakthrough or less in order for it to be worth it

[glacial steeple]

logi was the only good one and look what they did to logi

[neat widget]

they just made normal logi better
honestly they should give heli logi the same buffs

And yeah they should make all support helis better too, because they sort of suck rn

[glacial steeple]

theres a doctrine to make them more usable

but its like worse than howi doctrine i think? havent seen anyone test

[neat widget]

well one is 10% attack to leg inf and the other is 10% attack and defense to all units

yeah, totally unnoticeable

(the assault engineers are just 7.2 breakthrough on their own)

[neat widget]

heli supports actually work i should say

even if their buffs are mediocre

[uncut sparrow]

guys when playing a nation should i always aim for med tanks planes and 9/0 even w small nations

[neat widget]

get the infantry first

then you can choose whether to add planes or tanks next (probably planes)

[glacial steeple]

its nation dependent

[neat widget]

then you add the other

[glacial steeple]

very, nation, dependent

[uncut sparrow]

example china

[neat widget]

also nation dependent as said, but if you don't have infantry you're in trouble

[glacial steeple]

you make 6 inf with support arty

and prioritize equipping the arty

because guns dont do damage before the 1939 gun, and after that arty doesnt do damage

your war is in 1937

you can research gun max a year ahead of time if you rush it

like you can prob get it early 38 as some countries

not as china

[uncut sparrow]

thanks i always doubt should i research tanks

[glacial steeple]

probably not

[uncut sparrow]

so better to invest in planes

[glacial steeple]

you need good generals, good supply, good terrain for them to actually pay dividents compared to special forces, infantry, or air

air is always hard

because it requires 3/4 dedicated research slots just to air alone

[uncut sparrow]

are special forces good i never use them

[glacial steeple]

and also aluminium and rubber

[uncut sparrow]

yeah but i think its worth it

[glacial steeple]

so like, air is best if you can do those

but not everyone can

[uncut sparrow]

are basic airframes with 2x cannon good

[glacial steeple]

you also should be researching well ahead of time instead of like, waiting, and then getting it slower

so again air is like, luxury build

you dont really get to do it a lot

[uncut sparrow]

should i mass produce it cuz every nation like 90% start with this

or should i rush for imroved

[glacial steeple]

its only like a few

[uncut sparrow]

even interwar

[glacial steeple]

ussr, germany, usa, france doesnt have basic fighter but does have cannon, yugoslavia

[neat widget]

most nations in europe i believe start with it, and you can get it through licensing for nations outside of europe. that said, i'm not sure

[glacial steeple]

uk only has lmg

[uncut sparrow]

and for tanks are interwar med good to produce

[glacial steeple]

tank chassis doesnt add stats, it does for planes

[uncut sparrow]

i mean ofc researching for the basic chasis

[glacial steeple]

so for planes it matters a lot to upgrade

[uncut sparrow]

wait fr?

[glacial steeple]

for tanks its like whatever

[uncut sparrow]

like for tanks its not a big deal

i didnt know that

[glacial steeple]

well you can see the stats

[glacial steeple]

you get some reliability, armor, speed

[uncut sparrow]

for planes i knew but i thought it was same for tanks

[glacial steeple]

armor you also get from armor clicks, which like, the armor doesnt rlly matter, but it gives breakthroufh

so click those

add a better gun also

[uncut sparrow]

for tanks i need breakthrough soft attack and armor

[glacial steeple]

no

just like break, attack

everything else optional

[uncut sparrow]

speed?

[glacial steeple]

break you can also have too much of

it like keeps you from getting crit while attacking

[glacial steeple]

up to preference

you should upgrade chassis if you want to do a speedier build

[uncut sparrow]

are rail guns good

yo sorry for asking so many questions

[keen hemlock]

uh i dont think so

[glacial steeple]

depends on your enemy

[keen hemlock]

neither are super heavies

[glacial steeple]

it debuffs your enemy in combat

it gets better the better your enemy is with modifiers

[keen hemlock]

^

so later in the game

ig

[glacial steeple]

no

just macro skill based

[uncut sparrow]

and why on some region me and ai have same plane design same number of planes and still on my side it says lower air defense lower air attack it makes no sense

[neat widget]

it like reduces the enemy's stats by 10% when it is in range

[keen hemlock]

isnt it good for anti naval invasions

[keen hemlock]

do you know what it is for super heavies?

[vapid gate]

how do i get rid of this request?
i tried selling the initial planes in reserve but do i need to wait until someone buys them all?

[neat widget]

16

[keen hemlock]

i wouldnt say thats worth it

[austere roost]

they also reduce fort effects and other things

it's nice to have but honestly it's really only germany and ussr who can use it efficiently

https://hoi4.paradoxwikis.com/Land_units#Railway_Artillery

[neat widget]

why?

[austere roost]

super heavy rgs remove 33% of encirclement and 50% fort effectiveness

[austere roost]

cuz you can't use rgs to reduce atlantic wall encirclement during d-day

[neat widget]

you can have 1 factory on a railway gun for half a year and you get one gun

[glacial steeple]

you start with a wing of 12 naval bombers as new zealand

[neat widget]

you can

[glacial steeple]

every wing needs 100 planes

[neat widget]

and the atlantic wall doesn't exist in hoi4

[glacial steeple]

disband the wing, or get more planes for it

both are fine, the bombers suck

[neat widget]

plus it still reduces other stats by 10-16% and entrenchment by 20-33%

[vapid gate]

ya i put them for sale after removing the wing and it's still there

[austere roost]

yeah but like it's mainly for continental warfare

[glacial steeple]

unpause

[austere roost]

microing them in the pacific is a nightmare

[vapid gate]

for how long

[glacial steeple]

day tick

[rose plover]

why isnt that a thing that india get set free like all other minions from UK when they go for king/fascist/communists

[glacial steeple]

bmh can you make the perfect naval defense, i dont think its breakable

[vapid gate]

worked thanks

[austere roost]

idk

i don't play mp

[glacial steeple]

mines+coastal fort+mech+fort thingy

the building

[austere roost]

so like a naval maginot?

[glacial steeple]

AA

[glacial steeple]

yes but it works because naval cant be done from sides

so your fort effectiveness isnt getting cooked

also into like mountain ideally

[austere roost]

hm but you can use strat bombing on them

[glacial steeple]

static AA will help no

also still forced attrition from fort thing

building

and extra penalty from mines

[neat widget]

well you can demolish some number of forts with strategic bombers

mines can be, well, minesweeped

but yeah

[glacial steeple]

slowly

[neat widget]

that's the closest thing you get to a perfect naval defense

[glacial steeple]

and you also need naval invasion waves so

[neat widget]

give me enough ic and i should be able to destroy any defense

[austere roost]

it's just you can move around islands

[glacial steeple]

infinite IC offense vs infinite ground IC defense

no air for defense so you like have a chance

[neat widget]

the maximum amount of fort bonus that can be overcome is like 225%

[glacial steeple]

naval invasion penalty, if its a mointain tile terrain too

so kinda not real

[austere roost]

but like isn't this only really useful for gibraltar?

[glacial steeple]

mountain is possible in iran, usa, mexico, peru etc

[austere roost]

but uk doesn't need that

[glacial steeple]

well i want to know

[glacial steeple]

iran vs uk fr

(its too much IC sink)

[austere roost]

no modern topics

[glacial steeple]

uk

they get wargoal

1939

on the we hate everyone path

[austere roost]

can't you just occupy saudi arabia for that?

[glacial steeple]

no they get wargoal

for fun

also its early

[austere roost]

oh wait you have to occupy hormuz on both sides

[glacial steeple]

yes thats oman

[austere roost]

yeah and uk occupies the south side already

[glacial steeple]

also doesnt work

they get wargoal on iraq and you

so theyre going to move through iraq

[austere roost]

and you can just move ships into hormuz before the war

[glacial steeple]

well you dont have IC

[austere roost]

i assume one 1918 bb is enough

[glacial steeple]

you only have until 1939 and you need ground units

or you die

[austere roost]

considering iran and iraq don't have navies

[neat widget]

( super-heavy artillery (25%) + medium flame tank (45%) + assault engineers (45%) ) / (1 - 0.5332 (super-heavy railway gun)) = 235%

[glacial steeple]

uk has all the odds besides like terrain

[neat widget]

Elevated Engineering Corps increases the super-heavy railway gun buff by 25%

[glacial steeple]

i need to sleep, you guys have fun debating silly coast fortifications

[neat widget]

So it's actually more like 330%

which is genuinely wild

Good night Casey

[austere roost]

does air advantage reduce fort effectiveness?

besides from destroying forts directly

[rancid pagoda]

cas

[austere roost]

also you forgot fort buster

[rancid pagoda]

if they have cas then yes

[errant chasm]

good night casey

[neat widget]

Yeah fort buster

But you also want to be force attacking when attacking mech divisions amphibiuosly

[austere roost]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nVxcKRY-5M0 any other buffs we forgot?

ironically mannstein is good for this job since he comes with fort buster

[neat widget]

the engineer leader trait also adds a buff

slight one, but still

[keen hemlock]

how do i get the nato symbols

nvm

[sharp folio]

Why are the allies so slow? Do i have to like do something to get them to do something? I've been fighting for like 6 years

Also how can i get rubber after the dutch east indies falls?

[fathom pulsar]

hello im new to the game, and i really do not get the mechanics. i've been trying to learn how to win wars but i just cant. i need tips on how to get stronger divisions and how to actually win wars

[fathom pulsar]

another thing apart from not knowing how to properly attack is whenever someone makes a break through in my front line they just instantly destroy me

[errant chasm]

well the most imporant thing is to make sure you have good production, logistics, and green air (aka lots of fighters and close air support planes)

make sure your divisions are equipped with weapons and have manpower

[scenic nacelle]

189 factories in 41 is crazy

[little cargo]

is it possible to create colab governments as communist without using the spy agency operation?

[scenic nacelle]

yes

wait for high compliance

80% i think?

[sharp folio]

Good or bad?

[scenic nacelle]

rlly bad

u should have like double

[supple quiver]

He prolly skipped 5 years plan

[tropic igloo]

whats wrong with this my troops keep getting melted by everything

[fathom pulsar]

i've mostly been doing the empire mod so theres no air support, i had this situation where i had like a lot more divisions that were also supplied and it was just a stalemate the whole time

also had a lot of manpower

i really dont know if its a skill issue or an issue with supplies and support stuff like that

[late river]

Just use default témplate gng

[flint cave]

Let help our fellow gamer lets help her recover

https://gofund.me/1f70279da

[proven cargo]

is molotov ribbentrop worth doing?

[vital geode]

Looks modded, no clue

Though support anti air is usually good to have

Line arty is usually mediocre

[tropic igloo]

road to 56

[vital geode]

I dont remember R56 looking like that

What is that cap

In either case, just do a standard 3x3 infantry (9 inf battalions that are 18 width) with support arty, support aa, and engineers

Attack with special forces or tank divisions

[uncut narwhal]

take out the line arty

[twin kayak]

where can I find my saves folder on mac ?

nvm

found it

[glacial steeple]

chat

[hoary glen]

You get an NAP, so you can be sure to take your time. If you are strong enough that you can beat the allies and could start with the Soviets if they declare on you at the same time you can skip it.

[proven cargo]

so its more a confidence and experience thing

[hoary glen]

Yeah

[hoary glen]

Refineries

[hoary glen]

You can take a look at the pins

[hoary glen]

That sounds like you have too few troops. If you have a small template of like 6-9 infantry per Template then you want to have at least 3 Divs per tile on the entire Frontline. Ideally 4-5 tho

[remote fractal]

I am looking to buy another DLC, and I want to know which one is the least broken and adds more flavour (I mostly play in Europe):
Arms Against tyranny, trial of allegiance, graveyard of empires, no compromise no surrender

bro picked up hoi4 because D, D & more D got boring

[remote fractal]

I've had hoi4 for years now

Got bored of Total war actually

[left mica]

And you dont have full dlcs

[remote fractal]

But why AAT?

[left mica]

fair enough

Lets you have mios

toa and goe sucks

[remote fractal]

No I've only hsd the financial freedom recently

[left mica]

Ncns gives you factions

[remote fractal]

Mios?

[left mica]

ngl just buy everything except for goe and toa

[remote fractal]

What are these abbreviations

[left mica]

graveyard and trial

mio is military industrial org

[remote fractal]

I see

[glacial steeple]

wordslop

[remote fractal]

I've seen recent dlcs being given mostly "overwhelmingly negative" why is that 😭

[twin kayak]

man, my navy was wiped after loading the save into my mac xD

anyway

[left mica]

People being mad about the dlcs being overpriced

Which is just

especially just for goe and toa

literally graveyard of paradox

[remote fractal]

Yeah i saw the price for ncns is insane

[left mica]

i bought the season pass

Lol

Pdx games are silly

You either buy all dlcs or not buy the game at all

[glacial steeple]

i mean i dont mind the model they just have to stop putting game mechanics behind it, it hinders future development/balancing so much

[left mica]

Yeah

but then again it makes it hard to earn money which is fair…

[glacial steeple]

like i understand that within our world companies look to make as much money as possible, but at least keep it from hindering development

[left mica]

i do architecture so i know how it feels to overwork for little pay

[glacial steeple]

people will buy content packs if they want to play the region, same for major dlcs mostly

[left mica]

idk

[glacial steeple]

just major dlcs are typically more played areas

[jade tulip]

great I have the plan activated but they are not sent for some reason? Why?

I tried waiting but it aint happening

[dusty sandal]

You seem to have enough transports so you must be lacking air supremacy

You need 75% or neutral air in all zones that the order goes through

[jade tulip]

I tried deleting the order and making it again, it was a bug, now it works, I had air superiority too, so that must have been it

[dusty sandal]

There is also a planning requirement for paradrops too. It's not instantaneous anymore

[jade tulip]

nevermind it still doesnt work lmao

[bold canopy]

u need air superior on the sea too? or only on where they go?

[dusty sandal]

You just have to wait 7days after creating the order. Dunno if it stacks with more divs assigned

[dusty sandal]

On the whole path
Or neutral air

[bold canopy]

ok like naval

[jade tulip]

I have 97% air superiority on southern england, 100% on english channel and Its neutral on western france

and my planning is done

and it still aint working

[dusty sandal]

Might be dumb but does your template allow to be dropped ?

[jade tulip]

yeah

[dusty sandal]

The transports must not have any missions assigned
The orders cannot have more than 3 paras assigned to them (because you only have 150 transports)

[jade tulip]

no missions are assigned to transport planes and Im doing 3 parachute orders, 2 of them have 3 divs, the last one has 2

can the air base be overcrowded?

[dusty sandal]

I can't think of anything else

[dusty sandal]

Shouldn't cause an issue but try to not do that

In any case bases must never be overcrowded as efficiency drops exponentially with it and is capped at 0% if the airbase is 50% above cap

[jade tulip]

well I moved transport planes to a port where they wont be overcrowded and now it worked

[dusty sandal]

I guess I learned something new

Paras can't drop from a OvC airport

[bold canopy]

OvC?

[jade tulip]

overcrowded

[visual yacht]

whats the point of faction theatres

[glacial steeple]

yes

[hexed parcel]

im super new player (<100h) anyone has any doc where i can see how to properly play germany like idk a research order, focus order, production engeenering templates etc? ive seen many yt videos but it is easier for me when i have smth written that i can go back to again and again

usually i capitulate yugoslavia poland france low countries norway and got some other countries in my faction with ease

but when it comes to 1941-1942 or smth and i start a war with the russian i always lose and brits are always a problem

i have no dlc and im running just the base game

:D

this is not complete vanilla but for a vanilla based mod and mp

but most of the things work in sp aswell, u just have to addept a few parts

also the tank templates in here are not needed for sp

u can just look at the templates pinned in this channel

and designs

[twin kayak]

I have a wargoal, but can't declare war

why is that ?

[glacial steeple]

youre a puppet i think

or allied

[hexed parcel]

thank you

[bitter idol]

Anyone have current templates for 2026 witch all dlc?

[jade tulip]

why it says japan is justifying against me

literally theres nothing in diplomacy tab that says

[visual plank]

a focus probably

do you have any puppets in south east asia?

[livid spruce]

Its through focuses

[jade tulip]

well it just disappeared

and nothing happened

lmao

[livid spruce]

Yes

Thats how ot usually goes

It

[inner sparrow]

sp templates are pinned in the channel for current templates

mp are in the doc for germany

[livid spruce]

They get a focus in a way or another related to u but nothing happens upon completion

I mean no war happens

[final estuary]

Yo I'm doing Iran run

I did saadabad pact alr almost did everything I'm focusing on military

[shrewd stump]

Is my tank good?

[remote fractal]

Should you have fighters in carriers or just naval bombers?

[fathom thistle]

Navs

[late river]

Guys

Am i tuff

??

[late river]

If it shoots then yes

[dusty sandal]

you have way too much breakthrough, half of it is basically never being used
same for the armor
and jeez, the cost of that thing

it's twice the cost but half the stats

[glacial steeple]

breakthrough and speed are their priorities

[dusty sandal]

speed is fine, but brk ?

[glacial steeple]

idk, you can get 700 break and more speed tho :3c

[dusty sandal]

from cairo to karthoum without refueling in 5 days

how do I make a navel scout plane I cant not put a main gun on and all the guns disallow recon.

Out of curiosity is this division good for stomping singleplayer? Can I upgrade it further?

[twin kayak]

Be ready to receive criticism for using line arty

[crimson sentinel]

yea yea I know 🥂

I’m a puppet ?

its related to them being a puppet at least, IDK

Hey guys are there any upcoming updates that will give unique focuses to other Latin counties aside from only 3 counties there ?

[glacial steeple]

theres 5 with focus trees, then bolivia has content but no focus tree

but no nothing announced

[inner sparrow]

its bad for multiple reasons

can work in sp if u do other things right but its still bad

[crimson sentinel]

what should I do instead of it?

[keen ivy]

why no scout option

[inner sparrow]

u have a spaa in your division as armor meme for spacemarines, but your spaa doesnt give u enough AA to reduce cas debuff while also not giving u enough armor to not be pierced so its just useless ic, line arty is jsut useless aswell, ur div has 230 soft only while being 28w. Ur better off just using pure inf

[inner sparrow]

it says it legit there, u have to put it in first slot so it counts as main armament

[dusty sandal]

no t nearly enough breakthrough to stomp anything
it'll work but barely

[vital plinth]

Chile, Argentina , Brazil has focus tree no ? Which others ?

[keen ivy]

all the different thing that I hover over say that you cant use scouting with it

[inner sparrow]

brother

put the module u have in 2nd place

as first

and its a scout plane

all u need

[keen ivy]

it literally doesnt let me

[glacial steeple]

paraguay and uruguay

[keen ivy]

nvm I found the issues clown

[glacial steeple]

you can just have it as secondary with 2x lmg

[keen ivy]

Its because small planes cant be scouts only medium which I didnt know

[glacial steeple]

or medium frame

[vital plinth]

Ah ok ,what does boliva has of content but no focus tree ?

And is there mods that maybe give something? Wanted to play Latin America and conquer and build a powerful South America but I can’t get much core

[glacial steeple]

bunch of events, special formable

also horrible, horrible debuffs

[glacial steeple]

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3485554076

ok i didnt link the main mod

i just googled it on mobile but whatever you can figure it out

[keen ivy]

also any ideas on how to flush out the jap navy?

im trying to reduce the japanese navy for the nuke thing

[vital plinth]

Ah ok thx
A last thing I found the site that shows foramble nations that mentions a lot of options but then another page that shows formable nations in South America that shows more names but no map of what areas , do you know if there is more details of this stuff it was on hoi4 wiki or do I need to find videos of people trying it or else where ?

If I set USA to go facist will it join axis ?

[fathom thistle]

If anyone tested this which will give me more hp, individual excellency or large units tactics (I'm making HP meme template so yeah)

[raw magnet]

how do I write letters to players?

[inner sparrow]

depends what width. IE at 36w gives more than large unit at 35.7w

but only like 20

[sacred patrol]

hello can i ask if you have a heavy tank template

[carmine geode]

ig.. i will chill out without poland 🙏

unless. i could attack italy and germany once they are figthing wtih soviets :P

[hardy elm]

did u form it with hung or austria

[carmine geode]

yes ues

yes yes all of its from hungary

[final estuary]

YO HOW DO I PLAY AS IRAN CUH I'M GETTING JUMPED

😭

[serene karma]

💀

Slightly realistic

Got no advice

[final estuary]

anyone else

The Brits just insta warred me out of NOWHERE

[keen hemlock]

Yes that’s what they did historically

[sick ginkgo]

Yo

Why my navy

Kinda disappeared

I tried to do sea lion

[vital plinth]

Trying it out too focusing on Persian empire road getting the debuffs away and building troops that mainly I can use without the extra fancy stuff, I’m getting the extra land from afgistan and Iraq first gives a little civs and regions. thinking of focusing Afganistan first but the low supply is an issue so you need to plan encirclement like lure them out of mountain regards to Afganistan. Iraq for some reason is guaranteed by British lol

[sick ginkgo]

Spammed this

With better techs

[sharp tapir]

As Mongolia, is it even possible to win the Battle of Tauran?

[vital plinth]

The Shah route where I have the shah son take reign

[final estuary]

Same

[sick ginkgo]

Had like 7 of this + some starter ships and separated submarines into another group

But they all drowned

[final estuary]

Someone said he knows a person who plays Iran a lot

[vital plinth]

Is Iraq guaranteed by the British in your game ?

[final estuary]

No usually they go hashemite

[sharp tapir]

It's a border skirmish at the start of the game with Japan in Manchukuo, if you win, you can take a start needed to form Greater Mongolia, but no matter what I try, I can't seem to win it. As I said it's in early 1936.

[vital plinth]

Did you get the regions of Iraq and Afghanistan through the focus ?

[final estuary]

Even when I'm playing ahist I still get jumped smh

[final estuary]

Yes

[vital plinth]

What year you get jumped ?

[vital plinth]

Because you need war with British to get the other countries they own to form the empire and get cores

[final estuary]

1941

I focused on eco too much

[bold canopy]

unlucky for checo who give state to germany

[final estuary]

@neat widget

2 new Iran players to uh coach

[vital plinth]

Ah ok I wouldn’t do too much just what gives few civs and constructions boost and focus on the politician stuff there is a lot to go through but also good buffs when completed

[final estuary]

I'm doing this as like a 2nd campaign I could do btw

[vital plinth]

A focus gives 2 3x3 diva too and getting those Turkey land and others will boost you a lot and when you get core even better

[vital plinth]

Ah ok fair I stopped right before I went to war with Afganistan I failed the encirclement kinda trapped so have to do retry old saves will try play Iran again soon

[final estuary]

👍🏿

Genuinely hate playing historical austria

[vital plinth]

Oh I play many different countries usually following guides to learn the path through issue is the timing when playing on the own suddenly a major is guaranteeing the country you need lol

Also Iran can get partial mobilization very fast too because of civil war which is nice to build some mills faster

[final estuary]

Wait you don't do anything abt the civil war

Uh

[carmine geode]

yep

[vital plinth]

Nope I had 2 I just use horses to get the victory points fast then I win easy only down side is I lose some guns which is needed with such a weak country but still is ok to not waste political power and remove the debuff

[final estuary]

Huh

2

How

[glacial steeple]

ill help you when im home (remind me in like 5-6 hours if you still need it)

[final estuary]

Prolly not just DM me a Google doc on what to do and what not to do

[vital plinth]

The one you get when you have the shah path

The other one comes when I pick this zootism to remove the Islam traditions which gives -10% resseach and higher advisor cost gets ekspensiv and need to improve resseach speed to catch up to major powers that have head start

But it starts civil war 2

[final estuary]

Ohh the Zoroastrian path

[vital plinth]

Yeah would still take to remove the other debuff that decreas stability

[somber mortar]

how do i get the planning bonus without having a front line. I try setting up a field marshal with offensive plan and unassign my general but it didn't give planning bonus

[carmine geode]

im speechless about this border gore.

[uncut narwhal]

that isnt even that bad

[carmine geode]

i dunnoo 😭

[jagged hull]

Are you trying to do Otto-man achievement

[bold canopy]

do u join allied?

[jade tulip]

how much time a truce lasts?

[carmine geode]

i dunno about that achievenemt i just wanted to core whole empire from decisions menu 😭 🙏

[carmine geode]

well yeah since they invited me

i dont wanna clean whole europe as always I do 😭

[jagged hull]

Well you did but you can take turkey and Bulgaria, Greece

[bold canopy]

https://tenor.com/view/john-krasinski-oh-no-shame-on-you-nah-fail-gif-15679323

[carmine geode]

🙄 so i had to join soviets? theyu inited me too

[bold canopy]

it is only because i hate allied xd

[jagged hull]

No you can make the central powers

[carmine geode]

greece is with soviets bulgaria is alone turey alone too

[carmine geode]

aaa

[jagged hull]

Are they getting guaranteed

[carmine geode]

those 2 no but i cant justify because iim with democrats in alliance 🙄

[bold canopy]

https://tenor.com/view/this-is-my-kingdom-cum-cum-fridge-gif-22354569

[carmine geode]

hahahahaha fr

[jagged hull]

How much is the world tension

[carmine geode]

51

[jagged hull]

You can justify on those two

I know the British would declare war on the Soviet Union so you are prepared

[carmine geode]

i bet they wont

[jagged hull]

Well I could show you how I play Austrian empire

After all I'm available

[carmine geode]

the thing is i made this empire from hungary xd

[jagged hull]

Ah well I will show you how I do it as Austria

I'm here to help you

[carmine geode]

its okeyyyy

im happy with my game :>

[jagged hull]

Ok

I will be open to teach how navy works

[carmine geode]

i know a bit of navy tooo

[jagged hull]

Ok but I was planning on to help beginners how navy works

[carmine geode]

its fine 😊

[jagged hull]

im still porud

[uncut narwhal]

are those the undeletable italian divisions?

[jagged hull]

Yes

But I put them on the island so I abandoned them

[uncut narwhal]

just force attack them into mountains

or make them encircled

[sacred patrol]

i can never make germany look good

[raw magnet]

Looks good, i like the purple

[sacred patrol]

thats the french germany

[raw magnet]

Why is it bad to use line artillery in an infantry build?

[hardy elm]

its good for soft attack tbf

but best width is 18 and its hard to get that with line arty and good org

[raw magnet]

Because I was struggling to invade Bulgaria without line artillery

In my first multilayer game

[sacred patrol]

this is how long the war is taking

[raw magnet]

But last time I did use 2 line artillery i pretty much mowed Bulgaria as greece

[sacred patrol]

am also naval bombing air

[hardy elm]

how tf do u beat turkey as greece its genuinely impossible

naval invasion doesnt work if u put a port they garrison if u dont they just kill u

[raw magnet]

The strat i use is 3 artillery divisions on the left side and streatch their lines

[sacred patrol]

at least youre not in a war like

[raw magnet]

That's why I use line artillery

[hardy elm]

wdym

[raw magnet]

To invade Bulgaria early game, you want to duplicate the infantry division and put in 2 line artillery, use this division template on units, and have them on the left side of the border, once the war starts make sure you have them attacking from the left up

[hardy elm]

i mean greece vs turkey

[raw magnet]

You want to streatch the Bulgarian army as much as possible and encircle any units

[hardy elm]

its impossible as greece

[raw magnet]

Oh

[lofty ravine]

how can i defeat these doomstacks? i triggered a civil war in saudi arabia knowing they would join spains faction who im at war with, but i didnt expect their reinforcements to arrive so quickly

[raw magnet]

Hm

[lofty ravine]

and they have perfect supply because they have the port and saudi made mecca the capital

[raw magnet]

Usually you want to encircle them as much as possible to weaken them

[keen hemlock]

id get tanks or mountianeers and cas

[lofty ravine]

i have a bit of cas there

[raw magnet]

I always struggle with Turkey because I keep being told to not use line artillery in infantry

[lofty ravine]

spain hasnt learnt their bloody lesson

youd think they would after losing 1.3 million men trying to defend yugoslavia

[oak jasper]

Line artillery isn't that much better than infantry in soft attack per combat width, and lacks the breakthrough or HP to justify its inclusion. It may deal more damage, but you'll take lots of casualties and equipment damage in return (the low breakthrough/HP issue).

If you can't afford tanks, your best options for offense are 35-36W special forces divisions or 35-36W infantry divisions.

[sacred patrol]

i just need help getting air support in ja[an

[oak jasper]

Your mission efficiency is garbage. Best guess is you're flying at the edge of your range from Okinawa.

[sacred patrol]

its not my fault bro am austro hungary

[oak jasper]

Complaints do not improve mission efficiency. You are still, in effect, only flying 14 fighters and a single bomber over the Home Islands. You're better off resting your fighters and waiting until you have airfields on the Home Islands themselves.

[rose plover]

if it says in the achievement the ussr has it to be the ussr or is tsar russia also fine?

[sacred patrol]

may i ask you something

how do i get them

[oak jasper]

By invading Japan?

[sacred patrol]

i cant do naval

[oak jasper]

Then get a navy. Or build heavy fighters based from Okinawa/Taiwan/Korea and launch paratroopers.

While heavy fighters are significantly less efficient than single-engine fighters, they will at least have better range.

[sacred patrol]

so its either navy or full air reform

[oak jasper]

It's almost as though oceans are substantial natural barriers, yes.

[sacred patrol]

and what if i dont even have naval access

to even build navy

and i dont mean i have no civs to build em

[oak jasper]

Then invade somebody with naval access or get a strong ally into the war.

[sacred patrol]

got the USSR

[oak jasper]

Question: do you have the aircraft designer DLC?

[sacred patrol]

nope

just demanded this part

only parts it was giving me

[oak jasper]

Hm. Then, absent the strong option of "just ignore Japan", you'll be stuck with heavy fighters + tac bombers on port strike to try to wear down Japan's navy.

You will still need convoys to resupply paratroopers, so get some dockyards built in Korea.

[sacred patrol]

am doing that rn

maybe i can borrow a ship from the brits

like licence

wait

cant i just build a air base?

[oak jasper]

Yes, that too.

[sacred patrol]

alright gonna do that since i dont garuantee to keep the koreans forever

[sacred patrol]

btw i did goverment collab 3 on japan

@oak jasper yoo it worked

[glacial steeple]

doesnt exist

[carmine geode]

NAHHH these borderrs..

[glacial steeple]

jumpscare

[sacred patrol]

paratrooping wont work

[vital geode]

Doesnt have 70% air superiority, wonders why they can't drop

Green air isnt 70%

[sacred patrol]

mf not that

i already did paratroopers and their asses got them dead even them

[vital geode]

Oh

[carmine thunder]

POV: You relied on your southern allies

[vital geode]

I just saw that, usually people wonder why they can't drop

[sacred patrol]

worst prt

japan war blocked me from all rubber sourcse

[glacial steeple]

theyre probably bad

[vital geode]

Blockade moment

[glacial steeple]

pro advice force attack and dont use bad troops

[sacred patrol]

no access to rubber

[glacial steeple]

germany?

make refineries if ger

[sacred patrol]

austrohungary

[glacial steeple]

same answer but you get less buffs for it

[sacred patrol]

without gotten you know the dlc

[sacred patrol]

would navar bombers help me if i also make a heavy ship?

[carmine geode]

huhh

how

i thought getting france is easy

nouuu 😭 u are even on 2 fronts

gg

damn..

[carmine thunder]

I did take france then lost it to naval invasion snakes

[carmine geode]

oh

what year was it?

takign brits is easy by ditracting with the navy u already have

and then

when they are repairing

u get naval zone control

and attackkkkkkkkk

[carmine thunder]

I did do naval build but lost against british navy

[carmine geode]

well yeah and once they are gone repairing if u did decent damage u can invade

or bomb them with ur air

i can recommend u a video step bu step on hjow to play with germany if u want

[carmine thunder]

I mostly know how to play but idk good naval designs I just put most expensive things i see in the slots

[glacial steeple]

cat dispenser is the third best player in the world btw

[carmine thunder]

and if only my allies in the south weren't incompetent I could have capped soviets

[carmine geode]

guys anyone know why hitler is subject of japan and where he is? 🙏

[austere roost]

So ai Uk is the second best player?

[carmine geode]

oh damn i see

[glacial steeple]

i thought this was you

[glacial steeple]

right after nono and jondonbongon

[carmine thunder]

pfff that was multiplayer thats irrelevant

[carmine geode]

now this is interesting

[plucky fiber]

can anyone teach me how to declare war to a country and invade them?

and conquer them

and make them MINE

[carmine geode]

it aint that hard

[plucky fiber]

i am new

[carmine geode]

ahh

[plucky fiber]

😔

[carmine geode]

so there is so much to learn then 😭

[plucky fiber]

nono i already watched 300 vids

[plucky fiber]

hm

life or in game?

[carmine geode]

idk what to teach exactly

[plucky fiber]

how to invade countries

[carmine geode]

well it depends on coutnries badly

[plucky fiber]

if i use the fourth reich

spoilers

if i use the third reich

@carmine geode

Jzennifer

Jennifer

[plucky fiber]

https://tenor.com/view/markiplier-shocked-emoji-gif-7378562683267874944

ok ok ok

i MIGHT have understood

[night finch]

anyone know a good mod for "painting resources"

[plucky fiber]

me

[night finch]

tell

[scenic nacelle]

Tf u mean

[hoary bough]

How do I sink uk fleet as Germany? I mean I obviously don’t have enough time to produce tanks, air AND navy at the same time right?

[charred fable]

Are nav bombers still the carrier plane of choice?

[austere roost]

Yeah

You can put heavy machine guns on it too now

[fathom thistle]

You don't need to destroy the whole fleet you just need to maintain a stable supremacy. As for your navy production you only really need 2 things. Torpedo dd's for you schreening ships and for you capital convertible BB's

You could also go for carriers but they tend to be targeted heavily. So sticking to converted BB's is fine.

[austere roost]

it's best to have one capital ship per cv

so you can build roach bbs for that or roach heavy cruisers if you lack the ic

[hoary bough]

So I can play with 2 starter bb the Germans already have and just convert them and I’ll be fine?

[flat abyss]

I 'm new to hoi 4 and I would like some help with the game

[hardy elm]

HOW TO BEET TURKEY AS GREECE

[carmine geode]

what I do is super good tactic of abusing AI repair

[flat abyss]

how do i move my troops?

[vital geode]

Have you played and watched the tutorials?

[carmine geode]

like annoy em with ur fleet make em go repair (ur fleet may sink) but just have at least some fleet for asserying dominance

and once u do

invadeeeeeeeeeee

[hardy elm]

spam naval bombers

[flat abyss]

i am doing it right now but my tiny little brain do not understand the words

[vital geode]

Then maybe watch the official beginners tutorial on the official hoi4 channel

[hardy elm]

tbf its a lot to process first time

[vital geode]

It is in the pins

[hardy elm]

id say watch tutorials and tommykay

[flat abyss]

yea right

[vital geode]

I wouldn't watch tommykay, but the beginners tutorial is mostly fine

[hardy elm]

hes good

simplifies

supply is everything

[carmine geode]

waht i would to is to follow bittersteel germany gameplayu

[vital geode]

He complains about supply and acts like you can't fix it

I have hardly ever needed to build supply hubs in this game

[hardy elm]

most of the time its valid

he has bad supply in russia, china, scandinavia

[austere roost]

if you're in europe you don't need to build supply hubs unless you're fighting in sapmi land

[hardy elm]

and thats why its tough

[vital geode]

Russia is fine

You just need to rush the next supply hub

[hardy elm]

not when ur past moscow

[vital geode]

If you can't you fallback and try again

[vital geode]

Well the russians are starving as well

I have never needed to build a supply hub on the eastern front

I have never built a supply hub playing as Japan

[austere roost]

just build supply planes

germany starts with that tech

[vital geode]

The only supply hub I build was in the Shanxi region as Communist China, but I no longer do that

I build a port near the Libyan-Egyptian border which is the only "supply hub" I need

Maybe don't stack 50 divisions in 1 undersupplied region

[hardy elm]

how is ts not a scam 💀

[hoary bough]

Yea and then die due to uk supply blockade?

[vital geode]

It is

he clicked a sussy link and lost his account

[hardy elm]

ofc

[carmine geode]

what supply blockade?

💀

i dont have that

[hoary bough]

They’ll sink all your convoys

[carmine geode]

sigh let me show ya

u know that

when u take city

for exampel

u get supply from country

[hoary bough]

It’s not infinite

And considering that with the latest patches the uk holds their entire army on the island it’s not like you can steamroll them like before

[vital geode]

Air superiority and CAS does wonders

[carmine geode]

look

[austere roost]

<@&846894118219022336> plz delete the scam thanks

uk is absolutely a steamroll if you land before 1941

[hoary bough]

Tf? What did I even do?

[austere roost]

oh i meant the scam screeshot guy from a few minutes ago

[hoary bough]

Alr

[carmine geode]

and then simply u push

[hoary bough]

Alr I’ll give it a try then

[carmine geode]

if u want i can send the video

[devout canopy]

Im a noob as Argentina. Im spending like 26 factories for imports. Is that normal? Almost all of it is steel going into infantry weapons

[hoary bough]

Why are there so few divs

[carmine geode]

because u inaved navaly with 12

he has tanks

he doesnt need any more since tanks have breaktrough and u can simply encircle

and then just finish off with 1 army

[hoary bough]

No I meant

[carmine geode]

litearlly 1 army is enough

[hoary bough]

Why didn’t the uk put their entire army there

It’s usually the case for me

[carmine geode]

it never has whole army there so soon

its 1940

[vital geode]

When do you usually invade, just wondering

[glacial steeple]

less units with more quality is far better for sealion

[vital geode]

Remember, if UK goes Home Defense, they can get spawn ins

[glacial steeple]

supply is limited

[carmine geode]

yeee

thats why 6 tanks got there

[hoary bough]

Well about 1940 as well, but I played Germany only a couple times and it was a while ago

[carmine geode]

they are op

[vital geode]

I have thrown sealions by putting in way too many armies

[hoary bough]

Today i wanna give it a shot again

[vital geode]

2 armies and a tank force is more than enough

[carmine geode]

fr

idk or me uk on land is always ez

the sea is what makes them strong

not enough of that u can even get this

[hoary bough]

Ok I’ll try not to send the entire population of Berlin then

[carmine geode]

😊

good luck

[hoary bough]

Thx

[glacial steeple]

this is like the most broken button in the game

its not even funny

[carmine geode]

The fact u get against almost every country in europe

😊

[austere roost]

soviet agitprop also has similar things for 180 days and not limited to a certain country's cores

[glacial steeple]

its not as busted as ger many

who also get like insane generals, insane other buffs

[austere roost]

10% atk + speed, 7.5% breakthrough

[glacial steeple]

STATE modifier

[austere roost]

anyone gets insane generals if you can fight in scw

[glacial steeple]

its an additional multiplicative modifier

for ussr its like country modifier which sucks

[austere roost]

if you can beat germany then you have no sweat beating balkans and italy

[glacial steeple]

state means that everything gets multiplied by 1.1x

so its busted

insane

[austere roost]

well i guess you can cap uk in 45 days

although tbh germany is crippled after 45 days too, the rest is just mopup

[glacial steeple]

you dont get debuffs when you lose it tho

its also possible to do on barb and stuff

and iirc the modifier can get better

so its like, broken af

[austere roost]

i mean for the soviet agitprop buff

180 days is a lot because germany is crippled after 45 days anyway

anyway casey after i get back home i have something very funny for you that i did to germany

[glacial steeple]

give me 2 hours

i think

vic3 is my cover up for being away from home, the masses must think im just really locked in fr

(thats only sometimes)

[austere roost]

I'll be back home in like 8 hours lmao

I forgot to screenshot it yesterday but I can go back to the save

[glacial steeple]

smh imagine being away that long

(i say as im not home)

[magic nimbus]

is it an effective strat to spam out civs as hard as possible then pivot to mils after a few years into it? genuinely havent learned to play this game properly

i know for singleplayer it doesnt really matter as the AI is kinda stupid, but still has me wondering

[austere roost]

build mils 3.5 years before "the war"

so basically mils from day one if you join during danzig

and mils from 1938 if you're ussr/usa

the goal isn't to build the most mils

the goal is to have your mils produce as much equipment as you can

[magic nimbus]

i see. i mean my thought process was always to try snowball the civs as much as possible then convert to mils as needed

[austere roost]

well that's "suboptimal"

sure you can do it but it will leave you weaker when the war begins

[inner sparrow]

it depends a lot on what country ur playing for mp, sp u already know

and also ruleset

for example if ur playing ger and france is allowed to mainland hold with divs from allies and so on, u are kinda forced to do mils day one

meanwhile if ur ger and france will be free, ur better off building civs for a bit instead of mils day one

[vital plinth]

If I make USA facist will they automatically join axis and also the war later ?

[bold canopy]

how do i lunch that?

[austere roost]

you need to build it like other military equipment first

[jagged hull]

i was thinking to do german as the iron maiden world conqest can anyone help me

[glacial steeple]

hi chat im home

[austere roost]

discord mods going out of home and touch grass and talk to girls challenge: impossible

[jagged hull]

Can anyone help me to do German world conquest as iron maiden

[glacial steeple]

[austere roost]

[glacial steeple]

is this a real place

[fathom thistle]

looks peaceful

[fathom thistle]

anything specific you need help with?

[timid drum]

(Trigger warning. I ask a lot of questions and it’s apparently “overwhelming”)

[vital plinth]

Hey guys I’m using 2 big fleets to patrol to secure my naval invasion against Japan , but one of my fleet with cairrers locate ( when they detect and are scanning ) fast but my other fleet which doesn’t have carriers but a lot of early heavry ships and cruisers destroyers etc takes forever to scan a ship they detect what am I doing wrong ?
Both navy leaders have the spotter 20% ability

[jagged hull]

Well first I need to try to get eva Braun The iron maiden

And this is actually my first time to do it

[fathom thistle]

do you have spotting ships? it helps

[glacial steeple]

ask

[fathom thistle]

Two German demands must be rejected: the Rhineland, Austria, Sudetenland, Memel etc.
Then you can declare war and once your surrender progress is high enough it should trigger the conspiracy

[glacial steeple]

over text is usually nice

[jagged hull]

Ok so Sudetenland and Memel those are the two I'm trying to get rejected

Do I have to be in a war

[dusty sandal]

the carrier fleet has way better detection because, you know, carriers have planes and such

spotting speed and chance is based on speed, surface/sub detection (depending on what you're trying to locate/evade) and your own visibility (surface or sub visibility)

in fleets, these stats are averaged around the ships that compose the fleet

[jagged hull]

To get Memel to get rejected

[dusty sandal]

you need lithuania to form poland-lithuania, become communist and join the comintern or be guaranteed by the allies

[fathom thistle]

Not yet, after you get 2 rejects you want to declare, it doesnt have to be allies, prefferably if you get reject from austria you could declare on them and let them push till that conspiracy triggers

[dusty sandal]

as far as I know it's the only times I know for sure where lithuania says no

[vital plinth]

Both my fleets has the same kind of stats with destroyers cruisers and heavry crusiers and early heavry ships

[dusty sandal]

ships categories can have different designs

[jagged hull]

Ah but that will not work I have to play non historical

[vital plinth]

But one has 3 cairrers that spots fast the other has none and is the one that spots ultra slow
