[dusty sandal]

you can have multiple types of crappy destroyers or insane cruisers paired with an empty one

as I said, carriers have planes

planes spot faster

[fathom thistle]

why?

[dusty sandal]

there's a reason there's a plane catapult module for cruisers and capitals that gives detection

[vital plinth]

I know but I’m using the basic ships at start for USA and split them in 2 big ones

[jagged hull]

You see if Austria still fascist they will still accept annex by Germany

No matter

[vital plinth]

With one having carriers 3 in total that scan very fast the other is jsut stuck in a scanning mode forever

[fathom thistle]

did you delete your military beforehand?

[vital plinth]

And I checked majority of the ships in both are the same some few has a extra plane module or mine laying else it’s the same

[dusty sandal]

they have different designs

and carriers spot faster

that's it. There's nothing else

[jagged hull]

No

Why

[fathom thistle]

that's how you want to achieve your rejects by deleting your army so there is a bigger chance they reject

[vital plinth]

By spot you know I mean where they have located a fleet and is scanning right ?

[dusty sandal]

yes

that's what spotting is indeed

[jagged hull]

But so I have to continue to put troops down and try to delete and get rejected?

[vital plinth]

Ah thx just checking if it wasn’t misunderstood il try recheck again

Does 2-4 ships having different screen module make big difference in a fleet with 80 ships ?

And yeah the classses are different in terms of names class etc and designs but modules looks almost similar or similar In most

[fathom thistle]

yes once you start the focuses that demand territory you want to delete your whole armies

[vital plinth]

@dusty sandal I sent a converted cairrers to the one with no cairrers it starting going faster again or moving working now thx 🙏

[dusty sandal]

since the calculation stats round up every ship's stat, it's better to have small taskforces dedicated to spotting instead as, otherwise, higher stats will be drowned in awful detection stats, low speed and high visibility

in singleplayer, a single destroyer patrolling on never engage order is usually enough, though you can create dedicated cruisers for it

[vital plinth]

Weird it doesn’t move at all without carrier tho

[jagged hull]

Ah ok so when I did the research on the focus tree of annex Austria and pause the game so I had to delete all my troops right

[fathom thistle]

yes delete them before its finished

[dusty sandal]

prolly because the fleet you're trying to spot has way better stats at evasion
carriers, due to their planes, spot them faster. The same can be done with overhead air cover, although a bit less effective than carriers

[jagged hull]

But do I need to be at war and have about 10% of surrender

[fathom thistle]

you dont do any war before you get 2 rejected

[jagged hull]

Oh

But I thought I had to be having 10%

While at war

[fathom thistle]

yes, once you are in war

but you need to get 2 rejected or the conspiracy wont trigger

for surrender progress you can make a fall back line and let them push

[jagged hull]

So I need 2 rejection to get the conspiracy

[fathom thistle]

before you declare war yes

[jagged hull]

Ah ok so I know one nation to declare war on Holland

[glacial steeple]

thats not really relevant

its harder to get 2 fails than find any nation to declare on

[jagged hull]

So Austria instead?

And memel

@fathom thistle

[fathom thistle]

sure

[jagged hull]

But I have to do economic growth instead

[fathom thistle]

for this scenario yea

[arctic stream]

does anyone here have any tips in how to fo byzantime? I genuinely can't beat turkey

[glacial steeple]

have you tried getting naval supremacy

[fathom thistle]

I wouldnt really risk going for 4th year plan since u kinda need to deal with civil war and also a war

and depending on how well you do that can take some time

[arctic stream]

Yh and I tried naval invading but I was shoved off immediately 💔

[jagged hull]

True but there might be chance where they won't be a civil war

[glacial steeple]

naval invade around the unit instead of into it to kill it

[fathom thistle]

build supply hub next to the border, that helps a lot, if you dont want to naval invade

[timid drum]

its alot to type XD

[glacial steeple]

its not a hard nation, but it is weak

[arctic stream]

ooh ill try that later thanks

[arctic stream]

alr ill also do that

I always forget about supply

[unborn adder]

Can someone help me with the basic game (9 hours)

im in helping lounge 2

[timid drum]

that do be what everyone say

[twin kayak]

this is probably not too helpful to declare war

[bold canopy]

how do i lunch taht with a plane?

[fathom pulsar]

that actually helps a lot i didnt know what the template was for

[jagged hull]

By the way thanks @fathom thistle for the tip

[fathom thistle]

anytime

[jagged hull]

But how can I get Austria to rejected to get annex

[fathom thistle]

after rejection you can manually justify

they shouldnt get guaranteed

[jagged hull]

But how can I get to rejected me

[fathom thistle]

delete your armies

it's still rng so it might take few tries

[jagged hull]

Ah ok so delete my army while the focus tree of annex Austria half way done right

And declare war on Austria and try to get Memel they will rejected it because I had about 10% surrender rate

[fathom thistle]

I tried to get those 2 rejections before declaring war, idk if it also works this way

You might as well try

[jagged hull]

Ok

I will tell you if it worked

[bold canopy]

how do i lunch a rocket?

[timid drum]

for USA is concentrated or dispersed industry better overall?

[fathom thistle]

production cap > production growth

[timid drum]

so concentrated?

(im new here)

[wet topaz]

I would Probbalr say dispersed

You get your factories so late that you benefit from the production base a lot more

Most counties though are concentrated. Germany, ussr, etc

[wet topaz]

They are strat bombers essentially

Set them over an air zone on strategic bombing

You can also select what you want them to target

[tight coral]

when are challenges coming back Bro

[austere roost]

concentrated is 99% of the time better than dispersed

dispersed is only better if you plan to stop playing the game in 1937 or if you switch production lines every other month

[uneven hinge]

Which is more important in a bomber plane, CAS or Strat Bombing?

[obsidian badger]

im guessing u using tac bombers

[uneven hinge]

Yeah

[obsidian badger]

cas

if u wanna strat bomb use large air frame

[austere roost]

strat bomb isn't really useful in sp

[twin kayak]

wait, I can get more than 3 of these guys ?

isn't the close circle limited ?

[uncut narwhal]

one gets kicked

[wicked plaza]

do yall know why i can see estonias completed focuses when i play as germany

i cant see anytother contries but only the ones in the baltics

[austere roost]

too late now but hess is much better than bormann

[twin kayak]

I have divs just stuck on this tile. No matter what I do, they don't move

[bold canopy]

can someone tell me how to lunch a nuke bomb pls with strategic bomber pls?

[obsidian badger]

look at the far right side of the screen above the map modes

there should be a tiny atom icon

[vital plinth]

For a defensive line as usa vs Canada and Britain what infantry Template do you recommend?

[obsidian badger]

as usa?

you..dont need one

just push

[obsidian badger]

cap canada before britain send troops

[bold canopy]

yes i have

[final estuary]

Genuinely I would be sleeping by then

[vital plinth]

Rather defend tbh haha for the fun of it

Is 36 with division enough? On each tile ?

[bold canopy]

how do i equip that into a airplane?

[devout canopy]

im giving up here... i hate that i have no idea what is/isnt worth victory points

[vital geode]

You dont, those are on missile silos

[devout canopy]

so im just capturing random spots hoping theyre worth something

[vital geode]

You launch them from the silos

[bold canopy]

i cant equip it into a airplane and then smash?

[vital geode]

That's why your V2 sites were in France

[vital geode]

This isnt the 1960s

[bold canopy]

meanwhile dropping a nuke?

[vital geode]

That's a bomb

Not a rocket

You can eventually make ICBMs though

Well before ICBMs, MRBMs

[bold canopy]

yes i wanted doing it also with a rocket, i think we could

[vital geode]

The V2s were huge

[bold canopy]

what is ICBM

[vital geode]

InterContinental Ballistic Missile

[bold canopy]

i have this now

[vital geode]

Okay, but i assume you dont have warheads

So therefore, you need strategic bombers

[bold canopy]

i have them

[vital geode]

And drop them by using a nuclear raid

[uncut narwhal]

try making them as cheap as possible

lwk

so you get the most out

they just have to drop a nuke

not actually strat bomb

[obsidian badger]

pretty sure u only need 10-20 to drop a nuke

[uncut narwhal]

fr?

thought its one air wing

[obsidian badger]

yeah

[uncut narwhal]

not sure

[bold canopy]

i need air superiority?

in the help lounge tryna learn feel free to help if you're up for it

[hardy elm]

ok

[oak jasper]

Multiplayer, AIUI, some kind of heavy TD. Singleplayer: medium SPGs optimized for soft attack + breakthrough.

I tend to go for: 3-crew turret, howitzer, best radio, armor skirts, 1-2x HMG, 0-1 easy maintenance*, bolted armor, +4 armor pips, and whatever combo of suspension/engine/engine pips gets me to 6-6.5 kph for the lowest cost/best reliability.

Note: unless you have six research slots, easy maintenance probably isn't worth the research.

[runic lotus]

This is probably a dumb question but am I missing something when it comes to factory building? I build civs usually until mid-37 and then start building mils, but it always feels like I'm low on factories compared to the AI and when I look at streamers. Is there something obvious I am not doing?

[oak jasper]

Are you going to partial mobilization/war economy ASAP?

[weak mason]

Hi! Just started playing not too long ago (New to the game) and currently going through the Germany guide from bittersteel. Is there a reason why you need to rush the air range improvements? Trying to understand what makes it so valuable to prioritize it over other research

[oak jasper]

Air mission efficiency. If your air wings have poor coverage over their target air zone, mission efficiency drops. When mission efficiency drops, your aircrafts' effective stats suffer; AIUI, if you have 25% mission efficiency, you're only able to use 25% of your aircraft.

[weak mason]

Oh thats pretty good thanks

So its not a Germany run only thing, its pretty valuable for other nations too when you have to cover extended areas

[dark thunder]

Yeah range is super bad on planes, it’s pretty much mandatory to put some upgrades on them that make it not so bad.

[runic lotus]

Depends on the nation if I can go to war economy but I usually am by 37 iirc

I've been prioritizing advisors but maybe that's bad

[scenic nacelle]

for mp just stack stats

ignore reliability

and price more or less

[oak jasper]

understood, stacking as much defense as possible.

[glacial steeple]

why

[oak jasper]

To make a joke at how nonspecific "stack stats" is.

[vagrant stratus]

What's a good time to aim for for ending the Ethiopia war as Italy? Fastest I've done it is March 22nd but I'm not sure if it can/should be faster or not

[keen hemlock]

thats good

i just blitz

[scenic nacelle]

before they board the train

[vagrant stratus]

..Is that something relating to a dlc I don't have? lmao

[keen hemlock]

its a focus

it makes them not capitulate and join the allies

but you dont go to war, they stay capitulated

[vagrant stratus]

Ah? Is this still base game stuff? I'm a lil lost, sorry lmao

[sacred arch]

For some reason the entire time during this byzantine playthrough the tank divisions bug out. Like ill make the template and all the stuff but it says im missing specifically all the tanks even though im making the correct tank type and have more than enough, and I checked the equipment and made sure its taking it. Only made medium/modern designs both the same problem ):

it does seem to be getting strength though

ig it dosent matter?

[daring ruin]

Hey, is there any way for me to practice certain things in hoi4 like the navy without having to juggle and multitask everything else at the same time?

[jovial elk]

anyone knows how to fix this?

[gusty briar]

Haven't played in a few months is the sub doctrine meta basically the same? Or did they make significant changes?

[proven cargo]

Which guides are still updated on how to play Germany without dlcs

[austere roost]

if you enter war in 1939 then you should start building mils from day 1. Factory counts are only half of the picture, the other half is production efficiency which is why you need to let the mils run for a while for them to produce more things. Streamers don't show you that thing because one big number is easier to show

[copper mason]

I have 2 nukes but when when I try to do a nuclear raid it says I have 0 collected

[runic lotus]

The general advice I've been seeing is to build civs until 37, is that correct as a general rule for countries expected to enter in 39/40?

[keen hemlock]

It really does depend

[inner sparrow]

it depends what country ur playing and when ur going to war as he said

if ur sov u wanna build till roughly dez 37/ jan 38

[keen hemlock]

Like you can civ greed on Canada, just send line inf to el al then get offensive dibs out and wait for the ai to do a naval invasion

[echo night]

Did I do well (I was Sweden)

[keen hemlock]

How did you only lose 25k

And Germany 2k

[hushed vault]

did they update factions?

[keen hemlock]

Yes with the new dlc

[hushed vault]

what s new

[vestal ore]

why cant i go through the Bosphorus when turkey is my puppet 😭?????

[austere roost]

Idk where you got that advice but if it's reddit then just ignore it

The rule of thumb is 3.5 years before the war

Like maybe you can build one round of civs but that's the latest you should start building mils if you want to max out production when war begins

[hushed vault]

what s new

[vagrant stratus]

How exactly do I go about building my navy? Should I focus on like only two different kinds of ships? Do I build a variety of different kinds?

[lunar plank]

do you want meta navy or general advice?

[vagrant stratus]

Hrm, good question. As much as I would like navy to be a set and forget kinda thing, something tells me I would benefit more from knowing more of the ins and outs of it. If that's the case I'll take general advice, but if that actually isn't correct and I can just set and forget, hit me with the meta

[lunar plank]

you wanna hop in vc real quick? i can expain some of the mechanics

there are a few diffrent big mentalities for navy

[vagrant stratus]

How long do you think it'll take? I was about to hang out with a pal but I've got at least a little bit yet!

[lunar plank]

like 15-20 min

[vagrant stratus]

Ah, yeah that'll be fine! Give me a quick second and I'll be ready

[lunar plank]

alr

[dark thunder]

[echo night]

Germany joined late, as for myself I had forts ready

[twin kayak]

What garrison template do you have ?

[twin kayak]

Here: https://youtu.be/8zde7grcU6A?si=fMvgSib6gvcafkDJ

Idk if it’s a good vid, but it works well for me

You just shit out dds and that’s it

[pallid steppe]

just cavalry because cheap

[twin kayak]

And MP ?

And what garrison law do you use ?

[austere roost]

if you really want to spend 35 more xp toget the free cav spirit and put up 25 cavs then mp is worth it

for garrison law just pick local police force unless you can do civilian oversight or liberated worker

[bold canopy]

can you drop rocket with airplane?

[twin kayak]

It never worked for me. I nearly always have to go to martial law

[austere roost]

If your garrison has a problem that means your production is a problem

And ofc local police force is the go to law if you have a problem with garrisons

[twin kayak]

Production ? If you mean that they are under equipped, I can assure you that my garrisons are well equipped

So for me, it’s cav, mp and martial law

[austere roost]

Then there's no problem with garrisons

[bold canopy]

can you drop rocket with airplane / submarine?

[twin kayak]

I might try local police and other laws, but then the resistance (idk how it’s called) is high (40%)

[bold canopy]

italy?

[jagged hull]

@fathom thistle i did it but the check joined the allies when i did the fouce tree

and i didn't get the civil war

[neat widget]

it enables cas role

[bold canopy]

so with a specific cas i can equip rocket and then launch it?

[twin kayak]

You should, yes

Go to cas equipment and you should have rocket rack or something with that name

[bold canopy]

that?

[twin kayak]

Yeah, looks like it

[bold canopy]

so how do i equip rocket to it

[twin kayak]

I’ve never used rockets, but iirc, it’s how you use them

[twin kayak]

« Rockets »

Wrong term

Missiles

Never used them, so I can’t help you

But I would say, try to build a missile launch site in the construction tab

[bold canopy]

wait meanwhile rocket i need to create them?

[bold canopy]

not this

[twin kayak]

Are you talking about missiles or rockets ?

[bold canopy]

Rocket*

[neat widget]

Oh no

[twin kayak]

So, the cas thing ?

[bold canopy]

yes

[twin kayak]

Just equip the rack and it should work

I assume it’s like the other cas weapons

Just equip it and the game does the rest

[bold canopy]

meanwhilte missile can be lauch from germany to usa for example with missile launch?

[bold canopy]

ok, so i no need to create a specific ammo

[twin kayak]

@neat widget Can you confirm ?

I’m talking about stuff I’ve never used, so I might be doing mistakes

[neat widget]

the difference between rocket rails and MRBMs is the difference between the HVAR and a PGM-19 Jupiter

[twin kayak]

You probably have to have researched the tech

[neat widget]

One is used on planes as CAS, the other is used for strategic bombing purposes

[twin kayak]

He’s talking about the cas one

[neat widget]

So no, you don't need to actively produce MRBMs to put rocket rails on planes

[bold canopy]

ok thanks for that i needed xD

but rocket rails is stronger then any CAS? like normal module

like this vs other vs other

[neat widget]

it's weaker but uses less weight

[bold canopy]

oh ok, thank for help

[bold canopy]

thank you too for help ❤️

[neat widget]

that said your planes are over-engined

typically you want your thrust to be around your weight

yeah i know, obviously not a realistic system but that's how it works in hoi4

[bold canopy]

oh so i should lower thrust

[visual yacht]

I thought higher thrust via better engines is better because it also means higher speed?

[bold canopy]

i always watch speed

[austere roost]

It also means you waste ic

[visual yacht]

Yeah i cant remember where i saw it but higher speed being better is ingrained in my head

[neat widget]

but you also increase cost

[visual yacht]

Probs some youtube bait from years ago tbh

I recall looking into whether it was worth the ic cost

[neat widget]

say replacing 1 x engine 3 with 1 x engine 4 isn't bad and sometimes can be beneficial, but only needing 1 x engine 3 and putting 3 x engine 4 is going to make your plane much more expensive for no real gains

[visual yacht]

Could you explain why the first situation could be beneficial?

Isnt jumping an engine tier a bigger IC jump?

[neat widget]

nope, jumping an engine tier is a smaller ic jump than adding another whole engine

and i'll tell you with full disclaimers that i don't know why the first case is beneficial, i've got multiple players to test it and it somehow is

[glacial steeple]

hi askers and helpers

[neat widget]

[glacial steeple]

speed

speed and agility

agility adds onto air def, speed just trades better

[visual yacht]

👋

[vital plinth]

Should I put anything more on naval bomber small one aside from one topedo in the top section ?

[neat widget]

yeah but it also costs 2 ic

[vital plinth]

For carrier bombers

[neat widget]

and according to our calculations the two effects should cancel

[glacial steeple]

out of like 40

[neat widget]

wait, agility adds onto air def?

[glacial steeple]

yes its a modifier to it

used to be stronger

[neat widget]

the formula we ran through looks like this, and in terms on a plane-by-plane basis the e4 plane is around 12% better

[visual yacht]

So what about a situation where 2xengine3 and 3xengine2 are the lowest IC engines that fit, wiuld you pick engine 3?

[glacial steeple]

double engines add like 12 ic

[neat widget]

however the e4 plane also costs 5% more, which basically cancels the effect according to lanchester's laws

[glacial steeple]

just dont do it

unless medium frame then always 2x

[neat widget]

yeah double engines literally add the cost of another engine, so for an e3 that's 16 more ic

[neat widget]

well, for mediums, the equivalent is going from 2x to 3x or 4x, and for heavies from 4x to 6x

which is still dubious

[glacial steeple]

3x is less punishing

but still bad

[neat widget]

yeah

[glacial steeple]

hits you with the 2.16 ic plane

[neat widget]

that's only with a temporary ic reduction though

[glacial steeple]

a year

[neat widget]

it's more like 10 without i think?

[glacial steeple]

365 days is long

[neat widget]

true

[visual yacht]

https://tenor.com/view/wtf-what-the-fuck-the-fuck-is-this-wth-gif-17571836

Ok ive totally misunderstood engine tiering this entire time lol....

[glacial steeple]

better engine better

more engine more thrust more cost

cant use all thrust, then its a waste of thrust

[visual yacht]

I confused the number of engines with the tier of the engine

So i thought i was teching and using 1xE4 when i was actually loading on 4xE1....

I think.

Looks like im spending my night on hoi again

[heavy kettle]

yo i have a question i know how to prepare for war and that but i dont under sand the buttons or how to attack a country what do i do?

[neat widget]

the odd thing is that the e4 planes were killing 15% more of the e3 when pitted against each other

when we put equal ics of them

which means more e3 than e4

[lunar plank]

Just do fighter conversions to save rubber and gigga max more mils

The trades will be the same just do double armor plate

[neat widget]

depends on your nation

and no also that doesn't seem to affect results

double armor plate relies on having range from MIO (which usually requires range MIOs like Fiat or Focke-Wulf)

[vital plinth]

Should I put anything more on naval bomber small one aside from one topedo in the top section ?
For carriers ?

[late widget]

as italy whats a better focus balkan ambition or potential alles in the balkans?

[lunar plank]

that is fair, i was thinking on jap, ger, and ita

eng has good mio for pure stats just disadvantage from airbase limits.

axis wins because they can put more fighter in batle cuz range and they own fra

if usa has air in north eng it can be balanced if us has hands

[neat widget]

if you're uk then you can only do one armor plate of course
if you're us you're better doing heavy fighters
if you're the ussr you can only do only one armor plate too (if for some reason you're going an air build there)

[glacial steeple]

no they just dont have range

supermarine is good tho

usa has range

br has range

ussr has agility which is bad

[neat widget]

well typically axis loses because they don't have enough fuel

[lunar plank]

yeah i dont play sov so i cant speak on that but us heavy fighter is giga if they day one on heavy fighter 2 and then use 300% for h 3 its really good

fuel is issue

[lunar plank]

for axis

[neat widget]

supermarine is agility but it gets like 3 defense upgrades so i imagine that tips the balance

[lunar plank]

but good rom can use the faction iniatatives right its not terribble but axis loses cuz unless its a airgamble the axis cant keep up with allied air.

except japan

japan is like reallyy hard to stop unless asia larp happens and you make them sad.

[vital plinth]

Should I put anything more on naval bomber small one aside from one topedo in the top section ?
For carriers ? @neat widget maybe machine guns ?

[jade tulip]

how do I make a country get world tension so I can remove it from my faction?

[neat widget]

i mean you could put machine guns

actually yes so that your planes don't get shot down

[thin nebula]

Range

[sacred sluice]

What's the best air advisor out of these?

[dusty sandal]

night ops I'd say
ground support icr what is the exact buff but night ops baically means more efficiency half of the day

[neat widget]

ground support is the amount of support CAS gives your ground units

[dusty sandal]

it's air superiority+5%

(they answered here #hoi4-general message)

[neat widget]

i'm just saying what it does

actually i should say it like this

ground support is the combat modifier that CAS provides to your units in land combat

units get at most 30% buff to their combat abilities with CAS

and then add 5% to that

[jagged hull]

what is this

[neat widget]

war goal expired

[jagged hull]

but i was trying to get the iron maiden eva braun

[neat widget]

i see

[jagged hull]

will this still get me? eva braun

@neat widget ?

[neat widget]

i don't think so, but idk

[visual yacht]

is it better to have 3 destroyers with 3x torps or 4 destroyers with 1x torp?

i assume more ships is better cause of higher HP pool?

[dusty sandal]

it'll cost way more to have 4 than 3

[crimson sentinel]

why are my subs just sitting there doing nothing

[visual yacht]

well im comparing my designs atm, 3x torp costs 1175 and 1x costs 895 so roughly 4 destroyers vs 3, but the 3 is individually much stronger

[dusty sandal]

strike force mission means they stay in port until enemy is spotted and they choose to engage

[dusty sandal]

well then it would depend on the total stats you get. But on equivalent cost and stat, yes, having more ships is better than fewer

[visual yacht]

also why do my destroyers split into a different 'stack', and does it matter or just purely visual?

same design

is it just grouping them by strength?

[dusty sandal]

I'm pretty sure it does actually

[glacial kraken]

set them to patrol

or to convoy raid

[fathom thistle]

Cheers 🤙. It worked at least

[crimson sentinel]

How do I put planes on my carriers ?

[fathom thistle]

Do you have carrier planes? Cuz the plane + icon grayed out

[crimson sentinel]

I just realized I forgot to make the carrier variant 😭

[glacial steeple]

its ok just make ice carriers

[errant chasm]

Hello casey

[glacial steeple]

hiii vistula

[weak wing]

for the new desperate defense doctrine, (under the operations tree) after the war ends do you still keep the doctrine?

[glacial steeple]

yes

[weak wing]

ok thanks, playing finland rn and gonna abuse it when the soviets declare on me lmao

[jagged hull]

can anyone help please

[crimson sentinel]

never before have I done navy this nicely

[errant chasm]

Yo wanna play hoi4 next weekend?

[glacial steeple]

sure :3

i didnt have time yesterday/sunday sorry

[jagged hull]

im going to need a lot of help i did get eva braun but look what i did

[errant chasm]

That's okay i had others things to do last weekend

[hoary bough]

Dudes who advised me to sent 1 army to uk as germany yesterday, if you’re reading this, thank you

[vital plinth]

Does the British start with much better ships than all other countries? I tried getting the Italian and French navry and they get destroyed very badly and I’m just wondering if the British just have much better ship modules etc ? Design *

[tawny shuttle]

all the ships produced are garbage, but the british navy is starting off the strongest

if ur enemy player,and u playing eng u must prod destroyer.U can search meta destroyer design for england

[light knoll]

did you deathstack everything besides submarines

and put on always engage never repair

[vital plinth]

I played Germany got the France and Italian navry deployed on patrol to naval invade and got destroyed
Then I played USA and got destroyed too with 1 carrier and rest battleships and destroyers

So I’m wondering if British has stronger navry at start in terms of ship design because they win a lot

[glacial steeple]

did you do doctrines

[light knoll]

did you do what i asked

[glacial steeple]

do you have an admiral that works

also individually the british navy is the best in the game

[vital plinth]

Doctrine only fleet in being as grand and carrier doctrine and admiral other doctrines no

[vital plinth]

No I’m not playing right now but was asking in regards to my earlier save

[light knoll]

then that was probably the issue. yoj can pretty much always beat the ai with doing just that

[vital plinth]

Could it also be the British had more light cruisers that tear my destroyers apart ? I had very few light cruisers but a lot of early heavry ships and destroyers

[vital plinth]

I had success with Japan pretty much destroyed them tho

Which mod do you think is best that improves AI navry play to make it more competitive

[tawny shuttle]

I dont know if it affects the navy as well, but the best is the sheep ai mode. If you increase the power of other countries from the settings it becomes really impressive.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3265939166 this.

[vital plinth]

I was told the reason British doesn’t use it main fleet or strike force which was issue that navry came sucked also was because it doesn’t produce new destroyers so it doesn’t do patrol for strike force which was annoying I wanted to have competitive navry battles so it would be harder to naval invade or get across 😅

But I haven’t tried any mod yet but sounds like they are very very good and fixes a lot of stuff

[scenic nacelle]

Just search in better navy

I believe there’s a mod that buffs it

[vital plinth]

And expert AI Is what makes infantry and airforxe much tougher to fight AI right ?

Is it both behavior and strategy or only design?

[scenic nacelle]

Expert ai is just design

And usually cheats for the rest

But sheep’s is both but without the cheating 🔥

[fossil dove]

As the Soviet Union, should I have 16 or 18 combat widthn on historical mode?

For my infantry

[glacial steeple]

doesnt matter

[fossil dove]

Ok, thanks

[vital plinth]

Ah ok so sheep is the big one ? Or good one in your opinion?

[tawny shuttle]

9/0 infantry good enought.Dont switch just prod tank

[fossil dove]

Ok, but should I wait for medium tanks and mechanised or use light tanks and trucks?

And then switch to medium and mechanised

[tawny shuttle]

i think med is good for soviet. u need reliability.and dont do tank in cannon 1 just go howitzer

ais armor like 9 8

[fossil dove]

I mean early game

Because i doubt i can have enough medium tanks to do enything agains the germans

[tawny shuttle]

just prod light tank with good breakthr stat.Bec u can add support comany in light tank

[fossil dove]

Should I go for the standard 32 widthn?

Or make small around 100 breaktrought units

With trucks

[tawny shuttle]

nah we dont in field light armor units.We just add recon light tank in tank template

u just do 40-50 breakth light tank and prod 1/day

[fossil dove]

And I use them for units or
...?

[tawny shuttle]

and u need 38 med chase and flame tank.

[tawny shuttle]

in tank and if u more prod maybe go in infantry support comp.

[fossil dove]

Ok, thanks

A, how much combat width should I make for this light tanks dividion

[tawny shuttle]

when game starts,go land facility and gain 1 facility breakth and resarch flame tank

[half glade]

what am i supposed to do in this situation

i cant breakthrough in the east

cause they literally have like 15 units on each tile#

[fossil dove]

36, ok

[tawny shuttle]

u just add light tank in support company.U should prod 38 med with howitzer.In vanilla 36cw is more effective cw

[fossil dove]

But, i don't get it, should I make light tanks for units or suport companies, last time i had like 25 factories on tanks

Light ones

[half glade]

i think i just gotta give up lol

the germans and italians are not helpful

[glacial steeple]

hist ai 💔

[half glade]

ive never played non hist

[fossil dove]

Good decision

[glacial steeple]

non hist is fun

[half glade]

it looks

messy

[fossil dove]

It is

[half glade]

and idk whats gonna happen so

i cant really

prepare

i cant win even when i try to preapre

[tawny shuttle]

broooo im so sad right now im from tr :/

[half glade]

lol get byzantined

[fossil dove]

Every god dam time I play they form so many coalitions and I can't do anything without half the world on my

[half glade]

YOU CAN GET ACHIEVEMENTS IN NON HIST???

[fossil dove]

Is it normal for non historical or is just my luck

[half glade]

bruh

[fossil dove]

Yes, but historical at least you know what will happen

[half glade]

yeah im gonna try non hist

and see if i can create byzantine

[fossil dove]

Trust me, it's gambling with a small nation

[half glade]

i might try take bulgaria before turkey lmao

see if i can get some extra industry

[fossil dove]

The think is that they can make alliances so you can't move a muscle

[oblique dragon]

what is ideal paratrooper division

[half glade]

nothing ahistorical has happened yet

actually the rhineland is still demilitarized

[fossil dove]

Big if you want to hold or small just to create chaos

Ok, well now you have a germany that does what it wants and no war with UK to slow it

[glacial steeple]

yes

[glacial steeple]

yeah

[half glade]

you seem happy about this

[glacial steeple]

its bad for trying to optimize gameplay lol

but i think its fun

[half glade]

what does this mean

[glacial steeple]

you wont be able to fully predict wars/balance/what timeframe to prepare for

more will happen in the world though

[hardy elm]

its good depending on what run

if ur playing for example poland unhistorical is the goat

[fossil dove]

Should I play non historical as urss?

[hardy elm]

Maybe

[glacial steeple]

lets not bypass the filter

[fossil dove]

Give it a try

[hardy elm]

Problem is

if u play USSR

[glacial steeple]

well its really bad for germany gameplay

anyone else is fine

[hardy elm]

japan nearly ALWAYS goes anti russia in unhistorical

so u will get invaded by japan

losing ur industry focus tree

[glacial steeple]

its like literally random

[hardy elm]

yes but it always happens

[glacial steeple]

to you

[fossil dove]

Exactly

[hardy elm]

japan always goes either support or purge kodoha

so ur cooked

[fossil dove]

I tried ones as non historical russia and japan was on me

[glacial steeple]

anyway, ussr actuly doesnt have many enemies

[hardy elm]

Ye

[glacial steeple]

that get wargoals on it

[hardy elm]

still

[glacial steeple]

only like poland maybe

japan

[hardy elm]

USSR focus tree is sooo ahh

because of unhist u always cant complete the industry

[glacial steeple]

you should be able to, but generally you wont have peace until 41 or whatever

[hardy elm]

only good thing about russia is going stalin and getting a free turkey and romania cos turkeys straits

[fossil dove]

Or should I keep trying on historical, last game was actually ok, i lost but I pushed in germany a bit

[glacial steeple]

do whatever you find more fun

[fossil dove]

K

Gtg

[hardy elm]

tbf u could go historical and just destroy ger early

[fossil dove]

Thanks for the help

[half glade]

doesnt seem very safe right now

does this effect support artillery?

[vital plinth]

Hey btw will USA join axis if they are made to go facist in settings ?

[glacial steeple]

its not in their path

so like they could by normal faction rules but like they arent guaranteed to do so

[vital plinth]

Oh ok if I want to have USA join axis I would have to declare war on them ?

Just to even it out since axis keeps loosing in general eveytime when game runs

[glacial steeple]

thats historical

you can play ahist if you want a more unpredictable world, or set nation paths for everyone to decide teams

their behaviour will be consistent with hist ai on

[vital plinth]

Yeah I mean even if I play a major ally I mean they still lose or no one wins because Germany never tried to naval invade uk or USA unfortunately so it’s kinda stuck if Soviet is taken out

[meager fractal]

What's the best name for a faction?

bro

[twin kayak]

Military International Legion of Friendly States

[meager fractal]

ok that;s better

[twin kayak]

you can replace Legion with league, that’s up to you

But take the initials and it makes milfs

For short

A bit like nato

[glacial steeple]

lets keep it appropriate #server-rules something something

[meager fractal]

FR

[twin kayak]

Sorry

[bold canopy]

for china is there a decisione like austro-hungary empire?

[elfin island]

how to take a full map screenshot without gui

[keen hemlock]

Wdym

[obsidian comet]

What am I doing wrong Im at war with italy have divison in the stated regions did the focus tree it requierd control iran as a puppet Im not allied with the soviets nor puppet them however I did puppet independent regions of them so I could get to iran

[carmine thunder]

why are some naval bombers lost when attacking convoys? The convoys shouldn't have anti air?

[keen hemlock]

convoy escorts

[carmine thunder]

There aren't any warships in the battle just convoys

[jagged hull]

Can anyone help me I'm going to try to get the achievement that is called Otto-man

[glacial steeple]

convoys have AA and light attack

its like 0.1 or something each

[jagged hull]

My leader need to be Otto von Habsburg and I need to take hungary, Czechoslovakia, Croatia Romania, Bulgaria, Greece and Lombardy-venetia

Can anyone help

And I have to defeat Germany

[uncut narwhal]

as austria thats not too hard

just set it to non-hist

and if germany isnt going facist

you just go down your focus tree

[jagged hull]

Ah ok but I actually to be a monarchist I cannot justify anyone so I need world tension to be 50%. So I need to take over all of Romania Yugoslavia Bulgaria half of Italy Greece and turkey

[uncut narwhal]

your focus tree gives you war goals on most of those

[jagged hull]

I never tested that if I can become a European Union if that actually works

[jagged hull]

The left one it's all about subjugation while the right one is all about annex and you cannot justify war goal

[vital plinth]

Hey is there a way to get Germany or axis to adapt on historical when I help take out the Soviet they don’t do anything after with invading USA or Britain by naval invasion?

They just sit and wait or fight in Africa only

[uncut narwhal]

the focus tree should get you there tho

[jagged hull]

So the left path because I only see Italian war goal

In the substitution basically making puppets on Yugoslavia Romania Czechoslovakia Poland and Hungary

Subjugation forgive me

[uncut narwhal]

just go down the annex path

[jagged hull]

The annex path only gives me a little of the nation basically half of Romania basically only Transylvania like the old territory of Austro Hungarian

[jagged hull]

Just get on VC I'm going to wait

[uncut narwhal]

wdym

oh

[twin kayak]

Yoo, casey ban that guy

Tf was that

[glacial steeple]

i didnt see

was it a scam or nsfw

[twin kayak]

+18 cams

Message was removed tho

[glacial steeple]

yeah ik, just curious

[frigid loom]

lil help plz, i have been playing a lot of germany and EVERYTIME i go democratic or communist, the UK goes faschist, even tho i set historical AI focuses. i googeled it and found somthing abt how its to counter germany. i also found france also went revive the national bloc once i had gone communist or democratic. is it meant to happen?

[obsidian badger]

its an old feature meant to make sure the player always has opps

if u dont need ironman you can force uk and france down democratic if u want

[half glade]

is the cossack king better than the commonwealth path?

[vital plinth]

Im playing communist USA what infantry doctrine would you recommend?

I have grand battleplan

[barren pond]

If I get this division and unlock modern sp artillery, should i change the mediums for modern ones ?

[hardy elm]

yo why is it all SPG

[hardy elm]

defo

[barren pond]

Apparently it's very goood

[hardy elm]

ye the soft attack is insane

lowk never made a division like this

prolly shreds through inf

[barren pond]

Should I use that or this

Though probably the other one is better

[cold prism]

guys, i'm kinda pissed. Why cant i play modern day mods??? do i need all the DLC?

[charred light]

It used a lot of supply

So I recommend you to use tanks instead if you are fighting in low supply regions

[gusty briar]

Im not sure if they nerfed it in any of the recent updates, but when NCNS released SPG divisions with the subdoctrine were pretty insane, literally the same as medium tanks just with 20% more soft attack

[vital plinth]

Im playing communist USA what infantry doctrine would you recommend?
I have grand battleplan as doctrine atm

[somber spear]

hey guys im trying to find a nice template for minor nations, that does not eat all of my supply and resources

anyone got any

[barren pond]

I fight in europe

so probs can use it

[charred light]

Add flame tanks

If you can

Oh nvm

You added it

[barren pond]

Idk where to unlock them

[charred light]

Add logistics

[charred light]

Land facility

[barren pond]

this is other persons

[barren pond]

there is nothing there

[charred light]

Maybe you don't have dlc

[barren pond]

this is mine

maybe

only got the free ones

might be the case

[charred light]

Oh

That's the reason

Then

[barren pond]

How to unlock the last line ?

Might go with spg one then

[charred light]

I don't think you can

With tanks no

[uncut narwhal]

you just gotta get one doctrine done

[charred light]

Maybe

[uncut narwhal]

the infantry one

on gbp at least

depends on the grand doctrine

[barren pond]

ohhh

[charred light]

I don't think you can make that divs

BC you don't have dlc

You can't design tanks or spgs

[barren pond]

Oh

Okay

[silk sorrel]

Hello friends, where can I find help with my global question?

I need admins

But only in private messages. Who can help?

[barren pond]

What to add here then if i dont have flame tanks

[keen hemlock]

get assualt engineers

i forgot what the project is called

[uncut narwhal]

armored engineers are better

[barren pond]

maybe signal company

already got armored engineers

[uncut narwhal]

theyre also good

[scenic nacelle]

Wait they aren’t the same thing??

[uncut narwhal]

nope

[barren pond]

nope

[barren pond]

thx

[uncut narwhal]

armored engineers is an extra tech

[keen hemlock]

no

[uncut narwhal]

assault engineers are unlocked by the special project

[scenic nacelle]

Ohhh

[uncut narwhal]

theyre better

except for fort attack

[scenic nacelle]

I thought people just called it different names like USSR/soviets

[keen hemlock]

you need the project to research armoured engineers too

[dusty sandal]

assault engi buff SPGs, armored engi do not

[barren pond]

don't have the last line though

[keen hemlock]

same with armoured signal company etc

[uncut narwhal]

nah its actually two different things

[dusty sandal]

add support aa (no guaranteed air) or logistics

[uncut narwhal]

they do?

what are the buffs

[dusty sandal]

yes, doctrines allow them too

[dusty sandal]

soft atk and brk

[keen hemlock]

self propelled support?

[uncut narwhal]

which doctrines?

[dusty sandal]

SPG ones

icr the name

[barren pond]

also no flame tanks

[keen hemlock]

yeah then it would be self propelled support

idk if any armor doctrine buffs spgs

[dusty sandal]

you'll use them when you get them
use logi or support aa until then

[barren pond]

no dlc

but ill use the other ones then

[slender junco]

how is this even possibile😭🙏

[dusty sandal]

can't you see the context clues ?

[uncut narwhal]

i gotta be blind, i cant find the assault engineer buff

[dusty sandal]

iirc it's in the other doctrine in armored section. Should be the one where armor variants get brk and soft atk

[dusty sandal]

your units are underequipped/undermanned, have no supplies whatsoever (= no stats = no pushing) and attacking difficult terrain (even less stat) probably without air support

[barren pond]

Maybe I should just use this

For europe

[keen hemlock]

uhhh

[barren pond]

I have good production

[keen hemlock]

id use mech over motorized

[barren pond]

or exchange those for just medium tanks

oh

ok

[keen hemlock]

also i dont know if any doctrine buffs modern tanks

[barren pond]

Any good ?

Apart from the price

then maybe change those for just medium tanks ?

[uncut narwhal]

the only buff ive found is in the td doctrine

[fathom thistle]

replace mot rrecon with light tank recon

[keen hemlock]

id do medium spgs

just more soft attack

[barren pond]

looks good

and cheap

go with this ?

[dusty sandal]

might have mistaken them for TD buffs then, my bad

[uncut narwhal]

ah ok

[fathom thistle]

you playing singleplayer right? you dont reaally need signals for it

[barren pond]

multi

but with friend only

[dusty sandal]

your SPG design has an issue as you have no breakthrough

[barren pond]

we in faction

[barren pond]

have no design 🙁

no dlc

i think

[barren pond]

where is tank designer ?

[keen hemlock]

no step back

[fathom thistle]

wouldnt td's perform better in mp?

[barren pond]

nope don't have it

[fathom thistle]

compared to spgs

[dusty sandal]

if no tank designer, this is what you want to use

[barren pond]

idk, but we playing against AI

[dusty sandal]

yeah, in coop just keep to singleplayer templates

[fathom thistle]

oh like with friend but sstill agaainst ai, yeah stick with spgs then

[barren pond]

yeah my breakthrough is pretty low

[keen hemlock]

light spgs look so cursed im so used to seeing mediums

[keen hemlock]

easy maintance is maintance company 2 right

[dusty sandal]

yeah, but in singleplayer, medium SPGs are basically costlier light SPGs, almost the same soft atk stat

[barren pond]

which one to choose 😄

cause if i change mediums for spgs there is no breakthrough

trucks for mechanized*

[dusty sandal]

yup, but if you don't have it/don't want to bother (300 days worth of research) then just use radio

[keen hemlock]

ok

[fathom thistle]

whats your design?

[barren pond]

no design

[keen hemlock]

i just used 3 secondary cannons

[barren pond]

i don't have any paid dlcs

[fathom thistle]

oh

mb

[barren pond]

so maybe go with mediums then

or modern tanks

[keen hemlock]

also i always forget to change to diesel engine

[fathom thistle]

even without dlc's spg's should outperform normal mediums

[barren pond]

though mediums are cheaper

[keen hemlock]

you need less spgs per company

[keen hemlock]

40 to 50 iirc

[barren pond]

current one

[keen hemlock]

i always go for somethng like that

[barren pond]

😄

i don't even know anymore

well i'll use something

will be fine

[fathom thistle]

light tank recon should give you abit more breakthrough

but overall it's decent

[dusty sandal]

useless mot recon 💔

[fathom thistle]

like it could be way better but oh well..

[barren pond]

Maybe sth like this

or more spgs

[silk sorrel]

@dusty sandal Bro, can we talk in voice? I have an important question

[barren pond]

cause no dlcs so limited options

[dusty sandal]

no vc for me

not native english speaker

[barren pond]

maybe this better

[dusty sandal]

hospital, engineers, logistics, aa support, arty
no need for anything else

the arty will buff breakthrough with assault inf doctrine too

[fathom thistle]

btw you dont really need signals for singleplayer

[barren pond]

ok

but the rest is ok ?

med tanks with spgs

[fathom thistle]

it's solid

[barren pond]

thx

[fathom thistle]

you have air supermacy right?

[barren pond]

doctrine ?

[fathom thistle]

no like actual air supremacy, you have planes right?

[barren pond]

oh

not in war, but i have loads of planes

probably the most in europe

[fathom thistle]

yh just checking so you dont need support aa

[barren pond]

oh

kk

[vital plinth]

Hey I have an issue where uk and Romania guarantee Findland right before Soviet goes to war with them and it starts big war with Soviet and drain their man power since I’m in faction Soviet I want to wait with the wars until 1941 any suggestions?

[fathom thistle]

you play as?

also you dont need to join the war btw

so like u said u can wait it out

[barren pond]

What would be good end-game infantry division ?

I use this

Since start

Poland

[dusty sandal]

best inf div for defense in sp is this but without engineers (which are equivalent to 20% of the total div cost)

[patent otter]

can someone play w me and help me learn the game please

i know the basics

[raw basin]

I just started playing any tips so i can improve?

[wise dew]

how am i supposed to use my wargoals that are given to me if any chinese countries dont accept my subjugation demand if they are in my alliance and i cant remove them as communist china

[barren pond]

oh I found this

should i change anything

[fathom thistle]

dont have like bunch of templates, you really need only 3.

1. 16w-18w infantry for holding
2. 36w attacking template
3. garrison template (you either do 1 cavarly unit or full cav template with military police as support company)

The rest you can learn from just playinh

[dusty sandal]

buff armament, that's about it

and engine if you're worried about speed

but it'll increase the cost dramatically

[barren pond]

thx

[acoustic zephyr]

How can I use the commands to core a country

[raw basin]

thank you

[twin kayak]

I'm playing germany and Italy has gotten quite big (smaller than me, but they are a thorn in my side). How should I invade a superpower like them ? they stretch over multiple continents. Do I just invade Itraly itself and do not touch the rest ?

[twin kayak]

since when are you helper ?

[vital plinth]

As USA

[twin kayak]

I don't remember your name being red

[vital plinth]

Hey @dusty sandal I’m building up big army as USA , but issue is I lack support equipment how many mills would be ideal to have in support equipment? Also should my infantry I use for attacking have anti gun and engineer company and support arttly?

And what for defense line ?

[twin kayak]

Will be difficult to answer without screenshot or knowing the size of your army

[neat cloak]

У кого то есть мод, или хотя бы название на СВО? Или 2014 год чтобы поиграть с друзьями.

[vital plinth]

5mio man power available on field

And fighting whole of Europe with Soviet or plan is so i want to put some defense lines there and my other will be used to invade Europe

[tired moon]

I was expecting to lose ngl

also what do I do with the brits

[keen hemlock]

you naval invade them

or paradrop them

[tired moon]

i think paradropping would be a better idea

[keen hemlock]

you need to make transport planes

[tired moon]

yeah

and research paratroopers

[keen hemlock]

do the fallshrimjager focus and get kurt strudent in charge so you can use glider planes so each paratroop doesnt take as many planes

[tired moon]

wheres fallshrimjager

omg

i am blind

[jaunty iris]

what are the main benefits of choosing dispersed industry over concentrated and vice versa?

[tired moon]
