stack breakthrough

[tired moon]

and then?

[keen hemlock]

put them over the uk

[tired moon]

they still dont quite reach them

[keen hemlock]

how

what airframe are you using

[tired moon]

wait

lemme build an air base

look im smart

[keen hemlock]

im sure if you put the basic bf 109 germany starts the game with in calais it can reach

[sacred sluice]

??

[keen hemlock]

does that armor give the most breakthrough compared to other armors

because id rather use another to not use chromium

[sacred sluice]

It is highest breakthrough

[keen hemlock]

personally id change it, but go for it

[tired moon]

okay now

[errant chasm]

If you add petro electric you could have even more breakthrough

[tired moon]

how do I paratroop invade again

[keen hemlock]

to my knowledge only guangxi has chromium

[tired moon]

it says no paratroops in group or smth

wait

istg

IM STUPIF

Are medium TDs a decent substitute @scenic nacelle

Or only heavy TDs

[scenic nacelle]

Yeah

[tired moon]

Britain shall be mine

— wilbemn 2

[frigid loom]

Grand Battleplan is the best doctrine in any situation. you chose the right one

thanks

[sacred sluice]

Might just do that to save on research

How much piercing do I need to be able to pierce basically anything?

[scenic nacelle]

As much as u can

150 ish is usually good enough

[sacred sluice]

okok

[scenic nacelle]

And how does research matter for that?

[sacred sluice]

cuz medium flame tanks are already needed right?

So I could just use mediums

Rather than research both mediums and heavies

[scenic nacelle]

I believe doing interwar flame tanks work fine

[sacred sluice]

oh ok

[scenic nacelle]

It’s only like an additional 200 days

[scenic nacelle]

Guys what template and support stuff to use for units I plan to help Soviet defend their land against expect heavry numbers of enemies I need some cheap ones while I make my strike infantry more ekspensiv for attack and invading else where in offensive

[glacial steeple]

[scenic nacelle]

Are interwar flames tanks good

Mediums

[tired moon]

i need 50 transport planes

[glacial steeple]

flame tanks are good

How do people feel about Romania as a starter nation? Once you have the basics down, I mean.
I've seen people swear by it because it's got a decent economy, has relatively simple mechanics, and can carve a swath in the middle of a bunch of non-aligned nations. Is this accurate? Is Romania a decent minor nation for noobs?

[glacial steeple]

romania is weak but ig

its ok in hist

[crisp ledge]

I mean, the things I've read indicate that it's at least stronger than neighbors like Hungary and Czechoslovakia, and the Balkans Dominance tree is a pretty straightforward ahistorical path. Is this your experience as well?

[obsidian badger]

I mean theres better

Romania is ight

[glacial steeple]

well no

it starts a bit stronger but thats it

[scenic nacelle]

It’s extremely simple

But also very weak

[obsidian badger]

Hungary can core more i believe

[scenic nacelle]

Yes

[vital plinth]

Guys what template and support stuff to use for template infantry I plan to help Soviet defend their land against heavry numbers of enemies I need some cheap ones while I make my strike infantry more ekspensiv for attack and invading else where in offensive

[crisp ledge]

I mean, my goal's not to conquer the world or anything, I'm just trying to get my feet under me.

[glacial steeple]

what are you trying to learn specifically

[crisp ledge]

Economy/manpower management, army-focused military.

[obsidian badger]

Depends, but 9 block inf with support aa and logi for cheap

And engi

If u wanna push

Use a 36 width with support or line arty.

[tired moon]

WHY 50 WAAAAAA

[obsidian badger]

Depending on where in soviets u can also send tanks

[tired moon]

FINALLY WOOOOOOOO

[weak totem]

hello, I haven't played in awhile. when I used to play the land doctrines were like a tech tree. Now the UI looks totally different, and Im wondering if its the same system just new UI, or if there was an overhaul to it

[obsidian badger]

Overhaul

[vital plinth]

Why engineer if I wanna push ? Doesn’t it only give defense and movement speed ?

[weak totem]

so I have enough points to get a subdotrine. if I get one does it lock me out of the otehrs later?

or can I ge all of them over time

[obsidian badger]

Engineer is always great, and i didnt know if u wanted to hold or push

if u wanna push mountaineers would be best for low supply areas and send tanks/mech for high supply

36 width infantry with some arty if u want if u dont have good mountaineers

[tired moon]

englirsch

[keen hemlock]

You can swap whenever you want on one

But you can only have one of each catergory active at once

[weak totem]

do you have to repay? Or once you have them unlocked can you hot swap freely?

[keen hemlock]

Pretty sure you have to pay

[weak totem]

oki, thank you!

[keen hemlock]

Also you dont gain levels from army exp now, its called mastery

[barren pond]

So I got quite a lot of land, but not much manpower since most of it is non core. Can I do anything to solve this ? No paid dlcs

[vital plinth]

I want to hold and defense for Soviet so they don’t lose they will take on all of Europe forces

I want to send alot of cheap armies there to help hold while I set up my strong 5 army for s different front

[twin kayak]

rate this div

[hoary bough]

Does germany has some buffs I don’t know about for air? Bc I literally don’t understand how I beat usa 1:40-50 in 1941

[hoary bough]

With 1936 planes btw lol

[obsidian badger]

U don’t need 2 aa, and why the shsp art when u have so many spgs

[twin kayak]

funny big numbers

and because I have the means to produce heavy stuff

[obsidian badger]

Then use armor meme

Only 60 armor?

Make the heavy td have maxed armor

[wise dew]

how do i beat japan as nationalist china

[obsidian badger]

Give concessions like resource rights and build up, hold river line, then push once u amassed the hordes

[wise dew]

so i shouldnt let the bridge incident happen

[wise dew]

what are the stronger routes to go down

[dusty sandal]

stats so low for cost so high

about a week now
Casey forced me into it

How to get demopcrats in latest updatew

They added new turkey content so they might have changed it

[glacial steeple]

nothing should have changed

[sweet saddle]

haii how do i stop resistance in a nation i just took over what do i doo?

[clear bane]

why is my standard div soft attack so low

[austere roost]

Cuz inf soft attack is low?

If you want higher attack build your own armor divisions

Or add super heavy artillery

[clear bane]

but my panzer div soft attack is low too

[glacial steeple]

nad tanks

bad*

show their design

[austere roost]

Then build spgs instead

[glacial steeple]

bad gun and MAN 🥀

[austere roost]

Also you don't need 9 engines and 14 armor points unless you only plan to build like 2 divisions of them

[clear bane]

this better

[austere roost]

Yeah and tbh heavy machine guns are enough

And basic chassis is enough

Makes things cheaper

[neat widget]

what are your occupation laws

and garrison template

[deep pagoda]

How do I fix this? I feel like when I do the increase war support decisions that it doesn't really help.

[barren pond]

Just whatever I use to attack 😄

Secret police for law

[errant chasm]

just use one cav battalion for garrison. That is what I use

[balmy salmon]

Hello! I have a question, can somebody explain to me how HoI4 multiplayer works? I’m kinda lost in dlcs, does everybody here have all the dlcs? Cause i saw that if you don’t have dlc x you can’t play with the one that does have it unless they disable it.

[sweet saddle]

i think the game defaults to the host's DLC collection, meaning if the host owns an expansion, everyone in the lobby gets to use it for free during that session. You don't need to disable anything or buy extra content to join a friend you just need to ensure you are all running the same game version and mods. i think tho dont qoute me

[balmy salmon]

Ooh, actually that makes sense, i hope it’s true cause i’m broke.

[proven cargo]

Does anyone have a good Germany guide for without dlcs?

[balmy salmon]

If you’re new just try new things out: a tank template, infantry template, etc… Try invading Britain even tho it’s hard in the beginning, you’ll get used to it anyway. Germany is a really strong country for new comers, best testing ground because you can make mistakes and still get out. (Don’t take only my advice, this is how i did in the begging)

[proven rain]

how to fix this

[lone smelt]

I'm in peace conference with China as Japan, my pupper country already exists. Is there anything I need to be wary of now? How do I make sure the land goes to my puppet?

[balmy salmon]

What country are you playing as?

Soviet Union or Germany?

[proven rain]

ger

[balmy salmon]

Exactly

common mistake

You re using MEFO bills

[edgy mica]

Click the country you want to give the land to (click on your china and then give it all the land)

[balmy salmon]

it s a method Germany used in the past for rearming

[proven rain]

?

[balmy salmon]

have you tried the focus "price controls"?

[proven rain]

nah

[dusty sandal]

MEFO is best eco path
but it requires you to invade countries and cap them
it also requires you to do focuses when you need to do them and not randomly
it also requires to do the price control focus and its decisions

[balmy salmon]

exactlyu

[dusty sandal]

but all this requires reading

[lone smelt]

Thanks, I never realized this was even an option <3

[balmy salmon]

you conquer a country and then you get to seize their gold reserves

yes

[lone smelt]

Should I keep guanxi and it steel for myself?

[dusty sandal]

so, as always @proven rain, you need to read the focuses, what they do, and think about when doing them
same goes for decisions

and yes, you need to pillage gold

[proven rain]

should i do all

[edgy mica]

Also if your China has cores in the territory you can go to the Manage occupied territory thing and click "return territory" it will give them all of the cores you have from them

[dusty sandal]

your ultimate objective is to be able to complete the autarky focus
as long as you can't, any decision you get your hand on to reduce MEFO cosumer goods, you do it

[proven rain]

so i always need to do this dec

[dusty sandal]

yes

[balmy salmon]

Everytime you click one of those resistance is rising, but if you have enough weapons and a good garrison division it shouldn t be a problem

[dusty sandal]

as long as you can't complete the focus "autarky"

[proven rain]

o i see

[balmy salmon]

This is what you re looking after.

But you must complete some req before

[sweet saddle]

haii! how do i stop or reduce resistance to occupation?

[tender tartan]

is someone in your core states?

[balmy salmon]

Shh, photo took from google cause i’m in bed

My back kinda hurts

😭😭

[tender tartan]

ooh i thought you were asking why you cant do autarky 😂

[balmy salmon]

😂😂😂

[obsidian badger]

change your occupation law to martial law, change your occupation template to calvary or, if you have the resources, trucks. research military police and place that in your occupation template, use spies to root out resistance

[sweet saddle]

okiee thank u!

[proven cargo]

Is 4 yr plan without mefo viable

[balmy salmon]

From my non expert opinion i would say maybe? It’s powerful in the beginning, but economy growth is more powerful late game

[proven cargo]

Cuz doesn't doing seize gold reserves make everything annoying when you do occupy

[balmy salmon]

If you don’t have the mefo bills, you won’t have that option available

That’s only when taking mefo bills

[proven cargo]

Even with autarky achieved?

[balmy salmon]

Mefo bills later transforms into “economy of conquest” which gives you the ability to seize gold reserves from foreign countries

[obsidian badger]

only for 90 days then its fine

[balmy salmon]

So you can still seize a country??

[obsidian badger]

yes

[balmy salmon]

Oh damn..

[obsidian badger]

if u do seize gold reserves

[balmy salmon]

Didn’t knew that

[obsidian badger]

the occupied states will get the modifier overburdened state for 90 days

which has a tons of nerfs

but goes away

so its fine

[balmy salmon]

Playing Germany for 2 years and didn’t know that

[obsidian badger]

also, u can also cancel mefo bills before war

[balmy salmon]

Well

[balmy salmon]

Ik

[obsidian badger]

it will leave u with recovering eco-

ok

[proven cargo]

for rubber and oil do you just make synthetic refineries in your european territories

and when do u start ww2

[pliant condor]

yes but it just hurts you

autarky is basically free anyway

[balmy salmon]

Yes, for rubber and oil you make synthetic refineries. As Germany you will severely lack rubber and oil, it’s good to do the focuses for them.

[pliant condor]

and the game should have been finished before the cg has any effect

you don't make refinery for oil and it doesn't contribute

but otherwise yeah

[proven cargo]

or mb silos

[proven cargo]

cg?

[obsidian badger]

my question would always be how do i help germany get autarky when im playing other axis countries

[fathom thistle]

They can't

[proven cargo]

also I've not gotten autarky before

[balmy salmon]

That’s the fun part

[obsidian badger]

cause they always screw themselves over

[balmy salmon]

U don’t.

[obsidian badger]

theres some cheese

u always get petersburg so germany cant do greater germanic reich

u build a ton of refineries in shitty states and then transfer them to germany

u always occupy one state in potential rks to prevent germany from making rks

but they still choke

a lot

ai smh

[balmy salmon]

Let Germany annex Romania and get all of the oil

🙏

[fathom thistle]

All this work just bcs ai sucks ❤️‍🩹

[obsidian badger]

ong

[proven cargo]

wait you dont lose autarky to renaming right?

[fathom thistle]

Another fun fact if Romania gets their own front against ussr the German AI can push past Moscow to Urals. Only reason they don't win is bcs they don't do it quick enough before d day happens

(don't ask me how that makes sense)

[obsidian badger]

greater germanic reich cores that one danish state

and autarky requires u control all core states

if youre germany its nothing u can just annex denmark

but if youre an axis member u cant make germany do something

[pliant condor]

annex romania

[edgy mica]

Whats better, cancelling the MEFO Bills or not doing it and getting Economy of conquest?

[glacial steeple]

get autarky?

[edgy mica]

You cant do autarky achieved if you cancel them?

[glacial steeple]

no

well like you lose all buffs you had previously

[edgy mica]

Ohh

[glacial steeple]

cancelling has a meta to it but you dont cancel very late

you do it after getting price control focus and then do the decisions after

[edgy mica]

I keep taking four year plan and then i cancell the MEFO Bills before the anschluss lol

[glacial steeple]

but generally just dont civgreed and stay on MEFO

its good for mils, amazing even

its just really bad if you make civs

and like you win the game with mils

[edgy mica]

I see ty

[proven cargo]

wait mefo only affects civs?

I thought consumer goods affects both

[glacial steeple]

consumer goods affect construction

thats what civs do

it doesnt stop your mils from doing anything

[opaque zealot]

what are some great attack divisions for majors customized that you use i need some cuh in the infantry field i suck

[proven cargo]

ic

when is the best time to declare war tho

[opaque zealot]

@glacial steeple

[tropic igloo]

After Taking Brazil as Portugal via the focus
how do you get cores?

[obsidian cedar]

do kingdom reunited

[tropic igloo]

i did and i still dont have cores

[obsidian cedar]

oof weird

[tropic igloo]

do i just do a new run and try again

[obsidian cedar]

maybe let it run a few days

[tropic igloo]

okay ill just wait for a bit

[obsidian cedar]

still nothing?

[tropic igloo]

Nothing

[obsidian cedar]

did u annex them peacefully or thru civil war?

[tropic igloo]

Peacefully

I did the focus and they let me take them

am going to try to see if i get High compliance ill get a discuen or something

[obsidian cedar]

id recommend a rerun and gooing thru the civil war, thats wut i did in my run altho that was a long time ago

[tropic igloo]

okay

[obsidian cedar]

also checking u have all the dlcs right?

[tropic igloo]

Yeah i have all of them

[grand pelican]

Hi, so i have the DLC subscription and i just installed hoi4 on my new pc... but i launched the game to see none of them activated nor on the launcher. May i have some help?

[obsidian cedar]

yeah prolly a bug

[obsidian cedar]

but try this, this is wut i did a long time ago and i watched a vid that did it this way too

[full prairie]

I was playing as Iran and I invaded Afghanistan and I was doing really good and winning, but the only problem was my troops were not getting the supplies they needed and started dying off so then I lost, but how do I give them supplies so they can keep going deeper?

[obsidian cedar]

which path is this

im assuming monarchist?

[full prairie]

none I dont have any dlcs

[obsidian cedar]

ahhh

icic

well u can try just letting them walk into you and making encirclements

line urself near supply hubs while they get farther from theirs

[full prairie]

I think I was losing because I was running out of supplies but how am I supposed to supply them half way through their teritory

[obsidian cedar]

encircle the troops so they dont have much units anymore

then it would be easier to push

[grand pelican]

my dlcs arent working 😢

[obsidian cedar]

yeah sry cant help on that, went thru the nightmare of buying em all lol

[full prairie]

I wish i had dlcs because it would be so much more fun

[obsidian cedar]

tru

[grand pelican]

i have the subscription 😐

[full prairie]

it too expensve

[obsidian cedar]

F

[tropic igloo]

have you tried or checking steam

[grand pelican]

yeah i'm using the account i have the subscription on

maybe its my paradox account?

[tropic igloo]

look there

[grand pelican]

@tropic igloo can u help me

[copper mason]

How'd you make your steam like that?

[tropic igloo]

it should boot up

with dlcs

[tropic igloo]

idk its a setting

contrast mode

lowkey just got cooked by spain as protgual

idk what am doing wrong

[full prairie]

what am i supposed to do if I lose the war and im completely captured, like i cant do anything

[tropic igloo]

idk gang i have 1300 hours and i cant even win as germany

[obsidian cedar]

mood

[grand pelican]

its not tho

[tropic igloo]

I have tired doing a pc restart or steam restart

[tropic igloo]

like am so bad i might have to play on easy and buff myself

[obsidian cedar]

oooof

[tropic igloo]

idk what am doing wrong gang

[obsidian cedar]

XD

infantry 18 width, tanks 24 or 36

idk thats jsut my default when im lazy

[tropic igloo]

thats what i use

idk if its good or bad

[obsidian cedar]

second one is better in my eyes

im one of those that despise line art unless its a support company

[tropic igloo]

2nd one is for defense and the first is for attack

[obsidian cedar]

ahhh icic

[tropic igloo]

idk though i still get pounded

[neat widget]

what doctrine are you using here btw

hoot i just pinged you twice for the same messages

[austere roost]

would replacing the second armor plate with extra fuel tank be better against high difficulty? I feel the -6 in air defense would be fatal

[near glacier]

range is more beneficial over soviet territory

you need range over defense against german air

[tropic igloo]

Suiper fire power

[obsidian cedar]

i recommend grand battleplan

[neat widget]

subdoctrines?

[neat widget]

You don't do double armor plate if you don't have range MIO

So yeah replace it

Is that a high agility MIO btw?

[obsidian cedar]

can I ask if anyone knows how checksums work? because idk how to change to the checksum thats usually in the multiplayer thing

[sand ember]

depends on your game version and mods

[obsidian cedar]

like im on the same version and mods but idk why i cant connect

[sand ember]

if your checksum isn't matching then one of those things isn't matching

[obsidian cedar]

hmmm icic

thats weird because they were all up to date for me and everyone else was able to connect, idk why i couldnt

but oh wells

[high basin]

Does anyone know how to counter tank in multiplayer, I have support anti tank in all my infantry, but the breakthrough is so high my infantry just get sand flying

[tropic igloo]

Great war anti tank and grand plan

[neat widget]

tank doctrine?

[tropic igloo]

Assault infantry

[neat widget]

do you mean armored infantry support?

because assault infantry is an infantry doctrine

[tropic igloo]

Yeah mb

[austere roost]

i think it is, I downloaded a mod for it

but like 16 air defense is not enough, with 2 armor plates I can get like 80 mission efficiency with doctrine so I don't lose a lot of stats

[neat widget]

do you have a link to the mod?

This is the plane you should be having on high agility MIO

[austere roost]

I'll get it tmr

[neat widget]

I don't think you're using high agility MIO since that plane would have 455 km range instead

[spiral seal]

what inf templates should I be running for attacking as usa?

[rose plover]

what are these new supply and repair ships for

[neat widget]

This is the plane you want if you are on light aircraft MIO

[neat widget]

Something like this

[magic phoenix]

Can anyone tell me why I cannot set the breakthrough tactic as preference for my lvl 8 general? I have rapid domination in subdoctrine which says it instantly grants access to it

[spiral seal]

thanks, hopefully I'll stop getting rolled by Germany now

[vital plinth]

What support stuff should make my infantry and how many width as communist USA ? I’m trying to help Soviet defend itself from all of Europe and have a lot of man power pool should I still have engineer?

[vital plinth]

Also should flame tank support company be medium or can be light tanks ?

[neat widget]

should be medium in 99% of cases

lights if you're paradropping

[vital plinth]

How so ? Isn’t light cheaper to make ?

[fossil dove]

Hi! As the urss, should I have 32 width infantry. I am playing historical and when I tryed to mass produce 16 width I had after a year -80k guns

A year of war with germany

[neat widget]

medium provides more bonuses than light and is not that much expensive than light

[neat widget]

well that makes sense

wait

no you shouldn't be having such a large deficit after a year

but yeah in general solely relying on 16w is not viable anymore i believe

[fossil dove]

Maybe 2 years, not sure

So 18w?

[neat widget]

in 2 years you should probably be in berlin

[fossil dove]

Been there

[neat widget]

well 18w isn't that much better

just do 32 width imo

[fossil dove]

But they pushed me back because of my low suply

And guns

Whats imo?

[neat widget]

why do you have low supply

in my opinion

[fossil dove]

Long stiry short they did a naval invasion and you know i didn't have units to stop them and they started to push and my pushes in germany lost suply hubs

[neat widget]

Just how many divisions did you have at the start of the German war

[fossil dove]

About 15 generals

Full

And 8 light tanks division

I didn't lost a lot of units but supply and lack of guns killed me

[vital plinth]

Ah ok , do you know how I choose to use medium fire tank in support company instead of light if I have produced both medium and light ? Or will it just pick what’s in stock ?

[limber drift]

why can't they attack land?

[lavish saddle]

will I be able to integrate my subjects as Habsburg Austria?

[dry vapor]

How do i avoid war with raj as fascist Afghanistan

[twin kayak]

Doesn’t look like you have enough range

[neat widget]

it will pick whatever is in stock and matches the description

[limber drift]

but idk why is everything is red

[patent forge]

Do heavy cruisers count as cruisers or heavy ships?

[serene karma]

Carrier is on a mission

Hold ur task force

[twin kayak]

Yeah, not enough range

(If you wanna attack china, cuz if it’s korea, you should be able to launch your planes)

[limber drift]

the planes are from the carrier

[limber drift]

but how do i use the planes when they are not at port when on hold

nevermind i got it

[vital plinth]

Oh ok so mix of both if I have both types

[neat widget]

nope

because you can't use medium flame tanks in light flame tank roles and vice versa

medium flame tank support company will only take medium flame tank

[vital plinth]

Ah ok got it

[haughty forum]

how do you guys deal with the massive efficiency fall when you make a new tank design?

[vital plinth]

Do you have suggestions for infantry template im USA helping Soviet against mega forces of all of Europe.

Not sure what is good to build so I don’t run out of stuff like support equipment etc it’s more for defense

[visual yacht]

is it just rng on whether carlist spain spawns on historical with no player interference?

[dusty sandal]

Just don't change the chassis

[dusty sandal]

Light flame tanks are only worthwhile for paras btw, since they can be paradropped

In any other case, there's no reason to use anything else but med ft

[haughty forum]

never? are the improved and advanced chasis not worth it?

[dusty sandal]

In singleplayer it's never worth it (doesn't bring anything worthwhile)
In MP if you swap chassis, you die, so you either use the basic or wait for improved

[glacial steeple]

what stats do they give

[dusty sandal]

You can design the exact same tank on older chassis with only speed and reli changing significantly

Fr that should be changed
Allow 2 modules with basic, 3 with improved,4 with advanced etc.just like ships or planes

[haughty forum]

i don't know by memory

[haughty forum]

so in MP you start with a chassis and stick with it huh

[vital plinth]

@dusty sandal any suggestions for this issue ?

[austere roost]

No they aren't because speed, reliability, and armor stats don't really matter

[dusty sandal]

to hold the line ?

[haughty forum]

Low armor means you get pierced easily, how is that not important?

[austere roost]

Lmao piercing is the easiest stat to raise

You will get pierced

[hardy elm]

love when hoi4 players try to reinvent the wheel

[austere roost]

Armor divisions reduce damage taken in sp through hardness

[vital plinth]

Yeah and defend the Soviet so they don’t capitulate

[dusty sandal]

9inf, support arty, support aa

[austere roost]

And if you want to raise division armor you would just make one special tank with high armor

But ever since piercing got changed, armor meme stopped being useful

[vital plinth]

Ok 👍 any reason why engineering company is better for assault armies and not defense ? Since they only give defense and movement and only fort gets attack bonus ?

[dusty sandal]

it's just that engi would take 20% of the cost of the whole div for marginal buffs due to low enough stats

[obsidian badger]

Theres armored and assualt engineer companies for offense heavy divs

[haughty forum]

I love when discord users mock a newbie just to get noticed by a woman

[obsidian badger]

They do give attack buffs, mainly against forts

[haughty forum]

can't even ask questions on newbie channel

[hardy elm]

making an imaginary problem

hoi4 cant simulate tactical battles

[uncut narwhal]

i get that point tho

[glacial steeple]

its fine to, no one seeks to attack you even if it may come off aggressively

[vital plinth]

👍

[vital plinth]

Should assault engineer be light tank or medium ?

[uncut narwhal]

in singleplayer only use mediums

[glacial steeple]

clown!!

[inner sparrow]

in most cases they aren’t but u can do improved heavy on ger and not get pierced by allies marines and have 70% reliability on barb which is nice

but its more of a one time scenario where u do it

mostly to punish allies going siege arty doctrine

[glacial steeple]

[glacial steeple]

no attrition, battleplan barb

lose

[vital plinth]

If I use sheep and expert AI then I can incorporate heavry , medium and light tanks ?

[uncut narwhal]

if you play with sheeps ai use heavy tanks

light tanks just suck

[vital plinth]

Any purpose with light tanks ?

[uncut narwhal]

light tank recon

[vital plinth]

Why not use light tanks for support company ? Since they also cheap to build

Should support company have a lot of fuel tanks ?

[uncut narwhal]

that is the support company wdym?

[uncut narwhal]

not really

[vital plinth]

Ah ok mb I meant let’s say for flame tanks in support lines i normally used light tank design and added 3 fuel tank module i thought it would be cheaper with same buff and the fuel tanks would help me pierce front like and push further in for longer and not run low supply fast

[uncut narwhal]

no you want medium flame tanks

with the most breakthrough

and if you dont have supply

dont use your tanks

[vital plinth]

I have supply on my side I mean when you push and do encirclement you need to push into enemy and then encircle and I run out of supply fast

[uncut narwhal]

just encircle around supply hubs

[dusty sandal]

fuel drums are worthless

it's only nichely usefull for paras but even then, if you can paradrop, you can already air supply them

[vital plinth]

They don’t make you tank able to to keep fuel for longer when pushing into an low supply area ? Or it just runs out very fast still ?

[dusty sandal]

the fuel they give isn't even remotely enough

and it replace stats

and if you're fighting with tanks in no supply areas, you're doing something horribly wrong too

to give you an idea : flame tank company and light tank recon company with only fuel drums as modules only give you about 3hrs of fuel in no supply situation for a regular 36w medium tank div with no engine click

[vital plinth]

It’s because when I want to encircle like against Soviet I try to make a bigger encirclement to trap a lot of units instead of 3-7 dibs but when I’m forming the edge of the circle where they meet each other from each end behind the enemy line they are out of supply

Or am i maybe doing it wrong in a wrong position etc ?

[dusty sandal]

motorize supply lines, push towards hubs and follow railways or build new connections, do not push in wastelands

[vital plinth]

When I’m home I can try give an idea what I mean in a screenshot and draw the line and you could help me with explaining where I’m doing wrong ?

[dusty sandal]

sure

[vital plinth]

Since issue is if I want on rail ways the enemy troops in the circle start moving out

[spiral seal]

Can I still get achievements with player led peace conferences mod?

Pray

Id say spam reinforce rate buffs

and look for encirclements

and go for lots of defense

i guess china holds by just reinforce meme and insane defense stats

get army defense advisor and spam defense doctrines

[wise heron]

im playing chinese empire and want to justify but i cant. I need 10% world tension and the year is 2000 and it has not been 10% for ages. Im non alligned and i tried to become fascist but it did not work. any tips on what i can do? please and thank you

[hardy elm]

YEAR 2000

how is that even possible

[wise heron]

i just play ig

i really want to achieve my goal

[hardy elm]

do u have a giga ultra mega pc

[wise heron]

it maybe cost 1 500 dollars

[hardy elm]

bros been afk for 50 years

[wise heron]

[wise heron]

does anyone know then

[wise heron]

[keen hemlock]

Ngl I would restart

Game must be slow af now

[wise heron]

nooo not this far in

im restroign the qing empire

[uncut narwhal]

how did you lose against the allies in the first place?

[keen hemlock]

Bro the Allies are gonna have an infinite amout of troops and planes and ships

Also the game ticks take forever

[wise heron]

i did not lose i would say, like they were the whole world basically against me and to stupid japan and italy puppets that died early. And i conquered like turkey, india and finland and the allies got like 200 million deaths. And then i could whitepeace with somewerid vietnam decision. so i got some of iran, india and all of vietnam i would say it as a win

[uncut narwhal]

then why is there a manchu repbulic

in you

[keen hemlock]

200 million casualties

💀

[wise heron]

because right after i made peace with them stupid portugal declared war at me and chaught me off guard and i should have kept on fighting but instead i mobilized 2 000 50w infantry and whitepeaced america. i was so tired of war man

and portugal was in the allies

[uncut narwhal]

50w divisions are bad

[keen hemlock]

2000 50w infantry

[uncut narwhal]

use 36w

[keen hemlock]

Is insane

36 is much better

[wise heron]

i made them so i could whitepeace, i actually use ts as defence:

[uncut narwhal]

theyre still bad

use 36w

[wise heron]

you dont understand

[keen hemlock]

Is that line aa

[wise heron]

i made a bunch of divisions so that i had so much manpower deployed that usa would accept the whitepeace, i never used them in combat

[wise heron]

yes

[wise heron]

is it bad i think good

[keen hemlock]

Yes

[wise heron]

does anyone know how to make an ironman game in to an non iron man game

[wise heron]

how come

[uncut narwhal]

go to the settings file in your hoi4 directory, set save as binary to non, then start your game and save

and then edit

the save file

[wise heron]

what is hoi4 directory

[uncut narwhal]

your hoi4 folder

[cyan garden]

why does my game look like ts

[uncut narwhal]

mod is broken

[wise heron]

[cyan garden]

is there a way to fix it

[uncut narwhal]

wait for the mod to get fixed lol

[cyan garden]

the only mod i have activated rn is rise of extreminism and fps map

[cyan garden]

is it just luck

sometimes the ai will do alt hist stuff if you are on hist, i have no clue how big of an impact you need to have

i also have no clue what makes the czechs decline

[cold prism]

why cant i play modern day mods??????

[keen hemlock]

try millenium dawn

[cold prism]

i've tried, novux vellixum AND millenium dawn

but it never works

[keen hemlock]

idk mods like that

or what would cause them not to work

[uncut narwhal]

did they just not work correctly or what?

[cold prism]

i launch hoi4, then no mod, just normal game

[uncut narwhal]

did you create a new playset?

[cold prism]

i have playset, but it doesnt work

[uncut narwhal]

so you created a new playset and put the mod in there, and then selected the playset?

im gonna peg germany ok

also shoudl i then cancel mefo or no?

[half lake]

thanks i used to always focus on the tank speed but now it looks like everything has changed

[daring gorge]

what base did u use?

[uncut narwhal]

andy medium chassis works

[jagged hull]

im trying to get woman in a high caslte

[daring gorge]

also how do i get better mortar

[uncut narwhal]

its a howitzer

artillery gun tech

[daring gorge]

yeah thats what i mean

[daring gorge]

AT is basically useless in solo right?

[uncut narwhal]

yes

[daring gorge]

?

[half lake]

what flame tank

do i use

[uncut narwhal]

no

[daring gorge]

medium

with extra ammo

just spam wtv gives soft

[half lake]

does wtv means whatever?

[daring gorge]

yes

i think extra ammunitions gives soft attack but i dont remember anymore

[austere roost]

if you want the cheapest flame tank then just use inter war chassis with flamethrower 1/2

otherwise you try to add breakthrough to the flame tank

[dusty sandal]

for inf or 4km/h tanks, you don't even need flame tanks, so if you want it to be cheap, just don't produce any and get free buffs
doesn't work for fast divs though becasue it'll cap speed at 4km/h

[errant chasm]

That reminds me. I remembered back when I used a 1 man turret on flame tanks because I read a steam template guide telling me to make them as cheap as possible lol.

[dusty sandal]

yeah, that used to be good because the nerfs on FT were so harsh. Like -80% on all stats

wasn't worth doing anything else

[errant chasm]

Okay so if we are doing pure inf builds dont bother with flame tanks is what im hearing right? Tho I may also make mountaineer divs as thats still goated.

[dusty sandal]

if you don't want to build useful flame tanks (to stack breakthrough) then yes

but in general, there's little reason not to want breakthrough on inf

[daring gorge]

any tips for spain civil war as germany? i heard theres a debuff for when im attacking something that spain isnt attacking also

[dusty sandal]

click on regions, if they have the unplanned offensive modifier, you won't be able to move in weeks basically
but it's good to farm xp on divisions and general traits, just not army xp or general xp

[errant chasm]

On second thought. Without tank production this might save up production for building lots of flame tanks for mountaineers or inf divs (well not all of them of course unless if you could afford them)

[daring gorge]

but wont i just loose alot of manpower and all the experience is gone? i want to grind out some troops to be vets so i can turn them into tanks

[dusty sandal]

read what I wrote please

[daring gorge]

yes ik im talking about the latter part of ur message

[dusty sandal]

I don't get the issue then

unplanned offensives means you grind division xp fast
it's also good to grind general traits

it's not good at giving you army experience or general experience (which makes then level up), because you don't deal much damage

[daring gorge]

i may be dumb but can u tell me diference between division xp and army xp?

isnt army exp green star and div xp the thing that makes them veterenas?

[dusty sandal]

division xp = xp on your division, veterancy level
army xp ) the green stars

[daring gorge]

so should i attack unplanned offensive tiles or not?

[dusty sandal]

depends on what you want to do

grind xp/traits : yes
grind army xp/gen xp or kill spain, no

[daring gorge]

also to get general xp i hv to attack tiles that arent attacked by spain yet right?

[finite terrace]

you dont "have" to but you only generate a bunch of xp for like a week of a single combat

so if they have already been fighting, youre wasting potential xp

thats why you usually want to attack a tile for a bit and then cancel the attack and start over repeat etcetc

[daring gorge]

how does nat spain remove "unplanned offensive"? or willthey even remove it somehow

[dusty sandal]

they click a decision for 1 region then it goes into timer

it will go faster as anarchist spawns

[daring gorge]

i have noticed that i can attack anarchist normally do they loose that modifier?

[dusty sandal]

no but they get their own decision
they spawn in barcelona and huesca by default, if nationalists control those 2 states, they spawn somewhere else

[twin kayak]

low manpower ?

[daring gorge]

its lowk bugged

ive been noticing that too

[proven rain]

how to win against china with japan

[dusty sandal]

it's proportional to your deployed manpower (counting garrisons and training as well)
can't remember the exact threshold though

[daring gorge]

naval invade

build supply

try to go aggro against China only cuz theyre the only major so try to attack them more than the others

[daring gorge]

Hess or Bormann?

[errant chasm]

Hess

[glacial steeple]

hess

[half lake]

guys can you do this achievement manchukuo

[dense stone]

Is it true it's better to use AP bombs on NAV isntead of torpedoes?

[weak totem]

I haven't played in awhile, Some new mechanics, what is energy and coal?

[twin kayak]

How do I defend against italy and their aliance with many other nations ?

[keen hemlock]

Coal helps feed your factories

[weak totem]

what expends it?

so far Im sitting at 29 and spending 0

[vital plinth]

How should my mecanized template be ?

And what’s their purpose ? Just to use to travel fast or take tiles fast ?

[neat widget]

Having more factories

It starts being serious with like 50 or so I think

[neat widget]

For Italy here I believe timing is key. You need to knock peninsular Italy out quickly so that you can clear those sprawling front lines

You should probably use naval invasions and paratroopers

[dusty sandal]

in singleplayer just stick with 18 width with support arty, AA, hospital, medium flame tank and logi/rangers/light tank recon or engineers

you should bea ble to somewhat push with them due to their hardness, making them half immune to ai damage

[neat widget]

They won't be half immune since hardness is only 21%

[heady skiff]

As Turkey does it matter which I go for? (Im trying to revive the Ottoman empire)

[neat widget]

Demokrats

[heady skiff]

Alr

[neat widget]

BTW you will have a civil war later on, and it is a pain

[heady skiff]

Gulp

Its gonna be fineeee

[dusty sandal]

base mech 1 hardness is 60%
can be brought up to 70% with MIO traits

[neat widget]

Oh I read motorized instead of mechanized

[dusty sandal]

oh, yeah that changes a lot

[heady skiff]

Is the civil war easier if I have more democratic support?

[glacial steeple]

motorized mentioned

[neat widget]

Nope, they start out with the same states

[heady skiff]

Breh

[neat widget]

The ones with the Kemalist modifier

[heady skiff]

Wait why am I going democratic if I want to pivot to the past 😭

[dusty sandal]

did I tell you that in one of our french MP on HMM last week, allies got wiped in africa because finland had 32w motorised divs ahah

[glacial steeple]

okay so you want to piss the conservatives off so they rise up

[sick ginkgo]

yo chat

[glacial steeple]

is the idea of the path

[sick ginkgo]

i have a question

[heady skiff]

Oh

Alr

[sick ginkgo]

why it feels like only heavy ships can do smth in a battle

[glacial steeple]

i do not keep up with mp games

[dusty sandal]

nah but it was a troll build where mot did wipe 700k allied troops

nobody expected a div going at 12km/h when the norm is around 7 tops

[glacial steeple]

im so sad

i really want motorized rocket arty to be good

it has aura

but its so bad :(

[dusty sandal]

they would push divs out, then send one div in strat redeploy and then push to overrun

[neat widget]

Because the Kemalists won't allow the Ottomans to regain power, so you need to vote them out first

[glacial steeple]

game unplayable all fun things are deeply unviable

/hj

[heady skiff]

Should I do the army reforms before the civil war, or will they also have army debuffs so it doesnt rlly matter?

[neat widget]

Demokrats represent more conservative constituencies

[neat widget]

Yeah I don't think it matters

[dusty sandal]

our next french MP mod will have them at 2 cw and have double breakthrough
they're low-tech SPGs with only hardness lower but buffs in hills and forests

[heady skiff]

Alr

[glacial steeple]

i should join there fr

[heady skiff]

Bro the Saadabad pact is so good what 😭

[dusty sandal]

we have english speaking players too, bumba is a regular guy

[glacial steeple]

do it while you have ataturk

for the pp

[dusty sandal]

will tell you when the mod's out

[glacial steeple]

i cant join the server from your profile its over

cant even lurk

[dusty sandal]

you'll come in a yugo or mex to katyushfarm

[dusty sandal]

you can't ? it's a public server though ?

[glacial steeple]

is venezuela playable or iran

it doesnt show the button

[dusty sandal]

no, but we have mongolia, mandchu, yugo, mex and plans for kazak and maybe netherlands (but waiting on the DLC for that)

[heady skiff]

Will I have to invade the Allies or is there just like a way to pressure them to gimme the middle east? 😭

[glacial steeple]

awesome

[cold bloom]

@lethal lagoonYou dont need to post it in every channel

[lethal lagoon]

oh im sorry

was just trying to see if anyone responds

[cold bloom]

Easier to wait 6 hours and then repost than posting in off-topic channels

[lethal lagoon]

yea sorry

[heady skiff]

Should I integrate the kurds before the civil war 🤔

Mainly cus garrisons

[glacial steeple]

you cant

[heady skiff]

And like their 99% resistance 😭

[heady skiff]

They lying to me then

[glacial steeple]

put it on local police force with high priority for garrison reinforcements

[heady skiff]

💔

[glacial steeple]

iirc thats like gambling

it sucks

[heady skiff]

Yeah I just keep trying to attack rebels and constantly lose...

[glacial steeple]

?

its really easy

go to where you make new units

[glacial steeple]

put garrisons on highest priority for reinforcements

you dont have to care yeah

[heady skiff]

Alrr

[glacial steeple]

just equip the garrisons from day 1

or its going to be a major pain

[heady skiff]

Yeah I had them equipped

I just kept testing my luck with countering rebels

I lost like 5 times in a row...

[glacial steeple]

good way to lose stab

[heady skiff]

xd

[glacial steeple]

notice how it cant even give stab ever

[heady skiff]

I mean 58% isnt THAT bad

[twin kayak]

naval invasion ?

[heady skiff]

Not like I used to have 100%...

💔

[glacial steeple]

it goes down

use decisions to make it go up

[twin kayak]

I can't really push from the north. I'm already stretched thin

not enough manpower to get more

24 spg divs, 7x24 spec forces and 20x24 infantry

And I have to defend so much

[glacial steeple]

have you tried garrison orders for your coast

also if they have no general theres literally 0 loss putting them in 1 army

[sick ginkgo]

does breakthrough really matter on tanks?

[heady skiff]

I thought this was supposed to be annoying?

[glacial steeple]

if you have an overstacked general it also still give some buffs

[twin kayak]

I will take out these thing pretty quickly and redeploy these divs around italy

[sick ginkgo]

or is soft attack more important than breakthrough

[glacial steeple]

depends on how much your enemies are doing defensive attacks

[twin kayak]

I just haven't taken the time to asign a general to them

[glacial steeple]

breakthrough defends you while attacking

[twin kayak]

but I'm also running out of generals xD

[sick ginkgo]

oh okay

so for attacking

[glacial steeple]

just put 1 on all

[sick ginkgo]

soft attack is better right?

[glacial steeple]

break doesnt deal damage but its very important to have enough

or you will just lose the attack much easier

but it doesnt need to exceed the value at which your enemies attack

[sick ginkgo]

i just wonder if its worth doing the artillery thing on medium tanks or no

[glacial steeple]

ideally it is the same

yes its only a minor debuff

[twin kayak]

Would nukes be usefull against suck a big force ?

idk how to use them

[glacial steeple]

well you should always watch out for pockets in peacedeals

theyre a great way to trap divisions if you dont share a faction/mil access

but if theres nothing trapped its just a liability really

especially if they control major railway points

[twin kayak]

Yeah, I was pretty pissed, since they only had 10% and still got a ton of territory

I went for the ressources first

[glacial steeple]

thats fine

[twin kayak]

might have been a mistake

I'm at a big deficit already

[glacial steeple]

its fine if they get a bunch of stuff, it just shouldnt be strategically important or a liability to them

you should be able to usually mostly ignore the pockets especially based on my assumption they hardly have anything in there

[twin kayak]

is it worth it for such big engagements ? It only lasts for 30 days, so idk. This war will last for years

[glacial steeple]

its a nice buff

anyway id commit less troops

to the russian pockets

[twin kayak]

It's already a mess to manage thesse divs and fnding the respective frontlines. I just wanna get these pockets out as fast as possible so that the frontlines aren't as wierd

will they commit more troops to their homeland ?

where should I excpect the most resistance ?

[glacial steeple]

idk

check the map

check your borders

see where they have units

you dont need 24 guys on a pocket where theres 5

inside

like 12 would be more than enough yk

some of them might have 0-2 units

and if theres a lot of guys they have like negative a million supply so it still isnt a huge deal

[twin kayak]

not looking great

[glacial steeple]

produce accordingly to your resource availability

if it goes over/you need to trade this late in the game thats bad

you should be self sufficient

[twin kayak]

It's mostly the airforce (I want to have the best planes)

[glacial steeple]

then cut budget elsewhere

make infra and stuff for more resources

[neat widget]

yeah

[twin kayak]

where would you ?

[neat widget]

oof the chromium

but you can go down on the other resources

[twin kayak]

ok, tbh it's my fault, because I wanna use all of my mils

could easily cut artillery (why would I need more than 400k ?)

ahh, wrong ressource

all of the chromium is used for planes production

I want the large planes to nuke italy

[glacial steeple]

heavy SPG is like 100 chromium

you dont need that much artilleru

frees up steel

same for trucks

support equipment funnily enough as well

i dont think you need 100

[twin kayak]

I cut planes

I have enough

[glacial steeple]

just be reasonable

you dont want 100 factories on everything because you dont use equal amounts of weapons

[twin kayak]

I don't know how to manage that yet

[glacial steeple]

really youd be looking at keeping all ground production to use as little chromium, rubber, aluminium as possible to put it to air

[twin kayak]

but issue is resolved, so everything is good now

[glacial steeple]

large airframe is also kinda mid

just make like CAS

[twin kayak]

I wanna see italy go boom :)

[glacial steeple]

20 factories will be enough for nuking stuff

imo

[twin kayak]

I have like 50k cas and 100k fighters

[glacial steeple]

you kinda have like too much of everything

[twin kayak]

jet fighters

[glacial steeple]

which is not that helpful

could be making IDK missiles

they dont cost manpower

[twin kayak]

maybe, I just don't know how to estimate what I'll need

[glacial steeple]

just chuck them at the enemy

[twin kayak]

I haven't touched missiles yet in this run

[glacial steeple]

its a massive waste of production but at least theyll be used

[twin kayak]

it'll take a long time to get them

[glacial steeple]

MRBMs?

they do strat bombing

its like early missile tech

you can watch italy explode under thousands of missiles

[twin kayak]

MRBMs ? (Medium range ballistic missiles ?)

[glacial steeple]

yes

[twin kayak]

how do I get them

[glacial steeple]

thats their in game name

project

[twin kayak]

well ...

[glacial steeple]

its right there

1 breakthrough

well you need ballistic first

flying bombs highkey suck they have like no range

[twin kayak]

I need v2

[glacial steeple]

also optional btw

[twin kayak]

Should I go for the US first ?

[glacial steeple]

up to you

you have infinite stuff besides manpower so get compliance up

[twin kayak]

how does that work ?

[glacial steeple]

more compliance = more people happy

[twin kayak]

where ? in the US or me ?

[glacial steeple]

everywhere you occupy

[twin kayak]

everyone is happy in the german reich :)

I'll go for the US

will be more fun

[glacial steeple]

go civ oversight smh

[vital plinth]

Hey I’m with Soviet Union fighting whole of Europe as USA . I noticed Soviet doesn’t have the great amount of man power in use for some reason ? They have 300 divisions but 0 man power left and seems their man power in divisions is slowly getting low they haven’t increased their conscription law either only at limited. It’s 1941 June. Will they have some focus or something that increase their man power a lot eventually?

[hardy elm]

they should automatically increase conscription law idk

[twin kayak]

before civ oversight and after

Hello, do units only capture equipment when they attack, or much more? Is it useful to have maintanance companies in defensive unit or only in offensive ones

[modern merlin]

does anyone know if they added a focus tree for yunnan after the DLC was published or was it always there?

[remote fractal]

I have nuke but how do I drop it

[modern merlin]

oh I said it wrong

I meant to say did the DLC give them a focus tree

or did they add the focus tree after the DLC was published

[fathom thistle]

Equipment is from guns to tanks and etc. but honestly you have way better supports slots to use

[remote fractal]

I have nuke but how do I drop it

[modern merlin]

but I checked recently and they have one now

[glacial steeple]

it will go down

[modern merlin]

on the far right

oh

oh so thats why

[dusty sandal]

well yeah, the whole point of civ oversight is to stack compliance
you get around 30% resistance everywhere but then it falls back down to 0% because compliance rises. The more compliance the less resistance, more factories, manpower and resources
it basically pays itself with a profit in a few months

[bright briar]

Yeah its just that I despreatly need more equipment. but does it do anythink in defensive units in general?

How to get enough points for naval invasion

Can't get any

I got like 350 ships

[barren pond]

Why

I am

[glacial steeple]

ships can only patrol 1 zone at a time

[barren pond]

put them on hold for now, but kept them there for a month

[glacial steeple]

so if you assign too many zones

also it needs to be constant

[fathom thistle]

Not worth the cost

[glacial steeple]

its kinda like engineers

[fathom thistle]

For defensive inf you really support arty and AA if you don't have air

[glacial steeple]

you can do it with large divs

sure

it might be fine

small divs never

[fathom thistle]

Engineers are fine if you can afford it

[glacial steeple]

might even be beneficial

tbh the maintanance build is fun
