Then just do 10/8 or 8/10

[vital plinth]

Hey last time i asked regarding Vichy France what to do if to puppet or annex I annexed and puppeted 2 of their states to them and took ressouces

Issue I have is its been 1,5 year compliance is only 12% and I only get access to 40% of ressouces and 33% factories any suggestions what is best to do ?

I want to get more access to mills and civs and if I puppet their whole vichy France what can I do to get more access to my puppet mills and civs

[formal terrace]

who the hell is Horatio Dundas on the monarchist's party????

[vital plinth]

Also this in compliance
Industrial connection giving minus 15% but it’s only on France main lands. ?

[keen hemlock]

random question

what nation are you playing

[crisp ledge]

I saw someone on here say that it's possible to beat the Spanish Republicans before the Carlist uprising occurs, but it seems like there's only a year or so to do that, and you have that stupid Unplanned Offensive modifier. Does anyone have any advice on how to do this?

Also, if you go Carlist and have volunteer divisions from Portugal, Germany, or Italy, will those volunteers join the Falangist revolt, or will they stick with the Carlists?

[pliant condor]

ignore the north

you get it in focus

volunteer doesn't really do anything

even if you aceept them

there are many different ways to finish it quickly

[crisp ledge]

I've done that - in my current save, the Civil War's just started, and I've taken the focus provinces, as well as Eastern Aragon and Castille.

[pliant condor]

in general make sure you keep clicking unplanned and concentrate your african divs

[pliant condor]

which states did you take

before the civil war

with the decisions

[crisp ledge]

One sec

[pliant condor]

^

this is one of the best openings(same as what the ai does)

then in the beginning snake to barcelona

you can encircle barcelona without taking it

then ai will keep shiping division in there for you to kill

[crisp ledge]

Galicia
León
Salamanca
Valladolid
Burgos
Western Aragón
Navarra
Eastern Aragón
Castille

[pliant condor]

ahh

ok first take a sec and read the focus tree

you only took eastern aragon

[crisp ledge]

The majority of those are from the focus.

[pliant condor]

yes

[crisp ledge]

And Castille.

[pliant condor]

^try this

[crisp ledge]

It didn't seem like there was time to take more - should I sacrifice Eastern Aragon and Castille?

[pliant condor]

idk what you mean by castille but

that's also viable

by taking 3 on eastern aragon

and then 1 on barcelona

but you can snake to barcelona regardless

[crisp ledge]

What I had seen said to take the two far northeastern states to force the Regional Defense Council to come in near Gibraltar, splitting their forces.

[pliant condor]

you can take barcelona directly

micro your units in the first few days and remove unplanned on barcelona

[crisp ledge]

So you really need Barcelona for the Nationalists to work?

[pliant condor]

no

usually you don't take it

[pliant condor]

im saying it because of this

this is the easiest trick

[crisp ledge]

I see, I see.

[pliant condor]

or just play normally

it's pretty easy

unplan madrid, kill divs there, then snake south

[crisp ledge]

I guess my main question is, I want to go Carlist - which states should I focus for the Carlist uprising?

Because I was looking at the wiki, and Crusade Against Democracy looks fantastic.

[pliant condor]

it doesn't matter

as far as i know

just make sure you do the focus and fight a 2 side cw not 3

[crisp ledge]

Sounds good. I'll try and sweep Madrid while I'm still Nationalist, then focus Carlist cells in the north.

[crisp ledge]

How do you mean? I thought the Carlist focus automatically meant a civil war within the Nationalists?

[pliant condor]

republicans, I meant

so you don't fight 2 at a time

[crisp ledge]

I see, I see. Crush the Republicans early so you only have to deal with the Nationalists, is what you're saying?

[pliant condor]

yes

nationalist is easy to fight

[dusty sandal]

<@&846894118219022336> here as well

and in #tech-support

[gilded plover]

Look again

[dusty sandal]

look at what ? what's there to see ?

[vital plinth]

Hey guys if I make USA or societ union facist will they join axis vs Allie’s ? Is it possible to have the Allie’s if British goes facist ?

[barren dagger]

based on ideologies and wargoals. No way to predict with current information

[vital plinth]

Also I don’t understand at all why that the limit is 35 witdh? In plain tile it should 70

[dusty sandal]

hover over the tactics

bridge taking reduce combat width

[hoary glen]

Still just click the pic

[jovial wigeon]

any advices regarding infantry template for poland against germany? not sure what width should I use. Some tutorials use old doctrine for -combat width but it is gone I guess?

[vital plinth]

Ah ok all my commanders also show I can pick preferred tactic option I have no idea what it’s about is it important and how to best use it ?

[elder vessel]

Which offensive mountaineering template do you recommend?

[barren dagger]

9 battalion inf. everything else on tanks/AA

[carmine thunder]

when is best time to annex baltics as sov for industry?

[jovial wigeon]

thanks, can you explain why? 😛 no supports?

[barren dagger]

well obviously an engineering/arty company. Only takes like 3 mills on arty ngl

but basically soft attack doesn't mean shit when you can just org wall

so don't waste ic on inf

[fleet reef]

What increases a lot of org in a unit?

[barren dagger]

more human flesh = more org

so armored stuff wont do much

[fleet reef]

Are cavalry any good?

[barren dagger]

see the issue is

infantry gets bonuses as you progress

Cavalry doesnt

1936-1938 sure. It's like mobile infantry

anything past, prolly useless

[vital geode]

With modifier stacking it can.

Otherwise meh

Infantry is better

[fleet reef]

K

[barren dagger]

just do motorized atp honestly

if you need speed

[fleet reef]

At what point is org too low?

In the unit designer

[barren dagger]

ur asking dumb questions. Nothing is too "low" or "high"

depends on circumstances

if you had an insanely high reinforcement rate, You could cheese having extremely low org per div with high quantity

and if ur division has crazy breakthrough, your org won't be touched regardless

[light knoll]

that's not how it works and org is not the only thing that matters

[barren dagger]

exactly how it works. And yes I agree

org is not the only factor

[light knoll]

breakthrough is limited, it caps and not even at a very high point

it just stops you from getting crit

you still take strength and org damage just not crits

[barren dagger]

Regardless. Being able to avoid taking damage offensively prevents you from losing org in battle

you know what. I might be wrong

But regardless, the idea is the same. There are many ways to utilize org

[carmine thunder]

How viable is spirit of defiance as ussr? (Of course combine with other resistance buffs)

[odd canopy]

As Poland yeah, but that's if you can survive for that long.

The Winged Hussars.

(Or if your entire industry is 5 guys and a firm handshake, but you still want to encircle stuff).

[light knoll]

meh

[odd canopy]

If your planning on holding the Stalin-line for a very long period of time, then it seems to be good, since it'll cause issues for the Germans in the occupied territory, but if your not, then I don't see much use-cases for it.

[light knoll]

resistance still doesn't grow fast enough

because the ai uses military governor

[odd canopy]

Yeah probably fair, the allies will probably take Berlin before it becomes anything.

But will they have the supplies to supply their garrisons after throwing men at the Stalin-line for years upon years on end? I think that the bonus would help in that situation, but this is just all hypotheticals so far, because I've never used it myself before.

[cloud sluice]

Can USA only join the allies because of Japan?

[odd canopy]

No, the USA joins on its own a lot of the time via Britain inviting them into the war.

[cloud sluice]

Can you give me an example

[odd canopy]

Uhhhh... Like.. Video proof that they do it?

[cloud sluice]

No just like

If Germany declares war on them?

[odd canopy]

Then they join the Allies.

[cloud sluice]

Ahhh

Also what is faction contribution

[odd canopy]

That goes for any Democratic nation really.

[odd canopy]

Faction Contributation is exactly how it sounds, how much you contribute to the faction, like for example, let's say that your in the Chinese United Front, and you're playing the Guanxi Clique, now usually, the Nationalists is in charge of the faction, but if for some reason they only have 5 divisions, and you have 226, and you're the one that's doing most of the fighting, then your faction contribution raises.

[cloud sluice]

So how was it changed in the update

[odd canopy]

And if it gets to 100%, then it gets easier to take over the faction and become its new leader.

[odd canopy]

I believe that it was just added actually, but I could be wrong about that one.

[cloud sluice]

It was changed from 0.1 to 0.125

Idk what that means

I have 3000 hours too 💔

[odd canopy]

So pretty much.

[cloud sluice]

?

[odd canopy]

Wait..

Let me think if this is right.

Okay, so, I can't really figure out how to explain it, but i'll try my best.

Pretty much, it means that now you don't need to fight as long to get bonuses for your faction.

Oh, and the real numbers is that it got changed from .125 to .1, so wait, progress is actually slower.

Even I'm confused 😭

[cloud sluice]

What?

[odd canopy]

There's faction goals that you can work towards, it might be DLC, I'm not entirely sure on that one, but by helping out your faction, you can get faction specific bonuses.

And now it's slower to unlock them.

[cloud sluice]

Ohh okay

I thought those were based on goals tho

Like completing them

[odd canopy]

I havn't played around with it too much, so I'm not entirely sure specifically what affects it and by how much, but what I do know, is that it's just slower now.

[cloud sluice]

Okayy

So nothing important

The other change was 100x bigger

And nicer

[odd canopy]

Basically.

[somber spear]

hey if i only play in singleplayer and mp with friends is there a good infantry template that will just work (none of us are trying to be super meta)

[cloud sluice]

18 width with support artillery doctrine and recon rangers

[odd canopy]

Just the basic Germany infantry template with support anti tank and support anti aircraft if you just need it to hold the line.

[cloud sluice]

Stupidly simple

[somber spear]

I usually play minors to be honest

[cloud sluice]

Ayo?

[somber spear]

not like that twin

[odd canopy]

Well, then you can cut down on the amount of infantry battalions per division.

But tanks and aircraft will always be an issue, not so much in singleplayer, but in multiplayer, they're the thing that'll keep you up at night.

[somber spear]

do i always need a line holder and a dedicated offensive unit?

[odd canopy]

Well, no.

You can have an infantry divsion template that's both.

But it's just recommended to use some other division template to do the thrusting, but, it's not entirely unreasonable to have 1 that does it all, and is actually beneficial for some nations.

[cloud sluice]

Those are special forces

[somber spear]

I see

[odd canopy]

Or motorized, tanks, maybe cavalry, etc..

[cloud sluice]

But the one I recommended is very good at pushing generally

[cloud sluice]

That’s expensive sometimes and also limited if u want air

[somber spear]

yeah i usually focus on infantry and air

cause tanks will do nothing without air

[odd canopy]

+2 artillery battalions, and boom, offensive unit.

[odd canopy]

Basically.

[odd canopy]

Yeah, that's why I do infantry only as minors (With support companies).

[cloud sluice]

Same

[cloud sluice]

Also if u need another person u can dm me for that since I have a mic

[somber spear]

ty brotha

[lament quail]

any particular strat for these achievements? i want to try and get them all in one run

also some others but those seem pretty straightforward so im js asking abt these

[cloud sluice]

Do the railroad one in a separate game

And just build railroads till 1938 then quit once you get the achievement

[cloud sluice]

Ofc just dm if u want

[vital plinth]

How do I navry strike from land effectively? I’m using g small frame and loosing a lot of them

Do I need more fighters there ? In the ocean there is no enemy fighter atm

Most a shot down by AA

[somber spear]

naval bombing?

I just have them on an airbase by the coast set to naval bomb, your going to a loose a ton of them but your damaging the ships

[vital plinth]

Yeah I’m loosing 2-4 on convoys tho

Should I build medium with more air defense ?

[vital plinth]

Yeha Iran so no fleet I only took what Vichy France had but it’s little Britain alone has 500 ships now lol

[glacial steeple]

you shouldnt lose a lot

just have fighters up to detect ships

[lament quail]

is this enough railroads?

[cloud sluice]

Think so yea

[keen hemlock]

pretty sure you only need one per state

like thats way more than one

[lament quail]

they have to be lvl 5

im just upgrading the starting rails

yk what

since i dont feel like spending a bunch of time on js one achievement

this is going to be my communist italy game

actually no it wont

i do feel like wasting time

[vital plinth]

So me having low amount of fighters can cause me to lose naval bombers ?

Like I’m loosing a lot to convoy anti air for some reason

[vale cypress]

i need a good tank template and div (medium tank) and an infantry division good enough to defeat the USSR and the allies

[keen hemlock]

use spgs over mediums

soft attack is king

[wise dew]

why are my singleplayer saves all gone

[glacial steeple]

well

you just use navs less efficiently

so youre less likely to kill ships

if theres more ships, theres more AA value

though the loss difference shouldnt be huge, you will see less kills

[pliant condor]

no

your naval bomber just won't engage ships

[errant chasm]

new patch that's why

[wise dew]

does czechoslovakia have any new big formables or is it just fighting germany

[vital plinth]

Ah ok I still don’t get why I lose alot of planes to convoys attack tho

It’s like 2-4 planes per naval convoy attack

[errant chasm]

I don't have the dlc unfortunately

[gloomy vector]

do i need to meet the minimum naval dominance amount in all sea zones adjacent to every coastal tile of all core states of mine to get max stab bonus? or are any of these not necessary?

[mystic relic]

One question, how to make a front line but in many countries border?

the only option i'm aware of is to make a front line in a boder.

[visual yacht]

If theyre not in a faction/puppet they have to be seperate frontlines

Actually im not sure if them being in a faction lets you put down 1 frontline

But yeah lazy approach will be to draw a fallback line on the frontline tiles, then when youre at war with all of them you can assign them to a newly drawn frontline.

Or create multiple frontlines and edit/delete them later if you want to build up planning

Im guessing rolling back wont be ironman compatible?

[serene karma]

It is

[hoary glen]

You only need >50% supremacy. The bonus is capped at 10% stab, so if you have that you know you are in enough tiles.

[foggy steppe]

is paratrooper worthit?

[gritty valve]

how does people do the fast infantry spawn tech, like make a new division that only have 1 troop and spam it and then turn it into a 9 troop division?, does this even work?

[neat widget]

yeah

but not the doctrine

[inner sparrow]

you mean converts so that they keep the experience?

[gritty valve]

I saw some pros in YT play it like this, they say it decrease the training time

[inner sparrow]

not really the reason u do it

u can do freaky convert in vanilla. Train a bunch of 2ws, swap to them to 2w aa with equipment turned off and then to a 40/50w with eq turned off

and train them as soon as they are filled with mp

with that u can get mastery and also train convert divs up to lvl3

only real reason u do them is for mastery and being able to have lvl 3 divs

[gritty valve]

i need context what is 2ws and 2w aa and then 40/50w

[serene karma]

2ws is multiple 2 widths

As in 2 widths

2w aa is 2w filled with aa

40/50w means either a 40 or 50width div

[gritty valve]

Oh so what he's saying is i should spam train bunch of infantry division that is 2 width, and swap to 2w with anti air, and then swap to 40/50w

What is 40/50w tho

Like i get it 2width is 2 infantry wide in a division

😄 👍

[serene karma]

Whatever mastery unit u want

The point of the tactic is to get mastery and a unit with experience

[gritty valve]

Oh i understand it now thanks

[inner sparrow]

the important part is that the equipment in the 2w aa and the 40/50w is disabled

else it will not work

[glacial steeple]

clown i need to play germany saturday whats your go-to germany build

[vital plinth]

@glacial steeple hey from Yesterday about the issue with loosing naval bombers I use 300 figthers and 400 naval bombers

And I tend to lose 2-4 bombers when I attack a convoy (2-4 amount )

Not sure if I’m doing anything wrong

[crimson kindle]

Hello guys! Does anyone know any tips on how to manage the military? I mean offense, defense, and everything else? A youtube video would also help

[light knoll]

armored cars

armored cars and helicopters

[glacial steeple]

ohh smart

[light knoll]

maximize speed

[glacial steeple]

have 1K+ fighters per zone minimum

[light knoll]

blitzkrieg

[glacial steeple]

also convoys have AA yeah

[light knoll]

0.1 aa huge

[glacial steeple]

medium frames have double the torps per plane

[glacial steeple]

per ship tho

it adds up

[twin kayak]

Have I been making a mistake by not assigning medals to my divisions ?

[glacial steeple]

its good to do but takes so much pp

[vital plinth]

There is no enemy planes in that seas zone ?

[glacial steeple]

the fighters are to detect ships

they fly around and look for things

[twin kayak]

Is it worth it to use the army spirit that increases the chance of giving out medals automatically ?

[vital plinth]

Ah ok I see only hit subs and few destroyers , so figther dectection also count for ships ?

[vital plinth]

And me loosing a lot of bombers to convoys is it because small airframe air defense is lower ?

[inner sparrow]

improved htd

or special forces bp if pure vanilla

[gritty valve]

You should watch some pro player in your country play in yt step by step, it helps for me and now i'm very much learning about it

[vital plinth]

The Soviet’s put this on me a while back I’m down to 50% popularly not sure is there way I could have prevented this ?

[dusty sandal]

You can't prevent this but you can reduce its effects by doing the decisions against communism

[native gorge]

So like what do you do with carriers

[visual yacht]

did my preggo man just get nuked wtf

[glacial steeple]

boring

[visual yacht]

🫃

[glacial steeple]

it doesnt do it automatically no?

it just gives you the chance more

[glacial steeple]

its because of the AA and youre not killing them very fast

[minor wagon]

What does initiative even do?

[glacial steeple]

coordination + reinforce rate

[minor wagon]

What does reinforce rate and coordination do?

[red mesa]

rr is how quick reserves join the battle when a div cycles out

coordination is to do with how divisions target in battles

[minor wagon]

Cycles out as in lost of org?

[red mesa]

ye

[minor wagon]

May you elaborate?

[red mesa]

https://hoi4.paradoxwikis.com/Land_battle#Targeting

bit tricky to explain

I think the simplest I can describe it is higher coordination will result in you de-org-ing enemy divs slightly better/more?

[minor wagon]

Oh, thank you!

So radio companies are not that worthless?

[dusty sandal]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dcp1ooD_YqY

[minor wagon]

Will watch!

[dusty sandal]

They are in singleplayer

And they aren't that good in mp anymore since now, due to the stat bloat from doctrines, anything below 32width literally dies

[minor wagon]

Ah-

[slender magnet]

what should i do in this situation am dead 💀

[glacial steeple]

i havent been an orgwall believer for longer

finally justice

[dusty sandal]

I hate massmob in mp and hope it dies soon

[dusty sandal]

Concentrate your drops man

Or do you want to get assblasted and just lose divisions ?

[minor wagon]

"Just one more bridge bro, trust me"

[red mesa]

landing in the middle of wales for no reason at all

impressive

[glacial steeple]

well like

it used to be good because like no one could crit in terrains and so

org good

long battles forceable

now long battles way less forcable

[minor wagon]

@slender magnet I'd land here, concentrate everyone there and capture that port

[slender magnet]

okay but what about AA

they are level 5

[red mesa]

yeah? you

[minor wagon]

I once did it in early war and there was no one there lol

[red mesa]

are invading the uk

they always have lvl5

[minor wagon]

Send all your fighter force to allow the paratroops to drop, if your main army gets to their mainland, its over for the UK

[slender magnet]

oak will try it i hope it worked

[minor wagon]

Do you have enough transport planes btw? It's 50 per division

[slender magnet]

no bro that's my huge problem an d i dont have enough rubber i need 24-

[minor wagon]

24? How many factories have you dedicated to them?

[visual yacht]

what tactics should i be putting as preferred with GBP doctrine?

ive always left it blank, looking at it now elastic defence looks pretty juicy

[slender magnet]

it over

💀

https://tenor.com/view/patrick-bateman-paul-allen-card-my-honest-reaction-cell-phone-gif-7681977038259729587

[dusty sandal]

You're germany, you have rubber output buffs and an industrial company to buff refineries build speed

[slender magnet]

ik but i dont have much time to wait

building rubber

[dusty sandal]

You have a bazillion alerts at the top of the screen, adress them

[slender magnet]

and my construction is 15%

[dusty sandal]

You're supposed to plan ahead and build it from jan 39 until you have around 100

[vital plinth]

Should I resseach dive breakers when making naval bombers ?

[dusty sandal]

Why

[slender magnet]

i forget it 😭 🙏

[minor wagon]

@slender magnet Start a game with 3 or 4 factories assigned to transport planes and you should have more than enough when the war starts

[dusty sandal]

You mean dive breaks, right ? Look at the module, is it useful for what you need

[slender magnet]

okay let me guy let me to clean my own mess thanks to u all for it

guidance

[vital plinth]

For naval bombers idk if they good ?

I can’t the weight of topedos and air defense modules on my medium air frame for double engine

It says it gives surface detection with those modules I can unlock from that dive boat resseach

[red mesa]

why does it need air defense? It's a bomber, it should be flying under fighter cover in green air

[dusty sandal]

Except if you send them on port strike, strat bomb or logistrike missions

There, the air defense stat procs

[red mesa]

ah yes, my NAVs going out and logi bombing...

[glacial steeple]

based

the B4Y can do that tho

[red mesa]

Instead of giving the answer, I try to make people figure it out on their own

[red mesa]

encouraging thinking in MY hoi4 server? unthinkable

[dusty sandal]

Half of the people coming here with horrendous designs have the same issue, they add stuff without knowing why

I want them to ask themselves why use something or why not use it, not only what to use

[red mesa]

[glacial steeple]

topazand mindset taking over

well i try that but then when people directly ask for something ill give it as well personally

its a hard line to walk

just go with the vibe and how much caffeine you've had, it's what I do

[dusty sandal]

Half the ship was made of torps and AA

[glacial steeple]

i dont take caffeine so doesnt work :(

[red mesa]

sad

[glacial steeple]

is this the new meta

[hushed vault]

torpedo high dmg on paper

torpedo op

in reality torpedo no dmg

[dusty sandal]

Torps on a ship that gets torped

[hushed vault]

:c

[glacial steeple]

LA DDs with torp are meta rn

[hushed vault]

huh

LA? light cruiser?

[red mesa]

I think spending time doing disasters and watching creep has made me a lot less nice out it all

[dusty sandal]

Me like my 120 torp dd germany sallying in 6 groups to wipe marines during DDAY

[glacial steeple]

it helps to not generalize people

everyone is their individual own idiot

XD

[red mesa]

still fun to play bingo with the mistakes though

[dusty sandal]

I used to be way more lenient, but experience takes a toll on that and you tire of having to battle the exact same argument again and again

[glacial steeple]

did that guy quit hoi btw

the uh

the guy who genuinely had thousands of messages here or whatever and still didnt know how to like

make units

[dusty sandal]

No more messages in a while
Milan something iirc

[glacial steeple]

ohh yeah milan

baba i dont think youd be able to help milan

[red mesa]

Oh that guy

I 'member

needed someone to reach through the screen and click the button for him

that guy

[glacial steeple]

i tried helping him </3

worst hoi4 players hall of fame /hj

no i dont wanna be mean

but its like wow

im impressed yk

[native gorge]

I want to believe he's just trolling

But my chronically online brain makes me skeptical

[dusty sandal]

I told myself it was ragebait

[native gorge]

But like fr what do I even do with carriers

[red mesa]

give it navs, put in surface fleet, sit back and enjoy the fireworks

[dusty sandal]

Put planes on it and watch it wipe enemy big ships

[native gorge]

So like there's no use for naval planes except for being in carriers?

[red mesa]

carrier planes are separate

[glacial steeple]

1067164159655038996 is their id, it seems genuine

[dusty sandal]

You can always use them as regular planes

[red mesa]

normal navs are still good

[native gorge]

Yeah carrier planes I meant

[dusty sandal]

But they cost and weight more

[native gorge]

Wait what

How does a plane meant to be landed on essentially a floating hunk of metal on sea weight more than a plane meant to be landed on solid ground 😭

[vital plinth]

So it’s fine to have free modules on them medium airframes as long as it has 2 topedos ?

[native gorge]

Whatever, it's "Watch Luxembourg conquer the world:" The Game it doesn't matter, so I just use them as regular capital ships? Can I just replace them with battleships?

[red mesa]

wha-?

[glacial steeple]

its for balance

they only weigh 1 more and cost 1 more in IC and weight

but it means theyre seriously worse than normal planes

[vital plinth]

Should I have free modules then if I can’t fit within in the double engine?

For naval and port strike

[deep pagoda]

I CANNOT figure out why some of my ships won't merge into a task force. I have 6 carriers that every time I try to put them into this selected task group, it just instantly kicks them out of it and puts it in that bottom row. Whyyyyyyy???

[dusty sandal]

you have set this fleet with a specific taskforce composition

[sudden owl]

guys help me

What focuses to prioritize for Democratic Czechoslovakia to win against germany in 1938?

[hoary glen]

Probably ones that give you mils and +factory output. Haven't seen the new tree yet

[hoary glen]

No way ppl still use bandi cam. Nice loop tho 👍

[hoary glen]

Standard steps are: Verify integrity of files, clear cache (guide for that in the pins of tech support) and clean reinstall of the game. Try out the first two steps tho.

[sudden owl]

i didit btw but its not work and i uninstall the game and install the game and its not work

[hoary glen]

Btw you had selected initial playset, just to confirm, there are no mods in there?

[tired moon]

I tried playing as the US but can't push the German troops out of France. What should I do? the supply is good

I was thinking maybe mountaineers

[kindred sonnet]

Hello im a noob and want to ask whats a good general army design? Like should i fill armies with line infantry for defensive purpose and tanks/motorized if i want to attack or mix them together? If i do mix them together whats a good ratio?

[hoary glen]

Get better gun tech, grind doctrine, get planning and look at the pins for good templates

Also make sure you have green air and CAS above

[sudden owl]

no modes bro

[tired moon]

okay thank you

[sudden owl]

no dlc

[tropic helm]

CAS the hell out of their trucks

[tired moon]

[hoary glen]

Okay, so one thing you can try out is uninstalling the game, then deleting the Hoi4 folder in documents (back up any saves you still want to play first) and then you reinstall.

[tired moon]

delete the cache

[hoary glen]

If that doesn't work you need to file a bug report on the paradox forum

[tired moon]

go to appdata, find paradox games and delete launcherv2 or whatever its called

that always fixes it for me

[sudden owl]

i did and its not work i remov the game from my hol systeam btw

and i remov btw the lanucher and installed the launcher but its not working

[vital plinth]

@dusty sandal hey man with the naval bombers how should I design the medium frames ? Because I can’t put much modules on before exceeding the weight limit with double engine.

How should I design them ? And what about these dive breakers stats says they give surface detection

[tired moon]

try going to appdata, find paradox launcher and delete launcherv2

and then launch the game from steam

[sudden owl]

i did it its not work

[tired moon]

[sudden owl]

i think bec the eng of the game

fr

[vital plinth]

No air defense ?

What about bomb locks for better port strike

[dusty sandal]

why do you need air defense

[vital plinth]

Or is port strike different design

[dusty sandal]

bombs aren't better than torps

torps are best

[vital plinth]

Il loosing alot of bombers to convoy air defense

[dusty sandal]

it's torp or bombs, not both

[vital plinth]

No I meant at the first module ?

[dusty sandal]

air defence isn't used in naval battle

[dusty sandal]

too heavy

too costly

no purpose

[vital plinth]

Won’t their carrier planes shoot down my bombers or will fighters soak it ?

But that design you made is for naval strike and port strike ?

[dusty sandal]

it's a navbomb to navbomb

you'll get higher losses bombing ports

if you want to do so, use a self sealing fuel tank instead of a turret

[visual yacht]

can someone explain why this makes sense for the game to do?

[dusty sandal]

you selected multiple divisions heading to different areas

and coordination setting is set to flexible

[visual yacht]

they were all set to the front line, i set them all to the fallback line

but why would they not just keep 1x unit in the north where it is

[dusty sandal]

this means that the div at the top was ordered to move first, then to plug the new hole, a division was ordered to move back there

[visual yacht]

and send the south troop to the middle

[dusty sandal]

calculations work as this :

• Each tile has a weight determining what tiles needs more troops
• Orders cannot be cancelled and each div is ordered individually
• Units that just got assigned need to wait an hour before orders actually refresh

When you assigned those 12 divs to the backline, the weight around the line changed, that tile came up with a weight way more important than the top tile. The units you just assigned being on cooldown, it took a unit from the front that could receive an order
Then the units you assigned become available and get ordered back

[vital plinth]

Oh ok I want to destroy their battleships and carriers so idk if port strike is best or is it naval bombing still very new to it thx for the help

[dusty sandal]

navbomb is always better because in portstrikes you take way more losses

[vital plinth]

And they will take their main fleets outside even in 1943 when axis powers ships are mostly destroyed?

[visual yacht]

idk if i explained what i did correctly,

• all 35 divisions (not including the army of 8) were on the frontline
• i drew the fallback line and set everyone to it
• the 2 divisions in the north assigned themselves to the middle
• 1 division in the south assigned themselves to that northern tile

either way it doesnt matter because theyve decided it doesnt work and now no one is in the north XD

[dusty sandal]

dunno

[dusty sandal]

no div is assigned to the north by the looks of it

[visual yacht]

now there isnt which is what i figured would happen because of the small lake, suprised the game assigned units to begin with

[dusty sandal]

you can't draw orders on lakes
it will divide the front in two orders

just create a frontline order for the frontline part on soviets, and another frontline on the polish side

it'll help you get planning bonus too

[visual yacht]

its all soviets when poland capitulates

another curious thing regarding tile weighting, for some reason its prioritized the tile with a single adjacent foreign tile instead of the tile that has 2 adjacent

i guess maybe because theres 4 "support" units next to the river tile

[marble temple]

help on using nukes?
I have strats, at war, have 2 nukes, but no icon for using them in the territory?

[keen hemlock]

Nuclear raid

[visual yacht]

yeah its an air raid now you gotta do

bruh this game is so buggy hoi 5 needs to be in production ASAP

i assigned 5 units to the north tile specifically but theyre not moving off the main fallback line

theyre both assigned to the line and not assigned

schrodingers fallback line

[glacial steeple]

you need to control left click them to assign

its not even a bug

[visual yacht]

i have assigned them haha

[glacial steeple]

or they need to not have any orders before you make the order

[visual yacht]

ive ctrl right clicked to select them to see where they are

[glacial steeple]

did you unpause

[visual yacht]

yes

[glacial steeple]

they should move over usually

[visual yacht]

yes they logically should

[glacial steeple]

truly a cropped screenshot moment

im sure theres something like general cohesion being set to low or 0

[visual yacht]

my theory the issue is its all 1 fallback line so its split the line but the north part isnt actually usable which is why im calling it a bug

[glacial steeple]

dont make lines across oceans/lakes

[visual yacht]

this is after ive created 2 seperate lines with 1 dedicated to the north

[glacial steeple]

just make seperate ones

[visual yacht]

if you must know

i know now, im just saying its misleading for it to break the line but still be assignable

[glacial steeple]

yes that would explain it

[visual yacht]

hence me calling it buggy

[glacial steeple]

bugs are like distinct but i get you

game design flaw

[visual yacht]

bugs add flavour 😍

[glacial steeple]

like the infinite spawn tank conversion thing a while ago was a bug

and it was fixed

[dusty sandal]

doesn't prevent you from assigning 2 orders

you'll just consolidate afterwards

[visual yacht]

yeah youre right i realised it doesnt matter if it turns soviets, can still prep planning on poland/germany

the planning bonus doesnt boost attack on defensive battles right? didnt use them to push in the beginning anyway

[dusty sandal]

no, it's only on attacks, but having it is always a good thing considering you might have to counterattack or pin to hold another tile

[keen hemlock]

Does ideological loyalty still given manpower if you are in exile

[desert granite]

Why didnt i get finnish him achievmnent although i had like 87 precent war participation. i didnt join a faction but i created a faction (finnish supermacy league)

[keen hemlock]

You prolly can’t create one either

[dusty sandal]

it's basically bugged and you need to be the one to cap them, ie, take the VP that makes them cap
ideally, you just rollback to 1.14, before AAT DLC and just order 66 the soviets

[tough wedge]

i wanna invade romania as hungary with communist path, how can i defeat the romanians with an army of 24 divisions?

[west relic]

what is the best way for czechoslovakia after i chosed benes?

?

can somone answer?

?

[desert granite]

could u explain how i do that excactly?

[visual yacht]

its been half a year vs'ing russia as baltic republic and theyre already out of guns, does that normally happen XD

[dusty sandal]

1 - ensure you have base focus tree (easier) and go for communist, pick the advisors and all. Build only mils, infantry, and spam out small divisions (2w for small victory points, 12width with support arty for bigger VP). Start an intelligence network and upgrade spy agency + get the spy advisor asap after getting the communist guy.
2 - once you reach 60% intel, you put one spy on silent network, the others work on collab governements (you need 2 at bare minimum, 3 is best)
3 - become communist, ask for military access to soviets, start positionning troops around their victory points. Avoid coastal cities and cities on borders as they'll be defended
4 - once you're ready with the collabs and troops positionned, you justify on mongolia/tanu tuva and declare war (MUST BE DONE BEFORE GERMANY DECLARES WAR. Aim for december 1939)
5 - soviets join war, your troops take over VPs and they cap. You get the achievement. You might have to micro, use last stand a force attack a bit too

[inner canopy]

im missing this achievement i just cant figure out how to turn 2nd republic i did slovak autonomy focus then gave up sudetenland and it didnt happen can anyone help?

[desert granite]

ty

[dusty sandal]

hover over the achievement in the game

[dusty sandal]

perhaps you need a specific leader ?

or a focus later on

[inner canopy]

when sudetenland happens you do get an option to swap leader to some military dude i picked that option maybe that affects it?

tho sooner after i saw nothing changed i swapped to civilian government still nothing happened

and there isnt a focus to do it

[dusty sandal]

that's probably that

[marble temple]

ty
achievement gained.

[vital plinth]

I brought these from Germany are they medium or large airframe ?

[dusty sandal]

medium

and they're awful at what they do btw

for heavy fighters they have very low stat

[vital plinth]

I wants to convert but can’t or don’t have the option to

Only the other type of German plane basic medium I can convert

[dusty sandal]

you can't convert planes you got from the market iirc

you can convert planes you get from cap or capture but iirc there's something about the market that used to mess with conversion

[inner canopy]

ok well if someone finds or knows a comprehensive guide on how to become 2nd republic as czechoslovakia ping me or something

[west relic]

why germany always defat me

[vital plinth]

Oh ok Damm haha

@dusty sandal Can you help me with a final question about annex and puppet I’m very confused when to annex or puppet a country it’s very confusing to decide what is best because some said I should annex others said I should puppet

[dusty sandal]

as who

[vital plinth]

Last time it was regarding Vichy France

[west relic]

as czehchoslovakia

[dusty sandal]

basically, always annex

except if you don't want to deal withsepecific resistance area

like africa

[dusty sandal]

show the build

my guess is the classic no AA, no gun rush, bad doctrine, no micro

[vital plinth]

Why annex ? Doesn’t it take very long long to build compliance and get all factories and reasouxes ?

[west relic]

i already lost i went for benes

and anti fasisct

[vital plinth]

Im playing Iran so small country at the time of the annex

[west relic]

benes and anti fasisct

[dusty sandal]

basically you get more resources and factories by nanexing almost every time

[dusty sandal]

I still need to know the build before being able to provide any sort of targeted advice

[west relic]

what way should i go

[dusty sandal]

democracies and communist countries should always annex no matter what because they have the best occupations laws btw

[west relic]

i did this

[dusty sandal]

not talking about focuses but talking about your build

[west relic]

of divisions?

[dusty sandal]

what units were you using, what were you producing, what doctrines, what generals, what army organization, what lines did you hold, what advisors did you pick, how much you had in stockpile etc

the build is far from just focuses

[west relic]

i had like 4 k guns and 100 aritilery 100 suport equip 48 div and basic templete no doctrine

[dusty sandal]

in stockpile ?

[west relic]

yes

[dusty sandal]

manpower ?

AA ?

where did you hold ? what was your strat

did you micro your divisions ?

[west relic]

100k

[dusty sandal]

what factories did you build ?

[west relic]

?

[dusty sandal]

move them around

not just watch red bubbles

[west relic]

k

civils and mil

[dusty sandal]

move divs manually, some tiles get attacked less so you NEED to shuffle reserves around following where the ai attacks

[dusty sandal]

why civs

[west relic]

idk should i build only mil?

[dusty sandal]

why would you build civilians or why would you build mils ?

ask yourself whjy you do something

why do you want to build civs

[west relic]

what should i build?

[west relic]

to do fortification

[dusty sandal]

do you have enough equipment ?

[west relic]

yes

[dusty sandal]

I'm specifically asking about AA

[west relic]

rn i started new game i lost

[dusty sandal]

because forts with no AA (both static and in divisions) are absolutely useless as they'll get bombed out in a month

[west relic]

what is aa

?

[dusty sandal]

anti air

no anti air ? you're dead

simple as

you can't pierce tanks and you die from enemy air

[west relic]

forgot

k

can you show div build

[dusty sandal]

9inf, support arty and AA
ideally, add 1 line AA batallion in intense no air situations

that's to hold btw, no main attack with this

[west relic]

k

[quaint sky]

if the airbase is close to the battlefield does that make it more efficient?

[dusty sandal]

not directly
it's rather linked to the plane range

if a plane can't reach the whole region it gets a mission efficiency penality which caps the final stats they'll have

[vital plinth]

Dont I get full ressoxues by puppet and choosing that option of taking all ressoxues to myself?

[dusty sandal]

you never get full resources with puppets

I mean without peace conference

you'll be capped at 75% tops
also, you'll need to trade for it, meaning others can take it if oyu don't get resource rights

[wise dew]

how do i use defensive templates

[dusty sandal]

wdym

by definition defensive templates defend

so they just have to sit there

[wise dew]

like put them on a defensive order?

or like behind the line to help with enemy offensives

[keen hemlock]

Use them as your frontline troops

[scarlet musk]

What? Like a trackback line or smth?

[vital plinth]

You can’t make puppets or annex without peace conference right ?
But there is the option to take away ressource right I Saw isn’t it easier to puppets and do that and also use their man power than annexing and waiting long before you get the ressources ?

[keen hemlock]

Some focuses can give you resource rights

Like the German Swedish trade deal one

[vital plinth]

Yeah it’s more in general when to puppet or annex

It’s 1943 for me and only am at 19% for France in compliance unfortunately

[crimson kindle]

Alr thanks

Do you know any professionals from Hungary?

[gritty valve]

and also try to adapt and play like them always bro yk you can't learn how to swim by looking at the water 😂 🤝

[crimson kindle]

Ofc 🙂

[gritty valve]

Welp i'm not from europe

[keen hemlock]

it really depends on the country you are playing and puppeting

[crimson kindle]

Alr

[keen hemlock]

like if you have a compliance gain guy or a spirit like the bulgarian patriarchate, ill just annex

[vital plinth]

As Iran I have a great 10% boost to compliance and later on around 1942 one that gives more compliance

My issue is early on I have very low man power and industry I need civs fast to scale up mills

[keen hemlock]

yeah the middle eastern nations really dont have alot of manpower

[lilac vine]

whihc of the 2 is better?

[twin kayak]

Yeah, that’s what I said. But is it worth « wasting » an army spirit slot this ?

[ocean bane]

Hello

Its this design good against AI? Or for fleet wich design its better?

Also, i saw one strat but the video its old, its still posible, GER Subs only?

[inner sparrow]

comb arms is better

if ur using actual mechs

[lilac vine]

for mixed tank/mech division too?

[vital plinth]

I will have later haha but early is tough so what do you think ?

Should I puppet vichy France and then annex later when I build on it

[keen hemlock]

if you arent trying to gain cores id steal manpower

[inner sparrow]

yes

[errant chasm]

Hello clown

[inner sparrow]

hey

[errant chasm]

Yo rate my battleship. It's not meta but I based it off the RB SHBB

[keen hemlock]

why can you only put 5 dockyards on bbs and carriers

[errant chasm]

Balancing I guess

[fathom thistle]

It's fine but idk if I would make them for ic efficiency

Heavy cruisers cheaper for schreening carriers

[inner sparrow]

not a fan of battleships for navy but it seems fine

[keen hemlock]

makes sense

[wise dew]

how do people make templates like these i cant put artillery under infantry

[errant chasm]

Hello Harrison

[errant chasm]

That was before the 1.13 update

There's answer

[scenic nacelle]

Or mods

[inner sparrow]

just a recommendation but dont listen to 98% of division youtube guides

they are completely bs

[wise dew]

then what should i use

[tired moon]

how can I divide my airforce so that they do some close air support on all the armies

[wise dew]

im playing italy tryna restore rome like my 10th attempt and my closest one got disintegrated by the update what should i use for offensives

[inner sparrow]

pinned templates in this channel are good enough in sp

[fathom thistle]

That small plane icon above your army

You can attach your planes to them

[wise dew]

i dont see any infantry ones

[inner sparrow]

ur offensive divion against ai doesnt matter that much, ur gonna be fine with any 16 width pure inf that has support arty in them if u have green air

[inner sparrow]

bc offensive inf doesnt really exist

[tired moon]

i know how to attach them, i wanted to know if there was an easy way to attach them all to the armies equally

[inner sparrow]

best there is would be sf

[wise dew]

for italy should i go for that tank division that i see in pins

[fathom thistle]

Doing it manually ig

[inner sparrow]

u should go for air with cas and inf

[inner sparrow]

thats all u need against ai

any country

[wise dew]

what is cas

[fathom thistle]

You want offensive inf?

[inner sparrow]

close air support

[wise dew]

close air support nevermind

[fathom thistle]

Just keep in mind you want to have at least 200 breakthrough or otherwise don't do it

[inner sparrow]

if u have cas u win with nearly any division tempalte

ur templates dont matter that much against ai

theres more important stuff

[slim bridge]

I’m playing Czechoslovak State (fascist) and ate up Germany with my own faction and the allies together, but made the mistake of after the war declaring on Transylvania and them joining the allies (including what remains of Germany). Can Soviets, Czech, and Italy take down the allies in 1942, or is this a restart angle?

[inner sparrow]

take them down urself

[wise dew]

best i can do is 50

why does the tank division in pins use amtracs

[inner sparrow]

special force bonuses

its overkill for ai

[slim bridge]

I am a fairly new hoi player and I mainly built tanks, no Air Force. I’m not sure I have the ability to do that. Idk how hard it will be to fight a war on literally all fronts, N/S/E/W

[wise dew]

i need overkill i supersuck at this game

[inner sparrow]

if ur new then start again

[dim salmon]

super italy

[inner sparrow]

the overkill that makes u win at this game no matter how bad u are is green air and cas

[gleaming grove]

Does it make sense to have like 1 super heavy amphibious unit that crosses rivers easily to cross rivers for your other units? And you only use them to cross rivers and than fall back with that unit after establishing a foothold on the other side?

[obsidian badger]

wasnt there a cheese

where if a focus adds a production line for ships

that if u made a class of the same name

it would use that design

instead of the shitty default design

can u still do that?

[shrewd rain]

Hey guys! I'm an intermediate modder in the game (General Modder on Steam if you want to see my stuff), and I recently got a new PC. But now, when I create a new mod, it lets me set it up and launch the game with it, but it doesn't load it. In the debug mode error file, it's blank and says "File path not found," so I suspect it has something to do with it. I verified the integrity of the files and it didn't work. I even copied over code from my other mods that worked on my last PC, but they also didn't work. However, normal mods work completely fine and I haven't had a single crash yet. (I create new mods from the creator in the launcher)

[jovial wigeon]

why this is so trash? can't win even if attacking from 5 provinces

[obsidian badger]

#modding

[keen hemlock]

Those are frontline units

You need attacking templates

[jovial wigeon]

what attack template can I use if poor and no tanks?

[obsidian badger]

mountaineers

36 width

also germany is entrenched, on a mountain tile, and has 3x ur unit stats

[keen hemlock]

Special forces

Terrain is also a big factor

[jovial wigeon]

this one?

[keen hemlock]

Get some more support companies

Rangers, arty, med flame tank, assualt engineers

[vital plinth]

Hey guys I have an issue I’m fighting Allie’s 1943 USA is not using it’s navry anymore they have over 240 ships and aren’t and letting Japan taking their islands only UK is dominating whole world with navry atm how come ?

[sand ember]

Youre attacking mountains with infantry and also it may look like a lot of divisions vs a little bit in reality its only a 7v5

[vital plinth]

Did they not just do a rework of navry ai to make them better ?

[sand ember]

You also have probably no planning and looks like not much tech

And your invasions are just basic line holder infantry

You have to attack other places, that’s not a good tile for now

[jovial wigeon]

but they can push me from the mountains 🙁

thanks tho

[obsidian badger]

add support companies and arty

usually 2 line arty is fine

[keen hemlock]

On mountaineers yeah

Mountain gun is a good buff depending on who you are

[keen hemlock]

Go for holding the line in your mountaineer doctrine to add more

[jovial wigeon]

so the goal is not extend past 36?

I see the doctrine

[keen hemlock]

Ye

Best width for attacking

[sand ember]

Not for mountains

[keen hemlock]

In general

If ur making mountaineers specifically for mountains

I think it’s 25

[jovial wigeon]

no no, forests/plains

I will try to just hold the mountains

[keen hemlock]

You could add rangers in there too

I like doing that

[jovial wigeon]

thanks

any hints for defensive templates? I can hold more or less against german's infantry but sooner or later there are 2-3 tanks and they can push

[keen hemlock]

You should also prolly get field hospital for these guys

[keen hemlock]

18 width with support arty and aa

[jovial wigeon]

ok so this is the default one

not strong enough 😄

[keen hemlock]

Yeah

[glacial steeple]

no lol

[jovial wigeon]

I fortified river with forts, 5 x 24 divs and they pushed, now it is over 😄

[sand ember]

Rip

[sand ember]

Just so you know there’s a way better frontline system if you use a field marshal

Instead of making an individual frontline for each general

[jovial wigeon]

🤔

one global frontline? I thought I will split it per army because some locations are more important 😄

for example Katowice and its resources

[dusty sandal]

those divs aren't proprely equipped

[tired moon]

can yall tell me what these are??

i mena the icons

[dusty sandal]

and you can't just stack frontlines on top of each other, the repartition of troops will be horrific

use field marshal frontlines
and maintain SHIFT when assigning it so it creates a fluid version that doesn't need tinkering everytime it moves a tile

[dusty sandal]

SPGs

[tired moon]

like the tanks and stuff

[keen hemlock]

spgs, mediums, mech

[dusty sandal]

it's SPGs

medium SPGs to be precise. Arty tanks

[keen hemlock]

can you license produce special projects?

[dusty sandal]

yup

but you'll still have to research it yourself to be able to put it in divs

[keen hemlock]

ah

okay another question

how much "logistics" does a supply hub output per day

or does it not work like that

[sand ember]

I have no idea

you put the supply until you have enough supply

And you don’t think about it any more than that

[hoary glen]

It depends on the connected railway level.

[keen hemlock]

lets assume

level 5

[dusty sandal]

it's not per day it's per hour
it's 15 base if lvl 1 connection (river or railway)
it's 5 more per each lvl up of connection

[keen hemlock]

so 40 per hour?

[jovial wigeon]

what should they have?

[keen hemlock]

or 35

[dusty sandal]

I mean they aren't fully equipped

they're lacking equipment

[sand ember]

You don’t have enough equipment, see the orange bars

There are men without guns

[hoary glen]

Also remember it spreads in an area but has a proximity. So if you're further away it will be less supply per tile.

[dusty sandal]

depends on what they lack, but for example if it's AA, it is the reason why you're losing

[keen hemlock]

thank you

[hoary glen]

35

[glacial steeple]

https://tenor.com/view/arting-siamese-cat-gigachad-ambatukam-ambasing-gif-26293326

[keen hemlock]

oh shi

hi

[keen hemlock]

do you know how ports scale

[glacial steeple]

ok so

level 1 port is cheap and gives 8 supply

with railway its 15

put fleet in big level base and use level 1 if need ground supply

fleet can be pretty far off usually

[keen hemlock]

how much would a level 10 port with a level 5 railway give

[glacial steeple]

like 35

[keen hemlock]

oh ok

so

lets say we are italy

trying to supply north africa

the highest port is level 3 and we have a level 10 port

with a level 5 railway

will we just get 35 supply because of the railway?

also how much suppy can a convoy carry

[hoary glen]

Hiii @glacial steeple

[tired moon]

they have nearly no divisions

[hoary glen]

The wiki is your friend 😅

[tired moon]

am i doing everything right

[tired moon]

i only sent these guys

they actually had more trouble with slovakia compared to the ussr

Fine, not doing it again 😡

[vital plinth]

Hey guys I’m in 1943 USA stopped using its navry only Uk is domanting navry on the whole world any idea why USA stopped disnt they just improve navry AI ? USA has over 250 ships left still

[tired moon]

where do i get spg's again

[sand ember]

You don’t get them

You design a tank and set it as an spg role

[tired moon]

hm

i dont have the dlc that has the tank designer though

[sand ember]

Oh

No idea then

[tired moon]

what are the best designs for no dlc

[keen hemlock]

its one of the small tabs on the right of the icon

in the tankr esearchable tree

but for no dlc pretty sure you want to be using something else

[tired moon]

As in visual-wise or just how to win the war?

[tired moon]

visual wise

[lusty basin]

zoom out until the map groups up units automatically

[tired moon]

well then how can I see where the enemy units are moving

[lusty basin]

i only zoom in when i need to micro manage or just want to check on specific troops

[tired moon]

how do you get these

[jovial wigeon]

[frank bear]

What can i do?

[vital plinth]

Hey the recent rework did it supposed to improve navry ? I have issue at 1943 where USA stops using it navry or patrols just sits in with 200 ships

[keen hemlock]

fighting in wars, lend lease

[tired moon]

Also what should I do to fight in americas

and how do I get more naval supremacy again

[keen hemlock]

naval patrol

strike force is a multiplier iirc too

[keen hemlock]

wdym by this

[tired moon]

well how do I get it down

so i can annex them

[keen hemlock]

build in them, lend lease

convoys and im pretty sure trains

are good to lower it

buying from them on the market or receiving lend lease raises it

so dont do those

[tired moon]

😭

NOOOOOO

[jovial wigeon]

why am I losing? they drain my org so quick

there is river, fort level 2

[dusty sandal]

you're getting bombed into the shitter
you can't fill the combat width while they can

[jovial wigeon]

I have fallback line setup, how can I transform it into front without collapsing everything? 😄

[sand ember]

you kind of dont

basically just make a frontline that covers the same tiles as the fallback order and pray

[dusty sandal]

pause the game, take a save, delete it, select the field marshal holding all the armies, select the frontline tool, then maintain SHIFT and assign the line
