[turbid ingot]

how do i do that

[wind canyon]

Hover over mp

[uncut narwhal]

hover over the manpower

[wind canyon]

There is a percentage

Of how much you should have and how much your currently at

[turbid ingot]

ehh no idea

[iron veldt]

who are you playing as

[uncut narwhal]

hover over the manpower and send ss

[uncut narwhal]

fully mobilized

go to extensive

as germany

your usually fine on extensive

[turbid ingot]

wym by extensive 😭

[uncut narwhal]

extensive conscription lol

[turbid ingot]

ehhh

idk what that is...

[uncut narwhal]

your conscription law bro

rn your on limited

to up to extensive

100pp

[turbid ingot]

where do i do that 😭

[wind canyon]

Click flag top left

Then go down to law and government

[turbid ingot]

ahh

found it

thank you

[wind canyon]

Nws

[uncut narwhal]

also dont go up a law while not fully mobilized

[wind canyon]

Make sure you dont go above extensive until you mobilized everyone

[turbid ingot]

alright

[wind canyon]

Cz going higher on the conscrip law dosent change how fast you get mp

[turbid ingot]

okay got it thanks

[vital plinth]

Wait when getting license from a ally is there 25% debuff on production of it ?

[iron veldt]

yes

[pastel tiger]

Does anyone know the conditions for the Aden transfer event?

[flint grotto]

I want to skip the war with Poland and make it fascist (I want to do the Focus Danzig for Slovakia instead of Danzig or War) should i do that i have never done that

[keen hemlock]

you should try to boost their fascist support and start a civil war with a coup

[night spire]

Question, When launching the HOI4 Launcher not the Paradox V2 Launcher, but the Hoi4 launcher i get the error ''A JavaScript error occured in the main process'' what does this even mean and what can i do when this pops up everytime when launching the hoi4 launcher?

[vagrant pasture]

I'm pretty sure there are no conditions, you always have to transfer away from Raj. Although I might be wrong.

[pastel tiger]

I remember playing once as king's party UK and I didn't get the transfer.

[light knoll]

how do i use nukes

[uncut narwhal]

plan a raid

with a nuke

[rain bluff]

is conc industry arguably superior if i know what im doing

[light knoll]

just used missiles at the end but still didn't figure out how am i supposed to do it with bombers

[uncut narwhal]

where you can select all the raids, there is a symbol for nukes

press it

[faint nimbus]

kaiserredux

[uncut narwhal]

play malta rome path

[vital plinth]

Hey I have an issue where i reloaded to a past save now when i start the timer the game shuts down entirely evrytime
Anyone know what to do ?

[scenic nacelle]

Save is corrupted

Start new game

[stray atlas]

Hi I get javascript error when opening Victoria 3 and HOI4 can smn help me :((

[rustic sparrow]

Hi guys

Got a clear surplus of medium tanks but

Why isn’t it being added into my divisions?

[meager pier]

wait for it to be delivered

[rustic sparrow]

Kk

[iron veldt]

where are your divisions located

[manic valve]

I dont believe that im going to say that ever in my life but as sowjet union im going to run out of manpower... anything I can do except going for even more expensive conscription law or agitrop (already did)?

[iron veldt]

garrison laws

change it to one cav template & local police force

& look up manpower in focus tree

[gleaming grove]

Are tactical bombers like CAS but stronger?

[iron veldt]

no

CAS gives bonus to infantry

bombers damage infrastructure & buildings

[rain bluff]

what width would be better, 35.7 or 30.6

[manic valve]

thanks but didnt help alot and there are no more focuses i could do. should i do the next conscription law or just having too low manpower?

[iron veldt]

yeah you can do that

[lone tangle]

whats the difference between and

[iron veldt]

3 army groups is also a lot

same thing

[lone tangle]

so the fact that the "+" is missing, doesn't mean anything?

[halcyon perch]

Would anyone be down to hop in call and I can screen share to help me out with the basics?

[iron veldt]

i don’t think so

i’m not sure what i’m looking at

[lone tangle]

its from a decision

[rain bluff]

what width would be better, 35.7 or 30.6

[fathom thistle]

10+5 by modifying

[vast steppe]

how can you get a field marshall rulling the soviet union and ow do you choose ich one its gonna be?

[lone tangle]

but its two different decisions which are feeling like they are excluding each other

[fathom thistle]

read, the left modifies the already existing one. You have now danish produce with 10 percent con goods, the left picture modifies that bonus by those stats on left

If you would go with right you would lose those bonuses but on +side you would get-10% con goods

[slender ginkgo]

How many divs should I use when trying to take ethiopia

[uncut narwhal]

get everything from the homeland

just split them kinda equally

put the mountaineers in the north

i do like a 60/40 split

want more in the north usually

dont forget air

[lone tangle]

i see thank you!

[uncut narwhal]

only cas tho

[slender ginkgo]

What would be a good template here?

[iron veldt]

you don’t beed to change the template

the starting units are sufficient

[slender ginkgo]

And should I like assign all homeland units here?

[iron veldt]

yes

[half glade]

whats the best mountaineers div for a really REALLY bad nation like afghan

because i fear flame tanks arent really viable early afghan

[fathom thistle]

25w if not then go lower

[half glade]

what are the support divs i should get

like

in order from most important

to get this if you have the resources and research

[fathom thistle]

Suppiort art -> Support aa

mountain rangers if you can get them it would be good to

[half glade]

what research do mountain rangers even need

is it just the doctrine?

then like support equipment and trucks?

[fathom thistle]

basically first mountain doctrine unlocks them

and then there is another mountain buff for it

[half glade]

ah okay

im going to play afghan now

[fathom thistle]

gl!

[half glade]

hopefully no civil war

because

theyre really

really painful

idk if ive ever won one

[dusty sandal]

use your bombers

don't change templates

[drowsy holly]

hi how do i learn hoi4

[cinder plinth]

i just bought hearts of iron would anyone be willing to help me learn some basics?

[iron veldt]

youtube

[strange ibex]

Uhm

Why can't i research paratroopers

I don't even see the option

how do I get them

[iron veldt]

wdym

infantry research at the bottom

[strange ibex]

I don't see them in infantry research

[iron veldt]

look down

[strange ibex]

Yeah

[iron veldt]

screenshot

[strange ibex]

Oh

Its the helmet

not the infantry with the + icon

[iron veldt]

yes haha

[strange ibex]

I thought that was the correct tab.

Thanks!

[iron veldt]

no problem

[half glade]

did you mean 24w here

also german volunteers are so broken in afghan war

so happy i did that focus

[fathom thistle]

• one line AA so you wouldn't need support one. 24w is fine too

[half glade]

like this?

[fathom thistle]

AA not arty

[half glade]

ah sorry lol

im not making AA rn

so ill add that soon

[dusky heart]

If i am in the middle of a treaty and select terretory to puppet and stuff, can i save there and i am going to be at the moment again, if i load the save or will it automatically close?

[iron veldt]

why not support AA?

[fresh viper]

in teachers here for beginners ?

[iron veldt]

dm me

[fathom thistle]

maxing out optimal width

24w works fine too tho

[iron veldt]

ah

[neat widget]

add more mountaineers

[primal silo]

actually remove 1?
25w is ideal for actual mountains

[errant chasm]

no 32 width is

[errant chasm]

remove the line arty

[primal silo]

mountain width is 50+25x ...

[errant chasm]

iirc you could squeeze 1.33x more width into the division

[primal silo]

yes, but you get combat penalties that are (slightly) bigger than the extra stats you squeeze in

ideally you want to match the width, but being off is not too bad since the rework, apart for a couple specific widths that work worse than most.
But if you are optimizing for one specific terrain, you should definitely try to conform 1/2 of its base width

[halcyon perch]

Can someone help me with this game? It’s been 2 days and I can’t even move my soldiers

The yt tutorials are so ha d

[vital plinth]

How exactly does it work with using spies to increase trade and get more resources per trade ?

[primal silo]

to clarify, spy trade mission doesn't give you more resource per civ

[iron veldt]

watch bittersteel

[vital plinth]

Oh ok only puppets give more per civ ?

[primal silo]

yes, apart for some specific changes in some focus trees

[gleaming grove]

when i only got active templates with modern tanks should i use medium or light tanks or cav for Garrison? Production isnt an issue

[primal silo]

if production is not an issue, light tanks (WW1 chassis, everything as cheap as possible, easy maintenance if you have it)

[gleaming grove]

i dont have that dlc

[primal silo]

well, unless you chase absolutely minor MP saving for a significant IC increase, then heavies

[primal silo]

well, cheapest light tank you can make even if outdated

[neat widget]

but you struggle with losses more because your division is smaller

32w is typically the ideal for mountains for this reason

plus mountaineers will be used in non-mountain non-marsh terrain too

[warped river]

I have a question, is there a way to make use of the motolov ribbentrop pact and force the ussr to take poland for me

I want to know how to make the ussr invade poland, like is it with the treaty or do i have to wait for the 17 of september 1939 and then demand it

[errant chasm]

never appens in game

the ussr never attacks poland

[lament mason]

will "naval mission efficiency" buff cas if its deployed from a carrier?

[warped river]

Wow.

[warped river]

Guess i can't invade early

[versed rose]

on top of the fact that overwidth has grown more and more of a joke with how many bonuses you can apply to offset the penalties, and since the bonuses are %, they work better the more stats you have. i.e bigger = better

[errant chasm]

no you can. you can solo poland as germany alooe

[versed rose]

with every major patch, divisions get ever so slightly larger, its like paradox wants the divisions obese or something /s

[warped river]

I know but i also want to invade the balkans

[errant chasm]

Divisions should be reworked to be smaller imo. It's overpowered, unrealistic, and silly.

[warped river]

and with just infantry i dont think

i can get enough

by then

[errant chasm]

invade them later in 1941

[warped river]

guess that works

is there an optimal stormtrooper template

like do i just replace scout for stosstruppen

[errant chasm]

yeah that works remove the support at for support arty

[warped river]

Bet

[versed rose]

that one is old

there isnt a doctrine that gives -0.4 cw anymore

modern inf bricks would be using recon tank at minimum, super heavy arty, flame tank etc.

statbloat from those support companies too big to ignore for inf

[uncut narwhal]

add flame tanks and shh if you have nsb

[astral anchor]

idk if what im asking for applies because im asking help with a mod

but what is the best templates for TFR american civil war im playing as NSM

[gleaming grove]

Where do i get that occupation modifier?

[vital geode]

Have compliance be 90% i believe

[kind lark]

Hi guys, I saw someone say line artillery is mid but I like to pair them with infantry for defending. Is this not ideal?

Like in my historical France game I'm using 7inf2art

[vital geode]

9/0 is quite good for defending

More org and defense

Artillery provides a nice amount of soft attack, but doesn't give much else stat wise

Also it is 3 width instead of 2 width

[kind lark]

Say you start running low on manpower does it make sense to use line art in place of infantry or does it make more sense to use tanks or some other unit for defending?

[austere roost]

just build spgs

line artillery is horrible and there's a video in pins talking about why

[spark cedar]

i been trying to take mexico for a full week, i become communist, destory the civil war then i attack mexico. Once im half way into mexico then italy and germany send troops and i get into a stalemate, then my troops get tired without alot of supplies and its like 1946 and i cant break through

[austere roost]

and also 7/2 is from pre-COVID

[spark cedar]

any help???

[kind lark]

Thank you!

[magic finch]

who is the best infantery template?

[austere roost]

just read above comments to see

[wind canyon]

whats a good spg design? im a bit confused i just got nsb all the new tank stuff is kinda confusing

[austere roost]

max out soft attack, that's it

get a three men turret and the only other two "good" modules that don't buff soft attack but can be put on is lvl3 radio and easy maintenance

[wind canyon]

alr how about tanks? im assuming using mediums still?

[austere roost]

don't build them

just use spgs or tds

[dusty sandal]

medium SPGs

don't use TDs in singleplayer, only in multiplayer

[tired cedar]

how the hell do i win as the german empire? what do i do?

ive tried multiple times

before gotterdamerung i conquered the whole world

[celest vale]

wtf bug ?

73 division not enought anschluss lol

[wind canyon]

they full equiped?

[wind canyon]

wdym? its germany just don't get surounded on two fronts

[celest vale]

they never want full equiped i only need 43 all time i doing this

[wind canyon]

handle the russians first then the allies

[celest vale]

only this game happen this

[wind canyon]

uh not sure then ig austria is pumping out a bigger army

and they don't want to intergrate

[obsidian spade]

is this template good

width 35

??

[wind canyon]

is this an attacking or deffending?

[obsidian spade]

attacking

ig

[wind canyon]

yeah cz i was gonan say if this is a deffending template its way to big

[wind canyon]

i mean personally i think against the ai and with the right doctrines it should be good enough but i'm sure someone else is gonna tune in

[obsidian spade]

is grand battleplan right or mobile warfare?

[wind canyon]

imo gbp is better cz of the planning bonus

but if you value high speed then mw is better

[obsidian spade]

what about this for tanks? use medium tanks when research is done

and add logistics

[wind canyon]

do you have no step back?

[obsidian spade]

what does that mean?

[wind canyon]

its a dlc

[obsidian spade]

no

dont have any dlcs

[wind canyon]

mm alr imo you don't need this many tanks

and you don't have enough mobile inf

remember tanks take away from your organization

so strip it down to 6-8 tanks but also balance it with motorized inf too

you wanna aim somewhere around 20-30ish orginization

[tired cedar]

thats kinda the problem

[vital geode]

It probably would work well enough. Maybe add a flame tank if you have it

Oh, no dlc

[obsidian spade]

30 width and 30 org now

[wind canyon]

what is it?

[tired cedar]

i take paris from fascist france, italy joins. then britain bc its also fascist. then the US apparently joins bc its guaranteeing belgium

its the stupid shit

thats what ruins me

[vital geode]

Light tanks are quite mediocre, but the speed might see some use

[tired cedar]

ofc i cant naval invade britain bc their navy got buffed and idk jack shit abt navy

[tired cedar]

theyre beyond useless

lmao

use mediums only

[vital geode]

I've successfully used lights

They can work

[wind canyon]

perfect if you have the land resarch facility swap out the regular shovels with assualt enginiers

[obsidian spade]

gonna replace em with medium as soon as research is done

[vital geode]

They aren't great, but they can

[blissful nova]

they are good for smaller industries

[vital geode]

That's good

[blissful nova]

and support for fast divs

[wind canyon]

also get mechnized inf

[blissful nova]

and by themself its like if motorized and tanks had a baby

[wind canyon]

can work but i see mediums are more successful from what i have seen

[tired cedar]

heavy tanks dont give much higher breaktrhough than mediums

theyre just better @ piercing

[blissful nova]

wrong reply?

[obsidian spade]

alr thanks

[tired cedar]

and honestly ai doesnt use tanks

like at all

[wind canyon]

ah and then the russians come in yeah?

[vital geode]

Oh 100%

[tired cedar]

yessir

well actually

this time the ussr offered for me to join its faction

[vital geode]

Light tanks are quite sad since you cant put medium guns on later chassis

[tired cedar]

but i already had a big european alliance

[vital geode]

You should be able to, but you can't

[tired cedar]

so i didnt know what joinig the comintern would have done ot my bloc

[wind canyon]

alright brother here is my suggestion

redo the run

but this time militraize and get ready for the russians

they attack in about 1941ish cz thats when they invade poland

[vital geode]

Who doesn't like a good run where you live after almost capitulating

[wind canyon]

by the time thats over you should have a big enough military to take on the rest of europe

[wind canyon]

FACTTSSSS

[vital geode]

Those are some of the most fun games I have had

[wind canyon]

i love managing to pull my self out of horrible disaster

[vital geode]

I was playing liangguang or whatever in kaiserreich and had the whole Qing empire on me, but i eventually was able to unify all of China singlehandedly

[tired cedar]

by the time the ussr is defeated (1942-43), going against virtually any nation in europe is going to result in a huge western/allied coalition that stacks divs

[wind canyon]

perfect

[tired cedar]

thats why i knock france's jaw into its brain in 1940

[wind canyon]

they overstack themselves

[tired cedar]

how?

i cant penetrate shit

[wind canyon]

cz if they have a huge coalition right

[tired cedar]

yh

[wind canyon]

that means there supply lines are just gonna die

witch

[tired cedar]

yh but im going to need divs with insane breakthrough

[wind canyon]

since you have been building up for so long

strat bombing

[vital geode]

The reinforce meme is your friend

[wind canyon]

their supply hubs rails and airfrields

[vital geode]

Theoretically not opening up combat width can be your friend

And you meme them out of a tile

[tired cedar]

ive seen it work before in the african front in my last run

[wind canyon]

= no enemy or = knife thru butter

[tired cedar]

but europe has great supply

no chance

[tight coral]

what's the best flame tank design

[wind canyon]

not if you have total air domianice

[vital geode]

Stack breakthrough

Maybe 1 fuel drum

[wind canyon]

just a couple strat bombers say 500 or more

will criple their supply

plus with god tier air force means cas will ruin them

[tired cedar]

1. invade belgium and luxembourg in 1936
2. civil war + kaiser + rearmament + see to the eastern front (non aggression pact w britain)
3. cap ussr when it invades poland by 1942/43
4. invade france by 1943 and use air force + divs with absolutely insane breakthrough
5. twiddle my thumbs

how tf do i make a good air force tho

should i spam cas or fighters

how do i fight the allied air force

[wind canyon]

do you have bba?

[tired cedar]

whats that

[wind canyon]

its a a dlc by blood alone

[tired cedar]

yeah

[celest vale]

kaiserreich ?

[wind canyon]

for fighters get the best light air frame and strap on as many 4x hmgs as your best single engine can afford

and add self sealing fuel tanks and cockpit armor

for cas get the best air frame and single engine and strap on as many bomb locks

spam out fighters first you need to maintain air domiance first

since cas dont rlly work that well if the skies are contested

for bombers best air frame best 4 engin add as many strat bombing moudles

if you need a more indepth guide plenty of air guides

[wind canyon]

yeah its a germany path

[half patio]

I'm having trouble trying to navel invade Britain as France, I started with a civil war and wanted to take over Britain to get navel superiority and to be able to invade Belgium and Netherlands with no trouble, but every time i try to do so they wont go, and i watched videos on how too but when i try to replicate it, it wont work. im a new player btw so i don't know all the stuff so I'm just asking for help.

[gleaming grove]

When you puppet a state there is a bar that fills to Satelite the country. Whats the pros and cons of that?

[wind canyon]

as the puppet master you want the autonomy of your puppet to be as low as possible so you can gain the maximum amount of resources and factories from them

as far as I can think unless you trying to let your puppet go free there is no pro to letting your puppet's autonomy to rise

[wind canyon]

its proably because you don't have naval domiance over the british since yk biggest navy and all

make sure your entire fleet is there set your patrol and strike force fleet

and make sure your navy is trained and experinced

[oak cairn]

how would i report a bug

because i was able to pull this off

[obsidian spade]

does it make sense to not give germany sudentenland as british and fight?

[plain mason]

Go to the paradox forums and make a bug report thread
https://forum.paradoxplaza.com/forum/forums/hearts-of-iron-iv-bug-reports.951/

[oak cairn]

thanks

[dusk lagoon]

how do i get rid of obselete armed forces as norway

[blissful nova]

Yes to defeat germany

But it also defeats fun game

so dont do it

[blissful nova]

Monarchism

[wind canyon]

yeah for sure

since it gives germany a tough target with the level 8 forts on the chec boarder and plus by then france should be in alies

so its easyish to push thru the rineland

[dusk lagoon]

rip im already super facist

[charred fable]

Does making someone a field marshal have any adverts effects other than the 'recently promoted' time limited debuff?

[tender plinth]

how good is this medium tank for 1938?

[wind canyon]

nope

[tender plinth]

plan to use it until 1940

[wind canyon]

uh perhaps make it faster? its only a tad bit faster then your infantry

perhaps up to 8 kph so it can keep it with your mechinized inf?

[tender plinth]

what speed would you suggest is optimal?

[tender plinth]

ok cool

thanks

[wind canyon]

other then that i suggest some minor upgrades thru out that time as they become avaliable/afordable to ur industry

[tender plinth]

hows this?

think this is as fast as i can get it

increased engine by 1 to 4

now at 7.5 kmph

if. i leave it at 6 we have 7.9 kmph but only 60% reliability

[wind canyon]

yeah i reckon that will have to do

drop it a bit more if need be too

[tender plinth]

hmm agreed

although fuel usage at 2.25

[wind canyon]

but i think yeah you found the right balance

[tender plinth]

is that negligible?

[wild kiln]

New here. Learning. Holy crap this is next level complicated. It’s glorious.

Got crushed in my first campaign but … kept playing after(?)… 2 hours later I’m trying to figure out how to launch a war when I realized I’ve been playing as a puppet state or something since getting crushed.

Biggest Q: is optimizing for tile width actually that important? (Like, would a “too big” battalion be more than 10% worse than optimized one?)

[wind canyon]

u got enough synth refineries?

[wind canyon]

not particularly unless you trying to try hard against players

[tender plinth]

i don't think so

might be worth building some?

[wild kiln]

Ah. Not at all. Campaign only

[wind canyon]

eh its an okay amount of fuel usage just keep an eye on it

[wind canyon]

def

[tender plinth]

ok cool

thanks

🙂

[keen hemlock]

yes

[wind canyon]

right in witch case for your infantry stick to around 18 or so

[dusty sandal]

lemme guess, paused trait glitch ?
(promote, pause the game while opening the trait menu, assign trait, close : you now have both traits)

(also head to paradox forums for bug reports)

[keen hemlock]

18 width is usually the best for line holders, 36 is the best for offensive

[oak cairn]

no, you can take the focus, "install auftragstatistik," give both of them the assault doctrine, then take "defend the vaterland," and give them both the defending trait with the buffs of that focus

[dusk lagoon]

why is my stokpiled trainns not being used

or trucks for that matter

[dusty sandal]

oh, not even an exploit
bruh

[dusty sandal]

you're lacking convoys, not trains nor trucks

[dusk lagoon]

dang

[dusty sandal]

ports that don't have a railway connection to your capital will require convoys

you can fix that by connecting a lvl 1 railway to said port

[oak cairn]

nope! thats why i was wanting to report it, but i got the information i needed to do so

[spark cedar]

i been trying to take mexico for a full week, i become communist, destory the civil war then i attack mexico. Once im half way into mexico then italy and germany send troops and i get into a stalemate, then my troops get tired without alot of supplies and its like 1946 and i cant break through

help pls

[blissful nova]

as what

[spark cedar]

america

[blissful nova]

How are you losing to mexico as usa

thats actually harder then beating them

what exactly is the problem here

is there a big red box on ur units

[spark cedar]

italy and germany intervene half way of me in mexico

then i get a stalemate, they stackk 30 units each tile then eventually we cant get anywhere

[blissful nova]

Do you have a navy

[spark cedar]

yes

[blissful nova]

Convoy raid the carribean

and mexican coast

with all ur subs

[spark cedar]

soimeone said that but i do like patrol with my fleet and they some how dont kill the germans its like they come from south america

[blissful nova]

and d day germany they dont have enough units to cover that and soviets

[blissful nova]

shipping from vichy france africa probaly

or just from germany proper

just convoy raid

and destroy all their divisons in transit

if thatdoesnt work then naval invade them

idk what year it is but if they have 30 units in one tile in mexico they dont have neough units for that and soviets and coast guard

[spark cedar]

wtf is a convoy raid

[blissful nova]

Convoys are naval supplies

They transfer troops, matierels, and supplies

U have submarines to raid these convoys, but u can also do it extremely uneffectively with surface ships

If u make small groups of submarines and put them on convoy raid in the navy tab u can destroy the convoys

So if a german div is in cuba and u convoy them on the way they wil lget destroyed

[spark cedar]

damn ty

didnt know you can do that

ima try

because mexio weak as shiz normally

just germany are fat and intervene

are basic subs good enough? @blissful nova

[blissful nova]

yes but make new ones

as usa u have massivei ndustry

so make the most and newest subs possible

while building surface ships too

u can choose ur priority depending on if ur fighting a big navy like uk or small navy like germany

[spark cedar]

ty ty

[kind lark]

So is the general single player army strategy just to use infantry plus some support companies for defence?

Is there any time you put anything other than infantry for defending?

[magic finch]

who is the best template of infantry for new players?

i am novice, and trying to starting with a chill infantry for invade uruguay, brasil, paraguay, etc

[tardy knoll]

I saw a vid of a guy trying to make OP tank divisions and he had flammpanzer in his experiments but i dont, how do i get this.

[magic finch]

yep, i saw a lot of videos where ppl make a full divisions of tanks

but idk how to get tanks hahaha and im so stressed because i cant progresse

[tardy knoll]

am new too. its fun though i will learn and so will you

[austere roost]

That's if you can't provide offensive troops for every tile

If you can fill the line with offensive divisions then you don't need any defensive

[magic finch]

fun???

hahahaha

[austere roost]

Requires gotterdamureng. If you just have nsb it's in 1939 engineer tech

[austere roost]

You don't need tanks in sp it's just for style points and less casualties

[neat widget]

You should prepare some naval invasions in central Mexico and probably declare in 1940

Mexico isn't that hard to take IMO, they should have like 30 divisions and they will be spread thin by your naval invasions

At least that's how I conquered them as Chile

[kind lark]

What's the meta for capital ship to screens ratio?

[austere roost]

Depends on your screening efficiency

[neat widget]

around 1 to 4 sounds fine

[kind lark]

Cool that's what I usually try for

Seems like most countries start with more than enough screens so it's building all capital ships

[austere roost]

Build carriers

[kind lark]

Even for Mediterranean?

[austere roost]

Get a 1:1 carrier capital ratio

Yes

[neat widget]

yeah carriers are good

[austere roost]

Carrier naval bombers do the most damage among all types of naval attack

[spark cedar]

what should i do now

im very close but these rats just stack

[neat widget]

take the ports and they'd starve

[spark cedar]

how to take port

[neat widget]

but yeah more naval invasions

what do your marines look like and if you have air what does that look like too

[spark cedar]

oh damn i have no air and no marine

[kind lark]

Air is very good

A big part of getting better for me was making sure not to lose the air war

[neat widget]

you're fighting in mexico btw

you can't just rely on normal infantry and tanks because it's mountainous and filled with jungle

[spark cedar]

ty i sent some bombs and air

[kind lark]

Special forces are very good at those sorts of terrain

[errant chasm]

hello liv, hello crab, hello catholic

[kind lark]

Marines, rangers, mountaneers

Pick one and go hard

Hello

[errant chasm]

indeed marines, forest rangers and mountaineers are pretty good especially big special forces divisions

[spark cedar]

what module allows tank to be artillery

[kind lark]

It should have an icon next to it I forget the name

[spark cedar]

heavy howziter

[kind lark]

Like an explosion icon maybe

[errant chasm]

close support guns, medium howitzers 1 and 2 and heavy howitizers

that allows your tank role to be a normal tank or a Self propelled artillery

[scenic salmon]

Is there a way, when playing as Belgium, you can ask a 2nd time for nations to join in the EU? or do I need a mod to do it. Had several runs when they dont wanna join in the EU faction and then im locked out of forming the EU nation

[dark vessel]

End Date So Far: July 3, 1936
Ironman on Normal
66 Hours on HOI4 So Far

Any tips for improvement?

[visual yacht]

If you share your divisions designs im sure youll get some good pointers

And your production screen/stockpiles

[dark vessel]

i just changed my infantry and panzer divisions for right now

Infantry: 9 Infantry and a Cavalry Recon Detachment with the usual support
Panzers: 6 light tanks and 2 motorized infantry with the usual support

[keen hemlock]

usual support

can mean alot of things

for me that means med flame tank, assault engineers, arty, aa, light tank recon

for armor divs

[dark vessel]

okay, so like the ones you start with in the beginning of the game

so recon, engineers, etc

[neat widget]

6 light tanks and 2 motorized has too little HP and too little organization to function properly

[neat widget]

quite a few nations start with no support companies in their templates

[dark vessel]

i started as germany

[willow cypress]

how do i reassign fleets to new ports

[dark vessel]

alr

[neat widget]

also light tanks aren't that good, you should try medium spg

[dark vessel]

alright

[keen hemlock]

ctrl alt right click iirc

[dark vessel]

so this is infantry

[thick vessel]

How do I increase casualties?

[plucky otter]

By destroying more enemy units

[thick vessel]

How can I add more manpower to the enemy unit?

[plucky otter]

You cant

[errant chasm]

Looks fine I like to set uo my support companies for infantry as engineers, support arty and support anti air and optionally 2 of the three ranger recon, field hospitals, and logistics

[dark vessel]

alr

[worldly ridge]

What's the meta div types/ designs? It feels like whatever i put out the AI always beats me? Esp as the Soviets

[errant chasm]

take a look at the pinned posts. There should be one on army divs

[keen hemlock]

you cant unless you switch to them and edit it yourself

[thick vessel]

Alright I am editing the templates

How do I make this raise alot so that I do not have too many divisions

[keen hemlock]

add more units

battalions

[thick vessel]

Is their a mod where I can get more battalions?

[keen hemlock]

uh mabye

[worldly ridge]

yk actually it could be production tho i'm pretty sure most of the time my divs are fully equipped?

[thick vessel]

Like battalion slots

[keen hemlock]

i know theres one for support companies

[worldly ridge]

It's annoying cause ik i'm doing something wrong cause i keep getting beaten but i just don't know what

[errant chasm]

air?

and supply?

[worldly ridge]

💀

it's air

[errant chasm]

you have red air

[worldly ridge]

i keep forgetting air 😭

[errant chasm]

that's your problem

[worldly ridge]

ok i remember now i keep forgetting to research them

[errant chasm]

Yeah you might want to start again, this time focus on planes eariler.

[worldly ridge]

what are the best ones to go for?

[errant chasm]

light planes and medium planes and make fighters, cas and heavy fighters use the 1936 or 1940 planes

[worldly ridge]

ok so like range and that?

[errant chasm]

check pinned for planes

[thick vessel]

Like combat companies

[austere roost]

you should ask yourself how many factories you can get before barb

300 is a good goal if you do historical expansion

your meta templates mean jack shit if you can't produce them

[errant chasm]

@worldly ridge this is what the plane designs should be and i recommend using the range mio

[austere roost]

ussr doesn't have range

[worldly ridge]

how should they be dished out? like how much for support eq and for tanks etc

[keen hemlock]

idk bro

[thick vessel]

Ohhh

[austere roost]

first of all you get to 300

then you can just calculate how much you need and allocate factories based on that

[errant chasm]

then just use the fighter mio smh

[celest vale]

how i can get here this is so impossible lol

[austere roost]

also by 300 I mean beginning to build mils in the first half of 1938

[worldly ridge]

ok so 300 mils all on guns then gotcha

[minor ruin]

fire punch smile

[austere roost]

i mean 300 factories in total

300 mils is kind of hard without early war exploits

[errant chasm]

wait i remembered segl made a 10 minute soviet guide

[austere roost]

oh yeah that one

[errant chasm]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SZP43rdLDTE here you go

[austere roost]

segl's good but you need to learn to first count how much equipment you need

[worldly ridge]

i can't follow youtube videos i never retain the information thats why i went here

[errant chasm]

okay fair enough

[errant chasm]

he lost againist grisha the other day in a 7 vs grisha tfr game lmao

[austere roost]

i never said segl is the goat

[errant chasm]

it wasn't segl's fault iirc but yeah it was a botched game from what i heard lmao. Didn't watch the stream tho

[austere roost]

among english ytbers I like 71cloak more but he quit a few years ago

[austere roost]

yeah cuz you're supposed to follow him instead of watching it and remembering it which is impossible

[worldly ridge]

i think i'll try and do it myself then we'll see

[keen hemlock]

selg kicked me from his discord after a trolled him

[errant chasm]

kind of agree judging by my experience watching his streams

[keen hemlock]

i asked if he needed 1 for a game and i said "good luck finding one"

[austere roost]

good luck finding one girl to talk to

[warped river]

what dlc allows me to research the landkruezer?

and super heavy howitzer

[errant chasm]

Gotterdamerung

The one that gives Belgium a focus tree

[half kite]

chat this game is so confusing help

what are some basics i need to learn

[visual yacht]

What mod is this

[thick vessel]

Roma invicta mod

[visual yacht]

Thanks

[thick vessel]

np

[half kite]

ive figured out how to luanch a invasion

anything else i should know

[visual yacht]

Kind of a lot to cover, probs easier to highlight what youre stuck on or dont understand

[red mesa]

Basically team gunther completely threw the game on air and got strat bombed into oblivion

[visual yacht]

Fundamentals imo are designing a division, and producing equipment for your divisions to use, id ignore air and navy specifics for now

[half kite]

i know how do use the aviation

i think

[visual yacht]

I assume you dont have dlc? Air is simpler if you just have the upgrade pips

[half kite]

why are they not moving

this is my first game no dlc

[visual yacht]

You are paused (casey tech ™)

[half kite]

i figured that out just now

my bad

didn't know you could pause

[visual yacht]

Yeah and you can up the speed in the top right, although during combat 2 or 3 speed is good

You can click a green/red bubble and hover over your units attack number to see the multipliers in effect. Learn what multipliers you have to deal with and figure out how to negate the bad ones and amplify the good ones

[half kite]

ethiopa is winning

[visual yacht]

Winning the battle or are they pushing you back, you dont want to attack if your green or brown unit bars are low

They kind of act as your health bar the regenerates over time

[half kite]

therew pushing me back

[visual yacht]

Probably hit the square stop button above your general, let your units dig in and then focus attack a single tile from multiple sides

I assume your units are just low hp and theyre countering instantly

[half kite]

how do you stop them were is the button

[native gorge]

Since your using cheats anyways:

Type debug in the console (press the ~ key)
Hold tab and press the enemy country
Type in manpower [number]

If they're also low on equipment type in add_latest_equipment or ale [number]

[half kite]

ok i stopped them

[native gorge]

You can also give them the buffs you get from that cheat mod you installed. That's how I gave Britain 5000% dockyard output

[half kite]

how do you tell if there tired

is that a even a thing

im killing ethiopa

all of ethiopa

I FEEL POWER FULL

[native gorge]

Isn't that button from the La Résistance DLC?

[keen hemlock]

It is

[native gorge]

Then he does have a DLC 😭

[keen hemlock]

He could have gdr too

You get faculties in base game most projects are locked to the dlc tho

[neat widget]

completely wild outcome there rip

[thick vessel]

How do I decrease the population of a enemy country?

[warped river]

Does mechanized infantry count as an infantry division

towards modifiers?

like ferdinand schorner's buff

[plucky otter]

You cant

[neat widget]

not for that i believe

[warped river]

nor for the prussian army buffs?

damn

[half kite]

how do i get them resources

?

[native gorge]

Pretty sure there's an icon at the left of the hardness bar on the template designer that tells you what the division is made out of (e.g. infantry, cavalry, etc)

[half kite]

@native gorgecan you tell me

[native gorge]

Press the button left side of the anvil, you can trade resources with civilian factories

OH WAIT

[native gorge]

WAIT MB

I thought you meant resources like iron

[half kite]

ok i was confused

[native gorge]

Not supply

Aight uh

So like click an Army

Find an icon with a horse on it

And press it

That'll hopefully increase the supply

You'll need trucks tho

[half kite]

what do i do after i click on horse

how do i know if i have trucks

?

[fathom thistle]

Check stockpile

[astral anchor]

does anyone have tips for sea lion

i followed the bitter steel germany guide all the way up to this point

and my ships get obilitered the moment it thinks about touching an atom of the sea that makes the english channel

[visual yacht]

I dont play germany but its much easier if you invade from north of amsterdam via north sea into Hull

[astral anchor]

Alr I’ll try that out thanks

[visual yacht]

Tell me how it goes chuddles

[limber drift]

is this a good template?

and this?

[neat widget]

Speaking of, is militia doctrine better or irregular doctrine better for militias?

[light knoll]

irregulars

by far

irregulars for militia is basically like having large units tactics and assault infantry in one doctrine

and you also get 2% pop and 2×50% research bonuses for support equipment

[light knoll]

not at this stage of the game no

just use pure militia

[hoary glen]

You usually need to build up ships until like 1940, then you're strong enough to sweep the UK fleet

[astral anchor]

I followed a bitter steel guide and only got 60 ships compared to the British 300-400

[light knoll]

spam destroyers with light attack and torpedo in the torpedo slot

that should work

it doesn't matter that the British have more

the ai doesn't use its navy efficiently

navy xp is like really easy to get by training ships so do your naval doctrines

[astral anchor]

I thought no compromise no surrender made destroyers useless and you have to use cruisers

[hoary glen]

They AI never has more than 10-20 Ships in one Task force. So as long as you beat that you'll win

DDs are meta rn

[light knoll]

nah, the doctrines and the last navy update made destroyers the meta

[hoary glen]

Pure Torps works as well

[astral anchor]

So on my DDs I just use full torpedos?

What about my subs?

[light knoll]

that's an option yeah

[hoary glen]

Don't build subs

[light knoll]

subs don't really matter much

don't build them

use your starting ones to convoy raid until they're dead

[hoary glen]

Just raid with the ones you have at some place the Brits can't easily intercept. Subs are like the worst ship you can build currently

[astral anchor]

Ok I might have a very skewered view on navy but I thought subs were required to have ship detection

[light knoll]

nope

subs in the current patch are pretty ass

[hoary glen]

Never combine subs with surface fleets

Like this isn't 1980, it's 1940

[light knoll]

subs will slow your fleet down significantly

because the speed of the fleet is the seed of the slowest one in it

also don't use subs in places like the English channel

its a shallow sea and they'll die immediately pretty much

[astral anchor]

The guide had me put navy in three sections: the general task force where I’d strike force, then the subs where I use the green option I forgot the name of and then I had a thing of light cruisers where I also use strike force

Is that not the way you do it?

[light knoll]

put everything on patrol

[hoary glen]

Outdated guide

[light knoll]

use always engage never repair

for the entire fleet

[hoary glen]

Strike force might as well not exist anymore e

[astral anchor]

It’s bitter steels 2026 Germany guide

[hoary glen]

Unfortunately outdated

Also all surface ships in one taskforce

[light knoll]

it was never correct to begin with

[astral anchor]

Ok so what I’m getting is just only use DDs with torpedoes on never repair and instead of invading them from the channel do it from the east from Denmark or maybe even the Netherlands

[hoary glen]

I mean does Bittersteel still use 8 full width Tanks in one tile and just right click Moscow? Like I swear he used to be better 😭

[astral anchor]

I mean exclude navy there was some nice stuff in there like how I was able to Anschluss in late 36

[hoary glen]

I personally would patrol on always engage in the channel bc it's easier to provide air cover and use your CAS to Naval Strike

[astral anchor]

Though I will admit following the guide put me in more debt than Germany coming out of ww1

Gun debt wise

[astral anchor]

CAS actually does stuff in the ocean?

[light knoll]

he got some stuff right

tho late 36 is kinda late for anchluss still lol

you usually do it as your 5th focus

so mid 36

[light knoll]

yeah

[astral anchor]

What does it do

[light knoll]

advice: just don't uae tanks

really, if you're not some expert at micro, using pure inf will be way way better for you

than tanks

focus on building guns and air

[hoary glen]

If you use normal Bomb locks yeah, Heavy no

[astral anchor]

All I do is build upon the base inf template and then pump out a trillion of those and make med tanks as fast I can and then I’m able to take out Poland and France and Norway good

And so I try to take out the uk and I fail so then I think “maybe I’ll have better luck with the ussr” and then I get flattened

[light knoll]

it'll really just be better and easier to spam out more inf instead of focus on tanks

rush gun techs

having later gun techs is a huge difference

do big, 36 width infantry

[astral anchor]

So I should make tanks but don’t make them a huge priority?

[light knoll]

no just completely ignore them

outside of flame tanks/light tank recon support companies

[hoary glen]

For Barb you want to have around 250 of those Inf on the front and as many Tansk as you can build. Remember to put up green air + CAS and if you have it build some railway guns or the super heavy one.

[astral anchor]

I’ll try this out

Honestly now that I think about it I don’t even need to actually invade the uk to win the war

I have this mod called festung Europa where you get to do a scripted peace with the allies if you complete a bunch of requirements like instead of invading the uk you can send a nuke to them

[hoary glen]

@astral anchor What haafy is saying is that there is basically two approaches how you can play. You can go ahead and micro single strong Tank divisions where you have to micro a lot etc. or you just build big infantry that will still out stat the AI and you have a lot more free mils you can put on CAS bc CAS annihilates AI troops. So that is the other path, just have a massive, unstoppable wall of infantry just moving forward

[astral anchor]

I should try both of those out and see which is more effective

But anyways since I’m talking to you guys I might aswell ask

Do you guys know how to make a good template in TFR

Specifically the American civil war template

I was losing it playing as the NSM because the Patriot Front was just so incompetent

[hoary glen]

Why do you care for peace? 😅 There is no post war content 😆

[astral anchor]

Didnt even reunify New England until after I made the national front

[astral anchor]

They actually have a thing where after you beat Russia they collapse and then the west russian communists fight you in the west Russian war submod

It’s supposed to be like the TNO lore

[hoary glen]

It's honestly just personal preference, you can even win the game with some stuff SP Youtuber guides recommend

[astral anchor]

I’m gonna do a completely new game tommorow

Try the brick wall strategy and do the navy tips you guys gave me

And I’ll see what happens

Thanks for the tips

[light knoll]

ask in tfr server

[hoary glen]

Nah, I'm fine with you losing as them 🤣

[astral anchor]

Better than atomwaffen honestly

[hoary glen]

All TFR ACW mini factions are cringe

[astral anchor]

I have this fear of these kinds of servers because they kinda harbor the schizos

[light knoll]

yea they do

[astral anchor]

Debatable

[astral anchor]

Are they doxxing schizos though

[light knoll]

from what i heard in rb the meta there is also inf+air

[hoary glen]

Like TFR is all about full mech and Armour Divs from what I know. If you have no fuel you probably need to make big Inf

[hoary glen]

Lol

[light knoll]

someone was saying that in the chat no clue how true is it

[astral anchor]

Those divs can only be achieved if you’re not playing as an ACW contender

[hoary glen]

MP meta =/= SP Meta. Everything that is good for MP is as well for SP, but it's mostly overkill

[astral anchor]

Maybe you can get it from the federal factions

[hoary glen]

Lol, backslash wasn't working. Tbh true either way.

[astral anchor]

Maybe it’s for the best I don’t know how to do that mod anyways it hurts my head

[hoary glen]

You need Heavy Tanks to break anything in MP. But yeah, they build CAS as well. Inf kinda only bc you don't have enough IC to get mechs everywhere

[astral anchor]

First country I tried when I played it was atomwaffen and I’m pretty sure I got annihilated by the Union

[hoary glen]

Tbh I played like two games of TFR, but dropped it bc it had only content for like 7 Nations. And from what I got to know of the devs etc this mod honestly is just there to feed fascist Ideas and Movements. I thought it's light hearted and based, but the more you get to know of it the more you realize the devs are serious about the stuff.

[light knoll]

[astral anchor]

The devs are actually politically motivated?

[light knoll]

yes

[astral anchor]

I mean to be fair try to find one mod that doesn’t have politically motivated devs

I heard TNO devs are left wing biased ironically

[light knoll]

i will take devs that are biased towards democracy over devs biased towards fascism and nazism

[astral anchor]

Avg hoi4 players ideologies:

[hoary glen]

And TNO gets enough shit on regardless, but TFR is about current events and movements which makes stuff a bit more iffy. It's the same reason why paradox will never make a modern day 4X game. It's way to politically charged.

[light knoll]

yeah this is way oversimplification of the ideologies but. you get the idea

[indigo sapphire]

are supersonic/modern airframes good?

like the jets bombers and cas?

[light knoll]

supersonics yes
but they take very long to get

so like

only if you play until like the 50s

they'll be useful

[indigo sapphire]

alr

what about modern mbt tanks

[light knoll]

bad

[indigo sapphire]

wdym

[astral anchor]

Probably could be done in good taste if the extremist organizations are fictional

[light knoll]

just worse than the advanced medium/heavies

[indigo sapphire]

alr

[light knoll]

you can't have extra turrets on them

[indigo sapphire]

alr

[light knoll]

extra turrets were bad irl so you can't put them on modren tanks but in game they're cracked so yeah

totally historically accurate battle moment

[indigo sapphire]

alr

[hoary glen]

yeah, something like that

[austere roost]

Basically anything researched after 1941 is useless because efficiency is a thing and moderns require 3x chassis cost and 5 XP each battalion so it's no wonder moderns are the worst tank chassis in game

[indigo sapphire]

alr

[high whale]

guys what to do when i start someone else mod for example kaiserredux or road to 56 it perfectly works but when i start with my mod it dont work

[left mica]

Its the best

[indigo sapphire]

what does a civilian nuclear plant/reactor do for me?

[hoary glen]

Did you create it with the mod creation tool in the launcher?

[jade tulip]

does this mean Im going to gain fuel overtime?

lol

[obsidian badger]

infinite fuel?

[jade tulip]

you can achieve the same thing, just dont add anything that needs fuel and add helicopter brigade as you support company

[cobalt fjord]

whats does thisw mean

[scenic nacelle]

Priority

The division is the last of its kind to receive reinforcements

Like guns, tanks infantry

[cobalt fjord]

how to fix it?

[scenic nacelle]

Look in the top middle of the division designer

And change it

[indigo sapphire]

how many divs do i need for Barbarossa

[indigo sapphire]

@scenic nacelle

[uncut narwhal]

there isnt an exact number

just have enough

if you have green air with cas its pretty easy

[indigo sapphire]

alr

[red mesa]

As the soyviets I usually shoot for about 300

[indigo sapphire]

should i invade ussr alone as estonia or with my german allies?

[uncut narwhal]

your estonia?

[indigo sapphire]

yes

[uncut narwhal]

how many divs do you have and whats the template?

[indigo sapphire]

well atleast over a couple a few thousand in both armies

[uncut narwhal]

just send ss

[indigo sapphire]

what

[uncut narwhal]

ss of the div

[indigo sapphire]

what is ss

[uncut narwhal]

screenshot

[indigo sapphire]

oh alr

@uncut narwhal here you go

this is how many divs i have in total

[uncut narwhal]

bro just screenshot it normally

[indigo sapphire]

sorry

[uncut narwhal]

and turn off nato symbols please

[indigo sapphire]

sorry

[cobalt fjord]

alr

afterr 19 tries i have won the german civil war

[indigo sapphire]

@uncut narwhal do you want a SS of the div template?

[uncut narwhal]

yea lets see

[indigo sapphire]

alr hold on

[iron veldt]

shot on what? lmao

does your phone have its own watermark

[wise raven]

the mp in ur navy alone can destroy the soviets

like holy what mod are u using?

at that point i feel sorry for the soviets

[indigo sapphire]

hoi4 crashed again for me

[wise raven]

prob because of the divisions

[indigo sapphire]

alr

are u using mods?

[indigo sapphire]

1 mod yes

try the mod i send below

[vital plinth]

Aside from cryptologi and collab governments is spying even useful at All ? With all the other stuff you can do

[wise raven]

yea reduces planning

gives ur army intel which helps ur army

[indigo sapphire]

will hoi4 work without mods or will it still crash?

[wise raven]

the mods are the ones prob crashing ur game

[indigo sapphire]

alr

[indigo sapphire]

should i make a new estonia save without mods

[wise raven]

if u do it without mods its better for learning but not very fun

if u use mods u should use light ones that give u slight buffs

not overpowered ones

When i puppet a country, how do i get its cv and military factories?

does that only work with götterdämmerung dlc?

[supple hound]

Hello guys!
Im trying to finish the Negotiate Sphere of Influence as pro-facism Czechia (in the newest dlc), to attack Hungary and Romania.

However, Germany keep declining it, despite I have 100 relation with them and am in faction.

Any idea how to make them say yes? I tried realoding a save multiple times, but they still decline:(

[dusty sandal]

it depends on the puppet level
also depends if you used the war reparations in a peace deal (By blood alone DLC)

[serene karma]

💀

Ur gonna make him quit the game

[twin tangle]

son

[meager burrow]

Hey guys i have run into a small problem while playing Hoi4. Its my First Playthrough and i cant assign my regiments to attack. Also my right click isnt working. Anny Tips?

[twin tangle]

look into a beginners guide to get familiar with the controls and mechanics, it will help a lot

something thats not oudated preferably

[meager burrow]

Will do thanks!

[lunar notch]

your regiments or your divisions?

[meager burrow]

The little humans idk what their name is

[twin tangle]

divisions

[meager burrow]

yes sorry

[lunar notch]

most of the time assigning your divisions to an army and drawing offensive orders is better than making them attack manually

[twin tangle]

divisions are composed of regiments

[meager burrow]

okay thanks

[twin tangle]

a regiment is a column in the division designer if you're curious

and each column is composed of battalions

[lunar notch]

why do we need regiments anyway

[vital plinth]

Are spies useluff for anything else than cryptology and collab government what about those other operations like steal blueprint etc ?

[fathom thistle]

researching military intel gives you some actual buffs against enemy

in the regions you have spies ofcourse

ig resisstance missions are useful in countries like Poland with high resistance growth

[dusty sandal]

blue is batallion
pink is regiment
red is division

[cold bloom]

reloading save doesnt reset event RNG afaik

[supple hound]

How many days do I need to reset to reset the RNG?

Or is it like from the start of the game?

[cold bloom]

Not really sure

[gleaming grove]

so is there a difference between 3 regiments of 4 batallion or for say 4 regiments of 3 batallions?

[dusty sandal]

not really
the only thing I can see worth noting is the tour de france achievement that says you need 20 regiments, not divisions or batallions

from the time i settled the ethiopian war as italy (March), i feel a bit lost as to what I should be doing. Felt like i wasted some time.

Since then I took Austria in 1938 and did research on industry and engineering as far as i could. National focus unlocked the 5th research slot. Is anyone able to tell if i’m on the right path or I could have done something/achieved more?

Whats different between modern and advanced medium tanks ? Should I resseach the moderen ?

[fathom thistle]

basically the buffs from medium tanks dont apply to modern tanks, staying on advnaced is better

[plucky otter]

Modern is worse

you also cant get secondary turrets on them

So way worse stats

[austere roost]

both are bad but modern is the worst and advanced is just bad because you get it in 1943

Is there nothing I can do to make axis naval power much better ? It’s very frustrating I build whole day navry for my small country that I built up to find Japan loosing navry to USA even when USA only had half navry left after ww2 and they aren’t building much ships either

Is no mod or something that can fix this issue it’s very boring not having much navry battles except against Allie’s

[keen hemlock]

naval bombers

prolly the best thing

[vital plinth]

Im not playing axis im playing against and want naval challenges from them

[keen hemlock]

I guess you could tag switch and buff their navy
