I think I have plenty of IC
I just am trying to figure out what to do with it to actually break through
I got 2000 cas training on the way to ship over
wait a second how do u deal with resistance again
no you don't considering you don't have enough ic at the moment
ic isn't just how much you can produce in 6 months, it's also how much you already have produced
you can't break through enemy lines because you didn't produce enough because you don't have enough ic
that's when you start replacing your inf divisions with armored divisions
you make inf divisions because you don't have enough ic to make them armored
Cool my entire frontline is armored divisions
get that?
I have 22 of these divisions on the north african frontline
And they're low quality because you didn't have mechs, the right mio, and supports
That requires planning and ic
Also btw where are your mountaineers
didnt build i didnt anticipate id be slugging it out in the mountains, and its sp
how early can you get cutting corners
depends on how fast you can train your mio
for the time i didnt even know policies existed
and depends on ic
what's a good mountaineer template
it's just an inf template but with mountaineers
yo
any tips on how to actually beat germany as USAA
its 1940, i have decent navy no manpower yet
im not sure if i want to stomp out the civil war but stay democracy
until i want to become communist and stomp south america
but i need to wipe out germany first
i tried a run until 1947 yesterday by supplying USSR with 300 divisions of infantry but that did litteraly nothing
they eventually capulated and then i just left after nuking germany 5 times
im not sure how to beat them
if you're in sudan then even like 1500 might not be enough
because sudan is a truly gigantic air zone
with barely any airports
beating germany isnt hard
get good air
and good tanks
naval invade europe
then you win
whats a good tank
because i look up in the channel and all this is crazy
do you have no step back?
idk how to make that
like an early save file?
no the dlc
i have all
ok im not sure like how to make all of this stuff, like what are the art tanks actually making what trucks and how do i get all them special support stuff
use motorized ideally
also replace the arty with something that boosts hp like logistics on individual excellence or hospitals
the tanks are spgs, you select that in the tank designer
Motorized has is worse than cav b4 mech. Go from cav to mech in divs
the support companies are armored engineers (special project), support arty, flame tanks (special project), armored signals (replace that with logistics, and last is light tank recon
that was true before 1.16, but individual excellence changes that
Also include the doctrines, I think for tanks they are. Individual excellence, TD support, Armour spearhead ( if you know what your doing) or td force with grand battleplan
td in singleplayer bro?
Yer I agree with individual excellence. Nah I think mp
armored spearhead is used in multiplayer because you need breakthrough, in singleplayer go with mobile I think
td force doesn't make sense because yeah you aren't using tds presumably
Ig, Im a believer in br maxing so no crits back on offense.
Ideally you mix spgs and tds. ( i germany main so I have spg divs for dday as well as tds)
No in the templates but yer.
but like what modules and all this i am very brand new, what tank research do i do also are they medium light or heavy
that sounds like an mp strat tbh
were talking about sp bro
3 man turret, best howitzer, best radio, 2x heavy machine gun, wet ammo storage ig
but its not the meta for sp
That is fair
Ig I don't disagree im just giving input from my perspective.
For tanks templates lemme grab em
Somthing like this
Research radios, arty tech amd armor tech
lwk so much armor isnt needed but otherwise its very good
Thats fair, im to lazy to go get mine so I just grabbed from rb.
You could armor meme too but thats def overkill for sp
This should suffice for medium spgs
What do I even do in this situation? There are too many troops for me to be able to actually push them back even with some of my higher width divisions, im trying to get some SPGs out but its taking a while
what year? do you even have an airforce?
and what are your divs
it should be too hard to push back with air and good tanks/special forces
industry? not using your available forces, probably not researching etc
dont crop the screenshots smh
I made a few mistakes, I was going to do SPG and so i didnt realy invest in air then forgot about mech and started the research too late, its 1940, about 100 32 width and then the rest 17 width
Well I have some air but allies had more and i lost most of it
can someone help with invalid path to target
i wanna move my infantry army there but it wont work
Most of my research is 1/2 years ahead of the clock
@glacial steeple can u help
add signals companies to your 30-widths
you don't have a port which you can transfer them to
your units are also encircled btw
Alr ty
I did forget special forces ty
wdym
my troops are standing on a port tho
oh wait
im an idiot
i figured it out
thx
a few?
theres no point to not research, it is always good, there are always a variety of mistakes when losing as germany, as it is by far the most OP nation in hoi4 rn.
you do not control a port to send troops over to, only tiles
occupy a port tile
that means you get the tech like 3 months before you would if you researched it "within clock"
and industry tech is the most important tech in this game
I keep taking provinces that have this but no supply hub am i confusing it for something else ?
it's capital supply hub
it's not there anymore once you take it which rmeoves the capital status
will these templates work fine as Czech into historical Germany AI (30w for offense, 15w for defense)? Plan to add field hospital to both when unlocked too
what should i do here
If I make a faction can it be friends with the axis/germany
So capital of the enemy or general capital of the state that has core here ?
Supply hubs are far away and I don’t have supply to push further any suggestions what would be a good way to push them back ?
Can someone help me in my campaign as Britain the soviets are pushing me and I have good units I have no idea what I’m doing wrong
capital of the enemy
should i take concentrated or dispersed industry as USSR?
concentrated, dont switch your lines too often
Alr
I looked at the tank design doesn’t it lack breakthrough ?
I currently tried this ?
theyre bad im sorry
make it a spg
How many factories do I put on air if im doing a majority tank build
Dont i lose breakthrough ?
yeah I got roasted in the general xD and some suggestions are being taken to fix them rn
on soviets you lwk dont usually do air but just like 20 factories on meta fighters should be good
thanks
in sp it doesnt matter much
This is just breakthrough for one battalion. If you have 10 battalions it would be 10x more
Alr alr ty I dont wanna get melted with cas like on my germany
german ai isnt too great so you should be fine
So mix of spg and normal medium ?
no just do all medium spgs
the design has good breakthrough
smth like this
What ? lol not mechernized?
if you have mech then ofc use it
Thank you
But overall template I lost breakthrough if I replace with spg
doesnt matter
Based on making it art
Oh I’m a bit confused now was told yesterday breakthrough is what matters on my infantry and tanks
not by that much in sp
how do i get more manpower in divisions
how to get the howizter 2
or in my army
train more troops
so like tihs
tysm
okay wait b4 i do this should i make a different template
probably
hey guys i've been trying to play as italy and my divisions just suck. full strength divisions with 9 inf 1 art have like 120 soft attack, whereas the english troops i'm fighting are getting easily 250+ by 1940
because your divs are bad
what gun tech are you on?
dont use line art
y
also, my industry for some reason cannot keep up with the need for infantry weapons. i have efficient lines with plenty of mills and there is still a MASSIVE deficit of inf equipment every day
can anyh1 link a good noob playthough to follow
1940
sounds like you attacked with no supply
you had supply in NA?
nope, my logistics system was full
okay lets see
and the divisions had supply
do you have a screenshot?
yup
of the situation
lemme try to get one
how do u get experience to change templates
training, army adivsors or focuses
does training mean making new troops
no this exercise button
bro how am i supposed to know what to pick here
operations should be grand assault
rest isnt too important
look how well the english are defending
so much to pick so manyt systems
take out the line arty
and defense will always be higher
their base is literalyl only 3 higher than yours
did you have air?
get cas
can i just ignore officer corps and stuff
and get better pushing units
you want bold attack here so your generals get more attack when leveling up
also the military high command usually has some nice buffs
bro i dont even know what half this stuff means 😭
thats kinda a problem
this is confusing for beginner bro
watch tutorials
im watching hoi4 official guide but it didnt really explain it
look at the videos pinned in this channel
remove one
there r none
bro thats like 5 hours of vidoes
😭
what do u do when u run out of orginization when attacking @uncut narwhal
stop attacking and wait
Damm I spent whole 3 days to in a game to build up navry only to Japan never using it in 1947 even when USA navry was gone now it’s just tlight cruisers Japan never use it strike force on me it’ sucks
i just put offensive line and click go
??
you need to wait
What stats are priorty for CAS and Fighters?
Could anyone help me to reform austrio-Hungarian empire as Hungary
how do i fix my supply in africa?
Naval bomber with torpedo + heavy bombs can do CAS, right?
(TBD if complete trash but I want to try if so)
CAS: Ground attack
Fighter: air attack
Yes
Some things are meant to end
Ports
im new at the game but how does ports increase supply
Lv. 1 Port provides 15 Supply if you have Convoys or connect a railway
alr how do i make the ports do it tho
Build it
Yes
alr
send a ss
ok?
sometimes the soviet cancel it
Guys I'm having a glitch where I have all the dlcs without owning then
lol why are u complaining
I'm not it's js funny
What support companies should I have on my infantry as the soviets, is it just field hospitals + art ofcourse
are you only doing inf?
Inf + SPG
if you dont have an air force get aa
Im gonna put the 20 factories on fighters that you told me to
if its the meta fighters you should be fine
where are you holding?
Also if i wanna take down enemy cas do I use interception or jusit air sup
just put air up
Not yet still 1937, im rushing everything for spg just waiting on the gun for the tank
Im just not sure what support to use
you dont need to rush anything
cause id usually use aa just for the extra bonuses
produce cheap interwar chassis or basic
Oof
and then convert the chassis to the good one once you have the tech
Alr i might aswell wait now im halfway to my desired gun
Ohhhh
Alrighty ty
So for infantry only arty support?
i hope you rushed down the paranoia mechanic
for the cheapest id say only support arty/aa
engineers if you want
bout halfway done ish
a little over
thats okay for 37
you want to end it in 38
grind generals in spain too
the lvl 1 guy with brilliant strategist
Id usually rush straight down but i wanted to try get one industry research for every paranoi id do to see if id have more by the end
Okay tyty
also send attache to spain to get war eco
Im spam training my 90 starter divs aswell
and the army reformer guy doesnt die
how do i improve the breakthrough in my infantry units?
send template
w kx
well i dont have a great tank template right now
go for good mountaineers id say
make some moutaineers or something
alright
the only "needed" support companies are support arty/engineers/flame tanks (give buffs even when you are missing them)
alright thanks this will be helpful
time to push all the way to vienna
how do i genuinely produce a shit ton of fighters and planes in general
lots of factories
i have 3k at the start of the war against france
and when i fought italy
it was somehow
1300 - 3000
do you have nsb?
i had 1300
just get the best tech then and watch out
how the hell did i lose
1700 planes
in a month
and then the remaining 1300
against italy in another month
non dlc planes are a bit more equal
get the dlc if you want to dominate air
to match the british airforce
no idea about non dlc sorry
press the variant thing here
Can't buy it since im like 5 dollars short
don't have no step back sadly
and then just make really good planes
i dont have it either
no step back adds the tank designer
by blood alone is for planes
once you get there the main things you should worry about are engines and weapons
range isnt that important so ignore it unless you're fighting really far away
and reliability isnt the priority
is my invasion plan good? (Romania guaranteed) I'm planning to break into Thessalonki and cap the Greeks to not infinitely face a 2 front war
I made light tanks as I was told and am I supposed to use it for light tank recon ?
can someone help with my war with ussr cuz i encircled 36 divisions at the start then 24 more divisions and still got cooked
more screenshots (also i'm on civilian because its my first time doing a minor without tutorials)
dont use that offensive template
use anti air
ignore top gun tech
ignore the super heavy howitzer and light tank recon for now
and make that your tank
If I reload a save, will they ai act differently?
no not really
Bro germany hasn't done the anschluss and it is 1939 already
And I need the world tension
who’s the strongest of the baltics ?
you’re good you won’t die
ya ik
id say estonia or lithuania
both have strong paths
Guys I trying to speed run like this YouTube video https://youtu.be/f3yKcDe0DF0?si=9QKdxyRtA2-6CuG3 does this glitch work?
Hoi4 Germany speedrun guide on how to defeat the Allies as fast as possible in By Blood Alone / v1.12. I'm working on a longer video rn, so this is just a quick fix until it's ready.
This Hearts of Iron 4 campaign was played with all DLCs, on Ironman and historical. Technically there's a faster way by waiting for the UKs guarantee on Yugo befo...
also is it smart to put flame tanks & infantry by itself
you get the buffs even when the flame tanks arent in your divs
cmoonnn bro hurry up!
you on civilian oversight occupation law, right ?
also, garrisons must be fully equipped or both compliance growth and resistance decay take a HUGE hit
theres a lot of eq that u can out in ur div/disable and still get buffs from them like terrain modifiers and so on or doctrines
you dont even have to disable it for flame tanks
why local police
how do u fill garrisons
you want to farm compliance
why use a law that reduces it
yeah but for other stuff u have
true
have equipment in stockpile and manpower in reserve
wdym disable ?
as example u can put support light tank in ur inf and disable the support light tank while still getting the buffs from doctrines
disabling equipment in the template
i think i did that?
like not producing any?
best use is siege arty and siege arty doctrine on nations where u can’t really produce it
yes
it must be constant, otherwise losses in garrisons will not be replenished
wtf
works even with support eq, u can disable it aswell and never produce it while certain support companies still apply
we used it a lot on italy mm in mp
i think my garrisons are fully equipped
whatttttt
so what’s the point of producing it
sooo i just do civ oversight
local police force
if u use the exploit there arent many
but its like not something I recommend doing
esp in sp bc it takes fun away
but it lowers compliance and i need compliance in the initial states to be greater than 60%
oh you’re doing that
us
i’m shocked
could anyone give me a basic inf def and a good off templates
Yall what’s the best hoi4 guide I should watch as a beginner?
keep on civilian oversight
local police is exclusively if you have manpower issues or if a country has resistance modifiers that make civ oversight too costly to maintain
do i just set garrisons to high priority whilst creating infantry to fuel my garrisons out in ethiopia
Some Bittersteel stuff and play alongside it. Just know that it's terrible but 10x better than when you have no idea. Also there's some stuff in the pins.
How might one go about raising support for the non-aligned party for Italy? Are there more options for raising it besides the advisor?
8 Inf with support Arty def and 18 inf with support Arty, flamer, ranger raccon, field hospital and logistics for offense
Fpucs, decisions, bop
Is using motorized over mechanized good if you're going to use them as basically standard infantry
anyone can help me? im trying to look for a hoi4 paraguay world conquest, but i dont find.
since they're faster
I'm assuming the first one is focuses, but what would the last one be? sorry haha
Motorized is a noob trap. Never use it. Either Cav or Mech
Lmao
👀👀
Like bro, you need to invent that yourself. Nobody plays Paraguay
how do you do the special forces cap bypass
2w, deploy, change to a 50w
i found this
haha im noob in the game
and im trying to learn something
what nation u recomend for see videos?
Then don't wc with Paraguay
i think thats for mp
Losing speedrun any %
Balance of power. That Mussolini mini game
im going to need it because im reforming AH as hungary
im not doing any speed run
OH that! Gotcha, tysm!
ngl u dont need signal companies in sp
or logi
Germany for real learning or like Canada, Australia for a chill learning
esp as austria hingary
gracias
I'm saying it's shit
will mountaineers reinforce if you delete the 50w
Yes, you just can't train new ones or convert more
Unless you do it again
okay bet ty
cmon bro
@jagged hull do those Divs with just support Arty and AA if you don't build air. But if you want your Divs to be twice as good build big ones
Is it bad to make medium tactical bombers designed as CAs ?
It's not ic efficient. But do what you like
this is good enough for me
Im late game I got 2 times 5 % production for mediums I have 0 cas atm and my medium designer org is lv 4
And have moderen frame
But I also need a lot of them
No, it's not good. But you can play with it to challenge yourself
how do i
even get supplies to my garrisons am i doing something wrong
i need a lot of def so that is why im going to need it to def from germany
ive literally set them to high priority and i focused manufacturing the goods they need what more
like literally what more
wait nvm
got it
A wise man once said "I can only lead you to water, I can't make you drink it"
im going to need a lot of def because if i don't germany will be on my ass
Small frame will always be twice to trice as good. But you can beat the AI with anything
👍
okay wonderful
Do people ever use tactical or stragic bombers in multiplayer or sheep mod ai ?
Or are they just useless and ineffective with cost ?
Not really. US can do it to swap their HF line ic efficient. But usually US players are not aware enough to realize the AIR war has been won
Is June 20th a good German civil war with no exploits?
strat bombers for nukes but no
Not interacting with rage bait
i would say so
Strats are currently banned in any normal MP rule set bc they annihilate Nations. 1k is enough to destroy all nations.
can you switch a light tank production line to med tanks?
You'll lose all efficiency
so what do you want me to make 9/0
okay ty
So they are good ?
Btw what are mountain guns ?
I unlocked it but can’t find it anywhere
its specific to focus trees that buffs ur arty stats in mountians
like bycicle inf
only some countries have them
Oh ok so it’s nothing I can choose just a buff to arty?
in mountians yeah
it might be line arty only ngl idk
How many Strat bombers should you have ideally if you want to use them ?
For nukes and other things like bombing
why is the gwrman civil war so hard with the new update? I haven't failed it once before this update but now I've js failed it 4 times in a row
anyone got any tips for it
What amoun should i limit my tank divisions to on the front line, for example, i have about 30 divs of 32 width spg divs, and theyre constantly on low supply because of there being so many, i had 45 but i moved them elsewhere, any ideas?
Its a slight problem because they now go at 1kmh
you need equipment for them
also spread them out
Ive got all the equipment, max supply priority but they just have low supply
show?
like theres too many divisions in the area and the supply goes to low even if theres no bottleneck
Game just crashed on second
But majority of the time its yellow
Supply on the units
spread them out..?
have supply hubs
2 per tile or so
They are as spread out as they can be im not sure i wanted to just decrease the number buit when i look at videos others dont really have ap roblem
they still push no problem with low supply though
one second
Yeah no I just think i have way too many divisions and i cant fix it otherwise
When i had trhe problem it was at the start of the war and there was no bottlenecks but now there is oopsie
Ill just put less divs on the frontline
I was just worried trhat if i lower it to like 20 divisions then the enemy would break through and over run me
how do i genuinely build supply hubs the fastest possible as germany
if im invading and taking down countries all in the span of 3 weeks
i dont have 100 days
can anyone tell me which path i should go for the mountaineers
Is this a goated division template to defend britan?
remove the line artillery.
If you want an offensive division, big infantry works
also you dont need the support anti tank
the ai sucks at tanks
the most basic defense is a 18w infantry div with support arty/aa
thats very expensive imo, remove the line arty, all the support companies bar the AA and add suport arty
too expensive imo
take out recon
and signals
make it 18w
add engineers
whats your offensive div?
i don't have one
ok then def do what i told you
im going to need help because im trying to make a good off
do you have nsb?
nsb?
no step back dlc
yes?
then use tanks or special forces
i can recommend tanks as you probably dont have a lot of manpower
well im playing as hungary so should i use mountaineers and rangers combin together
just smth like this
or half rangers
thats a marine div
i know but you mean like this but with mountaineers
yea
but i can't make tanks because im playing as hungary i don't have enought of supply to make tanks
and im going to fight ageist germany and italy
then use mountaineers
and rangers
just need to know what path i should go down to for mountaineers
the combat width reduction
and on the last one the right
for the mountaineers?
no im just making plans and preparing to play as hungary to reform the AH as otto von hasburg
but what path should i go down to
why armoured engineers
why not
i mean whats the buufs vs assult engineers
assault is better against forts
Assault is better for offensive units
and armoured engineers give in trenchment for def
Armored is better for defensive but armored is more expensive than assault and it's not worth it to spend 30 armored vehicles for 18w units
im still wondering what path should i go to in mountaineers
like i know first but the rest no
He told you reduced width and right one at the bottom. For the first one it depends on where you're fighting
ok?
Are forts still viable ever since they nerfed it
yes
still useful yeah
need help playing Germany! (yes I'm that bad) might stay fascist or go communist. whatever my helper is good at.
you use too much tank
that why supply alway low
no unless you don't have enough time to develop industry
Back then you could just do stronghold network + forts and build that ultimate maginot line and swiss fortress
but then you can't push
ai doesn't attack on high level forts
and players have 100 way to break through the maginot
flame tanks + assault engineers + shh + fort buster
plus kinetic shell
its available for everybody
first at gun
i think ill do a germany game just to see how much fort attack i can stack
hello everyone
im malaysian, speak 7 languages and shit at Hoi IV
no matter what tutorial i watch im still shit
i always lose the combat
cant conquer fast enough
my troops die of attrition
my supply lines fall apart
and just want to play the game normally
god help me
make basic infantry
and air
use the designs in the channel for air
and make basic infantry with supports
if you're asking for help you're going to have to tell us more and ideally provide screenshots
just saying you're dying of bad supply doesn't help
uhh wait
lemme search for em
Exhibit A:
Exhibit B(this was a stalemate for 7 months i kid you not)
i have more but their lost to time
So you're Italy, fighting in Sudan, Britain controls the Suez, so your supplies have to travel all the way around africa where the allies will have naval dominance. Why are you confused?
this is really obviously a bad place to fight
is this a good flame tank design?
oh
;-;
nevertheless
where do i get designs
oh i js saw this
where is that
its alright its entrecnhemtn and fuel but now u stack break
@tight flicker check pin messages
oh danke
WHAT?
sorry caps
im a bit unfamilair with how armored divsions should be designed i only just got no step back so im a bit confused now
your tank is fine its just what people used to use in the last small patch
now you stack breakthrough over fuel and entrenchment
if ur going defensive then ig ur tank is fine
Is this a good doctrine?
oh right so i should add any modules with more breakthru?
correct
no what are u going for i can tell u what to pick
as japan u typically go grand battle plan assault infantry engineer or supe rheavy howitzer
on armor u go top left if ur making support tanks top right if ur not
and grand assault for operations
how about engines and armmor?
current design so far anything that can or hsould be improved upon?
Cast armor 💀
23 IC 💀
You just need to use the 3 man turret and extra ammo for the breakthrough
500 contruction. All buildings cost construction points
thanks for the advice
They even made the symbol the same as the civ factory to make it easy to understand
how about air doctrine?
Are you trying to make a flame tank?
Why do you have a flame cannon on this
any way for me to make them actually accept?
Can I play le resistance dlc with friends who don’t have it
Yeah I am some person said earlier to add stuff that adds break thru
I’m new to no step back so it’s a bit confusing
eternal infantry only
?
what are u confused about and ill try to help u
is it the tank designer?
supply sutff
the tank designer is pretty easy in my opinion. main thing u wanna worry about when designing a tank is make sure to get high reliability and high soft attack and also high breakthrough
500+
ill make a guide for no step back soon
Honestly I prefer to squeeze both stratbombing and range as much as possible
as a strat bomber spam u want high range, high defense, and high reliability
unless u have escorts
Thank u
yes u can. its the same for other paradox games as well. make sure the host has all dlcs and ur able to use them all in a mp game
sorry i just now saw the message
To make an actual flame tank (for the flame tank support company) you have to change the tank classification
click on the drop down button after "Medium Tank"
ye plus have the necessary mods for it
modifications (mods)
rn you just have a medium tank with a terrible cannon
horrible stats also
17.0% soft attack not good
afaik no
im not for sure tho
@wild jolt thoughts?
No, unless you are their puppet and if you are a puppet and your overlord major would capitulate, if there is still a major country on your side you will not capitulate (We are still in puppet scenario)
so u would basically capitualte if no major allies are alive
as a puppet yes, as a free country no
makes sense
i just couldnt remember tbh
i havent played puppets in so long
Thanks
np thats what we are here for if the helper team arent here
are heavy fighters viable
like is there anyway to make them be able to go toe to toe with regular fighters
im tryna host a multiplayer game with my friends who are all new players and want to find a simplified hoi4 mp mod to play on. I dont want to use TFB because it can overcomplicated production and stuff but i still want a streamlined MP historical experience to make sure someone doesnt pick alt history by accident. In this game I was also hoping to turn off a good amount of the DLC to simplify the tank, ship, plane, and simplify the game furthur.
Ok thx
Np
Escort carrier new?
wdym
Never seen escort carrier b4
Yeah
One carrier i've been waiting for SO DAMN LONG.
Escort Carriers
Is that with NCNS dlc
Literally more cheaper than cruiser deck cv
I think u need to get a higher year model
Im not for sure
Ill buy NCNS and Gotter so I can figure it out for u
Is germany always pick 4 year plans, even when I set alt-his path for them?
If you plan to conquer quickly then yes
No, I mean AI, I am playing alt-his mode and when I check germany, they got paralyzed by mefo bill
German AI can't reach autarky. That's their ultimate downfall and why they will always lose against allies
As for if they choose it in alt history it's mostly 4 year yes
Yes, I know that, but they are monarchist and they don't even built mil
That's the AI for you
So they always pick 4 years plan no matter what?
They might
Just don't count on it
Back to drinking tea in Netherlands Kaiser.
what ?!
Fourth Supreme Army Command with the Oster conspiracy ???
is this normal ?
What is the best way to get adapteble
How long can I wait after justifying a wargoal before I have to declare war?
I dont remember the time limit
Is there one?
30 days.
I thought it was 65
What happends then?
Just hover the "Available Wargoal" then you see the date
Its 3am rn lol
Uh, they get pissed and we say bye bye 5% stability and 50PP
Do I still have the wargoal then?
Damn... I still need to wait 100 days to be able to war a belgium to get access to luxemburg
I am part of the axis so is there a way to attack through germany without them getting luxemburg?
@glacial steeple what was achieved today in the game i played on this server on stream
thats silly
netherlands is silly to me
old, kinda weak-mid focus tree but can still be very strong i think
yeah, silly nation
?
i need to play it sometime
they got the weirdest gimmick and the longest focus in the game that cant be shortened
no?
mexico also has a 210 day focus iirc, and i think turkiye too?
netherlands has a focus thats the same size
i forget how manyd ays exactly
but near 200
210 yes
but like its not the longest
i think philippines has 280 but can be shortened
which is the longest
as for german reich, when do i start producing tanks and tank divisions?
day1
what about an early tank template?
heavy tank
i havent played them in like 2 years ngl
basic heavy tank
mexico is close to albania in greatness
but not as great
Once you get 38 med chassis
I alway build 8 tank at in 1938
But honestly as Germany you should rush 1940 small airframe instead of 1938 med chassis
How do I annex all my vassals?
Does small CAs that is classed as CAs do more damage than a tactical bomber set to cas ?
Or is it. Dependent on mio?
look at ground attack stat
whats the score command
you mean to see the game scoreboard ?
no like the command to get scores to get more land
winwars
like i wanna invate russia and i need score to get the land that they have
winwars gives you all the warscore
there is no other command listed on the wiki about this
k
This cheat doesnt work anymore
since I dont have cores on the circled region, should I just puppet these lands?
For more context:
Im currently preparing to attack the comintern and I dont want a front this wide. Or should I just wait for the other allies to take care of france and help out britain with yugoslavia and give them land so other allies can attack romania? My army is not big enough to fight 3 countries at the same time and Im right now fighting a political war with northern people's union as they are increasing my communism support
Once the Allies recognize your going to war, they will help you on your borders. Whatever you plan to do I would fully focus on France and kill that encirlement and free up all those allied troops.
the problem is if I go to war with france, Im 100% sure ussr will join and attack me
bruh
Why germany refuse to train?
What do mothership do how do they work ?
flying beehive but the bees are fighters
Does it carried figthers I can assign or just it’s own figthers ?
Carries*
no idea, never built one
its its on airwing iirc
its 10 per airwing
really strong tho
Oh ok it just a description lore that it carries its own figthers ?
yea
it is a special type of fighter, very strong with long range
by the time you get them, 15-30 mil to get them asap
Ok so 20 should be fine ?
as much as you can
I have 225 mills in 1948 30 on tanks and mecs and 65 on super Sonic’s
Rest on other stuff
Should I take from jets ?
do you have enough jets?
1400 of them
you can probably split some mils of
👍
How to quickly get adaptable
get terrain traits ig
But I start with level one general in spain and didnt even get terrin trait
you want to grind in spain?
Yeah
then grind and watch out that your general is the one in battle
not the spanish general
Ok but they always enter the fight
then get more divs or bait the spanish to attack somewhere else
for some reason when i try to attack the austrian navy by putting my fleet on strike force it goes back to port
because you haven't fully spot them yet
how do i fully spot them then?
patrol ( using air and navy), radar to support
preferably you want to have singular spotting cruisers on patrol mission to make it quicker
make sure their engagement is set to never engage tho
okay now i think i can attack their fleet
ye
and i lost the battle
Yeah that I’m just used to mass producing medium tanks with mechanized so it’s weird when I actually have to design them but I will learn soon enough
Oh alright thanks
yeah, that is normal, you don't have enough light attack
Wait quick question is it worth it to give my infantry divisions flame company then?
how to i play as finland
Is tutorial on hoi3 useful?
As democracy I should annex right ?
If I want the mills and stuff etc it’s late game maybe 2 years left before I win
Or should I puppet and intergrate ?
Question
I play as czechoslovak and i just cant pupper romania i got bigeer army they refuse i got good relationship with them they refuse i even use a spie with diplomatic presure and still they refuse i dont know what to do can anyone help because they always refuse and i can rly think off what i can do
thankfully i dont think the navy is gonna matter too much since we're on our way to vienna
do collabs and annex
what should i do in this situation? im playing alt history as fascist france, i got strong army and am in the allies faction, i think i could push to attack germany if i leave the allies but i have only 47% stability so im not sure
im semi new player btw, got only 100 hours in this
i could create my own faction and a few allies may be guaranteed
and btw, almost everyone is joining allies rn 😭
Im democratic so can’t do collab ? Is there a way ?
Heys Guys ! I have this popping up everytime I hover a state, I can't find any solution to disable it, it even changes the name of the states in the focuses, decisions etc, please help, thank you !
Does it make a difference if I justify a conquor wargoal or an annex wargoal. Or if I get them from the focus tree or by justifying it?
im a noob and i need help, how do i get my soft attack to a good amount instead of 25 when i invade poland as germany?
annex war goals dont run out iirc, also any wargoal on a core doesnt run out i think
Some wargoal types modify the cost of actions in the peacedeal
How do I lower the resistance in Ethiopia?
Does Carlist Spain appear in historical?
Im trying Franco Spain but need Carlist Spain
How do I convert my basic medium chassis tanks into my advanced medium chassis tanks? My old tanks are outdated but they dont show up in the convertion queue
You can’t convert basis chassis to advanced
Only in the same type
So I'm not sure if I just suck, but isn't annexing luxemburg as the netherlands using the focus like almost impossible?
Germany takes it way too soon that it could work right?
Why they getting their supplies?
your stockpile is probably empty
help guys
can anyone help
localisation/language issue. Usually caused by mods or attempts at modding
this is like going to the doctor and asking for help with pain and giving no further details
I don't even have mods installed and its still pops up, I even uninstalled and reinstalled and its still doesn't work
i'm just generally bad at the game
still not helpful
as i said i'm a noob i don't know what details to tell you
Does advisor.nocheck command exist?
you're invading poland as germany, you aren't winning, you think this is because of low attack values. Without screenshots or more info no-one can give you specific advise
i'll get a screenshot
have you tried verifying game files?
Gonna give it a try rq
don't cut anything out, show combat, show logistics, show as much as possible
nvm i think ill just watch a tutorial
Lmao
don't laugh Chemist I'm dying out here
guys is adopting the 1939 gun in 1941 ok
why so
anyway they can accept this?
infantry equipment is one of the most important equipment upgrades in the game. The difference in stats between gun 1, 2 and 3 is huge when multiplied across your army
im on road to 56 and it has that upgrade feature on weapons and i wanna upgrade the 1939 before i make my army equip it
who cares?
R56 equipment isn't radically different
gun2 with MIOs and all the rest are much, much better
+50% soft attack?
?
it increases reliability and attack
you say that like it's not important, the attack stats are crucial
exactly, thats why im waiting so much for my experience to rise to 100+ so i can upgrade it
or, use the better equipment, upgrade that and have even better stats
are you being stupid on purpose?
thats what i am doing, i am trying to put the better equipment on the better stats so it can work better
which means to wait a bit with the outdated equipment
ooooh, it sounded like you were upgrading the old stuff mb
yeah that's no biggie, but the difference in base stats is already worth it
it's like ~15% cost for an extra 50% attack
how do i open command prompt in multi player if im the host?
i dont think you can
anyway for them to actually accept this?
Hello?
Pls help me 🤞
Chat I can’t seem to beat the us as mexico in base vanilla. I go down the Christian path and make a faction with all the base south American countries while annexing the Central American countries, i have an army mostly made of space marines and somehow the us just blunts my advance and beats me back. How do i actually beat the us (am aiming to form the 1984 oceania superstate as mexico by annexing the us and canada)
gng that was 3 hours ago
First time touching millennium dawn. what is a good division template for a main force?
ur in debug
rush the wars
go large unit tactics
make big units with support aa
The troops you have are using up all your equipment for reinforcements only surplus equipment can be used to train
@molten cape teach ur son
what do i do
U mean with an early war instead of using the focuses? And what year should i get this done by?
prob not fight the whole allies in 1944 in turkey
use focuses but rush it
id say dec on us by 38
How many units should i have? Their units are stronger than mine
not early game
and their units are not stronger what they get is buffs for fighting in usa and airplanes in this game carry 80% of the battles
ur most likely going in late and dying to cas from lack of aa
That’s explains a lot lmao
Should i build up an air industry by 1938?
i wouldnt, u have very few military industry for early game u need to squeeze out maximum guns and aa to have most units
Should i keep the default mexican infantry template?
its prob also not a bad idea to make small cav units to snake them down once u break their front as they'll struggle to cover the gaps
use a field marshal and probably restart cause its 1944 and your divs arent great
first political power pick just get army advisor rush the doctrine large unit tactic and make ur infantry units 36 widths with support arty and aa
if u can afford it later an egineer
Alright ty!
no problem
playing nationalist spain and vichy keeps saying no and aint tryna go to war with em any way for them to actually accept?
if u have the dlc la resistance
id recommend attempting collab governments on usa too
lowers their surrender progress heavily and once u win u get compliance
honestly u can try to boost relation put a spy for pressure and have big army on their border but many events like this are pretty much guranteed no
same with like france trying to core africa
I have like 90 relations with em
yeah i mean they prob dont seem u threatning enough to give u that and idk if u could ever rly be
I am trying to deploy new airwings of fightery, but they aren´t showing up. All my already existing fighter wings are filled and have reached the max of of airplanes. I am not in a war currently, so it can´t possibly be bc they keep filling up losses. My production is 1.6/day and many airfields most definitely the space ofr teh aircraft
They are upgrading existing aircraft
The 4 wings u see are made of older models
So they send the older model into storage while replacing it with the new one
ah, the weekly explanation of how air wings upgrade, ty
And how do i know when they are done?
U can click on the aircraft photo and see what aircrafts the wing is made of
On the airwing page
Voya how much did they nerf hmg this patch
I want to play as turkey and do Ottoman Empire what country should my friend pick? Like an interesting duo we can try (non hist)
Alr ty
id say kaiser germany
is this a good flame tank design?
no
alright how can i make it better?
