[heavy quail]

So ally with poland then

And kill them

[small scroll]

is there a way i can fix it?

[gusty hinge]

right click it on steam library than propreties than installed files than verify the integrety of the game files

[jagged hull]

No they will get attacked by two nations

im trying to play vichy and want to make the reconquest easier

[vital plinth]

Is the 1943 carrier worth it compared to the 1939 ? Or is it just waste ?

[obtuse anchor]

Just use strat bombers, howitzers and other stuff the other dude sent you

[gusty hinge]

yes

[vital plinth]

Yea to bad or being worth it ? 😅

[midnight tapir]

Transports?

[proper sky]

ye i mean transports

havent used paradrops in a long time

[midnight tapir]

2.2 thousand

I put more

I think my general rode the short bus bro😭🙏

[tropic seal]

Does anyone have a good paratrooper template and a good anti-sub destroyer template?

[midnight tapir]

500,000 paratroopers

Just drown the enemy in a pile of body's

[tropic seal]

really helpful man 🥀

[proper sky]

idk something like this maybe? (outdated)

something i found from like 2023

[tropic seal]

why not ranger recon?

[tropic seal]

ah im not sure if its in date but thanks

this games meta changes quite often

[iron veldt]

bro

[proper sky]

its outdated af prob

[wild kiln]

I’d consider radar and maybe a weeeee bit more anti air with one of those open slots?

[vestal fox]

i kinda did a stupid and forgot to research radar

[neat widget]

if you're only using strat bombers for nukes just make the cheapest one you can

[neat widget]

don't do 40 width

[lunar notch]

what else can you use for nukes?

[proper sky]

its from like 2023

[neat widget]

fair enough

then update the combat width and the support companies

[oak root]

Whole nation's reserve of transports aint getting them boys in the air. 😭🙏

[paper vale]

is there a "best youtube" recommendation to start learning to play HOI4 - bought the games years ago but quit every time i try bc of learning curve

[oak root]

Trial by error. its a better idea to try specific country guides.

Theres an amazing germany guide I used. Only needed it 1-2 times before I was able to do world conquests pretty ok.

[paper vale]

maybe thats where i failed, i tried generic videos how to

for a new player, should i have expansions already bought or wait?

[thick vessel]

How do I get this type of division frontline?

[fleet rivet]

like @oak root said. trial and error is really the only way to play hoi4.

[thick vessel]

Like where the divisions represent flags

Of the country

[fleet rivet]

it may be a mod

but idk

i never seen it before

[thick vessel]

I think the mod is like expert ai 5.0

But idk how to use the mod

[fleet rivet]

idk either i just use fps map mod

[vital geode]

Different mod for the unit icons probably

[warped river]

whats the unironic best paratrooper template for singleplayer

if theyre your main attack force

[keen hemlock]

💀

36 width i guess

wdym "main attack force"

[warped river]

tip of the spear

Im just gonna use infantry

and actually use paratroopers like special forces

[keen hemlock]

then use them like paras

and just drop and push with tanks

[versed rose]

paras suck as a generic pushing unit

use mountaineers or rangers if you arent going to paradrop them

[fleet rivet]

They are better at capping cities behind lines

[neat widget]

paratroopers are a good budget option

more attack and org than infantry but with less hp

[peak condor]

got a question, how can my troops get stronger, i lost to yugoslavia 😭

as germany

[errant chasm]

here's an update: i tried sea lion again, took a few save reloads. I got italy to join the war to distract the uk. Even then the first naval invasion failed. But the second attempt I cycled force attack and other command buttons while being on aggressive and it worked and annexed almost everything without the soviets involved. Still feel like there is room for improvement for sealion.

[neat widget]

yeah that's fair

did you notice any specific things you suffered with?

[errant chasm]

mainly thought the planes weren't effective at killing british ships and during the naval battles it is a hit or miss with my limited ships. As for the actual land battle that usually slow down the game speed or pause just so I don't fail UK battle. I might send you the saves if you are interested but for now it's getting late for me lmao.

[neat widget]

when trying to kill ships adding a few fighters for detection should help

yeah send some saves too btw

[errant chasm]

I'll send them tomorrow. Anyways what do you mean for adding a few fighters for dectection?

[versed rose]

paratroopers cost the same as other special forces, there is 0 reason to use them outside of paradrops in vanilla, no terrain bonus, no stat bonus, they're all for paradrops

[neat widget]

paratroopers cost slightly less and per combat width significantly less

[neat widget]

if you have those fighters on aerial supremacy, they will use their air detection to spot ships and thus make your naval (heavy fighter) bombers more efficient

[errant chasm]

Oh yeah I did put them on air supremacy just so I could have green air for my CAS and heavy fighters. Anyways getting late so good night everyone.

[neat widget]

good night vistula

[versed rose]

ok they cost 10 less guns than mountaineers per battallion and 20 less than marines, but they dont get the 30% breakthrough modifier, so its glorified leg inf, we can pretend that they are better than leg inf because of the amount of special forces bonuses, calling them a 'budget' option when we're dealing with 10 gun difference and a massive stat penalty is disingenous.

They have the same base stats with 0 modifiers, just a bad unit outside of their paradrop niche

[peak condor]

@lunar notch

[lunar notch]

yup

[peak condor]

Do i need to change something

[lunar notch]

try lowering it to 9 infantry battalions

[lunar notch]

these are your default divisions

they are fine

except lower infantry division to 9 inf

combat width might cause problems

im going to sleep rn but ask your questions in my DM if you want and ill answer when i come back online

[peak condor]

alright

thanks

[austere roost]

The problem is with your tank divisions not with your inf divisions

It's insane to think 18w will be fundamentally different from 24w

Try to change your tank divisions to this

And if you can't get mech use inf instead

[neat widget]

but paratroopers have more hp so they're easier to upkeep, plus 30% isn't that much of a difference when you're using offensive special forces since most of the breakthrough you're getting is in the support companies anyways. Below are a comparison of two 18/0s, note how most of the stats are either the same or not that different. Now compare that to infantry (and also multiply attack and breakthrough by 1.2 or more for the special forces)

so the attack stats would be 660.6 for the special forces and the breakthrough values are 427.3 and 473.6 for paratroopers and mountaineers respectively

[versed rose]

this isnt really convincing me that paratroopers are a good unit, its barely a 100 ic difference, you get 10% hp and lose out on 46 break and w/e terrain stat you would have gotten if you used a different kind of special forces. Do they have a niche? maybe, paradrops, surely, would i ever recommend someone to use them as a generic pushing unit over a mountaineer, a ranger, or a mixed marine div? i know i wouldnt.

Their doctrine bonuses are also pretty bad in comparison to the others too, i just dont really see a reason to recommend these over special forces, even from the 'budget' angle since they are barely cheaper.

[neat widget]

well i do recommend mountaineers and forest rangers for most applications, but some nations don't quite have the ic and manpower to spend to get the full thing

but this tends to be rare in singleplayer

more of an issue in multiplayer where people are spamming out maximal numbers of units

[ashen marten]

Im the soviet union and i justified on Turkey but britain guarnteed them

Its only december 1936, with only 14% tensions, how did britain guarantee them? was there an update about guarntees before 25% world tension?

I know turkey can do focuses about getting guarntees but not this early right?

[austere roost]

Yeah you can tag switch and check Allie's rules

How much tension did you cause?

Also if you want to early war you should rush nkvd focus

[ashen marten]

only 14%, and im on ironman so i cant tag switch

[austere roost]

What other world tension did you cause?

[austere roost]

You can always open a new game to check

[ashen marten]

oh no actually only 9.8%, thats it

its only the end of 1936, and i was just doing the thing of justifying on turkey at the start to also get romania

Okay so seems it need 25%

And turkey's guarantee focus is way too far down to have been completed by december 1936

So i dont evem know, i guess the ai can just do that now?

[austere roost]

Maybe try justifying in non ironman

And see what happens with guarantee thresholds

I always get nkvd focus before declaring so I can't tell why

[ashen marten]

it seems to have only been guarnteed after i got the wargoal, not during justification so i got turkey and romania, but strange the first time still lol

[white karma]

why does my planes gets obliterated so fast against ai planes :((

[sand ember]

post designs

also it depends on stuff like being outnumbered

[obtuse anchor]

Some of the reasons might be
-Bad designs
-Being outnumbered
-Enemy also having aa in addition to their airforce
-Running out of fuel
-wrong missions assigned
-pilots not being trained
-possible airforce debuff (depends on country)

[inner sparrow]

ur comparison is flawed u have to make the mtn same width as the paratroopers for stat comparison, not the same amount of battalions

only real option for paratroopers that is not paradropping would be for org maxed small inf and low supply consumption

anywhere else they just get outclassed by mtn or inf

[short loom]

what's a good template for invading china please ?

basically how do I invade this

[glacial steeple]

theyre great in siberia

and for japan if free div editing before china war

[quaint sky]

if the airplane weight is REALLLLYYYYYYY close to surpassing the thrust

but didnt

it will still fly, but

is there any secret disadvantages?

[glacial steeple]

you want it to be the same number

[quaint sky]

yeah but

if its close to surpassing will there be drawbacks?

[glacial steeple]

it used to be that agility mattered more, now it does not

it gives a small amount of agility

[quaint sky]

mmmmm great

thanks!

[slate nimbus]

for "historical" Italy, what would be like the most optimal path focus wise? cus i be doing them kinda at random

[scenic nacelle]

The most I remember is kill and annex yugo/albania before ww2

Maybe Greece too

[slate nimbus]

shiiiit im late to the party then

aight ill still try to rush those cus i do need the Albanian oil

[native gorge]

Is Rocket Arty good?

[fathom thistle]

no

[dusty sandal]

Nope

[obsidian sundial]

how do u win spain civil war fast? ive tried like 4 times and either lose or win by 1939

[dusty sandal]

It'sbottom of the barrel in all cases rn

[obsidian sundial]

also what divs should i make for it

[frank grotto]

Hello guys i need help with naval invasion
I'm New to the game I'm playing now with toutrial Italy my problem here is when prepared to invade other country my units don't move
I have naval Dominant 78.47% i just and also naval transport is researched i have 140 convyes
But my 6 divisions don't move
When i checked on them it says unit is unable to move to a province along it's path
By the way I'm invading Albania

Also i watched many YouTube toutrials but i still have Sam same problem

[dusty sandal]

Good setup is essential, your war should start in july 36 or you must restart. Spam the decisions for that

Get control of strategic states

Once war starts, pause and micro your units to gain mountain and strategically important tiles

Then, do not push with the crappy inf, only use the good divs you have for that

Attrition matters, don't smash your head on mountains just because bubble is green

As nationalist if you take barcelona+aragon the anarchist will spawn in the south
As republicans, taking zaragossa will ensure a carlist uprising

[dusty sandal]

Declare the war
Wait for the invasion to be planned

Don't invade albania,you get it for free with a focus + golden rule of NO manual justification until you know how the game works

[obsidian sundial]

what "good divs" should i make? i tried making some mountaneers (they were like 8 mountaneers and 3 arty) but they didnt really push as i wouldve liked

[dusty sandal]

Base designs you get

[obsidian sundial]

also i wanted to make them bigger, but it would surpass special forces doctrine or sum like that

[dusty sandal]

Anything above 12width is good in SCW

[obsidian sundial]

if i want to do a communist spain do i delay the cw or just let it happen?

[dusty sandal]

Don't modify templates except to add support aa or arty
You can't afford it

[dusty sandal]

Never delay

Delay means you get less of everything in all cases. Delay means you're weaker

Watch the timers and decisions, they're really straightforward about this

[obsidian sundial]

ty for the help, im really new and this game is like 100x harder than i thougt it would be

[frank grotto]

I did a war justification
And i already waited for the invasion to be planned
I'm just trying to learn how to sea invade

[dusty sandal]

Spain just requires some micromanagement to be fair

But you should stick to big countries on historical paths until you learn the game

[dusty sandal]

War justification doesn't mean you're at war
Is their capital red ?

Like is the star red ?

[frank grotto]

No it's black

[dusty sandal]

Then you're not at war

[frank grotto]

Damn

[dusty sandal]

Rclick on them
Declare war

And don't forget thegolden rule for the future

Or the AI will come for you

[frank grotto]

Okay thanks

[obsidian sundial]

whar nation do u recommend to start with?

[dusty sandal]

USA, germany, sov (watch a guide how to do purges)
alternatively, canada and hungary are good too but smaller

[zealous pond]

whats normal agility for a cas fighter

because mine says 7 when on ground attack

[native gorge]

Is there something in the console or a mod to just delete all units? cause the lag is hitting REALLY hard

[zealous pond]

also is this god

[red mesa]

Use single engine, swap turret for fuel tanks, swap bomb bays for bomb locks and eventually swap for heavy bombs

[echo void]

i stuck always with uk when i am germany and then I fall

pls help

[somber berry]

when i form greater Greece (megali idea venizelist path, NOT byzantium) a small portion of turkey is left out and i dont get to complete the ''Nenikikamen'' focus, because turkey technically still exists. Any way to fix without cheats?

[warped heron]

after doing the german civil war (without dlc) is there a way to become fascist again?

[scenic nacelle]

War?…

[somber berry]

as a democracy? to a democracy?

[scenic nacelle]

I never done that path

Uhm

Yeah I have no clue

U got this bro

[wraith cypress]

Whats the best play with bulgaria in the great war redux mod? Its really hard to fight against 4 opponents in the second balkan war and i dont understand shi about the division templates? Any help on how to conquer the world with bulgaria in the great war redux?

[proven lion]

how i derrot this enemy army? (uruguay)

[keen hemlock]

I’d ask in their discord

[keen hemlock]

First of all make a frontline

Then just attack where it’s green

[proven lion]

but, i just make it, but it didn't work

[red mesa]

your army has no army in it. massive deifict in equipment and/or manpower

those orange bars are the unit strength

[proven lion]

[proven lion]

what i should now?

[red mesa]

figure out what your army is lacking and fix it

you're supposed to actually plan and prepare for wars by having surpluses built up by industry

if you have neither, you lose

[proven lion]

I think I know how to identify it, but how do I correct it?

[red mesa]

if it's lack of men, raise conscription

if lack of equipment, make more and buld mils to make more

[proven lion]

okk

[unique tundra]

Hey, I'm trying to play TFR and i cannot create custom plane, ship and tank design, do you guys know what the issue could be? I have all of the required DLCs

[obtuse anchor]

Yes, appoint otto straßer as fascist drmagogue and wait for 50% fascist party popularity to flip

[warped heron]

how do i get him

[obtuse anchor]

Appoint him as a political advisor

[warped heron]

aint there

[errant ember]

What CAS airplane design do you guys recommend using for the most damage and efficiency? Like what modules do you put on?

I always make expensive CAS planes but I feel I’m not doing as much damage as I want to be doing, and I don’t know the design meta

[obtuse anchor]

If you did the antifascist focus during/after the civil war, you cant get otto as political advisor

[warped heron]

does it also have something to do with hanging the nazis orrrr

[obtuse anchor]

No, hanging the nazis will just give a -0.01 party popularity modifier for fascism

[warped heron]

ait

[warped heron]

where he at tho

[errant ember]

What are the best CAS designs do you guys recommend using for the most damage?

[obtuse anchor]

show the focus tree

[austere roost]

check pins

[sinful trench]

With should you do as japan, continue takahasi korekiyo policies or increase araments speanding?

[wet basin]

which one's the best im germany

[balmy grove]

can someone explain me why i cant move when i have more division?

[noble frost]

Keep trade interdiction

[balmy grove]

just getting oil?

DAMM

HOI4

WHYYYYYYYY

[manic valve]

yo quick question, when gets the event "The yalta conference" triggered? Like when germany hits a certain amount of capitulation rate or something like that? And if yes, what is it?

[warped heron]

not on the game rn but i can tell you that i had oppose hitler and the first army focus, that’s all

[craggy hamlet]

I'm not exactly good at designing so what are good tank templates for Germany like?

[woeful spire]

What does your template look like

Get some cas and air superiorty there and push with tanks if you have and just push till you reach Scotland you should also move your navy from the channel because it looks like it's getting destroyed you already landed so you don't need the navy in the channel that much anymore

[noble frost]

Best main doc for vanilla mp ussr ??

[errant chasm]

here is the saves I mentioned yesterday of my sealion pratice

[lime rain]

I wanna ask if this is happening to anyone else

When i click on something in Hoi4 it double clicks

Like when I select one troop its selects my whole army and idk what to do

[neat widget]

why didn't you annex bohemia

[errant chasm]

mefo bills and resistance

[neat widget]

you did something wrong because you should have gotten 50% compliance from fate of czechoslovakia

[errant chasm]

i think if you partition it with hungary you dont get compliance

[hollow jewel]

if u do a sea lion and take everything in the peace deal u can get rid of mefo bill

[errant chasm]

I used to do befriend czechoslovakia and annex all of it so hungary gets nothing

[hollow jewel]

which path is better historical one or heed von neuraths concerns one

[errant chasm]

concerns one lets you annex all of czechoslovakia without hungary getting it and gets you more spies but the historical is faster

[inner sparrow]

if u annex it all to yourself u get compliance

which u should do

[neat widget]

^

[errant chasm]

even if i do the historical path? usually if i annex all of czech i just do the befriend path

[left mica]

14 motorised 4 light tanks

Its meta

[neat widget]

in fact you get compliance on it all

[sleek remnant]

I think they changed it a while ago because you get complience even if you full annex

[left mica]

Why does line arty have 3 cw while spgs have 2

[neat widget]

you're missing out on 17 whole factories

not sure if carpatho-ukraine still rises up if you have pfot

[inner sparrow]

esp if u do historical u should annex it all

[neat widget]

so that 50% might not stay forever

In any case Hungary will demand Slovakia later on and you can give it to them later

[hollow jewel]

guys where can i find some meta medium tank divisions

[neat widget]

martial law makes you forget about resistance, but it basically kills the economic value of your occupied territories
typically it's local police force (because it requires the fewest troops and gives good compliance gains), harsh quotas, or forced labor

[misty wagon]

okay but ive never played ussr

[neat widget]

also i don't expect someone to do sealion in april 1940

[misty wagon]

which is the best

[hollow jewel]

ussr is like u do nothing and still win

in late game ussr ur unstoppable

[misty wagon]

idk what focuses u even do

i have 0 seconds on it

[hollow jewel]

historical is the 2. best

i think trotsky path is the best tho bc lots of conquest

[misty wagon]

i do civ war ill get cooked

[hollow jewel]

theres a cheesy tactic in civil wars

[neat widget]

also why are they doing transport plane bonuses lmao

[misty wagon]

dlc game seems so fun

whats diffrence from the civ war and stalin

[hollow jewel]

before it starts make a template with one anti air then convert your entire army to it, when the civil war starts covert them back to cavalry ot infantry

[neat widget]

recommendations would be no step back, by blood alone (what you're seeing), arms against tyranny primarily

[hollow jewel]

the ai doesnt know how to convert division

[errant chasm]

I think it was for paratroopers. This is my save right?

[neat widget]

gotterdammerung is also okay

[hollow jewel]

so u will crust the 2 width anti air divisions

[misty wagon]

How can i restore empires?

[neat widget]

typically via decisions or focuses

[lunar notch]

try going fascist or non aligned

what empire do you wish to restore?

[sacred flame]

Ottoman empire

[balmy grove]

like this

this is a R56 mod

[waxen rune]

how to solve this problem

[hollow jewel]

@misty wagon

[lunar notch]

do you have the battle for the bosphorus DLC?

[misty wagon]

yea?

im talking in the game chat

[hollow jewel]

u have insane lag

[sacred flame]

Let me check but i think i do have it

[balmy grove]

this is a good template or what?

[neat widget]

remove the engineers

[misty wagon]

IDK WHY theres so much lag

[lunar notch]

if you have it, you need to reach to "pivot to the past" focus, which allow you to restore the sultan and call ottoman members back to service

[misty wagon]

this never happend

[lunar notch]

this will cause a civil war with kemalist regime and if you succeed, you will restore ottoman empire

[sacred flame]

Alr ty still have to look if i have it

[hollow jewel]

lets rejoin

[misty wagon]

ussr is too op u can do nothing and still win

in SP ofc

[kind lark]

Is it true that the naval meta is to build light cruisers only?

[balmy grove]

Why?

I add it For goods

[woeful spire]

Expensive and useless

[fathom thistle]

you want to use things like hospitals on larger division that stacks its buff

[balmy grove]

K

[balmy grove]

Yeah

[austere roost]

9 inf + support art + support aa is enough

[balmy grove]

Youre the soviets you will have no trouble going through iran

[misty wagon]

[misty wagon]

is there any way to make france join my faction

thank yiou

[obtuse anchor]

Wait for them to flipp

[misty wagon]

sorry if im asking too much but what does this mean

why cant i do this

[obtuse anchor]

You must be at war with a major country

England, france, japan, germany, usa and stuff

[misty wagon]

ohh

thanks

[sacred flame]

How to transport units to an island for example cuz i have to invade british empire but idk how i tried an naval invasion but this didnt work fsr

[small scroll]

how do i fix theres problem with the downloaded mod files

[iron shale]

whats the best focus tree for british raj

[neat widget]

the historical invasion of iran happened because the allies thought that iran was getting too close to the axis

[spring shore]

what should i try to hold as the soviets? do i just stick to the rivers and marshes?

[neat widget]

probably either mughal tree or loyal government i imagine

[neat widget]

if you're strong enough you can push the axis day one

[spring shore]

i am NOT gonna be strong enough brotonium 😭

[misty wagon]

nah ussr is so slow for me i hate fighting in asia

[neat widget]

so vistula-carpathian-danube

[neat widget]

but in multiplayer yeah, make a managed retreat to the dnipro and daugava

[misty wagon]

i thought this was gonna be fun not waiting 2 months for a land to be taken

[spring shore]

thx

[spring shore]

and oil, they wanted the oil

[balmy grove]

sure?

another day Fighting

[neat widget]

yeah that too

[neat widget]

well you have better divisions than 9/0s i assume

but yeah i'm sure

[spring shore]

one more question, do i invest into heavy tanks for the defense? just to boost the armor and defense stat, 1-2 battalions per div

[neat widget]

for the armor it can be pretty useful
for the defense why bother, you're only going to increase it by 1-2 points

also mech should give you a lot of defense already

[ashen marten]

Why wont germany declare on me

They have the wargoal and its been awhile. they defeated continental europe

Though they are at war with greece because italy. i also have a TON of troops on the border, so maybe im just too strong they dont want to invade me?

[neat widget]

defense is more a problem for the infantry, and only when you are making infantry to shield your tanks from enemy attacks

ideally your tanks shouldn't use defense (the reason why we include mech is HP and org)

[ashen marten]

oh i also cant declare on germany because of the japanese guarntee

[neat widget]

i see why germany doesn't want to war with you

you're stronger than them

go east and take out japan first

[austere roost]

Also the entire comintern branch is useless since if you want claims just take the nkvd focus

[neat widget]

it'd be simple if you know how to naval invade

[austere roost]

The only exception is to get the combat against fascist bonus

[ashen marten]

oh yeah i do, but i was building up for germany, i dont really have a navy lol

[neat widget]

taking out japan now is better than taking out japan later since chile will declare war on you in the latter scenario if you ever have a japan puppet

[balmy grove]

Oh K

I Fine Another ways to Improve My Divisions

[neat widget]

well you could invest in tanks

[errant ember]

what module is the one on the bottom slot (the third one)?

[errant chasm]

oh yeah liv, do you know how I could have improved my industrial build better i that germany game? I didn't build any civs but mainly mils and rubber

[neat widget]

annexing all of czechoslovakia would help, setting your occupation law to local police force, maybe pushing rubber slightly later too

also final thing you probably should have done more infantry research instead of coal research (you have a large surplus of coal)

also collabs on france too

[misty wagon]

guys any help here

[errant chasm]

okay thanks for the suggestions on improving my germany game.

[austere roost]

Where are your troops

[neat widget]

stop battleplanning and start microing

[austere roost]

Well supply is an issue

[misty wagon]

i literaly cant its like they are fighting in interstellar space no supply

[neat widget]

how is the air situation

air superiority + cas can allieviate the situation

[balmy grove]

Oh, Yeah

[neat widget]

especially considering the japanese are suffering from this issue too

[austere roost]

There are barely any airfields there

[misty wagon]

i forgot air was a thing

also did i mention the entire world is in war

[neat widget]

nope

either way the situation is stable and not disastrous tbh

[misty wagon]

its just SOO BORING i hate fighting in asia so much

idk how to fix supply

[neat widget]

yeah you don't even need to fix supply tbh

go save france

and be ready if poland falls

[misty wagon]

cant help france

i cant put a frontline there

they are in a czceck faction

and usa is helping them

i dont like playing ussr i hate everything outside europe

[neat widget]

ask for military access

[misty wagon]

that wont let me make a front line still wont it

oh it does

[fleet rivet]

military access lets u travel through a nations territory

[neat widget]

and it should allow you a frontline tbh

[fleet rivet]

i think it does im not for sure

[daring garden]

Hey people, I'm having an issue with my fleet (guess I'm far from the only one). I created a simple template, and (as I did not find a "create task force from template" button, simply moved an existing task force from reserve to the main fleet, and applied the template. This seems to work only halfway. Destroyers get reinforced correctly, but light cruisers for some reason don't despite having auto reinforce on, as well as more than enough light cruisers in reserve. Any idea?

[fathom thistle]

different icon for each cl ig

[daring garden]

Where would i need to change icon?

[fathom thistle]

click on it

some have shield some have gun battery etc.

[daring garden]

Do I need to change from the builder? As I cannot seem to change the ship icon from the fleet screen

[fathom thistle]

yes

[past quarry]

how do i initiate this naval invasion

[obtuse anchor]

Have over 60% naval superiority

[daring garden]

I changed the icon from the builder (was an older model), but it's still the same in the fleet

Any way to change it on all existing ships?

[past quarry]

i have my navy there, how do i achieve that naval superiority

[daring garden]

Ah, I think ti's good, I needed to unpause

Thanks!

[fathom thistle]

did you increase cl cap in your taskforce builder?

nvm

[obtuse anchor]

What mission have you set it to do

[past quarry]

nothing its jhust hthere

oh it launched lol

[fleet rivet]

have naval superiority and enough convoys

[covert hull]

So.. this is my first soviet game, I built infrastructure on provinces with 8+ building slots before building mils in them. Now I was told I shouldn't build infrastructure and im confused and would like another opinion

[past quarry]

i lost this very bad

[obtuse anchor]

How can you lose to taiwan

[past quarry]

i dont know how to play this game

they landed somehow

i made a landing and took over some of the island but they invaded the mainland

[austere roost]

it depends

the consturction equation is listed in the construction queue when you hover over it so you can calculate it yourself

but generally it's build infrastructure until you get war economy in 1936 and then build civs until first half of 1938 and then build mils

and if you plan to build more then 4 mils or 2.5 civs per infrastructure needed then you build infra first

[covert hull]

Alright, thanks

Soviets are a pain T-T I think I'll stick to germany

[austere roost]

it's not? how is it painful to you

[vital plinth]

Is operational intergrety good or bad ?

Playing France they seem to only have mastery booster for that or mobile warfare

[waxen crag]

im new to hoi4 but i like it tho im trash any tips

i watched tutorials about the game before starting

[small flare]

Is there any reason to use condensed industry over dispersed industry?

It just feels like dispersed gives way more benefits

[hoary glen]

It has more output. But you should only use it if you know your build and how to use it. Else Disp is always the better choice.

[hoary glen]

build green factory and don't forget recruiting new units

[small flare]

So, basiclly if you get powerful enough quick enough condensed can be better long term

[waxen crag]

👍

[mystic gyro]

question whats a general line for building naval like at what point does production get too costly to give a damn about?

ik its likely class specific

[hoary glen]

Conc overtakes the output of disp after around one year. So if you are in a situation where you build the same thing for more than a year and don't need it immediately during that time then Conc is stronger.

So for something like basic Tanks, Support Equipment, Guns and Mech conc is really good. But if you always research new techs of Tanks and Planes it's going to hold you back a lot.

Also never build railway guns on conc. Paradox left out the ability to gain efficency on the RWG line so you'll be stuck with a super low production rate.

[hoary glen]

When the ships stop being aviable for when you need them

[mystic gyro]

so its ok to keep building say improved ships

because their cheaper and help fill out your fleets a bit easier

[hoary glen]

With Navy you need to think before what are your aims and what do you do to achive those. If you want to beat a major Navy you need to start with docks very early to get any IC for war for example

[mystic gyro]

ic?

[hoary glen]

the 2nd Tech of Ships are like the best ones in the game bc they are a lot better then the 1st Tech and you can research them Day one without debuff. Anything above that is just being fancy and personal flavor.

[mystic gyro]

gotcha

so theres no point since they givd you the upgraded engines n stuff anyways

[hoary glen]

industrial Capacity. It's basically the output of your factories and decides how much time you need to assemble something.

[mystic gyro]

maybe a range bonus at most from what i can see on the other

[mystic gyro]

ah

italy mus tbe a sleeper build for navys cus i remember one italy game i was just

shitting out cruisers and destroyers en masse

[hoary glen]

Ships have a flat cost, ground units have all their equipment cost added together in the unit designers bottom right corner

[mystic gyro]

ye this is my first time using man the guns

i havent touched italy and dont plan to until by blood alone becomes free doubtful lol or until i get it

[spark cedar]

Anyone have space marine

for sinlge player domination

[mystic gyro]

its just one td with enough armor to cause god to be unable to pen you

and like a ...

6? marines

[spark cedar]

how do i do it

also whats td

troop div?

[mystic gyro]

tank destroyer

[spark cedar]

oh damn

[hoary glen]

If you want to get to know Navy better I can recommend Germany, Italy and Japan tho. Just keep your existing Fleet as a reserve and try to build something on your own first. If it fails just doomstack and win anyways.

[past quarry]

ive tried to get into this game about 15 times

how do i stop losing

[hoary glen]

why are you losing?

[past quarry]

my troops suck

[mystic gyro]

time to play italy.. for like the umpteempth time

/jk

but one roman empire run was enough for me

[hoary glen]

Please post a screenshot of your template then

[mystic gyro]

now was it fun? yes

did it get boring as hell? also yes

did the ai bug out and build so many ships i think their entire population was apart of them

yes

theres a screenshot somewhere

[hoary glen]

Plenty of fish in the sea. I'm just saying pick a Nation that starts with the chance to get a lot of docks. Commie/ fascist USA also works

[mystic gyro]

ah I FOUND IT

almost 2 years ago

was wondering why i was fighting so many ships in the americas

so i sused a command to swap over and check

and was met with this

i had already dealtwith half of their fleet by this point

[hoary glen]

Well if you leave IC on that happens 😉

[past quarry]

it was

[mystic gyro]

i didnt use ic surprsingly

[neat widget]

ic for instant construction be like

[past quarry]

I dont think this is winnable

[mystic gyro]

granted it WAS on a higher difficulty

so it couldve been those buffs they get

[hoary glen]

I can recommend before playing mods try to get more familiar with the base game first.

[mystic gyro]

i know japan spat on them

as well

[hoary glen]

Basically this template is too small and has no HP bc of that. So if you ever lose a battle you take massive losses. Also it has abysmal Light attack and Breakthrough you are unlikely to win any battle with this.

[neat widget]

true, also tfr has different combat widths to everything

so the templates will look different

[hoary glen]

Well then it's some output bloat mod :D that's not vanilla

[mystic gyro]

99 soft is considered low?

damn

[neat widget]

yeah 99 soft is extremely low

[hoary glen]

I think you even get more for China war as Japan. So yeah.

[mystic gyro]

considering i can barely break 120 at times i guess line artillerys back on the menu

[hoary glen]

Research gun techs and actually build enough to fill your army and use support companies

[mystic gyro]

i indeed do that actually

i might be confusing battle attack with actual attack

[hoary glen]

MIO bloat on top and you get something like 300 base soft on 36w Inf with gun3

[mystic gyro]

my inbattle attack usually widely varies

[vital plinth]

Is operational intergrety good or bad ?
I’m playing France so also have mobile landwarfare mastery boost for the grand doctrine too what do you think is best to pick ? Or should I stick with grand battleplan ?

[mystic gyro]

cross a river

[hoary glen]

Bc you likely have outdated equipment

[mystic gyro]

probably im still upgrading the sten mk2s in my game

also

i hate rivers

rivers and mountains ESPECIALLY

[hoary glen]

Supports and mountaineers

[mystic gyro]

apparently bridges dont exist in hoi4

ik ik

but still

[scenic nacelle]

UHM

[mystic gyro]

my hatred of mountains and especially ESPECIALLY norway

[scenic nacelle]

oops caps lock

[hoary glen]

Attacking across a bridge is like the worst fight you can have as an attacker even IRL.

[mystic gyro]

fair i

butseriously why does my artillery get affected like yall should be behind the lines firing!

[hoary glen]

If you struggle with mountains you might use the wrong combat width. Mountains are small so you can have at max a 32w in order to still attack with two units

[mystic gyro]

ill probs try that with smaller mountanner divisions

12 or 15 widths.

[past quarry]

i lost

i dont think it was winnable

[scenic nacelle]

how...

ur the prc in 2024

[past quarry]

idk how they landed

[scenic nacelle]

kinmen islands

taiwan should have those

and have strait to mainland china

[hoary glen]

You'll perform worse

[glacial steeple]

ethiopia

[hoary glen]

Attacking with small width is asking for losing

[glacial steeple]

low hp*

[past quarry]

i should restart now

[mystic gyro]

so whats the general width i should do for mountaneers?

[hoary glen]

32

[glacial steeple]

and low damage

[mystic gyro]

flat 32 yees h on some nations thats gonna be expensive

[hoary glen]

Hiii @glacial steeple

[mystic gyro]

we should let nukes level mountains

[past quarry]

i wanted to lose but not this badly

[mystic gyro]

my man you did a perfect larp

please tell me your stuck on taiwan now

[hoary glen]

It's what is the best, if you can't afford it try normal infantry, if you play a minor you'll need 32 w infantry anyway

[past quarry]

HUH

huh

[mystic gyro]

i noticed your prc

it would be funny as shit

[past quarry]

yes

[mystic gyro]

if your trapped on taiwan

https://klipy.com/gifs/ironic-star-wars--k01KRPX6R3F3E42ZAJR5GATBA5X

[past quarry]

not they're just in beijing

whats the easiest nation to play in this mod anyways

[vestal cipher]

Russia or Union of America

[mystic gyro]

minors need 32 width? well ive been playing finland wrong then

[hoary glen]

Build boats next time. You need to beat the Japan Navy to invade. But you need something good like amphtrac tanks to even have a shot at landing Taiwan. That Island in that mod is just a complete clusterfuck bc the tiles are super small and hard to micro.

[mystic gyro]

but also very accurate

if taiwan wasnt a giant fortress island i wouldve called bs on mod devs lol

[past quarry]

taiwan is a fortress because everyone wants to protect it

[scenic nacelle]

No

Regain ur land

[mystic gyro]

yes but also because taiwanwants to protect themselves

[scenic nacelle]

It has a path if u lose first war

[hoary glen]

China is pretty easy, you just do one war with one Naval Invasion the whole game. Like other stuff will be more complicated to play.

[past quarry]

I wanted to do the revanchist path

which you need to lose the war (i think)

[vestal cipher]

Uh? how did this happen, they updated it?

[past quarry]

Yea theres a civil war

i tried to play regular hoi4 as germany but lost to poland

[hoary glen]

It's the best Inf for attacking. You can always play with worse/ sometimes have to to have something on every tile, but if you want something good go big. It's bc the only advantage of small Divs is high org, but you don't need that on the offense that much. Also they are cheaper bc you need less support stuff per unit.

[vestal cipher]

You played tfr without properly playing vanilla before hand?

[past quarry]

yes

[vestal cipher]

https://tenor.com/view/black-ops-woods-cod-gif-17392574626699745990

I recommend trying to finish a vanilla playthrough first

[scenic nacelle]

He knows something we don’t

[hoary glen]

Beat them first tbh. TFR has a bunch of bloat and stuff and is not telling you a bunch of things. It's really not beginner friendly. Also it's largely unfinished, so some stuff probably just straight up doesn't work

[past quarry]

i also lost to ethiopia as italy

[vestal cipher]

Happens

[hoary glen]

All the more reason to play vanilla first before diving into mods

[scenic nacelle]

I lost to Italy as Ethiopia

[mystic gyro]

thanks what about defence? opposite?

[hoary glen]

Mods always bloat stuff and turn things on the head bc the modder wants the game to happen his way. Vanilla is for learning

[past quarry]

yeah i realized that a lot of the stuff was clunk

[hoary glen]

If you play MP with friends and exchange roles you can do that, but else there's never really a situation where you have a front you just want to defend and never attack there

[past quarry]

whats the absolute easiest nation to play in vanilla hoi4

[scenic nacelle]

Uhmmm

I like China and Canada

[hoary glen]

Also it's not purely better, the high org just means it takes longer to get through a lot of units on one tile. But the better overall stats of a big div make them really good as well for defense.

Basically as long as you can afford it the big Inf is better.

[past quarry]

China seems hard

depends which china tho

[mystic gyro]

got it thanks will probs update my british units game divs after i consolidate the empire

[hoary glen]

If you want to learn about war play Germany and try to beat Poland. If you want to just move around a few units to get a feel for the game pick Australia or Canada and support the allies in Africa.

[mystic gyro]

cus rn i dont wanna try updating with only 1.3mil manpower

if you want a nice secure place for yourself

play italy first italy

basically you alone decide when you want to get involved

[scenic nacelle]

Italy is NOT secure

One British shenanigan and ur dead

[vestal cipher]

What happened to the templates that were pinned?

[hoary glen]

vs the AI you can get away with some shitter 10~14w port Garrisons btw. Just one last stand and they bounce lol

[hoary glen]

Got consolidated into one post

[mystic gyro]

i would disagree in my games where i went italy first they never came after me i never allied with germany

[vestal cipher]

I see, thanks!

[mystic gyro]

as long as you purposefully avoid pissing them off

your pretty golden

[glacial steeple]

[hoary glen]

Not to my knowledge

[past quarry]

theres so many templates for germany

whats the best general template

for default hoi4

[small flare]

I cant speak much on mods, but ideal combat width is at least 30->36 (iirc not completely sure)

So your losing out on a bunch of possible attack power.

Just make sure you can completely supply them.

[thin girder]

how do i naval invade

[past quarry]

How do i auto set a place to put the troops

[covert hull]

you make a naval invasion order, assign divisions

then ensure naval supremacy

and that you have enough convoys

then you need to wait for it to plan

and then launch it

[thin girder]

its gray

[covert hull]

You have to select the army then you have a couple options.

1. Fall back line (you can click and drag)

2. Front line, You can also click and drag this, or just click on a border with another country

3. Area defense (this has a lot of different uses including coastal defense, border defense, and other things)

[uncut narwhal]

[small flare]

What do you mean by CP im not familiar with the abbreviations

[past quarry]

i meant army experience

idk why i said command power

[small flare]

Ye you need to use political power and put a guy on your (military staff?)

Or fight wars to gain army experience, exercising your units also gains army experience.

[covert hull]

make a 3x3

works best

IF you have the equipment you can add 1 line artillery but if you dont have abundant arty then dont
