[scenic vessel]

they like at the mediteranean cost rn

[verbal venture]

cant you get a suply hub or a port?

[scenic vessel]

like build it ?

lm check

[verbal venture]

conquer it

[tired moon]

please help

how do I train the paratroopers

it doesnt let me

[verbal venture]

i said it before

i think you need a bigger army

[tired moon]

oh i didnt see it

oh i had these

they arent much but they were enough (and im running out of manpower)

[verbal venture]

which is the template?

[tired moon]

wait

what if i made a template with only 1 thingy

would that allow me to make special forces

[verbal venture]

it count less

the thing is the amount of battalions

but if you cant get any whit that army idk why you cant

[tired moon]

so I just need to spam out the division with this template?

[verbal venture]

what country us it?

[tired moon]

france

[manic valve]

I'm currently trying to recreate the Austro Hungarian Empire as Hungary, how do I fix the manpower problem due to locked conscription laws of a monarchy?

[verbal venture]

havent played france in a long time

[tired moon]

no dlc btw

[verbal venture]

try whit the doctrines of the special forces

[tired moon]

wdym

what doctrine

[verbal venture]

army doctrines in the special forces zone

[tired moon]

are you sure thats not dlc

[verbal venture]

have you anexed austria and chekoslovakia?

[verbal venture]

i think so

[manic valve]

With rt56 i only can puppet the chezs and Austria is always refusing to join me so I always have to make an expensive war to get them

[verbal venture]

i do not know the hungarian focus tree in rt56

[tired moon]

where is it

i dont see anything like it

[verbal venture]

that thing

[tired moon]

where

the special forces tab thing?

[verbal venture]

i don't have the game opened

[tired moon]

thats dlc if thats what ur askin

[stiff grotto]

level 9 is max for generals and it gives 25% bonus , how to removethe limit and make level 100 wit hsuitable bonus

[tired moon]

for some reason I cannot train any special forces

like it just doesnt let me

oo

if i paradrop on like the ports and stuff, could I then bring my army there

or could I just paradrop all the victory points

[verbal venture]

they will posibly have troops defending the capital so you will not cap them whit paratrops

[tired moon]

what about the other idea

could I just bring my army over after I get 1 province

[opaque zealot]

what are the basis of infantry can yall help me make good infantry for majors and minors but specially for majors like teach me it

[verbal venture]

whit one port yes

[uncut narwhal]

what do you want the infantry to do?

[misty wagon]

whats best form of garrisons im kinda cooked no manpower

[wild kiln]

A single division with only enough light ranks? Occupation / garrison spreads forces automatically from the template icon top left.

Light tanks have better suppression than horses.

Pls fact check.

[misty wagon]

yes but they are kinda more expensive to make

is there a temporary one rn i can make

[wild kiln]

You asked for best form of garrison.

Then just a simple div with some horses.

[obsidian sundial]

a single horse divition is goated fr

[wild kiln]

But you need to change the uni type on top left of that screen.

[misty wagon]

is this good?

[wild kiln]

Don’t need ranger imo?

[misty wagon]

its just a template alr made

ima remove

i dont make horses

[wild kiln]

Then sure

[misty wagon]

also do i put like local police or?

[misty wagon]

do i put martial law or local police or keep

[uncut narwhal]

its not even rangers bro

[uncut narwhal]

yea local police force

[vital plinth]

Hey I have an issue where I play napoleon France , I get the event to leave czechs to their fate or have them join my faction and lose 200 PP. when I choose the later they go to war with them and after some time I get the event for Yugoslavia too but it’s January 1939 it’s messed up historical at this stage not sure what I should do lol

[uncut narwhal]

if you dont want to mess up historical

then leave them to their fate?

like historical

[vital plinth]

Is that what causes them to move away from their other historical focuses ?

[uncut narwhal]

if you dont go historical they ai will do the same

[misty wagon]

thats a thing??

[uncut narwhal]

yea

[misty wagon]

what happend 😭

[austere roost]

A one cav only costs 5xp and removing recon cost 10xp so just make a one cav division

[misty wagon]

i just made a template of like 8 cavs to be sure i dont want people to break off

[crisp tree]

Bro just make puppets

[austere roost]

That's a waste of 35xp

Also what did you do to get so much deficiency

Are you on local police force?

[crisp tree]

Those are not your cores so you dont get all the shit anyways

[misty wagon]

yea

this still happening

[austere roost]

Then you'll need to release puppets

[misty wagon]

or i can go martial law and they can taste the fear

[austere roost]

Sure you have 81k deficiency even with local police force

How many guns are equipped?

You might not need troops for 2 years so you can try deleting troops and see how it goes

[misty wagon]

no idea

[misty wagon]

idc abt the deficit i can remove it but problem is how i stop the resistance

i kinda own the entire world

[austere roost]

You're doing it wrong

[wise heron]

why cant i patrol there?

[austere roost]

Hm even with 22k guns that's still not enough

Maybe release places with low compliance and with no resources and factories as puppets first

[misty wagon]

like which

im fascist tho

[austere roost]

Not enough fleets it tells you that

[austere roost]

Check for yourself

[austere roost]

Only release puppets if your fascist

[misty wagon]

i dont have puppets

[wise heron]

i dont thinkj soi

[austere roost]

How does that contradict what I said?

[austere roost]

How many task forces do you have? I'm you need at least one task force per sea zone for patrol

[wise heron]

i have two for two but its okay im just gonna change the naval invasion

[misty wagon]

u said release puppets if your fascist i dont have puppets

am i getting this wrong im confused

[austere roost]

How are your reading skills so bad

How do you think that only release puppets if you're fascist and that you don't have puppets right now are contradicting

I'll say it one last time

If you don't change anything you'll never fix your garrison problem and changing it to martial law only makes it worse for you

[misty wagon]

okay i understand

[austere roost]

You need to delete divisions and release puppets, starting from puppets with no resources and factories and low compliance

[misty wagon]

question, is there any easy country i can just puppet quickly i need to do reinforce the empire focus

[austere roost]

Idk I don't play Uk a lot

Check your occupation tab

[misty wagon]

do you think i could take over yemen quickly

[austere roost]

Sure do that if you want

[misty wagon]

what are the odds they join some axis and i get oblitirated

[austere roost]

Idk

Try it yourself

[full dock]

Which GUI mod is this, please, and does it break anything in the game?

[fleet rivet]

I have no idea what this is

I play Kasierredux or Kaisereich or vanilla

[fathom thistle]

website div designer

[full dock]

Ahh, so not a mod at all, then.

[fathom thistle]

https://hoidesigner.com/

[void breach]

How do i stop my chudlings(troops) from advancing past the offensive plan or line whatever

[uncut narwhal]

stop the battleplan

[full dock]

Thanks much, I'm there right now :)

[uncut narwhal]

and line doesnt dictate where theyll actually go

[void breach]

no cause i still gotta advance in other areas

[uncut narwhal]

then micro

[lucid torrent]

why I can't increase my dominance?

[obtuse anchor]

You probably dont have ships that havr enough range to invade that far

[amber heath]

anyone know how to fix this

[obtuse anchor]

Defend

Have you built any forts?

[amber heath]

i have wayyy more troops than the soviets and theyre well supplied but still wont fight

even on agressive posturing

[obtuse anchor]

Show the whole screen pls

The only hope of you saving austria is a blessing from jesus himself

[lucid torrent]

I do

[obtuse anchor]

Press on your admiral and show me a screenshot

[amber heath]

?

[obtuse anchor]

You have to build dominance on every sea that your naval invasion goes through

[sick ginkgo]

Hi

Is my fleet strategy okay? I just spam submarines to hunt convoys and spam naval bombers

[lucid torrent]

Yes, I know that, but the matter is domimance don't increase in these region

[obtuse anchor]

Its probably bugged, try to micro your way to ufa

[amber heath]

ok

ty

[obtuse anchor]

Okay, im no expert with navy, but i think you should deploy planes, and deploy ships in the 2 seas directly right from the red one

[spark cedar]

@uncut narwhal Yo you told me to watch that guys video

i know how to play the game now

[obtuse anchor]

How many hours do you have

[spark cedar]

maybe 50-70

[obtuse anchor]

And a successful sea lion already?

Good job

[spark cedar]

ty

just landed

[obtuse anchor]

Btw which video did you watch

[spark cedar]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qrfR91lIO0c

he didnt do the naval bomber method

but i did

[obtuse anchor]

If germany lands in the uk, they are cooked immediately

[spark cedar]

and it works 100/100

[obtuse anchor]

Unless the uk goes communist, 9 out of 10 times they will keep most of their army in africa

[low olive]

how do you do that? i tried with my fleet today on every single setting and i wasn't getting any dominance in any sea region

[obtuse anchor]

Set your navy mission to "Patrol" and set your airforce missions to Port Strikes, Naval Bombing, Naval Recon

[spark cedar]

holy shit naval bombers shredded uks navy

[low olive]

oh its patrol not strike force

[obtuse anchor]

Strike force will do nothing, i mostly use it to defend my coasts

[obtuse anchor]

I gotta try this strat tomorrow

[low olive]

this game is hella stupid tho, for 300 hours ive tried countless tank templates and tactics only to lose in 1940 ish. today I built only planes with a defense infantry template and got my first world conquer

[obtuse anchor]

@spark cedar i have a division that will literally eat the soviet divisions alive

[spark cedar]

😭

[obtuse anchor]

What were the tank twmplates

[spark cedar]

im going to fight soviet next so ill need it

[low olive]

literally everything i could find on the most recent tutorial videos. never using tanks again after today, this plane spamming works way too well

[obtuse anchor]

Its 8 medium tank sp (tank artillery) and 8 mechanized (support art, hospital, moto recon, and engineers)

[obtuse anchor]

If you used tank+motorized, you probably used the wrong templates

Tanks work best with mechanized inf

Also tank designs matter

[low olive]

it does not matter if its tanks+mot or mech or anything, tanks never worked in my playthrough

[low olive]

having 8k planes in the field tho, US and UK forces COMBINED were crushed in literal days

[obtuse anchor]

Peak

[obtuse anchor]

Because air supoirt also mattets

Matters

[low olive]

yeah well turns out its the only thing you need

[obtuse anchor]

If you push tanks without any air, you will 99% lose

[low olive]

that's the thing i had quite a lot of air combined with strong tank units and still nothing

air alone just gets the job done better

[obtuse anchor]

Then you probably had shit tanks

Did you use light medium or heavy tanks

[low olive]

medium always like the tutorials say

[obtuse anchor]

What template

[low olive]

half ish medium tanks plus other half of mech with organisation of 40 paired with logistics company, armored recon and some other stuff that I don't remember

[obtuse anchor]

What about tank template

[low olive]

i have base game I can't design them

even if i didn't then after today it makes no sense to even research tanks

[obtuse anchor]

Thats the reason you lost

Basegame design are pure shit

[low olive]

they take forever to produce, they're expensive, insanely slow, use a lot of fuel and takes forever to replace

planes can travel across the map in seconds, insanely cheap to produce and by 1940 you already have like 5k on the field

[obtuse anchor]

They are better in mid-game and lategame

Usually after 1941-42

[misty wagon]

its 39 and germany hasnt done anchluss yet

[low olive]

yeah...except with planes i had USSR defetaed by 1940 and controlled 60% of the world

im not sure tanks can manage that

[dusty sandal]

they aren't, basegame tanks are fine but have less bloat making indirectly the game harder because the difference between AI and player stats isn't as high

you can still get very decent stats

[obtuse anchor]

Probably because austria either has too many troops or they got hit with the swiss democratic propaganda

[low olive]

I guess tanks can be specked out for 525 experience but it takes forever

[obtuse anchor]

Or anschluss got bypassed

[obtuse anchor]

What was you main div template for your world conquest

[low olive]

9 infantry with support engineer, support arty and support AA

later added line arty as well but it literally was not needed

that's how stupid air battles are in this game

just make the 8k aircraft follow your attacking division and frontline melts like it's not even there

[manic linden]

@thin zealot I've researched nuclear but and built the research facility but I only have Enrico Femi's buffs. Not that 100% breakthrough

[fluid verge]

can i ask things about mods here

vanilla adjacent mods anyway

cause like how tf do u win this

kaiserreich btw

[hoary glen]

Probably like Vanilla Poland

[fluid verge]

so spam out the most minimal template possible

i thought itd be easier since its kaiserreich

i could also just let germany join in but i didnt feel like it

feels a little cheaty

at least directly

[spark cedar]

oh what have i done

italy is going to be gone soon

[obtuse anchor]

You dont

[fluid verge]

you do though

some bullshit youtuber can do it easy pissy

[fathom thistle]

you bleed them out

play pure defense for a year or two and you will their casualties

then you can push easily

[fluid verge]

im getting pushed out

and i get capped

no idea why either

[fathom thistle]

whats your division?

[fluid verge]

i just made 18 widths with shovels and support artillery and AA

superior firepower doctrine bc i had an advisor that gave me mastery gain in that

i had like 20ish units at the start of the war

[fathom thistle]

adding signal companies for that initiave wouldnt hurt either

[fluid verge]

i can barely afford support eq

[fathom thistle]

you could also place one tank with stacked armor to not get pierced

[fluid verge]

i could try making my units cheaper and then make more of them before the war

[fluid verge]

i cant make tanks in my position tho

also you mean spgs right

or SPAAs

[fathom thistle]

both work

[fathom thistle]

how many mils u got?

[fluid verge]

i think i had like 5 on guns by that point, two on support, one on trains, one on AA, one on artillery and i think thats it

[fathom thistle]

take 2 from guns, put one on truck put 2nd on tank, it will build up if you start from begining

[fluid verge]

i cant afford tanks dude

[fathom thistle]

just build spaa then so you save up on production on aa

[fluid verge]

but usually people do both SPAA and anti air support

[fathom thistle]

do both, 3 on guns is fine if you are not in deficit

[uncut narwhal]

play kaiserredux

[obtuse anchor]

Also build more mils and try to make defensive divs (8 inf support art support aa support eng)

[scenic salmon]

are there any templates that work well for rushing on the frontlines non defended areas, or even to quickly flood an area to help encircle enemy troops when on battleplan?

i usually play minor nations like greece, so frontlines usually stretch me really thin unless i have an ally

[obtuse anchor]

My last greece game i used 7 inf support art and support eng

[scenic salmon]

ill try that, keep having difficulty with turkey and then dealing with romania

one strat that has worked for me is capping bulgaria 1st and then taking their lower states to help encircle

[obtuse anchor]

Give me a screenshot of thrace and i can give you a good strat against turkey

[obtuse anchor]

Never take anything from bulgaria before fighting the turks, you'll understand why in a second

[fluid verge]

dude i cant build any mils with my 3 civs for like all of the pre war years

[scenic salmon]

okay, yeah this strat was taking lower part of bulgaria and then puppet top part to block off romania

[fluid verge]

the focus tree ones takes forever to get

i was literally behind the river and i got pushed out

its useless

i built 9 inf+support aa and arty

[rapid urchin]

japan's civl war SUCKS

should i have deleted the divisons at the start?

[obtuse anchor]

This is the best strat against turkey and it can be won using the default 13 divs

You set aside 3 default mountaineer divs for a landing in alexandroupolis, and set the rest to defend Thesalonikki and the top province

[obtuse anchor]

You are going to let the turks come in, and after the landing, they will be left with zero supply and you can easily kill their divs in thrace

[scenic salmon]

ah okay

[obtuse anchor]

And repeat until they have around 8-10 divisions

[hollow plinth]

[obtuse anchor]

Best strat to restore byzantium

[scenic salmon]

okay cool thx

Now I know there is the Restore Macedonian Empire, wanted to try that one as well, same thing still work or does the timetable not make it work

[topaz furnace]

Is this basic light cruiser temp good or is destroyers better i need help cuz i heard some people say light cruisers are the best and that theyre meta for patrol and strike force

[obtuse anchor]

What timetable

[uncut narwhal]

you want to spam

torpedo destroyers

and you want to have light cruisers with max spotting on not engange

[scenic salmon]

i know that turkey gets guarantees from both axis and britain at some point, and the focus tree for that is much longer

[topaz furnace]

So should i just put torpedoes and improved plane catapult for visibility

[obtuse anchor]

You will declare war before they get guaranteed

[scenic salmon]

okay

[uncut narwhal]

you spam destroyers with max torpedos AND get light cruisers with catapults and put the cruisers on not-engage

[jolly onyx]

Hello! I downloaded Hoi4 and have been launching it from Steam despite buying it elsewhere, does anyone know of sites or sources other than steam workshop for modding, I'm new so I understand creating the folder and paths but sourcing the mods has been a bit difficult

[topaz furnace]

should i build battleships too?

[uncut narwhal]

never

steal them

its beetter

[fluid verge]

i genueinely wanna end it all they keep pushing me out one tile at a time and i cant do anything to them even if i take the easy option to get germany into the war day 1

[topaz furnace]

But can i beat the british navy with just destroyers?

[jolly onyx]

Ideally using the Defecit cheese strategy if you're a minor

[uncut narwhal]

if you have air then yes

[topaz furnace]

alr thanks for the tip isnt torpedoes just for submarines tho im just wondering

[jolly onyx]

Smalls are best early game correct?

[uncut narwhal]

an example of it

[obtuse anchor]

Official paradox website

[uncut narwhal]

no idea for no dlc but with bba you only use small basically

[uncut narwhal]

no they also go on dds

[topaz furnace]

holy

[jolly onyx]

I'll find all the major ones such as Kaisereich, Millennium dawn and R56 on there yeah?

[obtuse anchor]

Yes

[topaz furnace]

Thanks for the tip mate i appreciate u

What map are u using for colour btw?

[uncut narwhal]

a lot of the work was done by cas, so get a good airforce going

[topaz furnace]

mod i mean

[fluid verge]

im so fkcn dogshit at this game

[jolly onyx]

Been running small spam early game with light tanks for Greece good for low manpower but light tanks get crushed if you don't get better armor and use artillery to bolster

[topaz furnace]

i will im good at building planes

[jolly onyx]

Thank you for your help really appreciate it!

[uncut narwhal]

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2938290655&searchtext=gfx
this and a better color mod iirc

[uncut narwhal]

light tanks and line arty are ass

[jolly onyx]

I've noticed, but mediums are a lot more difficult to mass produce for armored divisions unless you research efficiency and invest like 2 sets of five mills

[uncut narwhal]

do you have no step back?

[jolly onyx]

Especially as a minor like Greece who starts with only like 4 mills

[jolly onyx]

I got all the DLCs afaik

[uncut narwhal]

ok then your gonna produce an inter war chassis with 3 man turret and a heavy machine gun as main armament

then when you get the good gun

you make the tank good

[vital plinth]

Hey @uncut narwhal regarding the thing with not leaving Czech to their fate and Germany attacking Yugoslavia much earlier in 1939 March , Italy joined axis start of 1939 but they haven joined the war and just remain neutral in axis is there something that need to happen I can do to get them to join the war ?

[uncut narwhal]

and convert from the old chassis

[topaz furnace]

Is this temp good?

[jolly onyx]

So I should leave extras out to lower production cost early game?

[uncut narwhal]

so iirc italy joins after france falls or in late 40/early 41

[uncut narwhal]

yea id do that

[crisp tree]

Can anyone drop some templates for Great war redux

[uncut narwhal]

yea just dont forget to put it to not engage

[jolly onyx]

Can happen during the fall of poland but depends on player input

[uncut narwhal]

everytime i played france italy took its time

[jolly onyx]

Quick question, is it better to spam various production lines with a single mill for efficiency maintenance or a single line with multiple Mills

[uncut narwhal]

depends

like gimme an example

[jolly onyx]

When I play Greece I notice it's usually right after Albania capitulates and bulgaria finalises it's transition to Reich protection that Italy joins the axis

[jolly onyx]

I'm in a big deficit, I have a handful of factories and only later industrialise, so what I've been doing is setting up multiple production lines with single civs for the same product in this case rifles

So I'll have 3 lines at 103% efficiency max producing like 33 a day as opposed to one line having 3 mills taking longer to max out efficiency

[uncut narwhal]

so 3 production lines with 1 mil each on guns?

[jolly onyx]

As an example yeah not just that

[uncut narwhal]

yea dont that

[jovial ferry]

ive had hoi4 since march and i still have ABSOLUTELY no clue what im supposed to do

[jolly onyx]

Restore byzantine empire and help the axis win is my goal

[jolly onyx]

Investing more and more mills on one over time better ?

[uncut narwhal]

yea to max out cap

production cap is so good

[jovial ferry]

restore the what?

[vital plinth]

Oh well I basically beating Germany in mid 1939 , should I justify on Italy instead then. ?

If they not gonna join until later

[uncut narwhal]

if you want then yea

[jolly onyx]

Good to know, is efficiency focus or multilateral lines better in terms of research

[uncut narwhal]

multilateral?

[jolly onyx]

Greece has something called the facism byzantine empire focus where the Democrats fail the convention to decide turkeys fate in which they are usually peacefully kicked out by fascists who intend on restoring the eastern roman empire

[jovial ferry]

oh okay ill do that

[jolly onyx]

These two, right i call multilateral left I call efficiency

Idk the technical terms lol

[uncut narwhal]

left is concentrated and right is dispersed gng

theyre also called that btw

[jolly onyx]

I'd recommend the german reich or Britain if you're new to strategy games especially paradox strat games. They have easy integration and strong units along with high manpower

[agile nexus]

i just started why am i losing to ethiopia in the tutorial

[jolly onyx]

I usually do concentrated when I do the single mill lines but I'll try it now with multiple mills on one hopefully it works better, haven't tried dispersed much yet

[uncut narwhal]

yea i usually use concentrated

dispersed is good when you are changing production lines often

which you dont want to do often

[jolly onyx]

You have to call the troops from mainland Italy into the war and form a southern offensive push from Somalia after gaining ground in Eritrea so they lose entrenchment

[uncut narwhal]

usually

[jolly onyx]

Yeah I usually only change early on for trains for a minute or extra odds and ends till I reform the templates

@agile nexus if you don't know how to embark troops onto the water you click on a naval base they can arrive at in this case the naval base in Eritrea or Somalia for example if they're in Italy or Libya

[lunar notch]

how can i destroy japan? i launch naval invasions but they either dont make it across or get immediately encircled when they reach mainland

[jolly onyx]

Have you got paratroopers

Just launch paratroopers while naval invading if you have a high cap

[uncut narwhal]

get a lot of cas

[jolly onyx]

Or this. Just bombard while disembarking

Air fleet makes such a big difference navy is actually unimportant compared to air support

[lunar notch]

they manage one naval invasion, disembark 3 divisions

these 3 divisions conquer vietnam

vietnam nations re-emerge, immediately deploy whole armies

germany driven out of southeast

it might be skill issue but i still hate japan

[charred fable]

Move all the troops from mainland Italy to Ethiopia.

The two infsntry divisions in Sicily (or anywhere) and mountain divisions go to the northern front. Everyone else reinforces the southern front.

[lunar notch]

hit the f4, which will show you the supply map grid. then, shift+ double click every orange supply hub you see around ethiopia

[jaunty vigil]

leningrad, moscow, stalingrad, vladivostok all fell why is soviet still alive??

[lunar notch]

you need a certain number of victory points to force capitulation

try capturing more cities

[hollow plinth]

el victory point

[obtuse anchor]

Capture more cities

The soviet union is holding on some village with one hous made of shit and sticks somewhere in siberia

[jaunty vigil]

Just capitulate already 😠

[spark cedar]

only 1.4 m?

damn i had them at 14 mill

[drowsy pendant]

Best tutorial to learn HOI4?

[hollow plinth]

youtube

[austere roost]

bittersteel's germany guide

[blissful nova]

keep pushing

[blissful nova]

watch gameplay videos

not guides

[jaunty vigil]

Is there a way to turn off auto deploy

[sand ember]

Don’t select a state when you’re training your divisions

and they won’t autodeploy

[warped river]

whats the best fighter template or 1936

for

germany

[red mesa]

probably to just replace the LMGs with cannons. Add fuel tanks once you research them. You only really invest into a full suite fighter design once you have the 1940 fighter and engine 3. Before that it's just high air attack and range for cheap

[austere roost]

research 1940 small airframe on day 1 and then use the template in pins

[neat widget]

bitterstell isn't that good at the game tbh

segl has a guide btw

[latent mural]

what should patrol fleet comps look like?

[austere roost]

but his guide is newbie friendly, is segl's friendly?

[neat widget]

sometimes you need to learn the hard concepts first

like not battleplanning everything

[scenic salmon]

so ive been trying your strat, they dont get down to that low of a number

and trying to push past the strait they just reinforce block

[iron veldt]

why

[vital geode]

I usually just patrol with my entire surface fleet lol

However, if I have the naval industry I usually have 1 escort carrier, 1 spotting heavy cruiser, and some screens

(how can you tell I play the US)

[jaunty vigil]

I cant get air baes access in europe because im communist is there anything i can do? Im china and have a lot of planes i want war score

[keen hemlock]

improve relations with someone

[ripe crest]

Just came back to the game have the template meta changed from the last 10 months?

[warped river]

question, does max planning just serve as the maximum amount of planning bonus a unit can get or does it also affect how much planning bonus

like i assume planning speed is how fast they get the planning bonus

but does the max planning affect the planning bonus?

[vital geode]

Max planning is the highest value you can get from planning bonus.

Doctrines, general/field marshal traits, and national spirits can effect this

[vital geode]

Planning speed is like you said. It just goes up a certain percentage a day

If you have a max planning of 12% and a max planning of 60%, your planning speed doesn't change. It will always go up however many percent a day

[plush crow]

why is italy's division organization so bad, and how can I fix it?

I've been trying to naval invade the uk and just cant because my troops just lose any and all organisation in the first battle. they're supplied and strength is high. my infantry units have 47 org

[plush crow]

correction* they fight well at first but eventually the organisation just tanks and it takes ages before it's high enough to actually fight

[lunar notch]

what division exactly

[plush crow]

i've got 6inf 3art

[lunar notch]

there is your problem, try removing 3 line artilleries and add 3 more infantry battalions

[plush crow]

support artillery and engineers

[plush crow]

okay

[lunar notch]

line artillery battalions significantly drops your organization

[plush crow]

thx

[jaunty vigil]

does the -110 tag ever go away

[lost sky]

hello does anyone know how to fix this problem? my game is broken or smh idk

[slate nimbus]

whats the best way to attack Greece as Italy? i honestly just need it for the Duce mission and i guess a bit more of land i can get resources from

no dlc

[keen hemlock]

thru yugo and albania

[slate nimbus]

well yeah but besides that being the frontline

[spring shore]

you at war with the allies? if not, try naval invading heraklion (crete)

[slate nimbus]

they started pushing a lot somehow even tho i clearly had more troops
i suppose the frontline got all messed up with how they got split so now theyre retaking the land

[slate nimbus]

yes sadly i am at war with the allies since this is already 1941

[spring shore]

you might have too many troops, to the point they are eating supply of the ones actually attacking

[spring shore]

sadge

[slate nimbus]

that was true but i was making sure there was good railroad coverage for all of them

[slate nimbus]

its even sadder because Germany feels so stupid this playthrough

so im getting barely any help

Italy shouldnt have been my second serious campaign, ill say that much

[spring shore]

try checking their supply, press F4, and look at what it says, because a railroad doesnt matter much, it can extend the supply hubs range, not how much supply there is

[slate nimbus]

it appeared 9/17 in Tirana so i assumed it would suffice (and it really kinda did at the beginning

[spring shore]

try peeling a few troops of the front, maybe one army

[slate nimbus]

the divisions didnt have attrition either which struck me as odd

or well they did but not enough to actually kneecap them

[spring shore]

this is about where my experiece ends, sorry

[slate nimbus]

id have to hop on again to check well but its pretty late today so might have to wait a bit for that

[slate nimbus]

its okay, i still appreciate the input tho

the frontline might just have borked after that splitting honestly so its fine

[lost sky]

How to fix dis pls I need help

[slate nimbus]

no country selected? thats odd

[lost sky]

The Map is broken or something

How do I even fix dis

I tried validating the game 3 times already

[proper sky]

mods?

[lost sky]

no mods for that screenshot

I didn't use any mods

[runic jacinth]

why are they losing

[quiet sphinx]

Theyre exercising so no org

[maiden lintel]

no organization

[runic jacinth]

ok

[quiet sphinx]

Stop exercise, wait for org then push 👍

[oblique warren]

how do I fix it?

[dull bear]

whats the best initial defensive line against Germany as the Ussr?

[somber vessel]

anything just hold the dnipnier, and a ton of AA

[dull bear]

so following that river?

[somber vessel]

yeah that should be ur battle line

[dull bear]

and then should i wait for d day or launch my own counter offensive?

[neat widget]

Hold until you think you can push and make small encirclements

So probably when you can get like 40 spg divisions and yellow air

if you're doing air

[torpid ice]

Are combat losses logs accurate? I am getting very conflicting reports

[serene helm]

whats the "it" that needs fixing?

[tepid current]

<@&916727971820240976> i am afraid i have 40 divisions stuck in an enemy country and i do not know how to get them out could anyone help me ?

[sterile brook]

like

encircled?

[tepid current]

no stuck in another country after a peace treaty wwas signed

exiled

[sterile brook]

just bring them home

[tepid current]

i do not know how

[sterile brook]

you can tell them to walk

[tepid current]

that does not work i tried

[sterile brook]

are they overseas?

[tepid current]

it say "can not transport do a non naval base location"

[tepid current]

not really the are stu´ck in the sarajevo area

and i play the German kaissereich

[sterile brook]

try sending them to a port

it may be being weird

[tepid current]

i did it doesn twant to

[sterile brook]

huh

weird

[tepid current]

i just click on the port and nothing happens

do you perhaps have a moment to join my channel then i could do a screensharing

[glacial steeple]

pretty common

[sterile brook]

I looked it up since I was unsure

sometimes it just

does that

[glacial steeple]

they can go back over land if there isnt a neutral country in between

[tepid current]

there are 3 of them atleast

[glacial steeple]

when theyre 2 countries away theyre locked and cannot return

[sterile brook]

yeah getting stuck in a landlocked nation apparently just breaks them

[glacial steeple]

theres no fix for that

mil access maybe

[sterile brook]

yeah that seems to be the only fix

[tepid current]

how would i do that

[sterile brook]

diplomacy screen

[glacial steeple]

you can also cheat

` tp

[tepid current]

i mean sicne there is a bug i suppose cheating may be justified

what exactly would i have to do

[simple raptor]

amazing game

[tepid current]

becoose the soviets are not going to allow me to cross there land

we may not be at war properly but it certainly is a cold war

[tepid current]

how could i do that ?

[glacial steeple]

.

[indigo sapphire]

how good are carriers?

[scenic nacelle]

Walk the divisions to a port manually

Then right click for port transport

[tepid current]

i did that but it is alright i just teleported them

<@&916727971820240976> would anyone perhpas have the time to join the @helping lounge and look into my screen for a moment ?

[serene karma]

Whats the issue

[tepid current]

well i would say a genneral lack of understanding of understanding how the game works

[gleaming grove]

you can check how likely it is if you rightclick the US and hover over "invite into faction"

[misty wagon]

well it isnt high

is there a way they help in ww2

[gleaming grove]

not if they arent in your faction

but what do you even need help with? Arent you allied with italy and germany?

[misty wagon]

yea sure..

[misty wagon]

oh well rip

[tepid current]

i could also use some guidance i would like to marhc on moscau but i can not recruit any more trups since i am neither facist nor cumminst

is there any way around that ?

[primal silo]

How do I deal with this?

[misty wagon]

genuenly what do i do

[mystic gyro]

Can someone explain to me how assigning a fleet to a region works cus it seems to assign my whole task force to a region and dk i need multiple fleets for convoy escort or can i leave it to one ship if it has the range?

[mystic gyro]

Your in a simliar sit to me first off keep control of your skies convoy raid the hell outta the english channel

And third keep naval bombers on watch if you have to blow the suez if you havent already just make sure to bring your fleets back to england

Itll be slow but the idea of convoy escorts doesnt seem to be a thing to the ai

[misty wagon]

i lost control of suez

and italy blew it

[misty wagon]

how do i even take axis down

also i dont have naval bombers

[mystic gyro]

If you have fighters you can do it

As i said keep control.of your skies and convoy raid

[misty wagon]

could u explain what convoy raiding does

[mystic gyro]

Consolidate what you can into 2 commands 3 if you have submarines

[mystic gyro]

So you know what supplies and troop transports are?

Convoy raiding blows up the convoys that get sent to either naval invade you

Or to supply themselves

Also it is a REALLY great source for naval xp on carriers

Like all of mine are vets

An army moves on its stomach

My suggestion would be have most of your fleet on the english channel and start shitting out fighters and naval bombers if you have a extreme excess of equipment

Do air superiority over english cnannel and southern england

[misty wagon]

how did this happen in a day

i was checking ur mssg and WHAT

[mystic gyro]

Why did you not pause the game?

[misty wagon]

i did i think

it glithce

d

[mystic gyro]

Reload ti jun first

With the autosave

[misty wagon]

its ironman 😭

[mystic gyro]

Unless its iron man

Ah

Your fed

[misty wagon]

i cant win this u think?

[mystic gyro]

You have a slim chance with some micro

You just gotta lock in with your navy if it still exists

Oh wait

[mystic gyro]

You have no fuel

[misty wagon]

what do i do with my navy

[mystic gyro]

When select a unit

[misty wagon]

i got everyone on damn patrol and convoy

[mystic gyro]

Dont do patrol they dont need it for convoys

But you have no fuel

You dont need your entire navy out

Rotate it

[misty wagon]

rotate?

[mystic gyro]

So lets say some ships get damaged

And need rapirs

You rotate them

[misty wagon]

alrighjt

[mystic gyro]

One navy goes back to port

The other comes out to play

[misty wagon]

smart idea

[mystic gyro]

Rn i have around 5 on raiding and another 5 on stabmndby

Granted i still have my colonies

[misty wagon]

i dont even wanna play of course italy put 10 units on each tile like what do i even do

[mystic gyro]

So i have more oil

[mystic gyro]

Ooh that sounds like a supply strangulation waiting to happen

If you notice a lil red box it means they are low on supplies

[misty wagon]

sob

[mystic gyro]

And get hella debuffed

[misty wagon]

does this mean good or bad

[woeful spire]

I have better troops and huge cas and air superiority and still can't budge them off the tile

[mystic gyro]

Looks like your supplies are holding up

[misty wagon]

they have crowns

i think they tryna become roman empire but they have the wrong part

[mystic gyro]

Attack the div on the right side

The I ne currently with the green bubble

Next attack units with low green

That means they have low org and are easy to push out

Rn the one near hull seems like a good option

They are likely using the north to supply

Strangle said supply

[misty wagon]

so many tactics for 4 tiles

[mystic gyro]

Fleet targeting is a bit wack i havent gotten the hang of it

Yeah

Try invading the us

If im not microing my troops will get themself encircled

And im trying to take out as many us troops as possible with encirclements

[misty wagon]

why cant i naval invade

im tryna send ships for dominance but it wont work

[woeful spire]

anyone have any idea why they won't budge off the tile

[fathom thistle]

Why did you let Italy and Germany naval invade you in the first place ?

[fleet rivet]

idk if he knows how to play UK

[misty wagon]

i have no idea i was guaring the english channel a lot and its my first time as UK

i had 30 divisons of troops guarding the damn channel and they still

[fathom thistle]

Look at the combat stats and there is your answer.

[woeful spire]

The river crossing makes it shit I can't do anything about it

[fathom thistle]

They have defense 137 and you got barely any attack or breakthrough

[fleet rivet]

give it dat hawk tuah

[woeful spire]

https://tenor.com/view/companion-meme-im-crine-luigi-sob-gif-9227778561882860811

[fleet rivet]

BRO what is this

[woeful spire]

😭

[fathom thistle]

That's bcs they didn't naval invade from English channel

Look at map again

[misty wagon]

oh

i forgot to send ships around didnt i

[fathom thistle]

Mhm

In fact 2 other regions

[misty wagon]

HOWWW

im so done how do they have 15 units on a tile and their supply is top notch but i am dying

[mystic gyro]

Ungarrionsed coat line you should be able to squeeze them out if they didnt take a port fyi only use area defence on small garrison troops and not your whole army

They dont have the port so you should be able to secure it

I gurantee if you werent raiding

[misty wagon]

i removed them from the bottom

[mystic gyro]

That wouldve been like

20 divs

If you havent already check to see if you can make any air wings

Just click a airbase

[misty wagon]

this is crazy

[mystic gyro]

Throw whatever fighters you can at them

[storm sable]

What are the dlcs to have better non boring play through

[misty wagon]

i just now realise i havent been producing any since rn

[storm sable]

I am tired of no dlcs and too kind to pirate

[misty wagon]

wait no i had 1 factory

[storm sable]

So i might save some for next 6 months

[mystic gyro]

Dont put all your ships into one task force

[storm sable]

.

[mystic gyro]

Just like unit width it makes a debuff

Unless those were 2 separate fleets

Then how the fu

[misty wagon]

😭

should i convoy raid on the left of the island

thats where they keep comming from

[slate nimbus]

oh damn, ive been doing that all my playthroughs

[woeful spire]

https://tenor.com/view/compedant-meme-descendant-companion-son-gif-229683454138273454

[jolly escarp]

When did italy get good?

and how did you get in that position with faschist britain it's like the easiest nation

[misty wagon]

how

how do u want me to defeat this alone

[jolly escarp]

This is all your fault

You did this

you monster

[misty wagon]

HOW

[jolly escarp]

The average playthrough with faschist britain is taking over the colonies easily beating france then spain and then beating germany

what's so hard

[tepid sun]

How can I do this Austria-Hungary path of forming European Federelation?

With Otto 1

[fathom thistle]

Just conquer Italy Germany France and Benelux

[jolly escarp]

How did you even get in war with italy

[tepid sun]

a ok

[misty wagon]

well i messed up, i attacked france after germany declared war on -poland so then when we won they took all the land

then when i declared on germany italy also attacked me

[jolly escarp]

You have to take france in 1937

Alonside with usa

[misty wagon]

how do i even get usa to help

[jolly escarp]

You need to conquer them

[misty wagon]

US?

[jolly escarp]

USA is weak in 1937

[tepid sun]

I am not in war. I just puted a random image founded in Google.

Tnx

[jolly escarp]

Firstly do the revolution and before you cap the democratic uk

declare war on your puppets

[misty wagon]

I never even killed a big country byn myself idk if its possible for me to take over us

[jolly escarp]

after that annex them all

[misty wagon]

i did that

[jolly escarp]

Then start taking ireland

and france should guarantee them

Prepare naval invasions before hand and as you take ireland easily naval invade france

[misty wagon]

i did that but i took ireland after danzig

[jolly escarp]

WRONG

Why

what were you waiting for

[misty wagon]

i was scared of france

maginot line terrifed me when i was germany

[jolly escarp]

France is weak

[misty wagon]

ALSO i just had 24 divisons

[jolly escarp]

just naval invade their cooasts

if you take a port great

if you don't the one that landed can

[jolly escarp]

WHY

[misty wagon]

civil war

deficit

[jolly escarp]

so what

[misty wagon]

of arms

[jolly escarp]

You can still make like

[misty wagon]

i was like 100k in deficit

[jolly escarp]

4 stacks

[jolly escarp]

dude its fine

Just keep popping out divisions

[misty wagon]

i will always suck at this game

[jolly escarp]

How many hours do you got

[misty wagon]

88

[jolly escarp]

ohh

then it's fine dude

You'll get better with time

just keep watching bittersteel

[misty wagon]

okay

[misty wagon]

i hope

[tepid current]

what does this mean ?

[jolly escarp]

Just pop out troops and naval invade france, get patrol on the english channel before the war, and when you get a port just assign all of the troops to the frontline

[jolly escarp]

Skeletons are fighting for you

[tepid current]

now i am even more confused

[mystic gyro]

Question about the sub doctrines can i swap off them and still get like partial bonuses or what

[jolly escarp]

either it's missing equipment

or manpower

Check on the yellow bar

[tepid current]

well we do have 0 manpower but an army of 2 million the yellow bar is msotfly full

[jolly escarp]

You sure you don't just need to let the game run for a second

[tepid current]

well it did run for atleast 15 minutes

[jolly escarp]

I mean it doesn't look like the yellow bar is full on the screen

[tepid current]

the small yellow one under lightish greenn one ?

[jolly escarp]

yes

[tepid current]

that looks more or less full to me

[hollow jewel]

yo

[jolly escarp]

Can you send one more screenshot but select the army group it's in

[tepid current]

of course

[jolly escarp]

Are the troops not moving or what

[tepid current]

jes they are standing there at the front line

[jolly escarp]

I mean

did you execute the battle plan

[tepid current]

i did jes

[misty wagon]

how do i have 80 hours and still suck so badly where i havent ever taken down a major myself

[jolly escarp]

Maybe change the batleplan to aggressive?

[tepid current]

i tried all 3 levels

[jolly escarp]

I couldn't do that until like the 300th hour

[jolly escarp]

Did you try moving them manually?

[tepid current]

i did not

[jolly escarp]

try

[misty wagon]

i feel like im never gonna be good at this game

EVERY time i do something wrong

[jolly escarp]

dude

[tepid current]

oh

i think i have found out what the problemn is

my forces are standin in a neutral country

[misty wagon]

if its germany i get pushed in 5 fronts or get naval invaded ussr i got killed by japan and UK , UK i got naval invaded italy i got killed by allies

[jolly escarp]

To play the game like an intermediate you have to be at least like 900hours or somewhere near

[misty wagon]

😭

[wild kiln]

Soooooo. Line arty is actually quite not cool.

Saw the pin and all, thought it was mostly about 3w vs 2w but not so much. Bad on levels.

[jolly escarp]

oh

[subtle socket]

motorized lina aa?

thats an mp div but yeah breakthrough is always nice

mine was still cheaper lol

[subtle socket]

line arty is garbage

bc of 3 combat width

and it doesnt scale like infantry

because of composition

[austere roost]

300 breakthrough is enough

Ai at most gets like 200 something attack

[tepid current]

well i now have the same problem again whiel they are deffinetley standing on my teeritory

[vital plinth]

Should i be picking encourage immigration ? To remove full employment in France or is there other way to remove full employment? The other focus gives non core compliance which is helpful

[subtle thorn]

why isnt road to 56 working for me?

[dusty sandal]

you should have 100% compliance in the first place
always pick immigration, french union is entirely RNG with 75% against you, never pick it

[dusty sandal]

can you describe the issue more thouroughly ?
also, if it's related to rt56 asking on their discord directly might be more relevant

[obtuse anchor]

French union will leave you without resources

[dusty sandal]

it will leave you without most colonies and with increasing lag from useless countries :(

[subtle thorn]

yea i have these 2 popus

[dusty sandal]

the red one is a nothingburger. Just telling you to clean up modfiles from the playset
the orange one means you haven't checked the mod last update or aare using an old version of the game

[subtle thorn]

old version of hoi4?

[dusty sandal]

if you're using a beta / version revert for example

[subtle thorn]

i havent played in 3months maybe i last time i saw i was playing mp

o shit fixed it

i had bunch of mods sitting

[vital plinth]

Its 1939 almost beating Germany I put a collab gov on Belgium and almost finshed on Germany but they only give 30% couldn’t make 2 on both

That’s why I’m wondering if I should get that focus that increase compliance or pick immigration I know French reunion is bad

[dusty sandal]

as france you just put everything on local autonomy and never have any compliance issue

[vital plinth]

Oh ok Change to that 👍

[dusty sandal]

second best occupation law of the game btw, right behind liberated workers and better than harsh quota/forced labour

[vital plinth]

Is harsh labor or that other one that gives 25% more mills even worth it ?

Or only for areas I have daily high compliance that it doesn’t get minus ?

[dusty sandal]

yes, on nations you can't stack compliance with

like historical ger with hitler or in MP games for short-mid game gain

[vital plinth]

Ah ok and I see 👍

A last question about navy commanders is there a pinned post about what skills to pick for my navry fleet I assigned commander ?

I have my strike force and spotters in one fleet and subs in other fleet

[subtle thorn]

would ethiopia be fun to play?

[vital plinth]

Wondering what skills are bes to pick

[dusty sandal]

depends on your fleet but generally : anything that makes you spot, hit or reduce your visibility is very good

visibility is most important, less vis = more detection + less hits taken

for occupation laws

[vital plinth]

Oh looks like as napoleon I don’t have the automany law I set on civils law I guess 30% is still fine and can build more from there the next 1-2 years 1930 wouldn’t be to late to build up compliance

There is a focus that puppets Germany but into bounch of smaller states dunno if that’s a bad idea instead of annexing ? 😅

[vital geode]

Me who just uses local police force and calls it a day:

[pliant condor]

it's the larp

[spiral delta]

how do i use nukes? i got 3 nuclear bombs over 75 air superiority and stragetic bombers

[obtuse anchor]

you do it through raids, set up a nuclear raid

[spiral delta]

how

[obtuse anchor]

annexing will make you spend manpower and weapons to suppress the germans

[vital plinth]

Larp ?

[spiral delta]

i did it but it says preparing 30 days but the 30 days aint moving is that fine or no

[spiral delta]

Larp=Live Action Roleplay

[obtuse anchor]

just wait

[glacial steeple]

just means roleplay now but sounds like a word

[slate nimbus]

theres no limit to the LARP

[vital geode]

There is when you adopt the characteristics of what you are larping

[dusty sandal]

that's a no-brainer but it isn't the best

[paper knot]

how do i take care of ussr im scared of it

[neat widget]

wow your army is small

go defeat the usa first since they probably haven't built up

[slate nimbus]

indeed, thats why im Asa Mitaka

[slate nimbus]

truth and real

[slate nimbus]

aint that a bit too early to attack the USSR?

[neat widget]

by the way what dlcs do you hvae

[storm sable]

You sound like if a man and a woman had a child

[paper knot]

every dlc i lowkey got lucky with uk and france i know that i will get graped by ussr

[vital geode]

You took out the allies. Shouldn't be much of a problem

If you inflict enough casualties through encirclements and such, you just need to take the major cities of Kiev, Minsk, Leningrad, Moscow, and Stalingrad along with the caucuses

[errant chasm]

Bruh

[vital plinth]

Has anyone tried France mod rework focus ? France expanded how is it ?

[iron veldt]

lmao

[light knoll]

stupidly overpowered like most one nation mods if its the one I'm think of

[olive sierra]

France is op as is

Don’t even need a mod for it

😔

[light knoll]

its the second weakest major after the us but sure its still a major

[vital plinth]

Is there a better mod for France focus tree rework or. Do we just need to wait for the paradox rework

[foggy bison]

How do i change airwing composition on a carrier after it is built?
I know how to do it when it is built

nvm I think I figured it out

[gusty hinge]

idk if 56 adds something

but i play rise of nation and it adds some stuff i think

[dusty crow]

guys i can thear anything in vc

help

[chilly leaf]

whats the best div template for medium tanks?

[gusty hinge]

for a tank div or inf?

[chilly leaf]

yeah tank div

[olive sierra]

in mp maybe

Singleplayer you can EASILY 2v1 italy and germany with forts

[gusty hinge]

1940?

[chilly leaf]

1938

[uncut narwhal]

youve got no step back?

[light knoll]

no the other way around

in sp

they're still easy af and you can beat any ai

[uncut narwhal]

a civ boosted allied held france can hold germany easily

[light knoll]

just don't have as much scaling as other majros

if you play unhistorically

[uncut narwhal]

you can scale with your colonies a bit

[light knoll]

yea a little

not too much

you have the EU but

its annoying to form

you're dependent on Germany

[chilly leaf]

Nope

[light knoll]

to kill the low lands for you

[uncut narwhal]

yea hist france sucks a bit

any democratic nation is lwk like that

especially hist

[austere roost]

Replace flame tank with with support art if you don't have nsb

[chilly leaf]

wait i do have nsb, i forgot lol

[uncut narwhal]

why aa for sp tho?

[gusty hinge]

try to put the best howitzer, and the best turrets add wet ammunation for reliability, you can make the tank at least 6-8 km/h, use rivited armor and christie suspension

[austere roost]

Cuz ppl asking for tank divisions will have their air shredded by germany

[uncut narwhal]

ok thats a very good point actually

[austere roost]

And in MP sov doesn't build air since they don't have time to fix it

[chilly leaf]

alright

[neat widget]

although in mp sov doesn't build spgs but rather tank destroyers

[gusty hinge]

i think people build some but more TD

[dull bear]

Im playing with road to 56, and ever since the new dlc(which i dont own) Chezkoslovakia always refuses my demands as Germany, how can this be fixed as it forces me to war way earlier

[gusty hinge]

maybe verify the files

might fix it

[scenic nacelle]

Mm Yummers

[wind surge]

Hi all, relatively new to HoI IV and Grand Strat games, this is actually my first one. I've been trying Germany now for just over 75 hours and I've only ever conquered France once and can't even beat the Pole's without being buggered from behind by the French. Help or a co playthrough very much appreciated.

[neat widget]

I think people do that for Germany and not the Soviet Union

[spring shore]

if i am not mistaken (i very much could be) the french wont attack you if you dont them, so a minimal garrison should be enough

[neat widget]

medium td build be like

maybe add a td but idk

[gusty hinge]

i mean they still need light attack too for germany

germany wont only have pure tanks/mechs

[scenic nacelle]

I built it like that since sheep had line AA as 1 width I think

[neat widget]

if you need soft attack the soviets typically go for heavy cannon 3s

[wind surge]

Well that's what I though hence why I put one Army on the Maginot border. However, they just started attacking, I may have accidentally ordered mine too without knowing. I'm not sure, but still the rest of it is so difficult. I feel like I'm doing okay up to Wartime, then I have no clue.

well line aa and motorized aa are 1 width in vanilla too

[scenic nacelle]

Oh really?

That also might have been the 1st time I used line AA

[neat widget]

but you can get slightly more stats with 38-width i believe

also why is your breakthrough so low

[vital plinth]

Hey so when I fight Italy navy some of my small strike fleet gets destroyed but the rest I can’t pull off right after the first battle I get engaged again and I press disengage then I wait and same thing again is it like normally being engaged constantly until nothing is left ?

[neat widget]

you need more powerful strike forces ig

probably include a capital ship

[pliant condor]

yes

forming austria hungary with the new dlc...

is there any way how I can get a wargoal against them without having to wait until 50% world tension

[neat widget]

deathstack moment maybe

[vital plinth]

Ah ok so when I enter the sea zone and lose badly I should expect rest of my fleet to being destroyed without being able to do anything, does pressing disengage help at all ?

[neat widget]

wait which country are you

that has such a small mediterranean fleet

[gusty hinge]

i think its france

[pliant condor]

if they are on patrol they can reengage you instantly

again, nothing in controlling navy is relevant, except having a better fleet than the enemy

your fleet should not leave port if you expect the enemy to be stronger

France's navy is enough to destroy both Italy's and Germany's

Well, defeat them in detail of course

[scenic nacelle]

Good question

Fixed superstructure?

[neat widget]

that'd make sense, i don't think you're supposed to go fixed superstructure for medium td soviets but i might be wrong and that might be fine but probably not

[vital plinth]

Playing France testing out a small strike force that I have extra of 40 ships

Took the German fleet too but theirs is very bad no ? I can’t even refit guns on many of their pre dreadnaughr or panzerclass 😅

[scenic nacelle]

It worked fine for me

And helped majorly against 130-ish axis tanks

[gusty hinge]

i think they are old chassis

[neat widget]

how much did you push btw

[scenic nacelle]

Berlin

It was a race to Berlin and I barely won it

[neat widget]

you must have suffered quite a lot due to the low breakthrough i assume

[tired moon]

Can someone please explain to me how I am supposed to invade britain

I get stuck there

no matter what I do

they are just more powerful

[scenic nacelle]

Ehh not really

[neat widget]

what does your situation look like

[neat widget]

did you lose like 10k tanks? because that's what i typically lose doing this with my heavy tank builds

[scenic nacelle]

Ummmm

I don’t remember that specific stat

[gusty hinge]

get naval dom, do better landing

[scenic nacelle]

I only got like 8 tank divs encircled though

[gusty hinge]

have cas and figthers over them

[tired moon]

HOW DO I GET NAVAL DOM

[scenic nacelle]

Boats

[gusty hinge]

people

[gusty hinge]

you need people to naval dom

[tired moon]

I just dont understand navy

[gusty hinge]

just build planes for naval striking

kill their fleet and than put ur fleet to scout

and prepare to naval land and thats it
