How do i get Naval Dominance in the great war most of my ships are 0 and some are 1
You need to have a lot of ships produced
u want me to make 500 ships for 1 naval invasion
...?
worlds least helpful crop
?what year do you guys replace your defaulte template with meta
you have to be specific, meta for what?
special forces, tanks, fighters?
cas?
francis already took care of it in #hoi4-general
all have diffrent research window
oh nice, nvm
how can i start a tutorial?
remove 1 mountaineer to make it 32, you dont really need engineers, I assume you are using spg for "space marine"?
i guess i am using the spg for the sapce marine thing
lol
ok ill add them
I mean they are not as effective as they were, I would just rather use that spg for tank div
Hello guys, I might have kinda peculiar question, but can you give me any tips how to make USSR strongest in R56 mod? Thing is, im playing against my friends Czechoslovakia(he has whole austria hungary) and his ally Romania, we are playing ahistorical, germany is already mine, but i dont really know what im doing and I am sure I wont be able to push them at all..what could I do?? some special research projects maybe or?? thank you, we plan war maybe at start of 43 or end 42 ( we got all dlcs)
could be better but its still great
ok ty
if you want to minmax the ratio you dont want to attack with smallers divs
like at all
do you have air?
long story short no
alot of cooked things happened, i had air for a bit of the fight then i had to remove
one of the reasons then
if you dont want to build planes sure but then you want to have aa in your divs
see xD
actually i still have air
im lying
only like 500 but i think i killed all of germany airforce so
So the MEFO wiki page (https://hoi4.paradoxwikis.com/index.php?title=MEFO_Bills) says
One crucial thing to note is that some national focuses in this tree (namely Establish the ReichswerkeEstablish the Reichswerke, Seize Foreign IndustriesSeize Foreign Industries, Coal LiquefactionCoal Liquefaction, Subsidize Hoesch-BenzinSubsidize Hoesch-Benzin, and Establish Buna-WerkeEstablish Buna-Werke) will add additional CGFF upon completion. However, if you complete them before the war started then these additional CGFF will be removed upon converting into either Economy of Conquest or Recovering Economy. So make sure you complete as many of these focuses as possible before going to war.
However, in game, I'm not seeing the CGFF change. Is this just outdated info, or am I missing something?
Sorta
Wait no
I was drunk, that might be a bug, or you didn't research batteries
Anyone got good design for destroyers this is starting italy ones
torp DDs
basic DD, best gun you have, 2 torpedos launcher 1s, best engine and that's it
you'll have empty slots
Ok so just focus torps
Cause i also build 2 designs of cruisers 1 to spot 1 as frontline
Destroyers didnt even bother
note that if you do torp DDs, you have to go all in to make it worth it
that means nothing but torp DDs in production and only doctrines that buffs torps and DDs
Ok
you'll have to go trade interdiction, capital hunters or any other that buffs torps in general and not just subs, torp primacy OR patrol boats, light task forces and whatever you like on the last
Ok
So far in naval i only lost like 20 subs early ones
No battle ships havent been sunked only bit of cargo ships
does everyone here speak only English?
Just need to take damn spot from the brits that locks me from entering waters near germany
Rule 1 - English only
i know
I'm just Russian, and my English isn't good. I'd like to have a Russian-speaking person help me understand everything.
I'm writing through a translator
there are russian-speaking people here, but you'll have to go in private messages to not have to talk english
yes, that's what I wanted. because the rules say that you can only speak English on the channel
can you help with the search?
not really
(
is this still savable
we are gettiing pushed back on absolutly every front
no resources
no manpower left
possibly, might need to send the save
are you good with disaster saves?
btw i know on map it looks good but its absolutly horrendus rn
I've done my fair share
the situation is wayyyy worse than it looks
do i send it to you in dms?
sure
accept friend req

can i retreat all my forces and abandon a colony?
like for example I wanna remove all my troops from all US overseas terrirtories like panama, philippines, etc...
cuz i wanna centralized the american theater and have as many troops before i invade canada as USA
Just assign them to the frontline
And they'll move
i mean they are literally idle in these territories
Do you have convoys
and i still dont know i can bring them back
i think so
theres the default ships stationed in these region
On the top bar there should be a number for convoys
At like the middle of the screen
You need convoys to transport troops, idk why you wouldn't have enough as usa though
can i have help with learning uk in SCUFFEDV7? in 10 mins?
is it worth rushing anschluss or to do some more industry/army focuses?
You should do fuhrerprinzip first
Since it takes some time to scale
But do anschluss immediately after getting todt I think
i ussually do hess first, to scale the PP
Eh imo u get enough pp as germany, but do what u like in sp
fair, im gonna go crunch the numbers ig
Is it going to effect my bombers much, if i send them into an airfield for strategic bombing, where i don´t have air supiriorety?
yes, there is a notisable effect, ik its nerdy, but heres the graph
"The air superiority penalty depends on the % of Air Superiority you have: 25% air superiority (red air) means 17.5% Air Penalty to you. Only 121 planes are needed to achieve 35% superiority (if the enemy has no planes)."
OK, thanks :]
np man
I have another Question. I am playing as Germany. I have 1 Marshall that has 5 generals, wich all have their 24/24 divs and in addition to that i have another marshall with 3 full generals. I also have 8 paratrooper divisons. I am at war with britain, but it doesn´t attack me nor do i attack it in a sense of frontline battle. But i am still loosing my manpower and i don´t know why
it may be bc i have a few thousend fighters out, but that wasn´t the problem when i played the first time i played germany. my warsupport is at 97% and my stability at about 70%
I am on Civilian btw
you shoudnt be on civilian in im guessing '39?
What do you mean?
Civilian economy gives only debuffs for the miliitary
might mean the difficulty setting?
Yes, i mean the difficulty.
ohhh, yeah sorry @dusky heart
thats on me, i didnt think of that
I just forgot to mention it, all good
civ diff just affects your production and pp gain really. Doesn't affect the AI or combat
My conscription ( sry if i typed it wrong) is the middle one, i believe it´s called extensive? (i don´t have HOI4 opened rn)
I don´t know why my manpower is going down...
check if you're using more on garrison
Where can i check that?
oh, wait. i know
change it to local police force
it´s a 1x1 cavalry template
and to check garrison manpower spending just look at your manpower
it says 360k
let a day pass and see if it's changed
cuz you were wasting manpower on garrisons
I am still losing manpower
Is fleet in being or trade interdiction better for torp dds? Segl newest guide said to use fleet in being and coastal mine laying as sub doctrine but I saw people saying that trade interdiction and capital hunters is the meta
it's to reduce visibility, since trade interdiction now has a spirit that gives -10% visibility
if you have occupied territories then it does change now and then because of resistance/compliance issues
Well, in most of the playes (benelux and the lithuania region) the resistance is at about 30-35%
What is Cavalry for? Like what does it do better than regular infantry
speed
thats it
and good for garrison
and its better than using motorized for your tank divs until u get mechanized
Is Cav or inf better for tanks before mech
inf stat wise if you dont care about speed
does manpower command affect ai as well? if i add 100k on my country does that also add to the rest of the countries?
No
Alr thanks
Japan is deathstacking onto my land, and I can't push them, but they can push me for some reason. Do you guys have any tips?
Stop attacking and equip your units
After that make a paratroopers army and drop Japan
4 stability 💀 . But also, how is your supply?
Decent
Better than them for sur
okay good, do you have inf equipment 2?
yup
That's what I'm producing rn
Bro they stacked all of their units their and forgot to guard manchuria and korea, so I walked right into them and kicked htem out. This is their only foot on the mainland 😭
good now for the next part. you would want to have 36 width at minimum of pure infantry and support companies and make sure all of your divs are equipped with said guns II. Then when you are ready launch the attack.
500+ hours in this game and still dont know how navy works, any tips or youtube videos that isn't 20+ minutes long?
Unfortunately, hoi4 is a game of trial and error. you just get better over time. But that is just my experience.
Are you sure no artillery?
I agree, thanks
If this was 1937 I would suggest line artillery but since you have inf guns II support arty is just enough
make at least 4 brigades each with 4 battalions of infantry
yes that you can add more inf battalions to the fifth regiment to a maximum of 38 width
I heard somewhere that having a large combat width isn't very good or smth
yes if you go 40 width this would be terrible
39 width is the max
Yo what is a good tank template fir germany
keep it at 32-36 thats fine
I just checked
I don't have to drive them out
I just have to hold nanjing for 70 more days
I thought 38 or 39 width would be okay as Livadeia told me 38 is the max
for tanks yes
but not for inf
correct me if im wrong liv
A 39-width infantry division works, but it isn't optimal
But ti works
if u go over width it needs to pay off stat wise compared to the negative modifier that over width gives you, on tanks u get a lot more stats while inf just has too low stats that its not worth it
A 40-width stops working
37 (using the inf doctrine) or 38 width infantry?
Yeah overwidth gives negative modifiers to stats, and infantry tends to need all the stats they can get
It's better to go overwidth rather than underwidth though I believe
Wouldn't overwidth make your divs more vulnerable?
I assume the biggest problem with 37-39 width infantry is that it just gives dimmishing returns
its just nor worth it on inf, u dont get more stats from it unless maybe full gun3 and so on
but it would not matter
Use these widths for tanks cuz of their armor, use a block of infantry with support art and engineering companies for a good all-rounder infantry (correct me if I'm wrong)
u dont use tanks for armor
not bcs of armor, not engineers for good all around
engineering is fine
If you are getting pierced, it's likely you will get pelierced anyways unless you're armor meming I believe
not in sp
its fine but he said it like it was important for inf
vanilla ai units hardly pierce u
at least it sounded like it
Yea I did
Well that falls under the "if you're not getting pierced" category imo
I dont understand the requirment with X, what do I exactly need to do?
Im trying to attack Ethiopia and clicked the green arrow to start attacking but they wont move
Please help
there must be either a vichy france or any france that is a fascist german subject. Vichy cannot be at war with germany and they cannot control north africa
unpause (spacebar)
you need to unpause the game
Im so dumb 🤦♂️
how do I get vichy france as a puppet?
happens
did you cap france already?
yes, I also capitulated britain, war is over
then you cannot unlock the decision without first releasing a fascist french puppet from the occupation screen. Not that it matters as case aton is there to give you the navy which that puppet will not have
well I released it but still cant do case anton
oh wait...
"does not control the majority of french states in north africa"
how I missed that
what are the signs of a good production mio?
I have this problem with the mods installed on Steam, no one is installed please someone help me
If Ethiopia exiles to the UK do i js restart
How to reach 100% compliance so there’s no rebels
This thing got My head hurt
how do i get dlcs for free
Make a 2 Witdh Cavalery Unit and use it as your garrison template. If you are a democracy select Local Autonomy as occupation law. There are some advisors boosting compliance and beeing at peace also boost compliance gain by 10%
The "free" (cracked) ones dont work with the launcher and you would have to use an inofficial launcher which causes crashes. However you can buy official keys from sides like Instandgaming oe. these you can activate then in steam redeeming your dlc
It will cost you a few bucks but its cheaper then buying it directly from steam
Okay
Thankie
It says it on the red text
Not per se
Any strategic bomber can nuke
how do i get it
Ohhh
I added a large bomb bay, should be able to drop nukes right?
does anyone know why my game freezes when i unpause, im in late 1943 in the midst of a soviet campaign and its really pissing me off, ive deleted like 5 full armies and all my air wings, i have 230 divisons
My guess is that the AI causes the lag with their divs. Try annexing some minor, not involved, countrys or just delete their divs
Question, if you go monarchy with germany, is it better to go "Prioritize Economic Growth" over "Four-Year plan" for the consumer goods?
You should go Prioritize since you are already aiming for a longer game due to your civil war
but if it goes Civilian economy can i change it afterwards?
they have like 130 now still lags
But if you plan on going civil war next time don't change the economy since it will be resetted with the focus ^^
Are you playing with any mods?
so should i change it or not?
vanilla with some here and there
cause i still havent done anything
yeah change it but only after completing the left eco focus
ah okay
hm alr, my last guess is that it could happen because of a major with many units moving them around all the time
What are your pc specs?
3060 16gb ram amd ryzen 7 5800h
Guys iv'e been trying to play multiplayer with my friends for like 3 hours now, iv'e made a thread in the multiplayer forum, can someone look please? 🥺
When does the MEFO bills payements go away? cause i dont have the option to cancel them
when you start ww2
but you can cancel anytime
puh thats at tough one xD i have no clue then sry
in decisions
ive gone with Prioritize economic growth, and it wont let me continue the tree, cause i have the national spirit
after a month or so, hover over the national spirit, there should be a date
^
ye i saw it
can someone send me good infantry template to hold against germany im ussr
what widht would be good?
i need help with paratroopers doctrine please am in middle of planning to invade uk
which one should i choose left or right
the only number that matters is the line on the right, the lower the number the better (combat width)
I usually use 18
so 18width?
yeah that would be a good alrounder
i cant read alat i know depends with combat width but im not doing that much work for that rn
im focusing on not letting germany go behind stalin line
and cap whitout the alies to arive in eu
if you are also using other special forces like mountaineers/marines go right otherwise go left
ah alr
no i just use paratroopers so ty
hey guys quick question does watching hoi4 videos over time like scenarios and ytbers overtime make a new person better at hoi4?
Does anyone have a list of the majors names for super heavy battleships pre man the guns? Ik before it was mostly all based on planned stuff but got scrapped ie italy and germany usa or some that were planned but nothing came of it but ye i need their names
Or class names in this case
To a certain degree yes but after some time no. Many of the YT Videos on hoi nowadays are just clickbait and the used divs are only viable for singleplayer. You can however learn a lot more from competitive hoi players/streamers using actually good divs :D
thank you very much
You could downgrade your game and look in the files, dont think there is a list available
where do you get the extra line batallion from? i remember you used to get it from gbp/doctrines but i don't see it in any of the tracks anymore
I am a really new person to hoi4 so ill watch some regular yt videos then go to competitive ppl
Misleading visual guide, too focused on combat width in a vacuum without taking into account the rest of the game's combat mechanics. Visual is telling you to make smaller divs, in practice smaller divs take more losses, have worse stats, cost more support equipment on top of taking more losses.
"but muh overwidth" doesnt matter as long as you can fit more than 1 division into the battle. Visual displays 32w as bad for mountains, yet the best mountaineer templates use 32w, says 39w is too large for forests yet you can still fit 2 divs of 39w into a forest, with enough modifier bloat to mostly ignore penalties.
In reality, it doesnt really matter too much what combat width you're using, as long as its not below 12 (too little hp), between 20-30 (cant fit 2 divs in forest + river/tw/guerilla battle) or above 39 (cant fit 2 in forest).
I think you have to max out 2 or 3 of the masterys
If youre just watching the people who play without explaining what theyre doing, the videos are useless. But there is a good amount of people who make quality content
k
it just says "fullfill certain conditions" so it would be nice if it actually told you what those were lol
hover over your mastery milestone rewards
if you can afford it smaler divs are better since thei're more "adaptable" to the different combat widths from different tiles and, as more of them fit in a combat, won't be reinforced memed as easily
there isnt enough reinforce rate in post ncns hoi to not get memed by good divs
they explain
bigger = better flatout now
the ones im watching they explain
Then it will give you some understanding about the game
some guy called stakuyi
against ai smaller divs are fine but telling people to use subpar methods is an excercise in poor faith
im watching a vid about rn
but yes, smaller divs do get memed less
goated history youtuber
could someone tell me why my supply hub isnt working?
The upper supply hub is still under construction and the lower one can only supply a minor amount of units due to the lvl 1 railways
0 units are getting supplied tho
from the "bottom" left one?
i have 0 supply in korea
wait no
i have a little
Do you have convoys available
cuz of port
843
upgrade the port as well as the railways from the port to the supply hub and do the same in the mainland from your capital to the port delivering the supply
okay thanks
who has the game clock out of sync on steam?
is he great for like teaching new players throughout scenarios and explaining well, so far i enjoy watching his video
its the thing where german reich tries to stay peaceful
Show how many divisions you have on the border
i havent watched his hoi4 stuff
The supply network is probably overloaded there
heyyy I need help D :
so I'm finally having a good Italy run after so many tries and I managed to get the entire Mediterranean Sea which is hype. I even took all of france before germany even attacked norway which was even more hyped : D thing is, now I wanna move my fleet near England to destroy all of their ships but my fleet won't move pass that tight part between spain and north africa territory. they just stay there without moving
are you already at war with england?
congrats btw on your accomplishments ^^
bc if yes you have to control both sides of the pass
yeah I am I destroyed so many of their ships at Mediterranean Sea I got so hyped xddd
thanksss :DDDD
good luck in your conquest ^^
thank you xd gotta find a way to get my ships pass that part though cuz I wanna take down england before germany starts their war with russia so they could go down fast yk
can someone give me good medium tank template for pushing enemy lines like breakthru
How to build factories faster
And also
Why I don’t hab spy menu like people on youtube I see
So question.
If I have a non-aggression treaty with another nation, and that nation is guaranteeing someone else's independence will they still fight me?
I think it's cuz you don't have the dlc
I see
I thought it’s cuz My game somehow outdated
Figured it out, ended up fighting the allies as Sweden in 1937 😭 🤣
Build in them or lend lease equipment
Request a lend lease or give them a lend lease?
Give
Alr, thank you :]
Is there another Austria other than the one near Germany
Cuz
I can’t train troops there
Spam forts and other buildings, send attaches (if possible) use the focus to suppress puppets (if you dont have any other focuses) and do lend leases
Forts and railways are the cheapest to make so yeah
if anyone tries 44 endsieg mod scenario as germany
its impossible to beat
ive tried it twice using meta tactics and ive lost on both
lend lease them convoys
Bitt3rsteel beat it
Hi im might need some advice or help, im playing germany but the problem is that i failed to land in the uk meanwhile usa and the soviet union both joined the war against me, uk lands in northern france and usa lands in southern france and ofc italy is struggling. Im in 1945 so im in a pretty bad situation rn. I still have 2million manpower tho and 170 divs but my navy is battered
Do i still have a chance?
Depends on the divs as well as the current air situation
if you want we can go into a call and i try to help you
bruhh
i got warned for asking how to get taught to get free dlcs 😭
i guess bruh
:/
I still have air superiority in the eastern front but ever since usa joined i lowk struggle in france
try to concentrade your air over the DDay and push them out if you can, then pull the air back over the soviets
Dday just happens every 2 month since 1943😭🙏
xD
But you got port garrisons right?
Yeah i got 30 divs there and i have som help from rexist belgium
But italy can barely hold in southern france
Idk if africa is worth it tho
try to invest a bit more into the dday wall, the divs stationed there dont have to be as good as the ones you use to push the soviets
One more bad thing is that romania joined the ussr
And it has a pretty solid army
uff xD
Im not that cooked tho
For now
If i manage to push back the landings i might have a chance
Thx for the tips
How can I invade Colombia? It's impossible to get through the Darien Gap, and I'm terrible at the navy.
I am Mexico
Howdy y’all! 😊 I’m new to HOI4 and was wondering if anyone would help me understand the game as tutorials haven’t been really helpful to me, anything helps! Plz DM me, thank you.
with the new dlc?
old doctrines are somewhat easier
but the new ones BOY are they hard
Someone explain to me how railway guns work is it kinda like shore bombardment in that its passive?
yes also they share the same buff slot as naval shore bombardment and don't stack
but otherwise they're just walking buff machines
just remember that you are producing them at 10% efficiency because pdx cancelled efficiency growth for them if you take concentrated, which should be taken in 99% of the cases
so a regular rg is actually 8k cost in reality and a super heavy rg is 16k cost in reality
which is 1 or 2 36w spg division, respectively
Do they at least do bonus damage to forts and disrupt entrenchment?
Cus rj and i stg germany does this every game i let them have fun with historical turnt off
Went democratic and until 1938 was mostly peaceful until britain for some reason decided sweden wasnt safe from the vile fascist germans declared war then germany who was guranteeing them did that and theyve been at a death war for a while but theyve been coming eastwards and they started justifying
Btw
How is it that the ai is able to break the rules of nonagression packs? Japan is somehow justifying on me atm
yes
since shore bombardment/rgs provide a debuff to enemy attack and defense
but be careful with rgs; logistics strike and strat bombing destroy railways which rgs are considered part of (so you rgs get affected too), and rgs ignore naval access levels so you need to micro them when they move on the water
if you want to directly blow up fortifications you need super heavy howitzers, since that's what extra collateral damage does
cuz japan has a focus to declare on the owner of SE Asia if you annexed them from britain
wiki has a page on rgs https://hoi4.paradoxwikis.com/Land_units#Railway_Artillery
Tried this but nothing really worked
Nope i dont own that either
Infact i gave them the saki islands as thanks for the civil war help
can you tag to them?
Ye and ibdid
focus justifications ignore non aggression pacts
Basically i checked myself
Cant cancel anything
Checked their tree
They def doing historical strike south
And i hovered over to russia you cant justify as you have non agression
Also its 41
They Still HAVENT TAKEN CHINA

And i love how with the japan update
Pdx decidednyou know what
Lets make china a giant region of border gore
More than it was
IS there any reason to put Bomb Locks on Carrier Naval Bombers?
So thought occured absolute fastest you can make a light tank div go
Has there been changes to how line flexibility settings work? I never used to even think about switching off of flexible but idk if its in my head or not but my divisions seem to get moved around soo much more by the AI now then before, even canceling orders ive given them to walk to the otherwise of the map
when they patched the garisson planning glitch they added an immobile setting where units will never move w/o input and get 50% planning
other than that i dont think so
Gotcha maybe its just in my head lol, I will say AI in general definitely cant manage its lines as well as it could pre-NCNS, especially in a multi front war
Can someone refer me to a guide to how navy works.
Cause if I have to deal with these dumb (badword) ships not patrolling where I tell them to, even after I rebase and make sure the area is highlighted im going to put my keyboard and mouse into my monitor
could be due to a strait blocking access?
What counts as “properly equipped” for the newer Ansch
100% fighting strength i believe
How do yall build ur medium tanks? Like what do you slap onto them
if your just playing singleplayer then you want medium howitzer (artillery 2 tech, howitzer 2 is 2 techs below that, radio 2/3, 2 small cannons and whatever has the best breakthrough (stabilizer, armor skirts, etc) if you aniticipate fighting w/ bad supply then replace the breakthrough module with wet ammo, add tors bar for suspension. you also want to max out your armor clicks (for the breakthrough) and if you want you can do speed clicks
you should also do SP arty and not plain mediums
Remove breakthrough modules if you don't want to waste the XP and ic
Thanks
is assault or armored engi better
That's a no brainer assault is way better
If you ever read the tooltips then you can tell
i was confused bc segl used armored in tank template
thx for letting me know
Maybe you confused the two icons? They're hard to identify tbh
Also armored requires extra research which sucks
no its a horizontal shovel on his
but its a td template so maybe thats why
Maybe cuz he wants extra entrenchment?
his reasoning was "terrain stats"
but doesnt assault do the same?
Do yall like the Habsburg Path or the Facist Path for Austria? (more)
I always prefer the Herrenhaus but, I've also never really given the Facist path a solid try
I GENUINELY have never done a hungary-started austria-hungary run
very cool focus tree
Anytime I do Aus. Hun. I always start as Austria then start taking back my stuff
translethanian formable
I should probably play hungary more
Ive only done a greater hungary run
and havent done much w them since
Yo guys what do I need to do to defeat the USSR. My division always has low fighting strength for some reason. Even tho I motorized and upraded supplies
do you have fuel
Templates that consume insane supply are always bad
Manpower and equipment shortages in any sector of your division will ruin every aspect
Overstacking of divisions
Lack of railways
theres quite a lot in the USSR especially
k
Just check all those and then it'll likely be one
yeah if you have like 6-8 divisions per tile
its just too much
3-4 per tile depending on your placement in the union is fine
and if your as deep as the Urals
then you shouldnt even have 3
per tile
since thats like 120+ tiles
thanks
Do collabs if u can so u dont have to go to urals
Any way to transfer ships from one country to another with commands without unpausing?
The USN ran off to Alaska and formed their own country and I want japan to take the ships instead, so I have a harder fight. Annex (tag) seems to just take the land and delete the navy.
take in peace deal or puppet then annes using the puppet system
also anyone got any clue why it sayd 165/0?
Thanks bro, Now I can finally win against the Bolsheviks 👍
w game?
How does italy have 1k factories
so can someone explain to me how this is having an issue finding subs?
its a destroyer
use plane
use RADAR
its in a fleet with escort carriers
does land based radar help?
im playing the beta branch and germany's 6 subs are IMPOSSIBLE to actually attack
guys on destroyers 2 torpedos and 1 dept charge or all 3 torpedos this is early destroyer
3 torpedoes
depth charge is only fpr sub hunting and you make a destroyer specifically for it
ok
remove sonar and fire control
not worth the cost
ok
best doctrine for naval?
so wolfpack huh
cause there is also capital hunter -10 torpedo reveal
but thats uselles ig
why remove fire control?
less applied damage isnt good and its like 60 ic if that
its gonna uslles on torpedos
still has a gun
Hi, can someone get me up to speed and explain to me, how the game works now? last time i played there wasnt airplane designer, army tactics didnt look like in the image haafy posted and game seemed much easier in terms of everything xDD
i will also be glad about some tips n tricks and army compositions, frontline width changed quite a bit, so 20 40 units are no longer needed, so there is no optimal size?
18-36w is optimal now
32 for mounatineers
In singleplayer you basically use 16 or 18w to defend and 32(if mountains), 35 or 36w to attack
just inf? or something like old 7+3 with arty?
i was thinking about making just inf and try some motorized/mechanized division, i enjoy playing smaller nations, but there is no industry for big tanks divisions, which i need to also design... good oll tank with +- thingies xD
we tried game yesterday and oh boy, my units even tho modernized were hammered 6inf 3 artas, couldnt get through anything, dont remember having problem with that in the past
but myabe it was bcs i dont know how to make planes with the new designer...
just inf
motorized is bad
mechanized is decent but not really worth outside of tank divisions
ok, ty, can u point me at some land doctrine as well? new system is completely new for me, if i pick doctrine with some bonus now, i get 4 columns where i can pick something... are those same for every land doctrine? or options changing with initial pick?
yesterday when we played, i picked something without even knowing next options i will get, same with picking 1 option from those 4 columns, dont know what there is before picking
Main doctrines best choices are either SFP or GBP. If you go an infantry build best sub doctrines are Large Unit Tactics, Siege Arty/Field Engi, Tank Sub Doctrine doesnt really matter for inf but prob armored inf support and grand assault as last sub doctrine
ty, found some video about the land doctrines and it seems like good flexible system, will try to make better choices next game .)
Should rebellion and compliance be taken seriously?
im playing non aligned finland trying to defeat the soviets and get some achievements, should i do airforce or tanks or neither as too expensive perhaps idk? i def cant afford both ressource wise obv
for some reason japan declined my non aggression pact after doing befriend japan, is it because Im doing it too early?
alright my hoi4 save is bugged because yugoslavia denied my request of slovenia
I am playing Germany and i am losing incredibly much manpower for no apperant reason. The diff is civilian, my concscription is extensive conscription. I am not training any troops, and i am not in any "battles" when it comes to frontlines. I am at war with the UK, but they aren´t bombing anything or fighting for airsupiriorety. I am using a 1x1 cavalry for my garrisons and resistance is at 40% in some places. Can that be the reason why?
How can i lower it without losing even more manpower? I can´t release them
martial law and set manually to local police force in bohemia and whatever other occupied lands you dont want martial law
someone knows why i cant declare war on non aligned germany but i can on other countries that have non aligned ideology?
"more than 50% world tension"
i know that but i can declare war without problems on other non aligned nation
if you are playing non historical, wait for civil wars, they often happen early game
I guess something is simply different about the nation you're trying to declare war on
what the nation is
i play germany
and on what you're trying to declare on?
Don´t you need a war decleration?
It says that you haven´t made one yet
from what I can see, you're trying to declare on italy, I honestly have no idea why you cant do that, simply start war with other nations to increase world tension
I am losing even more 😭
ok
50k a day
this is because martial law has no manpower decrease, from the screenshot Im assuming you had local police force, which decreases garrison requirement by 35%, simply get a better conscription law
I am gaining some, but then a massive lost of 3k comes in and i go minus
setting occupation law to something else than martial/governor is most of the time not worth it because resistance will then usually be higher than 20%, there are some countries where you can have a lower occupation law but again, nation specific
and germany is not one of them
when playing germany you usually just form reichkommisariats but you have to be careful to not cut off your entire resource supply
just wrong btw
best occupation laws are either civilian oversight, harsh quota or liberated workers if u have it
local police force is good in some scenarios
u want civilian oversight in most scenarios to get compliance, yes u will have resistance but the higher ur compliance the less resistance u get and also the higher ur compliance, the more factories and eco u get from the land u occupied
in general u want to collab countries u go to war with before so u start with high compliance at about 50/70
occupation law like martial law and so on are just extremely bad, yes u dont have to worry about resistance but say by to the eco u will get bc u will have 0 compliance
can someone blesse me with some division templates
do you have no step back?
when is a good time to start getting your research facilities up and running? I keep getting to them too late and now I don't have nukes or jets and its 1945
build them day 1 when you want it fast

mech is insane for holding stuff

likely
dday wall is not a thing in sp
yeye
Should i put destroyers at medium attack or high risk
How to invade diff island?
I play as Soviet but can’t invade Japan cuz diff island
get naval supremacy
Maybe you got no naval supremacy?
Uhhh
How to get that?
you can do always engage once you are comfortable with your taskforce
Strong ships but use my strat idk does it work still spam ton of naval bombers
Cause i can take on france navy
Then british come
if you soften them up with naval strike/port strike you should be fine
what doctrine u use?
any good mod that is not that popular?
thats fine then
oh you are not just spamming dd's, then its fine
As USSR, Do I instantly start building civs or infrastructure?

Unless you going agrrsive
Then mil factory first
ty
Also rush down stalin tree
Yes that i know, but still thanks
Ok
@fathom thistle hope I got a question is memory reduct this website? same question for driver booster I just dont want to install malware on accident
yeah thats why im askin im not downloading more ram its a ram manager but idk it does look fishy
yes
thanks
the website just has werid ui]
xD
its not the ui that set me off but the ai art lmao
Best case scenario it does nothing for your ram and installs some bloatware
it just cleans unnecesarry proccesses
which windows has a lot
especially on pc with low ram
hello yalls
yeah rn im at 50% ram usage (8gb) while nothings open its insane
same pretty much xD
it goes down to 33 after clean
oooooooooooo I like the osund of that
also tip outside of hoi 4 you want to disable background apps
like all of them
or startup apps
I alr did dw dw
If you don't want unnecessary processes you tell windows not to start them, you don't just run some snake oil 3rd party app and give it admin privileges
<@&846894118219022336>
mods explode this guys balls
I guess he downloaded more ram too
<@&846894118219022336>
not everything is shady but sure
you do you
atp windows itself is becoming the shady snake oilers with its ai slop
windows is bloated by itself
even if you try to disable everything in settings there are still processes taht you would need to disable everytime you start it
this just helps to clear multpiple of them with one click
telemetry in nutshell
Pretty much everything unnecessary can be disabled, although for some things it's a pain in the ass
Also there's Windows IoT
thats an option too yeah
how is this even supposed to trick us theres no link
are we supposed to dm them or smth
Ur supposed to sign up for the website
Then they either steal ur wallet or ask u to make a security deposit
there was literally a line saying "go to scambwebsite.com"
idk im a hoi4 player I cant read
Guys I want to conquer Europa and asia as india what division is the most strongest for me?

for achievement railroad from gibraltar to singapore, can it be through puppets? Or does all territory have to be under my control
is it possible to build a capable navy as germany?
spam torpedo destroyers
why it wouldnt be?
because of fuel
Romania is right there
get romania or do that focus with romania
also french puppets have some fuel too
you dont need like gazilion fuel for decent navy
@rigid halo i somehow managed to push back ussr and cause a civil war 🙏
Are there any benefits to taking ban communism focus as france or should you just remove political violence through getting stab
Very Nice ^^ But the civil war comes from the focus of the soviets
both
How to have more naval armies
What is the better rt56 france communist path? Syndicates or pcf? Syndicalists have a bit more factory output and max factories in state, but pcf has pp gain and better construction speed
Definitly not, I was trying to attack Iceland as sweden, rebased my ships to Bergen then just could not get them to bring up naval dominance no matter what I did.
And I had like 15 Capital ships, 60+ total ships in total.
Tried strike forces, patrols, naval invasions support, tried making new task forces.
Also made sure to highlight the 3 sea zones i needed for the naval invasion
marines?
or like move divs at once for landing
Marines
Okay
Thankie
How to cancel/remove a frontline after we draw it
Hi Does anybody know how to deal with this bug?
are you sending lend leases
yes you are, just saw the last sc
I did it only once
you mistyped
I lend-leased smth about 40K
cancel the lendlease or modify it so it sends another amount an you'll be fine
not 968 million
apparently you added too many 0s
is streamlined deployment or mobile defense better for spg
the doctrine that gives +10% soft attack flat
tf do i genuienly do
Dont stack them all in 1 spot?
Also are subs worth sinking ships
Turkish homelanda
what do i fvcking do
hoi4 experts
wake the sht up
its ironman and normal difficulty
I think infra stratutres put supply to trucks your commamders on trucks
Build raildway
i did and yet we lose
Some trains prefably armor ones
Try makin space marines
Infrsntry with tanks
Lol

build with tanks
-
ARMY GROUP
pure inf (simplest form 18w- 9infantry units with support artillery and support aa if you dont have air supremacy0 -
ARMY GROUP
here you put tanks seperately to get more traits for tanks
tanks( for singeplayer 36w-(9 spgs/9mechanized-use cavarly until you get mechanized/for support assault engineers, flame tanks, light tank recon, again aa if no air, hospitals, logistics)
This is like simplest for there can be.
This can help yo7
Hope are subs decent or good sinkin ships
Ig lets say 1940
Ones
I wouldnt waste dockyard on subs.
Ok
Just build nav bombers
Just with my friend then non historical cooked us
Bit of trollin
Ussr britsh france america japan all allies Lol
How to actually manage occupied territories
Rebels and compliance thing
Put horses and do military police
Try maybe add mp in horse division if you can
do you have the la resistance dlc?
Nope
0 dlc
okey, thats fine, u can use local police force, usually you would do local autonomy to get compilance faster at cost of a resistance spike at begining, la resistance make this more durable bcs of collab goverment.
Default cav division on liberated workers for ussr
or that if you communist
Stalin gets the father of nations buff but you already won by then
What does that again
how do i cool down
Also democrats has easy compliance because their territories start with 70 compliance
Turki homelander calm down its not that sirius
i paid that game
with
my
money
and thta gale
is ruinign my pyschilgoy
why so realistic
you dumb fucjks
Daily compliance gain of 0.05
bulgaria has it even more broken
Musolini path
if you play it at some point
Okay thankie
But
What about facist
Hours ago I play germany
Won all battles
But resistance got very high and I just surrender rebels everywhere
Ruining factories
gemany IS SO FVCKING BORING IM TIRED OF PLAYING IT
BUILD ARMY AND STUFF ALSO BS
TAKES SO MUCH TIME
Also liberated worker is kind of like an extra compliance boost
Civil oversight for dem, liberated worker for comm, local police force for elsewhere
I see
i played as germany when i had like 50 hours
but on my second or third german gameplay i won against poland without ussr support
Or germany i fogto
yea italy is ez
ethiopian war is ez
but poland is also ez except france
france is
fvcking brain cancer
France never go maginot
Really? I beat Them under a month
Until I realized “Liberal France” exist
Nice
fvck france
Why I can’t train troops on occupied territory tho
Cored?
Bassicly you can make lets say EU
And you can core full countries on list
Like idk
Belgium
Netherland
And sh
Or as italy roman empire
Aldo you gotta have every country on list
Owhhhh
Like
Form a new country
Using Their territory?
if something is your you have full control of it resources and factories
usually thats you starting territories
Yea like what hope says
but u can get more cores via focus
You can see if its yourncore teritor if you click on area
And has like your full flag over it
Or atlest yours and enemy
Sometimes you get option for war retake core teritori
Whick boost time to declare
usually historical territories of that specific country
good example is hungary
All red is core
I see
But
I fully conquer austria
Like
All area
Is mine
Still same
As germany?
with aunshcluss as germany yes
Yeah
Like war or anchuls
Austria hungary cores are good too
War I think
Idk what’s anchuls
Its in tree
You need to have bigfer army
Then austria
...
I see
So I have to complete the focus tree and not like
Compliance
there goes history class
I think you get full compl on them if anchlus
Lol
u get all cores
no compliance since its all core
But best to do to country is maybe puppet
If you cant core it immditly
They can build theirnown mils and civs
so which nation should i play enct
so which nation should i play next
Or som
But
When I conquer using Germany
No option for that
Their territory auto become mine
Oh you no dlc
Sht
Forgot
u cant core a puppet even if you annex them later on
Ik but less dealing with garisons
Whick drain mampower
Fukton
Ifnyou get dlcs try uk blackshirts
Fukin good
Aldo gotta deal with early civil war
the mr house doppleganger
Which is better? The german dlc or ussr dlc
Idk i bought 15 euro 3 month
no step back
