[sage portal]

I had fun with astria hungary

[hollow plinth]

i got austria annexxd them and checkslovak became my puppet and then germany demands you land

woww very good formable pwth and gameplay

[fathom thistle]

[sage portal]

I did once a trick idk does it work still

[hollow plinth]

you cant do your own shit and you have to watch yt

fvck yt

[fathom thistle]

like genuinely

[hollow plinth]

focus tree is just a mechanic

[fathom thistle]

you can get tons of cores

[sage portal]

Hope you know thing where you dont need to accept give germany land but relase that land as puppet

[hollow plinth]

doesnt affect your

do this do that

[sage portal]

Then germany doesnt get sh

[hollow plinth]

it doesnt speak to you

it doesnt tell you

its just buff

[fathom thistle]

welp puppeting whole czechoslovak aint the best idea as hungary

I wouldnt even think about doing that

[sage portal]

Also romania

Never take that q piece forgot name

Beserbia

Just leave it

Soviets gonma get it trought focus

[fathom thistle]

follow the tree, demand your old territories

core them

[hollow plinth]

I DEMANDED

THEIR ENTIRE FVCKING LAND

THEY DECIDED TO BECOME PUPPET

[sage portal]

Happens

[fathom thistle]

u playing vanilla?

[hollow plinth]

ye

[fathom thistle]

rip

[hollow plinth]

for the achievment

[sage portal]

Yugoslavia also same as germany you can tell yugo fully annex puppet them or split yugo and croatia

They can say no

[fathom thistle]

as far as i know you cant get greater hunger without dlc, sorry

dlc hungary is peak tho

[hollow plinth]

i was talking about

Austria

Hungary

[fathom thistle]

oh

[sage portal]

I only playsd austria 1 is hungary really that good

[fathom thistle]

now thats a whole different thing

[hollow plinth]

Ye

[sage portal]

Use militia

Milita can get good buffs

I think still

Idk did they change that

[hollow plinth]

militia

[sage portal]

Its army

[hollow plinth]

yea militia i space marine this that woaooooo wooo

[sage portal]

[fathom thistle]

just the historical territories you can get as greater hungary

[hollow plinth]

allll fvcking vomfusing

[fathom thistle]

ignore the rest of the map

[austere roost]

Hungary is nice

[hollow plinth]

required hours to experience this; 92.0000 hours

[sage portal]

Hope you got good space marines deidn

[austere roost]

It has the SPG mio

[sage portal]

?

Really might try my luck with hungary

[austere roost]

It has the specialized mio for spgs

[sage portal]

What path?

[fathom thistle]

more like this then

[sage portal]

Damn

[hollow plinth]

thats 38 years

[sage portal]

What path best?

[hollow plinth]

to do that

[sage portal]

For hungary non aligned?

[hollow plinth]

because hoi4 works like that

[sage portal]

Dude watcg yt

[hollow plinth]

no

[sage portal]

Wont learn game like this

[hollow plinth]

yt is boring and wont TEACH any shit

maybe later if i cooldown

[fathom thistle]

lets just say I had to fight axis and comitern at the same time

it took some time

alone

[sage portal]

Damn

[hollow plinth]

yeah braincancer you should quit and start new game bro how do you genuienly like

thats fvcking braincancer

like

[sage portal]

Now poland about run over ussr with horses lol

[fathom thistle]

lol

[sage portal]

Say yes to germany butcher soviets

[hollow plinth]

[sage portal]

Bro horses in poland are good

[hollow plinth]

decoratüon

[sage portal]

Bufffs

[hollow plinth]

if horses are good in poland

theymshould be good in the entire world

who the fvck cares about poland when you play other cıuntry

[sage portal]

Cuade poland got buffs and commander who gives them buff

Idk good design for horse tho

Anyone know 1?

[hollow plinth]

Braincancer divisiom

n

[sage portal]

Is this yours?

[hollow plinth]

I was using cheats to test in mp with my friend

Game mechanics

[sage portal]

Ok

Idk why mp in space marines

But ok

[hollow plinth]

whats mp

[obsidian badger]

miilitary police

[sage portal]

Military police

[hollow plinth]

ah ok

[sage portal]

They good for copliance

[obsidian badger]

why light tanks in space marines

[sage portal]

Good question

[fathom thistle]

if it hadnt less attack than a normal inf brick divison'

[obsidian badger]

is that a modern tank

[sage portal]

Its either medium AA tanks

Or spg

Or botj

[obsidian badger]

tds is also good

because u need less

[sage portal]

Tanl destroyer?

Hmmm

Idk

Ai doesnt have that good armor on tanks

I think

[hollow plinth]

it will take me 9 years

for me to umderstand this crap

[sage portal]

We all went trought it

[hollow plinth]

its not enjoyable

[sage portal]

It took me alot of videos to figure tjis game

[hollow plinth]

im tired of it

[obsidian badger]

its just because u need less

[hollow plinth]

Probably 1 year

[obsidian badger]

per battalion

also good for larp as france or germany

[fathom thistle]

tbh I dont think I ever lost a sp game even at start, I just got bored and started new, You just have to read notifications and read what you are missing etc.

like the game tells what you are doing wrong

if you read

[obsidian badger]

did u just reload all ur saves

cause thats what i did

[fathom thistle]

nah, I play iron always

[obsidian badger]

losing? just time travel

[sage portal]

Ironman you screw up

You done

[fathom thistle]

I hate the idea of reloading

[sage portal]

Maybe gonnanhave save

But higly doubt it

[fathom thistle]

it misses that punishment of doing bum stuff

[obsidian badger]

thing is i play with mods

mainly ai improvement mods

which likely make me reload more

but ai is too stupid i need the ai to have braincells

[sage portal]

I thinl there is mod

That makes AI really hard

[fathom thistle]

sheeps

idk which else does it too

[fathom thistle]

ussr AI when your division has 0.000001 armor

[molten patio]

ussr AI.

[fathom thistle]

like idk what their div composition is but it sucks

[obsidian badger]

my greatest achievement is playing 1k hrs without ever touching germany

i cant prove it i think but ye

[fathom thistle]

Valid goal

[sage portal]

You need medal

[inner sparrow]

as next challenge play 1k of ussr vanilla hist mp

[obsidian badger]

i also never played hist ussr

i touched trotsky and tsarist once

[inner sparrow]

what is bro playing as

1k hour of luxemburg aaaa gameplay

[obsidian badger]

minors 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[inner sparrow]

clipped out of context

its over for you

[obsidian badger]

https://tenor.com/view/earn-cp-cod-points-cp-dr-disrespect-call-of-duty-gif-14492841013206218382

[gloomy vector]

is there ever a reason to research chassis besides getting designs that have unresearched modules

[inner sparrow]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1474902061635080435/1492198807109111949/caption.168c6e19.gif

[inner sparrow]

no

if u play mp there could be

[obsidian badger]

like 1944 chassis

?

[inner sparrow]

but sp researching tank chasis is useless

[obsidian badger]

for tanks

[gloomy vector]

no like basic

[sage portal]

Oh hell nah

[inner sparrow]

basic is fine but u can play fine with inter war

anything above basic is nothing burger

[obsidian badger]

id say if u have the industry to take the temporary efficiency hit than why not

[inner sparrow]

basic chasis is a good research unless youre already producing

[gloomy vector]

also i see people using 1941 for light tank recon

[inner sparrow]

a lot countries start with it

[gloomy vector]

oh ic

[obsidian badger]

in sp its why not to researched advanced chassis

if u want to u can cause the ai isnt gonna put up a fight honestly

and by 1942 1943 what else are you really researching anyways besides air

[inner sparrow]

navy

🥵

[gloomy vector]

isnt 1938 cheaper tho

[inner sparrow]

light recon ic doesnt really matter

esp bc u have a gear that reduces the cost and the difference in ic is minimal

[obsidian badger]

why use light recon honestly

[gloomy vector]

break ig

[obsidian badger]

im not creating a production line of light tanks for a support company

[obsidian badger]

flame tanks then?

[gloomy vector]

stack more

[inner sparrow]

both?

[versed rose]

light tank recon is 24 tanks, if 0.2 per tank is a big difference, there's a larger problem at play lmao

[inner sparrow]

if u can both is good

[obsidian badger]

then just use a battalion instead

[versed rose]

recon got omegabuffed in ncns

[inner sparrow]

?????

XD

[versed rose]

not having tank recon in attacking divs is griefing

[obsidian badger]

i checked

having a single med tank space marine gives more break than both supports stacked

and having all 3 only increases by 20

[inner sparrow]

show designs and doctrines

and the template with stats

[obsidian badger]

too much work

also are yall using superior firepower or smthn

to glaze supports that much

[inner sparrow]

yeah bc I can say that ur test just sucks

[inner sparrow]

?

[orchid idol]

what the fuh

somebody help with navy i beg

[obsidian badger]

jutland didnt go favorably i see

[orchid idol]

ja okay but what the fuh

[obsidian badger]

uh

is this like

great war mod

[orchid idol]

yeah

[obsidian badger]

or regular

[orchid idol]

what the hell

[obsidian badger]

yeah ok idk then

[orchid idol]

did they feed the british navy

[obsidian badger]

im just gonna assume that u shouldnt spam battleships and go more screens?

seeing as britain has 113 dds

but idk

[austere roost]

efficiency can also be a problem

[obsidian badger]

great war has different stats

[orchid idol]

IM Soorry

but like

[orchid idol]

as you can see here

the greate R*pe of my screens

[graceful linden]

hey um guys when i play TNO mod my entire map is just black and theres no country colours or borders

any fix to that?

[shy schooner]

What did I do wrong

[obsidian badger]

increase occupation law to like martial law

ensure u got enough manpower and guns

get military police and a calvary division to garrison

[gloomy vector]

is it worth researching arty if not doing spgs

[obsidian badger]

if u got a spy agency u can also use that to reduce resistance

[dusky fern]

Why do i lose with 180 soldiers

[shy schooner]

Okay
And
I don’t have MP
If I’m not wrong I need dlc for that
I got 0 dlc

[obsidian badger]

well if u got no mp than thats why

i mean

[dusky fern]

Yo gng

[obsidian badger]

mp as in military police or manpower

[shy schooner]

Military police

[obsidian badger]

ok thats fine

do everything else

[shy schooner]

Okay

[dusky fern]

Anyone know why i lost with 300+ divisions

[shy schooner]

And also
Why sometimes
My army suddently defense
I want all to attack

[obsidian badger]

supply

[graceful linden]

guys is there any fix to the TNO mod because i dont see any colours or borders for countries

[obsidian badger]

dont overstack

[obsidian badger]

ask tno

[dusky fern]

How can i fix that i tried making as much as factorys

[graceful linden]

wym ask tno wheere

[obsidian badger]

u need to increase supply hubs and railroads

not factories

[dusky fern]

Well how

[obsidian badger]

also even with great supply u cant really stack more than 8 divs per tile

[obsidian badger]

you got no step back?

[obsidian badger]

tno discord

[graceful linden]

oh okay thanks

[dusky fern]

What

[obsidian badger]

no step back dlc

[dusky fern]

I play kaiserreich

I got dlcs yea

I got em all

[obsidian badger]

go to supply map mode

[dusky fern]

Ye

[obsidian badger]

and look at areas on ur frontline with red/purple

look at nearby railroads and increase their level

up to 5

[dusky fern]

By clicking?

[obsidian badger]

there should be a small number when on the construction screen

u also might need to build more supply hubs

idk how expensive they are in kaiser but in vanilla they are very expensive

ur better off retreating to supply rich territory

and focus on max 5 divisions per tile

no more than 3 in supply poor regions

[dusky fern]

Im in a new game do i make supply hubs in my fronts?

[obsidian badger]

really depends on the supply situation

if its purple then yeah ig

[dusky fern]

Its all blue

[obsidian badger]

then it should be fine

[dusky fern]

Its like 1 supply hub

[obsidian badger]

should depends on the shade of blue

best to send screenshot

[gilded plover]

Please dont bypass the filter

[obsidian badger]

maybe increase railroads to the one in lorraine but that looks fine

i see ur already doing that

then should be alright

[obsidian badger]

btw u see that number like 1/20 and stuff

that represents the number of divisions that hub can support

u can go over by like 5 but not much more

[dusky fern]

Thanks sky

U are helpfull

@obsidian badger i have another question usually when i need resources im not able to trade how to fix?

[obsidian badger]

what r u making

generally no way to fix

u have to alter your production

if u have some native resources then research extraction and get more infrastructure

but u have to just stop producing some stuff

if its resources like rubber or chro or tung then u might be able to do conversion strat on planes and tanks

[tired moon]

How do I destroy and remove britain

[obsidian badger]

fix all your divisions attritionning in france holy

[amber heath]

would there be any problem with having brazil annex all of central and south america to reduce lag late game

[shy schooner]

How to gain more man power

[lunar notch]

i have a spg division, what is the ideal combat width?

[fair hare]

36/38

[lunar notch]

thank you

[obtuse anchor]

Why is shit allowed and not other words

[spring locust]

Do y'all know if there is a way to do the "Assuming direct control" achievment fast since the new updates with faction ? Tbh i have no idea how i could do it without fully depending on rng

Ping me if u can pls

[zinc adder]

I genuinely dont understand why im losing here, germany literally has to cross a whole ass sea, while i got level 6 forts on my side, granted they got air superiority, but theres no way it can wreck my entire army

[cosmic rain]

If you hover your mouse over the stat numbers you can see why you're struggling. You appear to be doing a naval invasion with low supply using tanks (which are horrible at naval invasions).

Oh wait

[sand ember]

i don't think he is germany

[cosmic rain]

You're defending

[zinc adder]

im not attacking btw, im the one defending aka the yellow flag

[sand ember]

Are you actually losing?

[spring locust]

Wait u got 24 div on the same tile 😭

[zinc adder]

yeah

badly

[cosmic rain]

Are they using CAS?

[zinc adder]

where else can i park my army, im on fun bro😭

[zinc adder]

ye

[cosmic rain]

That's probably why

[sand ember]

post a screenshot of the battle on the map

[zinc adder]

not a fun day for me

[spring locust]

U are naval invading right ? If yes just send strong divisions, don't spam or else, u won't have any supplie

[cosmic rain]

You're winning

OH

[zinc adder]

IM NOT

[cosmic rain]

Wrong tile

[sand ember]

22 divisions with no supply if you mean here

[torpid ice]

how to i remove teathers?

[sand ember]

no supply means bad

[zinc adder]

if you also check you might see i got pushed into that place

[cosmic rain]

Ohh in denmark?? They have no supply and they're under red air getting CAS bombed 😭

[spring locust]

How did u get his encircled

Atp just try to build a port

[zinc adder]

THIS WAS THE AFTER

[cold bloom]

Didnt see any button for that but you can just reassign the regions

[zinc adder]

hold on let me actually paint a picture gimme a sec

right on odense

level 6 forts

had 100% supply

[spring locust]

Yes ?

[zinc adder]

i somehow lost it

[cosmic rain]

Go to the combat log in the top right and hover over the battle and tell us how much damage german CAS inflicted

[zinc adder]

perchance 19 damage

[shy schooner]

Can anyone give Me video for hoi4 full guide? Or videos of important guides

[spring locust]

They can attack you from 3 different directions with tanks ofc u lost

[zinc adder]

over a water crossing tho

[cosmic rain]

? But you can also defend from 3 directions. Combat width works both ways and this player clearly had the units to fill out the combat width

[spring locust]

He had 24 div and only 4 fighting

[cosmic rain]

Like they killed 19 manpower?

[zinc adder]

idk

hold on

[cosmic rain]

Yes, likely was low reinforce rate if that's the case

[spring locust]

4 div aren't enough to win against tank

[zinc adder]

wheres combat logs btw

[cosmic rain]

Their stats were higher tho

[spring locust]

Even in whater

[zinc adder]

space marines tho

[cosmic rain]

Top right

[spring locust]

Can u send the template ?

[cosmic rain]

It looks like a book

On the theater tab

[zinc adder]

found it

[cosmic rain]

I mean really completely depends. There's nothing intrinsically that strong about tanks, and if you look at the screenshot it seems like the infantry were higher stat

[last arch]

those are way too big for holders

[spring locust]

indeed

U must reduce the combat with$

[last arch]

for one, line artillery is bad and should not be used

[cosmic rain]

Ok nvm what on earth is that template

[spring locust]

Remove the artillery, 4 is too much

[cosmic rain]

36 org with 36 combat width???? 😭 😭

[last arch]

for two, the bigger your divisions are the less they reinforce

[cosmic rain]

That's too big and it doesn't have nearly enough organization

[spring locust]

36 org 😭😭 ofc u loose

[last arch]

30 org isnt bad for tank divs but it def is for infantry

[cosmic rain]

Exactly

[cosmic rain]

Also, under red air

[last arch]

yeah

[spring locust]

Now i understand how he lost

[cosmic rain]

The org damage will feel so much worse

[spring locust]

Btw no correlation, but do y'all know how to do this achievment fast, since the new faction system "cheese" don't work

[cosmic rain]

Yeah your divisions have fine combat stats but their width is too high and their org is way too low. Remove some support companies as well as the artillery and AT line battalions

[last arch]

if you really want to do space marines then go down to 8 inf batallions and 1 tank, get rid of all of the line AA/AT

[cosmic rain]

I doubt you need AT support company

[last arch]

since your fighting red air i would even consider replacing one of your inf batallions with 2 line aa

[cosmic rain]

Line AA has some applicable scenarios but definitely not line arty or line AT

[zinc adder]

i feel like im surrounded by a coucil rn

[spring locust]

Guys don't ignore me pls 😭

[zinc adder]

no

[cosmic rain]

I would help but I dont ever play for achievements

[zinc adder]

ill keep yalls advice in mind for next time cuz i high key gave up

[last arch]

depends on the faction

you can see in the rulesets what is required to take over

and you just have to get that

[spring locust]

Wait

U are right

[oblique fjord]

thanksssss, what about the design for spgs?

[spring locust]

i am so dumb

[torpid ice]

the issue is that i can have at max 3 regions

oooh i get what you mean

[spring locust]

In my mind it was like "i need to make sure that i become a major and that the leader capitulate"

[last arch]

i've never gone for that achievement, but i were to do it i would probably play axis hungary/romania take enough land and hold until germany is pushed far enough that you can take over

[spring locust]

Yh i was thinking about that

[spring locust]

i want to do it bc it looks so ugly like that

[fathom thistle]

3 man turret/howitzer/radio/ that module that cuts the cost idk the name/small canon

[cosmic rain]

Easy maintenance, unlocked by researching maintenance company 2

[fathom thistle]

That

[keen hemlock]

what is the meta heavy fighters design for the USA

[fathom thistle]

Tune the engine to how much speed you want

[cosmic rain]

And is that medium SPG?

[fathom thistle]

Tune armor if you want additional breakthrough

[fathom thistle]

Yeah

And also stick to 38 hull

[cosmic rain]

Trvke

[fathom thistle]

The later ones are not worth it

[cosmic rain]

They just boost armour and speed right

The hulls

And reliability

[fathom thistle]

Yeah, don't need that

[cosmic rain]

Kinda depends though right

If you're fighting harsh terrain you might care a little

And how about for forming encirclements

[fathom thistle]

If you are not like a bum and don't push with tanks through mountains then reliability doesn't matter

[cosmic rain]

Yeah

That's generally true I think

Plus easy maintenance boosts reliability a little

[atomic gust]

hello all

can anyone help me learn to play

i am looking to invade france

[oblique fjord]

thanks a lot

[oblique fjord]

for the spgs shall i use the medium,light or heavy one?

[fathom thistle]

Med

[shy schooner]

Why sometime My army stop attacking

Even when it’s winning the battle

[oblique fjord]

okok thankss

[fathom thistle]

Are you battleplaning?

[shy schooner]

Yeah

[fathom thistle]

Change agreesivnes

[shy schooner]

To more aggresive?

Or less

[fathom thistle]

If you want them to attack more

What do you think

Just be careful they might overstretch

[shy schooner]

Should be more
But like
I alr used max aggresiveness for all

[fathom thistle]

Send ss if u can

[shy schooner]

Sorry but I can’t
I alr turned off pc
Got tired of losing and armies won’t do My micros

[fathom thistle]

Did you turn it on field marshal?

Or just one general

[shy schooner]

Field marshal

[fathom thistle]

Did you do it before adding other armies? If you did it while having for example 2 armies and then you added other armies you need to it again

For all armies to have that same stance

[shy schooner]

Owh
I see
But the ones that don’t have that effect should be only the new ones
All of My armies won’t follow My micros

[fathom thistle]

Don't follow as in?

[shy schooner]

I select Them then right click to an enemy to attack
Few seconds later
They go back to previous position on defending mode

[fathom thistle]

Well if they deorg the manual order stops

You need to do it again

[shy schooner]

Deorg?

[fathom thistle]

The green bar

In div

[shy schooner]

Well uhh
I keep doing again and again
Maybe cuz the org is bad?

[manic valve]

Hey, what is the best motorized and tank division template for Italy in 1937 in vanilla? Cuz I have the feeling that the templates which already exist are not that good

[fathom thistle]

Probably your div is just too weak to break through

[shy schooner]

Ah
I see

[fathom thistle]

Try to attack from multiple directions

[shy schooner]

Tried that
But They keep back to precious position and defend

[fathom thistle]

Too weak still then

[shy schooner]

I see

Maybe cuz My templates were bad
I thought I can play USSR and just spam armies lol

[fathom thistle]

Idk what div u used so I can't judge on that

[shy schooner]

Mostly cavalry

[fathom thistle]

Welp there is your answer

[shy schooner]

I recuit train around 20 divisions of Them at once lol

[shy schooner]

I see

[fathom thistle]

There are some templates in pins

You can use it for base

[atomic gust]

yeah just air me no worries

[shy schooner]

Oki
Gonna try Them

[median night]

When is the best time to start recruiting troops as Italy?

[median bloom]

As Spain, should you training exercise your entire army before the civil war starts?

[red mesa]

None. Italy has crap tanks and good special forces. If you must, then the standard 36w med spgs and mech

[red mesa]

As soon as you have surplus equipment to do so

[manic valve]

So i shouldnt get the mobile doctrine and go motorized?

[red mesa]

Lord no.

Motorised is just expensive fuel consuming inf

Grand Battleplan doctrine is better than Mobile

[median bloom]

Bumping my question: As Spain, should you exercise your entire army before the civil war starts?

[red mesa]

What for?

[median bloom]

For the civil war I guess? Just can't tell how it works, do your units get deleted at the start of the civil war and replaced with new ones?

[red mesa]

You keep a fraction and get new ones spawned in as well iirc. The veterancy won’t make much difference due to the state modifier. The xp might be useful

[last arch]

your army gets split between you and the other side and you get a bunch of small divisions

[median bloom]

No real downside then right?

[red mesa]

I guess

[shy schooner]

Is it a bad idea to declare war at 1936

Cuz
I do that with USSR

[obtuse anchor]

Depends

What war exactly

The turkish-soviet war?

[shy schooner]

War agains’t turk

Yeahhh

That

How did You know

[obtuse anchor]

Well you do gain 2 good puppet states

Because there is no way you cant win it

[shy schooner]

I see

[obtuse anchor]

Romania and turkey are both very good place d'arms for further expansion

And defending them wouldnt be as hard because of their mountains

[shy schooner]

Not really
I lost Turkey Socialist on war agains’t france + a random middle east country 🙏🏻

[obtuse anchor]

Thats why you shouldnt use the call allies when declraing war

[shy schooner]

Owhhh
So that’s My mistake
I always call allies

And My allies are very weak

Only 1 country help and only 1 div

[obtuse anchor]

Just call the puppets that you need manually through the war menu

[shy schooner]

Okay

[modern hinge]

im asking something a guy asked in 2025 is there a command to add thermonculears into the supply with a command i coudlnt find anything on the internet..

[pearl valley]

Yo

What do lands to I need for the eternal empire achievement?

[mellow pelican]

Why cant my 8 year old laptop play hoi4 on max graphics

[obtuse anchor]

Thats like asking why a potato cant run roblox

Anyways, what are your specs @mellow pelican

[mellow pelican]

Idk its a hand me down laptop

[obtuse anchor]

Just go to hoi4 wiki for that

[obtuse anchor]

Press ctrl+shift+esc

And show CPU, Memory and GPU

[mellow pelican]

Is this good

Also it says GPU is 0% (29 C)

[obtuse anchor]

Click on the cpu and show what cpu it is

[mellow pelican]

Like speed or what

Oh

Nevermind

[mellow pelican]

This

[obtuse anchor]

Yeah youre cooked my guy

[gloomy vector]

i remember casey had a 50w medium tank template w mp in pins at some point

might be good for late game? idk tho

[uncut narwhal]

yea thats like the most optimal

but 1 cav battalion ususally works fine

[gloomy vector]

where would u get army xp for that tho

historical timeline

very close to irl ve day

[rain scaffold]

Any idea why the ships arent repairing? None of the dockyards or naval bases are damaged

[last arch]

they are most likely on orders to not repair

go into the task force and check the repair setting, sometimes when manually giving orders the game changes it automatically

[vagrant cosmos]

Hello fellas, saw this on a reddit post claiming this was on historical. Any way to check what's the Norway's AI weight for choosing this?

[keen hemlock]

you could check the files

decisons files

[vagrant cosmos]

Uh not sure what to look for

Can't seem to find files on decisions

[keen hemlock]

its somewhere in there

theres a page on it on the wiki

[vagrant cosmos]

I'll keep looking, the Wiki's entry for Norweigan events is empty and SOV doesn't have anything

Found it, trying to find the event now

the devs do stuff liek that

they also put notes in there of why they did thibgs

How to get more tungsten without trade?

[atomic crag]

Is there a wayor a mod to release puppets on command? I puppeted japan after the war as US but want to release them and the Philippines when the global war ends

[light knoll]

do you care about them keeping their current army

because you could just use command to annex them then release as non puppet

actually

just tag switch to them

use command to add autonomy

then use command to give pp

and set yourself free

Is it worth making howitzer 1 spgs or fighter 1s for early war in sp

Or do I just make more inf

Specifically denying sudetenland as france

[boreal ferry]

would this work or should i remove recon rangers?

[versed rose]

why not support arty, you have slot open, might as well use support arty since its very cost efficient. Also signals are better than MP for defensive purposes, hard to get reinforce rate post-ncns

[boreal ferry]

mp is for recovery rate

[shy schooner]

How to increase special forced cap?

[boreal ferry]

convert 2w into 40w with no equipment

[shy schooner]

w?

[boreal ferry]

width

[shy schooner]

Okay

[boreal ferry]

yeah but i could try signals

[versed rose]

i know its for recovery rate, im saying that 10% recovery rate is less relevant than scaling initiative

[boreal ferry]

i am just doing a test run but i do think signals would go good

[shy schooner]

How to gain more tungsten?

Me need for panzers

In general what's the strongest build for minors

[subtle socket]

mass mob

bricks

[boreal ferry]

mass mob bad

[left mica]

spf brick

[boreal ferry]

do superior fire power large infantry tactics desperate defenese or grand assault

[subtle socket]

mass mob is no longer a doctrine its called mass assault

mass mob reffers to what used to be

aka large unit tactics

felt like that was pretty self explinatory

[boreal ferry]

not really i've never seen a single soul call it that

[subtle socket]

well

ur on 1 hoi4 server

and its this one

so im assuming u dont play mp

[boreal ferry]

because i left all the other ones i was in

and that was before the doctrine changes so yeah checks out

[subtle socket]

uve never heard someone call large unit tactics infantry spam "mass mob" rly?

[boreal ferry]

no not really

[subtle socket]

https://tenor.com/view/where-are-you-where-you-been-under-a-rock-living-under-a-rock-verwers-gif-15417326

Only bricks or some roach inf to hold where not pushing

[boreal ferry]

you're right i should spend my entire life on hoi4

[subtle socket]

correct

[subtle socket]

yeah

roach inf hold brick push

tbh in sp even as minor u should attempt to build quality planes

whoever has green air wins the army is fairly arbitrary

atleast in any vanilla mod

[gloomy vector]

Should you build sf bricks

Or just inf

[left mica]

Grand assault

[boreal ferry]

i'd do desperate defense if it didnt require a defensive war

[gloomy vector]

Depends on manpower situation im guessing?

[left mica]

The humble 70 air attack div

[gloomy vector]

Probably wouldn't need for Raj or smth

[boreal ferry]

i mean if you're somehow in a defensive war and dont already have grand assault might as well

me personally i straight up just removed the defensive war thing

[subtle socket]

i mean in mp it wont matter rly

[trail bane]

Hello, tried new CZ DLC. Love it pretty much but found bit issue. With spirit for capturing equipment, i have cluttered inventory with tons and tons for rifles and other stuff. Is there way to disable capturing foreign equipment? Or button to mass delete ALL at once obsolete and foreign one? If its in the game im kinda noob and didnt find it.

[cold bloom]

No, but you can dump it on the market if you have the AAT DLC

[shy schooner]

How to get more elite force cap

Or special force

[gloomy vector]

Convert 2w to 50w with equipment turned off

[shy schooner]

I forgot the name

[shy schooner]

Uhhh
How to do that?

[red mesa]

bigger army, the cap is based on your deployed manpower

[gloomy vector]

Make a division with one infantry

Make another one with as much infantry as possible

[shy schooner]

Owhhh
I see

Army in field thing

[gloomy vector]

Go to equipment tab and turn off equipment for big division

Swap small division to big division until your special forces are deployed

Then switch back to save manpower

[shy schooner]

Okay

Thankie

[gloomy vector]

Why's large unit tactics better than assault infantry for minors

Is mass mob stronger than sf in sp?

[pearl valley]

Has anybody an advice on how to proceed with invading the American islands in the pacific as Japan for the the sun never sets achievement?

[oblique dragon]

should i use light or heavy machine guns for my fighters and should i use bomb locks or bomb bay for my CAS

[red mesa]

HMG for fighters

bomb locks for CAS

[fathom thistle]

Not better

But it works for different reason than assault infantry

HP stack

More hp with in smaller with bcs of reduced combat width

You would probably want to use it while using tanks

Assault infantry is like for pure inf builds

[gloomy vector]

Would individual excellence still be better for tanks most of the time

[gloomy vector]

So i should go assault inf for minors?

[fathom thistle]

Both work but yeah I would rather use IE with tank build

[fathom thistle]

Yea. It has like 100 more soft attack compared to Large units tactics

If you do infantry brick

[gloomy vector]

Is it worth building air as soviets or is 75% air accidents too crippling

[frozen gorge]

any advice? Cant kick NEA from faction, rules of the faction... cant delete the faction for the same rules. Cant puppet them again. Locked into being friend forever. So no achievement "its all coming together". Restart of does someone have a tip?

[rain shore]

what is a good flame support company tank?

[gloomy vector]

Does it lock you out from changing faction rules

[gloomy vector]

Breakthrough maxing

[red mesa]

typically no. Not until later if at all

[rain shore]

i mean template?

[frozen gorge]

two options are: kick a country that caused more than 0% world tension, which it didnt. Other option is other idealigy

[gloomy vector]

Use what you have for break, 3 man turret, best flamethrower

[frozen gorge]

maybe i can switch to fascism to kick them hm

[gloomy vector]

Stabilizer if u have it, armor skirts if u have it

Otherwise extra ammo

And the suspension that gives breakthrough

Radio too

[frozen gorge]

this is not going to work at this point ugh

[gloomy vector]

Can you release communist china

If you declared on them they might still have the focus to go to war with warlords

Then you can kill them after they kill nea

[frozen gorge]

1947 though. And releasing with remain cores does nothing, the other option is i give them all my land :p

[gloomy vector]

Oh right

Forgot abt that

They should make china core with free decision after they control the territory to prevent bs

[frozen gorge]

already happy someone is willing to help

ye theres some overlooked things here, as im playing now i see more and more

but the experience was cool; but grrr

[gloomy vector]

Would really suck to restart such a long game

But yeah china run is still fun

[gloomy vector]

I have another idea but it might take awhile

Delete ur army and factories so they can take over

And leave the faction

[frozen gorge]

meh ill replay. but it already happend 4 times now. 1 country refuses to become puppet and then you cant get them out/conquer them anymore

so then restart is the only option. CAnt change to fascism anymore i think, maybe when the popup for referendum triggers, gbut will take long time

[gloomy vector]

Rng achievements r so stupid

Not even challenging just annoying

[frozen gorge]

well other route is just to conquer everyone, but daddy japan is so strong, so i need that alliance at the start

[barren umbra]

Why japan has a spy from israel?

[frozen gorge]

name?

[trail bane]

i Do have most of them.(exept chose music and cosmetic ones) But i believe they should add that option to UI.

Delete all obsolete equipment.
Delete all captured equipment.
Turn off capturing equipment.

Playing long games when i dont have shortage of most stuff would be much easier and i think less demmanding to run.
With focus that gives 30% capture chance and scavenger to random generals. That really made stopkpile baloon with 100 150 series of 12 rifles or so.
If that could be passed up as "idea / suggestion" would be great.

[red mesa]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ignaz_Trebitsch-Lincoln

tl;dr - jewish hungarian bloke converted the buddhism and pretended to be the dalai lama

why he's a spy for japan is the real question

[barren umbra]

Ty for info now i will look for it

[glacial steeple]

yeah different weapon (subtypes) of different nations is like half the hoi lag

[glacial steeple]

still lags the game out bro

well, not as much, but when you open the market it will

[umbral lintel]

why didn't I get a puppet on spain???

I didn't even seize their gold reserves...

[cobalt fjord]

what should i do here 🥀🥀

[indigo sapphire]

how many tank divs should i recruit

[dusty sandal]

that's why you didn't get them
you might still get them later on if they do the focus for it

[dusty sandal]

as many as you can and need

[dusty sandal]

restart and guard your border properly on the next attempt
also don't keep attacking if all bubbles are red

[cobalt fjord]

alright

[light knoll]

he worked for Japan

at some point

read the article

[ruby urchin]

why isnt my tank working? im France

[zinc adder]

okay, i spun it around, better divisions, better placing, ABSOLUTE air dominance and SOMEHOW this guy with a trash mustache keeps beating me

[oblique fjord]

i use a similar template and have problems with supply, maybe that's the issue?

[ruby urchin]

no it isnt

[oblique fjord]

oh, anyway you should change the recon company with motorized recon

[left mica]

it will turn green soon

i think

hover your mouse over your 880ish number and read the tooltip?

and yeah replace mot recon with light tank recon and flame tank

[light knoll]

motorized recon is useless

[left mica]

its not trash there simply are far better options

(if you have nsb)

[zinc adder]

if the previous games are to be believed, ill be pushed back

[oblique fjord]

yeah you're right but is cheaper

[left mica]

unfortunate

[zinc adder]

yeah

[left mica]

not sure what happened

[zinc adder]

i mean they keep wearing me down, my troops genuienly cant recover while they just keep attacking

[ornate gale]

Any idea why theachievment isn't popping?

[fathom thistle]

You sure you are not missing something?

[ornate gale]

Yeah I literally releases kurdistan and had all the cores

I don't have cores anywhere else

I need to be democratic maybe?

[fathom thistle]

No you have the first check

Focus on the x one

Hmm

[ornate gale]

kurdistan has no other cores

[fathom thistle]

Might sound obvious but did you turn iron mode on?

[ornate gale]

yep

[fathom thistle]

Oh wait. The territory with resistance is Kurd right?

[ornate gale]

yeah

[fathom thistle]

It's not cored

[ornate gale]

wait no

mb

it doesn't have resistance

I found this in the wiki

but I don't have graveyard of empires enables

[fathom thistle]

Nvm it's dlc locked then lol

As some other achievements

[fathom thistle]

Ik it's dumb

[ornate gale]

so Ig the old methods no longer work

[fathom thistle]

Asfaik no

[sick ginkgo]

what is difference between heavy attack and light attack on ship?

[haughty vortex]

what's the best branch for marines?

[inner sparrow]

right side

[fathom thistle]

light attacks schreens heavy atttacks capitals

in a very simple explanation

[glacial steeple]

left first

[inner sparrow]

nah right right

[glacial steeple]

for marine, take left, swap to right

mpre buff

more*

[inner sparrow]

nah right right

[fathom thistle]

doesnt meant each doesnt work opposite way, its about priority

and effectivness

[sick ginkgo]

Torpedos attack both capitals and screens right?

[fathom thistle]

if the enemy schreening efficiency is at 100% then can only try to attack schreens

[sick ginkgo]

and can heavy attack in that case attack screens?

[misty wagon]

i got so many puppets democratic germany is so op

[fathom thistle]

although its really hard for torpedos to hit schreens

[fathom thistle]

if there is 100% schreening?

[sick ginkgo]

yes

[fathom thistle]

unlikely

cuz evasion

[sick ginkgo]

i just cant get myself to build capital ships

[fathom thistle]

wdym?

[sick ginkgo]

You can only put 5 dockyards on capital ships right?

[fathom thistle]

ye

[sick ginkgo]

i really dont like it so i build torpedo dds with cls

[fathom thistle]

you dont need like dozen of them

[sick ginkgo]

and you tell me to build battlecruisers instead of cls in that case

[fathom thistle]

you can do dd's cl combo if you want, if you are worried abot pure torpedo build you dont need to have all slots filled with torpedos, you only need like 2 in design and rest would be dual purpose batteries

that takes care of lack of light attack

[sick ginkgo]

and what about

[fathom thistle]

so once their schreens are broken those 2 torpedos will finish the rest

[sick ginkgo]

dds battlecruisers combo?

whyd it do better if it is bad against screens?

[fathom thistle]

you mean like heavy cruisers?

[sick ginkgo]

yeah

[fathom thistle]

you would only really build them to schreen your carriers

otherwise its not neccessary

you can max out your cl's with light attack and your dd's with torpedos, it's more about ic cost efficiency

[sick ginkgo]

And if I have 0 carriers

Cls are better?

[fathom thistle]

sure, if you are not minmaxing ic cost you can combine cl's and dd's

[modern hinge]

does really no one know :<

[misty wagon]

how can i stop this?

[fathom thistle]

lease them convoys

[misty wagon]

what?

[fathom thistle]

you dont know whats lease?

[misty wagon]

like send equopement

[fathom thistle]

yes

[misty wagon]

what would sending equipment to spain do

[fathom thistle]

convoys are the most efficient way

[fathom thistle]

not to spain bruh to your puppets

[misty wagon]

yea yea i see thank u a lot

[fathom thistle]

since they are your puppet yes

[misty wagon]

i sent them like 100 but it didnt budge

[fathom thistle]

it takes time to send them

[misty wagon]

oh alr

[hollow plinth]

hoi4 = racism

[static turret]

No youre wrong hoi4=racism4

[hollow plinth]

still racis

[misty wagon]

i kinda messed up it looks ugly

[static turret]

Bro turned france into africa

Also dammm poland is huge

[misty wagon]

ofc cuz game gave it like a 30% participation when it did nothinG

[static turret]

This is why you need player lead peace conference

I refuse to play witouth it

[static turret]

What was your goal in this playteough did you even do anything aside from france😭

[misty wagon]

i have a lot of puppets

[static turret]

Oh alr then

Stilk for 1945 it feels little

[misty wagon]

what do i even do now

[misty wagon]

what do i even do now

[static turret]

Start a new game?

İdk I hate playing past 1945

[misty wagon]

nice

[jade tulip]

uh why nothing appears on the construction menu when Im trying to build something

bugged?

edit: yep it was a bug, had to reload the game

[rigid halo]

Another method to fix it during the game is to queue your construction menue with buildings until its "filled up" the construction menu

Then just delete the unwanted buildings again

[rustic sparrow]

Bruh

wtf can I do

They’re 99% about to cap

But they stacked everything

31 divs in new castle

Ffs

[fathom thistle]

look at your divisions

carefully

[rustic sparrow]

Yeah wait

Lowk think I had fuel issues

[rustic sparrow]

What about them

[rustic sparrow]

Managed to cap them

Yeah

It was my fuel lmao

🤣🤣🤣

I forgot to stop my navy

[fathom thistle]

the problem is not that they are stacking their divs but that you are doing the same thing while taking atrittion and gettinf deorged bcs supply cant handle that

[fathom thistle]

oh nice

[rustic sparrow]

mm

[rustic sparrow]

So uh

How do I prevent that

In future runs

[fathom thistle]

dont put too many divs in single tile

or work on your supply lines

you can check via supply menu

that really small cargo crate icon

on the right bottom panel

[rustic sparrow]

Ah got it

Lmao

I just thot about rushing everyone in

🤣

I did it the last time

Ig I shld have built more supply hubs

[fathom thistle]

usually motorizing your supply hubs should suffice

+upgrading railroads

but even then stacking whole army in on tile is not the best idea

[rustic sparrow]

Oh yeah

Thanks man

I think I forgot to motorise them

Ffs

[dusky heart]

Is there any way i am able to expand further? China is a puppet of Japan, just like manchukuo. Mongolia is in a faction with USSR and yunkan, just like guangxi clique is garanteed by british burma, which, if i attack guangxi, turn into a domino effect against the UK.

[dusty sandal]

reconquer china
you aren't supposed to let china die to japan btw, makes your job harder

[dusky heart]

I was busy with the other nations i took over and my army was underdeveloped

i don´t think i will be able to fight japan

with only 22 divs

[dusty sandal]

well that's your objective anyway

[trail lava]

make more divs

[wind canyon]

reconquor china and prep paratroopers to jump to the home islands i suppose

[trail lava]

in ncns you can just use the navy you already have and naval invade because japan doesn't defend their home islands for some reason

[wind canyon]

ah really?

fair enough ig love hoi4 ai

[trail lava]

yeah, they'll try defend one sea zone but if you then draw another naval invasion somewhere else they just don't try defend anymore

[wind canyon]

dam

[trail lava]

the ai is a bit broken

[tawdry lava]

uuhh

should i get rid of this stuff

[trail lava]

just let them finish, you probably won't be using your dockyards at the start of the game anyway

[tawdry lava]

thaaaaaaaaaaaaankkk youu

[trail lava]

and they don't take too long to complete because they're already partially done

[trail lava]

np
