red bubble = you're losing
green bubble = you're winning
yellow bubble = a stalemate (you're about to start losing or winning)

This is calculated on organisation only. You should know that the bubbles aren't always right but, unless you have divs with very high stats, they generally won't lie

[frozen loom]

I'm going to say in this french so you get the idea

il passe rapidement du rouge au vert, mec, ce n'est pas statique

[dusty sandal]

I know what you mean

doesn't change the meaning, really

still means you're winning/losing or about to win/lose

[frozen loom]

So what do i do if i'm winning and losing at the same time

[dusty sandal]

look at the numbers first, color is there when you're zoomed out mainly

[dusty sandal]

when you attack and get locked into a stalemate you're basically losing

[frozen loom]

So how do i win the stalemate

[dusty sandal]

figure out what's wrong
click on the bubble, read the tooltip

compare the stats

[frozen loom]

Okay the wrong is my troops are dying

How do i fix that exactly

Per se

[vital geode]

If your orange bars are low, the solution is to stop attacking and wait for it to replenish

[frozen loom]

Where is the orange bar

How do i even stop attacking

[vital geode]

Select troops and press H

[frozen loom]

Why is this game so complicated

[vital geode]

also turn off your battleplan

[frozen loom]

Wheres that

[vital geode]

You turned it on, right?

Click it again to turn it off

[frozen loom]

What

Where even is it for me to be able to turn it on

What

[last arch]

hoi4 offers a very large degree of unit customization and precise movement when compared to other strategy games

that being said, once you learn how to use units properly its not nearly so hard

[austere roost]

Try to follow bittersteel's Germany guide for your first playthrough

[frozen loom]

But i want to win against ethiopia first

[bleak wedge]

Yo,in the achivement battle royale I have to start a war with china and japan before 1940 and capitulate anytime both of them or i need to do all before 1940?

[dusty sandal]

it's weirdly made
you need to kill both japan and china before jan 1st 1940
basically impossible without cheesy strats afaik

[austere roost]

That's easy? Just move all mountaineers and inf to Ethiopia draw two lines and push and send all cas there to support the army

Doing that before the emperor flees is a challenge but beating Ethiopia is not hard

[frozen loom]

How do i know which ones are mountainers

What is a cas

[bleak wedge]

😢 😢 😢

[austere roost]

I mean it is very obvious what is a mountaineer if you look at the unit icon

Cas is close air support

Tacs or tactical bombers can do that too

[frozen loom]

I did that but i lost

[austere roost]

Then please post your screenshots

Maybe you should start over with what you learned, because you might have screwed up so badly it takes half a year to fix the situation

[frozen loom]

Maybe Not

[austere roost]

How can we tell if you don't show us the frontline?

[glacial steeple]

you dont

you just need to be main war participator/leader in them no?

so like, play ahist lol

or just get 2 peacedeals

[last arch]

you just need to cap them

the 1940 limit also isn't for capping them, its for deccing on them

so you basically have until 1940 to consolidate as much of china as possible before you have to dec on both china and japan

no limit on capping them

if im readin that correctly at leat

[strong rampart]

as USSR, is it better to build medium or heavfy tanks?? thank you, asking for MP game against my friends

[keen hemlock]

mp is heavy tanks iirc

[last arch]

heavy TD's are the meta

you also have the chromium and steel to make them

[strong rampart]

im not sure they will have lto of tanks, should i make some heavy TDs and some heavy SPGs or? lsat time ive went for medium tanks because i was used to them and the debuff to breakthrough on SPG seemed too rough ( they wont be playing germany probably)

[last arch]

try getting intel on them beforehand

you said they're not playing germany?

[strong rampart]

we play in 3 so last time they played 2 weaker nations against me together - czechoslovakia(1 friend will probably play it again) and romania(this one is gonna play smth else) - weve waited until 44 so ive steamrolled them, but this time we will fight around 42 probably. There is small change he is gonna be germany but i dont think so, because I was told i can conquer poland

I just never played heavy tanks I think so im not sure, but its true that medium divisions get penned so easily

[austere roost]

you don't need spgs in mp since the main problem is tanks. Ofc the other side might just do 36w infantry bricks so you'll might need to improvise

[last arch]

just keep an eye on their production tab

if you dont see any tanks in production by like feb 38 they're either not making tanks or have a weak build

and just adapt accordingly

[strong rampart]

and are spgs even worth it? the first time I just went medium tanks with best medium cannons I could and the soft attack was pretty satisfactory, but I am not experienced in the game much and in stats so ... I have no point of reference.. but my medium mech div had same soft attack as my infantry ( approx 35w with 4 line inf)

[last arch]

SPGs use howitzers not medium cannons

[strong rampart]

yes ive meant that I used medium tanks and it was also good, I didnt use SPGs

[last arch]

never use line arty

[last arch]

plain mediums aren't great

[strong rampart]

and im not sure if SPGs would be that much better with the lower breaktgrough

[austere roost]

spgs are great in vanilla ai sp

[last arch]

medium SPG's have 1100-1300 soft attack by war start

[austere roost]

also before you're concerned about breakthrough please answer what does breakthrough do

[last arch]

they have more than enough breakthrough for infantry and they cant click tanks anyways so it doesnt matter

[strong rampart]

Ive read many times its bad but ive wanted some good old Ivan attack wave and it worked pretty well but again, it might have not done a difference if I used smth else

[last arch]

ivan wave is great but just do it without arty

what matters most is you adapting to whatever they build

if you notice they have nothing on air you can go air and crush them

if they have nothing on tanks then you can do air + meatwall and probably crush them

[strong rampart]

they were heavily on the deffense, also tried to have good air but since it was 44 war I had like 12k fighters so their paradrops didnt phase me

so ive thought line arty would be good to push through them with the high soft attack

[last arch]

you said they're playing romania and czechoslovakia?

[austere roost]

just go to the link in pins about what line art sucks

[strong rampart]

they were, next one is gonna be czechoslovakia + someone, they wanted to keep it a secret :d and not finland, thats good

[austere roost]

thing about vanilla ai is that it so incompetent, even armored cars can win

[last arch]

if the second one isnt a major then it doesnt matter

you'll steamroll them no matter what

[strong rampart]

might be also sweden that unifies north when I think of it

[last arch]

unless they do like unified south america and united scand/austria-hungary then they wont stand a chance

[strong rampart]

he wanted smth with more manpower than romania, also they are both better players but I got the basics down

[strong rampart]

united south america is my favorite, they wotn do that haha

they wotn play commies

[last arch]

k well then there's not much that can really contest you w/o germany

[strong rampart]

but ye the czechoslovakia always goes for Austri hungary

so the second one might do sweden into north, that would might be equal

[last arch]

still just put spies in both of them, watch their production and see what they build

adapt your build based off of that

[strong rampart]

and is building just versatile heavy tanks good? with just best heavy gun im gonna have? or should I always specialise into TD or SPG

[austere roost]

Specialize

[last arch]

specialize

[austere roost]

You get buffs from two subdoctrines and less numbers required in a battalion

[strong rampart]

and how worse is the versatile one approximately if you can tell? if i wanted to lets say some historical tanks for RP reasons like KV-1 for heavies or T-34 for meds

[strong rampart]

oh thats right I forgot about the lesser number required

that is good indeed

[last arch]

they wont be able to fight their TDs at all

unless you outnumber them

[austere roost]

You'll get torched in MP but in SP anything goes

[last arch]

hes playing mp

[strong rampart]

I mean I dont think czechoslovakia can even afford tanks even as austria hungary so probably SPGs its gonna be anyways

and could I also ask, why lot of people in vdeios say t hat reliability doenst matter? lets say in tanks/TD/spgs

[austere roost]

cuz you only suffer attrition when you're putting tanks in situations where they shouldn't be at like high attrition areas

so reliability doesn't matter as long as you're not sabotaging yourself

also you can definitely produce spgs as minors

[strong rampart]

oh I love to do that sometimes so ill try to keep reliability in check

[austere roost]

hungary was the most famous spg nation before ncns made spgs meta in s

then you shouldn't do that

[sand ember]

if you train your tanks you should also have decent reliability

[strong rampart]

Every game I do it less and less so that is good, sometimes I just cant control everything in time as USSR, its too big nation for me but atleast it forgives soem mistakes so

[last arch]

going air is also probably pretty strong especially if they dont rush air tech

CAS is ridiculous rn

[strong rampart]

oh im doing that also, so thx for tip

[austere roost]

there are ways to get fully trained tanks without actually training them

[strong rampart]

Im gonna go air nevertheless, im gonna outproduce them with 1940 fighters anyways I htink, would you go for Light CAS even without MIO? (since i cant add mio into light as as USSR)

[last arch]

wdym light cas

[austere roost]

it's not hard to not put tanks in low supply areas

[last arch]

just regular cas instead of tacs?

[austere roost]

you just don't put them there

[strong rampart]

CAS with small airframe

[austere roost]

that's cas

med airframe is called tac

[last arch]

yeah that IS cas

[strong rampart]

oh ive never build anything else

[austere roost]

and you can add light mio to cas

unless you modded the game

[strong rampart]

but I had the button grey as USSR.. ye we play with R56

that migt be it :/

[austere roost]

what does light mio look like in rt56?

[strong rampart]

Does reliability affect also support divs? like flame tanks and recons tanks?

[last arch]

i believe reliability is independent of each equipment

[strong rampart]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BukSzJ4TrwM im watching this video and the low reliability is just so shocking so I was wondering if something doesnt suffer from it

but since its for SP maybe thats why the reliability is so low

[strong rampart]

ill start up the game and hsow you

[austere roost]

reliability doesn't matter in mp more since you have to micro more in mp

in sp you just build 120 spg divs as ussr and just push immediately on barb

[strong rampart]

So when I make CAS and try to add MIO, it shows grey like here, light mio is on second screen

its only for fighters unfortunately according to that left side panel

Ive thought that IL-2 were CAS and not tacs historically but maybe im wrong

[shy schooner]

Kinda scared cuz last time it didn’t went well

I mean
I did invaded Poland
But can’t push through France

[red mesa]

you have done it backwards if you went for france first. Also no fuel and no fighters

[shy schooner]

Okay
Gonna build some silos

[red mesa]

silos improve storage capacity

they don't give more fuel

[shy schooner]

Owh
Gonna trade some facts then

How to check air superiority?

[tepid umbra]

Go into air mode and click on the state

[red mesa]

f3 for air map mode, check colour green/yellow/red

click the region for a breakdown

[tepid umbra]

Also the flag in the top left is rule breaking iirc

[shy schooner]

Oh yrah
Thanks for telling

[shy schooner]

Only see mission efficiency

[tepid umbra]

There's not a specific number

Are your planes actually deployed?

[shy schooner]

Yeah

Lemme show wait

[austere roost]

That's weird since in light mio there is a path for cas planes. Does rt56 give other air mios?

[red mesa]

click it to open this window

[shy schooner]

Okay
Thanks

[tepid umbra]

Did you recently deploy those fighters

[shy schooner]

I do from 1936

[tepid umbra]

If you just made the airwing it takes a bit of time

[tepid umbra]

Holy cas

[shy schooner]

Maybe I need to be at war?

[red mesa]

duh

[shy schooner]

Ah
I see
It’s not like naval invasion

Where I can prepare from long day before

[red mesa]

correct, air is more like a continuous combat, it doesn't have planning like land combat does

[shy schooner]

I see
Thanks

[strong rampart]

Yes, second focus in Air unlocks Range focused MIO, but if I understand it correctly, it buffs only medium planes + "small and carrier" from which i understand it has to be small and carrier at the same time to get the buffs from mio

[austere roost]

range is the best mio unless you have supermarine

because range mio covers the range part which allows you to max out on other stats modules for your planes

[strong rampart]

but this shouldnt work on Small CAS, no? only small and carrier? maybe i could just eat up the higher IC cost and build small carrier CAS for it to work

[austere roost]

cas is a small airframe plane

[strong rampart]

but it says small AND carrier

[austere roost]

yeah and cas is small

[strong rampart]

from my understanding both have to be true at the same time for it to apply

[austere roost]

no it's or in logic

it applies to all small and carrier frames

[strong rampart]

hmm that would be good

so ill have to dip in that focus, okay then

[strong rampart]

thank you for help

[slate nimbus]

holy shit cant this people stop being hacked

anyways what are good tips to uh lower resistence in any given occupied territory?

[austere roost]

using a 1 cav division suffices

[red mesa]

spies on suppress resistance mission, efficient garrison template like min or max width cav, using the better garrison laws you may have access to depending on ideology/nation

[austere roost]

also if that country has an exiled government then its resistance will be >50%

[slate nimbus]

ah i forgot to mention, no dlc

so no spies

what would be a good garrison template?

im as regno del sudd which is unaligned atm

[austere roost]

1 cav

or 25 cav + mp

[slate nimbus]

ah yeah no i am sp, so only 1 cavalry?

[tepid umbra]

.

[austere roost]

the mp is for military police

[tepid umbra]

Pretty sure it's more worth it from 15+ cav

But it costs xp so i'd stick with 1 cav

[austere roost]

you would be on proper heritage to make 15 cav division so 15 cav and 25 cav costs equal amount of xp

[slate nimbus]

oooooooh i see

so uh how many cavalry slots + military police? should i add anything else to that template or no?

alternatively, how do i raise compliance

[tepid umbra]

Compliance is raised over time or with decisions

Different garrison laws change how much it is raised by

[tepid umbra]

If you're using cav and military police, have as much cav as possible

[slate nimbus]

how about this? should i add anything more? (im saving up army exp because rn i cant hire corps)

[austere roost]

you use propert heritage to put 25 cavs

[tepid umbra]

If you dont have army xp

Remove the mp and just do one cav

[slate nimbus]

just one??

[austere roost]

yes

[slate nimbus]

oki doki

[tepid umbra]

Military police is only worth it at 15+ battalions

15 or 8 actually i cant remember

[austere roost]

if you want to learn more just watch reman's guide on resistance and compliance

[tepid umbra]

Pretty sure it's 15 tho

[austere roost]

yeah but you will just do 25 cavs because you're on proper heritage

[slate nimbus]

so literally this?

[tepid umbra]

Yes

[red mesa]

garrisons don't actually fight like normal divisions, their suppression and damage are taken as % of the amount of equipment and manpower needed to garrison a given state, so the single battalion is actually fairly efficient

[slate nimbus]

damn, shouldve known earlier

i was under the impression i needed a sizeable division but i guess not... i appreciate this cheese

[uncut rose]

as the reich how do I resist occupation?

[balmy dawn]

Playing Germany, Jan 1941. I have 137 Civs, but only 29 are working. Are all the rest going to MEFO Bills or something?

[uncut rose]

no wait reduce it

some areas are like 42

[red mesa]

scroll up, this was just discussed

template, laws, spies

[shy schooner]

How to get battery? I didn’t find Them on research

[uncut rose]

do I have to train the garrison troops in the tab?

[red mesa]

no, you can't do that

[uncut rose]

how do I fulfil the requirement?

[red mesa]

set the template and make the required equipment, it will fill automatically as long as you have manpower

[tepid umbra]

Check consumer giods

[tepid umbra]

I'd recommend going to the division trainer and making garrison have higher priority for equipment too

To make sure it's fulfilled

[errant chasm]

<@&846894118219022336>

[shy schooner]

How do I get battery?

[red mesa]

click the circular anchor button on the ship hull and create a design

[shy schooner]

Okay thanks

[slate nimbus]

whats proper heritage? i dont own any dlcs besides whats integrated in the base game

so i really only have access to ship designer

[tepid umbra]

Guns on the ship

[austere roost]

then it's something from nsb's army spirits

[tepid umbra]

It's an army spirit

[austere roost]

just use 1 cav then

[tepid umbra]

Oh are those nsb exclusive

[slate nimbus]

definitely, i still havent bought the important dlcs

[austere roost]

yeah army spirits are nsb

[slate nimbus]

that means i do not own BBA, NSB and uh i forgot the other ones

[tepid umbra]

Thats dumb

[tepid umbra]

Bba, nsb, aat, gott, ncns, lr

[slate nimbus]

btw, building in any territory im occupying can boost compliance or not? cus itd be neat to have those resources lol

[tepid umbra]

The other ones are too mid to name 🥶

[tepid umbra]

Dont believe so

[slate nimbus]

ill note them down fo sho

unless La resistance also gets integrated in the future lol

[tepid umbra]

It defo will

[slate nimbus]

ah i see, such a shame, itd be cool if it did

[austere roost]

it will likely get integrated after this round of dlcs and packs get added

[slate nimbus]

thtas what i was thinking which is why im holding on to my pocket with that one for now

[keen hemlock]

You mean the expansion pack or the next big dlc

[uncut rose]

do the less strict laws actually prevent uprisings?

[keen hemlock]

They increase compliance gain and increase resistance

Which would increase the chance of an uprising

[austere roost]

i think you mean decrease

also uprisings only happen at 90% resistance

you have to do things seriously wrong if you're at 90% resistance

[uncut rose]

im at like 40% across europe, what should I set it to?

[austere roost]

just do 1 cav garrison

[slate nimbus]

should i do civilian oversight with that template?

[austere roost]

on whatever is the best occupation law

[uncut rose]

I dont get what the best is tho 😭

[austere roost]

Civil oversight for dem liberated worker for comm local police force otherwise

[vital geode]

Local police force and call it a day

[uncut rose]

calm thank you

[crystal plaza]

why cant i win battles? i have supply and green air and these are my divisions, researching marines too

[shy schooner]

Uhhh
What did I do wrong here

I alr assign 1 airport

Why it still ask for 1

[errant chasm]

don't use line artillery

[crystal plaza]

why? should i just use 6 infantary and the mountainers without artiller?

[errant chasm]

do 18 infantry for the inf div, 16 mountaineers for the mountaineer division

[crystal plaza]

what about marines? 16 too?

[errant chasm]

something like this

[mortal loom]

I want to conquer the world as USA

[vital geode]

Go for it

War Powers Act path gives you a lot of war goals

[shy schooner]

Why I can’t send Them

[limber vapor]

Am i cooked? I can seem to break through italian lines even when it was like 15 to 1 and its pissing me off

this is what the map looks like

I cant seem to finish off division either even if I encircled them

[keen hemlock]

just cap germany then get mountianeers and cas for italy

[limber vapor]

uhh idk how to do air

[keen hemlock]

#ask-for-help-here message

should be designs below here

[shy schooner]

Is preparing too long to invade Soviet a bad idea
Like
What if I invade UK middle east and Asia first

[keen hemlock]

as germany?

[compact bluff]

Why doesn't my game start?

[limber vapor]

How come it said germany capitulated but I can still see them in their colonys they got from the war

[keen hemlock]

they keep them

all the continuious land from their capital goes to you

[digital musk]

Can you play multiplayer with a friend even though they have dlcs you don’t have

[spiral hearth]

yes

[hoary glen]

Use verify files or reinstall

[compact bluff]

How to access verify files?

I alrd tried reinstalling.

And where do I need to verify em..

[hoary glen]

Then the verify will not help either

[compact bluff]

Will this work?

[hoary glen]

Google where the paradox launcher is stored, and delete those files. Before you do that save the mod playlists if you want to keep them as all of those will be gone after.

[compact bluff]

Oki ty

[hoary glen]

I've never seen that, so no idea

[compact bluff]

Nvm it said it repaired the launcher but didn't

[hoary glen]

Windows helpful as always

[dense flume]

why does Soviet Ai always try to convert to communism?

[lavish steppe]

Guys what is THE BEST infantry division

[hoary glen]

Check the pins

[vital plinth]

Are super heavy artillery better to use than normal support art if I can afford ?

Also if I lose a lot of my ships early in 1939 or 40 should I stop investing in navy or can I still rebuild one up ?

[molten plover]

Depends on the nation

But you can rebuild it in less then a year

[hoary glen]

Stat wise yes, but it limits you to 4 km/h. Tbh it's purely overkill in SP and not really needed.

[tender tartan]

Is it better to put a ffrontline for every general or just use the field marshall. I have this problem where my units go to redeploy to the otherside of the front, from where they go to replace the others which lets the enemy walk in unopposed whilst they are switching places

[opal totem]

how much does distance impact a multiplayer game? I live far away from most people on here

[spring shore]

is it possible to go 4yp AND civil war germany?

[hoary glen]

On fronts where you have multiple generals on the same front use the field Marshal front while holding shift. That makes a plan where the units can freely be placed along the front

[hoary glen]

It's all about ping and how good your PC is.

[tender tartan]

so if i do the front using shit do i have to do anything after that or do they just go to their places

[hoary glen]

If you do the FM order while holding shift they sort themselves and are not bound by their general

[hoary glen]

Try it out 🙂

[tender tartan]

okay good. I lost one of my games where i ffought the soviets as austo-hungaria because the kept making gaps and they just snaked me

[hexed birch]

How do I increase mission efficiency for my supply planes?

[tender tartan]

can i put the frontline across multiple borders

[hoary glen]

If it's continuous and all hostile, yes

[hoary glen]

More range

[hexed birch]

But my airbase is literally on the border, do I have to upgrade my planes for more range?

[lunar notch]

try having a little state anti air

[tranquil holly]

this thing worth for my soviet heavy tanks against germany tanks?

[woven lotus]

it would be better to put a secondary cannon or something for more soft and hard attack

[left mica]

yeah german tanks that dont even exist

[hoary glen]

You need better later tech planes then, yeah

[woven lotus]

nah it’s probably so low because ur airbase has low supply

u can see whats affecting ur efficiency by hovering over the icon on the air wing when uve selected it

[glacial steeple]

no

[kind bloom]

hey guys

what does the uh

commerical nuclear reactor does

[glacial steeple]

its good

state buffs+nuclear production

[kind bloom]

oh nice

but uh

i've been having problems with coal stuff

not enough energy

does it help w that

[glacial steeple]

yes

per state

[vital plinth]

Hey what’s the big interest with doing achievements, never seen much games where achievements was a big thing very curious about this 😅

[tranquil holly]

is that good design for mp?

[glacial steeple]

:( no

dont do welded armor, thats 20% cost

dont do sloped armor, change it to TD

use your secondary turret slots for small cannons or ig hmg if your enemy is soft

design with OKMO

this MIO is only good to produce with

[tranquil holly]

1 guy said this company give you most production output bonus if you wanna mass produce

[dusty sandal]

it does, but you assign it as production MIO, not as the tank designer

[sick ginkgo]

Should I build carriers if I want to beat UK navy with no my ships drowned?

[tranquil holly]

ah

[sick ginkgo]

Or how can I do no my ships drowned sea lion

[tranquil holly]

what is td

[dusty sandal]

tank destroyer

[tranquil holly]

isnt that armor too low? like just inf template with at can reach 120 pierce

[dusty sandal]

you'll get pierced whatever you do

the armor is there for the breakthrough it gives

even with 200 armor on your tanks, it would be brought down to around 80-90 because of the mech and motorized AA in the template

[tranquil holly]

hmm then whats the point of producing heavies isnt medium td are better? it is cheap

[dusty sandal]

heavies can get heavy canon 3 without having to lose 50% breakthrough by using a casemate and heavies can use 4 small canons instead of 2

you only use 3 canons on the heavies except for france that has MIO traits that make having 4 canons better than having a radio (the MIO buffs the breakthrough)

[indigo sapphire]

how good are Medium or heavy tanks

[dusty sandal]

mediums are for SPGs and flame tanks in MP
some strats exist with a wall of medium TDs though, it packs less punch but allows to have 3x the amount of tanks

[indigo sapphire]

alr

[dusty sandal]

gotta go now, will answer later if you ping me

[indigo sapphire]

alr

[mystic willow]

what should i do

[thin nebula]

Which country? I assune france?

Also looks like democratic or communism choice

[mystic willow]

yep

france top one communisme

[thin nebula]

Id say communism but im a big fan of the 500 manpower a week

Democratic really dont do it for me

[mystic willow]

whoops

[thin nebula]

Democratic is good though because you can take germany and italy and form the EU and core them

Also any other lands you get in europe

Very strong

[mystic willow]

i get stuck in 1939

the further i could go was when urss took germany and me

i have a strategie i don't tanks at all and planes at 1938 but like full planes

[thin nebula]

You can do that you'll need rubber though

And good fighters

You dont want germany or italy having planes

[mystic willow]

yea i figure out

should i keep this and add support

[thin nebula]

If you dont plan on using tanks make it bigger

More stats that way

Also adding aa support would be good

[mystic willow]

i tried in a other game the fuel and logi don't folow

[thin nebula]

When i play france i usually make a small amount of heavy tank divs, like say 5-8 and use those to push while infantry holds the line

But you'll want your infantry to have stats by being like 36w

[fathom thistle]

are you doing defense build?

[mystic willow]

i use this for d

amphi tank is worth it ?

[thin nebula]

Not to be rude but that division is like a wet paper towel

[fathom thistle]

too small, the previous was fine, i was just asking bcss of engineers, if you are not doing pure defense playthrough then you dont need them in 18w infantry template

[thin nebula]

Amphi tanks are awesome but they take special forces slots

[fathom thistle]

you can have them if you want just not worth really ic wise

[mystic willow]

should i delete the div ?

or switch the template

[fathom thistle]

the small one?

yes

not enough stats

[mystic willow]

alr

[glacial steeple]

my navy build

[thin nebula]

Trinidad game?

[glacial steeple]

no that was fine, i havent played in a month tho so idk how to navy

[thin nebula]

Oh ive been playing around with less carriers in my builds

Heavy guns on the beta actually do stuff and i love it

[glacial steeple]

do tell me about it

[elfin nebula]

Add anti tank support

[thin nebula]

Ive been doing battlecruisers with gun 3 and they shred other battleships

Like in the first battle i won against japan in my current game one battlecruiser killed 4 battleships and a carrier

Because the hit number (idr which exact one) went from 80 to 70 makes them easier to hit stuff

[glacial steeple]

GUN 3?????

i know france gets like gun 2 but 3 is excessive

[elfin nebula]

No it does not

[mystic willow]

why ?

[thin nebula]

Yeah its like 59 days of research

[thin nebula]

Takes special forces slots

[glacial steeple]

SIXTY DAYS?

oh my days

[thin nebula]

With 2 research slots too :)

Gotta defend my island casey

[mystic willow]

ok

[unreal sapphire]

Should I go with Blum or Laval for Little Entente

[elfin nebula]

Just use entrenchment metod for defence

[glacial steeple]

vendrip island

[mystic willow]

could you explain what it is

[elfin nebula]

Oh are you newbie?
I cant really do it
My explains sucks

[unreal sapphire]

Guys should I go as offensive or defensive France for Big Entente

[mystic willow]

i have 40 hour of try and trying again

[elfin nebula]

I prefer defence metod

[mystic willow]

but no tuto att all

[unreal sapphire]

Blum or Laval

[elfin nebula]

Huh?

[unreal sapphire]

Two French Democratic leaders

They do different things

[elfin nebula]

Well you are a newbie

[elfin nebula]

Tell what they do explain me

[unreal sapphire]

I'll take a screenshot

[elfin nebula]

Fine

[unreal sapphire]

Blum is Popular Front, Laval is National Bloc

[unreal sapphire]

Which one is good for Big Entente

[elfin nebula]

Aha!!!! I perfer do the communism path and start civil war against the facists

[crisp ledge]

Is line artillery any good? I'm playing Manchukuo, and I'd like to know how to best adjust the Imperial Guardsmen.

[elfin nebula]

In this path you can find a great national sprit

[elfin nebula]

Show me

[elfin nebula]

Let me see

[crisp ledge]

Afraid I can't at the moment.

[crystal plaza]

how do i make this better (playing as canada for the allies)

[old epoch]

When game price down? Id like to buy the game

[fathom thistle]

summer sale late june ig

[elfin nebula]

Dude🤨😐

[crystal plaza]

😰

[elfin nebula]

Dude!!!!

[crystal plaza]

What am i supposed to do

[elfin nebula]

What do you want to do with it??

[crystal plaza]

breakthroughs

[elfin nebula]

I hope

[fathom thistle]

its kinda impressive how bad it is, there are templates in pins of this channel

[crystal plaza]

🥹

what should i change because i have the equipment to do so 😔

[fathom thistle]

like delete the whole template

rocket arty sucks

use mechanized with tanks

[glacial steeple]

the thinking is great

the execution isnt

[crystal plaza]

well im very new so obviously i suck a lot

[elfin nebula]

Yes yes assign jamal as the commander well

[fathom thistle]

jamal would probably say hell nah if he had to lead that division

[crystal plaza]

what sort of tanks should i use? heavy? and how should i arrange them into the division 😞

[mystic willow]

what do yall think

[fathom thistle]

smthing like this, for last slot either use logistic company or aa if you dont have air

meds for normal game

[elfin nebula]

You are right🤣

[fathom thistle]

tommykai ahh template

[elfin nebula]

Weak

[fathom thistle]

how does it have such a low soft attack with 4 lines 😭

arty 1?

[red mesa]

tech probably

[fathom thistle]

yeah

[mystic willow]

what should i change fot the arty line

[red mesa]

well, you're playing as france, so you're highly constrained on manpower and military factories, making big expensive infantry isn't a good idea. You need a large number of basic line-holding infantry and a small number of bigger attack divisions ideally using tanks/special forces.

the starting infantry for france is ok if you add support AA

[elfin nebula]

Heavy is good but we should know what kind of tech do you have

[mystic willow]

25 width is ok ?

[fathom thistle]

waste of ic for sp

mediums are way to go

[red mesa]

16 or 18 for defence. So just inf battalions

[elfin nebula]

I hope

[crystal plaza]

i was following a video and thats how i ended up with rockey artillery 😞 i only have light tanks and i just started making heavies

[elfin nebula]

Yeah continue the heavy produce but in temples dont use heavy tanks too much

[crystal plaza]

also i cant add any battalions to this line, the game says i need to fill specific conditions

[woven lotus]

need to do ur doctrine mastery

[dusty sandal]

just move them there instead

[crystal plaza]

im just gonna restart a new game, whats a country thats fairly easy for someone really new to pickup. so far ive only been good at playing peru

[dusty sandal]

do not play crappy countries
play on historical, without justifying wars on anything (if you don't have a focus that makes you go to war with someone, you don't go to war.) and while yourself following historical routes only until you know how to handle your own in the game
play usa (easiest) or canada (harder but still easy), germany (you're at risk but you have insane buffs, just READ what focuses do and what they open on), Soviets are good too since no navy to worry about, but it'll require you to read focuses carefully too, a guide may be required

[glacial steeple]

peru is fire but not super easy

play whatever you enjoy and ask for help with that

you can ping me if its some odd nation in sp and you need advice on it ive played most things

[crystal plaza]

its kind of fun because you dont have much threats around but i do want to play a country that actually does something in europe or maybe asia

[versed rose]

Germany is great for trying stuff because of how sandboxy its economy is, but not very good for actually learning how to play because of how strong it is. i.e harder to point out why/how you're losing

[glacial steeple]

you should form peru bolivia and gran columbia as peru

both

then you have eco and people to do stuff

[crystal plaza]

already done that :D

[glacial steeple]

how fast

:3

[crystal plaza]

uh i dont remember, it did take a while though

[glacial steeple]

which nation did you get stuck at?

[crystal plaza]

i believe Columbia, couldn't get past the mountains. my next playthrough i made mountaineers and it was a lot easier

[glacial steeple]

ah ok

you dont need to wait

one min

eating

ok so

theyre actually really weak

because even tho their army is sizeable at the start, theyre all really bad

its just that the terrain is mostly good for defense

your best bet is to put up your airforce on the ecuador airfield, it will help, and try to push alongside the coast, while pinning the frontline down

[crystal plaza]

yeah mountains suck

[glacial steeple]

really all you need is like artillery since you dont have 1939 guns

so youre gonna want support arty on your infantry at least

thats affordable

only make mils

ofc

until youve formed all

usually i like doing gran columbia into peru bolivia, which is harder but the colour is nicer

do you want it to be easier or do you care about colour

cuz it will change who you justify on

[crystal plaza]

interesting, i asked someone about this today and they said not to use that

[glacial steeple]

yeah you shouldnt

but you have trash guns

well for the unification wars anyway

[red mesa]

Hi Casey

[glacial steeple]

helloo

[sick ginkgo]

Hey

How to build navy that doesn’t lose a single battle?

Like I don’t like seeing my drowned ships

maybe just a few

[spring shore]

research bonuses dont stack right?

[mystic willow]

yo guys why did my france was deleted

[sick ginkgo]

wait what a carrier plane should look like

[errant bear]

heyyy I need help please D :

[twin tangle]

hi

[twin tangle]

like the "100% bonus for x equipment" you get from focuses and such?

they dont

[spring shore]

ye

[spring shore]

oh ok

thx anyways

[prisma hill]

why do me and my friend have different versions

[errant bear]

I managed to beat the game as Italy but Japan attacked us in the middle of the game for some reason. we managed to beat them and usa then but now I'm playing as germany and I wanna avoid that happening again. anyone know why they went on a war with us and how to avoid it?

[prisma hill]

he has 4342 and i have 41a0

[twin tangle]

japan usually attacks you if you have holdings in the pacific or southeast asia

havent played in a while so i might be wrong

[glacial steeple]

https://tenor.com/view/fox-spin-minecraft-speach-bubble-gif-12120065873966570174

[errant bear]

oh. well I did have all of the british colonies at that time so that might be why. but now that I'm playing as germany, I managed to beat UK and annexed them all. If I don't annex then Italy would. is there any way to just give them the land they want or not annex those lands to begin with?

[twin tangle]

i dont think there is a way to avoid it unless you release all those countries after annexing them

its more convenient to just kill japan

after you're done with the allies

paratroopers are an easy way to do it

[errant bear]

I'm not really confident to fight the american navy on my own without them lol. kinda want them on my side. how can I release those countries and also, what countries do they want?

[twin tangle]

you can release them from the occupied territories tab

idk about what countries exactly

but just to be safe anything in asia

tho you'd miss out on a lot of ressources

[errant bear]

oh ok. thought that was only for puppets

[twin tangle]

just uncheck the "release as puppet" for them to be their own thing

[errant bear]

well I did beat the british in 1940 so idk if I really need all of that. I have enough oil and everything

[sick ginkgo]

Does anyone have a good carrier design?

[twin tangle]

you can probably kill the usa just with a ton of planes

which requires a ton of rubber

[errant bear]

oh so if Japan attacks a puppet of mine it won't trigger a war between us?

[twin tangle]

and guess where there is a ton of rubber

[twin tangle]

it will

i said uncheck not check

you dont want puppets

[errant bear]

they're annexed currently. would that still work?

[twin tangle]

idk just have good range and put as many plane slots as possible or whatever they're called

[twin tangle]

they'll still attack you

they'll attack anyone holding those territories

[errant bear]

the british colonies in asia xd that one country had like 200 rubber meanwhile I'm low 45 on them xd

[twin tangle]

mostly indochina or dutch east indies

or malaysia and phillipines

[twin tangle]

thats why i said its easier to kill japan

[barren sequoia]

im actually gonna tweak somebody plz help me i cant seem to build a good army and win a war from 1936 as germany in singleplayer

[twin tangle]

for now focus on killing soviets

then use them to paradrop into japan

[barren sequoia]

if somebody can tell me what im doing wrong plz do so, im willing to answer any other needed questions

[twin tangle]

what happened 😭

why are you fighting hungary in 1945 bro 💔

[errant bear]

no I know. that's what happened in my Italy game. I had those colonies annexed but they attacked me. I mena like, would uncheckign the release as puppet thing work?

[twin tangle]

and poland still exists

[barren sequoia]

i tried going a bit slower to see if that would help but it didnt 😭

[twin tangle]

battleplanning mindlessly like that wont do anything

[twin tangle]

yes

[errant bear]

why do you have 2000 pp xdd

[twin tangle]

instead focus on making good tanks to go for concentrated pushes

and have good air

[errant bear]

ohh okay thanks a lot

[twin tangle]

half your divisions have no guns in them or anything

because you keep bashing their line mindlessly

[barren sequoia]

i think i made some good tanks i can send u it hold on

[barren sequoia]

what should i do

[twin tangle]

even then most your tank divisions dont have tanks in them

[twin tangle]

@barren sequoia

[twin tangle]

this

and have good air

[twin tangle]

and push in easy terrain

[twin tangle]

not bad i guess but

[fair hare]

mediocre

[twin tangle]

its 1945

[barren sequoia]

i sent sooooo mnay planes im ngl

[twin tangle]

and the support companies stink

[barren sequoia]

??

[fair hare]

make it bigger

[barren sequoia]

how do i fix that

[twin tangle]

yeah go 36w

[fair hare]

add 2 mot and 1 tank

or 1 mot and 2 tank

[twin tangle]

in the pinned messages there are templates

support companies are super important

[errant bear]

you could always go with space marines too. they worked so well for me

[twin tangle]

this will carry for the whole game

[barren sequoia]

what abt early game

like 1939

[fair hare]

also send tank design

[fair hare]

this for 1939

[twin tangle]

you can still get this

at 1939

even with mech

but for you just stick with motorized for now

until you get mech later

[fair hare]

u are not using this

[twin tangle]

oh a modern tank

thats not

yeah

[fair hare]

also u need to soft attack maxxxxx

[dusty sandal]

that's awful

[barren sequoia]

whats the 2nd slot for support companies

[fair hare]

mediums and modern tanks are 2 diff battallions

[twin tangle]

flammpanzer

[fair hare]

so in ur medium template u are not using any modern tanks

[twin tangle]

you get it from special project research

[barren sequoia]

sorry i just heard breakthrough is good 😭

[dusty sandal]

that's what you want

[twin tangle]

land warfare facility

[twin tangle]

or do this ig lol

[dusty sandal]

even though it is, your tank has more than enough base breakthrough

[fair hare]

not in single player

[barren sequoia]

o i thought i was'

[dusty sandal]

30-50 is what you want per tank in singleplayer

know what the stats do and you'll be able to do good designs

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dcp1ooD_YqY

[twin tangle]

this works too

[barren sequoia]

so more soft attack right?

[twin tangle]

new pin

tuff

[dusty sandal]

we just keep sending it so I thought it'd be appropriate

[barren sequoia]

what about my infantry template

[fair hare]

lol

[twin tangle]

e

[fair hare]

w pin

[barren sequoia]

what should i have for the support companies

[fair hare]

pretty good

[dusty sandal]

this is good but if you remove the engineers you save up 20% cost

[errant bear]

hey um, where's the uncheck release as puppet thing xd?

[twin tangle]

click on release

a box will show up

might be a dlc thing u dont have idk

[dusty sandal]

collab governements ?

[errant bear]

in conference room?

[twin tangle]

people were calling me crazy for saying dont use engineers on 9/0s

[errant bear]

I have them all

[twin tangle]

no not on the peace deal

[barren sequoia]

should i add anything else

[twin tangle]

after you annex

go to occupied territories

its where you see resistance and stuff

[twin tangle]

just releasing normally

[glacial steeple]

i think ive been saying it the longest out of anyone smh

at least from this chat

[errant bear]

ohhh okay I know where you're talking bout. thanks

[fair hare]

if u wanna change something remove the shovel support company cuz as stated above it removes like 20% of the division cost

[red mesa]

Happy to admit I play non-optimally on this one. I love my shovel boys

[barren sequoia]

also what should my ratio be for armies

like infantry to tank divisions

[twin tangle]

depends on how many tanks you can produce

just focus on tank production and air mostly

[red mesa]

Yeah it really varies

[twin tangle]

infantry exists to just stand there

and do nothing

maybe pin sometimes

[red mesa]

Could be 20:1 or 1:1 or entirely one or the other

[glacial steeple]

i play hoi4 to be a silly goof and theres no goofing to be done rn

[barren sequoia]

alright

[subtle socket]

engineer on a 9/0 is like building a trench for 5 dudes against 10000x and expecting it to hold

[twin tangle]

ive been getting back to hoi recently and the new doctrines dont seem very different

[barren sequoia]

also is it bad if i just do frontline and offensive line to take their land instead of trying other stuff like spearhead or doing it manually myself.

[twin tangle]

same for the naval stuff

[red mesa]

I play it for the emotional rollercoaster of disaster saves

[twin tangle]

just some extra things

[glacial steeple]

well ive used those, theres just nothing silly i can focus on

[twin tangle]

best to do it manually

but still have an order

for planning

[subtle socket]

getting them is different u can basically be all 4 doctrines at once and the stats are like 4x higher

[twin tangle]

just dont activate it

[glacial steeple]

disaster saves usually just fill me with a big feeling of why :(

[barren sequoia]

alright

thank you guys

[twin tangle]

occasionally they used to be fun

[glacial steeple]

its why im here so the people can tell me their thought processes

[twin tangle]

also try your best to not attack with infantry

[barren sequoia]

alright

[twin tangle]

oh and follow historical dates lol

poland being alive in 1945 is insane

[barren sequoia]

the allies ended up taking the soviet union

[austere roost]

You can definitely attack with infantry

[twin tangle]

lol thats kinda funny

[austere roost]

Just don't attack with 18w all the time

[glacial steeple]

no

[twin tangle]

doesnt mean you should

[glacial steeple]

ive tried in jap vs china and if you use non offensive units you genuinely take like 10-100x more losses

and thats inf vs inf sob

[twin tangle]

unless you wanna have a 40k gun deficit

and casualties in millions

[austere roost]

36w infantry bricks are for offense

[twin tangle]

theres a difference

[woven lotus]

why would u use infantry for attacking

when special forces exist

[twin tangle]

if you're poor like china for example

and have tons of mp to spare

[meager sonnet]

Cant pump out 100 of them now can we

[austere roost]

You can actually

[meager sonnet]

HOW

[twin tangle]

make a million 2w divisions

[austere roost]

Just spam 2w infantry and then turn them to 50w infantry

[twin tangle]

convert to 50w

[glacial steeple]

better if you dont for yourself but you can

[robust wind]

Why cant i toggle my dlcs?

[glacial steeple]

they made it part of playset

[robust wind]

Where?

[glacial steeple]

in the launcher

go to playset on sidebar and scroll down

[indigo sapphire]

how many tank armored divs should i recruit

[glacial steeple]

well then its just dlc button afaik

[robust wind]

No toggle feature

[twin tangle]

👋

[glacial steeple]

odd

[twin tangle]

as many as u can

[indigo sapphire]

alr

[glacial steeple]

you might need to make a playset for it now

idk

[twin tangle]

make a playset for it to appear

[robust wind]

How do i do that?

[indigo sapphire]

how good are modern/mbt tanks

[twin tangle]

where it says

"no mods"

[austere roost]

Moderns are the worst chassis

[twin tangle]

under play

[twin tangle]

bad

u can still make them for fun

[robust wind]

Okay what next?

[indigo sapphire]

alr

[twin tangle]

click on the no mods

[barren sequoia]

can someone explain what the consumer goods factor is rlly and its relation to Mefo bills

[twin tangle]

then add a new playset

[twin tangle]

consumer goods factor affects how many of ur civs are used for consumer goods

[austere roost]

It's a percentage buff/debuff to your consumer goods

[robust wind]

Oh i think i got it

Thanks guys

[twin tangle]

mefo bills raise that as time goes

thats why u wanna invade people

and follow historical dates

[indigo sapphire]

if i were to play like USSR or germany how many infantry rifle divs should i recruit

or as usa

[barren sequoia]

what can i do to lower it

[twin tangle]

there are price control decisions

but the best way

is to invade people

[barren sequoia]

also is it a good idea to cancel them

[twin tangle]

and steal their gold

[twin tangle]

no

if you dont want mefo bills go the other economic path

dont cancel them

[barren sequoia]

alright

[austere roost]

If you can build 48 of them in vanilla ai then you don't need inf divisions anymore

[indigo sapphire]

alr

[barren sequoia]

dispersed or concentrated industry

[austere roost]

Concentrated

If you want a newbie friendly Germany guide follow bittersteel's

[barren sequoia]

alr

[indigo sapphire]

how many ships should i build As germany

[twin tangle]

just spam submarines

if u want an actual navy

make light cruisers

[indigo sapphire]

alr

sure

[barren sequoia]

whats the 3rd slot for support

[twin tangle]

paratrooper light tank

ngl i forgot what its good for 💀

havent played in months

but im pretty sure its from spec ops doctrine

[barren sequoia]

alright

[twin tangle]

if im not wrong the recon light tank gives 10% hard attack which is good for pvp

while this one gives terrain bonuses i think?

or breakthrough

[austere roost]

Use spgs instead of tanks in sp and TDs in mp

[austere roost]

Tank Recon does more with subdoctrines

[twin tangle]

subdoctrines

havent played with that yet

[austere roost]

Like signal companies were a meme until they were given 10% hard attack buff in TD subdoctrine

What? How have you not used subdoctrines

[twin tangle]

havent played in some time

[barren sequoia]

????

whats spgs ands tds

[austere roost]

Self propelled artillery and tank destroyer

[barren sequoia]

alr

[fair hare]

38w is so meta

[austere roost]

honestly i wouldn't add the breakthrough modules and most heavy mg modules but newbies can't stop asking why

[fair hare]

u mean to the light tanks orr?

and the flame tanks?

[austere roost]

Yes

[fair hare]

makes sense

[austere roost]

And I don't add heavy mgs on spgs until I can build 120 of those divisions

[fair hare]

i guess against ai that makes sense

[somber cedar]

i have a problem with an achievement habsburgs habsburgs everywhere. I am playing as Poland and i have Karl Albrecht I as a king and i am in a faction with Otto von Habsburg from austria-hungary. no mods, ironman mode, i checked and i can get achievements, is there a way to repair it?

okay i think i know whats wrong i jave to wait for austria to become austria hungary

[subtle socket]

in mp u do spg and td as germany u grind both mios and double stack on the td for production

[sage portal]

Hey why cant i refit enemy captured ships

?

[barren sequoia]

supply is bad and this guy isnt even doing anything 😭

[sage portal]

Make fallback line

[barren sequoia]

im not in war rn

[sage portal]

Ok

[sick ginkgo]

Gang can anyone actually send me a good carrier design

For aircraft carrier

[sage portal]

Sorry never used carries mostly cruiser and destroyers

[barren sequoia]

O WAIT

[sick ginkgo]

Yeah that’s fine

[barren sequoia]

i was training them nvm

[sick ginkgo]

I just want to make them for fun

[sage portal]

Fill ever slot with

Idk what is it called on enligsh

English*

[barren sequoia]

supply for the guys on top isnt good either tho

[sick ginkgo]

For plane storage ?

[sage portal]

Yea

And aa

Leme found vudeo

Video*

[sick ginkgo]

Thank you

[sage portal]

I used to make ships with they were effective

Managed to sunk british navy

[sage portal]

https://youtu.be/i0wgBJbBbPQ?is=OfcLNSQxQYzf_RII

He has carriers i think

Also does anyone lnow why i cant refit captured ships

@sick ginkgo

[sick ginkgo]

Thanks

[sage portal]

You find carrier design?

[sick ginkgo]

Im a bit busy be

[sage portal]

Ok

See ya then

[barren sequoia]

help

supplys bad

[left glacier]

You aren't able to refit captured ships unfortunately. It has been that way since By Blood Alone first released

[left glacier]

Motorize your supply hub

You can also automatically do that with any army group by going to your general. On the top right, there will be a horse button. You can click it to motorize the surrounding supply hubs of that army group

[lunar notch]

stationing many divisions in a single tile will worsen your supply lines

using fallback lines to scatter your units will remove attrition

[tight tangle]

is the international market even worth using

[lunar notch]

if you want to buy overpriced arms

sure

[barren sequoia]

alright

[tight tangle]

damn

though wdym overpriced

i never really pay ttention to the prices

Also its SP, not MP

[lunar notch]

i mean

if you need divisions real quick

or you have massive deficits in the middle of the war

you buy them arms

not that overpriced

but using your own arms is always better ig

[tight tangle]

I often play as China so yeah

[lunar notch]

you automatically use captured equipment too so ig you can buy some too

[tight tangle]

alright

[sage portal]

I think i can do refit but i need to waste even more naval exp gotta check toomrow

Whick if i cant its straight uo stupid

[strong rampart]

what tanks do i build in mp against my frtiends , i am ussr, they ar eczechoslovaki aand (democratic) germany... SPG+TD divs or??

(heavy)

[stoic karma]

alr guys. i’m playing a historical multiplayer run where im playing the UK, my friend (who’s not very good) is playing the USA vs my two other buddies playing japan and Germany.

what’s the play to beat them?

[vital plinth]

Im playing Iran , wondering what is better to do , should I do a 70 and 35 day focus to get 50 more oil and lose a debuff that adds 20% ressouces to market and gives 20% industry resseach speed

Or do a 70 day focus for 2 civs I only very very few civs

I noticed countries don’t trade oil with me or only for 2-3 months then very few trades

Is there something I can do to get countries to trade more with me early

Its 1936 btw *

[strong rampart]

When can I conquer Poland earliest as USSR?? so GB doesnt join them

[elfin nebula]

As a Iranian who just assessed the internet
Just build civs fatc and after that free your resources

[elfin nebula]

Ahhh does he know the navy??

[stoic karma]

i’m very proficient in navy, the usa guy doesn’t know shit about navy complete deadweight, the germany guy is bad with navy but plans to use naval bombers, and the japanese guy is also good with navy.

[elfin nebula]

Then why he picked up United states

[austere roost]

you rush nkvd focus and then justify on poland. You can start the war in August 1936. But it's useless to conquer poland that early, it's much more useful to do the finland trick or early war turkey

[stoic karma]

it’s supposed to nerf me and give everyone else a better chance

[strong rampart]

#hoi4-general message

Also if game allows in the second finland war you can trigger the Sweden event chain

[strong rampart]

wow thats difficult

[elfin nebula]

My pal, tell him learn navy yourself with playing England

[strong rampart]

what if I declare on Finland normally through Justify in like.. 1938? is that okay? or will sweden always join and my economy focuses are locked?

[elfin nebula]

Ban this guy!!!!

[elfin nebula]

I dont think its a good idea

[strong rampart]

why?

or just go poland 1937 maybe and then take finland with all of north later? when i have focuses for 5 year plan done?

[elfin nebula]

Better never

[strong rampart]

why tho?

[elfin nebula]

If you are in historical mode just wait Germany invade you and you should just use entrenchment metod

[strong rampart]

this is my scenario

[elfin nebula]

I perfer use grand battelplan doctorin

[elfin nebula]

Oh now i see

I still dont think invading others is a good idea

[strong rampart]

more land before moscow tho

[elfin nebula]

Huh??

[strong rampart]

bigger buffer zone always good, no?

and getitn lot of doctrine XP from fighting

[shy schooner]

Should I get anti tank? Or skip

[elfin nebula]

No i think best way is just let your army just train

[elfin nebula]

What do you want to do?

[shy schooner]

Conquer the world as Germany
It says anti tank gives more piercing to My panzers
Idk if I should get it

[strong rampart]

ye but i have to take poland neverhteless, so we can even fight later , me against htem 2

[hazy quiver]

is this medium tank good? (for 1937 as Germany with alots of rush)

[fathom thistle]

For sp the piercing you get from AA is enough and it's cheaper

[shy schooner]

Okay

[elfin nebula]

Well

I couldn't answer

[elfin nebula]

Shity internet in iran*

[austere roost]

it's not at all since efinland is a cakewalk

You just need to practice with the landing spots a few times

[austere roost]

Taking Poland early is useless

[austere roost]

No it's bad use this

[strong rampart]

I just dont wanna be at war with Englad

So thats why early

[austere roost]

Germany takes Poland for you

And again polish land by itself is useless cuz there's no industry or resources there

[hazy quiver]

yk i say its an 1937 build to rush tank in ww2 and you show me 1941 tanks

[strong rampart]

no they ar edemocratic in this MP, germany

[austere roost]

Just use 1938 tech then

Also barely anything in my build has 1941 tech in it

[austere roost]

Then keep Poland there then

Unless you want to justify on all SA countries until elit costs too much pp for eng to guarantee

[merry sedge]

is there any other way to core areas, except for focuses?

[dusky heart]

I am currently playing as Hungary and i formed austria hungary, then i made czechoslovakia my dominion, how can i lower their status so i can annex them? Building doesn´t work

[vital plinth]

I get a debuff from Soviet that boost communist ideology a lot daily I can’t keep it low even with desicion is there something I can do to counter it earlier ?

It happens as an event
