you should use howitzer if you're not going against hordes of mechanized units (1946+)
Its kr
Smh
ok I forgot about this template
none
Oh god
Uh oh
IT'S THE BASIC TEMPLATE PLEASE
Idk singleplayer kr is probably more chill than the tourney
I love how the game just ends by 1940
Just bend over for hitler at this point π
Theres no hitler
Theres the kaiser
wait hes playing scheissereich?
Its in the mod name
basically you shoot down your efficiency to trade for better reliability (basically useless), better armor (useless), better speed (depends on your liking) and higher cost (1ic more + resources)
Kaiserreich
see thats what i'm talking bout
I lost
I started as Czechoslovakia and eded up as germany
545 breakthrough πͺπͺπͺπͺπͺ
or did they just break ur fortline
They had 2x my airplanes (with better stats)
They were sherdeing my protections
how does one have that much factories
Go for anti air in divisions next time
I had
where mech, flame tank and hospital/logi ?
also motorised recon is a pure waste, especially since you can do a light tank that's cheap enough and has high stats
Anti air anti tank an 2 more things
idk the motorized was in the preset template
anyways new improved medium tank
anyways..
Will albania succeed? Or will the mussolinic empire prevail?
should I replace motorized with mechanized btw
basically as any minor country you want to sell your airforce at high price day 1
if you're ever gonna build an air force, no planes are better than bad planes
also, support anti tank is pointless in vanilla singleplayer
you just need support anti air and enough divs to cycle through the enemy attacks
just do 9inf, support arty, support AA as checz that you spam out. Build armored trains to prevent logistrike or static AA (won't shoot down CAS in ground battles nor enemy fighters) and hold the line. Once you have 4 divs per tile and you're holding start investing in light tanks
always
and asap
well, if you leave your port open you'll definitely die
whats a good template for infantry division?
9inf, support anti air, support arty
Ill learn in time
mainstream infantry that's cheap
you should probably try out historical hungary, canada or ger/soviet with some guide to run you through the basics
USA is also safe enough, you can make mistakes with little consequences
well, considering you understood the importance of AA this early, you're doing good !
most players ignore it until 50+ hours and even then they often forgor about it consistantly
port strat
Who forgets aa
I need to watch navy guide
they'll invade with full org because naval invasion
Cuz I don't understand anthing
yeah but i let them take a port then kill them guard the rest then just constantly kill them in that one port
If air could be manageable as a begginer navy is like chinese
every new player
and a lot of newish players
Its not important for now
the italian ai cant do much
Important as Germany
you probably won't be able to kill them if they pull off their invasion on the port
Well no
I could sink a ton of equipment???
you underestimate albanias power
because they'll have something like 5-10 divs coming in on it
if in doubt always expect the italians to fail
i am
im using him as my general
because i only have him in the army lol
but yeah good reminder
that's ... not what I meant
i'll recruit a general
i dont understand
9 infantry and support anti air and support arty
9 infantry bataillions + 2 support companies of anti air and artillery
if in doubt always expect the italians to fail
if i got maintenance i'd be eating well
anyone got a good nationalist china video guide
I don't but quick tips :
get guns 1936 asap
get support AA quickly to counter enemy air support
get support arty in your divs to deal some damage
only produce guns, aa and a bit of arty for attack once you can afford it. when everything is stable you can start building trains and trucks for supply and even air if you're confident enough
fight around supply hubs and defend beijing tooth and nail as it is easily defendable
defend ports and keep reserve units to reinforce/counterattack
keep the units size to 12combat width (6 infantry) and place 3 per port as garrison. do not attack until japan is exhausted or when you see a good opportunity and never go too far away from supply lines
BRO
THIS IS SO COOL
IT GIVES ME XP TO CHANGE TO MECHANIZED
uh
why can I not click it
bro why cant I add
mechanized
to my template
what is happenin
nvm it was the army spirit thing
add 2 more tank battalions
brest litovsk?
i was confused cause you said a facist path and a non-aligned path
i thought smth like neurath or reorganise
usa declared war on me
i ali already did
safeguard the eastern front for the kaiser
twice actually
and i don't want to do historical just yet
you know what
i'll do von neurath
ccause ive done the reich never
i thinl ill go
historical on everything else
i was just gonna cancel the mefo bills right off the bat
then i remembered
all of that
so uhhh
i think i'll keep them around for the moment
actually
i am doing
"peaceful" germany
so i can just do economic growth
watch me instantly put it back at partial mob
War Eco π£οΈ
always play fascist or communist so you can conscript the entire country on a whim
trust
Im a demo hater
But think of the people
Ofc ill only play fascist and commie π
the people don't drive panzer Is everywhere now do they
π
why not war eco
That was so random lmao
Same lol
Why not mobilizaΓ§Γ£o total
i don't have the war support
so i just called in the wizards to give me 3 war support
not doable anymore
hi
im pretty sure u do have the war support
u re just a lazy sob
Its kinda bad yeah
germany starts with 47
so?
Or you just need an attache
you need 50 for war eco
Get more
Reorg wehrmacht is enough...
He is on ahist
So?

whopping 93 soft

Anyone who oppose should go to prison π₯
italy is cooked
I am back π
Man i sure love give falkhausen manchukuo citizienship
Guess Who is back π£οΈ back again
would you fight for this mussolinic empire?
mussolini aint even there bro
Mussolini is getting pew pew
Imagine manchukuo lads armed with afghani guns
i love guns market lol
My Mughals armed with the whole world arsenal π
Japan about to see manchu dudes flying over tokyo lol
Germany gave ne the BF 109 license 
Letsgoo
hi
no idea who to play now
demilitarised northern italy
gave germany greater german claims over italy
Thatβs winnable
they aint gonna expect this.
ummmm where are the germans going??????
Obv
to their mothers
that's a pretty unitedr chinese front
away
Qing china true china
Better than Chiang Kai shek fr fr
oof yeah the Japanese army collapsed finally, i think after i push them completly from mainalnd China and Korea i can start preparing to paradrop into Japan itself
"enemy has air superiority" Yeah like thats gonna change your troops from starving and without weapons 
why is this a focus
so what
how does that add a mil fac
they make opium bullets
where if you get shot you get drugged
until clear the slum being a focus, which see multiple appearances

what have the japanese ever done for us
i just sent two volunteers over to do legion condor
they're not doing anything lmao franco is doing fine on his own
50% of far cry 5s story
get shot by drug bullets, get kidnaped

are the allies hardcoded to not help you as poland?
didn't know the allies were that realistic
bravo swedish people
well at least theyre sending me fighters
Germans already took Moscow, the allies are useless. I wish i could like help them, but my army and front are disorganized as it already is
OH NVM
chiang might be overstacking a bit
tanks in china is awful
you won't have fuel half of the time
Is that black ice
thats chiang's problem
i just see free army xp
its '38
gonna build up the military now
how am i doing
we cooking. π₯
how it feels to have schorner and rommel as high command
i have a few questions
what does this mean?
lol
The end of a border war with some gain to the defender, often in Political Power
guys how do I get this flair?
buy hoi4 premium
alr
It's free just by being in this server. You'll have to add the tag from your profile
how is it called?
I mean in settings
found it alr
You have to edit your main profile, scroll down to where it says server tag
thanks

So how do I make like 2 org divisions work if I'm only able to invade from like one tile
you know what
i'll be nice today
the rest of the nazi's laugh in my face
i say
Hmm, my understanding regarding a positive supply flow reduction, as far as I know, is that your division uses less supply the further away they are from a supply hub. The greater the reduction percentage, the less strain it would put on a division's logistics
The what?
chinese liberation war
The reward for winning this border war is 35% doctrine discount and the loser gets 25 army xp. I'm specifically asking what a stalemate gets you
there is no stalemate
u re the defender, japan is the attacker
u either fail or succeed to defend
So a loss gets the stalemate news event?
i cant believe im about to say this but italy locked in for the first time in its life..
it got naval supremacy + air supremacy on its own
i hadnt even put up my planes yet
or navy
and they somehow got into britain
Yes
Playing as the Soviets, with Japan losing the border war, the stalemate news event plays out
And 1M japanese dead
no
im pretty sure the stalemate is mod related
Niki lauda and James Hunt looking at each other be like
does monroe doctrine trigger if u declare on an american country but usa is your puppet?
No? Lol
Its kinda illogical for your puppet to declare on you over some spirit
Technically it should work only with Independent usa
maybe
That's fake
no im serious
Itamy cant be useful
it naval invaded britain π
Impossible
pics or didnt happen
Italy
I think there's an inconsistency here
Maybe Itamy is actually useful
theres a reason its italian territory
they started the invasion
i would never give territory to italy otherwise
i did blitzkrieg scenario cuz i had never done it
maybe thats why italy decided to be useful
idk
Wonder what AI was cooking loo
i do not know how italy became useful bro
its just occupied by them it doesnt determine who gets it in the peace conferrence
yes exactly
but the reason its occupied by them
is cuz italy started the invasion
that was my proof
they asked for proof
Are u Christian? God helped u dawg π₯
@rose siren im gonna shoot you fr fr π 
i am
i guess god helped fr π₯
To the gulag π₯
Blessed β€οΈπ₯
Facts
thats random
Yeyeyeyeyeyeyeyey sureeee
this happened to me once too
Let me cook
I killed another 80k japanese
you pinged me lol...
Why u do those horrendous things dawg?
π
Do love not war
The emote:
?
The emperor ordered me dawg, i gotta
I killed so many that Japan started naval invading with Just 2 divs
Lmao
Japan on budget atp
and their navy?
And they Just declared on the allies for some reason
Phillipines?
Their navy Is still the same lol
Nah Just allies
still strong
damn
Paratroopers:
AI moment
Ig they went for dutch war goals first
L Japan
They were afraid of success
Imam paradroop and kick their asses. I Will make them have a japanese nanjing.
I GOT NAGASAKI
WOOOOOO
They are all in china and Vietnam 
π
Damn
That's awful dawg π
Ashhwtually π€βπΌ
I've never seen it happen tbh
damn you only think about cassidy π
Im thinking about my game too
At this point ill call bro Cassidy
i love steak
Its a joke name because Cassidy had high stats in eu4 and those leaders die young
And she died young in fnaf lore, hence the joke
It's high noon type shit
Because it was my most lucky run
Like the Ottomans were dumb in it
El bistec es muy sabroso, especialmente cuando se sirve con papas fritas.
Pero el churrasco es mejor pa π₯
They declared war on me even though I was allied with Hungary, the pope, Serbia and Albania
Dayum
@rose siren
Intercontinental air forced
Eso es verdad cariΓ±o
ouch look at how bad their supply is lmao
They are hungry
Yeah a lawsuit for criminal level criminal of stupidity
yes heheh
Because the Ottomans were outnumbered 3:1
Yesterday I discovered how goated is 12w for low supply combat
Those guys don't starve and hold the line like real warriors π₯π₯
ottomans are only good in one thing
Meow
Hey
hi
Keeping a multiethnic kingdom
Unlike the Austrians lmao
hahahahahha the romanians just gave up their ONLY supply hub in the area LMAO
Ottomans are powerful at the start of eu4
I get more range from Air Refueling
and that is making coups to make themselves weaker
Damn
like they are the number 1 power at the start
Range greed
that is an exception lmao
Well, Ottomans are one lf the mains countries in EU4
Like France, Spain and England
Its in 1444 the start that is
Also Muscovy
Just one day after the battle of Varna
hahahah rip austria-hungary, i wanted them alive....
Ngl, I really love the borders
Not the ideas behind it tho
a couple of years before the downfall of the best empire....
Is like Germany, u love original borders without any ideologic idea lmao
The start date map or close to it
i loved the borders also and i think it is better to have a bigger country there but with democracy then and everybody equal
indeed but ww2 1936 borders or 1914 borders?
So I can play as Savoy
1914
WW2 is just painful dawg
Yup dont play in the holy roman empire it is a pain
True
I need to do that
It was fun consolidating south Germany under Swabia
rip 1453
Cant remember de formable of Hesse tho
ouch
But Hesse color is also pretty
Prevent what?
The fall of Constantinople
Bruh, that was Byz
Yeah, I realized it now
It's easy to play Byz?
When did you play them last
They have a worse start now
With some very bad estates you have to remove
rip lebronstantinople
Bad army, no bugher loans, +300% ship building speed and trade penalties
Also orthodox rebels
The IJN has been fully repaired and is operational. And i think i just ended this war. One of 2 american pacific fleets have been sunk. This is the second large battle. The old fleet against the US Navy at Hawaii.
Never
π₯π₯π₯
Watch the red-hawk YouTube guide on them
splendid
Ill do it
Muscovy is also peak gaming
And Ajam too
Formed Eransahr as Ajam
Ajam is the goat
Same
And with this battle being over and the americans have lost what naval superiority remained, the Invasion of Alaska, Hawaii and the Panama canal has begun.
Invade Peru
would be very hard lmao
They are heroes
Eh. Peru was split by commie brazil and axis venuzuela. But i got docking rights.
Ig that's good enough
general brofist is still awake π
We will remember them π₯
Yep. Galagos islands is the current naval base of the modernized Japanese Navy. This invasion will with certainty suceed.
I am not at war with the british or the axis. There is only one enemy, and that enemy is about to lose the pacific.
Also: How do we all feel abt 12 Japanese nuclear bombs being ready on the 21st of March 1943?
I say that as i got Nuclear Attack by Sabaton playing.
lets bring them some freedom
Also, my strat bombers can reach from the home islands all the way to paris and the tip of Florida respectively.
yo guys anyone wanna trade bf6 i have hell let loose acc and helldivers 2
Right, i'll free the americans of their life if anything here.
hello yalls i got a No division limit mod for hoi4
What
imagine having 30 divs and u still lose...
Aaaaaand yeah... Modern fleet just caughg the other american battlefleet in the pacific.
skill issue hungary skill issue...
AI when montains be like:
AI when Attacking the mountain tile protected by a river and level 7 forts:
what
yall think hoi4 will ever fix the paratrooping france exploit
not in paris tho lol
i mean taking france in early 1937 is pretty op
Literally how though
It's just abusing game mechanics really
maybe removing the surrender limit thing until world war two happens
I guess but france had a disjointed government before
Dont do it maybe (?
and its not just surrender limit
Maybe if france doesnt want it to happen they can get rid of it by the focus tree or simply garrison paris
show me the map and casualties please
why are you mad im playing as italy rn and i formed the roman empire in 1939 using that exploit im pretty happy but it seems unfair for french players
But im not mad (? πππ
French players arent dumb like an AI
Depends
I mean, you got planes and the uk. If yoou get paradropped, that's kind of just a skissue on the player's part. Or just bad micro.
anyways i found it if i take these cities france surrenders
You just need to take paris and some big ones to make them cap, usually just with the northeast vp it's a gg for France
Brest or Bordeaux are probably better than Metz, considering the 10 fort.
and the fact that its a border tile meaning its always defended
I just noticed: What if you got full collab gov on france? Do they just surrender instantly?
That too.
Wow Republic italy is stronger than i expected
they cap once u get paris and nord pas de calais
drop your grenade in france go to pick it up 1 cm across the border and then you see the floor turns grey
thats what u should usually do
French hear one artillery shell hit the maginot and surrender, pretty much. Hehe.
But actually, does anyone ever do a collab gov on france?
100k
guys im not sure does the plane reach orleans π
Okay...?
I can't see france as a valid target for that ever. Soviets, US, even brits. But not the french.
When the US embraces the inner aggressor that one time.
Whoever does this to french is braindead
Yep.
I only invited the germans to the naval race thingy
They are dead now tho
Every time. I always leave the treaty as Japan immediately.
I dont π¬
Can't personally say i approve, but ye.
I think bro loves France
Me, a german. "Is that so?" Hehe.
Real
BOMB PARIS π£οΈπ₯π₯π₯
New French focus tree when?
Never.
Damn
Allies Focus trees are dead.
Damn
or just remove paratroopers
The napoleonic focus tree is the best one for france
I think
The only good one tbh π
bro really took a picture of his computer
Frenchie's Screenshotter 3000 stopped working
They are so dead infact, they are only around bc they are reanimated.
But monarchist paths are lame
Poland has more monarchist rizz than any other nations
Also: Does everyone here have that kinda resolution/font size?
Not once did i ever have more alerts than 2 lines. And that was only ever bc faction calls to war.
stalin fumbeled the bag
Im playing on a old computer
Because why not
french fascsit paths are pretty decent ngl
ESTONIA-FINLAND LEAGUE?
Me too. But my literal TV that i use as a monitor still runs the game in 1920x1080.
Have yall ever seen a non aligned nation have elections?
Also i use my more modern PC for other stuff
I am actually using some old Samsung TV as monitor.
au revouir Shoshanna!
Imagine having 2 PCs and not one potato PC.
ye
Potato PC's cant even stand HOI2.0
Dude, i got a graphics card from 2014 and a processor from 2012. My CPU burns running HoI4.
Cheap microwave lifehack
Pretty much.
You can cook steak on it
I'm surprised i can even run HoI4 modded.
i have seen communist nations have elections
Eamn
I had this RTX3090 or whatever it was now I dont have it cuz I gave it away to a cousin from Poland
I had like 4 games on it
Somehow it runs TNO even, but it takes like an hour to load in.
Soviets when u do some weird stuff
that would have been some realy weird stuff
Im telling yall MoH4 overcooked my PC
is there anyway u can make a puppet and get compliance on it
That game took so much GB
Eeee
is that a thing or nah
I forgor
Im The Great War Reduxing and i dont know how to how to entrench myself
WHY IS MY AUTOCORRECT DOUBLING WORDA
WORDS*
My fingers are too big i guess
politicalm systems are a complex thing that the game tries to emulate very very simply
press n on your keyboard in the game
way better
you did not take out reactionary pigs to the south
prepare to march all the way to cape
I am currently
make sure to just naval invade dar es salaam for mittelafrika
its their only core
well also namibia i think?
Anarchist Spain is the most fun country to plays as on god
two communist germanies and one democratic germany in flensburg and luxemburg π₯
this is just the first step towards the world revolution.
hi u still here?
i don't even know
I love when this happens
i set the speed to 6 and start jumping up and down
they keep moving around trying to garrison their borders going through my territory so they keep getting stopped
i love capping france in 1937 its sooo op
France not having good supplies in the mountain is massive
Game ender for historical france enjoyers
First thing people usually build to be fair, your main problem is rarely Italy anyway
Sure but germany can go through italy and snake you
Especially considering most of your army will be north
Get Stalieno'd.
True, a lot of people neglect the maginot too, Iβve seen Germany punch trough it multiple time because the France player underestimated the ammount of troops he should have there
Yeah im one of those france players lol
Happens to the best of us
Bro my irl former best friend quoted im conductor of the poop train π
Like alot of the time
This has got to be the most annoying thing ever
Anarchist Spain
But for online Germany I guess
But with friends I play Spain
βFormer best friendβ did he get hit by a train or something ππ
No we both had a falling out
which is better in gΓΆtterdΓ€mmmerung - austria or hungary?
Happens
Soviets are so dead
My first conflict π
Why tf 36 BBs are taking tooo long to produceπ’
Czech Entente π
Lmao
im gonna reck them
Whenever you get the option to select someone new in the inner circle with the decision pop up do you keep the previous bonuses that they gave you before with the completed focuses and get the new ones of the replacement?
Weβve brought back the kaiser
I still have mine in the bag π₯

Which one
cant you do both at the same time?
was den?
Nope, because i cant do civil war and do the achivement to not lose a core, It automatically fails
Just Stalin way
For the thermo i Need the romanov tho

i think that will be the easy one
Omw 
@uncut pollen your message after this one π³

and flowi also said something...
They are conspiring...

the ai doesn't know anything , other than stupid pin , continous reinforce and reinforce memes
this kills the whole fun
doesnt romania qaranty yugo?
Yes
But when i invade i dont cap them fast enough
And they join axis and germany wrecks me
I tried a uhhh bittersteel strat
use paratroopers if you researched them
Where u get both romania and yugo and prepare to fight the soviets
the system of taking factions needs to be rework from zero
no?
Thing is im not good at micro managing
you did and then deleted it
i hate that
sheeps mod!
Just no
the guy did
i am sick of the ai being stupid
