But any tips for my air problem?

[night field]

how do i save this?

[limpid mantle]

im so ready for sheep ai

this crazy template!

this awesome one

[craggy dove]

what am i doing wrong that the battles take so long?

[limpid mantle]

see the attack, defense and breakthrough values?

[craggy dove]

oh

172 defense 🙏

[limpid mantle]

the terrain makes it lower

so it takes longer to destroy organisation

[inland swan]

So someone here saw my 10/0 template and was like "hey, why do you use that? Use 9/0"
I've seen lot of discussions about artillery and not, but why is 9/0 better than 10/0?

[brittle gazelle]

@stark coyote

I am allied with all of europe besides the swiss, and the spanish

and im against the UK & US and rest of world

thats aug 1942 baby

now i gotta figure out how im invading the UK

[lusty river]

haha i was about to buy man the guns for 6 euro but now its 20 euro again :))))))

[rose siren]

good job 🙏

[inland swan]

I'm gonna push Italy through North mountains soon and I currently have 0 mountaneers. I employ 75/120 special forces cap as marines, but the cap will rise a bit and I can disband a few.
What's the best mountaneers template I can make in 1940 (no doctrine yet)?
I expect yellow or red air but I'll be able to kill their navy and have shore bombardment on both coasts. Tanks probly won't help much in mountains so I need to attack well. Italy has nearly 0 armor so it's just soft attack

[inland swan]

How about I make slow-ass soft attack medium tanks and pair them with mountaneers in same template. Will work?

[night field]

also this game is unplayable without dlcs

[craggy dove]

how has mao not capitulated? I took their only victory point

[inland swan]

welcome to Paradox

[inland swan]

they might have some enclave on the map, try to right click them and look around the map for green

[heavy shell]

First time?

[lusty river]

just bought man the guns

[craggy dove]

yup

[heavy shell]

Just capture random tiles until he capitulates

[craggy dove]

thanks!

[inland swan]

Wait you literally see Xinig as their new capital. It probly has a point

[craggy dove]

had to cap 1 more tile

i dont think occupied lands count as victory point

only core

[night field]

im cooked

[foggy egret]

best hungary path? in mp

[limpid mantle]

i feel like mobilising the 4 million reservists because of how threatened i feel

[inland swan]

Draw a battleplan for everyone, set it to careful execution, and don't execute it. That'll stop your divs from trying to attack, they'll entrench instead

[heavy shell]

Germany fumbled so hard

“500 divisions”

[sudden thistle]

[vestal grove]

Switch sides using decisions and focus tree

[crystal needle]

Hey so fun fact, if you play the UK and get advanced airplanes before October 1940, the Indian raf focus just gives you a template with engine 4 and cannon 2.

[night field]

yeah...

[rose siren]

damn

[fallow grove]

Why

I thought the game had every country without DLCs

[night field]

i mean

the tanks are trash

without NSB

does anyone know how to increase the effect of boosting ideology?

[sudden grotto]

You got la resistance dlc?

If not i dont think you can

[gilded vessel]

[sudden grotto]

If you got It there are spies Who got propaganda traits to boost ideology

And there Is a propaganda upgrade too

In the agency tech

[fallow grove]

Wow that’s ass

[sudden grotto]

How me and Bro look in the family photo

[gilded vessel]

the problem is i can only have 2 spies boosting ideology with them only boosting ideology by 0.3 every day

beacuse if i add more it adds 0.0 ideology boosting

[sudden grotto]

Well tahts pretty much all you can do

[lone sail]

That is a family photo

The tsar and Kaiser where cousins in law

[gilded vessel]

so i have to wait about a year to do a coup?

[sudden grotto]

Same with George V

[woven ravine]

Is an Iceland WQ even possible? It's my 6th attempt and I just get bogged down in the UK

[sudden grotto]

Ye? Its not as fast as other spies missions

[lone sail]

They where cousins by blood

[west sequoia]

time to try another game as poland this time using artillery and SPaa

[sudden grotto]

Victoria was farming back in the day

[lone sail]

The tsars wife was german, and related to the Kaiser, who was related to the king

[lone sail]

Wilhelm said that if she was still alive ww1 would have not happened

[sudden grotto]

Have never*

[celest heart]

The more I learn about Wilhelm

[fallow grove]

I always thought the tank designer and the tank mios were not part of no step back and they were free for all lol

[celest heart]

He was insane but yoy also feel sad for him

[lone sail]

He wasn’t insane

He had poor social skills

[celest heart]

I mean the whole

[fallow grove]

I think Hitler also had insane bad social skills

Most dictators do lol

[rose siren]

he was insane

[lone sail]

But Wilhelm has a good domestic policy

He gave workers rights

Unlike Bismarck

[celest heart]

Sexual attraction to the mothers hands

[rose siren]

he thought that he was a brilliant strategist but he sucked

[lone sail]

What

[fallow grove]

Lol bro wanted so bad the brilliant strategist trait

[lone sail]

That sounds like British propaganda

[celest heart]

He dreamed about kissing his moms hands

[lone sail]

That doesn’t mean anything

[west sequoia]

for space marines do you guys use mediums or heavies

[lone sail]

Have ridiculous dreams doesn’t mean anything

[rose siren]

mediums

[celest heart]

Read the letter

Yeah I know it

It was a weird and sad thing

Becaude his mom hated him

[fallow grove]

If Hitler was a field Marshall what traits do yall think he would have

[lone sail]

Heavies for armor

[lone sail]

Because of his deformity

[celest heart]

He had a complex and always wanted to prove how manly he was

Which influenced his awful foreign policy

[lone sail]

I mean he succeeded

[rose siren]

insanity: -20% org

[celest heart]

His whole family disdained him and he did terribly in diplomacy

[fallow grove]

🤣🤣🤣

[lone sail]

But he was badass and a good person

And the reason his family hated him was because he had a deformity

[brittle gazelle]

how many factories does the US get up to when it awakes typically?

[celest heart]

Badass=manchild

Good person is subjective

[fallow grove]

140 or so

[celest heart]

Undeniably racist but that was usual for the time

[rose siren]

i cant think of a better one lol

[lone sail]

He sympathized with the working class

[lone sail]

Not as racist as everyone else

[fallow grove]

That means nothing

Stalin did and he was also insane

[lone sail]

Stalin was the working class

Wilhelm was a royal

[fallow grove]

But he was insane

[brittle gazelle]

total??? because my intel said before 300, and now its estimating 300-600

[rose siren]

and he was mental

[fallow grove]

Same as the kaiser

[lone sail]

The Kaiser was a chill guy

[celest heart]

Not form what everyone who met him said

[lone sail]

Extremely paranoid

[celest heart]

Literally nobody he knew liked him not because of his deformity entirely

[fallow grove]

Stalin was also paranoid as hell 🤣

[rose siren]

https://tenor.com/view/kaiser-wilhelm-kawaii-teruboz-gif-13107628486786161527

[celest heart]

He was just an obnosxious childish person

[fallow grove]

And was working class and a broke ass

[celest heart]

Socially

[lone sail]

They hated him because they where ableist

[lone sail]

I’m talking about Stalin

[fallow grove]

Ah

[celest heart]

Also Becaude he was an ass

Who acted like a little kid

[lone sail]

He wasn’t

He was socially awkward

[celest heart]

My source is from aristocracy primarily his distant cousins who frequently talkes about how annoying gis laugh was

And how he played pranks on people

I’m not demonizing him

[fallow grove]

He was stupid?

[celest heart]

He just was a highly flawed man

[lone sail]

He has a bad laugh, that doesn’t sound like it’s his fault

[lone sail]

That’s cool tbh

He has a sense of humor

[celest heart]

He was a terrible leader undeniably

I don’t hate the man

[lone sail]

Only in foreign policy

[fallow grove]

Italy 🤣

[lone sail]

He turned Germany into an economic powerhouse

And he didn’t fully want a war

[celest heart]

It would’ve been anyway but yes

[sudden grotto]

Funny how VW was legit created by them and today Is One if not the most valuable car group brand

If I had a Time Machine I would use it to give modern Medicine to queen Victoria so that she survives until ww1 because she wouldn’t allow it to happen

[kind vale]

They'd just assassinate her

Oh

No ww2 ig

[lone sail]

Or ww1

Because Victoria survives long enough to not allow ww1

[kind vale]

No ww1 was caused bc everyone in Europe wanted to fight

[lone sail]

But queen Victoria would have never allowed it

-Kaiser Wilhelm II

[kind vale]

She has no say over most of Europe

Anyone would've started it

[lone sail]

She’s basically the grandmother of the 3 major powers

[kind vale]

Don't mean they'll listen to her

[sudden grotto]

Because balkans did balkans things

[lone sail]

They probably would have

[kind vale]

Yeah they always cause problems

[kind vale]

No they wouldn't have

[lone sail]

Queen Victoria bro

[proven rock]

soldiers in medieval times looked cooler then soldiers in the world wars

[lone sail]

She has an era named after her

(And 3 games)

That don't mean nothing when the entirety of Europe wants to fight

Or Serbia

[lone sail]

The tsar was best friends with Wilhelm

[kind vale]

Or the ottomans

[lone sail]

[sudden grotto]

21 august

Is there some place where they announce those dates? The original one on steam was kinda outdated/changed

[craggy dove]

do the new dlcs release october?

like last year

[ornate rover]

They have yet to announce anything for next DLC. So far they only talked about what they are working on for the future.

[sudden thistle]

the host doesnt have any dlc

and my internet is too bad too host

[stark coyote]

Niceeeeee

[lost quest]

The fact that you need to pay for updates to the game is wild

[sudden thistle]

That’s just paradox

[lost quest]

in cities skylines it’s just add ons and different maps but in HOI4 it’s regular updates that get packaged and sold as “DLCs”

[sudden thistle]

Eu4, ck3, vic3

[lost quest]

I haven’t played any of those

so idk

[sudden thistle]

But yeah

It’s annoying

[lost quest]

$60 for a map game alone is crazy but having to pay a shit ton more for a few DLCs is absurd

just delay it until the winter war

Now I have just to hold until USA arrives

[lost quest]

and you can catch both the Germans and the Soviets off guard

[slim nexus]

soviet declare on me in 1941 usually after the winter war

[lost quest]

that’s why you start it before or during the winter war

declare on Germany

and you can easily push them all the way to Berlin

and push the Soviets to Minsk/Kyiv

Retreat your units to an area with better supply, let them reorg, then sent them back to the front

[hybrid solstice]

hmm okay

ty

[slim nexus]

cuz green bubble go brr

[gilded vessel]

i expected the soviet union to completely defeat me in a war in 1938 as japan since they have 3x more troops but the power of poland and baltics actually let me capture leningrad

also i have 0 tanks or offensive divisions

its may 1943

[slim nexus]

Netherlands kust joined the war before even germany attacked them

[slim nexus]

you gave Usa too much time

[lost quest]

Netherlands is like the Poland of Western Europe

you can delay the war until the time is right

[lost quest]

and strike when Germany is distracted

in my playthroughs they end up taking half of Germany

but tbf that might just be the allies advancing from their land

[slim nexus]

Yeah this mod is crazy its 1977 and i just got another brand new tree

[celest heart]

My path went up to like late 79

But I did the liberal pacifists

And I think the agrarian might have more focused

Not sure

[west sequoia]

Im genuinely considering just surrendering danzig to germany

is there any reason not to

[gilded vessel]

bro how are we even winning its 1938 and i dont have any offensive troops

[west sequoia]

which one

[celest heart]

You are gonna make a monster Soviet if you don’t win

[gilded vessel]

well im close to capturing moscow and i installed a mod so i have to capitulate the soviets before china or any other nation so it was the only way

[celest heart]

Good luck

[gilded vessel]

i always go infiltration

[lethal ether]

thats just called being clueless not being a man

its usually personal prefference, if you play the game for fun you can annex to look bigger on the map, but if you want whats statistically better you puppet

[gilded vessel]

i mean so far its not going terribly

[sudden grotto]

Imma kms rq then

[slim nexus]

I am having hard times understanding this

[rose siren]

No 😭

[slim nexus]

How are you in 1938 in Poland

[gilded vessel]

i installed a japanesse focus tree mod but i didnt realize the path im going down i must capitulate the soviets before i can declare on china so i got the warsaw-tokyo pact and invited the baltics

[slim nexus]

Soon the winter war is gonna start

1 more ally wont hurt

[rustic furnace]

Assault is better for most situations

[gilded vessel]

Hi guys, i'm planning to invade France as Italy in 1937 but they have an alleance with Jugoslavia, Romania and Czechoslovakia and of course UK, i have an alleance with Hungary, any tips?

I'm also planning a coupe in france

[rustic python]

Miserably Failing Barbarossa to this track is a vibe

[rustic python]

Africa’ is lost too

[stark coyote]

D-Day will go crazy dawv

[rustic python]

They landed in western France already

[stark coyote]

Are u christian?

[dense axle]

no way a woman playes this game

are you straight

[stark coyote]

It should not be a surprise when there are many

[craggy dove]

is there any situation where id pick medium airframe over light for either CAS or fighter?

[rustic python]

There’s a couple actually

[stark coyote]

Not really

[dense axle]

❌❌❌

[stark coyote]

Maybe as USA since there's a MIO for it

[rustic python]

For long range heavy planes but not in vanilla hoi I think, maybe for pacific warfare

[kind vale]

Light frames are still better

[stark coyote]

And even in pacific theater most of the times is better to stick sith light

Wi5h

[craggy dove]

im playing china and for some reason i got MIO for mediums before lights

[flat barn]

Hi friends

[craggy dove]

thanks!

[stark coyote]

Sup

[stark coyote]

[dense axle]

i can tell this run is screwed by looking at the eastern front and landing in britanny

[rustic python]

I play a mod with historic range and more air zones, as Germany you can’t get planes into Norway for example unless you go with 2 engine heavy fighters

[dense axle]

and and britain too

you should kill them as soon as france capitulates

[rustic python]

I have a feeling I will capitulate 😂

[dense axle]

poland should take a month, france 2 at most and the UK 3/4

[rustic python]

I lost 1.5 M soldiers in Caucasus and stanlingrsf

And got driven back couple hundred km

[dense axle]

🤯

[stark coyote]

It's not a feeling dawg

[fallen vigil]

spy agencies i also know

[ebon rover]

How can i make a Spy agencie?

[stark coyote]

Have u tried Esti is Scandi?

[dense axle]

When she said “tomato tomato,” it was presented as if it were supposed to carry some kind of punchline, but in reality it fell completely flat because there was no setup, no delivery, and absolutely no comedic structure behind it. Humor usually relies on clever timing, wordplay, irony, or surprise, but this phrase had none of those qualities—it was literally just the repetition of a word that already means the exact same thing both times, which made it feel more like filler than comedy. Instead of making anyone laugh, it created a strange pause in the conversation, almost like everyone was waiting for something else to follow, maybe a continuation or some kind of twist that would justify why it was said in the first place. But nothing came afterward, and that silence only emphasized how unfunny it was. A joke that doesn’t land can sometimes at least be funny in its failure, but in this case it wasn’t even entertaining to watch it flop—it was simply boring. It lacked wit, it lacked creativity, and it lacked any sort of context that could have saved it from being completely meaningless. If the goal was to spark laughter, then it failed entirely, because the phrase has no comedic angle and no inherent absurdity; it’s just a word stated twice. People expect more from humor, even casual humor among friends, and when someone reduces it to empty repetition, it feels lazy rather than lighthearted. The attempt came across more like a placeholder than an actual joke, something tossed out just to say something without thinking about whether it had any value. Comedy, even at its simplest, needs at least a spark of originality, but this had nothing. There was no clever pun, no change in meaning, no situational irony, and no delivery that could redeem it. It’s the kind of thing that not only fails to be funny but also drains the energy of the moment because people don’t know how to react—do they politely laugh, do they stay quiet, do they point out that it wasn’t funny? No.

[smoky herald]

Ok but how do i send my friend the paradox bot

First of all went democratic Germany and did all correctly. Attacked Austria using shield focus. Almost wiped Austria and suddenly Czechoslovakia and France joined Italy and Austria and all other axis powers and wiped me in seconds

Then the UK and USA fought the France and Italy

[stark coyote]

If you turn commie without cw you are stuck with this

nice work again with this dlc

also the historical path is stuck with this

[stark coyote]

Im logging in to send it

Forgot the nick ngl

[heavy vigil]

Realism

[neat kayak]

yeah sure

at this point no one cares about realism

but about having fun

where is the realism when you can do austria hungary after it's collapse or restoring byzantium from a debt nation

and the list goes on

Communist germany 💀

where is the realism on that

[heavy vigil]

This really isnt all that unrealistic

[neat kayak]

estonia going ham and annexing the nordics

[heavy vigil]

Tamest example

[neat kayak]

or poland crowning a random woman then a bear and then form the slavic union

this isn't about realism it's about having fun

[sudden thistle]

The IS-2 is goated

It’s literally my most used tank

[neat kayak]

tbh i would've been thanked if the nations in this dlc would've been like chile

challenging but rewardful

and fun ofc

[stark coyote]

It's Goated until I have to reload 💔

Or fight on top of a hill lmao

Soviet moment

[heavy vigil]

Calling chile fun is a stretch

[neat kayak]

Chile is fun

chile is easily a top 5 minor nation

[sudden thistle]

The lack of gun depression is depressing

[stark coyote]

💔

[neat kayak]

mapuche , napoleon , underrated communist, hispanic unity ( fascist)

that's a skill issue if you can't enjoy a good nation

[stark coyote]

You complete the depression with the one that gives you

[neat kayak]

and can enjoy afghanistan or iran that are stuck with debuffs if you try something diff 💀

[grizzled yarrow]

Wot is a hellhole

[proud tapir]

T-34-85s have a goated round

insane angled performance

What was the usa thinking when they tought "wait why dont we make everything a sherman and call it a day"

[sudden thistle]

Once I played war thunder I have never went back to WOT/B

[stark coyote]

TOA is just schizo dlc dawg 💔

[stark coyote]

Peak production

[proud tapir]

guys from what i figured, there are nations who have a revamped historical focus branch but without the dlc it does not have alt paths revamped

[rose siren]

😭😭😭

[grizzled yarrow]

I once played war thunder with a friend and he pulled me into a top tiet realistic air game

I had the time of my life

[proud tapir]

wargaming is unironicly worse than gaijin

[neat kayak]

i'd rather play a schizo dlc and have fun than play a dlc full of 70 day focuses and debuffs that stick with you

[grizzled yarrow]

This is the reasson i dont play germany

[neat kayak]

new germany is good

[grizzled yarrow]

I dont like the new focus tree

[neat kayak]

but i am still an enjoyer of austria

[grizzled yarrow]

Except the communist one

[neat kayak]

followed by chile and norway

[grizzled yarrow]

I wanna learn to play poland

But i have skill issue at the game

[neat kayak]

Poland is a lot of fun

all it's paths

or if you want something wacky

[grizzled yarrow]

Poland can be played a million different times

Its really versatile

[neat kayak]

and def not REALISTIC

play mexico

[grizzled yarrow]

Why mexico

[neat kayak]

well you can conquer the americas as any ideology

and core some states in USA

the old states mexico used to have

[grizzled yarrow]

Hmmmm

What polish focus would help me the most against the germans or soviets tho

Even if i end up beating one i would lose to the other

[neat kayak]

Anastasia

[grizzled yarrow]

Im not that good at the game especially micro managing

[neat kayak]

give up danzig

demolish the soviets

do the slavic union

[grizzled yarrow]

How

[neat kayak]

backstab germany

annex the slavs

enjoy the reward
