[urban talon]

oh okay then mb

it requires trotsky path

did you go stalinist?

[frosty solstice]

yea

[umbral agate]

so i decided to retreet ou tthe uk and uhh

[frosty solstice]

returning territory means transferring ownership

[eternal palm]

Yes

[frosty solstice]

you can do that without autonomous soviet republics

[analog ivy]

you'll be fine some of your troops will lose a bunch of supply

theres plenty of them online

[uncut pollen]

but how do i know its the best

[zinc light]

For infantry, it's Common concensus
A Block of 9 infantry, Support Arty, Engineers

Cheap offensive unit, 8 mountaineers, 3 arty, Support Arty, engineers (assault engi later on), recon

There's plenty of tutorials

[analog ivy]

what mod is this lol

[eternal palm]

This is pretty bad ngl. Arty in general is bad, wouldn't recommend it

[eternal palm]

Check pins in #ask-for-help-here

Those have pretty good info

[analog ivy]

not even support artillery?

[eternal palm]

It's basically a tutorial

[eternal palm]

Support arty is fine

Though for offense specifically it's not that good

[analog ivy]

would u use support arty on your infantry?

[eternal palm]

For example, for tanks those are my support companies

Just adjust for sp

This is actually mp lol

[eternal palm]

Line inf sure, if I'm doing 35.2 only if I'm missing some companies for whatever reason

[zinc light]

Brother it's literally the meta, 25 width mountaineers

And they get additional amazing Arty buffs

[eternal palm]

It isn't 💀

Useless youtube slop

25w doesn't do anything except for mountains

And you're not exclusively fighting in mountains

Even if u were 32 is still better

It makes more sense to design your units to fit in the most common terrain which is plains

[eternal palm]

And that arty buff adds a total of 5 soft per battalion. So you'd need at least 5 arty to justify that recon slot for something else like support arty which has more soft outright

Rangers are cool, but it doesn't justify putting arty in it

[bright oracle]

when your playing non historical, thinking you gon be the underdog and then every other nation is going the same ideology as you for absoloutly no reason

[lone sail]

More hard attack than soft attack is crazy

[zinc light]

I dont know If you're ragebaiting or Just ignorant
25 width mountaineers have been the Meta for a Long Time, 8 mountaineers divisions, 3 arty divisions. I give you that, the recon is optional, but I like putting it in and I feel a noticeable difference

[eternal palm]

Lmao. Instead of actually engaging with what I said you either presume I'm dumb or ragebaiting. But I guess I can't blame u in this day and age

[zinc light]

Have fun pushing into mountains with your unoptimized Tank divisions I guess

[zinc light]

Because you're saying nonsense

[eternal palm]

Does this look unoptimised bruh

[lone sail]

because of the artillary doctrine for mountaineers?

[eternal palm]

Well, that's too damn bad

[zinc light]

For 50 width Mountains, yeah

[eternal palm]

"Meta" according to whom? The youtubers? Bruh

Just cuz the youtubers say so doesn't make it true

[eternal palm]

Cuz tanks are obviously not fighting in mountains

Bruh

[zinc light]

According to everyone that has 2 brain cells rubbing together

[eternal palm]

That's precisely the point

They don't think

They just execute what they're told

Instead of testing

Oh yeah, I dont remember the Tree all too well

[random quiver]

They had no second lines so I just broke through

[grizzled lark]

line arty is shit af tho? Mountaineers are literally infantry but with positive terrain modifier. Why take away the only thing making them special. Second of all it doesnt have to be 25 to fit in a mountain, 2 32w mountaineers can fit and not have a big penalty. Having line arty also reduces the mountaineer's hp and org per width making them worse at holding, worse at attacking and so on bcs they wont last in the fight long enough. And let's not forget you are making them way too expensive. If you want to push with mountaineers its the same case for inf, you need air. Tanks can push without air but for SP inf and air can win you any war and making the inf/sf more expensive than it has to be is plainly stupid.

I dont need spreadsheets, I adapt

[gilded vessel]

what happens every single time in every single game i play i do some sort of attack and secure some land then the enemy attacks me de orgs me and pushes me all the way back

some of my divisions have little supply

[eternal palm]

Ur probably deorged from the previous battle so they beat you because they got more org

Also could be that ur units suck

And if u lack supply, maybe take hubs first

Or upgrade railways if your capped on it

[gilded vessel]

i took a few hubs and i cant attack anymore

[eternal palm]

And you're still capped?

[gilded vessel]

my units are pretty basic 9 infantry with support artillery and engineer

[gilded vessel]

capitulated?

[eternal palm]

Do you have air?

[eternal palm]

No supply capped. If u are suffering supply issues

[gilded vessel]

i got 3 fighters and 1 bomber

[gilded vessel]

in some areas but they are also pushing in those with full supply

well like 8 provinces

[eternal palm]

💀

Maybe try to get an air force

[lethal ether]

hoi4 should add rc tanks

and airsoft guns

[eternal palm]

Rc?

[lethal ether]

divisions

and maybe some inflatable castles as forts too

[gilded vessel]

that would take a long time my enemy also has 200 airplanes

[eternal palm]

Ok who are you playing as and who are u fighting

[gilded vessel]

Yea ok I can't help u then

[gilded vessel]

also

it might be beacuse

[serene token]

Its a game franchise, its best to look up the lore on fallout.

[lunar wraith]

Oh I see

[eternal palm]

Maybe try to grasp the game and then get dlcs after u got the controls down. But early on nsb, mtg and bba are pretty good

Fuel, takeouts bcs you won't have time to cook anymore

[heavy vigil]

Hi scarred

[worn coral]

dude

random mode is so wild

communist mexico is taking over the united states

[worn lintel]

Germany got the oil…
But at what cost?

(They managed to get 2/3 of the major Soviet cities and Baku

Then Poland revolted and cut them off(the Germans were still pushing into Russia until the fall of Romania

Stalingrad was in German hands until the fall of Vienna

(Postwar borders for anyone interested)

[pale stream]

At first glance I can't even tell whether you're playing Spain, Yugoslavia or Poland lol

[worn lintel]

Brazil

[pale stream]

Why is Lithuania shaped like that

[pale stream]

oh

[worn lintel]

Why isn’t Lithuania shaped like that

[pale stream]

It just seems very out of place even though I see that it has outer vilnius

But what's going on with the German border

Why does it look so uncanny

[worn lintel]

Someone needs to counter Poland

[pale stream]

Or am I just too used to some map changes made by road to 56

[worn lintel]

Poland has occupied up to east Berlin

[pale stream]

I mean- rn it's the polish border

But normally Germany's here

This very part

[worn lintel]

It’s just partitioned between the polish and Lithuanians because the Soviets are likely still fighting German remnants

[pale stream]

Oh ok

[clear dagger]

does air detection also affect static aa?

[versed rapids]

don't complain about the borders

hoi4 literally has the worst borders in all of paradox's game

[sudden thistle]

vic3 is worse imo

bad for map painting

[versed rapids]

wdym

it's not "worse"

it's just realistic

[proud tapir]

is it worth making 1940 hull cruisers in 1938 or should i stick to 1936 hulls?

[sudden thistle]

its only realistic for that time period

if u want to map paint in other eras its not

[versed rapids]

like it's not how the same is sold

[versed rapids]

just play eu4

[sudden thistle]

eu4 is dogshit

[versed rapids]

"i'm too lazy to learn a game so might aswell call it bad"

[worn coral]

guys

how do increase the range of transport planes

[versed rapids]

research new ones

[snow rain]

MIO (if you have Arms Against Tyranny DLC)
or research the latest version of it

[worn coral]

mio?

i have all dlcs

[sudden thistle]

i have bothered to learn it and i hate it

[worn coral]

but whats mio

[versed rapids]

how many hours do you have

[snow rain]

military industrial organization
basically your designer

[sudden thistle]

80 give or take a few

[worn coral]

oh yeah

[snow rain]

some have traits that give more range to transport planes, but they're limited

[uncut pollen]

I never watched an totorial about hoi4

[worn coral]

theres none for transport planes

[versed rapids]

not enough, to learn the game

[dusky burrow]

Yeah this is modded I assume

[versed rapids]

you're missing on a good chunk of the game

[snow rain]

then you can only use the basic tech
just upgrade it asap

ngl, eu4 without most DLCs is barebones

[sudden thistle]

im not going to learn the entire game when i hate it?

i like having fun

[versed rapids]

right, but then you're saying it's shit because you're not playing it

[split bane]

I tried playing Eu4 before but I gave up because it was too difficult
Good thing I got it for free
But hopefully Eu5 makes more sense

[versed rapids]

yea true, that's why i cracked all the dlc

[snow rain]

rule 6 bro

[versed rapids]

imo the ui is why people stopped playing the game, it's too complex for no reasons

[proud tapir]

Should i build heavy cruisers or an actual battleship for my fleet as capital ships?

[versed rapids]

what about it?

[snow rain]

I like the feel of the UI though

[proud tapir]

My navy dosent have any

[uncut pollen]

Im not having fun either at this game

[snow rain]

read the last line

[split bane]

Yeah
Like why does it have 99 buttons

[sudden thistle]

thats why i try helping people learn the game so they like it more

[versed rapids]

i didn't promote piracy

[snow rain]

it's not about promoting

[versed rapids]

i just said i have it, not stated any link or name

[uncut pollen]

Nice you are a special person

[snow rain]

"of any kind"

[versed rapids]

still holds my point

[sudden thistle]

ur pfp is perfect for this

[versed rapids]

what are they gonna do, look to see if i actually have all the dlcs or if i downloaded them off a weird russian website

[versed rapids]

lol

[proud tapir]

also is armor on light cruisers useless? Should i just remove it all togheter

[pale stream]

I'm not complaining, it's just the fact that the border looked odd compared to what it normally is

[sudden thistle]

no

[versed rapids]

yeah, but it's the same everywhere

[sudden thistle]

have atleast armour 2

[versed rapids]

china is a bloodlusty massacre

[proud tapir]

oh ok

[versed rapids]

some countries even lack some of their islands

italy for example

[pale stream]

Elba isn't

[sudden thistle]

venice isnt an island i think

and there is an island near tunis

i rememeber alt f4ing when i couldnt take it in ew4

[pale stream]

There is a lot of ignored islands or small quirks in terrain

[pale stream]

Just use armor II, anything above that is kinda pointless

I prefer unarmored because my fleets never lose

[versed rapids]

i'm talking about islands next to sicilia

which would have been useful tbf

[pale stream]

(What I meann is long as you can have a grandeur fleet with a lot of guns, you'll obliterate anything before it can even fire at you - so why have fewer armored CLs, which is less guns more armor instead of more guns and less armor with unarmored CLs?)

[dusky burrow]

I mean you could spend 5-10% more to armor your fleet so that it could engage even more

[clear dagger]

https://tenor.com/view/rock-one-eyebrow-raised-rock-staring-the-rock-gif-22113367

[dusky burrow]

Well well

[sudden thistle]

i love cas

[drowsy bronze]

who should i play in rt56

[pale stream]

ofc but firepower over armor gives more adrenaline when a big battle happens

I do the same for capital ships

Armor 1 battlecruisers

Going 35 knots with 230 heavy attack :3

I mostly play against buffed AI so my ships have to chew through a ton of scrap metal, most of the time they don't pose a major threat (by late 80s, every single country with sea access has hundreds of destroyers which are barely even armed)

[wary cosmos]

my and uk's troops got stucked in this no-access desert after egyptian state just popped up in the state we were fighting each other(anarchist ethiopia exists and it has a mechanic that can make a population rise to their masters in a colony)

[coarse trail]

https://www.youtube.com/shorts/9lUIGFweu3Q?feature=share felt like sharing this, made me laugh

[snow rain]

press ² key to open console, type in "tp", select your div and right click anywhere but there, open console again and retype "tp" to disable

[wary cosmos]

but thats cheating and cheating is a sin

[snow rain]

it isn't in a sandbox game

also, it's obviously a bug

otherwise you can just delete the div

[wary cosmos]

is this common bug

idk if i should send it to a bug channel etc

[snow rain]

no, I'm guessing you have a modded save even, because of the lack of victory point on el alamein

[wary cosmos]

no. the thing is. ethiopia has a mechanic that makes colony cores rise to their masters. and when i was pushing towards el alamein, suddenly that state rose as communist egypt and was at war with me. i capitulated it quickly and i got el alamein in peace treaty

but i have a modded save cuz i use state transfer tool

[snow rain]

I mean there should be a victory point on el alamein, as there are on tobruk, marsa matruh etc
the fact that there isn't seems to point at a map error

[wary cosmos]

hmm

it can be

also there is 1 victory point on el alamein when i make the map closer to there

it shows

but idk why it didnt show on my pic

[snow rain]

oh well,

then it might be a genuine bug, I guess anarchist ethiopia isn't that common

[zinc light]

I literally have a casualty ratio of 1:20 right now

[wind swift]

Boys i have a question

[zinc light]

I might have an answer

[wind swift]

Im coming back to the game after a long break. Playing germany naturally. How necessary is the research switch up extra 30day empty slot thing

All the YT tutorials push it but it seems cheesy and I dont really get it

[zinc light]

it's a niche mechanic, and not necessary at all tbh

[wind swift]

Ok

[serene token]

Wouldn't they be at war with the UK?

[wind swift]

Also do i really need to do the cavalry spam to rush anschluss or can I just spam shitty inf divs?

[zinc light]

nah for the early anschluss the important thing is to have a 1 unit division and a big division. make a metric ton of 1 unit divs, then turn them all into the big ones

it's again nice to have, but not necessary, germany is already very strong without those shenanigans

[wind swift]

Oh wow thats smart. Do i need army xp to make a 1 unit temp?

[serene token]

1 unit as in 1 slot divisions?

[zinc light]

you get 10 from your rhineland focus I think

[zinc light]

yeah

[wind swift]

Outstanding. Hey thanks man I really appreciate it

[zinc light]

you're welcome

[wind swift]

I promise to use my powers as a stronger Germany only for good

[zinc light]

where have I heard that before...

[serene token]

Do I convert them into big divisions after the Anschluss or before it fires off?

[serene token]

Rebels after taking over Germany over a demilitarized zone issue:

[zinc light]

once you started the focus you can delete em. The focus is impossible to be cancelled

[wind swift]

Id send them straight into Poland

[serene token]

Wouldn't making them big units work?

[zinc light]

France and UK going to war in sweet '36 after saying no to Rhineland

[wind swift]

I was trolling sorry

[serene token]

Ik, lol

[wind swift]

Ok just making sure* lol

[zinc light]

you can convert em into regular divs, you just will never have the equipment to put in em

[wind swift]

Rip

[serene token]

There should be a way where you can trade weapons with different stuff you have a major stock in.

[zinc light]

man this is just beautiful

[wind swift]

I got a rare achievement last time I did Germany because France never declared on me when I invaded Poland

[zinc light]

you actually can!

its some DLC

[serene token]

Ooh.

[wind swift]

Arms against tyranny I think

[serene token]

Unless your referring to lend lease.

[zinc light]

no, there's an international market

where you can buy n sell stuf

[wind swift]

💰 🤑 💸 💲 🪙 💶

[serene token]

Wasn't that incorporated into the base game?

[zinc light]

no idea

[wind swift]

Who wants bulk Panzer II??

[serene token]

Fact checked, and no, it wasn't incorporated into the base game.

[proud sparrow]

The international Market's from Arm's Against Tyranny, not one of the three previously incorporated DLC's

[sudden grotto]

My most honest reaction

[serene token]

are YOU playing said nations, or playing with them

if you are the one playing them, alt hist gives you more leeway usually as minors

[serene token]

Is that sea of thieves?

[proud sparrow]

that's ark evolved

[serene token]

Ooh

[kind vale]

😔

[proud sparrow]

alt hist is usually more fun playing as a minor, or something like Poland, so I'd go with that personally, as a major its usually better to start them on Hist AI, though once you go alt hist yourself so will the AI

[slim nexus]

i did manage to mangle my way into victory as poland-romania but its honestly really boring because poland will have to do the same shit every time to stand a chance

[grizzled zenith]

Is that a good div?

I'm Luxembourg and I have 6 of those it is tough going against Belgium but I still defend pretty well with my forts

[slim nexus]

what about the baltics because they just end up civil warring into joining the Soviets half the time and that's Poland's main line of expansion

[serene token]

Tbh, I don't have much say on templates, since I need to figure out what's good with them.

[proud sparrow]

I'm ngl, its going to be a mess no matter what when playing as anything in the baltics, that corridor of war is just kind of inevitable with the focus trees

If you're going to be playing it, you just kinda have to power through it

once you get past it though, its usually smooth sailing

[tiny blaze]

my electrical engineering teacher said he plays hoi4 🙏

[serene token]

Is Ireland a good minor nation to play as?

don't think so

I love playing as Turkey, that's also considered a minor yeah

[serene token]

Darn, I would love to see a new focus tree on Ireland.

[zinc light]

Iran is pretty good, idk why people hate on it

[serene token]

Don't they deal with a lot of instability?

[bronze mango]

Iran's fascist path is great

[zinc light]

not in my experience

[serene token]

And I think they get carved up by the Allies during WW2.

[bronze mango]

the only one ive had fun with

[zinc light]

nah thats iraq

as Iran you're on a clock because the USSR will inevitably come after you

[serene token]

Okay, they didn't carve up Iran, they invaded Iran.

[undone vale]

is this tuff

[bronze mango]

iraq got invaded by the allies, iran had a joint allied-comintern invasion

[zinc light]
