then let it run for a couple days\
after that click the conversion button

This is my first time trying
misty fossil
just slap everything on and put a HMG for the base model, then for the converted model just change the gun to high velocity 3 or whatever
warped flint
Yeah i think i did it right

also be clear with your naming because ur going to have 30 variants of the same design and you'll want to keep toggling obsolescence on and off
because of how the game worls
marking everything obsolete once you change out a module
putting 100 mils on tanks is crazy
also assign a mass production mio with cut corner policy to the base model, then another for the conversion
warped flint
Alright my brain is frozen

My neighbours are blasting music very loud, thats definitely not helping

Hey whats going on. I joined this server, because after 2.7k hours on Hoi4. I saw a tierlist for support companies that featured a Palm Tree and a Couple Crates icon as a support company. I cant find any info online on what it is, and its bothering me to high hell. What is the name of it?

Jungle pioneers
These aren't that bad necessarily if you are in jungle or forest terrain

only really useful in malaya, burma, siam, brazil

You can also just land with pioneers and then swap templates to jungle pioneers when needed

I was just stumped
They gotta give more nations access to these unique support companies
dusky burrow
Yes
heavy vigil
These aren't that bad necessarily if you are in jungle or forest terrain
Theyre bad
Only congo and brasil can even use them
But i guess you could send their troops to malaysia
dusky burrow
But i guess you could send their troops to malaysia
Yeah their main deficiency is that there are so few jungles in historical

I mean in non-historical you'd just fight in the jungle areas of Congo and Guyana,

No
You wouldnt
dusky burrow
why is assault batallion in that tier
Country specific tier
heavy vigil
I can assure you

so

You just never fight there
In fact
Taking all of the congo besides the coast doesnt even cap them
Trust me i tried

I mean if you're Congo you're likely fighting in this green area
That's what I'm saying

Isn't it crazy that at the same time as the Normandy landings the US was also executing offensives in Italy (Rome fell 6.4.44) and the Pacific (Saipan landings June 44)? US logistics were unreal

American logistics are truly unmatched

Totally. And offensives consume exponentially more supply than defensive

10% more stats is powerful, but when I can spam 32.4 width mountaineers its effects are diluted
heavy vigil
its broken for minors
Its good
Its not like the best tho
Just win your battle within 4 hours
dusky burrow
You'd also see that quite a few multiplayer holding templates don't use support artillery either
heavy vigil
The issue that most people seem to have playing minor powers is making completely unreasonable and unnecessary investments
Like putting 5+ mils on artillery, another 4+ on support equipment
You dont need all that
dusky burrow
Yeah
uneven portal
true that sir
heavy vigil
1 on artillery is fine for supports
Like 2 factories on support equipment is ok so you can give it to your good units
Or like 5+ factories on trucks
If you only use it for supply and your army is small you do not need more than like 1 maybe 2
Building trains is also like overrated tbh
dusky burrow
Research slots can also be limited too
dusky burrow
If you're a minor with 3 research slots you can't just research all lines of artillery in addition to infantry equipment, artillery, and industry techs
heavy vigil
Research slots can also be limited too
Been there
Havent played chile much yet
But it just seems so painful
But like iran yeahh
dusky burrow
Actually the strategy I used for Iran isn't that different to the one I used for Chile

nah Chile? thats hell (for me)
dusky burrow
But yeah roaching with 8-width militia/irregulars is a thing I did in both Ethiopia and Chile
dusky burrow
nah Chile? thats hell (for me)
Which path
fervent stone
Which path
mapuche and fascist
its the easier
but
still hard both ways
form chilean empire
dusky burrow
Yeah Mapuche might be a pain, you only have one way of getting cores and then you get no more
fervent stone
by the way
dusky burrow
Monarchist Chile is suprisingly chill
fervent stone
i liked communist china
dusky burrow
No idea, not touching that region until DLC
dusky burrow
What about the french path
I mean that is the French path
fervent stone
Monarchist Chile is suprisingly chill
i suppose so
fervent stone
wth happened to china
fervent stone
And update
yes but im suffering rn
china probably might not be fun anymore
beating USSR and japan
dusky burrow
What about the french path
The French path is tricky, you must defeat Argentina, and then somehow also get to Mexico and France and all of that within a limited time frame. But this is the mountaineer buff path I talked about earlier. You also get population buffs too
And then, as Chile, also defeat Brazil somewhere in the way
fervent stone
as a minor nation
dusky burrow
Just hope that Argentina and Brazil don't turn communist or fascist and just recruit ridiculous amounts of manpower
fervent stone
or xibei san ma if i want to suffer

It doesnt matter who unifies it

I was trying a communist brasil game earlier and its like
dusky burrow
And Brazil like 13
heavy vigil
Too slow
Its rlly good and cores all of south america and fast wargoals
But its slow compared to argentina
So kinda useless to learn imo
dusky burrow
I mean can you start conquering in 1940?
deft agate
Depends
deft agate
I like Building up
dusky burrow
It's at least doable I think
deft agate
Its fun
heavy vigil
Oh its doable
deft agate
Also i Lost the Manchuko Independence war like 700 times yesterday
heavy vigil
But if youre looking to perform at high ish level argentina is just better
deft agate
I just wanna establish the Mandate of Heaven!!
heavy vigil
Also i Lost the Manchuko Independence war like 700 times yesterday
The idea is to not lose
And also go five peoples
Its a lot better
deft agate
I always do that
deft agate
I play on 5 speed
heavy vigil
Were you always constructing, always researching?
heavy vigil
Not particularly duh
heavy vigil
A lot of 5 speed players just forget/cant click in time
heavy vigil
Its not great yeah
deft agate
U wouldn't believe how many people just forget lol
I forgot to research guns once
As Canada
dusky burrow
I forget a lot tbh
heavy vigil
Were you researching important techs ahead of time?
Like gun you want ahead of time
Production too
deft agate
I was stuck in 1942 with 1936 guns once
deft agate
Production too
I was trying but only two Research slots at the start
dusky burrow
Were you researching important techs ahead of time?
Yeah another key of my Iran and Chile strategies was to just get gun 3 as quickly as possible, and this meant forgetting about artillery
heavy vigil
I was trying but only two Research slots at the start
Yeah
deft agate
Ill try today again
heavy vigil
1 on gun
1 on production
Just keep them there
Dont research anything else
Dont go 'oh no the production boost is in 1937 i have to do construction for my 2 civs'
Just research the production
dusky burrow
For Iran I didn't even research AA until after I defeated Greece
deft agate
Im in class after i finish for today ill try again
dusky burrow
Yeah
deft agate
Like i was in Seoul before i Got naval Invaded
Also when do you get a White Peace offer from Japan
Like why can't Hirohito just get CBTd into Surrendering 
dusky burrow

Don't you have to kick the Japanese off Korea first?

Guys is this a good template? If not, how can improve it?(Except adding support AA because I know about it I can't yet)

Why does it only have 75 soft attack
Do you only have basic equipment?
heavy vigil
Do you only have basic equipment?
All tech gone into tank
grizzled zenith
Why does it only have 75 soft attack
Because my tank uses cannon of 2nd level
Also it's like 1938
So no 2nd guns yet
heavy vigil
Why did you research basic mediums
grizzled zenith
Youre supposed to have those in 38
They are 1939 tech
dusky burrow
BTW which nation is this
heavy vigil
They are 1939 tech
I know
grizzled zenith
BTW which nation is this
Luxembourg, I have 6 of this divisions
heavy vigil
Luxembourg, I have 6 of this divisions
Ok as luxembourg even less excuse to have bad guns
grizzled zenith
They work against Belgium but improving the template will definitely help
heavy vigil
You have the generic tree
It gives you research bonuses for 39 gun, then the 2 techs after
So you can get the 42 gun in late 39/early 40
You just have to keep teching gun with a slot
grizzled zenith
Ok as luxembourg even less excuse to have bad guns
I needed the tanks so I focused my research in them and conversion tech
heavy vigil
Its why the generic tree is quite strong
Cuz ur guns are really good
And also like 900 weekly manpower and some eco ig
grizzled zenith
But also I only have 2 research slots for most of the time
grizzled zenith
And I need to rush the industrial trss
grizzled zenith
1 slot industry
Tanks?
grizzled zenith
Third slot
Once I unlock it?
heavy vigil
Yeah i mean if you wanna do tanks
grizzled zenith
I was just rushing tanks in my games
heavy vigil
Thats a third/fourth slot tech
Usually 2 on industry is nice but youll live
And the tank slot is just
Research interwars
Then go to research either AA line (pretty good for tank guns tbh) artillery line or AT line
And just ignore the other 2
grizzled zenith
Research interwars
Interwars, medium, 1 armour research, 1 arti research, radio reseach
grizzled zenith
And just ignore the other 2
Are interwars good?
heavy vigil
Interwars, medium, 1 armour research, 1 arti research, radio reseach
Radio is not gonna win the game for you

"good enough"

It can fit a gun
Ok I'll try that with interwars it's way less research
And also research good guns

Also as Luxembourg shouldn't you get AA?
grizzled zenith
Also as Luxembourg shouldn't you get AA?
Against who? Belgium? Netherlands?
They don't have air
And France falls even like that
dusky burrow
Against Germany
grizzled zenith
Against Germany
I'll have the AA by the time I'm at war with it
heavy vigil
Also as Luxembourg shouldn't you get AA?
AA is good for cheap tanks
You get autocannons
And also heavy guns if you wanna pivot to heavies when your factories > manpower
grizzled zenith
And also heavy guns if you wanna pivot to heavies when your factories > manpower
I don't think Luxembourg can afford heavies
dusky burrow
I mean you can, you get heavy cannon 3 if you go far enough
heavy cannon 2 is mid-way through
heavy vigil
I don't think Luxembourg can afford heavies
You will be able to later
When you have benelux and/or EU
And you only need basic heavy tech for it so its not some massive tech youre behind on
Like air is probably not viable
grizzled zenith
When you have benelux and/or EU
By that time obviously
