rattlesnacks and alligators
i just spam divisons and hope it works
snacks
fr
like wdym i couldnt beat my own people
i had like 90 max divisons
AND I STILL LOST TO COMMUNIST FRNACE
germany light tanks medium or heavy?
THEY COULDNT EVEN HOLD THE FRONT LINE
they were being supplied by the soviets
How I imagine my SF units cooking something.
and germany got involved once they invaded poland
spain and france were one big hot mess in late 1939
damn
๐
best US state?
My fellow chap, how might one procure modifications for a game obtained through less-than-reputable channels?
theres a guy in odessa who can tell you
ask that question to youtube
i heard its bad
its in a battle with la feria and london (tx)
no way its worse than bakersfeild CA though
la feria is ghetto
its all edgars
its a racist white guys nightmare
edgars and tortas everywhere
run down streets
It's incredible that you as SWE can get 0.70 Air xp early game
cleaveland is the worst
or is it memphis
god bless texas
idk my town is the fattest in america
god bless mcallen
east coasters could never imagine driving in the same state for 12 hours
make it 36 if you drive through austin dallas or mcallen
how do you manage this
idk but i have high metabolism
i can eat whatever fast food i want
mogged
and my bmi is still underweight
same
You can drive 13 hours and still be in California
without getting off the highway
True
no shat
yeah california still wins
I mean big parts already exist
WELL THATS RN
traffic rn
make those directions at like 4pm on a friday afternoon
fair
that would be like 67 hours
it took me an hour to get 5 miles in LA
one time it took me 2 hours to get from mcallen to harlingen because the interstate was clogged
truly ridiculous city
why do people live in big cities
atp we should colonise wyoming or west virginia
theyre seperate countries
yes
mass relocation from big states
is 500k people big
bro is wi
?
frick yes
my town is like 150k and it feels big
bro ur in like top 10 big cities
its only 6th in cali
what if everyone farted at the same time
that would be funny
truely it would
what kind of fart tho
LA should reolcate people to west virginia
ive had long lasting earthquake inducing farts
big one
if it was the biggest fart i ever had
happening to all 8 billion of us
the world would explode like in solar smash
what if i go back in time to september 10th 2001
and warn everyone that texas is gonna ban phones in 2025
and leave
no its a giant lake that the cia is covering up
like how france is actually a big ocean but its covered up by the cia
when you fly to france or new mexico
you actually get sent to a remote location in australia
true
ok comrade
nevermind
i made it like 3 steps down my stairs and i heard something move
aborted mission
Do u wanna know what would actually happen
I can do the physics too
YES
Give me 5 mins
im back from the bathroom
Imagine the fart breaking the sound barrier ๐
where on earth is churchill
oh no its lord halifax
Btw whats byte
i love alt hist the communist chinese declared on china and i just freely walked into most of their land and encircled like 20 divs
now it should be way easier to cap them
im pretty sure thats what happened irl right?
probably in that universe humanity would die in october 12th 2043 because a 21km long asteroid would crash in Hannover, Germany
@opal citrus btw
what
WHY DO WARLORDS KEEP TAKING OVER THE COUNTRY
went from -50k to -19k
my garrisons are so high lol
why does the map look SO MUCH BIGGER on this map mod lol
im a fan of the colours of these puppets
bruh
tno map compatibility patch with always colour puppets
Any guide for invading the ussr?
if you are a minor nation just hold and try to starve them but if you can afford tanks just hold with inf and try to encircle as many divs as possible
usually the AI is stupid so you should be able to get big encirclements easily
is this saveable
pray to allah
8 bits
10 minutes ago i would've said i was getting cooked
then ai italy and romania joined in and reversed the war
Is this the fascist route?
Italy...Is pushing the front i see...
Honestly you should have taken Yemen before going to the Allies for the purpose of sealing Aden, but I imagine it is saveable due to the depth of your territory
ai italy aimlessly pushing the front to decrease their strength is peak
Lmao
"we got them lads." Proceeds to retreat from Turin to Florence
isnt left mobile warfare literally just mass mob?
like i use mass mob for the 5% recruitable pop but mobile warfare is better for tanks AND IT DOES THE SAME THING
mass mob is the thing where you abuse reinforcement rate right?
thank you for this recommendation btw, love it!
Ehhh kinda
INDIA IS FREE IMAGINE HOW MUCH MP IM GONNA HAVE
rn i have china and i have 10 million
i hope to get like a billion or something lol
Do women in the workforce for even more
just friends' server

Because it seems like ur friend is in our ban appeal server
Hmmm
alhamdullilah it worked
i kicked the brits out of south arabia
Some guy with the leader role
oh yeah i heard about that
i don't know what he did
Are u an alt
Oh he had a nazi banner
lmao ok
Hell be unbanned soon anyways
This was going to be an Axis co-op game with my friend as Italy. He annoyed me so I betrayed him, and now we are in this mess.
this surprises me
yea
so i have 10% recruitable pop rn
i feel like countries irl have recruited like WAY more than 10% of their population before
like the ussr lol
and switzerland
800k civ pop a month is so good tho
what did your friend do to make you betray him ๐ญ
He insulted the great and glorius nation of Ireland
So now we are in a deadlock
Erm, Mods racism?
I've been focused on Micro but yeah
let me rephrase for your satisfaction
in the game known as Hearts of Iron IV, ireland, sucks.
tibet isnt china bro it belongs to israel
we might be cooked
wtf
the ussr has already almost done world conquest
BRO I SHOULD BE THE ONE PRINTING TROOPS
Nah its ussr plus Italy
you have so much manpower you don't need to print troops
maybe tank printing due to your ic
i'm not educated enough to know what can be accomplished with ussr and italy
U should have went ma r and battleplanned them to death with green air lmao
It would be easy
i cant even use my air lol
theres no airports in siberia
Wow
oh report this guy
but i dont even have to use my air against the soviets anyways until i get to their important lands
cause they cant use air either
so i'm assuming:
- small planes for air superiority
- med planes for...cas? or did i mix it up with small planes
- large planes for tac / strat bomb
I use small for cas
Medium are for tactical bombers
At least when I tried to make cas with med that's what it said
No
Are u going for larp or meta
meta
Small airframe for cas
And fighter
Template in #ask-for-help-here pins
I wanna try playing a Soviet game where you spam hundreds of underequipped units and you have tons of planes and cas which do all the job
Someone did it on mp and it destroyed us
the french, czechs and benelux are helping me against the communists luckily
they are the only thing in europe helping me lol
OH POLAND IS FIGHTING THE USSR TOO???
Polish Soviet war all over again ๐
what are they yapping about they are already free ๐ฅ
mussolini deposed, should i be worried
WHO TF DO THEY THINK WE ARE???
"japan give up everything that you spend years fighting wars for"
Yes
No its eaw
NOOOOOO IT'S THE PONY MOD?
Its spelt right
WHY DO PEOPLE PLAY THAT
if france dies we are cooked
yeah im cooked
i have 0 supply
they heavily outnumber me too
we need captains, like commanders of ships you promote to admiral
nah i js gave up cause poland and the benelux capped
and poland was starting to get pushed back
i think i finished my goal which was to take china
reddit rate my encirclement
nice
I dont have HOI4 beacause i am VERY poor so i dont know How You do tate
i think the reason why im doing worse is because of the devastation mod
OH AND THE AI DIVISIONS MOD
OHHHH THAT MAKES MORE SENSE
hi guys, im playing as the ussr and can i get cores on any finnish states? i just beat them in the winter war and im now in the peace conference
you most likely dont but just take the state bordering leningrad for historical accuracy
and you can just puppet them
hm i could
karjala yea
bro its june 1936 and the ai has already beat the south the ai is actually doing really good with these mods lol
dont worry about it
you are the USSR
who needs support equipment if you can just put people into battle without guns anyways?
they'll find some guns from the corpses
dont
youll have an annoying front with germany from norway
you could just take karelia and puppet sapmi and finland
well germany didnt fight norway
they didnt?
I dont think the Soviet Union can get any cores past their starting ones
Soviet Union, Not USSR, Not any other alt History path
yeah, im on non-historical and for some reason the germans did their historical paths but declared on me mid-1939
wtf
damn
Still very non-historical to me
and ofc the anglo-german alliance is a thing
yeah but i didnt know they would declare on me in 1939
with no warnings whatsoever
Germany has a 50% Chance of doing fascist still
the very important state of tannu tuva:
Not even a war prep thing?
still a starting core ig
no
its a starting core but not a starting state of the ussr
Yesterday I changed history so much Germany decided to cede Slovakia for Danzig in historical ๐
I think I'm stupid, but I can't find where my railway gun is. Can anyone tell me how I can search for specific divisions? Thanks.
u build them in states
They become a unit. I can't find where it spawned.
I got it through a focus.
There's an hourglass that seems like a search feature...but it doesn't seem to search for my railway gun.
Oh well, I'll make new ones anyway.
I've come to appreciate railway guns.
wtf the game just gaslighted me, i didnt invite estonia to my faction
i tried to fix the border gore
why are you playing in 1905 against soviet russia
what happened to your timeline
its just a normal game but in 1905
starting in 1900
i got saved
thank you germany for being stupid
they declared on czechoslovakia and france was in czech faction
(im the ussr which germany declared on me with absolutely no warning in mid-1939)
they did the focus to get war goals on all of the baltics but i annexed latvia and lithuania
pushed through maginot with just infantry and no air ๐ฅ
how...
Why is it so dark
bye poland
cause of the puppets
much better
made a breakthrough through the mountains (I DONT HAVE TANKS AND IM SOMEHOW STILL DOING THIS WITH SOME MODS THAT MAKE THE AI MORE DIFFICULT)
dont ask how
we are ready to invade poland rn
he got canada for helping
and i am rn doing about 92% of tenson in the world
there goes the ENTIRE army
NOOOO SAF WHY WOULD YOU DO THAT
DONT EMBARGO ME I HAVE NO MATERIALS
finally im fixing the border gore
ITS EVEN WORSE
but now i have mexican oil and an easy way to invade the USA
bro they are winning..
can someone give me a good 1939 infantry division for hungary
just do like 9 inf and 1 arty
that usually works for me
alright thanks
and support ofc
i forgot to put units on the east side but i capped them before they got to my capital lol
im gonna declare on them again to fix the border gore
ah
im doing an infantry only playthrough ig with alot of mods that make the ai smarter
like they dont put 90% of their divisions on garrisoning their ports and instead focus them on the front line
and they just make better division templates in general
how do i get manpower as romania whitout going to war with the allies
are u doing historical?
u probably wont be able to beat the soviets unless germany locks in
also why are u playing a hard mod if u dont know what divs to use ?
alt hist
ALSO I AM THE SOVIETS MATE
AI COULDNT OF DONE THIS LOL
ohhh
this guy
ik but i thought u were the other guy replying to me bc u were talking about inf only
and he was asking for inf templates
atleast make tanks bro
18 width inf is king
air is overrated imo especially if ur not allies
i have like 20k tanks in stockpile but im not using them
i stopped producing them now
im gonna put some OP support companies and do world conquest
what specs ?
and i have SO MANY PUPPETS
bro late 1941 isnt late game really
ehhh to me it is cause theres not many countries left
once i kill the allies and japan the game is literally finished
cause there will be no countries
yeah but that takes too long its boring
u gotta build or steal a navy and go across the pacific and hope they dont have 900 tanks on washington
anti-tank โค๏ธ
nah jk anti tank is overrated
i'll fight their tanks with pure inf
idk
say bye to poland
whenever i invade north america or just any naval invasions there is shit supply
mate i dont need a navy
i already have mexico
just put all my troops there and battleplan
i have like 300 of them
and then for the UK i will just idk naval invade glitch them
alt hist is so much more fun
cause in hist i know what to expect
but alt hist i have no idea what any country is doing and thats so fun to me
ig so
czechs are gone
cant take austria yet cause they are in an alliance with argentina for whatever reason
yugo's now
how are u getting wargoals so fast
also why not invite yugo to ur faction arent they commie
oh
also czechs gauranteed the yugo's
and i justified on the yugos in like 30 days
you wanna watch i can share my screen if you want
these wars are so fast
yeah they are dead
can you kill slovakia
BRO THE POLISH STILL EXIST??
iโm a new player
ik i thought you were the other uy for a sec
the bulgarians are surrounded by the red giant
lets count how many days it would take to cap them
oop we gotta get austria too so nvm
shit
why are the germans so strong dude
5 days
its +5 elite
+5 what?
uhh
go to game settings? right before you start playing as some nation
you can buff major countries
bye bye austria
1st time was for Will
2nd time for being sure
is this usually fine
that must hurt
The prime minister of Japan just resigned (coincidentally days after the Japan changes announcement)
did they go monarchist?
usa isnt even in the war yet
yea
they lost their navy or something
i guess i just have a better navy
i mean if u stole from france ger and italy it cant be that hard
medium tanks are gonee
oh shit i forgot to take teir navy's
doesnt matter
the british capped
USA didnt join the war thankfully
now i can focus all my troops on them
now i have to kill the USA and japan
well there goes the british fleet
history repeats itself
say bye to USA (im playing inf only btw no air)
yeah they are definitely dead
i just puppeted america with war reparations and my economy is crazy
is this ok kd ratio for elite +5 axis?
drew a bunch of squiggly lines and called it a day
im soviet
please keep modding
i love this
i don't make mods but sure
I am german
this might be my first world conquest run when i take japan
afternoon people
tf is that horde in the sahara arabia and across the urals thats terifying
yeah that happens sometimes
can i see all of europe
the map looks kinda pretty
my map is more pretty
In general, is it better to puppet the Dutch East Indies or annex it completely?
shit my game crashed as soon as i tried to take a screenshot
its like this
puppet and get resource rights
so you never have to protect it
Wtf?
and u automatically get resources
huh
How did italy push that far into africa
Thanks.
since they are making the pacific islands important
they should make britain suffer for invading italy whiles the suez is lost
rate my map (ignore the random border gore in the middle of europe)
buffed countries had +20% core territory def and attack i think
ohh you buffed italy
and germany
did you buff all of axis
i like it
black water is super cool
btw this is just rt56 and a few map mods and other ai related mods to make it harder
can i see the east
i was the soviets
japan isnt buffed tho
i buffed japan before
they crushed china in like 1939 or smth and started to invade me
hows the air war going
im getting cooked
my shitty inf is encircling japanese tanks ๐ฅ
bro these useless royal navy
a world conquest is when u like annex everything not jsut take over some countries that are powerful..
pushing will be a nightmare
In the traditional sense, if you control all of the world directly, it would be a world conquest.
But we would accept your proposal when you say you puppeted the entire world.
same thing but with nice borders tbh
what chance does a puppeted ai nation stand against uprising against the player
annexing puppets using the reduce autonomy focus for like 4 hours ๐ฅ
or like building in my puppets land one by one or something
btw i also consider every country being puppeted to be a world conquest too tho
just grind some men it will work
its 1942 yet i can do more
you have already lost
demographics will now eat you from the inside
no young men left
they have all been sent to the gutter
nah i can do it
wow, im so cooked, does anschluss happen faster with sheep ai?
its imminent by october 1937
to the mods deleting my amaazing gif you will not be receiving presents from santa this year.
full stop . . . .
.
ofcourse bc the ai is meant to choose the best decisions
but maybe u didnt deploy more divs
I dont celebrate it anyway
bro im so cooked
he knows if you been naughty bro
better watch out for evil santa
wow your life must be boring
what was the gif
send in dms
bro its just prigozihn yappin and yippin
Just modern politics, nothing poggers
how is it politcs bro its just a joke ):
they wont understand bro
Me vs #hoi4-general /s
they think your trying to start a political war
Santa in HoI IV
holy 4
this flags hurts my eyes
is that a mod?
There are some nations, that get some spirit that give ticking daily ideology.
For example when you puppet the Soviets, they will eventually turn back to communism.
And if they don't flip via Referendum, they fall into a civil war potentially dragging you in.
Italy will ask for independence after wars end.
And I think Germany has some ticking fascism.
But these are rather rare and specific cases.
Generally speaking, puppeting won't cause these problems.
Is that German Uganda?
welp ig i have to do a port trick
yo guys are you able to use hoi4 versions of songs for videos?
idk why they would be called new prussian so probably not
although the flag is similar
Game OSTs usually have pretty relaxed permissions yeh
shitposts in #tech-support only
this is peak
yes, uk rework
its honestly the most fun mod ive ever tried
It means your connection timed out
ok
whats the most satisfying country to play as
Will usa get a rework this dlc chat
how do you even get pushed back that far
+5 germany in elite difficulty is pretty hard
oke
how is this even possible ๐ญ
20% of my men dont have guns
what are allies doing ๐ฅ
did you like battleplan or sum?? ๐ญ
yeah
u can see above
it was green at first
so i thought it was working
and it turned red while i was checking what to research
why do you have like 1500 divisions bro ๐ญ
all you need is 250 hold divisions and your good
No ๐ฅ
na its more of a china-japan dlc than a japan-usa dlc
i heard navy china japan and factions will get changes
like axis secure north africa and they get buffs
i spam 6w infantry
shit is this like 300km away from moscow
how many hours do u have
300
that explains a lot ๐ญ
Wtf lmao
I told you you were cooked
its winter now
Get ready to take a seat in power underneath hitlers desk
zhukov is getting publically executed for this one
If you lose Moscow, which you most likely will, try to retreat to low supply areas. That's what I'd do ๐คทโโ๏ธ
im defending well i think i see green lights
Keep cycling your units in and out of combat
bro infantry division has 1k defense ๐ญ
bro why do u have like 1000 divs
wait nevermind i didnt see this focus
are they like 10 width
They're shit
6 width
Where did you see that
some korean youtuber you probably wont know
i unlock order 227 soon
i should be able to defend
Do you have any decent units?
all 6w
Sweet Mary and Jesus
Build tanks
elite difficulty i couldnt research
did i have to give up industry research for tank
Slow โ impossible
Depends on the industry research
should i start now
Dispersed/concentrated industry, machine tools, or construction?
im doing dispersed
My advice would be to research tanks ASAP. You won't be able to push with 6w infantry
allies will come
Can't rely on them all the time
3k cas ๐ ing me ๐ญ
It's graping you? Buddy...you're pregnant at this point
Do you not have an airforce either?
yes
i had them
they disappeared after like 2 months of war
๐ญ
Show me your production
i gave up air force now
Build AA
I think the USSR has aa researched automatically. Strip off like 20 factories off guns, and put them on AA.
but i lack 800k guns
The 228 CAS damage you're taking is a bigger deal
what does this mean btw
Also, the army you're fielding is extremely expensive with nothing to show for it.
15k troops bombed?
That's total cas damage
only 15k died to cas?
It impacts org the most
If the enemy pushes you with 228 cas damage, your divisions just melt.
ok ill put some factories in aa
Bad idea
That gives a lot of org
But u take more hp damage
And i doubt u did industry macro well enough
U didnt use aa too
And what doctrine
And did u upgrade hubs
And what ai is this
industry macro?
Next time there are easier ways to win with pure inf
When did u start building mils
What industry focuses did u take
after 100 civs
What year is that
i did this
You should just completely reorganize the military. 10 gazillion 6w units don't do shit
Did u do the foreign experts decision
Too late
Early 38-late 37 is when to start mils and stop civs
these?
American
And civ experts
Yes
Next time
Too late
Ig ull survive
Maybe?
Also what doctrine
And show 
all gun 20 aa
No support equipment?
yes
Build support equipment
how many factories should i put
Like 30
No
It's been 2 years since By Blood Alone and the League of Nations Embargo Resolution focus still targets the wrong Italy if Italy goes civil war...
this
no wonder they dont do shit
is there any mod that makes autarky requirements be faction requirements? instead of directly owning it
1, thatโs not 6w
2.this is Singleplayer so itโs different
3. No support companies
anything below 10w is horrible
ok ๐ฅ
Because its good org wall
If u know how to use it
๐ how do you get 5x the german losses
But it can be countered
Because its small width
If you are new player what is the best nation to learn the game that isn't any of the big ones?
+5 germany in elite is strong
it isnt
base game germany is easy
no matter how many buffs you give it
ok
U should have made 35.2w instead and spammed that
Send ss
25 infantry?
even 20w with support companies and like 10 tanks can beat germany in vanilla ๐ฅ
U should also have considered going superior firepower
this land lease will help me so much
next time go superior firepower r r
3 inf is a very doable thing
U win by org
doable, yes, practical, no ๐ญ
whatโs even the point
Sfp wtf bro
Best doctrine, dont you dare
Gbp better
switzerland sucks
hello yalls
1 austrian div against 10 helvetic militias be like
Imagine that, to have the irl version of the dunkeque One you Need like, 40+ divs encircled
Yes sfp
What was France thinking to put 40 divisions there
๐
Sfp good
Thats what happens when your communication between armies are bikes instead of radios
lol
any tips to get the nuke one?
Is there any POSSIBLE WAY TO BEAT AMERICA IN 1946???
1948****
Naval invade New York City
Youโd rather fight there with supply
Or Boston
Well i did naval invade and they wiped out half my army
Uhhh skill issue ig
128 divisions to be exact
i was attacking into their cores
0 manpower lost to 8K
Hear me out
not even an encirclement
anyway
that's
i couldnt beat the czechs
a bit underwhelming
you guys can make fun of me
i quit my one austria run because i did something extremely dumb
now we're talking
smh you dont even know china lore
unfortunatly my computer is about to become and IED and playing with this much lag isnt fun
im gonna start a new game
its
looking a little too unified
i sure hope peace and stability lasts in here
I hate the railway going through Manchuria
but he has an exquisite beard
and why are there so many railways
it connects supply hubs
gwr
i usuaully love superior fire power doctrine because of the soft attack but what doctrine is best to use as nazi germany?
right now im using mobile warfare
matters what ur relying on
manuevere gives u hella org on tanks
but if ur inf only then prob sp
i hope some serbian nationalists don't assasinate the austrian prince
idk man seems unrealistic
that could never happen realistically!
Theyre estimated borders anyway
No one had true hard borders through deserted areas back then
Its just vaguely accurate + what the devs found to be visually pelasing
honestly, what's the point of doing this ?
like that's so much more micro if you fight there, all for nothing basically
So you can cross the desert
then why not make a simple corridor instead of this abomination
also, I hope they changed the combat width in there so you don't have to send 4 18w divs on a desert tile to hold it
looked at the whole desert and thought "yeah lets just make it a spiderweb instead of making the whole thing impassable"
