You might have done a decision or focus

[gilded vessel]

how is the soviet union losing to the allies

[pearl flume]

Big ass front + no air force prob

Allies have the habit to kill enemy airfields lol

[zinc light]

How'd you unite the Lowlands and are President

[pearl flume]

[zinc light]

Oh, they have the decision for it If theres puppets right?

[pearl flume]

Nope?

[zinc light]

So it's just a focus to Annex em

[sudden thistle]

That’s the Belgian version

[pearl flume]

Ye, and they can accept

[sudden grotto]

I think Dutch have the Power to invite eu members, and integrate them and then annex them

[pearl flume]

Oh and Sweden just joined the EU awswell

[autumn drift]

[fickle cove]

i'm getting better and better at hoi4

i'm actually quite happy

[limber jackal]

nice

when are you doing tannu tuva world conquest

[fickle cove]

...not THAT good.

i mean i made my first successful paratrooper invasions

[limber jackal]

it was a joke

dw

[fickle cove]

i capitulate countries faster and faster

[limber jackal]

lol

[fickle cove]

i still don't know anything about navy :((((((

[limber jackal]

its simple

just watch some 15 minute tutorial

[fickle cove]

i'll watch it at 2x speed lol

but ok

[eternal palm]

When they increase the base building slots to 100 to correctly apply max factories in state modifiers

Cuz 20% of 25 is nothing

[fickle cove]

no but idk which country to play as rn

someone recommend a country

[eternal palm]

Left Opposition Soviet Union

Make funny gun3 rush and get +25% output from advisors

[limber jackal]

tsarist soviet union

it's the weakest one

so it's the most fun one

trust

[eternal palm]

Thats not a thing

[limber jackal]

it is

its in no step back

[eternal palm]

The maldrossi dont exist

[limber jackal]

they do

its in the no step back dlc

[eternal palm]

Bruh you meant tsarist russia

Tsarist soviet union is not a path

[limber jackal]

yeah

i mean its quite obvious what i meant

you take the tsarist path

[eternal palm]

Terminology is important

[limber jackal]

in the soviet union's tree

[fickle cove]

if i'm playing ussr i'm playing as stalin

[eternal palm]

No it isnt. Cuz there literally was a movement called the maldrossi, which wanted a communist state under the tsar

Check KX's Far east army

I saw that 👀

[limber jackal]

me too

[fickle cove]

no but someone recommend a country pls

[eternal palm]

I literally did 💀

just cuz u dont like it bruh

[fickle cove]

fair

eh i'll play ussr why not

but i'll play as stalin

so thx for the recommendation

lol

[eternal palm]

np buddy

[fickle cove]

it would be funny if i just invaded poland and then germany from the start

yeah i'll just do that

[limber jackal]

best idea is to invade turkey

to get romania

as a puppet

so you shorten the front

i suggest puppeting only the thing that is on the soviet front

cuz hungary might want transylvania

[eternal palm]

God, why do people puppet as russia bruh

[limber jackal]

your puppet will refuse

[eternal palm]

makes no sense

[limber jackal]

and hungary will declare

and germany invades early

[fickle cove]

then i crush hungary and puppet them

[fickle cove]

ah

[eternal palm]

Russia literally gets the best garrison law in the game why puppet. Also u dont really want a shorter front because thats less space the germans can attack

Getting turkey and romania, if you even do it, is only for the civs

Which is actually pretty good I just dont like to do it

[limber jackal]

creepage

[pearl flume]

Do I invite the USA

[limber jackal]

i dont agree

<:(

[limber jackal]

yes

why would you not

[eternal palm]

Yea cuz you dont have the experience I do

[pearl flume]

But then they'd take over faction

[limber jackal]

so?

if you really dont want to

then dont

[limber jackal]

👍

i only have 230 hours

[fickle cove]

i'll play now cya

[eternal palm]

LMAOOOO

[pearl flume]

Nevermind 💀

[eternal palm]

WHY ARE YOU EVEN GIVING ADVICE 💀

[limber jackal]

💀

[eternal palm]

I have 6k hours bruh

and like 1.5k of those on mp russia

[fickle cove]

i have nearly 400

and i definitely spent half that time on mods and stuff

[limber jackal]

cos im just saying based off my experiences with the soiet union what is easier

and dude

literally everyone recommends to do the thing i said

[eternal palm]

Because everyone more or less sucks at this game

[limber jackal]

i doubt bittersteel sucks

[eternal palm]

he kinda does though

[limber jackal]

how tho

his disaster saves are impressive atleast for me

[eternal palm]

his advice is only useful for the noobs, which is stil good, but like he recommends sfp and arty

[heavy vigil]

No?

[limber jackal]

superior firepower sucks

[heavy vigil]

As communist nations you always anne,

Annex*

[limber jackal]

why tho

shorter front with germany should be better

but alright

[eternal palm]

Well good that you know that.

[limber jackal]

arty is ok

[eternal palm]

If ur not confident that you can win, yes sure. But you should be able to hold an even longer front anyway

[eternal palm]

It really isnt

[limber jackal]

i just usually spam the crap out of cas and tanks

for invasion forces

[eternal palm]

The trade off is same stats for more IC than if you didnt use it

[eternal palm]

are u naval invading with tanks or what 💀

[limber jackal]

no? i use marines for naval invasions

[eternal palm]

oh good

[limber jackal]

when i make landing grounds

i put like

4 - 5 tank divs

[eternal palm]

Yes thats how u should do it

[limber jackal]

just let them in brochacho

oh wait

[eternal palm]

Mexico is obviously a european country

[limber jackal]

they are in

im idiotic

and yeah

fr

[eternal palm]

Spansish colony afterall

[gilded vessel]

i agree mexican people are a european country

[limber jackal]

i also usually just paratroop france

cause i mean

i need like 4 cities

and then they capitulate

[eternal palm]

I cba

I go through maginot I win

🐒

[limber jackal]

i cant go through the maginot :(

[eternal palm]

obv doesnt have enough tanks

[zinc raptor]

[devout wave]

wenn jemand Deutsches nach einem chilligen server sucht dm for invite

[fallen vigil]

whys the soviets so strong in the white russian civil war?? i did the trotsky one and it was much easier

[devout trench]

Because you have to go through Siberia

[fallen vigil]

i deadass cant win

this is my third run

[devout trench]

Your army is better because of spirits I think but lack of supply cooks you

[devout trench]

Try with the state support thing decision just snake to the European side

Anything but fighting in Siberia

[eternal palm]

What you're supposed to do is convert the entire soviet army to 1w aa

Then once it starts, convert the divs to cav and snake

It takes a bit longer but is still very easy

also while taking states before the civil war, you wanna snake as far west as possible. Vologda is reachable from the north

[eternal palm]

lol

u could actually form EU

[pearl flume]

Ima go to war with Soviets

[fallen vigil]

whats the best option

[stoic mortar]

Moscow

[zinc light]

the Iraq tree looks very confusing and disjointed, but in reality, all of this is one path

it's not long, its wide lmao

[ember mesa]

Moscow

St petersburg can be naval invaded

[zinc light]

so can vladi

Chita seems such an odd option

[eternal palm]

It doesnt look like you can pick Strengthen Golden Square though

[zinc light]

nah it's not exclusive to the failed assasinationb

[eternal palm]

Weird, it doesnt look like it from the focus path

[zinc light]

agreed, it looks confusing

[primal valley]

I finally got the Military Mastery Gold on my Career Profile, that might have been the most annoying thing to get, from all the rewards you can get in the Career Profile

[gilded vessel]

whats a good breakthrough for a tank design?

[trim pike]

Interesting question

Are u asking what is a good design

[zinc light]

I usually aim for ~300 earlygame, ~500 midgame and 900-1000 endgame

[gilded vessel]

ig

[trim pike]

Or what amount of break is sufficient for a design

[trim pike]

Check pins in #ask-for-help-here

[gilded vessel]

both

[trim pike]

Also in sp break isnt very useful

Any break above enemy attack is wasted

So 1k break is the exact same as 10k

[eternal palm]

Eh I've seen AI get 2k defense once

[trim pike]

(If the enemy doesnt have like thousands of attack ofc)

[eternal palm]

But ye stacking break at the cost of other stats is not a good idea

So armored recon isnt better than rangers in sp

[gilded vessel]

is 30 breakthrough good enough?

[eternal palm]

Per tank?

thats like 300 base break, hell no

Thats nothing

[gilded vessel]

tank design

[eternal palm]

Nah get at least 600

[gilded vessel]

so 50 breakthrough on a tank design is enough?

[eternal palm]

Yep

But with armor clicks and radio 60 is easily doable

[gilded vessel]

i wanted to get 40 soft attack tho

[eternal palm]

Always do armor clicks I have no idea why people dont do them

[eternal palm]

What does that have to do with using radio?

u can use radio, 2 hmgs and howitzer 2

[trim pike]

Show ur design

[trim pike]

Perfectly fine for sp

Can be optimised but stats are there

[gilded vessel]

yeah im just saving it if i get enough manpower

[gilded vessel]

i didnt go total mob a focus or decision made me go

[lapis snow]

[gilded vessel]

focus tree mod

[lapis snow]

breh

[gilded vessel]

well yugoslavia rework

[devout trench]

total mobi + volunteer + women in the workforce = no manpower

[trim pike]

What mod

[devout trench]

thats like a -30% manpower from what you could have

[gilded vessel]

forced to go total mob + not enough pp to go limited conscription

[gilded vessel]

[eternal palm]

Professional officer corps

Your divs grind xp faster

[fallen vigil]

what about this

for defense aswell

[eternal palm]

Static Warfare if you are able to entrench. Otherwise logistical if on gbp and operational reserves if on mass mob

[fallen vigil]

okii ty

[marsh ravine]

Quick improv for LS/FA?

[eternal palm]

True, I do forget about it in sp a lot

[misty fossil]

logi focus

because uh

uh

less supply usage

entrenchment can be neutralised by enemy spy networks

[brittle cypress]

Not that much

Compared to planning at least

[marsh ravine]

Just transfer the state

[misty fossil]

im pretty sure it nukes 90% of your entrenchment with near maxed spy networks

[marsh ravine]

😭

[misty fossil]

yeah im aware of that trick

not using it with ais tho

[marsh ravine]

?

Just give empty states

Not every state will have mils

[misty fossil]

once you handed land over to ai they will never give it back

idk

[marsh ravine]

So u can give a line of them

To ai

[misty fossil]

alternatively just dump 24 tank divisions on their line

HOW DO I STOP BEING REINFORCED MEMED DIQBNFDQ9OFNWE

im doing 30 minutes in hel im too poor for signal companies 😭

[misty fossil]

hi too poor for signal companies 😭 im dad

[marsh ravine]

Smaller divs+ls micro

Is enough

[surreal mist]

mass assault in general has really high reinforce rate, dont need to be mass mob for it

[eternal palm]

.....that's the same thing.

[fallen vigil]

this is the mvp of every achievement run i do

[marsh ravine]

But why would you ever go deep battle over massmob

[surreal mist]

larp

[marsh ravine]

No its not i think they mean just mads assault as a whole

[eternal palm]

Bruh

Deep battle > Mass mob 🔥

[marsh ravine]

Deep battle 20w sitter tanks🔥

[eternal palm]

🔥

[surreal mist]

derp battle is pretty nice in no-disc games, cant rely on mass mob minors to do their jobs in those

[eternal palm]

No u do 35.2 by yourself

[marsh ravine]

In those games u battleplan everyone to death

Thinking is a lie

[surreal mist]

yes but battleplanning people to death gets boring after the first few times, i wanna pretend to think sometimes

[slim nexus]

hi

what should i play

any good mods

but still vanilla hoi4

like not kaissereich or anything

[heavy vigil]

KR is more vanilla than rt56 at least

[slim nexus]

yk what i mean tho

i would play pure vanilla but

i cant afford dlcs

[heavy vigil]

uuhh idk

just go through the workshop

find stuff

[vague sedge]

is it going good for me as germany?

[near schooner]

yup

[near schooner]

what mod

[wanton whale]

Lemme find some more rq

[wanton whale]

Don't ask why I was overstacking carriers

[near schooner]

allat just to ravage and leave

[wanton whale]

The first 2 were against an actual player btw

These 2

[near schooner]

ill never understand navy

[wanton whale]

Eh, I'm an naval enthusiast so, I spent like, so many hours of my life perfecting templates and all that

[zinc light]

Bro ragequitted after one loss

[wanton whale]

I'm pretty proud of this historical encirclement.

[dusky burrow]

2769 convoys in one battle?!

[dusky burrow]

SWEEP THAT NAZI SCUM

[wanton whale]

I was naval invading the absolute hell out of the Japan player to the point he decided to end the game and said I was cheating

[wanton whale]

SUR YES SUR OORAAHH

[sudden thistle]

I got these by accident

[wanton whale]

🔥

[sudden thistle]

Had my entire navy on patrol and I found it

[urban ivy]

time to spam cheap subs and navs

[wanton whale]

It's always by accident. Everytime I hunt for fleets I never ever get engagements - no matter how many ships I have patroling the areas but, the second I just put them on strike force - Boom, engage

[wanton whale]

NOOOO, YOU CAN'T JUST SPAM SUBS TO COUNTER MY PERFECTLY CRAFTED NAVY

[urban ivy]

yes

1 sub / taskforce convoy raid

and my 24k navs

[wanton whale]

This is what I did to that Japan player btw

[dusky burrow]

So many advisors

[daring tundra]

Destroyers are kamikaze ships, small and big boats try to kill other small boats and when there are no more small boats, you attack the big ones

Have fun and don't forget to build a few light cruisers and 15 destroyers with your super-heavy battleship

[near schooner]

and how the templates should be made?

i dont have the dlc right now

but its good to know

[dusky burrow]

3 x light battery 2 + 3 x secondary 2 for CL

[daring tundra]

I generally make cheap destroyers, armed mainly with charges for submarines, then build nice light cruisers

(my finest battles)

[daring tundra]

The cruisers armed with nice quantities of light attack, (if you are playing a major they will get out in no time)

And then the pearls of the crown are the battleships

[daring tundra]

Which I generally just fill them with guns. I want them to take as much time as they need to build ,but they have to exterminate everything that they find

If I am playing a major that can afford it (UK, Naval Germany or maybe Italy), I will use the GD special projects to develop the super-heavy battleship. Incredibly fun

[daring tundra]

They can get a crazy amount of both heavy and light attack (130 heavy attack iirc)

[snow rain]

I kinda miss the old system

was way more fun to watch

I miss the SHBB icon too

[sudden thistle]

What’s that

It looks so goofy to rn

[snow rain]

old naval system

before man the guns DLC

[sudden thistle]

I suppose the lines mean who is getting shot currently?

[snow rain]

yes

[craggy trail]

Do you miss the old air system?

[snow rain]

that I do not

however I miss the 1k planes airwings

[craggy trail]

There was also division suppression where you pretty much garrison divisions all over

That was replaced with the garrison system after La Resistance

[snow rain]

That I liked
was fun to commandeer garrisons to go on the frontline when times where hard on MP games
I remember when they said that the new garrison system would allow to deploy divs with the equipment in garrison... What a waste

[craggy trail]

Oh and back when infrastructure mattered more for supply

[bright arrow]

Is it normal for my Italian puppet to pull me to war with everyone fighting italy when the civil war in Italy begins?

[heavy vigil]

Amazonas..

[soft yacht]

anyone know any good mods?

and paths to go down

[near schooner]

i like eight years war of resistance

[soft yacht]

i have that but never played it

[bright arrow]

Wait a second this makes no sense

When the Italian civil war starts the Italian puppet is still at war with everyone, but Axis Yugoslavia for some reason peaces out with everyone

I think the game is giving the peace out to Yugoslavia instead of Italy

This makes no sense

[fierce mist]

Give me an nation to play that’s fun for the evening to just chill that isn’t Germany soviets or Bulgaria and isn’t very easy but not very hard either like average

[near schooner]

france

[gilded vessel]

The great war redux

[halcyon pasture]

do u guys ever try to do "realistic" peace deals for roleplay?

e.g not taking the commonwealth when defeating the british to keep the game fun

[bright arrow]

Ai is too easy to win against, just cheesing the game and trying to be as OP as possible without any sort of roleplay just takes the fun from the game

I even have the state transfer mod with me, just so i can fix peacedeals or make them more balanced

[sudden thistle]

Yeah

[sudden thistle]

Sheep’s mod 🔥 🔥 🔥

[sweet bone]

but ive seen people do multiple

[dry kayak]

maybe some dlc?

[serene token]

Probably a mod

[umbral agate]

alr

well which should i go for special forces attack

[serene token]

What are you specializing in?

[umbral agate]

amtracts

i was doing marines

[serene token]

Wouldn't the far left tree do?

[umbral agate]

i thought i could do paradropts

[serene token]

It mainly focuses on motorized.

[marsh ravine]

You always go the side of doctrine that gives 10%special forces attack

If you combine with a commando

And inf expert (if its mountaineer/marine/paratrooper) its 40% more stats

[flat barn]

i wanna do a france poland game

it'd feel so good when a france player pushes the rhine i grind the germans in the east and then we both crush them together

[brittle cypress]

French heavy tanks and Poland mass mob is probably the best bet

(It won’t work against an actually good Germany but it’s your best chance)

[flat barn]

i mean against ai germany

i dont ever play multiplayer due to poor organisation from hosts shit wifi and mods being incompatible

usually its just me and a friend

[brittle cypress]

u just said France player

Oh

I see

[ocean vessel]

pluh👀

[dense axle]

lucky yiu for having a friend who enjoys hoi4

my friend got mad because it was too hard

and another because he didnt like the genre

[dense axle]

refunded

[dense axle]

couldnt refund because he played 8hrs

Someone just said the us wouldn't be included in the next pacific dlc , is that true?

[craggy trail]

Hasn't been announced yet

[dusky burrow]

Prepare to hunt the bear?

[sharp sierra]

ugh

[tropic wind]

What are the chances

[sharp sierra]

the welsh thing was so stupid bro

[craggy trail]

China, Japan and the Philippines are the current nations that have been featured so far

[tropic wind]

Philippines without the us doesn't make sense so i think there's a high chance of a usa remake

[craggy trail]

It could be some minor US reowrk

[dusky burrow]

Those are probably doable

[sharp sierra]

the welsh thing was really hard to time

[sudden thistle]

how tf do u do welsh argentenia

[sharp sierra]

so i did the brzil wc

deleted all the equipment and all that that i could

units etc

[cedar latch]

Hmm

[sharp sierra]

then liberated wales and then welsh argentina as a puppet and play as because if you only liberate them then theyre non aligned and cant join the faction

anyways my old brazil country released every collab nation

wh does usa start with 3 units on creation of the collaboration state

shit is so so stupid they kept coming over and taking wales before i could get a 9% strength battalion of cavalry to the island

[dusky burrow]

Oh god

[sharp sierra]

and i am insane and out of my head

[dusky burrow]

How did you get to Wales though

[sharp sierra]

i was the puppet of the blue brazil

we were already at war together

just got 1 convoy to sail my 9% strength horse to plymouth

i deleted all of their stockpile and waited 90 days so the collab states wouldnt have any stockpile to create units

[tropic wind]

Wasting 791.56 MB of storage on the second Brazilian republic saves is wild

[sharp sierra]

😔

[craggy trail]

4 AM in the morning

[sharp sierra]

gosh

[dusky burrow]

Horrifying

[sharp sierra]

the clear timeline of playing till dawn

was a massive game

well not really at those saves

i was trying to take netherlands and they had so many damn dutch east indie units guarding their homeland

i still havet played spain once

probably time to go another month without playing or something

[analog ivy]

these ai tank divs are stacked 😭

which one is better?

im assuming mass charge for attack and guerilla tactics for defense right? but the combat width penalty really sucks lol

[dusky burrow]

RIP

[analog ivy]

yea

[brittle cypress]

? The smaller width is part of what makes it good

[paper echo]

trust no one...not even yourself

[analog ivy]

oh i would of thought less combat width means less troops can be used in battle?

[solemn inlet]

What happened to today's dev diary? I saw nothing on steam or PDX forums about it.

[brittle cypress]

It does but it also reduces the enemy troops too

[analog ivy]

So should i be using guerilla tactics or mass charge then against barbarossa?

[brittle cypress]

For defending, guerilla

Guerilla is like 2nd best tactic in the whole game

[analog ivy]

actually i could just use guerilla for a few months and then switch to mass charge when i wanna push

[brittle cypress]

Yeah sounds good to me

[paper echo]

will prob release tomorrow (i hope)

[ripe slate]

based

[paper echo]

what do yall think next diary will be

[analog ivy]

i have 16 36 width light tanks and i have like 60 mils on tanks so im making prob 30 more

[paper echo]

based map mod

[analog ivy]

ty its really clean

[paper echo]

tfr or tno map?

they look similar

[analog ivy]

i also have a mod that colours puppets

tno map
