k
almost 100 mils on light tanks
yes
i dare you to go to free trade
no im already running out of steel lol
i already have to trade 😭
change trade law
just went to limited export
good
looks so clean
eh its not bad but sure
i barely researched anything
its just meant to push infantry and encircle stuff
im mainly going for cheapness
like im making 30 of these a DAY
This is the most expensive light tank ever
16 IC LT oof
No sloped armor, swap small cannon for hmg
that's similar to an average medium
hull mounted lmg?
Heavy hmg yeah
this?
Test if Christie is cheaper for speed than the engine clicks? Don’t actually know
oh its R56
where do i research heavy mg for tanks??
the hull LMG isn't great
Gargon run for Mandalore
oh you mean this??
Yee
No that’s the main gun
oh im dumb
there we go
Also, research maintenance 2 for the future, you can put on easy maintenance which makes them even cheaper
still very expensive for a light, you’d be better off doing mediums
typically armor skirts is better than sloped too
If your light costs above like ~7 ic give or take mediums are just better
ooooh
no way i could cut it in half just with easy maintenance
since ai is taking forever for barb i should be able to get easy maintenance before it starts
does rt56 have the same MIOs?
you should be using the mystiche tank refurbishment plant one for production
it has insane bonuses
way better
this one?
Oh my that's expensive
Yeah
production bonuses my beloved
WHAT IS COLUMBIA DOING THERE??
my game is laggy, i wonder why
honestly is it just a smart idea to just aggresive attack mass charge the germans?
like they are gonna run out of equipment and manpower at some point
same as me but i have like 150 more troops
how many in total?
346
i used console commands to make an example you could be making a lot more. it's at half efficiency but still making more than the line you had at almost full
me with poland defended western poland and killed like 12 M germans lol
they had scraping the barrel and had 0 mp
wait aren't those t-34
and keep in mind this cap is still a lot lower than you can get it
wait what is the production efficiency cap and how can you get it
soviets get final tools 5 super early, + bonuses from MIO, + american experts bonus from focus
here's an image i stole from reddit
i think they have all the bonuses?
plus the tanks themselves are made cheaper by mio traits and all that
steam is down AGAIN
Esports Alta 🔥 🔥
okay but how can you get the efficiency cap higher
wait do they not have american experts
whatever
it's around it
now im just gonna hold until i get my supply back and then push again hehehe
with... research? and getting the bonuses for it?
.
i don't understand what you're asking
HOW CAN YOU GET IT HIGHER
definition of insanity
wut
Are those TD’s with or without HMG?
researching in the industry tab and focuses
Wait it’s from Reddit nvm
bruh you got your MIOs the wrong way round on the tank. Use refurb on the production line
i alr know that
i thought there was another way
why aren't you recycling the old equiptment to turn it into new equiptment??
some countries get more. USSR can get over 125% iirc
easy
bro 1 important thing from the game is making old equiptment new and most people don't know how to do it crazy
what
shit i pressed the wrong tank and messed it all up
recommend mods that arent tno, tfr, rt56
nooo i have to wait for it to go back up 😭
old world blues, pax britannica
whats this pax britannica about? (well i think about the uk)
Non historical is so unserious bro what did I do to deserve this
Project Valachord (if you like navy)
i dont have the dlc😔
alt-his dieselpunk(?) tech
i miss having the dlc subscription
im gonna try it
Sad
Red dusk, red flood
you see that house where the red arrow is a green house with 2 arrows circling it click it and that will bust your tank production (in a good way)
wanna 1 v 1
TY DADDY
HOW HAVE I NOT KNOWN THIS BEFORE??
in what year are u
Finally got that coding problem done.
equipment conversion is useful, yes
this is so OP?
its not gonna be forever tho it will end when your old equiptment is done
and theres nothing else
i have like 300k old equipment
im fine twin
if i was you i would also waited until the green bar will get fully green
no it's reusing your tanks not all of your old equiptment specifically light tanks
yea ik
i taugh him that not you
i kinda wanna 1 v 1 someone
One v one Baba Trois.
1v1 the ruler of Tibet in a fist fight
crazy encirclement
What about me 🔥
theres like 70 divisions there
I barely do navy wdym…
you got that tag
Clearly the Copy of admiral nelson
Sub 3 = invincible metal shit
if ur industry sucks and u can't afford that
:d
just uhhhh
their manpower is suffering
just go play a major
which is a good sign
LOL
how good are you at hoi4??
I play some here and there
make a whole division full of motorized anti air 😔
i need to get better in infantry and navy
but tanks and air im good there
and support aa + armored engineers
I played half my time in hoi4 not making custom divs
I used the preset ones
LOL
so you never
test
new divisions??
thats a stupid decision
truly was
i be experimenting
now my tank divisions have 1000 soft attack!!!!
thats cap
ratte bro ratte
unless that they are impossible to produce
Ok?
No?
1000 soft attack
in what year
idk when I get ratte research
well also depends what you mix them with
Just make your div stronger, good general + use terrain buffs + cas and air superiority
ratte gives 500 soft alone
Intel too
i can just make the whole division fully of tanks
Its easily achievevable
And if you do it right you can get a little below 1000
we talking about the division itself
To get destroyed by some divs...
just ratte ALONE gives 500 soft
10 tanks 8 amphib tracks
ratte??
yes
Super heavy tank
true
the special project
If you aint gonna use buffs for your battles then its Just a High casualties war and nothing else
i be using flamtrowing tanks motorized divisions and medium tanks
OH BECAUSE I ALWAYS USE MEDIUM TANKS
Heavies r better
no
Yes
Amph Better fr fr
Medium flame tanks are the e best
mediums can still reach 1k soft
But heavy tank is best normal tank
cap
prefer getting both quality and quantity
Heavy spg + mech >>>>
but on multiplayer matches
my tanks usually get 500 or 600 soft attack and 400 hard attack
Liar
what
That’s so little
My mountaineers have more stats
And heavies can get 800 soft with another 700 hard
bro im experimenting
Thing is heavies are cheaper and better
plus i use medium tanks remember
Watch him make the tanks wrong and call them bad
i don't
im expert on tanks

yet you don't know what a ratte is
i don't
I’m having fun forming the EU as Germany while the USSR is jumping leaders like crazy
There on leader 3 now
that one support company gives u 500 soft bro
ur so missing out
i haven't played hoi4 in a while
it's boring with AI
it's so easy to whip them
Sheep’s mod
Sheep’s mod
Sheep’s mod
Sheep’s mod
:3
??
Send me a screenshoot
I'm on mob
yeah
bro how do u consider urslelf a tank expert in hoi and not know what ratte is
it's so vital
because alot of people like my tanks module
ur tanks probably have 100 reliability
sheeps mod makes it so ai finally makes good divisions, good planes, good ships, and generally have more strategy
actually 70 or 60
100 reliability is too much
i mean its good
but not that needed
your tanks prob be exploding in battle
32 realibiality
no wonder
why u have that much soft and hard attack
that way everybody can
if I just give them good supplyand terrain the reliability won't matter
reliability is only when ur attritioning
true but you can't always count that you will have good supply
I baby my tanks
Ye
I make like 20 tanks and stop
U can
Just don’t go into supply dead zones
Duhhh
true true true
My last tank had 13.3% reliability
Show it
never have trash supply
Except some parts in the Soviets but that’s the Soviets
wait
whats wrong with the cannon?
howitzer is beter
oh i guess if you're in singleplayer
for sp
yeah
i have a hotwizer
but i have sheeps mod so i have to use the cannon
yeah that is single player
or the 40 thousand allied tanks in 1942 d-day will obliterate me
you can't put more than 1 hotwizer on tanks
oh my lord
the SMALL CANNONS
replace them with heavy mgs bro
the 2 small cannons
bro I THINK MEDIUM TANKS CANNOT GET HEAVY ONE'S
next to ur fuel barrel or whatever
and that was monhts ago
MACHINE GUNS
NOT CANNONS BRO
my tanks are better now
time to kill this mf
with a spanish NKVD agent
yup yup yup
what's the soviet path where they balkanize?
idk ask a Soviet player
White
Trotsky, you don’t really balkanize
you more decentralize
The White do...
Trotsky doesn't balkanize you bro
the soviets are currently in approximately a dozen civil wars right now
in the civil war if you take too long
Dayum almost 9 hours streak
trotsky trotskyze you
yeah but he's talking about the one that does it automatically
you release some satellites
Wha da hell
it blesses you with Trotsky's grace
there’s no true balkanization path
u must not have the dlc
PERMANENT REVOLUTION
they're called the "provisional russian government" right now, if that helps at all. there's been small chunks rebelling and breaking off since they started the original civil war
that's the whites
As i said. Whites path.
I do there’s not really one that completely decentralizes the Soviets unless that’s under the right opposition
very interesting conversation
"hey bro if we fire we will kill eachother, these tanks are expensive. let's give the government a break yeah?"
jet engine on tsnk
tank
china just had to hold on for a few more days
NAS on tanks
"Ferb, i know what we're going to do today!"
W

Ye
800 trapped in nanjing i think
guys i need help with the game
Really cool movie
the ottoman empire from temu
Wait a second since when was oswald mosley a leftist 😭
What is this local police force non core manpower modifier? I have military governor set as my occupation law everywhere as you can see from its modifier in the image, and the local police force occupation law doesn’t seem to have a manpower modifier listed even if I did have it.
why do you have military governor everywhere
Down bad for manpower.
isnt local police force better? just use spies to reduce resistance if its high still
Also, I’m running mass assault doctrine.
what
military governor is one of the worst for manpower
The 8% bonus to non core manpower adds up to 10% base without compliance.
the -30% manpower on local police force means 30% less manpower is used on garissons
so that means military governor uses 30% more manpower on garissons then local police force
With the 5% recruitable population from mass assault and 10% from service by requirement that means I will get 1.5% non core manpower.
Against?
sure but local police force is better still
idk
Compared to .3% with no military governor not including compliance.
Bruh
uh its me or alt + right click doesnt work anymore
That 30% less manpower on garrisons is not making up for it having 5 times more non-core manpower base without compliance.
Especially if I take larger states.
Or Chinese ones.
Actually wait. Is military governor 8% more non-core manpower, or an 8% modifier to it?
Lowkey
How the hell do I make a functioning navy 💀
I got like 100 hours on the game and still have no idea how the navy works
lol only 100
yuh
I got almost 3000 hour and still strugglin with navy
yes and no
Cause I just put my stuff on strike force
we getting a navy update soon, its kind clunky
Looking it up it’s only a modifier.
Is local police force or liberated workers better?
the question is first why do you have a navy
starter navy that I get
I don't really make ships tbh
just switch between local police force and military governor and look at your manpower. when you use local police force if you have alot of garrisons you can gain like 200k manpower instantly
do you start with the largest navy in the world
yeah only 3-4 nation can do navy otherwise its only for fun
dont need em
yeah then it's useless
Which are they
UK
and what
for 99% of nation navy mean get the sea superiority for a second only to drop troops
Yeah I was mistaken. I thought military governor gave 8% more non-core power rather than an 8% modifier to it.
yeah cause 8% more non core manpower sounds crazy
japan usa italy
ah
there is tier 2 nation navy like portugal greece and sweden too
only because you got home ressource really
I see
the only downside to local police force is that you dont quiet down resistance as much but if it gets really bad you can just use spies and set them to root out resistance it works really well
Navy only Luxemburg world conquest
Do you have any idea what that .5% local police force non core manpower thing was in the image (it was not due to the occupation law which was not equipped at the time and it is not a feature of).
just martial law for like 6 months then set civilian with an agent suppressing resistance
Why these so expensive for..
idk it doesnt really matter if i was you i wouldnt be thinking about any of this too much lol
just set conscription level to extended and dont spam so much troops
focus on quality not quantity unless you are the ussr or something
I am Tanna Tuva.
I’m just interested because I’ve never seen that modifier before.
does it count if i use divisions only to get ports by mid 38?
No. You must use only navy, naval bombers are allowed however
greed
sounds about right
what really matters is the compliance
what is that map mod?
Wait until the next sale at around the end of the month
U have enough compliance
To enable the modifier
Its separate from the occupation law
Does it add just a .5% modifier to non core manpower in the same way military governor adds an 8% modifier or is it something else?
It adds 0.5% to the service by requirements 10%
So for that state is is treated as having a recruitable population of 10.5% before the non-core debuffs?
No
Its after the non core debuffs
Its always after the debuff
So you are guaranteed .5% recruitable population in the state in addition to normal non core manpower?
You just gotta be successful.
are there any other infantry combat widths that are better then 18 width in certain scenario's like if you're at war with china?
also is line arty ever good like in any situation?
theres alot of people that recommend using it and alot of people that say to never use it
add 5 line artillery to every division
Yes
Basically 5% more mp for that state
In that current situation
fr
what country are u
interesting
poland
like i know line artillery is bad for org and combat width and is also expensive but like why do people still want to use it?
or i should say the Polish Empire
more light attack?
yeah but all of the negatives outweigh the only benefit of light attack
it seems convenient
I mean like, take the opportunities you have.
((seems)))
when the republic of egypt declared war on us which caused us to be at war with the allies, but fdr still gives the speech that the american people were wronged -_-
Wow
ez
Helloing Tari
hallo
POLSKAS
Cool.
And I respect you for this mate
Although not them use useful in this run since I ended up coring the lands anyway.
ty i suffered a lot in the spanish civil war
Yo ww3 bout to happen Poland did a nato article 4 after russias attack an now a couple hours ago sent 40k troops to the Belarusian border and closed the border airspace and nato is sending more troops not to mention stocks have increased 🤣 which is another sign
Can’t wait for hoi5
Ay I’m waiting for hoi5
Aye but No real world politics mate
present day
this but instead of gta v its hoi4 and instead of rockstar its paradox
I'm gay I don't need to talk to women
is ts good
Not really politics? Politics is about candidates or organizations that have big opinions war is war especially when it basically involves every European country 😂
Bi I’m a guy and my husband is a guy where both in the army
that works as well
also thanks for your serves
hitler is kinda different
my Dad was in the Army a great Honer it is
Smash
the us
I didn't see that.........rest in peace
add shinzo abe to japan
and then add Gerry Adams as the Leader of the UK
LMAO
the universe where mao zedong is trotskyist
Same
Why do you Love Trotzky so MUCH
You dont know something about me...
the reality is
I AM LEV TROTSKY
Why does the integralist Brazil flag gotta be so ugly
Hope S&P 500 Will have another bad time like last time lol
May Wilhelm IV free germany from this 💔
how do i fix this
Take the whole US
i'll probably have to take some facs off tanks
lot of aluminum and rubber
revive wilhelm 2
hes the only one for the job
Leave the old man near salahuddin grave, the new generation shall take the throne 🙏
🧢
how do i make a good medium tank template
allies got tired of the japanese having all the fun
surely this is enough breakthrough
the new generation is mid
they got no good mustaches
cannon or howitzer
🧢
But surely they shall bring prosperity instead of painting their hands with the Blood sacrificed for the pride and glory of the tradition
Cannon for killing tanks, howitzers for killing inf
honestly germany should become a monarchy again
And leaving the Power to some random dude? Hell nawh, maybe a costitutional one
nah bro wilhelm is not a random guy
i think im cooked
Leave the ded man inside the coffin
i mean his heir
He suffered enough in his life
we need germany to be a monarchy so that wilhelms corpse goes back to germany
Hmm? His heir aint named Wilhelm wdym
just have one of his heirs run for office in germany
and win
Get gud
Skill issue
George Friedrich sounds good tho
Kinda
British
he has to have some links to some people in germany
if one of his heirs just runs for parliment or something and wins then wilhelms corpse can leave the netherlands
The Dutch Will take a far Better care 🙏 a guest Is Always treated Better than the people living in it
we killed churchills son
Hover over your manpower stats on the topleft
It'll show how much manpower you currently have in the field or in training
Goodmorning*
It's worth the hover for 2 secodns for tooltips
Whats ur favriot nation and ideology with that nation to play (vanilla with DLCs)
Ya
so i accidentally gave myself a ridiculous radar coverage
can see all of germany's troops from here
Anybody know how long justifications last before they expire?
lovely
60 days before they expire
If the war goal is from a focus, it's permanent
I use a mod that gives me practically gives me instant tooltips. Great for big mods that have a lot of lore even on generals
looks like the german generals from one of nathan hale's hazardous tales books
thanks clippy
It's apparently after this guy in vanilla hoi4
what the hell is france doing
If they have Napoleon thats normal
And maybe Germany will Take Care of them
napoleonic war ass marching
really? never seen that
Just Cut them off
they literally wont stop marching forward
GET SOME DIVISIONS THERE
Lmao
Tbf it is coded as basically any non-stalinist communist nation is more likely to join the International
lol
Awesome tysm
Yaay I formed this as Kuwait
Napoleon ahh march
But looks like Napoleon 3 can't hold a map as well as his ancestor
like this napoleon?
His book about ww1 is what made me obsessed with Austria Hungary for 5 years
kawaii hirohito
Austria hungary is so fascinating
Both look like a similar straight line to a major city, key difference is that Napoleon 3 is pushing to Rostov instead of Moscow and that it in sure it won't work as well as in the early 19th century
well it didnt work for real napoleon
True
"living off the land"
Just go into their homes and take their food
the russians made sure to eat all the food right before burning moscow down
XD
Btw Kuwait is way easier than I expected
Just beg everyone for convoys and lend lease them to the UK
Idk I didn't look at his name
Don't care about random ahh Kuwaiti generic leader with no traits
someone should check in on the japanese
what mod is that4
is there really anything i can do?
no
do not ask the hirohito what he did behind the stage
EaW
Looks like you played ruzzia and afterwards switched to Ukraine bot
Noway you made so many armies
i just had a thought
can you play as the french state during french civil war in gwr?
or can you only play as the republic?
forgot i did this
XD
who y'all think gonna win
Yeah subs are the best
french subs can clutch it trust
alr
Depends if the subs are good but subs are very good especially for their cost
every single submarine got sunk and the crew drowned.
the schnorkel
Sad
Just spam cheap naval bombers then
Yes it is very important
Nothing the AI can do
swore i had anechoics somewhere
i AM the german navy
Also build max level radars along the coastline
they sunk my convoys.
Who needs convoys you can always produce more, just destroy their navy using 2 billion of cheap naval bombers along with max level radars
rocket
good idea
let me try that
who need cannon when big rocket
I always do that
Does anyone else like playing small nations solely to defend against much larger neighbors
place your bets
do you?
I love playing nations like Belgium or Austria and killing 2 million Germans while only losing 20k guys
I did that as Austria and Germany(2 separate games) once I secured mainland Europe
Yes
Also don't forget about fighters
It's not exaclty viable in multiplayer, but it's really fun in single player
I like playing small nations like Luxembourg or Kuwait and doing that without paratroopers
The only problem with nations like Austria is that they're so weak, even with the best set up possible, you may still get stomped by some bad rng
Eh, I'm never a fan of blobbing out in those defense heavy games.
My final goal is always WC
I'm more interested in single handily wiping out a generation of a nation's young men while barely lifting a finger.
I let the Americans or Soviets deliver the killing blow
Habsburg path is insane, you can get all of central-east European countries and their armies by 1938
I did that as Communist Hungary
This may be weird, but I like doing it as democratic/communist paths.
Was my first successful defence
zoom
I didn't know what I was doing
Defend the democracy XD
drop a nuke from vienna to moscow and back within 3 hours (i don't have any nukes)
XD
do you think the right side will win or the left
XD
Right always win, because it is right
correct.
okay who's planes are these
Hi
its '50 and you're flying planes straight out of '36
Right is to weak left wins always
still trying to figure this out
your right
the entire fleet got sunk
You mean he’s left?
no i mean he's up
that breakthrough could be better
can i see your infantry template
yo
i think im losing
ngl
interesting
whats the main use of paratroopers in hoi4? I mean especially multiplayer
stealing VPs as quick as possible
waiting to start
ww3
its about to turn '51
how is that useful? wont the paras be rounded up and destroyed behind the lines
im gonna tag over to the soviets and declare war on turkey or finland
they're both guaranteed by the brits
not if you capitulate them first
then the enemy just retakes the province
Paratroopers are used to capitulate france 😹
wait so in mp u can force a victory by taking another player's vps?
if you have enough paras you can basically instantly bring the enemy to their surrender limit
that's
that's how capitulation's always worked
i dont recall this from hoi2; in hoi2 vps werent even important in mp
look at unc back here playing the originals
haha no
works like that
nah i havent played since hoi2 and ive decided to start playing hoi4
so im basically a huge noob
if japan over here loses 81% of their VPs they'll capitulate
that's basically it
GIVE UP ALREADY
yes but if japan was a player, would they be forced to
or are u saying the ai japan will capitulate
im fairly certain its automatic no matter player or ai
because i got capitulated once by the ai
didn't ask me
interesting
im gonna
i tried to invade japan once in 1943 as usa in a massive mp game; i nearly did it too but the german player sent almost the whole luftwaffe to the home islands and thwarted me the prick
I once got capitulated as poland.
wait
shit
i mean
I ONCE GOT CAPITULATED
BY POLAND
can u use paras in this to drop onto the province enemy units are retreating to, thus deleting them when they arrive
