its ww1 damit-
Bruh
I thought u did ottomans path
Idk navy meta ww1 but looks good
dreadnoughts
yeah I mistyped, thank you for the help, im researching CAS now
Yeah, fair. If that fuel is going to the AF. In general I think fuel penalties should be more brutal, but that would also be much more obnoxious if things could just get stuck and you couldn’t move them until you fixed your fuel supply
i think its more about game balance and less about realism
Personally I think just nerf strats
Fuel thing isnt an issue if strat bombers weren't just better nukes
Also something to consider: you want cheap as possible CAS, because you will always be losing CAS because of how the math works behind the scenes.
tbf strats were pretty devastating in ww2
so dont research jet CAS ?
Not AN ENTIRE CONTINENT WORTH OF FACTORIES tho
For 40 mils
If you are at that point, you have enough industry to win anyway tbh, so do what you want
jet planes are terrible
Normal jet yeh
Ik axial jet has some uses
And supersonic is v good just future tech
Jet fighters can be okay in some circumstances because of the boosts to agility
I can believe that
I mean surely they will get jet fighters as well?
U overestimate the ai
And their ability to use a designer
You would think that, wouldn’t you?
Yes...?
Spoiler they cant
(They don’t)
At all
Why?
Ask paradox
theyre super expensive and have shit range
Isn't Chiv a dev for Hoi4?
gotta give them an even playing field
Anyway this is ignoring the true answer, which is mothership aircraft
supersonics are good tho
Giving them an even playing field is inting ur industry till 39 and doing 9/3 only
If you wanna fight an ai that is good play sheep's mod, if you just want a hard challenge play like CA mod or something
I usually end up doing it, but again, at that point i know I will win regardless and I can do stupid things like 5 lines of Land Cruiser chassis
me think its very obvious who i will support
is rt56 a good mod
The challenge mods cheat for the ai iirc, but its the best way to make the ai truly difficult iirc
Its v unbalanced
is that the one that sarts u in ww1?
But if you have fun in it you can have fun in it
Nope
i am kinda bored with no dlc vanilla which mod is good
whichever one does that is BRUTAL, it takes hours
1936-1956
its great war redux and is not bad tbh
its a rework of the interwar and ww2 timeline with some early coldwar content included
Its "vanilla+" but its got alot different from vanilla
Infantry is alr so much more op
And iirc tanks r worse
Like the best thing in the game is like a mech shock trooper or something
You can definitely have fun in it but from a balance pov its horrendous
there is one good thing in the mod,
which mod is good for that vanilla+ experience
Its a content mod and imo it does good at that
the turkish tree
Give me my GDRs
Wdym by vanilla+
Better ai? More focuses? More realism?
its good if you dont have dlc
yea
Which one😭
More focueses and realism
black ice 🔥
instead of some alternative ww2 bs that paradox gives
Idk abt realism cos I'm not that into history
nah
yes
so close
Umm ultra hist
you said realism
I think
two more countries
its not even ww2
Is like that
exclude the better AI bit, and add pain and you got the great war redux mod
Old polish industry or new?
Lmao😂
What's the bonuses?
yea about not micro managing
am i wrong-
Idk off top or my head
Realism isn’t necessarily the same as historical, imo.
With cas
you want realism but no micro?
Old gives like 2 Civs 3 mile 5 building slots
But arty might be better in gwr cos of lower gun stats?
I haven't checked thi
i mean realism like historical accuracy and lil more features
New gives4 mils 4 Civs 7 building slots
black ice is the closest youll get to a real life warfare simulation
but its not for everyone
we also have howitzers
in that mod
I swear those r way too expensive tho
Lemme look at the stats (if I have it installed still)
you can use a bunch of sub mods for more flavor if thats what you want
idk about focuses
any suggestions for sub mods
youre gonna need an overhaul for that
huh I can do the confederation instead.. which is better?
the better mechanics collection is pretty cool
but some of it lacks balance
thanks ig
you can look up steam collections
just look up realism or historical
@lucid ivy
in the workshop collections section
Do they give anything other than cores? If not just go for whatever gives the better cores (pop and resources and factories)
you can do both i believe
I dont want to risk that ngl and Bolivar sounds cooler so I will just wait for that
map mods ?
astizels map mod
ah yes a totally realistic military factories to dockyard ratio (blame that sh1tty event)
nation ?
0% chance.
Show me what you're playing as?
ottomans great war redux
and field gun is 2w
something close to this seems aight
1914 tech
i tend to never use howi
no doctrine
good
its horrendous
double the soft
nothing else
literally worse in everything else
and bigger width so its more like only a 1/3 more sof tor whatever
okay thats really shit
i personally dont like how low hp is
but cos def seems so ez to get in this mod making a couple of these
might actually work if u can crit
at least during day time
would make pushing WAT easier
WAY
doom music starts playing
Ultrakill music starts playing
Okay, what game is better, Ultrakill or Doom?
BRO GUN0 IS BASED
quake 2
COMPARED TO GUN1
I'll add Dusk onto that list as well.
ITS 3 LESS DEF AND 1 LESS SOFT
LITERAL FAKE GUN
LIKE 3% STAT INCREASE OR SOMETHING STUPID
yeh ur attack is alw really bad
idk how u crit in this mod
just because of quake 2's soundtrack it clears all of em
what period is this set in lmao? 18-19 century?
ww1 mod
i think air is really good in this mod
because everyones airforce is tiny
yeh it deffo is
also
if u can get around the hp
field gun is broken
idk about tanks
lol
jsut get arty expert for 10?% attack
+inf expert
and u should win
cos then u crit
maybe even have some howi
common ottoman W?
cos like
howis got nerfed iirc
i tihnk if u do 1 howi
they used to be busted
3 arty
rest inf
make it 35w
i think u can get enough soft to crit
and cos defense and break are the same
all ur def passvies become ur break and u NEVER get crit
cos break is rly diff to get in this mod
harder than attack imo
its like 7 less break
made up for passives
and then 12 more soft
yes alot more expensive
but i think with modifiers
u can carry
150 base soft is nice
for 1914
which boats can help me with a land invasion?
capitals they give shore bombardment
like how modern day navies can do bombardments
Awesome thank you
jsut go sit ur navy
which ships are capital
italy not feeling so good rn
next to the tile
guys
heavy cruisre battleship battlecruiser carrier
screens also give it
theres something wrong with my game
its a bug i think
oof forgot france also explodes after ww1 here
Ok I guessed carrier, thank you for the help
kaiserreich ending
... how is RUSSIA more stabile then france rn
(and ofcourse they hate me which is expected)
yep, thats definitely kaisereich
does anyone have time to teach me on why im losing battles?
THE GERMAN REICH DECLARED WAR ON ME AND ALL MY TROOPS ARE ON ASIA
rip?
except for the part that the ottomans are almost stronger then germany
based
yeh like doesnt look bad @patent thistle
Where's Syndicalist France?
U said right side for mass assult right?
10 days until I can sweep the Germans
commune of france are them here
do i use human ai?
bro i dont think u ever crit in this 😭 if they have entrench
i gave them max entrench and i force attack with 40% planning
😭
oh yeah
they get +20 entrenchement iirc
from a single node
F for being weaker then russia
woah it happened naturally
i gave them busted gens 😭
okay i still win but like barely i think
u unironically bounce
if u dont constanty force attack
💀
thats pretty rare
im pretty sure it collapes again the second you recapture france
and they dont reinforce
even if they reinforce they lose all their entrenchement
guys which france should i support?
ik but its like 300 def normally for them
so you only have to fight them once
in 1914?
yeah
idk about 1914 tho
i think its the only way to crit
bros desperate askign bulgaria for manpower lol
yep
pray u dont lose veterancy
but be ready for tons of losses
im borred asf
i think u get screwed
if this happens
u just go push somewhere else
ottomans almost took whole europe
or move divs away to bait ai into attacking u
only if it wasnt their obsession with vienna
actually that could be the play
trvthnvke incoming 🔥
double combat as well
🔥
let them lose entrenchement
cos u can deploy divs on the tile
if u have some in training
attack with them
delete
repeat
hell yeah
and north africa
u never get crit even by tank i think
if u have enough arty
cos every single passive is 10%
immovable object vs immovable object type situation
and it has more def than inf
and some of central africa/east africa (sudan, eritrea)
iirc its 16def on field gun 2 vs 13 def on gun1 (which is 1910 tech but gun2 is 1916 tech)
even then its only like 2 or 3 more def
so then its equal
when u get arty earlier
i think u just dont swap till gun3
or something
so u can go higher on arty
sounds about right
literally gun3 is 5 soft
gun0 is 1 soft
its barely a diff u dont crit no matter what
more italian suffering yay
your attack will be mostly from the arty anyways
oh u can get op reserves no matter doctrine in this
ez win
just pick that
and go like 6 arty or something
THATS WHAT YOU F ING GET FOR TRYING TO TAKE LIBYA
doesnt sound very balanced
sorry its 2 soft so the increase is even worse
gun3 is 19 def
and 1918 tech
whats gun0 dzf
arty 3 is 15 def
def
abd 1917 tech
yeah
inf is literally just hp brick in this
cos arty also gets more def
cos of passives
what kind of passives are we talking about
its being a while since i played thus
worst case scenario
research
oh
defense is not a problem in this mod
yeh not at all
but my point is arty outstats inf in EVERYTHING
ofc it does in break
yeah
arty in ww1 was the queen of the battlefield
i wanna see how much i lose if i go 200hp
and like 5 arty
or something stupid
instead of 400hp
who cares about hp
idk
i mean it can only be offense divs obvi
itd be like making tanks but earlier
only had to downgrade my hoi4 version to a bolivar beta
yes and thats why it sucks
they removed all the fun paths
like backstab
cant force attack but thats not bad for 0 doctrine
yeh u have to cycle
u lose nothing @terse ether
i dont care that these focus trees are like 5 focuses long, its the nostalgia
i still have a slight bit more
than their attack
so its fine
as long as its nto a player lmao
last time i played it i was the ottomans
won the first balkan war
but the game didnt let me keep anything
so i crashed out
i hate when you have the chat open in multiplayer and you press the up arrow to move it selects your previous chats
this means like hp might be fake
so u can do whatever
like i lsot nothing
maybe try to force attack
i wonder what happens if i force attack
yeah
im training up to have +25% stats
cos u can just do the thing with manpower
i think
to keep xp
0 clue
but 200hp
i was getting crit a tiny bit
didnt matter
lost like 9 arty
thats ntohing
thats 22.5ic
and then another 19ic of howui
howi
maybe they did it to make arty more plausible?
idk if im messing something up
The Gods of Olympus have abandoned me.
yeah
like 2w
defense
break
balanced soft
okay yeh jsut train
560 soft
yeh arty is the way forward in this
I LOST 46 EQUIPMENT
THATS NOTHING
THE OTHER 3 BATTLES WERE 0 LOSSES AT ALL
bro
im not losing hp
from force attack
💀
GER HAS ARTY EXPERT
force attack but like 3% planning
okay so abt 200hp is 200 soft
is what u r trading in template
and hp doesnt matter
youre not getting crit
and hp is useless for some reason
probably nuked it if u dont get crit
like the hp loss
yes it is
im losing strength
on the low arty divs
so higher hp
cos i get crit by one of their divs
20% strength loss in ttotal
battle aint evne over
60% strength loss spread across 3 divs
im guessing no brk
but u did get crit earlier
if u have like no inifnite hp
ik
how do i transport troops into england? i have carried out the orders and i'm pretty sure 400 convoy ships are enough lol (also i have no idea how i got those 10 divisions there)
here
yeah
this is the div i use for reference
it only increases your damage taken by 60%
if you don't take much damage in the first place then it isn't a problem
ahh
so just arty v good cos ur break and def goes super high
so u take less damage
you got crit by about 100 attack here
nah you can still die 
break isn't damage immunity
all the dmg went into org?
but its less than getting crit?
could be the case?
like if u do inf bricks
how do i tell someone that declaring war on czechoslovakia is worse than doing the focuses
"do you want land for free or do you want to pay for it"
arty gets crit too, since it has less break
he says he doesnt want to get 700k troops beacuse he wont have enough resources to supply his old troops
are those icons on the stats a mod?
Hmm
idk which one it is
oh
as many to fill combat width?
ok, let's assume it has more break, you still can't do pure arty very often anyway,
100 uncritted attack is still lotta damage on 30 HP
fair enough
is this div not fine?
that's fine
if u force attack
200 HP is good
u get enough
break
to not get crit
BARELY
just force attack
whenever u attack
in vanilla isnt that just liek horrendous?
just for reference
sir yes sir
you can't have too much attack in GWR anyway
as long as you don't grind big divs vs their big divs, you can never take too much damage in GWR
albania
should i ignore this odd thing?
aight thats nice
unless u r at 0 manpower its fake
What even is manpower
try conscripting children
bacon has a good point here
and even then u should know u r at low manpower
even if it nears 0, i always ahve children
women
and handicapped individuals
who i can draft
good luck fr 🙏
it isnt even gonna be that hard-
oh wait is that kaiserreich
Alles klar.
aftermath of great war redux central powers victory
Hoi4 - 23 hours - Insane.
happends when i leave the game on and dont turn off my laptop
schizo hoi4 atp
oh they done for
happend to me at a far worse scale for example
how does your pc take it
i dont know
all i know is i have it for like 7 years a this point
why is turkey part of the permanent UNSC
bomb bomb bomb
bomb bomb turkey
guess what country i am (its up there and not turkey)
your name is bacon
and you have BST as your tag
so my final guess
is USA
dang
any tips on how i can get this fast
today is my first time ever playing
i know you need azerbaijan for the oil and macedonia for the chromium but i dont have a tutorial
just world conquest
simple, you dont even go that path
fuarrrkkk okay
if you dont wanna deal with it and cant take stuff fast go left path
the prioritize economic growth?
They basically give you buffs but First lots of goods debuffs
if irl had a world tension meter like hoi4 whats world tension rn and who made most
ive capitulated belgium, but im still at war with belgian congo?
capitulate them
why are there some multiplayer servers 1/9999?
open multiplayer servers with no player cap but only host in them or something idk
doesnt show
do you wanna join
uhh i already turned off my pc sorry
what is available
pretty much every major
nah my laptop aint suffering
help
i capitulated them
but
i didnt get the peace conference
💔
Check who's a major in the war
are you sure?
yes
Then you'll need to cap the allies
indeed
im restarting my hoi4 now
And one of the allies is definitely a major
Whats the issue
So you'll need to cap them
Aren't you at war with them?
I dont know what the issue even is
how morally acceptable would you guys think is it if i used the console to murder austria?
deserved
no they joined the allies but im not at war with them
Was france in a faction?
i invaded france
uhm
@foggy onyx what does the war screen show?
how do i get rid of that
Capitulate uk
Yeah
im not at war witzh them and im democratic
Theyll get called in
Most likely
drawing mussolini rn
Does anyone have any good medium tank templates?
ze little bit overkill?
a little bit overkill hans
only ze very little
ja es ist nicht zu much
go into youtube and search "hoi4 tank tutorial" and itll probably help 👍
anyways, its time to die
How are you green?
(i let them build up troops on the border cause i am nice)
sultan path
Aren't the ottomans like a deep red?
must have been the wind..
Is that KX or KR?
TGW
"great war redux aftermath: central powers victory" apparently or something similar
Oh ahaha your already after the war
Ight
Rate the borders 😂
I just saw Poland, divided italy and Ukraine and assumed it was a ww2 mod
just because its quite opinion based in the discord i think
best ive seen in years
Italy must be crying that they lost Dalmatia to the croats
😂
Next is the soveits but I tried they have way more than me 🤣
"i have everything and nothing" lol
So gotta buff up my army
The whole point of the war is getting dalmatia, only for it to be the only thing they are missing, so yes accurate
they have the entire levant and greece and south france but just not dalmatia
There italys puppet so I mean
Technically they have it
Why does it say I have 0 divisions assigned to my naval invasion when I literally created the order with my army
give them 5 years and they'll annex it then
I have naval and air supremecy
max planning or lacking tech
delete all orders and try again
lleft click port -> right click landing area -> enter
What would yall say is the best way to take out late game Russia?
Have you researched naval invasion tech?
with the divs selected
also wouldnt suggest tanks for landing
Or do you have any other naval invasions planned?
get marines or infantry on the beach then the tanks
1st level only allows 10 total divisions assigned to naval invasions
Oh ye I do
to norway
Thats why?
If you only have level 1 invasion tech, then you can only have 10 divs at a time assigned
So when you create other naval invasions it can't assign any new units to it
i'm cleaning up my Italy save for achievements as fascist italy, got 2 already and now getting 3rd with control entire US but i found bug lmao this DLC is almost year old and it's bugged 
HEY, ITALY, LEAVE ALBANIA OR I AM GONNA TOUCH YOU
cant wait to get this
Oh that kinda screws me up
thx
You can increase cap by upgrading to level 2. I think the lvl 2 cap is smth like 40 divs
ok time to get this bad boy 
Ye doing that rn
thats for weight cap
eventually no matter what you reach a max planning cap
welp
oh right, forgot about you ukraine. anyways.
also there is a reason i keep the console on, TGWR doesnt allow dam puppeting.
austria hungary has like 2 army groups attacking serbia 24/7 with all red bubbles
with one single blow
dont think the habsburgs are feeling so well
not sure if my navy can kill the royal one
Doubt it
Also get the subs out of that fleet
i'd pee myself 👍
i don't understand the navy
Thats why I told you what to do
No?!
They kill convoys
They should be in a super fleet cos they kill positioning of your surface ships
wat a super fleet
alr
put capital ships and stuff in one fleet
and submarines in another
make submarines convoy raid
surface ships do everything else
roger sir
who do u think is gonna win this war
miracle on the vistula 2 the electric boogaloo
OH YES
YOU'RE RIGHT
1.4m field MP focused on russia
why is poland selling so hard
"cheap" "40 width"
Dont listen to ai
this is incorrect
10 mech and 10 arty is 50w 💀
i love when ai is dumb and can't do math
AI obv doesn't know that
What about 10 mech/motorised and 10 artillery though?
It's source is also reddit so it's basically useless
but actually i need a off div for benelux for pushing germany and france
Yea Idk either, good template on paper
:clueless;
😂
discord exists to make all the teens bisexual
wont it be like 20 org?
10 line arty is crazy work
and help new players to the game obviously
real glass cannon
Actually maybe cuz 10 mech is a lot of hp
lets see how bad this could be
What?
And an expensive one at that
i said nothing about the hoi4 server
ah ok
anyone to play multiplayer?
hey guys i have a question which dlc should i buy if i wanna play hungary or yugoslavia?
i mean it aint horrible
my new puppets and my old romanian puppet
Outdated is main issue
yea
And it obvi doesnt know the width but all the width is wrong
the basic infantry is OK, but the rest gets worse and worse, you are f ing greece-
44w was good
macedonian empire
Tommykay meta
Its ai
its been ages i heard from them
The ai doesnt know anything
lets be host the second you done the formable you will leave,
14/4 💀
cause you basically killed the world mostly
25w
AI is truly stuck in 2017
Lmao
me think thats enough of that ottoman game
Well at least the support companies are good
ngl the first time i tried macedonian empire i went democratic by accident 😭
Lol
lol-
got stuck at hellas since i did the crush facist decision
neuron activation
Nice encirclement
Nooooooooooooooooo
Any mods?
hi
what tanks are u using blud
Costa Rica
didnt say central america
ifv and spg go brrrr
Its above Colombia so its north america to me
okay let me be more specific: any european country, + usa, argetina and maybe red / yellow china
ohohoho! they accepted
Albania
okay
hnmm
okay before i continue just know im very picky with countries
and albania is not it
something with content
Yugoslavia
Democratic
you should have annexed some
can he win?
i did
when is the new dlc releasing?
was i too nice to austria in the peacedeal? (they are my puppet anyways)
ooo
someone say a country (from base game) and i'll play it
(if it has a unique focus tree)
ah you were gonna say bulgaria?
perhaps
i pulled the pin out of the grenade, ON PURPOSE
crimea wasn't ukrainian until 1950-something
it was part of the russian ssr
annex all
annex all? never even heard of it!
cheese pizza
Mfw there's literally a 20+ player mp game going on right now 💀
U just in the wrong channel
for me nothing pops up in multiplayer section
all just 1/9999 servers for whatever reason
Omg
Don't check the game, check discord bro
This focus is kinda useless
had to murder italy rq for trying to take a piece of albania
op
