[eternal palm]

THis focus has nothing to do with the carlists, they can still spawn

[analog ivy]

im trying to get achievements

[winter urchin]

Do you use RT56 RP too?

[analog ivy]

i play rt56 all the time

[eternal palm]

They just need to lose some states

[analog ivy]

yeah alot i play discardian rp games really often

[winter urchin]

Discardian version is absolutely terrible i hate that every MP player uses it

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1875414471&searchtext=Road+to+56+RP

[willow plume]

whats discardian?

[winter urchin]

this version is a million times better for singleplayer games

[mellow jetty]

Or Siam, they have 1-2x DD's

[tranquil lion]

Yes it does... If Nationalist Spain can't complete "Consolidate the North", they can't get to the "Fuse the Parties" focus, which means they can't stop the Carlists from spawning.

[winter urchin]

well screenshot the spaniard front

how you manage the civil war affects carlist uprising alot

[tranquil lion]

I have to restart. They already completed Consolidate the North.

Ironman mode unfortunately

I'm not Spain.

[analog ivy]

w tank div? 1939 im researching mechanized

[tranquil lion]

I'm playing as France.

Nope.

I was preparing to join the war and invade normally, but that took too long.

[misty fossil]

where are you mechanised

[tranquil lion]

I forgot volunteers existed.

[analog ivy]

its 1939 im researching mech right now

[misty fossil]

and just convert those heavies into heavy TDs

[eternal palm]

Thats not what this focus is about. They complete this focus regardless. All that matters is that they dont do fuse the parties

[misty fossil]

good now make heavy TDs

[analog ivy]

i dont need tank destroyers in singleplayer lol

[misty fossil]

then why are you playing as if its sheeps mod

[analog ivy]

unless im playing sheeps mod

cause i like spamming heavy tanks

its fun

[misty fossil]

ur not sweating, knock those cannons out and get 80% reliability

[willow plume]

sheeps mod?

[misty fossil]

you will want to use them against the soviets anyway

[misty fossil]

revamped ai and mechanics mod aimed to simulate mp metas

[tranquil lion]

"Banish the Party Leaders" is required to complete "Fuse the Parties". And "Consolidate the North" is required to complete "Banish the Party Leaders". You literally cannot complete the Fuse the Parties focus without Consolidate the North.

[eternal palm]

hc1 and no radio?

Oof

[misty fossil]

basically make AIs into metaslaves

[eternal palm]

Ye mb I misread, I thought this focus was "Secure northern garrisons"

Yea thats a restart right there

[tranquil lion]

Ah, ok

[tranquil lion]

Yep

[willow plume]

so simulating multiplayer in singleplayer

[eternal palm]

A good AI*

Yes

Best AI mod out there

[willow plume]

ahhh

that makes sense

the default ai is kinda predictable

when u choose historical

[misty fossil]

@analog ivy i would just switch to amtracs and switch to making heavy amphibious later down

[misty fossil]

not really no

[eternal palm]

Sheeps is too, but you need to have the best of the best of designs to even stand a chance

[unkempt bough]

Does anyone here know of any place that would be in need of a commentator? Looking to get into it for hoi

[eternal palm]

so you need to know what you're doing

[misty fossil]

sheeps ai do the same thing as historical events wise but they sweat the hell off with how they build their armies

[analog ivy]

k

[eternal palm]

Commentator? Like for a soccer game?

[unkempt bough]

yes

[eternal palm]

Huh

[misty fossil]

i love my 36 special forces tank

[unkempt bough]

I do it for f1, r6, rocket league etc

[willow plume]

no i feel like the ai is programmed to act in a certain way

[analog ivy]

yay

[unkempt bough]

trying to do it for hoi, seems like there might be some enjoyment and necessity for it

[misty fossil]

🗣️

i love my tanks...,,,,

[misty fossil]

put some planes up as well

[willow plume]

do u have a furry mod installed?

[misty fossil]

thats equestria at war

basically mlp but blood and death

im not a furry

[eternal palm]

Could be higher smh

[misty fossil]

could have been

[willow plume]

ahhh so mlp

[misty fossil]

actually more well made than pdx content if im going to be honest

more fleshed out content and techs

shame it just doesnt have a strong navy to go with

[eternal palm]

funny 1k hp mech

rounds damage to 0

[misty fossil]

?

how does that work

also your pfp looks like a chipmunk

[eternal palm]

Been there, heard that

[misty fossil]

its a good thing actually

[eternal palm]

hp reduces the amount of damage you take, so at some point you have so much hp that any damage dealt to you gets rounded to 0

Theres a threshold

[misty fossil]

oh right

can you even get 1k hp

[eternal palm]

And EAW just so happens to have techs that allow you to get that much hp

[misty fossil]

how do you do that

[patent thistle]

oh f you TGWR i will just stockpile my shit in divisions i am never gonna train

[misty fossil]

are light tanks or armoured cars better for suppression?

[patent thistle]

armoured car

[heavy vigil]

You can get 31.5 hp per batallion

25 batallions max per div

[misty fossil]

2.5 suppression on this bad boy

[heavy vigil]

Supports average to like 2 hp each max

[finite plume]

tanmk 🗣️ 🔥

[misty fossil]

tanmk

[patent thistle]

not my fault you you make 1.14 production cost light "tanks"-

[misty fossil]

1.14ic tank

[heavy vigil]

Tag norway

Make one with cheaper armor

[misty fossil]

wdym

[heavy vigil]

They get a different armor and turret

Which are cheaper

:3

[misty fossil]

huh

[heavy vigil]

From doing a focus and event chain

Where you ask for 1 swedish tank

[lean oasis]

someone please host multi

[misty fossil]

i wouldnt trust the ai to actually make it

plus who plays norway anyway

unless ur norwegian

[gloomy burrow]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1322570565269196864/1412858615475474432/togif.gif

hi

[heavy vigil]

?

They always do the tank event

They dont need to design the tank but they get the modules

[patent thistle]

i totally didnt make the stability situation 100x worse and added a permanent enemy to the list

[misty fossil]

how do you get them if you arent playing norway then

and if you're norway why would you want anything to deal with tanks

[heavy vigil]

You cant

I mean you can license it

[heavy vigil]

Cuz its the only thing youre good at?

You have no manpower, relatively high IC

[misty fossil]

norway has an industrial base?

til

[heavy vigil]

More than the manpower pool

[misty fossil]

fair

[heavy vigil]

Its like me saying new zealand has a relatively big industry

Like they have one of the biggest ones compared to manpower

But it isnt some yk global power

Denmark can also have a lot

[limpid mantle]

doom

[fallow grove]

In this game manpower is everything

More army means faster victory

[heavy vigil]

Manpower is the only fixed limited reaource

Like you can get formables sometimes

But non core doesnt rlly give a lot

[dry kayak]

make puppets and build in their own country

[limpid mantle]

Do naval invasions run out of supply"?

[heavy vigil]

Yeah

But not that fast

Easier to just kill

[dry kayak]

use cargo planes to support the invasion

[eternal palm]

If u have supply issues on a naval invasion, thats usually due to not having ports, not that there's not enough supply even with a supply connection

Transports are extremely irrelevant for supply

[limpid mantle]

Im going to start building mils now, planning to leave only 25 civillian factories after converting

[dry kayak]

invading to a port area is mandatory for resupply

[willow plume]

do ur troops just starve to death

if u dont ahve any ports

[eternal palm]

Yep

[lean oasis]

please host multi

😡

[eternal palm]

#alt-history-multiplayer

[eternal palm]

Woah dont gotta get mad cuz no mappies

[misty fossil]

is there a way to change the order of ships in my task force

[eternal palm]

"Activate Windows 🗣️ 🗣️ "

[eternal palm]

Assign them 1 by 1?

God the autism is strong with this one

[misty fossil]

nah

im exploiting the game's mechanics

[limpid mantle]

and that kids is why im switching to linux mint soon!

[willow plume]

wait so they no supplies at all?

[limpid mantle]

just waiting for my usb stick to arrive!

this is you people's call to SWITCH TO LINUX

[willow plume]

unless u use airdrops

[eternal palm]

Yes.

You need ports.

[willow plume]

i thought theyd get at least a tiny bit

from more naval landings u know

[eternal palm]

Ohh you have the one with 1 fighter wing at the bottom

[eternal palm]

Thats not how that works

Well yea they get a tiny bit, but its not close to enough

hence u need a port

[misty fossil]

2 actually

[willow plume]

base supply from the province im guessing

thanks for the explanation

[eternal palm]

And you dont it in full

[misty fossil]

bottom one should be fighters but they're not so these guys will not engage

[willow plume]

is it possible for an entire division to die from lack of supplies?

[eternal palm]

Given long enough time scales and attrition, yes

But its rare

u die to enemy divs before u die due to lack of reinforcements

starving to death isnt an actual mechanic

Surprise I know

[heavy vigil]

No manpower losses from attrition is silly

[willow plume]

ahhh they should rework the mechanics then

[heavy vigil]

I mean you can lose divisions if theyre 0% equipment

[eternal palm]

uh no?

Thats a war crime

and pdx doesnt intend to make hoi4 a war crime sim

I dont care about all the redditors wanting POWs

[viscid swift]

How i feel trying to learn naval

[willow plume]

wait whats a warcrime?

i mean what are u referring to

[eternal palm]

Deliberately starving the enemy to death instead of accepting surrender if surrender has been offered

Deliberate torture of captured soldiers

[willow plume]

ahhh ok

yeah

im guessing its in the geneva convention

[eternal palm]

yep.
Thats where you find war crimes.

[willow plume]

hoi4 could be made so much more complicated

if u wanted full realism

[eternal palm]

Mfw Blackice exists

[willow plume]

im guessing thats a mod?

[eternal palm]

It is

[misty fossil]

soviets on service by requirement lol

[eternal palm]

holy eco

what year is it

[misty fossil]

1944

im just waiting for the axis to die

[willow plume]

looks good

[eternal palm]

Yea it does, but it plays like shit

I think its "what if we made hoi4 so complicated that its completely incomprehensable and no longer fun?"

They took the Kaiserreich approach and made it 10x worse

[willow plume]

its that complicated???

[eternal palm]

Yes.

[willow plume]

ive never tried kaiserreich

[eternal palm]

U should

its a wellmade mod

[willow plume]

i thought that was dlc?

[eternal palm]

What?

[tender swift]

lmao

[eternal palm]

KR is not a dlc 💀

Do you even play this game?

Genuine question

do you own hoi4?

[willow plume]

yeah i have hoi4

but ive only ever played the base game

[limpid mantle]

bro montana class is ass with naval treaty

im leaving it rn

[eternal palm]

Ouch 💀

eZ leave treaty

[fallow grove]

The uk making naval treaty to get invaded by a German sweatlord with no navy

[willow plume]

thats the power of paratroopers ig

[safe wing]

which one is better See to or revive

i've tried them both and I generally prefer see to

for allies

[eternal palm]

Both do practically the same, brest litovsk is just more agressive. I do believe you get more pp on Brest litovsk though

Oh and more cores too

U get cores on 2 more polish states but its really a nothingburger

[rose prawn]

Wait do people still use usb

[soft yacht]

best ukraine path kaiserredux?

[gaunt pawn]

Now what

I melted lead

[misty fossil]

pov you have a nosy neighbour

[eternal palm]

Spain used to be where the gigantic ass radar array now stands

[misty fossil]

will they know

[patent thistle]

all roads lead to konstantinyye

[misty fossil]

my fleet is ready to rock and roll

[sudden thistle]

Yeah

[patent thistle]

.

[livid fractal]

why did those divs die of encirclement

they all have place to retreat to

[eternal palm]

They aren't dead yet

[livid fractal]

they did right after taking ss

[eternal palm]

Ouch

[livid fractal]

im in ironman

[eternal palm]

Yea that happens when it's like mega close

[livid fractal]

they had taken a tile and i took it back instantly

oh

is it a glitch?

[sudden thistle]

Fix ur generals

[livid fractal]

i kept all troops stuck in a division to make fallback line

in army*

and why isnt the supply hub on ronvo connected?

[eternal palm]

I mean, could be considered one, it's clearly the games fault. Its like teleporting

[eternal palm]

Hasn't updated

[misty fossil]

having this many radars feel so uncanny

[rich sand]

did they resurrect mehmed*

[limpid mantle]

does light sp anti air give CAS reduction?

[misty fossil]

yes

but no point making them

just get a support comp

how do i draw the british out to fight

[eternal palm]

AA does in general, spaa isnt special in that regard

you only need 10.5 air attack to negate 75% of cas damage

[limpid mantle]

i see

[patent thistle]

its great war redux damit-

[patent thistle]

convoy raid them to death

eventually the british will force there fleet out

if they take too much damage

[misty fossil]

i did

[rich sand]

you're obligated to conquer rome

[patent thistle]

i f ing did bud-

[rich sand]

arent u ottomans

[eternal palm]

Italy is his puppet bruh

[patent thistle]

i am the ottomans-

[rich sand]

ohhh

I'm still not familiar with map modes

i just played hoi4 like ladt night

[patent thistle]

and no i dont want S(pain)

I ALMOST BEATEN THE AMERICAN INDUSTRY

[eternal palm]

36 mils 53 dockyards 💀

[patent thistle]

(dont question the 53 dockyards)

[patent thistle]

blame the shitty event that ruins your military industry

in TGWR

[eternal palm]

What mod are u even playing

it looks like kaiserreich but its not kaiserreich

[patent thistle]

TGWR aftermath

[eternal palm]

the hell

in a game thats all about war, someone made a mod about the interwar period?

[patent thistle]

no that is just TGWR just after i done ww1

not a seperate mod

[eternal palm]

bruh

[patent thistle]

ottoman navy

[sudden thistle]

Do a world conquest

[eternal palm]

The british hunting the bismarck be like

Its also almost in the exact same spot it got sunk too

[heavy vigil]

Hoi4 only 1 day away

[patent thistle]

i have heard its time for intevention?

[patent thistle]

not at all, it happend in the north sea and this is near ireland

[eternal palm]

Factually incorrect

[patent thistle]

i dislike using the console all the time (TGWR would force my hand there)

[patent thistle]

eitherway not near ireland

[eternal palm]

It is near ireland though

Or at least closer to it

Point and case

Its in the atlantic ocean

Its a stretch but it checks out

[patent thistle]

was actually closer then i expected i remembered reading it was more in the north sea area

[eternal palm]

Is that what the textbooks in your country say 💀

I mean they mention the bismarck at all which is already not very common

[willow plume]

maybe he just remembered it wrong?

[eternal palm]

he did, I'm just messing around

dw about it

[safe wing]

this is an intresting alliance

[willow plume]

damn they didnt go for the sudentenland

[willow plume]

ahh i misunderstood then

[safe wing]

me? I didn't

[willow plume]

germany didnt conquer Czechoslovakia

thats what i meant

[patent thistle]

we have come to save your ass

[patent thistle]

nah we dont really talk about the bismarck here in germany

[eternal palm]

Thats why I was surprised where you read it cuz the war itself is never mentioned, not even in like Advanced courses during Abitur

Ah well, misinformation be misinformation

[vapid bough]

de gaulle? what is up?

[eternal palm]

uh oh

[misty fossil]

LOL

[misty fossil]

the guh

[eternal palm]

WHY DOES THAT WORK

The guh

[vapid bough]

de gaulle got his hands on marx while he's away in africa ig

[eternal palm]

4x more break than soft 😭

[limpid mantle]

i'd love to give ma dog to uncle sam 🔥

[patent thistle]

we during secondary school have gone through ww2 over like 2-4 years-

[safe wing]

did you build the Spanish Armada?

[misty fossil]

yeah

dont worry about the guy's traits

[patent thistle]

the UK better be happy i am saving there ass

[misty fossil]

@eternal palm oh hey look

[eternal palm]

But thats like stuff surrounding it right, not the war itself. Like u werent talking in detail about France, the invasion of the soviet union and so on

[misty fossil]

the nelson is the only survivor

[sudden grotto]

"How many medals do you have?"
"Yes."

[patent thistle]

we did go quite in detail for the soviets and overviewed the french invasion

even did a little with yugoslavia

[eternal palm]

Well damn

thats more than I ever got

[patent thistle]

this is over and i did 90% of the carrying of the civilwar

[sudden grotto]

Whats that strange yellowish flag in Ireland?

[patent thistle]

ulster

expected

LOL-

[misty fossil]

kingdom of great britain....

[patent thistle]

they had a funny civilwar going on

and i saved there ass

once must image churchill happy considering they have this behemoth on there side

[willow plume]

what map mod is this?

[vapid bough]

I might go and take back Besserabia, I have a world alliance on my side

[eternal palm]

No arrows drawn 😡

[vapid bough]

true

i will wait until Japan falls off a bit so more troops are available, im also trying to get a collab or two

[patent thistle]

bad nicky, you surrendered besserabia,

thats not very romanian off you

[muted loom]

Hi guys I started the game 3 days ago but I dont know how to play because the youtube videos use dlcs and i can't buy them so I need help to learn basic mechanics and what i must use in focus tree and technologie so who can help me pls

[patent thistle]

if you want to be true romanian you never return stolen goods

[sudden thistle]

Search a no dlc tutorial

[patent thistle]

(tried explain a little but i suck ass at explaining)

[muted loom]

I didnt foud this is why I ask the no dlcs videos are 3 years ago

[sudden thistle]

Uhhh

Check the pins in #ask-for-help-here

There should be a good one there

[muted loom]

I already asked in the #ask-for-help-here but I was told that this chat was for specific questions and not general as I asked

[austere star]

the amount of dopamine i get from this knowing that they beat my ahh last try (first time soviets)

(ofcourse its bittersteel talking here-)

[uncut pollen]

I Wish i could See green bubles when i try to Defend my country

[austere star]

as the soviets or someone else

[vapid bough]

the Soviets in this timeline didnt even get attacked by Germany, Hitler was too busy slugging it out in the Balkans

they have like 400 divisions, 10K planes, and 500 factories
this is gonna be a long war if I fight it

[austere star]

are you playing as the soviets or what country

[vapid bough]

the Romanians, I'm planning to get Besserabia back

[austere star]

good luck

[vapid bough]

at least because Germany died before they could fight the USSR, they still havent done a good portion of their army tree

[limpid mantle]

awesome

does agility even matter?

[austere star]

just circle around the earth and land back. doesnt matter with strat bombers if you do that

[silver nacelle]

nah

[hollow narwhal]

Hello people

It is I

[patent thistle]

i seriously do not know if churchill would be happy about the behemoth joining his faction or unhappy because he partially has to make sure this stays together for the most part

[hollow narwhal]

interesting

[little compass]

What is this 💀

[patent thistle]

ottomans

[analog ivy]

you can make churchill a leader in gwr?

[patent thistle]

after the british civilwar

he becomes the leader if you pick democracy

[golden stag]

why does he look like this

what mod

is this

[patent thistle]

because he is younger

TGWR

[golden stag]

ah

wait you can have british civil warin TGWR?

interesting

[patent thistle]

if they lose the war

then they will eventually land in one

"realism"

my ass

[sudden grotto]

Ngl the Reichskommisariat rosenberg mechanic should be a bit more buffed, you get Crazy low buffs even if you puppet the whole Europe, nordamerika, nord afrika, russia

Now i get why people Say its Better to Just keep the Land to yourself

[patent thistle]

you just do it so map looks funny

[sudden grotto]

The man in the High Castle type shit

Most funny rk Is the Ural One lol

[misty fossil]

how do i select a leader and give him xp

[sudden grotto]

[patent thistle]

.

[sudden grotto]

How to hire One or literally how to select one

[sudden grotto]

He looks young ngl

[misty fossil]

i wanna use console to give him xp

[patent thistle]

because he is litterally like 20-30 years younger then in basegame

[sudden grotto]

https://hoi4.paradoxwikis.com/Console_commands

[sudden grotto]

Which mod Is It?

[misty fossil]

looking at it rn

[patent thistle]

TGWR

[sudden grotto]

Didnt know they had him ingame

Like, i know he was in the army during ww1 but didnt know he got into politics that fast

[limpid mantle]

can someone tell me what proximity fuse special project does exactly

what a Shock-Hardening Techniques

[eternal palm]

He wasnt in the army, he was 1st Lord of the Admiralty

Which is arguably a higher position than any army command, so he was already relevant

[eternal palm]

More air attack for aa

15% to be exact

[misty fossil]

it just doesnt work bro

[eternal palm]

and a new research that gives support arty 20% more soft

[misty fossil]

wtf

works w my generals but nor admirals

this is so scuffed

[eternal palm]

Select admiral then gainxp?

[misty fossil]

thats what i did

it should work by all means but its not

Allies for garrisons

Also holy casualties

[hollow narwhal]

that was around 500k

oh theres more 🤣

damn it wish if releasing collab governments kept cored land 💀

i somehow also lost industry by doign that

lmfao

oh well tahts great ig if u own ukraine then lose it u lose ur core ..

[eternal palm]

Yea releasing collabs is almost always a bad idea

u just get more by keeping it at 100% compliance

The non core stuff with compliance pays for itself in manpower so no point releasing it

[hollow narwhal]

ig true 💀

[eternal palm]

Also draw some arrows jfc

I took a look to see how fast I can build civs now that I have all the buffs to build them
45 days on service by requirement and investing in turkey

[soft yacht]

is this div good??

[urban ivy]

at what %

will the allies start guaranteeing others

12%?

[lapis snow]

awful

[soft yacht]

oh

this good??

[heavy vigil]

No

Dont do tanks as italy anyway

[soft yacht]

italies main divisons are terrible

[lapis snow]

too small, too basic, no stats

[soft yacht]

oh

[lapis snow]

yes

[heavy vigil]

No camels

[soft yacht]

ok

[lapis snow]

truth nuke

[soft yacht]

should i just stick camels on everything

is this good then

[heavy vigil]

Camels arent tanks

But theyre better than cav and moto

[soft yacht]

oh ok

[heavy vigil]

More hp

[soft yacht]

should i replace tanks and moto with camels

[heavy vigil]

If you do tanks

9 mediums 9 camels

Make sure to do your focuses that give you spawn in designs on basic and improved medium chassis

[soft yacht]

9 medium tanks?

[heavy vigil]

Italy is the ONLY nation where researching tank chassis is actually useful

[soft yacht]

hm ok

[heavy vigil]

Because you dont need arty techs

[soft yacht]

so no artillery??

[heavy vigil]

Use this as baseline for tanks

What do you need artillery techs for 😭

[soft yacht]

oh ok

[heavy vigil]

You need AIR techs

[viscid swift]

how i feel when naval in HOI4

[soft yacht]

idk i usually just grab em

but alr

thanks tho

[flat barn]

[misty fossil]

i dont know how to paratroop either

simply because i have no need to

[viscid swift]

i have them

[eternal palm]

You mean a paradrop? Make paratrooper template, make sure everything is dropable, get to an airport, deploy transports in that airport, have 75% air superiority in all zones you wanna drop through, make the order and click the button

[misty fossil]

they meant an arial attack

[viscid swift]

alright thanks

[viscid swift]

no

[misty fossil]

[cedar lance]

🇪🇪 ALL WORLD FORCES YOU ARE SURROUNDED LOWER YOUR WEAPONS YOU CANNOT WIN THIS FIGHT

[scenic basin]

me get bombed by uk

[misty fossil]

compliance gain, division template and equipment status

note divisions themselves dont increase compliance gain nor decreasing resistance threshold

you can only increase compliance gain by changing occupation law

[viscid swift]

nvm i got it

[sudden thistle]

Do u perchance like Estonia

[misty fossil]

hes latvian

[cedar lance]

yes i do

[cedar lance]

[sudden grotto]

add_core_"state"

[cedar lance]

all soviets are gonna die and be deported to siberia when im done with USSR as Estonia

[eternal palm]

park the units on the airport you deployed your transports in

[scenic basin]

how do you defend the air 🫠

[sudden grotto]

You set airplane transports in an Airport, click the paratroopers, select the paradrop planning and choose Airport and target

[eternal palm]

Have planes of your own

Go Strategic Destruction air doctrine, make fighter

[misty fossil]

throw rocks into the air

[sudden grotto]

Arrow and bow

[viscid swift]

where is the dang paradrop planning TwT

[sudden grotto]

Select the army, there Is a paradrop icon

Select it

[eternal palm]

when u assign orders there should be a parachute symbol on the left side

[sudden grotto]

Its the second one in line i think

[viscid swift]

hm i think this is bad

[misty fossil]

paradropping isnt even worth it

[eternal palm]

u should assign orders to your planes

[sudden grotto]

💀

[eternal palm]

then they might do something

[sudden grotto]

Did you build airfields?? 💀

[wraith moon]

The 2k unused airplanes in the alps:

[scenic basin]

my rocks don't go up 1000m

[eternal palm]

If the arrow is grey that means they arent actually doing anything

[viscid swift]

they're used

[misty fossil]

0 equipment btw

[eternal palm]

ouch

[sudden grotto]

No...they gave the Red exclamitivr point

[viscid swift]

oops

[wraith moon]

They aren’t assigned to a mission or air zone

They have the red ! Point

[sudden grotto]

The Planes in Berlin?

Poor lads

[misty fossil]

have you seen a rocket being launched

i think rocks can go higher than 1000m

[viscid swift]

OHH I CANT CLICK AIR SUPERIORITY BECAUSE THEY'RE SUPPORTING BOMBERS-

[eternal palm]

Yea assign missions

[wraith moon]

yeah and you don’t need 1.5k fighters in Berlin

[sudden grotto]

Pov they are all Inter war ones

[wraith moon]

only put fighters on the air zone where your fighting at

[sudden grotto]

200 should be kept, when you change air combat zone ai tends to move their bombers in another zone

[sudden grotto]

Consolidate the Planes 💔

[viscid swift]

what does consolidate mean 💔

[sudden grotto]

How many air groups are they?

[wraith moon]

Move the planes to the closest airports possible

[sudden grotto]

Click the airfield and Press the Arrows taht unite into one

[viscid swift]

okay

[wraith moon]

don’t overstsck the airports tho

[viscid swift]

[wraith moon]

why does it say i need avionic points

what are they

[hollow skiff]

Give me that

[scenic basin]

The marines aren't marining

[hollow skiff]

You need to build a aerodynamics's facility which will make you get aviation points to research those kinds of things

[viscid swift]

ohh

[hollow skiff]

I hope it helps you

[hollow skiff]

Wdym?

[scenic basin]

I tell them go to the port of UK and it says "invalid"

I have naval superiority

[fallow grove]

Why every public lobby has a hacker

Genuine question

[remote quarry]

which is why you don't play in public lobby

and pretty sure the public multiplayer page is dominated by the hacker lobbies recently

[scenic basin]

Play solo or private

[fallow grove]

Why paradox don’t fix it

[sharp sierra]

have you seen the state of clausewitz engine

they cant even fix their own dog shit code

and im not judging either im in no place to critique anything about programming skill

[craggy trail]

Avionics/Aerodynamics breakthrough points from a scientist not on a project at an aerodynamics facility or researching related technology like Rocket Artillery, Aircraft, Anti-Air, etc

[austere basin]

The italy in my game is genuinely good like they managed to take Gibraltar, malta and cyprus on their own.

Like wtf

Also they're holding africa pretty well

[remote quarry]

you think paradox designed this game for multiplayer?🤣

they don't care

[oak cipher]

is kaiserreich still good?

[vapid bough]

the IJA just decided to keel over and burn all of their supply I guess

A tech with a colored band on the bottom right indicates that you can gain points for a breakthrough. Colorwise,

Okay fr now though

You have to get 50% naval supremacy AT LEAST to launch a naval invasion order

And if you want to naval invade you have to make the order to naval invade yk?

And only generals can make naval invasion orders

Field marshals can't do that

[hollow skiff]

That flag 💀

[craggy trail]

Don't forget to also have the naval transport tech for it

[viscid swift]

guys is this good for germany 1942?

[hollow skiff]

You need 50 naval supremacy there

[sudden thistle]

Yes

[hollow skiff]
