but whos gonna be the actor for the mustache man
danny de Vito
nah
mandatory
have you ever watch Fascist on Mars?
revive mustache by unburning and unshooting himself and ask him to act.
than he discovers Latinas and abandon the Reich for a life vacation in argentina ahahahha
i'm calling Hollywood now
On mobile warfare, do I go down blitzkrieg or Mobile Infantry?
i feel like the hoi4 movie is gonna be the minecraft movie all over again
Himmler, wo sind die Latinas? Ich weiß nicht. (AH: Himmler, where are the Latinas? HH: I don't know sir.)
ahahahah
while goring is already wearing an awaiian shirt with palms and drinking margaritas
451 defense bro come on
Hows that an issue
It just makes your attacks not crit
This is the wermacht going to Argentina with AH
"artillery barrage inbound"
How do you assign wings to fight in areas
Do not post nazi gifs or images on this server please.
the problem is i cant push a cm
it's a nazi gif?
it seems only wermacht
Why is Germany flashing red near France
and the second i do push they just reinforce it
erm
The not-Rheinland path.
And stay away from the democratic stuff then.
@slim parcel whats wrong with u
How do I make a navy to fight off the allies as Germany?
Go down the Oppose Hitler path
is taking province better than puppeting?
What are the best fighter and cas early game designs?
holy questions
spam out light attack cruisers
matters
you gain more factories from your puppets as facist nations btw, tho maybe you wanna annex them as democracies since you get free compliance from the local autonomy occupation law, and more compliance = you get more factories and manpower.
Tho if you just puppets them you can use all of their manpower as you wich as well as be able to trade a ton of their resources for a single civy
it takes alot of time to build up compliance as well (unless your country has compliance buffs or decisions)
should i add arty to this division
Why use this
bro i took washington in less then a month in a siege meanwhile invading chicago is taking me over 7 months
what is this
gliggywiggybriggyliggymiggypliggygriggyglibglabschlibschwibschlabschwabschwabberdabberglabbermabbergliboriousthegiborious really questioned adding artillery in a division with artillery support
The more you add, the less armor you have.
The lesser, the higher the chance the enemy catches up in technology to pierce you.
k
Sometimes tricky to balance, because even support anti-air has a good amount of pierce.
Is there a command to give all the resources like steel and tungsten
anything between 10 to 45 combat width is literally fine.
Having 12.5 armour sounds kinda expensive
that is not expensive
i can tell u that
for single player you don't even need armor
it still not expensive even for sp
Not really.
You could enable "research_on_click" and get the resource extraction techs.
Or adding some more civs for the trade. As somewhat close.
Wasn't expecting Wagner in Africa. 
When does Britain give a shit about France?
is this a good starting template?
u own the world and ur at 1.38 man power 😭
fun game
Red vs Gray, Red wins all the time
Nice space marine actually.
not even in hearts of slots is line arty usefull
Just have the mod that disables combat width
ez dubs
what you put in addition in inf divisions?
?
oh nvm i looked at it wrong
how easy is Italy to capitulate?
they invoked order 227
very
10 units on sicily and 2 on rome and boom civil war
Ludicrously
Also they have their civil war making things even easier
and also norway
in fact the first thing i've had to learn to make decent games with italy it was mastering the naval warfare to survive
nope, i use to skip tanks with italy
now that i also have mtg it will make shit easier
it basically has some cavarly and 1 tank batallion
its ass
lol
I really appreciate this decision. Love my free light cruisers
i love the new hirohito portrait
way better than triple neck guy
bro i saw "character building" on the dev diary and i thought you would be able to make custom characters like ck3 💀
i have 311 hours on hoi4. Is that too much?
The best part about these little "Hilfskreuzers" is that one can retrofit them into proper light cruisers, weak heavy cruisers or decent light carriers. They really are the Eevee Pokemon of HoI4
thats just the start
i have 1590
oh god
a friend of mine has 2647
im not even good at the game
i have 116hrs aahahah
why.
My grandfather gave me 30 bucks. This is going straight into HOI4 dlcs.
Giraffes make bad people.
of course youll buy graveyard of empires
You cannot talk to them, are bad at gaming.
And are large af.
any of yall wanna play an axis co-op game rn
what is a good hoi4 like mobile game
Nah, keep it for now.
dont
its bad
like really bad
if you dont have dlc buy no step back imo
its my personal fav
Jk, I'll buy BBA. I already have NSB and MTG.
nice
i love no step back too
great investment
i want aat and gotterdammerung
idc about goe and toa
We love the 10seconds freeze every time Soviets explode. 
toa has good paths but i dont wanna fight peru once i cap us and uk
sometimes i cheat (I know im a monster) and use the tank mechanic to create behemoths
How dare you to have fun in games? 
gotterdammerung is a great investment
screenshot button...
I don't have Discord on my laptop
If you want Italy's focus tree fixed, get By Blood Alone.
Wait
Why not do a subscription.
For all of the DLC's?
I did before but I think its time to start buying. It'll cost me more in the long run to keep resubbing.
nothing, just pure inf, or rocket arty
Well, what features do you like more from each dlc?
22/0 infantry my beloved
Well, I think taking the navies are crucial. But I really like the German civil war path and I would enjoy more focuses as germany, I also like to play as Hungary which gets improved in Götterdamerung.
Get Gott then, if you wanna.
Yes but I fear like not being able to take navies will severaly impact my games.
bro i finally won the German Civil war for the first time
doing achievements is so fun in this game
Guy is making Habakkuk
genuinely the worst type of achievements
not even a challenge just waiting painfully long
Oh land cruiser takes long too
Intercontinental bombers can be quite long as well
Super-Heavy battleship is short though
yeah i still need to research super heavy tanks for that
That's why you see them built in actual games
didnt even plan to do this achievement
Super sonic jets are quite short too
but well
i have nothing else to do
and since im already that long into the save i might aswell do the achievement
Well you do have to research axial engines, and then jet engines before that
Fastest you can do that I believe is 1942
Yeah but they can be gotten by both USA and Germany in 41-42 yeah. Overall pretty quick
messing around with toolpack
4 achievements in one run so far
i did have 100% achievements done when bba was the newest dlc
didnt play since tho and only returned this week
north africa unşted give prussia alsace
nerf finland but give estonia
i removed all soviet and german cores and increased resistance to 100
no one should be able to declare on me on historical here right?
Ur making mods?
gotta love late game hoi4
1946 and im seeing canada netherlands and brazil navally invade japan
Japan's gonna be divided like Germany
how drunk do you have to be to add those two buffs in the same nation-
.
nothing compared to finland
god it got even worse
mexico argentina and chile pulled up
i dont remember finland getting +100 attack and defense-
and +300% surrender limit
Wtf
Border gore
Damn look at all those enclaves
hello yalls
japan went to war AGAIN
and this time its turkey naval invading them instead of chile
MAN I'M HAVING A BLAST AS GERMANY
I JUST STARTED THOUGH, BUT I SENT 4 TANK DIVISIONS TO SPAIN AND WON THE CIVIL WAR IN HALF A YEAR MAX
Honestly sounds about right
lemme cook
Time to enact peak turanism
Imagine being ruled by Enver Hoxha
how and why tf do u rememeber that
?
I mean, he was the funny guy who built hundreds of thousands of bunkers across his country and basically made his own bloc of communism because both China and the Soviet Union were proving to be cringe
ohhh
(of course yugoslavia was also cringe)
damned damned yugoslavs
are you playing as albania?
can you manage puppets, and make them not free, by that i mean become part of your land
guess
yeah?
yeah duhhh
king zog is really tuff
damn
had to wait until 1950
but
its done
5 achievements in 1 game
i'll never have to play finland again
... what the hell did the TGWR devs think was gonna happen with +100 attack and defense-
😭
(i could demand territories after kicking out italy fully with border conflicts)
got ptsd after playing communist brazil ealier today
as expected
reminded me of like the 2 years ive spent fighting americans and british armies in the amazon
true horror knows no bounds
both me and them without supply
and I still gotta play brazil again
gotta get the wc achievement
my biggest fear might be an artificial man made hell
scientists have already shown its a real thing
where its like a 1 second punishment that lasts 50,000 years for u
as i go along the coast of north africa and down to the west, i am slowly advancing and building railroads
im taking northern and western africa along as bulgaria
thank god ai isnt sending troops here
supply is already struggling
hrm yes
i think they may pursue war in the continent hmmm
this game is so stupid, portugal was "without allies"
we owned half the world rahhhh
god darn game
screw monarchist spain
Lmao
Must be hallucination
This "iberia" nation
Big ships
WE GONNA LOSE LIKE 200 DIVISONS RAHHH
aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
AHHHH AND BECAUSE PORTUGAL FORMED POR-BRAZIL WE GOTTA GET ALL THEIR CORES IN SOUTH AMERICA RAHHH
AMAZON HERE I COME
chat is ts still winnable 😭
Italian naval High command: "WHAT THE F YOU MEAN WE LEFT A FLEET IN LIBYA WHEN WE RETREATED!?"
uhm, say what now?
How did you get Tunisia
tf do i have to do with the balkan-
could demand it once i kicked italy fully out of libya
It's also like less than half the Italian fleet, but yeah idk why they did that
Reparations be like
as the why france accepted, dont ask me-
Along with the big ships, I grew tanks bigger. Bombers do cluster bombing runs as they do during wartime. Some ship designer and battleplan GUI changes.
Lastly, a lovely new big portrait for my generals and admirals
Yesterday I played an Ottoman game and the Dervish movement puppeted my Albanian puppet at the end of WWI
All ironman compatible
looks good
Does that work with Ironman?
@wraith moon
Wait why is the game treating you as Italy
My bad didn’t read
It's ok
im just joshin and yankin on ur chain
I'd have to update my collection with the new mods
i do not know-
ONCE AGAIN GAME I AM NOT ITALY GRR
CALL ME ITALY AGAIN AND I WILL INVADE YOU
oops
The brazilian focus tree is terrible. No, Getulio Vargas nor any other leaders (besides the socialist/communist) ones should be able to build Brasilia. Brasilia was only built by JK because he wanted a soviet style capital (he was mostly socialist). I believe the South American DLC needs a rework or a second one to fix it’s mistake.
just return it to a generic focus tree
Why?
no reason
maybe we do but in the scope of things i think its fine
i think the chileean proactive defense thing bothers me the most
i do not want to see these bum ass chileans navally invading wilhelmshaven and shit
they chileans finally captured italian occupied albania
its not fine. It’s filled with historical innacuracies!
weakest chile attack:
this is barely a historical game theres not even a pearl harbor event
just a dogshit ww2 larp sim that i really like a lot 🥰
oh god
at least since theres no supply in the rest of the continent, germans held out as i've cleared west africa and the ivory coast
time to fight in equitorial africa yay
Real bruh
Oof
In base HOI4 you can have an X-Zionist war
Where X is just any country
(this is with ethiopia btw)
waitwot
huh neat
anyways cya!
Does the Chinese United Front ever dissolve or is Mao and Chiang just bros forever now
Yes they declare war on each other
And typically one side joins the Allies
am I missing too much if I go play on 1.15? theres this save I want to continue but idk if id be missing out too much
The literal text when the CUF is created is "This is an unstabile alliance"
Guys I have map painting question. How are you carving ussr as poland ?
i generally annex the plc cores and puppet the rest
and possibly release some nations depending on ideology
Everything east of Ural is going to Japan, what i am fine with. Taking just plc cores leave some ugly borders.. and especially ugly Ukraine. 🙄 it is shame that you cannot give extra land to releasables with the new system. Like I would gave Everything I don't want to Volga russians
Here's my collection with those mods in there
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2836849456
Fixed vehicle models + fixed and bigger ships
Carpet bombing
Ship designer - Universal
Large Portraits for Trait Tree Window
No.i just did some stuff using a custom tool pack mod for fun
good morning
ohhhh thanks
No problem
is there any finland rework mods which actually work
prob
yo hi
japanese ai just lost its pride of the fleet and probably its whole navy to my ships that were on convoy escort 😭
if u didnt know your ships can still do damage on convoy escord 👍
Poor that single Australian convoy
They were Just pasisng by lol
Imagine seeing some dudes with weird hats on Just passing by in a massive battle
sounds fun
Thats a bit of a stretch to call it a convoy escort fleet😭
How do I make planes for aircraft carriers?
You make planes with the carrier airframe
Carrier airframe
You get it with any small airframe research
It is its own airframe
If you dont have bba iirc its like a box on the small airframe research button
You can click
I can't seem to find said button
Nvm
How can I get a radar module for my ships?
What tech do I have to research?
A radar/sonar module
you need to build an air facility, and then do the radar speical project
sonar is something different
but radar is not so important overall in the game
Or make ice carriers
bro
im the usa
my navy is bigger and better in every aspect compared to the axis comintern and greater east asian co-prosperity sphere navies combined
rate my torp cruiser design guys pls
Torpedo crusier without a single torpedo
it had too much torpedo attack
so i took some off
too much anti air , get some ligth atck or trp atck
ok wait let me add more aa
This does close to absolutely nothing
Its not a capital, why stack AA
naval bombers target capitals first
so if you have captials, AA on screens is useless
u are better off stacking light attack on cruisers
yeah bro its not like youll shoot a japanese bomber flying at 9000ft from this boat of yours
You can never have too much lol?
Torpedo attack is basically heavy attack but worse
thanks for the compliment
1 torp attack is 0.25 heavy attack
oh so your that type of hoi 4 player i understand now🫡
yes sir
🫡 🫡 🫡
who's the real reichsprotektorat böhmen und mähren
hello yalls
hi
no idea
the black one
the other one is just a puppeted czechia
Correct
I love how the imposter reichsprotektorat böhmen und mähren doesn't control böhmen nor mähren
fk around and find out
my hoi4 games have been so messed up recently because the soviet union has been way too strong, im playing afghanistan and I couldnt push into their territory and the axis barely got into kyiv and finland just got puppeted? this has happened multiple times more so halfway through the year all of a sudden
The terrain near Afghanistan probably doesnt help
Also, the Axis shouldnt be pushing to deep even when well balanced as comebacks arent really a thing for HOI IV AI vs HOI IV player
well yeah I wasn't planning with invading I just took nearest soviet supply hub but the soviets have been way too strong for a few months now all of a sudden I can't do anything because there's a hypercharged soviet union
I assume its on historical right?
yep
Does Germany have problems in France and Poland too?
no germany demolishes them
Cuz usually axis shouldnt get stuck like this
Like sure they take their time cuz its AI, but not getting into kiev is strange
thats what im saying, its like the soviets are veteran mode for everyone else
my last italian game germany could not push past poland pre 1939 borders and soviets naval invaded me within first year
Hm yea very strange. Idk sometimes germany just eats rocks when you play something thats not close to axis
And sov sometimes just stomps
my troops are unorganized because they just got completely demolished
I stopped here when finland got puppeted because that was one less front for them
my italian game from around a month ago
i love hoi4 but having a super charged soviet come out of nowhere has really killed it for me recently
I was thinking about waiting till asia dlc so I could somehow cheese the coal factory mechanic
"realism"
somethings wrong with you bruv
Smh clearly not producing with the correct MIO
excuse me what the actual f-
good div?
What if I told you he could be producing more than he already is
By swapping the MIO on the production line to Benz, doing cutting corners on Henschel and Assembly line on Benz
🧠
Nah
remove arty, add engineers, add aa, add rangers, remove 1 inf
Actually nvm add 1 more inf
welp, france just got themselvs an ally, (i wanna kick italy's ass again)
I think fighting Ethiopa as Italy is genuinly ruining my mental health. I just got BBA and realised Ethiopa has been buffed. I can't defeat it.

Huh
Like, I am genuinly sweating cuz I'm so mad.
Its still just as weak
Ok just pull all your air force and your entire army to ethiopia?
But I'll get better. The only thing you can do when you're failing is try again.
sorry sir
i should have produced with denleir benz
or how ever u spell it
me when ethiopia becomes a government in exile and im stuck in a never ending war with them
And its such a hard terrain to attack on. Then the terrible militias Italy start with. Then the Ethiopans spamming last stand 10 seconds.
No, that's just what Mercedes-Benz became later
It's the name of the 2 guys, Benz and Daimler and then the name of Benz' Daughter, Mercedes
Ohh
It’s really not
Put like 24 divs in the north and the rest in the south
Hi chris
Then just battleplan
Hi
It seems self explanatory to put air over a war
I am
I follow Bitt3tsteel's guides.
Waow
its crazy to think that if someone asked you abt what games u play, and u js casually put hoi4 and fortnite in the same place
there's no assembly line on that 🤓
Close air support, logistics strike. Divide into all parts.
heavy gantry cranes 🔥
Wtf
There is
Theyre mediums
You need gantry cranes for heavies
West Böhmen und Mähren and East Böhmen und Mähren
Yep
hello yalls
i think the second balkan war might have just been prevented by serbia accepting the bulgarian demand-
alr
its march 23 1914 so that means entente bulgaria-
damn
It's weird, doesn't Reichskommissariat Tschechoslowakei make more sense?
Idk
there is 2 mods that adds new RKs and SSRs for germany and ussr
no because of böhmen und mähren are the ones that are keept by the RK puppet there
why does your map look like the plague inc map
Wdym
Like for the other one
what the hell is happening-
Sometimes Nothing makes sense in this game
True
Why do people buy soundtrack dlcs
Like just have youtube or spotify open while playing
Same reason people buy cosmetics in other games
show me they have assembly line on db mio then I'll admit I'm wrong
You can't get cosmetics from youtube.
You can get the songs without paying 5 bucks.
But the comparison is similar, just in hoi4 its even dumber
Oh no im sure they dont im just saying its available
To have something in game that other people don't
i totally didnt just have a small heart attack
What? So is it available or not?
That's the question he posed
Yeah ?
Because mediums its always available
I'm saying for db mio specifically you don't have assembly line policy
or any mio that is "standardized production"
such as generic tank mio
Cosmetics are cool, if you want them and have extra money, why not buy them. But the soundtracks are like 5 euros to get some songs you can find on youtube. The sabaton soundtrack doesn't have all sabaton songs. What if I wanna listen to winged hussars and not defence of moscow?
Of course buy whatever you want but it seems wierd to me.
South Africa OP. It will never get invaded and it has all the chromium to make heavy tanks.
Finally winning against the soviets :D
@heavy vigil @eternal palm just checked, I stand corrected 🙂
U should look west
Something is there
when are we going to have another dlc sales? is it after this month? are we going to have the next dlc?
Chat.

Albania 🦅 🦅 🦅 🔥 🔥 🔥 🗣️ 🗣️ 🗣️ 🗣️
Albania without BBA is under some real threat.
But going brown and joining Axis should shield me.
Banger resources.
It’s horrible
and bunkers
I just played Albania yesterday
There are no Bunkers.
It was a fun game

I said one.
You failed. 
China becomes a major real quick kind of because of faction.
But I let that one slide. Eh. Yeah.
Please don't kilometreseconds yourself.
You are awesome.
No its over im a fraud
How could i forget 💔
But a cool fraud.
How**
Wrong, you said "a" this can be any number of things. It can be one, or many. You didnt specify the amount.
Smh cant even get his grammar right
It's not grammar if it is about semantics.
But yeah, you're right on that.
Forgive me, Casey.
It pretty much is. And hey, you started this, I just want things to be correct
Otherwise you posed a trick question

I thought the infrastructure focusses got their fix.
I gain three infrastructure for a state that has three infrastructure.
While the rest isn't maxed out. :<
i feel like italy is being more of a nuisance rn for the central powers then an help, accurate
Nvm.
When the focusses gets completed, it tries not to over level infrastructure and the states are getting shuffled.
THEY CAPPED-
Huh. Good guy.
... statswise.
But he starts out as a puupet why would he have the puppet cost mod?
He does not start out as a puppet.
Italy puppets it eventually.
But Albania itself isn't a puppet.
he is the leader if you release albania as a puppet
and the fascist leader in general
for albania
Austrian High Command: "TF YOU MEAN LIBYANS ARE RUSHING DOWN OUR ALPHINE LINE ALREADY!?"
"What are all these black people doing on the passes?"
"must be french soldiers"
i feel like the war might actually end by christmas if this continues-
Its fine xd i forgot syria and bolivia too...
Its a decision when italy is a puppet of germany
Home before christmas
Mighty Albanian Colonial Empire. 
only for the entente
bro really joined a dying boat-
Eh... no thx.
I don't have enough units to cover my own border. 
Use nukes to save them
THE TUVAN COMRADES HAVE KILLED NEARLY 1 MILLION NAZI SWINE.
Uh how can u mobilise 134k men from a state that only has 34k pop 
U quadrupled your population
Karl Marx spontaneously generating 500 men every week to destroy capitalism.
I think we're still cooked though.
Alternate reality where the UK does nothing.
Didn't know that Mutinies are that heavy.
Hello
I finally understand why the Achievment is where Sweden Nukes Denmark is called Med Plutonium... 😂
massive
"639.7K"
"Nearly 1 million"
Closer to 1 million than 0 🤷♂️
I think you might need more troops to surround them 🤣
Ig, but not a million
For tannu tuva thats still very impressive
nah they dont have supply
one click they were dead 1.41 m to 2.40 m casualties instantly
How many casulties you think this will bring to the Soviets
i killed it it was 1.41 m casualties then i killed it and it went to 2.40 millon so in that pocket alone was probaly 1 million men
what about the philippines
they're getting a focus tree, we can't already be forgetting about them 😭
who wants to play some hoika
hey atleast they still have have cameroon, tanzania, qingdao and samoa
Ive played them like twice and theyre so irrelevant i forgot they exist...
atleast they have germany
better deal then in our timeline
Not even irrelevant in game just not that relevant globally irl either
(okay the war ended in december 1914 here so yeah-)
they're so ass in-game
like any other country with no focus tree
No
Generic tree is rlly good
You get 1942 gun in late 39
yes but it's bland
genuinely though
Just the philippines are not that good
Malaysia had 1939 guns in mid 37
No formables not even freedom at game start
Yeah
As does bulgaria
I mean knowing what techs your country can rush is a great skill to learn
And you should learn it
one for the axis and one for the allies lol
sad Comintern doesn't get 1937 mechanized
Mongolia
Can hard tech it
Or tannu tuva
I hope this Philippines focus tree makes the Philippines more than just a country that u should annex as the usa
î think i made some libyans very happy
and properly made the italian goverment put me on a travel ban list
after playing india like 5 times
i can confirm india is genuinely both underrated and terrible at the same time
Does anybody know how i can get musso into my faction if i go the latin entente path
is latin entente fascist france?
Ye
oh
i honestly dont think u can
italy always joins the axis in 1939
u need to be in the same side as italy in a war
i might have caused an italian monarchy with my support to them revolt and now have a puppet
🤯
he can't join the axis if u simply puppet him in a war 😜
then he's forced to join the latin entente
Lol
in the newest dev diary there are some usa portraits could this maybe be a hint for usa rework
Maybe
What path is the best to go down as Poland, I have all of the DLC's
Anastasia romanov
thats getting him aggresively
im pretty sure he meant without invading them and puppeting them
So the Regency Council?
No not the chair
I mean yea you have to go monarchist, then reject everyone twice and then she shows up
Alternatively you can go habsburg and just kill germany in 38
its funny
It also has the best mil eco for poland
Also poland Lithuania is fun
So, I do the "Assemble the Regency Council" first?
Do I invade?
Yes
Yeah, but the downside is that you depend on AI Poland's economy
Which is suboptimal at best
Not really? Like, anything you get is better than what you had
Like sure whatever a hypothetical player did would be better but you cant really expect that can you
Yeah, but comparatively you probably fight with a stronger economy if you start with Polish one
You really dont
On the flip side, annexing lithuania as poland gives you next to nothing
Without any of the buffs that lithania gets
The buffs on lithuania are simply better especially when it comes to manpower
So its not even about the eco, u just annex poland, them make mils, then trash germany and russia regardless
your eco really isnt much worse
since you also get cores on the rest of the baltics
Points were made
Poland doesnt have eco to build much regardless of if its ai or player
Youre not gonna see much change regardless
And yours is pretty bad 💀
How do I lower consumer goods ?
Also lithuania can core the baltics too who always have huge eco
is there a video that explains navy step by step easily?
I can't have a mister to fix it btw
Mobilising or potentially through the focus tree
why are coastal defense ships so expensive to build?
Go up in eco law, get any buffs you can in your focus tree, do decisions
Bittersteel's, but navy is very easy
Its 1946
Because its basically a battleship. They arent even any good, so I wouldnt recommend using those
Focus tree is done
way less tonnage than a battleship however
i dont use them but its more of an arguing point
Creep is disarmed nation the best conscription law? :3
Tonnage? That language doesnt apply to hoi4
they should be way cheaper tbh
obv
Civ eco is also best
make your people happy
thx
I need to be war eco to make more railway
Destroyers are a mobile protection for your big ships, the objective is to take down first the enemy destroyers and then the enemy big ships
Playing china rn i might do disarmed just for the wholesome
destroyers 🤮
They are mandatory though?
Just make some shit ones and be done
you can use light cruisers
Dont even bother with asw
How do you play without destroyers?
You need both
Light cruisers do damage, dds protect
Not having dds is really bad
this a mod or something? cause you dont need destroyers at all in vanilla
destroyers are the kamikaze ships
uh you do?
use destroyers as anti subs
idk what kind navy you been up against
naval bombers do that job 10x better
Not Britain probably
No dont do that lol, navs are so much better at doing it
i know
Should I remove the peasant strike immediately?
Then why are you recommending it
i literally dont build destroyers unless for some reason i need a ton of screens fast
alternative
What leader are you playing?
Uhm Yes.
plus, i wanted to tell him a use for destroyers
If Anastasia, there is an optimal order
which doesnt happen like ever
No point in having one ,when another thing is strictly better
Just tell him screening instead of yapping nonsense
I'm going down some sort of Monarchy path.
First time playing as Poland.
well a use is for some reason you end up having a ton of capital ships and not enough screens for them
which happens almost never
If you are playing Anastasia, I recommend you this: the two first monarchy focuses, first economy focus, Clamp down in Danzig, railways, (use only two decisions to integrate Danzig) ban the nazi party, do the focus that removes the isolation law and then the strike
alright
If I haven't done the math wrong, you should get the event where you get Anastasia like 35 days before ending the strikes focus
Although I believe I put in a second economy focus at some point somewhere, not sure
otherwise theres literally zero use to build a destroyer over a light cruiser
Is Ana the girl queen or something that people kept on telling me about when I was asking what path I should go down?
Yes
hello yalls wassup
Reject every candidate twice, and the ninth event will be (fake) Anastasia Romanov
No she shes the man queen 
If you fulfill the conditions, at some point you will be able to prove her usurpation, and change her to get another better leader, much better
I won't spoiler you
So it's Assemble the Regency Council, then the November Act
What is the economy focus called?
The four year plan or something
Ok, I see it all now.
The key is that you have started the strikes focus before January first 1937
Where is the remove Isolation law focus at?
Apart from that, this way you will have removed your shitty economy law, got your core on Gdansk and got s few civs
The focus after banning the nazi party
That leads to another branch
Integrate Gdansk industry or something like that
Okay.
Or go to war, then change trade law and dont bother with doing allat
Counterpoint: we are getting the brown ideology out of Gdansk
Pretty pointless?
What's the fun of the game without some RP?
Fr
Yea I dont do that
I mean for someone trying to tell me that Lithuanian PLC was "suboptimal" you dont really seem like a meta gamer lmao
I'll keep that stuff in mind.
So what are you even saying bro
I hadn't run the numbers, but I supposed that 2-3 years of AI industry can't be better than a player one
Well then go run the numbers and come back to me. And the difference will be extremely small. Point and Case: lithuanian PLc is stronger than Polish PLC despite a potentially weaker eco
🤷♂️
Although it is a shame that Baltics AI doesn't prioritise Industry, because with a year of economic focuses they could get ~8-10 factories each
I mean they are still pretty good, for example as sov annexing lat and est with 1 collab each, thats 30 civs right there in late 39
Ofc potential players will always be better than AI, but that shouldnt mean that annexing AI si someonehow bad yk
Not all players are better than ai... Honestly the majority arent compared to sheep..
No, but the snowball rolling could go faster
Thats supposing something thats extremely unrealistic and can therefore be safely ignored
99% of this server will be kissing the dust against sheep's ai
Why theorycraft around something so minor thats never going to come to pass
Its not that hard
Just have to read
Isn't Sheep's the one that put Bitt3rsteel to sweat?
Bittersteel isnt that good
It is but bittersteel isnt really that good at the game
Like I saw his short where he gave and was so mad
idk, the best I have seen
HE LITERALLY COULDVE WON RIGHT THERE
Clearly hasnt watched segl smh
Go watch him hes great
Segl is the best hoi4 player btw
How do you get those roles of yours, btw?
I would like to get the navy one
cursed
Sometimes the paradox gods come down and bless us with reaction roles
Check Channels and Roles
Should be at the top where the channels are
Thanks

Took me 7 years to cap the russians cus america had like 300 units helping them hold
killed 6 mil americans and only 1.5 russians
mod?
Rise of nations
Started at 1900
Yeah
nice
I puppeted austria in like the first year lol
and that just boosted me like crazy
I think germany is just really strong in that mod
yeah
For example its winter here, im outnumbered and out of guns and still pushing
What focuses do I do on the Free city of Danzig?
why did you even decide to play danzig
I'm playing as Poland
oh right
oh i see
Whatever u do, do right side
i thought you were playing danzig
So, what do I need to do?
Idk the one that bans the nazi party
time for another boring achievement
also annoying that its pretty much the only i can do as usa
Such a nothing burger achievement
also forgot to send this yesterday
from my finland run
probably my biggest ever encirclement
"my le bomb.... it le killed people"
thats like 1% of the axis army in 1948
was 1941 or 1942 tho
so its like 10%
I was gonna say that
yeah the bulgarians were gone after that
All of bulgaria was encircled
shit i forgot what to do as the usa
Ive never played the Us </3
crazy
Nah I get it
as US you just go to sleep and then keep sleeping because the game is just so damn easy
Its boring asf
apart from some of the new ones
yeah but i'd do it at least once
I think I did once at least
but idk didnt really wanna do it again
A nation I have never played though is new zealand
i wouldnt ngl 😭
im only playing for the achievement
really missing out
I know right 🤯
banger of a focus tree
Such riveting gameplay
i also dont think i've played them
unless they have an achievement
and i dont think they do
Also very annoyingly a scritped event just popped the russians back into existence so they could have a civil war
"a red tibet" 😭😭
💀
Also Tibetan India
Also I found it funny how romania just stood by and watched the central powers take all of europe
As if they could do anything
They might have at the beginning of the war
Now yeah its too late
they had a stronger army then the austro hungarians in 1900

you couldnt tell?💔
Playing the Us is like playing a sandbox game😭
not my fault theres an achievement to get here 😭
Hoi4 is already a sandbox game lmao
With random parameters that don't really make sense
Like how the doctrines are designed
Yes let's make the tank doctrine the best doctrine for inf and let's make the ww1 doctrine the best doctrine for tanks
But a rlly shitty focus tree 💔
same could be said about half the countries tho
The US is a major
Someone like Yugoslavia can be excused
same is the uk
i mean it isnt awful
but really underwhelming considering the current standards
also japan is terrible
but they're getting a dlc so its excusable
Turkey is only good because of the Ottoman Empire
It is abysmal
Honestly turkey also needs a rework
The Ottoman Empire focus tree should be bigger
It’s getting a rework confirmed
no it doesnt
i know
France too
It does
Ottoman Empire is the only good part and even it is small
a country that wasnt even important in ww2 btw
Half of it is useless filler
Also the ottoman path is super small
what isnt filler then
Did u ever try playing turkey
It’s horrible
The second half
It’s Switzerland level
i can imagine
i would understand the hate if it was a diff country
greece got done dirty in that dlc tho
romania is also abysmal
