Why aren't you garrisoning the UK ?
good question
Yeah
Ireland has no troops man, cmon
Vital British land
🗿
this is taking longer than I expected
i cant sleep fellas
What is mp aviation best template on japan
hoi4
sounds interesting
rip
Right when you sent this my game crashed
did you curse me
yes i cast a curse on you and the next 3 generations of ur family /s
Every 3 months costs 15€ here in the New World order (EU)
I have reached 1800
isn't there a thing on the div designer or somewhere that tells you what your division is, like "armored, mechanized, motorized, etc"
Make space marines
Putinism must be destroyed
i mean for the ratio of what your division is
Since I have limited manpower, I choose to make high quality infanftry for even my line infantry.
Not a bad division, but why does it cost 1754
idk
Lowkey I don't pay attention to that stat
Is that high ?
diamond encrusted gun grips
Depends
You may be able to afford it, you may not
Theres a bar on the right, right side middle a bit down
Might be because infantry equipment costs a lot a lot in TNO
I MEAN MULTI ROLE AIRFRAME
Ahead of time
I tried getting into this mod but the UI gives me a headache
It does that to me to
I played it a few more times and then got addicted
the main issue is that ur playing mp
(I'm trolling btw I'm not a nazi)
?
I love spending 40 dollars for a dlc padk

hi
I'm pretty sure Japan gets cost reductions somewhere in MP, but that said I believe you should be building planes with the same modules as other nations, but with carrier plane chassis I believe
IDK though someone do correct me on this
Kaluga and Goebbels 😭
whos the german leader
who is that
I have no clue
i was wondering if they would threaten to nuke
but hes a nazi so I will kill him
If I decline all their peace offers I think they do
Yeah I will take all of their eastern reichksommasariats
then ill accept
they should offer moskowienner soon
THE RUSSIAN MILITIARY IS INVINCIBLE!
Germany is more focused on taking arghanlesk then the easternfront
wow
You'd be in serious trouble
But no the AI is doing a bad naval invasion
Unfortunate
Man the einheitspakt is to weak
I had some resistence on the border for like 3 months then it just collapses
they dont even cover the front after a little
This is 10 divs that could be on the eastern front
1 or 2
The German airforce is shattered, but the victory was expensive, I estimate maybe 1K planes were lost to achieve supremacy in the air
rip
its june 37 on historical
Which nation are you?
belgium
Huh
the italians just lost on historical
Suez is mine
Nice
in exchange of guaranteeing Egypt's independence and nullifying it's debt
not a win-win, but meh
it's a singleplayer, I make the rules
oh nevermind
he still won though
yeah
to ensure that I will preserve hegemony in Mexico, I will guarantee Spanish independence
so we can together combat American anti-anti-anti-imperialism
Case 383833 of you not drawing fking arrows
gang how
I did
but I pushed by it t ofast
Good.
I have gotten much better about this
still forget to sometimes
Idk, the options just there
i hate forced peace treaties
how big should a deathstack be before its too big?
There's no limit
Do 28 carriers
And a billion dds
when you cant move it because the world runs out of fuel when you do
So probably 2K+ ships
💀
but i learned that it will eventually have supply issues
Make larger port
Ive had 3K+ ships sit fine in a port
Port just needs to be supplied enough
3 kids in a trenchcoat situation
fighting countries
Kaiserreich
why is it the same portrait as disguiser hitler
what, are you a Kemalist Loyalist or sth??
smh
the mongol empire reached turkey no
stacked
hmm that reminds me
my IGN in Blue Archive is Genghis Khan
I am coming close to conquering rank 1 PVP in my group despite not being max level
mid, only 5 attack only lvl8 🤬
prolly cuz he has media personality
there is no shitter front
make one.
its where u deport the divs that arent vets to
any div that has below 95% win of battles
elite soldiers
gets deported
since Pax Britannica is ending, I must proclaim Pax Francia
and so I must:
> Win Franco-Prussian war in the future
> Restore "Natural Borders of France"
> Conquer Egypt and assert hegemony over Mexico (preventing American intervention or beating it in a potential war)
> Lead the Parisian Conference (African colonization)
great
from being allies to being surrounded
i just have to wait until japan makes a naval invasion in shanghai
honestly it's quite a mess
I don't know how will Berlin Conference go
should I simply connect all my colonies and call it a day?
take all of it.
too much
Sheep have you ever tried the player vs the world mod
Its compatible with much stuff and makes this much easier
eval_effect every_other_country = { declare_war_on = { target = ROOT type = topple_government

I tried a paraguay game and couldnt push + hold because im bad
I mean i could hold
Just not push and hold territories
Also where would you put in target tag do you replace target?
Ahhh thanks
If you right click or sbdy else then ROOT is them
If left clicked on a state then ROOT is state
can do stuffs like
eval_effect ROOT.owner = { give_resources_right = { state = ROOT receiver = TAG
@misty fossil the 14/4 meta is revived
can't say Deutschland without L
Germany player, opinion discarded
roman ungern sternberg
crazy
656 soft attack is crazy
trying it out
very crazy
and the campaign is over
French korea
same pfp btw
Here's the updated map (with allies)
Pax Britannica prevented, Pax Francia prevailed
Glory to four Napoleons I guess
aldis
yh soviets🙏
cuz its op
but no skill required
its unfair and its forbidden for mp
tried to invade sinkiang early and well
whats the point of strat bombing and nukes?
org
organization ( the green bar ) represents how prepared a unit is to fight, if it gets too low the unit is forcibly retreated or stops attacking. strat bombing cripples the industry by dealing damage to buildings
late game can have so many deathstacks
so nukes are used as like softeners
does strat bombing reduce enemy org
no only the CAS attack thing bombing does
but strat bombing might disable a supply hub
are they worth building
depends on your playstyle
theyre a bit expenny
why motorised arty
more break
oh
and less suply usage
just use spg lol
also more hp
no but its 14/4
fair
what is the best optimization mod? my pc gets fried in 1941..
switzerland so fun
what is this cropping 💔
What possessed you to do this 😭
bro soviets have 1.1m deaths and i have 20k
i did use cmds for xp tho
😭
Wooow
You're not doing good you just cheated
It's a raid now
oml
Bottom right
ohh
Still cheating
oh yeah
Like dafuq
ok but i still did the heavy lifting
Nah
If you want ez exp and free fun start sending volunteers
Be a little gremlin in the world
Or yk, just go to war
Bro decided to play afk Switzerland 😭
That's full commitment tho
Why is your detection and efficiency so shit
is 1941
Like what
No fuel
Build State AA
Keep your air down
Does nothing
yuh
Shit
will be building it soon
Does stuff
It kills strats
First try
Not cas
I completely forgot about it cause I was invested in stronghold
no connection to the americans
What’s “fuel”
not that i have civs to spare
bro
oh
i'm still on civillian economy*
still confused how switzerland musters up more manpower than france at the start of the game
They have a massive army at the start
I wasn't looking
With manpower debuffs
Do u play fuwg
bruh i have to cycle through millitia canceling and then immediately calling them to reset the debuff
No, why?
Is that lu jian person good
Eh he's alright
Lol
I'm speaking purely theoretical
He knows a few things
But yea even I am prob better than him and I basically stopped playing mp
I'm washed now
1v1!! /s
I can micro 1v1 u
With that micro only mod?
Ye but it's outdated
I did that once and got massive tunnel vision
I looked at the south and all my inf was gone
Lol
next time, give GoE a 50% discount and I'll buy the trash so I can play as Persia
Even then its not worth
They should've added it as an update then it would be fine maybe
BLACKICE moment
💀
hope they give it the Wake the Tiger treatment
bro the german ai isnt even bothering to defend
They probably won't. Before that happens, they will make hoi5 lol
It took them 7 years to integrate old dlcs
Are u positive that they will keep hoi4 alive for another 7 years
Imma drop this here

📅 Updated for the latest HOI4 patch and DLC
🎮 Game: Hearts of Iron IV
Already seen it smh
I Just got It in my feed 💔
(It’s pinned in the ask for help channel)
Ts pmo
Ja
mass mob is most op build in the game
How Is battleplan build difficult tò counter? Just spam cas fr fr
doesnt work
Cuz it needs you to have spgs or bigger stockpile than the side that's attacking g
And green air
mass mob with anti air and maybe a few planes like the soviets is hell
But it mostly doesn't matter since those divs don't take cas damage
Then u clearly need more CAS
Spgs or spaa?
...did I say spaa?
Precisely.
Basically what battleplan and counter battleplan looks like is sov on mass mob and ger on gbp left mountaineer with spg tanks. This can counter sov battleplan
Ger battleplan just wins kind of always
Against sov*
Germany is always the greater one 🔥
And then get rolled by allies
battleplanning is the realistic way to play the game
how does 36w inf impossible to counter anyway
i dont get it
wouldnt putting a massive mech wall work
yay
Massive defense buff but not much more
Tanks
Very simple actually
Well if its mass mob then not
Then u need spgs and be very careful
If u open combat width on mass mob you're basically dead
Maybe? But u need the fuel for it and its very expensive
U can do normal med howi anyways
Right ye
Just slightly less efficient
Like its very beatable just 99% of the playerbase do not know how to click buttons
I click when green I don't click when red
Also remember how bad it is when gun2
Like gun2 is so much worse i cannot state how much easier it is to deal with
The amount of sov massmob builds I've seen get cooked cos they did gun2 instead of gun3 is like 10+
None of them have ever pushed past konigsberg
Gun2 sov battleplan 💀
U literally have nothing else to do
gun3 is that much better than gun2?
Why not go for gun3 lmaoook
YES
People just assume that gun2 is good enough if they cant get enough gun3
And then get mogged
By a ger that does heavy tds
crazy
Gun is the single most important thing when it comes to stats
Instead of spg or med howi
did you core all of the ussr
Lithuania:
i cored all the slavic states of the world
Oh
u can look in chrome
did you do that w poland???
ofc
guide when?
its the single way to do it
hiiiiii
i dont do guides
how di uu fend off germany?
js go fake romanov path
I would say supply is more important
tommykay ahh
Jellyfish spotted, opinion ignored
supply supply supply supply
80% of players havent joined a faction
Have you finally found your third braincell?
Goated opinion
Wait i had any braincells at all?
In ironman
Man thats amazing
Not ironman is basically cheating
Send the gif of smartest hhc player
I cba to scroll past 200 gifs (unironically)
I dount many people play mods without playing base game
Same for mp
Maybe a very small minoritt
I think most players js downloaded hoi4 and ndver played
Just one more supply hub, just one more... alr im deleting half the divisions
Target the argument, not the person
Nah
Imma target you because you're wrong 100% of the time
Maybe explain why im wrong sometimes
I've tried. I'm not going to.
And why youve banned me from bittersteel server
Guys, I found the source to happiness.
34 dlc💀 💀
W German guy for doing that
I have a lot more dlcs then what says there.
Idk why it doesn't include them.
Blud isnt tuff
Maybe the dlcs got integrated into the base game
Like man the guns
I have AAT, NSB, BFTB and I used to own MTG before it became free.
no dont do it you will loose all happiness
I have them all except for the cancerous GoE
I only got ToA because it came in a discounted pack
2 dlcs i could have perfectly lived without
italy can get like +30/40% compliance growth lmao?
i bought the ultimate pack on christmas i had it for like a lower price bcuz i had like 4 dlcs
how
advisor + that emanuele guy + italia irredenta
0.144% lol
Hi
3 chinas🥶
free dutch east indies bcuz netherlands denied the kaiser lol
yeah, the whole map's fu*ked, played non historical
end of run, can't be bothered with usa
activate windows
never
Puppeted raj nowhy
i don't want my italian MPs to get dysentery in india
That's not how that works
India pays for itself
Like u annexed everything else why puppet india
wdym, i was making a joke that i dont want garrisons there
it doesn't make sense to puppet them, I got the joke it just wasn't funny
it's not a minmax run, i have enough manpower dont care about them
could've annexed scandinavia as well
the war was over in 1940 anyhow
what mod
thats the name
i dont find it
Holy shit 😭
Try?
why u have only 400 hours of playtime
I feel ashamed to be so bad at the game
Is it just me who is slightly annoyed that the SS units in the game are considered militia? Because the SS were elite divisions IRL. I would understand if it was the SA but not the SS.
and militia sucks
Maybe they Will be come rangers units in the next update?
Who knows
Paradox should replace the SS divisions in the civil war with SA divisions.
Sa didnt exists in1936
They disbanded in 1934
what the hell is happening
Fair but the volkssturm atleast. Make the militia volkssturm, not SS.
Volksturms arent even a thing. It was a total war Emergency militia not a thing for a everyday war
thinking of doing afghanistan WC, i haven't played afghan since the update
is the tree any good?
Half of the country goes into civil war. That is an emergency IMO.
They wouldd become slave soldiers against regular infantry. Not so effective huh
They would defect 99% of the time
Neither are you
Make monarcisst broken
I mean, the junta gets landsturm.
Those are more like ww1 veterans or regular soldiers, not militia
Ok, I am just gonna admit defeat.
The GCW is a political thing, why wouldn’t the militias be the party paramilitaries? Volksturm was at the end of the war which they characterised as a national survival thing. Quite different
But Paradox should really change the SS divisions with something else.
Surely not special forces lol, they would be broken
I guess
Tbh they are the same as camicie nere, so pdx choice was kinda good for It, anyways SS were firstly not that "élite" so its a good thingy made the basic SS militias
Not in 1936
They formerly disbanded in 1934 following rohm death
Look it up dumb fuc
Ayo chill 
Your so confident abt smth ur incorrect
Dawg i aint AI
i can make mistakes
This ain’t AI even a dumb guy knows this


how should i design paratroopers to cap uk/france?
Good enough tò not be killed by their AA
should i go 10 or 18 width
I think 10 is good enough? Like, thats on my opinion, i use them Just tò cap them instantly or get a port and hold till the big of the army arrives, so basically, they wont have long life
aigh thx
They should change the landssturm tò stahlhelms fr fr
Hohenzollern enjoyers against wehraboos
what french path do I play non historical
Hey I just found a new fun fact
All you Had to do to get in the Ottoman Army was a Bit of shits n giggles
how would one go about playing as cnt-fai and actually winning
im botta invade the comintern as the ussr (india assumed leadership and kicked me)
It's really painful
The civil war, same as any other faction
But the Game afterwards, Not enjoyable at all
yeah i just want to win the civil war and go do something else
Easiest way is to somehow attract volunteers
not rlly
you dont get volunteers
gotta make your own elite units
I've never done that civil war because it's obnoxious, has stupid mechanics that have No reason being there
Simple as that huh
the unplanned offensive is great
swear to god if lower graphics don't make the game easier to understand
you can grind veteran divs
how is the terrain so clear
peace deal
maybe i should try anarchist spain
This
so much suffering
we good?
(fight for the fatherland and poland decleared on ME)
how do you play afghanistan? like i managed to cap india but i got 10 factories against UK
it's so shitty that UK even joins the war
i absolutely agree
maybe its a mod
why is that kinda hard
also somehow fascist italy is in the allies with commie uk
the color goes hard but not for fascist japan
fair
🔥
maybe a republic or something tho
vro can control 7521 divisions?
by blood alone or la resitance?
They did the democratic path
And democracy lost the civil war
That should be it
I did them all in the same playthrough….which is why I played until freaking 1967. The last 90 minutes was just afk waiting to get to 60% communist support to flip and get the last 3.
🔥
also its insane that its 2025 and they still didnt make the winning civil war sides take on the proper color
i've seen many cursed things because of that
how do I make special projects take less time?
Mass mob 😏
Mobile warfare
guys check alt hist mp channel pls
Boring


Superior Firepower is best doctrine
Meat walls tho.
Interesting
Its just not
Obv
Hi chris
Aura farming with artillery
Line artillery best support company
Hi Casey
The spanish civil war is so ass
The Soviets could probably have gone mobile warfare
I wonder if segl will join
Unplanned offensives
No thats not the issue
guys who wants alt hist game today? dm me
I see.
Controlling sevilla, madrid, bilbau, and that northern state and barcelona at the same time
And its like
I love having 3 divs in a single encircled tile in madrid
Wow i have to manage units being so all over the place
paradox employees need to touch grass
Wb you? 
Yes. All the micro
If i run hoi4 very fast, does that means my cpu is strong?
femBOY and feMALE are the same thing
This a good battlecruiser
Knew it
istg the carlists are on my side
they capped the nationalists and now they leave their capital open
they left burgos, bilbao and pamplona open
What
Just spitting some facts
Idk why but femboy looks.cute even though im straight
Are you attracted tò women because they look likes femboys or are you attracted tò them femboys look likes women
😏
Femboy cuz they look like womeb
No femboy and trans are the same thing but with different pronouns
Opinion on organisation
Looks pretty good
It's also MLP FIM's 15th anniversary so I'll be getting on Equestria at War later today
U were gonna get on it anyways
Mentalité
I don't speak that dialect of english
its french
Still a dialect
I've been very busy studying for the past few days
Just culture convert the whole France tò english, best eu4 moemnt
And tomorrow I'll have a day off outside to touch some grass
Bro look at this
Austria is allied with burgundy
And burgundy is in the HRE
so Paris is in the HRE
Ignore Byzantium
In fact, France was all a myth
No personal Union?
Guys
Nah
Marine temp for mp fast
*ignore georgia
As Australia 😭
I am ignoring rhat
The game started with the ottoman abandoning Anatolia
Then they retook it
Yet their capital Is still in the balkans lol
marine template with more mountaineers than marines
It’s a mountaineer marine not a marine mountaineer
I like to add a tank
25 is the goat bro
For what
for everything
Bro's fighting themselves 😭
18 is the goat
12
40
hell no
I want to say something but I’m not allowed to say it
25 is the best for pushing as infantry bro
18 is the best for everything
nah
Youd use this for anything but china war and say its good
4x4 inf with 3 art is the goat
40w best width
hell no i never play in asia
😭
'anything but'
yeah or africa
4x4 inf with 3 art is the best for everything except low supply zones (but what is good there)
18w inf 🦅 🦅 🦅 🇱🇷 🇱🇷 🇱🇷 🇱🇷 🔥 🔥 🔥 🔥 🗣️ 🗣️ 🗣️ 🗣️ 🗣️
My standard infantry division
Line Arty bad
Takes away org and makes the div bigger
This is keystone
Its not
Admiral ackbar has some advice on line artillery
Why
Subscribe if you like my content. Tried to do something different this time.
Haven't gotten my hands on the new DLC but will make video on it when it comes out.
Music used:
Personal Jesus
This video sums it up perfectly
Who says 20k tanks
Special forces and mass mob exist
I need such amount of tanks to staff divs
I love special forces now, as I went for mountaineers as Italy with GBP
They ended up shredding, Romania, Turkey, Greece and France
Ok
How many divs do u have
Guh
120?
120 tank divs?
No
Also doesn’t require production lines for tanks with sf’s
Which means I can focus more on navy as Italy
Which is imporant
Uh its a fact
They are…?
Ragebait
I can make a 12 ic basic medium tank
But he didn't say how u get thousands of tanks to 1939
And have 1000’s of those out
Only as Germany tbh
Military factories
🔥
Arty gives no breakthrough and reduces org and is expensive
Thats why its bad
Because it stacks up
And tanks dont reduce org as we all.know
You end burning through artillery faster
Better breakthrough and can be fixed with mech
no focus tree...
Its Ireland
its a mod
They are basically irrelevant
IK
ive seen many mods with good ireland focus trees
Make more mils put less mils on useless stuff like support equipment, trucks, basic planes
KX and kr for example (kx does it better)
I only have 3-5 mills on support equipment
For the whole game
Thats as Italy though
So tanks are not my main priority
Should be as anyone 
True
why did they add so many events for this if they dont give it a focus tree
why does this have a superevent
just why
the flag gore this just looks so bad
How torturous is it
Not really
France now be like:
Blitzkrienging my way into Paris rn
Me whenever I go EU path as Imperial Germany
Only general is manstein on the western front
Rest are on the eastern one
Take Poland out quickly
The move to the UK
Prepare myself for the fight w russia
And knock them out early before they start taking advantage of the end game buffs
After 500 hours i realized that hoi4 is easier than most people say
The only big issue is how to manage armies, air forces and navies
Especially when big
Agreed 100%
Construction and production might be hard at first, but can can be learned
I partially solve this via the theatre’s option and playing on slower speeds
spain moment
This happened in Spain the early 400s too
i dont know why but all of these provinces were dirt cheap
probably player led peace conferences
And the migrating germanic Vandals Suebi and Iranian Alans poured into the province through the Pyrenees @subtle elm
The western Roman Empire had to get the visigoths to help them
In exchange for territory in Aquitaine around modern Bordeaux
Exactly
does anyone know the estimated time of release for the Czech DLC?
i dont understand it in the steam page
Let me check
The 2nd quarter of 2026
thanks
hi guys
I need some help
I made a cool motorized division as mexico with man the guns dlc but
the div isn't too good as far as I'm seeing
i am doing mobile warfare doctrine
the division has Support Artillery, Engineer Company and Motorized Recon
For main battalions it has 9 mobilized battalions and 3 mobilized artillery
When I engage in battle, for example against the germans, it just stays on like 83 Or something (green bubble) without changing. As if it's like stalling or something.
What did I do wrong and does anybody know what it is?
very cool
G1 Bioncle ended in 2010 unfortunately
might be cooked
G1 MLP ended in 1992
The only bad thing about that year to me as a kid
After a long 10 years
playing a game as romania
i plan on improving templates by 1938, possibly adding anti-air and field hospitals, but what do you think about this for a bit
It’s a good holding division I’d say
yay
Are u using any mods
Maybe with some support anti air too for the piercing and any red air
I like the graphics
yeah
is this division good for defending as belgium
it's kind of a "historical" mod
Oh god
i havent played this game in months idk what to do
Remove the line artillery and add 1-3 battalions
I’d up to a 20 width
bro....
NEVER play multiplayer vro
your being attacked from all sides why not increase your combat width bruh
I never play MP too
what should i change
Especially after what happened the one time I did
Which was
@coarse willow do u have manpower
No line arty 1 and 2 7-10 infantry battalions
its working ig
2022?
a bit
make it bigger and attempt to find a replacemeant for arty if you can
ok then dont change it
What happened
I dont think he has enough MP for it
I got called the n word among other things for being a noob
Thats what I meant
wdym by replacement
Get good then
yeahh no
lol
you wont afford for the manpower
I good now I just don’t like playing MP with randoms
atleast he has AA
do i just stick to my current template or delete some divs and make them bigger
I hate when I have to waste like 5K gold for ponny activities
and in return I just get 700 gold for completing the tasks
I would advise you to stick with them
because you cant afford for the manpower
i technically have some mp i have like 8 units in recruitment
and it may actually hurt you
italy is trying to control yugoslavia by boosting fascist influence
because you are constantly attacked
while im trying to boost democracy and expand my faction
arty sucks, literally anything other then armored cars are better
acc?
i remember it being really good
did they change it?
italy's doing the same with me
-# im trying to go the democracy way
Ban fascism
then it removes their modifier afaik
if it gives 2/3 the amount of soft attack arty does then its better per combat width
Arty is trash
i agree
ngl arty was one of the big reasons for losses at both WWs
so sad to see they are nerfed here
gonna have to do anti-fascist raids first
Special forces are awesome as countries with a medium and small industrial base
is this better
Yes
yep
what nation?
dont change it unless they stop attacking
Try again with a different group
should i change all my units at once or will that mess up entrechment n shit
oh alr il make a duplicate
