non hist hoi4 games mean the game runs well

How do i unite Germany as wolgagermany

[winged abyss]

How tf does navy work

[safe wing]

Carriers and Light cruisers are good

destoryers are cannon fodder

and you want 8 destroyers for every captial

I heard subs are good

Idk know tho

[safe wing]

for convoy raiding yes

for naval supremacy no

[winged abyss]

Side tangent I’m soooo excited for Japan update

[safe wing]

too much information

Not enough information

[nocturne cedar]

ew

a japan main player

[glacial oasis]

moaned at this

[winged abyss]

I don’t play Japan because it’s so dated that’s why I’m excited

[nocturne cedar]

i hope the new rework is terrible so everyone hates japan

europe is wayyy better than the asian countries

[sudden thistle]

Just wondering that’s all

[uncut pollen]

yeah

i tried making the brd but poland didnt want it

so that the gdr was on the right sight

[nocturne cedar]

just messing with you

so

[nocturne cedar]

[umbral agate]

how much efficeincy do i keep if im licensing something off of my ally then i make it myself

[deep solstice]

niche question

I forgot efficiency was a thing

[heavy vigil]

Full

[umbral agate]

alr

[heavy vigil]

-35% output if not in faction -25% if in faction

I believe

[umbral agate]

yea

[heavy vigil]

But your cap stays the same

[umbral agate]

im trying sheeps mod rn

i might be cooked

[deep solstice]

Why did we (the allies) team up with the remaining nazi/reich forces

to invade the USSR

[heavy vigil]

Why?

[deep solstice]

How is hitler STILL here bro

[umbral agate]

last time it took me 8months to kill poland

mass mob poland

[deep solstice]

go away bro PLEASE

[heavy vigil]

If its about air you should license exploit

[umbral agate]

with the op defending tactic

[deep solstice]

I have to justify AGAIN

[heavy vigil]

Ok go west first then

[umbral agate]

??

[heavy vigil]

Through maginot isnt hard in this version

[umbral agate]

should i get railway guns then

[heavy vigil]

If you license a fighter, change the module to CAS then back to fighter

[heavy vigil]

Dont distract yourself with ultimately kinda useless things

German stats are insane

[umbral agate]

what does that do

[heavy vigil]

You have gbp planning +operational planning decision + bohme you can grind as general + veterans

[heavy vigil]

no license penalty and MIO

[dusky burrow]

no bulli

[heavy vigil]

Ai does it too

[umbral agate]

k

when should i build air

its may 1938 rn

i was thinking like september 38

[sharp sierra]

never

[heavy vigil]

Idk when you want

You dont need to until after france cap

You should make refs in 38 tho

[dusky burrow]

Imagine if this fully worked

(problem is that I can't add more elephants to division)

[umbral agate]

what are those soft attack stats bro

thats like

nearly as good as tanks

[sharp sierra]

true what the hell

[vapid bough]

The elephants got machine guns on their backs

[dusky burrow]

Let me check something

[dusky burrow]

I mean I did console this

I tagged afghanistan, did their elephant focus, and then puppeted afghanistan as iceland

And yes this works if you only puppet a part of a nation

[uncut wraith]

why the hell does only one autosave get saved

[bitter nexus]

furthest I have ever gotten..

[uncut wraith]

its extremely irritating when i mess up on like the 30th of a month and then i’m stuck with it because it autosaves 2 microseconds later

[deep solstice]

yall think I have enough

https://tenor.com/view/diary-of-a-wimpy-kid-gif-10668685645869192471

[dusky burrow]

elephants use both infantry and artillery equipment for some reason, and the game seems to sum their values and multiply by 0.75

[drifting kiln]

fr lol

[dusky burrow]

And then add 0.05 * 3 to the 0.75 for those infantry attack bonuses

[drifting kiln]

beating the allies in 1940 is gay u have to let them live so they are actually hard to fight

[fair horizon]

can they double stack bonuses like mechanized?

like are they counted as artillery and infantry?

[dusky burrow]

I think they are only counted as infantry

[bitter nexus]

im trash🥀 💔

[heavy vigil]

Cav

[drifting kiln]

yeah but its not fun if u do it like that because it makes the game a free win because uk is very underdefended in 1940 and u can get easy naval supremacy

then soviets is easy kill with allied reasources

[dusky burrow]

Oh right, thanks

RIP me

[fair horizon]

elephants dumb >:(

why no double stack pdx

[fickle thicket]

in july 41, aint bad

[dusky burrow]

Yeah ain't bad

US is screwed

[fickle thicket]

i usually kill em (the soviets and allies) by 42 then wait for the bomb in 45 then kill the americans

[heavy vigil]

Its important because it means they only really benefit from GBP

[misty fossil]

why is the pound sterling abbreviated to GBP anyway

great british pound?

[opal nymph]

This was the name of a little used tactic the British used on Africans during colonization

This is a bad joke

[gleaming iron]

guys i heard that this will become a mod soon

[dusky burrow]

I mean they could probably just taken on the US right now

They would have Canada

[fickle thicket]

true

[heavy vigil]

spain is BAD

i dont have the braincells to fix my own war

[fickle thicket]

spain is pain we all know

[heavy vigil]

i hate

hate

spanish civil war frontlines

theyre so cancerous

[dusky burrow]

True

[heavy vigil]

maybe its also a me issue because i try to hog all the mils

but its so bad

[solid geode]

what happen in multiplayer lobby lol

can someone fix we tryna host

[dusky burrow]

pick your own poison I guess

[heavy vigil]

my frontlines end up being like 6 disconnected messes i dont have the units to fill all frontline tiles for

and then i either win through cancer micro or i lose because i get snaked

its easy to win when theres no vols tho

[dusky burrow]

imagine adding volunteers 😭

[dire basin]

Someone know if The fire rises have some censor to be able to streaming?

[deep solstice]

that was a bit rough

I only took the mineral areas

and left the shitty resource deprived USSR back to stalin 😭 ✌️

[solid geode]

mods cant u do somethingg

look in the multiplayer

[umbral agate]

casey

the sheeps mod did not go well

they have like 3000 defense and i cant breakthrough

[deep solstice]

bruh...

I thought it was automatic

[opal nymph]

F

[deep solstice]

I have nearly 100 hours in this game

and the entire time

every run

every war

[opal nymph]

Those are rookie numbers

[deep solstice]

ik

but considering I didnt even use the war plans

💔

[opal nymph]

Well I never use the war plans as USA lol

[deep solstice]

I learned... NAVY before i learned war plans

[opal nymph]

I keep saving them for later

[deep solstice]

💔

[fair horizon]

i feel sick i built destroyers

[opal nymph]

And then I win the war before I use them

[deep solstice]

my navy kicks ass

[opal nymph]

Hey, if you spent 50 dollars they can hold planes on their models

[deep solstice]

🤑

[deep solstice]

😭

[fair horizon]

i hate that, that should be a cruiser model

[bright arrow]

Is the sharpen air safety only for whoever wants the HRE path?

[uncut pollen]

Finaly some good Internet speeds

[bright arrow]

In Germany

[opal nymph]

Yeah, but apparently the based it on a large destroyer hull

Or something

[uncut pollen]

Yes

[opal nymph]

They wanted destroyers to have something

[uncut pollen]

I think

[bright arrow]

Cuz that thing debuffs your plane efficiency for 3 years lol

[opal nymph]

But it guarantees the hindenberg doesn't explode

So do you gamble or take the penalties

[fair horizon]

I WANT THE USS LANGLEY AND I WANT IT NOW PARADOX

[deep solstice]

Honestly

I feel so peaceful now

that was such a stressful set of wars 😭

it was 9 entire years of fighting

and now its over

I get to put my generals on garrison

and enjoy the weather

I have my first division still here

[opal nymph]

Me when I want my converted cruiser hull that holds 10/20 planes

[deep solstice]

this is it

the 26th 'Yankee' Division

has survived 9 years in the war

[opal nymph]

Do you have by blood alone

Actually i think you can still see how many casualties it took even without it

[deep solstice]

how do I check?

[opal nymph]

Click the helmet of it I believe

It will show template and the history is believe

[deep solstice]

🙁

well if we think logically

its atleast 100K

they were on the soviet front

german front

and japanese front

when I said these dudes have fought with me since day one

they are a NATIONAL GUARD

I dont even train national guard

Ive NEVER trained them

[broken sky]

Hey, y'all

How do you usually bash inside of France at this point of the game:

UK I can take, no problem

But Belgium seems to be extremely hardened, along with Netherlands when I try a '38 invasion

[deep solstice]

well unless your in iron-man mode

obviously make a save

but sometimes what I do is a 2 fronted assault

[broken sky]

Ironman

😎

[deep solstice]

well play smart then

but I played germany 4 times

this worked every time

[broken sky]

I did like 3-runs ngl

[buoyant fractal]

i bet hes great at that

[broken sky]

Germany is easier, given the non-existent debuffs in the army

[deep solstice]

do a 2 fronted assault with your armies

[broken sky]

?

I did

[deep solstice]

and use the netherlands to encircle belgium

[broken sky]

Both in Belgium and Netherlands, concentrated armor

[deep solstice]

try to split netherlands in half

[broken sky]

Trying to encircle Netherlands

[deep solstice]

thats what I do

and then destroy them entirely

[broken sky]

Usually, for Germany, its much more easier for me

[deep solstice]

then you have 2 fronts on belgium alone

[broken sky]

But for some reason France likes to meatwall me

[deep solstice]

and then from belgium you encircle

top down

like in real WWII

with your forces on the main France front distracting them

[broken sky]

That's the problem, though

[deep solstice]

and eventually encircling them in the main land

[broken sky]

France tries to meatwall me

[deep solstice]

instead of like in WWII

[fair horizon]

idc i want it

[deep solstice]

let me draw a map real quick

[broken sky]

I have troops holding in maginot (a few of them)

And then the entirety of the Soviets

When I play Germany, of course its an EZ invasion (no matter if its '36 or '40)

For some reason though, France seems a bit supercharged when I do it as the Soviets

[deep solstice]

maginot line

should be held not pushed

and hten do an encirclement around the maginot from the now split netherlands -> belgium -> the upper torso of France

btw this is from my save right now so ignore the colors

better version quality

use distractions and then encirclements/multi-sided battles

Ive never played on the highest difficult tho

difficulty*

[broken sky]

That's what I usually do

[deep solstice]

so if they whoop ur ass its not my fault 😭

maginot line lore

[broken sky]

Arghhh, I'll somehow try to sack them with my own population supremacy

Curse the Red Army debuffs

[deep solstice]

Germany is the strongest

tbh

like 1 division vs 1 division

germany almost always wins

[broken sky]

I mean I guess, since they don't have incredibly crippling debuffs

[deep solstice]

they had like 7 million on me

I only killed 3.5 million

I won by numbers

[broken sky]

But gamewise, Soviets are generally the strongest (for me)

[deep solstice]

not by strength 😭

[deep solstice]

the soviets are just stupid

[broken sky]

Tank roaching with your industry is so goated asf

[deep solstice]

they will get pushed back 400 miles from moscow

and just

spawn 40 divisions

[broken sky]

60+ tank divs is so satisfying

[deep solstice]

Stalin js spawning people once you stop helping him 😭

like as the US

as soon as the USSR declared on the UK

stalin locked in

spawned in like 50 divisions

slammed the germans

and then just lost to the allies right after

how much does hardness matter for light tanks?

cause tbh i have no clue what the stat means

[true needle]

I keep getting in this loop of starting a nation, playing until around 1939, and then getting bored and quitting

I cant really find a nation I actually enjoy

and im having trouble actually learning how to build a proper division, half the time I check the battle to see why I have a red bubble its because jupiter is in retrograde or something

before anyone asks, yes ive looked up guides and watched youtube videos but that doesnt really help me learn how to play, just copying what others do and because I dont really understand why im doing something I end up failing anyways

[fickle thicket]

what nations have u played

[true needle]

I wish HOI4 was more like factorio where the game teaches you what your tools are and what they do and then you have to use them to figure out how to solve a problem, any time something stops working you can easily figure out why its not working

half the time in HOI4 when something doesnt work its because ??????

[true needle]

germany, USA, poland, communist china, honduras, el salvador, chile, peru, sweden, norway, hungary, canada

[fickle thicket]

base game or dlcs

[true needle]

granted, some of these where in road to 56

[split bane]

You might be able to white peace them out after you kill Canada but idk it's been a while since I played KR

[true needle]

ive got MTG, NSB, AAT, BBA, gotterdammerung

[fickle thicket]

youve been playing mostly minors without focus trees (i think idk all the dlc contents)

[true needle]

I used road to 56 to give them focus trees

[fickle thicket]

tbh stick with majors for now master say russia then start actually playing minors and other major powers

and try out different builds/cws see what works or doesnt

then go with what works

[trail beacon]

I got 30 minutes in hel achievement today. Where can I find the video from 2018 pdxcon?

[true needle]

yeah thats what ive been trying to do but HOI4 is so intentionally confusing that I cant understand why something fails, one thing out of a thousand things could have failed and i'd have no idea why

[fickle thicket]

look up guides

[true needle]

"why no green air"

"plane not good enough"

"ok how is it not good enough"

"idk plane not good enough"

[true needle]

I have

[fickle thicket]

ive seen excellent planes get shot down everything in numbers works

[trail beacon]

Heavy machine guns, largest engines, armor, seals if you can afford the rubber

[fickle thicket]

mostly

[trail beacon]

Oh and small body

[true needle]

I sort of understand planes and tanks, tanks I understand quite a bit because they are simple, keep speed at 8km/h to match motorized, prioritize breakthrough and soft attack, keep reliability at 80% or higher

[fickle thicket]

for inf do 18 cw support art. and aa plus shovels

[true needle]

I do that

[trail beacon]

If you play majors I recommend 10 infantry and 5 artillery with support artillery, support artillery, and engineers

[fickle thicket]

have u been pushing with inf

[true needle]

5 artillery battalions?

[true needle]

if I have tanks no, if I dont have tanks then I have to

[trail beacon]

Yuh. If you want 35 widths

[fickle thicket]

if ur on a budget use mountaineers or marines

[true needle]

im gonna be real with you, im not putting 5 artillery in one division, thats just asking for a 300 billion artillery deficit

[fickle thicket]

thats for mid-late game

[trail beacon]

If you want cw 18 you can do 6 infantry and 2 artillery

[true needle]

I put at most 3 in my mountaineers

[sonic sand]

juicy

[true needle]

I dont play until 45, most of the time I dont even reach 40

[trail beacon]

You just need as many mils on artillery as small arms

[sonic sand]

MMMMMMM

[bright arrow]

The plane thing is real

[fickle thicket]

average encirclement failure from the commies

[bright arrow]

My planes always suck for some reason, dispite me using the "good" designs

[sonic sand]

they naval invaded bulgaria and romania

so I had to go and tell them to go somewhere else

[fickle thicket]

feast ur eyes buddy

[true needle]

I do 9 infantry with support arty, engineers, support AA

for attack I do something like 30w medium tanks with a minimum of 30 org, support AA, support arty, engineers, logistics, and a wildcard support slot, often recon

[sonic sand]

MMMMMMMM

[fickle thicket]

mid

[fickle thicket]

personally i use 36w

[sonic sand]

this is as hungary

[trail beacon]

Imma be real with you, I don’t use tanks in single player

[bright arrow]

Your divs are good, what matters is where and how you use them

[true needle]

the infantry defends and I use 3-4 medium tank divisions to punch holes and form encirclements

[fickle thicket]

ik u can do funny as horthy even funnier than 350k men

[sonic sand]

nah

as otto

[wet plover]

Holy crap HOI4 is so laggy rn, it does not like a Allies vs Soviet war 😭

[fickle thicket]

close enough

[true needle]

I dont play germany anyways

[fickle thicket]

have u been playing on historical

[sudden thistle]

Lore accurate genghis khan

[true needle]

honestly most of my game time has been in EaW, not vanilla

[trail beacon]

Just have a coast guard

Or, even better, be naval Germany

[fickle thicket]

play vanilla get the feeling then go into mods

[true needle]

ironically enough I know how to do navy

[trail beacon]

Never sleep on the naval germany player

[fickle thicket]

no base navy germany carries

[true needle]

in my case its the other way around, I played mods and now vanilla is unfamiliar

[sudden thistle]

Yall do coast guards?

I just bring the divs from Moscow to do it

🔥

[fickle thicket]

play vanilla trust me youll get there eventually

[deep solstice]

1951

And Hitler is declaring on poland

🤧

[sonic sand]

HOW ARE YOU THIS USELESS GERMANY

[fickle thicket]

i detect funny

[true needle]

im not playing germany as that requires perfect planning

not playing russia because I dont feel like playing for 8 hours straight just to lose

and the USA is boring

so all thats left is minors and most of them in vanilla suck or are locked behind a 30$ DLC

[cunning hill]

What template you guys use when invading Soviet Union

[sudden thistle]

Just don’t lose

If u play for 8 hours

[deep solstice]

Planning is peak

[trail beacon]

You need 10w inf with anti air supp + engineers. Have two per dockyard

[sudden thistle]

Ik but I just don’t do it

[fickle thicket]

planning beforehand and during execution is the way to go

[sudden thistle]

AI can’t monopolize off the naval invasions

[fickle thicket]

based off your logic, how do you decide what country to even play

[true needle]

I look up fun countries to play and go with what people say

most of the time I play until 39, get bored, and then go play something else

[fickle thicket]

define fun in the case of you

[true needle]

I havent really found a nation that I really enjoy yet

[true needle]

honestly not sure

I do know whats not fun, the USA and UK

[fickle thicket]

then there is no fun when u cant even define it

because you dont know what it is

[fair horizon]

play romania and find fun in having literally nothing

[pallid socket]

Maybe a France might be fun? Kinda mid to fast paced as you need to prepare for the coming Germans and Italians and if you fail to hold them back you can do a whole reconquest

Or you can be the Germans steamrolling everyone

[fickle thicket]

perfect

[true needle]

i've thought about it, but ive heard that france starts in a really bad position in the beginning of the game and you have germany to contend with

[true needle]

tried that but the allies stuff 500 divisions into the benelux and my tank divisions cant push

and then I run out of oil

[fickle thicket]

ive played a few france games no way in hell im doin that again

[fickle thicket]

thats what romania is for

[pallid socket]

Well that’s kinda the point you start in a rough position and get better enough to eventually hold and roll over Germany

[true needle]

im not playing romania, I dont think getting dogpiled by the soviets is particularly fun

[pallid socket]

You import oil from Romania

[fickle thicket]

no im talkin in the case of germany

import mass amounts of oil

[pallid socket]

Spain is also a pretty fun nation at least to me

you basically start off the game already making decisions to the path you wanna go

[fickle thicket]

cant play it cuz i dont have the dlc

and refuse to play base tree spain

[sharp mason]

Dude hoi4 just updated like 5 minutes ago

[hoary mortar]

Now i gotta eep cya fellas have a good weekend

[clear dagger]

this mod is whacky as hell

[uneven portal]

pls dont

if ur making an attacking div

just use tanks

if u cant afford it

[vale sonnet]

Yall got a Sora Ai code

[uneven portal]

use mountaineers

and dont use line arty

unless ur doing 14/4 cus its meta

[fair horizon]

alderaan better watch out

[misty fossil]

make it 14/4

14/4 has very high soft attack and 40w is optimal for pushing with infantry

[crisp wyvern]

hello fellow yuan dynasty enjoyers

i had to download a russia focus tree rework because im too broke to afford the no step back dlc

[tardy marten]

What best mod for MP, with original hoi4 focus tree?

[coral gorge]

[tardy marten]

Just remove countries like South America and Arabs?

[coral gorge]

[marsh ravine]

[wary sparrow]

1939 and finishing off the balkans

[grim scroll]

[opal nymph]

Who did you side with?

One heck of a balkanized world

3rd international dead. Entente dead, reichspakt dead, Russia dead

[marsh ravine]

World conquest😭

He put everyone in the not mongol alliance or whatever

[opal nymph]

Ah

Funny how America cant be balkanized outside the civil war

[fair horizon]

united states

cant release the states

[marsh ravine]

Cos they're united🙄

[opal nymph]

Truly united. Only we can ununite ourselves

[gusty oracle]

missed opportunity

god bless america

[fair horizon]

so is the united kingdom and you can release like scotland and stuff

[opal nymph]

Except Hawaii and Puerto Rico

They are able to be split off in the mod

[gusty oracle]

but were better

[marsh ravine]

The United kingdom was never real in the first place

Wait, that's french

Ah yes, new deal france

[tough zealot]

[tardy marten]

France honor the confederate

Truly a France interesting history there

[tardy marten]

When you Puppeting yourself

[broken sky]

Holy hell, is that so incredibly inaccurate

But yeah

[broken sky]

Nth-French Republic declaring war on whoever monarch dynasty is up on the throne only to be replaced by an absolute dictator for the nth-unsurprising time

[deep solstice]

LOL

THE NAZIS FORGOT TO FORTIFY THE LAST PART OF THE GERMAN REICH

AND I IMMEDIATELY CAPILATED IT

😭

id secretely been planning this

had to wait for hitler to declare though

2 day war

are we SERIOUS

[broken sky]

I am genuinely tweaking

[deep solstice]

we are very different rn

I just crushed the last Nazi regime in 4 days

[broken sky]

Well, I'll just duck off and kick France out in '40, I guess

[deep solstice]

😭

I control like 30% of the earth gng

[broken sky]

The Soviet army is an incredibly defensive army.

[broken sky]

omg why is it so incredibly easy with germany, but not for the soviest

[deep solstice]

ik yall see that FREEDOM everywhere...

i wasnt kidding btw

literally the worst last stand ever

[clear dagger]

brr

[fair horizon]

why cant we do medium carrier planes?

[final ingot]

too fat

[fair horizon]

no they aint

[final ingot]

fat

[heavy vigil]

you can

but only on ice carriers

[fair horizon]

yeah i mean on regular carriers

[heavy vigil]

carrier small

[fair horizon]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doolittle_Raid

no

[final ingot]

they couldnt land

[fair horizon]

i hate your logic

[final ingot]

they had to go to china instead and one ended up in soviet union

250K chinese civilians died because they allowed the landing

[fair horizon]

well most of them ended up dumping in the ocean

[final ingot]

its just impractical

[fair horizon]

but it should still be possible methinks

[fair horizon]

yeah but also like it would be cool

lemme have this smh

[final ingot]

its so expensive and pointless

china should get an event -250K manpower i think that way its historically accurate

[tribal zephyr]

ребят есть русскоговорящие

[gusty oracle]

[toxic lotus]

Opinion on line arty king

[eternal palm]

Might change though

New dlc has some changes to it that might be worthwhile

[valid prairie]

why was stalin surprised by the german invasion? he couldve just looked at their focus tree 😹

[toxic lotus]

Yea it will kinda

[eternal palm]

🤯

There is actually more to this

He had so much intel that the Germans were to attack from credible sources, he just chooses to not believe it

This happens multiple times during the war aswell

Well before stalingrad

[gusty oracle]

he quite literally didn't look at his focus tree

he chose not to belive it

[toxic lotus]

France rework when

[valid prairie]

stalin was terrible at this game ngl

[eternal palm]

When LR is part of the game

[valid prairie]

bittersteel would beat the crap out of stalin

[eternal palm]

Eh he got better

His gens got good grind

Chuikov got urban in stalingrad

[toxic lotus]

Wilhelm ii vs hitler vs tommy

I feel like tommy will crush them

[valid prairie]

why didnt hitler just force attack stalingrad?

was he dumb?

[eternal palm]

Don't siege leningrad, take it immediately

:clueless:

[valid prairie]

duh, ofc!

i remember that reference tho

'ignore africa'

💔

[toxic lotus]

Hitler had massive skill issue

[eternal palm]

[valid prairie]

why didnt hitler just do the port exploit at dunkirk?

is he dumb or something?

[eternal palm]

He thought cas could strength delete divs 😭

Bro didn't have navs

[valid prairie]

such a rookie mistake ngl

so dumb he didnt just go on the hoi4 discord and ask for help

smh

[fair horizon]

[valid prairie]

On a fking Saturday I hate my professor

[fervent minnow]

god damn

thats just rude atp

[fair horizon]

how is the refit cost higher than production

[fervent minnow]

this some apple electronics type shit

just go make a new one lmao

[fair horizon]

might as well make a 1940 one for that price :/

[coral gorge]

actually, why tf should I even accept this 🤔

[fervent minnow]

[fervent minnow]

oh

i don't know jackshit about rt56

i never played it lol

probably should

[fair horizon]

its alright

also apparently its way less to actually convert

[fervent minnow]

hold on why didn't you even convert it in the first place yeah

[fair horizon]

was building out a navy so id be able to support carriers

[fervent minnow]

oh alr

i hate navy

like i know designs and whatnot but

god its boring

[fair horizon]

i love building boats

i havent left my island

[south spear]

So

I bought a new PC

and my game runs CRAZY fast

before I had 8 gb ram and it was fast only at the beggining and then slowed as the game goes on

now I have 32 gb and its so fast, its actually a bit uncomfortable

while speed 4 is a bit too slow

is there a way i can slow the game artificially xDD

[trim pike]

Dead ahead

[simple citrus]

rate these borders

[misty fossil]

guys new meta

[tiny iris]

Partition to replace Landsturmregiments with Freikorps in the German civil war?

Atleast make them a part.

I am studying the Freikorps and I think those would be great historical divisions to have fighting for the monarch.

[tiny iris]

Wtf is that hp?

And that speed

Light tanks main thing is speed.

But it is slow af since since you put it on slow artillery.

Nevermind that cost.

So much cost for so little gains

[haughty gulch]

which doctrine is best for a calvary army? im talking like 100 divisions of 16 width calvary with support art and support aa

[misty fossil]

GBP

well GBP is good for everything

unless you want to run pure infantry then mass mob right is best

[haughty gulch]

how do i improve this template?

[slim nexus]

2 lines of meidum tanks, and light tanks. 3 mechanized 1 truck. Final line 4 artillery.

Support: radio + logisgic + anti tank

[slim nexus]

WOAH INTERESRING

[haughty gulch]

what about calvary

[fervent minnow]

geniune question what good even does cavalry do

just go with lights instead atp

[haughty gulch]

im playing mongolia

lots of calvary buff

and also lore accurate

[fervent minnow]

right

are u guys proud of me?

[brave steeple]

cetus better tbh

[brave steeple]

their navy

tho

also unrelated

the russians have fell

[clear dagger]

yeah i dont think they have 2 super heavy battleships now do they

[brave steeple]

3rd actual good use of superevents

[brave steeple]

they had like 10

which for the time

was very good

[marsh ravine]

Difficult, but allies should always land after they wave dday enough times

[clear dagger]

they have battleships not superheavies

[brave steeple]

and

for the time

[clear dagger]

pretty sure

[brave steeple]

at the start

they had a lot

wait let me rq check the wiki i know they had a absurdly large navy

The approximate statistics of the Cetan Navy in 1908 can be seen here:

23 battleships.
154 cruisers.
187 destroyers.
104 torpedo boats.[1]

23 battleships

in 1908

[brave steeple]

also where can you find that mod

i tried finding one

and all i found was country reskins

[clear dagger]

hearts of forma

[brave steeple]

thx

[clear dagger]

its still in dev i think

judging at the half empty focus trees

[buoyant lodge]

good template for invading poland?

[brave steeple]

more victories to come

[eternal palm]

Light tanks aren't any good, I'd recommend using mediums if any tanks at all

But this is fine

[buoyant lodge]

i haven't unlocked medium tanks yet

should i switch to them once i get the research?

[eternal palm]

Why haven't you yet? You can get basic in 37. Or better yet, use Inter war. Chassis is irrelevant mostly

[eternal palm]

Yes

[eternal palm]

Ohhhhh

[buoyant lodge]

it's dec 10 37

[eternal palm]

Yes and?

Wait is it a 39 research?

Without nsb?

[buoyant lodge]

yes

[eternal palm]

Shouldn't matter

Researching ahead of time is fine

[brave steeple]

AHHH PEACE CONFRENCE MY PC CRASHING

[clear dagger]

always research nukes in 1937

[brave steeple]

oh

[eternal palm]

Unironically yes. If nukes is your goal

[clear dagger]

as albania

[eternal palm]

Sure bud

Nuke rome

[buoyant lodge]

i'm trying to establish the new order / greater german reich, i've never beat the soviets before any tips?

[eternal palm]

Have cas

That's all you need to have

[buoyant lodge]

cas as in close air support?

[eternal palm]

Yes

[buoyant lodge]

do i assign planes to regions or to armies

[brave steeple]

victory

[eternal palm]

Depends. If your enemy has more planes it's best to micro. But since the soviets are ass, you can assign them to your armies in this case

[buoyant lodge]

aigh thx i'll lyk how it goes once i get there

[brave steeple]

why did they do this after russia died

[valid prairie]

my volunteers landed here

[marsh ravine]

😂

[valid prairie]

ive grown attached to them bro, they were there from the start

[brave steeple]

how is the ai doing this

just how

wait no

its just bad lines

there is a CLEAR NON DOTTED LINE

WHY DOES THSI FOCUS REQUIRE ONLY A DOTTED LINE

WHY

[valid prairie]

modded right?

thats why lol

[toxic lotus]

They have not reavled the chinese tree yet

And i mean the nationalist one

[valid prairie]

the current one is fine but in 2025 it needs a revamp

from the looks of it this dlc will be a solid 7/10 but its not a no step back or a gotterdamnerung

[eternal palm]

Gtd wasn't that good

Do not compare nsb to gtd I beg of you

[valid prairie]

its the least rotten fish in the barrel

[eternal palm]

Doesn't make it good

Just less rotten

[valid prairie]

precisely

[eternal palm]

Nsb was edible by comparison

So don't compare the 2

[valid prairie]

but there is no toher dlc that can fit into that category besides gotterdamnurng

[toxic lotus]

France has so much potential

[eternal palm]

There is? AAT was fine

[valid prairie]

it goes 1. nsb 2. gotterdamnureng 3. the rest

[eternal palm]

Nah

Really doesn't

[valid prairie]

i think it does

[eternal palm]

Again ur an sf user I don't need to listen to you

[valid prairie]

tuff

[eternal palm]

Ur opinion is trash 🥱

[valid prairie]

straight to antarctica bro

[toxic lotus]

True

Sfp is the worst

[tropic lance]

🥺 german prussian doctrine thing

actually now that you've mentioned it i should probably switch to sfp cause the entire focus tree is designed around artillery

[haughty gulch]

uh can we win this?

[buoyant lodge]

it is working!

[haughty gulch]

russia suddenly joined the 3i 😵

Gtd/wuw/gdg/gde/gtg/gdr is mid as a dlc

[tropic lance]

the prussian legacy and imperial army command etc focuses stack with it?

i would go with panzer doctrine unless you have something else in mind

if ur gonna milk a game for all the money it can make at least make the dlcs good lol
