[summer matrix]

Yall i got moscow and brits started invaiding west when will ussr capitulate am i cooked? 🥲👹

[deep solstice]

I forgot skill tree was even a thing

[safe wing]

you shouldn't TBH

[deep solstice]

like I forgot it was called skill tree

I just called them both "Skill Tree"

[safe wing]

because it can make your generals better

[deep solstice]

with no distinction

[plucky girder]

not a single field marshal

https://tenor.com/view/anime-uhh-awkward-gif-1115120943304019191

[safe wing]

and field marshals too

[summer matrix]

When will soviets capitulate anyone from dc tried taking over soviets?

[deep solstice]

yeah no I still use it

[summer matrix]

Bro generals work gud

[plucky girder]

do you have la resistance?

[deep solstice]

I love this guy

[summer matrix]

Whats that

[deep solstice]

❤️

[safe wing]

I have all of them...

even the speechs

because

[snow rain]

you need field marshals for large fronts and they give free stats

[deep solstice]

all my generals are almost max

[plucky girder]

OK forget about it.
Vanilla hoi4 you need to go to the Urals

[safe wing]

https://tenor.com/view/money-gif-7446644742773745607

[snow rain]

absolutely no reason to not use marshals

[deep solstice]

I just use em for the stats

[summer matrix]

What dat mean

[safe wing]

I'm rich

[deep solstice]

and havent touched em since

LOL

[deep solstice]

mine are so disorganized

[plucky girder]

the big line of mountains....

[summer matrix]

I am thinking huge invasion to stalingrad with 3 generals and field marshal

[deep solstice]

big mountain

[summer matrix]

OH i thought field marshall was army controller

[snow rain]

once you've assigned the marshal, delete all general frontlines, select the field marshal, select the frontline tool and assign it while maintaining SHIFT key to create a single fluid frontline

[summer matrix]

So like general, field marshall and army controller are 3 different things, also i use rommel

[snow rain]

it will avoid troop stacking in the void, leaving gaps and will increase the flexibility of your front as it moves

[snow rain]

what are you calling "army controller"

[summer matrix]

The one who controlls 5 generals

[snow rain]

that's a field marshal

[deep solstice]

so the field marshal

😭

[summer matrix]

OH but field marshall needs generals you want me to delete all generals

[snow rain]

they give stats to all units under their command and allow you to draw a single, cohesive, frontline

[snow rain]

what

[deep solstice]

what

[snow rain]

you assign generals to the field marshal

you don't delete them in any way

[deep solstice]

generals lead divisions

field marshals lead generals

[snow rain]

pretty explicit on how to do it

[deep solstice]

there is no higher power

[plucky girder]

btw, you having 40 divisions on a single general makes them basically useless

[deep solstice]

damn he does

😭

[summer matrix]

🥲 erwin rommel was great blitzing to moscow with 40 men

[deep solstice]

you have like 10 generals dawg split that army

[trail zinc]

dm me if you want a nordic hoi4 server

[deep solstice]

40 divisions is a little more than 40 men

[summer matrix]

I guess only rommel is capable of being a gud general to 40 divizions

[snow rain]

also, you need to pause the game and adress these popups man

[summer matrix]

Ye alr

[snow rain]

no he's not

[deep solstice]

mb

[plucky girder]

😭 😭 😭 😭
there's a reason the number is red

[snow rain]

all generals have a cap of 24 divs, except ones with skilled staffer trait which can control 30. After that you get a big ass penality to general bonus until you exceed their capacity by 50% at which point you gain no bonus at all

[summer matrix]

Alr so i line up 3 generals at the down side in middle one maybe near general and 3 at top give 1 field marshalls down and up and start an invade

[plucky girder]

the more you look the worse it gets

[summer matrix]

How do i invade not in a single line but a whole like uh wall

[trail zinc]

dm me if you want a nordic hoi4 server

dm me if you want a nordic hoi4 server

[deep solstice]

dude your so right

dude he has some generals with like 2 and 6 divisions

and then 3 generals with like

[mint adder]

What is the hoi4 sub 😭

[deep solstice]

twice as many as they can handle

20 combat width

[mint adder]

Gotta do a run with this

[snow rain]

1/3 funny stuff, 1/3 bad advice and noob content or troubleshoot, 1/3 help posts or "today i learned"

[summer matrix]

Yall how do i invade to stalingrad with whole wall not a single line to it?

[viral jackal]

seems meta to me

[snow rain]

wth is this 😭

[lapis snow]

https://tenor.com/view/face-melting-indiana-jones-fire-transforming-gif-12010697

[snow rain]

if you want to battleplan with all units then just assign a battleplan to all units and enable them all

[deep solstice]

20 combat width tank brigade trust me its meta ✌️

[summer matrix]

Like i know how to blitz but i dont know how to make a plan to inavadd a whole wall of enemies not just a single line blitz to it

[lapis snow]

sounds like you don't know what you're talking about mate

[summer matrix]

How can i do what i said

[sudden thistle]

True

[summer matrix]

Bro

[snow rain]

select battleplan order and rightclick+drag

[summer matrix]

But i can only go in one line

To up

[deep solstice]

why tf is there motorized infantry in this tank brigade

[snow rain]

what

[deep solstice]

I just realized the photo I sent

[plucky girder]

https://youtu.be/LbpWbSD6hEY?si=JK1Sy5SAo_AtrNIH

[deep solstice]

like it was ajoke

but now its just genuinely painful

[safe wing]

https://tenor.com/view/reaction-my-eyes-cant-unsee-burn-gif-7225082

[opal nymph]

Bruh, I am the world's greatest superpower but I am only 7th place because I didn't deploy my entire stockpile of planes and didn't split my navy into 100 fleets

[snow rain]

there will only be 1 arrow but it won't only advance on that arrow

[summer matrix]

Bro this is dificult to explain but i need to invade not a line to stalingrad but more then that

[opal nymph]

Let me fix that really quick

[deep solstice]

toaster strudel

[opal nymph]

Give me a minute

[snow rain]

the arrow only shows the general direction. Troops will advance on the whole frontline if the order is set correctly

[deep solstice]

these are getting worse by the second

WHAT is that template

19 combat width light tank division

😭

[opal nymph]

Got to deploy a few planes

[snow rain]

runs into a div under red air

dies

[plucky girder]

erm but it's got soft atack 🤓 🤓 🤓 🤓

thus it's good

🤓 🤓 🤓 🤓 🤓 🤓

[deep solstice]

hello niche community

[summer matrix]

Bro how do i just take this whole land to my self?

[snow rain]

invade it

[deep solstice]

bro

[plucky girder]

bro didn't listen to any of us

[deep solstice]

wait actually this isnt that bad myf

[plucky girder]

field hospitals and recon kinda unnecessary tho for line infantry

[summer matrix]

Cuz i fear troops will go only where the arrow points like to moscow i want that whole piece of land to me not just one singular line to stalingrad you understand?

[deep solstice]

fr

[lapis snow]

how do you not understand how battleplans work?

[deep solstice]

Im js finding random template pics

[lapis snow]

wtf

[plucky girder]

technically even arty isn't necessary just for holding

[snow rain]

missing vital support AA
cavalry recon is basically useless
hospital is good but is very expensive. Only keep if you are a manpower-limited country or wish to abuse Close air support
engineers are ok but very expensive

[deep solstice]

if big bro dont go first we finna get clapped ✌️

[summer matrix]

Bro like i arrow straight to stalingrad or make an arrow like this ill send a pic

[deep solstice]

it is NOT mine

[sudden thistle]

Ddhgfd

[snow rain]

sry I thought you were gonna ask our opinion

[deep solstice]

lol no im just finding these randomly

[opal nymph]

There we go, now I am 1st

[plucky girder]

try finding the most brainrroted one possible

[opal nymph]

Deploying my planes and splitting a bit of my navy made me go from 7th to 1st

[deep solstice]

🥀

[opal nymph]

Lol that leaderboard

[summer matrix]

I make a battle plan like this?

[snow rain]

select the battleplan order (arrow), click and drag your mouse cursor (MAINTAIN Rclick) on the green line then activate battleplan

[summer matrix]

Like this bro?

[opal nymph]

Just push down to Rostov

[deep solstice]

I havent used cavalry in ages

what should I even use when I start my next playthrough

[opal nymph]

Also make field marshal frontlines please

[deep solstice]

let me send my actual templates

[viral jackal]

just win

[lapis snow]

we tried explaining this stuff but the kid seems to be either very young or only semi-literate

[summer matrix]

But like i do it like that round from moscow to stalingrad back to kiev or like what

[snow rain]

try using the awful designs showed in the top hoi4 guide for new players on steam
very poor designs

[plucky girder]

hungary and afeganistan and romanov poland get some NASTY bonuses

[snow rain]

just push to stalingrad bro

[deep solstice]

WHAT IS THIS GUY USING

💔

[snow rain]

stop overthinking it

[ruby flame]

man playing baltics is such an exercise in frustration

[summer matrix]

Bro if youd be playing you would make a battle plan to stalingrad or to stalingrad and back

[opal nymph]

Group up 5 of your generals per field marshal.

Click the field marshal portrait. Click the frontline creation tool. Hold shift and then left click the front while holding shift

[plucky girder]

https://tenor.com/view/patrick-star-bazooka-gif-10458898

[opal nymph]

I would personally push down from Moscow to take Stalingrad

[summer matrix]

Bro 3 million of wehrmacht is dead 🥲

[opal nymph]

And follow the railroad

[deep solstice]

bro these are so fried

[summer matrix]

What good will the shift do?

[snow rain]

I would aim for encirclements, but for that you need supply lines so just do that : follow the supply
I wouldn't even battleplan if I was playing, I'd micro everything

[deep solstice]

💔

[opal nymph]

Instead of splitting the frontline into the armies, it will make 1 solid frontline

And it is 1 single frontline for 24*5 troops

[deep solstice]

send me yalls best templates

[summer matrix]

But i want to take this whole area

[snow rain]

fluid frontline. Will give you better organization overhaul with no gap in the frontline

[summer matrix]

Not just a single line to stalingrad

[snow rain]

STOP DOING THIS

[lapis snow]

we know, stop posting this image and listen

[plucky girder]

for some reason Australia has a template like that

[snow rain]

JUST HEAD TO STALINGRAD

[opal nymph]

Push down to Astrakan, then you can clean things up

You will encircle the Soviet army and you win

[snow rain]

TAKE KIEV, ROSTOV AND KHARKOV

then stalingrad

[opal nymph]

He already has Kiev

[summer matrix]

I got kiev

[snow rain]

period.

[snow rain]

then move on already

[opal nymph]

I think a push down from Moscow works

[bright arrow]

I hate Switzerland so much omg

[summer matrix]

Alr i will just try pushing down from moscow to stalingrad

With field marshall

[plucky girder]

finally

[deep solstice]

I was using this for a while

[lapis snow]

bearing in mind it took until 43 for him to get this far

[summer matrix]

And i probably will have one field marshall from leningrad to push top to moscow

[snow rain]

and he lost 3million men

[opal nymph]

Wait, I thought you owned Moscow

[snow rain]

but idc anymore

[bright arrow]

Austria had a really big Danubian Federation Alliance, and Switzerland just straight up annexed them because of their stupid focus tree

[snow rain]

like he's been asking that for the past 15min and doesn't even listen

[summer matrix]

I will let yall know if it worked or if i turned american 🫡

[opal nymph]

Turned American?

[summer matrix]

Bro soviets lost 7 million bro

[snow rain]

died

[plucky girder]

that's like germany annexing Austria hungary cuz of aunchluss on those timelapses

[opal nymph]

You have the Soviets on the backfoot

You just need to reorganize your army and things will be 10x easier

[summer matrix]

I holded west from from america really good and its 1943 got moscow

[bright arrow]

More like Austria annexing Germany

[deep solstice]

guys should I use this "meta marine build" 😭 ✌️

[snow rain]

who even comes up with these

[opal nymph]

This is not great, but you do you

[plucky girder]

F no

[deep solstice]

so we are using 5 support companies

💔

every single type of artillery

acting like marines need anti tank 🥀

[opal nymph]

18 marines with those support companies would do well

[snow rain]

where are you finding this ?

[opal nymph]

Though support AA would be nice

[plucky girder]

I think ppl thing hospitals are good cuz they think they'd loose way less manpower

[summer matrix]

Oops

[bright arrow]

I really hope Switzerland gets whats coming to them

[opal nymph]

You also lose less XP when soldiers get shot

[deep solstice]

I can never use field hospitals

[opal nymph]

Since they live

[summer matrix]

Switzies got level 99 forts

[snow rain]

they're not wrong, but it's very expensive on anything but tanks and special forces

[opal nymph]

Field hospitals are nice

Expensive, but nice

[deep solstice]

I only use them in marine templates

where if they die

then I lose

other than that its just not really worth it in my eyes

[plucky girder]

personally I only use them on tank divs ye

[snow rain]

FH gives 10% bonus HP + trickleback. It's useful on everything as it reduces losses (both mp and equipment)

[deep solstice]

tanks too

[summer matrix]

Yall united states of mexico just joined the war am i cooked?

[deep solstice]

for me its just marines/tanks

especially bc I play as the US mostly

[summer matrix]

How's that historically accurate?

[safe wing]

Should I try special forces Germany as I'm going to be fighting in the pacific alot

[deep solstice]

its not worth it since my super high manpower

[snow rain]

try mass mob us

it's so dumb

[plucky girder]

show a screenshot of how things are going on stalingrad

[opal nymph]

If you hold Atlantikwall you should be fine

[plucky girder]

yes

[summer matrix]

Hadn't started doing plans but after 10 mins ill show

Impossible

[deep solstice]

[opal nymph]

Where's the motorized infantry support

[deep solstice]

wha

[opal nymph]

Tank battalions need infantry supporting them

[viral jackal]

i think the axis were at a minor disadvantage

[deep solstice]

✅

[opal nymph]

Perferably motorized or mechanized

[deep solstice]

I actually use a template like that one

[opal nymph]

The one you pasted?

That is beyond trash

Like it can't fight

[deep solstice]

It just swaps the arty

[bright arrow]

this is the most communist Non historical map ive seen

[summer matrix]

Btw if anyones down to play italy yall can

[opal nymph]

There is no infantry helping it

[deep solstice]

for motorized infantry

[opal nymph]

Well, the tank divisions I usually use are 10/8s or 9/9s

[deep solstice]

niche community

[opal nymph]

This is still beyond bad

[deep solstice]

I used to rock these templates bro

[opal nymph]

Because no infantry support

[deep solstice]

I swear I was cooking

🙏

[opal nymph]

It's still raw

[bright arrow]

Omg France just surrended Savoy to Switzerland

God plz smite Switzerland

[summer matrix]

When is hoi5 getting released from prison?

[opal nymph]

It happens on ahistorical semi often

[deep solstice]

I actually used this

for my run im doing right now

bc I couldnt cook

and was too lazy to change it

[opal nymph]

You really need more motorized/mechanized

[bright arrow]

Switzerland is just schizoing the entire game

[safe wing]

Isn't it able to go negative

[safe wing]

I thought the combat width was like

[opal nymph]

That is outdated

[deep solstice]

a major thing

[bright arrow]

Omg

[opal nymph]

36 is what you want

[deep solstice]

😭

[opal nymph]

for an offensive division

[deep solstice]

for some reason I thought it was the craziest shit since sliced bread

I lowk forgot what combat width even does

[bright arrow]

god has abandoned us

[deep solstice]

I should probably update these templates

[opal nymph]

Based

[opal nymph]

I would agree with this

[deep solstice]

the ones I sent arent mine

[bright arrow]

i call for an international crusade against switzerland

[deep solstice]

but I should probably look through them actually 😭

let me get into my US run and look through them

[opal nymph]

Who is undercooking

Where are you getting these from

[deep solstice]

I just asked my friend to send me shitty templates

we are in a call

[opal nymph]

ah

[deep solstice]

I have NO idea where he is getting these from

but they are absolutely meta

and the best

of all time

[opal nymph]

clearly

[deep solstice]

I think this is a personal favorite

[bright arrow]

They have a focus that gave them forts on every single tile

[snow rain]

hey guys

could use some help

im playing as communist central america

and the fascist mexicans declared on me and on panamá, colombia and ecuador

then they got venezuela, dominica and the confederates states of america into the war

my casualty ratio is 57.000

and the mexican casualty ratio is 1.350.000

and the american one is 2.000.000

[safe wing]

lol I have 17 infantry divs in China

[summer matrix]

Built west forts level 10

I built mine level 3 no brit or amerikano stepped on my land

i think the americanos that did try to attack me were...well, obliterated

2.01M confederate casualties

[summer matrix]

I have 3 mil

[crisp wyvern]

against a 5M core population country

[summer matrix]

But i got moscow

Aboutta have stalingrad

[crisp wyvern]

another 10Mil just to get stalingrad

[summer matrix]

Is it okay to have 3 million casuelties in 1943 11

[summer matrix]

Bro after barbarossa operation which took mil lives all lives gone slow

[crisp wyvern]

the americans ran out of manpower now

sadly, they are on limited conscription

it is really shameful to see 2 majors fight against 1 minor nation and still fail

[summer matrix]

Yall is this a good plan to stalingrad?

[summer matrix]

You pro player?

[deep solstice]

alright guys

so

[crisp wyvern]

350 hours is enough for me to say that im a pro at this game?

how do i attack multiple countries at once? i just started and the tutorial is kinda ass

[summer matrix]

Nob

Can i call stalin to make him surrender?

Imm tired 🥲

Someone send this pic to stalin to know were comming

[deep solstice]

split ur forces

[golden smelt]

how

[deep solstice]

just get two armies

and send em each way

[golden smelt]

ohh

ok

[deep solstice]

or if you only have one army

use the half selected units

and then manually click the other half

[crisp wyvern]

guys

me and panama had been fighting the hispanic alliance for so long that the panamenians lost 222K men to the confederate and mexico

panama's core population in 1943 is 497K

paraguay levels of utter destruction

[summer matrix]

Yall i said they wont take all of the land to stalingrad theyr just going a straight line to stalingrad

How to fix this bs all divisions in one place

Anyone 🥲

[quasi basin]

soviet aren´t home :D

[summer matrix]

Bro what do i do bro?

[opal nymph]

Flank attack rather than have 100 divisions try to fit through a door at once

[summer matrix]

We moved a bit

What does flank mean

[opal nymph]

Attack a tile from multiple directions

[summer matrix]

Interesting

Also its december 1943 should i continue my attack to stalingrad?

[opal nymph]

Yes?

Why would you halt

[summer matrix]

Mowcow getting a good training from the soviets rn

[summer matrix]

Idk i thought germans fought worse in winter

[opal nymph]

Well, everyone does

[summer matrix]

Bro what if i loose siege of moscow

[opal nymph]

But you might as well try and get a supply hub

[opal nymph]

Don't you already own moscow?

The Soviets shouldn't have any supply to push you out

[summer matrix]

I have moscoe

But its getting scary up here

Should i do total kriek national focus?

Commies everywhere

[pearl jackal]

no way the us damn

once i turn fascist i dont think they'll like us very much tho

[summer matrix]

Goated idea: 12 straf batallions and 10 level forts in moscow

Yo all my divisions nearing stalingrad are nearly dead what do i do

[dusky burrow]

Oof

[dusky burrow]

I mean

It's the US and France

Makes sense

[pearl jackal]

yeah true

democracy is so boring

[summer matrix]

Yall?

[dusky burrow]

Just try to rework your frontlines

IDK, might be the frontline AI glitching

[fair horizon]

ive had my worst naval defeat

i lost 2 heavy cruisers 2 light cruisers and a handful of destroyers because i was busy microing my brother's war

[pearl jackal]

i mean as long as ur not getting encircled ur doing better than real life germany

[true needle]

ive got an idea

heavy tank mountaineers

basically tanks suck at mountains but mountaineers are amazing at it, but mountaineers are infantry so they take a ton of casualties, so you combine the two to cover their weaknesses

however mountaineers are slow and special forces so we wont have many of these divisions, this is good because this means that the cost of a heavy tank is justified and we can make it a bit cheaper because we wont have to make it faster than 4km/h

add in logistics, support AA, rangers, flame tanks, and engineers and you have a theoretically unstoppable division

[dusky burrow]

Yep

Pretty much

[true needle]

I just need to figure out a nation where this would be worth it

germany? russia?

[leaden moth]

pls fix cas exploit

[tired lintel]

russia likely

russia has a nasty heavy tank build that you can do

if you use them to go after germany's tanks and then use some mediums to chew up their inf the german ai is toast. MP might be different but I am not up to date on the mp meta

[dusky burrow]

Against a good player you will not win, but the AI struggles making good divisions

[dusky burrow]

As for you, assault engineers, flame tanks, and railway guns of course

[warped flint]

I have never used railway guns

are they worth it

[dusky burrow]

Also tactical bombers too

Yes, especially here

[tacit helm]

youll be a great hero one day ches

[warped flint]

My mom says im special

[pearl jackal]

yeah they make like 8 width artillery, calvary and heavy tank division sort of stuff

[warped flint]

No me head big

so brain big

[pearl jackal]

indeed

fun fact: albert einstein had a smaller-than-average brain

[tacit helm]

"me not slow. im fast. kachow"

[dusky burrow]

Lmao

[pearl jackal]

yk chaos mod? they make like chaos division kinda shi from chaos mod

[dusky burrow]

How

know

Haha ohio you from is

meme

ha

[tacit helm]

ha

[warped flint]

I don't feel very confident about my line

[willow plume]

Forts are your friend

Fortify the line as much as possible

[warped flint]

I built AA to

[willow plume]

That's good

Make fighters too

[warped flint]

Yay new front for the Germans

[warped flint]

My industry is pathetic

10 mils

War started

im cooked

[willow plume]

Ok maybe no fighters then

Yeah Germany is a bit op ngl

[warped flint]

My only issue is the south

Romanian reinforcements!

Just checked air

think my aa destroyed them

[lilac mango]

Why don't i know any memes about Czech

[warped flint]

Ah crap

might have to abandon slovakia soon

Will Germany ever attack Poland if their situation is like this

[wary sparrow]

so uh yeah, i dont think i can lose now

[warped flint]

Small encirclement

Decent kd ratio

[wary sparrow]

also because italy kept sending me their crappy camicie divisons which you cant delete (is there a way to stop puppets giving you divisions?) i just banished the camicies i got to st helena with himmler

also completely maxed infra and built a giant level 10 defensive line

[warped flint]

Another one!

[wary sparrow]

just for fun

[warped flint]

Small but adds up

[mortal swan]

i screwed up my last playthough and now austria is the leader of the Axis

now i gotta do this all over again

[bright arrow]

ok, im tired, imma call this a save

[bright arrow]

initial point

[warped flint]

I am out of ideas for pushing

I have no guns

nvm

allies lead lease

[bright arrow]

Switzerland was rightfully punished for all their crimes

[opal nymph]

Maybe this? Also allied lend lease might struggle to reach you but idk

[warped flint]

Yeah only can get lend lease from sweden unfortenatuely

[warped flint]

I can try

[opal nymph]

What are your divisions

[opal nymph]

And what are the enemy defenses

Yikes

No support arty

[warped flint]

I can't stop the defecit

[warped flint]

WAIT

I FORGOT

I HAVE BEEN PRODUCING THAT FOR SO LONG

[opal nymph]

Those are pure holders as they cant really counterattack either

Well, that might help out

[warped flint]

Melting them now

[opal nymph]

The joys of artillery

[warped flint]

Romania keeps attacking and nearly getting me encircled

bruh

I disabled allied supply to

Think im stuck....

I don't have enough guns

Being pushed back to my forts

Think im cooked

[cedar kite]

germany can core all of slovakia through the reichskomerisiat decisions

[opal nymph]

If you hold, you can win

Just dont attack

[warped flint]

Idk why but I have like no divisions in the north

I think they will push past my forts

[opal nymph]

Do you have divisions you can force deploy?

Also be aware Hungary will join Axis soon

[warped flint]

I have no guns

[opal nymph]

Produce less support equipment and arty

3 mils on support equipment and arty is probably all you need

[opal nymph]

Oh

I assume you might have civ greeded

[warped flint]

Not at all

Didn't build a single civ

I built forts and aa

[opal nymph]

Huh

Interesting

Oh

That might be it

All IC went into that

Dont build forts as czechs

The focus tree does that doesn't you

[warped flint]

I built extra

on some tiles that weren't covered

in slovakia and 1 in czechia

if I didn't they would have broke through, but probably some I did'nt have to build

[opal nymph]

Yeah, but level 3 is all you need for those forts

Which can be gained via focus tree

[opal nymph]

Microing that one state that Poland gets if you cede sudeten is usually all you need

You can get forts along slovak border via that one focus, which isnt a high priority

All of that IC could have been onto mils

Meaning more troops

Meaning more reinforcements

[warped flint]

Do I not build aa aswell?

I felt that realy hurt germany in the air

I looked and they had like 6 cas after a few months o

[opal nymph]

Yeah, but you can wait late for that

It mostly deals with tac bombers

I think 1 level 5 in Prague is all you need, if that

Support AA is what you need

[warped flint]

Alright

[opal nymph]

And you got that

You just need men with guns

[warped flint]

I built them pretty much all over czechoslovakia....

Yeah my mills should be doing much better

[opal nymph]

Did you also do Beacon of Liberty?

That is 10% extra defense on core territory

[warped flint]

Ye

[opal nymph]

Yeah, state AA is a huge investment

I almost say it isnt worth it

Aside from a level or 2

[thick jetty]

goooooooooood

I don't want to pay $30 for this crap

but I want to try it

make another dlc > make hoi V on a new engine

[mortal swan]

Just wait until it’s on sale

The lowest it gets down to is 14$

Will go on sale in December

[thick jetty]

idk how much is that in rubles

[indigo violet]

Could also just get the subscription

[thick jetty]

like, is it $30 for u

[mortal swan]

It’s 50.

[thick jetty]

well, ok

regional prices

still expensive af

for questionable content except Japan and China

[mortal swan]

I do think the game is a if overpriced for what you get

But the subscription is really worth it

[indigo violet]

Subscription‘s good

Bought the eu4 subscription and cant complain

[thick jetty]

since they released GoE I never played on any of these nations

I don't find them enjoyable -_-

[indigo violet]

Its sand

Nothing in sand is enjoyable

[thick jetty]

today I wanna waste 10 hours on iran/afghan runs

nothing in this game except cursed strats is enjoyable for me but I still don't wanna to play MP

[mortal swan]

I wasted like 2 hours and went down the wrong path as alternate history Germany

Failed an achievement

[thick jetty]

nah, I built up Raeder's Germany for 5 hours and got swarmed by everyone

[mortal swan]

But because I’m a no life I will contribute tmr as soon as I wake up

It’s like 11 pm for me rn

[thick jetty]

also lost 20 hours in the mod where kaiser germany fleed to Konigsberg

cause for some reason Germany USSR UK and China joined the same faction due to AI's focus on history focuses somehow broken down

[mortal swan]

I have like 70 hours or so in the game, but only 1/3 of it is trying

[thick jetty]

god pls make hoi 5 I don't trust these swedish ppl

[indigo violet]

Yeah if you go off course the ai does too

[sharp sierra]

"people"

[indigo violet]

You could also, play a different game?

[thick jetty]

there's no macro ww2 game as detailed as hoi4 sadly

[mortal swan]

Rise of nations on Roblox

Holy micro management late game

[north spoke]

not really as detailed as hoi4

pretty close but not quite there

[thick jetty]

are u jokin

[sharp sierra]

thats whjat poor kids who cant afford paradox financial policy

[north spoke]

its more simplified millenium dawn

[sharp sierra]

play

[mortal swan]

Yeah, hoi4 is superior

[north spoke]

with 18 billion toxic little children

[sharp sierra]

its 14 year olds

[mortal swan]

Who don’t know what being a sore winnner/loser is.

[thick jetty]

tried World Ablaze SP, it's pure suffering cuz AI spawns million divs if they have to little (due to your encirclements)

and it's impossible to help germany win the soviets as italy

[sharp sierra]

44% of roblox players are older than 16

[thick jetty]

and 56% younger I guess

ugh wait what

50%

where is 6%

[sharp sierra]

im 20 and if i load roblox up i just feel disappointed with myself

yeah there is a missing 6%

sometimes ill play a little around easter for the nostalgia

the 2013 easter egg hunt

[indigo violet]

My bf always wanted to play roblox with me, really didnt get the appeal and it was quite stupid tbh

[sharp sierra]

im figuring that most of the older in age players probably played when they were little and theyre attached to the game now

[indigo violet]

Probably

[sharp sierra]

playing roblox above age 17 is for girls

the entire war lasted from 1941-46

1.02M casualties from my side
102,034 or so from me and the other million plus from the soviet union

and 11 million combined from the confederate and mexicans

[warped flint]

I start with some aa

so won't build any of that

[fair horizon]

[candid forge]

Chinese united the front 🥀

[fair horizon]

chat how am i being shore bombarded by an island?

[fair horizon]

[wet plover]

First time winning WW3, the Germans immediately declared war on Czechoslovakia after this for no apparent reason 😭

[fair horizon]

i love my boats

[dusky burrow]

I've lost a lot worse

[warped flint]

@opal nymph Thanks, doing way better now

Ah crap wasn't paying attention

[toxic lotus]

Yep they should make me a dev

[toxic lotus]

Pin that place where they are attacking from

[warped flint]

Situation has been fixed already

I think germany moved troops to polands border

[toxic lotus]

They will get a 50- attack cuz they are in multiple combat

[toxic lotus]

Alr

[warped flint]

The german troops here should pretty much have no supply now

[sudden grotto]

They Have a railway in Innsbruck i think

So they Will still get it

[sudden grotto]

Lol

[warped flint]

But Italy just joined the axis, will they get supply from there?

[sudden grotto]

Ig so

[warped flint]

Oh wait its still not connected to italy even

Pushed back to a decent defensive line I think

Ill sit here untill I get full mass mob

then maybe try an attack

Shit I can't hold silesia

Ima just fall back, ill still be in a better postion then before.

[fair horizon]

paradox should give the usa the langley if the british get the hermes

[dusky burrow]

the G*rms are bombing me

My aa is slowly killing them

[sudden grotto]

More.

Every man shall have a czech flak 20mm

[fair horizon]

orlekins for all

[warped flint]

Honestly I might build more, since I need them to stop bombing my trains, and I have to many mills where I just can't keep them supplyed

[celest dirge]

Which Realism mods (Ultra, BICE, TW) is the best?

[dusky burrow]

Czechoslovakia not having trains 😭

How will you deal with the Hungarians btw

[warped flint]

6:1 troops

[covert rain]

[quiet yacht]

Depends on the brits bath

[steel summit]

[quiet yacht]

If is not democratic they are less likely to guarantee

[uneven portal]

no

pla stop

It's Austria Hungary

Dw I fixed it later
