hoi4-general

[azure palm]

Yeah but I hate playing the civil war. Also somehow I never won it. I know its a skill issue

[azure palm]

way less civs than before

[worn coral]

so what

not like i need to build anything

[zenith iris]

I only played Spain competitively so idk how hard vanilla civil war is

[azure palm]

true

[serene inlet]

how do i get my light tanks to be SPAA?

cant

[zenith iris]

You need to add the AA armament first I think

Then switch

[heavy vigil]

Put an AA gun on it

[eternal palm]

Add an anti air gun to it

[serene inlet]

oh ur right

yeahh

mb

[opal nymph]

You need an AA gun or autocannon i think as armament

[heavy vigil]

Its interesting

[serene inlet]

anyone has singular SPAA divisions

[heavy vigil]

Autocannon is an AA tech but cannot be used for SPAA

[serene inlet]

like i wanna go mass mob germany

[heavy vigil]

Huge scam

[serene inlet]

but i dont wanna add spaa to my inf

[opal nymph]

I swore it used to be

[zenith iris]

Sounds useless

[heavy vigil]

Besides it being yk the best cannon for lights

[serene inlet]

can i just make like 36 width spaa divs with motorized

[heavy vigil]

You cant

[jovial carbon]

i bet u only did battle plans and have no tanks

😭

[heavy vigil]

You can try

[serene inlet]

idk i wanna see if it destroys the soviet air

[worn coral]

i dont need them

[jovial carbon]

knew it 💀

[zenith iris]

I usually have SPAA only in my tank divs

[worn coral]

am i lying?

i have 504 division

and human wave

[opal nymph]

I believe AA only works while in combat btw

[jovial carbon]

😭

[heavy vigil]

No

[serene inlet]

uhhh

[jovial carbon]

you have infinite manpower

[heavy vigil]

It works in combat reserves too

[jovial carbon]

so its fine

[opal nymph]

Well

[serene inlet]

maybe if i make normal infantry

[heavy vigil]

Which is funny

[serene inlet]

like wait

[opal nymph]

Oh

[heavy vigil]

You can make pure AA divs

And theyll work as long ad theyre in reserves

[opal nymph]

Dang

[serene inlet]

this maybe

no support companies

but you get the idea

[opal nymph]

Get support aa

Trust

[serene inlet]

i wanna do spaa its fun

this is lowkey dopez

[opal nymph]

Well support aa shoots down planes better than line aa

Not sure about spaa

[serene inlet]

100 air attack wdym

support aa cant do that

[opal nymph]

What mod is that again

[opal nymph]

It adds silly

[heavy vigil]

Theyre very cheap tanks

[serene inlet]

better division templates etc by idk who

[heavy vigil]

Hmm

Im tempted to try SPAA for china war

[serene inlet]

but support aa alone doesnt have that much

[heavy vigil]

Because theyre so cheap

[serene inlet]

like what if i make 20 of those

[opal nymph]

Well, you have a mod on

[heavy vigil]

Id have to do math though

Jerraz whats the cheapest SPAA you can make?

[opal nymph]

When do you get amphibious drive again

[worn coral]

i know

[heavy vigil]

Its like 2 ic ish right

[serene inlet]

5 ic

[heavy vigil]

Loading into the game

[serene inlet]

wat

but the air attack would be so bad

[heavy vigil]

Why would you use them for air attack?

You can use heavy SPAA for that

Gives you armor as well

[serene inlet]

what do u use spaa for then

[heavy vigil]

Light SPAA uses 36 tanks per batallion instead of the usual 60 for lights

So they are actually the cheapest tank type you could make

[opal nymph]

I remember when TDs had half amount of tanks in them

Since they were designed to be small defensive battalions in nature or something like that

[heavy vigil]

I think TDs use normal amounts now?

Amphibs are set at 50

[haughty sail]

Ah Casey became a junior mod

[opal nymph]

Yeah

[haughty sail]

I havent been in here in like 4-5 months

[worn coral]

who wants guns

[patent thistle]

:

[opal nymph]

Hmm, this doesn't seem fair

[patent thistle]

oh btw at this point i am producing destroyer 3s per production line every like 6 days

i am litterally shitting out destroyers at an extremly stupid rate-

[worn coral]

imagine needing tanks

[craggy trail]

[patent thistle]

AH YES JUST WHAT I NEEDED, MORE F***ING BUFFS

[honest adder]

any tips on how to push trough?

[dim lantern]

If you want to see the worst HOI4ed Ive had... from a playthrough last year. Love the bugs in this game lol, may have been my biggest encirclement at that point ripped from me. Immediate rage quit

[digital bison]

what map mods u using

[dim lantern]

Think around this time I was using night 2/4 with Supreme graphics mod

24/7*

[digital bison]

alr ty

[fickle thicket]

push through it works or build up supply

[dim lantern]

Pull tanks and troops out intil you dont have a supply issue. Make sure you have total air sup with a lot of cas. Bring tanks back in when u have air sup with cas

[honest adder]

aight thanks

[dim lantern]

yessir, I hate the french death stack lol

[fickle thicket]

gng i dont think 2.5m is enough for the stalin line i need more

[worn coral]

imagine not having supply

[dim lantern]

rip

[warped flint]

Take troops away

you have no supply

and get air superority if you don't already

[sweet bone]

how screwed is my map out of 10

[dim lantern]

TNO requiem

[tired crypt]

[warped flint]

Gave me this offer sorta late

[bright arrow]

its so annoying when my troops get brain worms

[sweet bone]

communism does that? i didnt know

[tawdry ore]

Looking for people to co op with against ai still learning the game

[true needle]

I think it may be time to play vanilla and get some achievements

[craggy trail]

[delicate lance]

Is this the highest KD ratio yall saw for Allies (the allies also done well) (this was a CAS fighters only build, with a mix of right opposition bloodless coup for a bit Of RP in there, I could have been stronger if I went Stalin, I had good 18th With, with support companies)

Mass mob right.

[sudden grotto]

Wtf lol

British destoryers Just built different

[lapis snow]

https://tenor.com/view/clipped-ss-weirdchamp-jjkfriday-gif-20194105

[true needle]

hows this for a defensive line?

[misty fossil]

maginot no less lol

[bright bramble]

How does the navy work, im new to the game

[copper cobalt]

you steal em from others

also nav bombers

[lapis snow]

Capitals (CAs, BBs, BCs) shoot big gun
Screens (CLs DDs) shield capitals, 4:1 minimum ratio for effective screening
Subs raid convoys
Carriers bring planes in to force multiply surface fleets

Most important ships are carriers for the planes, light cruisers (CLs) for the combat power/cost ratio and subs for torpedoes. Watch a couple of yt guides, Segl's is good

[craggy trail]

The speed of the fleet depends on the slowest ship

You don't want to have submarines and surface ships together

[lapis snow]

that too

[craggy trail]

3-4 screens per capital, 3-4 capital per carrier, 4-5 carriers per taskforce

and for submarines, usually in a wolfpack of 5-10 per task force or lower to maximize the amount of convoy interceptions

[past wolf]

Gonna hold for sure!

[near schooner]

how did u

[misty fossil]

germany exploited a gap in their line i think

it was them that broke the maginot somehow

i only encircled the rest

[near schooner]

oh u arent the germans

what country u playin

[misty fossil]

no im japan

someone tell them they're missing their forehead

[dusky willow]

i think i figured out what i was doing wrong - i was using tank destroyers with motorised as an offensive unit 😭

[worn coral]

dude

my submarines are getting evaporated

what do i do

[ruby slate]

90275755800135710

[worn coral]

also

the british destroyed my air force

[sonic sand]

Build battleships

[worn coral]

i have them

a lot

lets just say

i capitulated some countries

[sonic sand]

Well after 1941 subs become basically useless

[worn coral]

occupation zone?

just annex them

[fickle thicket]

too tired to

also

im going after britain

and then

i will be the owner of europe

and then i will go after the us and canada

[fickle thicket]

i like my map cancerous

[worn coral]

i dont have an air force

but the uk doesnt have a navy

[livid hinge]

115 reserves

[snow rain]

that's straight up false
subs are always useful and in SP they're so broken that cruiser or 1940 subs will sink AI surface fleets if not sent in shallow seas

[snow rain]

don't go in shallow seas,
don't use 1936/early subs, they have too high visibility. Produce 1940/cruiser subs/1944 subs instead
don't go in areas where enemy has a lot of planes flying over you

[uncut pollen]

Nevermind

I found it

[worn coral]

what do i do with 723 divisions

[snow rain]

use them

[worn coral]

how

oh wait

[snow rain]

if they're not fully equipped, delete some if you don't need them

[worn coral]

i just found out i got naval invaded

[worn coral]

i can assure you thats the last thing to ever happen

[snow rain]

using them as garrisons would be a good start then

[worn coral]

i got a few guns

i think i have more victory points than all the countries in the world

combined

[open quartz]

how does my bro have stalin as a field marshal

is that a path in the focus tree

[worn coral]

i dont know either

[uncut pollen]

I Hope darkest hour works now

[snow rain]

bottom of the stalin focuses

he ain't good though

[worn coral]

how dare you call the supreme leader of communism a bad field marshal

[snow rain]

by the time you get him, he's washed
he also has -25% xp gain iirc

[worn coral]

no wait

[devout trench]

Is that the Swiss

[worn coral]

i think that getting all their european territory and african colonies wasnt enough

[worn coral]

alpine protectorate

[uncut pollen]

So how do i make an revote in darkest hour?

[dire trellis]

Anyone down for mp?

[gleaming iron]

why is the british east india company there??!?!

guys look its gandhi!!!!111!1!

[gaunt thorn]

bro germany is smoking me as im su

thought i could hold the frontline turns out i couldnt

stalin line is holding tho

just need time to get a functional air force and some good armour

[fallen vigil]

how do u win the civil war as communist brazil?? i added all the civil war buffs and im still struggling

and also i have no mils so i run out of equipment quickly

[azure palm]

cheese it

[warped flint]

Why does my hoi4 launcher crash whenver I looka tmy mods

[azure palm]

try asking in #tech-support . Maybe they know

[fallen vigil]

how

[azure palm]

get army experience, change all divisions to 1 infantry, then create template with 1 artillery, change everything to that after training a lot of small infantry, start civil war, change the shitty units you had to undersupplied normal infantry ones

or atleast thats how it works in every other civil war i played except spain

[fallen vigil]

mkay

[fallen vigil]

so like this

and when the civil war starts i change it back

[azure palm]

yes

[fallen vigil]

okay

[azure palm]

but dont change the templates you already have!

create new ones

and no support

[hoary mortar]

back

[tranquil lion]

How am I doing?

Encircled a good few German divisions.

[bright arrow]

Watch out for polish incompetence

Germany declares on them, and i think they instantly join your faction

And then die

[fallen vigil]

it worked

i finished the civil war in 2 months

thanks

[azure palm]

great

[azure palm]

it works for basicly every civil war btw, just not the spanish one

[fallen vigil]

there were some real units but it was mostly the shitty artillery ones

and i just naval invaded vp's using shitty 1wt cavalry

[azure palm]

yeah the AI creates them at the start

[dusky burrow]

shockingly well

[slim nexus]

can anyone play a communist india for this game im playing

[dusky burrow]

You're having issues with the civil war?

[slim nexus]

no im doing a nato vs warsaw alt history with some friends, and my india got grounded

[dusky burrow]

Ah I see

[keen vapor]

What Trianon should have been🔥

[sweet bone]

wow

[slim nexus]

are you able to help?

[plucky girder]

that's somehow worse than China annexing norway

[loud shuttle]

This good?

[dusky burrow]

You probably should have better guns

Also if this is multiplayer you should have 3 small cannon turrets + radio on the top row

also OKMO too

[tranquil lion]

Problem... Running out of manpower, and Germany's too cowardly to start war with the Allies.

[loud shuttle]

singleplayer

[loud shuttle]

raise conscription

[tranquil lion]

Can't

Czechoslovakia.

[sweet bone]

do the focus an entente of our own and invite more people

[tranquil lion]

Done already

Hungary and Yugoslovakia refused.

[sweet bone]

did you start the war or did germany start it?

[tranquil lion]

How would I have started it...?

[dusky burrow]

well

howitzer + 3 hmg turrets + radio then

[loud shuttle]

easy maintenance?

[loud shuttle]

and what should be the actual template

like 2 rows of heavys then 2 rows of motorized/mechanized?

[dusky burrow]

Yeah 9 heavies 9 mechanized ideally

• assault engineers, flame tanks, field hospitals, ranger recon, and aa/logistics

[loud shuttle]

alr and what about the flame tank design?

[dusky burrow]

best flamethrower + radio + breakthrough modules (e.g. additional ammo, side skirts, autoloader, stabilizer)

[loud shuttle]

okey thanks

[jaunty delta]

Poland.

[dusky burrow]

gosh damnit poland

[candid tartan]

@solemn onyx!

[fallow grove]

If I have higher attack than enemy has defense do i kill them?

[rich nacelle]

Can’t wait to fight the allies as China :/

[dusky burrow]

No you crit them

[fallow grove]

And that means?

[rich nacelle]

I will first do an invasion of Philippines and Malaya. Followed by a push into India towards Iraq. Then I will just afk and port cheese them to death

[dusky burrow]

4 * (attack - defense) + defense would be your damage

So every point of attack above defense counts 4 times

[coarse willow]

why does my game have this annoying black outline around text

[rich nacelle]

Idk

[coarse willow]

when i enter the screenshot menu it dissapears

[fallow grove]

Thank you

[coarse willow]

but my game is stuck like that

[dusky burrow]

windows shift s if you're on windows

[rich nacelle]

Anyone here like eggs?

[coarse willow]

yes, that’s how i entered the screenshot menu 😭

how do i fix my game tho

[fallow grove]

Remembers me when one of my tanks got stuck in Krasnodar and I could not move it from there even tho it was my land and I was not even at war 🤣

[weak bear]

I've gotten decent at saving Spain as a democratic minor

[fallow grove]

Diyarbakir also has the same issue if you enter with a tank you cant leave sometimes

[weak bear]

It's a fun war though the Republicans make bad decisions

[coarse willow]

??

[rich nacelle]

The republicans always have half their army go poof whenever I help them :/

Gets consumed by the cannibals ig

[fallow grove]

Lol?

[tranquil lion]

I swear to God, the Allies will join in any war against me when I'm attacking some random minor nation, but won't join f***ing WW2 when this is occurring.

[crystal marsh]

how do i turn austria into liechtenstein again

[serene inlet]

supply use....

[dusky burrow]

org is a bit low and supply companies are off

[fallow grove]

I wonder how many times Hitler capped the allies in hoi that they won’t bother anymore with him

[serene inlet]

supply companies?

i just made this cuz i hotjoined an mp match as spain

[dusky burrow]

support companies

My bad

[serene inlet]

engi?

i dont really have the industry to make those tho

[dusky burrow]

Yeah assault engineers if possible

And flame tanks

and hospitals

And either light tank recon or ranger recon

and then logistics or aa

[serene inlet]

ughhhh

i dont think thatll be possible

[zinc light]

guys I've made it

Italian Unification as the Pope in Kaiserreich in August 39

[dusky burrow]

kill the germans 😡 😡 😡

[zinc light]

I will!!!

[hoary mortar]

MUEHEHEHE

[zinc light]

they own Alto Aldige, or how they call it... South Tyrol

I need it!!!111!!

[hoary mortar]

i killed all British fleets around the UK. THe last of their navy is in the med

[dusky burrow]

Nice

Maybe it's time for a sealion

But first take Malta

[hoary mortar]

Yep. Troops are all ready to go

[hoary mortar]

yeeaah I kinda left Africa

[zinc light]

now do I join the Entente or the Reichspakt

[dusky burrow]

Malta has 29 starving troops

It's free pickings

[hoary mortar]

Alright sure.

i'll probably sealion 1st tho

[dusky burrow]

Of course prepare your naval invasion of the UK first

[hoary mortar]

Yup

My fleet is just on a winning streka

so many American and british ships

[dusky burrow]

Yep

[hoary mortar]

Brazillians too in the med

[zinc light]

I'll do a save right here and join the germans
maybe I'll come back and do Entente

but, givern that the entente is... 2 minor powers in europe

[hoary mortar]

Hmm should I use regular hangar deck or PACKED hangar deck for my 1940 CV

[dusky burrow]

what do you mean?

[hoary mortar]

Design. I could have multiple "packed hangar decks" which have 30space for planes

[dusky burrow]

Modded?

Are there any drawbacks

[craggy trail]

It's probably the ice carrier

[hoary mortar]

nah DLC

[tranquil lion]

Can someone tell me if the Allies will eventually join somehow? Because Germany never invaded, and lost its wargoal on Poland... so...

[craggy trail]

Since they get 30-plane hangars that can support strategic bombers

[dusky burrow]

Yeah it's better to stack as many planes as possible on your carriers tbh

[hoary mortar]

more cost and operational flexibility

alright sure

[dusky burrow]

Because you can only get so many air wings into battle

[hoary mortar]

Btw its 1943 and I'm just now attempting a sealion(i started war in 1940 tbf)

FINALLY SOME ACTION

They... left

British bastards

[dusky burrow]

You should really repair your battleships

[hoary mortar]

yeah i will

damn they're low

DAMN

[dusky willow]

and yet im capitulated l mfao as belgium

[crystal marsh]

merry christmas

[hazy sequoia]

Yo does anyone wanna play HOI4 with me and two friends we lowk bored

[crystal marsh]

[dusky burrow]

good luck

[hazy sequoia]

Come on man hop on HOI4

[bronze mango]

What are you trying to do exactly?

Can't you just attack them directly from Albania?

[dusky burrow]

avoid having to deal with the Greek troops bottling up in Thermopylae

Sometimes you do have to take Crete to capitulate Greece btw

[bronze mango]

Never happened to me

[hoary mortar]

ye

africa is done

bruh

[rich nacelle]

Did they fix the bug where you can make a collab government on a capitulated nation and release the controlled territory as a puppet?

[hoary mortar]

why is this playing stfu I'm playing Germany lmao

[rich nacelle]

Because you are about you get killed by giga chad Ike

More likely it is playing because of the in game date

[bronze mango]

That's how the speeches pack works

[hoary mortar]

HUH

[rich nacelle]

Hehehe

Ike don’t mess around boi

[hoary mortar]

true, it is nice to hear them tbh

[rich nacelle]

Expect 5 billion divisions to land in the Netherlands for you to encircle

[bronze mango]

It's like a more boring super event

[hoary mortar]

Jeez this 1940 cruiser is mean

39light attack

[bronze mango]

I thought the trigger was like allied naval invasions

[rich nacelle]

Idk what it is tbh

I know the chamberlain declaration of war is cause by Germany attacking Poland

[bronze mango]

And Munich conference is for

Well the Munich conference

[rich nacelle]

The Stalin speech is caused whenever the Soviets are in a war with a major

[bronze mango]

The us war with Japan one happens whenever any country attacks the US

[rich nacelle]

Doesn’t need to be the axis

[bronze mango]

With considerable delay usually

The one for the end of the war happens whenever the allies win a war

[hoary mortar]

Ye

[rich nacelle]

The speech irl happened around when Kiev was taken iirc

[bronze mango]

It gets annoying after the 5th mini war in 1947 when the speech starts again

[hoary mortar]

where tf is their last fleet

[rich nacelle]

Real

[rich nacelle]

Hiding

[bronze mango]

Maybe it's losing a core state

[rich nacelle]

If you open that tab it should highlight the sea zones their ships are in

If you have the intel

[hoary mortar]

always hard to find em

wait which tab

i got 100% intel on their navy

[bronze mango]

Wait no it plays also in my soviet games and I never lose cores

[hoary mortar]

OH

WAIT

WHAT

[bronze mango]

Huh

[rich nacelle]

Yep

[hoary mortar]

didnt know u could see it

[rich nacelle]

I bombed the allied fleet once with it

[rich nacelle]

It’s hard to see

TURN OFF DAY AND NIGHT CYCLE YOU MONSTER

[hoary mortar]

jeez

[hoary mortar]

project wingman be like

[jaunty delta]

i remember yellowstone terrified me when i was young

but then again so did 2012

[safe wing]

Sparta is overrated

Macedon and the Diadochi are cooler

[hoary mortar]

Alright

last of the Brit navy is in the North Sea

[safe wing]

Offtopic but I’m taking a temporary break from hoi4

Playing some Rome II divide et impera mod

[jaunty delta]

western roman empire or eastern roman empire guys

[safe wing]

Eastern

But the mod doesn’t cover that era

It covers 278 bc - 30 ad I think

[analog bloom]

My special military operation in Chile isn't going so well. What do i do?

[jaunty delta]

western roman empire was a truly beautiful thing

until 300AC or something

[safe wing]

406

Ad

[tepid crown]

Escalate

[jaunty delta]

yea

[analog bloom]

WHAT DO YOU MEAN

[safe wing]

When the Rhine crossing of December 406 happened

[jaunty delta]

the last time we tried to get united europe, it didnt go too well

[analog bloom]

I DON'T HAVE ANY GUNS TO ESCALATE.

[solemn bay]

Should i get a HOI4 cake for my birthday

[safe wing]

It never really recovered from 406 and spiraled until it fell in 476

[hoary mortar]

Lol their Manpower went up while the ships went down

[dusky burrow]

Which nation are you

[bright arrow]

Does Infantry Expert affect Marshalls?

[jaunty delta]

wb plunder of rome. what do you think of that

[analog bloom]

PERU BOLIVIA CONFEDERATION

[dusky burrow]

Ah I see

[safe wing]

Which one the 410 one or 455 one

[dusky burrow]

You probably should build mountaineers

[heavy vigil]

Vicking it rn

[dusky burrow]

And if you're Peru generally attacking north is a better idea than attacking south

[solemn bay]

I NEED THIS

[dusky burrow]

Since your navy is stronger than theirs and you can naval invade to victory

[safe wing]

One by the Visigoths one by the vandals

[hoary mortar]

usa PISS OFF

[analog bloom]

I AM AND MY NAVY GOT DESTORYED

[sudden thistle]

Take some divs off

[heavy vigil]

Hi chris

[safe wing]

I’m Rome 2ing it rn

[dusky burrow]

Ah

[hoary mortar]

also can THESE US SUBS STOP INTERCEPTING MY TROOPS

[dusky burrow]

Yeah that's a problem

[safe wing]

Not as bad as compared to 455

[hoary mortar]

cross the rubocn

[sudden thistle]

Hear me out

Use nukes

[daring geyser]

My special military operation in Kursk isn't going so well. What do i do?

[sudden thistle]

🔥

[safe wing]

I haven’t fought Carthage yet

[dusky burrow]

Anyways then the only tip I can give is to get mountaineers and air

[analog bloom]

ok

ill try but i dont have any guns

i got -9k

[hoary mortar]

plz bro

[hoary mortar]

aah goodluck

[dusky burrow]

How much naval penalty do you have?

[safe wing]

Its hard in the mod

[hoary mortar]

idk

[safe wing]

Like really hard

[dusky burrow]

(a little is fine, it builds character commando)

Hover over the naval penalty symbol

[safe wing]

You fight a 80 turn long death war over the western Mediterranean

[hoary mortar]

wheres that

[dusky burrow]

the anchor symbol on the left

below your unit names

[heavy vigil]

I love vic3 i love vic3 i love vic3 I LOVE VIC3 I LOVE VIC3

[sudden thistle]

Btw can u check how much gdp the Russian ai has

Pls

[safe wing]

I honestly prefer this over just steamrolling Carthage who is a pushover in vanilla

[dusky burrow]

Your mairnes are performing a lot worse than they should

[heavy vigil]

52.8

[hoary mortar]

oh wait

[heavy vigil]

Uk has 102

[hoary mortar]

-18.10% naval penalty

[sudden thistle]

Not even 52.8m 🥀

[heavy vigil]

I have 2.7

[sudden thistle]

wtf

Ur Hawaii

[heavy vigil]

Germany has 81.4

[slim nexus]

I never understood vic 3 tbh

[hoary mortar]

and I lost

[heavy vigil]

Italy has 64.2

[sudden thistle]

Green number good

[heavy vigil]

Strong

[slim nexus]

Like most paradox games

[heavy vigil]

Oh yeah the germans have taken over my country

[slim nexus]

I’ve been trying to get into stellaris tbh

[safe wing]

I’m replaying modded Rome 2 total war

[hoary mortar]

Bro

[slim nexus]

18gb of mods to make it enjoyable and it crashes every two seconds

[dusky burrow]

that's bad but not too bad, seems like your divisions are just not good

[safe wing]

In a mod that makes Rome itself a decent challenge

[hoary mortar]

why tf are my marines retreaeating into a surrounded tile

[heavy vigil]

i should prob change the language of my game

but theyve taken over

[dusky burrow]

they should retreat to the nearest port

also how was sealion

[hoary mortar]

Hows this for a marine template (i jjust made it 18w)

[hoary mortar]

havent done it yet

OH SIHT

it auto triggeed

i aint ready

[dusky burrow]

Really strange, that should not be having naval penalty

[heavy vigil]

btw @sudden thistle

i have a lot of foreign money

[hoary mortar]

i just made it 18w sadly. Before it was 16

[dusky burrow]

65% bonus in naval invasions > 50% penalty, so there should be no naval penalty

[cedar charm]

Personally I'd add some support artillery and AA to that.

[dusky burrow]

Ah I see what went wrong

Your divisions have no strength

[hoary mortar]

GO MY CHILDREN FLY LIKE THE WIND

[dusky burrow]

3000 capacity air bases?

[hoary mortar]

yea

i built em up

[dusky burrow]

vanilla max is 2000 though

[safe wing]

Patavium is mine

[mild plaza]

I wonder how much coverage the ones in the netherlands have

[hoary mortar]

no idea

[mild plaza]

Definitely not enough

[hoary mortar]

and 6 divisions died instantly

thats neat

nvm 7

[bronze mango]

But the max is 2000?

[dusky burrow]

Did you just land on Dover or did you land on the entirety of the southern coast

[hoary mortar]

i tihnk i have a mod to increase building cap

[dusky burrow]

okay cool then

[hoary mortar]

i never noticed this...

https://tenor.com/view/joaquin-phoenix-smile-nervous-bipolar-depressed-gif-16287690

[mild plaza]

You shouldn't just invade single tiles

[hoary mortar]

yeah

Im gonna sink ENgland into the atlantic

Yay my last save was 5 months before this

I'm turning England into an underwater volcano

[dusky burrow]

You could start building heavy cruisers for shore bombardment, super-heavy railway gun to neutralize the Dover fort, and other things

[livid umbra]

why can't i make any progress against france here? i have green airspace also

[dusky burrow]

I think you can, you just need to reinforce meme them out of tiles

You clearly need to widen your frontline

[hoary mortar]

the most relaxing jazz is playing rn

"the night before"

[dusky burrow]

Nice

russia is going democratic

[hoary mortar]

Hopefully actually democratic

[dusky burrow]

true

[hoary mortar]

WHY DO I HAVE SO MUCH CAS IN RESERVE

[dusky burrow]

Oh yeah probably use those too

[hoary mortar]

[serene inlet]

good for 38? ignore the supply use

[restive estuary]

[blazing grotto]

lowk i wanna play with someone, im so bored and wanna do a game with someone

[wraith mauve]

is there any mods like tno but are easier to run

[wraith mauve]

Tno

[sinful cloud]

ts is so funny man

a bunch of submarines vs royal navy + others

[obsidian token]

can i get a good mech infantry template

and the best marines template

[heavy vigil]

6 7

[gusty oracle]

uhh so is uk declaring war on Italy, germany, and soviets on historical normal

[obsidian token]

@gusty oracle can you help

[gusty oracle]

sure

[obsidian token]

what are the best templates sir

[gusty oracle]

can you send your current template

[gusty oracle]

Im no expert but ill try to help

[obsidian token]

i uhm am not playing hoi4 but i played mp yesterday and made some trash divs

like 6 mehcanised and 1 artiller 2 anti tank and 1 anti air

[gusty oracle]

I would do more mech and make the AA, artillery, and AT motorized versions

[obsidian token]

yeah i forgot to make trucks

btw im kinda stupid

you could say like

[gusty oracle]

yeah always remember to make trucks

[obsidian token]

8 mechanized

idk how with works exactly

[gusty oracle]

I would do like 10 mech

and remember to add support companies

[obsidian token]

Alright whats in your opinion the best offensive infantry division design

i joined this server 2 years ago

and i didnt get an answear then

[gusty oracle]

like 10 inf, 1 artillery, and good support companies

support artillery, support AA, recon, and flametanks if you can afford

[obsidian token]

heres the templates i use ik the mechanized one is bad also i couldnt get anti tank but i used it as a support company on the inf one and as both a support company and in the template

[obsidian token]

is that really the best

lets say im in 1944 what would be the best then

assuming i have all the equipment i need

[bright arrow]

ohhhh yeaaaah

[gusty oracle]

yeah add more mech, motorize artillery and stuff, remove at least 1 artillery for the infantry

[gusty oracle]

yeah pretty much

[wraith mauve]

Anyone in Tno discord

[rich nacelle]

If I go to war with the allies but call nobody in, will the allies still be able to trade with my faction members or not?

[bright arrow]

Yes

[rich nacelle]

Fk

That is stupid

Do trade relations at least go down the drain to where they can only get some resources?

[wraith mauve]

Anyone?

[serene inlet]

how do i fix my tank divisions losing alot of tanks on even good supply areas

[bright arrow]

I mean, if they arent at war, they can get as much as possible

[serene inlet]

reliability isnt even that bad

[bright arrow]

Im at war with Germany, they have Indonesia in their faction, but they didn't call them in

[serene inlet]

it shouldnt make me go on a 6K tank deficit

[rich nacelle]

…

[bright arrow]

Im getting like 100 rubber from trade with Indonesia

[rich nacelle]

That is actually annoying

[bright arrow]

Indonesia (axis member) is literally fuelling my airforce

Just cuz they didn't join the war

[rich nacelle]

Especially since my first move will be to take Indonesia for the rubber. Hungary is also in Comintern with me so free aluminum

World map. I am China

Arrows are just my attak plans

[obsidian token]

why

did they ban you cause your in tfr server

[wraith mauve]

Wait maybe

Holy shit

[obsidian token]

they ban people from tfr server

[wraith mauve]

Thats hella weird

[serene inlet]

why do i lose so much tanks in battle genuinely

[obsidian token]

yeah they are crazy

same with kaiserreich i think

[rich nacelle]

Are you losing battles or getting encircled?

Bc that is the only thing I can think of.

[serene inlet]

winning battles LOL

[rich nacelle]

Huh

[obsidian token]

they ban people from tfr cause they think the server has some weird idelogies ifykwim

[serene inlet]

yet im still losing a shit ton of tanks

[rich nacelle]

I assume that the ai divisions are just good against tanks or smth

[obsidian token]

67777

[serene inlet]

the reliability isnt evne that bad

i dont get it

[rich nacelle]

Also your production is too low. Double it

[serene inlet]

how is it too low

[wraith mauve]

How do I appeal

For unban

[serene inlet]

i'm making 35 a day 😂

[rich nacelle]

Try to get reliability at 80%

Also those tanks are slow af. Usually trying to get to 8-10km/ph is ideal.

Other than that idk

[serene inlet]

8kmh tanks is useless lol

when u go barb whitout supply its useless

[jovial sigil]

Average day of trashing the soviets

[bright arrow]

my path all the way from Nizhny Novgorod has come to this

[rich nacelle]

Ok. Why in god’s name is being at war with a faction member not something that effects trade relations?

[bright arrow]

i will destroy the facists

[rich nacelle]

Noice

[wraith mauve]

Can somone appeal for an unban of me

On Tno discord

[bright arrow]

The fascists cant even establish a frontline lmao

[rich nacelle]

I port cheesed Japan into having 2 divisions left. They sent one of them to my port cheese. The ai is not smart lmao

Like ah yes send half to army to doom instead of keeping it on the home islands

[wraith mauve]

Can somone

[craggy trail]

[bright arrow]

the Lair of evil is wide open, you can see victory ahead

[wraith mauve]

Can u?

[dusky burrow]

motorized artillery division

lmao

[wraith mauve]

What about u?

[craggy trail]

No can do

[wraith mauve]

Ok

[craggy trail]

The quirks of discord servers

[bright arrow]

Im literally the USREA

The most wholesome path for russia

[wraith mauve]

Dude Tno banned me from there discord because my tag was tfr

So Im pissed

And I need a unban appeal

[bright arrow]

Sorry

Too busy making sure the TNO timeline doesn't come to pass

[agile perch]

am i tweaking for liking playing the bad sides

like playing noob countries

[hoary mortar]

FEllas

• Do I invade Egypt and blow up the Suez to trap the UK/American Fleets.
  Or go for Sea LION
  which do I do first

The situation in Africa atm

[dusky burrow]

Your units are attritioning

[dusky burrow]

I don't think you can sustain your presence on cyprus rn

[hoary mortar]

Yeah its very ballsy. just a gamble

[serene inlet]

why did my sp randomly add 1 width

to itself

[dusky burrow]

Capturing Cyprus itself wasn't a bad decision tbh

[dusky burrow]

Yeah about that

[serene inlet]

i swear it was 36

and like now its 46

why

[dusky burrow]

I mean yeah you're right

I saw your original division

IDK what's going on though

[ancient marsh]

trapping their fleets isn’t a horrible idea but they can repair it relatively quickly

what’s it look like in russia

[serene inlet]

idk i already killed everyone rn except soviets so idc

[dusky burrow]

I mean you should

Because then you might not fit in battles

[hoary mortar]

havent bothered with Russia yet.

[serene inlet]

i already ran trough usa in 2 months with those tho

doesnt that look goated

[hybrid atlas]

Watching someone who knows nothing about history playing Hoi4 would be interesting.

[hoary mortar]

WHERE ARE THEY COMING FORM

i hate UK

pulls 50 divisions out of their ass

[wraith mauve]

Anyone have a alt account u can borrow

So I can appeal for an unban

[hoary mortar]

again instantly dies

[dusky burrow]

I think you should attack along more tiles

[bright arrow]

the end of this run

[split bane]

Orange France 🔥

[hoary mortar]

Brits are always there and they isntantly die

[serene inlet]

[hoary mortar]

Ffs

[heavy vigil]

take it

[serene inlet]

why do they reinforce that part specifically

like can you spread out

[heavy vigil]

go around encircle more

its so easy

[serene inlet]

playing mobile warfare with speed buffs feels like playing on 4 speed when i play on

[serene inlet]

ig

[hoary mortar]

This is what I'm trying. But then insatntly every single allied soldier with their fat mother teleports in to curbstomp me

[heavy vigil]

big red icon

[hoary mortar]

I break through with the invaison but then it instantly dies

[heavy vigil]

[wraith mauve]

[hoary mortar]

[hoary mortar]

Cool map

[hoary mortar]

I CAPTURED PALESTINE

holy shit airfield with 1200storage for planes

every SINGLE TIME

[brittle cypress]

navy is fun for the like 20 seconds that a battle goes on and you can see the enemy fleet die

or when you're killing a ton of convoys

that's about it

[hoary mortar]

Why is this so impossible
