[fair horizon]

But also i love how they made the italy adf more lore accurate

[hoary mortar]

70s

F16 first flew In the mid-late 70s

[true needle]

Idk maybe m8p5j is right and I'm just stupid as I seem incapable of even the most basic things despite wasting 700 hours playing

[fair horizon]

i hate you for being right

[hoary mortar]

Mirage 2k.
Male 2000

[fair horizon]

2000 MIRAGES?!?!?

[hoary mortar]

Same with the f15 lmao. Nearly every modern military vehicle is old.

Abrams and the t72 series(t90 too cuz it's an upgraded t72) are from 1970s

[fair horizon]

my favorite is the tornado

[hoary mortar]

Yess

[fair horizon]

its a shame they wont give us more modern brimstones

or rather non-laser ones

i got the entire italy air tree

[hoary mortar]

Fr

Gaijin listen to ur player base and update gamemodes

[fair horizon]

that aint happening

otherwise boats would have been fixed ever

[hoary mortar]

Yep money 1st, gameplay later

Now gn

[slow nova]

Who wants to play kaiserredux with me this afternoon??

If you do the democratic monarchy roman empire you're OP

Trust Vittorio Emanuele III

He Is the best

[warped flint]

nah don't feel bad for not being able to cap like france early as italy i have nearly 2k and I cant even

[modern gust]

is there a channel where I can submit a potential bug?

[warped flint]

#tech-support I believe

[dusky burrow]

Perhaps

If you're naval invading Britain try something like this, well, I think

[indigo violet]

Mountaineers + marines looks so cursed imo, but damn does it work well

[dusky burrow]

Yep

[indigo violet]

But heavy tanks might be overkill, when in sp atleast

[warped flint]

I just discovered this

I can get my improved airframe even faster

probably mid 1938 now

[finite plume]

Ay Cuba provinces

[warped flint]

Italy is genuinely the most worthless thing on earth

[wary sparrow]

the borders....

[brave wyvern]

HOI 5 when

Hopefully it will come out before stellaris 2

[dusky burrow]

Well yeah because they're attritioning

[warped flint]

They didn't even put effort into defending iraq

[dusky burrow]

If you deploy torpedo bombers to Italy they will probably do better

[warped flint]

and nearly got my men encircled

[dusky burrow]

Nearly got your men encircled?

[warped flint]

Yeah I was helping push into egypt, and they didn't cover the iraqi front

Look away for 2 damn seconds

[dusky burrow]

Well they can't support operations overseas from Italy at all

Not without naval support

[warped flint]

Total supremacy in the med

I was even sending cas down there to help

[dusky burrow]

Probably a lot of subs here

But okay huh

[warped flint]

I think its just italian incompetence

[dusky burrow]

Either way your logistics situation meant that you will have a difficult time pushing into Egypt

[mystic jacinth]

is dlc out yet?

if not what time does dlc come out usually

[dusky burrow]

November 20

[mystic jacinth]

damn I thought it was in October

[neat kayak]

I am eating France rn

yummy

[toxic cypress]

italy is like top 5 nations in hoi4

its monarchist tree is broken op

communist is broken op

facist is gay ash

but 4/6 paths r goated

and it has one of the best starting pointws

u can easily annex france

if u start early

you have the navy to naval invade the uk

very good tech start

amazing bonuses in africa

[neat kayak]

HRE HRE HRE HRE HRE

[toxic cypress]

why did u leave france alive

[neat kayak]

Puppet

🙂

[toxic cypress]

cant you core em

i think

[neat kayak]

Nope

[toxic cypress]

one of the austrian paths

can form eu

i cant remember

[dusky burrow]

Is it really alive when you can just annex it

[coral gorge]

Hmm

[neat kayak]

Ye thats correct

But i went monarchist

Not Non aligned EU path

[coral gorge]

Anything other than AUH is gae

[toxic cypress]

🤷‍♂️

eitherway

i would annex all

[toxic cypress]

what happened with poland doe

[sudden grotto]

Is getting aleksei in tno achievable or Is It Just a thing to feed the tno lore

[toxic cypress]

why didnt germany take it

[neat kayak]

uhm

[toxic cypress]

i remember

u can core german lands

[neat kayak]

let's not talk about poland

Germany went cw

[toxic cypress]

when i play ausria

i let germany go big

than annex

[neat kayak]

and didn't do anything

and then the better german state came

[toxic cypress]

literally every german path is op ash

except some of the facist replacement paths

[coral gorge]

So what is OP? If everything is

[toxic cypress]

almost everything is op

the true exceptions are the sucky ones

like modern yugoslavia

the nerfs

made em so shitty

romania path sucks

french sucks

english is so close to greatness

usa sucks

japan sucks

china sucks

soviets are close to greatness

[coral gorge]

Ok

[toxic cypress]

the trials of allegiance ones

were op

now their just standard

[coral gorge]

Ok

[dusky burrow]

Oh hello sheep

[cedar lance]

hello yalls

[small lynx]

anyone else getting this?

i checked everythings fine

[warped flint]

I am stuck in the east, my tanks are stuck, my only good oil supplier is gone, Iran is occupied.....

[misty fossil]

we dont need stellaris 2

stellaris 1 is almost as good as it can get

devs just need to make ships lag not as bad

[cedar lance]

hello yalls

[tardy marten]

That my million power ships against million power enemy ships battles

[tardy marten]

It's alright, we can start another offensive next winter

[warped flint]

With what oil....

🙏

[tardy marten]

Poor bro

Ask romanians

[misty fossil]

imagine

[warped flint]

cockasus offensive

[warped flint]

[tardy marten]

Romanian and Hungarian forgot something

[heavy vigil]

Yes

[terse crater]

What is everyone's favorite mod?

[warped flint]

TNO

[tardy marten]

toolpack, remove Arab South America Sahara, fnaf menu, fps map

[fallow grove]

As ussr is more effective to expand early or to keep stability high?

[small lynx]

oh nice

so its their problem

[tardy marten]

Rushing Stalin paranoid I'm pretty sure

[fallow grove]

Yeah but while im doing that what is better to expand or to keep stability high

[tardy marten]

Higher stability

You can still play easily as real life historical ussr

Expand while midgame

[fallow grove]

Ok

[misty fossil]

hi , im dad

[high vessel]

The peak of hoi4 gameplay is playing the game on your laptop in the middle of college courses

In a way you're still studying

[eternal palm]

Bro spelling caucasus isn't hard 😭

[cedar lance]

OH MAH DAWGS WASSUP AHHAHA

[river gull]

Hey folks

Im in my hoi4 phase again

[fallen vigil]

im trying to do bad ending the whole world is brazil and im about to kill myself

i just capped the us and its 1946

[copper cobalt]

Oof

[gleaming iron]

i made mega india with gandhi do you like it?

full nepal, bhutan and goa taken

[copper cobalt]

O.o

[trim pike]

💀

[gleaming iron]

and cambodia too

[copper cobalt]

Mega India and it's just Raj+cambodia

[gleaming iron]

real

nepal and bhutan too

[copper cobalt]

Well Portuguese India as well

[trim pike]

Cockasus lmao

[gleaming iron]

goa

[copper cobalt]

Yeah

[gleaming iron]

i also took some random japanese islands and portugese islands

as i found a way to join the allies as democracy

[copper cobalt]

Did you take their navy

[gleaming iron]

sadly no

i didnt have enough points

[copper cobalt]

eh

[cedar lance]

im gonna make a couple few Ranger templates

[gleaming iron]

but portugal still exists(pro-allies)

[copper cobalt]

You could puppet them in a state and have the navy

[gleaming iron]

i didnt have much points

[copper cobalt]

Used it to backstab the allies ofc

[gleaming iron]

8000+

[copper cobalt]

Ah ic

[gleaming iron]

goa was 1 point lol

and the uk was generous enough to use their point to give it to me

should i take afghanistan or get millitary first?

[cedar lance]

hello yalls

[gleaming iron]

hello

[cedar lance]

wassup BP?

[copper cobalt]

Afghan

Would be annoying to get later

[cedar lance]

hey btw should i get ALL of the SPs?

[mild flame]

something definitely went wrong here

[tough patio]

imagine if we have a habsburg path where otto does this

[mild flame]

hopefully one day

[bronze mango]

How did otto become German kaiser?

[mild flame]

somehow

[bronze mango]

Ah it's modded

[quasi viper]

Super Germany

[tough patio]

poland borders look funny

[bronze mango]

Could've also been the any leader trait mod

[mild flame]

you guys think i should form großdeutschland or keep kaiserreich der habsburger

[bronze mango]

Keep the habsburg name

[mild flame]

bet

lets go

[cedar lance]

alr

[cedar lance]

im gonna add and mod in LOTS LOADS of new SPECIAL PROJECTS

[bronze mango]

Capitulated In 2 minutes

[mild flame]

historically accurate

[gleaming iron]

is this good

totake

or take whole

[bronze mango]

Why are you justifying on so many states

[mild flame]

W or L

[eternal palm]

You don't need to justify on multiple states just do one

[cedar lance]

what new SPs should i add

[west cypress]

Does anyone know how much army support i get from this focus

[eternal palm]

Just do the focus and check 😭

[west cypress]

not possible

[eternal palm]

Also why are you doing cw instead of killing Stalin?

Right oppo cw is ass

[keen vale]

285 convoys in 1 place

[west cypress]

I dont remember asking but if you say

[eternal palm]

I'm just saying you don't have to do cw you can just kill Stalin. Just for next time

[cedar lance]

i cant wait to add and mod in more new SPECIAL PROJECTs

[copper cobalt]

Do it one state

You justify for one state then do whatever you want in the peace conference

[slow nova]

Combat width 36 Is bad, at least try 35 or 35.5

[sudden thistle]

36 fits best in tiles for tanks

Since they have a 2w battalion size

[slow nova]

Ok and with the maximum combat width???? What can I use?

[potent zinc]

i don't know

[cedar lance]

what wdym

[potent zinc]

.

[cedar lance]

oh alr

[sudden thistle]

Just use 36 or whatever floats your boat

I mean u get a 1.6% attack debuff

Who cares

[fallen vigil]

how do i beat germany they have 400-1000 divisions

[sudden thistle]

Plane

Lot of plane

Research naval invasion tech too

Maybe nuke spam too

[low cedar]

planes and good infantry or tanks lol

[valid nimbus]

nuke em

[cedar lance]

your fired

[tepid nova]

I just remembered when the overpriced DLC I will definetly buy without hesitation releases, a bunch of the mods in my playset will break ✌️

[keen vale]

how do i beat reich

[serene inlet]

put all your divisions into a battleplan and pin them against czechoslovakia, split them in half with your air aswell

[sudden thistle]

How do you fail this

[gleaming iron]

by beating them

ez

[tardy marten]

You lost against Hitler?

I thought German civil war is not that hard

[keen vale]

yes i just restarted now

[sudden thistle]

It’s not

U get like a 20% buff with the army

Attack/defense

With the better chunk of the army in civil war

[tardy marten]

Exactly

He probably messed up something

[sudden thistle]

Those 2 starting tank divs do wonders

[keen vale]

can you tell me the tactic to do it?

[tardy marten]

Just draw a frontline and attack

Use your tanks to breakthrough enemy line

That red numbers in your officers, it's too much

Should give the extra to other officers

[raw karma]

Interesting/funny thing is that HOI4 taught me how the wehrmact worked and how the inner circle was/worked

And in my opinion I feel like that playes out into templates

[graceful kayak]

when i play mapuche chile, can i not switch to commi afterwards?

[ancient marsh]

it’s harder than it used to be

i struggled my first try post gdr too

[heavy vigil]

Yeah the germans get some more spawn in divs

[ancient marsh]

finished in like dec

[heavy vigil]

And your core attack buffs are equal

[keen vale]

lol

[serene inlet]

how the hell do i fix bad tank reliability

its like 80%

and i still go on a crazy deficit at the slightest thing i do

[sharp sierra]

where you fighting

[serene inlet]

high supply areas

let me show the templates

[tardy marten]

80% is very very safe

[serene inlet]

yeah but when i attack the strength goes instantly down

[sharp sierra]

not much breakthrough

[serene inlet]

i lose hundreds in normal battles

[tardy marten]

It's only problem if you have like low reliability and fighting on low / no supply

[sharp sierra]

wheres all the support companies

[serene inlet]

i cant afford anything

i'm literally playing hungary

and its 39 pretty much

[sharp sierra]

yu can afford this template but not basic companies

[serene inlet]

yea

[sharp sierra]

🤷‍♂️

[serene inlet]

no engi assault cuz no land warfare

[heavy vigil]

Thats like the opposite of reliability issues

[serene inlet]

then what is it

i'm curious to know

[heavy vigil]

Your unit is way too large (combat width) so you can only attack with like 1 at a time

So it gets targetted by all enemies and does

Dies*

Your terrain debuffs are also horrid

With no support companies youll take so many debuffs/lose out on buffs theyre pointless

[serene inlet]

wait why is the combat width 46

[heavy vigil]

Youre using SPGs

[serene inlet]

ah hell nah

i should've waited to get 1940 mediums

[heavy vigil]

???

You dont need anything more than interwar tanks

Just need a gun for them

If doing mediums

You can get newer tanks if you want but they wont be better

[serene inlet]

no no

its so i can use a medium howi and not turn it into spg

[heavy vigil]

Your design also sucks

You dont need a fixed turret

You should be using your secondary gun slots for heavy machine guns

And you should have howitzer 2

[heavy vigil]

You can always do that

You dont need any specific tank hull for it

[tardy marten]

Is this special module that can make non amphibious tank become one, is it useful?

[serene inlet]

not with this one

gets way more soft attack

[heavy vigil]

Dont do the arty role

Bad

[serene inlet]

i can use that on a non spg tank

if 1940 medium

[heavy vigil]

You can do it on all chassis

Like

Idk what youre yapping about

[lapis snow]

the hp is also not great

[heavy vigil]

Its fine

8 mech

Seen worse

Seen 6 mech tanks and wanted to cry

[serene inlet]

wdym

[lapis snow]

oof lol

[heavy vigil]

It makes the tanks special forces

[serene inlet]

when i tried on 38 mediums

[heavy vigil]

So theyll get special forces buffs

[serene inlet]

it told me to go spg

[tardy marten]

That's it? Is it worth tho?

[heavy vigil]

Thats because of fixed turret

The fixed turret forces you off of medium tank role iirc

[tardy marten]

Or having armtrack is enough for that? No need that special tank

[heavy vigil]

do you have infinite IC to waste on slightly higher soft attack?

If yes, do it

If no, not really

[tardy marten]

I usually makes 36 medium tank mech template as my tanks

[tardy marten]

I'll try to make special force tanks

The meta one

[serene inlet]

is this lowkey bad

[tardy marten]

It's my average, it's works at least for me in my sp

Is that heavy machine gun?

[heavy vigil]

Stop with the fixed turret 😭

Just do 3 man

Its infinitely better

Regardless it sucks even then but itd be better at least

[serene inlet]

but then i cant put the medium howi

[tardy marten]

That's basically the cascet tank made by italians

[heavy vigil]

You can

[serene inlet]

o

waui

its 2 man mb

but even with 3 man it doesnt work

[tardy marten]

Just use that

[heavy vigil]

Then its your mod being weird

[heavy vigil]

Idk

[serene inlet]

whats wrong with fixed hyperstructure

i dont have mods affecting tanks

at all

[heavy vigil]

Terrible for break

[serene inlet]

ur right

i used this thing for an ironman run and it worked pretty well

but i used those thinking my temps were 36 width when they were 46

lmao

didnt struggle with those at all

[celest dirge]

Is millennium dawn got more content? The last major update is from Feb.

[tiny iris]

I would want a mod where Sweden won the great northern war.

I often dream about it, stay up at night thinking about it.

[heavy vigil]

Isnt that just darkest hour

iirc thats the name

[tiny iris]

Maybe...

[atomic grove]

bruh

austria being scared of switzerland makes no sense

[eternal palm]

My brother in christ: you're playing a game where a fking bear can become king. Now you tell me what makes more sense

[atomic grove]

oh right

now that i think about it

i wonder if switzerland can core austria hungary

[eternal palm]

Probably not. Unless it's specified in the code that Switzerland gets cores on all Austrian cores

[fiery sigil]

Do people play Mods like the Fire Rises in this Server?

[atomic grove]

answer: yes

[lapis snow]

looks like they do

[eternal palm]

:oh pog?

Also hi baba trois

[lapis snow]

are you using light tank turret?

you need to use mediumt ank turret

[onyx sundial]

Anyone wanna play hou4 im beginner

[misty fossil]

rip my oil

[north spoke]

is that named the musashi?

elite ball knowledge

[north spoke]

OIL?

[misty fossil]

i need to oil up

with this im gonna run out of oil in 2 weeks

[honest adder]

I cant push trough

Idk why

[loud shuttle]

okey done

[lapis snow]

overstacking units, attacking with inf, no air superiority, bad tanks

also its 41

war in the west shouldve been over a year ago

[honest adder]

So i should build more planes and improve my tank division designs?

And try not to put too many units on one front

[lapis snow]

correct

[honest adder]

alright

thanks

[onyx sundial]

Anyone wanna play?

[heavy vigil]

ai starts making actual CAS in 1940 btw

thats why people tend to start losing from then onwards

[cedar lance]

what is this

Get the ideological loyalty spirit

It should help you for a bit

And try to make small encirclments

[keen vale]

thank you

[cedar lance]

i always build ALL ship types variants versions and sizes

[onyx sundial]

what dlcs should i buy

[keen vale]

just pirate all of them

[fallow forge]

Cant compare, but suffered till 1950 to get this done

[honest adder]

Is this a good division design?

[onyx sundial]

how to pirate and still play multiplayer?

[keen vale]

check dm

[tepid crown]

No

[honest adder]

what should I change

[tepid crown]

What doctrine are you using

[honest adder]

Mobile warfare

[tepid crown]

Yeah. I wouldn’t

[eternal palm]

Use gbp when using tanks or if not using tanks, mass assault right side

[eternal palm]

Could be improved. First of all make it 36w, 30w isn't good. Then add and change support companies and don't mix tanks. Only use 1 type of tank in a div. Now finally upgrade to mechanised. In the end it should look like this

[honest adder]

I dont have all that in 1938

[eternal palm]

Then work towards it.

You can have mech in 38 though

Actually no you can

You'll just be missing the gun for the tank

Just use normal logis instead of heli

Like all of this is availabe in 38

[honest adder]

alright

thanks for helping

[misty fossil]

so real

[misty fossil]

yugoslavia is crazy

good job

[cedar lance]

hello yalls

i do also always use the sp_research_all Console command

[misty fossil]

absolutely vapourised

[onyx sundial]

what si the safe priate method of dlcs?

[bright arrow]

I wouldn't mix Heavies with mediums, add arty, anti air and logistics company. Maintenance isnt really good, unless your tanks have low reliability. I would also switch the recon to motorize instead of armor

When you add a heavy, you basically cap the speed of the entire division

[proud tapir]

ok this time i actualy did my air force focuses as Germany so im actualy capable of invading the UK

the navy way did NOT work

[bright arrow]

UK has one of the most OP starter navies

So trying to naval win them early on is basically impossible

[misty fossil]

thats just false

[proud tapir]

i will also try the France paradrop strat too while im at it

[misty fossil]

i did it twice

its easy

[proud tapir]

early 1939 rn, gonna train up some paratrooper units before i start the war

[bright arrow]

Winning against the British navy as Germany in 1939?

[misty fossil]

1940*

[bright arrow]

Unless you spam light cruisers good luck

[true needle]

Oh hey it's me again

[bright arrow]

But light cruiser spam is just cheesing basically

[true needle]

I'm going to do a Germany run when I get home, what are all the things I need to build?

[bright arrow]

A house

[true needle]

So far it's:

30w medium tank divisions

9/0 or 9/1 infantry

Light airframe fighters and CAS with matching ranges

Light attack light cruisers, AA battleships, and a few carriers

[cedar lance]

hello

[misty fossil]

nope i did carriers

[cedar lance]

i spam ALL ships

as Estonia

[misty fossil]

i had some proof in this chat i believe, just search by image

[true needle]

Maybe medium airframe naval bombers and maybe some strat bombers for bombing airfields

Oh and a couple marine divisions

[sudden thistle]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Naval_Defence_Act_1889

Ofc

It’s the uk

Idk what u expected

[bright arrow]

??

[proud tapir]

im doing a germany run, my strat will be a heavy air force focus to paradrop into France and the UK plus CAS

I built only mils too

My line inf is 9 block inf+support aa+support arty and support engineers

[bright arrow]

I said the Uk has the strongest starter navy

And you send an entire article to try and prove my point?

[proud tapir]

i will be honest, i didnt pay attention and didnt train offensive units.
But from past experience, Poland is just battleplan and go even with standard line inf. And i feel like western Europe with paratroopers isnt hard.

Then i can build actual offensive units before barbarossa

[mossy minnow]

I think they were being a bit like "What do you expect"

[misty fossil]

1800 soft attack on my 18w

[drifting igloo]

Damn .... show up the template

[misty fossil]

mods are better mechanics: div designer and better mechanics upgrade something

one that adds more support comps

[eternal palm]

Holy bloat 😭

[eternal palm]

Bro sees the grind and still asks for template 💀

Also 1.8k isn't even high

[vague blaze]

it's high for infantry

[eternal palm]

Eh, seen higher

Mountaineers with 5.4k

eZ

[vague blaze]

mountaineers aren't infantry

[eternal palm]

They literally are 💀

Unless you meant leg inf specifically

Not special forces

[vague blaze]

mountaineers can get much higher stats due to special forces bonuses

that's why the meta is to put amtracs in tank divisions

[eternal palm]

Ye thanks don't gotta explain the game to me

[vague blaze]

more impressive for infantry to get that high soft attack than special forces to get that high

[paper echo]

the true british way

[sudden thistle]

Yeah

[tardy marten]

Umm yeah not sure know why AI Allies still winning against AI axis that won against soviet

[remote quarry]

how about putting 50 mils on torp 2 naval bombers

[umbral grove]

How do i get the British ai to help me (im Netherlands)
Magna Europa
Ver 14.10?

[coral gorge]

date?

[tough patio]

nah allies irl werent bad at all

also wtf

[eternal palm]

Those who know 😭 😭 😭

[umbral grove]

Been fighting since January 1940

[honest night]

Allies irl would still probably win even if the Soviets collapsed it would just be way slower

[umbral grove]

France fell in augustus zero help uk even tho they have 114 divisions

Now in march 41

[coral gorge]

probably scripted not to help so mainland europe will die

[umbral grove]

Is there a way to prove that or rewrite it?

[coral gorge]

proving is easy

it is literally happening

that thing happens in vanilla too

well can try

eval_effect ENG = { add_ai_strategy = { type = force_defend_ally_borders area = europe value = 9999

or

[umbral grove]

In the dubug screen?

[coral gorge]

eval_effect ENG = { add_ai_strategy = { type = force_defend_ally_borders id = "HOL" value = 9999

in console command

[umbral grove]

Interesting il try it

[coral gorge]

it is possible that the mod has an even higher scripted value to prevent AI from helping

[umbral grove]

Magna so idk

[coral gorge]

just repeat the command

it stacks

well, other than that

just die

so the plot progresses

[umbral grove]

https://tenor.com/view/no-sir-i-will-not-yield-12angry-men-traffic-asshole-gif-5607826

[umbral grove]

Got forts so im holding on

[umbral grove]

How do you know these commandands?

[misty fossil]

what commandant?

[umbral grove]

Germany?

[misty fossil]

name?

who are we talking about

[sinful cloud]

right click your notifications maaaan

my eyes hurt

[umbral grove]

Karl?

[misty fossil]

karl marx?

[sinful cloud]

you know you're megachad when you right click military and civilian factory surplus icons

just can't be arsed after i got 30-60 mils on planes, 30 on tanks and 10 on mech, game's over

[umbral grove]

Dönitz

[paper echo]

too boring

[misty fossil]

no idea what you're talking about honestly

[umbral grove]

Karl dönitz is that the answer?

[eternal palm]

@umbral grove has achieved mass confusion by not understanding the difference between "commander" and "command"

:gigabrain:

Sheep is just very knowledgeable about the code of this game

They are the developer of the sheep hoi4 mod

So they just know their stuff

[umbral grove]

Oh thanks for telling me I figured that already

[umbral grove]

Good mod in your opinion?

[eternal palm]

God you're smart

[eternal palm]

Yes

One of my favourites

Cuz it makes this game not a sleepfest

[sudden thistle]

What’s ur fav

[eternal palm]

No clue

[umbral grove]

Might check it out

[sudden thistle]

Real

[eternal palm]

Have not thought about this in any particularity

[eternal palm]

Like any mod or content/overhaul mods?

[sudden thistle]

Any

My fav is prob kx, some more states mod, or the toolpack

[eternal palm]

Then it has to be FPS map, Modifier Icons and Better Air Deployment

[eternal palm]

💀

Ok so bloat bloat and cheating

[sudden thistle]

I paid for the game

Let me play it

[eternal palm]

I'd put Iron Map mode in here if it wouldn't crash my game 😭

[sudden thistle]

Magna Europa+100 realism mods is peak

[eternal palm]

😭

Holy bloat

[sudden thistle]

It’s fun try it

Ur just a hater

[paper echo]

are these enough for ussr

[coral gorge]

no

[thin coyote]

guys is it worth to buy no step back dlc?

[paper echo]

yes

[snow rain]

it's one of the best DLCs
Tank designer, flame tanks, railway guns (niche), armored trains (essential for no air builds), army spirits and good focuses

[thin coyote]

like i want it because there is like more focuses and bigger focus tree on poland

[umbral grove]

Supply

[paper echo]

i really love polish content

[eternal palm]

That's not a nsb feature.

[snow rain]

that's vanilla

[umbral grove]

No? It changed it didn’t it?

[snow rain]

all the trees are solid imo

[snow rain]

the free update changed it

[eternal palm]

You mean 5 years ago? 💀

It's in game

Dlc or no

[umbral grove]

Same with ai on gottadamrung?

[snow rain]

yes

[umbral grove]

👍

[thin coyote]

yes but mostly i play poland

i am just trying to do uprising with commands😭

[paper echo]

ussr is not surviving this

[supple pelican]

need more greece focus tree

[trim pike]

Explain

[solar tundra]

My divisions are as such:

3 rows of 3 infantry + towed AA and towed artillery and one line artillery

3 rows of 3 heavy tanks + one line artillery and support motorized artillery and support motorized recon

2 rows of 3 light tank + 2 motorized infantry, same supports as heavy tank division

and then 3x3 motorized infantry and 2x2 cavalry to run around

I am germany

[tepid crown]

Very cool

[solar tundra]

Is that effective

I have never used non default divions before

[lapis snow]

not really. The tanks are ass, none of your divs should have line arty after 1938

your supports are basic as hell

[solar tundra]

Okay

[lapis snow]

tank divs should ideally be 10 tanks 8 mech/cav

[solar tundra]

why mechsnized

[lapis snow]

mech is way better than motor, adds hardness and hp

you need hp in tank divs

since tanks alone have no hp or org

use motor if you want, I do it all the time, but mech is better

[solar tundra]

the infantry should be used for defending and the tanks for attacking right

[lapis snow]

correct

[solar tundra]

In my previous playthrough as germany i just made everyone go and got 3 million casualties but won

[tepid crown]

Against ai anything can work

[solar tundra]

like select everyone and go to moscow

[lapis snow]

meanwhile a properly specced germany can win wwii in 1940 with less than 400k losses

yes including eastern front

[solar tundra]

I plan to take all of russia and Italy and eastern europe

and Denmark

[eternal palm]

Make that 39 with early war

🥱

[lapis snow]

I'm not a sweat

[eternal palm]

Even with a badly optimised build and blundered into war by 37 I won by 1940

[eternal palm]

Right

The guy that did disaster saves that I couldnt do 😭

[solar tundra]

This was my previous playthrough

[eternal palm]

😭

Why is ukraine and poland alive 😭

[tepid crown]

339 factories in 1944

[lapis snow]

first ever germany game playing nice mode non-hist

[solar tundra]

The allies and I fought together

Poland had like 15% of the war score and wanted those parts

I started a civil war in poland so that i could get danzig because those states were technically enemy though

Poland also took Albania

[solar tundra]

It was on historical focuses

[lapis snow]

yeah but you werent

lol

[solar tundra]

True

[solar tundra]

And the british wanted to make Ukraine and Kazakhstan

And take Italy

[paper echo]

The new alternate history paths for Japan seem really interesting, but, on the other hand, I already had a DLC that gave Japan a focus tree and I don't wanna buy a DLC that does the samee thing 💀

[fallen vigil]

[sonic sand]

Evil Brazil flag

[sonic sand]

[fallen vigil]

and also how i improve air efficency??? i have no supply issues and i have good coverage and my airport capacity is good

[mighty zodiac]

no way 😭

there's no way it's 1950 and you're trying to navally invade with regular infantry

where are your marines, where are your amphibious tanks

[sonic sand]

Ref do something!!!!

[mighty zodiac]

you pretty much can't, in this context. you're trying to project power far away from your airports, they are defending their homeland where they have a ton of airports they can fill up

[fallen vigil]

tanks in the big 2025

infantry or cas ONLY in my household

[sonic sand]

Its 1950

Any tips for what to build as Italy? I have to build an aviation facility quickly for radar but I'm not sure if I should build infrastructure first because of the build speed boost you get from your focuses

Should I do historical or should I restore the monarchy?

[lunar oracle]

[rose siren]

[solar tundra]

I will stage a coup in Poland and send the elite Tiger divisions as volunteers to assist the insurgents so that Poland never joins allies so that the war is Allies + Germany/Eastern Europe/Finland vs Italy/Poland/USSR and i take everything

[lunar oracle]

thanks brother I'll report back as soon as I get it, probably gonna be a long few weeks I need these before the new dlc drops next month

[nocturne cedar]

nearing 1.5k

[lunar oracle]

I was non-stop playing at that time but I slowed down a bit since

[rose siren]

you will succeed i feel it

[solar tundra]

I might also at the same time. Take over Sweden or Denmark, while the war is happening. Or maybe Belgium and the Netherlands, because they won't join allies this route

[green moss]

well, it's time to circumnavigate the world

and visit Antarctica (that doesn't even exist in this mod)

[zinc light]

Sea Lion in Kaiserreich is absolutely brutal

I might just ignore britain for now and deal with the russians

[honest adder]

Should you use howitzers or close support guns on tanks

[covert hinge]

do you guys know any good mod

[zinc light]

Kaiserreich is pretty great if you dont want to learn anything new, just want new nations, focuses etc., it doesnt change any of the base mechanics
Great War I heard is also good, but you have different military equipment, troops etc.
Equestria at War is amazing if you love Lore and Storytelling, it also mostly works with the base mechanics with a few extra techs and units

[tiny iris]

What is that mao...

[covert hinge]

hmm

i once played equestria

but it was like

[tiny iris]

There is no sign of terrainnnnn
