[random delta]

guys did u know that spamming tactical bombers in hoi4 makes you a femboy 10 rounds ahead of time

[north spoke]

Average peace deal without PLPC

[drifting relic]

When I try to do trade ( I am in initial game ) my factorys which I put to take some stuff which I don't have but now my factorys can't be made which I am trying to make

Pls help

Pls guide

[eternal palm]

Trade less, kill Austria, go war eco

[drifting relic]

Do I make more factory ???

[eternal palm]

Do focuses that give civs

[drifting relic]

Ohhh so do I make more factorys as well?? I currently have 36 civilian

[drifting relic]

Pls tell this

[eternal palm]

Uh yes?

That's what you're trying to do?

Yes

Fps map doesn't change the checksum

[lunar oracle]

i'm nearly 100%, iron man is honestly not bad at all

yes almost every game I play I have non-histroical on

it's refreshing

[glacial oasis]

we can't be serious

since hoi4 isn't a super in depth ww2 sim it's a super nice feature to have

do you have Big Entente

personal favorite mod is Kaiserredux

if you like good rp as a nation it's super fun

I kinda have the urge to develope Nukes and light up the UK

[azure palm]

They only exist in Madagascar anymore

[north spoke]

Good enough

[azure palm]

But the Brits... they controll most of their empire

[north spoke]

Valid

Second worst nation

[azure palm]

So, I either naval invade them or commit as many war crimes as possible before naval invading them

[rich nacelle]

Pls

[north spoke]

Medium tank chassis, three man medium turret, medium howitzer, two hmg turrets, radio, easy maintenance, tortion suspension

I'm not home rn so that's all I can do

[rich nacelle]

Ty

[coarse willow]

are we ready

[north spoke]

Typically close to 100

I don't know for sure

[lunar oracle]

lights are basically useless after 1940

a medium can get great speed, soft attack, hard attack etc

lights are a one trick pony and mediums are a jack of all trades

[drifting relic]

Pls help brothers

How do I put another commander here ????? I tried but it ain't working and I did assign someone according to infa still not shown

[lunar oracle]

I would more focus actually producing enough to go into russia rather than training them to max level and having enough fuel and supply

[drifting relic]

I did click on the promote button yet not working

[lunar oracle]

I don't force deploy tanks, wait for them to be trained through the unit menu

[atomic grove]

assign field marshals

[drifting relic]

How

[atomic grove]

press the left green + button while selecting all of ur armies (up to 5) and assign a guy with good stats

[drifting relic]

Is this how it's done ??

[lunar oracle]

around 12-16 strong tanks enough to pierce and encircle most of their arm

[drifting relic]

Sorry for distributing bro I am new

[atomic grove]

also

[lunar oracle]

level two which is just base

[atomic grove]

please use prt sc

dont make yourself suffer

[drifting relic]

What's this ?

[eternal palm]

36

[atomic grove]

its near ur backspace key i think

[drifting relic]

It's alright 🫡

[eternal palm]

Ohhh disaster save!

Can I have it?

[drifting relic]

I don't have discord on my laptop lol

[atomic grove]

are u playing requiem or 2wrw?

[drifting relic]

That's why using phone

[eternal palm]

Easy?

[coarse willow]

yup

[atomic grove]

get discord on it

[eternal palm]

Bro u can get like 80 of these lol

[lunar oracle]

I usually do 32 combat width is usually subjective to your play style

[coarse willow]

how is this a disaster save 😭

[atomic grove]

wdym

[drifting relic]

Alright

[coarse willow]

oh requiem sorry

[atomic grove]

oh

[eternal palm]

Rush 38 chassis, research conversion, convert in 39, make divs then just put all additional mils on these bad bois

[atomic grove]

i havent played omsk in requiem yet

[eternal palm]

Oh it's tno mb

[atomic grove]

i wonder if its the same as 2wrw or has post nuclear war content

[lunar oracle]

as germany yes I almost never build civs since you're just gonna take everyone elses

[eternal palm]

What?

No I meant the production line

[atomic grove]

but honestly i spent 2 days playing just omsk all the way to 1980 so i wont bother playing omsk in requiem

[eternal palm]

You make a base tank design and then convert to the final one once you got the gun

[coarse willow]

you love to see it

[atomic grove]

i wonder how ur debt to gdp per year rate is going

[worthy widget]

Leaving on instant construction and instant training is funny... It's 1937 and Romania has a bigger fleet than the US, and Japan has around 3k ships.

[lunar oracle]

what dlc do you have

[eternal palm]

Well then just produce the tank asap

[coarse willow]

its been at 0 for a while before the war but now its picking back up 🥲

[atomic grove]

oh no i meant the deficit per year rate

[coarse willow]

ohh

-16%

[atomic grove]

how

[lunar oracle]

if you turn out to really like this game and want dlc get no step back and by blood alone

[atomic grove]

how do u have that despite having that much offensive divisions

[atomic grove]

oh

i thought u meant 16% surplus per year

[coarse willow]

i mean i did add the minus

[eternal palm]

Tank and plane designer

[coarse willow]

i have never been in a positive

[atomic grove]

im a little shocked its not above 20%

[eternal palm]

The most important dlcs to have

[lunar oracle]

nsb is the soviet one that expands tech and the most fun major nations and some micro nations

[last cave]

1937

[coarse willow]

saint petersburg in 5 days and volgograd in a week

we are so up

[eternal palm]

There are many dlcs that expand tech lol

Nsb isn't unique in that regard

I'd say MTG adds the most by far

[lunar oracle]

it's probably the most important tech expansion dlc's

[drifting relic]

I tried to put a higher authority over these 2 commanders and even had everything I did click the promote button yet no display of the guy 🙂

[lunar oracle]

good thinking the more dlc the more complicated the game gets

[drifting relic]

I learned everything this is the only thing which I am not able to do

[lunar oracle]

there's a focus that makes two of your best generals field marshals

no that's just tank divs, you could add motorized if you really wanted but I wouldn't use it to attack

just to rush supply

that'd work, focus heavy on air too

[atomic grove]

u need more cmdp

then dont make a navy yet

just spam subs as germany for now

until you get better at the game

yes

i have done it

twice

hold on

[lunar oracle]

I usually just do fighters and cas and maybe strats if I'm on the path to get nukes

[atomic grove]

usually u get a navy as powerful as them by around 1943-1945

[drifting relic]

Okay so i am loosing my mind now

It asked me command power 40

For my 20 div

I had 40 cp

It showed me promote

I did

Now

No face is shown

Again this is the 2nd time I lost cp

No commander

[atomic grove]

those are generals

u promoted a general to a field marshal

[eternal palm]

There's literally generals there?

[drifting relic]

If I did then why no face is shown

[eternal palm]

Nah not really

[eternal palm]

Cuz u have to assign them?

Click on the field marshal again

Scroll to the top

[atomic grove]

ur not assigning a field marshal

click on the left picture with an empty face

[lunar oracle]

not really, the production cost isn't worth giving up more production for fighters and cas plus they're not that good in general apart from naval bombing

[fickle cove]

as china, i've decided to stick with the mass assault doctrine i start with. should i go down deep battle or mass mobilisation? i'm currently at war with japan rn.

[eternal palm]

Mass mobilisation

Deep battle kinda sucks

[drifting relic]

Did thanks 🙂🫡

[fickle cove]

thx man

[atomic grove]

assign him traits

[fickle cove]

but mass mobilisation has less steps than deep battle

[atomic grove]

get offensive doctrine and then if u can, get the reinforce rate one

[eternal palm]

That's good, what about it?

[eternal palm]

The reinforce rate one aswell as offensive doctrine are kind of bait? 1 slot for 2.5% attack isn't that good?

Unless u need an offense HC

But otherwise I'd save those slots for smth else

[drifting relic]

Yes sir 🫡

[atomic grove]

idk which guy he promoted

[eternal palm]

What about them? Those traits are global, they suck

[atomic grove]

im not sure if those general traits affect field marshals

i forgot

[gaunt thorn]

i wish hoi4 had more tactical gameplay

[atomic grove]

because they give them to all the 5 armies?

[gaunt thorn]

its almost impossible and a waste of time

[eternal palm]

They do, but at halved bonus

So if you'd assign inf expert to fm its 5% instead of 10%

Still good though

[atomic grove]

damn

i thought the stats were halved instead of the traits' effects

[eternal palm]

It literally isn't? Ger can build a navy

You just can't do anything else

[eternal palm]

So what? They're still bad

[atomic grove]

its probably little, but its still something to spend your cmdp especially somewhere in like 1938 or smth

[lunar oracle]

I usually don't but if you wanna shit on the british navy go ahead

[eternal palm]

You mean the general stats, when used at general?

That's not changed, they apply in full

[atomic grove]

no, field marshals

i just believed that the stats (attack, defense, planning, etc.) would be halved instead of the traits

[eternal palm]

Bro you're wasting slots you could be using on more important stuff

And don't waste ur cp like that lol?

[atomic grove]

i just get the traits usually if i dont have something to spend it on or i have a lot of cmdp

[eternal palm]

That's so dumb what

Don't u grind?

Or get traits during war?

[atomic grove]

yes i do

[eternal palm]

Just wait until you get better traits?

[atomic grove]

and i do that

[eternal palm]

Like what you're saying males no sense

[eternal palm]

Also spend the cp on smth else then?

Like promoting generals?

Not waste slots?

[atomic grove]

if a trait thats available to get isnt quite good enough, i wait to be able to get a better one

[obtuse yew]

how am i supposed to fight against this 😭

[eternal palm]

Ok that's fine, you said smth else before

[atomic grove]

the thing is, i get traits usually when i dont have something to spend it on or im at max

[eternal palm]

See that's stupid

Unless it is traits that are actually good

[atomic grove]

thats what i do

[eternal palm]

The clarify that next time pls 🤦‍♂️

I thought we were talking about a situation where you only have access to like offensive doctrine

I thought you'd pick those

[gaunt thorn]

💀

[sweet bone]

i wonder what the 3rd nation is

hey what are cores?

im new

[wide mantle]

territory that was historically yours

[slim nexus]

how do i detect cores and what do i get?

also to get em ineed to anex them right?

[wide mantle]

you need to first occupy the territory u want to core , then reach compliance level 100

then u can core

[slim nexus]

so u can either anex or puppet? or only anex?

Also, what do i get if i get the core?

and how do i detect where cores are

[brave steeple]

kidding me

[hollow narwhal]

WHAT
i thought they only accepted if they werent guaranteed by anyone

i guess its if you border them

[lilac mango]

ah yes

my puppet left my alliance

[hollow narwhal]

lol happens sometimes idk why

[lilac mango]

im wondering what will happen if i decalre war to mexx

[hollow narwhal]

ive had it happen in vanilla once iirc 💀

i once even had my puppet declare war on me .. somehow

[bright arrow]

What are you talking about?

You either have cores, claims or occupied land

Just click in the province and it will tell you if you have a core or not

And cores are territories that identify with your country

100% compliance will still be occupied land, if anything you get an event where the country asks to become a Collab at 80%

[paper echo]

you need to do a focus to enable these

[paper echo]

some focus trees have focuses or decisions that give you cores

you cant core otherwise

even if you reach 100 compliance like the other person told you before

and when you core you basically get all the factories and resources the state has and you wont need to garrison unlike occupied

[bright arrow]

Cores are basically where your people live. Claims are just occupied land in denial

[hollow narwhal]

is there a set date when italy joins the axis every game or is it random

cuz..

[paper echo]

they will join soon

they join around the time molotov ribbentrop happens i think

[bright arrow]

They join before Poland gets invaded in Historical

[hollow narwhal]

well thats too bad lol
i havent made op mountaineers yet so
ill just hand it over

[bright arrow]

Poland gets invaded in September

[hollow narwhal]

as i unpause:

thats kinda hilarious

[paper echo]

yeah just give danzig and focus on ussr which will invade you later and then after you take out ussr take out germany

[hollow narwhal]

i just hope france guarantees me so i can get estonia lmao

💀 yeah i messed up but its not that bad

[bright arrow]

Are you fascist?

[paper echo]

ussr will annex it through a decision

[hollow narwhal]

anastasia

[paper echo]

rn just prepare for war against ussr if you give danzig

[bright arrow]

I know democracies can't guarantee fascist countries, Anastasia is non aligned so you should be fine

Russia takes until late 1940-1941 to invade usually

[paper echo]

yeah

either they justify or do demand eastern poland focus

i dont remember

[hollow narwhal]

not if i invade first !

i mean i might still not decidede

maybe after i finish making forts, land aa, and radar

[paper echo]

on my game all i did was fallback to a river i think and they couldnt push

[bright arrow]

Honestly, i would force Italy into early war by denying Dalmatia so you can take out Albania, Zara and establish a good defense in the Alps

[paper echo]

but it was like a year ago so things might have changed

[hollow narwhal]

im makign these indestructible heavy fighters lmao

yeah each one is 80 cost but .. each one destroys like 100 planes

[bright arrow]

Looks expensive af

[hollow narwhal]

lmao

[nova rune]

i couldnt afford hoi4

[hollow narwhal]

especially with their early game air force

[urban ivy]

u can just give it up

and reclaim later

[hollow narwhal]

yeah ik im gonna take the axis after annexing the ussr

[bright arrow]

No point, Italy will join the axis

[grizzled yarrow]

Okkkkk now how do i defeat the allies

[paper echo]

annex eng
annex usa

[grizzled yarrow]

I dont think i have any navy general alive

[paper echo]

in commands

[grizzled yarrow]

And uh idk any good ship template

[grizzled yarrow]

🪦🥀

[bright arrow]

Its 1945 you won

[hollow narwhal]

wtf!! lmao germany annexed the netherlands and luxembourg
they straight up never joined the allies

[paper echo]

fighting late war allies is super annoying

[hollow narwhal]

thats crazy

[bright arrow]

Nothing bad will happen in the next 60 years

[paper echo]

they have like 600 ships and 40k planes

[grizzled yarrow]

The outcome of my previous match

The allies liberated france 3 TIMES

[paper echo]

and 500 faction members

[bright arrow]

Wait for Japan to die, half of them leave at the treaty of Brussels

[paper echo]

france just doesnt have enough

[grizzled yarrow]

They do?

[paper echo]

the balkan nations do

[paper echo]

thats for sure

[bright arrow]

Also South and Central America

[grizzled yarrow]

Well most of the balkans are my puppets so

[bright arrow]

And China if they join the allies

[paper echo]

i hope new dlc adds postwar chinese stuff

[bright arrow]

Ive also seen the benelux and Scandinavia leave

I think its half random for some nations

[paper echo]

i think the balkans leave 100%

[bright arrow]

But for my CCP game the treaty of Brussels was top tier cuz the Nationalists had joined the allies, but then left

[grizzled yarrow]

This is beautiful

[bright arrow]

Germany also tends to leave i believe after they unify into west Germany

Not having to go after the South American majors is also great

[grizzled yarrow]

The greatest enemy will be the us

For uk i might be able to spam a crap ton of ships and js keep sending more till they fall

[bright arrow]

Do your focuses to go after japan, get a ton of war score and give it to the Communists so they can act as a strong ally against the Nationalists

[grizzled yarrow]

Does the scandinavian focus thing actually do anything relevant

It js consumes pp

( i have 2k but still)

[bright arrow]

Idk, honestly never done it

[grizzled yarrow]

Wait

[bright arrow]

Usually i end up fighting Sweden anyways

[grizzled yarrow]

If i do the balkan submission focus or whatever its called i got a chance to i integrate yugoslavia into the comintern

[hollow narwhal]

'Tis time

[grizzled yarrow]

Thats if they leave the allies

[grizzled yarrow]

No way bros playing poland

[odd aurora]

hey im new to this game ive tried to do the tutorial but im having trouble understanding thing can someone coach me pls

[bright arrow]

He is playing as the bear nation formally known as Poland

[grizzled yarrow]

#ask-for-help-here

[bright arrow]

The first game where you understand nothing are the most fun. Just learn the basics from youtube videos

Like what is a focus tree, how to establish a frontline

How to produce equipment

[odd aurora]

yeah i tried over there nobodys answering@grizzled yarrow

[grizzled yarrow]

ae

Well what u need help with

[grizzled yarrow]

Bro poland's 15 year plan is lowk kinda op

[odd aurora]

im trynna nvade etihopia but wich managing the frontline the attack idk my brain isnt working haha

[grizzled yarrow]

Divide ur army in 2
Do 2 frontlines 2 battle plans send ur planes and js watch

[bright arrow]

Do you know how to make a frontline? Just make it, put the attack arrow and click go

[grizzled yarrow]

Ans try to cap em as fast as possible

Or they join the allies

[bright arrow]

Let them join the allies

As a newbie your problem shouldn't be that

[odd aurora]

idk haha i dont even know what im doing there is so many line

[grizzled yarrow]

I mean u will have to deal with em in ethiopia

[bright arrow]

Wether they are dead dead, or dead in the allies is of little consequence

[grizzled yarrow]

Its prob best to make sure theyr dead quick and puppet them

So u dont have to deal with the uk in there

[hollow narwhal]

vive l' .. encirclementation !

[bright arrow]

Bro, he just started the game we can't ask him to do better than the Ai

[grizzled yarrow]

Ik ik

[grizzled yarrow]

[hollow narwhal]

yeah but

[grizzled yarrow]

guys

i always play in historical mode but ive got so many mods active that this keeps happening

IT ALWAYS ENDS IN AN AXIS VICTORY

not always but yeah

[grizzled yarrow]

Bleh

[grizzled yarrow]

The what

[oak mantle]

Whats the best cw for org wall?

2 right

[simple citrus]

this tbh

[neat kayak]

🙂

[sudden thistle]

matters

[fading elk]

So I’m playing on historical and took over basically everyone who wasn’t the axis as Germany and all that was left of majors was Japan

And Japan went and declared war on me a moth after ww2 ended

[random delta]

its 1943 in my monarchist germoney run and i just got nukes

[simple citrus]

reminded me of how i annihilated italy with thermonuclear bombs in 1948 as qing china (aka manchuria)

[brazen grove]

hey where can i find meta spreadsheets?

[fading elk]

Ima prob need to do this to Japan in my game ngl

[neat kayak]

Another one checked full cores

and even Kurdistan

[random delta]

ok but the thing is i got nukes 10 rounds ahead of their canonical invention

[bright arrow]

Lybian desert belonging to the wrong country should be trademarked by hoi4

[craggy trail]

You would need to check if the trophy is lit up on the top right (Ironman Mode)

[bright arrow]

You can also check at the start of the game when you select ironman if it will give you achievements

[neat kayak]

Idk why i didn't get it

[bright arrow]

Its a bug that the devs haven't fixed since the dawn of time

[neat kayak]

ofc it has to be a bug

still

i had a blast playing this campaign

[bright arrow]

It happens everytime

[neat kayak]

the UK sucks as always

[sudden grotto]

The Is the strongest Alliance in vanilla tho

[random delta]

what are you talking about the central powers is way better then , cant even compare

[elfin bobcat]

is this good?

[glad forum]

no you need horse and light tanks

[elfin bobcat]

why

[glad forum]

makes it faster

[elfin bobcat]

alr

where do i add them

[glad forum]

last one

either light tanks or horses

they do it better than trucks

and fill up the whole bar

[elfin bobcat]

cavarly didnt change it

[glad forum]

trust me it will in the game

[elfin bobcat]

okay

[glad forum]

you need to play to experience it ! 😄

glhf

if you need more help feel free to ping me

[elfin bobcat]

i have no horses

so

ill use light tank

[faint yew]

No you should not do that

Use Mot/Mech

Don't use light tanks

[glad forum]

cosmic dont listen to him

he doesnt know the meta

[faint yew]

Also tanks should be 36 combat width

[elfin bobcat]

i have more moots with fura

so

[faint yew]

The blind leading the blind

"moots"

We are so lost

[glad forum]

your doing good

[faint yew]

*you're

[glad forum]

inshallah

[elfin bobcat]

how do i take a screenshot

[faint yew]

FN+P

[elfin bobcat]

ah

[glad forum]

windows + shift + s

[elfin bobcat]

it keeps minimising when i do that

i went into settings and i couldnt fix it

[faint yew]

Don't listen to Fura

[spring perch]

windows+PrtSc

[faint yew]

FN+P

[glad forum]

oh then try what bice said

it works for me

[elfin bobcat]

fn+p opens navy lmfao

what apap said kinda worked

[faint yew]

You have to press them at the same time brother

[elfin bobcat]

i am

:(

[slim nexus]

hey can some1 help me

i cant see enemies

they invissible

[faint yew]

Peru

[elfin bobcat]

is this tuff gang

im a new ahh player

i save-abused tho

[spring perch]

right bottom corner

[elfin bobcat]

and lowkey got germany into my faction with a bluff

we dont talk abt that tho

[spring perch]

true

[slim nexus]

thx

oh and also

what's the difference between heavy and light tanks idk which one to research

[faint yew]

Medium

[sudden thistle]

Bro 😭

[slim nexus]

im new 😭

[sudden thistle]

It’s self explanatory

[slim nexus]

well idk

[sudden thistle]

Light tanks are fast , weak, cheap

Heavies slow, strong af, expensive

Mediums are in the middle

[elfin bobcat]

heavy tanks r soooo good for defense

js sit them there

[oak mantle]

Org walls are so funny in mp

[elfin bobcat]

its so silly

[oak mantle]

Especially as china

[elfin bobcat]

like no france, no peimonte for you

[oak mantle]

Its practiclaly impossible for japan to push

[slim nexus]

so light tanks for invading extensive pieces of land, heavy tanks for smaller portions of land?

and more or less cheaper

[sudden thistle]

Because they can’t pierce you

[slim nexus]

?

[sudden thistle]

No

[faint yew]

Why is this guy ignoring medium tanks?

[oak mantle]

6 width inf

[sudden thistle]

Light tanks suck ass in this game

[oak mantle]

Mech????

[spring perch]

do meds or heavys

[sudden thistle]

If it’s single player just use mediums

[oak mantle]

Mech would do a similar job to heavy tanks for cheaper

[slim nexus]

ok

[faint yew]

This guy needs a pickaxe

holy cow

[spring perch]

meds better for sp with howitzers

[oak mantle]

Meds are only good for soft attack tanks or cheap tanks

[faint yew]

No

you are just wrong

[oak mantle]

Ok explain

[faint yew]

Explain what lol?

[oak mantle]

What are the other uses of medium tanks

[sudden thistle]

Do NOT make them the spg role

[oak mantle]

SPGs simply suck

[spring perch]

true

[faint yew]

What are the uses of tanks in general?

[spring perch]

just leave them as normal tanks

[oak mantle]

Divide it by 3 then multiply by 2 for an accurate representation of soft attack compared to tanks

[coarse willow]

2 months progress 😭

[faint yew]

Pushing units

[oak mantle]

Maximize attack per combat width

[faint yew]

Medium tanks have the best stat to terrain penalty ratio in the game

[oak mantle]

https://tenor.com/view/tanks-tanki-tankionline-revenge-karma-gif-13447604

Flame tanks

[faint yew]

Light tanks should only be used for recon or if you're having fun

If you are playing MP and building mediums you can fight against heavies simply by adding one or two TDs into the template

[oak mantle]

I prefer heavies

Im an advocate for quality over quantity as its king in hoi4

If you can maximize stats per combat width youll dominate the game

[faint yew]

More mediums will beat less heavies

If you're playing the game with base stats lvl 1 AT with partialy pierce you anyway lol

lvl 2 will pierce you 100%

[sudden thistle]

3 million Chinese people without guns can beat a heavy tank div

[faint yew]

That's also true

[coarse willow]

germany has 10 divisions 😭

[faint yew]

Mass mob with AT and AA support can beat anything

[sudden thistle]

3 million Chinese people without guns can also beat a medium tank div

[oak mantle]

❤️‍🩹

[sudden thistle]

A div, vs hundreds of Chinese civs

[oak mantle]

Then hundreds more on the tile back

[oak mantle]

With the right country yes

[faint yew]

I bet you use 25 combat width

[oak mantle]

I dont

Why would anyone use 25 cw

[faint yew]

You seem like the type

[oak mantle]

I dont think theyre a thing

A type of person who uses 25 width

Because it makes no sense

[faint yew]

yeah okay

[coarse willow]

SINCE WHEN WAS THIS PART OF THE MOD

I HAVE NO DIVISIONS HERE

[split bane]

Rip, time for the world to end

[coarse willow]

i had divisons on the japanese border because i had some decisions relating to them

but i took them off because i never thought theyd acc fight

im not even close to the part of my focus tree where i use my nukes

[prisma zealot]

this is where hoi4 gets fun

when you play as napoleonic france

[bright arrow]

https://tenor.com/view/evangelion-lights-gif-8635402

[sonic sand]

https://tenor.com/view/hoi4-micromanage-gif-20717885

[coarse willow]

bro who wrote this mod

germany is surrendering and willing to accept all our terms

and the only option is to deny it and keep fighting

[gaunt thorn]

bro why cant i get naval supremacy in the channel

i usually always can]

stuck at 40%

43%

[fading elk]

So we won ww2 sadly Japan got angry I took half of China so I am now nuking them

[coarse willow]

ggs

[fading elk]

Fighting in China is such a pain cuz no supply

[undone vale]

what is ts save bru 😭

[fading elk]

Also how much % do heavy water reactors give u per day

I’m currently trying to bomb Japan into the Stone Age

I wanna aim for 10 bombs per year at least

As I currently have 30-40 heavy waters building

[shy bloom]

Fascism is taking over 😭

[neat kayak]

What should i play?

and achv run or not?

[slim nexus]

hey can someone help me naval invade idk how

@neat kayak

[neat kayak]

yo

sup

[sonic sand]

ost Deutschland

[slim nexus]

oi

[opal nymph]

It's bleak

[winged garden]

Hey - I have just got this game after watning it for awhile but loaded it up and very overwhelmed 😆 Anyone know a good place to start to learn?

[neat kayak]

combat- Germany
everything else- Canada

[random delta]

play italy or something

[coarse willow]

historial italy

[sonic sand]

Deutschland ost

[sonic sand]

Hi mapeled

[coarse willow]

weak enough to teach you about building up but strong enough to let you play around with tanks, planes, and navy

[coarse willow]

hello

[sonic sand]

You watching the jays game tonight?

[coarse willow]

a bit but i was caught up with work 😭

u from canada?

[sonic sand]

My family is mostly living in Canada

[coarse willow]

ohh

where do u live now

[sonic sand]

I travel for studying and work

[coarse willow]

ohh cool

[peak walrus]

yo anyone wanna hop in a regular game? Lowk want a group to play as axis

[warped flint]

Thats the point

who juist dont care

you want to kill all germans

Total revenge

[coarse willow]

true

germany even gets a new focus tree based around my invasion

it’s really well made but the war is oddly easy esp compared to my novosibirsk run

[warped flint]

Yeah, in this path you can core way more

and also draft 5 year olds

[coarse willow]

true

[neat kayak]

Paradox wanna explain?

[coarse willow]

and deport finnish people

[neat kayak]

It got bugged

spain is locked in Spanish morroco

and i can't land

cuz all their troops got there

[warped flint]

What do I do as Poland to not die to germany

[true needle]

as italy, would it be better to make AA battleships or heavy cruisers with a mix of heavy attack and light attack?

[true needle]

congratulations!

as you can see I too have an extensive achievement list

[lapis grove]

https://tenor.com/view/omniman-gif-26206182

[warped flint]

Lowkey I should start doing achievements

I have this many

I don't really start a game just to get one

i jsut get them slowly

[true needle]

I have been playing modded HOI4 for like 650hrs out of the 700 hours I have so I naturally have very few unlocked

but im also not that good

[warped flint]

Yeah pretty much all I play now is modde

which is mostly TNO

[true needle]

so im rarely in a position to unlock them anyways

I mean, I have yet to beat france as germany, cant get through the benelux because the allies dump 600 divisions into it and my tanks get stuck on their corpses

[warped flint]

Im so close.....

[warped flint]

Wow

[warped flint]

Do you have air?

that is probably whats stopping you

[true needle]

dunno, I havent played germany since before NSB

and then I stopped playing vanilla after that and started playing EaW

and now im playing vanilla again

[thin coyote]

polska od morza do morza🇵🇱 🌊

[true needle]

honestly now that I think about it I cant remember anything ive actually done in hoi4

like, nothing notable

ive got 700+ hours and literally nothing to show for it

[lethal ether]

the notable part is that you did nothing notable

[true needle]

exactly

ive been trying to play italy

unsuccessfully...

[bright arrow]

What is a notable thing to do in hoi4?

Its a game, you are just supposed to have fun

[true needle]

idk, "look at my world conquest" or "I conquered russia as poland" or "I beat america as japan" or "I united the world under the imperial federation" or "I revived the kaiserreich and beat britain" or "I reformed byzantium", etc, etc

whats the point of dumping 700 hours into chess if you havent won a single game?

like playing helldivers 2 but you only do diff 1 missions

[bright arrow]

Wym, you never won a war?

[true needle]

most of the time I play until like 1938 or 1939, get scared because I have to fight the allies/axis and then start a new game

[true needle]

ive won wars, just not notable ones

[warped flint]

When does the Soviet civil war typically start with the ai?

[bright arrow]

Can i recommend something fun? Let the ai play a game for itself, while using observer, then when you see the soviets in a dire state switch to them and do an AI disaster save

I love doing Soviet disaster saves

And since its usually late game stuff when you finally win you can claim a nice satisfaction

[uncut canyon]

Hey

Noob + Game we need a COOP for Germany

We also have more spots available

we now have 7 people

[coarse willow]

depends

historical?

[warped flint]

non historical

[uncut canyon]

Historical + some changes

[warped flint]

im playing as poland and I wanna see if they have their civil war so I can take estonia

there a soviet puppet

[uncut canyon]

but still fasc germany

Democratic us

[coarse willow]

oh then ur free roam

[uncut canyon]

and commie sov

[coarse willow]

if ur not confident then either build up around krakow or warsaw

[bright arrow]

If you do Anastasia poland you can core all Slavic lands and get a bear into the throne

[remote quarry]

both are completely useless

[uncut canyon]

we would love people who want to have fun dm me and i can send discord

lobby code is here

3 veterans rest are noobs

[remote quarry]

if you make capital ships, build battleship 2 with armor 3 and a mix of heavy and light attack

[uncut canyon]

90276024083755013

Discord is needed

[warped flint]

im scared

I was just worried that the soviest won't have a civil war, and this happend right as I said that

[uneven basin]

how does house of kurds achivement work?

[umbral agate]

how does mexico have more casualties than czech

[heavy vigil]

hoi IV

[crimson knot]

WHAT is that frontline

[true needle]

how would I kill enemy fighters then?

if I dont have carriers that is

and carrier fighters only attack other carrier planes

[warped flint]

The soviets capped

what states do I core

?

[dusky burrow]

Have you checked if Mexico is at war with anyone on the North American continent or not

[dusky burrow]

Yep that was simple

[warped flint]

Do you know what states I can get cores on?

[dusky burrow]

Take everything

I assume you're on the Anastasian path

[true needle]

no idea, if you've gone romanov you should be able to core all the important states, nevertheless i'd annex everything save for the far east stuff and just puppet them

[crimson knot]

holy breaktrough

[dusky burrow]

You have to annex the far east stuff tooo

[true needle]

ah

[remote quarry]

you don't

if you mean carrier naval bombers ai barely use them anyhow

so there's no point in killing them

[true needle]

I mean land based planes

[remote quarry]

you kill them with your land based plane

[true needle]

and if they are out of range of my planes or I dont react fast enough?

[warped flint]

should I invade the ssr

my only concern is it would take a while

[remote quarry]

then you don't kill them

I mean fighters don't attack your ships afterall

[neat kayak]

New record for carlist spain

[lofty parcel]

guys i have a question, if i'm germany, i signed the pack with soviet to divid poland, and soviet attack poland first, would it give me western poland after it concurs it?

[neat kayak]

yes

[lofty parcel]

ok thx

[umbral agate]

its just the axis

[true needle]

naval bombers do

[remote quarry]

yes and ai never use them

in any significant way

so you don't need aa on your ships

[true needle]

and naval bombers have their targetting weighted towards the ships with the most HP and armour, battleships have a ton of HP and armour

[left shard]

anyone wants to play 2v2 commanders dm me I need 2 people

[true needle]

I need some kind of capital to make so I can screen my carriers though and provide heavy attack

[molten moat]

me

[true needle]

so either I go cheap with heavy cruisers (no armor for maximum speed so other heavies cant hit them) or I go battleships with maximum armor to swat planes

[remote quarry]

you don't

[remote quarry]

you build battleships with max armor, but it has nothing to do with planes

100 torp 1 naval bombers is not going to do anything

[true needle]

1 carrier needs at least 1 capital to screen it properly

[warped flint]

I think im cooked

I shouldn't have started the war ngl

[remote quarry]

and?

[true needle]

wdym and? I need to make capitals to screen my carriers

[brittle cypress]

how are you cooked what

[true needle]

id rather not have my carriers be sunk

[brittle cypress]

oh are you lying

[remote quarry]

and I told you to build battleships with max armor...?

really, just stop thinking about all those screening math, it's completely irrelevant
build good ships and you win

[warped flint]

I feel like it looks like im doing good but I d on't think i am

[remote quarry]

if you start out with no navy just build light cruisers

it's a waste of ic into anything else

[warped flint]

This is whats most annoying

[brittle cypress]

owns all of the soviet union
somehow losing to pre ww2 germany

[true needle]

the entire current meta revolves around annihilating enemy screens so the capitals die

obviously paying attention to screening is important

[brittle cypress]

didn't you just say you haven't killed france as germany

[true needle]

shush

[remote quarry]

no

[true needle]

I have spent a total of like 50 hours playing vanilla

[remote quarry]

im talking about the ratio

[warped flint]

You just said I was doing good?

[remote quarry]

it's irrelevant

[brittle cypress]

well that's what you're saying

[remote quarry]

but this is correct, just build light cruisers

[warped flint]

Also doesn't help thes guys joined the germans RIGHT, before I attacked and I didn

t notice

Yeah this is bullshit

[verbal raptor]

redux so peak

[warped flint]

they have like 50 divisions in east prussia

[left shard]

why do you have so little

division?

[warped flint]

Garrisons are destroying my equipment

I can't make many

[left shard]

whats ur garrison template

[remote quarry]

micro a bit and kil the encirclements first

[remote quarry]

ah remove the mp

[left shard]

thats good

[remote quarry]

why do you have it

[molten moat]

bro invite people and not chit chat

[remote quarry]

it's wasting support equipment

[true needle]

ok now you're trolling

[warped flint]

I am trying

[remote quarry]

shut up

[left shard]

I cant text in the main chats again cause cooldown

[left shard]

you are

[remote quarry]

send more divs here

[left shard]

any of you want to play 2v2 commanders?

[warped flint]

Still not dieing

[true needle]

add a ton more cavalry, the thing with MP is that the support equipment used is a flat amount, the more cavalry you have in your garrison division the less divisions your garrisons need, therefore less support equipment for the same bonus

the only cost is the army XP needed to make the division

[warped flint]

Yeah im dead

[frozen isle]

my template

[remote quarry]

stop, get planning, then push

ok

[left shard]

WTF

[remote quarry]

you overextended

[left shard]

wya too expansive

pls tell thats not all of your divisions

[remote quarry]

maybe it's gg

[true needle]

is this your basic infantry division or is this an attacking division?

[left shard]

@warped flint

[remote quarry]

idk next time before you push just kill all the encirclements first

[frozen isle]

attacking

[warped flint]

???

[frozen isle]

and this one?

[brittle cypress]

amazing

[warped flint]

I haven'[t even showed my infantry

[true needle]

perfection

change nothing

[left shard]

was that your template u used for all divisions

[remote quarry]

combat width 0 is peak

[warped flint]

This is my inf

I never used that

[left shard]

thatsgood

[remote quarry]

also engineers are useless

[warped flint]

that was someone else

[remote quarry]

put more on guns

instead of making support

[left shard]

ur crazy

dont listen to him

[remote quarry]

lol

[left shard]

they are crucial for defending as they add entrechment and add a bunch of buffs

[warped flint]

im restarting

[frozen isle]

the landcruiser design btw

[remote quarry]

engineer costs like 1/5 of this division

[left shard]

W

[remote quarry]

better have 20% more division than a useless support company

[true needle]

i'd say im here

[remote quarry]

ah why do you have 2.4k artillery in stockpile

bruh

try balance your line somewhat

[warped flint]

im barely making any

[remote quarry]

the ratio is like 1 on artillery, 2 on anti air, 8 on guns(roughly)

[left shard]

ches wanna play commanders?

2v2

[remote quarry]

2.4k means you had like 5 on it for the whole game

[warped flint]

No

I had 2

[remote quarry]

oh did you take baltics

[true needle]

or he captured a ton from someone

[remote quarry]

anyway use the artillery add one line artillery to your inf

and fallback

and pray

[warped flint]

I thought line arty was shitty tho

[remote quarry]

having equipment in stockpile you are not using is the worst thing you can do

[slim nexus]

do i need dlc for transport planes?

[true needle]

kinda is but it adds breakthrough to infantry which infantry has basically none of

[remote quarry]

like 3 levels below line artillery

[true needle]

for just about any other stat just replacing the line artillery with infantry is better but for breakthrough specifically you need that artillery

[warped flint]

I managed to retreat without getting encircled

[glacial oasis]

i can see why people don't like imperator rome
i got a civil war and the revolt controlled 2/3 of my land and army

[remote quarry]

wait you own all of russia?

[warped flint]

Yes

[glacial oasis]

and i got game ended

[remote quarry]

oh then actually fix your mp template

[warped flint]

thats why I am confused why I am getting my ass kicked

[remote quarry]

pick proper heritage

make a division full of calvary + MP

how about putting 140
