wait a second
what
I want to cook Yugoslavia
my older sibling is 43
55-13=42
67-21= 41
HOI4 is considered a horror game due to one jumpscare
Some days ago there was this guy saying that in the first 72hrs he menage to make mare nostrum twice.
People are just started to lie smh đ
Naval_ivasion.MP4
when your naval invasion turns into a slaughter of your troops who got encircled
your parents had a kid 42 YEARS AFTER having you
Idek what that is
Yes
My dad is 50, my mom is turning 18 next year
okay okay
So what you did in 21 hours
I was jokin
huh?
ehhh we'll make enough flags for the mothers its fine
it was kinda obviously satire tho
yeah my dad is 51 my mom is 51 i am 15
What you did in 29 hts
Yeah sure..
dawg i just got done with college for today don't do this
i dont want to do math
51-15 = 36
bait used to be believable
hitler
Damn
is this non hist
hist
poland either collapse easily or solo
rate the offensive
im pretty sure the date was 1948
no reason to attack africa
who are you?
stupid
it has nothing tbh
it does have the Suez
look at theline dud
but thats it
and its only important as Italy
?
lord have mercy
france had NO reason to lose bro
small detour
Your troops have to traverse the sahara desert
uk
The Empire then
thats who I thought
rise of nations so nostalgic
real
12 year old me used to fw that heavily
never played as I had abandonned Roblox by then
SAME BRO
I made it myself btw
now i look at rise of nations it looks so basic
my last day on Roblox was in November 2016
real
i was so good i formed the british and mongol empires
its kinda sad
my first day was 2017
only?
Peak Roblox was 2006-2012
I was lucky to play from 2009-2012
I still have pictures of all my formables
I replayed it to check out how it is
Just a bunch of tank spam
patria grande is so tuff
carthage is a cool one too
hardest formable is NAU
Just a bunch of stuff
nice
What button were you pressing. Lmao.
100 men vs death of brat tito
HOW DO U CONTROL IT IT NEVER LETS ME
@cobalt imp
even democracy cant handle it
I see
these things is op
Might have issues dealing with destroyers but yeah definitely can work
I beat the japanese navy as china using only the starting tech that doesnt mean torp 1 is OP
It just means you deathstacked + picked traits + levelled admiral better than AI
maybe
but this is cheep AI
its way harder
am not saying yeah i did a great job
but i dont know if the AI also focus on the navy
Its fine you won
They used to
And then sheep decided that them wasting IC on 100 dockyards is indeed a waste
for me 100 Docks is good
less than this is bad
as USA i always used to refit all the old ships
all of them
look at this
the Hell of the eastern front
When you are winning thei air war but they stille manged to push
how do you have less units than you started with
I ususally reinforce them to 9 divisia, sup art and anti air
don't waste any xp on template
just use the starting 6 inf, add a support atillery
save all your xp for army reform
finishing the last one at 200
also, better to do subjugate warlords so you can annex them by war
hopefully you didn't go down any doctrine
I am thinking to go to superior fire power only becuase of the soft attack it gives
Its actually good for china
how do I control nationalist spain
can u answer my question pls?
ive been wonderin
also light medium or heavy tanks as germany
How do I improve my blisters?
WAIT
What
HOW DO YOU HAVE RIVERS
?
medium tank/spg with howitzer
huh
OH
how do I control nationalist spain to fight spain
for free exp
and misc
you send volunteers to nationalist spain
then u gain control of it for the war or?
im confused
Who are you playing as?
basically your division are sent to the war
fighting on the side of nationalist spain
germany
Settings
If you are sending division you will control them in Spain
Which? I dont really look through here much
got the answer
Is it worth building railway lines here?
yes bro your units are less supplied than the jews in ww2
or are they
actually less supplied than current palestinians
How do you know when you are river crossing lmao?
I dont
I'm arriving in Paris before the Germans.
is ts u
hummmmmm
Guys, should I send my navy to the English Channel and try to invade the United Kingdom?
why did my gbp theorist randomly dissapear
Yes do it
What year?
44
Yetus deletus
Time to go for Plan Z
wth is going on with my hoi4
Is it even possible to cross the channel atp
Hitler
its ur pc screen
If you get naval or air superiority yes
build good planes
If no, then just turn on the soviets
and kill them???
it doesnt happen anymore
because the AI is bad
how do I make volunteer forces
Right click a country at war
Near the bottom click âsend volunteersâ
U have a limited amount of divs to send
Click the army group you want to send
U can send air volunteers as well
But limited too
Okay, so what mission should I put my 220 ships on?
Can someone help me plan a naval invasion of the United Kingdom?
should I go befriend china or japan
ive never went china
just wonderin
UK has over 7000 pieces of paper u mean
IS there a UN formable mod?
A good fighter design will shred the AI
Hey nolee
what
Do you think I should try to launch a naval invasion of the United Kingdom?
just invade London and you'll be good
with 70 div ofc
dumahhs don't know context
Should I invade Romania?
easy
No nsfw. #server-rules
wait thats considered light NSFW or something?
its directly referencing it
Can you use sexual language?
mb
If you have to ask, assume not
Rome Total War Jumpscare
ima run germany back so what are the best ships to start building?
Light cruisers and meat shield destroyers
Greater Italy or Roman Empire
any capitals?
I wanted to make Iberia a puppet show.
Carriers
greater italy is underrated asfg
plzzz tell me
roman is fun but it gets to a point imo
alright ty
Then garbage destroyers
Why
is easy maintenance good?
cuz you have to waste research on it
but it gives cheaper tanks
Yeah itâs pretty good
If you have what is it like 240 days of research time yeah
gng what we saying irl world tension is
1 no politics
And 2 less than 25%
Also world tension is a stupid mechanic
Whatâs the world tension when Czechs got annexed
Were there
Actually wait no
I lied
China Japan war was a thing
ok maybe weâre not that high up world tension
Probably that
For once in my life of playing HOI4 the Soviets weren't stupid (story:I was playing comunist România, builded forts along the mountains and godforbid but the Soviets were smart enough to put troops at the Soviet-Hungarian border)
I would put a comment but no modern politics (post 1945)
U guys think Iâll be able to take on the axis
Why did you puppet china and not annex them after puppeting or just annex them at all
I just prefer to puppet big ppl I conquer helps alot with borders
Tho I did realise later it did lock me out of a focus
But itâs fine I can just trade really good for what I donât have
I mean you should puppet FER
It gives you eastern siberian army for larp
I kinda thought Iâd do what irl Japan would do if taken over half the ussr and China
No need to bother with garrisons if u let ur puppet do that
Iâm wondering how hard going thru the east will be
I gave the uk mil access cus why not
This feels like some alt timeline where Japan joined the allies
But took over all of Asia
Taking the south and u should be fine
i cant believe i let this game sit in my library for 4 years before i got into it
We all have that one game
Should I deploy all my ships to support a naval invasion?
please screenshot using win+shift+s
it's a smaller inconvenience yes, but using phone to take photo of screens, let alone curved ones, isn't the best way for us to help, plus it's harder to see incase you miss anything
Ok
Avoid the Channel, the British AI will make sure you can't do anything there
Should I send all my planes to attack the United Kingdom as well?
yes, also don't use subs
Moneyshot
Are you sure? I've already planned a naval invasion.
especially in the EC, it has a debuff that weakens them to be more useless than convoys alone
It'll be very difficult for you to launch as Germany through the Channel as your navy isn't as big
i might actually pray to a god if it means my mod works
bc wtf is wrong with it? there's nthn that should be wrong
lemme take a look for ya
i got a relatively passing grade in a computer science class back in middle school
might be able to work it out for ya
Hoi4 is basically win or alt-f4
Well, I usually add up super heavy tanks.
I only make tanks
why is vichy france getting all my land
They occupied their land.
but the stuff i occupied goes to vichy for some reason
i had a ship called the uss wahoo and it got sunk
how does oen auto upgrade ships?
bruh why this mf deadass losing to poland
yeahhh naww
shldn't be wth
anyways L germany
yeah
on historical
i haven't interferred in any way with anything in europe
mf
HE LOST RHINELAND TOO
LMFAO
Germans supporting China versus Soviets supporting Japan, who wins
i'm crine bruh how does bot fumble that hard
Nice
aaaaaand germany broke molotov-ribbentrop pact for some reason
Might be something with road to 56?
uh
i kept the original tree focuses for everyone so idk tbf
maybe though
ah i see
switzerland went down their german puppet path but since i wasnt fascist they became the nearest fascist nations puppet đ
hello
yo are screening ships dds?
supporting china as germany is always 10x better
more fun to support before ww2 and they arent a pain in the ass later
đ
what's the temp
đ please donât say it has artillery in it
rate the encirclement (i'm in nudge making states)
I mean as long as it's not MP or sheep's or the like
because then you do really need a competent japan
you just need like 3 battleships to reach max
really?
In any case the light cruiser force is better at actually killing things than at naval supremacy
And conversely a battleship bathtub fleet is better at naval supremacy than killing
the little dog makes armtracs spgs and micros his way to moscow
the lion poops 200 divisions, executes the battleplan and closes his eyes until he hears the clapping from the peace deal
dont even use this against AI its just way too overkill honestly
The Andorran AI is really cooking with this one
Something like this can be your tank design
engine?
This isn't bad either
North africa is being took by the allies, im on scarping the barrel and i got 0mp. chat how can i fix this
Add as many engine and armor clicks as you're fine with
You should probably add at least a few armor and engine clicks since the enemy can pierce tanks without armor clicks
ic is super low wow
I mean I'm supposing singleplayer here
If multiplayer it will look more like this
sheeps is pain
change AT to arty and remove whatever the tank is
manpower
what
most of those stats are so bad đ
ur gonna have bigger industry problems than manpower ngl bro
which
only ones that aren't are defense, hp, and org
everything but def, hp, and org
is massmob template
manpower is really the main problem late game tho
lmao what
yes??
Nah this one is fine but you should replace AT for flame tank since AA gives enough piercing against vanilla AI
this was MP
but yeah
Ay new helper
replace at with flames
Yeah in MP you probably do need the AT
u can click stacked 20width spam with it
well in all fairness you were talking about AI so I Thought singleplayer, and AT is not worth in SP
works in both
ai tanks are made of rusty steel lmao
i wonder if i should use the flames on it against a barb massmob
245 soft attack is great?
yeah especially on barb u get 340 once u get guns 3
for infantry 340 soft attack is godly
ai soviet type divs would be like 15 -1 div, 15 tank bats and 1 truck bat
remember ur gonna push the whole front with it
oh you just have bad guns that's why the stats are bad
well guns 2
guns 3 soft attack will obv be cracked
Can someone explain to me how I managed to guarantee a nation while at war with them
This is best template (not mine)
Yeah it does
Joke btw
35% bonus to naval invasions from pioneers + flame tanks
FINALLY
wouldnt use pioneers on it personally
bro 36 width is strong meta
i find rangers + assault engi to be enough
Why not?
ughhh idk i feel like it would only be a sea lion thing
will I win this đ¤
also ignore the divisions
the river crossings on barb arent that important
I mean yeah it would
If you're not doing naval invasions indeed just stick with assault engineers
atleast not to the point where i would replace that instead of like another support company
stalin line in MP is really really hard to break tho
Yeah, but you can change it whenever you need to naval invade, and then change it back afterwards
i've played against someone that put level 5 forts all over from kiev to latvia, + stronghold networks
it was just impossible to break even with like extraordinary cas
i think maybe if i had von bock on fortress buster it wouldve worked
true if i dont go rangers
Did you build railway guns
nop
maybe it wouldve helped yeah
this + fortress buster
hello guys
That would have helped
and maybe if i put like flame tanks instead of AT
since it was a massmob build
massmob germany is underrated, i honestly don't bother making tanks since armtracs are banned
i havent ever used amtracs for my tanks
Until you reach the fort wall
Massmob germany is ok
Ussr has more manpower
actually maybe like once since i was bored
What happens when 2 mass mob players fight each other
Battleplan harder
armtracs are important for river crossings on barb
dont fight in the river đĽ
paratroop behind the lines (if paratrooping was allowed)
Germany now no longer have manpower đ
germany manpower is kinda infinite
Germany should have air supremacy if massmob
Its not
What about the casualties
i feel like what would make a massmob germany beat a massmob soviet is CAS
Its incredibly finite
infinite to my eyes
No
You dont beat ussr massmob
i deployed like 9 million once before barb
Like you cant
They also do air, allies send them air
You lose
Lower manpower pool
crazy match
on what conscription tho
what if i beat the allies air
cuz
Now ussr has more IC for air
i make like 6k fighters by barb
i feel like it depends on the player
Lmao
what should i do next?
not rly
đ
its fine for barb
Click the formable
6k fighters in 40 is very decent idk what u on
Not for massmob?
i did
Also not rlly for tanks
my ai builds like double that half the time
I guess hold out against the Germans
Youd want a lot more to win air war
ok
12k fighters in 38?
Like 15-20K fighters could win air war
ok bro
in 40
I meant half the time as in half the times I play germany in singleplayer
ill try also to get the achievment then
are ur fighters made of plastic
No
the ic cost of my fighters is like 45
how do u make 25K of those by 41 buddy
Its all mils
ic?
im making big shit
There are only mils
read
Industrial cost/capacity
Wait a minute
Are you making supersonics or just trolling?
I js realized it's 1945 and i'm still using '36 planes đ
i'm winning tho so it doesn't matter
45 ic plane is 100% trolling
đ but even then
6k is nothing
even a 45 ic plane
im just making big shit bro
like translate it to the correct fighter it's around 9k
Meta Player's Fallacy: Those who teach the meta fail to explain how the game or meta works for the player to understand
now I know how ts happened
It shoulf be around this cost
also depends on which nation
did you get 6k
Sorry i dont have german double armor plate saved
đĽ
my memory is horrible so i say "just use it trust me bro"
nothing beats these fighters đź
You using double engines?
How do you get to 45
2x engine III lmao
Ooof
Brooother
Tbf you can get that engine earlier
Like a lot earlier
But axis doesnt
eah that makes your planes more expensive
bad minors
Like 50-70% more expensive I believe
New zealand gets it in 70d and australia in 200
Remember kids, basically everything works in singleplayer
2x e3
do you mean 40 or 41
Both are 2x e3?
if it's 40 its understandable
yay I get my first south american volkskommissarriat
although it's technically european
i do all the tech pretty much
Is this EU5
ck3
yeah
Yeah
Oh
this is why you don't trust AI to do anything
well it depends
Soviet can probably get like 12k
no no
Australia needs to tech medium frame 2
depends on how much you greed into air
this is why you annex minors instead
idk how much i get honestly
nice occupation
Oh yeah, they cant rush 1940 fighters anymore
india
is the best technocracy in the game
51% tech buff
by 38
nah
37
rush guns 3 with this
licence it to everyone
boom
Lmao
worse than burma actually
tell them too
generic tree >> dlc focus tree
also true but who is playing burma
they got fast research but no industry đ
just put 30 mils into guns
2 mil on sup equipment
poop 250 massmob divs
no like
by the time u get atleast a decent industry
update btw
its already 1939-1940
who needs industry as india
decisive byzantine victory
i just make brainless meatwalls
me
The propaganda machine will make sure it is
i need more guns to pump out infantry and mountaineers
AT?
all the time
like if india has the industry for at
i mean i always do it
Germany gets 60% on support companies
its helpful for africa
i can deploy like 4 million men whitout thinking much about it
and thats all
PDX making sure to kneecap every country they rework
but the problem is
d-day
Then fix it with op buffs
how many chinas does there need to be
impressive
almost got to frankfurt
i got all of northern germany
Holy KDR
mp?
bro
is brazil's uk with portugal path better than just unifying all of south america mid/late game
đ
I killed your brazil
but wtf was i supposed to do
while uk was afk
Idk i didnt even think youd have units at home
i just had force deployed divs
You actually killed more of my divs than the rest of the campaign combined i think cuz encircled
But then last stand button
last stand always work when im fighting it
but when I use it they die
with sri lanka
this is the meta
i am honestly so drunk idk if i can play this game lol
i live above a bar so i went downstairs for a bit
is that actually good tho
no
its what you use to click nepalese civil war divisions in 46
ive had pretty good games with these as germany
what am i looking at bro
looking at peak
mkay..
Iraq 1923
pummeled thru france in like 2 weeks not even
my government
4 width cavalry could do that
I was trying to find a template but cant find it
what tanks are those đ
where are your infantry support
Damn
vicky 3 tmeplate be like
light, medium, modern
or what i'm told is one
didnt need any
the division template is pretty bad
worked damn good for me so idk
Based is what they are
fr
isn't the main point of light tanks supposed to be speed
and having slower tanks takes that away
Yes đ
modern tanks are quite fast, like 10kmh fast sometimes
i guess, but they do the job better from my experience
Slow
but mediums aren't that fast
are modern tanks better than advanced mediums?
This is the best example of how the ai is horrendous thank you
Basic tanks are the best
The answer here is probably not however
i havent tried moderns in a very long time
German ai is actually quite good
if i want speed then yeah
You should probably do heavies late game I think
Best designs of any ai, best templates, dispersed which helps ai
Did I give you the permission to speak
guys, if u play lux, should u make tanks after making benelux?
What? No like overall theyâre the best
Sorry...
are u talking about light tanks?
Speed doesnât really matter
modern and medium, not yet 14 but its fast enough for me
Medium basic tanks
oh
yeah you can get like 20+ kmh for armored cars
vroooom
i mean yeah, early game, but like i honestly feel like u should get better tanks past basic in like 1941-1942
Just no
They dont help
You lose efficiency
And waste your production for tanks that have almost exactly the same stats?
For 0 reason
by the time its 1941-1942, u likely would have the industry to put like 50+ mils on tank production
If you do it it is either making a new line for armour meme with heavy 3(so 1 tank battalion out of whole division) or larp
Thats like nothingđ
Stop kneecapping yourself
but thats if u are playing a country that CAN get an industry that strong in those years
And what your talking about is the difference between having 20 tank divisions compared to 70
i meant anything above 50
You can get 100+ in 1939/40 what
Only 50
yeah
Thats crazy
Just on tank alone i mean
Well unless you are larping theres just 0 reason to swap
Tell me what buffs u get
Right now
What buffs do you get
Your total mil count as germany should be 200-300+ atp
I want the numbers
why did finland (my ally) just randomly take st petersburg???
Same for ussr
i know
Pretty sure my Germany has around 250-300 mils by 1941 at least if not more
Yeah
is this enough đ§
i just assume that you will produce planes
On my bloat mod I grt 270 cos I have to build rubber for autarky
and why could I insta take it back
?? How is that related
We are talking about upgrading tank chassis
Whu would you do that
because you have a lot of mils and you need to produce more stuff alongside tanks?
I usually do test builds in hmm
Fair
100 on tanks 100 on air 50 on inf stuff
Or 75 on inf stuff
Its not even that hard to budget
is it fine if I have a 300/300/300 split đ¤
Go 250/275 on tank like a sigma
Your mils are low because no collabs/harsh quotas
Bro go do the 100/100/100 japan build
Germany usually has at least 150 on tanks no?
i am NOT playing japan
In no air gamble yes
at least not before the dlc
Yeah because you dont make inf or much air
In sp you need inf
It looks unfun after elcđ
So im accounting for that
Or do youâŚ.
Japan is one of my favourite nations and I bet its gonna be ruined
You dont but its QoL
japan is unfun in general âď¸
Most likely
I didnt finish this run but i was abiding by versailles @tepid crown
10 infantry divs
how are you dealing with the soviets rip
are you trying to wc with just 10 divs
All in on gun0
Lmao
what mod gives this
100K manpower deployed max
No military airplanes
No tanks
Dlc?
yeah thats what i meant
Aat
yeah casey said that
almost
I js need to either wait for the button to puppet colombia
or to invade them myself
đ¤Ż
Idk i was too lazy to figure that out
Tho the ai sent me like 50 divs
When i asked
But i gave them back because im nice
yeah maybe later
Best dlc IMO
what does it do
NSB was in another level compared to all the others
MIOs, special forces doctrine, arms market
gotcha
hell yeah
I just prefer AAT if i have to choose to play with 1 dlc
ill prolly get it in a couple weeks
I js bought it for the arms market, but sweden is lowk the 2nd funnest nation to play
hungary is the 1st imo
can you still get seĂąor hitler as fascist argentina?
Cringe cringe cringe
Didn't ask you to speak
Because id need to count to like
3-4 million ish
On this server
I was playing mp well before NSB came out, and when it did, it did wonders for mp community, thatâs around the time all these tournaments started popping up too
There's gonna be a bigger idiot than međ
Why
speaking of which i got gotterdammerung, la resistance, and bba, but unfortunately the game is lwk getting boring and idk what country and path to do
what decides when communist germany can puppet countries?
My arch nemesis
đ
I haven't played la resistance, but most of hungary's paths are pretty fun
can i borrow the expertise of someone who knows the shape of portugal better than I do?
i literally just got it for anarchist spain
thats it
Play mp!
wait am I dumb
Why
yes I am
I have to beat that guy...
I thought la resistance was the south america dlc đ
A dying breed ngl
I got it for the spy network, and it was worth it
tryna make a map and i need the shape of portugal for the borders of spain/portugal
Stop breeding people to play mpđ đ
almost everyone in mp are horrible people tho
I can help maybe? Idk how i would tho
my wifi aint great so everytime i requested to join a game id be denied
thats why u find good people
???
oh yeah that too
im still learning it
Gotta get someone playing nowadays
I don't have friends tho
Bomb them
get them
js need help with actually outlining the country, i can dm you if you would like that way we can talk about it better
If they annoy you just ruin their game
Sure?
my only friends either don't own the game or are so bad at the game it's not fun to play with them
Teach themM
*?
Teach them it
i tried and ended up playing with you đ
but i'm shit at the game too
I mean they know stuff, they're just really bad
R they worse than tou?
and I don't know what they know and what they don't
yeah
đ
Just teach everything you know
i'm bad at teaching too
that would take wayyy too long
I'd have to teach all of the dlc
and they still know quite a bit
they're just bad
Doesn't matter if u r all horrendous cos u r all equally debuffedđ
True, why I should join them 
Cos atm its coughing baby vs coughing toddler
Bro this ck3 game is hard
Bro when
I canât research CAs
Wha
Did I ask đ đ đ
Thanks!
Ik it is
close air support âď¸
Heavy cruisers
why is it so hard for the chinese to build railways
jesus christ
I have all of this stuff
except sp artillery but đ¤Ť
Speaking of mp, how familiar are you with battleplan sov
