[viscid stirrup]

Its an inhumane punishment for what is ususlly a minor offense

[ripe slate]

inhumane 😹

[viscid stirrup]

The endless struggle of appealing bans will never end

As long as the injustice is perpetuated

[heavy vigil]

Huh

Its mostly wildly immature (as in "edgy") /rule breaking people that get banned

Or people who are openly national socialists on their profile or openly prejudiced otherwise

[wet basalt]

I thought HOI4 games were long until I played EU4 and spent 3 hours only to pass 3 years in time.

[viscid stirrup]

Is it wrong to be immature? To feel that fleeting joy of childhood once more?

[wet basalt]

And the game is supposed to go for centuries wtf

[ripe slate]

No but you dont have to be immature here

[wet basalt]

Why not :D

[sharp sierra]

are most bans permanent here or do they have a duration

[viscid stirrup]

My critique is aimed at private servers

[heavy vigil]

permanent but you can appeal

On the appeal server

[viscid stirrup]

They fill the member list with yes men

Banning the rest

[safe wing]

you can appeal like I did

[ripe slate]

Damn, Casey spilling all the beans /s

[eternal palm]

[safe wing]

[eternal palm]

Don't tell him!

[sharp sierra]

i thnik only prn and gore should be bannable offenses

[safe wing]

I'm like William Afton

[viscid stirrup]

Yo vro will i ever get unbanned from bittersteel server?

[sharp sierra]

or if the person is just that toxic and annoying

[viscid stirrup]

Its been half a year

[eternal palm]

Absolutely nt

[sharp sierra]

[eternal palm]

Did u appeal lol

[viscid stirrup]

Where can i appeal

[eternal palm]

With the mods

[viscid stirrup]

Arent u a mod?

[safe wing]

I always come back

[viscid stirrup]

I appeal my ban

[eternal palm]

No

[eternal palm]

I will not

U wanna get unbanned

[viscid stirrup]

Yes

[eternal palm]

U do it yourself

[viscid stirrup]

Or at least i want the reason for my ban specified

[eternal palm]

I literally told u a few days ago

Can't blame me for your dementia

[viscid stirrup]

U claimed that i was being political

When i didnt even mention politics

[eternal palm]

And that is largely correct. We do not tolerate it to the levels that it does herr

When we say no politics, we mean no politics

[hot patrol]

why ain't they goin

[eternal palm]

Too little transports

[viscid stirrup]

I think u forgot that i didnt mention politics in the bittersteel server

[sharp sierra]

maybe split the transports

[eternal palm]

U can yap all you want now

[hot patrol]

bruh

[eternal palm]

We know why we banned u. If what I said isn't explanation enough, that's not my problem

[grizzled yarrow]

trotsky line stands

[viscid stirrup]

So when can i appeal , and with whom?

[eternal palm]

The mods

On bittersteel

[viscid stirrup]

U are a mod

[eternal palm]

No?

[trim pike]

lmao

[sharp sierra]

who caresabout the bitterstele server anyways i never talked in there

[hot patrol]

hitler could never be competent enough to just paradrop instead of making a 2front war

[viscid stirrup]

Ok then tell me whos a mod

[eternal palm]

Cba 🥱

[hot patrol]

also the comintern is fighting the allies

[viscid stirrup]

That i can speak to to appeal my ban

[eternal palm]

U don't have enough transports, u need 50 per div and u assigned too many orders

If 1 order can't fill it's transport demands it will never go

[viscid stirrup]

Then who can bs bothered?

[eternal palm]

Idk

I defo can't

[hot patrol]

[viscid stirrup]

[cobalt imp]

I love subs bro

[umbral agate]

[noble garden]

1 infantry and one artillery

[lapis snow]

[heavy vigil]

@eternal palm you ever play against vanilla ai and remember you dont need that many fighters?

[eternal palm]

And then have like 10K+ too many

[valid prairie]

or argument

it serves no purpose

[eternal palm]

Aint either. This guy is just special

[tulip thorn]

At like a certain point u need more cas

[heavy vigil]

No i just have too many fighters

[valid prairie]

it doesnt matter

[eternal palm]

Are u on sd aswell

[tulip thorn]

Ok so?

[heavy vigil]

Ofc

[tulip thorn]

One cant find something funny

[eternal palm]

Well in disaster saves when the allies have a combined 50k planes u kinda need more

[tulip thorn]

Thats crazy

[heavy vigil]

Naturally you have that

[heavy vigil]

I wasnt playing ger i had 50+ since 1938 as japan

[eternal palm]

Ye I'm debating if bs isn't just better cuz u don't need that many fighter stats

[tulip thorn]

Explain to me, what is this.

[toxic sapphire]

yours might be from a kids show but you are way more mature than him so its obvious that you're not a kid

[heavy vigil]

Germany ofc can easily do 50 on fighter

Thats fine

[hot patrol]

i was gonna ask that

but i'm not sure if i could recover

would it be worth force deploying my paratroopers

actually, flip it

[eternal palm]

Yes?

[hot patrol]

hopefully that'll be okay

[tulip thorn]

Those paratroopers are about to absolutely destroyed

[hot patrol]

yep

well duuhh

[tulip thorn]

That aa about to turn them to nothing

[hot patrol]

i mean

they're doing fine

where even is london

[patent thistle]

(ignore australia thats the bri*ish still doing there thing)

[candid pecan]

[marsh ravine]

Just produce it

Its ur assault/armored engi

[hot patrol]

AYY

[candid pecan]

well

[marsh ravine]

More stats

[fringe shell]

[marsh ravine]

Think so?

Wait how do u have it if no dlc

Guh

[candid pecan]

wait

i mean

i have gotterdammerung

[marsh ravine]

U can use jt

[candid pecan]

how tho

[marsh ravine]

Its a support company?

[pastel trout]

It’s used for some support companies

[marsh ravine]

Replace ur engineers with it

[pastel trout]

Like assault engineers

[candid pecan]

sorry bro im pretty new

ok

[pastel trout]

Just like how flame tanks are used for flame tank support company

[hot patrol]

1942

17th june

[fringe shell]

usa in war

?

[hot patrol]

no

not fighting ussr because i'm not as arrogant as hitler was

[pastel trout]

It really is just kicking the door

[hot patrol]

what

[pastel trout]

And the USSR crumbles to any player Germany

[hot patrol]

peak encirclement

[pastel trout]

Peak

There will not be another Dunkirk

[candid pecan]

check dms

[fringe shell]

https://tenor.com/view/this-is-peak-this-is-fucking-peak-peak-gif-9818841776131764942

[candid pecan]

21 divisions

[hot patrol]

yeah

[fringe shell]

ahh

United States of America

[candid pecan]

whats a support company

[eternal palm]

U trolling?

[candid pecan]

Nop

e

[eternal palm]

The column on the very left side of the template designer

The small one

[candid pecan]

oh

that

nvm

i know what that is

[candid pecan]

how do u use this for it

[eternal palm]

U need this for multiple companies such as assault engi, armored engi, armored signal and so on

U produce it and then use the appropriate support companies in your template

It's basically tank support equipment

[candid pecan]

could u use it for an infantry division

and it be good

[spiral dock]

@stiff gull give server inv for game?

[eternal palm]

I'd say so

These things are very expensive though

[marsh ravine]

Yes u can

Just changed ur production for it

[candid pecan]

would it be offensive

and stuff

[eternal palm]

You mean for attacking ? Yes

Well assault engi is

Armored engi is for defense

[candid pecan]

oh

how do u get an assault engine

[eternal palm]

Assault engineer? Special project

[candid pecan]

ok

[hot patrol]

https://tenor.com/view/swearing-gif-25588981

yell heah

[candid pecan]

i forgot which ones are good, is it todt speer and hess?

[eternal palm]

You wanna pick Todt, let him make his company, swap into goering, then hess and then goebbels

If u are on left side do speer instead of goering

[candid pecan]

oh im on right side

[eternal palm]

Ye then goering

[candid pecan]

oh yeah btw

at what point of my mefo bills should i start doing the price control measure decisions

cuz someone said i should only by those if theyre above 50

%

[eternal palm]

ASAP I guess

[hot patrol]

why didn't adolph just do this man

[candid pecan]

idk bro if only it was that easy

[eternal palm]

Smh why didn't he just produce more planes 🙄

Pilot training? What's that

[remote quarry]

whenever you do the focus

all the decisions are one-time clicks

so it doesn't when you click them

the real consideration is that how much you want to delay doing the autarky focus because it has an industry bonus on it

[candid pecan]

oh

[brave wyvern]

HOI5 when

[remote quarry]

so you don't apply the industry bonus on construction 2

[candid pecan]

oh i already did it rlly early

[heavy vigil]

yes

[heavy vigil]

idk

[hot patrol]

hah

[hot patrol]

lol

why didn't he just like

do better

smh

[candid pecan]

what are you attacking that one province with

[hot patrol]

the hell?

[hot patrol]

what

NOOO

[marsh ravine]

strength 💀

[marsh ravine]

guh what mod r u playing

why is southhampton there

also they misplaced where portsmouth is

[hot patrol]

kovas' states

its great

i mean yeah some inconsistencies

but realistic borders and so on

[candid pecan]

portsmouth is 1 province to the left

[marsh ravine]

portsmouth should be like where the port icon is roughly

[marsh ravine]

i thought it was left to isle of wight?

[eternal palm]

Bugged

[marsh ravine]

they r rly close

[eternal palm]

Add things to the queue

[pastel trout]

It’s a minor bug, just queue up a bunch of buildings and it should flip back to the top

[candid pecan]

thats similar distance to what it is in game

[marsh ravine]

southampton should be directly above isle of wight

portsmouth the the left

*right

i cant do my left and right

[candid pecan]

whats a good tank template

[marsh ravine]

@eternal palm

do u have edesign saved

i dont

[candid pecan]

yeah but like

early on

[pastel trout]

Basically anything will work for single player

If your in single player just max out soft attack, basically anything you do will melt the ai

Just don’t add line arty to your tank div please I beg you

[candid pecan]

ok

can i use light tanks

cuz every template i see always uses medium tanks

and i cant research that

rn

[patent thistle]

what were the chinese on when making this-

[marsh ravine]

aura.

[eternal palm]

@marsh ravine I gotchu homie

[marsh ravine]

forwarded it to my alt for future 🔥

[hot patrol]

what chassis are these

like what year tech

[eternal palm]

Basic

[marsh ravine]

basic

always basic

[eternal palm]

All of them

[marsh ravine]

never higher

[eternal palm]

It also says so in the screenshot but oh well

[patent thistle]

the soviets understood the idea you guys are on about? ig?

too bad they all are shit designs

[hot patrol]

uhh

[heavy vigil]

no dlc lights are pretty usable tbh

for marines

[candid pecan]

i mean tank division template

[eternal palm]

It is literally right there

I sent 3 pics

I cant help u if u are blind

[candid pecan]

oh wait sorry

i didnt see it was 3

[hot patrol]

forgot i had this mod

[candid pecan]

mussolini looks a bit different today

[tepid crown]

Catito Meowsilini?!?

[hot patrol]

@eternal palm this ok?

[eternal palm]

Do u have howitzers? And Torsion is bad aswell as welded armor

only ever do riveted

a medium tank cant stack armor, and if you even wanted to do it, you'd 1 heavy tank with all the armor modules

Like thos

[eternal palm]

Also advanced chassis for no reason whatsoever

[hot patrol]

i mean why not advanced chassis

holy reliability on that thing

or rather, lack of it

[foggy onyx]

anyone wanna play with me and my friend

[hot patrol]

?

[eternal palm]

Already so much better

[hot patrol]

is it okay enough

though

[eternal palm]

Why did u decrease armor clicks

max out armor clicks

use christie suspension

rel is a fake stat

[hot patrol]

reliability is at 50 already

damn

[eternal palm]

And?

Rel doesnt matter

[hot patrol]

there

[eternal palm]

if u take attrition just move out and build supply

[hot patrol]

bruh

[eternal palm]

See now thats perfect

[hot patrol]

What's a good Panzer division template btw

[eternal palm]

See above

[hot patrol]

Alright

[eternal palm]

@hot patrol

[hot patrol]

What if I haven't gotten helicopters yet

Oh yeah a flame tank

Gotta make those too

[eternal palm]

Just dont bother

I just included it as an after thought

that might have been the only game I actually got them lol

none really

I mean maybe if ur navs cant reach, but then its like, just route your convoys where your navs can reach

Exactly what you just said

it kills subs

If it has depth charges

[hot patrol]

Are they worth it?

[eternal palm]

I mean 9% less fuel and supply consumption is 9% less fuel and supply consumption

So maybe

if u already have an air facility for radar

[candid pecan]

did they remove the thick arrow for field marshal offensive lines

its so thin now

[eternal palm]

Map mod maybe

[candid pecan]

does fps map change it

for me it looks like this

and for other ppl it looks like this

[hot patrol]

i already got radar, researching jet engines

[eternal palm]

Good

[eternal palm]

Yes

[hot patrol]

oh thank god

[candid pecan]

oh i got the thick arrow

[tiny tartan]

If hoi4 was real I feel like a lot of people would die

I was too lazy to download the mod and change the game mechanics.

[sudden thistle]

[fair horizon]

also first thing i would reccomend doing as belgium is finding a sugar daddy major (player) that will oppose britian

[fair horizon]

why is that dude like 20 feet tall?

[runic spoke]

use basic logi then

heli logistics arent necessary by any means

they are just better

[fair horizon]

[eternal palm]

Depends on the civil war. Who are u playing as

[runic spoke]

mandatory palestine 💀

generic civil war

[broken plover]

It doesn't make sense

[crude kayak]

Hi

Ok light tank and space marine is a oxymoron

[sudden thistle]

No

[eternal palm]

There's no such thing as a cheap light tank space marine

That armor might aswell be 0
