yea its a big problem here in my opinion
definetly, it's unfortunate
for 8 slots I assume you'd do
9 marines + 10 mountaineers
with flame tanks + assault engineers + hospitals + light tank recon + super-heavy howitzer + AA + AT + idk what goes after this tbh
and its really easy to act like that too
Doesn't super-heavy howitzer slow down your troops?
I'm currently on super heavy railway gun, after that I'll do howitzers
Anyone down to play?
Well your troops are still at 4kmh anyways
Yeah if that's the case you can just use normal artillery for now
heck
What puppy boy?
the black sun can't stand up to good marines
and good airpower
It probably has that
Alright
Does anyone know if hoi4 will be 18€ on the sale on the 28th of November or more?
IDK
How do I go to war with a country without just taking 5 or less cities
IDK either
Verify your clock
victoria 3 or hoi4 or crusader kings 3 which one is your favourite
What did you expect, people join the servers generally cause they like the game
vic3/hoi are good
ck3 is a nice game but ehh i dont rlly get into it
Hoi 4
about time
Kingdom of Sweden: 🗿
Hey guys
where do I attain such map
This don't seem right
Do send me more
Make me :3
I dislike this image
Send them or you'll receive lots of these
what do resistance contacts actually do?
i got some in german occupied uk
but i cant find where or how to use thme
Border rating: 8/10
Border rating: 7/10
i feel mechanically ck2 is far better
ck3 feels "cartoony" in its mechanics
yeah but its good for that
fun beginner/low skill game
its more polished fr
perfect
ck3 diverges from the EU, CK, and HOI type UIs
makes it easier to understand and play
is there a case where refurbishment repair mio is better than battle line?
Read the bonuses that each mio give and choose yourself
well sure but I'm not super well verse on whether hp is really worth it
compared to raw armor and firepower
I know hospitals for tanks are good thanks to the hp increase, lessening tank losses, but I don't know if hp is as valuable in naval
but also makes it feel more arbitrary and arcadey
which si fine, but its also not what i played ck2 for
i personally prefer it
its easier on the eyes and the more simplified mechanics improve preformance insanely
soviet union is so powerful wtf
where can i see navy strategy it was pinner here somewhere
i declared btw
i dont like these
🇰🇵
8 days left till NCNS comes out
Kim Il Sung Birthday!!
Alex jones, duh
stellaris cat
vic 3 economic disaster jumpscare
ck3 dog
wow
ok
so my hoi4 crashed
and it wouldnt stop because it was "running" (it was not i checked task manager)
and it seems to have crashed so hard it crashed my steam and now i have to reinstall a lot of mods
thats crazy
the average hoi4 experience
my hoi4 crashed on linux cuz it tried to open a file in a directory that didnt even exist
yeah thats linux
crashes are like daily
better performance
first time i play an askar nohist lobby without 10fps on opening gui
gUI
oh for hoi4 it shouldnt crash because the game is ancient
on an even more ancient engine
its the reverse tho??
Isn’t it from like 2006 😭
the newer a game is the more chances of it being compatible with linux
Because hoi3 same engine
Hell no
yeah something like that
when compatibility isnt officlal then yeah
but hoi4 has official compatibility
Even when official
Hoi4 was poorly optimised in general 😭
tac is new to using linux
hoi4 runs better on linux i have figured
Makes sense
just more unstble
Which distro
i think ill have to switch to my windows SSD for mp matches
Please tell me not arch
tried zorin but went to mint
This is on my portfolio website lmao
it's slower than linux mint by a mile, less customizable and if you want more of the features that actually make it stand out you have to pay
lol
oh it’s that one
whats wrong with arch?
its just for ppl who want full control over their pcs
If you’re a beginner it’s awful
I’ve used Linux for over a decade 😭
im aware hence i didnt choose it
mainly use arch
Fair
I need to update the programming language section
dang
i use linux mostly cuz its like
just better than windows nowadays
Not spyware fr
yipee i can play hoi4 again
microsoft really knows how to make their system slop
Me in like 3 days fr
only took 20 minutes of being crashed
and linux is kinda good for me cuz i do coding as a hobbie
Fair
I’m gonna sound like a shill but
Try zed
As a code editor
It’s rlly good
imo
Maybe one day lol
I picked mint cuz it's highly customizable but doesn't require PHDs to setup
I want to have my OS look like my nostalgia trip 🙏
so i made it look like my childhood OS lol
Real
Kim Il Sungs Birthday!!
Should've been a neutron star
Senior hitler
so uhhh
I'm at war with Spain
but I'm also able to put my planes in their territory
@heavy vigil https://www.reddit.com/r/hoi4/s/q3wvhiG8Jk
The comments having objectively bad advice is also funny 😭
My dumbass Trying to learn this game can you give me any tutorials in dms pls cause I know not all of them are good
"hey guys look at my economic gameplay ive been doing its way better than normall-"
"what the hell."
the union of Brittan joined the 3rd international against me while i was playing monarchist germany😭 (but hey atleast the soviets stopped division spamming)
why is everyone TAKING TO LONG to talk
Kim Il Sungs Birthday!!
Why would anyone want to know this
desperate defense when mass mob right
happy birthday dear leader (i will be shot if i dont say this)
Eternal President
poop pee
😭😭
This is just straight up not fun. I need to take 1-2 more cities to win, but I've been stuck at this position for months. The ai has a shit ton of basic infantry divisions and keep constantly attacking most of my frontline tiles making it impossible for my to take any of their tiles.
And they have enough infantry on each of their tiles that they can stall long enough to reinforce any attempted attack by me.
Like dude...
And this is why we try to win the air war
And make dedicated offensive divisions
I did
I assume those motorized divisions are the default ones
No, they aren't
Is that bad?
25 widths are not great
I optimized them for forest.
Line arty isnt great
36 widths are optimal for offensive divisions
Motorized is just infantry that goes fast
So it doesn't attack well
Artillery doesn't give enough stats for the width it takes up
Actual tank divisions or special forces are the way to go for offensive divisions
baconator
Yummers
I have around 25 factories on cas, and that's not even enough to break even. Same with my fighters.
Well CAS is useless if fighters arent clearing the skies
I'm even trading good against English fighters.
They lose more than I do, but they have fricken 5k
I usually have like 40 factories on fighters
Even more if I have the factories for them
What's your industry currently
Why do I sense 15 factories on support equipment for some reason
are you making any tanks or anything
From what I can tell, he invested into 25 width motorized with 1 motorized arty
And experiencing pain from that
Not super heavily
I do have medium tanks
so do you actually need marines for sealion if you do it around 1940 to 1941?
What are those divisions
perhaps before america joins the war
2000+ CAS and regular infantry can do a landing with tank divisions expanding the beachhead
so cas is key
And once you land, use CAS and/or NAVs to clear the English channel
So you can get supply because the British will raid you
but my stukas can barely reach the shores
Landing at Hull is meh. Land at the Dover, Portsmouth area
Nah
I did my landing without marines
You also deny the UK an airfield by landing there
should i invade ireland prior?
ill keep that in mind thx
phew
about to form the federation
in 1941
Usa was pretty easy since it got cooked in its civil war and lost most of it divisions
though now that i ignored europe i hope the others just annhilate eachother
this run MIGHT be over
Or u just lock in🔥
Guys, why didn't Germany IRL do what I do in HOI4?
Mass produce super heavy railway guns and bombard the shit out of the enemy.
Because only one railway gun is required per 5-10 tiles to have the max buff, germany would have wasted ic they could use on more mass mob
ikr why didnt they just armor meme
silly gooses
This guy when he finds out he has to rule the new albanian order
Not relly hull is still a good since they have less troops there and you just invade from norway
ive made no progress 😔
the romanians unironically could kill me but they just choose not to
bro what did you do to bulgaria
yeah naval land in Cornwall
Bit late for that...
take ireland for fun
Ew annexation
can puppets make collabs?
no Reichskommissariats 💔
I established them right after.
This image was taken right after the war ended.
has the price of the dlc been announced?
Rks are also in base game
No but it's probably the same as Götterdämmerung
I didn't realize I had to keep king Carol...
This should be a mod
Why is bulgaria in serbia and serbia in bulgaria?
I think the coalition is cooked
Youre right
Is this a what if germany won ww1 alt history?
Kaiserswelt by RBM
Oh cool
2046,After WW4
Based roblox natural disasters machine
I hate how fascist poland still gets a general government inside it
Thereby making 2 fascists polands
And horrible bordergore
oh yeah sorry i forgot my bad
the humble province tooltip mod:
are you playing ironman
if you are i think you can go into game files and change it to non-ironman
Tdebug
I feel the pain
save europe
wtf is a tooltip mod
i forgot what its called
not nearly as good
wdym
good mod
“To create the general government u or a puppet must control the needed territory”
And u are a puppet of Germany I believe
pdx has to fix it at least
They won’t
no, make it worse
Yeah, but it makes no sense
If you are a puppet why can they make another puppet
Inside of you
That is basically also Poland
He loved Poland so much he wanted two of em!
Yeah, Fascist has better buffs.
But you gotta keep Carol.
Based leader. Likes to party.
you can play mods in mp right
yes
yall think milennium dawn is a good one to do in mp
not at all what
it struggles to run for most people in singleplayer
what makes you think mp will be good
any other good modern day mods then
most of them prob wont run because a lot of countries cause lag
what if only with like 3 ppl
that doesnt make it better mod wise?
most multiplayer mods already remove nations from vanilla because it doesnt run great
TFR is probably the best at the moment
but the nature of its wars doesn’t rly suit mp
Guys, it feels like HOI4 is less about strategy and more about meta and concentrated attacks.
I want to use my military genius.
its about optimizing war logistics mostly
That's fun.
I like the supply systems.
as in production/losses
The fire rises or novum
I can’t spell the last word
Vexillium?
Yes
WW3 just started because the Democratic Republic of the Congo joined the Allies, then had the Communist Insurrectionists of Rwanda-Burundi revolt and join the Comintern
in 1943, because germany was utterly inept this game
WW2 ended within 3 years
Guys when will Livers of Tungsten V drop
I heard Gallbladders of Lead V is first
Also, for the First time in my 200 hours, I invaded Japan
Went Well, their Homeland was barely Defended

I always start the game and then just say screw it and leave

How can I win or at least defend against soviet union and germany in 1939 with poland? its pvp
U can’t
Literally
you dont
poland in that is so just
theres no way to win
Sad
My best bet would be holding near Krakow
player soviet and player germany will destroy a player poland no matter what
helstinky by christmas
people hate on the balkans forgetting a balkan invented something they couldn't play any games or watch tutorials,cook food in ovens ect💔 
How do I not die as Austria
you make maginot lines
and spam military
like 12 width
and lots of support classes
best not to use destroyers
make division
Naval bombers are the best sub hunters
Can you not have spotting cruisers find them and then strike force ASW DDs to kill them? I know that when you're defending against subs spotting is shit, but when you spot them and then attack all the subs are visible at the start of battle
too much effort
better make convoys
Those too, although i think using spotting cruisers and ASW DDs on strikeforce can kill them quickly as well.
also although this technically works you run into troubles 99% the times
well, against ai subs you can kinda just put destroyer on escort and still kill them
This too, but it's a waste of IC and I prefer building light cruisers, cheap destroyers, or pure subs instead to kill the rest of their navy
And just rely purely on naval bombers to bomb the hell out of subs in the water
I see what you mean.
oh wow finland is in dire straits
So if I puppet serbia do I get their puppets?
probably
honestly the quickest solution ive had to the issue
gets rid of subs in like a few weeks compared to a few months
Nope
there all independent now
i just dont care ima just annex them with consoles
Dude
why dont i get a say in this shit
how do I give my puppet that state back
serbia?
I am not dealing with this bullshit
what mod are you playing lmao
There called serbia because they released all their puppets
and I puppeted them, and I didnt get the ones they puppeted
I just make them annex all of their puppets
Also this is vanilla with just visual shit
Yeah
How do I transfer a state to another country
You cant unless its occupied land
I mean with consoles
setowner [country tag] [state id]
how do i pump out tanks as germany
yea
then find the tag of the nation you wanna give it to
u can just select the state and use setcontroller/setowner and the country tag
Military factories
also to make it easier use state transfer tool
also kovas' states are great
All planes
Wait why is this actually a ogod peace treaty
wait with the netherlands why cant u just only invade belgium
and not netherlands until later
Netherlands are the easiest to kill
It’s not?
More factories from occupation
And bigger frontline on Belgium when you invade
Does italy accept this normally
1 in a million
thats not really a peace treaty though
?
get a toolpack
how do spies help in ww2
If I puppet romania while there at war with the allies do I have to get invovled in their war or will they just like wp them
i think only if they call you into war and you accept
idk tho
also what map mnod is that
Segls map mod
someone explain whats happening here
ugh south america is such a nightmare with supply...
are heavy tanks or light tanks better
Heavys
is medium tank better than boyth
Well heavys are better, but its just unnessacary, Mediums are much cheaper and have good enough states
what should i do while i cant research mediums
cuz u dont start with mediums as germany
its just light and heavy
what about modern? are they better than medium?
theres only mediums in 1938
wAIT
To research them
Actually
wait just rush
wdym
Moderns suck
Research the tech around the start of the game
your get it in 1937
wait they do? well crap then. oh well i am in 1953 so might as well keep using them....
Yeah there worse then heavys
might be over gang
1953?
yeah my game is in 1953
i did a hungary run like that and italy puppeted yugoslavia so i couldnt 2v1 them for ages
been stuck with supply fighting canada and south america
then when i did it took 2 years
and then by then no one was giving me anything
so i just gave up
also only me against the world....
send screenshot of the map
when i get home i will
i conquered canada so i am now focusing south america
yesterday i capitulated brazil and Paraguay
nice
which one
i thought bold attack was the best
but i see a lot of people going meticulous preparation
yeah in all honesty i think i am fine due to the fact majority of the allies are on scrapping the barrel
oh lol
this is cursed
are u on extensive conscription
while im only on the one extensive
the one with 10% training time
well i mean the ai had stupid moments where they was NONSTOP attackin my unit in one of my puppets (which wasnt even in the war)
peak
uh
ok lol
but canada might be why
I don't get it
i did do some sneaky encirlments and let them enter that spot just to do it again
highest i got was over 800k
going to be annoying for naval invasions cause i am trying to make every nation fascist
(used USA for this since they are self sustainable and have tons of factory potential)
why does my game start freezing every time i click something
it just started happening about 1 minute ago
would have been done faster but since it is late game my frames are jsut gone
nah my game keeps freezing for no reason
ive never had my game drop below 99 fps even in 1951 with all releasables fighting civil wars
mine might be struggling cause im going against everybody
its cuz ur computer has ps2 hardware
oh nah
nah its a nice computer for gaming
A wise man once said, hoi4 is strategic but not grand, Victoria 3 is grand but not strategic
the ps2 is a nice console for gaming
true to that (still have both my ps2s)
welp gotta go back to work
i will send picture of my session and where i am at when i get back
I am taking so many casulaties but idgaf
they're not casualties
they're simply more barricades for any defences you may make
insert a funny steiner meme

dang this chaos mod is insane
The worst Ending: All of Africa is Nigeria
did I cook?
wtf 😭
what does this mean
You gotta click the wrench to design a tank
oh this is my first time on nsb
Bought it recently?
Generally people recommend radio, and howitzers as main gun
Personally I dont build full meta in favor of 10-12km/h speed tanks
Gotta do artillery tech
Thats where the howitzer goes if unlocked, otherwise idk
howitzer unlocks earlier in Rt56 so I never have to consider anything else
its a tech not special project
oh
only flametank is a special project
nvm
thats what i thought u meant by howitzer
wait wdym by tech
It unlocks from artillery technology
do u mean this?
oh yeah, i forgot this could happen in vanilla
what does the number on these things mean
how much ur winning the battle
ah ty
That's literally vanilla but it's at night
I hate dark mode maps
It's fine
not my istanbul ):
hp is a bit low and the support companies are off but that may work
What the hell are those borders
I obliterated the USA with this boy
Use the puppet method trust
it looks like the Austrian empire
for some reason
Well yeah, but czechoslovakia + hungary + croatia?
how do u get mechanised
Research it
where
i dont know!
I have No Idea what the Vanilla tree looks anymore
I think it's below support companies?
Truck 3
Well there's obviously No trucks
Google is a thing you know
Shush

Border rating: 8/10
Border rating: 7/10
Oh man paradox fix your game
Border rating: 4/10
No
The Austrian focus that gives you a spirit to send volunteers to Spain instantly removed itself
"Hm our empire's borders are exposed, with our safest borders being in the east by the black sea. Where should we put the Capital?"
"In the weird exclave surrounded by irrendist Germany"
Rigged rating
Did the civil war end?
Ofc not, the spirit immideatly removes itself, ive tried it 3 times
I think its just bad code
Huh
nah it was there for me
That's... Honestly tolerable
Basically wasted 35 days to get locked behind bonuses

am i the only one to have tried to reunify germany in vanilla?
Germany starts Out unified..?
Yo guys can sum1 recommend me a good underated nation to play as
Honestly, I'm having a great time with belgium and netherlands
you can balkanize germany in the custom game settings
mexico
Besides that, Hungary is amazing and (at least to me) Iraq
without the dlc, mexico is...eh
oh
Played Hungary like 100 times
i do love having to mow down mexicans as el salvador
and i am suffering with iraq (united arab republic path)
the amount of mexicans i have killed in the frontlines as el salvador's central america....
ofc you're attacking hungary
as we say here
hunt them before they prey on you
El Salvador
It’s fun
my country
i love el salvador.
and central america.
(17.3M total casualties while fighting against the americans and mexicans, i only took 300k casualties)
it fell off after they gave peru formables
now its just better to play peru
i wish there was a new spain formable for any formable from mexico to panama
or a mayan union or a kingdom of cuzcatlan formable
Does militia count for the infantry buffs?
what is the best marine template with amtracs
Add more infanrry
i dont think that is a good idea
because it would slow it down (BY A LOT)
Bro what is this 💀
✌️✌️✌️
bro ive literally never made a tank template
From what I can tell, each category of troops has subcategories
For leg infantry you have two: the regular infantry battalion and anything else (e.g. irregulars, bicycle infantry, mountaineers, etc)
Militia fit in the second category, so they miss out on some infantry buffs but get a lot of them too
Who is next on the chopping list
As in motorized in your case
Prob Austria or Czechoslovakia
Of course if I have no mech I would just use cavalry or camelry personally
the most important thing is to design your tank
and then, get support company(flame tank, assult engineer)
they are from special projects
then template is whatever
idk this is what i have
Ill Puppet them bc I cant annex my ppl😔✌️
i think i need more speed
How'd you get so thicc then
Wdym??😔
where did hungary go, for one
Vanished
fair enough
is this good
oh, i thought you meant this
okey
read what I sent
yeah there's three levels of infantry in this game
cavalry and motorized/mechanized count as infantry in one sense
in another they don't but mountaineers and militia do
in a third it's just that regular infantry battalion
4 more tank battalions
it's irrelevant
but you can add more speed clicks
you just lose reliability
which is really bad for you
i havent researched howitzer yet
bro i have over 30 mils on medium tanks and i still dont have enough for 4 divisions
Try 30width, if you can, use armored support, maintenance or logistics. If you have powerful industry, you can make 8 medium tanks + 8 mot.inf
Hungary was promised by god to the Slovaks 10000 years ago✌️✌️
idk if i can afford that all bro
my industry isnt good enough yet
are you close to doing the advanced panzer research focus
production scale up
it takes time
Oh sorry but if you can't afford all of that, maybe you should just use mechanized/motorized shock troops
idk bro
ive never really tried tanks out yet
bro i cant afford anything tank related
when is it also
august 1938
well if you have 30 factory producing for a year you would have roughly 10 tanks
just keep the line there
production will scale up
Not even light tank?
this doesn't mean anything
the unfilled portion on the green bar are tanks
trust it was way worse before
why didnt mao zedong conscript 100M chinese peasants to fight in the korean war to help NK win the war
if your division does't have tank in them
