Battleplanning is fun
Won’t go perfect or good but like I’ll try to learn on the way more
they cant be the same
its like a 1 or 1.5ic cost difference
yes because of pre dlc japan buff
i told you
now its the other way around
if you do the UK I would recommend making lots of carriers and sub hunting destroyers, your convoys will get raided A LOT by the germans so you want to make small fleets with 1 carrier and 4-6 destroyers in them to hunt down submarines
if you do convoy escorting use the cheapest destroyers possible, literally nothing on them but whats required, ships on convoy escort suck at actually killing submarines but when you go hunting for them using strike force on low threat the enemies subs start the battle already spotted making it very easy to kill them
carrier fighter is significantly more expensive for worse stats
thats also an overkill fighter design for the ai
all that matters for convoy escort is the shear quantity of your screens, full screening efficiency means your convoys wont be sunk
you can drop the armor and even an hmg and still tear through ai
and torpedos SUCK at hitting destroyers
What modules should I keep upgrading
radar (facility project, try and get it sooner rather than later), fire control (electronics tree) and your main batteries
Casey, have you messed with carriers this patch yet
is dont understand why carriers are so useful?
I need to know something
if you get research bonuses for hulls use them, otherwise dont prioritize researching new hulls unless you have nothing else to research
at all tbr?
Lol this DLC is funny. I play as Communist China and every warlord rejected my offer to become a puppet except for the big China, they accepted to become my puppet LOL
planes dominate battle
Ok thanks
both land and sea
I have 25% of their industry im small
You used to make solely carrier fighters as Japan. Not anymore I guess
they use air wings at 10x efficiency of land based ones, but in the last update/dlc they also allow you to kill all incoming naval bombers if they have some fighters
But carriers are OP in naval combat
any tips for japan beating china
actually wait nvm do research them, just try and get research bonuses for them, the sooner you research them the sooner you can make them
any new templates or doctrines that are good
Attack ships that cant attack you back
but I would say avoid researching better destroyer hulls, the extra slots arent all that useful
all i know is encircle as much as possbile but usually i find myself in a manpower disadvantage and china outnumbers me
Template meta somewhat remains the same despite the new doctrine rework
even if they have worse stats i can break through
i still dont see why not because you can get carrier plane cost reductions
but for things like submarines, cruisers, and maybe battleships/carriers researching them is very important
more gun slots for cruisers means more light attack which means more screen killing
better submarine hulls have lower visibility making them much harder to spot in a battle
i love how china stans 40+ division on beiping while still reinforcing ports. manpower printers
anyone here is getting a glitch that as italy you cant use the global market acess
and it gives you hyperflexibility
Idk, I haven't played Japan yet
Ive only played 1939 China and USA
Its alright
obviously underwhelming given the cost
but its prolly got the most fleshed out content
I solely wanted to try out escort carriers and my tiny patrol fleets took out enemy patrols while my strike force dealt with anything heavier
How tf are you supposed to beat japan as China
It's really easy
Make anti air
it looks easier than it used to be from what ive seen
i didnt make anti air and still won with ease
That's what i learned in 1939 start date
Its not
very intresting that my entire faction is bald
I have negative guns
division meta is 18 width inf with support art and engineer right?
Otherwise hold river line, go immediately for attack buffs
china has way less horrible modifiers
Put 15 mils in guns, 5 in artillery, 5 in support equipment
That is what Bitt3rsteel says
didnt their old army debuff have like -50% attack and defense
yep
and it took until like 38 to fix
ts boutta be light
30 I think
Its all red everything is res theres no green
Delay the war until 1939 and basically just concede all the land, you should still win by 1941
It took i think 100xp + 90 days to remove 1/3 of debuffs
So theoretically can be removed in 180 days
literally every tile on the lower end is mountains or hills
they will capture shanghai, all you need to do is encircle it and kill the troops over and over without taking the ports
We love port strats
Should I merge navies
but wouldtake much longer
cause you need 300xp total
Deathstacks still work. Just have small patrol fleets
and the old china tree was very helpful by only giving like 50 mil xp
across several focuses
Dont forget Japan was incredibly weak at start as well
Because Marco polo
So you strengthen as fast as Japan
yeah generally
Also you got the army defense genius
Who you dont have access to anymore
You also had a focus for daily army xp
dont remember that part
so what is the meta now
is it just 9 inf 1 art batallion
like as japan what is a good cheap unit to hold the line against the mass of chinese divisions
9 inf flat
china is not counterattacking against you unless you let them
mengjiang and manchuria also are pretty decent at just holding the line in the northwest

Black Friday over here 🥀
are there any doctrines that have subdoctrines around cavalry? poland starts with GBP but most of the subdoctrines doctrines (except for grand assault and like 2 cavalry specific bonuses in the other subdoctrines) mostly focus on infantry and tanks
As it turns out capitals are really easy to kill when they have no screens
Their pride gone
I’m sorry bro I know what I means but… like cmon. GORENG?!
(It’s Indonesian fried rice
Hello up there France!
Im sure glad your gonna this war and I totally wont be encircled by axis powers!
the war started 3 days ago.
PLEASE FRANCE I NEED THIS
May you run out of fuel
WHAT AM I GONNA DO 😭
Surrender
Switzerland NEVER surrenders.
Except this time
real
lore accurate switzerland
im gonna stay neutral till like 1945
and pray
and then
once the allies start winning
declare war on germany
🔥
turkiye methods
thank you for the non power creep content paradox!
4 carriers from one 35 day focus!
no compromise no fun
i dont think germany likes you very much
\
Listen adolf, its nothing personal buddy
I think for the first time ever im actually SCARED of getting declared on
I'm getting my stuff done. I still need to wait for the hoi4 wiki to update with actual achievement icons
bro they have EVERY SIDE OF ME 💔
China is actually kinda fun now
kinda
guys
It's like Ethiopia but better
real
Bro why am I so lucky with this stuff
Yeah but I enjoy the challenge
fake
BRO ALL THE LAND IS CORED?
real
I am on ironman
real
fake
probable
Well im justiflying on germoney now
I am the last stand of DEMOCRACY in europe.
up to hoi4 in a mega campaign what mods can be used to make it not boring?
Every single mod all at once
rt56 once its updated
and see if your game doesnt crash by march
how to expand my special forces cap
Dare you to download whole workshop for hoi4
to have 5 divs of mountain and marines
just make a bunch of poopie infantry divisions tbh
make like 500 2 width divisions
lol
then make em like 20 width
it might eat 30K guns
poopie infantry can't invade france
no like temporarily
then, with your giant special forces cap
train all your special forces
maybe 24 marines and 24 mountaineers
and then once they are all trained
I should of just given them memel
what the #### am I even looking at
uh
how did you even form this bro
Germany give me some of their territorys
500 2 width is impossible in 2 years
Cossack king
Sending Germany 5000 CAS
I am doing the like cavarly thing
I dont have a airforce
your gonna delete them anyways
defecits dont matter 😭
bruh
I kinda want to just sit in a corner and beg I dont die
you make them like 30 width right after for all the special cap
I dont make the rules I just follow them
have more total divisions
let them be for the expand army mission
its annoying sure, but atleast you get your marines and shi
why not
Doubt very much you follow the rules
or use Italian east africa to make me some mountaineers
I should play Italy more often
look at my beautiful soldiers
chat what would be a good nation for a noob like me
The last DLC I need to get besides the two sabaton packs
tag the USA to check something and what is this abysmal general layout
why does the AI do this
me when i finally navy
I think im gonna do another switzerland run after this
except go far left instead of canton
Halsy selling
cause rn im out of focuses to do and its like november 1941
hey could u possibly help me
what up?
i can send ss but i need help with fall back lines
what are you having trouble with?
so like i cant draw an offensive line
anw my run done, the new dlc is fun but yeah i aint doing 1947 man and im stuck in us
and i saw someone use a fallback line as like a border for france and the benelux
ok?
how do u draw an offensive line
are you at war with them?
yes
you were not ready or?
i'd draw back on the rhein if i dont have enough forces ngl
i was but when i tried setting a offensive line
ohh
ok so what you do is one delete the fall back line, 2 you click on the button of the Soldier with the plus symbol then click the arow button and draw where you want to to push to
and?
it was kind of like my front line
ah
they all went to the maginot
this^
alr
now since your at war with everyone it should allow you to do all the borders at once but it might force you to have to put different units for each border
its a really weird thing tbh
i found a different method
i just drew the borders with right click
shift right click
I plan on putting a tank in some of my cavalry divisions to help reduce losses via armor, but I need a lot of them quickly, should I do light tanks so I can make more of them but have less effective armor meme tanks or should I do mediums?
that works too
start with light until your industry can easily handle mediums
also what nation are you?
poland
would anyone know why my ships have no supply when theyre docked in my homeland at peace
im going bermontian so the moment I go fascist im justifying on germany before they can do danzig or war
the earlier I can kill them the better
then do the light tanks
excellent
what does your oil look like?
I havent use light tanks in a long time
almost full
their good for early game cause not alot of nations have anti tank in the early game
although ive been getting the out of fuel pop up when i still have fuel so idk if im just bugged or what
it might be your ships moving and taking up more oil then you can produced
so im the uk and i have my fleet exercising in the north sea, i still have 40 days of fuel but they have no supply
also are your ships in port or a naval base?
the naval supply hub thing
naval ports are the supply
are they docked there?
anyone know where the button went for requesting colonial manpower?
yes
oh ok
so my theory is that the ships Exercising is zapping all the fuel but then when they docked you get oil back but it rinses and repeats so they dont have a stabble supply if that makes sense?
I now have 23 divisions as China
idk nothing makes sense
oh thats your problem
click the portrait of a general, then click the line with an arrow sticking out of it,then double click on where you want to attack and drag
the port is over loaded with ships
do I declare war now or do I wait for more equipment?
biblically accurate italy gameplay right here
you actually have to capitulate the entire soviet union to get Sinkiang 😭
germanies stuff and my stuff
well in my defence you only showed one port
the division is garbage I know
yeah i know
do you have a railroad network to said ports?
lmao nvm
nvm dont answer that
man I WANT to play poland but playing poland sucks
fr
just use space marines
its not even that hard
I dont have the industry for that
yes you do
Light tanks
Ok the blue supply means for ground units and the ones defending are taking all the supply, thats why your ships isnt being supplied
you literally do as poland
Make cheap light spaa
what you put 50 military factories on guns?
2 on AA, 2 on artillery, 5 on support equipment, the rest on guns
SPAA my beloved
POOOOLSKAAAAAAAAAA
this would be easy if I could afford to make larger divisions
show industry tab right now
bit late for that, I got rid of the save but I have my logistics tab
now what
can you send template of said space marines?
it must just be a bug because i have 0 clue why
at this point im all out of ideas
probably is
yeah idk
I swapped all of the 9 battalion infantry divisions poland starts with for cavalry because the bermontian path gives bonuses to cavalry and I still ended up with an equipment deficit
no i mean what factories is on which
wait a second i deleted the big stack and my cruisers got supply
yeah I know thats what you meant but I cant show you because I got rid of the save
What year
I decared in 37 I think
Yeah dont do that
I thought I could kill germany quickly
I figured that out
okay no idk now
so it was the ships overwhelming the port technically
I also figured that out the hard way lol
bruh
i guess kinda but i split up that navy and it still hasnt fixed it
8 infantry 1 light tank(make the light tank design with the most amount of armour you can fit), 1 armoured recon, 1 anti ait
and u can add whatveer support companies u want
put the tank, armored recon, and anti air in support company?
doesnt matter anyways, I had war economy and I was making as many mills as I could and I still didnt have enough for infantry equipment, forget about space marines
just give it another shot but evengly spread the facts out
Guy actually got Ioannina, they've achieved more than Mussolini has in decades
what do you mean evenly spread them out?
I mean I can stream it
this is march 1941 is that faster than mussolini did it
He never got that city
L M A O
Invade Greece now, for the Italy
if anyone wants to watch me play (and fail) at bermontian poland using mass cavalry light tank space marines im in helping lounge 1
granted i also completely lost my african land but still
Guys i don't have negative guns as china
im not doing well compared to better players but im also doing better than irl so like
i guess thats based
Yugoslavia going in lmao
Dont attack and wait a bit
I have a total of 215.20k men
I mean I atleast still have more guns then the germans do
but they actually have supply
I am gonna research more aa tech
Wait the germans are redeploying troops
like say you have 12 mill's and need to produce 4 things pretty much just do division
i had a surprisingly difficult time capitulating the chinas
i got India before capitulating them
yes
I mean China's relatively small now so you can just bum rush their vps along the Yangtze essentially
Naval invade near Shanghai apparently
also you mean anti air right?
hello dolawgs how yall doing
yes
uh
aight thx
the one that breaks plane
i did that and I actually encircled quite a few but like i just get completely bogged down after losing supply from the coastal ports
im new to this game, ive watched many tutorials but idk how to make my troops move 😭
idk i just suck at invading them for some reason, even when getting to India is arguably harder🤧
Yk germany
if you took one of your like
30 divisions off my border
you might actually win against the soviets
one last question, should i delete my starting army as poland or keep it?
😭
slowly change its template to the space marine
got it thx
first playthrough in 1.17 and I am failing the invasion of poland as germany

jesus christ
I see the problem, my best advice is to rush for the cities of Nanchang and Wuhan as quickly as possible, and also to build some trucks to extend supply range from Nanjing
is it just me or has ncns been laggy af
like
hoi4 used to run fine at max graphics on my pc
whats an ncn
now its struggling
ohh bruh
bruh
No Compromise No Surrender
Remember you do get supply from the Yangtze river itself
why are you even here?
@heavy vigil does talking about gunther fehlingee violate the modern politician rule
yea i prob should’ve microed a bit more to get to them but i didnt
i also didn’t produce enough trucks
my last two game after the update, germany sucks lol, i had to invade the soviet as japan cuz they were struggling so hard and abt to die
guys what are good nations for a noob like me
germany, maybe
Canada, Romania, Hungary
i'd say dip straight into the water
?
Germany is probably one of the easiest majors
if you lose, try again
Poland isn't that bad, Italy isn't bad either
you will learn more playing as major
im doing like questionably as italy
Germany needs a lot of mechanics to win
Italy no DLC is one of the better ones
And if you fail, you are just larping
which can be really bad if you dont know what ur doing
i think i just managed to lose against switzerland as italy
and if you suck ansd fail it’ll be ok bcs it’ll be historically accurate
They slowly creep on you… slowly, steadily
this ai put a land warfare facility right on the border where manchuria was and it was deadass the 1st province i take in the war
US is a lot of sitting around doing nothing, but you cant lose
we go a-conquering
Lmao
germany is very easy if you know what you’re doing… which is a lot to ask
abysmal
Problem, new players dont have the experience
this might be problematic
never doing light tank spaa again, this crap sucks
lmao one time i was abt to cap soviet and take stalingard but i need to build 2 smth rails to connect supply hubs but guess what, my mefo hit 100% and i cant build the damm 2 rails that could get me finish up the soviet, i spent almost 2 hrs there 😭
Canada, Hungary, and Romania can piggy back off of the majors and be helpful
You do realise you can help them
i like how italy starts at war with ethiopia
true!
your mefo consumer goods factor has reached 100%
A strategy is to fallback where you have supply and then try to rush down the next supply hub
Once you regain supply
Hoi4 players when told to retreat instead of keep pushing 😮
is it normal to lose on my first playthrough?
(and i was also doing sheep mod)
Extremely
I dont know anyone who won their first game
Did you forget to man the French border
oh hi
i declared war on switzerland but forgot the game on max speed and they took over lombardia in seconds
damm
They havent even killed Greece
My first game ended in stalemate
Yep
mine, i killed france
just not soviet
it took me about 2 hours to settle the war in ethiopia
My second game however I pushed france and then stalemated Soviets I think
Sometimes I just stop all of my trades so that my civs go into construction, but in that case yeah that can be very dangerous
bro i had nth back then, no trade, no construction
I just know my first successful sealion was me playing Romania
im still getting the grasp of things im pretty sure i barely touched 10 hours lol
Dont ask how I got naval superiority
my tank destoryers were getting ripped cuz nth is being built
@hybrid galleon
it was hell
The ai fell asleep or something
mefo is hell
im still not sure how to deploy artillery or tanks
You need to design divisions that use the equipment
oh
As my first run as the guangdomg clique, was it wise to peace out with he axis and give up India? (The axis was Germany Italy, and Britain)
oh they dont come in presets?
light spaa sucks lmao
Presets can design you equipment, but YOU have to design divisions that use the equipment
i mean yeah thinking about it i didnt train anything that wasnt infantry
Yeah especially when your horse can now go 8.4 kmh
im not even sure if i used air support correctly or not
Not even support artillery?
i kept assigning all planes to an army
But yeah there's a dedicated cavalry doctrine now
i mean support artillery yes
I don’t
I used line arty today and I battleplanned Germany with minimal losses
O ok, also anti air is good
just not in huhh idk the word but company? division?
I saw that and now I want to do cavalry and poland has the most bonuses for it but poland SUCKS
where?
how else do i use them?
Nah it’s good
Support artillery is fine, but line artillery is a lot to ask
all I can find is little bonuses here and there
I just throw them over a air zone and let them do their thing
THE SOVIETS HAVE A POSITIVE KD AGAINST GERMANY?
HOW BAD DID THEY NERF THEM
OH MY GOD
that makes sense
Is there a benefit to giving air wings an army?
HOLY HELL
it was all i could remember from the beginners guide
Lollllllllllllll
O ok
I cant find that one
mid 1943
i still havent touched any navy thing
yeah idk what they did to germany
i havent needed ships anywhere
but they FRIED germany
i kinda like the new navy a LOT better ngl
no ncns?
let me guess...
new navy can be annoying tbh
how do i prevent yamamoto from being a dipshit and dying
Eh all you need to know are cheap EXPENDABLE destroyers and BIG AND HEAVY cruisers, also make a specific destroyer to hunt subs, and make a LOT OF SUBS
im not paying 30$ for the "make navy more difficult" DLC, do better next time paradox
is it possible for germany to have over 200 divisions of straight infantry and then go on total mob
It was very annoying at the start though
but once i get it going, it was kinda nice
the soviets killed 7 million germans, and the germans killed 3.5 million soviets
they actually cooked germany AI
what the hell
Wow that’s bad
nevermind its actually 40$ for me
thats what im saying
40 DOLLARS
FOR A DLC
i esp love how the new amphibious landing mechanics works
For me cause I’m in Hong Kong rn I’m using hk dollars… hehe
it's a set amount of day no matter the division
still a little clueless on the production lines since i dont understand where that stuff goes
but, it is a bit annoying not being able to assign each division
like rifles and support equipment go where?
I’m oh it’s in the research
who tryna teach me
possible yes, good no
ohhh
dont see any decisions or focuses that might prevent it
Ye
that stop yamamoto from being dead?
Btw has anyone here completed a warlord run so far?
I did it as the guangodng clique
And then made the Chinese empire
can i take over the entire world as italy?
Light cruiser meta should still work I believe
Yeah sure
🥶
is it difficult?
Yeah
It does
Very easily
it does
i killed the entire US navy just this run
yk
I'm guessing two things, one is that you need to be sure you win, and two you need to have fuel
AI still cant navy to save themselves
Destoyer + Light cruiser + Carrier + Superheavy battleship (stacked AA)
AI
nice i managed to take over ethiopia already but then i got taken over by switzerland so im gonna try again tomorrow
true
Looks at the new DLC... Notices it already has mixed reviews 😭
most of the new naval stuff is good except how absurdly annoying naval range got
Next target should be France and the Balkans
how do i prevent a country from attacking me before i attack them?
yeah it's pretty annoying
there are like no starting naval supply hubs where you want to be naval invading
Switzerland attacked you?
and they take forever to make because you need level 8 ports
which only a few select provinces can even make
Ehhhhhhh maybe
well i declared war on them but left max speed on and they somehow managed to take over north italy in like 7 seconds
sometime, i had to manually change to some obsecure port just to get the range
Did you forget to have troops on their border?
It’s probaly becuase your div templates were bad
Or that
Switzerland is easy pickings in historical
idk why naval headquarters dont simultaneously function as naval supply hubs
that should probably be changed
Oh they don’t?
Ohhhhhh that’s why my ships are getting sunk by the dozens
i moved like 20 infantry divisions near the border but didnt give them any orders or set up an army
Like Switzerland is abysmally defended, Belgium's tougher in a lot of cases
probably unintended but hey paradox is not very smart
I do like the new faction mechanics though
the only good new stuff are faction mechanics and some of the naval changes
rate my encirclement
Not gonna lie playing Random Ai and Fractured is refreshing
Like you can see and choose the goals
Faction mechanics are nice but most of them aren't very impactful, I just complete them to have something to pass the time
Nah guys EAW mod is good trust
noice
and i suppose the doctrine system when it gets fixed
Not bad
there's a problem?
its atrocious in its current state because it pretty much makes micro worse than battleplanning
Where is the button to see the list of factions in the world
doctrine system is in a weird position ig
Not F10
I think it’s really good
so can i like set up a front line before declaring war?
even thouhg it was due to the ai moreso than me i still helped
Menu
20% initiative per militia battalion is very weird
Wait guy what’s the best hoi4 mod
Newly updated map of every country tag
weird balancing and it penalizes micro
The menu shows the ranking of factions?
and if i just dont do anything after conquering ethiopia what happens?
Cause I only play kaiserreich, EAW, and tfr
Maybe they changed it I guess
this map is beautiful
this map also includes reichskommirasats
Oh lime your country menu
I mean I guess you won't lose to Switzerland
tis peak
Because after Brussels signing, it said Allies dropped to second place, but second place behind who
will i do fine even if im not building anything except for civilian factories and military factories?
I couldn't find the list of factions thing
yo
Probably another one, idk
whoever the hell in paradox team
decide to change naval invasions
to 50 days
deserves to burn in hell
like actually
real
Seems realistic to me
so annoying to play japan rn
Yeah, no one executes war goals on Italy as far as I'm aware
No if you have no rubber and oil your cooked if you build no refinery’s
1940 tech plus marine doctrine dropped it to 35
if it's to defeat switzerland as italy, you can just go ahead
literally only reason why japan worked well for me because how fast paced it was
frustrating but real
uk can in their interventionism focus
and germany if they go alt hist
it would be more bearable if the naval invasion cap wasnt so low
if it to play italy, well you can sort of ignore navy by building navy bombers so, yeah civs and mils are okay
ohh okay okay
also austria and hungary
so you could actually make multiple pronged attacks or campaigns
You are able to drop 12 divisions instead of 10 though with first tech
Tiny little buff
bro
it makes island hopping horrible
nice, i dont really understand navy so thats good
do they play test htere own game?
Yeah true, but also the AI is bad at naval invasions
Also logistics hubs and whatnot if you need to, also infustructure
Buff
uk spamming 10,000 naval invasions be like
or invading indo is pain in the ass
I island hopped as the US
didnt do any of that lol, spent like an hour trying to figure out how to get compliance up and resistance down
Worked fine
I liked being able to carpal tunnel syndrome my way out of lengthy naval invasions, unfortunately I can't do that anymore with this DLC. I'm pretty sure paratroopers also got nerfed too? But still should be applicable for paradroppign France
Tad slower than before
somehow i did it and i managed to create italian east africa
Local police force works best for me
better for us than it is japan
but what does the garrison thing mean?
And use the CHEAPEST UNIT POSSIBLE, like one cavalr
It's still just bad
maybe spy too?
japan has longer distance to cover
Me when realism hits the fan
do i have to send infantry and cavalry there?
What unit you hse
Yes, so use the CHEAPEST UNIT POSSIBLE
it was the cavalry icon but im pretty sure i changed it to infantry
LIKE 1 CALVALRY
No Calvary
It doesn’t matter
You will bounce if you have like 2 18-widths on each port plus a reaction force
It was funny being able to send 72 divisions onto the shores of Normandy
also you don't need to defend the Adriatic since that's closed off
The tanks are rolling in
ngl this map of europe hurts so much to look at
no just make a template like 4 calvary smth and set it to garrision
you should be okay
so many capitols that i cant see in germany
What’s the cap now?
You don't even need tanks, you actually do this as China
1 cavalry
Oh
it's so pretty
I made 16 tank divs as China
1940 tech + marine doctrine meant i could do 6 invasions of 12 per
But in MP yeah you need tanks and in SP tanks help a lot
who uses tank for china lol
ill try again tomorrow since im going to sleep now, im gonna take over ethiopia again if i manage to
Me
it's so many mountains
Tank divs? Oh wow you really beat that short-term goal
Cause I untied them as the guangdong clique
For 35 days of planning
insert people crying about getting 15 armored battalions
damm
I untied all of China, so it was easy
it doesnt make sense that less divisions require the same amount of time to plan though
i love that i cant get mad when losing at this game because half the time i dont even know whats going on
Rolled across India no problem
the overall length to prepare naval invasions should be higher than what it was but if im invading with 1 division it shouldnt take 40 days lol
i just do a no tank run with jap for the most part
Huh, makes sense
why even make tank divisions when you can throw 100000 men at the front lines hrmmm
maybe
then that's smth
because tanks fun
although a mountaineer build can be fun too
I have 47 million manpower from coring indochina Korea and some of India lol
I have them too
And marines
i do marine/mountainner mixed build
And paratroopers
peak gameplay
you got to core some of india? oh wow
Yeah, well then I white leached
Cause I don’t wanna fight the British who’s in he axis
Non historical
GOD damn it bro
?
Wat
is there a mod where i can fight the cold war?
i can't even island hoop
"the empire" britain gotta be the most rage inducing enemy ever
im gonna go to a old verison
you gotta go around the world to cap
cant even english
Remember kids, the Pacific Theater lasted from 1941 to 1945
I did spaa space marines because they give armor for your infantry divisions so they take less damage
i feel like it's reasonable though
and regular infantry from latvia pierces my tanks
40 days might seems a lot but
Unfortunate
which army in real life go invade entire countries and plan in just 30 days
You got like 25 armor on your tanks right?
36.9
Agreed
None
only results in 16.4 in my division
Don’t need it
it isn't reasonable in hoi4 tho
“Special military operation”
atleast let me assign more than two naval invasion plans
so then why use spaa when I can use support AA for cheaper?
and japan took indo and malasyia in the first year
and the rest of them just holding it
im waiting 250 days
just to invade malayasia and two indo islands
this shit sucks
Huh that shouldn't be getting pierced
Wat who said I used spaa
I thought you were talking to me, sorry
if cavalry has one thing going for it, its that they are fast
Okay, with 1940 tech, I think you can do 6 invasions with 8 or 10 divisions each
If you don't have marine doctrine
it just annoying bro
You also have Thailand
It is
But I do like my realism
Falklands War happened like that
And that was a very complex one due to the tyrannies of distance
And they also attacked a numerically superior force
argentinia wasn't really
1400's be like:
britain couldn't even do it
without the falkands
they took US aim9's and fuel
aand bases
guys
to do so
yes
Yeah that what i mean
do all the new chinese nations exist without the DLC?
They were in a good position cuz of us
Cheers
Yeah, limited intelligence sharing tbh
Not all, but some
The DLC can't be all that bad as the reviews say, can it?
what countries
WHY IS IT $30 though 😭
Noooo, I think the coal thing is … fine, the doctrines are fine, the new naval ones are fine, and the new focus trees are good
Guangxi, yunnan, communist China, China, Shanxi, Cindi San ma, and sinking
bro why does yamamoto die so damn early
$30 is only $20 cheaper than the game itself 😭
welp, time for round 2'
i am not even 100 days into the war
without dlc none of their focus trees change
Incheon also didn't take a lot of time, and certainly less than 50 days
why am i out of civ factories
I have no idea if this will work or not
Yeah?
very unlikely, the moment the germans attack me with their full army its over
guys im literally going to play kumul khanate
WERE DESCENDANTS OF THE GREAT KHAN RAHH
it says out of the 330 sm mil and civ factories i have, it expects 40% of them to be converted to consumer goods
Kumul what now?
I have no DLCs on for testing
i see
kumul lhanate
New Path for Sinkiang?
its in the easternmost part of sinkiand
a releasable nation
it has the same focus tree as all th other warords
#UyghurPower
actually the kumul khanate are the direct descendants of ghengis khan
they were the last country ruled by ghengises descendants, ruling until 1930
when they got annexed by china
Kumulic Uyghurs?
sure
It's fun to play with and interesting, just not $30 fine.
can u help me
Sorry Kumulik*
rq
sure
i can send a ss
I was assuming the releasable is based off this
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kumul_Rebellion
The Kumul Rebellion (Chinese: 哈密暴動; pinyin: Hāmì bàodòng; lit. 'Hami Uprising') was a rebellion from 1931 to 1934 of Kumulik Uyghurs who conspired with Hui Chinese Muslim General Ma Zhongying to overthrow Jin Shuren, the governor of Xinjiang Province. The Kumulik Uyghurs were loyal to the Kumul Khanate and wanted to restore the heir ...
i think u need more coal
how
So I am guessing coal is a new resource
An alternate fuel source to oil
yeah youre cooked
yep its joever for me
maybe unasign more military factories
welp say g bye to my empire
last time I try to make poland work
i can try
have they just got rid of the option to request manpower?
I wasted my entire night trying to make cavalry poland work just for my spaa cavalry divisions to get pushed by germanies infantry
like bruh
It's in the faction system now
Pretty sure you request MP there, not entirely sure tho
Ugh... Idk what to use my 125k steam points for XD
777 is the number representing god... and 666 the number representing the devil... so in the end, it was always a battle of 6 and 7
i js dipped that save
no winning against the soviets
LOL
Did you notice the duplicate focuses?
my god I was playing sichuan out of boredom and EVERYONE submitted to me
then again who wouldn't
are we getting mail from snails or what?
it took germany 6 weeks to conquer the low countries and france, and i just did it in 11 days
im so pro fr (france is actually just shit)
can you not peace out japan as china if you kick them out of mainland?
Wait... even the old Chinese focus tree mechanic is gone???
What happens if I kill Chiang Kai-Shek?
Idk about in the DLC... but China used to declare war on the Communists
iirc
I dont got the army for that
how in the hell do i expand my rang
meaning it's time to get them
MY SHIPS CANT GO ANYWHERE
I do not know
past polynesia
Huh
How many factories do you have
or how far they can go
2155 factories
so i can invade hawaii
Secure the Northern Resource Area
and bring the emperor victory or something
There's 2 of them with no DLC. Same effect
i cant even get to ceylon because of the naval range limit
and i cant build naval supply hubs to get the range up lol
supposed to be done with naval supply hubs
but you can barely build any
Ah I see
ok but like kumul khanate can get so many cores
all of china mongolia and central asia
Eh, you get double the aluminum
Ctrl right click the port
Range should be calculated from there
the problem is you still have to kill the soviets and xinjiang
i didnt know you could do that
Change the home base of the navy
its kind of like another tannu tuva
pathetic ai
does that penalize me
No
i beat both of them as tanna tuva for flips sake
you start with 2 divisions
Ive always ctrl right clicked ports because that is what I thought you had to do to move ships to ports
I was born ready for this update
idk about khotan ma
none actually
Possibly with supply, but idk
i mean when the war starts
by the time the war starts ill probably have at least 8 div
My 1940 germany being forced to demobilize because of a lack of coal.... fantastic
there is not enough coal in the world to fuel the industry
No trading?
I think Hungary just screwed themselves over here lmao
tbh i havent found coal to be an issue at all
