garrison isnt even that bad as japan
Unless you're in that war you dont have a screen for it
So im not gonna be getting 2000 pp for Christmas🥲
AI Italy being AI Italy
im not sure if I should go with nazi germany or imperial germany, I dont like MEFO bills so im doing prioritize economic growth
I think ill do imperial germany so I can make mittleurope
When will paradox add the resource bar and the number of buffs-nerfs in construction tab 😭
i want em in ironman modeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
PEG is unplayable this patch
why?
I did it and have extreme regret
no coal
I am forced in 1944 civilian economy
due to the lack of coal
what do you mean no coal? germany starts with 259 coal by default?
coal made the game worse
I really haven’t noticed a difference yet
trust me it's not enough
I guess you could conquer the USSR and the UK, both have tons of coal
then again I haven’t made it to 1948 once even though I have 4k hours
doesnt matter
Wtf are these borders 🤮
at that point the game is over after killing the,
you use it for civs too i think
someone also said that civilian reactors reduce consumption by 25%
so it would use coal for that
Doesn’t matter
I can own all of Western Europe and Northern America and still be low on coal
^
if anything this should be a case of PEG being good because your only limiting factor is how much coal you can extract
I am on civilian economy...
in 1944
and zero oil as a result of that
due to coal shortages
because PEG gave you so many factories
no lol
peg is actual ass now
4yp spawns in coal
why are you so bad at the game
well peg doesnt
how much does it spawn now
what's your problem?
a few hundred
yeha imo thats far better
So does mefo
iirc
unpopular but based opinion
why doesnt fuel subsitiute
because coal is needed for an industrial society, especially during that period
oil is more for vehicles
well no actually
well
coal was being replaced by oil on a huge level
there are still some places where you couldnt use fuel
but it was being replaced
then just make it so you can use oil after a certain tech?
Either of ways, Coal wasn't needed 🗣️🔥
the only reason why some nations didnt use fuel was because they didnt have enough
yes
which will get people to actually research the fuel stuff
ngl if you could use oil in place of coal that would just make the US even more OP
even if it is realistic
but, to balance it out
4YP is all you need as the nazis, if you are doing alt history you should to PEG but 4YP + cancelled MEFO + price controls gives you a better industry and you can keep war economy from civil war. Therefore there is no need for PEG
you can only use the oil refinery in places where oil actually is
it still has the biggest amount of coal than anyone in the world in game
the oil refinineries are synthetic
not real fuel
that too, it would be the only nation that has basically unlimited economy growth like pre NCNS
well it runs out of build slots
ah that makes sense
maybe add both then
a means to extract actual oil better
thats true, fortunately there are plenty of extra building slots beyond your borders
and a more expensive synthetic option
well if you are going historical, then not so much
literally zero people play alt history USA
I do
i have like atleast 200 hours on US
facist im assuming?
although it boils down to conquer north america and then do USA stuff
zero point in going communist
yep
well
enough to get the war goals
and then flip back
you can do so with the monroe doctrine
most of the time south america is mostly not democratic
well, you lose out on alot of stuff if you go facist
unfortunately
however the USA is good as is
simply due to geography and resources
so the extra land you get from wargoals is worth it to me
well
not really
the give up tons of things for a few wargoals isnt worth it
im nto going to stop you
yes, but I get to manifest destiny my way from baffin island to panama
so thats worth it in my book
Hey yall I just started playing game fr
what does this watch with a red dot mean
hoi4 became more realistic 😴
it means you should INCREASE SUGAR EXPORTS
It's mean you should do it fast or I die because I need sugat
Here's an idea
Sugar
bloat
which turns into plutonium that can be produced in the state you build the facility in
merge coal and oil
have a blanket "fuel" that does both factories and fuels stuff
add lumber as a resource
which is used when building stuff that needs wood
including railways
this is fine for nations like russia or norway that are forested
but for nations like Bhutan this is a problem
so they have to trade if they want to build railways
add gold as an actual resource
Oh shit
Hell nah
Yes, I'm a sugar addict
just play black ice, no none wants more bloat in base game
coal is bad enough as it is
I'm not asking for every metal to be its own thing
the japanese cw is hard asf
japan capped before el salvador
I just think resources could be a little refined
so "fuel" merges coal and oil
then install a mod called black ice
Why Iron with coal and fuel tho?
Oh
merge chromium and iron
have it be just "light metals"
and rename tungsten to "heavy metals"
which would include lead
also add "radioactive elements" as a resource
the comments on the NCNS trailer LMAO
Last one is so accurate 😭
My beautiful Mexico strategy is ruined
Very true
they don't fuel the same thing though, that'd be weird to play with.
Same with chromium and steel, they aren't made for the same production lines.
The current resource system is honestly good because it shows interest in some regions in the world (based on historical productions for the most part too). The issue is more linked to resource distribution (especially in africa)
ok so im polaying th enew dlc, how am i supposed to reach anything
CTRL + Rclick on a port
LMFAOOOO
your range will start there
the world is burning (only been 7 months btw)
was gotterdammerung good?
it's good enough
well i wish i knew that
Eh. Added a lot of bloat
No Step Back 🥵
BBA was fine
for £25 you can buy another game
But I liked BBA, GDM and AAT
I pay for DLC
DLC should be £5 tops
buy minecraft for that
I would pay even for 15$
Paradox's issue is lack of long term competition
More than that, It has to be good asf
they have a monopoly on the grand strategy market
if you don't take into account balance issues then GTR was good enough (decent price for decent content and few problematic bugs)
the last good DLC was probably Arms against tyranny which is toe to toe with No Step Back as the best DLC so far (huge content, correct price, very few problematic bugs)
don't like HOI4? there aren't too many similar games of quality not made by them
That's why they make the stupid decisions they're making and they don't care lmao
on accessible GSG
there are quite a lot of other GSG but they're either underwhelming or downright require you to take 100+ hrs to learn the basics
Gary Grigsbys war in the east
that does look good actually
war thunder 🤣
War thunder is peak
there is some overlap
(It’s an abusive relationship)
ww2 nerds have a lot of stuff to go through
Guys
War Thunder is peak when im not playing
grand strategy gamers don't have as much
I think invading Britain is impossible
When Im playing is dogshit
Wish there was more diplomacy for territory, don’t wanna go to war with the Reich over a single state when we’re both friends
no it wasn't
plane designer was ass and all base designs are awful. The meta is also extremely punishing and AI is so bad that it even makes the game easier in SP
focuses are meh at best : italy is good, ethiopia and the sultanate are basically boring after ethiopian war, no matter the paths and switzerland is just pure pain
DLC was loaded with bugs and balancing issues too and it adds templates you cannot even disband for some reason
What's that
No, just skill issue
British are still fairly ez
How do u do it then
Im still fairly new
Panzers go broom broom
Make navy
That explain
Then naval invade
That’s cope. Plane designer is 10x better than spending 400 xp upgrading a plane
What should I build up on
But yeah if ur new u won’t be able too
I think swimming tanks should give naval dominance
What type of ships
Why? 😭
The type with guns
Tanks shouldn't
What ships do i build up on
I made like 8 carriers then spammed destroyers
It worked
4000 of these vs the Iowa, who wins
CVs 🔥🥵🥵🥵
Iowa for sure 😭
Prob the Iowa
Regardless of if other games are good, people still buy paradox games over them
Just use the AA guns
Those Ka Mi are dogshit (Like almost all Japanese tanks ngl)
it isn't
it just takes way more research for no value (except CAS and funny strat bombers designs)
Game is way easier in singleplayer with the DLC on because AI's so shit, in MP it blocks you in the same Meta (same argument can be made of all designers to be fair, but planes are extremely punishing as, if you're lacking 1 stat in something the trade will get horrendous) and made it extremely hard to progress in as a new player because of this
so there isn't any meaningful competition
xbox and playstation are competitors to each other
there is no playstation for paradox's xbox
I really like building ships but making a navy is suck a pain
the brand name is important
Japans fascist tree can softlock when you go for the Chinese Alliance while the USSR goes non-communist.
You cant take the focus for the Alliance but also are already locked into the branch.
What's the best template for carrier and destroyer?
roblox rise of nations
no clue
if you arent the US/UK/Japan there really isnt a point to building a navy because you'll never beat their starting navies
canada navy with japan boosted as hell is fun
Some AA and guns and torpedoes
or canada navy in Oak mod
Can u send a ss?
Max out deck space
Make nav bomber
Canada will always sound fun
Unfortunately I've never taken the time to really play it
Can u slide ss?
And I did half torpedo only destroyers and 1 half light attack destroyers
Oh
like, you can build maybe 2 or 3 battleships before the war starts if you devote your entire economy to making dockyards and buying chromium/steel, but you still need a ton of screens for them
The biggest issue with it is like you said ai doesn’t know how to use it. That Pdx fault for not knowing their own game though
Not on rn and I don't have the dlcs my self
that is closer to what tesco's biscuits are to digestives
destroyers are only to be used as convoy escort (you'll produce them or refit existing ones) or as meatshield in fleet (you won't produce them)
carriers you just stack as much deck space as you can with AA
How many dockyards do u have by the time ww2 starts?
and all the majors you fight start with double that in their damn starting navys, forget about the ones they build
yes, which makes it a bad mechanic
I'm convinced that no dev plays his game 💀
just like minecraft
What's AA?
anti air
Alr thx
At least Minecraft is still enjoyable
carriers are priority targets to enemy planes in battle
That makes all the designers bad then because ai can’t use any of them properly
Technically
Yes
if im germany I have a choice of making a strong airforce and army or making a strong navy, I cant have both
It would even be a hard fix you’d think. Probably just a few lines of code and they make actually good stuff
Slap a gun on it than its a better aa van
I mean, yes, never said otherwise
I don't think they're inherently bad but they have definitely been rushed. When you see what modders can do with it (see SFU or Oak2 air designers do it) it is just a bad implementation
concept's good, application is terrible
I can open war screenes through world tension tab
That's how I was able to see the war between the axis and allies
Thats a thing????(
Hence, why people want better ai. In player hands they’re all very good
I'm pretty convinced that HOI4 has plenty of potential but the devs are lazy asf
Uh like 60 or so
yeah?
doesn't fix the lack of balance and 1 meta-system that's there rn
O alr
there was literally no other way i could see soviet casualties
Why if playing sp sheep mod is must
I did not know that, I have now learned 2 new things
It shouldn't be a mod 😭😭
I just won the German Civil War now what ?
If sheep could, what stops a dev team?
Well, Pdx refuses to fix it themselves so the community did it for them
Yep
you never stop learning new mechanics in this game
Depends what you wanna do, Spartacus is a really fun path
and it's more than just AI
Fair
What do I use to invade Britain then
Paratroopers and marines
It's the only good thing about Paradox
Research carriers
And a big ass navy
And build
Mod support is great
What abt for getting naval supremacy
I only recently found out that naval bombardment has a cap
Yeah
Cheap destroyers, nav bombers, and battle ships
Which kinda sucks although it did get buffed in the latest update
You have dlcs ?
Which one
Man the guns
I have man the guns
the wilingness to not see more "I died on poland, this is my 12th playthrough" posts on the reddit
which, to be fair, is a good reason
but they could at least code it in for one of the higher difficulties instead of stupidly debuffing the player
Yea
Cheap destroyers and good battle ships mixed with 1 or 2 ac and nav bombers
What's ac
Real
Wait
That’s base game now
It carries aircraft
Hoi4 Germany speedrun guide on how to defeat the Allies as fast as possible in By Blood Alone / v1.12. I'm working on a longer video rn, so this is just a quick fix until it's ready.
This Hearts of Iron 4 campaign was played with all DLCs, on Ironman and historical. Technically there's a faster way by waiting for the UKs guarantee on Yugo befo...
Reddit is so ass tho
@worn hollow
Reddit is funny
Sometimes, and useful too
But In my experience it's usually where stupid people get together 💀💀💀
My fault for staying on Discord
I wouldn’t ever call reddit useful. Especially true if hoi4 subreddit
Yeah
Let me fix what I said
Make them
AT LEAST for CK3 is useful
Ig too 😞💯
Dont I have to research them?
Yeah but its worth it
Alr
I never made a Carrier
Should I build convoys or no
Some
How many dockyards should I put on them
If you don't now navel build a submarine fleet
Like 5-10

Average hoi4 player
💔
do yall reccommend trial and error or watching tutorials
Just watching videos is good doesn’t need to be tutorials for singleplayer for multiplayer trial and error but stay at the end of the game when people check builds
I’m mostly going by trial and error at this point
yo
It’s not going terrifically, but I’m getting further with each run
im trying to refit my ships but they are paused for sm reason
why wont they refit?
I actually managed to conquer Greece last time
As Italy
Automatically meaning im better than mussolini
you trynna feel some resistance in my cores
What i was saying about this dlc??
Japan if it locked in
Fr
Ngl
the dlc is good
i might buy it
and stop playing on someone else's acc
at least he is off
new douglas macarthur portrait looks amazing
Douglas ‘nuke everyone’ MacArthur
Actually
I heard he might be the fastest way to get nukes
Of course he is
So I'll go for the Cobalt Sea Achievement with him
I’m not even vaugely suprised
really i thought it was a dumpster fire considering the price
have they worked the kinks out already
the last two dlcs just extinguished any enthusiasm i had for the game
Do I need dlc for facist America
and their financial policy
No
it's in man the guns
but it's base game now
GGR was peak
GoE not so much
So what point is the game realistic like can I take over any country as any country?
i mean ncis and graveyard
Like are their countries in the game we’re all just never be able to really do anything with them
NCNS i enjoy it for now
gutterdung wasnt that good either looking back at it
dumb wolfenstein new world order shit
but i am not playing on my acc
research facilities are ass
not good but funny
raids are useless
you cant use map mods anymore bc the water turns green??
oh no, china is imposing a naval blockade on the byzantine empire
This can be quite serious
This is a permanent embargo
The AI can undo it, but it will never undo it
the new PH raid is so funny
is there any reason for the US to have ships there yet?
I had some for shits and giggles and my main battle fleet did get knocked out for like a year
Is there a peace out in the Manchurian war for independance?
Larp
man people who do world conquest's are gonna have a rough time with coal kneecapping ur industry after a certain point
even on civilian economy i had to siphon coal from my puppets
say goodbye, baguette people
I also feel like the PH raid should have some modifier that it cant be seen by the US player
unless they have like 100% naval intelligence or something
ok so when im playing the US i cant send my ships to the UK anymore, theyll dock but literally do nothing when i order like a strike force
or patrol
What do you have the home port set at for the fleet
theyll convoy raid
no idea LOL\
i sent em to a british port in the EC\
they wont do nun
sometimes I think if you accedently forget to get rid of an operatonal zone the fleet will find a port in between that doesnt work for either
if its set on auto
ahhh
💜 💜 💜 💜
gotcha
Weakest greece playthrough
Did u look at this thing
yoooo. what's the best 2025 mod?
TFR in my opinion
i hope tfr will get an update soon, the new DLC broke it
literally docked in england
What's the fullname?
The Fire Rises
Good but no Spania
thank you! which country is good to expand
uhh, russia is pretty strong
its telling me theyre too far WHYEN THEYRE DOCKED IN ENGLAND
ahh okay, ich probiere Russland mal aus. Danke
Show picture
is this overkill?
Like of the whole screen
best combat width?
Bro
It depends
- if you have a HUGE industry and weaponry then 30-36
tanks 36
dover huh?
Yeah
literally cant find dover
Or whatever “greater London area” is
not on the list
Give me a screenshot of that screen please
What about the 3 options up top
for huge infantry?
The 2 above docking rights
OHHH
if I am going to be attacking with infantry space marines would be most optimal for the armor stat
but then there is a question of SPGs or regular tanks? (medium of course)
SPGs have higher soft attack making this division more useful against other infantry but it has lower breakthrough and SPGs get like one bonuse from doctrines (assuming only specifically SPG buffs actually apply to SPGs, I think regular tank buffs dont apply to them just regular tanks)
normal tanks have a bit lower soft attack but higher breakthrough so you take slightly less losses on the offensive
don't do space marines
but then if I am making tanks going no faster than 4km/h then I might as well make heavies
I try to make dedicated tank divisions but I find that I dont make enough pairs of them to work across a large frontline so I end up pushing with my infantry anyways
Ok who are u playing as
so why not put the tanks in my infantry so they are better at pushing and I take less losses, I tried the concept as monarchist sweden and it worked pretty well
f this achievement
not sure yet, ive been playing european nations as of late like germany, sweden, belgium, poland
Thats what I did as italy but I used tank destroyers and they worked pretty well even down in Africa
You are able to do tanks as basically anyone
Try finland
I would use tank destroyers but support AA is usually strong enough to handle AI tanks
btw how does this stupid new naval system even work
already did, I got obliterated by the soviets because 0 manpower (I tried historical)
Ahhh
patrol increases your naval dominance, strike force multiplies it (somehow) and convoy raiding reduces the enemies naval dominance
Yeah thats what im using in my current germany run and its doing good
legit idk what kinda crack paradox is smoking
I prefer this one cause you only need 250-500 dominance to naval invade
paradox developers when its been more than a year since they completely reworked a game mechanic (they completely missed the point why the previous system sucked and made it suck differently)
Yeah, its dominance instead of superiority
average japan game
How do i achieve that
You need a patrol and strike force
Oh thanks
Kamakazi
No problem, its pretty easy once you understand it
Yeah its annoying tho
Does it make it easier to gain dominance ?
so basically divide screens to patrol forces set them on no engage and you can still stack your navy and put it on strike force and that works?
like instead of old system ?
Just 1 ship on patrol ig
Yeah it does, you can naval invade the uk more easily
Thank god
and submarines are still busted as usual?
I just did 1 and it worked this was in east north sea
Because strike force takes the dominance you have from patrol and multiplies it
I use them to kill capital ships now
cruiser subs with radar and catapults seem like the perfect scouts now
Say you have a patrol force of 20 subs and 20 destroyers and a strike force that has the rest of ur ships, the number of dominance you get from the patrol ships will be multiplied by the strike force
when you dont need to scout an area you can convoy raid with them
Smart idea im taking that
the problem is that you need a naval facility
I did the math and found that destroyers with 2 seaplane tenders and radar have better spotting/IC than cruisers with catapults and radar
though the cruisers have much higher spotting the destroyers are more IC efficient
I rarely use cruisers
spotting/IC is 0.0247 for destroyers and 0.0169 for cruisers using starting tech from the UK
do you just spam torpedo destroyers for your screens?
how do you kill other screens without cruisers?
Nah i put the cheapest gun and make battleships
And aircraft carriers
what are your losses like?
How hard can u snowball starting as one of the really weak countries
Like is it possible to start as Venezuela and eventually challenge the us
interesting, I would have thought losses would be higher without cruisers to wipe out screens
Yeah it just takes time, play as Chile its op
My battle ships have around 10-16 soft attack as well
how many heavy batteries to secondary batteries do you put on them?
I typically put 2-3 heavy batteries and the rest is AA
Ill show you when I get home im at school rn😭😭😭
if one ship sees theses guys its absolutely over
though ive never actually fought a navy with my ships...
set it to "do not engage"
Put them on do not engage
set to never engage and it will be fine
Its fun, I did it as japan and had 10 to 1 loss ratio against the royal navy
In the English channel
also if you notice they get caught in a battle, immediately retreat
yea i know but even on do not engage they sometimes get found it is what it is
I'd also put a leader on it with a higher retreat chance
i think if they have the best engine possible at the time you can usually get away from battles
powerful ai navies always use outdated templates with weaker engines
I wish the ai did navy better its just so easy to destroy the royal navy
imagine if the ai could refit ships
There's gotta be a mod for that
sheeps mod maybe
idk if that does anything to navy
and its probably outdated actually
what do yall think of my most recent run? (On Rt56)
Ima have to install it, maybe ill get better at the game while im at it
oh it adds a bunch of other ai changes
that make the game super hard
they will rush tech ahead of time and license it to their allies
Agrarian Socialism
so by the time youre at ww2 the allies will be using 1942 stuff
MY PC 💔
yea idkwtf india was on
the uk will do anything but defend their coast 💔
Keep in mind we still havent cap'd japan
they need to take japan down WILDLY
germany cap'd in 42
didnt even get out of poland
portugal is obviously more important
so I guess they just ruined germany and super buffed japan
so naval invasion support no longer increases regional control?
yup
honestly this update (No Comp, No Surr) just messed up a lot imo
nor does strike force unless you have fleets patrolling in those zones
so you have to patrol with light ships and have a fleet on strike force in the same region?
it made germany far too weak, japan way too overpowered, messed up most of the navy
which is dumb because it means you cant use stuff like radar anymore
and dont get me wrong I like a challenge
that seems like a reasonable change
but
yes
dude you literally cant sea lion anymore
like
you almost cant
to the point where youll be at the end of the game
before you have a chance at naval dominance over britain
japan was not doing ts in 1948
is CL meta still?
Last year i was plaing fortnite in chill... Now i am addicted tò Monster, cs gambler and play hoi4 glow up?
You become a better person
Glow up
Hahahaha
Gambling is second only to hoi4
I am only 14 and i am like this Is It normale?

absolute cinema
Hey ive got a gambling addiction and im 17😂
my best friend spent 250 euros infront of me gambling in middle of a uni lecture
My design is better but yours is really good
btw when you puppet reorged china gov when does it start coring china because if i give it the entirety of the country resistance just goes through the roof
its dec '41 and ive had china for like 3 years by this point should i just keep it
you know what legit surprises me? there are people who have never drunk, smoked, or dated anyone at an age of 23
Such a young age
Compared to them turtles
Anyone got a good japan guide?
Im muslim bro i cant do that shi
now that usa doesnt join alles there is no point in declaring on usa before capping uk
corny
Must be a boring life😔
Nah chill as hell
what?
the usa does join the allies
wdym
1
Beat i'm 14
So question. Whats the meta for space marines now? What doctrines and templates? Merely or achievement grind of course
yea i need a new navy guide i dont understand anything to the new naval invasion etc stuff
Guys how do i win?
dont
Haha
Oky sorry
1945 germany and civilian economy is not enough for coal

it literally joins the allies the moment you declare war or like a few days later
wait is america starting in its own faction a dlc thing only
it never has for me
its not
i was playing as japoan 5 minutes ago and it did
i declare on britain and usa does nothing
u gotta do pearl harbor thing then prob
what is it?
why is the AI in this game so greedy holy shit
You gotta wait till japan attacks the usa
why would i do pearl harbor then
LMAO
to attack the usa duh
Theres a mod that fixes that
but you can also not do it
jesus china
and kill the allies first
what the actual ####
Im literally switzerland
what the hell am I supposed to do with 247 war score
what would you need land in japan or asia for
LMAO
Im so glad player led peace conferences exists 🥀
atp just play w player peace led conferences 💔
Ong bro id die without it
I was playing japan the besy i ever had and Portugal have to ruin it join the Axis and declare war now i have the Allies And Axis how it possible Portugall wasnt him supposed to join Allies??
I took some of spain by accident
Took land with the ONLY resource I have an abundance of (steel)
What year is it
45
Germany probably did the focus that invites them to the axis
Oh damn
I feel like ive done pretty good as swtizerland
considering im literally switzerland
I helped germann bro with my medium tanks again USSR and. It took german less than one year to finnish soviets , i saved the finns too
Ahhhhhh that makes sense
Now they have all russia and i have to deal with that supply stuff un northen manchuria
Who doesnt know the alpine canton of andalusia
WAIT SPAIN HAS NO GARRISONS
IF I JOIN THE WAR I CAN TAKE ALL OF SPAIN VIA GARRISON
You should've declared on Russia as well and gave manchuko some land
TERRITORIAL EXPANSION 🤤
LMAO
Well i saw something that if u go to war against USSR you got you got decision that if you took some some territories in northern Manchuria you can end the war easy with a Soviet and
You can get all the northern Manchuria
Yeah you can very op especially since manchuko can core all of china
And i like new dlc ,u can take mongolia without war same as british bruma , tibet, nepal
Yes its a good update playing as china is a pain though
You mean the nationalist one?
Ye
I just ate half of spain
I should try that
Damn
we will win 💪
You'll have negative 30k guns
Naval invade the uk
Very good
Yeah i died 5 times in a row
pls wtf i do
took me until 1945 to beat the uk as japan
i can not parchute or navy invasiobn
naval invade northern france
o
why my focus tree loks different even though I dont have any DLC? all the youtubers that usess vanila have different focus tree
mostly bc it took me forever to figure out how to use the new naval system
also i did fight the soviets
Billions have died
I dont feel like fighting the soviets so ill end here
its only 48, its so early I believe in you
Ive already achieved my true swiss desires
fighting the soviets or the americans in 48 is a death wish tbh
Ngl I played swiss 3 times for the achievements and never again
legit i have no chief of army as fascist philippines lol
Billions must die, I once fought Fascist russia china and fascist USA on same team as finland and won, I was playing till 78 or something
Where should i naval invade
i rarely play past 46 or 47
the south
Your not getting the full pain experience
portsmouth? or maybe dover is better idk
wait imma try find screenshot
what i did was take portsmouth and dover then i let the uk waste their manpower and equipment on me
i wasnt able to push but i was able to hold and not get pushed out
so naval invade portsmouth, rush dover and then let uk grind themselves down
yes
I was wrong it was denmark the white colour made me remember wrong
if u have subs convoy raid them around great britian
Wait its only till 58? I swear I had a game till 78
Imma try and find it in my mess of screenshots
imagine loosing to a fleet consisting of panzerschiffe and pre-dreadnought battlecruisers

what shud i play as first game on millenium down?
I dislike the new doctrines, naval system and coal
Pls
what even is the new naval system
why are my boys not getting supploed
does hungary have a death wish
you stacked 10 tanks and 20 divs
it was the creeper and the skeleton 😢
they are starving
good point
That is quite a bit democratic support
ther is no supply in the world that can support a stack like that on a single tile
those divisions are absolutely cooked
😭
Doctrines are overall better, they just need to increase mastery %. Navy is as easy as ever. Coal if fair
how does the new navy system work
Patrol and strike force
i've just grasped the basics
now shits changed
Happens every year they introduce something new
I just dont like the strike force/patrol/naval invasion support changes
god forbid I dont want my ENTIRE FLEET on the water at all times 😭
and if you use strike force it only multiplies
wilted rose moment
but mostly i really dislike having to wait 50 days for a naval invasion
yes to generate but not to keep
well sorry you cant project power with a fleet sitting in port
I mean in real life, that’s what they did though
Pls what shuld i play as First game on Millennium down?
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
worst dlc ever
Pls what shuld i play as First game on Millennium down?
in real life u coudlnt annex the world yet here we aer
taking a tiny island with 1 div will take 50 days??
Pls what shuld i play as First game on Millennium down?
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Depends
usually i would recomment one of the bigger nations
Like?
Guatemala
You can. For this dlc just take like some destroyers or cruisers on patrol. Tell them not to engage capital ships. Then main fleet on strike force. Ez
Ah so same as old navy meta
Almost. No need for patrol really before
china, the US, Germany etc (russia might be harder depending how stabile NATO stays)
who needs these tactics if you can just slowly defeat the british navy?
thankyu i make germany
Well u used to patrol to try to kill enemy flret
But yeah
i havent lost a single ship with that fleet
(dont question the pre-dreadnoughts, i made them as a joke-)
Tbf, killing enemy fleet never really mattered much. Just need those capitals for shore
I did it for mogging purposes in mp games
I wish there was a way to collapse the icons stacking like that, with the allies it gets unbearable even in 1942
Outputting mad numbers, poor soviets bro
FINALLY A SAVE WHERE I DONT GET INSATNLY STOMPED
although this save my navy is doing way worse
How do u even conquer in this game
make a front line and then offensive line and get cooked by ai?
welp, italy was ofcourse being an idiot, time to switch sides now 😉
No carriers moment
Also wym nvm. You won the naval battle there?
my divs get crushed as soon as i land
i send over infantry but they just get get supplied in time to hold
trying smth new
I have seen these two portraits more often than my parents
its working
why do some have no names
ITS WORKING
Hoi4 devs PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE DONT get rid of macOS support if/when hoi5 releases as Yall lowk been doing with recent games I play on Mac and my windows pc from 2021 DOES NOT run paradox games well and I don’t want to buy a whole machine for hoi5

New navy update makes it easier to invade the uk
Omg Canada is so easy to play literally afk simulator
hey i need a bit help

I wish I could play Hoi4

Yeah I had a nation renaming mod on that was it
Are you automatically a femboy if you play Hearts of Iron 4?
I wouldn't say hoi4 caused it
But who knows

Math ?

Planes dont have enough range
