Pdx killed micro planning when it first released. They added a new feature for it now though
too low hp and org
go help them
You're not covering your whole front too
that was from ages ago
Oh no its been out for a week and it has bugs its the end of the world
It's not great, it's just alright. And every new DLC is going to have bugs that need to be sniffed out... and if you use dozens of mods... like FeedbackGaming said, don't review the game.
a better frontline would be to select your field marshal and then shift left click. Been using that and it works wonder
And they just die cuz they can't reinforce
i got one here
yes thats what i did
lmao
Or retreat if I don't use desperate defence
oh nice
the colour of it is just black and blends in with my land
second encirclement
bro seriously they dont want to attack me
whats your air map looking like
i had superiority but lost it
the battle for german hegemony
bro why dont they wanna attack me
I got 0 planes on the front line😂
Gotta build more fighters, i think thats the issue
What's Italy doing?
idk
Enternal nation
ur supposed to do big encirclements before battleplanning
bro plsssssss someone help
yea thats what i told him
their army is way to big to instantly battleplan
this is so cursed
Ive lost 6,175 equipment and the axis has lost 164,926 while slamming men into my walls😂
Why
what are your logistics looking like
Ok I'll just go learn EU5 as my city ig, cuz idk how to fix that, I don't think I can get more cars before 1940
the capital of the imamate is in north ossetia
No its Chechnya Ingushetia
Ita kaiserredux
Mountain republic
click the horse 2 times to change logistics from horse to motorized, should improve logistics better
Imamate path
22w aren’t very good sized divisions. Try 16w instead
Also then Vladikavkaz was Chechen-ingusheten
I see
yeah this region has historically been shared between the ossetians and the ingush
i went back to right before invading and i just didnt attack at all
Raid button
they have 10x more casualties than me
Yeah
Its in the raid things
Press the nuclear button and select a tile
I was told to do as big width as possible(perfectly would be 50 width), I'm not pushing with them, my goal is just defend Luxembourg until the Germans are weak enough so I can create some tank divs from the free men from the Marx portrait and then push
raid things?
In the bottom right
And bigger width divisions should have way bigger defence, no?
Its got a plane parachute and nuclear icon
I'm playing as Luxembourg btw
Nah 25 width is the sweet spot
I wanted to try holding Luxembourg against Germany
this means i have a nuke right
Wasn't it 32w?
Don’t listen to whoever told you that, smaller widths are better at defense, bigger widths are better at attacking. That being said the best width for attacking are around 36w
Also wrong
im pretty sure 32w is meta atm
25 for defending
Ye
is ts vanilla
But why are smaller width better at defending?
No. Stop spreading misinformation
Hi.
. Anyone know if the “Appeal to Imperial Loyalists” Focus still screw the UK over if they try to form the imperial federation later on?
I don't remember tbh
Ive got 25 width divisions rn and I haven't lost any land ive defended
Better at reinforcing and you can also stack more and more support company stats on. Plus they typically fit better into terrain widths
5 more and it'll be 100
Just because you can beat ai doesn’t mean it’s not suboptimal
I'm playing as Luxembourg so I need fewer stronger divisions otherwise cas gets stronger, no?
which plane should i select
Wrong image💔
do u have tanks
yes???
and what is your logistics tab looking like
uhh i guess i need air superiortiy
Which ever one has a smaller negative number or higher positive number, train a plane till you cant it cant gain more xp
The one that is closer to a positive number
alr
i'm gonna train some amerikabombers
Never do high risk, it doesnt give any higher chances
I love German names
Division size doesn’t matter unless you only like 1-2. in a single battle is it is capped at three times the enemy's combat width in that battle, adjusted for terrain
Yeah and I have 2 divisions for each of my tiles as Luxembourg
And lvl 4 forts in both
Did you fail in Ethiopia
No I left it ASAP to begin paradroping france tbh
Forts are also kinda worthless unless for coastal ngl. Better against insure but still not worth the investment
He probably followed that YouTube guide where they abandon Ethiopia to skip a few focuses
Also i wanted
Papal path
For achievement
What am I supposed to do as Luxembourg then?
Mechanised has the best defence and good overall stats
So forts should help
we cooking or?
You do the pope path with success in Ethiopia
Well I mean it’s hard to play as them since they aren’t a very good country. If you’re new to the game I wouldn’t even play them at all yet
I already did that, I want trying holding Luxembourg against Germany without conquering the Benelux first
How?
But go for Benelux first
I have 1100 hours btw
It'll be locked up
By doing the required focus?
I already did that I'm telling you
Ive done it before
Only srusoloni path will be abaible
Available*
Kill Germany or France then
Which one is that?
Success at Ethiopia focus?
No?
Yes?
But to do that I need to hold Luxembourg first
All 3 paths are open with success in Ethiopia
Like my third playthrough and i still have no idea of what im doing..
Anyone has an idea of what I need to do? I’m pretty new
Use Indonesian template so that 90 percent of that div is Indonesian manpower
Rly?
Yeah you just have to do the triumph in Africa focus
(also I formed the Macedonian Empire as Greece in the king's path but I don't have a screenshot of that)
Okay
Make sure you look to see what focuses are required before you intentionally fail a war
When I did that I didn't even need Indonesia, I was able to hold just by my space marines. Also I didn't use paratroopers just in case if you did
Paratroopers are once again closing the sun
You can get it done it a month
for the british empire
In fact I've never used paratroopers in my 1000 hours of hoi4
Space marines?
Infantry with 1 tank added to it
Garnisons
So it gets a lot of armour
Ohhh
Use cavalry and put the priority on low
But doesn't it take long?
Still too much
Like paradroping is faster
Even a single cavalry battalion?
I had 4 front war
I knew what will happen
Romania, chehoslovakia, France and Britain
It took me a few weeks to a month to take out Belgium since it caps once you take 1 big city. 1 coordinated push when the Belgian army is weak and it's dead. Paratroopers are too easy.
And i didn't use yugo divs bcs it'll give them autonomy then
You can set reinforcements to high priority and the garrison wont use equipment
And space marines are too so I decided to try holding against Germany as Luxembourg without space marines or paratroopers
I just got hoi4 and paradox already changed the navy system :<
New navy is so trash
Do you got air superiority
there are no air bases near japan
that i can use
Not worth
for my fighters
Bro just naval invade France
Paradrop*
Build some then?
I did it
What territory in the east do you have?
🥀🥀🥀🥀
And you even paradropped it, that's even cheesier than naval invading
Yeezzz
Same with Britain
And Romania
And cheho
LOL
Why would you airdrop Romania??
It literally joins the Allies
Okay i lied
Ok
But cheho,. France and Britain i rly did
But why Czechoslovakia?
Bruh I need the allies to do dday
It joins the Allies anyways
Couldn't break trough
Oh ok
Britain joined late
little does japan know, his 3k fithers are nothing compared to my 10k
That 8.8k
Can someone explain to me how to optimise manpower and make the most and best divisions because im 3 plays in and still have no idea of what im doing...
ПАСХАЛКО
In my game I killed Ethiopia, naval invaded France and it died(I don't like using paratroopers), then used my new big navy to invade the UK and get The Little Entente as they joined the Allies
Very specific number...
And then I took out Greece and Turkey and Spain and formed Rome
I got like 1.2k fighters
Why un don't like paradroping?
Too easy
I didn't mean that
Well I was speedrunning
anyone got some active mp servers
And I mean what's the point if you instantly kill anyone you fight
like more comp oriented or historical
The other way you at least fight them
I was speedrunning, if i didn't i probably use mine fav mountaineers
To push France
Im an mountaineer to
we have increased our odds significantly
after throwing 5k fighters at him
Anyone know how much every main DLC is total?
200+
roblox hoi4 ripoff lumfao
Oh main
hello
holy i am so relieved
making a central powers victory map, any suggestions?
Yeah I’ll just do subscription
Am I cooking guys
i think quitting mockgov was the best decision
is this optimal?
what i have so far (yugoslavia and bulgaria are at war)
Needs more planes
Based derpatment is calling for crushing syndies, pacifics, fascists and longists
Very basic
my fighters r nub smh
How do get hitler to throw the rest of his men at my wall?
fr
HOLY FLASHBANGH

American Caesar❤️❤️
2nd button
Hey thanks for help.
truly (i cant even push 1 tile into ussr as germany in any type)
isp is tweakin
Ah yes I have "low manpower" with 1.34 million man power

as ussr that is low manpower
Whats ur situation?
Im on limited conscription
too low
Defending as the ussr from the germans
Nah i haven't even lost 100k men
Так твой ник ещё и Колчак ❤️
Fr
Yeah im just holding behind a river that goes through the country
Achievement run or?
me when airforce
Nah im just playing but what achievement is there?
i dont like the man next to the flag there
Why didn't you nuke china???
Hmm interesting.
the president didnt let me
But you didn't listen to him when pushing to China
thats why he fired me
Many
Interesting next time ill play without mods and with iron man on
yo
Yo
i remember i only won the russian civil war ONCE in hoi4
as white russia
after that i established SERGEY TABORTISKY REIGN 😭🙏
One of them is not loosing any starting state untill 45
I definitely failed that I let Germany take alot of land
he still looks like mr eban tho
If it's poland or baltics its fine
true
So much propaganda
U need to conquer Germany untill allies take its cores
Are you russian?
no
So id have to make offensive units
So ur Ukrainian?
Than where are u from
True
spain
And u know russian?
ive heard stuff about the chechens
orthodoxy
Based
my favourite tsar of russia is nicholas II
Abhramic religions on top
I don't have favourite Russian tsar
Pretty much every tsar hated us
true
If we don't count pre 1600 tsars tho
Bet they even knew we existed
I thought germany was strong😭😭😭
More context pls.
After gotterdamerung they always lose historical
what should I be building as a south american minor to help the allies/axis?
Nukes more nukes all
Rip
World conquest as Brazil
❤️
I am missing out NSB, AAT, BBA.
They tend to win against Soviets and Stalemate/Lose against Allies in my games.
Who are they again?
I mostly play on russian language
How did italy get past my wall??????
The Axis/Germany.
Oh okay
Really varies between patches.
Many report that the England even gets naval invaded sometimes.
why isnt turkey naval invading
Ive seen it happen
Do you have active ships?
New naval rework
only in left spot
is there a way to make them do it? they did last game
Usually they invade, if they have clear supremacy.
why not encircling them near Alexandra?
should i stop exercising navy?
Idk tbh
Pretty much ai behaviour
Maybe.
HOI works in mysterious ways sometimes.
Somethimes game bugs, none country cant make normal front lines bcs it glitched and i get free munich as chehoslovakia and get free achievement...
Bcs German ai became brain dead
idk, why would i
Many tactics work.
Be it the north or Port Strategy.
Both viable.
To crush Turkish army?
I wish there were more AI behaviour presets in the game. I like the fact I can make Turkey Restore the Ottoman Sultanate but it's annoying that I can't have Belgian Congo form Burundi or have Iran go down the Third Persian Empire route
I am still playing in 1.16.9, I wouldn't know.
will they not invade bc i have too many divs stacked near athens?
Nooo it depends on ai behaviour
You forgot to cover this tile.
Happens
how do i kill them without them naval invading
Encircle, leave, let them come in, encircle via naval invasion, repeat
Do it on 1.16.9
If u want it to be easier
That's the other strategy I used instead of port tactics.
Letting them push and the encircling them.
i heard they patched the thing where you fight them there
Ah. :/
:/
this is kinda funny
am i going to lose the war then if they wont naval invade?
Should I make more offensive infantry and attack japan?
I am going to clash late game with the US
@snow rain hi
God coal is f me up
i hate coal as small nations ntgl
bro turkey STILL isnt naval invading wtf
What u get for having 1100 factories
bo
bro
hes germany
its normal
Germany usually doesn’t struggle with coal unless u have that much anyways
guys is tjis an overkill
252 divisions as gemrany in 1948 is uh
i eman 1945
is horrible
who are you tho
ukraine
U don’t need that much
no bro who are you
wdym
which nation
ukraine
show
ok
bruh and i cant even naval invade???
Now we march to berlin
yeah u dont have naval supremacy
how do i get 150
bruh wtf i just lost my divisions
ig im starting again then
how do i make them naval invade this time
Hi guys I’m new to hoi4 what is Ironman mode
you're using a mod?
Just build like two empty destroyers
that will get you like 120 more supremacy
Anyone got some good infantry builds for MP?
will britain actually use the conditional surrender?
Is it recommended
you only have 1 save file of your game so you cant play back if something goes wrong but you get achievements
Trophy hunting yes
Ehh I cant say
Personally I would start iron man mode because it takes more skill
And you learn faster
As long as you know the basics you should be fine
How many hours you got?
56 minutes
You watch any videos?
When did Germany fall irl?
Its may of 1944 and im way past berlin
Believe it was may 1945
Germany escaped to Greenland lol the new Germany
A whole year early
May 7th 1945
So close
US watch out , you're bleeding
Thats not much
Yeah
My God i had so much fun this game
Well time to wait 5 years then start ww3
i love having game breaks like this one and just doing a ton of shit
and just play the game how it's meant to be played
screw historical and go full mayhem
yeah
i killed UK , Japan , China , Italy
and now france
and soon the US
the only major left is the USSR
and it's my ally
Ive just beat germany now im moving to japan
Communism will rule the world
how important is Support artilery tanks on tank divisions?
Not very
sure they give some soft
but they take bit of org
i was thinking that i could just put artillery instead of taking more factories to produce those tanks
and get slightly less soft but good amount
Why does darkest hour keep crashing when I load it
I have the right version
and no other mods
Underrated opinion: new players need to stop joining multiplayer games
It's full of toxic people 70% of the time, if you want to learn how to play the game, the helping channels are made for that
Im sending 65 paratroopers into japan
Ngl i dont like coal so much
Dont we all
Found a roblox game copying and literally using a HOI4 thumbnail
Fork found in kitchen
The past hour was for nothing because my dad unplugged my shit😐
Italy isn't good alliance
Say something controversial goddamn
Lol
What Italy Can Do
1.Grease Can't Push Alone
2. barely pushing Ethiopia
3. Landed in Loma
Tbh africa doesnt have enough content
germany is in endsieg mode
and is using forts
iirc it's a video turning countries into Switzerland by spamming forts
amazing
slightly less real than this
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rus'_Khaganate
Rus' Khaganate or Kaganate of Rus is a name applied by some modern historians to a hypothetical polity suggested to have existed during a poorly documented period in the history of Eastern Europe between c. 830 and the 890s.

ok ive got to the point before i take the turkey war focus, is this a good setup? i have 3 more divs coming. how do i make them naval invade this time?
Probably
Maybe if I build higher level forts it might be better?
Cuz I had lvl 4 forts
That's even more research then lol
True
Guess I'll have to come up with something or just do a regular game where I conquer the Benelux once again
how do i get elephants as india
There should be a focus called "Elephants for the Modern Age" if you play in English.
Otherwise just use the search bar.
can someone help me, darkest hour just crashes everytime I try to load it
just found the original vid
part of jimarkus's gimmick is buliding forts when you probably shouldn't tbh
yeah
Iwojima larger than Hawaii in this game
Idk why they made it so massive
I DONT WANNA GET TAGS FROM MPS
probably so that people can see it
do you know where marcus island is on the map
Make it thr size of Madagascar then
I dont think people see it still
Plenty of islands in game that are much smaller but still perfectly visible (even tho they are all larger than iwojima in rl)
The soviet union is such a fun nation
Look how much I binge isp LOL
will they not naval invade again?
Hi, I just downloaded HOI4, what’s a good country to start with in 1936 to just learn how to play
does anyone know if theres any other way to go to another country that doesnt have any routes that you're allied with without paratroopers?
bro i actually hate turkey so much why arent they naval invading
DLC?
Honestly any major
Germany maybe
alr ty
DLC?
oh wow how did this happen
USA
I let them take shanghai and then I just let them take the port and kill them over and over
they've been sending 6-10 divisions repeatedly
theyre just dumping all their units here instead of invading
should i just try to encircle in the left provinces?
Himmler and the Third Reich got exiled to Tsingtao
But they did Anschluss and now they back in Austria lmao
❤️ yugoslavia
There really needs to be a thing where if Germany doesn't border Austria, then Austria will always refuse Anschluss
Whats funny is Austria refused the first time and they killed them, but then the international community explained to Himmler why invading austria was bad and he was exiled to Tsingtao
Only for him to try it again and peacefully succeed to return to Europe
any good mods that are achivements acceptable that change the peace onfrenece
Anything that is cheating is not achievement acceptable
which one is historical?
Brotha its not even 44 yet and they're already getting pushed back to their country
Top option
So historical
what.
Generals!
It's difficult having problems with paradox's current DLCs and choices
Cause the second you say you have a problem with them, you get 50 dudes agreeing with you whose "problems" with some of the DLCs is that you have to read sometimes
Like no, I don't think having to actually look through a focus tree before hand to see what path I need is a problem.
it is tho
if people struggle to figure out it's just bad design
or poorly explained
the people struggling are borderline illiterate who make gold fish look like the most patient creatures in the world
Now some paths are convoluted and confusing, but most aren't.
Even the Portuguese and Spanish paths aren't that hard when you actually take a second to read through the focus tree
You can read what focuses do before hitting them, 9 times out of 10 it'll just tell you outright and the other 1 out of 10 times can usually be deduced through context
Like I'm not a fan of how paradox has seemingly abandoned the World War 2 simulator aspect of the game and has just become a broad alt-history game set in the 1930s and 1940s
Or how in most nations the Democracy and Communist paths are often the shortest and least interesting while the Fascist and Non-Aligned ones get the lions share of the content
-100000000 social score
china's revenge xd
jesse, we have to immigrate to europe
nevermind we'd have to start using the metric system
🦶
Is there a mod that lets Germany build this plane?
Which one is that
When will TFR update?
There are flying wings in game but as far as I know only the allies have them for bombers
Germanys is a fighter
What is masterful blitz?
You do the loopty loop and pull, now Paris is looking cool
No LOL, the Amerika Bomber is a Special Project.
Its currently 1945 and I am the soviet union
Yeah but doesn’t have flying wing model
The Prototype models DLC has it.
Only countries with flying wing bomber models are UK and USA
For Germany, it’s a fighter
Holy crap Japan, who hurt you? Why all the surrendering? You've only lost Okinawa, Iwo Jima, Saipan, that unpronounceable island by Iwo Jima, and most of your fleet. What's more, no one's set a foot on the home islands, it's not even 1944 yet, and you haven't been nuked! Why the surrendering?
Genuinely haven’t seen the US beat Japan yet
I'm playing USA.
So much for an interesting rest of the war in the Pacific. RIP.
If you focus any theater too hard it always goes quick
They got a focus that makes their surrender limit -100% but idk the triggers and stuff for it
Let Germany build an American plane?
Guys I have a new leader
Surely hes innocent and wont commit warcrimes in 8 years !
I had the land needed (just Iwo Jima and Okinawa), but it's supposed to require them to also have less than 40 ships and be nuked twice, maybe the nuke requirement is bugged and for some reason the game isn't requiring it right now?
this might be stupid but please tell me theres some way to prevent yamamoto dying by the plane event
that mod looks familiar
whatts the name again?
Watch out, he is bad
is this ok tank
Looks like Darkest Hour
@split baneWhat did I do with Japan? Why, THIS. The most historical option, methinks.
I didn't leave them entirely intact though, I took all of their outlying islands holdings except for Okinawa and Iwo Jima.
Historically accurate ig
The Warsaw pact will reign supreme over this world
Unfortunately now though, I have to dispose of my Minesweeper Bombers and Destroyers now, as Japan was the only hostile nation to actually USE any this campaign, so now I have no further use for them.
yalll i just got the gamee
i think i got everything down besides combat and battle plans and stuff
actually now that i think abt it i dont have everything down
bro I keep doiong this deceision and going back to the save and the coup NEVER, succeeds
No exaggeration I have done this over 50 times
alguien habla español para jugar hoi4
I got nukes now
@split baneLOL, every last ship that I didn't sink in the IJN, including Yamato and Musashi! Yamato LIVES!
🔥
can someone help
Is there like something blocking it from working
i need ideas for nations to play
Hungary
damn yk that actually sounds fun
hi guys....what is the latest template for infrantry and tank now 🙁
infantry i am using 6 infantry division + 3 artillery
Im going to lay waste to everything In the uk then send over some paratroopers
What the <BLEEP> is this? What is this heresy? A 6 gun Yamato? CURSE YOU AI!
AI sucks at a lot of things, designing boats is one of them
bruh i play as hungary austria hungary and when i get czeslchoovakia as free puppet they go down the stupidass appeasement path
There we go, how's this? Much better, am I right?
Yo I have a couple friends together anyone want to start an mp game?
Vanilla historical
True, sad that you won't get to use it
Good luck with that, in my historical AI campaign, South Africa had a civil war and the side that won joined the Axis.
Eh, I should be able to refit Yamato.
I need help Wha tis the Expansion Pass? Is that just all the dlc as they come out
Also, why not? Germany and Italy are still in the game.
So if you buy it, you will get the dlcs as soon as it comes out
Hello!
I seem not not be able to buy Hearts of Iron IV: Seaplane Tenders by it self weirdly
Yo you just join the server?
They are? Sweet, send out the Yamato to send the Italian fleet to the bottom of the ocean
The Seaplane Tenders thing is a bonus you get for getting the expansion pass
Like a preorder bonus
just models
Once we get these refits on Yamato and Musashi, wouldn't want Yamato and Musashi to get sunk by Stukas, now would we? This refit leverages the fact that I invested HEAVILY into AA and already have all the AA upgrades in the game.
By December 1943.
Yes
check dm
Yeet
so I guessing the pass isn't worth it
guys what do i do when my historical game does not have hirohito ruling japan when im playing germany?
Idk
I don’t really play like that so I wouldn’t know but when I play Japan I always get Hirohito back
I’m looking for people to play my dude
I’m in
Alright me vs the allies
The vc
@split baneIs it bad that I'm tempted to switch Naval Companies now? I no longer need the ridiculous range of Newport News.
Is anyone else having a glitch where they just cant make frontlines?
I sent it in #alt-history-multiplayer
Not at all, if you were playing with AAT then it would be bad since you actually need to build up the MIOs, but if you don't need the range anymore feel free to change it if you want
i was having an issue where Frontlines didn't appear and my mate just got the option stuck on the countries border but nothing happened
I've heard Arms Against Tyranny is a fairly mediocre DLC, especially since the Market mechanic is nowhere explained in game. Is that true?
@rough osprey I’ll just listen in
Cuz I made a game in #alt-history-multiplayer
Also @rough osprey I got 700hr on hoi4
Mainly cuz mods I play
Just play Vanilla with us
german tanks so OP
It's alright, the MIOs are interesting and the market is useful for smaller countries or countries without a good industry at game start like Ethiopia and China since lend lease for all countries is now much higher you can get guns really quickly by temporarily using your civs
Give me a sec
I'm personally more interested in Gotterdamerung, those new special projects look SWEET! I would love to get No Step Back, but I'm afraid that it might get integrated soon.
I've been playing this campaign with By Blood Alone for the Aircraft Designer, and of course Man The Guns just got integrated, so I have two out of three Designers.
-.- I don’t care for vanilla as much unless I’m teaching a newbi
No Step Back isn't getting integrated for at least another 2 years
I’m loading @rough osprey
Awesome
like into the base game?
Yeah, but like I said not happening for a few years
Hopefully La Resistance gets integrated soon, and not because I want Spies, I don't. Like everyone else, I hope that integrating La Resistance will FORCE PARADOX TO DO A PASS OF BUG FIXES ON IT like it has needed for YEARS.
damn thats a shame
la resistance is buggy?
To this day most reviews say it is mechanically awful and extremely buggy on top of that, even VERY recent reviews.
damn i havent experienced that
I’m in @rough osprey
Awesome
i aint playing ahistorical ever again bro
I have landed in the uk
How did i manage to mess up this bad lol
this is the kind of situation where you should maybe just devote all your resources to not having your core countryside collapse
No, I invaded Czechoslovakia, now they're capped and I have to deal with the other half of Germany still being occupied lol
so how long has your whole country been occupied
Not long, I didn't notice Czechoslovakia joining the war and they invaded all of Germany, then france and Belgium pushed me back
alguien que hable español?
You think that’s bad, Soviet Russia managed to find the time after losing Moscow to still declare war on and invade Iran, while South Africa broke out into civil war, and THIS was on Historical AI Focuses!
;-;
Also, Germany invaded Communist Spain and has almost capitulated it.
i mean ai tends to go beserk even on historical when the player goes ahistorical
Well then ima go continue my campaign until anyone @ me
i feel like new faction system made things worse
i literally set a faction goal “declare war on communism” and the USSR ends up joining
Well, I’ve been playing USA and didn’t do much unhistorical until 1941 when Japan declared war in October instead of December, but failed to take the Philippines or Guam and got capitulated in only 2 years by losing Iwo Jima and Okinawa and getting the crap beaten out of the IJN.
japan always invades earlier than historical date
It’s supposed to require Nukes, but for some reason that requirement is broken and not active right now.
what’s supposed to require nukes
Japan’s early capitulation recipe.
It’s supposed to be, take Iwo Jima and Okinawa away from them, deplete the IJN to less than 40 ships total, and nuke them twice, but right now you only need to do the first two steps for some reason, it will autocomplete and they will capitulate the moment they have 39 ships remaining once Okinawa and Iwo Jima are no longer theirs.
how soon can you get nukes
I think speed running it it might be possible by the middle of 1944? Usually 1945 or 1946.
not worth it. i capped japan early 43 in my recent USA playthrough
im fairly certain you could beat them far earlier
This was mid 1943. I was researching Atomic Energy special project for Nuclear Reactors, but I was nowhere close to the reactors, let alone bombs.
ah
kinda wish i could do the historical japan surrender event but i always end up blowing up the IJN at late 43 at the very latest, so to get the event you just gotta awkwardly wait around, maybe kick them out of china, then nuke them
at which point i get tired of managing western front and pacific front and just kill japan to focus on germany
I don’t think it’s possible at the moment, since losing too much of their navy is part of them capitulating, and they’re REALLY bad with Navy as of late. They keep charging their subs into defended convoys or areas covered by naval air patrols and getting them sunk like absolute morons.
You want to know how many ships I sunk with Maritime Patrol Flying Boats? 87, with most of those being Japanese submarines, and most of the rest being Convoys and DDs.
the ai is also just in general terrible at strategic fleet concentration, aswell as determining whether to enter a battle or not
gawdamn half the time i dont even need naval bombers
There was one close engagement in the beginning where they could have gained the sea region around Guam, but they refused to press the advantage and retreated to Saipan, which I then took, and then bouncing between Iwo Jima and Marcus Island, which I then took too.
i just make beefy fleet carriers then just put half my fleet on patrol, and other half on strike force/invasion support if i need fo
did they like blow up part of your fleet or did they just land troops then leave them without naval support?
power of friendship ahh
Kicked my fleet’s butt, LOL, they never had enough naval dominance to launch an amphibious assault.
damn
Sunk a lot of old destroyers and left most of the rest of that fleet on half HP.
yeah ai for what its worth can press the advantage with ground forces but with naval its just bad
For what it’s worth, the AI’s hesitation let my superior air power based on Guam wear them down.
They had no air support, NONE. They had no aircraft on Saipan for some reason.
oh yeah reminds me of that time i played usa before recent naval rework and i didnt bother to build up my fleet starting our, then got my fleet demolished in the south china sea because i didnt pay attention to supply, then i still was able to cheese my way to iwo jima then to the mainland somehow
yeah ai clearly has trouble managing planes on islands
1939 probably
Honestly, the naval rework has left the AI almost totally confounded.
bruh i played germany today and was able to gain naval dominance in the england channel for two whole months even after the british blew up basically all but like 2 of my capital ships
no naval bombers or anything
their navy was fine they literally were just not using it at all to keep dominance
You think that’s bad? I yawned every time I heard the naval landing alarm steam whistle, and said “In your dreams, AI. You don’t have the Naval Dominance in these regions to actually be able to execute those plans, and you won’t be getting it any time soon.”
dw though i sold the landing super hard, failed to take a port, then instead had a 8 month long air battle that wiped out 1/3 of my air force
LOL, I tried using Paratroopers to take Taiwan, but that went really poorly and they got punked and died unceremoniously, then I just strategically bombed Taiwan with my Strategic Bombers until their infrastructure was history and the defenders starved to death and I was able to land troops on Taiwan unopposed.
Imagine if you could make a custom nation like in EUIV/CKIII lol...
To be fair, I didn’t even know that Strategic Bombers could be used to kill enemy divisions by starving them out.
custom nation hoi4 mod where
oh yeah i use them as macro logistics bombers all the time. just bomb the shit out of rails, supply hubs, etc
the eternal republic in vanilla 🔥
its like scorched earth except you can do it anywhere you want
Setting up Youjio Senki Redux lobby!
Thank goodness for the Aircraft Designer. Yes, most things you can make are pure unmeta trash, but it’s still a lot of fun and some designs can be deceptively strong.
Anyone up for a lil round
I like the large, strategic-bomber-airframe-based Flying Boats. They really seem to get crap done, despite how often most players never make them.
Also, only 10 to a squadron.
they’re good but are just expensive as shit
honestly a pretty good late game thing to mass produce to fight through late game army slog
dawg my ace tab making my game carsh
since when is Churchill so based
Youjio Senki is up
now that i think about it is the player the spirit of the nation or the snail in the ear of the leader
A hungry king for hungary

The Magyar Leggero is far better than anything Hitler is putting in the sky rn
Tyvm 2 year ahead of time focus
Do you guys know if there's any way to play as the Kumul Khanate without having to manually release them?
Uh hi ? May I ask why the cold ping
What does HWO mean?
What's a good heavy tank design?
hoi4 but you can only buy equipment for your army
Lowkey might do that
Good idea
idk if vanilla or sheeps is more playable for that
at least sheep ai like sells large quantities of not completely dated equipment
Guys my economy is collapsing because I am spending to much on my militiary
what should I do
human wave offensive from the old doctrine system
get large unit tactics for a similar effect

Hello, just checkin in here after some time
... Do you think the "Naval Invasion Support mission" for naval task forces could help with players struggling with the Japanese Civil War, playing as the democratic faction?
Has steam ever considered if it made more business sense to drastically lower the impact of seasonal sales on prices or even cut them out altogether? Of course I say this as someone who would less-than-benefit from such a change but it seems like most people with the patience just wait for the next sale before buying a newly released DLC for most games
help
No, when you do a sale you tend to get people to buy that wouldn't even have considered to buy it at normal price
is the type XXI U-boat good?
I love when Austria-Germany joins the French comintern ❤️
what mod
Great War 2 Redux: Electric Boogaloo
so i get 4 spains, 3 italys, and turkey owning bulgaria included
you also get nerf guns for your infantry
was just about to lose on d day but churhcill inspired me
waudsyufsdyuehfjshdfuseyfhs goverment
thank you for telling me game
OK, give me your favourite country to play and why. kthx
Germany
If only i could read bazilian
Why is you game in brazilian btw wtf thats a sin, my first language is french and i still play in english
Btw, i somehow understood the sentence was about planes in reserve
God bless latin languages
you're going to brazil
you remember me right
im glad theyre telling me all the shit planes i have in reserve
When I'm in 1950, at peace, waiting years for nuclear missile submarines to be a thing
1960s tech
Pdx were high to the wazoo on afghan export for making that an achievement
tbh its not that bad
theyre rlly fun to use when you eventually get them
Waiting for 1945 for a country to not capitulate, to not lose a state, etc. is also so lame
The game is already over for me
I'm literally letting the game run
Like that achievement has 0 purpose
But to just make my pc run for another 5-10 hours until my research is done
waiting for 1970 so i can go to war with germany as luxembourg
and give them a second sunrise
which one gives me man power??
Atleast my Philippines run has me sitting at 700 factories so I spammed out plenty of facilities
Large Unit Tac I think
Nah
Operations subdoctrine section gives recruitable pop
Only if you go the most right grand doctrine
hello guys i'd like to use heavy tank to defend as france but idk what template should i go with does someone have an idea of a good heavy tank template to defend and maybe attack later
Heavies are an overkill against AI
so igo with medium or ust infantry and fort?
Shovel inf holds just fine if you build a fat airforce
alr thx
You wipe their air out and then go heavy on ground attack
I usually end up doing up to 200 cas damage to them by the time I want to push out
why are you foing this
For attacks and encirclements, you can make like 3-5 mediums
You could just build them a port
do not fear the hungarian is here
how do i play as himmler instead of adolf
if i have a NAP with a nation but they gurantee a country if i declare war on the country they're guranteeing will they declare war on me?
Usually yes
Use large unit tactics if you're gonna be using infantry
in the far right sub branch theres something i think called "desperate defense"
gives you recruitable pop
Someone knows about new desigions/operations about Perl Harbour (for Japan/USA)?
None of these does
You need desperate defense
Which is under operations I think
5% pop
Its been 10 hours bro, sleep
Not that
large unit tactics lowers combat width tho
I havent looked at irregular
Since I dont use them
