[raw valve]

I see

[opal nymph]

That is why you attack supply hubs

[raw valve]

And how many oil synthesizers should I have?

[opal nymph]

And follow railways

[raw valve]

Oh ok

That's a good tip

[opal nymph]

Depends on your country

[raw valve]

I see. But, like, proportional to military factories?

[opal nymph]

No

You build based on need

Not to reach a percentage

[raw valve]

I see

Ok, I'll try things out and if I need y'all's help, I won't hesitate to come back here and talk to y'all

[opal nymph]

You can have whatever percentage of factories you want

[kind vale]

If you really need tires invade the Netherlands and puppet the Dutch east indies and trade with them

[opal nymph]

Just note by focusing on one, you reduce the others

[kind vale]

I mostly build mils

does hoi4 actually ever end

saw this in a video 😭

[formal bronze]

@deep solsticeNow I've seen everything. Dutch East Indies Resistance sabotaging the Government-In-Exile Dutch. Stupid, plain stupid.

[leaden mulch]

real

[dusky burrow]

Mobile warfare enjoyers be like:

[dusky burrow]

That's why you should annex the DEI first and then farm that non-core manpower

[ancient marsh]

do they ever invade japan

the ai is so passive i genuinely dont think they're going to

[dusky burrow]

Yeah they won't

You must invade Japan for them

[ancient marsh]

literally impossible

thank u paradox

[dusky burrow]

You're China you have all the oil and time in the world

Japan doesn't

[ancient marsh]

I am communist china

[dusky burrow]

Oh

Is the war in Europe done?

If so you can overthrow China

[ancient marsh]

nope

[formal bronze]

Dutch East Indies is one of those places, like France, that farms REALLY high resistance if you don't have core there, that's not ideal. Plus, I'm allies anyways.

[dusky burrow]

Noooooo?!?!

[ancient marsh]

and i cant because i already chose to stay in the faction

the allies just do nothing now lmfao

[rich sand]

not anymore

[ancient marsh]

if they dont have a land border they dont even try to assault

[dusky burrow]

Nice

Good luck

[ancient marsh]

cant wait for this to not even get touched next patch

i cant even leave the faction to kill china and then build a navy from scratch

i have nothing 💔

wasted like 3 hours for nothing

[dusky burrow]

if that's Soviets playing like a human Germany must be semi-competent

Or otherwise it would have been wiped already

[ancient marsh]

yeah they're actually

making something to minsk

allies are so passive that they still hold tripoli

[leaden mulch]

more speed

need more

[opal nymph]

You can

Percentages are based on what you have

[tidal copper]

What japan division templates should I use against AI ? 7/2 inf/art or 14/4 . also how should I decide which template to uses in which situation ?

[dusky burrow]

what's going on in syria

[ancient marsh]

i dont know anymor

this patch obliterated ai's sentience

[dusky burrow]

ai was never really sentient in the first place tbf

[ancient marsh]

u know what i mean

completely brainrotted atp

[dusky burrow]

I guess I am

but seriously, go play gwr, it's your golden opportunity

[kind vale]

How has japan not sunk any of my ships

[autumn pebble]

They suck

[dusky burrow]

which country are you

[kind vale]

The usa

Legit all ive built is destroyers

[trail beacon]

OH NO NO NO

[autumn pebble]

London is kawaii

[wraith mauve]

Why is every focus in the American focus tree so long

[autumn pebble]

Paradox likes suffering

[wraith mauve]

Good point also Im playing fascist usa for first time is it good?

[dusky burrow]

Nice

[kind vale]

China is greedy ima kill them

[opal nymph]

Escort Carriers are great

[kind vale]

Nah

[wraith mauve]

Anyone

[opal nymph]

You have to deal with a civil war if you go fully fascist

[wraith mauve]

Also is 30 light attack light cruisers still meta

[wraith mauve]

Ik

[opal nymph]

My patrol fleets wiped the floor because of the escort carriers

[opal nymph]

Light attack light cruisers are still good

[kind vale]

I got the base us fleet plus 500 destroyers

[autumn pebble]

Yes

[wraith mauve]

Ok

[opal nymph]

Dang

[kind vale]

I got 48 dockyards on destroyers

[dusky burrow]

maybe if you want light attack you go destroyers though because they get like 40% light attack bonus and also well torps exist too

[pseudo cosmos]

why cant my ships patrol in a seazone they're literally docked in (it says no range)

[autumn pebble]

Shitty ships idk

[pseudo cosmos]

theyre the ones i started with as the uk, and i never had this problem before the navy update

[autumn pebble]

I think only certain ship types can do certain missions

Not sure

Havent tested it much

Light cruisers are for patrolling though

[wraith mauve]

How do I liberate my North American brothers from communism they are all going communist

Hello

[rich sand]

i mean you basically can but it would lower your overall factory output if you build too much due to coal

[kind vale]

Invade them all

How come Germany cant even push into the soviet union anymore?

[lost hemlock]

is there anything left to do?

[trail beacon]

Thank you, Paradox. My dreams have finally been made reality 💜

[autumn pebble]

Wait

Nvm idc if it’s linguistically incorrect

[wicked haven]

start a stellaris playthrough as France and colonise the universe

[lost hemlock]

Idk what Stellaris is

[leaden mulch]

another pdx game

[tender ferry]

why did the ai leave a hole in the front line

everytime i try to invade uk its impossible to get naval suppremacy so i just paratroopers and even then they never leave a hole in the front line

[tender ferry]

i seen tannu tuva take over china before in non historical

[analog ivy]

with the soviets help?

[dusky burrow]

nice

[dusky burrow]

they know about gwr

[analog ivy]

fascist switzerland

if switzerland takes over europe i'd be so happy

[dusky burrow]

what if it takes over you

[analog ivy]

woah poland

[analog ivy]

the borders look sick ngl

[dusky burrow]

Poland may be pretty strong here but idk

[analog ivy]

dude this is like modern day borders germany

well if only france didn't take half of it

but germany is democratic

i dont even know how italy is even czechoslovakian

funny how democratic germany is red because it was originally communist

this war looks so epic

[dusky burrow]

ominous norway

[analog ivy]

i dont even know how norway even took that land it's not even bordering it

[wraith mauve]

Whats a good mechanized template for American junta

[leaden mulch]

mechanized templates are universal gng

[wraith mauve]

So whats a good one then

[dusky burrow]

you want to use them to attack?

Or defend

[wraith mauve]

Yes

Attack

[dusky burrow]

I mean in that case you use the same support companies as any offensive infantry

flame tanks
assault engineers
artillery
light tank recon
hospitals

[wraith mauve]

So use same template just replace with mechanized

[clear dagger]

motherships go brr

[wraith mauve]

??? Use same template just replace with mech?

[dusky burrow]

Yeah

Like you know the common 32.4-width mountaineers I talk about?

Replace those mountaineers with mech, but also make sure to keep a speed since mech are faster

[wraith mauve]

Ok

[opal nymph]

Percentages is based on what you own.

1/4 civs to mils is the same as 25/100 civs to mils percentage wise

oops wrong chat

sry

[analog ivy]

im using the better ai mod and im spectating germany and this is their inf division template. is this the meta or something? this is germany

this is the same template used in other major countries too

for their inf divs

france

[dusky burrow]

It's sort of meta for Germany and not meta for France

Check Germany's focuses, if they went "continue the Prussian legacy" it makes sense

Because that side of the focus tree apparently gives 15% attack to divisions with line artillery

apparently

Also of course you would make it 17/1 and use field hospitals I'd imagine

If you want really good templates look at Sheep's Mod, but they're down right now

[strong belfry]

is it a good mod

imma try it

[dusky burrow]

Well yeah, try both better ai and, when it comes back, sheep's

[strong belfry]

sheep is so hard when i tried as sovviet i set germany as gbp and i died in 2 year 🙏

[dusky burrow]

Yeah that's typical

If the Allies don't D-Day successfully you're screwed

[strong belfry]

i won only once and it was allies carried game

well i did smth too

[gentle void]

what dlcs should I buy?

[dusky burrow]

Honestly you're probably better trying France if this is your first time because it has similar tank gameplay but it's much more forgiving having the Allies on your side

[gentle void]

I alr got no step back idk what else to get\

[dusky burrow]

Yeah you may have to attrit the enemy

[warped flint]

I invaded poland

[dusky burrow]

In order of priority, by blood alone, la resistance, götterdammerung, and then any of the country packs you like

[warped flint]

I am terrified of the soviet union

[gentle void]

why la ressistance?

[dusky burrow]

if push comes to shove hide behind the dnipro

[dusky burrow]

introduces operation mechanics

[gentle void]

why not arms against tyranny?

[gentle void]

ohh thatt

ye I luv that

[dusky burrow]

so if you want collaboration governments you need la resistance

[dusky burrow]

alternatively if you don't want to give up so much land defend behind the Desna and the Siverskyi Donets and then if you can drive to Rostov

[warped flint]

I had some forts when I started and I choose to connect them, so I have a little bit of protection there

Are those river names?

[dusky burrow]

Yes

[warped flint]

I am gonna get guns 3 in 1939 lmao

[gentle void]

btw one more question

[warped flint]

I have a little alliance

[dusky burrow]

Yes?

[dusky burrow]

This may be rough

[warped flint]

https://tenor.com/view/brexby-gif-24077467

nah I got this

trust

[dusky burrow]

Yeah

If the Soviets weren't on your back I'd say to invade Germany because they seem to be having it rough

But yeah oof Soviets

[warped flint]

I mean the soviets not having controll of ukraine at the start has to hurt them a bit right

[dusky burrow]

no coal

so yeah

Ukraine has like 168 coal in Donetsk alone

[warped flint]

And like 30M population missing

[dusky burrow]

Yeah

[warped flint]

I have an okay navy

Also I did cav only cause I did cossack path and expected cavalry buffs...

I did not get a single cavalry buff

[dusky burrow]

also btw note that crimea is controlled by soviet allies

[warped flint]

I stationed 4 horses there

[dusky burrow]

Ah I see

The Perekop isthmus isn't connected?

[warped flint]

Yeah

For some reason

[dusky burrow]

hmmmmm

kherson is inland 😭

what is this

[warped flint]

Shit I have no trains

[warped flint]

Ukraine above all

OH DEAR GOD

[dusky burrow]

[warped flint]

Thats the lithuanian army to

[dusky burrow]

ah i see

[warped flint]

my puppets are worthless

poland has 2 divisions

Wait if I join the war does it call those puppets in

[dusky burrow]

No

You should not call them in unless you can attack from them

Also you can absolutely just take their divisions away

[warped flint]

oh dear god

IT IS A COINNECTION

I also got a encirclement like this a second ago to

Alright I really want to keep playing but I need to wake up in like 7 hours

[clear dagger]

you only need 3 hours of sleep

[warped flint]

Genuinely if I was still on the game this would have made me keep playing lmao

[clear dagger]

it onlkiy takes 2 minutes to get the game backj upfgk

[warped flint]

hmm

they sent a peace offer

I am going to mess around to make this more good looking

[strange stratus]

Why is so hard to defend as Finland with level 5 fort

[green plume]

so in a no mods MP session what is the success rate of a 1941 or 1942 d-day

[heavy vigil]

forts are bad

youre also getting CASed because i assume youre using the wrong general and field marshal

mannerheim is very bad actually unless you have air

then hes ok

[strange stratus]

Ah

[heavy vigil]

because you want/need double commando

for -75% cas damage

then asvisor -10%

and support AA also helps

really you also need to be constantly recruiting people

mobilizing

and making units and exercising them for mastery

mannerheim is funny

despite being one of the highest skill level field marshals at game start hes like your third best field marshal option as finland

[hot oxide]

is there a way to jump yo a country as I cannot find the uSSR anywhere depite it still existing

HUZZAH

[hot oxide]

they literally dont exist on the map but have like 200 factories

can they get than many offmaps?

yeah

bro no way the french are doing something on maginot

[simple aurora]

which DLC should i buy for my first? I only have around 38 hours in the game, really like playing Canada but they already have a focus tree. I’m from Scandinavia myself, so i was thinking Arms Against Tyranny, or By Blood Alone.

[outer thicket]

Can I still win the antischluss achievement if say my Polish puppet controls Germany but I as Austria annexed Poland and make Germany as my core and release it again as my puppet. I am playing as Archduchy of Austria.

[regal heron]

is it good against river and mountain

[rich sand]

hover over the adjusters and you'll see there

i think

[eternal palm]

Thats really convoluted but I guess

the only check is that you need to control all german core states

when and how doesnt matter

[outer thicket]

Also I have realized something lmao, playing as Austria, to resist anschluss the “easiest” way is to just peacefully puppet neighbors like Hungary, Czechosolovakia, Poland, etc and call them to battle when Germany wanted to Anschluss. So I just need to train just enough infantry divisions to defend Austria.

[regal heron]

reasonable

[regal heron]

go to greece and arrest him

done

[regal heron]

skill issue

[paper echo]

its a decision

[paper echo]

you can get no step back

poland has some really good paths

[simple aurora]

I don't think i'm good enough to play Poland haha, unless there's an Axis path?

[paper echo]

you can just give up danzig

and focus on the soviets

and after that declare on axis once you are strong enough

[simple aurora]

ahh i still don't think i could take on the Soviets, but i'll look into it. Thanks.

[paper echo]

you can fallback around that area and let them attack you till they get weak

[simple aurora]

does No Step Back add anything else cool?

[paper echo]

tank designs

ussr alt hist and baltic paths

logistics strike mission,scorch earth and officer corps stuff

[ripe slate]

USSR alt hist paths are very repetitive though imo

Annoying civil wars

[paper echo]

well only good ones are third rome and slavic union

the rest are irrelevant

[viscid swift]

guys

iceland is the greatest country to play

trust

[strong belfry]

he can just give up the east and take it later instead of that

[paper echo]

whatever he prefers

but i think its better to just go to war

mostly depends on your skill

ussr isnt that strong anyways

[strong belfry]

losing half of your contry not better

just defend the east not that hard

[simple aurora]

not sure if my skill is too good yet, are By Blood Alone and Arms Against Tyranny any good?

[paper echo]

they are good

bba is better cuz of plane designs

[sleek scroll]

@paper echo did people dislike NCNS because of how paradox milking a decade old game?

[paper echo]

they hate it cuz its a rebranded old dlc that costs 30 euros

[simple aurora]

i might buy Arms Against Tyranny, because i think i’ll be using all of the focus trees, and the equipment market. BBA would mainly be for the resource right mechanic i think

[sleek scroll]

Team fortress you mean by rebranded old dlc?whats this dlc based onto?

[paper echo]

bba has plane design and planes are vital

[simple aurora]

ah good point

[paper echo]

there was another chinese dlc back in the day.now they released this dlc which is the same concept but better

its a reworked waking the tiger absically

[sleek scroll]

🥀 are we deadass bro

[paper echo]

yep

[sleek scroll]

Server lwk gonna shoot up paradox hq soon

[eternal palm]

Oh and they sold it for double the price

[molten pasture]

Except that WTT also included germany (for some reason), had significantly less content and has been free for everyone for the past 2 years

[paper echo]

over half the price of the game is crazy

[eternal palm]

NCNS is a glorified country pack

[paper echo]

[sudden thistle]

I just forget it exists ngl

[analog ivy]

does rt56 make the game more historically accurate or less?

[eternal palm]

Less

[wicked haven]

It would be quite nice if they added food supply as a resource

[eternal palm]

If you want a "historical" experience, vanilla is close enough

[eternal palm]

OG endsieg had it

[wicked haven]

it is one of the largest factors missing in game

[eternal palm]

Just pls don't make it like coal 😭

[eternal palm]

I mean, large famines really were a thing of the past even during ww2, the only thing I can think of is the bengal famine, but it is a mechanic

Usually it was a matter of supply, not availability

And supply is pretty well modelled

And honestly hoi4 again doesn't want to give the player the option to overtly cause civilian casualties for obvious reasons

[paper echo]

🖕🏼

[cedar lance]

hello yalls

[wicked haven]

well I meant like, if you don't meet food needs you get less war support, harder to maintain occupation and more deaths in and maybe out of conflict

[eternal palm]

Oh great so another modifier punishing expansion in a game that's all about expansion yaaaay

[wicked haven]

well they could add tech for it

[eternal palm]

Great more research bloat

[wicked haven]

it would allow for more strategic paths

[eternal palm]

Sometimes keeping it simpler is better

[paper echo]

coal is as bad as it could be and food would make it even worse

[eternal palm]

How?

[wicked haven]

controlling major food producing regions

[paper echo]

if they add another resource im gonna lose it

[eternal palm]

Yaaay more USA buffs 🥱

[cedar lance]

hello Creep

[eternal palm]

I think we're good for now

[paper echo]

yep

well we are not good

cuz they added coal

no coal = happy world

[split fulcrum]

How much do dlcs change naval combat?

[wicked haven]

It would make India more relevant, Ukraine would be represented more in resource terms etc

Not at all

Mtg is part of the game now

are any of the naval sp locked behind gtd?

[dusky burrow]

LMAO

You saw that reddit post didn't you

[iron helm]

Yes

[regal heron]

do i need to increaase the cap so i can train more or just wait?

[dusky burrow]

nice

[iron helm]

Jarvis find me posts that have some historical parallel and put a speech bubble over the leader that is the most relevant over it

[dusky burrow]

Yeah, but it's pretty easy to do that

[iron helm]

Why did the German attack me? I thought I had a non-aggression pact with them!

[regal heron]

non aggresion pact it just paper frfr

[eternal palm]

Yea countries can just break them

They don't care

[regal heron]

wdym?

[dusky burrow]

spam small divisions, convert them to large divisions, and then boom large cap

[regal heron]

damn

what's the catch?

[eternal palm]

Make sure to delete the large div afterwards though

[regal heron]

oh?

[dusky burrow]

they will eat up manpower and equipment if you don't

[regal heron]

why germany seems like have big special force cap

[regal heron]

so create 50w div?

[dusky burrow]

yeah

you can probably also use that 50w div for garrison purposes if it is cavalry

[regal heron]

small div of special forces inf right?

[iron helm]

2w cav with mp 👍

(Please don't 43534 support equipment in deficit)

[dusky burrow]

lmao

[dusky burrow]

no

the point is that if you want a high special forces cap, the goal is to increase the number of non-special forces battalions

[paper echo]

man the new navy thing kinda pisses me off

especially the new naval invasions thing

[regal heron]

ooo

[solemn bay]

Pay attention to class or play HOI4

[paper echo]

[ocean mirage]

when you and your friend keep playing pingpong with a 100$ bill and that gdp number skyrockets😝

[analog ivy]

maybe its just inflation lol

maybe that 496 billion ethiopian dollars is worth nothing in american dollars

[ocean mirage]

oh yeah guys is it normal that the ai literally doesnt know what a naval invasion is??? i tried to do the byzantium naval cheese and turkey just joe bidened forever and never invaded

b4 ncns theyd instantly launch an invasion on a port

[analog ivy]

yea its weird i experienced it too

also one time the megali idea didn't fail and i was surprised

[spiral sphinx]

[ocean mirage]

with italy invited and ai historical focuses on????

[analog ivy]

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3021465796

[analog ivy]

i was at war with italy at the same time and took albania

[ocean mirage]

oh yea no shit theyd accept

[analog ivy]

until germany joined and i was dead

[spiral sphinx]

main mod?

[analog ivy]

the better mechanics mods are seperate and you shouldn't download all of them together

you just have to pick out the mods you like

[spiral sphinx]

sounds fun

[analog ivy]

some aren't compatible with each other

[spiral sphinx]

alr

[analog ivy]

just search up better mechanics on the workshop they have alot of good mods

[spiral sphinx]

main game with new stuff sounds great

[analog ivy]

its really good

[paper echo]

ok

[spiral sphinx]

gg

japan just got your most important city

[paper echo]

it didnt

it just did a raid

[spiral sphinx]

they didnt get manila

[paper echo]

they only have these

[regal heron]

is anexing philiphines worth it as us

[paper echo]

i let them live so i can drop the mushroom to them

[analog ivy]

if anything keeping them a puppet is better

they can garrison their own ports

[spiral sphinx]

already lost to china

wow

[analog ivy]

what map mod are you using ❤️

[paper echo]

cuz i helped

[paper echo]

tno map mode

[spiral sphinx]

[heavy vigil]

i found a mod that auto assigns medals for free

[analog ivy]

why does it look cleaner

[heavy vigil]

trying it rn and its kinda peak

[paper echo]

only helped cuz i wanted them to do the white peace thing so i could get all of the war score

[analog ivy]

what is it

[regal heron]

ok

[paper echo]

do you have full render res off or something

[analog ivy]

its on

[paper echo]

[heavy vigil]

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3614262539

do you have a high resolution monitor?

[heavy vigil]

like higher then 1080p?

[heavy vigil]

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3566429754

also seeing if this is anything cool

[analog ivy]

this probably makes the game so much easier combat wise

the buffs are actually so good

[paper echo]

whoops-

[dusky burrow]

i see

[paper echo]

accident

[heavy vigil]

i just want mods that are vanilla enough to me

[dusky burrow]

no italian puppet? RIP

[paper echo]

all it took was like 50 units

it still showed the civil war thing

but theres not any cuz i was too fast

[ocean mirage]

red supply to imitate blood

[split fulcrum]

does this mean 2 factories for each, or 2 factories in total

[ocean mirage]

4 mils i think

[paper echo]

2 factories each

[split fulcrum]

@paper echo hows my try at making a division

i barely know how this works

some of the modifiers i have no idea what they do

oh this is bad

[open scaffold]

your organization is way too low, which means the division won't stay in combat very long. add like 6 to 8 mechanized infantry

and take away 3 tanks

see what your speed looks like after removing the support artillery too

[split fulcrum]

doesnt change

@open scaffold

[ocean mirage]

why is there 2 types of tanks in the same div

space

did u defeat poland yet

[split fulcrum]

its may 1936

[eternal palm]

Support arty doesn't influence speed

[split fulcrum]

actually june

[paper echo]

im not really good on templates

[split fulcrum]

its june 1936

[ocean mirage]

no like in the previous games u shared here

[split fulcrum]

yes

i did

but i lost 750k troops

[ocean mirage]

how did the game go after polandp'

[split fulcrum]

cuz i didnt go molotov ribbentrop pact

[split fulcrum]

turned into ww1

[daring geyser]

@heavy vigil why did you go out teaching your tank templates again

[split fulcrum]

got stopped at belgium

[heavy vigil]

hiii tac

[daring geyser]

hii

[eternal palm]

To see div quality you can generally look at hp. HP is the thing that makes you tank more damage and take less losses. So more hp means more good

[heavy vigil]

hru??

[eternal palm]

Low hp is usually just a bad div, no matter how much attack it has

[ocean mirage]

also just go 30 width two rows full of heavy tanks and 2 full of trucks its enough for a tank template

[daring geyser]

very busy and pissed off at it (i shouldnt be at discord rn)

[ocean mirage]

😭😭😭😭

[split fulcrum]

30 width?

[eternal palm]

That's 40w 💀

[eternal palm]

Combat width

[split fulcrum]

i know eu4 combat width

[ocean mirage]

misstyped im also shitting at the same time

[split fulcrum]

not hoi4 combat width

[eternal palm]

Important stat. It basically determines how many divs u can fit into combat on certain terrains

[eternal palm]

Don't jack off too long

[split fulcrum]

so its the same as in eu4

[heavy vigil]

get off discord or tell me the requirements for the china escape to taiwan tree

[eternal palm]

Eh basically

[heavy vigil]

thingy

[eternal palm]

Just terrain matters too

[ocean mirage]

nnn is over bro let a man be a man

[eternal palm]

No

[daring geyser]

do you like updog

[heavy vigil]

yeah

[split fulcrum]

dude i remember once basically forming a frontiline in eu4

i destroyed lorent

demolished them

i dont even remember engaging their army

thats how bad they got cooked

sieged them down like a piece of cake

i was playing castanor

[daring geyser]

no!!! you're supposed to say "what's updog" and i'm supposed to reply "im fine thank you"

[split fulcrum]

or castellyr idk i forgot

[daring geyser]

anyways blocked

[split fulcrum]

probably castanor

[heavy vigil]

civgreeds you

[daring geyser]

moment

[split fulcrum]

@eternal palm i reached 11 morale

actually insane

[eternal palm]

I don't play EU4

[split fulcrum]

me and my protectorate state

[eternal palm]

Also

[split fulcrum]

i forgot what it was called

[split fulcrum]

dude

thats war thunder

[eternal palm]

And?

Still applies

[split fulcrum]

wait that isnt war thunder

[eternal palm]

That also

[split fulcrum]

also i couldnt open discord on my pc

i reached like 13 morale

but on max tech

basically +110% morale buff

[split fulcrum]

just look at the numbers

[eternal palm]

🤷

[split fulcrum]

suure i mightve had well

basically the same losses

[daring geyser]

how do i do.it please

[split fulcrum]

when my army is a third smaller

[eternal palm]

Holy shit

[split fulcrum]

but i still won the battle!!!

[molten pasture]

[split fulcrum]

@daring geyser mint cinnamon?

[daring geyser]

yup

[molten pasture]

Surprised it isn't arch, considering you did have the need to tell us

[viscid swift]

what is this

thing

[daring geyser]

I use mint, by the way

[north spoke]

Real

[viscid swift]

that looks like something that should've been burned alive

this is why the rapture didnt happen yet

[daring geyser]

its just linux mint with a windows 7 skin

[molten pasture]

read your pings

[daring geyser]

really makes you look at even how the lesser customizable linux distros are still really customizable

[north spoke]

Why would you switch to Linux just to make it windows again

[daring geyser]

i gave up on it after some point

[split fulcrum]

how should i change this?

[molten pasture]

By turning it into .36 meta heavy tds

[daring geyser]

cuz i like windows 7 and microsoft is bad

but i still have windows on my external ssd

[eternal palm]

Add logi, aa, signals

Depends on how you're using it

If you're using it to defend, that's fine

If you're using it to attack, don't

[split fulcrum]

[eternal palm]

Jesus fried chicken. Only in Georgia

[north spoke]

Kentucky is doing WHAT to Jesus?

[warped flint]

[molten pasture]

[solemn hinge]

Sheep's ai?

[analog ivy]

dude this is crazy

[analog ivy]

nah not that hard

just better ai div designs and frontline ai

[solemn hinge]

Ok

[analog ivy]

both better mechanic mods

53 SOVIET DIVS IN THAT ONE TILE

1 million soldiers were in that encirclement

[paper kiln]

they drained up the adrian sea

[solemn hinge]

Is your army comprised of entirely Infantry?

[analog ivy]

7 tanks at the front line

but yea

[solemn hinge]

Ok just wondering

[split fulcrum]

should i care about this?

[ocean mirage]

noi

[heavy vigil]

no

[spiral sphinx]

useless

unless you play non historic

even then pretty useless

[solemn hinge]

Never results in anything

[simple aurora]

i bought both the DLCs, i'm playing as Sweden currently, is there any good plane design to use? Suggestions on which types of planes to build are welcome too haha

[paper echo]

something like that

thats what i use

[simple aurora]

thanks, will try that

[paper echo]

well you wont have that exactly since thats 1944 tech

[simple aurora]

ah okay

should i build anything else than fighters?

[paper echo]

cas

[heavy vigil]

ew

[heavy vigil]

whyy

[eternal palm]

Why lmg?

[regal heron]

i thought i can unlock both 🥀

[eternal palm]

Hmg is simply better

Also if 1944 tech why not cannon 2

[split fulcrum]

should i click this though?

i went 4 year plan

focus

[eternal palm]

Air defense is pointless for cas and don't do double engine

Makes it too expensive

[eternal palm]

No

[split fulcrum]

never?

[eternal palm]

Just don't touch this button ever

[simple aurora]

alright, no naval bombers?

[split fulcrum]

not even hover over it?

[eternal palm]

[meager valley]

I thought the devs were fixing this

[eternal palm]

Great that I need a mod to play the game

[meager valley]

Bruh

[heavy vigil]

It's still a mod.

[meager valley]

I play on Ironman though

[eternal palm]

So?

[heavy vigil]

yeah

[meager valley]

Like this game is Ironman

[heavy vigil]

theyll fix it soon

they havent updated yet

[meager valley]

That most makes it not Ironman

[shrewd hill]

[meager valley]

Bro I don’t want discord open on my computer bc then I don’t get notifications on my phone. I text my girlfriend and friends through discord on my phone. It interferes plus just don’t like it hogging any computer energy

[meager valley]

They’re not even that low quality

[paper echo]

war support cuz of casualities and stability bc of war support

[viscid stirrup]

they literally are

[meager valley]

Y’all never played PS1-PS2 if you’re calling that low quality

[viscid stirrup]

there are yellow stripes

[sudden thistle]

For a phone it’s great quality stop whining

[solemn hinge]

im fairly sure they said in the dev diary its supposed to be that way

[shrewd hill]

[shrewd hill]

...?

? have discord open on your second monitor, tf?
