Only 1.5% efficiency for air superiority
And 18% for CAS
Not sure why
The game doesn't give you info very clearly
I think it's because I only sent like 180 planes
I mean
It's Ethiopia
I thought it would be easy
But I can barely win the war ;-;
Wait u shouldn't be sending in planes to Ethiopia as Italy
U don't have to
Send most of ur troops back to Italy at the beginning and only keep a few u should be able to defeat them pretty moderately easy
Germany
so tuff youtube
I bought the game 2 days ago 💔
So what is Italy ai doing
high ambitions for reinforce meme
Nobody knows when the game will be discounted, otherwise I don’t want to pay $36 for it?
The journey will never end
help
my divisions wont move
there just stuck there
it says 0 hours untill they move but they just wont move
#tech-support has more people willing to help you but just check your game hasn't crashed
Reload game?
to late i just deleted the divisions and re made them
stupid tho
some experience wasted
3 million as the german high command intended
One dude to kick in the door
o.o the Soviet army sucks you can take em out if you have more than one guy per tile
Yeah
you do NOT need more than 2 field marshals
unless you guarding every border in the game
it's fun to have specialised army groups for different parts
of your newly built empire
personally
i just endless stack 18widith infantry and use 4 tank divisions
all you need in the game
lol yeah
I use those starting infantry temp to hold and a handful tanks to micro
I don't need em it's fun to encircle and stuff
yeah but what is this ww1
Rommel penetrate that man's front rn
infantry also make supply lines so easy to deal with
put 500 mils on guns and your set
also if I have to fight in Siberia type places of supply hub to supply hub I'll have an army of cavalry
Doesn't run out of fuel nice 6kph run
is this enough ship
gm chat
i though i was building battleship 🥀
you have 49 of those
yea it was all super heavy
not all but pretty much
like 90%
is superheavy worth it?
fire power frfr
lol
i think it got nerfed? but maybe carriers are fixed so yeah
good for AA
dont update frfr
i still play on 1.14 with no DLC
you say to someone who primarily plays in asia lol
new update is interesting but im not interesting but interesting
i can see
i know you can see
0% compliance😭
fr
Build more factories is an easy solution
DELICIOUS
NKVD my beloved
mhm
seems fair that albaina joined allies and called i half the world
should i build carrier chat
i have 5 dockyard left out of 256 idk wht to do with them fr
i dont have a clue about navy so idk
what do you guys think is the best space marine template?
for what
IC cost on an average inf division there is insane
europe
i usually use sp anti air 7 infantry 2 art
and upgrade it to 10 inf 4 art and 2 sp aa
I mean for SP do you need anything other than one battalion of heavy TD?
which support companies?
towed aa and artillery, engineer and logistics company
almost the same as mine
perfect for holding against germany as like a balkan nation
theyre ok offensively too but i usually use armoured divisions to push mainly if i have the industry
is it me or did paraox just ignore some countries that have coal and give them none?
am i in danger
yall think this is good vs allies with like 2k divisions?
Rifle division is genuinely sad btw
if its got more than 30 org then yes
yeah thats the problem
hungary is carying me
i cannot find anyone to play mp rn i wanted to do a central powers trio with ppl
w
lol
rate my encirclement
Did anyone notice that mongolia has a core on Hulunbuir? I was going for the 'genghis khan't' achievement, but after slapping mongolia with Sinkiang I find myself without achievement. Now i have to defeat Japan as well 🙁
yemen

what about the baltics
theyre kinda fun imo
pick one
ok
estonia for nordix unification latvia for uuuhhh and lithuania for poland lithuania usually
yea
The issue is the clauswitz engine, it only uses one CPU core due to that being the norm back in 2007 when it was first made
its an engine
it works
i wish i knew the math behind naval bombers. how do they find ships with 0 surface and sub detection...
i know they find ships. but how much diffrence it makes addig those fancy radioes, and better torpedoes to planes? And what about later techs, like those ship missiles for planes? They barely have more naval attack than torpedoes, are they worth it?
they are being locked away for so many special project and research, yet they feel so weak
uhmm?
you lost the government
iirc you have to do those US focuses
mcarthur is lazy and needs some time to arrive
never do that especially when encountering bugs
like if you need help/experience bugs, keep and send save
My honest reaction when the axis ask me to join the war
Oh didn't know that
keeping in mind for the next bug encounter
i mean you dont have to it just helps for devs if you have concrete proof/evidence
and for us to provide help
can someone assist me shortly ;-; im a returning player lowk and i just have no idea how to play germany since the DLC. literally cant breach USSR
have you clicked the free stats buttons?
what general did you grind?
the 15%+ attack thingy? think so
germany is so dumb any build should be able to breach ussr if you have better air + cas + bohme with level 10 attack + full regular planning + operational planning
now i dont think you have those
green air
its the combination of them
these mfs are almost impossible to full push after idk 3 months
omfg i think ik why
i mistakenly RESET MY DOCTRINE TREE
ah yeah thatll do it
not clicking enough free win buttons
idk what to press ;-;
ger veteran divs, get bohme (general) to level 10 attack with von kluge as field marshal, get CAS + air supremacy, do barb in at latest 1941, get gbp with a lot of planning bonus/attack buffs and click operational planning
idk. i did do most of that and i have HELLA air superiority
all red barely any green
USA is so much easier ;-;
need to do all of it
if you miss one of them its like a huge loss
how am i meant to get more than 3 veteran divs
USA is weak lmao
send more vols?
120 divs let you send more
you also have the condor legion
+2
you can send 9 to spain like 11 to japan
its so confusing ;-;
i see other germanys just slamming soviets in literally 2 months
yeah
.
idk the last time i played germany i took western europe while abiding versailles army limits and got bored before barb
thats so little 💔 how late did you start making mils
idk like mid 38?
converted wrong?
its may 3rd 1942 and i got 199 mils
usually you should make mils starting 1936
prolly
like january
fr?
yeah
okay?
you have an army?
its a war game not a stable economic growth into the cold war game
civs pay off in like 4 years if you consider MIL ic
possibly later
so your best production would be as late as 1942 with those civs
which is more like 43/44 for germany
you have like 10x better mils
10x better stats
actually mils is prob only like 4-5x better
each
compared to before
ah
you have more mil speed, more mil output by a LOT
compared to the US its not even close
1 german mil is like 2-3 US mils
equivalent
what the hell ;-;
in terms of output thats not talking like construction
with full efficiency which builds up over time
how many divisions u got
so you want them earlier
uhhhhh
youre probably using a trash general like manstein too
279
idk lemme check
templates?
that doesnt make the difference between winning or losing with 279 divisons though
pretty butt
bro its germany you can win with any template if you have stats
legit have basically the base infantry template cs it eats so much support equipment
tanks are chill tho
10 infantry divisions no military airforce
not even large theyre like 16 or 20 width or something
and that was before doctrine rework which also buffs germany a lot
100K manpower deployed limit*
you can win with anything 😭
i couldnt even get the czechs because i didnt have enough manpower deployed lmao
you should fr teach me ;-;
when u have time maybe
in a few hours
Is this a good?
who tf made border wars
cuz WHAT DO YOU MEAN I INSTANTLY LOSE EVEN IF THE OTHER NATION HAS NO TROOPS
they need to rework them
Is there a way to run Red Flood, Millenium Dawn, Great War Redux, and TFR all at the same time?
dude why is germany AI useless
they are not helping me at all
bro yes, it always got too atleast close to moscow
you havent even doubled uouyour army size since game start
does anyone know the diffrence between thermo and normal nukes?
I just ignore it
good rate?
just imagine trying to find a save that you last had 3 months ago
Meh I will find it eventually
Depends on circumstances, but generally yes, and it can even be amazing too
i started at a 2/1 disadvantage
How cooked am I?
it depends on how many mils you have
how did you even get to this point
did you have like 300 divisions in 1 tile
Yes
We have a chill hoi4 server with German only games looking for people dm for invite
🥂
leme add the strawberry to the cake
thats fine

ok easy fix
just like delete the army
ah yes the soviets will surely not nuke me
you have ai allies
theyre probably more equipped than you
💀
:p
I delete them when I'm done
You'd be surprised by how much storage they take up
yeah-
is grand battleplan still the best doctrine
could this already be considered bullying?
yes
Fighting against Ethiopia lol
I am trying to get exp
do u go outside
There is nothing like the feeling of taking Moscow with cavalry divisions.
At least Cavalry won't get bogged down in winter like tanks will either 😭
why cant i drop support light tank companies with paradrop divisions
irl there were plenty of light tanks made for paradropping(like M22, Alecto, Tetrarch)
why doesnt hoi4 allow to use support light tank companies in paratrooper divisions?
cap i have
hello yalls
That’s just a you issue
Ur computer prob is bad
When does it lag? Like pre 41?
there’s a spider under my bed and it’s the size of my hand
Is air support just bad early game?
Mission efficiency is minimal because of the tiny coverage
Superior firepower:
GBP still grants the best org
hoi
Why is your monitor sideways
im no expert but it’s looks good yeah
I'm playing on steam deck
And I took the pic with my phone
😭
DIABOLICAL‼️‼️‼️🔥🔥🔥🔥😱😱😱😱😱
Add 2 more spgs
Someone answer this, please
Is there a guide for the new navy. Don't have a clue how it works now
Air X 2
So I only have a keyboard and a mouse and my glasses
I play looking at a wall pretty much
i get a day every 2 seconds for my intel i7 cpu so im assuming it’s better than what i’ve got lol
in 1936 no mods ^
Yeah it's way better
HOI4 takes forever to load
Like a day/sec
Thats more of a harddrive issue then
I had the issue that my autosaves were taking ages
can’t believe a steam deck runs hoi4 better than my gaming laptop
because my drive was shit
Yea "gaming" laptop
Just get a pc atp
What should I do then
broke 😔
Gaming laptops are expensive as shit
hello
try to guess the country im playing
Fair
iran?
USA?
Does anyone know when there will be a discount on the game?
no
Thank you

i am currently home
@heavy vigil is a political figure allowed as pfp?
The hoi4 portraits are fine I believe
Nope! and its not USA either lol
its not from hoi, some guy in of topic has a donald pfp
the us president
That isnt allowed probably
Snitch
i thought so but was just making sure
Mods usually dont care about pfp though
why do i like this game so much...
If i got a nickel for how many days I've seen some people with some pfp, id have enough money for a candy bar in this eco
its addicting
You enjoy the mechanics
w
Because it’s absolute cinema
yooo
i like to do encirclements
able to do anything rn?
Anyone who says the game is bad means they are just bad
absolute cinema of a game, but vanilla is too easy, i like the black ice mod
fr fr, what is your opinion about the new dlc?
uuh yes
Good except price
Too expensive
I spent $50 and all I have so far are ship models and a redo of an older DLC
bet bet u able to hop in vc?
true but china and japan are goated now (not the terrain)
but the coal situation sucks
i will join a voice chat
It’s fine for some countries
aight
😂
its pretty bad for equatorial guinea
(Poor Italy)
yeah
Half my civs were going to coal
bet hollon me and my dad are having a conversation
not allowed.
(im kidding)
🦒
shouldve gotten the subscription no??
I could, but I already own basically everything
Also I just prefer to own than rent
Posting this masterpiece again
It exchanged every single tank in my stockpiles in literally a day
How the hell
Vanilla, only visual mods
Conversion moment?
I see that checkmark at the bottom left
But Holy smokes, 43k tanks converted a day
I assume you are just switching from HMG to an actual cannon?
Yes
Howitzer 2’s or 1’s I don’t really remember
The convert had a radio and HMG
that’s it
The actual one had like the usual medium against AI
Howitzer
Max radio
Sloped
The like ammunition thing
Max engine
Christie suspension and welded armour
i was iceland
is this division good (sapce marine)
sea battle of Japan
total: communist Chinese victory
-15k manpower
- 8 Japan ships
(insert mao deong dancing here)
erm am i cooked
go to economic focus
you should maybe be able to squeeze a card or 2
this achievement is so cancer
I have capped Japan like 15 times and I can't get the achievement because the capitulation event doesn't pop up
and the world tension is ANCHORED at 0% so they can't join a faction so they don't immediately go straight to a peace treaty 😄
I LOVE these achievements
good job PDX, better make sure when you make an achievement with 5000 checkmarks that many of them bug, great mechanics 👍
what will even happen if i lose a round
what the frick am i looking at
kaiserreich mod
pretty sure you either loose one health or nothing happens
the worst thing rn with it is debt bro like 130% 😭
PDX looooves enhancing player experience
guys pls dm me good soviet mp templates
black souls enjoyer
amazing
Subjective question: Are AI nations more or less competent at navy after the recent DLC/patch?
less
Ive been able to naval invade uk so much easier
and experience less naval invasions
oh so america is spain in kaiserreich alright
oh 🙁 that's too bad
Does anyone have a good cavalry template for early game pls
get enough cavarly in the template to either make 18 or 36 width
why do you want cavarly in eartly game
is this ur first time in kaisereich
ye
If anyone can give some suggestions, I really am not good with plane designs or tanks for Germany. Is infa spam decent enough? I can get through the belnux and France and all by 1940 but never to sea lion
And always lose to union regardless of when
Any videos or suggestions?
how do i increase world tension to 10 percent in 1947
they aint good at their jobs
lmao I am having this exact problem
how is it not at 100% in 1947 😭
justify on majors
they rise tension alot
i cant tension is too low
can you get wargoals from your focus?
no not really what i dont understand either is that germany, who has a war goal on yugoslavia does not use it
Rate the counties borders my friend think its great but i think its stinky
damn
how tf you got carthage
Idk how he got it
i think its a mod
btw algeria is his puppet lol
for some reason
Guys, I play on bootcamp and it’s kind of old. I’ve heard that the reason why it gets heavy is because the amount of divisions and countries. Could you guys recommend any mods to prevent this?
yup one sec
Ty
K
why does non historical japan ai always pull ts
Because even the japanese ai know thats the most useable of the old japan alt hist paths
Why would I
yo lads
In my non historical games they always do historical
?
?
Belgium
im so confused
Im naming nations that can beat germany
bruh its not what i meant respectfully
like i see videos of these dudes just beating germany as poland
easily
Oh I misread it
when i try to recreate what they do i just get shit on by their units
Okay what tf is happening
Well as poland its not hard to survive just hold 4 states with infantry till you got a big army
yeah that doesnt really help
pov: you turn off historical mode
Hold Warsaw todz katowice and kielce until you got an army that can take Germany
ik this would work for you and all that but the thing is your basically asking me to wait until the end of the war to do anything
im not that good at the game so i may not even be able to hold those
You dont have to wait till the end of the war
Theres always option 2
Use space marines
its expensive for smaller industries
plus im not playing poland i just asked how to people who are minors fight germany
last game i did the austrian empire
and still got shit on
as soon as they got through the forts
it was over
By germany?
Historical path?
yes
If you can do reform the central powers germany cant do anschluss
the thing is its not preventing germany from attacking me its that how do i actually beat them
because ive been allies with the germans in so many games and ive been a german enemy in so many games
Howd they still attack you?
there was an event or whatever that said they got tired of waiting or smth
idk what it was about but they could declare war on us
Weird that hasn't happened to ne before
maybe its new? idk
Im playing as Austria rn
oh nice
will great britain ever declare? its 0 percent world tension
you need world tension to declare war as democratic
howd it happen? im desperate
literally 0 percent in 1950
oh 💔
why are you guys suffering from world tension so hard
tf is going on there
did everyone go democratic
what can i do? so it atleast goes up to 10 percent and i can declare on yugoslavia and form austria hungary
theres a focus which allows you to declare war on them
i did coups but that didnt do anything either
i only have base game
as hungary or austria
Negative 200 pp
h
shits not moving at all
why does poland have half of bulgaria
i dont know it has all of russia aswell
took bro a while to write that
anyone have a good tank design?(1940 technology)
Ok... so either I am a hidden genious or Japan has been ridiculously nerfed on both terms of AI and debuffs because I think the size of this military disaster should be enough to spark a Japanese century of humiliation. I mean it's only 1939, should I even accept peace? My only regret is that I don't have enough boats yet to invade their mainland.
your a hidden genius
im going insane ive been trying this for so long now and of all things poland is superb
Yall italy is so nice they guaranteed me
they forgot the left
this achievement SUCKED
its a 15 min timer
can anyone explain this? what does all owned states mean
whats up sunshine i'm coy wire and this is cnn 10
All states that you own as in are entirely yours (not controlled)
Controlled would mean states another country owns but you occupy
nvm i figured it out a minute later
but still thank you so much
No problem
used cheats to peace out
tried to be fair
denmark got holstein country and I got the swedish german territiroys
"we have eu4 at home"
eu4 at home:
Peak mod
How it felt for me to annex Etiophia after 5000 tries
Is it rare that every Baltic state is going communist on non historical
im cooked
Its fun but buggy
Tanna Tuva border is incorrect at their easternmost province
Alright, gng. Who will win? The Ally's Maginot line in the year of our Lord 1942, or 95 of my meme infantry division?
what kind of flag is that?
It's Conservative path of democratic german kingdom
Kingdom of Germany (Democratic) LOL

after 39-41
Ye thats a pc issue
Then why are there so many steam reviews complaning abt the lag? Doesn’t look like it’s a me issue. Also, my PC is a good one for gaming
What is ur cpu
Lemme check, hold up
diabolical amount of popups
99/100 times HoI4 is bottlenecked by cpu not gpu
can you drop me your designs for battalions?
guys look what i got
WE'RE GONNA MAKE IT BOYS
grass is afraid of you
that works?
id like to mention that yall missed out with the new dlc not doing mongolia
it's my meme template
crazy dedication
Tnx in just 5k hours
anyways im a bit new to hoi4. If you don't mind could you explain to me the main uses for light tanks, medium tanks, heavy tanks and the stats to try to min/max with reasonable production cost on their designs?
How to fix no accessible regions problem
I have both Gibraltar and Suez I don't understand the problem lol
when you click on the fleet and go on the left of the screen theres something like a mini gear somewhere
i dont remember the name
fleet base or something i dont remember
set it to auto
Does anyone know if the intelligence agencies are realistic? Does the CIA or Mossad have higher chance of completing a mission than other agencies?
it depends on your spies
I have done it I hope it works
So its not based off irl?
Hey guys what DLC do you absolutely need I have a few of them but only the ones that they've gave out for free over the years and I could maybe buy a few
nope
ok thank you
get no step back and bba
they are the best ones to get first
yeah do this. add medium supprt flame tank in the empty support slot. replace trucks with mechanised if you can afford. replace mechanised with amtraks if you can afford.
It worked thank you
bba has air design and nsb has tank design
But why the hell this is not automatically picked up
Do I have to suffer for a while until I ask someone lol
these are all the ones i have got for free mostly just from like them having it for free for like one day or something
NO TANKS IN THIS WAR
Are these any good?
yeah that's a standard defensive line
Yeah but if you want my suggestion I'd probably put the anti-air in a better division but it's fine also it's usually better to actually have artillery and anti-air in a main slot because of how big of a difference it is and it doesn't cost that many more guns
this is a good cheap variant if you're playing a minor nation. i'd just take out the AT if you're playing against bots.
im in a single player run
also what use do light tanks have?
Default light tanks?
ye
i only use light tanks on my armoured support scout battlegroup tbh
Build some railways
LADY'S AND GENTLEMEN WE GOT HER
what things do you suggest adding onto medium tanks when designing them
@tacit sluice what in the zoophile tag (no I'm not calling furries zoophiles)
you had also recognised that tag I see ❤️
at first I thought that I was seeing things
Pickle
should look like this but with 14 engine and armor and last empty module is whatever support module gives you the most breakthrough
the fact you manage to do these things with a meme design while I try to play normally and get into these situations somehow
What if I wanna take all of the armor off give it a 50cal only and give it bicycle pedals for power
Infantry only Greece world conquest goes hard
Look at my soft attack vs my estimated production cost. these are my 'tanks' LOL
I'd cry if I ran into that
check out my logistics
Seems pretty logistical
💀
could one win against the soviets with these types of numbers?
genuinly curious on how salvagable my run is
Bros troops are fighting with power of friendship
Yall how do people have flags to indicate troops like in videos?
even the bots are better armed than me 😭
can you push into switzerland without mountaineers?
This is Germania
French is the new German
When you realize you have to defeat all the bloody allies to name Berlin Germania 😇
Peak reward
wtf are these borders bro
yeah. it just depends how much IC you're willing to lose. If you're past the point of caring about alotting your military factories, then you probably have enough IC to just throw a bunch of trashfantry divisions until the problem goes away
Shoud I play as switzerland on my next run?
Danzig supremacy
no hard attack
Name Stalingrad Hitlerstadt
this ahcievement (bottom left) made me cry 10 times
Btw should i keep france annexed or puppet them
And if i keep them annexed which law should i use
franco british union is wild
true
How hard is it to conquer europe as luxembourg?
just make a super heavy at that point gng
depends
pretty hard if you don't know what u are doing
How wonderful that I don't know what I'm doing half the time with the most broken ahh nations
surely this won't be the worst experience today right?
I mean
you can just use 2w paradroppers
and save and reload to get them to launch
in doing so u should cap france
like immediately
If I were to do a Belgium run should I try to take over france as soon as possible too?
yeah
if you want boring paratrooper gameplay yes
they have that one spirit
otherwise might be better to take germany first
I saw a game where Germany had double those casualties and the Soviet Union had half a million less casualties than germany
(in historical)
I was playing Com Japan
great focus tree btw highly recommend
OH NO NO NO
what
its gonna be a long war
2650 torpedo dmg
how did you take over the US?
probably early sea lion and invade through canada
man german ai took it and thats a damn good question
Help since man the guns became free I have no idea how naval invasions work I can't get naval supremacy
what am I doing wrong?
so they took US earlier than belgium or netherlands?
yeah
they arent even at war
Your fleet is not in that region
You either have other sea section assigned to them already
Or
damn france is still standingf
Some state is holding the canal
it's kinda working now, but it isn't turning green
WW2 (Good Ending)
we do a lil bit of raidin
You may not like it, but this is the good ending
"Just blend in!"
Japan is confirmed stronger than Germany I guess
I killed the Soviets in 1940 as Japan
BRO JUST BLEND IN
Yo
Yo
How are you doing
Good
Thats great to hear
Just noticed that in the Chilean Communist/Democratic path, you can on one hand you get a focus ford volunteers to the republicans, but on the other hand a focus with the republican flag as the icon saying "host Spanish refugees". I guess that the nationalists win now has to happen
is space marine strat for single player a bit too much?
Do what you want in Singleplayer.
Sometimes you gotta save on manpower and suddenly they become relevant.
its not that bad
the woman with over a thousand Soft Attack:
Big boom.
@tulip thorn My brain hurts micro-ing. 95% of Griffonia apart from Grencylf and the islands off the Minotaurs have been overrun by the undead
all that just to get incircled because your units redeployed randomly
Thats crazy
the league of the dread
I guess 28 pranks later wasnt just a prank

I do not want to spend the next 3-4 years rebuilding a navy from scratch with a -800% research penalty because of detached country
💀
-800%
You might aswell just not research anything ever
The focus tree is pretty old that it skips the new primitive destroyer and destroyer I
whats the best way to play yugo
I will say that -35% infantry production cost is really good
Coupled with an extra +200% factory output
Probably a supporting axis minor
wouldnt i just lose ww2
but how we gonna invade britain
get a collab
air
paratroopers?
yes
wat divsions should i make
cos i always get pushed or cant push
and does yugo get buffs for tanks with the focus
one last question do i do polotics first or industry or army
so like mountaners
dang mine only make 786 soft attack
We usually have some division templates in the pins of #ask-for-help-here made by some of our fellow game helpers
so i just focus on making good pushing troops
Yes
is this a good mountainer template i found it on tiktok
does anyone know a good mountineer division
so should this be my military production aswell as fighters
i need an army research thing right
yeah
is yugo better with road to 56 or just dlc focus tree
probs not as yugoslavia
is there a cheaper one
i'd probs do this as yugo
alr thanks
Anyone have a good infantry template for Germany?
Ehh
2 stack of infantry
Enginere
Artilery
1 altirely
I’ve been using 7 infantry and 2 arty
Reconesance
I just won against the allies and comintern with just this
Yeah thats good
Ok
The combath with
no micro
AHHH
/j
If there wasnt that/j ud wake up with a strongly worded letter at ur door step
yo lads does the infantry expert in high command apply to militia as well?
I don't know
