Oh ok I will try it😁
Do they have orders assigned
i right clicked to move them
you need to make a fall back line on the british islands
still not moving
what does that mean
in conclusion i hate playing as uk and will never touch them again
Your just over thinking
Do you have military access?
but if you want something easier and simpler
Play a minor nation like Canada, Hungary, Romania or even bulgaria
yes
i tried hungary and got assaulted by the germans
maybe ill do romania
how
Well it's an armoured car division so might aswell just remove it
i could not think of anything more boring than playing canada
On historical they will never invade you
thats why
hahaha
surely its really boring to be historical hungary
what do they actually do
dont they just become a german puppet in the end
you help in the ussr war and north africa
no lol
how do I fix this
so, taking moscow effectively ended the eastern war-
okay so what do i do as hungary then
just like
make troops
then join axis when they fight ussr
but you said to do historical
I didnt say to
welp, that was easier then expected-
dispersed or concentrated industry for hungary
realpolitk aaah
concentrated is like better 99% of the time
okay
for every nation
“Yugoslavia has joined the greater East Asian co-prosperity sphere”
We all had that moment once or twice when the most insane alliance formed
where can i find good inf templates for hungary
Happened to me as AH once
Just look at ask for help pins for good templates
who do i take here
Hey so is there any HOI4 society experiments?
Get a military hight command or just save pp
okay
Wait no i think you cant get an army command guy up until you get rid of trianon
In which case just save pp
How many tank divisions should I actually have as germany coming up to 1939
gentlemen
I've done it
I got a girlfriend as a hoi4 player
The March to moscow begins
Hmmm march 4th hmmm
guys Silesia needs its own focus tree
anywhere from 0 to 24
you don't actually need any, and it is both unrealistic and difficult to sustain to have more than 24

you will be fine with just 6
Play Road, ez
Take 6 and just use it to breakthrough and encircle?
yeah
heya have a good weekend
Just picked up this book yesterday "Always with Honor" and it mentioned Hoi4 in the publishers note
me and 2 friends are playing together and wanna make 3 country faction im italiy one friend is germany and another is france, so the france guy needed to turn france facist to get in a faction but halfway through a war between germany and france started so even though hes now facist we cant be in a faction ( im already in a faction with germany ) can they cancel the war or somethinmg? is there any way to stop the war
It's a releaseable so it ain't happening
Unless it's kaiserredux cause literally everything has a focus tree
Minus Nepal and the small Indian monarchy in the south
bohemia
What about it? They also have a tree
my game is gonna break
how tf do i win this war
@slow crypt how's your best friend doing
@raw tulip pookie pie
end me
🤔
Want me to show you?
It's fallback
Let them take your land
And then you attack
crazy org for tanks-
That was one of the first ever achievements I have gotten
Wilhelm died on 39
not 41
😭
They should patch that tbh
Not my fault that the game decided to kill Wilhelm early on
i have finals 😭
Nah...
Finals
Doesn't finish you
But you
Finish Hoi4
a bit awkward-
no doubt in my mind that you will pass
I love how Poland just doesn't care enough to proclaim the commonwealth
pookie pie...
bro carried the whole ww2 🙏
@desert echo do you celebrate christmas?
No, but I believe in Santa

Yes? I never try
its actually insane
Yeah let me see
The part that you think is good info lol
is that a mlp pfp

I get asked that question a little too much, they are either just asking. Or go strait into insults
what i wanted to say would get me banned
It gave the best UK guide

Anyway, a friend of mine asked me about something
So basically, 10 width mech divs
With f. Hospital, signal, and motor recon
Main strat is to make opps lose org while we push them more and more
The manpower casualties is quite high, the question is... Is it in theory could work?
guys why isnt the game allowing to change my setting? even after it tell me to restart and when i restart the changes didnt happen
what did you change
just wanted hotjoin on to play with my friend
even graphic setting it isnt accepting the changes
it tell me to restart
i do but nothing changes
Yes but it’s better to make the divs bigger
That's what I have been telling the guy
I already said that it'll eventually trash all your manpower
Meanwhile manpower is finite unless you're China or Sov
The hordes are back
I bought the new DLC for 5 dollars cheaper
mongols shall have their revenge
with gotterdamerung btw
what
yes
do nuclear reactors in collaboration governments give you or them nuke progress
What ideology should Japan be when playing for the USA so it doesn’t declare war on the Philippines? Is it possible to do that in the settings of the game in the beginning?
Yes bro Sweden is at war with it's puppet 🥀
And because of this I cannot invade them from Denmark lmao
can anyone send mee good heavy tank for soviets templates aand e.t.c
Hello guys
caldruki backwards is ikurdlac
Enrique
Ладно
Please English only in this server
I can't speak my own language?
No
Is it forbidden?
Yes
How does this bother you?
99.5% of people wont know what youre saying
Maybe I want to make friends with people who understand me
i hate the monarchists
Thanks for that information twin
satürkvarmi
are you a monarchist?
Does my account look monarchist?
No wbuu
no
Goood
hello кomrade
Hes back 🥹
2nd times the charm
1st times the charm as well
well it didnt work
Says the guy who got banned from bittersteel
For being too authoritarian
im banned frfom kaiserreich dizzy my favorite hoi4 mod plz if u can help them tghe they make them uban me
Thats a crappy server tbh
No loss there
cherry picking data again huh
i think youll find it surprising that im not authoritarian
Nah I’m rubbing salt in your wounds
and indeed, the only authoritarian person ive ever supported was tito
yum...
hm
vegemite
so name another authoritarian ive supported
is this breaking rule 2
Okay fair I generalizied from some nasty convos I have had with worse people who have believed in the same stuff
and ive only supported some of lenins policies, i vehemently oppose the new economic policy, which reintroduced capitalism
For some reason, sometimes Belgium gives up Congo and gets a war goal on Germany and the Congo
you gotta release congo as a puppet
ohhh
Starting to understand Navy more now
Managed to screw up the entire British Navy in the med. ocean as Italy
"Russian" norway
Italy is actually pretty fun
The devs should add more Churchill speechs I think
germany mad
probably just because china has an insane equipment deficit on start
go accept british naval dominance path
u can even get old colonies
diplomatic german empire path is sick
5 days till christmas

i need moe factories
pov you accidentally kickstart ww2 in 1938 after betting on the germans backing down
Someone laugh at me
Hahahaha
I feel like i should get an laptop or PC now again, ty
Any time pal
My laptop aint working and holidays just started and i cant play hoi4 anymore 😔
It's been 2 months now i think
Hello guys
I should revamp my tank divs they’re really outdated for 41
is this a successful italian playthrough for 1941?
probably
L germans
It's 1943
Britain has <50 troops
but i can't get over cuz of their navy
Britain sucks
i am gonna build a navy and put an end to this war
just do para instead
its easier
i need more org
My God your army is fighting with fists instead of guns
1940
good good
why was germany stuck in 1939 small arms since 1945?
пацаны, с кем можно пойти поиграть
cho ble?
что за бле
i dont have any dlcs what would you guys recomend im gonna get the resistance one but anything else?
How's your air force
Also beware Hungary
is it me or are yall crashing
Gotterdamerung
if you want Netherlands & Belgium & Germany & Hungary & Austria
ok thanks
and Congo
Its you and the mods
Götterdämmerung doesn’t have Netherlands, it’s free with Man the Guns
If i would chose to marry one thing from hoi4 that would be the radar
or just buy the subscription and get all of them
7 bucks a month
oh?
I thought it did
no gotterdammerung austria germany alt-history and belgium
And Hungary
oh and hungaty
yh
hungarys was not vastly remade though
still kept some old focuses
A few but it’s much better
Any germany mains here, would you say Romania joining comintern or Allies greatly affects the Axis strategically and economically?
in sp or mp
its doesnt matter if they join me i dont get the resources anyway
Trade other countries for more than you need so it stays full and build synthetic oil refineries and storage
Sp
bold of you to assume im not sanctioned by like half of the world
but other than trade
doesn't really matter
what do i do
like you can just conquer them
they have oil which is nice and can be important
but you can just take it, also for most of the game you can trade with iran
i feel like hitler but worse militarily
Im thinking of playing Democratic, Non allinged or communist Romania. Wondering how much it would affect the A.i. axis
not much
germany focus tree doesnt suggest attacking romania
maybe bulgaria does
but other than that u should be fine
I figured since they are a close ally and usually push hard into USSR from there.
id say its better without romania cuz it just opens up the front too much and streches ur forces
The Allies doing nothing for some reason
i wonder why 🍏
Like seriously if this ever happened the Allies would probably intervene because this war just shut down the Suez canal
And that's just not permissible when you have a world war going on
Since the big changes Ive only played UK navy which uses a lot of fuel. I had to trade like 10 civ for enough oil to maintain the war effort.
I imagine it might be harder to trade for the axis though.
i mean egypt is half independent so from start it signals theres something wrong in their head
disabled guarantees for the run
Some spirits/traits/laws also give bonus to fuel use so you don't use as much so fast.
is this winnable 😭
absolutely
whats the meta for medals
im working on my airforce and the med is pretty safe
but im not sure how to push
i'd peel back to egypt in the eastern front as there's not much of value there and focus on making sure none of your allies collapse, then when everything is stable pushing from hungary into western poland where the whole area is plains i think is your best attacking point
make sure you take gibraltar fast
spain cant join the war yet
and if you can push them out of morrocco then you can take off every port garrisson
wel whenever that may be
wouldnt holding out in southern sudan be safer tho?
impossible for either side to push and its a very thin border (east africa is not in the war)
oh i didn't know east africa wasn't in the war
yeah southern sudan is a solid hold
with east africa not involved
and extremely low on rubber and germany is destroying my logistics
for rubber buy as much asyou can from siam and naval invade ceylon from east african territory. this isn't multipalyer there's no rule against naval invading from neutral countries. make sure you stack like a dozen divs on ceylon after you take it and put it on forced labor for more rubber
yo why ts game so comiplcated
il try that
oof
because we (yes WE twin) are lonely and diving into the spreadsheets lets us distract ourselves from our crippling sense of despair
i cant even make my troops move and all the tabs might as well be in different languages son
if you have any garrissons on the inside of the adriatic sea you can pull them off
also you can request forces all of italian yugoslavias divisions
losing hungary would not be great
once you start to get used to it it ends up becoming second nature
like a 2 year old has no idea how to tie a shoelace but yo don't even think about it anymore
yeah but it doesnt take 100 hours of playtime to learn how to do a basic mechanic to tie a shoelace
it took me 3 hours but tbf i watched a laot of bokoen before then and a lot of it rubbed off on me
this game has tooooo many achievements
wait
for some reason
despite me never calling them in
only hungary is at war
non of the other balakn countries
call in romania and yugoslavia
might just let them in
wel it seems like hungary is not your puppet
why would i do that
where the others are
yes
they have no frontline so all of their divisiosn can be ccommmitted to teh front
since you're the puppet overlord you can just request forces their ddivisions and throw them to stabilize hungary
spain?
imagine saying the uk is hard to defeat
Yeah attacking the UK in 1938 is quite doable
benjamin is proud
Do they even put up naval supremacy pre-war
ikr
yeah i main japan and i was anticipating an epic naval war with Britain
depends on the year but if you have the navy or airforce yeah they are easy
i didnt have neither
Yeah, you just crossed the channel and comquered the place right?
they gave their carriers 0 protection
what did you even do
yep lol
Thats airforce
only over the battlefield
would be cool if ai used like
half of their navy
Would be cool if the AI just let us annex them
yeah but they didnt use on the channel
👍
Yeah still thats airforce
neither over south england
at least they dont skimp out with air, playing Italy and seeing 2000 fighters over 1 region when it was just 41
but i didnt have supremacy
was scary
neither did they tho
You don't need supremacy just equal for paradroping if thats correct
but what I meant by Airforce was paradroping
so yeah
you did
You need at least one of them to win agaisnt UK
at least I didn't see any other way yet
hell, ai is so buns with navy ive even found it possible to naval invade Japan as China with some prep
So, I was editing footage and apparently, this is all you need to capitulate the Soviet Union
Not a single collab government
They might have lost Vladivostok though, not entirely sure
Gotta defend against a potential British naval invasion
They got some bigger problems bro
there must be a third party reason for this that's nowhere near enough territory to cap them
maybe an ai nation dida collab or smth
i feel like a third front opening would bea bigger problem
probably vladivostok
I inflicted 7.2 million casualties
and some of the east fell
They had like 0 war support
doesn't matter as long as its the soviets ngl
the war support might effect it a little but tbh
doesn't matter for any country
I overran a solid 50% of their troops
them capping wthout losing minsk smolensk or leningrad is eyebrow rasing
doesn't effect cap process
raising
Casualties do
Casualties lower war support, raising surrender limit
Its the soviets I doubt that would do anything
They have like gazillion cities you didn't get
even with 0 war support
They never went to war with Germany
so?
eyebrows raise if they don't lose minsk smolensk or leningrad and they cap
How do you get Lithuania to say yes when doing tributes for guarantees monarchy germany
those are big vps
I took Smolensk
That is when they capped
minsk and leningrad are still nto small
also the eastern poland vps
and the baltic vps
right forgot about that
Leningrad?
I'm still wondering how I capped without Leningrad or Minsk
but no with 0 collabs without leningrad and minsk that's not possible
are you sure an ai didn't do a collab
Check the east
if there is nothing than probably a bug
or a mod you forgot had
AI would prob only do collab when we are skeletons and HOI5 is out
No mods
I am just editing footage
I think the US might have naval invaded Vladivostok
can you send the whole clip of like the minute before they cap
vro can someone join my mp 🙁
Doubt vladivostok would be anything when minsk and leningrad
exist
most likely glitch or bug
And it has been a few months since I wanted Commonwealth of Nations
Once again, the Soviets had -30% war support from casualties
Still doubt that would effect them without losing Leningrad but yeah you told us
maybe there's a malus i'm not aware of that the soviets might get that makes them require less surrender progress
Oh, they also had like -30% from convoys raided
again
so that is -60% war support
Yeah
Well, guess I'm just going to go to a new game and TP and lower war support to see their surrender progress
I do know the Soviets didn't have anything done past Desperate Measures
Because they never went to war against Germany
Thats most likely on germanys part
Soviet AI from what I have seen never declares war on Germany and most of the time its reversed
hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
I'm fine thank you.
I killed Germany before they did anything
So Soviets just sat all game doing nothing
can they start an offensive PLEASE
Armored Cars are just that OP
They wont
You know what this is?
Jeez man
Thats just torture
why armored cars
eh literally anything is good enough to beat the ai
I wanted max speed
And I got divisions that went over 20 km/h
I think the mechanized gave more stats than the cars, but the cars evicerated the soviet tanks
I just overran the Soviet frontlines
how did they
even do anything
I doubt theyd have the org
they would most likely be vaporized if a division even saw them
No, let me show my stats on my divs when im done testing
36 width armored car divisions are no joke
Well they are
But they can deal with all the Soviet divisions easily
It was 1945
As long as they lack equipment
I guess
But doubt they did since you got 60K
Infantry Eqp
It really didnt matter when I overran them
Once you make a breakthrough, just encircle and destroy
Or just overrun them as they are retreating and delete them
What I do is just set them to unhistorical
wait till civil war
take advantage
take most of important soviet places
than
absolutely
evaporate them
I once almost won as Poland but germany got me when I was vulnerable
I took out Germany by holding the line and then using my weaker armored cars to make a breakthrough and snake
Early armored cars suck
When theres no one in berlin yet the allies wont take it
@junior imp Yeah something is off
I haven't taken Vladivostok yet
It might be that one African nation that Ethiopia made revolt and white peacing causing some issue
But I don't think that country joined Comintern
do i have to control or own?
Told ya
NVM
I HAD TO LET THE GAME TICK
AHAH
WHO NEEDS LENINGRAD OR MINSK
oh
Honestly don't really think thats possible but eh
Cacusses have a crap ton of VPs
That is where a good chunk of your VPs are in the USSR
Here are my main divs
and my 46 wings of CAS
I mean the capitulation but sure
I literally occupied all of the caucasus and a lot more once but didn't even cap them
I thought you wanted to see the divisions I used, or at least the armored cars
They are good though
Were the Soviets at 0% war support
Most likely I had given them a lot of casiulties
Because they had the whole world against them convoy raiding, bombing, and inflicting casualties
Yeah, I was shocked too
leningrad
I wanted to drive to the sea
stalingrad and caucasus
didn't even reach it before they capped
crazy
and here my AI is just giving the soviets free encirclements
I did a lot of encirclements, but sometimes just driving killed the divisions
I was microing and left for a sec to check the baltics
than came back
saw my divs leaving odessa
for NO reason
to go to
leningrad
the OTHER
side of the soviet union
and had like 24 or 48 divs encircled
Ooooof
I just rage quit after that
Also least cursed UK doctrine tree
it ain't that bad just wait till you see the Austro Hungarian path doctrines I did
I don't have SSes rn
someone for a coop?
but they were very bad guaranteed
Ah shoot, I think I could have gotten more speed if I did mission type tactics
i could what's the deal
I had defense and armored even though had no tanks
That is so cursed, except for grand assault
Coop countries
no i mean
like Germany and Austria
any country you want
nvm the channel is full
i have all all the dlcs
armored car things?
helpin lounge 1
deffinetly it was
I literally just used APCs this game lmao
It'd be a blatant lie if I said armored cars are usefull
I saved a lot of garrison manpower by using them
I had 20k in stockpile, might as well
Especially since Ethiopia was being annoying with my colonies
armored cars aren't useful because they're the worst at what they do
but a player using the worst of teh worst is still more than enough for the ai
you can do this???
ok that's just willingly sabotaging yourself
Always could
I didn't even know improving these things were a thing
NO
I NEED SPEED
and it worked
extremely well
you can afford to lose like 2 mph in exchange for an actual damage increase the MECH has more soft attack than the armored car
use trucks
This would have lowered breakthrough
Trucks are too slow
how much slower does the armored car get if you max the main gun
a gazillion km/h
pathetic numbers
Okay that division is surprisingly not that bad
how did you get trucks to 16.5 kmh
that's still fast enough to overrun any other division in the game and it actually packs a touch of a punch
I think this just shows how good mechanized is and not how good armored cars are lol
slamming 12 36 width armored car divisions to a tile works just as well
and once you make a breakthrough you just snake
And no, I did not have supply problems
Well, my game is done
I have learned to appreciate mechanized
and I will never touch armored cars again probably
I only did this because the UK has a +15% division speed guy
If you did I would probably get you to the court
I hate the UK istg
I can't freaking do Sea Lion
They always push my units out of the island

Who you playing?
Probably, but sea lion could also refer to anyone just invading the UK 🤷🏽♂️
do i automaticcaly become non aligned if the popularity gets high enough
no
you hold a referendum or do a national focus
waht
vro i am stuck on democracy
Did you do democratic king?
yes 😭
You still have access to the fun war goal stuff
You get a focus that allows you to justify as a democracy
and all the imperialism stuff
which one is that
Let me check
goated
In any case... @lilac glen get air superiority, land in Liverpool. Cut the northern neck off, hold the southern line and take the north. Then all you need to do is push down. Landing in the South East is hardest. South West is easy but there's only one port and you have to push from one province in Devonshire. Scotland has too much negative terrain to push into and get bogged down. Wales can work, but again, quite a bit of negative terrain if you're not quick enough to push to the Welsh border before reinforcements arrive. North West is best due to supply.
what
I JUST REALIZED THAT AI FRANCE DOES DEFENSIVE STRATEGEMS
I thought they never do it
It is only 1946, but they completed it sometimes
The thing that removes disjointed government
France never takes that focus
anyway anyone hve any tidea on how to push through the czechs forts
you dont
or just bomb
I hold a grudge agaisnt you
know this
Whaado
the borders
If you own Germany, you should really do the top one
There is also a province that can be attacked by 3 tiles in the south as well
ok
Just the messenger
is this a good heavy tank temp?
me personally i dont use heavy tanks
i barely use light tanks
i just go full inf
that feels wrong
it works well though
i mean tanks do provide breakthrough
but u could just modify the inf template
I barely make tanks if you even consider me not forgeting they exist for like a full year
i put a load of artillery on my inf template and keep the combat width above or equal to 35
idk full inf just feels not fun
depends
if you are a minor hell yeah its fun
I keep forgeting those existed
bro how do u invade america from the atlantic tho as germany
are they op without the dlc or nah
thats the thing
You do not
just get canada
so how would i invade them
or one of the islands
ok how would i invade canada
Kill UK
Phalanx Ascendant or Unify the Nationalist Front
I mean you got 600 breakthrough
I guess that's good
Also I am going to do another meme run
So you know that Spain starts with helicopters at game start, right?
I am going to do an air cavalry Spain game
And I'm debating whether to go Fascist or Franco (also fascist since I need the take Paris achievement)
I think I will play the Falange
after a war
is there an easy way to spread troops out
so they dont sit in areas with low supply
like i wanna break them up
but i dont wanna move each individual troop
Anyways goodnight
But how do u invade them by land
Yeah, would be rough though because it's such a long distance
If u cant cross the atlanctic
Its just crossed out
I can definitely naval invade Canada i js cant access it for sm reason
why is the spanish ai so stupid and not attacking the divs i encircled for them
Their divisions have no strength
also maybe unplanned offensive modifiers
