[quasi shoal]

play, read pins of ask-for-help-here, and just read in here for tips in general

[fair horizon]

build ships

[fair horizon]

not even a real language or country smh

its a sea irl

with a bunch of "lore" made up to hide it from normal people

big fish doesnt want you to know this

[junior imp]

https://tenor.com/view/ohnepixel-ohne-what-vas-wtf-gif-14750849636315903969

[fair horizon]

its true

finland doesnt exist

paradox tries to hide it from us

[junior imp]

Paradox made it up for more DLCs

[fair horizon]

they have exclusive fishing rights over it

[turbid tulip]

does anyone know a state revamp mod that works with 1.17 that isnt kovas states

[junior imp]

Idk

[umbral smelt]

im doing a prussia run, do i unite germany or keep prussia

[fair horizon]

unite

[turbid tulip]

what a dumb question

unite ofc

[umbral smelt]

im new to the game

[turbid tulip]

man its an ideological question not a gameplay one

bismarck is rolling in his grave

[umbral smelt]

well it said that if i unite i make German territory core states

i dont know what core states are or how they help me

[turbid tulip]

btw you greek?

[umbral smelt]

yeah

[turbid tulip]

a greek making a german identity

[umbral smelt]

opa re despoth ths attikhs

[turbid tulip]

that makes two of us

[umbral smelt]

the question is for what reasons

[junior imp]

Gng how is this template

[turbid tulip]

line artillery is a scam bro

add 2 infantry and remove the line artillery

[junior imp]

Already have that

Its just Offensive

[turbid tulip]

9-0 with AA, support arty and engineers is the ideal infantry

[junior imp]

This is my other template

[atomic wolf]

Is this good for a beginner

[molten forge]

Anyone wanna do a stupid challange

[junior imp]

what did you even get

😭

[atomic wolf]

Most of South France some of Austria and Gdansk

[junior imp]

That has to be the worst decisions I have ever seen

[molten forge]

Wanna do the worst decision as well?

[atomic wolf]

it was all i could get bro? plus i started plying today

[junior imp]

?

[junior imp]

No I like as land

should have gotten coasts

not random states

[atomic wolf]

it wouldn't let me

[molten forge]

Say a country with like a medium lvl of industry

[junior imp]

or states with good resources

and

factories

[atomic wolf]

that was the only options i could get

il redo the save ig and try to get better deals

[junior imp]

no idea honestly I only played countries with no industry or a lot

maybe Turkey

or Romania

[molten forge]

Same

Let's say Austria

[atomic wolf]

yall as a beginner what is best for like beating Ethiopia or being good at wars

[molten forge]

Now try to do heavy army only

[junior imp]

Death sentence ngl

By that you mean heavy what though

[atomic wolf]

wait i can redo the peace deal what should i get

it's allowing me to take any of france

for some reason

[junior imp]

Take coasts with good resources

or factories

[atomic wolf]

okay

[junior imp]

By that you mean btw?

Heavy what?

[turbid tulip]

heavy fighter + heavy tank i think

aka inefficient as possible run

[junior imp]

Heavy tank only as Austria would be

death sentence

💀

[atomic wolf]

im pretty sure it's letting me set czech as a puppet

oh it is

[junior imp]

Then do it

Puppets are goated

[atomic wolf]

kk

[junior imp]

Alright now what do you want to do though?

[umbral smelt]

bro how did i get from prussia to the german reich

[kind vale]

Not as anarchist spain

[icy crescent]

I assume you played on Germany fragmented, picked Prussia.
Then formed Germany.
Or you played some kind of modpack.

[umbral smelt]

well yeah

[icy crescent]

Well, there's your answer.
You were fascist.

[umbral smelt]

well yeah but why isnt it Hitler that rules the country

oh wait its because the nsdap doesnt exist as prussia is alternate history

i think

[icy crescent]

Yes.

[umbral smelt]

great now any country i declare on joins the allies

[grizzled yarrow]

I got a question

Say chechz form the little entente or whatever and france joins if i cap them shouldnt France cap as well or that dosent work on major powers

[kind vale]

You have to cap all majors

[grizzled yarrow]

So my cheat code dosent work on france

Noted

[prisma gazelle]

question

[atomic grove]

of course

[prisma gazelle]

how to stop getting burned down from the game itself?

[grizzled yarrow]

Interesting.

[atomic grove]

what

[prisma gazelle]

yea

[atomic grove]

ur bad at the game?

[prisma gazelle]

hoi4 kinda got me burned down

specially with mods

[atomic grove]

oh

how many hours u got

maybe just dont play it for a while though

if ur burned out at something

usually ur just supposed to avoid it till it gets fun again

or play some countries with content that you haven't played

[prisma gazelle]

yea

tried millenium dawn as the usa under the democractic party

but i got bored, as i didn't start the invasion of iran

old worldblues, i almost was destoryed in terms of army

[atomic grove]

u tried shukshinist novosibirsk path in tno yet?

[cedar lance]

hello yalls

[prisma gazelle]

nope

the same problem for other games

the combat system is too dang hard

having to resort to cheats to win anything

[atomic grove]

u see this is why

this is why u are not having fun

obviously

play something in vanilla or something like kaiserreich

without that

[umbral smelt]

theres a ww1 mod?

[atomic grove]

yeah

kaiserreich isnt though

[umbral smelt]

dlc?

[atomic grove]

best ww1 mod u should play is great war redux

[atomic grove]

no

mod

obviously

[umbral smelt]

mods are free right

ive never applied one

[atomic grove]

yeah obviously

no ones gonna pay to use a mod

otherwise thats just a dlc

and kind of stealing

imo

kaiserreich is actually really fun though, u should try it out

[umbral smelt]

im struggling with vanilla

i dont like playing allies and when i play anything other than allies i get beaten up by the allies themselves

[atomic grove]

how

[umbral smelt]

well im new

[atomic grove]

oh

[umbral smelt]

and the allies have overwhelming force

[atomic grove]

no wondr

[umbral smelt]

i think they proved that in the real life ww2 aswell

[atomic grove]

do u know every mechanic in vanilla?

[umbral smelt]

no not really

i have no idea how to play air force

neither navy

but im alright on infantry

i battle plan

[atomic grove]

oh

u should probably watch the tutorials made by the official hoi4 channel

its quite complicated

[molten forge]

@junior imp sorry for not responding, pretty much military that's usually expensive such as heavy tanks, special forces, heavy planes, and advanced navy

[molten forge]

I have no idea how to beat Germany in this game

[atomic grove]

tanks

anti air

airplanes

anti tank if necessary

[junior imp]

I know but what you want to do though?

No problem btw

[molten forge]

Idk, Austria-Hungary?

[cedar lance]

wassup yalls

[untold current]

hej

[cedar lance]

hello

[untold current]

hi

IM SORRY

NO

accident

[remote quarry]

for basically all the minors in europe where you would fight germany you just make lots of infantry, hold the front and let germany bash into you, then you attack

[junior imp]

No like I get what you want to do but like why did you come and tell us at first?

[untold current]

genuine

[junior imp]

Its a heavy tank and etc only challenge though

[molten forge]

Wdym

[junior imp]

Like you asked something idk I forgor

way before this

[remote quarry]

what does that mean

[junior imp]

heavy tank and heavy fighters only

no infantry

[remote quarry]

?

[arctic nest]

huh

[remote quarry]

pure tank?

[molten forge]

About what middle industry nation would you pick

[remote quarry]

you need some infantry for hp

in the tank division

[junior imp]

Poland

more managable

gets free baltics at the start

Austria too small almost no factories

[untold current]

you know whats a fun chalange?

[molten forge]

Kk

[remote quarry]

also special forces are not expensive

[untold current]

get two people and play the baltics in historical

[molten forge]

I haven't really used em so idk sorry

[arctic nest]

yea maountainers are like the cheap break through divs

[remote quarry]

so what do you mean exactly

[cedar lance]

🇪🇪 tore down What Took CENTURIES to Build

[remote quarry]

you can only have tank battalions?

only tank divisions?

or what

[molten forge]

But besides like he heavy tanks, what would you guys count as heavy army

[arctic nest]

you need 3 people for baltics

[simple phoenix]

hello guys, has anyone happend with multiplayer bug?
So basically when i and my friend going multiplayer, the country we are playing is controlled by AI, he chooses focuses, researches, decisions.
If anyone knows how to fix this, help us please! We have all the DLC`s, the same version of the game, but the AI of the country we are choosing just remains!

[arctic nest]

there is no word like heavy army

[untold current]

yo + 2 more people

logic

[molten forge]

Fine what's a army that's expensive to make

[remote quarry]

restart the host

[untold current]

Eesti🇪🇪

[arctic nest]

uh do heavy fighter do super heavy battelship and do mechanised inf

[remote quarry]

25 heavy tank

most expensive division

but what's the point

[simple phoenix]

we tried it, the AI remains, i even typed ai ICE, loaded the save and he STILL was ON and ruining the game

[molten forge]

It's a challange for a guy

[remote quarry]

then say every division should have the default icon of a tank

[atomic grove]

land cruiser+super heavy arty+super heavy tank+ heavy tanks+ cast armor on all tanks

[molten forge]

I think let's let him breathe maybe

[atomic grove]

he wanted most expensive thing ever

[molten forge]

Heavy tanks, mechanised infantry, heavy battleships, heavy planes

[atomic grove]

and thats what it is

[remote quarry]

or do something normal like poland vs +5 germany and soviet

[atomic grove]

oh

i thought u meant most expensive division

[arctic nest]

ye

[arctic nest]

this is not brething

this is dying

[untold current]

any body down for a game?

[remote quarry]

huh then idk usually rehosting should fix it

[molten forge]

@junior imp so this the challenge

[arctic nest]

dont play as us

its easy as us

[molten forge]

His options are stuff such as Poland or austria

[arctic nest]

lol

[junior imp]

I ain't doing it don't look at me I know what grass and outside are

[molten forge]

No worries lol

Am just curious to see someone do it

(someone who isn't dumb as me)

[cedar lance]

i just subbed to a couple few new hoi4 mods

[arctic nest]

worried stalin?

[cedar lance]

what

[arctic nest]

a must have

[cedar lance]

show me

[cedar lance]

oh XD

[arctic nest]

as i sad a must have

[craggy trail]

[prisma gazelle]

then, how do i win agianst a enemy who has superior army

or in md, when my fuel always goes on the negative?

[arctic nest]

encircle or let them grind themselfe down

[prisma gazelle]

still

how should i do against arroyo in old world blues?

[arctic nest]

never plyed no idea

[cedar lance]

i have so MANY good hoi4 mods

that i can use and utilise

[atomic wolf]

yo guys im remaking Austria Hungary as a beginner and romaia is denying translvyiva to me should i go to war w them i got 149k+ manpower

[arctic nest]

idnt there a dession do ask germany

to help you

[snow rain]

depends if you're ready to go to war, know what you're doing and if france will intervene against you or no

[atomic wolf]

im gonna ask papa germany yes

[atomic wolf]

no one wants to help them anyway

[restive sable]

you're doing it as hungary right?

[atomic wolf]

ofc

[restive sable]

makes sense

[atomic wolf]

im Austria Hungary i have all of Czechoslovakia and austria

[arctic nest]

they usaly say yes after you get support of germans

[restive sable]

i honestly forgot there was a decision that'll seek support from one of the europeans

[patent thistle]

brazil now have the most modern battleships in the world (at that time)

[snow rain]

you sure ? did you get the event that says france will not enforce its guarantee ?

[atomic wolf]

they gave us half

[atomic wolf]

uhm no since i have good relations with France

[snow rain]

that doesn't matter

[atomic wolf]

oh wait they are

i mean

germany is guaranting my freedom

[arctic nest]

lol

they will still do demant suddeten

[snow rain]

still doesn't matter

[atomic wolf]

idk if they will since its like 1940

im on non historical

[arctic nest]

dawng how long did it take you

[arctic nest]

oh

[snow rain]

if france has a guarantee on romania and you dec on them, france will join
you need to make them get rid of it through the event where you demand transylvania, you don't back down and try to force them out

[atomic wolf]

for some reason Slovenia and Croatia is free so imma invade em

[cedar kite]

A dual monarchy?

[atomic wolf]

i suppose a another ww1 is gonna happen

[arctic nest]

realy messed up

[atomic wolf]

wdym

[arctic nest]

allmost more spirits than factorys

[arctic nest]

you need to do on his

to get full czek and all transivlania

[cedar kite]

Yep

[arctic nest]

and you can cap the axis if u nit bad

[arctic nest]

alr how did ths all happen in 36

[marble patio]

take that germany

[atomic wolf]

am i ready

[marble patio]

i'm benelux just for context

[cedar kite]

Im trying to mess around with console commands and sometimes so weird things happen

[marble patio]

i think 31k is the most germans i've ever killed

[arctic nest]

wtf is going on with you armys

[atomic wolf]

uh i have too much

[marble patio]

i managed to hold them off long enough that the allies might be able to succsessfully naval invade in this timeline

[molten forge]

Albania has no unique focus tree right?

[marble patio]

bro cut them up 😭

[atomic wolf]

how

[marble patio]

no i mean like

you cut them up

[cedar kite]

Like Kim I'll sung as leader of china

[marble patio]

why are they so spread out

[marble patio]

red sun rises

[cedar kite]

Also idk how this Japanese pm is leader of korea

[atomic wolf]

because im gonna go on multiple fronts

[marble patio]

still bro 2 divs per army is insane

[pearl raptor]

R56 better in historical accuracy?

[arctic nest]

yes

and you dont have 12 fronts

[atomic wolf]

i put it in 7 division armies

[arctic nest]

do 24

[atomic wolf]

kk

[cedar lance]

i usually SPAM a lot of divs and etc air and naval units as Estonia

[arctic nest]

i usually build super heavy battelships and land cruisers

[quiet vessel]

whats a fun achievement todo guyss

[cedar lance]

alr nice

i build ALL ships

[cedar kite]

Mostly yeah

[knotty vortex]

how to beat germany as the dutch

[cedar kite]

30 minutes of hell 😉

[arctic nest]

do forts

and hold behind river

[knotty vortex]

which river

[cedar kite]

Evacuate to batavia

[cedar kite]

The rhine

[quiet vessel]

already got it

haha

[knotty vortex]

how do i hold behind it

[cedar kite]

Return of the king, very easy to chesse

[quiet vessel]

how do you hold as netherlands?

[cedar kite]

The Dutch rhine

Like below

Where Rotterdam is

[knotty vortex]

im so confused how i defend

just give up all my land?

[quiet vessel]

no😭

have you ever played hoi4 before..?

[knotty vortex]

holding the river isnt very helpful

because either side is my territory

[quiet vessel]

if ur playing netherlands and holding against germany you can keep all ur land

get more actually

[cedar kite]

I usually go either far right path where you can annex Belgium and Netherlands for free and form eu or go wilhelmina

[quiet vessel]

if you take the right side of the focus tree by caving to the british you can form the benelux and get cores and annex all of belgium and luxembourg

so you have a decent industry

[cedar kite]

I just said tgat

[knotty vortex]

i usually do annex belgium and luxembourg

[quiet vessel]

then i usually make like 48 divs

[cedar kite]

Well you just ask nicely and they will do and you get core defense bonus

[knotty vortex]

this doesnt answer my question though; how am i supposed to hold behind the river

[quiet vessel]

just sit them on the frontline

[knotty vortex]

like this guy said

[quiet vessel]

you dont need to hold behind the river

[knotty vortex]

okay

[quiet vessel]

it can be done just on ur frontline easily

just make sure to add some anti air

[knotty vortex]

alright

[quiet vessel]

builds some forts on ur border where you'll hold

[knotty vortex]

so basically build max forts and aa on the border?

[quiet vessel]

yeah

[knotty vortex]

ill rush the beneloux federation and then reinforce

[quiet vessel]

when you annex belgium and luxemb you'll be able to do it

[quiet vessel]

isnt there also a focus called like learn from the ones before us or somethig

[arctic nest]

yea you dont want that enemy minus 30% attack

[quiet vessel]

it gives more defendse on core i think

[quiet vessel]

why would you if you dont need to😭

you can easily hold just ur normal frontline

its even easier with the ncns now because if u take desperate defense u can get a 5 percent recruitsble pop

so you can get more divs out

since the main problem is manpower not equipment

[arctic nest]

ye

[knotty vortex]

nope

do you mean this

[quiet vessel]

yes

that one

[knotty vortex]

ill rush that

then ill rush this]

[quiet vessel]

i also usually go for the new militsry commisioner or sum

[quiet vessel]

rush benelux and lessons, then war on pacifism to get decisions to get rid of ur spirit

[knotty vortex]

yeah okay

[quiet vessel]

theres a focus called like recruit a new military high commissioner or something

which gives u a head of army guy

for +10% defence

[junior imp]

What is this

Francis thank you btw

with your help this was possible 👍

[snow rain]

red is the base hold
blue is the hold if you know what you're doing
green is the line for the achievement run (not losing any core state to germany)

[knotty vortex]

now this is helpful

[wicked glacier]

[knotty vortex]

what do you mean by the blue one?

[snow rain]

blue line

[atomic wolf]

of course i see the german Reich being overthrow by the german empire

There's 2

[umbral agate]

[safe wing]

You will rarely get the first one

[sly elm]

how to invade the french empire as democratic germany in 3 easy steps,
step 1, let them invade the benelux, once they declared on belgium quickly guarrantee the netherlands, catching them offguard.
step 2, once they declared on the netherlands, join the war and quickly take the maginot line before doing anything else, after this get a faction or ask to move troops through belgium and luxembourg
step 3, Your divisions should be stronger than the french ones due to coming out of a civil war, 1 german division should be able to easily overpower 3 french divisions. Enjoy and rush paris!

[cedar kite]

I like how the new dlc removed 6 year old pol pot but we still have 10 year old fidel castro as an advisor lol

[sly elm]

fidel castro was a military genius since birth, trust the hoi4 devs

democratic germany overpowered real?!!?!

[cedar kite]

I dont think the us knows that I beat them to the bomb

[rain loom]

the larpers are winning

[sly elm]

dunkurk if it was bigger

[cedar kite]

This is like what every alt ww2 scenario starts with

Ooooooo what if Dunkirk was worse

[sly elm]

what if dunkurk was worse but the british were facist and the germans were democratic

[opal nymph]

So, where's the British troops

[sly elm]

6 feet under

[opal nymph]

Pain

[atomic wolf]

what country should i play in hoi4 i know how to deploy make factories and build army but not good at fighting with them

also i started playing like today

[sly elm]

Germany is a great beginner nation

You have an easy way of building up your army

[atomic wolf]

i tried and then got railed by france

[sly elm]

you get free territories

[sly elm]

watch a tutorial

[opal nymph]

Hungary is decent for beginners

You get a bunch of free land and you get to play Axis assist

[sly elm]

IF you have dlc's

[opal nymph]

Even without DLC you can still be Axis assist

[sly elm]

else its just boring ngl

[opal nymph]

This is for learning the game, like figuring out templates and such

[sly elm]

true

[opal nymph]

Playing Romania is actually when I figured things out

After stalemating as Germany constantly

[sly elm]

Switzerland is also a good choice for learning, you get great divisions from the get go so you can study them and see how they work

[atomic wolf]

so what should i play as

[opal nymph]

Hungary, Canada, Germany, USA

One of those 4

[sly elm]

if you want to learn army, switzerland, hungary and germany are great

[opal nymph]

Switzerland is pain

You have a bunch of unique mechanics that do not translate to other countries

[sly elm]

switzerland is a pain to invade

[opal nymph]

Hungary is Axis assist, Canada is Allied assist, Germany allows you to control when the war starts, USA has a massive industry and is protected by oceans

[atomic wolf]

i played ireland a few hours ago and managed to get some of poland and france and some of austria is that good

[opal nymph]

But it doesn't translate well to other countries

[sly elm]

usa aint great starter if you dont have a clue how navies work

[atomic wolf]

i had like 182k manpower

[opal nymph]

For Ireland? yeah I guess

[opal nymph]

And you can still do well

[rain loom]

first time i carried a republican win

[sly elm]

and if you don't have the best PC you start lagging in 1943 when you actually start fighting

[opal nymph]

Navy is simply group the surface fleet up into 1 navy, split into a pacific and atlantic fleet and win

[opal nymph]

You win by 43 as the US

Even if you go to war in 41

[opal nymph]

Epic

[sly elm]

either way i dont think its the best nation to start as due to something called japan and island hopping

[rain loom]

im not as much of a noob now yay

[atomic wolf]

basically this

[opal nymph]

Ignore Japan then

[opal nymph]

Funny how you stole land from France lol

[atomic wolf]

they didn't really like that

[opal nymph]

And a treaty port from Poland

[whole canopy]

DAWG

I can’t deal with this bro

Germany declared on the Soviets without even sharing a border and now I’m in ts

I’m so fried

[atomic wolf]

i kinda wanna try greece

[opal nymph]

What DLCs do you have?

[sly elm]

bro did the, bippity boppity this is now my property

[atomic wolf]

uh none

[sly elm]

as a turk you offended me

[atomic wolf]

keyword kinda

[opal nymph]

Greece won't have a focus tree besides the generic one, but you might have fun as a defensive challenge

[atomic wolf]

oh then nvm

[sly elm]

generic focus trees suck btw

[atomic wolf]

il try Hungary ig

[whole canopy]

I’m genuinely fried

[atomic wolf]

love peace deals cuz i just stole most of south france and they can't do shi

i only did 21k casualties

[arctic nest]

you dont need to build navy as us

[sly elm]

you still need to know how it works to get near fighting

or your divisions probably die by uboat

[opal nymph]

The generic tree is quite strong

Like 1942 guns in 39 levels

[sly elm]

its boring ahh

[opal nymph]

You make the story

[atomic wolf]

i wonder how much i can annoy Germany in hoi4 il be back in one hour and tell you how bad i did

[light tendon]

i need some advice,as Germany should i annex all european territory and puppet overseas? i defeated the allies in 1939

[arctic nest]

isnr hard to lern tho

[atomic wolf]

bro how

it's not even 1940

[light tendon]

paradrop into france,then paradrop into uk,take a port and funnel ur army there

[atomic wolf]

shouldnt you still be growing your military

[light tendon]

took me multiple times tho

i have an ok army i ll prepare for the soviets

[cedar kite]

Yeah you can still go form byzantium and flip fascist way quicker by just activating a civil war

[sudden thistle]

ig

[cedar kite]

Yeah but it gives you what you need, you can flip ideology quickly, get a good amount of research slots, quick industry build up and manpower buffs

[fallen vigil]

is this good enough or do i need to get more as mughal?

[cedar kite]

Its fine all the princely states become your puppets when you fight raj again

[light tendon]

im annexing only france belgium and netherlands and then puppeting the non cores of poland

i think im letting italy take up africa cus its useless

[hybrid galleon]

i DO think about the Roman Empire daily Damnit!

[junior imp]

Why poland????

Go for egypt and turkey or something bro if for Roman Empire

[vital cove]

now kill the uk

[light tendon]

should i be funny and attack italy after?

and then take everything

[junior imp]

yes

Murder the Italians

[arctic nest]

reforming the polish commonwealth was easyer than i thought

[vital cove]

annexing everything is better long term and less annoying

[hybrid galleon]

turkey is guranteed by the US

[hybrid galleon]

ina faction with them but i might

[light tendon]

damn i already did it

i hate dealing with resistance ngl

[vital cove]

as long as you have enough manpower and guns for garrison its fine

but you might not at this point

[vital cove]

are you at war with anyone rn?

you need to kill them to form roman empire so

also why are Syria and Lebanon alive

[worn zenith]

yo can someone check ask for help im tryna do smth w my boy

[wraith mauve]

Tno red dusk and Great War redux are my favorite mods

[tepid moon]

John Adams

[light tendon]

[junior imp]

Invade a random island close to the US that isn't guaranteed

[tepid moon]

Generic field marshal

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Adams,_1st_Baron_Adams

[azure palm]

Why was the tactic which point it is to retreat introduced in the DLC called No step back? I get the soviets used that alot but still, the name doesnt fit well because the point of the tactic is retreating, stepping back.

[ripe cedar]

[molten forge]

Anyone playing Albania rn???

[arctic nest]

bro

jus leave albainia alr

its a lost case

[heavy vigil]

i started by playing like rwanda, albania isnt even bad

just takes some game knowledge

which can be learned

[warped flint]

Albanias easy

just train like 1 army of inf let italy land then kill them

repeat

[neon gull]

Bro what

[wooden wyvern]

kinda long game XD

[hybrid galleon]

Turkey is at war with Iran so if im quick enough i can naval invade the US and get them

[marble patio]

which list

there's the war crime list

the war crime against indigenous people list

the war crime against french people list

the breakdown of our soicety list

[azure palm]

Genevas List

[marble patio]

yeah we got pretty far but we called it at the christmas truce

brock wouldn't have been pleased

[marble patio]

how does this even happen bro

1957

you have been playing for 21 years

and you are still fighting ww2

just kill the allies already bro you have 10m more manpower then they do

[wooden wyvern]

its ww3 XD

[marble patio]

what timeline is this guy living in bro

its not even wolfenstein its just 30 years of hell

[wooden wyvern]

i think there was like 1 year of peace after ww2 XD

[warped flint]

I condemn the Soviet Union for taking advantage of the Soviet Union

[cedar kite]

Not the Wikipedia vandalism lol

[marble patio]

it could be worse bro

they could be capitulated

[marble patio]

1945 the day we lost the war never forget

[patent thistle]

THEIR GOES THE HIGH SEES FLEET

[cedar kite]

Is the actual John Adams in hoi4?

[marble patio]

damn bro killed them all

also how are you imperial germany

[patent thistle]

EVEN BETTER

(had to rerun the save cause error codes)

[wooden wyvern]

i lie, it was 4 years of peace in EU i forgot i had to deal with nationalist china and that took some time cuz i didnt had manpower XD

[patent thistle]

I CATCHED EVEN MORE

[terse skiff]

all those medals for nothing

[patent thistle]

??

[terse skiff]

the german admiral has 5 medals

[patent thistle]

0h that yeah-

[terse skiff]

guess he paid his way to the top lmao

[patent thistle]

i garantie that those are carrying my ass rn

4 battlecruisers of TOP class

[umbral smelt]

u am the german empire and i want to naval invade portugal, how do i do it?

[wooden wyvern]

just do it

[patent thistle]

sucks to be spain

[umbral smelt]

well yeah but is there maybe a suggested port i should use or if maybe anyone knows what kind of numbers i should prepare

[umbral smelt]

dont look up

[patent thistle]

guess thats the price for challanging the german high seas fleet head on-

i got them good tho-

[wooden wyvern]

i mean its just portugal, they just die lol

[umbral smelt]

yeah lol im only using them to get to spain

tried settling with the land i had and keeping myself neutral while ''slowly building my empire from the inside'' and then realised i had 0 manpower

maybe iberia will help

in some way

[fallen vigil]

is there not an automatic peace deal?

[lethal ether]

holy what

[neon gull]

THIS IS A THING??

[umbral smelt]

yeah i did it one time when playing around on accident

[arctic tartan]

xD

[neon gull]

AI production be like

[umbral smelt]

imagine making 43 THOUSAND planes a day

[lethal ether]

what do u do with so many planes

[umbral smelt]

kamikaze

[lethal ether]

where enough men for allat

[umbral smelt]

43k men a day isnt THAT hard

[arctic tartan]

Chinese

[lethal ether]

its more in hoi4

[umbral smelt]

i mean it depends on how long youve got the production well... in production

[lethal ether]

i think u need like 3 men per airplane

i forgot i dont know the exact number

[umbral smelt]

so i mean if you produce 1 million planes and get all your manpower some basic flying training on grounded simulations and let them die for the cause

poof thats a country gone

[icy wyvern]

litterally how do you gain supply on the frontline

[umbral smelt]

first throw planes at the navy, then take the rest of your manpower throw em on ships and navally invade the other country, throw more planes at anybody getting in the way of the invaders

[umbral smelt]

with trains

[lethal ether]

trucks too

[icy wyvern]

i built railways and put them on max level and still super low

[umbral smelt]

are the railways connected to supply

[icy wyvern]

yes

[umbral smelt]

also make sure your infastructure is maxxed

[icy wyvern]

but i can’t build the infrastructure

[arctic tartan]

hmmm nothing out of the ordinary avg germany playtrough

[umbral smelt]

(i have no idea what im talking about my troops are all attritioned in every war i partake in)

[icy wyvern]

same bro same

https://tenor.com/view/scp-067-67-6-7-six-seven-sixty-seven-gif-13940852437921483111

[umbral smelt]

do you just mass produce outdated equipment

and send it in here

[burnt cape]

Can anyone teach me some things in the game

[arctic nest]

what do you wanna learn?

[light tendon]

the worst thing happened,i was at war with some minors and then soviet union declared on my polish puppet..

]\\

[burnt cape]

Mostly of the game 🙁 but I really need help in navy or air

[light tendon]

\

[arctic nest]

watch youtube guides

[burnt cape]

I did. Trust me

[arctic nest]

watch segl

he good

[umbral smelt]

theyre not good

for me whats worked best is to get my algorithm on tiktok to pop up some hoi4 here and there and when i see something that helps me on a specific topic i was struggling at i remember it and go apply it

[arctic nest]

if you find the right ones

[umbral smelt]

not really, its better to learn a little everytime except for watching a video of a youtuber trying to explain such a difficult game in 20 minutes

they skip things and you try to follow up and you cant

i mean atleast for me really idk what works for others

[patent thistle]

why did these just spawn in my lands-

[arctic nest]

alr what guides did you watch

[patent thistle]

uh, thanks US?

[open quartz]

if you are in a faction with the computer sometimes it will stay at your ports

[patent thistle]

then why do i have them?

directly as my own

[umbral smelt]

i dont remember but on tiktok i watch either those small creator slideshows like ''useful overlooked hoi4 mechanics'' or for longer more targeted videos i watch a guy named thehanleyfilms

[open quartz]

uhh did you steal from a peace conference

[patent thistle]

no, i dont even have by blood alone to do that-

[open quartz]

because I don't know if the computer can lend ships that they have

[patent thistle]

also great war redux

[patent thistle]

you cant lend lease ships

[open quartz]

any form of lending

like a volunteer force

[patent thistle]

and why are they so specifically the ones offered to portugal in history-

they cant do that

[open quartz]

yeah I know

[patent thistle]

but i am NOT portugal and its NOT 1921-

guess i take it and refit them?

[open quartz]

how did bro gain six battleships though 😭

wish I had such an event

[patent thistle]

great war redux being great war redux ig

[neat kayak]

Little beauty 🙂

[sly elm]

i looked away from sweden for TWO MINUTES

[patent thistle]

spain how do you suck this much and lose against a battleship without any screening?

[ancient marsh]

does anyone here play tfr

[patent thistle]

i do at times

whats the issue?

[ancient marsh]

have you won the acw as constitutionalists

[patent thistle]

nope, what happend?

[ancient marsh]

can't seem to pull off a reliable win

i can win the elections and all but closing the chicago pocket just doesnt work

i pushed into lafayette and almost took the tile bordering great lakes but i got redbubbled and pushed right back

now ive lost all momentum and am getting pushedb ack

air war is doing okay, fully green over rust belt and had some decent air trades going

[sonic jacinth]

this is frying me

[ancient marsh]

i started the war in jan 22 btw, did the insurrection act

[sonic jacinth]

using zhang zuolin as a placeholder for generals

[patent thistle]

thanks to some random american ships which appeared in my land i now have this navy

including my own obviously

OOF-

i see this as a favourable trade, 2 shitty 1890 heavy cruisers against, the majority of what remained of the german navy-

i doupt the germans are going to set one foot anymore on the sea-

[light tendon]

is this over

[knotty vortex]

enough to fend off germany?

[patent thistle]

i stand corrected

rip that argentine ironclad i stole, you shall be missed

okay that HAS to be it

[quiet vessel]

how many divs u got

and what template

[knotty vortex]

32 ;-;

ive got a couple of defensive buffs

theyre entrenched rn

48% entrenchment bonus

im gonna assume this is good

400% defensive bonus

[dusky burrow]

doctrines?

[knotty vortex]

none

ive been struggling for army xp

even though i had them all training

any ideas want couldve been the issue?

[terse skiff]

send attaches to china

[knotty vortex]

does that boost army xp?

[terse skiff]

yeah you get 15% of what china normally gets for xp

[knotty vortex]

i wish i knew that

[terse skiff]

also that 10 ws could be the difference between an early war economy and being stuck on civilian economy

[terse skiff]

you should get a self propelled aa, it gives both armor and aa

[dusky burrow]

Grand Assault?

[knotty vortex]

i have that

but i cant afford the template

[dusky burrow]

You get most of that entrenchment elsewhere, only 3.8% comes from the division template

[terse skiff]

it's just 25 xp

[dusky burrow]

Wait

[knotty vortex]

yeah to make a crappy one

[dusky burrow]

You don't have AA in divisions?!?!

[knotty vortex]

ohh sorry

[dusky burrow]

😲

Okay

Okay

[knotty vortex]

i have support AA

[dusky burrow]

Calm down

Oh right

You do have support AA

[knotty vortex]

and max AA on my border with germany

[terse skiff]

a crappy one which gives you 20 armor

[knotty vortex]

sorry i thought you meant sp artillery

[terse skiff]

in other words germany can only do half damage to you

[knotty vortex]

i cannot afford a good template for that

[terse skiff]

who told you to get a good one?

[dusky burrow]

The problem is really between having no AA versus having some AA, not whether the AA is support or line AA

[terse skiff]

just a basic chassis aa gives you 20 armor which is enough for you until like 1944

[knotty vortex]

whats the point in wasting supplies on a crap unit that will get stomped on

im the netherlands

i cannot spare manpower

[terse skiff]

i told you that it won't get stomped on

you have 20 armor with just one spaa in your divisions

you get the gold shield mark in combat

[knotty vortex]

and how do you suppose i make this spaa

i cannot afford it

[terse skiff]

a spaa is like 8 to 9 cost, if you can make artillery you can make spaa

[paper echo]

peak borders

[paper echo]

collapsing world is the mod's name

[dusky burrow]

You have 400k manpower

[knotty vortex]

that is not alot

its dropped to 167k via the war itself

[dusky burrow]

In fact I suggest you may want to buff your divisions up to 30 width

[knotty vortex]

i mean i capitulated anyway

everybody suggests these ideas but how do i afford it

i cant do this all

even france cant defend the germans

third time trying to do this and nothing has changed

[terse skiff]

how do i afford it, says the guy who won't even try

[knotty vortex]

frick the netherlands

[dusky burrow]

France AI is baaaad

If you fall then they fall

If you don't fall then they don't fall

The French AI literally does not defend its northern border at all

[terse skiff]

you don't need a lot of spaas, just get a cheap one that's 8 cost

[knotty vortex]

but when I PLAY GERMANY

THEY HAVE LEVEL 10 FORTS

https://tenor.com/view/kurt-angle-thousand-yard-stare-stare-tiktok-wtf-gif-12206044702998985154

[terse skiff]

get the cheapest turret and a lvl1 anti air gun

[molten forge]

Anyone playing albania

[dusky burrow]

Well that's easy to beat

[knotty vortex]

well my sp art say otherwise

[terse skiff]

france ai is so stupid sometimes they just walk away and leave a gap

[knotty vortex]

i give up for tonight

i hate the dutch

[terse skiff]

you have all the ic for support equipment but won't use some of that for spaas

[molten forge]

What you playing

[knotty vortex]

beneloux federation

in theory seems good

but just

sucks

[dusky burrow]

BTW how did you unite the Benelux

[molten forge]

You're against who?

[knotty vortex]

its a focus

invite to the beneloux

then you get a 300pp decision

and you annex belgium and luxembourg when they accept

and become the Beneloux Federation

and you also get congo as integrated puppet

[molten forge]

Wanna play albania

[viscid swift]

guys hear me out, we need URANIUM in hoi4

[molten forge]

Just make nukes without em

Use your German brain

[knotty vortex]

lets not add another resource
