Keep doing your multirole designs

fervent minnow
eternal palm
#

You can, I'm just saying youre wrong. And then we have an argument

fervent minnow
#

this did not need to go this far

eternal palm
#

But it's whatever

eternal palm
grizzled yarrow
#

Whats better
Medium tanks with howitzer or
Medium sp artilery

fervent minnow
eternal palm
#

But who am I to tell you what to do

fervent minnow
#

exactly

#

i just feel like seperating them for having multiroles get me better stats

#

ive tried what youve said before

#

i'm not saying what you're saying is wrong

#

i just dont like it

#

and that's not an argument

#

thats an opinion

eternal palm
#

My god

fervent minnow
vital cove
fervent minnow
#

no it literally gave me more success

grizzled yarrow
fervent minnow
#

that's as in a sentence form

eternal palm
fervent minnow
#

not literal

grizzled yarrow
#

Does organization matter in tank templates?

fervent minnow
#

i like depth charges a lot, it helps me get rid of submarines faster

eternal palm
fervent minnow
#

yes

#

i do

eternal palm
#

So you want 2 designs

eternal palm
#

One for killing subs

fervent minnow
grizzled yarrow
eternal palm
#

One for screening your fleet

vital cove
#

you want to have half mech half tank divisions

fervent minnow
#

they dont follow along with the main fleet

vital cove
#

otherwise you'd have no org

fervent minnow
#

that's the cheap destroyer's job

eternal palm
#

Like what

vital cove
fervent minnow
eternal palm
#

You're not fighting subs in a surface naval battle

fervent minnow
#

i'm literally saying

#

the depth charges

#

are a DIFFERENT fleet

eternal palm
fervent minnow
#

no???

eternal palm
#

Jfc

#

🤦‍♂️

fervent minnow
#

i literally said i divide my subs as antisub, screen and torpedo from the START

#

depth charge subs are their own fleet

#

screen and torpedo is with the main one

eternal palm
#

Aight whatever man

#

Keep larping your navy

fervent minnow
#

how is this larping

#

literally how

#

what roleplay do you see in diving ships by job

eternal palm
#

And you dont need a lot of heavy attack since there will be more screens than capitals in any given battle. So investing into light attack via cruisers makes more sense than having torps on dds

#

You are supposed to have shbb with 1 heavy battery

#

That's enough

quiet vessel
#

aint no way ppl putting so much thought into navy

#

just go on a video and look at the best templates is what i do😭

grizzled yarrow
quiet vessel
#

the twice a year i actually need to build a navy

grizzled yarrow
#

Who needs a navy when u can steal it from brittain

quiet vessel
#

exactly

#

too much effort

#

i aint wasting my time build no dockyards😭

grizzled yarrow
#

I think ima do communist pooland

grizzled yarrow
quiet vessel
#

naval bomber spam>>

eternal palm
#

I do though

fervent minnow
#

shbb is a waste of material imo

eternal palm
#

Heavy cruisers kinda suck?

fervent minnow
#

HOW

eternal palm
#

Shbb is functionally immortal

#

HC gets killed by navs

#

This is peak performance

quiet vessel
#

wtf does shbb stand for😭

eternal palm
quiet vessel
#

wheres rhe second b come from then

eternal palm
# fervent minnow how

Gets better stats, can't be pierced, is functionally immortal, doesn't get memed by torps

quiet vessel
#

i tend to make one for the memes

eternal palm
#

Simply better

fervent minnow
#

i'd rather use hc

eternal palm
fervent minnow
#

you can shit out hc's since the start

eternal palm
#

But if you do the project in 36 it takes 3 years

eternal palm
quiet vessel
#

tiny subs>>

fervent minnow
eternal palm
#

Don't argue something is better just because you're. Lazy

eternal palm
#

You might aswell

fervent minnow
mossy stream
#

Yeah it takes forever but no one is building navy in MP

quiet vessel
#

aint no way people beefing over naval😭

eternal palm
#

If you are committing to a navy you have IC to spare

fervent minnow
fervent minnow
#

dont even get me on the production

#

it takes FOREVER

eternal palm
#

You'll probably lose more HC to naavs than judt building 1 shbb

bold yew

#

just make an airforce instead be done with it gangalang

That's fine

Yeah but the Superheavy Shreds Absolutely Everything

eternal palm

It can't die

It's literally immortal

That's true

Like if you commit these are gkod

fervent minnow

they're very costly

eternal palm

Of course if you don't commit other options are easier

# fervent minnow this was stupid to begin with

No idk what you're trying to do man. I'm tryna explain how this works only for you to dismiss it out of shit and vibes instead of actual like good points. I dont care if it works for you I wanna know what's best. If you don't do that, don't talk to me. And if you don't like what I have to say you can gladly block me if youre so offended by what I say

What if you use like a fake player to let AI control?

All except like the Army micro

the game already has that, human_ai in the console toggles ai control over your nation; its kind of like spectator mode but you still retain the player controls

lilac glen
#

How do I invade them then?

sharp sierra
#

how would getting ireland help

#

if your army is trash then it might not work if they got a lot of stuff ready to fight

#

if they do and ur army is trash my strat is to invade the north and retry 50 times till your units entrench enough to survive

#

in mountain tiles and river tiles

#

who you playing as

#

sharp sierra
#

yea just get on their island

guys i’m planning on playing an multiplayer game with my little brother. We want to make two big superpowers, i’m going to do the napoleon path taking benelux, uk, germany and soviet. But then i want my brother to play a cool nation with perhaps a cool formable nation in europe. But that does not attack germany, uk, soviet or benelux to achieve that nation

lilac glen
sharp sierra
sudden thistle
#

u want to annex most of europe

#

and he wants to make an empire in europe

sharp sierra
#

kill the subs with nav bombers and as long as you have supremacy enemy surface ships dont matter at all

sudden thistle
#

Bulgarian Balkan federation?

icy wyvern
icy wyvern
#

is it non alligned?

sudden thistle
#

im pretty sure

#

there is the swedish empire

#

with monarchy

#

roman empire could be one

#

but would require a bit of ur land

#

but u can use a cheat tool for that

going in here to call the stellaris discord server gay because of no profanity anyways goodbye

this sounds familiar

#

yess we hit it

#

overwhelmingly negative finally

bronze mango
#

The dlc is good though

woven gate
#

i've mobilized 250,000 more frenchmen into the military than last game, i extended the maginot, and i had green air, and somehow the germans still broke through

#

i'm beginning to believe that it's impossible

terse skiff
woven gate
terse skiff
#

what are your divisions?

#

are they all equipped?

woven gate
#

9 inf 1 art all fully equipped

#

REALLY entrenched

sudden thistle
#

what doctrines

terse skiff
#

remove the art

woven gate
#

GBP with Grand Assault and whatnot

terse skiff
#

use that extra ic to build cheap armor and mix them with your inf

#

also assuming a division is 10k you have 115 divisions along the border?

woven gate
#

yeah

terse skiff
#

do you have the supply?

woven gate
#

~60 on the german border

terse skiff
#

you only need 1 division per maginot tile

woven gate
#

the rest holding africa and italy and stuff

terse skiff
#

ai germany doesn't attack through maginot unless it's not being manned

woven gate
#

full supply everywhere

terse skiff
#

you have an italian border, corsica, and tunis. You don't need 55 for them

woven gate
#

7 or so forts

#

and they just destroy it somehow

terse skiff
#

can you show us your battle screens?

woven gate
#

i already deleted the save out of annoyance

terse skiff
#

well tough luck then

#

we really can't help you then

woven gate
#

i'll keep trying the same thing until it works

terse skiff
#

48 inf divisions along the belgian border should be enough if they're properly equipped and given time to entrench

#

do not send them into belgium unless you can defeat germany in an offensive

woven gate
#

nah i didn't

#

they just attacked this one city with like 20 divisions and i'd send reinforcements and they'd just get crushed

#

i think i need to send more on the belgian front

terse skiff
#

it might have just been reinforce meme

woven gate
#

this is actually some israeli magic

#

ALRIGHT ATTEMPT 3 SOON

#

SEND A SHIT TON OF DIVISIONS ON CITIES

warped flint
#

im actually starting to tweak

#

EVERYONES JOINING THE COMITERN

woven gate
#

maybe i could get some anti tank in there

terse skiff
#

just build armored aa and put one battalion in each division

#

it gives you armor and aa, two which you really need as historical france

woven gate
#

hmm

#

i just put AA in the provinces near belgium

terse skiff
#

not state aa

#

also aa piercing is enough for early-mid game ai

woven gate
#

that's gonna be a lot for france's industry then

terse skiff
#

you don't need a lot of armor aa

#

24 for each division

#

if it's 48 divisions with them then you need around 1k

woven gate
#

that is quite a bit for a guy with 100+ divisions

#

and like 25 mils

#

because i build too many civs

terse skiff
#

maybe the problem is that you are wasting your ic on rifles

woven gate
#

i wanna build a lot of divisions ig

terse skiff
#

build mils 3 years before the war begins to maximize inventory when war begins

woven gate
#

got it

terse skiff
#

48 36 width armor/mech divisions can beat germany during barb in 2 months if you know how to build it

woven gate
#

i ain't really going for armor france

#

maybe i'll have some divisions with armored AA and then the rest normal with AT in them

terse skiff
#

you're wasting research on at

#

france doesn't have a lot of time to build industry and starts with only 3 research slots, you don't have a lot of wiggle room

woven gate
#

nah AT will mess up their panzers

#

i think i might just need to optimize more

terse skiff
#

you're making it worse

#

just count how many panzers they have, and tag to germany to see how shit ai tanks are

woven gate
#

i can run this don't worry

terse skiff
#

if you can't defend the belgian border set up the defensive line along the river and forest instead of the plains

How do I invade the UK?

#

Getting naval supremacy is freaking impossible

#

😭 😭 😭 😭 😭 😭 😭

sharp sierra
#

paratuduper

lilac glen
terse skiff
#

Also pretty much all naval problems can be solved with building carriers with maxed out torpedo bombers

sharp sierra
#

are carriers strong now

terse skiff
#

They always are the strongest

sharp sierra
#

felt like they were always pretty useless in combat to me in the vanilla game

terse skiff
#

Because of productivity reasons. For carrier fleets you can just build roach bb and screens but if you main battery guns you need to max out every ship

sharp sierra
#

weathert and shit

terse skiff
#

If you don't have carrier bombers then carriers are useless

#

Also there are doctrines and stuff to fix that

sharp sierra
#

yea i always had them on there but anyways naval combat is basically pointless anyways if you can get supremacy and bomb their subs

terse skiff
#

I mean there's also the fleet submarine with maxed out sub visibility, but it requires some research

#

You can build carriers by just researching converted battleship

lilac glen
terse skiff
#

Yeah

#

Naval bombers are torpedo bombers
