End of campaign

let the exam come

[toxic cypress]

my campaign hasnt ended but

i really dont wanna continue

i got shit luck

and somehow every european nation went commie

[viscid sleet]

What's no accessible regions mean?
And how do you fix this?

[fair horizon]

so why do convoys reduce the screening efficiency of capitals?

like if a convoy is in a battle and you have 2 heavy cruisers your carriers are only 66% screened

but wouldnt that be a destroyer's job?

[snow rain]

You're out of ranger from your home base. Change it to somewhere closer

[snow rain]

Simply because they're in the backrow I guess

[viscid sleet]

How do you do this? This part of the game is new since I last played

[fair horizon]

yeah kinda weird, probably would never matter tbh just weird

[warped flint]

Yes

very fun

[snow rain]

Ctrl+r click
Or use the automatic base selection on the fleet screen

[snow rain]

Where stellaris

[viscid sleet]

Thanks for that francissaucisson

[molten pasture]

https://tenor.com/view/there-are-no-accidents-gif-20718936

[viscid sleet]

Any other tips for the navy? About to fight Japan and Germany down in the south east Asia

I got 450 ships, 200 in south east Asia
2 carrier, 6 battleship 1 battlecruiser 10 heavy cruiser, 6 light cruiser, 67 destroyers, 119 subs

[fair horizon]

get 2 more carriers and patrol where their ships are

blow up their navyt

also you could use more light cruisers to destroy their screens if you get into a fight with them

[viscid sleet]

Ok thanks, I as Germany mass produced subs but the rest are from other nations such as france

[fair horizon]

yeah subs are nice if you wanna fight island nations like britian as you can starve them of convoys but imo they're just eh overall

[ivory hull]

Nice

[agile perch]

I took btw, im preparing for invasion of soviet or should i try and take england by naval invasion

but uhm im lowkey out of fuel

i think im dead

[ivory hull]

What year is it

[agile perch]

1941

29th nov

[ivory hull]

Mh

[ivory hull]

You could try sealion

[agile perch]

https://tenor.com/view/skeleton-banging-shield-rahhh-thiccatina-gif-2077174781171827192

[ivory hull]

Too many tanks

[agile perch]

okay what is that

[agile perch]

oh

[ivory hull]

No supply

[agile perch]

yea u right

[ivory hull]

UK invasion

[agile perch]

should i delete them or what

[ivory hull]

Get like 200 inf

[agile perch]

but uhm one problem i completly forgot my navy

i just started on my navy

🥀

[ivory hull]

Then use tanks as a concentrated strike force

[agile perch]

[agile perch]

do i delete some tanks or what

[ivory hull]

You don't need to build ships

[agile perch]

how many divisions should i have as tanks

[ivory hull]

Idk bout your stockpile

[heavy vigil]

hello chatroom

[ivory hull]

Just put some where good supply is

[agile perch]

yea idk either but is this good

or bad

[heavy vigil]

as many as you have stockpiles for without going into negative, assuming its your target template that youre using

[ivory hull]

Delete tanks

[agile perch]

okay

i just delte like 48 of them

[ivory hull]

You want like 2k tanks in stockpile

[ivory hull]

Also

[agile perch]

i think i deleted to much

[ivory hull]

Send some tanks to france

[ivory hull]

You still have enough

[ivory hull]

Could you send a Pic of your tank design

[agile perch]

https://tenor.com/view/skeleton-banging-shield-rahhh-thiccatina-gif-2077174781171827192

[warped flint]

im stealing this

[warped flint]

thanks

[agile perch]

😂

[ivory hull]

Put tanks on ports so they won't land

[coral gorge]

finally

[agile perch]

no problem

[heavy vigil]

yk what those support companies youre halfway there

[agile perch]

how do i do that

[warped flint]

https://tenor.com/view/skeleton-banging-shield-rahhh-thiccatina-gif-2077174781171827192

[warped flint]

My own gif

I found it

[ivory hull]

I meant the design not the template

[agile perch]

oh

ok

[heavy vigil]

hi sheep !

[coral gorge]

hi

[ivory hull]

On the garrison order there is an extra thing for only ports

[heavy vigil]

how are you?

[agile perch]

oh my god 🥀 i havent fixed the design on the tank yet

oh god

😭

[ivory hull]

That's why I asked

[agile perch]

noob tank still

[ivory hull]

Yea

Big problem

[agile perch]

should i just max everything out

[warped flint]

oh wow

[heavy vigil]

ok nvm

youve lost me

[agile perch]

bradarrrrr i dont know how to play this game completly yet

[ivory hull]

Medium howitzer as main gun
3 man turret
2 heavy machine guns
The reliability thing
Henschel as design

[heavy vigil]

thats not a tank

thats a machine gun with a guy

[coral gorge]

aight, successfully carried the Axis

[heavy vigil]

it needs a CANNON

ATTACK stats

[agile perch]

i took belgium in like 1 week with this btw

✌️

[ivory hull]

Mass mob machine gun tanks ig

[heavy vigil]

i did this while abiding the treaty of versailles military restrictions

[agile perch]

[agile perch]

how does ur game look like this

[agile perch]

yea but dude i got 300 hours

[heavy vigil]

i had a visual mod on

[heavy vigil]

im just saying it isnt a flex

it doesnt matter if you kill belgium

[agile perch]

it does

i keep getting stuck in belgium

all the time

[heavy vigil]

all of western europe will fall over if you so much as breathe at them

[agile perch]

so im stuck fighting in benelux

[heavy vigil]

but yeah those arent great

sorry for being mean

Please consider putting weapons on the tank

and a better turret

the chassis is fine

[fair horizon]

did you follow the treaty specifically or did you allow the 1935 naval agreement part?

[agile perch]

yes im doing allat now

[heavy vigil]

navy limited to 10K or something?

men

and like barely any ships

no military aircraft (so i could use transports cuz its a grey line)

and like less than 100K in army i think?

i forgot

[fair horizon]

so strictly the limits of the versailles treaty then

[agile perch]

done

thanks

[ivory hull]

Don't forget to hit the conversion button

[heavy vigil]

what was the agreement anyway

would it have been like helpful

[fair horizon]

like 35:100 tonnage to the british navy

[heavy vigil]

oh thats OP

no ofc not

[agile perch]

idk if i did it correct but the numbers reseted so im assuming it worked

[ivory hull]

Click the button in the bottom left

[fair horizon]

bigger navy op frfr

[heavy vigil]

i wouldve been able to have more than like 10 CLs

thats basically cheating

[agile perch]

like this

?

[ivory hull]

Yes

[agile perch]

okay im gonna try and take england now

[ivory hull]

Now you are converting from stockpile

[agile perch]

🥶

[ivory hull]

Now please tell me you changed the fighter and cas design

[agile perch]

but uh dont i need like naval dominance to cross english channal

[agile perch]

no idea

🥀

[fair horizon]

yeah but you got 6 light cruisers before so

[ivory hull]

The german navy is enough

[agile perch]

yea but the thing is its all dead

☠️

[ivory hull]

How

[agile perch]

they raided me and killed my navy

all i got

😭

[ivory hull]

Just put tanks on ports and go east

UK is over

[agile perch]

on ports

is that the anchor symbol thing

[ivory hull]

Yea

[fair horizon]

thats not a navy 😭

[agile perch]

hah

[agile perch]

my tank needs to get ready wait

[ivory hull]

No click garrison order

[agile perch]

Ok hold on

[stark pebble]

As Germany, is it better to conquer any country other than Poland at the start before the Allies guarantee everyone

[fair horizon]

not really

[stark pebble]

Would France be possible?

[fair horizon]

they're still occupied state so

[ivory hull]

Netherlands for rubber

[fair horizon]

oh thats a good one actually yeah

[stark pebble]

I've done both Poland and the Dutch

[agile perch]

yea but the thing is poland joins the allies in 1940

and attacks u out of no where

[stark pebble]

I can't seem to properly blitzkrieg France even if I go through Belgium

[ivory hull]

In like 1936 you get the Netherlands for the Indonesian rubber

[fair horizon]

ngl i wish the ai used their ships better because this fleet is crushing the italian navy rn

[stark pebble]

Yeah I'm torn between them and Poland

Ideally I'd love if somehow I could get Around Maginot and the Dutch weren't guaranteed yet

I got it last time and they were but neither Belgium nor Luxembourg was

[ivory hull]

Stop battle planning into everything

[fair horizon]

WHAT THE HECK IS THIS CRAP

WHY IS THAT STUCK ON FLEET IN BEING NOW?

[agile perch]

how and where is that

[stark pebble]

Wdym

[ivory hull]

the shield thing

[ivory hull]

if you have good tanks then there shouldnt be a problem

[agile perch]

is it supposed to be here or am i just blind

[fair horizon]

someone explain how my fleet got here

[ivory hull]

the flag thing

[agile perch]

uh

is it possible u can mark it

i gotta be blind or something

[fair horizon]

this is so stupid

half my fleet is stuck behind somewhere i never had access to

[ivory hull]

i think ive seen this before

[fair horizon]

and turkey is being turkey and not letting me have access to leave

ok i managed to glitch them to combine with my fleet 3 tiles over

get got italians

[stark pebble]

I mean I do only have the tank Germany starts with
Cus it's only 1939

Should I get a better one with the penalty?

[ivory hull]

not an excuse, the starter tank is horrible

[ivory hull]

wdym by penalty

there isnt one

[sour jewel]

How do you guys even play non major powers in hoi4 and get land

[stark pebble]

Penalty for researching stuff ahead of it's time

[sour jewel]

by the time you get like 100 factories, its 1945

[ivory hull]

just use interwar chassis

[fair horizon]

build quality divs

[ivory hull]

if you conquer you get more factories

[sour jewel]

but like either allies gang up on you

or the communists

[fair horizon]

win then

[sour jewel]

fascists are too busy with allies

[sour jewel]

how can iran win against allies 😔

[fair horizon]

pretty easy tbh

you only have 3 places you have to defend

plus you can get a lot of early land too

[vital cove]

join the axis?

[heavy vigil]

iirc i deleted all the ships

[vital cove]

tho you don't need to

[fair horizon]

also yeah you're not barred from joining the other faction

[heavy vigil]

manpower requirement too low

[fair horizon]

i mean you have the ability to have 6 from the treaty

[heavy vigil]

well not all

but like

deleted msot at first and then later all

[fair horizon]

honestly not sure how someone would track tonnage in this game

[heavy vigil]

i just did manpower

because its too much brain

[stark pebble]

Bruh what

[ivory hull]

the chassis

[heavy vigil]

through all his wrongs he did a few things right

interwar chassis is one of the correct plays

[ivory hull]

yep

learned that here

[agile perch]

Ok now what

[fair horizon]

also anyone got any ideas for how to improve this?

[ivory hull]

select the thing so they only garrison ports

[fair horizon]

other than obv replacing wet storage with maint

[ivory hull]

better gun

[heavy vigil]

what is this fot

for

sp?

[fair horizon]

yeah

i suck with doing anything early with army so

like i researched improved and looked at that

[heavy vigil]

uuhh

small cannon kinda bad in sp

you dont need a lot of break

its double the cost of hmg

[ivory hull]

more soft attack tho

[heavy vigil]

1 more

[ivory hull]

with 2 guns

its 2

so

2 soft attack more

[heavy vigil]

for 3 IC

[ivory hull]

its sp so it doesnt matter

[fair horizon]

yeah but im not playing a major or someone with good conquering options im playing australia

[warped flint]

bro

i hate italy so much

i was bullying the soviets and now I have to fight on 3 fronts

[fair horizon]

best italy ai:

[warped flint]

yeah im done for now

I literally am about to get my elite divisions encircled in italy now

cause of an naval invasion

[fair horizon]

why did you have your divs in italy?

[warped flint]

to stop them from fully dieing

they were about to capitualte and then that would cause me like 2 new fronts

[fair horizon]

looks like that didnt matter

[warped flint]

Yep

probably could fix it but i dont feel like it

[fair horizon]

this is a problem, the italian fleet could easily mince my fleet but it just doesnt because the ai cant do navy now

what i this patrol fleet...

[vocal geyser]

i didnt know where to ask but does anybody know which kaiserredux is the right one to install from the steam workshop?

cause there are a lot of things and i dont really understand

[ivory hull]

the first one that shows up

[fair horizon]

they arent using any ships of their fleet...

[vocal geyser]

and for best experience should i get anything else or something?

[ivory hull]

word domination id say

[vocal geyser]

ty so much man

i run it from the hoi4 launcher right?

[ivory hull]

yea

[agile perch]

What does that do just asking

[mild plaza]

You add it to a playset and then run that playset when launching the game

[ivory hull]

they only garrsion ports

and if you use tanks

the allies shouldnt land

[old lake]

I landed 250k troops in dardanelles and they all died

[fair horizon]

churchill during ww1 be like:

can they fix me not getting the provinces I ATTACK

its cool that planes in range from carriers can help in a battle

also mabye its bugged

80 planes is now 160

[viscid sleet]

With the army and air experience, when it hits 500 what do you use it for besides templates?

[fair horizon]

spirits of the army/navy/air

special forces

tank designs

[viscid sleet]

Ok thanks, one other question

So when I have troops doing area defence on a harbour, they keep attacking into the mountains randomly as if they are trying to take another harbour in that area thats occupied by the enemy, how do you stop them from repeat attacking?

[agile perch]

and then guard what? the naval bases?

[ivory hull]

yea the ports

[viscid sleet]

Yeah the naval bases, but those troops just keep attacking

How do you stop them from doing that without stopping the defence?

[fair horizon]

if they're on area defense they'll attack to retake the area

[agile perch]

im gonna try now

[viscid sleet]

It can't be stopped?

[fair horizon]

just kill the enemy

[ivory hull]

try landing on multiple ports

[agile perch]

Ok

[fair horizon]

yeah grab dover too

[agile perch]

but erm theres no navy in english channel can i still pass ?

[viscid sleet]

There isn't even another port for them to attack

[ivory hull]

you just need superiority

[fair horizon]

paradox the whole planes joining battles thing is broken i do not have 140 planes in that battle i have 80 total on the carriers

[agile perch]

air superiourity?

[viscid sleet]

And I dont want to attack, ill naval invade instead of turning that area into a meat grinder

[ivory hull]

no naval

[agile perch]

oh

but uh all my navys gone

holdup

[ivory hull]

then you cant land

[agile perch]

Ok im making navy now

[ivory hull]

are the soviets dead?

[agile perch]

oh no i was afk i havent started on that yet

😭

[fair horizon]

are the days of fleet on fleet action dead now?

[ivory hull]

is it 1943 yet?

[ivory hull]

go for the soviets already

[agile perch]

Ye im making infantry right now for border

[ivory hull]

how much do you have rn?

[agile perch]

enough tanks?

[agile perch]

im gonna split them up dw but yea

[ivory hull]

im seeing that your tanks have no supply in the south

you will loose a lot of them

[agile perch]

how u see that

by the orginazation?

[ivory hull]

the red boxes

[agile perch]

ah

okay ill build some railways there

1 sec

do i add anything here or just use the original

[fair horizon]

hehe

[ivory hull]

put back in support artillery

[agile perch]

Okay

thats it?

or

anything more

[ivory hull]

nope

[surreal mist]

Aa and logistics

[viscid sleet]

Thats the basic German template, what would you do yo fix it?
Also about to produce the 1941 light take

[ivory hull]

dont do light tanks

they are horrible

use mediums instead

[viscid sleet]

Oh really? Ok got ya. Is that a recent thing they are horrible?

[ivory hull]

no

not at all

[agile perch]

btw should i use any offensive lines or anything like that

[ivory hull]

draw them so you get planning

[viscid sleet]

Thats where im at now, ill wait until I have better mediuns

[agile perch]

Okay and where should i attack

[ivory hull]

go through the baltics and to kiev

[agile perch]

should i go up in latvia, estonia and up to the finish border and just push

ye

ok

[ivory hull]

avoid the swamps

[agile perch]

so these i dont do anything special with or what

[viscid sleet]

Attack where you have three times in one and push through

[agile perch]

ok

[ivory hull]

i see that they have no supply

[agile perch]

me or them

[ivory hull]

in the north

your tanks

never use your tanks in bad supply areas

[viscid sleet]

Go past towns and take the rails that connect it then its easier to take the town

[agile perch]

oops let me fixc

[ivory hull]

bro

use field marshals too

[agile perch]

i am

[ivory hull]

and deploy the infantry now

[agile perch]

what about the training tho

[ivory hull]

doesnt matter

your not gonna push with inf

only with tanks

[viscid sleet]

Random question, when you attack, and say you have artillery within the template, is there a way for the arty too drop bombs first on the enemy to weaken them then the inf cone in?

[ivory hull]

bro what

no

[agile perch]

ohh so i put my tanks up in baltics?

[ivory hull]

yea

[agile perch]

Okay

[ivory hull]

and some on kiev

[viscid sleet]

Damn thats a shame, thats what we did irl

[agile perch]

and these big boys go for kiev

[ivory hull]

use cas

[viscid sleet]

Fair point

[ivory hull]

yea just watch out for supply

[agile perch]

i think they want war more then me

[ivory hull]

your tanks are attritioning down there

[agile perch]

how to fix

[ivory hull]

move them away

[agile perch]

.

from each other ?

[atomic grove]

just dont put them there

[fair horizon]

my destroyers 😭

[agile perch]

what bro, but im gonna war soviet union

[atomic grove]

having a battle but only having 8 destroyers is brave

[fair horizon]

? look at the screening efficiency

[atomic grove]

tanks - supply = useless

[fair horizon]

its 100% bud

also they fled

[agile perch]

ok im building supply hubs there

[atomic grove]

ik

[fair horizon]

i am the naviest navyer to ever exist

[atomic grove]

no

just dont

[agile perch]

why

[atomic grove]

u wanna attack them as early as 1941

[fair horizon]

whole fleet time :)

[atomic grove]

u dont wanna fight against infinite waves of infantry that are somehow pushing your divisions

[atomic grove]

and are annoying to push into

[fair horizon]

goodbye french navy

[fair horizon]

also there were 10 if you wanna get technical

[agile perch]

ok i upgraded my railways if thats good idk

[eternal palm]

Supply is usually fine, just upgrade rails

U don't need new hubs in Poland

[agile perch]

is this bad

or wat

what

[eternal palm]

Kinda

[agile perch]

yea bro im losing this 😂

[eternal palm]

U want the crate to be gone

[agile perch]

ok

[eternal palm]

No?

Just click lol?

[agile perch]

dude 10 divisions

[eternal palm]

So what

[atomic grove]

u can push it

[eternal palm]

You have 6 tanks

[atomic grove]

trust me

[agile perch]

ok

[atomic grove]

ai doesnt know that massive division stacking = worse defense\

[agile perch]

should i just have my Infantrys all over soviet border or a specific place

[agile perch]

o

[agile perch]

guys can someone answer this pls

[sour jewel]

congrats you are AI no more

[eternal palm]

That's not why they can push it. More divs on a tile means more good, usually. It's just that tanks kinda obliterate everything

[atomic grove]

not exactly what i meant but yeah

[eternal palm]

It comes down to air as usual

[eternal palm]

Well what did you mean lol

Div stacking by itself is not bad

[agile perch]

should i just have my Infantrys all over soviet border or a specific place

[eternal palm]

Well your inf is supposed to hold the line

Don't concentrate your inf that's what your tanks are for no

[agile perch]

yea infs are for defending

i think

so just all over border ig

[atomic grove]

combat width and supply

[eternal palm]

That goes without saying lol

Of course if your supply is shit, take some divs off

[atomic grove]

thats why im talking about the ai

[eternal palm]

Well if the divs themselves have good width, cw isn't an issue

Then it just comes down to reinforce rate

[atomic grove]

no one is going to be dumb enough to keep their divs without supply

[agile perch]

dude 😭

how do i got a chance against this

[atomic grove]

push into minsk and smolensk

encircle parts of ukraine

then push into the baltics

[agile perch]

wait woah woah woah

where all they troops go

[atomic grove]

nvm just go

[agile perch]

💔

[atomic grove]

aim for riga and dauguvpils

[agile perch]

supply is still bad but sure

[agile perch]

Yea im rushing baltics

now watch they get stacked out of no where

yea see

and of course bro

vichy france too....

im cooked

[vital cove]

why can't this game make a frontline tool that doesn't break in crimea and greece is it that hard

[agile perch]

@atomic grove are u sure u want me to go

[vital cove]

that moment you left a battle plan on and looked away for a minute and come back to realize all your units are encircled in turkey because the frontline just didn't apply to greece and they came out of greece and conquered back all what you took

[vital cove]

why do you have 5 frontlines

[fair horizon]

how to mess with the allies

[agile perch]

a dude said get 100 infs for defence

so yea

[eternal palm]

That's why you pay attention

[agile perch]

i got tanks for attack

[eternal palm]

No your army organisation is a mess

Use fm front lines

[agile perch]

what

field marshal?

[eternal palm]

U know what a field marshal is

[eternal palm]

Yes

[agile perch]

Ok ill use

[eternal palm]

They can make frontlines too

[polar beacon]

It's March 1941, should I be worried about Germans? I'm stalin

[vital cove]

yeah but its still so pain because like. you have to micro greece because the frontline doesn't work anywhere there i i cba to micro it while managing 3 other fronts

[eternal palm]

Skill issue?

Just micro

[vital cove]

im lazy

[eternal palm]

Excuses

[vital cove]

well yes but its still true

[eternal palm]

Smh

Make it bigger

[vital cove]

do you have any puppets you can steal manpower from

[eternal palm]

Garrison law?

[eternal palm]

See

It's basically empty

[agile perch]

ok imma just go for it then

[eternal palm]

Just take your tanks and go there

[agile perch]

oops

[polar beacon]

Funnies thing that Turkey, Iran and Afganistan were much more difficult than Japan + all of China

[eternal palm]

Italy ain't looking too hot

You might wanna deal with that

[vital cove]

japan is free

always

[agile perch]

yea 🥀

[polar beacon]

even managed to complete all five year plan focuses before

[vital cove]

they have nothing on main island

[eternal palm]

Also why do you have an army on Vichy?????

YOU CREATED VCHY

OML

[agile perch]

aaaaaaaaand gg ✌️

[agile perch]

idk why i should have it

idc abt that useless land

[eternal palm]

It's literally free steel

The best provinces of France are in the south

[polar beacon]

there is a sweet spot before even Molotov ribbentrop event hits - you can finish five year plans, go fast for Japan and china - free real estate

[agile perch]

holdup now

https://tenor.com/view/flight-reacts-shocked-gif-9885796698302419555

[vital cove]

might as well give up Berlin atp because its useless land

[polar beacon]

I also rush middle east, but don't touch Iraq - I don't want to deal with british later

[agile perch]

nahhhhhhhhhhhhh buddddd

[vital cove]

its free industry and resources

why give the ai anything

[agile perch]

gg i lost

Noob

i need to prepare better next time maybe

[icy egret]

Since Japan doesn’t start in a faction I’ve found it’s possible to get Japan in the Comintern as Soviets if you improve relations, join their war against China (allow Chiang Kai-shek to be executed but guarantee commie China), and diplomatic pressure.

[polar beacon]

fr I finally stopped touching iraq as stalin and they go walt disney path

[agile perch]

ok imm gonna take every land i can then or what

[eternal palm]

Yes

[agile perch]

ok

[eternal palm]

Like it's free stuff

Why refuse it

[agile perch]

idk

[icy egret]

This Walt Disney path better smh

Of Kaiserredux Disney paths, yeah he does have his own unique path following HIS ideology and outlook on politics as a bit of a futurist autocratic but it involves you being neutral in the second American civil war which is BORING

[polar beacon]

original one

[vital cove]

make sure to make collab governments on france

you basically double your industry by doing that

[agile perch]

uh

ok

[polar beacon]

If I killed him, this wouldn't have happened

[icy egret]

Funny

[polar beacon]

I like how soviets basically can decide the whole path for china

by click of one button in one event

[hidden gull]

How likely is it for Germany and the USSR to both go non historical on non historical AI?

[vital cove]

ussr goes non hist most of the time

Germany like half the time?

i think its basically just equal chance for every path like 25% tsarist, 25% for each left right center communism

[eternal palm]

Do u like want percentages or what lol

It's completely random

For ger it's 50%

Cuz theres only 2 choices

[hidden gull]

I'm trying this one method for the Iranian polish guarantee achievement, its about my 5th run and Germany has always remilitarized

[vital cove]

so 75%*50%=37.5%

[eternal palm]

Ye unlucky

[vital cove]

for both to go non hist

[eternal palm]

Keep rolling

[hidden gull]

🙏

[fair horizon]

how does torino have no connection to my capital?

[sudden thistle]

Sometimes the game says

“Nuh uh”

[fair horizon]

[sudden thistle]

Do u need to repair the railways?

[fair horizon]

Welcome to hoi4

[bronze mango]

If you need resources yes

[dawn marlin]

wheres the marco polo focus

[atomic grove]

nowhere

u need to do "reinforce east hebei garrisons"

if u wanna go to war with china

by that i mean it takes 420 days off the "kwantung army impatient" timer

[fair horizon]

[fair horizon]

idk what i even want from this tbh

[dawn marlin]

"some ships" but they have like 20 battle ships and 10 cruisers

and 400 screens

[fair horizon]

eh not really

i blew up like all of italy's ships

[dawn marlin]

🙁

thayts not nice

[fair horizon]

they decided to attack me in my own waters (thats a lie i hunted them down in the med)

[dawn marlin]

[dawn marlin]

[fair horizon]

[hidden gull]

My German volunteers in Spain won't return after the civil war end, fix?

[fair horizon]

wym?

[hidden gull]

Yeah

I tried disbanding the theatre, now they're there

[fair horizon]

delete them, you should get all the stuff back

[hidden gull]

They're gonna be my elite divisions

[fair horizon]

well idk, you cant move them to the port and leave can you?

[hidden gull]

Nvm, they came back after I cancelled some access to them

[fair horizon]

WAIT I GOT ITALY?

[vital cove]

why is italy balkanized

[fair horizon]

UH

dont worry about that

i might have been a bit dumb

and those are my other puppets

yeah..,

it very much angers me that this is locked behind fleet in being

[coarse ruin]

Is it possible as Sweden to get access to the Nordic council focuses and core all of scandinavia?

[hidden gull]

What does this skull mean on naval production?

[inland falcon]

be so fr rn

[hidden gull]

Why balkanize when you can RK

[inland falcon]

there was no decision for a siberian RK

and i didn't want to garrison the land

[vital cove]

both are bad

[inland falcon]

plus i love my little siberian chuddies

[vital cove]

you should have annexd

[hidden gull]

youll have options to expand moskowien

[vital cove]

puppets are really not worth it

[inland falcon]

yeah but it doesn't go all the way to siberia, maybe if i'd completed the decision for eastern RKs but i haven't

[vital cove]

you should triple collab and annex everything

way better

[inland falcon]

❌

[fair horizon]

thats what you marked it as

[inland falcon]

annexing is lame

[vital cove]

its just better and less headache

[fair horizon]

its for this menu but otherwise means nothing

[inland falcon]

more garrisons though. i'd rather just let ai puppets deal with it

[hidden gull]

I see now

[inland falcon]

besides, it's not like i desperately need the resources or anything

[vital cove]

you get way more in factories and recruitable manpower than the garrison cost

its not even close

[fair horizon]

assuming you have the equipment or the ability to lower the resistance

[inland falcon]

i'm on limited conscription with 2.76m men in reserve and my industry was able to compete with the americans in terms of fighters and tanks, there was no reason for me to garrison it

[vital cove]

you should always triple collab the Soviets

[inland falcon]

also i dont really like doing collab governments

[fair horizon]

oh i thought he was the soviets

[vital cove]

yea i mean fair enough it doesn't really matter in sp because its too easy anyways

[inland falcon]

chiles a major though and i dont know if i really want to go down there

they're the last major in the allies

[vital cove]

do it

just naval invade them

[fair horizon]

they're really easy to win against tbh

[inland falcon]

It's 1945 though and I need to deal with both Mexico and Canada

Who somehow aren't majors. But Chile is.

[fair horizon]

im gonna need more screens

[azure dagger]

i think the player always gets italy if they have higher than 5 percent war participation

[azure dagger]

yeah

just turn off the gottarmedarung dlc and hungary shouldn`t be able to core backa

[slim nexus]

@unkempt cape@valid prairie

[fair horizon]

im just gonna take over the world

[bold yew]

Oh, serbia

[kind vale]

Should I nuke the entire population of japan and take back hawaii?

[bold yew]

Why not

With termonuclear bombs

[kind vale]

Its 1962

Ima kill em all

[fair horizon]

you cant change individual task forces docks :(

[limber jackal]

why do i have 50 divs on a singular tile?

(dnipripotoversk or however its called)

i set my disv

divs*

on a fallback line

[fair horizon]

why not use a frontline?

[limber jackal]

but for some reason

well

i made that plan

before germans declared

i should probably update it

still tho

why isnt it distributing?

it should be distributing no matter the plan

nvm

for some reason they decided to redistribute when i made a frontline

mb

[bold yew]

because the AI, I guess

[limber jackal]

imma do an offensive in the axis minors chat

wish me luck

[bold yew]

Do it, free their workers

[limber jackal]

all of them have around 80 divs

so -320 divs

from axis

if i conquer them

my idea is

conquer them

go back to reinforcemennt

cause somehow

the germans have more divs than me

[bold yew]

Get air superiority, don't do crazy stuff

[limber jackal]

urm

well

my planes got wiped out after a year of war

now im just using my 700 strategic bombers

to bomb the hell out of germany

[bold yew]

Are you playing alone?

Use SPAA

[limber jackal]

whats that

god

i need odessa so much

my supply is tragic without it

[fair horizon]

self propelled anti air

its aa tanks

[flat mirage]

Non historical moment. Also, how am I supposed to take out qing china when I am Poland with only territory in Europe

[fair horizon]

hehe

you can get an extra 10 space if you get a contract thingy in the mio

[eternal palm]

Is russia not dead yet?

[flat mirage]

They are dead, but most of Russia is under allied control

So annoying because I was about to take out the allies, but then this nonsense happened

[toxic cypress]

this is why i open this chat

[limber jackal]

whats the name of that one soviet song that plays sometimes in hoi4

[oak mantle]

Is day 1 mils as germany advised

[limber jackal]

siberian tiger

[lilac glen]

How do I get air superiority over the UK?

[oak mantle]

More fighters

[lilac glen]

I tried

I have 15 mils dedicated to fighters

[inland falcon]

Radar

[oak mantle]

15 mils is NOT a lot

[lilac glen]

We adding more mils then

[oak mantle]

Maybe get like 40-45 on fighters if youre struggling to get air

Especially as germany

[unkempt cape]

@vernal wadi Discord lowkey buggin

VC gone

[lilac glen]

Yeah-

The RAF is being a pain

Also

[oak mantle]
