Do use heavy bomb locks?
Power of Bagutte

Teto mio cooked on this
What is CWIC?
Oh, I can upgrade anti-tank 2 gun on CAS
cold war iron curtain
Use heavy they give more numbers for cas
MD is bad, BICE is if you played “realistic” hoi4
I haven’t tried it lowk
?
it looks fun
No
I didn't research that
Send screen of research
Is this template good?
1 inf, 1 field hospital
Bottom one
Okay, thanks
It is heavy
U can than compare cas damage in template designer
Move cursor on attack stat
How much bonus percents give cas
That's nice
💔
Use spies too
Check their debuts on defens
Debuffs*
Huh
And also gives more intel bonuses in attack stats
Yes
I sent Soviet both
anything but elaborate 😢 💔
oh nvm
Yay
I forgot attackers don't have defense
Yep
i like Bice cold war iron curtain and Millenium dawn becus of the techs equipments units and templates
More !
I can't with Poland
no nazi flags/imagery please.
Guys, I need help
How are you losing to Poland
it should be rn
Just fix your logistics, make it all one frontline, clean up the frontline, retreat if you have to to do that, and then push and it'll be easy like it's Poland dude it's all plains there's no hard territory to get past
I'm new
And I still don't quite understand how this invasion thing works.
What do I have to do?
Assign a field martial firstly
So you see the plus thing all the way on the left? Opposite of where the make a new army and assign a general thing is? Click on all of your armies invading Poland, put them all on one field martial and make one field martial frontline
And then use the battle plan button like the arrow thing to just plan and invasion and put some air up and it'll be easy
There's tutorials on some of this stuff if it doesn't make any sense
no
they have their focus path set at the beginning of the game and modified by in game oddities/events
So all I have to do is put all the armies at the front and that's it?
guys I made a comment and explored terrains in the new dev corner and also navy which needs fixing, if people can leave a like or something that would be appreciated https://forum.paradoxplaza.com/forum/threads/dev-corner-2601004-taog-dutch-east-indies.1896471/post-31082223
@heavy vigil Also I liked ur comment yesterday btw
emu power
what is a fun country to play as?
yipee
no im evil
time to commonwealth renascence
🫃
!!!
meth supply secured
gotta get gustavo's los pollos hermanos chains in nevada and cali
to truly secure the meth supply chain
wasn't there a thing where you could get infinite ressource rights in your puppets somehow? or am I tripping?
opening moves
second wave
so what do i do to make regions accessible
is it based germany in kredux
bro why do my demands get unselected when i unselect one thing
can they not fix this shit
what do you think about this?
remove the line artillery
check out the world borders
this is so annoying
which one do i do
cause i thought peaceful reunification would be good
but its not gonna be easy to get
you need to pause the game, look at popups and read tooltips
Germany in that mod is so weak
And idk why
Are 21/0’s with large unit sub doctrine good?
you didn't assign field marshals, you have units without armies assigned, you are getting outmanoeuvred because of no micro and because you're not paying attention to the frontlines, you're basically standing there like a deer in headlights
That’s what I thought
Idk why i declared on Austrian alliance
Killed them
Also Germans was free from east
I wasn't declaring on them
And than they just lost
I’m more a infantry type player than a tank one
Anyone ever acknowledge the fact that there's just 4 urban provinces bordering each other in Poland
god i hate having allies
shanxi literally didnt exist
i recreated them
all of their land was GONE
just imagining the industry i couldve had..
i followed hatless spiders paradropping france strat to get 52 factories
did the battle royale achievement
ive followed 0 tutorials and this is my 2nd attempt at this
last time i died in like 1939
yea
i need the allies to intervene lol
are you using the militia at least
literally every div i have is milita
their buffs are insane
oh its 1944 jesus
yeah lol
idk where the allies are
should germany still exist lol?
i cant even remember
whats the ship counts
oh
how to fix?
umm
this isnt supposed to happen right
yea its pretty weird
lol cooked
screwed folder or file permissions
any good video to help fix
have no coastal provinces
Just go to properties and and make sure its not read only, additionally just turn everything to allow for your user
Just do offensive line
wait this could be good
we capped manchuko
i got new land
NEVERMIND
CHINA TOOK IT
I HATE CHINA
I GENUINELY HATE CHINA
THEYVE RUINED EVERYTHING
You get the bonuses no matther what line u make, even if you micro
If you dont want to deal with micro then yea
If you are not making encirclements every 5 seconds with your tanks
tysm
I mean u can but like u dont have to, and you can always change the agrresivnes of your armies depending how fast u want to push
with more casualties usually
@untold coyote my dear boy
i hate non commy china
having fun?
I am new to the game and there's still a lot I don't understand, but I wanted to share my most recent game as fascist UK it is so fun! You can core all of North America and most (all?) of Europe too. I've never had 12M manpower and 1400 factories by only 1943 before
china suck
but tbf
it’s been fun
beating japan as communist has been nice
actually my first time beating a major as a minor
why hasnt a rebellion started
Why didn paradox release dlcs for australia, thailand etc in the previous update with japan
i love general grinding
me have 40h but i forgot to take poland territories W or L
its just a small mistake
you will learn
ok
Na
No one ever Hase
yep
me
i always did the african union
If you now a few "handy" tricks you can make it work
they literally fight me
Now turn it comienist
W
im commy china
BUT
IM SO ANNOYED
I DEFENDED THIS ENTIRE CONTINENT
BY MYSELF
AND LOOK HOW MUCH LAND I HAVE
LOOK AT IT
NONE
i cannot wait for the peace conference
im also immediately declaring war on republic of china
as ive infiltrated every state
so ill just like get them immediatel
im enjoying this
appreciate it comrad
i love this
i hate communism in real life
but in games
its pretty much all i play
yeah
I can't
i always get broken through on one tile then it all collapses
I don't a a single dlc
Use space marines Czechoslovakia and you can form Austria-Hungary
space marines are inf with tanks in them yes?
i have 0 navy btw
Wait lemme send the template
i literally have no ports
No problem
not quite sure how we're gonna cap japan
czecho has light tanks off rip
Beg us for help
theres also a shadowing problem in europe...
You can also add anti-air and logistics company
Stalin took a L lol
no stalin cool
he help me
in japan war
by giving weapons
Help you're comrade
line arti?
It's the comie way
ON THE TOPIC OF ERADICATING FACISM FROM ASIA...
where are the allies
You in iron man mode ?
WHERE ARE THEY
always
Useless like always
K
i guess i must be the asian communist superpower from now on
nah i dont cheat
i just gotta hope mr mustach likes me
I do it sometimes just to screw around
so they just attack spam until u run out of org then they overrun u with tanks and motorized
You have good forts
ive done so many czechoslovakia runs but i just cant hold
are these good?
You start in 1936 right?
yes
No clue
so you have 2 years to prepare
the best strat is to rush little entente, beat hungary, rush sudeten forts for 1,2% recruitment increase then rush communism with a human face
atleast thats the one i do
also desperate defence
i have been playing a lot of finland aswell
i dont really play majors tbf
if theres less to defend=less micro to be done
we freed korea!
isnt there a peace event if that happens
tried to teach my mate the basics for hoi4
and he got so overwhealemed it's insane
why do the traitors have the north?
nope
ive got 200 hours in the game but i still suck
can't have any japanese allies or forces on mainland china
where are you having issues
could be the divisions, or just the equipment
i'd practice as italy
try and annex ethiopia before bro dips to england
by far the best country to get better with basic combat
allies are nowhere to be seen
research air
and theres a lurking problem
and paratroopers
no, france is actually a very competent nation
i learned that
however this was the end of their century of humiliation
you just have to do the air production focus
am i trippin bruh why does the british raj own aden
they start with it
it was their way to control the red sea, and control the british
wsp?
Idk how to do barbarossa
i start fine and capture up to minsk
but then everyone just stops
no im saying idk how to do it correctly
you gain a temp national spirit called "Unterwehmen Barbarossa"
do you have a save from before the invasion?
yes
why does it say i need 50% world tension to declare
ive never even reached crimea
you are unaligned nation maybe
im fascist
new player here (or just a stupid one), am i doing good....
do u have mods
sheeps
You could push
im scared they have like 2x the divisions
so what i found is that it's impossible to win as Defensive France
it's still a struggle as Aggressive France but it's doable
gimme like 2 minutes and i'll join a vc so i can help guide you better
you just build a ton of Fighters and shift Military Factories to what you need more of
i cant really vc rn
Not rly
wdym by defensive france
Maginot country
well, may i see the templates, and how many of what you got?
oh i forgot to show logistics,,
Why like no fighters
deplo more divisions, and try put more millitary factories on planes
especially as france
I honestly didn't know that air is needed a lot
/overestimated the ammount that would be produced
sure
ill go back to my old save
that's fine, it happens
1 second
can we see your plane design?
Not better than the normal signals company unless you want break for your tanks or you're going tank destroyers
both of which you want to do in multiplayer but not singleplayer
templates and combat width are wild concepts to me becouse i hate how they are not really intuitional yet i don't want to use meta becouse it drains fun out of hoi4,
Bruh
if you can afford rubber you should invest in more air defense
fair
its as important as air attack
I think they're intuitional
OH good point
At least enough for sp
and if u cant
i always hear 18/21/24 but don't know which when
Also i know 40 org the best for starters and max soft attack
upgrade air defense without using extra rubber
yeah that too
fort spam
Germany just kinda pushes through them with magic
2nd of all, use plane 3s (1940) and engine 3
3rd of all, cas is usually better than tact bombers
are those HMG or LMG?
15-19 is good for defense, 32-39 is good for attack
hmgs fortunately
I mean intutional as in you can just sort of throw shit out and it'll stick
HMGs
And when you switch to plane 3s, add more bombs and guns
did the meta change from it being 2x cnn/h.cnn and 4x HMG?
i mean when i was a baby in hoi4 i just threw arty majority divisions and called it a day
When i was a baby in hoi4 i used the default ger inf and called it a day
@eternal aspen And i have 250 divisions
Which is good cuz the ger inf is pretty decent
i see your issue
Light tanks in 1941 or whenever you're invading
use that template, wiht a 2nd full regiment of mot/mech, and go to 4x MT and 2x HT
i have no idea what that means
i am
MT is medium tank, HT is heavy tank
then they're worth it
mot is motorized, and mech is mechanized
Ok
it's more important to understand how the stats work so you can just make your own templates
for your tanks i'd say push the ukraine plains and the livonian region (push into ukraine and the baltics)
you'll want to avoid the cnetre for a while because of marshes
last time i got to
minsk and they just stopped moving and had yellow exclamation marks
your tank divisions should be 36 width, and you should not have line artillery
for foot infantry it isn't detrimental, at least compared to using LT
it still is bad to have line artillery
i love my line artillery
im new sorry
nah it's fine
bwah
why tho
you learn over time
this isnt ask for help
i have 360 hours and i still suck lol
people can do whatever they want here
i have 100
I'd love to argue with anyone on this important topic. If you have any questions feel free to ask below.

Oh mein gott
i now few things do
How to be considered as a major country
as for composition, i would 100% recommend infantry to hold the line, then tanks to push
be stronk
Industry or focuses or faction
Wir suchen dich
idk how accurate this is however
Thank you heval
i only know it isn't size because as PRC i can hold all but industrialized china and have no major status
thans
ill use that for my next game
where are u from
Major status is like some percentage of the #1 industry
Or from a focus
Or being a faction leader
british colony out west
shant drop the country bc that's one step towards knowing where i live
It's major until you stop being the leader
Basically, countries cap once they own under a certain percentage of "victory points"
Cities, the capital, and some tiles hold vps
Capitals usually hold the most
And usually by far the most
all of the above
why do you have Arabic in ur Bio
I thought u were arab lol
not a topic for the server, but because 🇵🇸
Yes
ion think you can see the specific amount, but you can see a percentage based off the VP's they have assuming no wars are being wages
Yes
And you can count vps
No even with a war being waged
no, i mean like assuming all wars against them or from them ended in a WP, that's the amount they own
though it has been like, a year since i actually played it properly
so i wouldn't be shocked if my knowledge is a bit off
Huh
like, take the USSR for example
if germany invades them mid winter war, would the VP's the soviets control from finland count towards the soviet VP count even if the war is still ongoing?
encirclements
or would it only count towards the VP's the soviets only own, excluding occupied ones
no only core or fully controlled vps count
n i c e
Play sultunate of aussa
nah play as Bhutan
Cuz it's an ethiopia minor
All of them do
always have war eco
Nope
They added energy cuz there was no other reason
Free trade unless you're broke on resources
im screwed probably
I need to get Woman in the High Castle
150k-906k
Mussolini absolutely messed up the last run by joining the allies when I was at war with him
who are you
france
not really
i am never playing historical ever again
austria main
britain has to be the worst thing ever in historical
?
I am never playing Nonhistorical again
realism.
with the conditions that i am sunking their navy
Nah
use good units
heres how to hoisplain just use good units
just do this other thing
This is the main push div
21/0's my beloved
And front holder
Get it up to 36 width and use mecha instead of motorized
get flame tanks and pioneers or something too
I disagree:
Free Trade if you have a little resources and it doesn't matter anyway
Export Focus otherwise
Use armored engi instead of pioneers
i usually never research the tank engineers
I mean broke as in no civvies and no resources
Free is useful if you have a shitton
Like you've conquered most of the world
Not necessary really but it gives better buffs
Still not useful
yea it is are u dumb
Drop recon in general tbh
I have to spend 400 PP to get Victoria for my run plus another 450 for laws
how is it september
Some support comps are better
Bruh
i never make tanks i guess so i wouldnt know
all and all I'm looking at 1250 PP for advisors laws and decsions
Signals are better for example
And logistics sometimes
id never sacrifice terrain bonuses for that honestly
I would
The bonuses are only to defense
eh I'm more of an infantry guy because
how many divs did you send to Ethopia
just the ones that spawn there
you should send all 46
22 in the north 24 in the south
gotta starve the brits
bro im already struggling supply wise
raid the convoys
how would 46 divs all get supply
Pizza delivery
I do 23 23
They dont
No I would have mountaineers in the north and the armor divs in the south
( @split bane im catching you one day)
plus you spawn 2 irregular divisions when Assua joins you
You start with 44 and that brings it to 46 iirc
These are the tenders im gonna make out of you
i just used the divs that spawn in africa
Uh huh, I'm signing you up for a nursing home
Nooooooo
Not the nursing home
we yalking about italy?
Convert civillian factories to military factories
What country you playing as
Idk i ussually don't have supply issiues if i'm doing motoriesd
guys, this might sound like kind of a dumb question
but is it possible to make an event for the world but with different buttons depending on which country you are?
for example let's say the event is
"liechtenstein invades switzerland"
"after the repeated invasions of switzerland into liechtenstein, the microstate had finally sought for revenge, capturing bern in one second and capitulating the helvetic confederation (idk)"
and as liechtenstein you get smth like "no more swiss chocolate :)" as a button
as switzerland "oh crap"
and as any other country "interesting" or smth idk
is that possible?
Guys how do you manage to win as china?.i love china but with this new dlc it's harder than ever
china is divided into like 20 states
as kmt china i just turned ahistorical on so the japanese wouldnt attack
I never get enough weapons i have no windustry my army has no weapons
as kmt you make artillery instead of gun
more attack per IC
That's not the way to go
Like i manged to defeat japan but in 42
I wamt it fast
Like 38
paratroopers maybe
just 50 transport planes
Holy mother of christ
but yeah thats probably not possible with normal china
i love my paratroopers
?
Anyone from romania?
da
in this video, I'll show the way to easily core all of china and knock japan off the continent quickly!! As Chiang Kai Shek and Nationalist China
no more waiting until 1940 or 41 to finally kick the Japanese menace out.
and on top of that, we'll also be able to easily defeat all the different warlords after defeating Japan.
achievements poss...
Lets see the scoreboard
im gonna try this mod now that im decent at the game
I almonst won once before when i was a noob
OVER
Yo
aaaand again
Press the notification that says “you are at war”
Should I switch to the medium howitzer when I get it or keep the close support gun?
Like this
yeah ik ik
i know now
but i didn't watch them
the british had like 4M casualties while i had around 2mil
You make them obsolete
By clicking the orange dot on the top right corner of that plane
Me and my mate are doing casual vanilla historical mp game, we're going to play as Germany and Italy. We need a Soviet and Uk player right now, if anyone would like to join please dm me.
Me and my wife are doing casual vanilla historical mp game, we're going to play as Germany and Italy. We need a Soviet and Uk player right now, if anyone would like to join please dm me.
you have a wife?
Austria Hungary as Hungary is way too OP lol
like you can form austria hungary + have all italy and poland puppet
ally with spain + mexico and biggest army + industry
killing germany is ez
then killing vichy for navy ez
usa hasn't even an army yet and you already have mexico ez
you also have italian navy
so with the big navy ez invasion of brittain lol
USSR no biggie just 36w battleplan
Japan and China are prob the only majors that are a challenge lol
China because of supply and japan because they at least have strong navy and army
which shizo ahh dev made this focus tree lol
way to boring if so ez
only problem is lag because of all the puppets
holy casualities
i'm good how are you?
return of the HRE
White is the Habsburg alliance
Gotterdammerung is a true powerhouse of a dlc
sad belgium got a focus tree instead of czecho rework
at the same time a czecho rework would be very difficult tbf
but what does it have to do with germany and austria and hungary
im just saying czechoslovakia would fit the dlc more
Prussia now serves Otto, yet... The HRE is still fractured...
The pesky brits like many years ago have strong influence over hanover and democratic german states
I'm just sad there's no flemish supremacist path
if they were a better company they would have included both
i would it in a balkan rework
Yugo rom cze albania and greece
They could have made shizo flemish path where you get focus "Return of the Only succesfull crusade"
And just like rl all the crusader states are Flemish counts
Also Constantinople was ruled by House of Flanders, could be a funny decision
a hussite czechia path as an anarchist one would be cool
also Normandy invasions were mostly done by Flemish mercs, maybe funny decision too.
theres not a lot of anarchist nations other than in the spanish civil war
So much Flemish history and meme paths and then they went on to make fkn puke ghaul which is pretty much just french smh
legit most individuals think belgium is french and completely ignore that it's a majority flemish dutch people
Is it nice to play Austria? I've been playing only Latvia and Lithuania for the last week now
any achievements come from Austria? 🤑
I'm hungary lol
oh wow
best austro hungary path is hungary kek
But best hungary path is not austro hungary
i like austria only bc they can actually form HRE unless I'm wrong
(HRE with Liechtensteiners)
yes
you can become liechtenstein
after conquering germany
such a meme nation tbf
Bro traded a diamond for some copper
"conquering the world as liechtenstein"
rate my incicrimal
the whole country was supposed to be rented by snoop dogg
and now its the equivalent of fear
Top 3 minor nations
portugal
Austria
Chile
Norway
norway?
only monarchist and communist are good
definetly 0 bias
i swear finland annexes estonia in every one of its paths
bro what I own half the world and my puppets just gave up bessarabia lol
they think i'm weak
Atlasproductions mentioned 🔥
maybe
idk if spelled his name right
i also play a lot of finland
im pretty good
every way to play the soviet union
the greater nations
first Austria run 🤤
use militias
yeah thats my plan, in multiplayer when i was PLC, Austria had militia and it was op
welcome to the best nation in the entire game
even better than lithuania?!?!
yes
still not better then new zealand
Bob Semple tank solos whole german army
best austria path is the one where you let yourself get annexed by GER
secret event happens with space cows and shi
someone fact check me
You get annexed by ger and then control them from the inside
having their cores and industry
Austria is the best nation in the entire game
Bros name is Austria main xddd
uhm sure
Okay….
doesnt even have a coastline
why whould it be the best
some nations don't need a coastline to be great
no coast = not a country
hungary doesn't have a coastline and it's great
i know this
austria lost before ww2
never really cared about this tbh
no navy
well they did have one in ww1 so mabye its like a difference between size of coastlines too
Austria in ww1
let's not talk about that
it was the worst performance out of the CP
idk britian had some massive naval blunders
even the ottomans ( sick man of europe) did something
if Germany won at jutland
they would've get some breakthroughs in the british blockade
they kinda did tbh
and force a retreat
not really
i mean if you go by numbers the british navy lost
but the british navy was still bigger
Guys is there a mod where division/tank/plane designs don’t cost Xp?
the chinese soviet didn't
and by technicality, the 2nd sino japanese tends to get clumped into ww2
They mightve with the areas they occupied
even though it was its own separate conflict, with far more deaths, and way more brutal
that is fair, if you count the post-war borders then yes
different war and therefore doesnt count
nope, every source tends to clump them together
i'd google it, but that's a lot of work when i could eat
The german one was much better
but the british suffocated them
didnt matter though
the german ships during ww2 were better as well but there was just still less of them
sorta, the german surface fleet was overshadowed by any US or British surface vessel, but the submarine fleet, germany held the strongest ships for 50 years
though, most german surface ships also don't have much fame or "glory"
so not many of them are known, even if they were superior in every manner
i mean during the battles they won like gneisnau and scharnhorst in ww1 they were fighting outdated ships
peak map
the country of democratic socialism
lmao
best country
south africa has such good supply it actually irks me
research radio
damn you danube
estonian dropshippers...
Italian AI is so stupid lol
They spam so many divisions in Africa, get encircled and then have no divisions to defend their mainland
🥀
whats anglosphere
british colonies/countries and stuff
anglo to my knowledge is a term for people from britian
k
finally managed to break through
Does anyone know how to survive?
🥀
you suck ass
Hey all what do you guys think about Playstation 5 having Hearts of iron 4
You basically need a keyboard and mouse to play Hoi4 idk how that would even work
Best pic I had in my last full playthrough (Washington was nuked later, the strike failed 1st time around)
such a slugfest after the new england manuever actually worked
do declarng war
on countries
that are being gareenteed by another country which you have a non agression pact with call that other country into war?
im pretty sure its guarantees over non agression pact
it overrides the pact and adds them to the war
I havent tested it out yet, might try that out
hows the polynesia run
wow, fascist america
Operation high castle?
wasnt the idea
chat i did it, im a real country now
I was just doing whatever looked like a supply hub
which did work
cuz i won 😎
Sultunate of aussa playthrough when
ew no
Booo
britian isnt happy btw
Shocker
i just wanted my land :(
Bro wtf
also im now the world's chromium baron
you can screenshot on computers btw
I'm playing on a TV hahaha
you can still screenshot on that
I don't have my keyboard dude
skill issue
Hahahaa
poland is eating germany alive
These French people think they're Napoleon, so they can invade like this.
Hmmmm
lmao
infantry based builds
colonizers must go (except france)
and italy because they helped me crush britian
spot the imposter
manchuko
Hungary for sure
idk why the mod have to buff the soviet union even more
germany is already in a rather.... bad situation
Have yall seen a k/d ratio this bad
commieboos when talking about russia:
how does one accomplish this
I mean my kd to america was like 1.8m vs 10m americans but damn
Fortress Benelux
makes lots of sense
😭
makes no sense
well
it does but, it makes no sense to be in hoi 4
benelux republic 🚫
it should be swapped and russia needs -10
so many different things they could do with high casualties.
germany didnt take that many losses compared to russia
Real and true
war support, stability, army xp, plenty of options
and they choose recruitable population
by the time you'd get to those kind of war casualties youd be on scraping the barrel or just slam out of MP 😭
oh yeah
the british navy has seen better days...
howd you do that?
i dont even have a navy
you can just meme it with like 6 paratroopers and then deploy your entire army on a single port
luv me navy
is this occupation law worth using on ethiopia
very stupid, but damn if it doesnt work
well i could but like im at the bottom of africa
who would win, the largest navy in the world with the largest empire in the world
or
until I get aoi ofc
a few german boys with funny parachutes
they werent even good paras
i didnt know what template to give
yeah id have to cross a few continents to throttle britian so
ive tried playing as the usa after I won a germany
i hate the ai
how does britan fumble bad enough to lose cario BEFORE 1941? 😭
how
It happens
join war in 1941
Italy locks in occasionally
