No one is going through those forts by land.hopefully

#

is there a way to cap italy without them going into a civil war?

#

cause I am in a situation where they are the leader of a faction with japan and nationalist spain and they have tons of puppets. I am at war with them and theoretically I can be in rome within 2 days however when I actually do that they get a civil war, become a puppet of spain and release all their puppets which for some reason also disbands the entire faction which would mean I'd have to fight hundreds of states barely larger than a single island on the other side of the world and I don't have the patience for that

i actually did it once as the us and it wasnt fun

#

something feels weird

#

πŸ€”
what is it

paper echo
#

why does ireland have northern ireland

#

it should belong to polish britain

tender stump
# paper echo if you are fast enough

I would need to perfectly time multiple naval invasions cause we have arrived at a point where taking even a small city instantly puts them into a civil war... great .-.

paper echo
#

cuz rome ticks their balance of power to absolute bottom

tender stump
#

I didn't

#

the only city I took so far was

#

triest

#

to cut the boot off from any other land

paper echo
#

i remember when i capped them i invaded sicily but there werent many units so i overran them

tender stump
#

I have naval invasions into sicily regio calabria and napoli as well as paras that can hit rome and anzio instantly, however if I don't time it perfectly they will go into a civil war

outer tide
# paper echo it should belong to polish britain

they took it in the peace confrence i won against britian and france liberated northen britian and ireland took the north

than i attacked britian that the french had liberated
took it
and than made it a puppet from my occupation control

paper echo
#

theres a chance these britains will unite

#

that usually happens to my games

outer tide
paper echo
#

yeah but sometimes the ones with the original tag and the other who doesnt have the original tag unite

#

it has an event like " (country) has peacefully unified"

#

does anyone have that one video with the greek guy reforming the byzantine empire and spouting smth about georgios kosmidis

is this a good run as an axis country for now

This time they fractured without me even doing anything they just collapsed with no reason

Italy thought that while facing me as well

sometimes the romanains put all of their troops on the border, fortify it, entrench, and are impossible to push through

What's a decomissioned template

azure palm

To make the Romanian troops spread out

Then break through in one part of the frontline and just keep going

you got flame tanks?

why not use them on your holding divs too?

realistically it probably isnt that much of a boost to defense

whats the % on forests?

90% sure this only applies to the support company itself

can you do armored engineers?

that would give them some armor too

im using sheeps AI rn

#

multiplayer games are off for me :D, no ones like to hear a high pitch noise (aka girl voice) >:(

austere crypt
#

I mean theres plenty of ways to make the game hard

#

having a few options for beginners is not bad

glossy bone
#

the way paradox handles the game being "hard" is giving you debuffs which is like why?

austere crypt
#

brother the game lives off of workshop

fair horizon
glossy bone
#

i mean look at sheeps AI or the updated AI mod

#

they make the AI prioritize the production and stop being random

#

the updated AI devs even managed to give the AI some level of micro

fair horizon
#

doesnt seem random to me tbh

#

seems like they build what they need for their divisions/fleets

glossy bone
#

while those mods make the AI prioritize like a fake pre planning

#

like in sheeps AI mod, germany can deploy 15 40w med tanks by 1940/41

#

vanilia AI could never do that

languid patrol
#

best marine template

#

anyone got an ss or smth

glossy bone
fair horizon
#

so how is that any different than just allowing the ai to cheat?

glossy bone
#

that wil be your best template

glossy bone
#

I recommend you look up sheeps AI and you see what I mean

#

they don't get buffs to construction or production

fair horizon
#

they uh, were kinda garuenteeing the independance

#

i know its still like a 1:2 ratio but it feels bad

glossy bone
#

if you can replenish your loses its always worth it

fair horizon
#

i can replace the planes but the manpower is kinda eh

glossy bone
#

if you have issues with manpower always go knights of the air imo

#

-10%manpower, and 10% agility? sign me up

fair horizon
#

no clue what that is

glossy bone
#

the sub doctrine

fair horizon
#

ah i went stuff for my carriers

glossy bone
#

I think knights of the air and air dominances are the peak choices for UK

fair horizon
#

im south africa

#

but i will probably take that into consideration on my next game

glossy bone
#

Knights of the Air is super scaling imo (someone correct me if i'm wrong) and Air dominances gives you better stats early on

fair horizon
#

i mean tbh besides the manpower i already have the agility you'd get from knights

#

but also 10% more speed too

glossy bone
#

Knights of the Air makes your aces give double buffs and also 10% agility for free and -10% manpower as well

fair horizon
#

WHICH APPARENTLY DOESNT DO ANYTHING

glossy bone
#

Maybe your design is giga bad?

fair horizon
#

its the meta design

glossy bone
#

Weird.

What up gang

glossy bone

I think

#

let go of the extra fuel tanks

#

and go double plate armor :>

teal glade
#

Personally, I just use drop tanks

fair horizon
#

i dont have a range mio unfortunately

teal glade
#

And I also use cannons, they are effective (Almost like blowing up your enemy works)

fair horizon
#

cannons really dumpster your agility though

glossy bone
#

I like knights personally

teal glade
#

Yeah, but they still shred

#

It’s good if you have a higher amount

teal glade
#

Also what’s the deal with single engine?

fair horizon
#

cheaper

glossy bone
teal glade
#

Im only decent at air, and I use double engine. Usually it’s kind of expensive, but enough to defeat AI at the least

glossy bone
#

idk how it would handle in MP

teal glade
#

Multiplayer is basically just whoever has more, basically everyone happens to know what meta is except for me

#

I just make what I think works best

Meh you can do some monkey business in MP that is funny

you can usually use this as your armored recon tank (gives tons of free break through to your pushing infantry)

Considering how expensive it is

glossy bone
#

you want to stack as much as break through as you can

#

if your break through is higher than enemy defense you deal 2x damage ( I know the numbers aren't exactly like that, its just for simplification)

shut sigil

#

thats why green air is important

#

green air gives -50% defense debuff to your enemy

Played against a friend who did inf spam Russia with air and the mofo did 50 org in the first hour of battle 😭

#

your push template lots of break through

#

your defense template lots of defense

vital cove
#

breakthrough is defense on the offense

#

tho against china too much breakthrough is kinda useless

glossy bone

#

their divisions have no atk

glossy bone
vital cove
#

oh

glossy bone
#

as japan i most of the time just go infantry spam

#

and get 16 good divisions

vital cove
#

basically every 1 atk point gives a chance to do damage, every 1 have 10% chance to crit if covered by enemy defense/breakthrough (depends if on defense or offense) and 40% chance to crit for every atk point over them

Y'all seem knowledgeable about the game so I guess it's a good time to ask....I see mountaineers and marines mesh for special forces but wouldn't it be better to use artillery instead of the 2 just to get more soft attack in? Or are the terrain modifiers and extra org that good?

basically line artillery isn't good https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qYmklEwTh6k

if you go fire cord its justifiable

I got to 500 soft attack with my mountaineer division when I played with that with full bonuses from doctrines and some from focus tree so I guess even in the grand scheme of things they aren't all that good for pushing πŸ™

#

look its not that its bad stat wise

#

you just gonna lose a lot of it

fair horizon

its only really good as support artillery because that gives good bonuses

well it is

1st you are fighting china

2nd if you are island hopping, you dont get logi striked

And to be honest I always thought of special forces divisions were supposed to be big

glossy bone

it really depends

for what you are using them for

shut sigil

yeah

#

you make them vet 5 in china

#

and than go eat america

shut sigil

Sounds interesting but I definitely am not putting myself through the horror of playing that nation ever again lol

glossy bone
#

you also can make your carrier air fleets vet 5 in china for later use against allies (a mp tip)

glossy bone
#

yeah p much

#

carriers and cruiser subs

shut sigil

Tbh I thought of carriers as quite weak compared to other ships because of the amount of AA one could have going against a carrier fleet

if you germany

rush cruiser subs

and AI cant do much

i dont think even people can do much against cruiser subs

#

you can make the visibility so low no one can detect it

#

arent cruiser subs banned in MP?

shut sigil

Btw is there something to be said about fleet subs? I see they are looking to be a bit stats wise but I am not sure about the numbers

shut sigil

I am still learning the game

cruiser subs are meta

thats all i know πŸ€·β€β™€οΈ

Besides cruiser sub spam?

28w infantry is meta? no thank you i find that boring

I still stick to my 18w support artillery and shovels guys

yeah 28w is the infantry that pushes

And you'd be able to invade

sharp yarrow
#

this is the territory

glossy bone

either kill russia

#

or let them land on france and use my trick

sharp yarrow
#

has been like this for 3 in game years

glossy bone
#

i told you, your options

sharp yarrow
#

so i let them land

glossy bone
#

and use the AA trick i said

#

to kill planes

sharp yarrow
#

oh

#

ill try

glossy bone
#

look the AA mechanic is weird in battle

#

but simply its RNG

sharp yarrow
#

but most likely ill have to restart cuz the 2K divisions are making my laptop lag

glossy bone
#

and the higher Air attack your div has

#

the better the rng

sharp yarrow
#

i forgot to mention this is r56

#

sry

glossy bone
#

r56 uses same

#

combat mechanic

#

you just need a div that has super high air attack

sharp yarrow
#

ok

#

thank you

#

i should have capped uk before usa joined

#

@shut sigil oh btw i forgot to tell you this as well

#

if you think your equipment is gonna fight in low supply areas until reliability 60% it really wont effect you much

shut sigil

But I thought the mark was 80% lol

shut sigil
#

Bad with names but if you got enough manpower (atleast 800k) and you play smart you won't need to do anything

#

Unless you recruit more ppl ofc

#

But if the next recruitment law gives you negative output try to delay going there as much as possible

glossy bone
#

if you are in attrition

shut sigil
#

So this shit really is useless then huh

glossy bone
#

yep

#

the reliability lose of 60% and 100% are almost the same

#

so if you think you gonna fight in low supply areas, keep that in mind

shut sigil
#

Okay so my autism brain needs to remember 60% is what I am aiming for cuz ik I will forget to do supply micro

Cuz Russia and Asia are a pain in the ahh

Has Naval Range in HoI4 changed? As USA I cannot operate a Carrier task force west of Midway Island. Many older subs cannot go there either, except to a base and then they cannot operate out of that base (Wake Island, for example). Given that the game seems blown, I checked Japan, their carriers are unable to reach Midway, let alone Hawaii. I have mods but they should not affect this and I tried the game without mods and got the same result. What may be happening here? Areas to the west of Midway where forces could go are ow off limits, does anyone know what may be happening?
