look at the ammount of forts I have
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
if you are fast enough
i actually did it once as the us and it wasnt fun
fr
why does ireland have northern ireland
it should belong to polish britain
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 .-.
i should suggest not rushing rome
cuz rome ticks their balance of power to absolute bottom
I didn't
the only city I took so far was
triest
to cut the boot off from any other land
i remember when i capped them i invaded sicily but there werent many units so i overran them
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
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
nah i know why it didnt do return terretory cus my puppet didnt had the "ENG" tag so only the second puppet i had released into it
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
losing African dominance was pretty bad but it stabilised for now
why do these dumb traits take so long
I am tempted to just delete italy with commands at this point this is getting so annyoing
This time they fractured without me even doing anything they just collapsed with no reason
Try guessing my country it started out as a minor now has 38 mils and 42 divs and controls leningrad and Moscow, has two countries as puppets it is also in the Axis
But without looking at the map I sent
Have to write it like this cause bs is apperently a horrible word now
seriously tho, what am i meant to do
theres three unbottlenecked naval bases
trains to every province
fleets guarding the convoys
what more am i supposed to do
too much divisions maybe
use less divisions there
and upgrade the naval base
i cant really, the americans are putting divs there anyway
There is currently 3 italys in my current playthrough. They all appeard after a civil war happened, except that they are not at war with each other
you're probably overstacking divs, lacking trains/convoys or getting convoy raided
hard to say with such a limited view
Is this a good fort line?π§
do you have AA to protect it from getting bombed ?
I think only in some provinces but I will add more
you need lvl 3 on any province with a fort on it, and that's a bare minimum
Ok
if not, it's not a good fortline as it'll fall within weeks
I will build AA I have 16 free civs for building and none of my enemies are currently on my borders so I will have enough time
good
Italy Game 4
depends
no not really
not really
except for very niche areas like baltic defense where you need to free up mapower and can use costal forts for that
wait what is this? I just found it wihle hovering over my stability modifiers I have never seen this before
is it cause of my port guard?
so how does me playing communist china end up with the USSR being capitulated by the germans?
navy so good got supremacy over brits
bless whatever made AI poland take vladivostok, for it is funny as hell
I just finished my first game with Little Entente France
it's so fun
but also very easy lol
as long as you hold the maginot Germany just doesn't have to strength to win it's Eastern front so early
Have anyone outside of poland seen material about HOI4 in polish national television? They said that HOI4 is Russian Propagand game because they've seen mod East Showdown and They think whole game is like that
Which communist China path is the strongest and which is the weakest?
I canβt find any info online as the only path people play is mao
diarchy is good
mao is good
other path sucks
Zhang?
Whatβs wrong with the bolsheviks?
no good buffs
Ok
for some reason iraq and iran joined central europe alliance (i dont have screenshot cause idk how) and italy is in the brotherhood of south america, is this what alt historical about?
#ask-for-help-here also you have youtube tutorials and also i think you need 70% air and stuff
To be honest, playing Ethiopia is easier than playing Poland
Could be
h
why is Hirohito looking at me like this bruh
When grinding for army exp is it better to spread the units out or concentrate then in one area
Why is he high-key FINE ππ
Inbred btw
every monarch is inbred this isnt something new
yall aint ready for this take but this is the hottest leader in HOI4
you should be able to start a rescue mission yes
Its ok. Its to remove bloat
Prob 5'3 btw
NO 5'6
so im doing a communist china game on non historical, should i go down "burn the paper tigers" or "the unwilling diarchy" im obv going mao
Which is worse because he is not taller than me nor shorter than me
ππππππππππ
you have to be one of the two, stop playing
I added an inch btwπ
Does anyone here actually know how resistance works?
Most relevant is state population, occupation law and whether you're meeting the occupation requirement, I believe
but what about rebellion?
Even when its 100% it often just doesnt trigger
How does that work?
how do i ensure that yugoslavia refuses my ultimatum(as italy)
you cant ensure it but why do you want them to refuse anyways?
so i can get yugoslavia and romania in one fell swoop
what about france?
the french guarantee drops before romanian one
or I can just get all three
paratroopers are fun
if im fast enough, I get all three, otherwise, I get yugo and romania easily
can you defeat all of them though?
What's a decomissioned template
and romania?
just kill yugo adn push from there ig
JUST PUSH MY BROTHER IN CHRIST
im italy, i can probably handle some balkan minors
Even though it might also be guaranteed by Czechoslavia
countries
Famous last words
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
a template you decomissioned but it still exists
Then I can just pull troops back into Yugoslavian land
To make the Romanian troops spread out
Then break through in one part of the frontline and just keep going
Same as I do to solo Belgium as Germany
Yeh taking supply hubs and upgrading motorization if you got the trucks
But it's like really bad
It's 500 planes per 1 Supply
Don't do it
It's literally cheaper to build rails and hubs
It's not quick though
Yea.
It's shit.
can someone tell me what country do i play next
Play Latvia
And form the Military Directorate
why dont they make this game more fun for base game theres not that many things to do π₯
π
I mean, they have already integrated 4 dlcs into the base game
And pdx needs money trust
Small indie studio
thius has to be a joke
theres like a billion more bro
Yea
You don't say π€―
should i pre emptively strike the germans
if you have a shit ton of equipment I donβt see why not
i dont think he has anything tbh
well thats sucks
when you want lot of plane
hello
can someone give me a small guide
on the new mechanics
i forgot how to play hoi4 since gotterdammerung
Special projects are fairly optional
Flame tanks have been moved there and are ofc good
Nukes too
how to make nukes?
lets say i built a nuclear facility
whats the next step?
Same as before but the tech is now projects
so i cant research nuclear weapons in the research tab anymore?
Yeh
You research atomic research and then you do a special project to get reactors and then another to get the bomb itself.
Once you get bombs, you have to make nuclear raids that take like 20 days to prepare. Nukes however actually give penalties to a state when they are dropped now though
do i need strategic bombers for this
or do i have to research a new kind of planes
Yes, but air superiority optional*
alright
You can do a raid in red air, just expect things to not go well
what does this focus do exactly
do i go to war with yugo or smthA?
whats a good marine division?
i will buy purchase get licenses and get lend lease as Estonia to be a SUPERPOWER
in hoi4 i mean
ill MASS PRODUCE all techs and equipments
the ottomans have now an actual fleet, should i still even still use the old greek and ottoman ironclads-?
half marines half mountaineers/rangers
uh oh
GET RECKED AUSTRIA
son im crien
Why does Bulgarian Balkan Federation have a requirement "only countries with capitals in the Balkans"?
Usually it does, that's why it's a useless focus since you can just manually justify on yugoslavia
I literally can't invite Turkey cuz of that
u can remove it
remove the requirement
U can't, it requires you to control most of the Balkans in order to remove
send ss
It needs you to have at least 85% faction goal fulfillment and the goal is control the Balkans
You Get croitia aNd less world tension and it takes less time than justifying a war i think
not useless at all
this is what alt historical is
why did netherlands join the allies out of nowhere
(the green thing in mexico is asutrralia)
uh oh
now you make me want to do the baltics. damit.
Me
Are jets worth researching?
No but you can then ask them to join
we're done for
Should have made a navy smh
as the Baltic unitary state 
Hearts Of Iron : IV
their focus
succesful turkish run
its time
entire reich on my ass
ELECTION?
@fair horizon
nice
i was convoy raiding with 5 battleships last night and a heavy cruiser and 12 destroyers ended up getting got from trying to save them
too many troops, not enough supply coming in
YES
remember that the british stole HMS Agincourt from you
I managed to naval invade one time and from that day I could never re do it
i reject paratroopers
how's this template for holding my ass againts the reich (communist Uk still in the fight againts the germans, and also the Americans too)
SHOVELS ARE CRINGE
are you commie?
Narva barely held
alright so no slow trickle then
not sure how much manpower goes into shovels but you probably could take that off and use the ic for something else
yo guys how good is millenium dawn multiplayer?
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
i already got it so its mine
i only did entente to piss off the devs
its one of the coolest battleships irl that just never got used enough
i am pretty sure its that one ship with like 6 guns
?
7 turrets iirc?
is that the one from special projects?
yeah that one will do
-51 steel π’
id see if you could buy some from sweden if you have any convoys
is germans cooked
less likely to get raided
i am pretty sure you are done for
i also btw officially decommisioned the ironclads of the ottoman navy
NOOOOO
well you'll probably lose those too
yeah but can you hold on 3 guns a day?
i am not going to dismantle them they will act as museum ships
USEFUL SHIPS
We might have bigger fish to fry
there were 6 at the battle of jutlands
bud 3 of them dont even have a heavy gun, and the other 3 are greek
Is this gwr
i never research that tbh does it even do anything?
ye, officially my last playthrough in this mod, after that i will most likely switch to end of all wars or the other
does it include australia's battleship?
Yeah I refuse to support the mod anymore
After some things came to light recently
after i have found out what the devs are like i will no longer support it either
but i started this ottoman run already a while ago so i seek to finish it
chat where is casablanca?
morroco
ty gonna get that acheivement real quick
gross
its all german isnt it 
crap it belongs to my puppet
not even great war redux does it
Did you draw the battle plan arrow
very sad
it didnt fight at jutland because new zealand rammed her but new zealand did
Indefatigable?
ye ik
tho its pretty clear why it isnt included given it was build in 1913 after wikipedia
let me check the 1914 start date rq
oh does it start before that?
great war redux starts around 1910
which of these are better as japan?
in the 1914 date it seems to spawn#
based
probs the -25% supply consumption
not based because of the devs
well sure
do i keep victor emmanuel after the pope takes control as italy hoi4
SCREAM IF YOU LOVE SUPPLY
MORE GUNS
I HAVE NO RESOURCES FOR MY FACTORIES
mabye i ought to try more destroyers from now on...
does tfr worth it
kek
love btw that the UK controls the New zealand and has her stationed in australia as an insult btw
horrible
but sadly even wiki says that the new zealand wasnt controled by australia
i love using battleships to convoy raid
iirc they were owned by the dominions but lent to britian for the war
you should have given it in the peacedeal to them
bruh
i usually dont create them until the war is over with the soviets
bruhhhh
yo do you wanna go on a game with me and 2 other dudes fr
not feeling like it rn
because they dont core any of their territory so it just ends up being a country with zero cores
fair
atleast you dont have me holding back your wifi quality
about to jump greece again, beginning ww2
Uhm
What is going on
What country
Heard some noises downstairs
Went down
It isnβt my cat
And
I think I left my back door unlocked
Plus my backyard light was on
Which is sensored
Sensor
Chet
Am I being robbed
sure now clu how i got it to 
when doing the german empire focus path, under the mitteleuropa section in the focus tree should I do "Carve up Czechoslovakia" or "Align Czechoslovakia"
asfajbsdgvblads
i hate how my railway gun decided to cross the ocean for A NAVAL INVASION and the one convoy it was on sunk
Chat is this witerwly fire
Expert ai = sweaty
are germans good or cooked
good
is this a good air force win/loss ratio?
your absolutely shitting on them
I put expert ai mod
Took me like 60hrs but I finally did it
Can kill Britain and ALL of Europe
i havent even invaded any of their countries yet
Like I could take Britain Poland France Italy Spain balkans Norway Sweden etc
But ussr?
No
i wish i could mass refit all these crap destroyers i got from other countries
why cant i take their navy?
I wish to see that screen
did the dlc u need for it change?
used to be the man the guns one
i also have the new japan dlc
u need by blood alone no? well the dlc that added new peacedeal
i thought man the guns
when japan dlc just came out
i was able to take navys
not the large river crossing debuff on a naval invasion
im p sure china will care
i always get mad even when 1 of my divisions gets encircled somehow
i dont think ai is me though π
its moded AI and im enjoy it so far rn, wish paradox could take notes from the workshop
why is your gamma so high in this screenshot
idk its not my gamma it just turns high whenever I screenshot
doesnt matter what app I use it always flashbangs me
is this a good trade?
i personally think thats why the workshop exists, to customize your experience, not everyone might agree tho π€·ββοΈ
I just wish vanilia AI was more competent π€·ββοΈ
not really? singleplayer is so beginners can learn and mess with the world as theyd like, if you want the game to be competent you can play multiplayer or get sheeps ai. i guess they could add more difficulties that actually make the ai smarter instead of giving them buffs, though.
im using sheeps AI rn
multiplayer games are off for me :D, no ones like to hear a high pitch noise (aka girl voice) >:(
I mean theres plenty of ways to make the game hard
having a few options for beginners is not bad
the way paradox handles the game being "hard" is giving you debuffs which is like why?
brother the game lives off of workshop
how would you do it? because the only 2 options i usually see are debuffs/buffs or the ai spams a billion divisions
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
doesnt seem random to me tbh
seems like they build what they need for their divisions/fleets
the AI of the game randomly builds civis/mils and randomly assigns mil factories
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
if you are gonna land in a plain, make a 30w and if you are gonna fight everywhere make a 15w?
so how is that any different than just allowing the ai to cheat?
that wil be your best template
the AI dosnt cheat, or get the equipment out of no where, they build it
I recommend you look up sheeps AI and you see what I mean
they don't get buffs to construction or production
they uh, were kinda garuenteeing the independance
i know its still like a 1:2 ratio but it feels bad
if you can replenish your loses its always worth it
i can replace the planes but the manpower is kinda eh
if you have issues with manpower always go knights of the air imo
-10%manpower, and 10% agility? sign me up
no clue what that is
the sub doctrine
ah i went stuff for my carriers
I think knights of the air and air dominances are the peak choices for UK
Knights of the Air is super scaling imo (someone correct me if i'm wrong) and Air dominances gives you better stats early on
i mean tbh besides the manpower i already have the agility you'd get from knights
but also 10% more speed too
Knights of the Air makes your aces give double buffs and also 10% agility for free and -10% manpower as well
WHICH APPARENTLY DOESNT DO ANYTHING
Maybe your design is giga bad?
its the meta design
Weird.
What up gang
Personally, I just use drop tanks
i dont have a range mio unfortunately
And I also use cannons, they are effective (Almost like blowing up your enemy works)
cannons really dumpster your agility though
I like knights personally
Also whatβs the deal with single engine?
cheaper
lower production cost
Im only decent at air, and I use double engine. Usually itβs kind of expensive, but enough to defeat AI at the least
I mean this beats the AI
idk how it would handle in MP
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
like you can make a pure Anti Air division
which shoots down 200 planes each day
My friend made a pile of guns on a large airframe, it wiped my whole Air Force.
Heβs on something, I have no idea how he does it
If your economy can handle it COUGH looks at america heavy fighters are the peak
Not to be like that guy or anything but why is your air so low?
Me personally, I only play minor nation
Did ya mix in some mills for infantry stuff?
I love the balkans
1k should be enough i think and i have 500 on africa and 300 in reserve
I play Romania and Hungary mostly, got into Poland recently. Spain is also great
i think 1.8k is decent not good but decent no?
Large airframes are generally expensive so I am assuming he shredded you because of you having comparatively low number of small ones?
Thats massive to me, honestly
1.8k fighters or overall?
1.8k fighters
Oh yeah that is decent (not to brag or to be like that guy but I do almost always get to 2k before war....then again from your SS your war was a bit early so applauds on that :D)
The opposite, he had a small force of those things, I had 1000+ of same year small aircraft
thanks β€οΈ
It was like 200 heavy or so
Hmmm interesting....I might mess around with that
Assuming he also rushed cannon 2's?
Heavy fighters are better than fighters just cause you can stack a lot of AD and Air Attack
Or like whatever the tech is called (basically stronger cannons)
Agility is kinda fake
Yeah, it was like 1941 or so
HV cannon?
No not heavy machinegunes
People just dont go for heavy fighters cause you cant affoard them but USA can
Btw do you have the save files?
Itβs large cannon maybe?
Prb
What do you guys use for tanks?
If yes you can see his template
I sometimes go for multi role heavy fighters as UK
Mid spgs with howitzer 2's and as much soft attack as possible for sp
(im playing as ottoman empire in tgw redux)
For mp it's the either med with heavies or heavy TDs with the second turret thing
I use medium tank destroyers with superstructure, drop heavy cannon on with maxed armor and as much piercing and heavy attack as physically possible
Not home so I can't show templates unfortunately
you make one tank that is super expensive (tons of armor and pen)
and you make a decent ish med tank (that is cheap)
and you play around those 2 in your division designer
Thatβs what I use mostly
What is that tank mio? π€
Whatever the Romanians have to start with
Oh thanks
I have no idea
Itβs fun, but no cores gained
I only play UK or Japan, I love navy
I love tanks, i crush as land bound nations
I love navy as well but Japan is bringing back PTSD from when my friend clapped me with china so I tend to avoid it xD
(I mostly play equastria at war tho) :hehe:
whaaaa how D:
Was that the my little pony mod?
Idk
yeah
I haven't played Japan since
its so peak :D
You sound just like my friend xD
He's been trying to get me to play it but I don't wanna
I play base mostly, but also Kaiserredux and old world blues (fallout)
I think youi should its a really good overhaul mod
I am afraid mods will break my game somehow
Because I am a dumbass so I don't wanna get anything as of yet
Mods arenβt that harmful unless you add two full overhauls
I'd rather explore everything base has then explore mods
Have you played Hungary?
Cuz I only got 250 hours and I have a long way to go before finishing every nation with a focus tree
Yeah like one inf game
What path did you try?
It was the game where I learned how special forces work lol
Iβm tweaking Iβm tweaking Iβm tweaking WHY WONT THEY IOIN
Fascist one*
JOIN THE WSR
IM TWEAKING
What's going on?
π₯°
They are tweaking
I love this game
I have like 1500 hours now, and im only the second best player I know
I deleted all the saves I had on that bro
That run was just bad for my mental broth
Helar
A friend of mine has like 300 more hours and absolutely crushes me
Same about 2nd best but I only got 250hrs lol
Health
Oh shii
What matchup are y'all playing?
Soviets Vs Germany?
Einstein is that you?
I finally stayed alive as Poland, I've been trying to do this for forever.
you can usually use this as your armored recon tank (gives tons of free break through to your pushing infantry)
Germany (Kaiser) Vs France (Napoleon) I lost as France, so itβs not all bad
Try historic Germany Vs historic Onions and you should win π
If you don't wanna do the full game you can Def do a fun game of volunteers 1v1 in Spain and China
That reliability is frying me
also fyi if your division is not in attrition, it dosn't come into factor
Reliability only works when you're attritioning no?
what.
you didnt know that?
nobody told me this
if you arent suffering from attrition it doesn't come into effect
Iβve been maxing it out this whole time for literally nothing
Isn't second radio tech in 1938 or am I tweaking?
as japan you dont care about it
I can just have infinite armor with little penalty
you fight in china you dont go tanks
What about flame tanks?
it still affects all divs
Yeah thats fair
I didn't look at country lol
That could be fun though
That any good? Iβve never used them
Day 1 mills and spam tanks with navs
the supply says no
Literally no supply in china
But my dumbness says yes π€£
Genuine question....is that the turret with 4 soft attack or the other one?
uhhhhh yeah cool 2% extra cordination for what a 150 day research? do you know what that stat does even?
its the small cannon one (it gives you break through)
Makes it so you target the highest in line div? Idk how to explain it lol
Ain't it too expensive to justify using it for inf? (Not trying to say your template is trash but I am just wondering why it's there in the first place)
Considering how expensive it is
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)
Shiii I didn't know that ngl....sounds way too important to not get talked about that often on YouTube
I learned that the hard way
Played against a friend who did inf spam Russia with air and the mofo did 50 org in the first hour of battle π
you need the breakthrough to be higher than enemy atk
breakthrough is defense on the offense
tho against china too much breakthrough is kinda useless
oh right mb
their divisions have no atk
oh no i didnt mean that for uhh japan, i was showing it to some one else
oh
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
yeah lol its enough to battleplan china
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

this video explains it
Will give it a watch, thanks π but before that I just gotta make sure. Does it cover the new doctrines?
boo me but as japan this are my pushing infantry
some tips for invade uk?
and than i cover the whole front with this
nope, it's pretty old, buy line artillery still isn't good with the new doctrines
if you go fire cord its justifiable
but i prefer field engineering me self :> or the SPG one
Sadge
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 π
artillery just isnt efficient
its only really good as support artillery because that gives good bonuses
well it is
because it uses 3 width
Yeah I was kinda disappointed when I realised I had only more artillery tech upgrade before maxing that out but it was still fun using field hospitals for the first time lol
guys how i make a good naval invasion to britain as germany i stole the italian navy and then i sucesful landed in britai but the heavly pushed me back i also had air supremacy, its too hard invae uk some tips for time or just in general?
you can pair it with AA or AT and make it a 4w
how do u even make a 15 w division
Wouldn't that defeat the purpose of having line artillery just soft attack spam?
@languid patrol
Assuming one uneven width template with some even ones
ty
Why is it motorized artillery though? I just now noticed
Ok but won't the lack of fuel penalty drag down the entire division?
son...
In places with bad supply
I mean you do seem like a smart person
i am dif not smart
Could just be logi strikes or some bs like that that's why I am asking
And to be honest I always thought of special forces divisions were supposed to be big
In your case it's just china then island hop into High Castle?
Sounds interesting but I definitely am not putting myself through the horror of playing that nation ever again lol
you also can make your carrier air fleets vet 5 in china for later use against allies (a mp tip)
Are carriers the meta navy ?
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
there is a reason in multi games people stack tons of AA on their battleships
planes are scary
specially vet 5 ones
Ik
They carry my ass when going against the royal navy with my LC and DD spam lol
I am weird-ling tho
I like capital ships too much
I remember playing armored raiders for a while ( fast BBs convoy raiding)
I mean capitals look neet and all but importing chromium before howitzer 2's is a big no no for me
if you germany
rush cruiser subs
or sub 3s
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?
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
cruiser subs are meta
thats all i know π€·ββοΈ
(I'm not a meta player btw)
people would hate me on major nations xD
How come?
Besides cruiser sub spam?
I do dumb shit or what ever i like
28w infantry is meta? no thank you i find that boring
It is? Ain't that a little expensive
Oh wait nvm I just realised it could be offensive one
I still stick to my 18w support artillery and shovels guys
yeah 28w is the infantry that pushes
They never betray me
defensive ones are anything between 14 to 21
because it hits a sweet spot between accessibility and low sub visibility
most common is 18w
Oh yeah ig
there is also 1 special project that onlly goes on cruiser sub
3 year stalemate
Even with USA I didn't get fleet subs before 1940 (I may have done something before that)
makes them invis
Anechoic tiles?
ye
Cant outproduce uk and usa on air like they just keep spamming out airplanes
there is 1 stupid strat that i used to do which you can do
Cuz snorkels look good to me as well
Help
Im on iron man and i dont want to reset
make a pure AA div, start a battle with your normal infantry over red air
I got nukes but cant do anything with them
its not meta
ctrl click your pure AA div into battle
meta is 36w
200 planes go bye on each tick
I have total army dominance on Africa and Europe
Isn't that for tanks only?
Just cant cross that blasted channel
Oh
have you tried landing on the north?
My navy has ceased to exist
Sunk
All my 7 carriers
And 15 battleships
im p sure you can still parachute from norway into UK
By 4K naval bombers
They have 10K fighters on uk
Uk ai has 100 factories on air
Usa ai has 200
scotland tile has no planes up i assure you
welp you are softlocked i think
let the AI land on france i think
bro my navy got destroyed cuz it went 2 seconds in the english channel
Have you conquered Russia?
eFg6b7NH
No
Oh
Didnt even try
go kill russia than
Well you could try to and then go around the world but that would take till 1950 atleast
I was but I had to rescue italy ai 5 times
with russian factories you out produce
Almost lost Africa
Like cap Russia and then go to Canada and USA and then starve Britain with convoy raiding
Let me send screenshot on how it is
oh right i forgor its 36w
it becomes stale so fast tho, every game
That and the AA trick Anya told you will widow down the ai air for sure
And you'd be able to invade
this is the territory
has been like this for 3 in game years
i told you, your options
so i let them land
but most likely ill have to restart cuz the 2K divisions are making my laptop lag
@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
Oh yeah I know about the reliability stuff
But I thought the mark was 80% lol
multiplayer duo game hongari + turkey
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
you still lose stuff at 100% reliability
if you are in attrition
So this shit really is useless then huh
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
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
dang, i missed that battle
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?
it has been reworked, you need to set your fleet to a naval base
Thanks
chat how good are these thingies?
they are very strong
but the bottle neck is 10 div
@maiden owlNo modern day stuff please
you just gonna micro more ig
@ripe slate okey...
i am getting the feeling germany is cooked
this is so annoying
i cant push because only one of my 36w divs can fight in these mountains
:D
and also colombia wont let my cas do anything because they NEEDED to fill their airports with planes they're not using
Anyone know how to fix the invisible frontlines?
Just make Russia pull an Italy and switch sides to help Germany like in the 7 years war
Why isn't it possible to use my navy to have Volunteers naval invade?
i have full naval dominance off the coast of sweden, and I cant get my volunteers to naval invade Gothenland
Did you get all of your Romanian cores btw?
mountains moment
lmao no political power gain be like
oh some free boats of the german navy, joink
Not very good, unless you just don't have the range to reach an area somehow
cool
germany got cooked hard btw
worth it
how do i defend this?
goodbye little brazilian fleet
how "democratic" of germany
thunder dragon empire
only took modern aircraft and motherships but i finally did it
Gonna try to get Holy Roman and a Empire
217 tanks converted per day
I love Bulgarian voicing so much
Why do the Balkans have like no steel
Balkan Federation is so fun
Bulgarian focus tree is underrated
the british arent even navy invading anything to help bro
im getting absolutely destroyed
thats cool ^^
tanks and planes in 1021?
its a mod
Is there anymod to change the names of other countrys?
i dif need a bigger SSD
wow that is some terrible buffs
its probably more negative than positive atp
actually didn't see the breakthrough. maybe its fine then ig?
When you have that
the de-buffs
practically mean nothing
since when did they have a bb
first encirclement in this war
a lot of them...
so my blitzkrieg didn't work, and for once ion even know why
on regular difficulty no buffed AI, the belgians had a wall strong enough to stop my army by march of 1939
the south america DLC added the ability for Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Peru, and I believe Bolivia to develop navies at a devent pace
since the south america DLC
Rate my encirclment
Hey haafr how you feeling
How
hi
Like, I had good infantry, decent tanks that were well equipped, but I js couldnt push and I had to end the run because I got pushed to the Rhine by the french in Belgium, even though they shouldn't have been able to
Well mostly because by 1950 the AI has like 2000 divisions
Ooooh
Wait are you doing world conquest?
my man it looks like your country is about to be under new management
idt u die if u give ur capital, just def the river line
im still holding on
the us finally joined the war
GIVE EM HELL! NSNR
current frontline here
Why are yoy fighting the berlin-rome Axis,
Or we'll, wtvr that favtion is, bc it isnt nazi and pasta
im fighting mitteleuropa and it has japan, china and germany and some other countries in it.
i spammed out like 100 shit infantry divisions to hold
when the czechs join the war on either side its gg
might even be ww1 for all i know about it
yeah
interesting
get troops out and cover the front like asap
Maybe not
It'd be hard but as long as they join him, he could possibly win
the czechs do have a wargoal on the germans
they would probably join the allies
wait nvm the other way around
if they declare its gg
If possible, try get a few truck divs out, that way you could push to Berlin and screw the germans
Plus the diversion would force less pressure on you, meaning you could secure the sea
the germans are in the japanese faction
and china died
Fair, wouldnt Czechs cause allies to fight germany tho?
if they aint at war already
judging by poland falling ye they are at war
Achievement Prussia of the Balkans
Oh. wait
That screenshot was from my WC as Luxembourg
the italians are done for
if you integrate commie volkskommissariats will they be cores or nah
they keep ramming into my lines
1944 and Czechs still exist?
Me thinks it non historical
