[brittle cypress]

Lock in

america gots hands

[safe wing]

Whats wrong with this image?

[fair horizon]

no sigma of iron

[meager nest]

.

also should i puppet or annex austria

[west owl]

Finally figured out this game. Now Germany and me own Soviet Union. Imma pimp up my army then take France and US

[fickle thicket]

cores

[fickle thicket]

puppet then annex

[untold glade]

What are the chances of the ussr to declare on me as Germany if I take too long to go to war with them?

It is 1941 almost 1942 and I haven’t declare on them

[fickle thicket]

when the ai gets a wild hair up their ass

[untold glade]

Currently fighting the uk

[untold glade]

Interesting

So purely chance

[fickle thicket]

yes

[west owl]

Seems like the world will fight at some point regardless of what u do

[fickle thicket]

they dont get a wargoal via focuses

[untold glade]

Kk I’ll probably have 20 divs in a fallback line

[shy bloom]

https://tenor.com/view/another-easy-steal-steal-gif-gif-steal-gif-gets-stolem-gif-7935542554022949277

[fickle thicket]

be better to just not put troops on the border

focus purely on the allies

[untold glade]

Ohh kk

[fickle thicket]

are u building up a fleet?

[untold glade]

Currently trying to get navel control of the channel

[untold glade]

Uhhh

Kinda

I kept my main fleet the whole game

And I have subs being built

I have a lot of fighters and navs tho

[fickle thicket]

arguably sacrifice the german navy so u can get a sealion going

if that fails do airlion

[untold glade]

Wym?

Like the nation focus?

Don’t I need London

[fickle thicket]

put the navy on patrol on the north sea

and when u get supremacy launch an invasion near hull

ur navy will die facing the royal navy but u can steal both the french and british fleet in the peacedeal

[untold glade]

Ohh kk

[fickle thicket]

if u got the dlc

[azure walrus]

unfortunately could not get a paratroop operation in time before the french guarantee dropped

[fickle thicket]

and also put subs on patrol in the danish straits

[untold glade]

I got 8k fighters and like 2k cas and like 1.5k navs

[fickle thicket]

rip

[untold glade]

So I don’t do convoy raiding with the subs

[fickle thicket]

no do patrol

[untold glade]

Ohh kk

[fickle thicket]

if sealion fails paradrop near a port

[azure walrus]

my problem was that i had not enough transports

to make a full wing

[untold glade]

Kk I’ll start making some para divisions

[azure walrus]

so i should js assign a massiv # of mills to transports right

[fickle thicket]

shouldve been building since the beginning

[fickle thicket]

if sealion fails

cuz the americans are at this point in the war

so its gonna be a pain to get to america

[untold glade]

They in already

💀

[fickle thicket]

welp

[untold glade]

I took a bit taking France

I had a fuel problem

Fixed the fuel problem tho

[fickle thicket]

either sealion and hold the uk while u kill the soviets and invade the west coast or invade the east coast

[untold glade]

Ahh kk

I’ll try sealion

Since that is what I was currently trying

[fickle thicket]

if sealion fails go in on the russians and invade the west coast

then kill the uk

[untold glade]

Kk

[dusky burrow]

this is rough

[untold glade]

Thx

[azure walrus]

should I wait for the cs guarantee to drop

[untold glade]

https://tenor.com/view/dancing-cat-dance-cat-cat-meme-chinese-cat-gif-976063674860120100

[dusky burrow]

I mean once you take out the russians you should be able to spam enough planes to take out the UK

[fair horizon]

i love the sound helicopter divisions make

[fickle thicket]

go in

[dusky burrow]

Your fundamental limitation is oil

[azure walrus]

alr

[fickle thicket]

what eco did u do

[dusky burrow]

nice

[untold glade]

Left side

[dusky burrow]

of course that's only unlocked by mods i'm assuming

[untold glade]

Supposedly it was easy for new people

[fickle thicket]

well that defeats the point of invading russia

[azure walrus]

these bums accepted 🥀

[fickle thicket]

cuz u dont have mefo

[azure walrus]

they have czechoslovakia and romania behind them bro

whyd they surrender

[fickle thicket]

lol

[azure walrus]

i didnt even take dalmatia

i havent even annexed albania yet

😭

[fickle thicket]

annex yugo

[dusky burrow]

they have like 5 mefo decisions

[fickle thicket]

but he went left side

[azure walrus]

theyre gonna turn into a colony when i flip nonaligned

so should i rush them now

or then

[fickle thicket]

wait til then then

or just annex em

[dusky burrow]

oh

[fickle thicket]

so other than resources there aint no point

and factories

[dusky burrow]

Fair

[trim lotus]

In a war with Russia. My submarines feast on Stalin's convoys. And yet, I can only think, "all he'd need to do is set a couple sea zones to avoid, and his convoys would be perfectly safe going to Vladivostok instead."

[fickle thicket]

the americans are in the war so if the east coast invasion fails might as well invade the west coast

but that would involve killing the soviets

[dusky burrow]

True

[fickle thicket]

and hes a new player so hed be slogged down in russia

[dusky burrow]

The west coast is such bad terrain to push through though

[fickle thicket]

u gotta cross the rockies anyways

[dusky burrow]

i wonder what their templates are like

[dusky burrow]

or if you have la resistance you run collabs

[fickle thicket]

or that

[dusky burrow]

or without, you just naval invade both sides

[fickle thicket]

but chances are he got no dlcs

he dont got a big fleet only subs and base german fleet

[dusky burrow]

fair

[fickle thicket]

so its a pain in the ass either way

[night field]

is this division good enough for holding (i have 0 support equipment)

[fickle thicket]

go up to 18w

[dusky burrow]

add aa

air i assume is your biggest issue

[azure walrus]

i could try and justify on romania

but they could be guaranteed by britain instead

could they? idk

[night field]

i got no AA in production

[fickle thicket]

yea cuz they democratic

[fickle thicket]

add arty

[dusky burrow]

those hands are made of weak bones, you should be able to hold Florida forever

[azure walrus]

wait doesnt the fact that theyre guaranteed by a major already make it much less likely for them to be guaranteed by another

[trim lotus]

Then, unless you know you won't face any aircraft, get AA in production.

[fickle thicket]

idk how that works

[fair horizon]

like fist fighting a brick wall

[fickle thicket]

this is disaster save worthy

[trim lotus]

Pure infantry is quite vulnerable to getting CAS bombed into oblivion (thus support AA), and is a bit short on punch (thus support arty). Engineering companies are a bit expensive, but do improve max entrenchment plus substantial defensive bonuses on key terrain types.

[upbeat burrow]

The Guangxi Clique has refused reintegration, how can I make them a subject?

[fickle thicket]

but hes got no support equipment

so its less effective

[dusky burrow]

engineering companies increase the cost of the division more than they increase the stats, so that's why we don't recommend them here

[trim lotus]

In the vast majority of cases, you are better off with fewer infantry divisions actually equipped with support AA+arty (preferably also engy) than just feeding raw infantry battalions into a meatgrinder.

[trim lotus]

Thus why I am softer on recommending the engineering company. If you're IPC-limited but can throw manpower at your problems, going without can be worthwhile.

(And, regardless of which support companies to include, I'm pretty sure 18W is better than 16W, so throw in that ninth infantry battalion)

[green magnet]

is this bad?

[night field]

ive got some guns left currently so i can go to 18w

[fair horizon]

why do my allies feel the need to shove their planes IN AN AIRPORT I NEED TO USE

[night field]

but they took most of my forts on the river line sadly

[dusky burrow]

Not that bad

[trim lotus]

It's basically Hitler's militaristic Ponzi scheme: borrow tons of money, then when the debtors start asking too many questions, invade them.

I think the standard method is to use a decision to keep deferring the MEFO bills until you're ready to do Hitler things. The alternative is "prioritize economic recovery", which kinda crashes your economy for a bit.

[night field]

they always do that

[fair horizon]

WHY DOES BRITISH IRAQ WHICH ISNT EVEN ACTIVE IN THE WAR USING 300 SPACE OF MY AIRBASE

like why

[dusky burrow]

Do all of your decisions and don't make it reach 100%

and rush down Autarky if you can

[green magnet]

thing is though

I have no idea what im doing atm

[dusky burrow]

Also don't forget to rush some countries down

[green magnet]

I'm almost done focusing the Sudeten

[dusky burrow]

That should automatically decrease the consumer goods %

[eternal aspen]

If you haven't, do the focus under Autarky

[dusky burrow]

Have you instituted price controls?

[azure walrus]

yall think france gets guaranteed by the uk if i justify on them(I am italy)

[eternal aspen]

It gives you decisions to reduce consumer goods

[green magnet]

i decided to just flow it out bc I do not have the time for a 1 hour germany tut

[dusky burrow]

Justify on Syria

[green magnet]

yes

[dusky burrow]

But yeah they will eventually join allies

[azure walrus]

not if im quick enough right?

[dusky burrow]

I see, so you've done your decisions I assume

[dusky burrow]

What time is it? You need 240 days to do so

[eternal aspen]

Unless the allies dont guarantee them

[eternal aspen]

And you arent at war with them, you should be capable of capping them before, but not limely

[dusky burrow]

But they will join Allies via focus

So

Yeah that's too late

[azure walrus]

oof

[upbeat burrow]

Sooo... they're the only warlord I haven't puppeted, I did preemptive strike, but I can't remove him from the faction, how do I solve this conondrum?

[azure walrus]

when does the french guarantee drop

[rapid furnace]

is it possible to do tno multiplayer

[terse skiff]

easiest way is to just invade turkey

[azure walrus]

im italy btw

[terse skiff]

romania guarantees turkey so you can attack romania by attacking turkey

you can still justify on turkey, right?

[azure walrus]

yeah

only 140 days too

but the 8% wt increase

america has killed 3 million people slamming into me in the past 5 months

moar breakthrough

Reliability is a fake stat

[safe wing]

Did it

[azure walrus]

nice

now eu right

[timber garden]

hey seriously question rn

or point

it seems like my breakthrough tanks are idiotic cause from how I know breakthrough works it negates damage to your own tanks while attacking however i'm probably loosing more or an equal amount due to 44% reliability

[safe wing]

Yes

[timber garden]

but

funny breakthrough stat so

[opal nymph]

Yooo, another Roman republic enjoyer

[timber garden]

interesting

so I loose about 150 heavy tanks per day and i make about 23

[opal nymph]

Got to reduce that attrition rate

[terse skiff]

You can get around 40 at max efficiency, what is your design?

[stark rover]

italy and germany

or russia and cn

[night field]

oh you have got to be kidding me

the austrians declared on france

peak design

[opal nymph]

Sir, the ic cost

Why is it hidden

[timber garden]

im chill

[opal nymph]

Eh, could be worse

But that reliability

[timber garden]

I must max armor now

[opal nymph]

Historical levels probably

[timber garden]

we need less reliability

[opal nymph]

Apparently just moving now causes an attrition check

[timber garden]

I've fixed it

I need to do a playthrough where I rush jets and just make this with motorized

vanilla ai makes scout planes now????

[dusky burrow]

Yeah I find you lose quite a lot from reliability

[opal nymph]

Do a playthrough with armored cars

[wary sparrow]

ngl democratic germany is fun

[night field]

can this shit get any worse?

the czechs randomly declared on me

just when i was about to win the greeks and czechs joined the german faction

[jaunty ore]

ANNEX ALLL

[atomic grove]

blue romania?

[night field]

commie austria started a civil war

[atomic grove]

oh

[night field]

which sparked this whole conflict to begin with

and the turks just attack iran which is allied nation too

what did i do to deserve this bro

[safe wing]

You can join the Axis as Monarchist Italy before you flip Monarchist

[dusky burrow]

yeah it has a lot of chromium

annex everything and don't even look at bulgaria just kill them if they get upset

[kind vale]

8 artillery battalions do well in Spain

[wary sparrow]

least op german path

puppet all of eastern europe for just some pp

[kind vale]

You did it in the least op way

[wary sparrow]

ikr

[kind vale]

Monarchy germany is amazing

Just form hre

[wary sparrow]

yes

well

after doing that several times

its gets boring

so i like did a democratic path

its pretty fun

now you do run out of things to do eventually cause your democratic

but i hate long games anyways so

basically you get your colonies back, undo versailles (besides alsace), form mitteleuropa with eastern europe, and invade once russia attacks estonia.

after you can integrate all the nations in your faction, invade italy, and beat japan

overall 8/10 path

fun, simple and satisfying

[kind vale]

Why is the Spanish civil war such a pain

[wary sparrow]

cause of the state modifiers on the provicnes

[kind vale]

😔

[wary sparrow]

unplanned offensives can go die

[safe wing]

How about Democratic Monarchist Italy

[wary sparrow]

havent tried yet

[kind vale]

I just want my Spanish puppet

[safe wing]

I formed the Roman Empire

I did this by doing a trick by joining the Axis when still Fascist

they didn't kick me out when I switched to non aligned and Monarchist

also you get no Civil wars

[wary sparrow]

tbh most of my germany games end by like 1942-43

its just a very easy country

its my second comfort country

[night field]

ive been doing this disaster of a run for 10 hours now

[wary sparrow]

reminds me of my suffering of playing the congo for 7 hours yesterday

at least hungary is good tho

fighting in africa makes me want to explode

[night field]

i was about to win when the austrians declared on france and the czechs, turks and greeks declared on allied nations

[wary sparrow]

austrians always start world wars

its a canon event

[night field]

and the japs and chinese are in the german faction too

and the soviets are dead

[wary sparrow]

how'd soviets die

[night field]

japan invaded them and the germans invaded later

[kind vale]

How can I help the Spanish in the civil war as the soviet union without failing miserably

[terse skiff]

by using air and creating encirclements

[kind vale]

I tried that

[terse skiff]

start at cordoba, then cut off the south from salamenca

[kind vale]

6 divisions is not enough

[terse skiff]

then you're pretty much set

it is

6 mountaineers/tanks + 200 tacs should be enough

you might need to pin enemy down

the good news is due to unplanned offensive you barely lose org too so you can pin enemies forever

[kind vale]

I keep doing the north

[terse skiff]

you should do the south

shorten the line so when anarchists rise, republican spain has enough troops to hold the line

[kind vale]

Alright

[shut cedar]

Hi

[kind vale]

So just the base mountaineers the ussr starts with?

[shut cedar]

Can someone teach me how to play HOI4?

[terse skiff]

yeah or leave 6 tank divisions

if you want to train a panzer + cav leader general, there are general grinding guides online that teach you how to get both panzer and cav leader

[kind vale]

Nah I just want spain to become my puppet its all im after

[terse skiff]

Spain takes puppet focuses after they take the oppose ussr focus

They will almost 100% revolt

Much better to let them be independent and then conquer them again

[night field]

this front is garbage

[digital aurora]

In theory as the soviets how fast could i blitz the germans after they delcare war in 1941?

[fickle thicket]

what ive seen as fast as like 6 months

[digital aurora]

Cuz the main strat i usually use is build forts along the Dniper and Daugava rivers and then just wait a couple of years while they axis accumulate losses

I might try and make a "swiss cheese" defenese where i make lots of defensive lines following railroads so bascially if they breach one they end up in a low supply pocket

[abstract crest]

I'm playing on elite difficulty, do I have a chance to come back? They ran out of supplies, but the AI buffs will probably bring them back into the action.

What should I do while he stops attacking?

[shut cedar]

i dont even own this game

i wish

[abstract crest]

By the way, avoid the purge of the generals

[shut cedar]

give me the game and i may help you bro

[digital aurora]

Your holding on a majority of the front, if you can keep that up you could maybe kill enough of their MP to just cripple them

[abstract crest]

Sure, but I would first need direct access to the money you have in the bank.

[shut cedar]

you would get nothing

cuz i dont have lol

[digital aurora]

Ill send you a cheque (i can't even get those in my country anymore)

[abstract crest]

In Elite, are there no changes to MP acquisition?

Germany has double my divisions

[digital aurora]

Yeah but from countless assaults their manpower will slowly go down

And from casualties their mobilization speed will slow down

due to warsupport losses

It a few years cause I’m dumb

[untold glade]

Cause I’m dumb

[fickle thicket]

all u needed to do was sacrifice the high seas fleet

[untold glade]

I spent a year trying to figure out how to navel invade

[fickle thicket]

how much did u lose

[untold glade]

Like 40 subs

The fleet is good

Damage but good

[fickle thicket]

so u built a fleet

[untold glade]

Just the starting stuff

I have only been building subs

[fickle thicket]

sub 3s?

[untold glade]

Uhh

I think some yeah I think so

[fickle thicket]

lemme see design

[untold glade]

I logged off I got tired

[fickle thicket]

k

[untold glade]

I’ll dm it tomorrow

[fickle thicket]

nah dont

[untold glade]

I was trying to navel invade but it wouldn’t let me cause they were trying to cross though the channel

So I had to build a new navel base

And then it work

[wispy ginkgo]

Honestly in a "historical" Germany game if you early justify on Czechoslovakia you can get an ez war with France and cap them early, then do the same to UK. After that, conquering the USA and Soviet Union is really easy as long as you don't let them build up

[long pendant]

made that mistake a couple times

[kind vale]

Freedom

[long pendant]

lol

[wispy ginkgo]

That's how I've done Germany world conquests really easily

[ebon latch]

Feel like you’ve been on the steam workshop before

[long pendant]

at least our country is still the USA and not Reichkommissariat Nordamerika or smth

[ebon latch]

I’ve seen you

[ebon latch]

Lmao so true

[wispy ginkgo]

You would be correct, I made the USA, UK, and Germany reworks

[ebon latch]

oooo me like

[kind vale]

Wow now that I can do things nationalist spain is really weak

[cedar lance]

hey yalls there are some mods that readds the super heavy tanks and adds super heavy artillery and land cruisers as NEW combat battalions

[long pendant]

the only mod i have on me rn is the ceasefire mod (might have gotten a few sneaky states using that)

[ebon latch]

Not that I know of

[cedar lance]

alr

[kind vale]

Maybe cold war special projects or the ultimate tech tree

[long pendant]

also can someone help be solve ts

0 manpower is gonna cook me

[kind vale]

What garrison template you using?

[long pendant]

yeah was about to say that

uh

so like

[wispy ginkgo]

Honestly I've never really used Super Heavy Tanks or land cruisers much, bit too much for little gain

[kind vale]

Because resistance shouldn't be that high

[long pendant]

its the infantry division

[cedar lance]

alr

[long pendant]

i didnt know how to make better garrison divisions

[wispy ginkgo]

2x3 cavalry and MP does the trick

[kind vale]

Yeah

[wispy ginkgo]

I usually use Secret Police for the law

[kind vale]

While at war id use forced labor

[long pendant]

also is there a max amount of templates

[wispy ginkgo]

Unless you have low resistance, then use Local Police Force or Civilian Oversight

[kind vale]

Or harsh quotas

[cedar lance]

i do wanna make the the super heavy artillery tank howitzer and land cruisers compatible with the latest version of hoi4

[kind vale]

Those are in the game.

[wispy ginkgo]

Honestly for Historical Germany the only country worth directly occupying imo is Denmark cuz they got the stupid war of independence thing if you got AAT

Otherwise I install puppets or RKs

[long pendant]

i alr did

[untold glade]

I thought 1 cav and martial law was best

[wispy ginkgo]

Well you also got Switzerland and France, and those seem to be the biggest problem... but then again you should hold Paris because you need to control it to form Greater German Reich

[kind vale]

God no

[untold glade]

Damn

💀

I been playing wrong then

😂

[long pendant]

hmm fair

[kind vale]

A puppet can have it and you can form greater reich

[long pendant]

but i cant even form the GGR because i dont have moscow

[wispy ginkgo]

You could be right, but last I can remember it has to be directly controlled

[cedar lance]

@wispy ginkgo i do like using new units in hoi4

[kind vale]

Nah as a german main a puppet can have it

[wispy ginkgo]

cool

[long pendant]

this is my focus tree for navy btw

[kind vale]

Im surprised spain hasn't lost much land to the nationalists

[kind vale]

Should start with the right path and go down the one for cruisers

[long pendant]

oh i can do it i just need to go down expand kriegsmarine and HS fleet

[kind vale]

Yeah I know

But its better to start with the right
