Example
Lmao I am so bad at thos game I can't even make operation Zeeleeuw work
Dang
Britain just has such good defence on ports
u need good units and air superiority
As belgium its not that easy
Paras and CAS will take the ports
Nevermind lol
if all u got is infantry my tip is to land in scotland
theres two mountain tiles and a river adjacent forest tile you can entrench on
I have 500 fighters and 400 transport planes and 100 bombers and 14 paratroopers divs but thats still not enough
theyll destroy both yours and their own army on it
if ur fighting alongside germany youll also end up with like half peace score too if they already took france and poland
That's not enough
It's all I can produce
You need way more cas and fighters for air superiority against the allies
It's 1941
medium flames or lights?
Medium
Well I'm not exactly sure
Because getting naval supremacy as Belgium would suck
im assuming he has more territory maybe the dutch fleet
America just joined the war and Italy lost africa so defeating Britain is just one of the only things that can kinda save us
can u show a screenshot of the world
I have about 100 normal 90 soft attack infantry divs a few bycicles and the paratroopers so If I actually land in England its game over for the English probably but getting there is the hardest part
π I see
Bit cooked
those units prob arent gonna cut it man
500 fighters probably isn't getting enough air superiority for a paratroop
And definitely not enough cas to take the ports
theyll have a lot of units on the island at this point u need good units
Well they are pretty nice with support equipment and artillery so it will at least tie down the brits until the Germans can help
how many factories u got
130
are u making any tanks
50 of which are civs
No I just managed to get out of gun deficitπ
Now no
It was about a few months ago I got out of deficit from the French wars
I will probably reset it thats true
if u made some mountaineers with a couple high armor spg battalions britain would be toast as soon as you hopped on the island with them
He can't
He has I'm assuming no navy
of course not now
He has no air force
Small one
Not nearly enough to take a port
The closest I ever got with 6 paratroopers was 79 red bubble
paratroopers just arent good unless ur cheesing france
paratroopers are good for this exact reason
The only reason I dont use the rest of my 14 divs is that idk why it shows that I need 4 more planes
Yes
paratroopers work on japan as china though
No way in hell he's beating the royal navy
Split your divs?
he could just take frances fleet on his next run
Yeah that's why I suggested to reset
Having Frances industry would help obviously
does he not have france occupied
Hmm play HoI4 and rage after a solid 3 hour gameplay or read some history
That is a good question
π§©
Half of france
130 factories probably not a lot
Only 3 of Frances states are my cores
Full France occupation be should have like 250+
I forgot what cores Belgium gets
I've played as them once
Mostly North alsace Lorraine and straight up to the English channels states
belgiums super fun
Really? I find that the war usually ends like instantly if you can stop the Germans
Like 1940
It cores a lot for its size but it is hard to do anything more than france and the other benelux countries
Try Brazil
Infinite cores
Don't have dlc
well i did all of the achievements for it and most of the paths
cant remember if i did a world conquest or not
Ah aight
been getting some of these annoying ones
jsut finished an anoyying one
can you also do this with poland?
not that i know of
howe is that annoying isnt that a russian one
they do have Anastasia romanov
yea but right after you finish a civil war you get attacked by germany
could go ahis
but ur russia you can just do whatever you want
idk
does anybody ever even do navy/air portions of focus trres
Wtf happened here ππ
It's in the same game btw
Why 2 German Reich, and who is this black H1tler?????
i think its just the one
One is your puppet
Burkina Faso lmaooooo
europe has been consolidated, you know what time it is
brps using riechksommisraits the larps unreal π π π π π
i like my puppet states
rate my tank
i wait for the compliance to build up then release the collab government
sonic/10
Not enough armor
hello yalls
π
Breaks down in the factory
Literally breaks down before leaving the production line
bro did operation sea lion before he betrayed russia
wtf is the enemy gonna do against this bro
10 fully equiped divs of this and u capitulate any country in a month
hello yalls
bro breaks at the sight of a single enemy soldier
a snowball would make it explode
Fascinating...
is that kr?
Yes
in kx you sadly cant choose like that
This is the Musterkolonie mod, and that popup is supposed to show at the start of the game
ohhhh
you can
you just need to put the gamerule of mittelafrika's fate to Collapse
i swear that shit never works
doesnt matter what i put in there its still random
worked for me π
bruh it collapses for me like every time
Medieval II Byzantine Jumpscare
moments before desaster ah screenshot
Turks and Venice have been destroyed
How
"tell me you never shower your entire life without telling me you never shower your entire life"
I couldn't get my light tanks to be that fast
Does Germany get extra buffs? I was playing UK when I tried this
dont worry
when next game
holy shi the range
not even amerikabomber btw
just regyular advanced large airframe
Is hebei chahar even playable on historical
It is directly owned by Japan
So its basically the new hardest nation
Yes
That Chinese warlord
Yes
Yeah, that doesn't even have anything special for it
The one that capitulates in seconds
You theoretically can hold out
Since I swear the AI will train their army right before Japan declares
You join the United Front
Ans you hold out just long enough for them to flood in
Im going to try it
I always research 1936 guns as my first research as any Chinese country
If its even possible
So you get much needed stats
Im gonna hold the rivers
huh?!
W peace deal?
Why did you leave them alive π
cause its moree fun that way
How
if i somehow lose to d-day they can get their revegence
and then its more fun
it'll be like an endsieg scenerio
They wont declare
They literally wont
The soviet ai will just sit there for awhile doing nothing
If you want that just use toolpack or tag swap to them with the game paused to make them justify on you
aight
i left them alive cause i wanted thousand week reich borders
thats naother reason
if you do tag switch make sure the game is paused
Or else the german ai will ruin all of you production and division organization
mkay
Why is it so much harder to Anschluss now ;-;
or y'know
just declare on them lmao
holdout is impossible
literally isn't? you can do anchluss by middle of 36
I legit forgot about this, might be really dumb π
My brain might be really fried right now
common symptom of playing hoi4
Nuh
Truth nuke
what do you mean nuh its literally possible lol
just spam 2w units
its very easy
Lies
it should be possible as third focus even
all i do in hoi4 is play germany, beaat the USSR nd france then leave cause i dk how to capitulate the UK or the USA
you will have to learn for the UK a scary thing called the navy
i dontn even know how to use air let alone navy
road to 56 is so goated i didnt know this would happen if i won agaisnt the USSR
stalin died
Road to 56 Palestine best
Air is easy
Bruhhhhh I hate the Allies
First of all Austria refused Anschluss
Now Czechoslovakia joined the allies
And I gotta invade them because munich conference failed
d-day in st petersburg wth
Has someone Tipps how to get the DLCs without paying with 2 kidneys?
Waiting for a sale to pay 1 kidney
good idea japan
the soviets are down to less then 60 divs-
sick?
what am i supposed to do bro
they're genuinely sliming my puppets
turkey is getting slimed too
Has someone Tipps how to get the DLCs without paying a kidney?
Wait for an even better sale to pay half of one
HAS SOMEONE TIPPS HOW TO GET THE DLCs WITHOUT PAYING WITH ORGANS?
By getting a job and paying with money
Thats the only tip one can give here
Money = having dlcs
But I play HoI4 I dont have time for jobs
piracy
A rule has been broken
its illegal
Rule 6 has been broken
ok I will get a job
Lets please Not post stuff like this
might elsewell make finland bigger
what the actuall helly
this is the one time where i dont want this
holy shi the stats
these should really be adjusted
Oh my god playing without la resistance is overpowerd. I just couped france in 1937 and they are facist now and allied with me.
Hi, apparently there are texture packs to optimize the game. Could you guide me on how to make one and then install it on my game?
i hate decision mini games
historically accurate Iran
ahaha
2 fachist poland
Hi
Real kriegsmarine
ts makes me want to play collapsing world
france is actually a competent country in it
is helping lounge open for those who want help with a run or no?
I remember playing as the Soviets, civ greeding for 4 years, leaving wondering why I was bored
based
not the civ greed bro
I was 900 hours, I wanted to larp ussr industry (I overdid it)
I have a beautiful stockpile
To be fair
I was at war with the Allies in 1937 π
And the Russians and The Americans join the Allies in 1939
I dont even know how Ive made it so far
prc without human waving
This aint no Great war redux
wym
Great war redux very good
Ik
I was playing Russia yesterday
Finished the war in 1917 so no revolution
π₯Ή βοΈ
Also found a rlly funny bug that guaranties a Russian win
Cooked
i dont own manchuria or middle china btw
my units just too goated
π
So uh how does one win against basically the entire world
im not gonna probably
invading uk impossible
only way is i invade the soviets
take their navy
basically i must beat everyone
I naval invaded the Uk as Poland last game π₯Ή βοΈ
Just spam 1936 subs
I genuinely feel so smort cus instead of doing 4 year plan I did prioritise economic growth
Cus its non historical
And I was 100% expecting the most ridiculous things to happen to me
And I was right
sweat encirclement
prc no navy man
like no navy
xd
I lwk hate playing Germany now because every non historical game starts with me at war with the Allies in 1937 and Austria refusing Anschluss
;-;
ze reichskommisariat larp is real
Japan is actually so USELESS
mmmm green green green
germany is too dam op
to hate
mmmmmm
the only thing they do is get the US into the allies, which is why i usually rush the UK and france
Its more non historical which completely screws me over
π
96 mmm
big china
lmao
bro is cooked
u gon have rebellions soon
Really? Every time I've plated non historical Germany I take over half of Europe by 1939, and then the wars after that are pretty easy
Vro they had NO appeasement
Every game ts happens
Also HATE Japan because Russia is fascist but I cant ally them because there in the allies cus Japan wants to invade them
France had like 10 tanks at the start of the War and almost encircled my entire army from the Maginot to the Netherlands
But I counter encircled and destroyed like 14 divs and 5 tanks
Lwk prob the only reason I was able to beat France
I don't think I've ever seen France attack through the Maginot as germany
Fr
I had like 24 divs on the Maginot and the BRITISH put divs in France
Which NEVER happens
So I genuinely almost just quit
how do people get PRC, yet I can barely, JUST BARELY, Sealion Britain
what the hell is that flag bruh π
W flag trust
Your ai needs to be locked up
Fr
Femboy reichπ why is Nazi Germany roleplaying as modern poland
laaaaarp
Hitler got assassinated because there was no confidence before 1939 π
Eva Braun for the win ong
Why is Soviet China so difficult to kill as China?
Hi guys
Britain putting tank divs in Poland π
How are you losing battles in Poland as Germany bro
You definitely bought a cursed version of hoi4
I dont think that is the main problem
xd
I just won a civil war in literally 6 days the french are awful
ymmmy
I suck at air, any good tips
Fighters with mgs and CAS
9 years in game
Build more
Ok
Spam good fighters
You need supply
Abd range
Normally you should be able to decimate ai planes with 2xmgs
Atleast in the early wat
^
My ai is rlly good at stacking odds against me
But REALLY bad at fighting
1937 vs 1939
Ignore my casualties trust
Im the best player ong
trans nazi flag π
Its tuff
no nazi flags/imagery please.
if you ever see this user in your multiplayer lobby, ban him instantly before it's too late
i lost so much men pushing
you were saying lmao
Anyone who likes playing Middle East?
CAN WE EXPLAIN ME HOW ON EARTH DID USA JOIN KOMMINTERN AND DECLARE WAR ON ME????
The enemy of my enemy situation
I dont like that by the time you reach Europe its usually in WW2
And for Africa you gotta do a world conquest by conquering UK/France
Yes that probably it
But just imagine, US joining KOMMINTERN π
Anyone down too join us in a Middle East game play?
yall consider germany's 1939 start good?
dont use 39 start date ever
unless its for that one germany or Poland achievement
Iran op
i kinda enjoy it bc i have done the 3 year building economy stage so much that its boring now. but i still want it to be good so i dont want to go for a meme run. i usualy get to build the economy fine then get problems in war time and have to restart
it is good for beginners purely focussing on combat
when you start theres too much to keep track of
but ofcourse once you start to understand everything you should move to '36
I've never ever used the 39 start date
i did in the beginning as it allows me to ignore eco and purely focus on war and combat in the beginning.
for someone experienced hoi4 looks simple but for a new player its very very confusing
hoi4 is s as simple as a dimple
which doesnt rly say anything tbh
hoi4 is unlike any game people have played before
something totally new
it is quite simple
hoi4
its not that hard once you get it but the economy stage building is a bit boring
all you do is person buttons
its very important if you truelly want to win the game
yeah ik but its a bit boring
not being shit at hoi4 is difficult*
if you prefere that correction
thats bs have some faith
i mean unlike you main germany or usa, hoi4 is difficult. best to start to learn the game with a minor country otherwise you get everything in your face all of the sudden
xd
anyone down too play midle east ith us
anyone has a solid 1938 germany save? so i can still change a little bit buit not everything from the economy.
all dlc
modded?
historical?
civ greed?
Dont they have a focus for that? :p
nah vanilla germany all dlc is fine as long as its 1938
rate my tank design out of 1
italy game 5 i think
u anne join us in a middle east fight?
I think i found a bug
Do you think ussr should be able to core itβs Cold War territories?
im doing an achievement run right now, what do you mean by "join [you] in a middle east fight?"
We have a community that only plays Middle East
These country agenst each other
Wanne join
Only 2 mods
All dlc
only the belarusian and ukrainian territories, and maybe decisions to deport germans from konigsberg to turn it into kaliningrad and core it
what mods
Sup
mmmm
aint no way azerbaijan is the middle east(according to this map) but not egypt
anyone got a vanilla 1938 germany save. all dlc?
lol
Itβs added
We will count it as Middle East
Check ur DMs btw
im scared
The game is bugged. I am allied with france, was never at war with them, own danzig, but still dont get the achievement 'Why Die For Danzig'
is France fascist?
usa might end me
yes!
They even have the name Nation Francaise
Abc ?
Hey guys I am new and this is my first time reaching WW2 as Italy
I am scared
What do I need to do to win
what does it say here?
isnt ethiopia supposed to not flee until like mid march
(cant use Why die for danzig for ss, I already have it)
its feb and they already took the train
how on earch am i suppoed to kill them fast enough
is it even possible
no
Making Wilhelm II proud I see
thats why I play non historical or just give every warlord the state they want and integrate the remaining two
May 20th*
but ive seen a lot of guides online on how to do it
but then they just fk off a month before all the guides say they were
Ethiopia canβt be capped after May 20th
thanks japan for the glorious donation
You still have time
it depends
they already capped and the king fked off already
On historical you have till May 20th
thats why im pissed
.
i have once seen them still cap on historical after that date so it just depends at what point they do the focus
Take Gibraltar, Suez, and Malta
Never had that happen to me before
How about a secret germany path if you get 0% stability because of Von Mackensen as your leader 
Itβs always May 20th
Like an anarchist one
How about a Strasser path
no?
who needs to build a navy if your puppets constantly provide ships
Do you have by blood alone?
the save im looking at right now is 1936 feb, ive taken most of ethiopia but then it suddenly popped out that they would cap and king fked off
Huh? Iβm confused
so am i
Goofy ahh NAZBOL LARP gets REAL at 3AM!!! (gone WRONG) (Austrian PAINTER CALLED)
weak
I said this because we can already get him as leader of Germany but he has no content
you said?
Building the navy from scratch is the only way (pov: it gets finished after 1943)
gyat
warzawo walcz is easy. You can do it.
destroyed the allies
Bro you had the patience to be in that game till 1947?
almost 1mil brits killed by prc
Hah! Why not '58?
i need that achievement
how i just can't get the operation
idk how ima get to uk
but we gonna do it
we have 0 navy now
but we can build one
for the uprising but i have like 70+ resistance in all of poland
did you do the connections with resistance operation?
i am going to touch americas boats soon
what you need to tho all the missions not just get 50+ resistance
and do i need it just in warsaw or all of polnad
Only warsaw I think
tnx i go do it right now
not until i gave italy a friendly reminder that they shouldnt have send volenteers to japan in my war against them
Maybe try a guide?
oke tnx again
here you can also find the achievement and look at the guide it has https://hoi4.paradoxwikis.com/Achievements
how do you think italy feels about this situation?
so i just do as guide says i don+t even have to play poland
the ai disbanded its faction just to join axis
this is worth more than some divisions
yes
you could also do it as the USSR I think
They probably preparing to switch sides
most definetly-
i found another way
invade spain
cause they at solo war
with italy
take spanish navy
invade italy
take italian navy
both navies enough to invade east england
carrying italy to a victory so i can get navy and puppet
and its anarchist spain
so i can give it land and it will core
so now i have super puppet and navy
This you?
which side am i?
the leopold
in that case yes
π
but i wouldnt get encircled
Sorry I have question.if I want to do convert tanks,like convert cheap tank to expensive tank,what should I do for the design? because it's always unbalance production or not able to convert it(same chassy) completely
can someone tell me a good offensive template
#ask-for-help-here pins
oh k
but generally it isnt the template thats the issue
did you click that small green tank icon??
bum italians i took the whole dam thing i killed 400k with 200k loses
the italians lost 2mil to 400k
Yeah I am not that noob manπ
all they did was feed and now they get more
just don't look at the terrain debuffs π
if it's the same chassy idk what else. Maybe the role is different?
Like one is desiganted tank and one artillery?
Yup
That's not the real problem,it's always cheap tank produce a lot like 10 but in convert it's like 4,even if I make them more alike they produce less than how I put all my factories on one line(without convert I mean),so it's difficult for me to found good balance design
a little overkill?
It' mainly that even for conversion u need to build up production growth. And even if you make just a bit better it's still more Ic at the end so that's why
So at the end main benefit from conversion is needing less resources?
the war didnt even last a week yet what the f-
Less IC compared to making a new production line
thanks for the suggestion, I tried, it's very fun
why does he look so disgusted π
did lukashenko not be his valentine
Bro thinks heβs the third Rome
If not taking your Time Can you send me the example design and for converting and the final tank?
he is bro
Of the Eurasian Empire
hes disgusted at America
Or a video on YouTube, because I didn't find good video on YouTube
Wait what mod is this
Red Dusk I think
yeah, (bulgaria was snacked on the way)
i am going to clean up sweden and finland then go for america
what year is it
Holy encirclement
is this a good garrison template?
i heard that military police and cavalry give suppresion bonus
so i used mp
Just use armored car not heavy tank
if u unlock ur last row it might be good
ye thats what i though
they did
my boys just goated
they had like 4 units on that tile and WE WON BABY
I mean they don't even have enough divisions home to defend every single tile
did i miss smth?

I did it by mistake
Definitely no double meaning here
Communism? France?

Artillery one if you wanna do something like 9/4
I forgot the template for it
/j
combined with guerrilla this sucks
come at me
im not doing cav

But I do remember completing WC with artillery sub doctrine. One which reduces arty width
guys what's the name of red dusk's main theme?

oh hell nah
yk i had to cripple their military industry
chat you get to pick v3
i fully trust this discord to make only the greatest of doctrine choices
honestly feeling like doing bomber fighters
mmmm greater hungary
you talk like you can get past lvl2 in air subdoctrines
ill find a way
im debating between bomber fighters and naval
haha get shit on
just because no one has ever done those
The hoi4 soundtrack is amazing. But everytime I listen to it I hear the sound of naval invasions
winnneeer
i have 48 of these.
now i just need to invade the soviets to get france
gotta fight all of ths to get mongolia and french china so i can get my achievement
there gues the austrian army
DLCs go on sale fairly often right?
During the Steam sales, and then PDX does their own sales as well between those sometimes
like 5 or 6 times maybe
bismarck would be proud
beautful
what the HELL is going on in east africa and the middle east
er
too dam much
gotta fight this whole thing to get my achievement
they joined allies joined a war v everyone and got kcked out by the brits
and now he dying
π
π€·ββοΈ pick the better sde next time
dont fght the chinese
i manually
invaded spain
so i could naval invade the uk
i spent 6 hours in this game
researching navy making a navy invading a non faction european nation and then doing a naval invasion
fascist uk you got this right?
im slowly losing my grip on reality
i fought the entire allies alone for half of chna without supply
um
NO. WAY. THEY ACTUALLY INCLUDED THIS STORY HERE NOW!?!?
<@&846894118219022336>
its been there for a while
never had it
why cant i join factions as prc?
i went down unwilling diarchy and i want to join the comintern in mp but im not allowed? why
USA, what was the point of even trying?
rawr
they got away π
the invasion escalated
good
long live the emprie
also
ima sleep now
catched them again but they will flee again
I GOT THEM CORNERED
THE CARRIERS GOT AWAY AGAIN BUT I GOT A FEW BATTLESHIPS
i mean, if you want to give me an axillery carrier?

I'm commie canada defending against democratic usa π₯
what mod is this
wdym
the extra states
bro what can i do atp tf
??
ohh
is there a way to stop getting missions from the duce without getting rid of him
is this good
no
personally i would remove the light tank and switch it with a truck or horse and remove the anti air next to the infantry
maybe put less infantry like 3 less
what did italy do bro
yea bro
idk how to navy
or paratroop
and lowk
i dont wanna deploy more troops
to defend my colonies
yk what else im gonna do
INVADE SPAIN
RAAHHHH
thats crazy
wait
i can invade turkey
and give
greece and bulgaria
their claims
u have land cruiser right?
whos a good alternative leader for mussolini because both grandi and balbo seem fine but i dont really know whats better include their personal focus
i never play italy
idk
why is brazil guaranteeing turkey
bruh
the only reason i play italy is because i cant stand watching them fumble africa π
because you caused to much world tension i assume
that would be the most common reason
yeah i guess so
calling this world dystopian might be an understatement
nothing ever happens in south america
exept peru and ecuador
meanwhile the german colonies in guinea, peru, bolivia and venezuela:
yeah well
who cares about those
am i right
fair
them rn:
honestly i would be terrified if i was any of the south american states
south america is now truely the "last bastion of freedom"
can i enpower the pope in italy?
byebye turkey
oh my god bruh
turkey HAD to join the alliance last second
well
this is gonna be hell
should i finish this tomorrow?
defenitly yes
WE LANDEDDDDD
Teach me your ways
the entirety of south america: "yes, all of you can join"
Turkey: "may i join"
South america: "yes"
Peru: wanting to join the SOUTH AMERICAN FACTION
South america: "no, bug off."
steal the french fleet
steal the french fleet and build everything you have in your que as germany, should be enough to gain naval supremacy in the channel
oof overstacked supplies
Nice, now expand as rapidly as possible
Im gonna try
(if i can defeat poland or Luxembourg
Just paradrop
Hey guys, I'm playing Finland for the first time, should I accept this offer from the USSR
if you really wanna cheese it use paratroopers and land them on every single french major VP
