[green lodge]

Lithuania's so goated cuz i just took out latvia and estonia by Jan 1938

[green lodge]

How does that matter ?

Even i do 🙏

[rain loom]

naval invade anatolia

[mystic sand]

The axis literally just give you land for free its easy money, then when you want just betray them and get the rest of dobruja and balkan puppets

[green lodge]

I just took out france and then naval invaded the British while area defending Turkey

Italy was an issue cuz i forgot they could naval invade

Never made that mistake again

They were at my doorstep but nobody was at their home so they lost

Nah fucckwit is what google told me

"Далбаёб" (usually spelled долбоёб) is a highly offensive, obscene Russian swear word used to describe an extremely stupid, idiotic, or foolish person.

[steel zephyr]

nah its not that serious

its like how brits say bellend

may the third PRC run succeed

[cedar lance]

hello yalls

[green lodge]

I'd play as Sikiang atp

[steel zephyr]

nah PRC is fun, my second PRC run almost succeeded

I united China just didn#t get Manchukuo

[green lodge]

Yeah sikiang's fun

I got all of China as that

[steel zephyr]

maybe i try that next

[green lodge]

But kumul khanate's better ngl

Sikiang does get good buffs from Soviets tho

But you need to hope they have a civil war. otherwise you lose a ton of buffs attacking them

Kumul can create Mongol empire/ turkish empire though

But that's not a lot of people

i would play as albania

To suffer

I tried, i gave up in 1938

[waxen oyster]

Is communist China with the new update worth playing? I enjoyed it a lot in the old version but I’m getting mixed messages about if the new one is fun lol

[green lodge]

sure
-# depends on your definition of fun

[rain loom]

nvm i playing finland

[tulip thorn]

I found communist china way more fun than nationalist china

[waxen oyster]

I never liked nationalist tbh lol

I only did it for achievement

I still gotta do Finland too

[soft yacht]

new update broke my save aughh

[heavy vigil]

state / map changes moment

[soft yacht]

fr

what a shame

hold up

bro why

[neat kayak]

i can't report a bug

on the forum

is there somewhere where i can report it?

[thorny lion]

how do i take over france as germany?

please @ me when awnsering me

[uncut pollen]

You must take belgium or trough the Maginot line

[vague steppe]

Is the update out yet?

[vague steppe]

Bro it’s people like you that make the devs nerf France into the ground

[tulip thorn]

Damn

Ice cold

💔

[vague steppe]

I’m sick of playing a France that’s 10x weaker than historically with Poland having a bigger industry

[tulip thorn]

Thats just a skill issue

France can be very powerful

[vague steppe]

Oh no I win

But like

[tulip thorn]

Its very much ai nerfed

[vague steppe]

Very annoying

France should be as powerful as historically with Germany having massive buffs for German invasion

[tulip thorn]

The french focus tree is really really old

Just wait for the french rework to come out 2028

[vague steppe]

💔

Belgium has a bigger industry than France fr now

[tulip thorn]

I hate the Belgian tree more than the terrible french one

[vague steppe]

Why?

[tulip thorn]

Because similar to the swiss tree, I just hate it

I dont like it

Had 0 fun while playing it

[vague steppe]

Can’t you become a major with the Congo at least

Building all your mils there

[tulip thorn]

Never played it

[vague steppe]

No I mean

As Belgium

You build all your mils in the Congo

[tulip thorn]

Im very very scared, what happened to my hoi4

[heavy vigil]

well it cant be for hist

like germany winning really really would be too easily preventable

tho now germany is OP so maybe not

but with old tree this was fair

[vague steppe]

definitely can be with really bad army debuffs that the AI would be programmed to never fix

Like Norway

[heavy vigil]

no

youd just put allied air up

france would need a severe overhaul

[vague steppe]

They’d lose it as soon as they cap

In which

Vichy gets the air

[heavy vigil]

like i get wanting it to be stronger, but the country would have to be redesigned entirely

[vague steppe]

Yeah 100%

But you really can’t have a paradox game without France

Which at this point with the power creep is basically

[heavy vigil]

march of the eagles

[vague steppe]

🙏

[vague steppe]

So yea

[oak mantle]

These balance changes are actually goated

"You require more division AA to get the maximum bonus to reduce cas damage. To reduce by the maximum 75% you need now ~55 anti air attack" this is massive

[clear dagger]

what have you done

[tulip thorn]

I got sent to the nether

I got sent to the nether for not playing meta 100% of the time

[steel zephyr]

china is fumbling

Chechenia lives

[umbral agate]

Yea

[atomic grove]

right click + ctrl ur navy to hawaii

[atomic grove]

seperate the carriers and a few other ships that have a lot of range

put those ships on patrol in the sea region that touches the us coast

as long as any of ur ships have range in just 1 singular tile of a sea region, u can gain supremacy in it

[umbral agate]

what ships have aalot of range?

[atomic grove]

depends

seperate all ur ship types

and see which one has enough range to touch 1 ocean tile of the us coast sea regions

[umbral agate]

is 4k enough?

[atomic grove]

carriers do have range

[atomic grove]

4k what

[umbral agate]

km

[atomic grove]

idk

u check

btw do not make ur carriers or any ships engage

just let them patrol and gain supremacy

u can also use submarines

to gain supremacy

[azure palm]

RIP

[umbral agate]

alr i can reach it

[lethal ether]

🫠 it was working perfectly fine yesterday

collapsing world mod btw

[tulip thorn]

New update

[umbral agate]

i have landed

[tulip thorn]

I cant use any of my map mods

Its tragic

I just want my darkest hour map 💔

[lethal ether]

how do i fixi t!!!

[steel zephyr]

gotta bail out blue china now

[azure palm]

what are you doing??

Are you even defending korea???

[steel zephyr]

I'm PRC bro

[azure palm]

oh

[azure palm]

Hmmm, well, good job then

I thought you were playing Japan

keep doing whatever you are doing right now

apparently it works

[lethal ether]

all these new patches breaking the mods i play i might just turn off my internet

[azure palm]

good job.

[steel zephyr]

my main division is actually trash but I just encircle them bit by bit

[azure palm]

yeah but you can do that. Youre China.

You can put out a lot of divisions easily

[sly venture]

I got blood alone now they only dlc that I want left is la resistance and I can finally start saving money again

[indigo ferry]

As America, why can my light cruisers not get across the atlantic, but everything else can?

[azure palm]

you will have pain with la resistance

[azure palm]

maybe try building a naval supply hub?

other ships have more range sometimes

[indigo ferry]

when I look at my light cruisers they should have longer range than my destroyers.

So I don't get what is up.

It's literally beginning game. 1936. I'm trying to understand naval range, but it's not making sense thus far.

[craggy trail]

Bigger ships like capital ships (aircraft carriers, battleships, battle cruisers) have longer range than screens (light cruisers, destroyers)

[terse skiff]

Check the range stat for your ships

[indigo ferry]

off the coast of spain, raiders (subs) and escorts (destroyers) can make it there, but not my scouting force (cruisers).

when I look at max range: ****

[craggy trail]

You would need to get some ships on patrol to a naval base closer to that sea zone

[indigo ferry]

cruiser clearly has superior range on paper.

so why is it the only one that has trouble getting across the atlantic?

[shy onyx]

Tis tuff? (ignore speed i refit engine later)

[craggy trail]

Split the cruiser off the destroyers and you'll get more coverage

[craggy trail]

Pretty tuff. Don't forget to upgrade the fire control systems

[shy onyx]

ye ik im gunna refit once built

[craggy trail]

[shy onyx]

do you know if the super heavy battery are the best guns in the game?

[craggy trail]

They're the best guns against capital ships

[shy onyx]

ok thx

[tulip thorn]

Replace all of this with anti air

[shy onyx]

sure?

i have anti air ships

in the task force its in

[tulip thorn]

You arent getting that ship until 48

[terse ridge]

Can anyone explain what's happening here

[remote lintel]

Don't forget La Resistance is the next in line DLC for a potential integration into the base game. Do what you want with that information..

[tulip thorn]

25k production cost in vanilla is crazy

[azure palm]

Who is comming up with those achievement names? "The Pope? How many Divisions does he have?" and "Stalin? How many Guns does he have?" are crazy names.

[shy onyx]

it takes 3 and a half years to build one

I have 2 in the queu

buth finishing withion 2 days

[tulip thorn]

First one is a real thing that stalin said

[azure palm]

what

[toxic cypress]

no its not like i wanna be part of the uk or anything

[tulip thorn]

Or something that alot think he said, I keep finding conflicting articles and such

Just look it up

[shy onyx]

bug

[steel zephyr]

nice, jaoan finally invaded the phillipines

[craggy trail]

The range of your task force depends on the lowest range ship. That said, for areas in the Pacific and Atlantic where naval bases are fewer in coverage, you may want to look into breaking off cruisers from destroyers for the patrol advantage or construct naval supply hubs to increase operational range to your naval bases (level 8 and above naval base).

[terse ridge]

They legit did that for a year and suddenly stopped lmfao

[shy onyx]

drop the sun on japan? 🤔

[sly venture]

when will that happen if it happens

[fair herald]

I did it!!!

[craggy trail]

https://tenor.com/view/derpy-derpy-hooves-mlp-my-little-pony-clap-gif-15401120

[steel zephyr]

[heady kettle]

Can you add me into hoi4

Make my own little country

[deep pike]

can anyone spot whats wrong with these division stats?

[steel zephyr]

Korea just got released out of me 😢

wouldve made a nice puppet

[shy onyx]

everything

can i see template?

[heavy vigil]

devious thought but lowkey i want antarctica added with an australia/new zealand update

[shy onyx]

how

[deep pike]

this is the ACTUAL stats its supposed to have

[shy onyx]

It must be supply

[deep pike]

nope

[shy onyx]

terrain?

[deep pike]

for some reason game is applying a base of 6%

[deep pike]

nope

[deep pike]

terrain isnt supposed to make it THAT low

[heavy vigil]

base stat

not final

[shy onyx]

mabey its bugged i say relode the game

[deep pike]

okay

[heavy vigil]

@fair horizon sheep has a formable for australia in the mod btw

[toxic cypress]

late game v commies is hell

ive killed 10mil of them

they keep coming

[echo turtle]

So thinking about purchasing the game as it looks fun, do i just get the base game or is there any DLC thats worth it

[toxic cypress]

GYYATT

complete commie death

gyat

[crude dragon]

Maximum cores of the Philippines

[heavy vigil]

why isnt taiwan labelled as polynesia?

[deep pike]

not working

[heavy vigil]

it gets cored through it

[lethal ether]

is every mod that changes the map colorless now

[heavy vigil]

perfection

[lethal ether]

what

[crude dragon]

too lazy to edit

[lethal ether]

my head hurts already

[crude dragon]

bermuda also has the color but too lazy to edit

[toxic cypress]

im so cooked

fighting to berlin

https://tenor.com/view/exhausted-sleep-haggard-gif-8501838

[crude dragon]

this makes Philippines have max cores like Anarchist Spain. Too bad Philippines cannot directly core New Zealand

or Taiwan

[toxic cypress]

i been saying phillipines too op

honest this dlc made everything too op

[crude dragon]

could be more OP had it have 5th research slot

[heavy vigil]

can you not?

[crude dragon]

would have made Cobalt Sea less painful

[crude dragon]

no

[heavy vigil]

its part of polynesia formable

[toxic cypress]

max coring most the world

is op ash

[crude dragon]

well at least not directly

[toxic cypress]

even the doable max

is high

[heavy vigil]

idk how it works

[crude dragon]

polynesia and north america is cored by chile, chile is cored by Philippines

sejozwak explained it

[heavy vigil]

ok in that case this is pointless

max cores is already doable in other ways if you exclude anarchist and anything coring the whole world naturally

[crude dragon]

i said max cores, not specified whether directly

[maiden verge]

What is that?

[crude dragon]

maximum possible cores by philippines through "core all maximum cores of spain, argentina, chile" decision and ASEAN

[steel zephyr]

framemogged

[crude dragon]

germany can go democratic. core entire EU. hilter can core all of EU

[maiden verge]

I see

[crude dragon]

the only places the filipinos are absent are the impassable deserts and forests, and desolate islands

[steel zephyr]

last japanese pockets

[toxic cypress]

1/10 the way to berlin

atleast we getting rid of 20mil commies

[obsidian sigil]

i cant steal american bomber designs

wtf is steal aviation bps doing

i saw that it gives the tech

[icy crow]

I got a question for you guys, what’s your favorite loading screen in HOI4?

[heavy vigil]

[maiden verge]

These two

[obsidian sigil]

https://youtu.be/hnadb44fyUI?si=n_fzJHz6UbFZHEqP

[toxic cypress]

[maiden verge]

Don't give up

[heavy vigil]

[heavy vigil]

which is rlly good

[obsidian sigil]

dammit

i need my amerikabomber

[patent siren]

hi

[vital cove]

i should probably buff my divisions to 50 width just for the funny. 800 hp lets go

[heavy vigil]

if you dont fill width you know what they say

[austere crystal]

why cant we revert to older versions in 1.17 and only 1.16.10

[toxic cypress]

its been 8 years daddy

[icy crow]

Second one that you sent is my favorite

[toxic cypress]

[shy bloom]

[grizzled zenith]

Yaaay

[toxic cypress]

i need to cap italy and germany

[steel zephyr]

[safe wing]

Now all you need to do is clean up

[steel zephyr]

japanese presence in manchuria is very weak and those pockets actually have 0 japanese

just gotta rush to the eastern chinese states before russia's faction takes them all

[safe wing]

Kill the other warlords

[safe wing]

I see Russia went Monarchist

[soft yacht]

[wide pebble]

Idk

[toxic cypress]

almost 8 years of war for this

from mongolia and yunan

[steel mica]

@median juniper

[finite plume]

I genuinely wonder

How Paradox absolutely breaks every system on every "Patch"

Like

What happened to the colors and borders

[surreal lintel]

lmao

[quasi shoal]

do you have a map mod

because that's why

[storm tartan]

They can’t really be blamed for whatever mod stack you’re running from 2019 not being compatible

[charred lake]

"...the first American marines landing on Feburary 19th incurred enormous losses from Japanese mortar fire, machine guns, and land mines laid in advance" - The World War 2 Book

[quasi shoal]

idk what like half of thesea re

it's prolly the night 24/7 or sumn tho

[finite plume]

It's up to date tho

[quasi shoal]

yeah

all map mods i've seen have bugs since ncns

I know fps map is bugged

in diplomatic mode everything goes dark but the highlighted countries

(although tbh I like the look more than the default)

[finite plume]

M' not gonna sugarcoat anything when they have failed to fix the Nudger for years

Or how they charge 20-30 USD for a DLC that breaks more things than it adds

[surreal lintel]

It sucks but hey what can you do

Are we even able to roll it back through steam or no?

[finite plume]

1939's start date literally has a bunch of errors on start ups

[finite plume]

You can but mods typically want to be on the newest version

[quasi shoal]

disable the map mods

[finite plume]

Since people won't play a new mod that they have to completely swap versions just to play

[quasi shoal]

yes

[finite plume]

It was the night mod

[surreal lintel]

:/ yup there goes me playing collapsing world today

[finite plume]

Genuinely don't understand how they break things every patch 🥀

[quasi shoal]

this has been broken for like 4 months

since ncns dropped 💔

[storm tartan]

They didn’t break it, they fixed it. Now the mod is out of date

[finite plume]

If a modder fixes it themselves, then they were the ones who patched it

[quasi shoal]

it's a bug with mods they caused

[storm tartan]

Who tf wants a night 24/7 anyways just play TNO

[finite plume]

I have to clear errors in the base game code

[quasi shoal]

night 24/7 would be cool

let people like what they like

[surreal lintel]

Genuinely I'm tempted to have night 24/7 with my r56 modlist

[finite plume]

"Who wants seasoning on their food, just eat a ghost pepper"

🥀

[surreal lintel]

Sometimes it's easier on the eyes

[soft yacht]

how do i change back to 1.17.3 on steam none of my mods or saves work

[storm tartan]

Sure they can. But I’d rather have them try to fix the issues they put into the game than be enslaved to mods

[finite plume]

This game's life span is revolved around mods

I feel like they should put more care into idk

Fixing the literal main tool for map modding

[quasi shoal]

in the "Game versions & Betas" section of the properties right click

[finite plume]

Before adding a +5% buff to Iraq

[quasi shoal]

what if

they did both

[soft yacht]

oldest i can do is 1.16.10

[storm tartan]

Yes it is and they work with the big ones to ensure their compatibility patches drop almost simultaneously

[quasi shoal]

instead of neither 🤔

[soft yacht]

but i want to play my old saves

from before this patch broke my game

[quasi shoal]

didn't you say change back to 1.17.3

[surreal lintel]

I would sit back and be happy Best of both worlds

[finite plume]

The oligarch mindset isn't a good one

[soft yacht]

??

[finite plume]

Mods don't just start big

[quasi shoal]

oh you meant newest you can go back to

[finite plume]

If they make it hard and frustrating to begin new mods

Then no new mods will be made

[soft yacht]

yeah

[quasi shoal]

yeah then I don't believe you can downpatch

[soft yacht]

thats a shame

looks like im playing base game

aughh

[storm tartan]

I am sorry paradox didn’t consult with Night 24/7s creator who is undoubtedly on their way to making the next Kaiserreich

[soft yacht]

worse then torture

[ripe slate]

lol

[finite plume]

It's not even about night 24/7

That's not a map mod, it's a graphics mo

mod*

[surreal lintel]

^

[quasi shoal]

there's more than one mod broken

[storm tartan]

Yeah and they fixed a graphics issue in the patch

[finite plume]

With the nudger at its current state

It CTD's if you even hover over strategic regions at times

It CTD's if you try adding supply hubs

It CTD's if you try using the database without starting a game first and logging out of it

[surreal lintel]

Well look on the bright side it isn't going to take like a couple of days to fix this patch I believe with how many mods are affected I won't be surprised before the days out there's a fix

[storm tartan]

Are you trying to say a slur and are writing “nuger” instead

Anime pfps always the same

[finite plume]

I have a wonky keyboard, but sure try to do semantics

[surreal lintel]

._ .

[finite plume]

They can't win the argument so they go to insults smh

Stop being a corporate scab and just admit PDX is negligent on certain fields of their game

[quasi shoal]

[storm tartan]

I already won the argument when I said that paradox shouldn’t be afraid to fix bugs they stupidly introduced 6 months ago just because it breaks a meaningless UI mod

[finite plume]

The Nudger is literally in the base game

And a core of making maps

It's not some meaningless UI

[quasi shoal]

no one "won" the argument

since clearly you're still arguing

[left jewel]

pray to king paradox

or revert versions

no mod has jumped to 17.4 yet so if you revert to 17.3 you be fine

[crude bronze]

gonna try user directory

if that doesnt work then i am changing version

[rugged nova]

Iron curtain is outdated

Isn’t it?

[crude bronze]

yeah it says its in v 1.15

[rugged nova]

It works with 1.15.3

[crude bronze]

so ill revert to 1.15

how do i change version though?

[rugged nova]

It’s pretty easy for steam users

You have hoi4 on steam, right?

[crude bronze]

[rugged nova]

Open your steam library and go to hoi4

[molten forge]

Also, I am smacked dab in between as Commie China

[zenith imp]

[gentle raft]

[vivid juniper]

I am missing states but I tried fighting Japan hence on their border, but it didn’t go well even with a 90% Collab

I was hoping the German AI would screw up and Japan would attack Germany

[safe wing]

<@&846894118219022336>

[vivid juniper]

But the AI followed its historical course so they befriended Japan

[uncut pollen]

Istg

Of one of these scams appear one more time today

Im gonna go crazy

[heavy vigil]

will do

[molten forge]

@paper kestrel who has 2 slots?

@umbral trellis yall got notifs off?

[vivid juniper]

Does anyone know why I get 25% democratic support with Conmunist China. I thought it was originally Democratic China when I first encountered it, but I had Chang this time

Does the AI just casually boost ideologies?

[dusky burrow]

time for the great westward push

[vivid juniper]

I did I had a 90% Collab on them but when I triggered it, it didn’t go particularly well as I’ve left Japan to juice it’s 1946 too

[molten forge]

@steel mica

@umbral trellis tell the brits to check chat

I feel there's no need to go full Navy as Japan in Singleplayer, i can only consider it for roleplaying purposes, i think...

[azure palm]

then the community managers wont do much

[warm forum]

The Navy tree itself is absolutely doo-doo ass broken

[plush pine]

so idk how you are loooking on that

[azure palm]

I think

[heavy vigil]

in mp there isnt either

you do air

[warm forum]

this.

[cosmic jewel]

will they ever add food and ammos and moneys??

and also the province in france of savoy is inaccurate, they should modify it and make NICE and SAVOY, which are the correct, old italian territories

[uncut pollen]

So with food

And if you run out of food

[safe wing]

Why add this it just makes the game more complicated

And we don’t need that

[uncut pollen]

Is it just so that the troops starve

And you loose all your troops

[safe wing]

I don’t want more black ice esque stuff

[warm forum]

I thought food and ammo was implicit included in the supply mechanics, lol

[soft yacht]

bro wtf

[long pendant]

romania pinning and snaking now 🥀

[soft yacht]

shit so random

[dusky burrow]

you should definitely be able to beat japan

as player

are you lacking resources?

[dusky burrow]

romania about to steal the entire soviet union

[long pendant]

lol

i traded with poland, so they should be fine for now

[cosmic jewel]

it need to be like this

so its more realistic

[safe wing]

No it doesn’t

Rome total war and medival 2 aren’t realistic but are extremely fun

[cosmic jewel]

u just want an easy game, just go play roblox knockoffs

[safe wing]

Realism doesn’t mean fun

[cosmic jewel]

it can

dude its also supposed to make everything balanced

[safe wing]

How ? WW2 wasn’t a balanced conflict

[cosmic jewel]

its real life

its not balanced, if ur trash ur just trash

[safe wing]

Not how it works

Also Roblox is a garbage platform

[cosmic jewel]

how, these mechanics make the game realistic and obviously more balanced

[shy onyx]

m,illions of shjips must sink

[amber gyro]

Hey does anybody know how to fix this? This just randomly happened with my Hearts of Iron 4 game and I'm not sure how to fix it. Like I just tried loading up my game and this happened and I am not sure how to fix it. Does anybody know how to fix it?

[safe wing]

Republic of France in Algeria or Mongolia led by Sternberg

[copper sluice]

wtf

why am I being forced into this alliance

[heavy vigil]

not forced

[copper sluice]

oh yea right

the same way people in the third reich werent forced to vote for the nsdap

[mystic nest]

Realism

In hoi4?

Like the game where you can make space marine divisions

[copper sluice]

I dont have to accept the alliance, but if I dont I will get shot in the head

[mystic nest]

the game where you can get manpower out of encirclements by just deleting the armies and they magically teleport 100 miles out of enemy territory

the game where a carrier with absolutely nothing on it is the best way to hold naval supremacy

[heavy vigil]

its just 30 ws

youll be fine

[copper sluice]

"just"

im france bro thats all I have

[heavy vigil]

its only your base

not from your modifiers

[copper sluice]

still kinda sucks

[heavy vigil]

you prob have less than 30 base

[copper sluice]

10

but dont tell anyone

[mystic nest]

10 ws

average france gameplay

[copper sluice]

I wish france was good

brrrrrrroken focus tree

[mystic nest]

they are not terrible

but theyre not a powerhouse

[scarlet badger]

what path are you playing? Just curious

[copper sluice]

french empire as thats the only interesting one

wtf why is germany justifying in 1936

oh its the exile of wilhelm

[copper sluice]

I know but there is just so much stuff that will screw you over

like communists fleeing germany for exampkle

[sly venture]

Will these plans work

[mystic nest]

You dont really need that many ports

I usually draw naval orders to encircle one port

to guarantee i capture it

[vocal bolt]

holy moly why is the turkey tree so long

[mystic nest]

just get to ban communism

and youll be fine

[vocal bolt]

and everything is 70 day

[sly venture]

gg ez

[vocal bolt]

hows your naval supremacy

[pseudo rose]

The Turkey tree is so cooked

[vocal bolt]

nevermind

seems a bit overkill but what do I know

[calm delta]

Sealion is a pain in the ass to do now

[mystic nest]

why do you have some mech tank divs

some light tank divs

wait mech divs??

WJAT

what the hell are your div templates 😭

[vocal bolt]

its not THAT bad, you can get half the tree done by 1945

[mystic nest]

just paratroop and ignore allat

[sly venture]

one sec

[vocal bolt]

my goat

[mystic nest]

half done by 1945..

[vocal bolt]

paradrop into paris and win

[vocal bolt]

also midget sub spam

[calm delta]

Paratroopers never understood how to use em

[sly venture]

I am having an easier time with the uk then France lmao

[mystic nest]

yeah but the french are so bad you dont even need to cheese them

[sly venture]

this is my template

[vocal bolt]

support divs kinda eh

[sly venture]

And yes armored recon is ness

[pseudo rose]

Let France slam into you, they run out of equipment and die

[vocal bolt]

why 2 support armor

[mystic nest]

is this an offensive div or defensive? if offesnive remove the line anti air and make it 36w. if defensive remove ht anti air and 3 inf battalions, remove armored recon and flame tank

[sly venture]

Offense

[mystic nest]

why even btoher? you can slam throuigh them in 3 days

[sharp sierra]

the support divs are the only ok thing about it

[mystic nest]

make it 36w

[pseudo rose]

Also that

[vocal bolt]

yeah no arty for some reason

[sharp sierra]

or do you mean the dumb anti air battalion

[mystic nest]

theres no point in holding against france as germany

[calm delta]

How to use em

[mystic nest]

theyre designed to cap

[vocal bolt]

air supremacy

[mystic nest]

its like drawing a naval invasion order

if you can draw a naval invasion you can paratroop

[vocal bolt]

train paratroopers and have transport planes

then you just do like naval invasion but on land

[dapper pine]

Quick question why is any time hoi4 updates something always breaks

[sly venture]

sea lion is kinda easy you just have to land on the English Channel then land from the North Sea and boom you beat the uk

[pseudo rose]

Because it's a 10 year old game of spaghetti code

[vocal bolt]

whats the ranking of dlcs in order of importance

I wanna get my dlcs going

[calm delta]

Because they do naval invasions are pain now too use to be easy

[vocal bolt]

surely it has 10 more years of 30 dollar dlc

[cinder adder]

what’s better hoi4 or eu5

[copper sluice]

damn france doesnt even have a grand battleplan expert

[sly venture]

no step back number one by blood alone second gotterdamrung 3 la resistance 4

[vocal bolt]

why are you flagged for spam

[mystic nest]

games older than some players

[pseudo rose]

Hell yeah it does

[copper sluice]

[cinder adder]

[pseudo rose]

[vocal bolt]

hows arms against tryanny or whatever its called

[mystic nest]

annexed to eitehr form austria hungary or anschluss

[vocal bolt]

the nordic trees seem cool

[mystic nest]

yeah being able to design tank divs is great

[pseudo rose]

Focus trees are okay, mechanics are great

[mystic nest]

good

[dapper pine]

it is a bit of a pain tho but it is funny aswell cause sometimes you get stuff like this

[vocal bolt]

yeah tank divs seem juicy but epxensive

[mystic nest]

plane designing is great

[sly venture]

only think I like about it is ranged recon

[mystic nest]

as most countries you only neeed liek 6 to maybe 12 proper medium tank divs

[pseudo rose]

All mods will get broken with updates it's normal

[mystic nest]

to do anything you want with tanks

encircle etc

[sly venture]

Also this was my tank was it good

[vocal bolt]

the issue is that I could have gotten the new dlcs but I got the game when the first 4 dlc was paid

[mystic nest]

ej

ph

waIT

[calm delta]

Right

[mystic nest]

[calm delta]

Paras are just werid is all

[pseudo rose]

Back when I bought it, the latest DLC was waking the tiger

[mystic nest]

[dapper pine]

Oh well now i get to live pixy a dream a world without borders

[mystic nest]

armor doesnt do anything on flame tanks

[dapper pine]

please get the refence

[vocal bolt]

I got the gmae in 2022 or so

[mystic nest]

medium tanks are best for sp, heavy tanks best for mp

[vocal bolt]

sp ?

ah

singleplayer

[sharp sierra]

its about breakthrough

[vocal bolt]

counterpoint

heavy tanks are lame

light tanks are cool

[mystic nest]

does armor add more break? i thought it was just more hardness and armor stats

[pseudo rose]

Counter counter point, just build mechanised

[sly venture]

I only use medium tanks

[vocal bolt]

gay

[sharp sierra]

its basically a breakthrough button

[mystic nest]

yeah same

[pseudo rose]

No u

[vocal bolt]

you will build hussars and you will like it

[mystic nest]

ah nevermind thats my bad then, reliability doesnt matter onf lame tanks right

[sharp sierra]

flame tanks are so cheap to include in a limited amount of offensive units its worth the cost

[vocal bolt]

cavalry my goat

[mystic nest]

yeah

[sly venture]

yesterday i spent 5 hours trying to do Byzantine and i genuinely started tweaking

[finite plume]

Made Provinces for California, Nevada, and Utah, gotta work on Arizona next

[vocal bolt]

do yall use military police ?

[pseudo rose]

No

[sly venture]

no

[vocal bolt]

I always research it super early

[pseudo rose]

Unless garrison

[vocal bolt]

then make a garrison div

1 mp 1 infatry

[pseudo rose]

1 horse

[vocal bolt]

helps with manpower alot

[pseudo stream]

I was hacked before so if Someone see a message mine don't do what It says

[sharp sierra]

why do infantry instead of a cav

[vocal bolt]

https://tenor.com/view/horse-horse-reaction-reaction-elite-dangerous-borann-boys-gif-25049405

[mystic nest]

only for garrisons if i have a lot of mp

[pseudo rose]

Imma do what it says

[mystic nest]

dont use inf to garrison

[sly venture]

ITALY YOU DID NOTHING BRO

[pseudo rose]

Yeah use light tanks

[sharp sierra]

cav has more suppression bonus

[mystic nest]

nah

[sly venture]

WHAT COULD ITALY HAVE POSSIBLY DONE

[mystic nest]

cav is more than fine for garrisoning

[vocal bolt]

speed so goated

[finite plume]

Casualties count towards war score

:P

[mystic nest]

common player led peace conferences w

[vocal bolt]

hate that when playing minor nations

[sly venture]

DID ITALY JUST SPENT 10 MILLION CASUALTIES ON CAIRO OR SMT

[mystic nest]

player led peace conferences

[vocal bolt]

bc you just lose out on stuff due to your low manpower

[mystic nest]

thats the only mod i play with

[vocal bolt]

guh buh pluh

[mystic nest]

for a good reason

[finite plume]

Yes

It's Italy

[pseudo rose]

It makes for excellent map painting

[vocal bolt]

you WILL download the mod that adds 10 gazillion decisions and a ball itch meter that takes the game up to the heat death of the universe

[steel zephyr]

didnt even know norway could muster this much manpower

[mystic nest]

black ice!!

[finite plume]

That narrows it down by so little 🙏

[vocal bolt]

perchance

[pseudo rose]

The Tism mod

[mystic nest]

pre sure norway can take a fair bit more than a mil casualties

[sly venture]

I suck at playing my own country bro

[finite plume]

I think players forget that the last few options like Scraping the Barrel and all Adults Serve exist just cause they never get THAT desperate

[vocal bolt]

what does battle for bosprous add

[mystic nest]

greece bulgaria turkey focus tree

[sly venture]

it is the best dlc because it adds Greece focus tree

[pseudo rose]

No mechanics, just those focus trees

[sly venture]

and Greece is the best country oat

[mystic nest]

greece is fun but i think bulgaria can scale more?

[vocal bolt]

ah thats why so cheap

[mystic nest]

not sure though

[finite plume]

I once had the USSR lose 75M-80M manpower to me

Which is 2/3 of their entire country

[mystic nest]

how did they do that withotu capping

[vocal bolt]

am turkish lmfao

[pseudo rose]

Bulgaria is easily the best tree, then Greece, then turkey

[finite plume]

It was a very long war

[mystic nest]

i usually cap the ussr by the tium,e they have 5-6milc asualties

[steel zephyr]

puppeting norway, annexing two states and taking ALL of their civs

[vocal bolt]

20 year war

[slim idol]

Also best because you can get emperor Hitler or sm as the Byzantines

[vocal bolt]

why do people puppet

[mystic nest]

i HATE the turkey tree

[finite plume]

This doesn't include the allies war btw

[sly venture]

best must have dlcs are no step back by blood alone and gotterdammerung tho

[finite plume]

Where they lost even more

[mystic nest]

2 people in nato? what happened

[steel zephyr]

garrisons aren't free

[finite plume]

The allies betrayed me

[pseudo rose]

I don't hate Turkey, but I hate the ottoman path

[vocal bolt]

why it only takes till 1953 to finish the fous tree

[mystic nest]

no mp to garrison

[finite plume]

Tibet was my only true ally till the end

[mystic nest]

🥀

[mystic nest]

💀 as historical us? insane

[vocal bolt]

I like having my country be bigger

[pseudo rose]

True map painter

[mystic nest]

[mystic nest]

dude i capped all majors on my second playthrough

how do you achieve this

[vocal bolt]

onnly playing minors

[mystic nest]

[pseudo rose]

I held and crushed Germany as France on my 2nd playthrough

[mystic nest]

brazil all major cap by 44

[sly venture]

well I also had the British raj and Canada

[mystic nest]

hungary all major cap

[sly venture]

[mystic nest]

no ussr?? the ussr should be easy

[vocal bolt]

[finite plume]

Y'all should conquer the world as Rapa Nui

[mystic nest]

for germany to rip through

[mystic nest]

[vocal bolt]

You see, I dont have tank desinger

[sly venture]

[vocal bolt]

I dont remeber mexico beibg connected to europe

[mystic nest]

[finite plume]

Are tanks just guaranteed wins in Vanilla

[vocal bolt]

is that the new dlc

[mystic nest]

naval invade mexico

[sharp sierra]

full tank divisions suck in my opinion

[mystic nest]

mate anythings a guaranteed win in vanilla

[sharp sierra]

or theyre too restrictive

[mystic nest]

who doesnt run tank/mech

[finite plume]

Till I'm playing ironman

[vocal bolt]

hussars my goat

[finite plume]

I get so self-conscious about tanks becoming outdated

[sly venture]

But I mean I did not even try to invade the USA if I wanted to I would just put 10 quad invasions

[sharp sierra]

i just put a couple battalions of tanks into my special forces they can go anywhere and win any battle

[mystic nest]

ironman just prevents save scumming does it not?

[finite plume]

That by the time I get to making them

It's 1944

[sharp sierra]

just copy the save file the game doesnt deserve your time like that

[mystic nest]

ironman doesnt make it harder

[vocal bolt]

just turn ironman off bro

[finite plume]

Yeah but I feel like the AI does everything to absolutely merc you in ironman

[slim idol]

Unless you get naval invaded without noticing and they just cap you

[vocal bolt]

no one is forcing you to not savescum

[mystic nest]

then.. notice??
