hoi4-general

[tulip thorn]

Remove both

Just pure inf

[heady swallow]

woah somebody got fired for that

[tulip thorn]

Much better

[heady swallow]

feel like a possibility of adding an additional company

[ivory hull]

signal companies then

[heady swallow]

mhm

im not bad at hoi4, except for doing paratroopers and navy

but navy is understandable

so paratroopers

[ivory hull]

?

what does that have to do with anything?

[heady swallow]

i kinda suck playing as germany, cuz i cannot capitulate the uk

paratroopers immediately die

[ivory hull]

just naval invade then

[heady swallow]

germany barely has a navy that can be used. and ik ik "do naval focuses"

but germany is supposed to be that land hegemon

[ivory hull]

dont do naval focuses

that just a waste

i can invade with the starting ships

just build the ones in construction

and train them

and get a good amount of cas

and naval strike

and hope the uk doesnt engage you

[heady swallow]

im pretty good at anything that isnt germany or spain

[ivory hull]

are you playing on regular difficulty?

[heady swallow]

regular and ironman

tried veteran

pain

[ivory hull]

ok bro theres no way your struggling on germany

[heady swallow]

struggling on germany only in case of britain

destroying france is rlly easy

and pushing the soviets is quite easy too

[ivory hull]

how much good air do you have on germany?

[heady swallow]

i use mostly fighters using the improved fighter with 3x heavy machines, 3x engine and 3x armor plates

some cas too

[ivory hull]

whats the cas design your using?

[warm palm]

What happens if i set the same plane to do multiple tasks? Does it pause CAS and focus on sir superiority if it doesnt have air superiority?

[heady swallow]

bomb locks with 3x engine and armor plates

idk how to make a good cas design

[ivory hull]

dont use armor plates

[heady swallow]

might just be a skill issue

[ivory hull]

you want 2x heavy bomb locks, 1x bomb locks, engine 3 and i usually just take 1 drop tank

thats it

[heady swallow]

mhm. Anyways im very good as hungary

[ivory hull]

ok?

[eternal palm]

U can do 3 Heavy bomb locks though?

[ivory hull]

can you?

[heady swallow]

hungary is quite easy, lowk

[eternal palm]

It can't. It can only do one task at a time. It might be able to do multiple but not at once. That said, multi role planes suck ass

Only ever make planes for one purpose

[supple pelican]

Counting or not counting gang violence?

[ivory hull]

ohh so im only using 2x heavy bomb locks and 1 normal cause otherwise adding drop tanks isnt possible when using 1x engine 3

[heady swallow]

the only nations i dont like is either those together for victory nations ( except canada ), iceland and ethiopia

[honest night]

Isn’t multi cas navs kinda decent?

[eternal palm]

What?

[eternal palm]

Right, that's probably the only case in which it's good.

You can use cas to nav strike ofc since those don't impede each other

[heady swallow]

i def need a good paratrooper technique for uk

[eternal palm]

But don't make fighters with cas modules

[ivory hull]

naval invading is a lot easier imo

[eternal palm]

You literally can though?

Look at this

[heady swallow]

tried once and uk sunk all of my ships

[ivory hull]

i was talking about this

[eternal palm]

Why drop tanks

They suck ass

[ivory hull]

but yea just changing drop tanks with extra fuel tanks is a lot better

[eternal palm]

Extra fuel is so much better

[ivory hull]

yea

idk why i never thought about changing it

[ivory hull]

if you put up enough cas on naval strike or navs they take some of their fleet out of the channel which gives you enough time to get supremacy

[heady swallow]

mhm

[honest night]

Does the module that cheapens it make cas more vulnerable to aa? I’ve been thinking about this but idk the answer

[eternal palm]

AA ignores Air defense

But the module is still bad because you get farmed

[honest night]

You can encircle Dover quite easily same for naval invading in mp it’s also where basically every sealion happens so you should fortify it as uk in mp

[honest night]

Good to know ig

[sly venture]

now that I beat the allies do I take all the uk navy and puppet them

[crude scroll]

Someone can send best infantry and tank division templates?

[heavy topaz]

save me from this hell

[eternal palm]

Lmao

[crude scroll]

Thanks Buddy 🙏🏻

[sly venture]

do i puppet the uk

[vocal bolt]

take mainland puppet the colonies

take resource from eveywhere

whats the play here

seize navy

[vocal bolt]

do I just try to paradrop

[sly venture]

do i steal all the navy

and do i puppet canda

[vocal bolt]

if you want to

[vocal bolt]

I mean it really depends on manpower

can you garrison allat

if no just puppet

[sly venture]

am thinking of taking it to prepare for us invasion

or i might just do barbarossa first

[uneven sorrel]

7/2 is this relevant for infantry?

7 helmets 2 art

just after the doctrines have been transferred, i think we can return to this template.

[tulip thorn]

no

Line artillery is bad

And you might want to get that symbol out of your name before a mod tells you to

[uneven sorrel]

the new doctrine mechanics are designed for line artillery.

[tulip thorn]

Still doesnt make it good

Pure inf is still way better

[uneven sorrel]

14-16 W ?

[tulip thorn]

16w for defense infantry

[heavy topaz]

if your playing a minor matching it to terrain is also viable

[tulip thorn]

35.7 (36) for attacking infantry, if you are using a infantry strat ofc

Scroll up for templates

[uneven sorrel]

36 for attacking infantry ?)))
34 W for tank division with 800 soft attack
perfect for manual control, makes it easy to knock divisions out of cells and surround enemy divisions

[tulip thorn]

38w for tanks

Currently in sp medium spgs are the best if you are using tanks

[uneven sorrel]

in sp, the bot tank templates leave much to be desired

[eternal palm]

34w will get you reinforce memed into outer space

It's better to be above than below width

U can do 33% over width, it just matters that you get into the battle

[eternal palm]

Play sheep mod

[eternal palm]

Technically you can go up to 39w

But that's kinda weird to get

[tulip thorn]

How could one achieve this

I wish to know thy methods

[oak mantle]

Technically you can go up to 50 width but its not very optimal

[eternal palm]

Mot AA

So on Russia when you cant have air you rush AA3 and have 3 line aa in your tanks

[tulip thorn]

50 width best width fr fr

Who needs to fit into combat on anything other than plains

[uneven sorrel]

soviet union

[eternal palm]

?

[oak mantle]

This is rage bait right

[heavy topaz]

they have so many planes

[uneven sorrel]

not russia - soviet union

[tulip thorn]

Let me do that rq

[eternal palm]

@oak mantle you never played mp u better not talk

It's not

[tulip thorn]

Same difference

[oak mantle]

U only need 1 line aa if u have 1941 anti air tech with support aa

[heavy topaz]

ahh

[eternal palm]

But you wouldnt know anyhow

[oak mantle]

u obviously dont

[uneven sorrel]

the Soviet Union consists of 15 countries

[eternal palm]

Pedantic ass hole

That really needed to be said

Yes I am fully aware

You know what I fking meant

[oak mantle]

Creapage doing what he does best; misinformation

[uneven sorrel]

stupid Western European

[eternal palm]

Assuming where I'm from now

[eternal palm]

Insane

I am fully awaee

Yet it is not relevant

[oak mantle]

@eternal palm if u think ur right how much aa do u need in a division for the 75% reduction against air now in the new patch

[eternal palm]

[tulip thorn]

Idk Creep never had a swastika in his name sooooo

see this is what i like

[eternal palm]

How can someone be so mad 💀

[tulip thorn]

Projection

[oak mantle]

<@&846894118219022336> Foul language

[eternal palm]

And called Russia the Soviet Union and he loses his shit

Kek

[hollow pulsar]

I'm trying to work on my MPH degree. Behave please.

[tulip thorn]

Does it 100% matter if we call it Russia?

This is a silly little war game

[hollow pulsar]

We're moving on.

[vocal bolt]

question

how do I go about this

[uncut pollen]

https://tenor.com/view/waking-up-anger-the-undertaker-wwe-gif-15072678

[tulip thorn]

Go about what?

[vocal bolt]

this

I cannot go for naval landings

[hollow pulsar]

Would anyone else like to be muted?

[heavy topaz]

because the soviet union was ethnically politically and economically dominated by russia

[vocal bolt]

and airdrops get encircled and cooked

[tulip thorn]

You could either build a navy

Paradrop

[uncut pollen]

Good luck and have fun

[vocal bolt]

austria hangary I just got my first battleship

no starting coastline hurts

[tulip thorn]

Make a small navy and naval bombers

[vocal bolt]

plus they gotta go through the strait

[wide osprey]

weather: very cold
looks inside
-4°

[vocal bolt]

how do I do that

[hollow pulsar]

it's almost 6 am and I've been up all night exhausted because of executive dysfunction and dissociation, it's not fun despite me loving the field

[tulip thorn]

You research paratroopers

[vocal bolt]

if I drop in a place the enemy infantry just encircles me

[hollow pulsar]

but thank you friend

[vocal bolt]

I dropped in london

[tulip thorn]

Get a port

paradrop on a port in more northern parts of uk

Since it has 0 AA

[sly venture]

congrats italy it only tok you 7 years

[vocal bolt]

could I possbily just capitulate them just by paradropping the main victory points

[tulip thorn]

Its possible

But the ai does keep troops on vps when they can

[vocal bolt]

how many paradrop divs would I need

[uncut pollen]

Ouch

[vocal bolt]

I dropped on london with no resistence

[tulip thorn]

Then how ever many it takes to paradrop on each major vp

[vocal bolt]

I can only have 12 paratroopers tho

special unit limit

[sly venture]

is this winnable

[tulip thorn]

Spam inf

[vocal bolt]

ok so the best thing to do is build a navy then drop into a port and then land

[tulip thorn]

The more units you have, the higher the special forces limit

[vocal bolt]

I am super low in manpower

I guess ill have to sit it out

[vocal bolt]

real question is

is this losable

[tulip thorn]

Just paradrop on northern ports

[vocal bolt]

you got like a massive number advatage

[tulip thorn]

Move in your main army

and you win

[vocal bolt]

wont the british navy sink my shit

[tulip thorn]

Naval bombers

[vocal bolt]

I dont have plane designer btw

so I might not be able to do it as efficently as you might

[heavy vigil]

hiii

[vocal bolt]

also

[sly venture]

HOW IS IT ALL RED

ITS ALL RED

[vocal bolt]

do you have cas going

[sly venture]

oh yea i forgot about that

[vocal bolt]

[violet veldt]

and??

transition goals tbh

[sly venture]

ITALY DID A WAR AGAINST JAPAN

WHAT ARE WE DOING BRO

[vocal bolt]

hoi4 player fr

you must have atleast 500 hours

[violet veldt]

just call me a slur (most of these hours are probably fake)

[tulip thorn]

no

[violet veldt]

thank ❤️

idk i use it as an expression 😭

[hollow pulsar]

Hello child :)

Please keep the chat relevant to HOI4!

[vocal bolt]

pluh

[heavy vigil]

how are you mom?

[hollow pulsar]

no

i am not anything i am just bleh

[vocal bolt]

does the game ever end ?

[heavy vigil]

hug

[vocal bolt]

do I just keep going till I get wiped out or I wipe the entire world out

[hollow pulsar]

it "ends" at 1948 with the scoreboard but you can keep playing forever

[violet veldt]

this is more close to my real hour

[vocal bolt]

ah

do the wars stop after that

[hollow pulsar]

nope they only continue

[vocal bolt]

the ongoing ones

:(

I gotta naval invade uk and japan

[hollow pulsar]

the scoreboard comes up and you can hit "continue playing" or something like that

[tulip thorn]

Why would the rest of them on steam be fake?

[vocal bolt]

with a signular battleship

[violet veldt]

afk

[hollow pulsar]

yeah you still have to sucks to be you

[violet veldt]

a lot

[vocal bolt]

menus etc

[tulip thorn]

ah

[violet veldt]

just forgetting to close the game too is a big one

my steam hours are heavily inflated

[vocal bolt]

even the client counts towards playtime

[tulip thorn]

I knew this

[vocal bolt]

awesome sauce

[hollow pulsar]

I remember racking up 4,000 hours in the Sims 4 but most of it was sitting at the menu

bc I open it and then can't decide on what i want to do

HOI4 is much of the same except I have an actual life so it sits there open

[tulip thorn]

Me everytime I open literally anything

I've probably spent hours and hours just looking at the hoi4 map deciding what to do

Same with vic 2

[safe wing]

Hey Shion

[hollow pulsar]

"you need 1,000 hours to play Germany in our mp game"

[hollow pulsar]

"it's a beautiful day outside time to beat the peasants with a stick" -Russia probably

[south mountain]

Is this good chat?

[tulip thorn]

You might want to deal with japan

[vocal bolt]

nah bro

live and let live fr

[prisma saddle]

what is the most optimal task force for submarines?

[sly venture]

we cant push

[vocal bolt]

build supply hubs

also stop attacking lmao

just wasting manpower rn

[snow rain]

• don't attack if you're losing
• organize your frontlines properly
• supply is essential
• units must be manned and equipped, if it's not full, don't attack, if it's below 60% strenght, it's better if the div is deleted entirely
• use divisions that are maded to atk to attack. If a div has less than 200 breakthrough, don't attack with it unless you have total air supremacy and CAS

[modern torrent]

how do people genuinely push the ussr

i always declare war on ghem and they deploy every damn division in their army on the border

[violet veldt]

probably op tanks and cas

[solemn bay]

Is this new?

[ripe slate]

Yes

1.17.4 feature

[solemn bay]

Finally, now I can see the other dlc backgrounds

[modern torrent]

i barely understand the tank and division editor

how do i know if my tanks/ divisions are good

[onyx vapor]

how do i not get 🍇 ed by germany as poland

[scarlet badger]

give up danzig

[onyx vapor]

and what if i wanna actually play the game and fight germany ✌️

[scarlet badger]

🤷‍♂️

[sly venture]

its all red

[scarlet badger]

maybe hold in areas with good terrain and expect to lose land?

[sly venture]

yea we got stalin grad

[scarlet badger]

oh that was a reply to the other question

[sly venture]

oh k

LETS GOOOO

[scarlet badger]

nice

[south mountain]

What is a fun nation in RT56 ahistorical mode?

[vocal bolt]

for the love of god

supply your troops

[south mountain]

I doubt that is the problem

[vocal bolt]

It is a part of it

south of the frontline is all undersupplied

[south mountain]

The problem might be that he is wasting resources.

[vocal bolt]

yeah that too

still tryna force attack

[south mountain]

He also has no tank division in his game.

[vocal bolt]

I mean

you can do fine without tanks

he can honestly just win if he stops attacking

he has like twice to divs compared to the soviets

[south mountain]

He has like 40% strength.

[vocal bolt]

Could be solved by stopping the offensive

[south mountain]

And no supplies

[south mountain]

Nah

[vocal bolt]

why does he have supply issues tho

is it production or just lack of hubs

[south mountain]

Probably both

[vocal bolt]

he has 500 factories

[south mountain]

He has no fuel btw

[vocal bolt]

prob good that he didnt go tanks then

[south mountain]

It looks like Italy and Romania carried his playthrough as Germany in this hoi4 game.

[violet veldt]

??

Algospeak ahh

[vocal bolt]

yeah romania might just take moscow

[violet veldt]

The shareholders need the money

[south mountain]

Germany is the 2nd strongest country in hoi4.

[azure palm]

after who?

[vocal bolt]

ussr

[azure palm]

Ahh

[vocal bolt]

best start right

[sly venture]

is this winnable

[azure palm]

yes, but with time britain, japan, china and the US are better

[azure palm]

yes.

[vocal bolt]

encircle em

you are abbout the get a massive pocket

[azure palm]

hes already doing that it seems

[scarlet badger]

yeah if you get your division strength up

[south mountain]

No

[vocal bolt]

luxemburg ?

[sly venture]

YES YES YES

[south mountain]

USA is the strongest country in HOI4

[azure palm]

no

[vocal bolt]

reinforce the thinnest part of the pocket

they can still break free

then we ball

[south mountain]

They still have supply

[ripe slate]

@sage anvilEnglish only

[scarlet badger]

is cas way worse in this update?

[azure palm]

what did he say?

[azure palm]

I dont think any changes to air were made

[vocal bolt]

why is anti air so op

its free piercing which makes anti tank basicaly useless

[azure palm]

breathrough I think. And piercing

[azure palm]

yes

[vocal bolt]

yeahthe piercing baffles me

[azure palm]

also it gives anti air soo

I have written 2000 messages in this server I think and now its 2001

[sly venture]

THEY BROKE IT

BUT WE DID IT AGAIN

[vocal bolt]

hows romania doing

[sly venture]

YES YES YES

[vocal bolt]

can you send us the casualties

also gawd damn why is your intel so low

cant even see the div count

[scarlet badger]

nice

[sly venture]

all u neeed to know is that

i have 10 million

[vocal bolt]

I wanna see romania

they are balling rn

they even got kiev

[scarlet badger]

i’m surprised that they got the caucuses

[vocal bolt]

Not suprising imo

our germany over here was doing terribly at the start

kinda got bailed out by the romanians

[sly venture]

we are also in a war against japan

[vocal bolt]

I was half expecting them to get to moscow before hippo

[vocal bolt]

that changes nothing rn

they cant do anything

[sly venture]

yea i know

[vocal bolt]

build up navy

or paratroopers

[sly venture]

thanks god i got rid of the uk early

[sly venture]

i have 350 cruisers

[vocal bolt]

build landing craft

[mental mantle]

Why do I lose Nanjing and Chongqing in under a year when I play china? The units are 2 combat width and japan has 20

[sudden thistle]

2 combat width is horrible

[scarlet badger]

your diva or theirs

[mental mantle]

Its base hoi4 too

[scarlet badger]

*divs

[mental mantle]

I tried to get the coastal achievement

[mental mantle]

Theirs is 20, mine are 2-4

[sudden thistle]

Why are ur divs that small

[scarlet badger]

use the divisions they give you

[vocal bolt]

yeah lmao

[scarlet badger]

I like the garrison ones

[vocal bolt]

whats a 2 witdh gonna do

[vocal bolt]

read the name bro

they are garrisons

they cant do much in combat

[scarlet badger]

it’s good at defending the coast though

[sly venture]

i think we saved it

[vocal bolt]

stop pushing PLEASE

cose up the pocket first

how are you red on an encriclement

[scarlet badger]

wait how did they get to your cores?

[vocal bolt]

romania hard carry

[sly venture]

romania with the 2% war participation

[south mountain]

What?

[south mountain]

Wrong reply

[scarlet badger]

I think he carried Romania too much

[prisma quartz]

No, they are not

[scarlet badger]

how come?

[prisma quartz]

Garrisons are used to supress uprisings in conquered lands, nothing else.

Literally nothing else, youmight as well put up no resistanceat all, because anything will cutthrough 2/4width like butter.

[scarlet badger]

i’m talking about the 2x2 division from waking the tiger

[sly venture]

counterattack time

[prisma quartz]

Send a pic.

Sounds like an 8 width, which is still terrible.

[vocal bolt]

micro your troops

[sly venture]

that is what am doing

[prisma quartz]

Real

[vocal bolt]

also

id make the frontline narrower

romania can hold its own (hopefuly)

[sly venture]

FUUUUUU

[vocal bolt]

how did that happen

HOW DID YOU LOSE BERLIN

[scarlet badger]

i’ll pull it up later

[sly venture]

we got it back

also spain died

[vocal bolt]

guard your coatsline

[sly venture]

i am doing that

we also have naval superiority everyuwhere

idk hopw that happended

[modern torrent]

bro HUH

[south mountain]

He has very bad units in this game.

They are at like 30% strength.

[scarlet badger]

i think he just left it unoccupied

probably both actually

[warm palm]

What is the point of interception mission, isnt that just air superiority mission without the air superiority?

[sly venture]

ggs

[vocal bolt]

romania lowkey gonna be a superpower

you better shaft them in the peace deal

[scarlet badger]

did finland sign another white peace?

[modest snow]

why do u have like 6 frontlines

[sly venture]

yes

[heavy topaz]

because field marshal front line acts really stupid

[modest snow]

but u can hold shift while doing it

[scarlet badger]

but what if there were multiple field marshals?

[modest snow]

but who uses 2 for russia

[scarlet badger]

wait fr?

[trim lotus]

The gall. Poland is part of the Axis alongside Mexico. Mexico, whilst the rest of its faction is getting utterly trashed, decides to take a swipe at a tiny island nation. Said nation comes to me for help.

Poland then asks me for docking rights, while I am at war with their erstwhile faction leader.

[scarlet badger]

“worst they can say is no”

[sly venture]

OMG THIS IS TERRIFYING HOW ARE THEY PUSHING ME BACK

[modest snow]

you can jus encircle them and they never deploy divs

[vocal bolt]

did romania get moscow

[patent thistle]

has someone an updated version of the kamchatka sub mod for TNO?

[sly venture]

bro romania has 1% war contri

[scarlet badger]

check your division strength

[sly venture]

nah we are not pushing em back

[scarlet badger]

how much equipment do you have?

[patent thistle]

.

[scarlet badger]

in your stockpiles

[modern torrent]

ive encircled all their divisions

[oak mantle]

I think the german ai might be fried idk tho

[sly venture]

[terse linden]

Is anyone having problems with multiplayer? It's practically impossible to play.

All my friends have a lot of lag (even when we changed hosts) Did something happen or is it something local?

[prisma saddle]

well taths a win i guess

[heavy topaz]

ive always thought they should do it off of ic lost

[scarlet badger]

good work bro

[timid kettle]

@terse nexus I was trying to improve your non alligment

[dawn marlin]

😭

[south mountain]

Is this good? ]

[prisma quartz]

what will you use it for?

[heavy topaz]

line arty is pretty bad

[prisma quartz]

25 combat width is not commendable

[south mountain]

Alright

[prisma quartz]

but thats just efficiency maxing, will work fine in single player

[heavy topaz]

urban combat width is divisable by 20 i reccomend 20 width

[prisma quartz]

if you use this division on a tile alone it will be ok though

if you have other divs in the same tile they will become useless

[south mountain]

I am not playing by the meta btw.

[prisma quartz]

apparently

[prisma quartz]

if you get a sneaky naval invasion with one of those you can walk around pretty unbothered, unless there is tanks

[sly venture]

It took 5 years to take the Soviets as Germany is this good

[prisma saddle]

good heavy ship?

[opal nymph]

That is a chonky boy

[oak mantle]

Hell naw

[oak mantle]

Who would have guessed

[opal nymph]

Usually you can win through the operation barbarossa spirit

Even without collabs in singleplayer

[oak mantle]

Barb without collabs is torture

[opal nymph]

I capped the Soviets without leningrad or the Urals without them

Just inflict 7 mil casualties in 1 year and it does the trick

[oak mantle]

Its 100% possible but why put yourself through that

[opal nymph]

I was the UK

[oak mantle]

Oh

[opal nymph]

I wanted to test my 21 km/h armored cars

They overran the frontline basically

I had to invade from the caucuses

Turns out, they still move at 1 km/h in deep snow

But, I encircled a crap ton of stuff and overran more

[terse nexus]

Thanks man

[oak mantle]

How are the soviets still not able to push bruh

I launched d day the first day of the germans invading the soviets

[quiet vessel]

austria hungry

[opal nymph]

Soviet incompetence strikes again.

I swear they need to have the Germans at 100% eco of conquest to begin to push back

[oak mantle]

I only get 35% of the peace deal when i done quite literally everything

At least i get greenland

[opal nymph]

Oh, couldn't even get yalta?

Where you can get an easy puppet

[oak mantle]

I did i just made sure to get greenland

[steel zephyr]

is this tuff

35% attack and defence in snow, 40% speed

[oak mantle]

This might be the worst thing ive ever laid my eyes on

[somber dawn]

we need two fro 2vs2 in comander mods dm me

[south mountain]

The one with the lowest numbers

[nocturne cedar]

i WISH so hard to attack here, but their tanks are too goated

[nocturne cedar]

so here? I managfed to hold onto Las Pegasus, but they spammed a bunch of troops there

i mean, they're overstretched like me, won't hurt to try again

@south mountain ?

[south mountain]

You can encircle them

[steel zephyr]

😢

[nocturne cedar]

told you

they are not holding

[steel zephyr]

bro its just my troops on the soviet border I cant divert any more off 😭

[nocturne cedar]

air situation?

whats ur div temp´late?

[steel zephyr]

mostly this, with boosts it gets to 200-300 breakthrough and even more attack

[zenith charm]

why aint he giving up smh

[nocturne cedar]

thats terrible

this should be your pushing infantry

[steel zephyr]

it does the job

and i havent got the mp for more infantry battalions

[nocturne cedar]

if you need 2 divs to attack 1, then something's terribly wrong with ur template lol

[steel zephyr]

i dont need to, but i just do a lot of concentrated attacks to form small soviet pockets to wither their front even more

like here

[nocturne cedar]

the design ive sent can push like, 3-4 divs with just 1 inf template

[nocturne cedar]

then use motorized

motorized is perfect for pocket forming

[steel zephyr]

havent got the trucks

[nocturne cedar]

nono, motorized

not mechanized

[steel zephyr]

i get pretty nice movement bonuses with this template to the point i can overun soviet infantry

[steel zephyr]

motorized uses trucks

in snowy forests alone i get a +80% or so movement boost

[sharp sierra]

such a weird path

[steel zephyr]

soon

[nocturne cedar]

secret path?

[sharp sierra]

yea

[steel zephyr]

💀 gg

[nocturne cedar]

its not "GG"

just retreat

build lvl 4 forts

retreat to ur homeland

:D

[steel zephyr]

already fortified that but man might aswell quit rather than go that path

ill jsut be defending finland for the rest of the game

ill try quickly cap the soviets while i can and then retreat

[nocturne cedar]

whats ur current MP btw?

[steel zephyr]

15k, just mobilized a new army to hold in the balkans

gonna have to go to all adults serve for a bit

[sharp sierra]

did u wait a day

prob not the issue but eh

[unkempt meteor]

Are there any mods that let you use the tank or plane designers without dlcs? I’m too broke to buy the dlcs and I don’t want to yarr them

[steel zephyr]

shit

germany capitulated before i could capitulate the soviets

yeha its joeover

i mean atleast i got an achievement from this

even if by accident

[sharp sierra]

which one were u going for

i think i got all my finland ones

[steel zephyr]

i got all finland ones except from uralic brothers united

well im gonna have to leave it here then

atleast i dealt a nice blow to the soviets

good chunk of all achievements i got are finnish

5/21 from finland

[sharp sierra]

looks like i only need two arms against tyranny for finland to be done

[steel zephyr]

been trying the uralic one for so many times

i had like probably 5 or 6 close calls

but either hungary or the estonians were off limits

tyty

[lament plover]

My bad i saw next election

[undone vale]

oh i forgot to remove that 😭

obviously arent supposed to have elections oops

wait why is he democratic

[low sentinel]

theres no mods that do that, idk the specifics but the games hardcoded to forbid that from happen since it bypasses paying for the dlc which is a no no, tldr no and its impossible to do, although probably ask someone who knows more about it than i do

[restive estuary]

yo did the new patch break map gui for modded games (i.e) kaiserredux??

[undone vale]

yes

[vocal bolt]

the mods that do tank design etc base it off of the dlcs too

its simply impossible

[undone vale]

if only i figured out how to fix this 😭

[restive estuary]

darn it bruhh i wanna do my vlaslov russian federation runn

[lament plover]

I mean how did you do this, how did you remove all the States, when I try doing that and go into debug mod it crashes

[undone vale]

just remove all country tags

[lament plover]

Thanks

[undone vale]

create this in country_tags and leave it empty, maybe add a comment

that removes all tags.

you also need to remove all events and decisions or they will all fire at once

[lament plover]

Thx

[sly venture]

I beat them

[vocal bolt]

can you show us the casualties of both sides

[last swift]

I always hate when they do that

[modern torrent]

we are about to win in africa

[vocal bolt]

do you have la resistance

[sly venture]

the end casualties were 11 million for me 11 million for the Soviets

[sly venture]

no

[vocal bolt]

ah

[sly venture]

I am planning to get it tho

[vocal bolt]

having collab goverments could help with soviets

[cyan prairie]

gentlemen

should my SS mechanized be 3 mech 3 motorised inf?

[sly venture]

I have by blood alone,no step back,bospherous and gotterdamrung

[vocal bolt]

five hundred cavarly

[cyan prairie]

.

[sly venture]

[vocal bolt]

very

[cyan prairie]

why cav unc

[ivory hull]

yes its horrible

[vocal bolt]

cool

I like horses

[sly venture]

but we won

[vocal bolt]

you just crippled yourself for the next 3 years

[sly venture]

so it’s fine

[ivory hull]

you could have won with like 500k casulties

[vocal bolt]

11 mil casualty is just almost impossible to bounce back from

[sly venture]

it was my first time attacking the Soviets

[sly venture]

I have like 5 million army

[ivory hull]

yea ok then its lwk fine

[vocal bolt]

atl ike 10% strenght

[sly venture]

and 5 million on the map

now do I attack Japan or amarica

America

[vocal bolt]

are these good for first dlc ?

[sly venture]

I am already in a war with America

[vocal bolt]

cover your ports

[sly venture]

I would say get gotterdamrung

[sly venture]

I meant in a war with Japan

America and I have a non aggressive pack

[ivory hull]

get nsb and götterdämmerung and la resistance

[vocal bolt]

Btw it might be better to naval invade south america

then fight america from the ground

[ivory hull]

you have the british navy or not?

[sly venture]

I would say as first dlc you should get la resistance,no step back and by blood alone

[vocal bolt]

what does götter add

[sly venture]

yes

I have like 300 ships

[dusky burrow]

Yes

[ivory hull]

special projects and focus trees

[dusky burrow]

arms against tyranny and by blood alone would be my next two picks

[ivory hull]

yea then your fine

[sly venture]

the moment France dies I always instantly kill the uk

[lament plover]

Not battle for bosphorus

[sly venture]

it’s a very scare country

[vocal bolt]

tyranny seems cool bc of sweden tree

[viscid mason]

LR and NSB are pretty good. I would recommend AAT and BBA next

[vocal bolt]

idk about by blood alone tho I am still not great with air and naval

[viscid mason]

BBA only has the plane designer mtg is the boat designer

[sly venture]

you get quality of life

It’s worth it

[vocal bolt]

better now ?

[vocal bolt]

mtg is free

[sly venture]

also I just hit 100 hours on hoi4 nice

[viscid mason]

i know

[sly venture]

Why are they so cheap bro

[lament plover]

Damm the French really click the button, I only ever seen this form once

[vocal bolt]

wdym

prob regional prices

thats why

[sly venture]

for me arms against tyranny is 25 dollars

[viscid mason]

i think gg.deals has some good deals if you buy from other official key shops

[vocal bolt]

regional prices

Was there an Update that changed the focus 'Proclaim the Austrian Empire'?

[ivory hull]

change it to what?

[modern torrent]

W encirclement

[azure palm]

I remember it giving cores

I am so sure it gave cores...

[ivory hull]

i dont think so

[unkempt meteor]

Oh fie

[restive sable]

i dont ever remember getting cores from it

[azure palm]

Then how am I supposed to core galicia?

Or Yugoslavia?

Slovakia?

Transylvania?

[ivory hull]

doing the formable doesnt core that?

[restive sable]

pretty sure austria-hungary is the one that gives cores

for some reason

[azure palm]

Austro-Hungarian empire doesnt core galicia

[ivory hull]

yea ig then you dont core

[azure palm]

but I definitely had a core on it at some point...

[ivory hull]

maybe you had mods

[azure palm]

no... I never used mods...

[ivory hull]

you should

mods are fun

[azure palm]

Im currently just watching a bittersteel video from 3 years ago to find out if I remember it wrong...

[azure palm]

I know, I know, I just wanted achievements

[mental mantle]

Mods are necessary imo

[ivory hull]

yea definitely

[mental mantle]

Base hoi4 without dlc is abysmal

[ivory hull]

without dlc is even worse

than dlc vanilla

[azure palm]

apparently it never gave cores

[ivory hull]

yea idk how you thought it did

[azure palm]

but I could definitely core it somehow... I am sure of it...

Or are all moderators in this server considered volunteers.

Are expensive planes better in this game

Like

[heavy topaz]

air attack is the only stat you really care about

[modern torrent]

idk i just make planes

[heavy topaz]

latest model 4x machine guns

[south mountain]

What is better, 500 cheap planes or 50 expensive planes

[uncut pollen]

https://tenor.com/view/money-wallet-broke-gif-7855913

No

[heavy topaz]

that really depends on what makes them expensive

[south mountain]

Like production costs

[heavy topaz]

i know im saying certain things are bait like double engine is genrally not good

[uncut pollen]

We are all volunteers

[south mountain]

Also

Are very cheap tank divisions in this game good?

Like light tanks whose template can be easily produced in hoi4.

[heavy topaz]

light tanks are not good in basically any context

How many mils should I have on tanks and planes generally in hoi4?

[heavy topaz]

ill tell you a big thing in hoi4 tanks do nothing at all unless you have air superiority

[supple summit]

Yo lads quick question is it just me or is HOI4 multiplayer just broken?

[heavy topaz]

so if thats enouugh planes to get air sup than sure build tanks

[south mountain]

How many mils do you have on fighters?

[heavy topaz]

ive heard people are having issues

Oh damn because me and like 7 other dudes keep on either desyncing or we are just being kicked
