def getting thunder at our gates day 1 for Australia
i always wanted an aussie rework
dream come true
not many good mods either
for Australia
I always wanted a commonwealth rework in general
Australia and Canada have pretty good potential
Emu war mechanic 🔥 🙏
Yes
with huge horse buffs
They had a big empier
Cavalery
If they give Mongolia a proper tree, make them be able to have very big buffs for horses
its the only way
Yes
Yes
I would also like speed buffs for other things like mech and tanks
I want an armored car designer ngl
imagine being able to use armored cars as a sort of tank alternative for minors with bad economies
cars have so much potential
old enough
I guess in this timeline, Erich Hartmann lied about his age to get into the Luftwaffe.
when do i get this fella back
Gotta get another spy to break them out
Also I'm pretty sure after a certain time they just straight up die
lore accurate state of the Luftwaffe in 1944
well maybe not the ace part
i gotta take a break from this for a while
everyone is in britains faction i got no steel
uk has a war goal on me so i cant leave the faction to duplicate manpower either
my capital hub is still in iceland so ill get wrecked by subs
when doing the beaten but not defeated civil war path as ussr is the civil war easier if you delete all of your army before the war?
whats a standard ic for fighter
brazil i annexed
she should have died 900 days ago
like 35 ic but it depends
this design have more thrust than weight so its not good
son you need more thrust than weight 🤤
no they should be equal
🫃
best pilot they've ever seen
Hi there folks
hello
How are u
bad
$40 and also like ecuador gets a tree or w/e
Why no supremacy:((
Look at the base from which the aircraft is taking off.
Its not far plus its heavy fighters
Aren't there too many air squadrons?
Well, that was fun
I conquered China and that’s about it
China went fascist and attacked everyone they got overextended and I was able to capitalize
howd u take over so much land while playing as iceland?
okay 400 factories wth
i capped netherlands with 5 units
The fourth international got very big took all of Europe plus some of those states I want I tried to fight them, but it didnt go well
My Chinese puppet got infiltrated to high heaven and lost half the country so not possible
The AI can’t hold its liquor
They nerfed japan so hard in this new update
i cant even complete ichi go now
in a year
Eh , I have a problem with not being able to defeat Soviet China
They have so many buffs plus terrain that it makes killing them hard
They’re fun to play, but extremely tedious to defeat Chinese or Japanese
yeah fair
i normally just ignore everyone except china
and its odd cuase i could win with only like 100 days after completing ichi go
but now its much harder for some reason
I got lucky with this game against China as they went fascist and attacked everyone stretching their numerous units fin
I was able to run them down with help from the other warlords, they pissed off
too much stuff to do in too little time
Yeah, they expect you to fight China well attacking Southeast Asia
Historical yes but taxing Yep
okay one year to do this
you've really gotta strike indonesia and malaya first
well i wanna do it in 100 days like i do before
unless you can spare forces for the philippines i don't think it's worth it
you've also gotta manage your navy perfectly
but like now china gets volunteers from ussr now? and they all place on the captial which is literally impossible
I’ve seen the AI US one shot Japan after they take out Germany
the AI US is either king von or actual ass
A competent US is actually scary otherwise you just gotta hope that the neutral
i'm a US main and i've got the whole game optimized
it's pretty easy
i need to learn Japan but it'll be much harder
If you go non-historical you can stop the timer but if you go historical, just make sure you’re on China
i think i need to start making mountaniers
The Navy you can subdue to give yourself some breathing space
I have basically ignored them until 1945 without issue
yeah these volunteers literally stop from rushing once you get a break in the line
one of the biggest incirclements ever
in one of my annoying soviet saves
A.
.
653 deaths 💀
You already lost
unless your a hoi4 god theres no way ur beating them atp
i was too slow
like i rushed there capitals
wow nice work
before they got soviet support
Now gl pushing through siam
yeah i was playing to cautious
i couldnt do it myself
oh siam?
i meant
thats easy
20 allied divisons on 1 jungle tile
nice
why is playing on non historical in the 1940s a genuine warzone 😭
WHAT mod allows you to achieve this 🙏🙏
road to 56 formable nations
Wym? Just blow up the usa navy its easy
does it count as a wc if my puppets control the rest of the globe?
i mean you've gotta have it divided well
winning isn't hard, setting it up is
I'm not so sure about this event...
I think maybe, just maybe, I could send one of my 621 idling convoys to go buy bananas.
How does one accomplish these massive encirclements
Not really, have some patrol fleets and the strike force
The usa will come to you
I just fought america as britan in like 37
i have the ss somewhere lemme get it
The earlier you do it the worse america is
oh.
that game was in '39
no wonder they were alot tougher.
I was gonna say that but my adhd kicked in and i forgor 💀
oh and btw..
Ive learned that you dont need a good navy
u just need good screening.
If that had been japan in like '41 when they werent getting their butts kicked that would've been a slaughter.
they didnt have too many ships left 💀
Dont even need good screening tbh
Like 2 carriers 2 battleships and a bunch of destroyers basically destroys any navy
actually.. yeah that was a slaughter, i just realized that was an entire navy.
yep, just deleted the entire japanese navy.
sounds accurate.
they had their subs scattered
i did sink a decent ammount of them.
Buncha map work and I only got this side of the US reworked 🥀
Do iowa you coward
Give me my 100 counties
French are cooked
Why is italy beating you to paris?
Thats fascist france
Not italy
France
Why is italy there though?
Its not?
you should have the historical texas borders in colorado
Im just having 10 divisions death charge towards paris while my other ones deal with belgium
Right before the war I built a maginot line of my own
hi
Trying historical UK for the first time.
I have so much hate for Belgium right now. The Netherlands is being invaded, but Belgium is being neutral.
Perhaps the Hitchhiker's Guide was right about Belgium.
When will paradox add hot yaoi to hoi4?
Replace Hirohito and FDR with hetalia versions of Japan and America and make them kiss
Make love not war
walking through the 50 million midwest tiles with no supply chills
i love how my allies don’t help me at all to try to encircle enemy divs but when i actually do encircle them they start attacking the encirclement at the speed of light and get all of the kills and war effort
very fun mechanic that isn’t super irritating
you don’t
heresy!
you have a better chance at winning the lottery
Does anyone know of any mods that make it so the Axis can peace out with the Allies? I hate having to leave my game as a minor nation like that. I was supposed to get my chunk of Ukraine since I tried fighting them 1v1 (I have a mod that makes it so Ukraine and Belarus start as independent nations) but those cowards joined the Allies so I responded by joining the Axis. I got my piece of the USSR after beating them, but unfortunately Ukraine was in the Allies so since neither the USA nor the UK are falling anytime soon I ain't gonna get it. I had to give control of most of Ukraine to Germany since it was draining all of my manpower and equipment,
are you kidding me greece is getting 100% of the credit for MY kills
i hate this game
HEEELLLLL YEAHHHHHH 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🦅🦅🦅 what's up
this has been going on for like 2 years and i haven't gotten a single kill even though my divisions are doing all the work in the battles
Ive awakened them
say hello to freedom
Giant go to sleep the soviet union is dead
teeth
The french (kinda(
smell
The soviets too
starvation
Nice talk about starvation when you have the banana republics
you're namedropping FRANCE but not CANADA
i wonder how canada will look like
And poverty in your own country
Canada literally did more than the UK in WWII
that's a hot take i know but look at the industry
Mate
Mate
You dont know anything
Rearrange your neural wires please
can't hear you over the GOLD MEDAL IN HOCKEY
Literally take your neurons or wtv theyre called and unplug that shit and plug it back in
The
my neural wires run on beer and a bit too much optimism
are you perchance british
W propaganda
Kinda
are you perchance one of the teeth people
i know
i'm so glad my family moved north from Georgia
Im not a real redcoat tho
now i'm Pennsylvanian through and through
i’m american and we couldn’t have won without britain
Im from sc i wanna leave here i hate it here
we couldn’t have won without us either but england did do a ton
we kinda needed a base there so yeah
And the soviets but it was a team effort
we'd have still folded Japan alone
The soviets invaded manchuria
Its why they surrendered methinks
Not the two big bombs obviously /hj
youthinks wrong ngl
reinforce memes gonna make me crash out omg
its not THE reason but coupled with the bombs it was a major factor
k where was this button all my life
japan didn’t want to be occupied by the soviets
Lowkey japan occupied by the soviets wouldve been peak
Like
From a military perspective
where do you sit on the autism spectrum
just a question
I stand on it
i'm aware
my hot take is we should have made more nukes and dropped like 10 more on japan
No 😭
k is a peak ragebait
Drop one on berlin first buddy
we should've let germany live for 3 more months and destroyed germany's ability to recover
japan were by far the worst in terms of crimes against civilians
not to say germany wasn’t bad in any way
germany was terrible
Lmao not even the germans😭
I mean yeah japan was horrible
we should've nuked soviet occupied berlin just for the hell of it
but japanese war crimes in china involved 5x the amount of people and just as ghastly war crimes against said people
Dont do that
Ost deutchland my beloved (im not a nazi if you are go follow your leader)
all extremists should follow their leaders
No comment
Anarcho-communist
if you want to throw up read about japan’s war crimes and you’ll understand why i think we shouldn’t have stopped with 2 nukes
that tracks
I dont mess with the ussr
The allies were really cooking with this defensive plan, its beautiful, if only it WORKED
Mainly civillian targets btw
i just want Social Democracy but in like an American way
Ooo we should bomb that one japanese family because their conscripted son did horrible things to china
we shouldn't be european or asian or anything we should be american
Like yall didnt exploit chinese mfs for cheap labor for your railroads
but it's clear that we need change
you seem to forget that japan’s “civilians” were prepared to fight for the death in the case of an american invasion and supported war crimes in asia
Pretending to give a shit about asians is crazy
That just sounds racist lmfao
America's whole schtick is taking the best of the world and adding it to the world
Lowkey just bomb them normally okay😭
You dont need nukes
Make dresden look like rough weather but not like with nukes and shit
And bomb factories
Not some random ass house
if you want to throw up read about what they did in nanking
all my allies are USELESS
Ooo all japanese people are this homogenous group and shit
Just like brown eyed people!
I really hate people with brown eyes
we could improve but that's generally true
Theyre inherinrly violent and we should neuter them
/j
Im kidding😭
You do realize japanese mfs are individuals yeah
yeah
Stop doing a franklin roosevelt
Bunching up ethnic groups gets them put in camps
Yall are no better tham the nazis sometimes
You think japan should get nuked becuse you think theyre all brainwashed drones, i think they shouldve been nuked because of their hubris, we are not the same
there were so many other examples of people putting ethnic groups into camps but you chose roosevelt of all people
best president ever btw
Yeah fair
hot take LBJ is a top 3 president for the Great Society Program
i don’t support the japanese camps but they were NOT as bad as the nazi ones dawg
get off of libtok
There are twitter threads everywhere for those with the eyes to see
you're implying that you've done actual research which your takes don't give the impression of at all
Istg im gonna get banned
I think bombing civillians with nuclear weapons is bad actually
Thats the good k:d
Ooo im a silly liberal who is against civillian casualties🥺
isn't that twitter but gay
Like saying all that shit just to let their prime minister get away with it or wtv😭
Didnt shinzo abe deny that shit
And now you guys got yourself in a twist with china
Which yall pretend to give a shit about
Well it was pretty heinous for america. Most of them lived here for generations too.
Yeah because hes an american
Should i bring up jackson?
80k of the 120k who were incarcerated were children or grandchildren of japanese immigrants
Anericans love bombing the civillians of the people who dont look like them for some reason idfk
👁️
Sorry i know we broke rules😭
hey we bombed yugoslavia
I deserve like a week long ban for this shit ngl
don't act like we don't bomb white people
@uncut wraith @violet veldt cease this conversation, #server-rules
Slimmed out in the HOI official discord is insane
Thank you😭
WAKE UP ALLIED AIR COMMAND THEYRE BEATING ME WITH HAMMERS
ts says 3k fighters vs 600 fighters 🥀
i'm sorry for talking politics in a geopolitics game server ☹️
those hoes are up to something
We have hitler in the game you cant talk about politics when hitler is in the game for obvious reasons
Unless its like
Whats that one game
The game where you kill nazis and shit
Wolfenstein?
I think so
Yo
Why is it called alpine offensive shits not even in alpine region
Belgians tweaking fr
AUGHHHHH
it gets worse
slowly but surely the british are losing
So, I'm a bit new to the game. I have a question about factions. I've tried playing as Germany and boosting fascism in minor countries, and eventually they have elections and become fascist. At that point, I try to invite them to the axis but it tells me I can't invite them because they have to be fascist to be in my faction. Does anyone know why that is and if it's possible to get them into my faction?
countries need a certain amount of world tension to join factions if its not a focus
for example bohemian empire is 30% i believe while america is like 70% if its a non historical faction
But even if world tension is at 100% would there be another reason they can't join? I tried it with a couple south american nations when we were well into the war and tension was already at 100%
if youre trying to make austria join the axis (im assuming you are) they cant join any factions until certain focus
mwahaha my colonial empire is born
Check ur faction tab and it shows you the join requirements
what country are you
Germany
Sorry, where is this located?
hi Is stealing blueprints really effective?
There's a certain irony that I'll be driving my (British) tanks through Sedan to cut off and encircle much of the German army.
Yall need a MP
Does anyone know any Asia based hoi4 discord server 🙏
wym click the faction on your diplo tab
How do I get Militia? Do I need to research a specific tech or?
i hate the british so much 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 why are they guarenteeing france in august of 1936 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
brits always gurantee them at 20%-ish tension
god damn it
i can deal with france but not the British AND French
its not that bad
who u playing as
italy
💔
me watching Britian guarentee france 3 days before my justification is done
are you new?
yeah ive been trying to go Withdraw Eithiopia -> Paradrop France -> Invade Republican Spain -> Declare on GB but the last part is what gets me
i mean suez too but gibraltar is right there in europe
why withdraw from Ethiopia?
so i can skip the first couple of focuses and get the 50 PP from foreign relations
bc that will let me declare faster
I lowkey dk whyd you do that coz Ethiopia capitulates rather quickly
whats your focus tree for italy? i havent played italy much but everytime i have its been more annoying than fun
n what r u doing
military wise
spamming factories on transports then fighters so i can hopefully get enough superiority to paradrop in northern france
other day i had 2k planes in northern france and still somehow had red air
play communist china next and do historical mao route its better with learning stuff than italy imo
do you have any bicycle divisions?
ive had (some) success with italy so ive been sticking with that
is that a dlc thing bc if so then no [i have 0 dlcs 😭]\
cuz italy a jack of all trades u really dont gotta focus on the fighting
cuz u got big bro pushing france for u
italy good for learning how to pace and how to build militaries properly id say but prc best for war
let germany handle the brunt of it and just hold them at the alps
entrenchmaxx and like lvl 2-3 fort cuz it 1936
also idk if its some placebo effect sorta situation but it feels like the better relations i have with GB, the longer it takes for them to guarentee france
Naw
well it worked so yay ig! (ignore the points, friend made me get player led peace conferences for a multiplayer game so ive just been using it)
dec 20th, 1936!!!!
what are the parameters for converting foreign aircraft
i can convert their tanks
but i cant their aircraft for some reason
You know, a couple hours ago, I was considering asking for advice on how to gracefully extract the Royal Army from France before it was overrun. I don't think I need that advice anymore.
needs to be same chassis
it is
10 seconds/day 😭
bruh
do you guys think im doing pretty good so far (1941)
Thats nice
I ended the germans
Also
Japan went BANZAAII and declared war on me
And im suffering siberian warfare
hmm...
do i try to invade the U.S or GB mainland first
since i can easily overpower the british airforce
but i dont think i have enough of a navy to invade
whereas if i come up south through mexico, i can land invade the U.S
or i could go and just knock out germany
Soon.
Gb
U can get a foothold in the atlantic
Then invade canada
Push through into the usa
Bomb gb navy
And also send in your navy to the english chan
yeah evacuations can be difficult, but you can probably set up an army with 2 divisions in it and last stand on the ports
while taking the rest of the army out before those divisions
Would lose me two divisions, but let you evacuate the rest of the BEF. Fortunately, in my case, France and I held out long enough to get that third armored division deployed and start making some encirclements, and once you start encircling, it tends to be game over for the AI.
yeah that's very good, unfortunately it's rough having turkey remain out of your grasp
why would i use jet engines?
what about germany first then gb?
speed and agility helps in combat, plus jet engines are cheaper
i'd really suggest uk first if you can
More speed, more agility. I like to use them on my carrier aircraft where range doesn't (to my knowledge) matter much.
you want to take them out before the us enters war, and the uk shouldn't be that hard to take out
alr
U.S is already in allies sadly
and even with range mio i think double plate fighter is better than jet engine fighter with range modules
(Also chromium starts to run out fast, but since you don't need many carrier aircraft...)
yk what i should stop making fighters
You would be surprised
ah i see
oh and they are all boosted af
what's the design?
open your production tab, click the airplane tab, there should be a list of designs you've made and then click the edit button on the right of that design
okay well not incredibly boosted but i got like 4k of these so i think thats pretty good
So, you lack the air designer DLC. With base game, "design" is relatively simple, though generally you always crank the engine to +5 when you have the air XP.
yeah i got no dlc sadly :(
oh
IIRC, base game jets trade aluminum use for tungsten, and the speed helps in combat.
ig just add more ticks to your fighers then
Question what's the best mid game ship design to use?
And also should I use ice carriers?
I prefer them since it simplifies production lines and let's me have better torpedo bombers
Ice carriers are INSANELY expensive is the issue you can build like 2 1940 carriers for the price of one
Caviat being you can run tactical bomber naval bombers
If your confident in your ability to screen the ice carrier sure but otherwise normal carriers would work better
Especially since they will level up the respective MIO
you do get a free one from the special project
Yeah at like 80% construction or smth?
95%
Usually I only build one due to the price
should carry 90 planes which isnt a lot but still
to be fair with fewer carriers you will be able to screen your ice carrier better
I prefer to have multiple task forces so want a few carriers
can be refittable later on xd
cheaper to build another carrier ngl
one med, one atlantic and one pacific?
I think the cost is worth it tbh
Refitting the one you get from the special project is fine
you just need carriers ngl
since you can add 3 slots in addition i believe
Usually one atlantic and one pacific, in the event the med kicks off its really quick to make a new task force from the atlantic and move it
refitting would take so long
Generally I prefer having two carriers in a task force
as britian id just make some 80 slot basic carriers and do 4 per fleet
I do think paradox needs to overhaul naval construction and refitting imo
too much industry
Naval construction is massively inflated compared to what nations were actually pushing out
honestly as britain you don't even need to do that
I mean the US comissioned like 20 essex class in one go lmao
you don't even need to build a single ship
Yeah as the UK I keep my main navy then make a small number of SUPER high quality ships to supplement it
id look at that again, usa was pretty stupid with it but germany only built 4 capital ships and britian iirc built less than 10?
Like modern Illustrious carriers and stuff like that
britian had a massive destroyer problem for most of the war even
ice carriers are more useful if you're say germany, where you can stack a bunch of strategic bombers and bomb literally anywhere
We had 5 King george V class and 5 Illustrious carriers building at once to my knowledge
Yeah
Yes and no, the issue we had was our destroyers were FLEET destroyers which were fast and rubbish for ASW
we had 6 iowas
So the US leased us the slower destroyers which were WAY better for ASW
only 4 built
Our actual fleet destroyer screen was fine
To me its the refit logic that can do with some tweaking
Sometimes it feels like I replace one fire control and the game goes "Yeah thatll cost you a year bud" lmao
honestly refitting guns shouldnt be so bad on battleships
most of them used the same size guns
Engine, guns and armour ofc 100% put the ship out for a year+
Guns are iffy depending on the difference
i mean not really tbh
Like yeah try and slap a 16 inch on a hull with 14 inch guns it sucks
But the US to my knowledge with North Carolina and Washington were originally 14/15inch guns due to the treaty
But they managed to refit them to 16 inch rather quick when Escalator got invoked
Correct me if I am wrong ofc
they were not refitted, the plans were changed mid-construction since they were not at that advanced of a construction stage
Ah so it wasnt a "refit" so to speak the guns werent yet on the hull
It was a simple quick plan change
Yeah originally they would have 15 inch guns but we needed them out
well no
So we opted for supercharged 14 inch which still performed very well
both classes would have 14-inch
because that's what they were restricted to by second london
they would probably have been 15-inch ships if they were able to edit
Yeah I phrased that badly, we strongly considered it but then we did the treaty
Granted the entire idea behind the KGV class was armor
Basically slapped guns on armor
Then wales got an absolute bismarck level hit on her which was insane
yeah the quad turrets weren't that reliable
also the hood which just so happened to displace almost 10000 more tons than the treaty allowed...
hood was pre-treaty and basically grandfathered in
i still like how the americans slapped more armor on old battleships with what the treaty provided
Oh I wasnt referencing the quad turret
that was a known issue
I was referencing her final battle where the torpedo hit didnt get through her protection
But caused her propellor shaft to vibrate and rip open the bulkheads
She resisted the torpedo only for her own machinery to rip open her bulkheads and flood her
ah i see
Many people dont realise how massive Hood actually was
Given she was pre treaty and more meant for the great war
We were pretty scarred by Jutland hence Hood and the KGVS
Our battlecruisers were popping left and right in Jutland
almost as big as Iowa
Shame that Hoods crew made a FATAL mistake with her final battle
well the 4 inch ammuniton's magazine exploded
That was due to Eugen and part of naval warfare tbf
From what was suspected Hoods crew in her guns had the bulkheads open allowing a quicker reload
side effect being if a flash fire happens
It SPREADS
So rather than the flash fire being contained to that one mag which is still catastrophic
It spread through ventilations, into other mags and the machinery rooms
Hood was designed to try and contain a detonation as said Jutland borderline traumatised us in naval design
Who knows if her bulkheads would have fully but at least would have stopped the full chain reaction
from what i understand it wouldnt matter if the bulkheads were open or not since the explosion would have gone through them anyways
It would have lost a ton of power at the least
Dont get me wrong a mag detonation is catastrophic regardless if contained
But at least if you contain it enough the machinery survives theres a chance to limp home
Moment it chains to a second mag though like with hood its just gg
Also cordite powder has a habit of flashing as a propellant but its REALLY good for ballistics
I am waiting for hoi4 discount soo badd on steam i lost my old acc sadlyy btw when will be next discount have any info abt it?
Im not sure tbh the summer sale is the closest I can think unless steam launches another
Historical AI can be funny. Dec 11, Bulgaria joins the Axis.
Also Dec. 11, 1941, British armor is making its marching towards Koslin as part of the final push to capitulate the Axis.
china?
iceland
Truly dedicated if you're doing a world conquest as Iceland
a historical
its only 1946 fighting mega faction british communist alternative
its still horrible
i guess if you do a formable its not bad but eh
I applaud your dedication especially with the new faction system going a bit weird
after i took finland from the ssssr
yeah i accidentally removed a rule in the british faction that said only communists could join
Tried an estonia game and Turkey joined an enemy faction, left it, joined the soviets and called them in, LEFT THAT FACTION and joined the allies
The new faction system was an amazing idea but does have some big issues
so like any nation fighting anybody would just join the faction and get uk involved in every war
I love donating a facility and losing all my influence because they put scientists there lol
Yeah tbh they really need to make it a nation cant leave a faction during the war
So you dont have an AI nation faction hopping due to focuses or smth
And then calling the whole of Europe against you
just make some antisub destroyers and slap a carrier with it
i swear i do that some games and they just driveby half of portugal's subs on the way past the azores 
Huh. Brought this game to a close on Christmas Day, 1941. Neat.
Meanwhile me with full on dedicated ASWs that do nothing while this random ass 1918 destroyer hunts down goddam stealth subs lol
i always convert crap cruisers so i can use the name later so its funny when they just nuke like 40 subs
patrol and slap all the planes on naval and port strike ❤️
Yeah thats a good strat, I should do escort carriers for larp but there is just so much to do
I always build dedicated ASW destroyers and for some reason they just dont detect anything while one of my BBS pulls a warspite and smacks one apparently lol
Yo I invaded poland and I did molotov ribbentrop but Lithuania joined the war so I think it bugged and now Poland isnt being given to russia and theyre justifying on me
Does anybody know what to do
i build around 10 and make a task force dedicated to it
ill have cod wars done in the most up to date version
do you guys think anyone else has done that
i gave up when i got to like 1940 something and only had 10 divs
i capitulated netherlands with 5 marines
i never got special forces tbh
the make cruisers and destroyers with convoys decisions are so clutch
yeah i got bored of having less than 100k manpower (more than the country provided)
Honestly fair
Hi
iceland is hell
Is this bugged? Interception mission efficiency seems to be doing nothing...
bro aint becoming an german leader in 1945 lol
Holy hell France has a MASSIVE fleet
yeah
hehe
He got the high sea fleet treatment there
"Yeah ik you just got smacked by the grand fleet but go out there again"
I holding the maginot line playing defensive and I killed historical guy
wait I didnt really kill
He definitely getting taken to the bunker after that
When raeder failed a surface raid the big boy was MADGE nvm if that happened
HOLY
rip france
124 capitals??
holy sh
Yeah if you did the formable its doable but getthing there would suck
i was just iceland till 1946
didnt really need it cause of the faction manpower dupe
time to redraw the front lines
I just played it for the Brexit achievement
hello yalls
yal
to get new order
do i need
to own stalingra moscow and leningrad?
or just puppet the ussr

small sweden
yes
unhistrocial ahhhh
one simple netherlands infantry beating a german motorised division with about 3 different support companies

oh yes poland lasting longer than france thats so logical

average swedish industry in 1940

slight increase
the factory difference💀
swedish industry is op
what is the oldest mesage
First time trying China. I'm surveying what I have available to me.
... at least I have a large population?
try communist china
its easier and more fun
Yes, indeed. I won't even have this giant abhorrent population to deal with. Simplicity is key.
js on base game
Sinkiang is fun with the DLC
You get to be the Soviet's dog
Or kumul your way
never seen this b4
What's a good combat width for light tanks I intend to use in difficult terrain?
Okay the fact that countries in factions can join other factions is SO annoying there needs to be an option to disable this (and turns off achivments to balance)
36 width and at least use light spgs instead of light tanks
Add horses
It helps
And bikes aswell, big time
And offensive templates should have flame tanks
Yeah
Really??
Light spgs, horses, bikes and flame tanks
What do they add that motorized doesn't?
Yeah but bikes help a bit more
A soul
Ah.
Issue: horses are fuggin slow
Use bikes aswell
this a good space marine template
why the line artillery?
remove it then, 9/1 is fine but dont use it as your main offensive template
armor is pretty low for heavy tank
I assume you are just in 1936 or 37
this game is so boring any1 know some mod recs
old world blues\
@winged field 2x heavy and then no line arty beter ?\
one is enough for space marines, you dont want to make it expensive
since this is still more of a holding template
just don't do space marines
its not good
In MP I assume anti-tank or tank divisions is the easily counter to SMs.
Remove the line arty or the tank or both. SMs are overrated
Kaiserredux
in MP base line inf has anti tank and stats are so high a space marine would get obliterated
I don't know why SMs are banned. They just suck/pointless in MP
armor kinda low
line arty is a waste
maintenance company is useless
where support AA, where support medium flame tank, when engineers/recon rangers/hospital ?
where breakthrough stat ? it must be a bare minimum 150
they used to be broken pre no step back DLC
Someone has cheap but also good templates for infantry?
in mp space marines are banned
usually
9inf, support arty + support AA
will hold the line in almost all situations
Oh thanks
ideally yes but for poorer nations spec ops are alright to push with
and tanks arent invincible depending on the terrain
Can the Reich ever win its civil war?
never seen a victory before and neither have my mates
rare
and players can obv override the loss
if the Reich wins can they even do their focuses?!
Do u like broken arrow
like it more than warno
Bug reports are the best way that PDX team learn about bugs that make it through playtests from the community
is it on the site or discord?
not a bug
wtf?
which means them being non aligned before you do the focus
it doesn't work anymore via civil war?
the website
i mean it could be a bug that it doesn't work with civil war, idk what the intended mechanic is
but you can for sure get cores if you get ot peacefully
paradoxian devs dont interact as much here as on the forums
I can't see the factionalism spirit so I'm not sure if there's gonna be a soviet civil war, but is there a sign something's up
yeah
they get the rhineland focus autocompleted
safe to say still no reich victory seen so far
you can send volunteers for both sides tho
try to help them
with volunteers
💔
❤️🩹
poltiburo national spirit
it appears if they are going with stalin
ah, don't see it yet
pretty standard soviet focuses rn
non-hist ofc
they are scripted to loose the civil war
they aren't going with Stalin
they are doing Beaten but not defeated
no point in trying to save this
oh... that path
Fascist or monarchist?
I can usually tell via looking at their spirts
NA rn
They are going monarchist
I just bought HOI4
missed out on winter sale
-70% off back then, that's when I bought it
Its okay
Why are my units not following the frontlines order in hoi4?
Did you assign them to any other order besides a frontline order?
Especially if you use fallback lines
No but they are not moving to it
Like I deleted the last order and made a new one
Could I get a screenshot perchance?
are WLC and LRPC finnish-exclusive support companies?
LRP yes,
dunno what WLC stands for
winter logistics company
oh wiat, maybe sweden or norway can get LRP as well
gives very nice bonuses in snow
that one probably is too
to the point that finnish infantry in snowy forests can overun
+85% movement in snowy forests, large attack and defence bonus too
if you have both companies on that is
i hate that
This whas so painful
You want those divisions to spread out?
Yes
Unpause and they should spread out, especially if you give them an offensive order
They don't even if unpaused
can yall describe to me the new order mod a little
if ur playing as germany
from what i understand, its 1962 with a lot of focus tree changes and content against you
Change your cohesion to rigid
its so easy to sweep through italy in this game when germany isnt involved
convinced its harder to fight french indochina then italy
But honestly, I wouldn't worry too much since you are winning the war with the Spanish Republic. It's just the game's ai
that was what the allies were hoping from 1943-1945
basically hitler is dying and after his dead gcw happen
a
Your profile is a KSP reference right? 
💔
bcz i forgot to put parachutes
I usually savescum so there no casualties but Im slightly tempted to try hardcore mode
i wanted to do the real solar system mod but found hoi4
bored of this campaign now but im happy
somethings wrong here
what the never enter a faction with fascist germany means?
you need to get till 45 or what
Never join the axis
yeah but
you need to finish the game?
oh ok
Starts world conquest -> conquers USSR -> game gets too slow -> I leave it for another time -> start new game and repeat
or wasnt updated since the last version
Just ragequit bc an encirclement was broken at the last moment
who u playin
hello peak hoi4 gamers
sup chud
I'm a fat bloody chud who loves to play as fascist nations and expand like a virus
bloody cummy chud
That one Japanese mf who fought for the Taliban.jpg
first time as germany rt56
communist argentina supremacy
playing owb for the first time no clue what im doing but its whatever
brazil took 2 months to capitulate
My friend and I want to play some duo playthroughs, any good recommendations. (We did Germany + Italy, France + UK, Germany + France (monarchist), USA + UK)
Are we ever gonna get an update, or if theres a mod, where let's say ur Argentina, brits declare war over Falkland islands or something, and u take over the islands, but yoy have to travel to England to capitulate then, to win the war. Like, a white Peace once core territories are taken
China, and communist China, battle it out at the end
germany - austria-hungary
austria hungary- polish lithiania comonwealth
We want to play with the POWER OF FRIENDSHIP
That's a good idea
Redux is goated
iran iraq
Japan/manchuria
redux all the way
Kaiserredux #1
Wtf are these borders
wtf is going on bro 😭
the world domination one?
We have 3 different focus trees for Germany 😄
i wanna conquer the world
Pure* vanilla, E's vanilla revision default and should be best, and "my"* vanilla revision
Ironman off
Just sort mode by most popular
do the soviets declare war on poland if they manage to hold germany for too long
The normal one??
I lowk dont like kaiserreich/redux that much
Ive tried it before and i didnt get the hype
Buuuuut i did play russia both times
So that might have played a part
world dom or
.
Yes they do
They start justifying
ok so they justify
And then they atac
but not immediately get a wargoal?
But the soviets take a long ahh time to actually declare war
i remember last time i held germany then weirdly enough the soviets declared war without a wargoal
Play Napoleonic France
From my games when I was playing Poland they justified
Maybe they changed it
You got unbanned?
Idk
Yes.
Welcome back
I gotta play the Tsardom mod for Medivial 2
Have fun 
Chat are these numbers alright?
It’s about the Balkans and Italy in the 14th century
14th century is crazy
