i think i finally found a good tutorial for hoi4

#

bitt3rsteel might be the answer to my problems

heavy vigil
#

be aware

#

he quite often gets stuff wrong

surreal swift
#

to be honest its easy to get shit wrong

heavy vigil
#

ofc

#

the only real way to learn is doing math and reading code

#

running tests

#

he doesnt do those

surreal swift
#

i'm more learning the basics like diplomacy, research, and all that

vital cove
#

which he doesn't

no way to mess up martial

just use harsh quotas lol

heavy vigil

in this version+

#

with all the resistance buffs

#

its not too bad

#

it just doesnt give eco is the glaring issue

vital cove
#

harsh quotas reduces resistance too

surreal swift
#

well if listening to bitt3rsteel isnt reccomended what do i do then

heavy vigil

and with eco you can make tank garrisons

And the meta is the most effective strategies to win

does to many cas in one airspace stack or does it get to an limit, is there an thing to have to much cas?

mint adder
#

I play for fun and i dont follow any meta so i always put a lot of it on SHBBs

#

Especially since they’re pretty big and expensive i don’t wanna lose them

#

Yeah i guess it would be a shame to have your mighty ship get sunked by a plane

can someone teach me i just installed and theres so much

I had to lower the armor and remove one main gun otherwise it would have costed 21k IC

And be slow even with 1940 engine

Idr but smth like 28 knots

#

Also did some stupid things and i will get this in late 1942

Hmm speed is important for capitals too?

I havent been playing hoi4 in ages so i dont remember much but

Basically every ship goes at the same speed of the slowest one

scenic moon
mint adder
scenic moon
#

Yeah i meant in battle

mint adder
#

Speed is very important because in summary it makes you less probable to be hit

#

There is some math calculation i forgot but essentialy you dont want a slow fleet

#

Thats why, at least for me since i don’t know what other people do, i always try to reach 30 knots

I played Oman an hour ago I fought Japan, Axis and I would almost fight Comintern if it wasn't for my war score

heavy vigil

its part of the formable and a lot of core pop

#

yemen is rlly good

ember vine
#

Yes

#

But

#

Division spam

heavy vigil
#

yemen starts by far the most powerful

they have the most core pop and best terrain

let me get this right so if i have an army front of 5000 combat width, does that mean i can have an maximum of 15000 CAS to have as much effect from them

those numbers arent

supple mango
#

5000 combat width is impossible

clever shuttle
#

theoretically

#

it could be one million too

#

i hade an army front with 3 216 combat width and that was just against canada, imagine an front against soviet union 5 000 is easily possible

The template designer is the same

#

Between dlc and no dlc

fallen garnet

but how come he has 35.7 combat width, i can only get full numbers

tulip thorn

Doctrine

fallen garnet
#

and he has these weird designs on the side, is it just mod?

tulip thorn
#

Its from doctrines lol

fallen garnet
#

ahh im pretty new here

tulip thorn
#

And the weird ones are probably armored engineers and flame tanks

#

Flames tanks do require no step back

#

armored engineers are base game but are a special project

#

with the land research facility

fallen garnet

I only have one project on land research

tulip thorn

Do it

#

I cant remember what the special project is for the armored engineers

#

But I do know its the one you have

fallen garnet
#

ahh alr

#

do u know which template comes the best without dlc´s

#

im alway trying to use the 36 combat widths ones

#

but I feel like the enemy units are much stronger

tulip thorn
#

I dont

#

I dont know what good templates are without dlc

Since I havent played without dlc well for years at this point

when does third weltkrieg start in kaiserreich

fervent minnow
#

yall how do you find Bulgaria fun bro

#

what am i missing out on

azure walrus
#

i find the aesthetic fun, as well as the compliance buffs

not even in 41 can you recover

azure walrus
# fervent minnow from all the debuffs

i start with the political branch, rush cooperation with the zveno(to not get couped), then do the focuses to get rid of the military restrictions while waiting for democracy support to tick to 15/20%

#

(i dont remember which is needed for illusions of a democratic system)

#

i play monarchist most of time btw

fervent minnow
#

why do you need it

#

to get Fascists in power?

azure walrus
#

to pretend to be democratic

fervent minnow
#

to fool the allies

#

?

azure walrus
#

yeah kinda

#

for one, britain is apparently more likely to lift ur army restrictions if you "lean democratic" (i assume that refers to the illusions?)

azure walrus
#

you just appoint right wing ministers and do that side of the tree

fervent minnow
#

yes i know but think about it

#

if you get the fascists to win whenever the elections happen

#

you're technically still fascist just with a looooooooot of extra steps

azure walrus
#

exactly

#

too much extra steps when time is of the essence(as bulgaria)

fervent minnow
#

yeah yeah

azure walrus
#

just appoint right wing ministers for the military dictatorship

fervent minnow
#

ik

#

i've never done democratic or fascist bulgaria

azure walrus
#

oh

#

democratic path is the other side where you oppose the tsar

fervent minnow
#

as i said i realllllllllllllly dont like bulgaria

#

acc same reason why i dont like the soviets

#

until like 1941 youre doing kinda nothing

#

very minor things

azure walrus
#

diplomatically puppeting the entire balkans is pretty major imo

fervent minnow
#

plus i hate wide fronts

#

GOD i hate wide fronts

#

thats why i dont play soviets as much

azure walrus
#

you can diplomatically puppet the entire balkans as bulgaria tho

fervent minnow
#

i'd much rather France

fervent minnow
azure walrus
#

i rush down to that part

fervent minnow
#

i'm just saying i aint finding it fun

azure walrus
#

fair

#

fair

fervent minnow
#

with the gazillion debuffs you have

fervent minnow
azure walrus
#

the combat debuffs dont affect you if you dont fight anyone until the axis

fervent minnow
#

and even when the line starts to break

#

uncle sam usually sends help

#

i don't like playing historical germany that much too

#

i'd much rather Kaiserreich

#

or any alt history path

azure walrus
#

but historical germany has a bunch of things to do before 1941

fervent minnow
#

theyre more fun imo

azure walrus
#

fair

fervent minnow
night field
#

finally got the achievement

hoi4_100.png
azure walrus
fervent minnow
#

i just really like the diplomacy you can do as Kaiserreich

#

like you can get a very strong Mittleeuropa

azure walrus
#

are you talking about the mod or the althist path

fervent minnow
#

althist

azure walrus
#

ok fair

fervent minnow
#

and the whole second naval arms race is so amazing

azure walrus
#

i ally the brits typically

fervent minnow
#

kaiserreich germany is so awesome man

#

yeah so do i

azure walrus
#

but you just said second naval arms race is amazing

fervent minnow
#

it's extra fun if you do Military Dictatorship imo cuz your flag name and everything is pretty cool

fervent minnow
azure walrus
#

fair enough

#

ive gotted used to accepting brit naval dominance because of my achievement run attempts

#

aka the raeder to kaiserin run

fervent minnow
#

did you do the uh

#

what was it

#

"our other place in the sun"

azure walrus
#

no

fervent minnow
#

very easy achivement

#

just cap france

#

/allies

azure walrus
#

i would need to do 2nd naval arms race

fervent minnow
#

yeah

#

it's pretty fun

azure walrus
#

and in those runs i picked accept brit naval dominance

#

because i need the kaiserin

fervent minnow
#

YES navy is fun and i'm tired of the community acting as if its not

azure walrus
#

i disagree

fervent minnow
fervent minnow
azure walrus
#

i still disagree

#

but fair enough

fervent minnow
#

eh changes from people to people

azure walrus
#

opinions are opinions

fervent minnow
#

yeah

azure walrus
#

yeah

#

just like how i think bulgaria is fun

#

but thats prolly because ive only played the fate of the balkans path

fervent minnow
#

brest litovsk path for German Kaiserreich is uh

#

it's something

#

i'd much rather do see to the eastern front

#

its not bad but like the whole world hates you

#

if you do it

azure walrus
fervent minnow
#

uh why do you get in a war with the ussr again?

azure walrus
#

you guarantee and protect all of the ussr's expansion targets

#

then they invade to take something

fervent minnow
#

yeah but you can just get rid of your gurantees lmao

#

its a pretty bitchy move

#

but you could do so yknow

#

if you feel like youre not uh

#

grinded enough

azure walrus
#

other than ,maybe the polish corridor

fervent minnow
#

nope you can also do economic integration that way

#

thats the main point anyway

azure walrus
#

but you have to guarantee them first and then you invite your guaranteed states to mitteleuropa

#

why would you remove the guarantees

fervent minnow
#

for example by like 1940 if youre not ready you recall the guarantees and you secured yourself the Imperial eastern borders and two mittleuropa members

azure walrus
#

two????

fervent minnow
#

brest litovsk but the world doesnt hate you run

#

poland and hungary

azure walrus
#

so is finland, baltic states, scandinavia, the balkans... not on your list?

#

and everyone else you can get

fervent minnow
#

they come into play a lot later

azure walrus
#

if you dont take AT LEAST the baltics the soviets will, and the soviets get stronger from taking the baltics

cedar coral
#

is at any use

#

genuienly never used it

azure walrus
#

used what

azure walrus
#

the baltics will be taken either by you or the ussr, and if the ussr gets them they get stronger

#

if you dont take both hungary and romania then the allies will back one of them in the transylvania issue, and congrats, you have a war on 2+ fronts

#

(at leat in my experience)

#

scandinavia is just good to have for the resources but admittedly less relevant

#

so like

#

the come into play very much now

#

(aka about as soon as you start prepping)

#

but i've played that path like once so idk much

#

i typically just use brest litovsk to expand into all the places the soviets can

#

(conquer the baltics fast and get a nag pact with the soviets before puppeting finland)

#

and i can still do economic integration

anymore

surreal swift
# dusky burrow depends on the group you're playing with

and i guess the rules also more bend depending on if this is a historical match or not and how good the players are, like an example is if someone on the axis isnt great as japan and is getting 20 divisions encircled by russian tank volunteers in china, then the rule would be russia cant send volunteers to china if that previously mentioned person is playing japan

i forget that everyone wants to play germany

#

why is russia on high demand tho?

#

idk anything about the russians in this game just that in actual history it was "we are communists we do our own thing 2 years later after fall of poland we join allies"

like if you dont do collabs yeah

it was that way before too

I literally had to take every single tile last time i fought them

#

Well i got drug into that war so i guess yeah collabs would go hard

heavy vigil

like before

#

they also had like +30%

#

rn china just relies on the fact that japan was nerfed

#

so if youre bad and run out of equipment you stall, harder than before

just sit in thessaloniki and bait them into the little three tile section where you can encircle them

and get guns and support equipment from the international market
