And for infantry large unit tactics?
And so you’d recommend line art with infantry for offensives? This is when playing a minor so tanks are difficult
Yeah
If your going fire concentration, Assault Infantry is a better pair
Also just to make sure how many military factories where tanks makes more sense than artillery?
I think I am under that
But is there a rough number
10-15 usually, but more is better provided that you don't go into resource deficit
how to play France is my question
OOOHHHH
Oh that’s less than I expected
I might have screwed myself over
is the autocomplete focus thing for ai aswell ?
I used it to bypass one focus but I was letting the game run
never knew there was this
1942, new record
So for example, I have Yamamoto heading two naval headquarters in Hiroshima and Honolulu
I'm not too sure about the whole mechanics for Naval Headquarters, so I'll need to do more research on that @heavy vigil
is this fine for a naval bomber
CHAT THEY'RE RISING UP AGAINST ME AS USA WHAT DO
Yes, although you don't really need the cannon defense turret. Extra fuel tanks give it a lot more range
how you guys even able to play any chinese country
it's hard
idk why
chat how the heck do i actually win this when it took like 90% of my divs
I’m just good
Why would you do that
central powwers taking revenge for ww1
Words from lightning Mc Queen : “Speed, I am speed”
Suez Canal is better kept intact
howd u do it
How do y’all find playing the PRC so difficult?
I never can do it
It’s pretty easy once you know the basics
did u do peoples militia
Once you get a stable industry, spam guns
No support, not trains
Just
Guns
Nope
i have 19 divs
Just infantry
what the heck
and i go ideological loyalty it gives 15 k man power a week
The Soviet AI is so dumb it hurts to watch
i just took it from my fighter
template
this civil war is dumb
i lost 90% of my army and he just crapped out more planes than my country even had
ive already lost and i didnt even get to play
I genuinely hate forced white peace
Ngl I can relate to his line a lot
Temu fr put a g wagon on clearance
this is just stupid
especially when I was in college
Ain’t nobody buying a g wagon from Temu💀
Hi
Is there a way for ussr to completely not fight against the Germans directly
And flank through finland
Singleplayer
Ig through norway
Im pretty trash at this game so yea
Would ai Germany help finland
turkey getting its revenge
i think so
the uk shall be strangled to death
So what should I research and focus to make a break through faster
what year ru in
Or have u even started
oh
Nothing touched yet
Well u wanna purge ur generals quickly and rebuild ur army fast
Except some construction near the finish border
For supply hub and infrastructure
I heard it helps
try to get light/medium tanks
I get side tracked alot
use mobile warfare for ur land doctrine
And forget the decision and national focus exist
I have always been outplayed by ai on regular mode
Okay okay thank you thank you
how many hours do u have in hoi 4
us sucks
the uk is killing my subs pretty effectively rn lmao
but also theyll run out of fuel
Hi is this that famous egirl server
15 hours
sacrifice all the basic subs
yes
Dont play as usse yet play as italy or canada
But I usually used a lot of console commands and only played mods
2854 hours
Idk what i did when I first played as italy
1332 hrd
Cool
I declared war on Switzerland and the axis lost
why would u declare war on switzerland
What were u
finally
U should prob play the tutorial
Italy
Over 4k
Idk what I was doing
I found it annoying after ai Germany took france
Thats not that much
apparently theres a focus i needed to do before the war because having troops isnt allowed
And 1 patch of non axis nation was left
So I declared war on it
And then the allies reinvaded and we slowly lost
Then why did you recommend mobile warfare when it’s inferior to grand battle plan and superior firepower
those planes op
Send the the entire Italian army to Ethiopia
low supplies and shit terrain
22 divs in the north 24 in the south
Do you have too?
I think thats why I lost
No I also Send all my planes to Ethiopia
I completely pulled out of Ethiopia and only had northern Africa until I lost that
Oh
I thought you were talking about the second italo ethopian war
I was just messing around not knowing what to do
have u played the tutorial
No
play it
Grand battle plan is the best doctrine as Italy and infantry, special forces, CAS and fighters are your best friends
whats mods lol
it is ig
I played it for a solid chunk of a day
I maxed out my united States
With everything
How much do u have
first time bots hit with nukes lol
Because is 4k isn’t much I’m confused
1332 hrs
But I couldn't invade Europe and my game crashed after I tag as the country I was trying to invade to remove their troops
sarcasm
Then ur rlly bad at it
He recommended mobile warfare as a doctrine for Italy
Is there mods to automate air and navy?
what
I said for ussr
All I want to do is just land battles
It suck’s for USSR too
These other stuff my brain is too slow to multi task them
look at my sub losses in a year lmao
Grand battleplan is better
well he said he wants to flank germany through finland
Yes
the uk functually lost too many screening ships in return and all their trade tho
so its a win
I don't wanna fight Germany head on
Anyone can do that with micro
hes new
Your gonna have too as the USSR unfortunately as Germany views you as the main adversary
What?
u should play as like canada or smth
Ai ai
Not real person
Ai
I only have played with ai
Multiplayer scares me
That’s historically accurate though
But that would put me under UK control
Germanys main goal was to defeat the Soviet union
I would have to fight unwanted wars no?
Just wwii on historical
Does the ai actually do that
listen its gd for experience all ur gonna have to do is send soldiers to europe and fight
On historical mode yeah
Do i just hold and flank?
You hold and then counter attack
holding isnt gonna be easy
Counter attack?
how to check them
Idk what that is
Yeah once the germans get a bit deep into ur ussr their supplies are gonna be shit u can Counter attack
yeah and soft attack
Okay
breakthrough too
Do i make tanks?
yeah i dont like subs at all personally
too fragile
My last play through i was only able to make 9 tank divisions
Well medium tank divisons
I had too many infratry so I had to focus my production on some stuff
I still lost tho
how was the template
I just throw stuff which looked cool
damn
something's wrong with your sub strategy i think
which country was this?
Ussr
considering I started as a minor nation is 1.8 million fielded manpower enough for 1941?
Then u may be doing something wrong
which minor
i knew i was gonna lose a lot
but theyve won
top right
you're going to have an easier time having people as india than you will as curacao
are you asking me?
hiii liv!!
where
what......
under the speed bar
2.5 m would be better
Way better
well took quite a bit of casualties
I mean, is that wrong?
did u fight the soviets
Yeah
fighting rn
austria
doesnt curacao get a formable
send a pic of progress
lost...
Yeah it does, i did forget that about a second but I was like... yeah, still less population than India
i havent researched navy at all
Ooo once u have baku is gonna be way easier
thank you germany
yes they should run out of fuel at some point
i license exploited for torp 2 btw
Def
I didnt have any problems with fuel even before the attack though romania helped a lot
my planes lol
slop army, slop navy, slop airforce
italyslop too
(italy has become germany)
sad
oh
they were actually doing well for once
lies
factions
this hurts too look at
may god save the vaterland,
please tell me india isnt a major
india?
never fought agains tthem so idk
what is india
pluh
they arent a major
nice
dumbass uk wants me to decolonize lmao
uk of all people
he is not exporting nothing to me why this number keep going up😭
how do i make a focus automatically complete overtime once its prerequisites are filled, similiar to germany's inner circle?
something is hapening
who needs maginot
you can dismantle the chezch forts
as the country itself
the only use that would have is to not have dificulties taking it back when you give the land to the germans but if you give that part of the land you just lose
I think the intended use is for when you're playing Germany, have taken Czechoslovakia, and want to spam out forts of your own. It costs a few civs, but fort dismantlement decisions improve your fort construction speed while active.
invading the UK sucks
wow
i think i lost more to the frontline ai than to their actual troops
30K losses during the invasion to the UK sucks tho
i had 30K ish to them before
which doctrine is the best to use?
land?
yeah
and how do I unlock the last line of battalions in my division editor?
Grand battleplan is better for the offensive; not just a higher max planning bonus, but gives you some extra command power with which to hit the "staff office plan" button more often.
Subdoctrine mastery. IIRC, artillery (or maybe operations?)
i love ai so much
So I have to max out some subdoctrines to unlock em?
Yes.
and what is IIRC?
If I Recall Correctly.
ahh
alr thx
how come the left division is so much stronger than the one on the right?
don't forget coordination, 20% is absolutely huge
is it doctrines I am missing or what?
I love when the AI puts 30+ divisions per tile on my border while on my allies border just a thin 2 maybe 4 if they feel up for it
real
i love when they put 30+ divs on my border and defending my cores instead of their capital
big ass doctrine change
which doctrine makes em so much stronger?
17 inf batallions against 22
Belgium > Core Germany
well the comnbat width reduction is a big deal
the armored recon light tank probably has a good design
epic battl
i also lovee when the divs clutter everything so much i literally cant see
The encirclement potential is so crazy but the AI is so stupid
well
Eh the Soviets should come crashing any minute
supplies..
Hurts everytime
equip your divs ...
ong
i dont have mills anymore
they literally took all my mills
then don't attack with understrenght divs
won't help you at anything but digging your own grave
i used a thermonuke on my own
and thwy all died
if im playing as china, should i be doing infrastructure or mils or civs?
what was the meta sp div again ?
9 sp 8 mech ?
french navy dead
is britain stronger when they have colonies or when they dont
I am scared of the garrisons
check pins in #ask-for-help-here
theyre stronger when they have fuel
When they dont
all of which needs to be imported
This is a full historicaln't map of this country
When they have colonies you can literally just walk right into the british isles
please give me back my railway lines germany
try upgrading your pre-existing ones ❓
the only issue is this one
ello
Will this hold against the japanece if i have the big yahu on my side?
I was preparing a naval invasion into uk
but soviets starting a war on a pretty big faction
should I just join in with mine to try to take them out first
whats scarier lategame ussr or lategame uk
can anyone tell me what the module is that I have put a red circle around?
Why are there fascist/communist nations in the americas
As far as I know there weren’t any irl during ww2
god saved the vaterland
there arent
well besides the dominican republic
Hi chat
What is better, defensive postures or great war infantry?
I am playing HOI4 for the first time with all dlcs after 2 years...
@dusky burrow do i build civs?
i love annihilating britain
Paraguay is communist, Peru and El Salvador are fascist
Plus Dominican Republic as you mentioned
nonhistorical?
ough allies
Even on a historical route😭
Maybe it’s because I don’t have the South America dlc
And I don’t wanna get it
Cause I heard it wastes money
we need manpower factories
true
maybe it is because im play rd to 56
Don't give them ideas I don't want my factories to require mp
thats also a great idea
i was thinking of factories that can produce manpower
what are you supposed to do as luxembourg without paratroopers
or other minor countries with 0 manpower
I mean wouldn't be weird considering a magical portrait can summon manpower
imagine having to wait for your manpower to grow up
Literally making robots to fight for you
OR HEAR ME OUT, LETS INTEGRATE VICTORIA 3 MECHANICS IN HOI4 IN ORDER TO MAKE IT ULTRA REALISTIC
Mods that produce wheat or horses in factories
that could be good, factories requiring manpower and the number goes up according to the economy law
If you want that I recommend you to play BICE, the most fun HOI4 mod
look guys i got all of the netherlands back (ignore the red star where amsterdam should be)
bice doesnt require factories to have manpower?
Mod that adds supply management+ you gotta design MRE's n stuff
But it is the closest. : )
well if you think about it it could work
robots but they are real
Glad that HOI4 is pretty easy.
What are the Soviets doing 💔
1 loaf of bread / division
idk man
let them cook
They are winning.
It's good
chat dixie won the usa back

Either way they will be pushed back and they probably have 100% consumer goods
Hungary should be able to unite the turkic people smh
yugoslavia got balkanised
once you bomb german factories its funny that 99% of the time they cant rebuild them lol
🤮
this looks depressing
Croatia non existent ig
historical ai is on btw
31 tank divisions
sounds good for mod but wouldnt make sense historical wise
what year is it!?
47
there is
Hungarians are literally Mongolian
100 24 width tank divisions
iran should be able to unite the americans
"Germany has declared war on France"
"Germany has called Italy into their war on France"
I'm waiting for Balkan rework
1944 and italy is still there, outrageous

I don't think Germany told Italy about that part
True

Yes Franco made the first Helicopter trust me
I love designing my own equipment. I love throwing random bullshit onto a tank and seeing what works, I love throwing jet engines into my 1940 planes
let me naval invade hungry
britain has nuclear bombed berlin stalingrad and leningrad
True ☝🏼
first time ever i see bots nuking
Please paradox, give us more equipment designers
ill get 10 divs to do d-day guys
something
hungry has the best naval fortifications at the start of the game prove me wrong
kinda but at the same time no, they are uralic but were influnced by turks, along with turk tribes they came to west
colombia will soon raise autonomy, sads
Gun designer when paradox
bro
please equipment designers, give us more paradox
finished peacedeal and game crashed

genuinely chaos
i put like 10 minutes into that
mfw

I remember when I was playing I got a peacedeal my game crashed I went back in and I somehow had 100 points while I had over 5000
#caseymatters

we used to game on 4 gb of ram.
how much did ur build cost
at some period of time, developers just decided that they don't care about optimising anything as much
true
i upgraded from a 1600 and 1650, gpu cost me about $150 and the cpu maybe $50 if i remember correctly
oh so over all it costs?
ye that makes sense
Rich people, i play on mobile

I just walked in there
Idk what mod to play
collapsing world
its really fun
if you want a challange play as the baltic freikorps
play as an african country and just try to make a good country to live in
no war
Lost me at baltic
play collapsing world trust me
Meh
germany is broken up into warlords
a playthrough takes al ong time
since you gotta sit and run through boring focuses for years
focus.autocomplete
just for like 2 years of war at the maximum
why did romania capitulate earlier then literally 'poland' (gallicia)
you gotta wait for the first european war to take place if you want to expand as most countries
romania ai is so weak
I dont care
brittan getting clapped by iraq isnt on my bucketlist
also why does "syrian republic" eist
(also yes, these are the actual SCP specifications)
can we talk about how vichy and free fr*nce are fighting on the same side?
its actually pretty easy to make happen tbh
just declare on them while being in the axis
@fair horizon do you approve?
(and yes that is the SCP foundation dont think about it too hard)
can we talk about how the US doesnt absolutely hate me here?
the whole south?
all of the german panzer
How do I complete Sealion, I just cant get Naval dominance
ew
yes
and yes there are the correct names for the SCPs
poor iceland
de Gaulle looks like the french version of Hitler
TRUE
he is
how is everyone underequipped
germany does get underequipped quickly as they rack up casualties and they start reaching 100% consumer goods factor
I want to play mughal empire for some reason...
what does this have to do with anything
@fair horizon brasil is fun
brazil*
Exactly
bro is not bulgaria
why are you telling a Brazilian how to call their country 💔
Brasilian*
because don't you hate it when brazil joins the allies as a major power
who needs anti tank anyways
yes
it sucks so bad to take Brazil
tbh brazil provides more resistance than uk and usa does but that's only because i was bored and decided to invade through the amazon
invading through the Amazon is truly one of the experiences of all times
omg
?
but i am a major....
carlist Spain in the Comintern?
w peacedeal
spanish civil war restarted in 1946 lmao
2 of them dont have units

what happens if an army group has more than 24 divisions'
I think it just preforms worse
Nothing
Ok thx
Why should we follow it then..
You shouldn't
I have to fight a fourth world war soon
And it’s 1946
This game literally hates me
With sticks?
Forgot the rocks smh
Ignore the text
I’m not looking forward to it
So
Anyone got advice on how I’m gonna win that war?
like this
using planes
superior planes
next thing is icms
you have to nuke everything
damn airfields
next thing is
assert total air dominance
this is useless because it doesnt show what you have available
what did you focus in your build? what do you have?
Did you read the message below?
well youre asking how to win
when you invade use those buttons
the screenshot is not useful for giving advice
Guys how do I see a reply
I think i got replied to but I gotta scroll up for light years just to see it
Did you annex Canada as the soviet union?
no
i invaded through greendland
now use your nuclear submarines
to destroy any points of suppl
this will bring you wictory
example of useful information, army field logistics tab top right, production lines, research
crazy screen
Yall I'm almost done with taking over america as Germany
This will be my first time doing a full world conquest
rare event
Ripp
current form since i started bulking 2 month ago is it good?
could you stop talking to my underage sister please
wait how
nuclear submarines
korben you didnt see nun
i nuked usa big towns 40 times
Nuclear strikes
its funny how quickly you can procude them
as ussr
not th nukes but the icbms themselves
Can someone genuinley tell me what the point of the middle path for Japan is?
It's just a bunch of random focuses, and a war goal on the ussr that you get anyway from the foreign policy tree
Post this on r/HOI4Memes.
corny
I'm currently just troubleshooting my mod list since for some reason, these little graphics that you have for raids are invisible.
they have a singular city left
which has 50 divs
am not even gonna try to attack that
600 aluminium is still alot for 15 military factories
am just walking to alaska at this point
im going to nuclear bomb australia haha
well uhh
i bought all
in the world
Plenty
The man who bought the world
A good 80% of the world
britain took the whole coast of china
and i just steamrolled it with tanks lol
it took me 24 tank divisions to take half of asia
you can do that in the historical path too
the only thing im seeing is the ability to integrae korea and taiwan
no you cant
because you have a timer for war
live, laugh 500 soft attack infantry 😇
how
Doctrines, good support companies, 1942 guns, presumably fully developed MIO.
hungaty focus tree bonuses mainly
it might be even better than german one i think
lol
you mean the guy from little saint james?
yes
gang is this a good idea or nah
for my romania mod im making a conquest branch for fascist path (going on yr own path) and ive made a focus for each balkan country, each unlocking decisions to subjugate them and u have to wait 70 days to do them.
the fight of the world lol
imagine seeing this irl
4k planes
143 aircraft carriers
35 days each, take it or leave it
how are the soviets winning?
wdym mongolian larp 😭
because planes and nuclear subs
like we all just throat sing or sum
Like we throat sing and ride horses
not a single screen in sight bro what is this
guys is focuses less than 35 days tuff or just annoying
idk how to make them
i just group up ships
optimal for dopamine spam
bro
what im going for
0 casualities
you need light cruisers and destroyers bro
otherwise your capitals are just gonna eat hits
i dont have capitals
destroyers are enough after the changes
its just habunkans or whatever it is
mainly torpedo ones
and nuclear subs
i havent lost a ship still
i literally see you have capital ships
21 day focuses
those are random
you shouldnt mix your capitals with your subs
make own groups
for both
look how many carriers i sunk
anyone good with millenium dawn here?
love pretending to be a time traveller to 1936 going to soviet union and being like 'trust me guys this is what will happen' and then when i perfectly defend for them i become like their god
except the part when papa stalin sends you into gulag after
your capitals are on like 20% health tho
before he sends me i'm gonna tell him about a coup insurgency so he slaughters everybody (including me)
just a few planes
what year is it?
fire
Ussr when your divisions have 0.0000001% armor
yea subs are op
just planes and subs
even cruiser and fleet subs
dont even need ships
melt enemy navies
How does a naval blockade work?
blocks trade
Yes but how does it work
a country blocks another countries trade via sea, can be broken if you put a big enough navy
Do I need to put my navy out
Can you tell me the best 1944 fighter and bomber desingns?
to block no, to break it yes
HOW do they have that big of a navy
Wait
thank you bro
honestly idk
how do I block them then
i was nuclear bombing them 3 years
why are we getting warships of the pacific
