will ruin all of Germany's trade
it maybe will
but germany can get a lot by land
youve got no step back?
Question, if I’m tryna make good marines everything says add mountaineers until 50% amphibious bonus, but I never reach that level.
yo how many ships they got
how not?
use this for your tank div
allies have like 1500 screens
why did I go into war with japan when I annexed ussr
I CANT RELY ON MY ALLIES FOR ANYYTHING
you mean like this?
I may be going crazy but where do I find battleship armor 4, i have everything researched but i dont see it in the designer
JUST HOLD THE LINE
WHILE IM PUSHING
WHAT DO YOU DO???
YOU RETREAT
AND NOW
IMM ENCIRLCLED
WHAT THE HELL
ARE YOU
DOINGGGG
OH MY GOD
AND YKK
THE BRITISH
THEY JUST KEEP SLAMMING THEIRR HEADS
AGAINST NORMMANDY
DEPLETING ALL THEIR MANPOWER
what are those for
LIKE BROTHER
i naval invade with tanks lol
very bad idea
tanks get a debuff while naval invading
its like -30%
usually i make them soo strong
that they can push through everything
with 0 supplies
your gonna lose a lot of tanks that way
ggs
Anyone know why?
I have the armor fully researched
but no BB 4 armor
what is the engine here
jet one
2 x normal jet engine?
also it looks like you don't need 90 thrust
wait how are you getting 90 thrust
berlin has fallen
1 sec im doing something big
here
its 2x jet engine 3
oops
something big bout to happen
not the UIU 💀
if you know even the slightest bit of SCP lore they were not even considered worth it to be raided by the chaos insurgency- 😭
France casualties inflicted to Germany: 12.3m
The rest of the nations at war with Germany combined: 300k
they are straight up considered the laughing stock of the SCP Universe-
this is going pretty well i think
is that the sons of liberty path?
is he the best option?
hmmmm
i dont really know tbh
what sub visibility in single player is needed to make subs invisible?
hell yeah
i havent played new england that much
this is my first time playing them
lol
new england best unifier
Now that i defeated Germany as the USA its time to become historically accurate and nuke Japan
After some finagling with the peace deal, and then eventually getting sick of the UK thinking they have a say in this despite only contributing 12% of the war score that I use the console
This is the end result of Europe now
time to invade the uk
i've played the feds, pacific states and now new england
not sure what path to try for the syndicalists and csa
hey yall, question for you.
carrier naval bombers, just the one armament or what else?
make them as cheap as possible as no other stat but naval atk and targetting are taken into account
ok so fighter template, one naval weapon, i like the range so extra tanks ok?
ill swap the engines out,dont need level 1 jet
range for carrier planes is only useful if you use them in region missions (not naval battles) which is almost never except if you really want to micro that
also with jets v normal engines. jets have faster speed engines have better thrust, which is a better stat?
one left..
what nation and pathway did you take?
thrust means more weapons and modules which means more important stats
speed isn't really important and barely of any use if you compare it to range, air attack or air defence
got ya, so that doesnt matter really if a naval plane has one attachment
no, not really
pershing's sons of libertys as new england
kaiserredux
oh its a mod?
I generally keep the interwar frame with engine 1 (swap to engine 2 once you get torp lvl 2) as there's no real point to swap chassis or modules
thanks for your help mate!
oh one other thing, i saw ages ago about ship conversions and there is a cost to convert, how do you actually convert of planes?
if you have two chassis of same year, with different modules, when you make one obsolete you can convert it using the convert button on the production line of the latest variant of the same chassis
does anyone know how to launch a naval invasion? it says to click region and it will activate the order but i highlighted it and when i try to righ click to drag a coastline it js dissapears
https://youtu.be/55q0e9Elirc?si=vcRPwRuobs0V5PLp I believe that's the vid I used to send but i can't recall
#hoi4 #heartsofironiv
It's time to go deeper into conversion speed, the two techs for this, what they do and how you can use it to get your tanks and fighters up to speed.

When the highlight is blue : Lclick (starting point of invasion), then you right click (target) and press enter
wasn't for you, but for the guy above
but normany appears to be black...
i clicked and tried to right click but it js deselected it
thats when you set up a naval invasion order
Press esc
click once
and do the order again
i clicked on it, clicked on my field marshal and it disspeard
On your general not field marshal
speed trades better afaik
but for navs?
it just adds agility
tbf agility is your survivability on navs but it costs so much
oh, ok
what the
You might think the next step is invading the UK
But there's still quite a bit of Europe out there
im trying to naval invade here, i have alot of ships in the area doing missions for naval dominance but its not going up? any suggestions?
let me read back
can you reply to the thing you want me to suggest please
oh and one other qyestion, taking out navies and then using man power to fill them is draining my manpower, can we retire ships? cauase ive built an elite garman navy and need manpower
i just want the man power back. as germany i just built
20 aircraft carriers
20 Battleships
150 Ligigh crusiers (or being built)
300 destoryers
500ish subs
and all top teir ships so i need to supply this
Naval bombers on all of it
You can kill so many more fighters by bombing their carriers instead of just like
Having other fighter
i built alot of aa ships, and surely the carriers can protect alot?
but does anyone know the problem im having with the naval invasion?
whats this
finally a good monarchy path
france expanded
this was a good kill
don't diss base game bonapartist france
It’s just Franco Spanish unity
that was over 1million commie Japs/ chinese/ american for nearly no loss
Beat the Soviets, now in control of most of what is considered Europe
Had to go fight Japan
Decided I wanted m o r e
yo so im osrta new to the game and im allied with the german reich, now it says that theyre justifying against me. Is this normal? why are they justifiying against their own ally?
what country are you
im pre sure that if youre in the same faction you cant be justified on
well they wont attack you if youre in the faction
That doesn't need to mean that they're actively justifying a war goal against you
you can just say no to the ultimatum
they will demand danzig and you can just say no
no problem
Focuses that a nation can take can send a notification that they're justifying a war goal
But that just means that what they're doing can LEAD to it, not necessarily that they'll do it
will saying no result in a war?
They're probably about to demand some of your territory
theyll probably get a war goal on you but cant declare war on an ally
Yeah but nothing will pop up and the wargoal they have on you will be useless
Guys is ts a tuff lil poland defense
Restart
u r about to los radom brotato
this is way better defense
i think neither will work with ai force concentration
Restart
and germany aggressive ai thinking theyre about to win
releasing the czech puppet and huddling around it is the way
it will u need to build forts and have anti air and engineers in ur divisions
Ik I just did that since I needed to break my forces out of Radom first since they got encircled on their way to Warsaw
oh alr
I wanna play poland just to see if i can do any bettee
well yea but thats cheesy
one thing thats op is getting the mountain tile in the south
from slovakia s soon as the war is declared
It was more of a joke run to see how long I could last rather than an actual Poland game
yea that too
well ye but u start there and then encircle german troops and then make donut
no
start with donut
realistically you dont even need to hold any polish land the polish exile tree is really good
and still get the achievement
slower and cant encircle
fun challenge for new players
it holds better tho
Idk how I’m still holding
I can’t leave Radom since I’ll capitulate so I have to hold here
no clue whg you don't have a field marshal ngl
thats not the line
the line is lodz to warsaw
Sonion I got the game like 3 days ago
apply field marshal
plot twist he started in 1936
Where’s that? Officer corps?
Yaay(that's in Road to 56, way harder than in vanilla)
A very interesting engagement
This is my division template. It’s what I managed to cobble together based on the videos I’ve seen
take the arty out
Take the inf out
I'd add support artillery and reminder line artilleries
Am I just left with a bunch of floating guns then
Support artillery is really great
Good thing is that I have enough stockpile for that
Is this for holding the line?
Ye. I tried my best to do something that holds
support arty is a bit of stats without any combat width taken up
Since you're removing 2 line artilleries it should be even cheaper than now
Take it out
The line arty
Take recon out
Support arty
look at the stats of line artillery and see why its not that great for a defensive division especially such a risky defense line ur holding
Put support aa
That too
if he has enough support eq its probably fine
Helps with lights and cas
Ehh reckon isn't bad but defensive divs don't need that
Add signals
recon aint the worst
Half joking
Huh
but yeah there are definitely better uses to those support company slots
add 10 heavy spaa
that would be smooth brained
Add 10 armoured cars
hack your game
They're so terrible
Just type annex all in the console
Oof my eyes
Anyways, good night
Lost Radom on the 17th. This is the final stats for now
Imma take what I learned to improve for the next run
do the czech releasable
gimme a sec
you have an exile tree
why didnt you use it
its free offmap factories and stuff
even when close to capping you also get it
exile tree is pretty bad ass
bro doesn't want to
Ik this game was just a run to see how I could do
poland and belgium exile trees are peak
dutch exile tree
you get like a trillion pops
2 destroyers and 3 subs managed to survive
never tried it icl
Also for some reason the Soviets never joined. Think it’s because the Germans took over too much too fast
nah
you can get like sub 5 ic planes for a year
as netherlands
any plane
Imma do it for a lil bit and see how it goes
1950s 💀
maybe dont play past its expected end date, anything past '43 is quite slow
Mine does the same. Anything past 1943 starts making every hour take a second even at full speed
its not even using that much
i have 16G of memory
if you are going to freeze at least take all the ram first
Its more to do with cpu than ram i think
I'm heavily contemplating guerilla war for my operations subdoc as poland
for 1939 start date
I am going to try it
is it not optimized for mac or something?
resistance maxxing
i cant fathom how this game is taking up that much resources
what kind of calculations is it trying to do 😭
But if youre using an old mac, then yes thats going to be an issue as their chipsets arent designed for heavy load
its a mac pro m4
Oh pretty new then, how many mods you running lol
i turned off all mods and set graphics to the lowest lmao
and it still like crashes
its also like a ussr specialty
never really happens if i play other countries
Yo exile tree is mad fun for poland
I just set up shop in the UK
And now I’m pumping out fighters
i think i found the issue
my allies and enemies are making too many divisions
ill just take command of all my european puppets divisions and send them all into an enemy state and thermonuke them
that might get the job done
Can I get advice here
yes
update
can you have to many ships in one area?
i think the only limitation is supply of the port
the ships could be low supply
If I’m in a relationship and still think of this girl I liked but I messed the situation up am I a bad bf for thinking that
do you honestly like the one youre with now
got ya, so just build a bunch of level 10 ports, port supply hubs and good rails going to them?
maybe
its probably not worth it
idk man this is probably a super common feeling
i have the factories to do it, late game and struggling to find things to build
What a war.
210 days wtf
you probably arent a bad boyfriend or whatever unless you got with this girl only to fill some perceived void that was created by losing the other one
I got the no step back dlc and I am playing Estonia like what do I do
You get 2 infastructure. 210 days is light
How does the tank stuff work
I’ve always wanted to be happy with someone I just miss that one girl that’s all really
I got no step back and la resistance
check out this one
Nice
i think ur fine just probably dont bring it up or let it affect anything
Appreciate it thanks
im almost 21 ive never dated anyone anyways so i wouldnt know
You get there bro doesn’t matter what they look like as long as there decent people
what
ofc communist have that many loses
I might just do the right thing and break up with this one I don’t think deserve love
the death tolls are huge, yeah indeed no change really. commie usa and japan are silly. next battle is commie uk and india
I haven’t done anything I’m saying it’s probs the right thing to do
how long hjave you been datingh the new one
Nearly a week
how old are you
20 this year
The thing is this other doesn’t want to speak to me so how can I apoglise
what did u do lol
Told her to F off when I was drunk because she got funny with me
got funny with you how
was it that serious you guys probably could have cooled down
whats the difference between flying missions and interceptors?
I’m in the wrong I started chatting with her when she had a bf but I wasn’t trying to get with her I was friendly coz we were neighbours
So yeah
Nothing to see I don’t blame you
hmmmm
can someone teach me how to play hoi4 I know some of the basics
Oh yeah im experiencing a similar issue in my MP game, we fractured russia, asia, and africa. Already lagging in 1943
Best to annex your puppets if you can help it
There’s tut on yt
i think a lot of the late game lag comes from the stockpiles of nations growing so high
those don't really help
saudi arabia cuba etc all having 150K infantry equipment and stuff
there is alot of complicated stuff still
They do
watching someone play helps a lot
So what you think bro?
Can you recommend me one?
watch bittersteel even though hes not that good at the game burt he can wrangle the ai well enough
Bittersteel
i dont know im an indecisive person i usually just stay rolling with things
Ahh right ok
maybe just chill for a minute and see how you feel
Yeah i learnt the most about hoi through watching tommykays MP games on youtube a few years ago
before making any decisions and i dont come from a place where i can give valuable advice either
Well, that's everything sorted out there
I have been since 2022 and I’m still shit 2k hours
I know it'd be basically impossible, but one small detail of the naval designer I liked was that you could see the actual changes you made on the ship in the equipment designer
I wish that the tank and plane designer also included that
April of 42 and me and japans naval are clashing a lot
I don’t know how to beat Japan tho it’s Annoying
i think the issue is mostly solved, i nuked 400+ puppet divisions like 5 times over and they all died
never used this naval option before but is the floating bridge option good?
Hoi4 pisses me off
Why is that?
It gives you extra supplies during a naval invasion. Normally when you naval invade, your troops assigned to the invasion will only have supplies that they carry with them, which will only last a couple of days. This is fine most of the time, but for stubborn and heavily defended shore installations, your troops could run out of supply while attacking, causing them to de-org quickly and the attack to fail. Having a floating harbor gives them extra supplies so the attack can go on longer.
However, you have to build ''floating harbors'' to use it of course.
i say this to myself everytime i get on this game before inevitably clicking the play button
Fun fact, the flaoting harbors in-game are modeled after the IRL ''mulberry harbors'' used during D-day: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mulberry_harbours
The Mulberry harbours were two temporary portable harbours developed by the British Admiralty and War Office during the Second World War to facilitate the rapid offloading of cargo onto beaches during the Allied invasion of Normandy in June 1944. They were designed in 1942 then built in under a year in great secrecy; within hours of the Allies c...
thanks mate, i tried it on commie china in tawan, and it worked great. appreciate the tips. and yeah i have built alot of them
im playing as germany, helping china fight back the japs and americans. time to island hop. but china isnt in my faction so i cant build or use airports. just military access
Good luck!
thanks, they have lost 26mil people so dont know what they would have left
i set all nations to random so it changes up and makes it harder with new situatiuons. this game im on now is dope
reminds me of this screenshot I took years ago:
hey @smoky prairie or anyone else. and tips on how to actually set up a navy. merged this mess or forgein claimed ships. lost ALOT so merged again to set up
i want it for naval invading and dominance. so strike, patrol and convoy raiding
ok so
you split off the subs
i know big ships are 1 to 3 ratio for screening
You have more than enough screens for all those capital ships. Only thing I'd say is to split off the subs
otherwise its fine
and then you patrol with the surface fleet
and you can convoy raid with the subs in smaller groups if you feel like it
and you ignore all the other buttons because they dont matter
Right. Usually I split my subs into groups of 10 for convoy raiding, but you can certainly use other sizes
convoy raid good, patrol good, rest is borderline useless
ehh. Strike force is good if you lack fuel
thanks guys! so subs only and use for convoy rading and patrol? then have destroys in strike? with everything else?
it still uses fuel
not nearly as much
not lacking in fuel
just patrol as much as you need for dominance
if youre low on fuel just use less ships
this is the easiest way
so just convpy raid? sub groups and everything else together raiding too?
you might die in a battle, but if youre low fuel youll die anyway lowkey
convoy raid with subs. Patrol with surface ships
split your subs and surface ships into separate groups
Whats wrong with strike force?
whats patrol actually do? do they engage? i thoight it was searching so strike can go attack?
It does have a slower reaction time to be fair
Also can you use recon planes to spot instead of patrol fleets
"patrol" just means sail around looking for the enemy
you can raid with surface fleets if you 1: are not naval invading and 2: are confident in naval superiority in the region (over the ships convoy escorting from ai or whatever)
If you find them, shoot them
its just like, it doesnt work
you need ships patrolling anyway
i set up recon light crusiers
"Strike force" means sit in port ready to go. If your smaller ships find the enemy, the strike force sorties to intercept
your patrol ships are target practice without other ships
like naval battle is simple
ok so patrol will attack also? and just merge everything mins subs into that?
side with more stat wins a very lopsided battle
yes
yes patrol always looks to engage
You can set the engagement rule as well if you are interested, but its really not necessary
So main surface fleet on patrol (psuedo active strike force), subs on convoy raiding, would you have a dedicated sub hunter destroyer fleet?
if you retreat you stop shooting at the enemy
obviously
which is bad
legands! thanks so much how do you set that rule?
so sub groups for raiding
then groups of everything else to patrol. any size for those?
are light cruisers screens?
depends
gets you killed more in a lot of cases
maybe not always against ai, but always against players
yeah we fire as your "retret" its common practice
you are thinking about navy as if its a mechanic thats balanced and interesting
someone should have taught the french that
If you set the engagement rule to a lower value, your ships won't look for a fight. Can be useful if you can't actually afford to engage
when its really just, side with more attack wins, armor means you might not get hit as much maybe, also visibility stat = chance enemy hits you
so always take vis buffs
theyre OP
oh i can afford to engage ahah, thats 800 ships of just captured ones
Armor doesn't decrease your chance of taking hits, it makes critical hits less likely
indeed
In fact, heavily armored ships draw more fire
IE, a battleship with heavy armor will be focused on by the enemy
this can be useful since a battleship can take that kind of punishment, but something like a cruiser or destroyer can't
well like if you go unpierced its good
speed DOES reduce your chance of taking hits in the first place however. This is why faster ships have an advantage, and why the ''bold'' trait on admirals (if they have it) is OP
otherwise its just chance
no, its based on hp
not armor
Maybe in current patches? It used to be based on armor
for navs its hp
thanks for that help guys, ill test it out. the jap navy should mostly be gone already anyway
I believe it used to based on armor for navies
but they may have changed that
AKA a battleship with thicker armor would draw more fire than a cruiser
assuming both have the same HP value
for 1950 there isnt much left
you only need to know 2 buttons to use navy and just mass produce the best ship you can make from starting/stolem tech imo
Do we know if the update tomorrow will be save game compatible? I'm wondering if I should start a new run now or wait
oh shit thats bad timing ahha
its likely a minor patch
Yeah, but they are introducing a new DLC with it, even if its just cosmetic
unsure, sorry
alright, no worries
thermonuking every state of the US lol
must have lots of nukes
1954 ussr
its over
command power is honestly the most annoying part
that'd explain it I suppose
yeah, you must've saved up a lot. How'd you get air superiority?
honestly every part of the line has been streamlined besides command power
300 facories on icbms and like 100 nuclear reactors with every state having max silos
im mass producing these light cruisers, LC is a mix for sub killing, ICU is to search for ships and Little Killer is light guns to kill.
any thing else or focus on building out of these?
at least i was able to cause 20million casulties on the allies with 10k lost (from air i assume)
might want subs of your own as well. might also want heavy cruisers if you want capital ships, but if you don't care about that, ignore it
got ya, i got 300 ish subs 20 battle ships and 20 aircraft carriers (all modern) so heavy cruisers wouldnt be needed?
in that case, yeah, you can probably afford to skip building more capital ships. might not hurt to have some more modern subs though
obviously though its your run
those 300 ish are all the latest ones
Hello, ilove vimpiers
Me too :)< (tried to draw fangs)
i have about 400 naval yards going around the clock haha
anyhow, I'm heading to my coffin now (going to bed) see you all later.
By by
thanks for the help mate
I figured out how to play italy
only took me 5 attempts and months
I plan to retake most of africa and some parts of europe and try to reform the roman empire
Oh wow
probably doesn't look all that good but it is 1938 so I think it's a success
You should have just invaded yugo
itly is a hard country to learn , peak
You get more civs
Tuff or nah
probably yeah but I took the easiest route
finally got done with the ethiopian resistance issue
chat is this a good encirclement
yes
this is legendary
Made it to new years, boys
And since I queued up 6 divisions before Germany invaded, I got 6 more mid battle
are there any hoi4 mods for the napoleanic era?
I’m aiming for either Feb or March. Maybe more
There are, all of them are either bad or very early in development
which is a real big shame
damn
that sucks
tbf tho a game like hoi4 doesnt fit the napoleonic time frame
If you want Napoleonic wars just play Eu4
yep
Guys it’s February 18th, I’ve only taken 6.5k casualties compared to the 133.2k I’ve inflicted on Germany. And I just got another 4 divisions
Also France is actually doing something and invading Germany
where is the kaiserreich/kaiserredux mod at and the ww1 mod at so I can play them or where do I find them
steam workshop
ah and how do I mod the game>
Guys it might be over…
WE RETOOK THE TILE
I'm slightly fortifying for the soon to be french italian war
JUNE 1ST!!!
going for the achievement?
Anyone here is on for playing some hoi4
multiplayer
never done it before whos on
There’s an achievement?
yeah assuming you started on 1939
Ohhh
iirc
I’m probably not going to survive that long
Everyone else in Europe is capitulated
@restive sable you on for playing?
i mean it's surely worth a shot
Only lasted this long since France was still alive
i would but it's late here and everyone is asleep
no but we dont have to vc or anything
yeah but my computer is LOUD
What about you @pliant ginkgo
I was about to hop off
I was planning on making it to July
Saving
And then going to sleep
Also they had to send Heinz Guderian against me
I’m just too good
They took center tile again…
NOOOO LODZ FELL
Anyways ggs lads
510k Germans killed
Son I have 41mph gusts where I am rn
And the wind speed is 19 mph
Genuinely I heard like 5 massive trees fall in the span of 3 minutes
Anyways I might reattempt Poland tomorrow
That or another Hungary run where I go fascist, join the axis, and get my army obliterated by the Soviets
it's just stupid cold here
Which mood
If you're asking for the mod it's actually vanilla
If you want you could try to figure it out on your own but it's literally two easter eggs smushed into one so it will be pretty difficult
I dont know about the eggs but i love the Bear picture
Does vanilla resemble the modern mood?
No vanilla is unmodded
Huh
very nice navy, i love all the allied ships
"vanilla" just means unmodded in a lot of communities, like how vanilla icecream is the base of a lot of other ice cream flavours
I see , Anyone can make a change on it
Mmmm vanilla 🤤
lol
fellas what american faction do i play in kaiserredux next
already done new england, pacific states and feds
If you want to get him yourself you'll need
- Have No Step Back
- Play Poland
- ||Go for the Kingdom Path||
- ||After doing the Fifth of November Act focus, reject each candidate for the throne twice||
- ||Get the secret Anastasia Romanov path||
The order of these next ones don't matter, they just need to all be true at the same time - ||Don't be in a faction with the Soviet Union||
- ||Control or have one of your allies control Hamadan, Iran||
- ||Complete the focus "Artillery Modernization||
- ||Be at war with Italy and have a division in Latium, Abruzzo, or Tuscan||
||Congrats, you now have the bear as a general||
Now the order matters again - ||Take Moscow||
- ||You'll get an event that lets you replace your Queen, congrats you can now get Wojtek as King||
- ||Triple Secret: If you take the island of Jan Mayen as Wojtek's Poland, you can release it and put a polar bear in charge||
Hmm, Black Belt Revolt and go for the magic space guy
real doozy
but it'll be done
I have a question: What should I do with Sweden? I planted a spy there to make the decision, is it worth it?
Uh, what decision?
make it Fascist
Ah ok, yeah sure if you want to
With the boost ideology
i have all the dlc
How to rizz up Jewish baddie
I spoiled all the messages there so if you want to you can figure out how to get him, just click all the grey boxes if you want to see
You have been a great help, thx
Np
why does scp have a fleet?
because SCP-4217-B exists
and multiple other sea SCPs
the only SCPs i accept into the fleet are the ones that are still "anomalous items"
sometimes I wish AI should not be allowed to make any claims
tbf the only ones i know are the furry one and the white screaming guy
too many people ruined scp imo
peace conferences really need a damn revamp
I agree with this statement I was so close to having the damn minerals too
They did in bba tho
So probably not anytime soon
ai just taking bs because it can
SCP-4217-A is the bismarck itself, Neutralized once it was sunk by the UK,
SCP-4217-B is a creature controling the Bismarck after it was sunk
i fear you're right
but now SCP-4217-B will not have a chance to come since i will not let the ship itself sink
the forts did not work bro😭
the game isn't over until I have naval dominance in every sea tile
i baited them out surrounded those couple divs and pushed right in
you're gonna need a lot of ships
How do I make my spy leave after I've searched for the capsule? Because im not wait 164 days for him.
End of my game.
italy rules the waves
my pc would evaporate trying to even load that in game
Ik, the soviets were tweaking
Afrika and India
Such a cool alt-his idea
Amerika invades mexico because they nationalized oil, and then Mexico joined the allies
Defacto WW2, Allies+Japan vs Axis+Amerika
what year was it when you finished that game
April 17th, 1945
I wanted to do a Strat bomber amerika because its fun and then I went down this whole thing
that would've taken me until 1950 to do
It honestly wasnt that bad
Having the best navy in the world did help invading the 2 aids-cancer island nations
and just kinda unlimited industry and resources
(Amerika is very busted)
I kinda wanna do a WW3 with this
well yeah but I can never get anything done quick enough but I'm working on it, by the time pearl harbor starts I barely have good divisions I think it's because I always forget about the resource policy so I'm just nerfing myself all the time
just learned this is a button
most things are buttons I discovered what this was yesterday
had no clue this existed
"ohhhhh that's how many 1 cavalry unit divs I had left"
mfw I check that tab after early game cheese
The fact that i've played just about 2.5k hours and had no idea that was a button lol
bc it auto assigns like that it's probably best to build both types of carrier plane
2 carrier fighters per 8 carrier bombers probably? idk
Idk what the most efficient thing to do with carriers is, but I almost always do 50/50 lol
Probably not very efficient, but its against the ai so
LETS GOO
IM BEATING GERMANY
it’s not even that hard tbh
But still first time I’ve done it
I beat germany as austria
it wasn't that easy though
Rubber is Germany's eternal headache.
I beat Germany as Austria. Literally battle planned with only 100k losses
How many hours do you have in the game
uhhhhh no comment
Just for me I only played for about 140 hours so pretty bad at the game
Be my sensei
ive played hoi4 for 93.7 hrs
Had about 3 times that losses but for me its still OK and germany had the courage to attack the benelux when it already lost berlin
iv played until had depression
Beating Germany as austria when you are a new player is pretty impressive
LESS GOOO
Well I went down the Austrian empire path so not that impressive
First time I’ve ever capped Germany
Just let me compliment you god dammit
i built the BIGGEST navy as Estonia
Let me see the naval larp
what
what
May I ask how?
well i used commands
i use commands becus its fun for me in SP
I will just say, you can only really get better at hoi4 by not using commands
Very nice
what have you done
One of the few times where I didnt complain about the uk going communist
Free land
wdym
But I guess also rip my poor cpu
Russia as a justification of war against me as italy, but their only border with them is with my puppet Romania, also they’re at war with the central powers and the american faction with the US, France and other minors. How high is the chance for them to declare war on me?
I’m dealing with Britain and i don’t want to go to war with them (they went communist and are only on the island)
Bruh why is the console commands website down
That to bad for the uk
You’re a pink pony girl and you dance at the club
They wont go against you btw unless they join the allies
Aka they will no matter what option you pick
Ok I really like no step back
I'm not in the AXIS so I should be fine and I'm not at war with the allies
I don’t think the Estonia focus tree is good but I love Estonia
No step back is my 2nd favorite dlc
question: when you first startout, how many civilian factories should you aim for, and do you have to build infustructures before that or civ fac goes first? what comes next? mil fac?
I'm finishing off romania once my frontline is relieved and full of supplies again
60 civs overall is more than enough
not quite
Then all mills and synthetics, and dockyards if you are a naval larper like me
I thought we were singing pink pony club
I’m giving up on the Netherlands bro
You just can’t hold against the Germans
I’m not made for the Netherlands
but it takes forever to build them, like i can start building them in 1936 and by 1940 i still wouldn't finish
What nation are you
canada, romania
Girl you got time as Canada
Idk what a good number for canada is
i'm afraid not
how about romania, i play that more often
I havent played them since I got 1812 all over again
Romania like you get a lot of civs through focuses I thought
When I played romania I would get like 25-30 mills
then all mills
But those were also mp games so
I wanna get that achievement
How do I beat the USA yo
I just rushed going fascist and spammed calv
wait you do? i never knew that
Took washington and that was it
You dont even need to cap them
Just control maryland
Do they just not have enough divisions to cover the front?
There’s no way you could beat infantry with like spammed Calvary
so to be clear, at the very begining of the game, the first thieng i should do is have 60 civs in the production line and under that i just spam mill?
They didnt
Is anyone new to the game and need someone to help them learn the game?
I started rushing fascist and free the second the game started
Alright I’ll try it and hope it still works
What should i add ? Any tip
No
Railway guns are a niche thing and so are armored cars
You can do funny speed meme with armored cars though
I only ever use railway guns when I get them for free
Like the 2 italian focuses
Niche
Is the italin tanks good
?
I played a historical game and Ireland joined allies and Germany killed Hungary
Lol
And Germany capped the soviets
it's ashame I still hada use for those guys
i play as grmany and i hve no good tank im in 1938
New England's VP's
let me see your current design
Needs a few more tbh
Needs more
I can't
I have a method for building heavy tanks, but it's very expensive ,I learned it from YouTube.
is it gg's guys?
Just use the Alps to defend
get a 3 man turret, high velocity gun maybe, and a couple ammo storages
no
Italy is one of the single most defendable nations in the game
oh my god why does yugoslavia wanna split up now
Irl the italians really wanted south tyrol for a reason
Croatia rising up is something I don't see often
Same, only because I play nothing but non hist
They should make the Ustashe rise up more
Also they should have Croatia as a non core
It would reflect real life better
Hello.
Hello
@heavy vigil, where is my helper role that you promised me?
Casey lied to me.
damn
How many times do you think I can ping him before he blocks me?
I ping him a lot and if I were him, I would be quite frustrated.
Idk
I wouldnt test it
yall think I can beat germany now
the ss will rise again
yeah I won there's no hope for germany italian-russian alliance reigns supreme
Tuff boi
Weirdest Alliance ever
I know right
Interesting
Fascism Communism and Democracy united against a single common enemy
I wish I was recording this game for a video why are my best games always when I don't wanna make content
historical AI is on too this is just happening
I was at war with the allies but we had a enemies to friends moment ig
this feels like Battlefield V and 1 when it was at their peak
there is just so much happening
bruh
i didnt promise you one, i just told you its something one can apply for
my notifications are off
What even are the requirements for this if I might ask?
being helpful, not being like toxic afaik
Makes sense
theres game helpers and tech helpers generally
Danzig for Slovakia in historical?
That ruins my WHOLE entire run
I can’t get higher conscription
Cuz I need to declare war on Germany to get all extensive so then I make units to clap Germany
because you went ahist
bro annexed the benelux and says historical still
Ahist?
ahistorical?
what is ahistorical
not historical
non historical
Oh okay
oh my GOD
now I have to redo
bruh
Achievement idea:
Land of Potato (As Communist Latvia, take control of Belarus and hold all your cores without losing a single state)
I'm pushing heavy into germany with only 100 divs
is this a good encirclement guys?
I don't like germans
Made an absolute msssve mistake when attacking Germany
Forgot to get 60 percent war support
So I had NO manpower
did you change your garrison law and template
you should always look to have manpower reserves
thats why you dont reply to me 😭
i complimented your navy
ty <3
