# heavy sleet is there forest specialized troops?

One of the DLCs (forget which) adds forest rangers, I think as a subspecialization of mountaineers.

You can also choose to specialize your marines for jungle at the cost of some amphibious invasion bonus: again a DLC thing.

Sadly, HOI 4 does not have the true answer to driving your opponents out of forests: Agent Orange napalm.

I've been using the ones from the website

I just do it because I have to for all majors conquests and because having a fleet is pretty fun

everyone in the axis is falling apart aswell

I struggle to defeat Poland. Using motorized and armor divisions thru plains as my spearheads with infantry to cover the lines. Everything is supplied and I have air superiority. The YT tutorials make it seem like Poland just disintegrates but I have not had such luck

green magnet

Nope

subtle wharf

#

Something must be very wrong

green magnet
#

might lowk be the templates

green magnet
subtle wharf
#

Usually 2-3 armor divisions and the same amount of motorized

brisk glen
green magnet
subtle wharf
#

Everything is supplied as well

green magnet
#

they were holding so i didnt care much

green magnet
subtle wharf
#

I just finished a game. Barely beat Poland but then USSR and allies all invaded

#

On the YT tutorials it seems those units just melt thru Poland but mine always get bogged down in some BS battle.

#

Ill the Northern group spearhead south towards Warsaw and then one cut off Danzig an then the other swoop in from the South to also attack Warsaw

mystic nest
subtle wharf
#

By templates you mean what the divisions consist of

#

?

green magnet
#

if you were using the default ones then that might have been the issue

mystic nest
mystic nest
subtle wharf
#

Yeah. Itā€™s the default ones

mystic nest
#

Especially the default tank templates

#

They're absolutely horrendous

green magnet
#

didn't the yt tuts go over the templates?

subtle wharf
#

What do yall recommend

#

Some did some didnā€™t and some went so fast that I may have missed it

#

But do the templates really make THAT big of a difference

green magnet
#

yes

subtle wharf
#

My initial attack is decent but then I get bogged down

green magnet
#

infact its the whole backbone of the game imo

subtle wharf
#

Gotcha

green magnet
#

besides your economy

subtle wharf
#

So for a 1935 game what templates should I be making

green magnet
#

1936 you shouldnt worry about templates

subtle wharf
#

Because Iā€™m correct in the assumption to group my tanks and motorized inf together under a general correct?

green magnet
#

i'd say like around 1937-38

subtle wharf
#

What should the templates consist of

green magnet
#

I'll give an example

As a minor you need it more since you won't have green air

#

i havent used motorized in a tank division since idek how long now

#

cuyz i can just use cav

#

or mech

#

or camels

green magnet
#

I dont really play majors like that so idk what a good german template would look like

#

but i'd def say its about 24 combat width

#

so like this

mystic nest
#

36 is the Meta for pushing and 32 in mountains

#

50 for cas farms

green magnet
#

really?

mystic nest
green magnet
#

damn

mystic nest
green magnet
#

didn't realize the meta changed

mystic nest
#

He's mostly correct

#

It'll definitely be more than enough for a beginner

green magnet
#

I've always used 24

green magnet
subtle wharf
#

Half the shit he does I have no clue how he does it

mystic nest
subtle wharf
#

Nah I just bought it on the steam sale

#

Whatever it was for $15

green magnet
#

damn

mystic nest
#

Make sense he goes into mios and sfuff

#

Which sre dlcs

subtle wharf
#

Yeah I figured

#

But all of a sudden he has shit in Spain and im like brother what

green magnet
#

honestly there needs to be a guide for base hoi4

mystic nest
subtle wharf
#

I thought the tutorial was pretty useless ngl

mystic nest
#

They're for grinding commanders

#

You can skip that

#

Don't bother with commander grinding

green magnet
subtle wharf
mystic nest
green magnet
#

well it doesn't hurt to have 3 max vet units

subtle wharf
#

Iā€™ve seen some speedruns where they defeat Poland in like 3 days and that makes zero sense

#

I even watched a vid albeit older of a guy explaining how to defeat Poland and he managed it in like 20 days

#

I followed everything he did and it took me like 6 months

#

So maybe stats or shit have changed

green magnet
#

yea some vids can be outdated

heavy sleet
#

tutorials just show you how to do it not why you would do them i hate it bro

subtle wharf
#

Yeah itā€™s frustrating

green magnet
#

thats why i never specially watched tuts and jsut watched play throughs

subtle wharf
#

Itā€™s not really beginner friendly in general

green magnet

Can you play as Argentina in HOI4 (i have trial of allegaince dlc) and go facist way to invade Peru? Because i alr tried Ataccking Peru but his land is so hard to advance through and naval invations wont work bc their navy is better, and air doesnt work tho bc u canā€™t use planes at peru zone unless you take their air bases

alright

pretty sure

lowk its better if you dont wanna confront germany

and italy

#

but that like mid game till italy invades greece

heavy sleet
#

what else is there to do if you dont confront them

green magnet
#

just building up the nation till you're ready to join the allies and join the war

mystic nest

#

only played monarch so idk what its truly like

#

all ik is that you release them

im pretty sure they're released as puppets

but im not sure

i'd like germany or italy to start with

heavy sleet
#

oh no italy

green magnet
#

maybe Romania bc they get to do some pretty fun stuff

#

but its a bit complicated too

heavy sleet
#

ethiopia šŸ’”

green magnet
#

you just have to micro alot if you wanna see success

#

and make sure you can good supply

heavy sleet
#

sadly

green magnet
#

well sometimes you wont have to if you get enough down there

heavy sleet
#

do i get mountaineers or is default infantry good enough?

green magnet
heavy sleet
#

i mean for ethiopia

green magnet
#

what ever you have down there should be enough

#

you can send some more down if you want but you dont need big guys like mountaineers

heavy sleet
#

guess ill watch a useless tutorial on how to micro

green magnet
#

micro isn't complicated

#

all you have to do it take a certain number of divs and move them to tile you wish

#

instead of relying on the battle plan

#

like this

#

ofc this is a horrid attempt to push into Ethiopia

#

but its just to show what micro would normally look like

#

i only use micro when i see a hole in a frontline

#

to which i just speed to encircle

#

i see some people do stuff like pinning and allat top stuff

#

but i rarely end up using that

#

does that make sense or are you still confused?

heavy sleet
#

yea it makes sense but the time i tried to micro myself i just ended up getting encircled myself šŸ˜­

green magnet
#

but that rarely happens to me

heavy sleet
#

what is pinning

green magnet
#

but pinning is when you use one div to attack a defender

#

that pretty much "distracts" the defender to which then you use another div to encircle them

heavy sleet
#

ok lemme try

#

how long should the war take?

green magnet
#

like this

heavy sleet
#

oh

#

beutiful

green magnet
#

but it is dependent on how defended the line is

#

if every tile is defended then you'll just have to hope for a breakthrough

heavy sleet
#

how do you bypass the mountain defence

green magnet
#

normally i just use the planes on the airbase for CAS and battle plan it out

#

they'll breakthrough at some point

#

as long as they're supplied

green magnet
heavy sleet
green magnet
#

i'd say like by like 4 months

green magnet
#

thats what i do

#

and it never failed for me

#

make sure you place supply hubs

#

and once you annex aussa make sure to grab some divs from the main land so you dont have gaps

No, Germany will deplete their men while my men will be full and then I launch a counterattack all the way to Berlin.

#

Yes but flat terrain makes me take losses too.
Germany has a higher population than France.
They can afford to lose more than me.

#

Also, if Germany takes enough provinces, you will get the option to install a military government which gives you 10% more defence on core territory.
Combine that with fortified river lines and my defences are flawless.

Where the more strategically important islands Japan has under their control the better their defense and attack buffs and the bigger the nerfs the allies have even against Germans and Italians

im trying to play vic3 and the game is once again ragebaiting me

In the base game the islands are so useless it's depressing

i have this army

misty fossil
#

oh yep just as i figured

#

i was deciding whether to buy vic 3 or eu4

heavy vigil
#

it occupied formosa, but because of the Qing losing their civil war and tag changing they just magically occupy the island back and i cant beat their army

heavy vigil

#

then i read some reviews on vi3 and everyone was complaining about the army controls

#

so i ended up buying eu4

you just set the destination then the army pathfinds towards it

It would've fixed like half of the point of the Pacific war
