luckily for you i just finished this
do you guys see anything weird here'
uh no
Gimmie the stat sheet pls
lol.
“Le Chodè”
Thick chode ft75 bs model is my most favourite
i straight up always forget those exist lol
New players division management be like
essex is fast as heck boi
You dont need radar btw
You can patrol planes
ye i just like it existing
Gonna play Fr*nce for both the 1948 achivements IG
play till 1948 and survive till 1948 as Fr*nce basically
2 in 1
@fair horizon you can guess for what i am doing this
Montana class?
iowa
They'd be 1940s ships
just started HOI4 🥹
if it was montana i would have researched super heavy battleships
might civ greed too because I'm joining the axis and going fascist
advanced makes it more fun considering the advanced guns are also basically the exact size of main guns
Well the montana would have had the same size as the iowas
also allows me to retain more speed
I like messing with my friend because hes from montana and his state doesnt have a battleship named after it
one of my friends is from north carolina
Shes a pretty ship too
I want to visit it
The Soviet Union Has Conquered all of europe without the US Intervention the Uk is now useless
the last south dekota is finishing soon
Dakota* also those states are terrible
Literally nothing there
like Iowa is bad but the dakotas are 10x more empty
the only reason they are split is because of so republicans have 2 states to get votes in i am pretty sure?
do not know much about it tho
Mount rushmore is cool though
so correct me if i am wrong
You drive through them with no cell service
6 hour nothing drives
either that or something with slave states and free states
idk
Id have to look into it but i thought one was a reservation kinda thing
Byeah we have a lot of history of that
Like north and south carolina and virginia and west virginia
Anyone have experience with Landcruisers? have yet to build one, but am thinking of trying it out
They're too expensive to really use from what ive gathered
I mean, something that's basically a land battleship SHOULD be expensive, lol
Just a support company? you cant make a division of them?
Nope just a support
Yeah, that's kind of lame then
Usually when I build tanks I build heavies
Mediums as some specific nations
Super heavies are too expensive and slow to use in large amounts, and lights are too light
I remember back when NSB first arrived, there was talk of mediums becoming the new Meta with supply becoming more scarce, but that never really happened
Anyhow, thanks for chat. Just confirmed what I already suspected - that landcruisers aren't really worth it. Have a good one o7
is paradox ever gonna add same color puppets to the base game
i still dont understand why the flying hell its called "west" virginia and every time i think about it it pisses me off
Very nice
i tried
How do u automatically select all railway guns?
I just unassigned one by accident and now I can’t find it
This is so stupid
@fair horizon
hoi4 modders dont understand how battles or ww1 work
I lwk just used policies and got like 120% production efficiency
I had half the German industry but triple the efficiency so they kinda just yk got destroyed
The mod is hard if you play as intended but
Like
You can just get INSANE efficiency
And my 15 factories on guns just pump out over 500 a day
Also templates the game gives you and the Ai SUCKK
So you can just make a normal template and cook
6 iowas? 🤨
Theres only 4
We dont count cancelled ones
WHY in the love of god do generals do ATTACK when units are out of fuel? when the plan is set to carefully?
almost died but i salvaged the situation
How do u make flame tank
You light them on fire
research the tech and build a tank with the flamethrower, select flame tank as a template here, I dont have it but if you have the tech you see it.
Which tank
obliviously the tank you want to make, light , medium and heavy. you choose the platform
@lost nymph
I literally have flame tank as my support company
In both mech and tank templates
did you select the flamethrower as the main weapon? I cant see it because you dont show the tank design
because the tool tip literally says you dont have it on the tank so you cant make them a flame tank.
Just buy oil
that isnt my answer to a serious problem
like before, no one really can answer me why generals with a plan to attack choose the wrong tile when they have ONE tille only to attack they choos the tile next to it
WHY ?!
Oh i just saw the part about generals attacking while out of oil
here, what the heck is this? they do this crap all the time. I have literally to do micro attacks when the attack itself is already a micro attack? TF?
huh? i thought the spanish anarchist cant join a faction
I’m going to get back from this part and take over the world as Germany
Cute
No man, show me the tank build not the unit build
I use 2 tanks
SP and medium
.... the tank build not how your unit composition.
I know
The designer, right?
yes
Usually those accounts accepted a fishy bot or got involved in an infostealer attack
<@&846894118219022336>
yo can someobdy gift me the game im broke fr
Can't afford the game when it goes on sale for $15?
when it goes on sale
@wise pelican use the funds to buy the game fr
but its not until like 3 months
Summer sale exists
That is probably in a month
There might be a sale sooner
Yeah i have 2 tanks designs and producing these 2. One SP and one medium. Here they are:
Btw is my medium tank design good?
So, why a fixed turret for the arty
You didnt choose the flamethrower as the main armament...
Why would you
because he asked about why he cant make flame tanks , duh!
i've seen these exact 4 images so many times at this point it's absurd
<@&846894118219022336>
Working on it. Thank you. :)

is this game rly worth the 50
The game usually goes on sale regularly
Wait for sale
The game is not worth it otherwise
bvruuhhhhhhh
Like seriously, be patient and you will be happy
These good designs?
I bought it on sale many years ago, converting from my currency to USD I bought HOI4 for 6 dollars
how often it go on sale
Ive seen worse. I've seen much better
I'd go riveted or welded armor
Don't forget you have the armor and engine ticks
You may not need the sloped armor
Expect a sale in a month or 2
Usually during steam sales
It is literally a month
Next one should be the summer sale
It doesn't take long
a month is so long
Maybe I'm old, but no, it does not
You got other games
You can play those as you wait
back to warthunder IG
@opal nymph I have a question. For me to have this armored recon company working, do I need to produce the armored support vehicle?
Pray for me guys🙏
Armored recon is light tanks
Then why do I have this in my logistics?
That's for armored engineers and some others
The assault engineer company?
Damn
armored engineers and assault engineers, armoured maintenance companies, and armoured signal companies
Thats a support attack order, red is attack blue is support so on careful they worry about supply no matter what
At least thats what ive gsthered
Mabye someone knos better
I played hoi4 for 400 hours and I just learned that support companies require specific equipment production other than the equipment in the main template
I’m so slow
Welded 🤮 20% more expensive tanks
If there's any need for equipment, there's usually going to be a deficit unless you already have equipment in stockpile
Guys what should I do here
It does?
I thought cast was the 20%
Leave it alone imo
Chromium is the problem with welded i thought
Well riveted is -20% cost
So welded is full price
Rivited is -20%
its less armor
More penalties
usually nobody messes with that template, but if you really want to just remember reliability is mostly a neglectable stat and engine is not that important
Make welded good
and main gun > armor
Most tanks in early ww2 werent welded
When are they going to make light tanks be able to mount medium cannons and such
At least the 1941 ones
The Cromwell tank, officially Tank, Cruiser, Mk VIII, Cromwell (A27M), was one of the series of cruiser tanks fielded by Britain in the Second World War. Named after the English Civil War–era military leader Oliver Cromwell, the Cromwell was the first tank put into service by the British to combine high speed from a powerful, reliable engine (...
its over for the germans
iirc with america you didnt see the bulldog till vietnam or korea, cant remember
The Chaffee had the 75mm
The 75mm is your Sherman gun
Another one
The 75 was the same cannon on the m3 lee
There also isnt any recoiless rifles either
It was more of a howitzer than a real gun
The medium cannon is the 75mm. Medium cannon 2 is the 76mm
The howitzer ones are dedicated artillery
Or like the 105mm shermans
But that might be more of a close support gun
I think Korean war
The M41 Walker Bulldog, officially 76-mm gun tank M41, was an American light tank developed for armed reconnaissance purposes. It was produced by Cadillac between 1951 and 1954 and marketed successfully to the United States Army as a replacement for its aging fleet of World War II-vintage M24 Chaffee tanks. Although engineered as a reconnaissanc...
I not playing hoi4 for 16 hours straight ever again
Like late Korean War
Ive had shorter long minecraft sessiond
Well, hoi4 has some wacky prototype vehicles that i can't give the correct armament for
Yeah the 75 is pretty much the same throughout the war with a few changes
Like please, small cannon 3
Shermans were still used in that war along with the newer Pershing heavy tanks
Its that hoi4 feels like a slot machine in the sense of "lemme just play just this one bit" bc time moves fast and slow at the same time
Also if the American 90 is heavy cannon 2, how do I put it on a Pershing
Or does it count as high velocity cannon 2
guys anyone knows a good mod that I can add to change general portraits because the default chinese generals look so bad
The hoi4 clock is so good at real time distortion its insane
Time moves very quickly when you are locked in and microing divisions
Also the time of the focus trees
yeah but the battle plan shows that they should attack on a different tile and the funny part is there are two units, one is active attacking the wrong tile and the other is a support attack on the wrong tile...
Steiner's attack will fix everything
how does this work when they are all in the axis , wargoals wise? I could not declare war even when the focus tree said I should...
Ah idk then, mabye it doesnt want to push both tiles for some reason so it pushes one. Mabye more units would help it?
You gotta be kidding me dude how is the war not finished
I mean they should only push the one right tile. but they attack multiple times the wrong tile when the plan says also only one tile
wait can you play in medieval times in this game
There is probably some mod out there that lets you
hi
there is a eu4 start date for a mod
and a 1300
Hello hello 
game is 50 flippin dollars i wanna play so baddas
can u help me
What major is left?
It goes on sale a good amount
this is the most updated one
I don't know, it has to either be american China or State of Japan (It's puppets) But It won't let me check the war
i literally just told u to check #ask-for-help-here channel pins in another server
time to fortificationmaxx as czechoslovakia
ok
I lowk pirated hoi4
3 man turret, howitzer, two heavy machine guns, your best radio, wet ammunition storage or easy maintenance
You don't need the 14 speed tbh
THanks
Also change it to spg
its from a message a year ago
its fine
no new NCNS doctrines for SPG
Yeah tbh not everyone makes 120 tank divisions like me
W reliability
look at how often it will get smacked by attrition. must be horrible los rate
58.1% is not that bad
Hi
dunno, I never build anything below 70
is this the ideal tank design? idk the meta and I dislike having to build meta builds
Reliability doesn't matter
🎤 hello
and why is this?
Because it only affects you when you have attrition
"Ivan, the tank blew up!"
"No worries comrade, the factory just came out with another!"
0 attrition 0 reliability = still 0 attrition
I thought reliability was the rate at which it spontaneously combusts?
100% true
oblivious. and because I fight where supply is low this is a big deal, a quarter for my infantry equip is lost this way most of the time
Typical meta build as far as I know
All I know is PDX has 0 reliability if reliability means what reddit thinks it is
fight me but i prioritize breakthrough above all
those are complicated words
Also is that TD designed with mystichy?
who cares about artillery that explodes in 1/2 after 10 shots when the factory makes 300 a day
then perchance dont be in low supply
140 factories on a su-152 tank destroyer
americapilled
funny as a minor on mountains
-Napoleon, 1812
Tbh idk what baby reliability is
ur using tanks in mountains?
we will get to moscow dw
Nuclear subs with 3 nuclear torpedoes give 27 reliability and I wonder is that an issue
damn british ships
the crews push teh tanks up the mountains
Moskau, Moskau,,,
its fun
how does it get around the mountains though,, just very carefully?
yet you still lose to finland
no?
can someone please explain reliability to me I still have zero idea
mountains are not that bad if its not the main push . low supply is also a thing on deserts mostly
You can get 120 SPG divisions by 1941 as ussr plus green air vs +4 Germany and italy
be china and have desert mountain
well im not minmaxxing 100%
god forbid I have fun in this economy
Yeah just saying it's not impossible to achieve
I regret the day I was introduced the concept of minmaxxing bc my obsessed brain refuses to have fun now
yeah done that, sucks there but someone must do it
if u think abt it hoi4's fun is watching labor go into changing colors on a map
be like me and just forget to do 50% of it
Like most questions here won't be asked if they spent half the time ppl worry about templates over industry and production
Reliability stat basically is the percentage you don't lose equipment from attrition/training
then I realize I'm underprepared and then instead of spending another two years to build up where I should've been, I restart 😭
my guess is you have fun in deck building and then dont even play the deck 😛
YES
You can get with 0 reliability, but if you are pretty new to the game, a set 60%-70% threshold is okay
thehe , same here
yeah pretty much
"let me make the carriers exactly how I want to"
and then the war starts and I realize I didn't build enough and have to redo the WHOLE campaign
I did design builds for eve corps to fly but never use the designs myself
not just carriers
although i believe in carrier supremacy
i like planes
every battle is an air battle if you try hard enough
carrier cool
now I want to play HOI4
big guns are my thing but carriers are just better
give in to the dark side and launch the game
I don't know the meta for battleships or light cruisers, I've never even built a battleship, so I just spam carriers and lose them because of the overstaffed airwings
I wanted to wait until I was ready to create a video for my channel
dude what are these i have never seen them
I don't have a channel really but I'm going to do something different and maybe break the mold and/or die trying
is that video the idea u sent in the other server like a week-ish ago
..maybe.
armored engineer, maybe assault idk
medium flame tank
airborne light tank
the game before this that is sadly corrupted I had a 35kn carrier battlegroup with maxed out BC on it for 20k IC each BC
one of them digs, the other spits fire, and the other can parachute
im a goated guesser what can i say 🔥
I have no idea how this'll go but my (editor) girlfriend was very excited when I pitched the idea so
we'll see how it goes
she got me sick today >:(
Assault engineers
with her sickness 😭
are those the same as the dozer tanks with the entrenchment?
that may perchance be evil
biological warfare, a war crime
Assault engineers are more offensive oriented than armored engineers
truth nuke
"they have a hammer instead of a wrench"
"revolutionary"
More attack and defense stats on some terrain
additionally, you get movement on rivers, urban, and marshes
So it's like a mini pioneer support company
Also assault gives breakthrough?
idk if anyone else is suffering with this but at this moment, all of my Sheep AI runs end up with Germany not even being able to cap France and dying in 1940 and I'm about to shut the mod off for lobotomizing Germany despite the buffs I gave in the game rules
1.5 breakthrough compared to 0.5
are u playing italy or romania
It gives it to tanks
Any nation that isn't Germany.
I was USA and I watched them die.
strange
Japan, also watched them die.
they usually eat rocks when italy doesnt give them air license
hey we need rock eaters to balance out the geniuses
geniuses? in hoi4?
I would say join the sheep discord and ask there then
thats quite peculiar
see a genius would do that but I'm not that
then u can go eat rocks ig
+60% movement on rivers is funny for AE
With assault engineers and flame tanks and recon rangers, land cruisers suddenly become viable
me when it's faster to cross the river than actually walk
Tbh for most of history going on water is faster and cheaper than land travel
forest only got 30% 🤣
If I strengthen a country and the country goes into a civil war, what happens to the buff?
why is this so funy to me?
No idea
It's been done guys
how do you add planes to carriers
If you look at the carrier where it is on the map there should be a symbol like the one on airbases, click on it and there you can add the carrier planes
carriers are nice because they need almost no research
im trying soviets should i do path of marxism leninism or beaten but not defeated
ok ill just do historical
Historical is easier and takes less time
How’s it going so far ?
Should the US get involved in the Soviet Aggression
I think so yeah
good im just building some civilian factories
Nice
I think I might go bed now
I’m not sure tho
sweden actually has nice bonuses for invasions and even gets a head start on a t3 heavy ship, really funny.
im noob im producing flame tanks how do i get them in support thing
ahh thank you
I never thought 2,9 IC is a HUGE difference in units per week. crazy how much the difference is , despite with lower production efficiency
also how do yall Get mechnized so quick ?
Start research in 1936
Or find truck research bonuses in focus tree
it takes 1K days dont it ?
.
Not sure never done it before
1000 days typically, if you research that early in 1936, although you're better off researching other technologies before 1940. Time gets shorter as you get closer to its intended research year (1940 for Mechanized I)
📖 Friendship missions 
Usually, you want to allocate at least 10-15 military factories or more for aircraft
USA Vs Soivet Union Who will win
it shredded my whole fleet
@fair horizon Instead of the happy and jolly duo portrait from the last playthrough, the Alicorn Sisters are a lot more cruel this playthrough
I had the evil gif one
Blue one is still my favorite of the 2
as a minor with only 42 mils I dunno man
So either you probably sidelined the harmonists / disbanded the congress
Mengkukuo
You get bonuses to it though
Or probably made it a surveillance state or the right one
Idr but it was fun either way
Little dicey when i didthe whole war thing early
But i just sent the pegesai and heavy tanks in and crushed them

"Legend has it that on the longest day of the thousandth year, the stars will aid in her escape, and she will bring about everlasting night." 🌙
I need more fun campaigns like that
We'll have to see in the near future
There was new content from released yesterday
I really dont get the MIOs that dont give CV naval bombers anysupportwhatsoever
paradox can stick this game up their a**es its a complete gongshow rn
deleting it. goodbye
should i spam subs or destroyers as USA
light cruisers and destroyers
also should i remove roosevelt
If you want. It's a preference really as you can still continue the new deal with Alf London
If you are going alt-historical, you should remove him
Tf does a scout plane do?
is continue the new deal better
Base Strike for carriers, Fleet in Being for battleships. Carriers do a lot more attacking the capital line with naval bombers
There’s no such thing as best doctrine. You pick the one you need. Just ignore the cheap ones they’re mostly bad
Scout planes give you an intel advantage over a country. There is an intel ledger if you go to a country's diplomacy page
im going with grand battle plan and large unit tactics
Each intel percentage level lets you see different specific details about a country's economy/focus tree, army, navy, airforce.
Tf are you playing mate
Are there any black generals for the confederacy if you do the civil war?
It’s so hard to choose between these 3
Equestria at War,
The My Little Pony mod for Hearts of Iron IV
also whats a good infantry templete for attacking
Did anyone figure this out
Preferably, you want to use tanks or special forces for attacking, but in general,
10 infantry battalions, 2x-3x line artillery battalions,
Don't forget to fill up your support companies
There are also division templates that mix both Marines with rangers or mountaineers together to get the best terrain bonuses for rivers/amphibious landings, forests, and mountains/hills respectively
A pretty well-rounded mod, that is if you've got the guts to get past the ponies of course...
May not be some folks' cup of tea

why cant i swim out of here with my fleet?
You dont have permission to pass the strait of Gibraltar
You need both sides
ahhhh i see
Hello
Good
That's good to hear 
Crazy amount of supply
I'm just currently going through my AF playthrough with Equestria at the moment, but I'll probably continue it sometime tomorrow. @tulip thorn
I sadly havent had the time to even try the april fools content :(
I dont pick any of those because subs are lame
Oh you should try it at some point. It's really good
Whenever you get the time 
DOOOOIT
Its so fun
I finished one side in a day
I might have to go again to see what happens if i displease one of them
When year should you generally cap China as Japan
why is it so hard to invade belgium bruh]
liek i have 3 armies
and yet i cant break through
1936
Thats why
You're sucking up all the supply
So the ones fighting have no stuff to fight with
bro i justified against netherlands
and after like 10 days the option to declare is gone
also whats the new meta templete for infantry
Whats the best way to take over all of south and north america as ecuador its for a challange
ok so i have 2.5k domination on the strait, but i cant invade the second side with my armies
am i doing sth wrong?
ok
Will I automatically start making nuclear bombs after I research the manhattan project
If you finish the nuclear bomb special project they will instantly start building if you have nuclear reactors built
is anyone awake
I wanna rant about something
this is bullshit
I proclaimed the state of Burma and my entire occupation zone got obliterated
maybe I should´ve done it before but oh come on
Now I got an entire ARMY encircled
On historical they will declare in 41
But after the Japanese invade china you will get a event that allows you to declare early
hey
?
can you help me out here
I dont really know what to do here
Did you get all of your army encircled in india?
Yes, because I created the state of burma
before that I made the government in india
and then burma
and now 30 divisions are encircled in the middle of India
because in that situation your army is cooked
its Ironman
ouch
Well you could just let them die and replace them
this is some bullshit
You do have a pretty small army for japan in 42
Im still in limited cons
theres this border clashes that happen in western china
that I always lost because of supplies and proximity
I easily got -200 political power because of that...
Just delete the 30 units and replace them tbh
bwaa
I could try to save them with my motorized...
just hope my railways are still there
You could but you might just get them encircled aswell
I dont think so
All of Indias divisions got wiped at Malacca
Ts looks terrifying
Battleships my beloved

Is Douglas MacArthur a good president
in hoi4 he literally has no traits from what I remember
I think he does for the Philippines
yes
pretty
I never thought I had a chance against germany navy wise with sweden but this is a funny , I almost sank scharnhorst and gneisenau within one battle
hii ven
omg casey hiii

"sorry cant go to work, I have been kidnapped by gangsters and sent to a secret island in the pacific"
My boss:
huh
The Soviets and I bullied Turkey a bit.
It's only Feb 1937 and they are already doomed to have a bad game.
BRO IM GOING TO LOSE MY MIND
WHY DO I GET NO JUSTIFICATION MESSAGE
I HAD 0 WARNINGS
67 ships
Finally my nuclear bomb is ready
1st ever one I’ve made
Straight to Japan
Idk how to do this
Keeps failing
Holy ping
9 pings in a hr
This felt so cool
historically the kriegsmarine was pretty weak
but a sizeable uboat fleet which could be considerd the backbone of the German navy
this game is the hardest one ive ever played
it's not even that complicated
but i cant win whatever i do
I guess when soviet union starts war with them
japenese didn't surrender cuz of atomic bombing
they surrendered in fear of being taken by ussr
insta ban
how can britain guarantee at 10% world tension???????
is it worth me trying to take estonia when theyre guaranteed by france and czech???
i lowk get ALL my steel from france
lmao who do i think i am i can just cap france and take all their steel 
just kill germany and then go for france
absolutly crazy 168 fuel imported, almost all my civs are used only for that and its still not enough
theyre path is bugged so they have 0% stability rn
and bermontian poland is pretty strong
yeah but i suck
i have 4 underequipped attacking units
whats the template
dont add them
your org is kinda low
i would replace the aa with 2 more spgs
also
the armor is a bit high for singleplayer tbh
support aa instead?
am i doing too much lol
no the line aa
whats your tank design
no i mean should i add support aa
yea
go down on engine clicks and only leave 4 on armor
just try cutting down cost
and get rid of the last two spots
and add a radio
and a heavy machine gun
?
0 on engine and the things i just added
yea use this design
just do it
thehe I really would never use equipment with a high breakdown chance
this is the most optimal design, so just kinda orientate with that
reliability doesnt matter
ill save that
torsion larp
its funny that you asume I take only optimal fights
im gonna try it
what does the achievement say?
why do you even use torsion bars when reliability doesnt matter , eh?
"control"
but i got "The Lenin Boys are Back in Town" after occupying Leningrad even though it says "control" too
because the most "optimal" has high reliability for people that dont realise that fighting in low supply is absolutely dumb
by your own logic you should use bogie
50% reliability
yea control means you dont have to own them
i usually go for that
Oh then tysm
i just got the design from the help channel cause im not gonna load up my game for that
for that you only need one tank with high armor
like one battalion
not talking about space marines, just talking about high armour divisions
Reliability is optional, and a pretty low priority on top of that tbh, if you have fingers and eyes, you shouldn't ever be sending tanks to attrition tiles
i might have used the wrong word for that
Those tiles suck for tanks anyway
thats not an armor meme and space marines are also different
exactly
space marines are an infantry division with one battalion of armor
no shit
i usually never get the need to making space marines, regular infantry works in sp
i think i used space marines like once as poland back in like 2021
how many hours do you have?
1.4k
so instead you would not fight on a critical spot that can desice the whole flank because you cut them off and get the supply hub? everyone does it when the chance is there even with no supply at all when the unit is reinforced and has enough stored.
I disagree with the reliability totally because the luxury of picking only optimal fights is a waste of time and the opportunity of more enemies troops when I am always the guy with only 1:10 IC
right now with sweden I fight the axis + RU. try to outproduce that and pick your tank fights only without attrition in mud and winter ... haha
its not something to disagree on, fighting in bad supply is just bad and dumb
you just lose tanks and equipment
i usually only get bad supply in low infra states like in the chinese mountains
so you wait to construct your own supply hub? hahaah
no you dont
Facist America would be so overpowered it’s not funny
but then, you use infantry in those tiles with air
you just fight where supply is
Genuinely could turn the whole world into axis by 1945
wonderfull so you would never fight in russia
yes?
but i dont fight in bad supply with tanks
Russia has plenty of supply what
use cas and infantry where theres no supply
There's like 2 supply voids near Moscow and kiev
russia gets bad supply like beyond kazakhstan
never heard of collabs?
collabs will make the soviets cap before that
soviets get easily capped though even with bad supply in sp
Unless they mean fighting for worthless tundra
Then yea There's going to be no supply anywhere lmfao
you just said you would not engage on a supply hub that the whole flank relays on when its easy to take with a tank despite having low supply.
absurd
if you fight correctly you dont get into those situations
true
thank you stupid game, declared on poland and took them out and declared then on germany, achievement fulfilled but didnt got it
I wonder why my tanks are there, maybe because they are faster then inf. Thats the point sometimes, be faster and cut the enemy out because his own reinforcemnts get there to bolster that supply hub if you also wait for the inf... pretty simple
speed doesnt matter that much
Speed is a pretty irrelevant stat too btw
inf with cas is just better in low supply
if your tanks have no fuel
theyre cooked either way
it does when you can do that
inf can literally do the same
why cant i get achievements? im playing on default settings (justification is per world tension) and im playing on ironman with normal mode on, how do i get steam achievements? 😭
Yo guys
Strat redeployment does everything you need speed for, and pushing too fast sucks anyway because nothing covers your rear and you outrun supplies
and your not using any mods?
who talks about no fuel, they would ran out if they fight to long
But maybe you'd know that if you actually knew how the game worked
nope ive got them disabled, the only mods enabled are the mods by paradox which turn on historical portraits
which were automatically in my game i just had to enable them but i doubt thats the issue
sometimes they are weird, sometimes you get them and sometimes you dont get them, no idea how the game detects if a achievement is achieved or not
sabaton while in hoi4 hits hard
i whittled the british fleet from 400 ships to 10
and in-game it says that you can get achievmentss?
yeah try to engage instantly with strat deployment
or even better get enganged on the way there from the flank
"id rather use a lot of tanks and fight in bad terrain, but im fast"
yes in game it gives me the ingame achievements that i can claim and stuff
just not the steam achievements
no idea then sorry
alr its all good
my guess is that mountains are also a terrain type you would never fight with tanks
100%
thats just dumb
so uh
but you fight in forrests or what?
forests arent optimal but a lot more common than mountains
what did i tell you
the brits dont like me very much
or the swedish
but i have NO navy
so what do i do
Forest penalty you can ignore with all the stat bloat from dlc support companies
and ? totally worse then mountains
And general grind of course
forests arent worse then mountains lol
paradrop
i was an absolute idiot and got my tanks encircled 
You need to learn to read if you think forest penalty is worse than mountain penalty
how do i even do that lol
you really dont check the stats for tanks do you
Let out Lithuania but keep cores and reform the PLC
i think my game knowledge allows me to say that i do
Why struggle so much
and i think your def reading something wrong
oh does that work???
what benefits do i get from commonwealth
Why are most of seas unavailable to my fleet even though I have ports in every one of them
You need Vilnius
wheres the homebase? set it to automatic
Silesian Lithuanian and Latvian manpower
massive manpower and factories
You have 3K which you're gonna run out of very soon
wait how do i even release lithuania while keeping my cores
How do I do it? Homebase is in germany I suppose since I’m playing germany
click the cog next to the homebase
Press release nation then check retain our cores and release as puppet
in the settings you can click on "keep cores" before you free them as puppet
oh okay
Remember they have to be your puppet state
like this?
Exactly
Ok thx
Then you should have a focus "reform the commonwealth" or something like that
its not a problem when you get cores on most of the states
bruh says i gotta control all lithuanian states
Not the decision
Go to focus tree
You have Bermontian focus path so you 100% have that focus
BRO WHAT
Also you get cores on a lot of Soviet land
IM COOKED
IM AGAINST THEM
yea
i mean i dont know what you did that you have no civ or manpower left xD
lmao me neither ill sort it out
and still only 54 divs
Average hoi4 gameplay where allies get called to war for absolutely no reason
War with Germany probably
Maybe try the Międzymorze focus path and get Italy to join you
Oh wait it's a republic
Idk if it would work
Also grant infantry medals to your generals
It helped me a few times
Reorganization would also be good in that case but the worst thing is that you don't have a lot of manpower
man I want to get back to hoi4 but the latest 2 expansions are too expensive
Sorry what exactly do I have to click? I don’t see it
if you select a fleet you can select the homebase
Oh thx I found it!
well it appears poland is pretty strong
theyre fighting with me anyway
i made 6 so it actually goes after the ones planed
why is there border gore
Form the Empire of the Dic with Luxembourg
h
you want me dead??
welp
fine
Idk I'm stupid and I barely ever paradrop
Then hurry up before some random ass minor gets USA to join them
This game just sucks ass
you need fighters
you look like you have enough industrial capacity for that
usa is in the war against britain lol
no
or maybe the americans alr have supremacy in the channel (i think supremacy is shard on the same side of the war)
Oh didnt notice
yes if there arent any other planes in the airzone
no
you need planes on air superiority mission
it gave green air when i put em out tho
youre correct in that it shows up as green
but it doesnt actually give you any % that you need to paradrop, but you can paradrop if theres no planes anyway
oh
Hoi4 if you could ask allies for naval dominance 🌇
it shares in same faction but idk if it shares in same side of war
I mean that you ask for naval domination in a specific place not where your allies want to
Like you could ask the USA to move their navdom to british channel
I bet they'd rek the british fleet
i think im cooked then
i literally have no ways to invade the uk
my navy is all dead
god
Feeling pretty good. 1942 and I am on the right track to forming the Roman Empire.
hip hip hooray
Time?
1940
Impressive
:D
🙏
does anybody have a paratrooper div
Not much more you can do than simply putting a lot of paratroop units into a single division
Combat width is the important thing.
first step, air superiority
A simple question. Is it worth replacing Vittorio with the pope?
I am still a ways off
But still.....
pope path is very good
I disbanded the Blackshirts and did all of the focusses for the pope
But I lack some support for the papacy.
More options will appear over time.... right?
belgium has fallen
so much weird stuff happened vro
Poland only fell in 1940, germany occupied the entirety of czechoslovakia and establsihed the protectorate of bohemia really early too
Persia

Hearts of no iron

i hate chile
i hate the civil war
i hate fighting argentina

guys
how do i get troops to the uk
without a navy
i cant paradrop normal troops right?
deserved 🗣️
operation barbaoops
sobbing
700 breaktrough melting the allies 
when playing as monarchist sweden is it better to accept or reject the saltsjobaden agreement
in theory if there are so many airplanes in a air zone like 2mio+ wouldnt they block out the sun?
rip
france just joined the comintern it might be over
like too many airplanes or rather a big enough number advantage should give a certain bonus, as for example 5k shitty biplanes should do the same damage as 2k good aircraft, but more often then not they are complettly useless
me and japan against eurasia
how do thine eyes even enjoy a map like that?
well uk had a civil war so its blue but other than that its great imo
ah now i see why it is so weird, thineselfth have weather effects enabled

darkest hour
isnt the mod still kinda brokenish?
no?
the what
well its updated to 1.16
