yea
is this good for early 1939?
no divisions?
26 divisions might not be enough bro
Too much civ greed
But overall u should be fine
Nah he has 4 to Japan
That makes 30
oh no i just didn't assign any divs
i have 232
that mefo bill germany
im lazy and fat
holy
whats your build?
tanks?
inf bricks?
meta fighters?
bro what
for 36 design yeah
22w?
its decent
well im also doing nuclear rush
and ballistic missle rush
just for fun
i spent alot of factories to make over 7 facilities
in 39 you should already have the meta fightter
yeah i have it? i just mean i have the 36 fighter as the briding gap
you obviously can't get 5k fighter 2's out by war
the 36 fighter is kinda ass tho
the max buffed ai doesn't have any better
ohh you dont have the air designer?
in 1939 you can easily already have the good fighter
and cas
hiii! if anyone has any recommendations for a complete beginner trying to learn the game please let me know :')
yeah but i just built 36 fighters
till then
i had 40 mils on 36 fighters
doesnt make them better lol
because it a max buffed allies and sov
it makes them better than whatever the allies have
it literally just so i have airplanes out
im producing the 39 fighters rn
couldve had like 2k good ones out
so you dont have tanks but 22w infantry?
i have 4.8k 38-40 medium tanks rn
with radio 2
im good
spgs right?
im gonna convert them over yeah
least obvious fed
im also doing a late game fortress hold just for fun
it how they bait you
wdym by "fortress"
they make you get in a game and 1v1 you with 3k hours
investing into a good d day wall
just sealion lol
im trying to find some guides before i buy the game
no because i made nukes and ballistic missles
i just wanna do what i wanna have fun for
it my own build in the end im making strat bombers as well
with submarines
just to see how it goes
you can learn the game by playing
that's the best way
guides ain't gonna teach you the gameplay
does anyone have any good soviet templates for infantry and medium tanks?
they outran the bullets
oh okay sorry i just wanted to see how it works first since its quite expensive for me
ik
its more fun learning it urself
but theres good stuff on youtube
oh really ill keep that in mind too :) thanks
japan just declared war on sovs in historical?
why does the map look like that
so ive come to realise
trying to take slovenia
isnt a good idea
cause now romania are against me
do I get no compromise no surrender graveyard of empires or trial of allegiance
you think i built enough railways?
uuuum no
❓
there is a lot of provinces without railway
is this clutchable gng✌🏼 ?
conditional surrender button looking juicy i bet
soviet don't accept surrender 😭
even if they lost 1 million people in 1 month with france
i'm gonna mek tis a disaster save ngl
np just try playing a major at first until you get better
a major?
good marines div?
Im playing as Japan, wish there was mod or setting that puts Eva Braun in charge of Germany - I want Man in High Castle ending but with 2 women fighting against each other
United kingdom, germany, ussr, france, united state,japan(even if its harder)
OSAKA
yes very good
oh i see thanks!!
im new can someone play with me in multi player to explain what everything does?
nvm i seized
also bro
look at this bs
italian occupied france
bruh
germany france uk japan america bla bla
nah bro how tf did you manage that
got it ty :)
also italy is getting invaded
so get on with sealion
then land ig
do i try with just this
or should i split them up again
with inf
okay
i would replace those rangerse with mountaineers
why?
more mountains or more forests in europe?
yeah i suck at invading the uk
probably left it too late again
i get into the land and just get destroyed
whats your cas/fighter design?
not great
this should be your fighter
and for the cas
just full heavy bomb locks
with extra fuel tanks
okay ill try that next
i messed up with slovenia this run
meant i couldnt take france quickly
just lost my entire professional army in sussex 💀 100+ divisions
invading the uk aint too hard tho
I saw a youtuber do Luxembourg world conquest. The least feasible part is the first one though, training 6 paratrooper divisions to invade the Netherlands and get the Indies for MP, any of you who did world conquest with luxembourg know how you managed?
Anyone tryna play i got 942 hours on the game and i have no idea how the air works
but i can do navy
tho
very good UK player

won ww2 by 43, what do i do now
Nice, I usually hear the opposite that air is easier so good job on Navy
i lowkey wanna betray allies and forcibly decolonise the global south
please help me my code not working
Air I just assign to armies
LOL I loved playing Japan and u needed to understand navy to win
fr? u have time to teach me
im new can someone play with me in multi player to explain what everything does?
deathstack#
help me
I havent played in a while and have my final exams soon, contact me may 21st lol
i finally understand air thank you
LOL my exams are on the 18th
im so cooked
starting on 18th May?
thats how it works
math
yes?
which program are you doing?
yeah i deadass just realised what hes writing
any multiplayer gods that knows the best meta now in days
anyone have a good guide for mp italy?
Can you come over? I'm going to mirror my screen.
Use navy
im going to play commie China mao zedong dong gut
nvm 3k
i used a 100 hours playing Japan to understand dis bs
Art overload with superior firepower 
I dont think I will ever play Japan...
LOL
Ive played hoi4 for 400 hours and realized that Ive never done a proper USA run
wise choise
Usa goated
I usually just do Germany or Hungary or Romania
Sometimes Czech I was trying to fortify
i’m kidding I haven’t played multiplayer in over a month it was a nightmare
@fallow bane if u tryna learn Navy dont go on Reddit and see the "play japan youll understand it" it dosent work play the USA and watch on youtube
Ey Finland and Estonia goated too
fr, one time as Germany I took the UK early, got Canada as a puppet, and then declared war on the US, I had more forces than them so I pushed to New York and Seattle but couldnt get any farther then I started to get pushed into Labrador and just rage quit
LOL, Germanys blitzkreig is goated as shit but if the USA gets enough time theyll js murder you on the spot no fun fighting them
they heavy industry is such a meta
I fr puppet everything I see as Germany cause I wanna get as much as possible
LOL if i play alone i js take all the land for fun, i hate these puppets tryna break free all the time
gosh
im thinking of playing Romaina now
i lowk forgot about it
LOL
Nice, they are pretty good Ive tried almost all paths
best path?
do u do tanks air or what do u use
I usually got infantry but I wasnt really sweaty with it
ahh, I used to main greece took me like 10 tries to get Turkey
aha i see well i try to put all my Braincells into this game
It sucks that I have to give Bessarabia and Bucovina to Soviets
But then I take it back
I usually played fascist route and got a good chunk of Ukraine
So Id recommend that
ahh imma try it out
LOL first time playing i said no and got brutally murderd by the soivets
You could probably world conquest with them if you take someone with colonies or something
i didnt understand shit
Partitioning Yugoslavia is also good
yea sadly no balkan country is near but if i somehow mange to navy invade The Netherlands
makes you a new transmarium type shi
Id do Italy
I heard Austria got a new focus tree
Is that with the new DLC?
ohh im not even sure i head the same i havent tested it yet i played a game with my friend Austria can become pretty op tbh
easier than with Hungary from what I saw
much easier
austria is op
it is whats the focus tree like
only reason i play this game focus tree
fun part

is it with the new DLC or something?
Or is it just an update for everyone?
i think i messed up
ey u got italy and Turkey
i bet if u take out germany youll win
its still 1942 the soivets weak as shit still
400 divs for the soviet
germany is already gone its jus puppet
the real problem is france and the balkan
cant u get Japan to help you?
howd u get both the USA and the soivets on your ass
mod?
no only graphic one
non historical
japan is doing nothing even tho they are at war with the comitern
oh they are not at war with the soviet
hello comrades, i recently made my first V2 rocket as germany, but i don't know how to use it. Can someone please tell me how?
the entire war was just SUPPLY
but got algeria and libya and morcco and tunisia ig
Can anyone who knows how to create mods contact me?
nuclear bombsss! tghank god i rushed
max buffed allies is bullying me
im being nerfed by my ai italy and romania
why is the manpower to inf equipment ratio so low?
Does most of the division have nothing at all
because in an infantry division not everyone is fighting
theres logistics for exemple (even outside its support company)
its like 70-80% of the division?
It's so nice to divide the territory without that burden Italy.
well irl on average
for each soldier fighting, 7 to 10 were working on logistics and stuff
why do people call Italy to the war against the allies like they just attack Cairo and get 70% war participation
So joining the army has a fairly low chance of fighting on the frontline
And sent you 1 convoy as help
if the situation deteriorates you can always get called up to the frontline
and modern warfare is just drone striking so even if you're 200km from the frontline you're an easy target
Italy is just troublesome and greedy for territory

nooo
Phonlkkkk
Franklin Roosevelt has a tight outfit
American civil war is to hard
Then don't play US maybe?
You guys like the banner?
how do you get that banner? looks really nice
is this game worth it??
Yes
Are you deadass bro
i wanna buy now buts its 50 bands broo
DMs
???
just wait for a sale
idk what currency u do
i cant waint his longggg
Dirty minded people like you shouldn’t be welcome
In this server
I’m just trying to help him out
i did scrotched earth everywhere in siberia hope japan has fun taking snow
I hate when Japan declares war on me as Russia especially early game
it will take 2 or 3 years until they make it to the urals
average late war fight
guys, what mod its better, The Great War or the Redux one
tomato tamato
what
actually impossible to push in late game
holy cow it just constant pinning
imma have to nuke them into the ground
does anyone know how to get rid of agarian society as fascist india?
Ya with huge casualtie
u don't have like 20 shitters to just throw in the mountains?
@wraith mauve DMS
That's why hoi4 sucks
Does anybody have the horthyist kingdom of hungary flag in full resolution?
Isnt that a thing wikipedia would have
the in-game flags are pretty low-resolution
🤔
Literally like 5 pixels
wait for total air sup before using CAS
losing 30 planes per tick isn't viable
The kids must have had a seizure drawing their flag
hiii francis

show map im curious
going to keep nuking them until they surrender
we could not push into them i would nuke every supply hub
The ottoman Empire has Rised
1918
W Greece UK Russia and Armenia
What would be the best way to do this achievement "Die, Perfidious Albion!"
I have to conquer all of britain while being fascist as france and I have no DLCs
will they recover?
Guys i got a problem i have better tech fighters high air attack high agility and i have oil but for some reason my enemies with worse tech are trading so well against me why is that
U need defense
show the template you're using
I dont have that dlc
But i upgrade the stats a lot
ye good luck then
Is the ai building heavy fighters or smth
Are u dumb u need defense
1000 years reached
is this a good light tank template?
Amazing are u Einstein by chance
you cant even save it
bored, should i play as ukrane
yes
all cores of ukrane done (used a bunch of setowner commands)
you going communist or?
not true ukraine if you dont got crimea 💯
hoi4 ukrane does not have a core on crimea
i did all cores so ya
communist would be funny
but i already did
before this
Ohhh I see haha
i wish i didnt waste pp early on
im at 1939 with 30% stability after changing to fascism
U mean STA-ABILITY that’s the proper pernounciation
U mean STAY-ABILITY?
Mb
im buying ts for 50 idc anymore i cant wait
anyone have a problem with hoi where after you hit 1941 it just keeps desyncing people constantly and it essentially forces u to start a new game
10% defense or 20% entrenchment?
Germany is so easy
Cuz why am I easily stronger than everyone and took out Soviet and France by 1942
i agree i am playing as the germans and im doing the best i have ever done
i have made it to 1952 for the first time 😄
my previous record was 1945, thats a very good amount of extra time
U took over the world yet
bro I once stayed until 1960 as Russia
That was my furthest in hoi4
mines was 2000
nah there was stuff going on
What nation were u
USA
Damn
not yet
i only took belgium and estonia also some cities in USSR when they fought the whole world
i got like 85 hours on the game and have never beat a major power except the USSR when the whole world was fighting them lol
one time i was doing pretty well then i declared war on facist estonia and got capictulated lol
(as the soviet union)
Is there a way to go back to old naval mechanics before the current one
Or a way to make the ai use the new naval mechanics better? The AI is terrible with it
Can someone gift me dlcs if u know what i mean dm me
Second American Civil War
is this the worst spain path?
Anyone
U took France yet?
no, i never did cause i chose democratic germany then went communist
wtf is that path
then the soviet-whole world except americas happened
anyways i dont think i will because they facist and in the chetslovokia entiee league thing
I took Poland, Benelux region, France, soviet, Denmark, and Norway by 1942
and i doubt my allies and me can defeat an entire faction... unless i have more power than them lemme check rq
(btw im justifying on switzerland)
also i got territories in ussr and i got german estonia
(puppeted)
Is that a mod
no its vanilla i dont use any mods
First off, you shouldn’t have 0 mp
Bc u need mp sitting there so ur troops can recover
yeah i know that i just dont know how to fix it cause i cant make the conscription laws any better
cause not enough war support
Increase your recruitable population. Yk how to do that?
How? What people did you choose for the fuhrer
i didn't do that bro
i thought i said
i did oppose hitler
then went democratic for kingdom of germany
Right
then went communist with communist revolutionist
I never did that path so I can’t really help, I don’t understand much of that path
i mean its pretty simple
I can help with fixing stuff in your military tho
ok what should i do
low manpower, some are trapped with no way to get out of terriotory cause no military access
You have enough political power, good
I want you to open decisions and click on everything that give you war support
Also, keep the game paused right now
i got that
cant cause the world tension to low
you might call me stupid for this but i think im gonna justify on republic of ukraine as well
(in a minute tho)
Click on your flag and open that thing which changes your recruitable population
can i justify on republic of ukraine
Disband some of your divisions if that’s the only option
If you will be able to justify later that would be great
Or yk what
ok
alright also there is almost done justification for switzerland just so u know
I said keep the game paused
it is im just letting u know cuase i justified like 15 minutes ago
wait no like 45 mins ago
Ok. I want you to hover over the supply thing at the top of your screen and screenshot it to me
the one over german theater 1?
No
The one next the fuel thing
Fascist USA and Nazi Germany Powerful Alliance 
lol fr
Okay. You have to start producing trains. Focus on that in production. Are you building military factories?
not right now cause i got 150 smth
got 20 not used cause i dont want to have to keep buying more resources
It doesn’t matter how much you have. You have to build as much as you need. (Only if recourses allow)
alright i am maiing war austerity trains
making**
4.17 per week should i divert factories to it?
nvm i had enough
Good. Remove some factories from equipment that are green for now and put them on trains instead
And I want a screenshot of your logistics
You know 15 isnt the max you can put on one production line
If you click on the little 5x and 10x you can put more
Or click the little +
The max on one production line is 150
That’s way more than enough but sure
Actually
I want you to produce only one
why?
Remove these 2
oh i thought you meant only produce 1
using only 1 military factoy lol
im using one line with 36 factories
do you want me to only use 15?
Having several production lines is worse than spreading it between several btw
No
Delete the others and just increase the amount of factories they are using
also sorry if im annoying yall with this but im realativly new to hoi4 and only have 85 hours on it and never watched the tutorial
and am to lazy to watch it
You can put more favorites on a product by clicking on the 5x and 10x
yes and its way better than having several set to 15
If you click on 5x, it put 5 factories on each square
yeah thats what i did
That’s not what you did with tanks
Also, remove railway gun production for now
yeah i dont know why i even had that cause i dont even use it cause i dont know what it does
i removed it
Okay you now fixed supply.
What I want you to do now
Is taking a screenshot of your inf and tank template
alright
Cancel recruitment!
You can try following the templates in pin in help
A 83 hp division is not going to make it
No
480 atk for 15k production cost?
Just stop building moderns
If you want a late game chassis use 1943 med
too expensive to produce
yeah
have you ever considered moving up a conscription level
i literally cant
i need 60% war support to
and i dont have it
i got 42%
is there no one to fight
no
i only took estonia and belgium and some of the USSR in the "Soviet vs Whole world except the Americas" thing
🤔
no they hate me
im justifying against ukraine rn
i took the republic of balerous tho
i feel like you would have a phenomenal time fighting russia
did the russians just get defeated
yeah but it was under troisky before they turned into russian federation
i cant deny, coring pretty much all of central europe is a really good feeling lol
this better guys?
its why i love the austrian focus tree so much
@gentle cloak
Yo
holy shit
is this better?
wait how many divisions do you have
258
replace the motorized with mech, and the tanks with spgs
1: it is mech, 2: what is spg?
also is that a maintenance company? they're useless
one on the bottom is motor, spg are self propelled artillery
Nope
He will be using SP
But for infantry
thats quite a few divisions for germany
For tank, he will replace the SP with artillery
well its 1952 so yk
So this template for inf
fair enough ig
hold on i gotta do smth rq
Let him, he’s learning shit in the meanwhile. Better than learning it while getting invaded
yea but i think for current position its pretty overloaded
i was just confused. he can do whatever he wants lol its his own game
didnt mean to come across as judgemental, just surprised lol
cool
for example this is what you can get in 1942, 1200 atk for 7.5k cost
i didn’t see it this way at all, mb if i sounded like that
nah nah its alr, easy to confuse intentions via text yk
yup
either way i like playing im new to the game still (85 hrs)
@high mortar
does anyone here know how to become liechtenstein? what secret stuff do i have to do
i think personally a 120 division army group is good enough for like a 1938 germany size
Show me a screenshot of both ur tank and inf templates now
It’s all good
Now
it was abt 50
I want you to remove everything in production @high mortar
no shit sherlock
What mech did u research so far
all of it
Do you have any DLCs
no step back
thats the one where it adds focus tree to switzerland
so accurate bro
You can’t?
nope, just ships and tanks
i dont use ships tho and i dont want to so dont tell me to pls
You will need to design medium tanks and SP artillery
yeah i did that, made some good ones
I will send you designs of them right now
b-b-but i just made some and i liek
You will need these 4 tanks
And these 4 designs
So you can fill up your template requirements
u never told me to make any one with flame tho
is this a good air exchange
no
The templates i showed u had flame in support if u look closely
the flame ones illegal
you cant have more than one second gun
it wont let me
@gentle cloak i made better flame tank 😄
cheap and has more soft attack
and more hard attack
and production cost is cheaper
It’s 1950 u don’t really need to worry about cheap
ok
i used light tank instead though because it made it better
higher armor, soft attack, hard attack but 5 less breakthrough points
i like it
ok
so where do the light tanks go
so now that thats done what next
@gentle cloak what next
You made the 4 tanks?
yep
and put everything into production
can we hurry i got about 5 minutes before i gtg
That’s the list of the things you will need to produce:
-
the 4 tanks (light, SP, medium, and flame)
-
infantry equipment and support equipment
-
mechanized
-
support tank
-
artillery and anti air
-
rocket artillery
@high mortar
Yes
alright well, danke
Cya
Ofc
and good night as well because its 10:30 pm here
Gn
gn
is it possible to use the old naval mechanics?
?
There might be a few that makes the ai do navy slightly better
ah wait i think i just realized why i keep loosing as the soviets, i keep forgetting to either produce to actually put AA support companies into my divisions
Rip
The thing that sucks about the German civil war is your army that you have to rebuild
not even that hard
you get alot of equipment after war so you could rebuild rlly quick
i just realized i somehow joined the ussr
I haven't seen that
I mostly play Italy though
Germany is to fast paced for me
unless I go down Beck's civil war in RT56
Italy you can basically do whatever you want, and you can expand without litterally doing anything--I can claim all of Yugoslavia with one focus and decision
Anybody up for a quick game ?
i love finland
u still up
Yeah , barely
1 AM. I wasn't planning on sleeping just had a big day at work. But I could go for a game if your up for it
up to you
I just woke up from a 12 hour sleep
once in a lifetime experience
I envy you lol. But yeah I'm good for it
yea me
I can go for 2 people
yeah well I never sleep that much it just so happened now
Almost all of them
I dont
I think I miss the south america one
you can host
okay, vanilla right?
sure
Maybe slight mods ?
sure well do tell
S
Just some optimisation ones
oh sure
I don't want to have 2 fps by 1942
ill js download
Can I do a group with y'all ?
yes
sure
Il download it too
on 4 speed the rivers look like nation's blood vessels
whar
My tierlist of how attractable is each TNO russian unifier
I mean rivers kinda are nation's blood vessels if you truely think about it
when the night goes by fast it makes the rivers shine so it looks like its pumping 😭
I wanna blow my brains out, I was slowly winning the spanish civil war because the soviets had a civil war than the sssr came back with like 20 units back in to touch me
me when I have more civs than all of japan's total industry
is there anyway to stop the soviets from sending units in the civil war or at least not many cause this is utter cheating bullshit
in spain?
Not that i know
damn
The soviets are unpredictable
I hate them
I just wanna rule the world but they are too busy (private blocking) me
you probably have a skill issue 
Yeah
I probably do
whats that weird ass name you got man
Never seen this before
Playing as France and attacked Germany when they attacked Czech
AI has gotta be trolling
yeah it's a event, if you deck on czech over sudetenland the army can coup you
Damn
YES THE BASTARDOS ARE TRAPPED
Did you trap them or the AI volunteers did their thing?
Im asking because whenever i play Germany, i send volunteers to Spain and encircle them
trapped them in aragon with the anarchists
but over time it seems main yellow spains units delete themselves
lore accurate usa
honestly true
I have won yay
pretty lore accurate
every vp named
wtf I just randomly got gilbralta
dont this happen everytime berlin falls to an enemy of them
no?
battle of berlin||, new hampshire||

hello yalls
wassup tank
i forgot i tried arty only ussr bout a year ago
i will have to try it again with the new doctrine system
Arty only is op
i like t-34
I didnt sob
Anyone got any challenges for me?
Did you in the challenge summation area
Does krakow go to the ussr after molotov ribbentrop?
No
alr
heeeeelp
heeeelp meee
are we seriously using ai thumbnails now
this isnt the first lol
wheres steiner
are you playing with any dlcs
if you have all dlcs maybe send the save to me and ill see
how did you even end up like that
i gave myself as challenge
used gamerules to get all of europe as commie and join comintern
my first ger game i couldnt even push past belgium
and then i 1v all of them
thats easy
i dont remember my first ger game tbh
i remember the first game i played was liberia to see how fast the game ran
it wouldve been easy in 1940 or 1939
but its 1942
i only went to war with comintern in 1941
cuz i was grinding on france
did you take peg or 4yp
4yp would have been suicide
bro if i did 4yp i'd be dead
peg is better for late game btw
i do tho
no i mean
well youd usually have won the game
not enough to do autarky achieved
other than aluminium and tungsten i am fully self sufficient
@zenith charm
thats irrelevant
your mils and refs are just so much better
yes i was building mils and refs from like 37 onwards
so now i have 75 on air without trading
then always do 4yp
peg is only better if you build civs for like forever and even then
no because i would be out of civs
and i need thoses civs
yes
win game
i was joking about the help part
ah
i'm gonna win i alr know
me axis alone and japan co pros vs comintern
and like the usa against japan
this was earlier in the campaign
for some reason ccp and japan just divided china and never went to war again
what a nice day to fly over spain
hm
german ai really doesnt to go on the offense and risk going around the maginot
how do i change my in game player name?
On the page that shows all the lobbies its top-left
i mean in sp games it only says my name as player
do i use the same method
Yes
thanks mate
how do i save it?
I think it autosaves

hm no clue then
