hoi4-general

[heavy vigil]

you dont have enough points to take it all

[snow rain]

Against AI they don't if you use cruiser subs or 1940 subs
You kill uk fleet with it, provided you're not in shallow sea

[sly venture]

i had 2000 left over

[snow rain]

Obviously early subs will die

[heavy vigil]

it costs 3K for uk fleet alone

[vital cove]

in the current version, sub visibility is messed up

late subs die easily too

(not the open beta, current live version)

[sly venture]

when i play the game my subs dont die if they have under 14 visibility

[hard bolt]

Hoi4 bore me

[sly venture]

paradox i paid alot of money for this game

[snow rain]

remove the mods

[sly venture]

what mods bro

[snow rain]

yours

[sly venture]

i dont use mods

[snow rain]

that's what they wantyou to believe

[fringe spruce]

guys i am playing as soviet and i cant annex the baltics bc the political paranoia is not active, what i can do

?

[snow rain]

do the ultimatums through decisions (requires a focus first)

[fringe spruce]

what focus?

[snow rain]

right before the ones for bessarabia and karelia

baltic security maybe ?

[fringe spruce]

i cant start it

i try to start but the game doesnt let me to

[snow rain]

gimme a sec

[fringe spruce]

No: the politic paranoia is active

[snow rain]

booting up the game

[fringe spruce]

thanks

[snow rain]

"Not : Political paranoia is active" means you have to finish the purges first

[fringe spruce]

all of them?

[snow rain]

which you should have by the time you even consider annexing the baltics (late 1938-1939)

[snow rain]

yes

[sly venture]

WHO IS BRO

[snow rain]

paranoia must not appear in the decisions

[fringe spruce]

holy canoly

[snow rain]

under normal circumstances, purges should be done after 2 years and 4-5 months
April 1938 being the earliest and october 1938 being the latest you can reasonably get

840 days worth of focuses or waiting-to-be-able-to-select-focuses

[fringe spruce]

i am on 5 of sep 1938 and i dont have the baltics yet

[snow rain]

not really an issue, you'll need 75pp per decision anyway so start saving but still not having the purge done by now is worrying

[normal zinc]

Hello. How do I get rid of the Swiss Citizen Militias thing? How can I train an army as Sqitzerland?

[snow rain]

do the focus for it

it's somewhere on the left of the focus tree iirc

[normal zinc]

There are so many dead ends in this focus tree that stops you completely for a weird reason or so

[normal zinc]

looking for it

How do I get this focus done? how does this guy get those traits?

[snow rain]

likely linked to other focuses

[normal zinc]

T_T I really hate this tree. i cant find out where to get prerequisites

[cobalt gazelle]

does anyone knows how to make a mod? i'd like to make one but don't have that skill and i also want someone to join my team

[normal zinc]

cannot find them anywhere

[sly venture]

WHAT IS THIS FACTION BRO

[normal zinc]

French when they refuse to back down from German demands while UK does?

[snow rain]

or maybe linked to a leader change

[normal zinc]

I will try that

[lime sonnet]

lf people to play MD

[normal zinc]

TY! worked

[thorn sleet]

I balkanised Spain.

I think I neutralised Spain as an opponent and the border's are clean.

[vital cove]

which mod is that

[thorn sleet]

RT56

[mild musk]

Generals! @Hearts of Iron News

The time is soon upon you to defend the borders of Czechoslovakia with the upcoming release of Peace For Our Time, releasing April 22nd.

See you on the frontlines! 👉🏻 https://bit.ly/3PX4Hxo

[rain quail]

Funny how the first reaction is the middle finger

People are tired of dlcs

[pallid radish]

They should have done the Aussie one on the 25th of April (with a New Zealand rework) for ANZAC day lol bht nah 😭

[pallid radish]

Fix the game fr

[solemn kindle]

unexpected announcement jumpscare

[dense bane]

Did I miss the content devblogs for PFOT?
Or am I expecting another GOE pack

[slim nexus]

I mean, i get them, only like 4-6 DLCs have good mechanics and after u buy them, the other ones are unnecesary since the mods add way more content every mod than the pace of paradox development i think

And DLCs are overpriced atleast in my region considering they are just for focus trees

[winged field]

They are making Czechoslovakia stronger than it already is ✌️😭

[pallid radish]

Nah, I hear it is a single focus trees for Czechoslovakia made by modders overseen by paradox but idk

[winged field]

Absolute peak

[slim nexus]

Wasn't the hoi4 czechoslovakia actually weaker than irl one or smth?

[sudden thistle]

It’s paradox’s entire business model

So no

[slim nexus]

I heard some pple complain about it (?)

[sudden thistle]

No dev blog

1 country dlc made by mod devs i think

[winged field]

Irl one submitted to Kitler, the in game one can 1v1 Germany even now

[cedar frigate]

why do you guys shit so much on the new dlcs?

[winged field]

I'm looking forward to it ngl just bcs of monarch path

[fervent badger]

new hoi4 dlc real?

[winged field]

Although they kinda wasted the possibility of making resistance focus like Poland has

[ripe slate]

No, its a hoax /s

[slim nexus]

Wasn't it because of allied pressure or smth? It was said that the suddeteland forts would be good enough to actually resist and drain the german economy enough to peace out

Or so pple said in comments

[fervent badger]

czechoslovakia update real

let me guess focus tree?

[ripe slate]

Its on the store page 😄

[meager light]

what really is the point of releasing one new focus tree

[sudden thistle]

Yes

[winged field]

It wouldn't matter if the forts are good bcs Poland would surely want to take territories too, Hungary would also step in to take felvidek back

So it was loss/loss situation

[meager light]

could’ve at least reworked yugo and romania a bit

[proud sparrow]

There'll be dev diaries for it don't you worry

[fervent berry]

How much is the new Czechoslovakia dlc gonna cost?

[fervent berry]

Romanian focus tree needs a change ngl

[fervent badger]

yes, we need more focus trees

[meager light]

yeah it’s not great is it

[fervent berry]

Make another death or dishonor type dlc

[sudden thistle]

Oh I thought they would come before 8 days

[fervent badger]

we have a thirst for more focus trees real

[meager light]

I don’t even think romania or yugo need a proper new rework but a few touch ups would be nice

a bit like a remaster

[tacit citrus]

another hoi4 dlc? Ive already spent 200$ on dlcs

[fervent berry]

Tbh If the new Czechoslovakia dlc gonna also cost 30 euros istg

[fervent badger]

paradox wants your money

thats why

[meager light]

there’s a great czechoslovakia mod anyway

[south mountain]

Hello!

[meager light]

you can get it for free

[tacit citrus]

yea just mod

atp

[fervent berry]

Yeah I know I play that instead of the dlcs

[meager light]

hmm yes

[fervent badger]

paradox really wants your money i guess tho

[meager light]

I just pay the subscription anyway it feels a lot less awful losing like £25 every few months or whatever it is

than to actually buy all the dlc

[tacit citrus]

yea and then I just forget about it

[meager light]

and it can be cancelled if you ever decide to open a window or something

[tacit citrus]

we getting GTA6 before HOI5

[fervent berry]

Real

[meager light]

paradox try not to scam the community challenge

[fervent berry]

I think the best update for romania would be

That you can core some lands

And make a better industry tree

Like there's enough expansion in the current one but there's no new cores

[tacit citrus]

hoi4 make a new game with all the dlcs for 60$ or say nothing
hoi4:

[fervent berry]

And the 70 days focuses are tragic

[prisma zealot]

who doesn't love the allies to declare on you because the US don't like communists

[fervent berry]

All the dlcs cost like 200 something euros😭

If you add this new dlc it's gonna be even more

[meager light]

the soviet union will triumph over all reactionists don’t worry

[fervent berry]

Like I don't think I'm the only guy who thinks mods are better than some dlcs right?

[meager light]

every soviets game I have goes terribly because I forget to build up supply and airfields in siberia

[tacit citrus]

just play TGWR

[meager light]

or because someone declares on my turkey puppet and drags every major in

[fervent berry]

Why are you fighting in siberia

[tacit citrus]

great mod and needs no dlcs

[meager light]

japan

[fervent berry]

What's that

[fervent berry]

Oh

[tacit citrus]

the great war redux

[meager light]

I mean if I play historical I don’t get the issue

[tacit citrus]

ww1 mod

[meager light]

but historical is boring

[fervent berry]

Ohhh

I don't like that mod lol

[meager light]

devs are pricks

[fervent berry]

Scripted peace deals

Post war demobilization

[fervent berry]

And this

[meager light]

removed all the fun from germany because muh realism

[fervent berry]

Yeah

Kaiserreich is better

[tacit citrus]

us italy players are suffering

[meager light]

also blatant communists I’m pretty sure

[fervent berry]

Or kaiserredux

[fervent berry]

Ewww🤮

[meager light]

which is like a step up from fascists if you ask me

but there’s a lot of steps

[fervent berry]

Brother italy got a dlc only for them and switzerland wdym you're suffering

[fervent berry]

Yeah but it ain't much better

[meager light]

yeah that’s what I mean

[tacit citrus]

dlc

[meager light]

political extremism is doodoo

[shy dragon]

Is it weird that I’ve never really liked playing major nations? Like I’ve played Italy a few times when learning the game but nothing bigger than that

[fervent berry]

Where are you from

[meager light]

England

[fervent berry]

Probably means that you like challenges

Or something that's harder

[fervent berry]

Oh cool

[meager light]

I like the sort of rising nations

[tacit citrus]

I didnt want to pay another 10$ for a dlc just to play the most appealing country

[meager light]

ones that can become majors

[fervent berry]

True

[meager light]

like china or canada (although default canada tree isn’t great)

[fervent berry]

Dlcs are too expensive

[tacit citrus]

did that send twice

my internet is bad

[meager light]

yeah

[fervent berry]

I'd say something here but I cant cause imma get banned

[fervent berry]

Yeah like theres a lot of countries that need a rework

Istg if they make like

One country rework it's own dlc

[shy dragon]

I don’t like Norway base game focus tree but the road to 56 one is quite nice

[fervent berry]

I like the Norway focus tree

[shy dragon]

I hate having to sit at 0% base stability to engage in my nations primary mechanic

[meager light]

I think the rt56 nordic countries have more fun but less content than the DLCs

so theres positives and negatives

[shy dragon]

Yeah

[fervent berry]

I think mods outperform dlcs atp

Cause they're also free

[meager light]

yeah I’ll be upset if this czech tree isn’t better than the mod

I also hope they added slovakia content at least

so they could technically call it 2 countries

[fervent berry]

I'll be upset if this dlc costs 30 euros

Like brother

[shy dragon]

Yep, the only DLCs I think are actually worth it are NSB, BBA and AAT

[fervent berry]

Yeah

[shy dragon]

All the other ones I cannot be bothered to buy

[fervent berry]

And gotendamerung is good

[shy dragon]

True

[fervent berry]

Cause austria hungary germany belgium Congo focus tree

And the research stuff

[meager light]

I think götterdämmerung is probably the best DLC they’ve done

especially germany

all the paths are good

[fervent berry]

Yep

[meager light]

even the communist one

[fervent berry]

It's the best dlc in the game

[meager light]

communist trees suck for most nations

especially majors

[fervent berry]

There's 2 commie paths

1 fascist

1 kaiser

You can even get military dictatorship

Or get led by an admiral

Like they were cooking when they made that dlc

And the german civil war is easy af

[weary totem]

Yet another cash grab has hit the game

[meager light]

one of my favourite history topics is the GDR so it did freak me out seeing walter ulbricht and otto grotewohl as possible leaders

got to say the volksunion mechanic is sort of pointless

annexing them I mean

[fervent berry]

Hmm

Idk

I've never played communist germany

Tho tbh I think the best ideology is fascism

In hoi4

[meager light]

its good fun although I tend to make the soviets go monarchist

because who the hell wants friends

[fervent berry]

Lol

[distant knoll]

most coldest take in hoi4 history

[weary totem]

Didn't need to add this

[fervent berry]

Yeah

Democracy sucks

[fervent berry]

You can justify

[loud shuttle]

i am buying that czechoslovakia dlc the nanosecond it comes out 🙏

[weary totem]

Irl too

[meager light]

I do like democratic germany too which is a hard thing to admit

democratic china is alright too

[fervent berry]

Every germant path is good

[weary totem]

Only becouse it shares focuses with monarchy

[limber arrow]

Is the "Peace for our time" Focus pack only gonna be for czechoslovakia

[meager light]

although the last time I played democratic china I couldn’t annex my warlord puppets because of an interfering mod I had

[fervent berry]

Yes.

[limber arrow]

Ok

[distant knoll]

i mean you could say that for the monarchist path too

[loud shuttle]

WE are all playing the monarchy path first

[weary totem]

But its way cooler

[fervent berry]

Firstly I gotta see how expensive the dlc is

[distant knoll]

monarchy has aura none of the other ideologies can compare to

[distant knoll]

10 i think

[heavy vigil]

hi chatroom

[fervent berry]

Euros?

[meager light]

worst part of the germany tree is the flag change if you go social democracy

[fervent berry]

Hello

[distant knoll]

dollars

[fervent berry]

True

[meager light]

the adenauer path flag is so much nicer

[sly venture]

hopefully the marines willl break through

[fervent berry]

But the best in general is fascism cause ear goals

[heavy vigil]

PDX sells in EUR

[fervent berry]

War*

[fervent berry]

He lives in america

[distant knoll]

idk man i dont use the paradox website

i use steam

[fervent berry]

But still 10 dollars is pretty much 10 euros

[ripe slate]

Czechoslovakia will be €6/6$

[weary totem]

Not even close, its like 13-14

Dollars

[distant knoll]

bruh

[fervent berry]

YOOO

GOD BLESS PARADOX

🙏🙏🙏🙏

[distant knoll]

alot of money for one country bro

with no features either

[heavy vigil]

yes and they sell in EUR there too, and its not adjusted by currency

[distant knoll]

atp play a mod

[heavy vigil]

so it depends on EUR strenght

[cedar lance]

hello yalls

[ripe slate]

🥺 clearly you should buy 3 Czechoslovakia's at that price!

[snow mulch]

No bigger than usual free patch?

[distant knoll]

no it is, ive looked at steam things and its clear its cheaper in kazahkistan and brazil even if you convert

[fervent berry]

Good strategy if you use vpn i think

[meager light]

could buy an overpriced disgusting ‘coffee’ from starbucks for that though so its clearly not worth it

[fervent berry]

I think there was a way to get cheaper games

[heavy vigil]

shouldnt be afaik according to their policies

[fervent berry]

In my country I could buy mcdonals with that money

[meager light]

the benefits of a poor economy

[ripe slate]

Czechoslovakia>McDonalds

[fervent berry]

The benefits of romania

[meager light]

yeah

[fervent berry]

True

[meager light]

I mean mcdonald’s here isn’t that overpriced

[cedar lance]

7 days left

[fervent berry]

Like seriously Czechoslovakia was chill af

They broke up peacefully

No wars no nothing

(Ignore the soviet invasion)

That was shitty ahh communists

[loud shuttle]

10 years and 5 weeks later.. best dlc in hoi4

[meager light]

fun fact the GDR didn’t participate in prague spring because the soviets thought germans entering czechoslovakia again might be received poorly

[fervent berry]

Romania didn't participate

Cause our leader said

[misty fossil]

bro

3k guns a day 😭

[distant knoll]

wait i think they changed it in january

[meager light]

we love you ceaucescu

just ignore those romanian orphanage problems

[fervent berry]

How do you know this

How in God's name

[cedar lance]

cant wait for the PFOT

[fervent berry]

PEOPLE OUTSIDE OF ROMANIA KNOW OUR SHITTY COMMUNISM?

[distant knoll]

the romanians didnt even let soviets station any troops in romania

[meager light]

I study psychology and it’s came up a few times in my life as a result

[fervent berry]

Yeah our leader hated the ussr

[distant knoll]

no wonder they didnt get half of the equipment they could get

[fervent berry]

He wanted to get independent from the ussr/warsaw pact

[distant knoll]

me when no MI24

[fervent berry]

Lol

[meager light]

well I do neuroscience at uni now mainly but the course still includes social psychology and whatnot

[distant knoll]

be like enver hoxha and leave

[fervent berry]

Kinda hard when the ussr is at your border😇

[meager light]

and romanian orphanages are an interesting study on the topic of child development

because uhh they sucked

real bad

[fervent berry]

Yeah

[distant knoll]

yeah ive ready about em too

[fervent berry]

Also abortions were illegal

Condoms were illegal

[distant knoll]

lower iq development, attachment issues, language learning disabilities

[prisma saddle]

guys what is this dlc omg is soo poor and the icons there like only 3 custom that they made and didnt re-used

aw

[fervent berry]

People were sometimes getting them from yugoslavia

[severe ice]

did bohemia dlc get released

[fervent berry]

22nd of april

[fervent berry]

And going outside of the country was illegal

Without connections

[ripe slate]

🤷‍♂️ most stuff already had a fitting icon

[distant knoll]

get ready for 50,000 videos leaching this one DLC

[fervent berry]

So pretty much in communist romania if you were caught having a condom you'd go to prison

[atomic grove]

beta?

[fervent berry]

And idk if you know

[prisma saddle]

look at teh focus

damn

[prisma saddle]

dlc

[fervent berry]

But those communist prisons

[fervent berry]

They were uhh

[ripe slate]

😛 I worked on it, Ive seen it

[fervent berry]

Not the most human friendly

[prisma saddle]

its only that?

[atomic grove]

yeah ik, i meant the beta for the dlc

is it?

[prisma saddle]

they could have made somethinf cool for the czech

[fervent berry]

I mean what other icons could they make

[meager light]

go raw or go home as they say

[ripe slate]

the focus tree? theres a lot more than that

[prisma saddle]

lets hope

[ripe slate]

[fervent berry]

Plus ain't no one care that much about visuals of the focus tree

Only what it gives

[prisma saddle]

i wanna see a strong czech

[meager light]

to be fair the tree looks like it just gives you the same wargoals more than once

[fervent berry]

Probably early stuff

[misty fossil]

lol massive encirclement

[fervent berry]

The dlc will probably be different

[prisma saddle]

MH isnt that bulgarian socialist path?

[ripe slate]

the formable name and flag is reused yeh, but it works and how you get to it is new

[fervent berry]

Yeah ita also for bulgaria

Also since when tf is czechia balkan

[prisma saddle]

some good new

s

[prisma saddle]

fr

neither hungary is

[ripe slate]

its not yeh

[fervent berry]

Well

[ripe slate]

Hungary and Austria being called that is only because their overlord is

[fervent berry]

I can already guess this will be better than the bulgarian one

Cause more cores

[prisma saddle]

we love bulgaria

[fervent berry]

Yeah

[fervent berry]

Cause puppet mechanics

[prisma saddle]

https://tenor.com/view/bulgaristan-bulgaria-bulgaria-flag-gif-23454214

[fervent berry]

They claim and they stole romanian territory so no

[prisma saddle]

W bulgaria

[prisma saddle]

take all dobruja in the world

[fervent berry]

Nah

[prisma saddle]

yea yea

[fervent berry]

It's rightfully romanian

[prisma saddle]

all for them

no more

now is BLG

[fervent berry]

And now sofia is romanian

And plovdid

And varna

And burgas

And dobrich

[loud shuttle]

and pula

[fervent berry]

Hehehehehe

[prisma saddle]

nein nein

bulgarian reich

[cedar lance]

i cant wait to export arms

[fervent berry]

How will the export arms feature work

[fervent berry]

Is there like a dev diary showing stuff

[prisma saddle]

what?

[fervent berry]

For the new dlc

[cedar lance]

thats what im asking also

[fervent berry]

Get ready for the 20th bittersteel germany guide even tho this is Czechoslovakia dlc

[weary totem]

I just know the next ISP vid is gonna be about it or TFR

[loud shuttle]

yea germany will need a guide cause czechoslovakia will be OP now trust

[mellow jetty]

[fervent berry]

Lore accurate RAF

[loud shuttle]

[fervent berry]

https://tenor.com/view/british-britsh-army-british-empire-gif-22812559

[fervent berry]

Royal airforce

[loud shuttle]

??

oh

[fervent berry]

British airforce during ww2

[loud shuttle]

you mean they sucked?

[fervent berry]

No

I meant to say say your airforce is like the raf

[undone vale]

i cant get over her bro

[fervent berry]

Cause the raf was very good

[undone vale]

this is so unserious

[loud shuttle]

oh ok

i might do a historical britain game

why is destroying the enemies airforce so satisfying

[solemn pond]

can somebody explain the point of armtracks? how are they better than mechanized?

[craggy trail]

Mechanized but for river crossings, straights, and amphibious landings

[solemn pond]

do they have overall better stats though?

[craggy trail]

It’s weaker than regular mechanized divisions

[solemn pond]

but don't they get buffs from special unit doctrines?

[craggy trail]

They certainly do on the lower left tract

[heavy vigil]

hiii tails

https://tenor.com/view/mlp-wave-starlight-glimmer-my-little-pony-gif-15897868

Heya Casey!

[fervent berry]

Does the cruiser strategy for navy still work?

[heavy vigil]

this is like my second or third time being a GP and def first time as fifth :3

portugal is so OP,,,,,,

[fervent berry]

The one where you get light cruisers with light attack to screen the cruisers with heavy attack

[craggy trail]

I wish I could still play Vic 3, but my laptop just isn’t at its specs for it

[fervent berry]

Relatable

[winged field]

cl spam?

torpedo is more efficient now

dd's torpedo preferably but you can do lc torpedo too if you really want

[craggy trail]

I can play early game, but everything after 1870 starts becoming 1 hour to get past a few years

[fervent berry]

Ok

Thx

[fervent berry]

Dang

I've never played vic 3

But my laptop lags on hoi4 so

Is vic 3 also like hoi4?

Cpu torture

[heavy vigil]

yeahh :( game runs really poorly

[winged field]

how bad is it? I have whole tutorial to de lag hoi 4 to the sealing potential if you want

[weary totem]

Eu5 has joined the chat

[fervent berry]

Can you send me that tutorial

[winged field]

[fervent berry]

Do all paradox games have the clausewitz engine?

[trim plume]

[weary totem]

My austria game is softlocked in 1487

[fervent berry]

Cause I lowkey hate that engine

[trim plume]

yes

stupid

[weary totem]

Yup

[fervent berry]

That engine is just cpu hell

[trim plume]

its paradox man what do you expect

[fervent berry]

Kills your cpu

[trim plume]

they even removed the good naval ai

[weary totem]

It needs to change for hoi5

[craggy trail]

Millennium Dawn unofficial becomes a mod that takes an hour to pass a year

Hope's potato pc guide ✨

• Disable everything in settings except rivers and full resolution rendering. change resolution to 1366 fullschreen.
• You will always want to launch the exe file in directory so steam doesnt consume any of your ram (you can launch from steam when you want to get your achievements updated ). Download driver booster and memory reduct (both free) restart your pc.
• Start with launching memory redux and clear your ram (go in settings and turn the auto cleaning ram after 96% of ram usage. You can exit that now. Go to driver booster and turn the turbo mode on, exit it. Now launch hoi 4 exe from directory.
• Once the menu is loaded go to task manager, click hoi4 go to details, change priority to high, exit task manager and go back to hoi4. Before you start your actual game (iron mode to get achievements) start a random game without achievements so you can access console, type: debug_smooth. You can exit that playthrough and go back to your main one with iron mode since this command stays until you leave the whole game.
• Having too many saves also may impact your perfomance so if you know you are not going back to that saved playthrough delete it. Download fps map mod, it works with iron mode too.
• Deleting your old equipment type from stockpile (old type of guns, tanks, etc.) will also help with the lag.

[iron iron]

Uniting the Balkans would be the first 4th world country and civil war speed run

[craggy trail]

Regardless of how good your laptop/desktop is

[fervent berry]

If I play past 1945 as the usa in hoi4 it takes like 1 hour to pass 1 year

It took me 7 HOURS TO GET THEB1948 ACHIEVMENT😭

[iron iron]

My brother pc is so FUCMING bad

[fervent berry]

Pretty much

[iron iron]

Like 1 hour is once second

[fervent berry]

This needs to be pinned

[iron iron]

A 70 day focus is like a year on my pc

[trim plume]

can we have a step by step guide im not reading allat

[craggy trail]

[fervent berry]

[fervent berry]

[fervent berry]

How will the export arms future work tho

Cause we already have lend lease and international market

[sly venture]

hope we have enough planes

[weary totem]

Understand navy like this?

[trim plume]

international market relies on like the AI WANTING to buy

export arms is like okay this will happen for CERTAIN and won't be intercepted

[weary totem]

Do you make planes @tired tendon

[fervent berry]

Ahh

[weary totem]

Planes are very important

[fervent berry]

Ok

[trim plume]

i can see the carrier

[cedar lance]

ill export arms to others As Estonia aswell

[fervent berry]

Planes for carriers?

Or just naval bombers

[weary totem]

No, in general

[fervent berry]

Ah

Yeah

Air superiority is important

[weary totem]

If he ignores cas its the reason hes losing

[fervent berry]

Tho planes are very easy to make ngl

[winged field]

if you have enough ram yes but this guide is for like bottom potato pc's

[fervent berry]

If you have the by blood alone dlc

[winged field]

Im talking about that kind of pc's that can only have 3gb for hoi 4

[trim plume]

i have 2

is that better

[fervent berry]

Go steal some

[winged field]

you should be able to get 3gb with ease with that guide, hopefully

[fervent berry]

If you're romanian you get +10% stealing speed buff

[trim plume]

also wont debug_smooth make the game's fps look awful

but it runs atleast

from what i understand

[winged field]

yes but we want maximum in game clock speed

or thats the goal at least for me

[trim plume]

90 years for 5 days in hoi4

is 2026

[winged field]

any not historical game after 41

[trim plume]

is that modded for it to fit allat ships

or just

[craggy trail]

[fervent berry]

Is begging allowed here

[cedar lance]

[trim plume]

ts hearts of iron 4

[craggy trail]

EaW has late game tech borrowed from Road to 56 and Extended Tech Tree 1960

[fervent berry]

Dlc begging🤑

[tired tendon]

yep

[cedar lance]

most of my Economy and industry will go to cover the material cost of ww2

[fervent berry]

Cool

[tired tendon]

i merge them into wings and bomb uk

[trim plume]

wow i LOOOOVE dlcs

[cedar lance]

just like IRL

[trim plume]

paradox slop

is so GOOOD

[tired tendon]

but i lose planes to ships in 30 to 1 ratio

[trim plume]

give me an update which ruins naval ai

YAAAY

YAAAAAY

[fervent berry]

Spending 200 euros on dlcs is SOOOOOOO GOOOOOOOOD

And base game 50 euros

Makes it even better

[tired tendon]

are you uk or itay

[weary totem]

What kind of planes

[trim plume]

99 trillion usd for a singular expansion pack for a paradox game in the near future

[weary totem]

Italy spamming light cruisers

[craggy trail]

Like Escalation 84 just brings Cold War Humans to Equestria. Soviet Union, USA, European Union

[fervent berry]

you know that if they could they would do that rn

[weary totem]

Send your plane designs

[tired tendon]

i use them mainly to break through uk, so CAS or sea bombers

[loud shuttle]

is this a good tank?

[weary totem]

Send designs

[trim plume]

all soft no hard

thats a good

[weary totem]

What about fighters?

[trim plume]

like infantry destroyer

[tired tendon]

havent got dlc for that

[tired tendon]

this too

[fervent berry]

No hard attack?

[weary totem]

England has alot of fighters

[trim plume]

prob inf destroyer

[fervent berry]

This is good for fighting soviets

Cause they send millions of men

[weary totem]

Go play italy

Its easier

[loud shuttle]

im playing uk rn

[tired tendon]

im playing germany

[fervent berry]

Well

Put some hard attack on those tanks

[tired tendon]

everyone's sayinh its the easiest country

[fervent berry]

Cause germany doesn't have only infantry

[tired tendon]

and ik what they mean

[weary totem]

You have more responsibility as germany

[tired tendon]

everything before uk invasion is easy

conquering poland

sweden

denmark

norway

everything is easy ag

af

[trim plume]

max hard attack no soft attack bouta be lit

[tired tendon]

but uk just stalls me so long that us joins the war which is instalose for me

[loud shuttle]

how do you suggest i do that

[trim plume]

theres literally

[fervent berry]

Yeah when I started playing the game that's the exact mistake I was making and then I was wondering why i was dying

[tired tendon]

ig

[fervent berry]

Change the canon

Put the canon instead of the howitzer

I thin that's how you get hard attack

[trim plume]

actually quick question is going over 80 for reliability worth it?

[fervent berry]

I personally don't think it is

Unless you're fighting in siberia or some shit

[tired tendon]

but its easier i think still, you got a ton of snowball focuses allowing you to get like 400 factories quickly

[trim plume]

so like

50-70%?

[fervent berry]

Yeah

Keep it over 50%

[trim plume]

wow im

really stupid

ive been going over 80 ever since

[fervent berry]

I think reliability only matters when attritioning

So if you have supply you shouldn't worry about reliability

[trim plume]

my supply is always red because i alone consume 800% of supply

[fervent berry]

Damn

[trim plume]

and also because every single time i buff the ai they always get max air

[cedar lance]

hello yalls

[trim plume]

even when i spam agility and anti air

as well as air attack

[fervent berry]

Uhhh

[fervent berry]

Hello

[trim plume]

kirby quick question

[cedar lance]

as USA im gonna sell export give licenses and lend lease to allies faction

[trim plume]

can you win against

like ai production being 50x better than yours

[fervent berry]

Do you count better as in more numbers or as in quality?

Cause if it's numbers it's possible

[trim plume]

80 trillion planes, thousands of boats

and endless amount of divisions they can freely lose because

[fervent berry]

Depends on the quality

If they're shitty yeah

[trim plume]

what if they are good

[fervent berry]

It'll be like fighting the soviets

[fervent berry]

Uhhh

How good

[trim plume]

sheep ai + better ai + 3x cas damage mod (works universally)

[cedar lance]

good idea ?

[fervent berry]

I'd kms

[fervent berry]

Yes

[trim plume]

ah

thank you bro

[cedar lance]

since im gonna produce a LOT of stuff As usa

[trim plume]

its OVER for the philippines

🙏

[fervent berry]

Lol

[cedar lance]

ill sell a lot of stuff off

[trim plume]

okay so what do i actually do in this situation

because the allies and axis are in an endless naval war

and an endless air war

[fervent berry]

when 2 people fight the 3rd one wins

[trim plume]

atleast japan hasn't touched me yet they are very busy in china

[fervent berry]

Just wait for them to kill eachoter

While you build up

Then jump in the war to kill everyone

[trim plume]

vro

wdym jump in the war

[fervent berry]

Join the war

[trim plume]

i have 2 fill divisions of infantry and 9 spec rangers

[fervent berry]

Hm

[trim plume]

full*

[fervent berry]

Oh

[cedar lance]

how much stuff should i export and sell as USA?

like IF i have millions of techs and equipments

[tired tendon]

btw how did you do this

[fervent berry]

Good kriegsmarine

[copper sluice]

is czechoslovakia the only new thing in the dlc?

[trim plume]

i love czechoslovakia only dlc

lets ignore the problems

in the previous update

and just spam as many dlcs to distract them

[fervent berry]

We all love Czechoslovakia

[copper sluice]

what problems

[trim plume]

naval ai still being garbage

[copper sluice]

[trim plume]

[tropic trout]

[trim plume]

hmm

[ivory hull]

[brittle rivet]

[tropic trout]

ig my elites are gonna be mountaineers

[ivory hull]

[brittle rivet]

[fervent berry]

[ivory hull]

[tropic trout]

iirc you cant even edit tanks without nsb

[fervent berry]

Yeah

You cant

[trim plume]

not one step back

more like

step back

[cedar lance]

i have ALL dlcs and expansions

[fervent berry]

Do you have the template for the spa

[trim plume]

wait you guys have SPA?

in ur

divs?

[fervent berry]

Artilerjia

[trim plume]

i meant SPAA

my bad

[ivory hull]

its spg

[trim plume]

no

spaa

[fervent berry]

Ah

I thought it's spa cause self propelled artillery

[ivory hull]

this is kinda the optimal one, just get the most soft attack really

[fervent berry]

Those are just space marines

[trim plume]

wdym

[ivory hull]

self propelled gun

[ivory hull]

no?

[trim plume]

hes literally soft attack maxxing

its so peak

[ivory hull]

thats self propelled anti air

[fervent berry]

Oh

My bad

[fervent berry]

Ahh

[trim plume]

also btw what does SPAA even DO

[fervent berry]

Shoot down planes

[trim plume]

yeah b

other than that

it it useful

[fervent berry]

Idk

[ivory hull]

the reason for anti air is to shoot down planes

[fervent berry]

Isn't building planes better than building spaa?

Or nah

[trim plume]

is making a full division filled with spaa

good

for anti-air

[ivory hull]

not really

[ivory hull]

of course

[fervent berry]

It needs mechanised

[trim plume]

y

[fervent berry]

Or just motorised infantry

Depends

[ivory hull]

cavalry works fine

[fervent berry]

Or that

Just anything to give it org i think

[crystal marsh]

it disgusts me how ungrateful this community is

[trim plume]

no it is very acceptable

mr house w bush

[crystal marsh]

like the focus pack will only be 5ish dollars

i make that in 30 minutes

[fervent berry]

They're giving feedback

[ivory hull]

and the rest werent at all

the community just says what they think

[tropic trout]

guys stop being negative against the huge greedy corpo

[trim plume]

pr team is the community receiving a good update

[trim plume]

no

we need to strike down paradox

[tropic trout]

they deserve sucking out as much as they can from the community guys

[crystal marsh]

i never said paradox wasnt greedy, but their high prices are nothing new

[trim plume]

we need to blame the people running hoi4 paradox dev team

they are rushing these dlcs like nun

[sudden thistle]

True

[trim plume]

and not fixing the

ai

[tropic trout]

oh my god bruh

[fervent berry]

It's a paradox

[crystal marsh]

and for some reason people only now have a problem with it

[trim plume]

not the hoi4 leading devs

[crystal marsh]

5 years ago the dlc were much more underwhelming and mundane

[trim plume]

the people forcing the leading devs

[fervent berry]

They can't make a new game without it having 20 dlcs

[tropic trout]

"blame the devs that are working hard not the corpo suits rushing them for profit"

[trim plume]

to create such stupid

[fervent berry]

Costing 200 euros in total

[trim plume]

decisions

[crystal marsh]

and people were completely fine with prices

[tropic trout]

oh so not the dev team

the suits

[crystal marsh]

gee, as if they didnt launch sales every 2 months or so

[weary totem]

Its getting worse, each new dlc is more broken than the last

[trim plume]

the hidden gun barrel behind their heads

[sudden thistle]

Why do h have ur hours in ur username

[trim plume]

update*

[tropic trout]

because the dlcs at least kinda deserved it

[trim plume]

as well

[fervent berry]

Great flex ig

[crystal marsh]

nah, it adds more features and metaheads are crying because their entire strategy has gone to shit

[trim plume]

i have 2k hours on hoi4 my mental state is very good

[crystal marsh]

really?

[tropic trout]

five hundredth time ive been asked this question, i just saw someone like that when i first joined and thought it was standard

[fervent berry]

I have 1k and I dream achtung

[crystal marsh]

la resistance is probably one of the worst dlcs content wise

[trim plume]

im not mad at the new features im mad at how bad they are implementing it

[crystal marsh]

and yet people were fine with paying 20 bucks

[weary totem]

Was the graveyard of empires totally balanced with no exploits at launch

[tropic trout]

top ten worst takes imaginable

[trim plume]

i love graveyard of bumpires

[crystal marsh]

ill give you that one, it was half baked at start

[trim plume]

give me afghanistan with issues please

[crystal marsh]

but after 10s of patches it became playable

[weary totem]

Useless without collab govs

[crystal marsh]

goetterdaemmerung which only costs 5 bucks more has 3x as many features

[tropic trout]

some of the most fun focus trees in the entire game
"useless"

[weary totem]

France? Fun?

[trim plume]

hes talking bout the spy mechanic

[weary totem]

Spain is NOT fun

[trim plume]

which is like indeed not good

bec they take to long to be significant

except collab

[tropic trout]

i should have never added a discussion in the damn hoi4 discord

[crystal marsh]

all focus trees there are small and basic

and nearly all icons are generic

[fervent berry]

Bruh

[crystal marsh]

im sorry but in no world is la resistance better than any modern expansion

[trim plume]

whos slandering the france slander tree

[crystal marsh]

any expansion that followed was in some way better

[fervent berry]

Graveyard of empires?

[trim plume]

hes comparing GOE and LR

[fervent berry]

That's like comparing a hydrogen bomb and a coughing baby

[trim plume]

yeah ik

[crystal marsh]

the most fun path is only like 10 focuses

[crystal marsh]

notice how i said expansion

not dlc

you cant compare an expansion with a dlc, obviously an expansion has more content

[fervent berry]

Yeah

But la resistance isn't bad

[crystal marsh]

an expansion with a country pack*

[trim plume]

just say its an expansion pack

[crystal marsh]

its not bad

but its definetly not worth the 20 bucks

[fervent berry]

That I think everyone can agree on

But what can you do

[trim plume]

play hoi4 modded

[crystal marsh]

the only thing espionage is useful for is collab governments, avoiding germany annexing sudetenland as austria hungary and achievements

[ripe slate]

The best tree parts on Italy are available without the DLC too

[crystal marsh]

im sorry but if espionage released today paradox would get cancelled

[fervent berry]

Oh cool

[trim plume]

someone go bakc in time

rn

please

im begging

[fervent berry]

The thing is

That dlc was released in like

2021?

202?

2022?

Idk

[crystal marsh]

were ignoring the part how real modders outside of paradox partook in the creation of this focus pack

so there might be some real potential here

[trim plume]

2022-2023

[crystal marsh]

so you yourself admit that its not comparable to modern quality

[fervent berry]

Yeah

Of course something newer will always be better than something older

[candid spire]

2020

[trim plume]

i feel like the espionage mechanic coulda done better if it's days were reduced and the amount of intel you have like 70% civ intel boosts sabotages related to civ

[fervent berry]

Yeah

It's 6 years old

[crystal marsh]

good, so we do agree that goetterdaemmerung and ncns are better than la resistance

[trim plume]

when are they fixing the naval ai

[crystal marsh]

is it not working?

[candid spire]

I would say the espionage can be pretty useful even beyond collab
