uk seems to be doing better than they were 2-3 years ago
How?
you know theres a problem when you can naval invade britain as bhutan, which was fully possible before 1.15
its as intelligent as a reddit mod going outside and interacting with another person
So not at all ok
they are stuck waiting in their dockyards
naval system could be better, but its definetly much better/realistic than it used to be
ai
the system is fine
its just the ai
The hoi4 ai works in mysterious ways
its not like ai was any better beforehand
I meant to say as in its stupid
the naval ai was somewhat better before the system was implemented
from my point of view
because they always used their ships
even the terrible ones
its sad how ever since goe released, the hoi community will just bark at ANY update paradox releases, and once it does theyll just overexaggerate the few bad parts of it
Its feedback bro
they need to address the feedback bro
Genuinely what is wrong with the british
they are smart
started bc i took luxemburg
guaranteed luxemburg
is crazy
belgium i understand
honestly i cant naval invade britain as germany anymore
nah they didnt even guarantee it
just invited them to their faction as soon as i attacked them
no, its the normal democrat uk, guarantees everyone above 25% world tension
evil uk is not doing guarantees after 25 world tension
if i remember correctly, world tension was at 9%
than it is some random hoi4 shit
hey there, i never said paradox was a good corporation
theres no WAY
theyre just assholes
the coding for some stuff is just bad
They always are
in these cases
in an ideal world dlcs would only be limited to alt history focus trees, with all mechanics and historical trees being in the base game
theyre just assholes like we aint talking bout the uk here
this is just straight up bullcrap
or at the very least decrease the price of both the base game and the dlcs
i dont even have a navy
we live in a post society of paradox not being punished
they need to make a more complex german focus tree
I suppose sales exist for a reason
But 50 euros for base game is crazy work
Political pressure for non agression pact, you can get some good combat bonuses too iirc pretty much nukes entrenchment if you have spy network, also for naval I am pretty sure you can see what type of naval mission the country you have spy on is using
my problem is that the hoi community overhates dlcs
anything bad gets way more hate than what it actually deserves
brits are so dramatic
Oh yeah I forgot about those
Or political pressure for some decisions
That too
Like it is kinda tedious to use but still not as bad as sometimes presented
they more than deserve criticism
i think its bc its overpriced
but at the very least let it be respectful, not just middle finger reacting any announcement they make regarding game updates
and they add stuff in dlcs that should be in the base game anyway
I honestly wish you could automate the agency upgrades so I would not have to bother with it
i just dont use them at all
Stellaris
Like you can do with MIO
There's a mod for that
I love stellaris, gets laggy too fast and i suck at it
theres a cutoff point at which you cant just add an infinite amount of focuses, you need to be able to complete most of them in 10 years
rate my flame tank
good point
But i feel like the tank designer should be in the base game bc i personally cant afford it
Ah should have thought of that I see it on workshop now
I regret inviting italy into my faction
all features should be in the base game
along with all historical focus trees
Looks good, though I would up tick the engine a bit more. Medium flame tank would be a lot better.
we are at war with the uk, Usa, communist china, soviet union and Romania
true
ROMANIA MENTIONED🇷🇴
Yeah
They should make hoi4 free and add paid skins and make it pay to win with battlepass
Those should be in base game
You can't really make a strategy game p2w
insane buffs for whoever buys hoi4 premium
No
they should charge money for server hosting
YOU WILL GET 20% MORE RESEAECH SPEED IF YOU SPEND 1 EURO MONTHLY ON THIS BATTLEPAS
Ain't no one making hoi4 fortnite
???
So they make money

yeah it is
thats why it stops the moment the host disconnects
i mean, im pairing it with inf so. it dont need speed
Make it a medium tank
Understandable
Would be much better
btw how does the specforce limit work
ok
6 bucks, not bad
The limit is based on how large your army is
You get more special limit by larger army
thx
isnt the whole dlc subscription like 8 bucks
Buthan has little
Not bad
either stack breakthrough or make it cheap
all other debuffs are just too high to make out anythigng else
what do i do with the reliability
If you have the expansion pass, you get everything that comes with the pass. It's pretty much a pay once, forget later
Yeah but it gets to a point where it will cost more then buying the dlcs
i hate the coal system
Ignore it
in about 3 years or so
sure
Wait actually?
should i just switch to diesel?
also, always use medium flame tanks
light flame tanks are only useful for paratroopers
we love the british east india company
i switched to diesel and bumped up the engine
is it worth building rocket sites if im gonna bomb the uk with the basic ballistics
honestly i recommend the dlc subscription to any new player
Make it a medium tank then make the engine cheaper cause speed doesn't matter if you use it with infantry
Mhm
Good way to test the dlcs yeah
That's what I did
I also think theres like
youd need to play at least 2 years to start benefitting from having permanently bought the dlcs
and 2 years from now hoi5 will be in production
15 euros for 3 months
(hopefully)
Or something
I am not sure if there is really any point in getting armor up for flame tank its better to make it faster I would say
look i havent researched later models yety
do i get these

Uhh
Yeah sure
I didn't even know they made those
The plushie of the boat looks cool tho
stop adding soft attack modules
How much they cost
you're getting half those stats
use flame tanks to stack breakthrough, you can get around 50 if you do it correctly
lowkey peak tank, although id add christie suspension
sorry torsion bar
mixed the 2 up
why not
ignore speed in your case
isnt soft attack whats needed to melt inf
-60% debuff, high cost for no stats
and inf lacks breakthrough, not atk stats
a romanov leading the ussr 🙏
oh ok
?
breakthrough
its not worth the cost
ok
Honestly, since it's going with infantry, the extra breakthrough is somewhat nice to have.
Too expensive to be worth it
.8 IC
It is
That explains why whenever I play with an American he lags
Usually whoever has the best internet hosts
And has the most dlc preferably
Yeah but still pretty far away
Yeah
I think I got like 300k ping on some American server for another game 4 years ago
Lol
thats gotta be impossible
thats 300 seconds
5 minutes
any server would kick you out automatically for not responding
Maybe it was 250k?
But I know the delay was 5 minutes ish
The game has TERRIBLE multiplayer
does hoi4 not have no respawn checks 😭 if not why does it say desync sometimes 😭
True
Very rarely
Whenever it feels like it
It wasn’t hoi4
ohhh what game
What was it
Lemme get its steam link
oh ok
Peak
I have a question
How often do multiplayer games get hosted here?
And what do I need to do to host
Just check the multiplayer channels
Play games first before hosting
Ok thanks
i am making a lot of medium range nuclear missles but i dont know how to use them, can someone help me? when i try to do a atomic raid it wont let me use them saying i dont have any nuclear missles
yet i have 35 in stockpile
Don't you need missile sites?
You know
huh\
im pretty sure i have some already
Stuff from where you launch your missiles
DO you have strategic bombers
so apparently austria was a ok but luxembourg is a step too far
yes
Hmm
but i want to use missles
Weird
i have 16 atomic bombs though
oh my god he did it
@tropic trout Niko ❤️
Build missile sites
artstrotzka ❤️
Within range of target
ok
i already did that a second ago
Are you sure
i have 2K hours and never used missiles
U know how to put planes in airbases
Do that, but with the missiles/rocket sites
ok ty
Then u should be able to make a nuclear missile strike the same way u do a nuclear bomb
also niko one
russian niko nahh
does RT56 add any really relevant research
especially for tanks
ye also fun little detail: The flag on his arm is upside down
i feel like it doesn't add much
SERBIAAAAAAAAAA
(btw niko is they)
In the tank tab literally 1 tech I added
In the arty tab we add some late-game tank guns
@hardy kestrel that was completely inappropriate
💔 He is sayin I am fat too
gng
Equestria at War mainly
how much is the Czechoslovakia dlc going to cost?
€6
that’s surprisingly reasonable
:)
real
i thought it said garden train republic 🥀
NIKO
get 3 for all your friends ;3
I don't want more 30$ dlcs
I expected them to try to sell it for like 20 USD
that add 2 skins u can mod
Wait 2 Nikos???
@bold rune @tropic trout I think ya 2 could be friends
If this dlc is gonna be good and have a great focus tree for Czechoslovakia then this might be paradox comeback lol
hell yeah we got supply in urals
heresy
you vill starve und you vill like it
i mean not all of paradox is like hoi4
hoi4 is in the worst state among the 4 mainline games rn
ck3 and vic3 are going really well, while eu5 is in its average mid
nah modding is keeping it the best
Yeah I know
I'm just saying about hoi4
we need hoi5
this is disgusting and i love it
I feel like CK3 DLC dont fix that the core gameplay loop is really easy
border gore
where
ck3 is meant for larp
Vic3 is goated with dlc so far I think
want to play as other countrys? buy our dlc that cost 40 dollars
it's supposed to be easy so you can larp easier
also the content doesnt work, have fuuun!!!
nowhere, this is peak
I DIDN'T SAY OWNED BY EA
not core
game lagged
and russia fell
🤑
Greed, Lust, all gone. With Gluttony soon to follow. Your kind know NOTHING but hunger, purged all life on the upper layers, and yet they remain unsatiated. As do you. You've taken EVERYTHING from me machine, and now all that remains is PERFECT. HATRED.
IS tis I have a mouth but I don't want to scream?
in this mod french has good content
BRO
why did lil bro force his way in 😭
censor fr*nch
nobody want you here get out 😭

What mod

kk
also btw
can anyone recommend me sum good special projects mods?
how do i disable ui
I want MORE special projects
yummers
I need my exotic tech
i don't use special projects too much
ik their mid but I use em cuz they r cool
like I love driving into paris w a P1000 Ratte
console -> debug_nogui
yo ru know stuff bout modding right?
Yes
😭
Can u recommend me good special project addition mods and/or mods that add more cool late game tech?
is there anyway to see the divisions only
I have a feeling you have a slight deficient
it doesnt add tech right
i hate when it adds stupid tech
cuz I love prototypes oversized stuff like the p1000 Ratte
it does
I think you need steel
For techs, Road to 56, for special projects I dont know any
yeah
theres a special project mod
Road to 56 would prob break a lot of my other mods that add quality of life & other stuff
:0
am i schizo or did they add the warframemusic thing for europe in flames
maybe both-
jokes aside
name me the mod please
idk then
I got like 5 special projects mods rn
It is my obsession
prototype weapons
etc
sad
@last cosmos on what version do you play
latest
game doesnt launch wtf
yep this one
great
You gotta downgrade version I imagine
he said he played on the latest
that screenshot says 1.15.0 though maybe thats just the mod version
It's the mod version I think
Yeh it is
He needs to reinstall the mod
whats the meta marine for japan?
bro
wth
i am done with this shitty ass game , Czechoslovakia rejected me sudentland in historical
those who know
they have 500 guarantees
hope you can still refund
cooked
airforcemaxxing
hate when it does that
just improve opinion
i thought ai was hard locked into accepting any demand that it did in real life
if its historical
historical ai behaves ahistorical if anyone country behaves ahistorical
No oilmaxxing
yea 😔
a little bit too many ships
so?
1951 navy 💀
what mod is this?
discord mod
Hello, is it appropriate to ask if something is a bug or a feature in this channel ? 🙂
should I report this as a bug or is it intended ?
its because of the fixed turret
it doesnt allow the AA role
because the turret cant like turn
in all of my game time that has almost never happened to me; what is your germany build?
750K soldiers on the dot in like late 39 late 40 maybe
and not equipped
Most likely that yeah
that makes sence, but when you select the AA gun fro medium armaments it is asking for a fixed turret
yea kinda what i would expect
well no, you can do it unequipped in 37
its a combination of things
Yeah
brazil will countries join me regardless which tree i pick nonaligned or democratic?
well 1936 even unequipped
You can rush anschluss and sudetenland
in united states of south america
🤑
on austria?
No
Iwas replying to the south america guy
makes more sense
Always love people getting rid of communists
That's the communist usa right?
yea
satisfaction
yea
is this the super heavy tank icon?
That's the land cruiser i think
what is it? should be a support division
weird
It's the land cruiser most likely
Do you have no step back?
ok thanks, cuz there was this video i wanted to test
yeah all dlcs
W
its the land cruiser
collapsing world mentioned
german guy on youtube running a ton of divisions through some algorithms to come out with the "best division" i wanted to try it in single player here is the full template
i'll probably swap it out with something else like anti air
oh hell nah
bro tf is this
36w for offense
Take this video with a grain of salt. Hoi4 is very situation-depended and there is no real best division. Still, I wanted something with foundation to talk about and not a guide based on gut feeling. Still the whole concept is ambiguous and there are a lot of things it can't take into account, but I thought some data pointing in the right direct...
bro ran actual algorithms it was so hilarious to watch im still gonna try it idc
Lol
i'll just slap anti air instead of the landcruiser and probably something else for the super heavy arty until i research it
time for a germany playthrough
crazy EaW border gore
heck
(even if it was true its all irrelevant after the doctrines changes)
i'll still test a similar template for the memes
“Mid expensive”
i'll get it ready to invade the soviets with it
Land Cruiser
That shit costs way too much to be mid expensive lmao
i'll swap out the super heavy arty with maybe rocket if i could research it in time, and the land cruiser idk i'll see what i can throw in there
2k factories 💀 goofy ahh mod
super heavy arty is way way way better than rocket arty
you get siege arty doctrine
pls don't research rocket arty
i watched ts
i mean if i can rush it in time i will, havent played the game in a while but i went germany for now
did you test it?
nah but ive been wanting too and i just finished a britain game so i gotta go study
if you test it let me know how it goes
I'll test it for you gang dont you worry i just loaded up a germany game, on recruit difficulty though
recruit 🥀
just for a test
you can't get rocket arty before shh if you go for shh first so
ok
why is your name different from the HHC server
:(
latvia is so broken
*lithuania
you can do it for fun but it's not the best template
ah yea
is there an updated similar video?
optimism
even in 1940
but it is good for d day mechwall
i'll replace them with AA and try invading the soviets with it
and insane AA on landcruisers
if you rush down super heavy as germany with the focuses maybe you can get it by 1939
but like good luck using that division to naval invade with your -100% amphibious attack
people would be doing it more if it was a 39 thing
oh theyre using it to naval invade?
its good for defense tho
yeah land cruisers are nice don't get me wrong, especially with mountaineer and ranger double doctrine recon rangers
i love collab gov
but you're definitely not using them in 90% of the gameplay
its overkill vs vanilla ai
even with sheep ai its very overkill
its a defensive tool
ig super heavy tanks are also decent defensively
it was 489
truly
what the hell
evil land cruiser
no radar
anti air cruiser
0% hardness lmao
damn lol
What's the mod
😢😭
what's the current doctrine meta for SP and MP? I really haven't been following news all that much since arms against tyranny came out I have no idea what's good anymore
for sp sfp and gbp + individual excellence for infantry and grand assault for operations
art and armor subdoctrines depend on what you make
whats the mod that adds the subideology
insane pulls
um i think its led subideology icons
lets say for Germany making tanks & line infantry with only support artillery what should I pick
for MP?
well the meta is spgs for sp and tds for mp
so the meta subdoctrines are focused on buffing them
How did i get kicked out of axes as germany
twr prequel run
what mod is this
it's when you get godly generals by collecting the important general traits, usually in spanish civil war
it seems like such a trek
so you can get like lvl 5 10 atk + inf expert + combined arms expert + cav&panzer expert + fort buster + improvision + adaptable
Peace for our time won't even have a free patch with new stuff like rebalancing etc? Just dlc and bug fixes?
no it's a big reason why germany/italy/ussr are so powerful
im testing out my mod tool, im working on my own mod with it haha
the difference in general quality with your chuikovs and pauluses after general grinding compared to the crap default montys and mcarthurs that you get is massive
i dont wanna do all that micro
ill micro to win a war
i wont micro to do some dumb meta stuff
kill
then you don't need to do it
its really annoying that Iran can't do the saadabad pact and still be playable
is there any way to block the monroe-doctrine for the us to activate
bro
excuse you
why am i not gaining dominance despite having 400 ships
read the tooltip ✌️
jk
u need them on strike force
and some on patrol
philippines are impossible on the hispanic path with the us monroe-doctrin
provs bugged
⁉️
u kill the us
with what army, weapons and res?
Wait is the new dlc for Czechslovakia
What map type is that
the Mexican, Argentinian, and chilean army
without mexico, how you reach the us?
you don't
Send others to do your dirty work is a common HOI4 strat
you need mexico
you save scum until you get mexico
improve relations and have a spy on diplomatic pressure
and do a non aggression pact
this whole thing doesnt even work with all the console cuz all the decisions are in the damn coding
Can’t forget taking them out to a nice dinner
if mexico joined an alliance or is already dead than you cant get to the us
and i really dont understand why most of central america isnt aggreeing on anything even with full relations and diplo pressure
how would mexico already be dead or in an alliance in 1938
It’s Central America it’s just the American Balkans
If you justify a war goal for a core territory, can they still get guaranteed?
fascist or communist way, fascist => join the axis, communist => declare war on us, france and britain and dies
yes
doesn't usually happen before you can get them if you rush Hispanic focuses immediately
or other shenanigans that happens in the run
well i rush it and i reach it in 1938
Navy map type?
What? I showed you i have 20 task forced on patrol/strike force
yeah i know, otherwise i wouldve used ❓
⁉️ , im just confused
Nah the don’t and stuff
?
I meant FONT
Lene’s map mod is the mod i used
Thx, Auto correct was being a nuisance
lol
carriers dont draw reinforcments ouf the the stockpiles if the planes on the carrier are on mission duty?
i think that i can end my run with lithuania
I hate fighting russia. Do you guys stop when winter hits ?
rip 21 armored car
those are those probably
Something something Bulgaria
What’s the most fun country to world conquest with
fun as in quickest or?
man teach me i just wanted to make a run with bulgaria
Yeah I guess you can say that, quickest and overall just coolest country to play
Other than Germany
I’ve done a Germany world conquest already with rt56
just pure inf build
like main goals?
I only got the 3rd army at the end lol
I played un historical so its even more scuffed, usually u can cap Greece if they dont go communist
then just one by one
as for what focus u want to get asap is probably to negotiate the rearmament
and then just non aligned left side part
bulgarian patriarchy is the most broken focus 😭
From hungary to austria hungary to non aligned european union is a nice choice
The dopamine you get from being so small to coring whole europe is great
I have a DLC that has something to do with Poland, Austria and Hungary too I think
True
I’ve tried a Luxembourg run but that got annoying quick because I don’t have all DLCs
And I’ve tried the Free City of Danzig on rt56 too
U can play lux as communist to deal with manpower issue
but thats about lux playthroughs
so heres an update we finally took back france, the soviets launched an offensive in the east but we're holding
But if I go communist at first, would I ever be able to turn fascist again?
I’m new enough not to know if you could party switch mid game or not cus I’ve never tried : - P
u can
lux has basic advisors so they dont get locked out
what is the deal with this here ? units cant enter because reasons?
ts can only solved by a nuke
HAHA
Attack with marines and airborn at the same time on the same tille is not possible right?
Oh please, oh please, oh please, have SOME sort of content for Slovakia
I WILL BUY EVERY DLC AT A HIGHER COST FOR SOME SLOVAKIA CONTENT
There will be new generals and leader portraits. They will also get a unit 3D model and the ability to tag switch during an event chain and the ability to release yourself as them during game-start during the first week of the game.
dont give them ideas bro
playing Czechoslovakia before the dlc comes out, yup as miserable as ever

bunker in Bohemia and western slovak mountains works for now
for now
big poland
Better not be 30 dollars for one country bro
😐
no
💔
No but darkest hour a hearts of iron game is good
But alot more complicating
It already is happening
What about a small Vichy France like tree??
Great War Redux, uhhh
Great war redux sucks 😔
You can just do policies and get like 100% factory efficiency and destroy like anyone 😭
fire
italy
Chefs kiss
bro theres no way were getting a czechoslovakia dlc over america
gonna be interesting to see how it goes when i push theese puppies out
seems like the fireworks gon be heavy in 41-42
90% sure they said price will be $5.99
yeah
thats relieving then
6 euros and usd and 5 uk pounds
only a fiver for me
spanish civil war happens so early for me when i play as ussr, itss 26th of feb 1936 and its already started
can someone tell me how one does this? like how you get them to go to one place then go to the next with just like this so they wont go to a direct path there?
hold down shift when you make an advancment
i just learned that too
ok thank you bro
np brudda
also how come the Götterdämmerung dlc makes the german cw a lot more difficult
you cant push the us as philippines even when they are in a civil war
what is this shit
like i mean before getting it i could do it easily but (which i just got it yesterday so no judging) so far its taken me 8 attemps and i still haven't won a single one
they're the usa puppet so ofc not
after you broke free smart guy
they said it in the recent post
Steam post?
whats the dlc gonna add
Unkown
Czechoslovakia focus tree
And an export arms future
czechoslovakia focus tree
Can't wait for bittersteel to make his 20th germany tutorial when the dlc is based on Czechoslovakia
where did they say this?
Oh...
On steam
on the moon
hoi4 is the best
thats what makes it so expensive
the game itself is cheap
Hmm
its just that you will be in debt from all the things you break after getting capticulated by the netherlands as germany or any other major country
what the hell happneed to thunder at our gates
what the actual bazinga is peace for our time
I swear to god there was another dlc
That's after this one
anything after 49 is unplayable
no it really is
1949 october
so? its still very fun
You genually cannot play it cause it's laggy af
i know about the lag but its not to bad, even though it runs at like 15 fps when at '65 its still fun
very fun
and i love the game
and i always will
so accurate bro
i dont know why but i have a very strong urge to justify on france right now
Are you from dallas?
no
im from...
wait
im nost supposed to say that
but i wish
either that or berlin or moscow
Is that Virginia?
yeah
Crazy
let me guess, romanian
Ye
What are you doing there
Damn
so, it says that the us make white peace with philippines after 1 year if the philippines can defend or earlier if they get dragged in a war elsewhere
Yeah
than how can it be that after almost 2 years again they are still at war with the philippines
its just dumb
Hoi4
Sometimes yeah
95%*
most of the shit i engage in this game cant happen to what i know cant happen
Czechoslovakia will officaly have the biggest focus tree in hoi4
Really?
this game is ragebaiting like hell
I don't think it's gonna be bigger than the russian one
How do i get the flame tank i cant find the weapon
Thats ahorrible example bro
Russian focus tree is small
and when you get into the meat of it
Germany
around half of the focuses are preparing for a civil war
yea there we go
germany focus tree is bad
you need the special project completed first
I can't wait for this Czechoslovakia rework
project
its only for fast wars and nothing else
Dude
Ohh i thoguth that was for advanced one for some reason
Make a land warfare facility assign a scientist then research flame tanks
choose a team bro
that one's a research in the tank tree
Also its 1942 and germany is still here
its so busted tbh
Defend on the dniper river
Historical world counquest, historical but slower, based anti communist kaiser, based prussia conquest, based EU, based HRE, communist puppet swarm, communist soviet conquest, and democratic path with the same stuff as monarchism
not only fast war
in every side tree you have almost instant war goals
Is that bad?
except democratic, idk
And that makes it good
You don't get bored
WHAT IS THIS MAP BRO
I mean yeah it's expansion
That's what makes it have content
Are there any femboys down to play hoi4 in like an hour or two 🥹
I know a Polish discord server about hoi4
But are there femboys
Inv me
where did you find this
true
ok, so the trick is to restart every game if the us declares war on you as the philippines, got it hoi shit
is this game going on sale tmr
Ottoman Empire Pushing the Germans
i should make argentina a naval superpower
The Ottomans Destroyed Almost all of there airforce they use to have 44K aircraft
@tawny lynx Sorry for the ping but I'm still under the effects of that chat's slowmode. Yes, it is still up
without the American Support The germans is cooked
czechoslovakia!!
yea pretty muchh
france dont do it
How come 99% of ai lend lease requests are just giving you 1 or 2 convoys and nothing else
“The empire”😭
how did 1 patch ruin submarines that mutch
The new DLC is either going to be a great DLC created by modders or a terrible and overpriced DLC with no in-between
For 1 country that could actually be overpriced if the content is bad
The new dlc is created by cute and hot modder, that is also here in the server.
I just hope they'll add something to Slovakia and maybe at least mention Carpatho Ukraine which declared independence for a few days and then was invaded by Hungary irl like Road to 56 does
Then it should be good
Because they gave other ships like a 40% buff and then also increased sub detection by like 100 times
It will be the best

I trust my mar mar
But is sub spam still viable?(Not like it was viable in mp but I mean singleplayer)
