i use it every game
Line arty provides no stats besides soft attack
tanks suck
And you lose org
And they get lost to easily
the most important stat?
also 3 combat width
Food provides nothing but energy
Inf provide it
Spgs provide it
Tanks provide it
Support artillery provides soft attack and doesn't nuke your org or combat width
Tanks literally just provide soft attack and breakthrough and lower org. They suck
like
what do you mean
I normally just use motorized recon
Also something funny but all my divisions got their own unique icons
Artillery doesn't even provide breakthrough
Hardness
Space Marines were meta for a reason
36 width tanks will vaporize any inf division
Is it possible to take out the Soviet Union before attacking allies playing as Germany
Of course
Though Poland is in the way
Thank you, Captain Obvoius!
BTW, Guns damage infantry
I’m able to take out Poland and the baltics without the allies getting involved
Which is why 3 inf is better than 2 arty
Congrats, you found out why line arty isnt great
This is either gonna be really good or really stupid
Yes but the later u go the more insanely powerful allies get
If u let france sit there u wont be blitzing them
them bunnies tho
u need backup troops
and make more indivisual orders
they are just militias, ram through them
Until you invade them
rangers gonna come once they take up the port
I'm making sure they can't escape first
mountineers would be better for italy
I invaded the Soviets in 1946 as armored car UK and absolutely rolled them
They remain weak if they aren't invaded to get lessons of war
Yeah
it commences
hi
This giant ass encirclement bro
+how did u guys learn this game are you super geniuses?
Trial and error
Trial and error
i tried for 30 hours i got frustrated
what is the best division type for Operation Barbarossa and the invasion of france through belguim & netherlands?
Well yeah, it's only 30 hours
I have like 500 and I still get frustrated sometimes
brother
This game usually has people finally understand the basics at 300
i have 900 hours
i get very frustrated
do the devs even understand this game if its so complicated?
Yes, somewhat
the care about dlcs
i hope i dont get kicked for saying that
do you guys like civilization 6
I suck at that game
i have no idea what that is
I hope you don't try to apply knowledge from that game here
“If I want to move thirty tank divisions with 9 width through the Amazon, by God, I will!” -Erwin Rommel (Probably)
It's confusing I just play 5
JUST DIE ALR
This is why you need collab gov
oh flip
first time playing czech 😨
I have killed the Soviets without taking leningrad without a collab government
over 600 hours
Yeah that happens when you push with inf
They were just at 0% war support lol
when switzerland joins the war for some odd reason and you have no troops there so you lowk slime yourselfm
WTH
I tried it, it wasn’t my cup of tea
Why'd you release ukraine
not me
Oh
wyd in this position
I took a closer look you're cooked
nahhhh wym
i'm not even close to being cooked ngl
Show your troop intel
No like in diplomacy tab
?
Wait am I rembering how to do this wrong
do you guys never get bored of all the political decision and stuf you have to make so eventually your brain just gets tired and bored and you click random things
nah
Yk how you can right click yourself and click the second tab
how
yh that's what i sent
I might be schizophrenic
nah but it's not looking super good icl
well if u read all political decisions and make othere focus trees it dosnt get boring at leats for me
Wait you got dlcs?
Your army
ye
@deep reef
oh forgot that ur population isnt realy great for making big armys and big wars
my infantry only push is working bro!
oh thought that u are playing japan
but i remember
that you played germany
japan?
This is why youre cooked
beacuse of that
Having more casualties than both the allies and Soviets is diabolical
you are the winner on
onn uuuh beating a child competition!
so much line arty
you shouldnt beacuse ur logistics wont be good enough and u will lose much more troops and equipment
Not another line arty user
They ain't for pushing
tank recon is better than car recon. Actually never seen anyone use car recon before
they're mostly there to hold the line
gotta do the LARP
the red ones mean i'm winning, right?
what nation are you playing?
USA
oh that makes sense
USA does have an obsession on cars tbh
The real best recon vehicle
holy air holy air
HOWW i didnt even take moscow that never happend before
dang nice
They probably had low war support or sm
yeah maybe because of the 12 hydrogen nukes and 15 nukes
That would do it
How do you take out France in 1936
i think i can count that playthrough as won.
there is no way anyone could defeat me now
The Yamatos are undergoing a refit to improve fire control, add radar, increase AA, firepower, and improve torpedo protection:
thats my type of super battle ship
i have 4 of them
and i am gonna end that play through now
I have 4 yamatos as well actually - I completed the Shinano as the 3rd Yamato, and completed warship # 114 as the 4th (Named Tosa)
Very well. I control Hawaii
good
and have capitulated Australia, New Zealand, and India
Well, I have to divert to Europe for a minute to help my German ally, since its 1952 and they still haven't managed a sealion
Its AI
after i took africa
i could have done it sooner
but i missed my chance
and then i nuked england
But yeah, first stopover will be Madagascar, to give me a jumping off point to cap South Africa. Then I'll get access from Germany, and invade England. After that, I'll invade California
ok
well my playthrough is done
i have africa, soviet union, all of europe, the biggest navy, army and airforce
ur advencing is looking bad
the soviets are getting crushed
they haven't been able to push me back a single time yert
how many troops did u lose
2M in garrisons, it's time to get off mil governor
1.1m to the ussr so far the ussr has lost 3m
their lines have collapsed
do u think u can hold soviet union? beacuse usa and england had all the time of the world to rebuild thair airforce, army and everything else
good
and africa will be important and also try to take turkey
yh i need to reclaim africa
u have to do that fast
beacuse if u dont
make it in time to the suez channel
it will be realy hard to take africa
also beacuse of logistics
and that they will send all thair troops to africa
and try to push trough a line of 3 mil. english and us troops
in africa with no logistics
not possible with out using nukes or fall back lines
that'd be very cancerous
ye
i'll grtab moscow soon and then i'll focus on the other fronts
i forgot i didn't garrison northern france
💀
moin
ye
🌹
ich hoffe du schaffst es mit deinen truppen schnell genug bevor die alles voller truppen packen
i hope you make it with your troops something something fast
its time
yo was i right
ye
i am ending it now
"if you think u can stop us, dont forget i am inviceble" is a banger sentance
/10?
what can i improve?
what is cost?
preaty high but its op
thats why
i had 164 of them
Too small and not enough mech
hard to mass produce
u need mech
uh oh
not if i have 164 of them and many othere mech div.
when did u have 164?
the year?
1949
did ww2 finish?
nah
i waited to atack soviet union
i over ran them with 8 mio soldiers
i already had all of europe and africa
i used 12 hydrogen nukes and 15 normal nukes at the start of the invasion
that broke thair neck and it was all free to get
no one can tell me my templates are bad when i won the war like that
How do I complete the I don’t hear no bells achievement for czechs? Sounds insane, fighting reich solo with no sudetlands and a puppet slovakia
exactly
what if you didnt?
Was trying this new hoi4 mod
i didnt use them in africa
😭
where i made the most kills
even so with no logistics my tanks made big break thoughs and gained controll of important logitic knots
who?
the guy who said "bro" and posted the scams
oh
2/10
how can i improve?
you have no step back right?
yes
for inf you just want 18w with support arty/aa if needed and maybe engineers
Luxembourg: kills Ireland kills England helps with france
Germany: walks on France nothing else
what is the division that is to the left of motorized infantry?
medium spg
this game sucks
I want at least all of France and Luxembourg raj
you just design a normal tank and then switch the marked thing
ok ty 👍
is this good template?
I don't know if I should regret getting NCNS or not
you decide 
This is R56 expanded Submod
No its a mod with a different map than earth’s one
oh K
this Photo Rembember R56
i wanna play but i don't wanna play 😭
HELP
Bro
everyone who rated my templates bad were wrong
i reached paris in 1 of february 1940
if you are playing sp you can beat ai even with 2w infantry
if you are playing mp
who knows 
Maybe
stop underrating the AI
anyone played the new dlc and have a good strat for holding germany off if they declare on you early? I got austria and hungary and then germany immediately declared with ~3x the number of divisions
I went down the fortifications path but it wasn't enough to hold their advance
today i'm gonna
uuh um aaaaah
maybe even...
a few hours later i'm gonna cry about ai being so powerful and quit the game
oh
Damm
aahh sweet freedom
figthing the germans with crippling debt
funny bug when I got a license production without having researched tanks
i have no dlc's
10m deaths
china always getting a bunch of dead people 😭
GUYS
mass assault
hello im new to hoi4 (coming from ck3) and the recomended start italy was too overwhelming lol having to manage 2 continents was too much, so i tired ireland (biggest mistake) became commi and died by england os there any minor nations that are good for beginner players?
Historical Canada
canadians scare me
italy sucks IMO
it does, and i like playing 'smaller' or like less important nations in grand rts
same
i think italy has too many mechanics to deal with as a starting player
& the focus tree is garbage
is turkey ok for new players, i am a fan of anatolia
yeah it’s not bad
i don’t like the turkish focus tree either lmao
but it’s a good starting nation
ive heard that from videos but making turkey communist for some reason is something i want to do
france just had a "civil war" while occupied by germany
i have some dlc for it too which will be nice
grand battle plan - fleet in being - strategic destruction
is the best combo of doctrines
first guy to own austria hungary without having a single core in hungary
what should i do with my troops when im not at war?
js give up
steinter's counterattack is gonna happen just in seconds...
any second now...
thers no more counter attack im taking all of germany down with every last drop from my country.
THAT WAS AN ORDER
OK THIS IS MY 4TH CIVIL WAR
they're coming back
anyone give me challenge in hoi4

Hello My Fellow Hoi Players im new
i saw scam and i reported wrong one
hello, you will not touch grass now
NOICE
whats a good template for the Soviets?
that guy can die random time
when the allies in the peace deal to carve up germany but its lowk the plc and united kingdoms of romania-hungary instead of the comintern
I know
or is it just mass mob
anyway, give me a challenge for hoi4
Twice on the 3rd of January 1936
czud
Beat Turkey as Greece before 1938
armoured car only
soooo
gun gun gun single engine 3 anti air
Heavy machine guns
4x heavyu
uh ok silly me
Yes
finally did it
with 100k guns in debt
defeated the germans
No Ironman 🥀
folk.
Idk.... could be fake
hmmmm like this?
u need engine 2 or 3
cuz too much weight
so it wont let u save the model
that will be hard
Come on
is this enough for a world conquest?
yo what is that nazi flag in the background.
o that just a mod
name
ok, regular difficulty non historical focus
im a historical guy
Btw
Before you start
Just a tip
Move your navy, and set its main base, to Kalamata
i remember i puppeted Italy as Switzerlands
the united kingdoms of romania-hungary was truly an experience.
If you don't do that before starting to exercise your navy it might get stuck in the Dardanelles and you will not be able to get it out untill after beating Turkey
takes too much brainpower
why not let em take a port and then grind kills
Because the Turkish AI no longer launches naval invasions of their own.
do i can choose any greek path
Petition to change #hoi4-general to #hoi4-field-marshal:
Yes
they do tho
They do not.
they did last time i played
Trust me. I've had a lot of Greece games in the last week or two
win ww2 as UK without France capitulating
They only navally invaded me once
pretty possible
they did twice to me
i never played greece
I've played Greece quite a bit in recent days
And have gotten quite good
But I am always looking for better strats
Does the Czech Republic even have a monarchal line?
They do not have a king... I know that.
But do they have a royal house?
czech focus tree is huge
i have a question should i do a world conquest as the austrians?
now imagine usa rework tree
well theres a mod but doesnt feel right
wilhem boutta be slimed
time to go in
what the hell happend?
ok but lets see if you win
im confident that i will
tell me witch one i havent lost land and i dont play the soviets much
Both are fine
At that point unless you sabotage yourself you should be able to win
this is the situation
is he okay?
rate my encirclement
czechs in berlin 🤑
hollyyyy
bro is entering super gamer mode 😭
w
doesn’t groß mean tall?
great
great
grand
so checber
<@&846894118219022336>
i faled your challenge @lost dawn
What was it
Beat Turkey as Greece before 1938
Ic
czechia most influence in fourth intenational..
no nazi flags/imagery please.
This is a world war two game
You have to be shitting me
Anyone can give me some good templates for UK? Infantry, tanks and mech
hoi4 people when no nazis allowed:
NO (im not nazi) im a historical guy
technically not nazi imagery, it's just a nordic rune
nazis didn't copyright it
hindi or smt
Anyone watching the Tfr game?
i know
not owned by hitler
Bros so desperate to post nazi imagery
who me?
not you
ok
just makes no sense for a historical game
that has nazis in it
to not allow pictures of the game
with nazi imagery 😭
mod?
Last warning
👅
collapsing world rise of radicalism
kiitos
it's a super uncensored mod
what do you guys think of hoi4 adding PoWs?
It doesn’t really serve the purpose of the game imo, it’d be cool if you can get manpower back or smth by rescusing PoWs but I don’t feel like it would add much other than flavor, and a kind of flavor that the developers are intentionally staying away from
What is the mod even raging about
czech landing in britain 🤑
👍
wwi ends in the complete collapse of europe
guys is it normal to like playing eaw more than more normal hoi4...
is it just me or does the new dlc make czhechslovakia op
Same here
a little bit of this a little bit of that ahh dlc
Most people like mods more than vanilla for sure
Hold up I'ma test something
i think it would add more realism since in an encirclement oyu dont just kill them all
not even czechoslovakian dlc more like czech 😭
regular earth is just so stressful imo
it feels like there's a never ending wave of countries im gonna have to prepare for
Why is it even a nessecity to send it in the first place
yeah idk i got my message deleted for piracy for telling people to buy the game on steam
tryna show a picture
It would, but thats not really the point of the game
I feel like the nuclear Ghandi stuff wiping things off the face of the earth is pdx toeing the line with their philosophy
whats the point of adding that anyways
it just seems like adding stuff for the sake of adding stuff
Especially bc hoi4 doesn’t really have options where the three major powers don’t fight each other
Its a sid meyers civilization reference, thats it i think
To u
playing the changleings in eaw and it's actually pretty fun having to worry about only a few nations
i was talking about pows
Ah, okay
yeah they gonna ban you
No more no evidence

i started an eaw run as a joke but man it's relly fun being able to get away with larping my army with wildly expensive and costly gear while not going to war every 5 minutes
We have mod logs
Real people play Siam
😱
Hii flowi
no nazi flags/imagery please.
son
do you have the mod logs from when one of you things deleted my message for telling people to buy the game on steam for "piracy"
son
Ok so it's Nordic Rune what I showed and sorry if I offended someone
deleted a picture of the game 😭
you are moderating a community for a ww2 game, why can't nazi flags/imagery be sent if they are not supporting the ideology?
MOGGGLE SİTE
If u want to post those flags that are in game just mark it out
You said that in the official discord and piracy is illegal lmao ofc you’ll get im trouble for that
i told them to buy it on STEAM and they deleted it for PIRACY
how is telling people to BUY the game on STEAM piracy!?
hi
Yeah like it's dumb if come to think of it
HI
@uncut pollen you gonna answer the question or do I need to send nazi imagery again to get your attention
Its in Rule 5
idfk you made it seem like you were supporting piracy at first
Don't post symbols that are inappropriate
where's the rules?
you want friend?
Server guide
It escapes me how people don’t read server rules ever
Just read them
pretty sure that image was from ingame vanilla right
Rule 34 missing
Doesnt matter.
swastika ain't 18+
Its a politically charged symbol
so in an officla server from a game you cant post a picture from the game?
so then why is it in the VANILLA game
miss mini mod
U can just mark it out for discord
and this is a community for a history game where you can play as ADOLF HITLER
This is discord not a game
i think "s*xually explicit" covers it😭
sexually explicit
don't gotta censor it my guy
Im not trying to mini mod i was simply explaining the reason
They don’t have swatstikas in vanilla I don’t think, that’s definitely a mod. They always censor that in images
your reason makes no sense
Or Mr H they say here
i guess bro
uhm no you play as the country
And tbh im grateful for that
oh look who woke up
if you are leading germany in 1936... who are you?
you are playing as everyone
not js uncle h
if you are leading germany in 1936 who are you?
I dont think he gets that u cant post symbols that are politically charged in discord. He can post it if the symbol is marked out
But like jeez
Why can'
depends what you are leading. an army directly? the economy charts? the airforce? the navy?
Why are historical images and symbols not allowed
in a community
for a history game
explain
They are allowed in game but not on a discord
True
Why?
paradox doesn't condone nazi imagery, they don't have swastikas in basegame, and this is the official discord
follow the rules lil bro
Cuz they dont condone that symbol here
This 10000%
Who is we?
bro😭
Who is they?
even if its an imagine from the VANILLA GAME?
Plus u should respect mods when they tell u not to do sum
Oui oui 🗣️ 🇨🇵
Who is me
son clearly the mods
rather not
And posting that is honestly just unnessecary, bros just tryin to be edgy by posting it
I'm just tryna show a picture of a mod
Even if the imagery is from the vanilla game
Im not mini modding pls stop
YES YOU ARE
We dont want it here
i think ure the definition of a mini mod
You are the textbook definition of a mini mod
No im not
Just have a 1v1 in the game
we don
Good lord it's like talking to literal immature people
we don't condone minimods here
Who's we
the people making fun of lilian
Idek who that is 🙏 I'm so lost in this
Block or press the ignore button. Its the only Solution
i consider minimod to be a compliment i am complimenting her
lilian you are such a minimod i am complimenting you in my own way
Tell this to people who off themselves for cyberbullying
can we go back to actually talking about hoi4 i still wanna talk about my larp army😭
I made Singapore an island
Have a 1v1 in hoi4
^
Make Bosnia core entire world
omg i need
No we shall not make bosnia great again
yes
Shall*
Did that 1v1 happened between Gunther vs Grisha already?
who is we?
wait shall or Shall
Reclamation of territory that God gave to Bosnian Seljak
oh my god vroooo
Or is it s.h.a.l.l
When are they renaming the palestine tile to israel
whats yalls favorite country to play?
Japan
that update was promised to us 3000 years ago
cuz it was promised
israel secret focus tree
hidden in the bugfixes
Bosnia
nah core just usa
steal civillian factories and infiltrate foreign politics
Mossad takes 2 days to destroy entire armies logoistics
puppet countries by infiltrating them!
😭
I wanna post the Tel Aviv impressed gif but it has the Big [REDACTED] in it 🙏
Israel is doing great things for the world right now
If you are fr asking it's Probably between China and Bulgaria
Spain is also good
this game is ridicilously boring and horrible tutorial
the big ben
bro
I agree
what spain route?
duh, thats why we play it
You left out bugged 
Game pretty easy
bro why is there no good tutorials
there was a tutorial?😭
non existent it shows nothing
just look up a youtube video ingame tutorial is ass
F
thats what im saying the yt tutorials are even worse somehow someway
Bro always the game Oppose me
nah some are pretty solid
they just go on about " this is here this is there " like bro ik how to click i need to know how to move
just play hungary best country
"Guys it's for the historical accuracy"
Do yall cancel mefos?
i have deep hatred for this game
mefo is W
If I’m playing historical then no, otherwise yeah
same but mainly because of the UK
ive never been pissed off at a game but bro the dev of this game better close all doors AND windows
Wubout vents
bro i wish i had ur issue
how do i get my new production of ships to evenly distribute among my task force without having to micro
I never play historical. I had a ai Paraguay invade US and win
imagine learning navy
anyone want to vc and maybe teach me how to play hoi4?
anyone want to vc and maybe teach me how to play hoi4?
Maybe make more production lines with less factories assigned and assign ports to them
There’s task force designers, where you can allocate a number of ships of a certain type to a task force. Its in each fleet, its a button with a couple blue ships on it
You can also save the compositiom of the task force
thanks
They are
Main thing u need to learn in hoi4 is basically how divisions work, supply mechanics, and how to properly place ur divisions in areas where u dont get bad attrition or run out of supplies
Also building factories
I didn't even learn supply till like 150 hours lmao
can i get it to where it deploys to the group ? then goes into each task force
I somehow got the engineering behemoth award (you get it for having 1000 tank equipment on the field with a certain level of armor) when I hadn't made or deployed a single tank
Other icons dont matter except Military/Civ/Dockyard/supply hub stuff
Also oil can be learned later on in ur game
He won agains Fehlinger?
Captured eq?
The composition pulls ships out of reserve, so as you build more they'll go into reserve and then reinforce your fleets. Make sure you turn on "automatic reinforcement" though
anyone want to vc and maybe teach me how to play hoi4?
Ye its all fine tho. I just won't interact with them if they gonna be (lack for a better word) kinda dumb
Probably, but none of my divisions use tanks so idk how it got on the field
Stop gandalfing tanks into ur temp
where’s automatic reinforcement at
Ngl I turn my brain off for naval cuz I only use submarines
It's in the bar towards the top of the fleet, underneath the admiral. It's a small green circle surrounding a white + sign in the middle
Cuz u can just abuse
Is anyone able to do Battle Royale consistently with NCNS?
(The achievement for Communist China)
ahh okay thanks
I dont think I have ever done communist china
What's the achievement about
Like the description
146 the number of ships u have i think I dont remember im trying to do a Mongolian Horse Run
Be at war with China and Japan within 90 days of each other, and cap them both by 1940
Oof. That one seems rough
Especially with just 4 years
YES
Good for him 👍
It does indeed, I can barely just hold the Japanese 😭
Oh wait I just need to dec on China & Japan within 90 days of each other and before 1940
I can cap them whenever
Oh wait I might just set AI to ahist
And wait until Japan goes Dem/Com
Then at least I'll have a few years to prep
@noble bough
I'm gonna try Communist China -> Democracy at the end if I can asw
how is Dankus so ass
czechs in britain 🤫
how do i assign naval bombers & fighters to carriers ? i have them all in stockpile but idk how to assign them
I believe you click on the task force with the carrier and there should be a button with an aircraft on it? Idk it's been a while since I've done much with carriers.
I'm pretty sure there's also ways for it to automatically assign CV aircraft to a carrier in the production menu?
Not my biggest Eastern Roman Empire by 1940 but still a solid Empire
gang does anyone know EAW
gulp
Desperate defence (5% recruitable population)
Um Wana see my current position
Yea sure
bigger gulp
Barely survived 6 hrs against dennmark 😭😭😭. U forgot the french border didn’t u?
Yup
90% of german players forget the french border
It happened once to me
And holy
Same here
That dragged on
Although I once did it in singleplayer on purpose
Only defending a little in the north
And it resulted in encircling 90% of the French forces
Or u could mass paradrop into france and instant capitulate…
Never used a single paratroop
Too cheesy for me
idk how to use any special forces ngl
Split ur army into 2 army groups and get 1 to fight the french while the other mops up the polish. Once poland capitulates get all your divs fighting france
I mainly just use infantry and still win -w-
Well now i kidnapped someone to do tht multiplayer he deals with france while i do poland
Literally what i do lmao
i only kinda use spies to get insight on how strong the enemy is
Bro snatched a child from the basement to save the run 😭😂😂
YUPPA
Its mainly useful for lowering resistance and breaking cyphers
btw for infantry do you need the numerical advantage to hold the line or can the tech they have provide enough crutch
Collaboration government too
Like my first game ever I managed to cap France and the benelux without even making new divisions cuz I didnt know how equipment works
I didnt watch any tutorials either
Try to do both
It was pain
2nd time italy game i insta capitulated france and then capitulated britain by 1937
Nice
Wait
Can the allies bomb poland from france?
Is the range big enough?
Well
or u could just get good at the game...
Or i could, use game mechanics to win if you know you know
Should have puppeted the free state of danzig 😭
I can do that?
Gets rid of danzig or war
We'll im fascist
He asked IF he can do it
And at war with the allies
Yes, u can
Family friendly
What is this 😭
I used 1 speed
The second I declare on lithuania
I saw the UK guarantee
But it was too late
And now im at war
British guarantees 😭
I am so damn scared
any1 balkan dm me
Sheeps mod ai is just on crack
any1 wanna play road to 56
Funny thing is my pc broke a year ago and I just got a new one
So
WHAT ARE THESE NEW DOCTRINES
nice
any1 wanna play road to 56?
4 main doctrines
4 subdoctrines
well uh, I just picked whichever I though is best
probably horrible
subdoctrines is for infantry and artillery and armor and operations
any1 wanna play road to 56?
hmmmm ok
