hello
i forgor there are support techs š āļø
it's 1943 and 1939 tech are not researched
I wonder why mechanized towed artillery/anti air/ anti tank doesn't exist in game? Irl the german sd kfz. 11 was used to tow artillery. I know self propelled artillery exists in game but they take 2 width, not one and act more like tanks than artillery. Just my small rant on line artillery.
Guys ? How do I beat turkey as Greece? I trying the in circle navel trick I destroyed 18 unit's but the keep coming
rince and repeat the trick until turkey runs out of manpower
the ai is very stupid
It's 1939 1 Year and 6 months and the keep coming
The have 300k dead
Can the just idk fricking die
turkey has a huge population so no i don't think so
make quality mountaineers
Can't no guns
get lend lease from majors
1600 breakthrough
how many guns you got from the turks?
???
if you encircle and capture Turkish troops you might get their equipment
I did get 2.5k guns from Italy
that is enough for one big mountaineer division
convert some of your inf to mountaineers
Not if the turkey keeps pushing you're line's
listin you got this
Why
yeah those are bad try watching some youtubers
ho do you recomend

Watch Trust
ok
i watch this first
this supposed for sp?
yes
whats your div template?
From ?
I went with armored spearhead
4 meds 4 spg arty 5mot
will switch to mech soon
so it was required for tons of breakthrough
use the one i send but switch cav with mech
bro
you dont need hard attack tho
in sp
ai tanks are buns
im fighting tanks too the meds balance it out
until like 1945
and theyre good cuz its 1942
ai tanks are ass
or atleast semi
mostly for redundancy
if you need just add like support at
plus big breakthrough number funny
why cav? T_T
barley worse than motorized and a lot cheaper
cuz its cheaper
only femboys use spgs
wanna get mech fast tho
worse than infantry
only number allergic people ignor stats
Also jesus why the hell do my Marines have ridiculous amounts of defense
6.4kmh
why not 36w?
hmm hol up lemme change it then
depends who you play with
misses 80% of doctrine bonuses and a bunch of research ones too
plus more supply use
i forgot the reason you want to have cav tbh
do not play historical mp games the people there are basement dwellers
it is it has to be
i had such a good defence against Germany as Czechoslovakia and was a bunker, but because France fell i capitulated automatically because im a minor 
I waited for France to fall so German AI can do barbarossa because the allies ignore Germany if they fight the Czechoslovak French alliance
It isn't the marines, it's the mech
Just like regular mech
When will there be a new USA focus tree?
Literally never getting into a faction with France
most useless ally oat
more useless than Italy
Good question
iāve seen france ai occasionally almost something but any time i play germany italy ALWAYS ends up forcing itself into the war and immediately losing a ton of men and forcing me to redirect a bunch of troops
It is very boring and long would that not make more sense than checks?
but at least Italy wont get you auto caped 
aka it it invades switzerland when i have zero (0) divs on my border with switzerland and then switzerland joins allies
Hoi4 devs think a little differently than we do
France fell to Italy btw
Minimum 2-3 years for a USA dlc Dw
i havent played germany in a while but i would usually just invade italy before they could do something braindead
Hoi6
What do they think? @stray kettle š¤
i dont invite them at all
you are fino doing everything alone
and peace deals suck anyways
They despise being pinged in pretty sure š
i donāt invite them and they still force themselves into the war by invading switzerland or greece
so its more beneficial to solo ww2
Oh will there be hoi5 at some point?
Huh why
I have no clue honestly
Why would they be on a hoi4 discord, with the developer role, when they are not interested in dealing with the community?
thereās still dozens of minors that nobody plays that need slop focus trees and even more anti fun mechanics that paradox could implement before actually making the game better
They deal with that on the hoi4 paradox forum
Iām pretty sure they just have discord for communication?ā¦
Not with us typically
i got capd and game crashed at the same time
why would they even be in the server then if they donāt use it lmao
Why not do both? Idk a DLC with USA and then 2 minors?
because paradox likes minors for some reason
Like with Japan if I remember correctly
hey
Like sure its fun to play... Honduras but I would prefer having a focus tree for nations that dont start playing in 1956
nice
Ok sure
Iām trying my best to guess this
Iām not a dev so I got no idea
Fair enough I was just wondering as a paying paradox customer. I play more ck3 and they deliver very good DLCs so I was a bit suprised to see one focus tree which is nice but
Microing elastic defense is some real fun icl just trapped half the soviet army in warsaw
Stalin, it's time to pay for your bullying of the polish people
Certain games have certain dlc quality
Like vic3 looks very promising
SLAVIC UNION INCOMING
But itās also newer
True but wouldnt they learn DLCs in such a long time? Or make a new USA tree?
Btw I never played UK do they have a good tree?
Can you core a lot?
What is like the max cores you can do?
i aināt never played uk before but the focus tree doesnāt look terrible
What gives reliability in the template of manufactured tanks
i feel like beating the soviets even late game feels super easy like once you destroy about 3m men worth of divisions theyāre just kind of a coughing baby
whereas historically germany did that and still lost at the gates of moscow
base chassis, easy maintenance, diesel, torsion bar, wet ammo
i was doing usa a few days ago and i was pretty much able to push straight to moscow and get like 5m kills with about 200k casualties with 10 infantry armies and 3 medium tank armies in like 1944
i just started the war like less than a year ago, i had to give stalin eastern poland because i was too busy fighting the axis and the fascist balkan countries, then i prepared for about a year and struck him
i canāt remember the last time iāve seen the ussr go past extensive conscription
What
theyād rather have literally 0 manpower than mobilize
Im mena reliability in ranks
Paradox you company is ###############
Please try optimize your game after dlc realize
Release
i think a really easy way to āoptimizeā the game is to just make countries want to demobilize after major wars
did you change your template or nah?
e.g. it is absurd that the uk will keep like 350 divs after the war ends
especially cuz historically they were broke after the war
nope, im just waiting for some reinforcements, will take leningrad and moscow, then collectively march down to leningrad
so they, along with soviets and usa at the very least should delete like half if not more of their divs
you fought in no supply didnt you?
talking bout "expensive but i can do it"
kinda like what great war redux does
except i hate that it deletes like half your factories thatās kinda bs
no not really i advanced along the southern coast and the northern coast, battle planned it because icba honesly im just chilling out so i guess thats why
i microed the infantry at the start
battle planning on barb with heavy tanks
did like some sort of elastic defense
here we go
@ivory hull
cuz probably the biggest source of late game lag is the thousands of divs on the allies and comintern
1946 and the game still mint
no lags at all
it's a mod called restrain AI
really good
and delete south america too
they basically just limit all the african countries to certain divisions
and the minor nations
they dont touch the european relevant stuff
congo, saudi, yemen, etc i think it limits how much divisions they can field
so no lag
interesting
anotha one
i will be indulging in some tomfoolery when invading the brits and the americans
battleplanning tanks is only acceptable when your at 100% reliability
but please just use mediums
heavies are overkill
mhm
brotha
howitzer
heavy howitzer
your wasting a lot of ic
on allat armor
why so mych armor
also
when im done with the russians let me cook
is it on mp
no im just fooling around
a lot better than heavy
only use heavy turret when using heavy gun
even if u have like 20 armor the ai cant pierce
i know i know im just fooling around
get down on armor
just for the hell of it
and make armor meme bro
just go for 12km and outrun everuyhing
what's a good template for base game?
no dlcs?
yeah, no dlcs
get by blood alone if you can but probably some inf bricks
36w inf
any artillery or no?
only support
i recommend you do get some dlcs
mainly by blood alone and no step back
no if u want line just engine
depends on the country tho
What about Russia
sorry, what?
I'm playing bohemia in kx
spam 1000 divs and battle plan
bohemia has some nice paths
I've done it once before and got my head stomped in by the russians
so that's why I'm looking for a good template
russia is prolly the most op nation in kx
im not sure if you can do 36w inf bricks
on everything
oh in kx its a whole different level
I normally run something like this
and add some supports
oooooo
normally logistics, artillery, and recon
line arty is horrible
engineers, support arty/aa
plsss
so next time
full 36w inf
or mountaineers if you can
and then some 18w line holders
with support aa/arty
something like this?
if thats 36 width then yes
only if u plau russia thats possible
nah
on a lot of nations
you can do inf bricks
im really not sure bout bohemia tho
thats temple is suiper expensive
its also super good lol
what do you recommend?
oh hell no
what path would you recommend?
big divs dont take many losses
i think theres like a slavic union one, ive only done the monarchy paths so im not sure
useful allies lessgo
just have air and everything is possible
most random faction oat
these were my losses with inf bricks
ofc had support companies
but yk
a little bit of line arty is not bad (contrary to what many people say) but yea, 1/3 of your width in arty is way too much
u didnt battleplan
yes i did lol
Guys i passed!
never use line arty
its just worse than inf
try for yourself lol
and what support companies should I use?
i had these which you dont have, but just take engineers, support arty/aa
ive never had less than 300k loses with big tepletes'
its ok when your on gun 0/1
otherwise not
try the build for yourself bro
inf brick germany
on holding divisions, arty and/or r.arty, AA if you want some piercing or don't control air, eng if you have IC to spare, heli battalions if you have the tech (and IC to spare), hospitals if you have manpower issues
fun
if you want i could send you the save file in dms
I remember the times I used it when I had like 100~ hours

me too
Idk what the hell I was doing bro
as a noob its kinda valid tho
True
slavic union otw
Slavs together strong
it will actually be a world conquest atp
I remember the time I accidentally Clicked to not give Italy Dalmatia as Poland
I ended up fighting axis
& cominterm
Then the UK just decalred on me 
I won in mainland europe
i messed up with annexing italy and now i gotta turn it into a world conquest to get my bear on the throne
I couldn't naval invade
Because I genuinely had nothing
So I had to paratrooper them š
i gave up on eastern poland to stalin and just marched to berlin with 70 infantry divisions
took me a long tie
time
and a lot of microing
but i just held the line with the balkan axis countries
I usually fight Russia then gain that juicy industry
touched netherlands
And Kill Germany
no need it's all european colonies, i'll just get done with the allies
Last time I played Russia was when I needed the lats achievement
Last*
Iām yes re today get race for Germany
pocket cleaned up damn
I can feel the satisfaction
i microed at the very start some sort of elastic defense,
let them walk into warsaww
and killed like 2m inside
@grave sonnet
The polish almost let them walk in IRL in the Polish soviet war then they encircled them š
History repeats itself ig
Nasty
I remember seeing vids
About bating the AI into encirclements
Crazy stuff
make all nations facist
Easiest way is Germany WC
You guys think this is enough to leave the axis and fight them?
Germany, Italy, France, Spain, Peru, Venezuela
any1 wanna play road to 56?
Hi :)
brother
you did assert western claims
"Cannot have this and Assert Western Claims"
well the slavic unions requires all of the following
which is the focus under germany
no you need demand pomerania and claim russia
so how cant i have both but need both
yeah demanding pomerania needs western clais
you sure?
idec anymore im gonna manipulate the save file
to make it not iron man
and fix the mistake
lemme google how
there must be a way
there actually is
how
can you vc?
editing in notepad or something?
i can listen but i cant talk
imma just explain its fast here
okk
go to your hoi4 folder
go to settings.txt
there you will find smth called save_as_binary
turn it to off
start your game again
save the game
then exit again
edit save file
make a backup tho
just to be save
then change the txt again
and it shouldnt be ironman
brb starting again
i cant save since it's iron man
let it run for a couple weeks?
what do i edit here?
since georgia
no mustache
ever heard of Tsar Joseph I?
@wide summit youre soo coool bro
do i know you?
"erm dont join this game I dont know how to play ww1 mod so I call it crap"
š š«µ
you friggin chuddelite
erm don't join this game i know how to play ww1 and its boring asf
its the mod not the date
sounds like someone cant stay focused on one task
67
maybe take your ritalin and youll be able to play
special proejct
sounds like you can't play fast
you need 3 years to take poland as germany
i bet it
no
Trench warfare isn't the most fun thing to play
it isn't
so youre saying your too dumb to play an simpler version of hoi4?
or like gallipoli
gg alta
Yes, and I successfully did it
or any of the easternf ront
Won war in 1914
Game done
3 months of mid ash action and then stalemate
No trench warfare
I want to focus on other things and invade the soviet early LOL
for sure bro
have you ever heard of a personal prefference
But trench warfare is annoying
maybe im not
worst tier ragebait get this guy out of here bro
bluck is right
he is either ragebaiting or is under the age of 10
or probably both
most ragebaiters are extremely immature
i played the mod. it sucks
and take the internet too seriously due to them not having anything more interesting in their life
They ruined north africa
thus the conclusion is he is like 10
Why is it all strait crossings
they want attention
that they didn't get from thier parents
and thats sad
and he instantly shut off
bro doesnt like history
@misty fossil remember when we were talking about the fire rises the other day and i gave you that tech expansion mod
which one was it
you just can't do tanks do you?
bro what??
you can't do tanks or planes so you settle for infantry spam
do you know what larp means?
thats like going to a minecraft server and insulting pickaxes or something
bro only plays historical larp games
"I love history!" also bro only playing ww2
he is like 10
different historical eras exist you know
Ww1 is interesting to learn, but it is annoying as a game
At least on a strategic level
thats what im saying
300000000 bc is also considered historical
go play that
get out ofhere
theres no countries
it gets boring. the battles are cool i guess
bro likes gun larp
have you genuinely ran out of anything else to say so you resort to insulting a gaming username?
i see nothing wrong with it
do you?
haha
History "fans" when history class asks for what happened domestically during peace time
funny guy
bluck I dont judge you, theres a lot of chuds on this server
its just fun to see you guys in the wild yk
feels like a safari
tiktok level humor
get out of here bro
its a hoi4 server
the game is litteraly built around ww2
you dont like that then get out of here
you cant call the game "panzer larp" or god knows whatever else youre saying
live crashout
Itās totally fine to have an area of expertise. Specialization is common among all fields. Like if someone is a doctor, they generally arenāt a doctor of everything but of specific fields. For a historian to only know world wars is also valid imo. As long as they have general knowledge of what got nations there
I find the cold war more interesting than ww2 most of the time
But if I say anything about it, the mods will smite me
interwar is cool too
like right after ww1 to like 1932
Everyone is welcome here. There is a off topic for a reason
Cold War Paradox game would go hard
and french algerian war
If next paradox title that Arheo works on isnāt Cold War or Modern, Iāll be disappointed
Espiocracy coming soon(tm)
Will it be good, who knows
When would you all consider modern beginning? 2000? 1991?
Isnāt paradox though right?
Modern for me is post soviet collapse
Some other company i believe
So like 1991
Yeah
Next game: Paradox collab with creative assembly to make a war game in 201398102937167238516297398 bc
BCE 
thank you i will make sure to invite some femboys to larp in offtopic
i love hoi4
Imperator couldāve been such a good game. Prefer it over CK3 or Victoria 3 tbh
Sure ig aslong as they dont break any rules
It would be cool if there was a HOI4 styled game that takes place in WW1.
Honestly, I doubt it would be fun
Oh boy, the lines aren't moving
Darkest hour a hearts of iron game
Modern maybe not, Cold War has a lot more potential
1000s of casualties a day and the frontline doesn't move
someone wanna play?
you know whatd be good
A Cold War game would be interesting but I wonder how they would make it unique
Without making it look like a Vicky clone
does anyone know any good templates for tfr american civil war im playing as NSM
What is that one cold war board game with the cards
Twilight Struggle?
Yeah
Just do that but change it up a bit
Btw, what are even win conditions for winning the cold war
Well EU was based on a board game so wouldn't be too strang of PDX
I doubt the US would implode
ĀÆ_(ć)_/ĀÆ
if paradox would make it to where lend leasing does not require such an over exorbitantly high cost for lend leasing respectable amounts of equipment;
it is damn near impossible as the allies for instance, to lend lease the USSR if you want to try and say, use your industrial power as the US in a more indirect way to fight the Axis(kinda like... you know, irl)
like yeah you can lend lease the convoys to them but uh...
the amount of equipment per convoy is so asinine that impossible to get enough for both you and the ussr without sacrificing on general ship output and also military output(cus you need more dockyards to build convoys)
ummmmm
Like would a soviet victory just be they win all the proxies
tldr: lend leasing needs to be rebalanced with respect to the convoy costs
thats a very hard question
yeah i do like playing mods
how did you know
IT WAS THE MOMENT WHEN GERMANY CAPITULATED BRO
IT WAS 1944
AND MY SAVE IS 1942
š
rip
how
this is what happens when u dont play ironman!!!
rip
i hate italy and yugo thats why i killed them
before they can make my faction go to war
oh and beacuse i wanted the italien navy
would be neat if they added a little button here that let you pop out a scoreboard of the factions in the game
maybe with some
sexy graphs
showing their industry vs yours
(if you have the intel ofc)
well would be cool if there would be a event where every country is showing of thair strengh, ofcorse only at peace time
like a ranking system
i mean its kinda a thing but u gotta go to the home menu
does power projection really matter
or it's just
exists
in my option it would be great
does anyone know how tfr templates work
i am waiting for my big atack
yes
whats a good civil war template if im playing as NSM?
Generals
well never did that before but when u have many people just spam
I have purchased GƶtterdƤmmerung
just spam the base template?
i think my best chance at winning honestly is letting patriot front carry me and then annex them in the national conference
its worth a try
so ig ill pump out these divisions even if i only have 3 people willing to fight for me
ill post it if i win
thanks
which co-prosperity sphere is better
well is japan winning against the allais and how likly is it that the soviets atack japan?
and which country are you playing as?
Oh no...
Well those templates might explain why I roll over them so easily when I have played as the other factions
what makes the whole patriot front reliance strategy so bad is that patriot front still hasnt reunified new england yet
ive already made the national front and they still havent take the sons of liberty
and i cant even help them because not a single inch of land in michigan has a port
not even some shitty run down dock i can send people
because its not like michigan is a peninsula or anything
this stupid ass ai might actually throw me the game
anyone get the paradox launcher error after the new windows update?
nope
reinstall
i reinstalled already
no war with allies?
then idk
i trapped the biggest part of the alleid armywith out getiinf war with them and since i want to kill the usa fast i am also going to take portugal for that i have a door into south amarica after that i am going to allai with El salvador to invade mexico
that i can kill the usa in 1943
and after that i am
i love it when i can conquer with out the allais in my way
and the ussr and me are buddies right now
yeah i failed
aboute 2 mio soldiers fighting for thair lifes
i blame everything on the patriot front
oh men
I could take everyones armies individually by myself better than the patriot front could
actual bums
takes them 20 years to take out some 3 militia holdout with their 30 divisions
idk what update the tfr devs released that made the patriot front so inept but they should revert that immediately
well i am going to be a unstopbel force in my playthrough and there is nothing staying in its way
imagine churchill after the usa has capitulated
how the resistance had move
Can smb tell me why are my units not receiving supplies?
I literally have lvl 6 naval base that has 18 unused supply capacity while my units are not receiving any supply and starving on top of it
<@&846894118219022336> Can I be un servermuted
?
open a ticket if you want to contact the moderation
then, you do realize you just typed, right ?
your convoys got raided
convoys come in and out every month. If a convoy run is raided, you'll need to wait for next month's run
hey guys, i bought the base game like 2 months ago, and now i am looking ot buy some dlcs, any recommendations? i saw a few youtubers play them, and their dlc allow them to design their own planes, tanks and ships, i would like to know the name of the dlcs for those please
Wouldn't in that case my "supply connection from capital" number be reduced?
personal tierlist of DLC rated per quality (some are included in base game, such as man the guns, death or dishonor, man the guns and waking the tiger DLC)
yeah uuhm... sorry i need names, can't rlly reconize some of them by their image
"supply received 0.08" with no thing but local supplies and a big line marked with crosses don't leave any doubt
bout you're likely overstacking the tile anyway
um
Yeah a bit, I wouldn't care if I had yellow supply
It's for the invasion of mainland Japan
Arms Against Tyranny : solid top 1
Followed by No Step Back
next you can buy is La resistance, Gottamerung, No Compromise No Surrender, Trial of Allegiance, Peace for our time (both those are DLC packs, not proper DLCs with new mechanics),
By blood alone, Battle for the bosphorus (also a focus tree pack) and lastly Graveyard of Empires
Arms against tryanny s BBA c...
How does anyone like arms against tryanny
ok and i searched up for the dlcs that lets you design ships, it's called man of guns but i can't seem to find it on the steam store
AAT has MIOs, International market, Special forces doctrines and good + fun focuses for denmark, norway, finland, sweden and iceland
NSB has soviet ahist paths, tank designer, railway guns and armored trains, focuses for poland and baltic countries
La resistance has spies, french/spain/portugal focuses
GTR has ger, belgium, austria focuses and special projects
NCNS has more doctrines, focuses for china and some warlords and japan
Trial of allegiance: Focuses for Brazil, argentina, chile, urugay, paraguay
Peace for our time : Checz focus
By Blood alone : Italian, ethiopia, swiss and aussa focuses, air designer
Battle for bosphorus : focuses for bulgaria, turkey and greece
Graveyard of empires : focuses for irak, iran, afghanistan and RAJ
Arms against tryanny:
MIOs, the worst feature in the game
OK arms market
Focus trees:
Democratic: Become a gov in exile and do nothing (finland is good tho)
Communist: Unite the north and its not real communism for literally every one
Fascist: Become a german cu ck or be monarchist but with a name like skinooodak kooallmis
Monarchist: Crazy viking empire for literally every single one, not even that fun
hmm ok, i think i have a bit of an idea of what to buy now
Very disapointng air designer (promised to allow for non meta and out-of-the box designs but doesn't because if you do you get blasted off + biggest noobtrap of the game because of default or "historical" designs that suck)
Mediocre italy tree honestly I much prefered the ones done in some mods like operation overhaul back in 2019. It is bloated with useless buffs and half baked ahist paths
Swiss tree is fine even though kinda wacky
Ethiopia is boring after you push out italy, no matter the path
Aussa is niche but clearly a meme focus tree by its lenght
On the other hand, all 3 of AAT mechanics you use basically all playthroughs.
Special forces doctrines are a must if you don't want air or tanks, and it makes them actually useful and unique
MIOs bring a lack of balance, which is honestly the only reprimand I can make on that DLC, but it adds quite a lot of stuff and flavor
Market is useful in quite a lot of scenarios and easy to use
Focuses for denmark, finland and sweden are very good and actually fun to play. Nothing too wacky or convoluted. Norway is fine even though it's not the best (civgreed gaming) and iceland is a very good meme tree. Straightforward and still gives you stuff to do
And, one of the must, while BBA was meant to change significantly how to play the game (the air designer was supposed to unlock stuff based on what paradox said), AAT didn't promise any of it
AAT came out with few bugs, localization errors and didn't completely break the AI like BBA did
I can't put BBA any higher than that because of this
Is the Swiss tree "fine"?
yea lol
Its my least favorite tree in the game for AI doing that stupid Alps formable
it's not great, but it's straightforward enough
Its also still buggy to this day as far as I know
both dlcs are a b essentialy
idk about s aat and c bba...
Salutations
but bba is mid
Id easily put BftB above BBA if BBA didnt have peace actions
Plane designer tho
but I personally blame BBA for my lack of interest in ahist content which directly appeared after ethiopia adnd italy playthroughs
And I can't forgive how botched the air designer was and still is
plane designer is genuine trash
I completely agree with what Francissaucison said about it
theres 0 reason to use non light planes
Theres one meta
and the strat is
If you dont play the meta
there isnt even a meta
Hoi4 sucks
hello
lmao
Hello
Something they could have done would have been to half the killrate, and it would have been much better already
at least you could build cheap contest planes to get yellow air
honestly, they are both good
the issue with tank designer is the lack of balance through doctrines (recently, with the new doctrines that basically only buff variants), lack of variety in late game light and medium armaments and the ridiculous stat buffs TDs and SPGs get through regular arty techs
but except for the lack of guns, it's not really designer-related
Inter war chassis are basically the same stats as modern tank chassis
Naval designer is fine too and can be excused by the fact it was their first new significant mechanic introduced
And the tech is like 25 years apart
Not really
It is
Unless you care abt reliability but if you care about reliabilty then lowkey just never talk to me again
that's an issue but now with the recent reli rebalance it's more impactfull
I dont really use any tanks tbh. I like mobile art spam
What did they change
so uh guys, rn im playing a mod and it requires man of guns dlc, and i searched it up and realized that it was integrated into the base game from update 1.17 but the mod im play is in 1.16.10, is there anyway i could get the dlc?
get the dlc
like you see people in MP chose 1940 heavies over 1934 heavies or even 1938 mediums and 1940 mediums for soviets because of it
Yes but what did they actually change stat wise
basically winter attrition now actually kills stuff
temperature and weather give more attrition
and units retreating take way more attrition
i can't buy it, it' snot on steam
How much we talkin
Is there a patch note i can read
That doesnt just say that smth is more impactful
but I thought reliability didn't mean anything in hoi4 what happened. As my recent hoi4 sp game I disregarded reliability as a stat.
what does reliability do anyways
In SP you can disregard basically everything and probably accidentally do a world conquest
that means that in MP, where you click or get clicked a lot, you retreat and go through weather more, meaning it makes the choice way more taactical : Do you still go for more early tanks and risk losing to attrition or need to mind the weather or do you take 5 months more to get a later chassis with 35% more reli to worry less
it's mainly a MP thing, but still, it's one thing they did well
especially germany imo it's too spoiled in buffs. Honestly i think big infantry in general is too op.
higher reli means you lose less equipment when taking attrition
which, since NCNS came out, happens way more
Meh
A lot of things in hoi4 are busted
they involuntarily buffed it by adding skoda, it's the same convert MIO than soviets
ger also now gets a spitfire MIO equivalent
I always play germany expecting to play tanks but always build infantry as tanks always feel unnecessary to use. Division designer should just be rewroked all together
very balanced (not)
Ive stopped playing vanilla multiplayer for like 2 months now
in one recent devdiary they talked about the way they wanted to work on support companies
that was before they delayed the aussie DLC
I just hope the delay they took was to balance stuff out
hopefully this makes artillery actually good. As recently big infantry (with support companies) is overpowered, unhistorical, and silly imo.
it was something about regimental support companies and divisionnal support. It looked interesting in terms of possibilities
gimme a minute, will find the devlog
yeah that one I saw that one
One concern is that it might encourage big infantry again
depends on how they buff stuff with the modifiers
but yeah, I just hope they actually balance it
well, anyway gotta go now
good night/day
good night Francis
cool
servermuted in vc not timed out
I also had opened a ticket the day prior
its resolved now.
damn
dont cheat to win!
buddy
cheating to lose is fine :)
okayy
lol
im playing with max buffed ai i think
i would also use expert ai but it doesnt have vnr support
hello casey
yo does team usa achievement have to be done with a strategic bomber or missile works too
š±
havent played in a while, did they buff sp AI?
amazing
Do both and see what sticks
has anyone played the older HOI games
If you hate yourself you can play HoiIII
I tried it once
how bad is it
Ancient UI + insane complexity
You can automate tons of stuff but only helps a little
i think the ideologies need more detailing
exactly
I started playing HOI with HOI3, back in 2011
Anarchism and monarchism same idioligy
trotsky deserves his own ideology
macarthur and hitler same ideliogy
Very different game. I remember having to use Hamachii to play MP games on the metaserver
hitlers ideology needs to be renamed to nazism as it was irl
its called fascism ingame, a different thing
there are subideloigies u can see
if u scroll on the idelogiy screen
eu4 is just as ugly as hoi3 is to me thats for sure
they have national socalism, anarchism etc
i mean full on ideologies
NSDAP (The name of the Fascist German Party in-game) Stands for "Nazionalsozialistiche Deutscher Arbeitspartei (National Socialist German Worker's Party)
The first 4 letters of that word spell "Nazi" hence the name
and yet it was a different ideology from fascism
??
thats like saying stalinism and trotskyism are a different ideliogy
like yeah they are different
theyre still communism
how is nazism not fascism
i dont think it just needs to be the same thing
yo what dlc allows you to annex other nation's navy at the peace conference?
fascism: extreme nationalism, nazism: racism
I'll excuse myself from this conversation now, given the subject matter. You all have a good one
nazism is literally both
and worse
alright but its still fascism
nazism is just fasicsm boosted
hell i hate using this tiny ass phone
fascism with more extreme racists
fascist = water and nazism = hail
hail hitler
not accurate
nazism is facism but not all facism is nazism
nazism is obscene extremism
somehow sigrun from wolfenstein is more right about it being a subhuman ideology
fascism and nazism are different
he probably means that it was so much more amplified in germany that it ended up being seen as something totally different than italy's version of fascists too
Which stems from fascism but is more extreme, Hitler tried to follow Mussolini at first and the have done things in common although are different
it was different
oh
does this satisfy u?
are you trying to argue fascism is good and nazism is bad
or what
what r u getting at
both are bad
i want this gam to have more ideologies and not just sub ideologies
nazism is still different
the only difference was that nazism centered on racist ideology tho
explain ur litteraly definition of nazism
and like eugenics
subhuman ideology
thats called racism gng
nazism is a kind of racism
but it also is a kind of facism
barely similar though
it just is fascism with like 3 differences at its core
NSDAP is facist party, period.
what is the difference between fascism and nazism other than its anti-semitism, eugenic policies, and racial hierarchy that they had
fascism is extreme nationalism, nazism is just a an extremity nobody liked
"square and rectangle are barely similar"
people def liked nazism in germany
the political functions and i dont mean their laws
no, nazism is also extreme nationalism
except a million times worse than fascism
and racism is apart of extreme nationalism
yes, because it is fascism premium
in a negative way
it doesnt really have to be
altough it doesnt its pretty hard to be a "extreme nationalist" without not being racist
a better āformā of nationalism patriotism
nah fr
aight are y'all gonna answer my previous question or not: what dlc lets you annex other nation's navy at peace conference???
i think mtg
by blood alone
unless thats what mtg is
then im late
bba
maybe
yee
thats actually weird we need to pay more money to annex a navy
kk, alr
so what does arms against tyrrany do again?
check the steam page
supposed to be historical bruh not modern
nordic nations i think
& international market
i could pull this off lategame
beating the allies before america joins the alliance is way too easy
the 9, 3, and 1 template
there should be no way all you need is like 800 navy cas/fighter to have uk repair most of their fleet
exactly why would they surrender
and if the uk fell usa would def join in on historical
ok, rn i am buying no step back and bba, is agt really nessisary?
once france falls, and uk falls, peace conference happens immediately and usa never gets to join the war
ive never had usa join war while i naval invaded uk yet anyway though so it could just be something that i havent went through myself yet
I haven't played HOI4 since last December and my save is corrupted 
How do I play this again? š©
Just seeing the 1936 borders drains my energies
ik you can copy and paste your save into another folder, but i dont think that uncorrupts it
maybe you can copy and paste your save file into another folder, and use a save editor
not sure if that would uncorrupt it either tho
am i able to use bulgaria to become the worlds most uninvadable nation
Actually, let me try this
It may help
i know that battle for the bosporus is needed which i have
Ferdinand I and his busted complaince growth
Should I open this? It raises a few eyebrows but I wanna be nice to this dude
DO NOT OPEN the file
Really?
use virustotal to scan the contents
Thank you I will check right now, I have malwarebytes

It has 92 trojans
yeah red flag
Thank you for warning me polandball
ping the offending user so the mod can ban
Heās not in server
N screenshot says no server sin common
that is the red flag here
Bombing the hell out of the UK
I mean, it isn't horible
avg italian navy
Losing a BB over some dinky sub hunters is very italian
Default Italian bb designs are worse than CAs
btw they lost to basic candian template
didnt even have MIO š
is this a good encirclement?
In pins are complete beginners and then once you watch them try to follow bittersteel's Germany guide
Alr thank you
Should i keep Bombing the F out of the Uk until They dont have anything or should i just invade them
Invade them, now you have to repair everything too
according to my cacluations nah cause im not even gonna puppet them or im not gonna take their land
just invade them??? waste of planes to just keep spam bombing
its js for fun lmao
not even an encirclement since the Romanian capital hub is probably there
but that's a lot of dead troops for sure
if you can invade them then do so
nuke them.
discord talkin about sum āget an email!!!ā phone verification
