hoi4-general

[misty fossil]

except they dont have naval superiority

typical

[dusky burrow]

i mean the best base spitfire (fighter 2) design in vanilla is one with engine 4 (for some reason no one knows)

[dusky burrow]

are you at war with them?

[misty fossil]

yeah

[dusky burrow]

ah i see

well, the strategy is still the same, you just need to remove the royal navy though

[misty fossil]

oh i am the uki

uk

[dusky burrow]

how did you let germany get this large

[minor flint]

chat am I dumb for not touching air tech and just slapping my division with AA divisions and building anti air in my coutry

[misty fossil]

i used a mod that lets germany annex and core everyone

[dusky burrow]

either way, to prepare for your war with Germany I have some templates

[misty fossil]

so i can fight them

[dusky burrow]

What does your research look like btw

[cursive oxide]

how do i kill romenia as greec ?

aslo pls fix that why do i fight them

[dusky burrow]

Either naval invade with force attack or attack through Bulgaria

[cursive oxide]

cant the moment i got the war goal the joined the axis

[dusky burrow]

Bulgaria?

Or Romania?

and when did Romania join Axis?

[cursive oxide]

bul

[dusky burrow]

Huh

You could try destroying Bulgaria before you go to war with Turkey

[cursive oxide]

cant the just make a peace event or remove the garuent ?

cus you dont get time to build up

fighting the axis with 26 units max is pain

[misty fossil]

absolutely cooked their navy haha

[misty fossil]

sure

[dusky burrow]

I don't know, if the game is throwing Romania into the Axis before like September 1939 I don't really have words for you

[misty fossil]

um i gave myself 15 research slots to balance it out

doing good on the research front though

[cursive oxide]

just make so romain wil not join ar wil make oeache after tukrey died

[dusky burrow]

Oh right you have that mod

IDK then

[cursive oxide]

can you vc ?

[dusky burrow]

I can hear you, I'm just doing some things

also you should probably strengthen your mountaineer corps since Romania and Turkey are filled with mountains

[dusky burrow]

I can tell you to naval invade with something like this

and without knowing your mod i can't give any more info i'm afraid

[misty fossil]

interesting

this is what im using

[lilac ginkgo]

guys no

[misty fossil]

dont have amtrac yet

[lilac ginkgo]

why dont you paradrop into the uk instead

or I mean

Anywhere

Paradropping is the meta

naval invading is for uncs

[misty fossil]

im playing as the uk

[hard depot]

Are horses Kringe?

Should I rejekt kringe truck and go with based Horse?

[dusky burrow]

horses are now kringe because truck get hp from individual excellence buffs

[lapis snow]

What if I am old enough to be an unc anyway?

[patent thistle]

you cant tell me this isnt ragebait by apple to windows laptop/PC Users. command + Q force closes the Mac. but thats the combination for windows for @.

when i am at work school i have to rely on a dam Mac

[misty fossil]

what?

[dusky burrow]

have you taken a look at the doctrine screen?

[misty fossil]

you mean this

[terse skiff]

Yes ie really buffs large units and assault infantry buffs smaller units because support art becomes less important as unit size increases

[fair horizon]

what the heck is this war lmao

[misty fossil]

the war to end all wars

this is their production

[acoustic wasp]

is this the usual improved frame + armour plates / self sealing fuel tanks and heavy mgs?

[misty fossil]

no

im using modded air designer

[acoustic wasp]

W? name drop and show design im always strugglign with air

[misty fossil]

um

https://steamcommunity.com/workshop/filedetails/?id=3408185451

instead of mtg navy im using vanilla navy rework

[acoustic wasp]

lemme try it then vanilla got too boring

thanks bud

[fair horizon]

200 air attack 💀

[dusky burrow]

interesting

[heavy vigil]

what is

[dusky burrow]

air bases apparently contribute to naval dominance

[fair horizon]

yes

ai dominance affects naval dominance too

[stark elm]

not great not terrible, everyone always complains but its going better

still thank god i left

[misty fossil]

honestly

uk needs a rework

[fair horizon]

ive been saying that but eh

[misty fossil]

thats what she said

[feral grail]

Is it true that sweden might attack ussr if it bombs northern Finland during the winter war?

[hollow bridge]

I have so many questions... what even is carlist spain and HOW regional defense is winning with nationalist spain, did they buff the ai

[heavy vigil]

i thought you said australia does

[near mortar]

light tanks only is fun

[fair horizon]

it does way more than britian

[dusky burrow]

so many light tanks

[near mortar]

i OVERRUN THEM WAY TOO FAST

whoops caps

[hazy cobalt]

Whats the use of forts anyone know?

[near mortar]

They increase your defence and decrease enemy attack

But you don't need to make level 10 forts, the AI won't touch it

[hazy cobalt]

So it’s necessary to have on the border?

[near mortar]

5-6 at max

[near mortar]

I mean it depends

Border with who, and who's border?

[hazy cobalt]

Cause if you play german thats make no sense you need fort

[hazy cobalt]

Like on costal area cause uk always trying to attack on the beach side

[near mortar]

You can do forts as Germany for sheep ai ussr, or coastal forts for d day

[near mortar]

Coastal forts then

And you build them on key tiles like naval bases and cities

Because if they land on non supplied tiles, that's free kill for you

[hazy cobalt]

Ohh now thats make sense

[near mortar]

And honestly against vanilla ai you don't really need them, just make ok ish port guards

If its mp or sheep ai than yes

*then

[hazy cobalt]

Did you know any of the server where people play together but with non dlc cause i dont have much dlcs

[near mortar]

Uhh no idea
If like, no dlcs at all?

The game is garbage with dlcs, and far more garbage without

[hazy cobalt]

Yup

[hazy cobalt]

I have some of the dlcs but not full

Si its hard to play together

[obsidian sigil]

If the host has all dlc everybody playing will get access

[near mortar]

Ah I didnt know that

Cool

[hazy cobalt]

So if i dont have dlcs i will join?

[obsidian sigil]

Yeah u can

[hazy cobalt]

Ohh thats fantastic

Both of you guys, thanks for help❤️

[near mortar]

Yea sure good day

[lofty adder]

What mean for realtors

[acoustic wasp]

Why cant i do collabs as democratic UK? do i have to be at war with germany?

already have a 100% agent in munchen on quiet network waiting

[azure walrus]

democratic countries cannot do collab governments

[acoustic wasp]

L, what do i use my agents for tho just counter intel?

[sudden thistle]

What about realtors 😭

[sudden thistle]

Ciphers

They are fun

[azure walrus]

maybe just benefit off of the bonuses you get from intel networks

[acoustic wasp]

alright then

[azure walrus]

or strengthen resistance

[acoustic wasp]

already decoding germany

im going to try and defend france

got 2 armies one on italian border and one in belgium

[azure walrus]

and have czechoslovakia revolt against germany

in two states

[azure walrus]

oh yeah the warsaw uprising too

[acoustic wasp]

so send an agent to poland and one to the czechoslovakia?

or wait until they are annexed

and my agent in germany will do

[cedar lance]

hello yalls

i hope hoi5 is good game

[vapid sparrow]

yes

[azure walrus]

wait for poland to die, do resistance contacts in one of their occupied states, then get back up to 50% network strength and you should be able to do "the warsaw uprising" operation

i could be wrong bc im reading off the wiki

but it would be funny if it worked

[acoustic wasp]

ok i'll try thanksss

[acoustic wasp]

will update you

[lofty adder]

WhatsApp for real

What about for real

[lofty adder]

What about agenct

Agency

BTW agency ticing bonuses

Giving

[lofty adder]

What about Updatev5ou

[acoustic wasp]

Wdym

[azure walrus]

great, now wait for 40% intel network to do Make Resistance Contacts

[lofty adder]

You want kill him ?

You want <update him>

[lofty adder]

This is threat

[lofty adder]

What do you mean «update him»

Are you real 3ant kill him

[azure walrus]

my div runs out of org in like 2 days

[azure walrus]

build supply *hubs and railways ig

[acoustic wasp]

aight, btw is the sherman firefly model in the game?

i cant see it

only cromwell and crusader and stuff like that

[near mortar]

You can try retreating a bit until they overextend

[random sinew]

ion think theyll overextend with 30 ish divs bro

[lofty adder]

What about German Reocg

Or Russian r2idyv

Reich

[near mortar]

It will be relatively easy to break through

[lofty adder]

What about supply hubino

[azure walrus]

i do not know

[acoustic wasp]

i guess not because there's a firefly mod on steam workshop

PARADOX YOU ARE LAME

[lofty adder]

What about paradox

[random sinew]

ok true

[lofty adder]

What about cities skylines 2

Food tam3

[near mortar]

Also if you dont use air, cas kills all

[lofty adder]

Good game

[lofty adder]

What about hoi 4

[random sinew]

i kinda only built heavy fighters

[lofty adder]

What about air

What about anti air

What about Africa north

[lofty adder]

What about heavy xas

Cas

[random sinew]

i feel like building cas, heavy fighters and tanks for uk is a lil too much

[lofty adder]

What about UK and tanks

Ww1

[near mortar]

Good, you still need heavy cas (hravy tacticals)

[lofty adder]

Yes what about geacy xas

[lofty adder]

Yes ega4 about @near mortar

👍

🦘

[near mortar]

Also random but can I post in #pets random cat images that aren't my cats? Like they aren't memes, just kittys

[ivory hull]

have tanks with equipment lol

[near mortar]

Zamn I didn't see it

It would explain a lot

[ivory hull]

also the template matters

[random sinew]

oh wait i just saw my tank stockpile

jeez no wonder

im missing 2000 tanks

[near mortar]

Also maybe not so important in sp but mediums are just inferior version of heavies

[ivory hull]

do you have nsb and what is your template?

[ivory hull]

not in sp

[random sinew]

whats nsb?

[ivory hull]

in sp mediums perform better

[ivory hull]

no step back dlc

[random sinew]

oh

yea

[lofty adder]

Btw

[random sinew]

0 hard attack

[ivory hull]

ok could you send your tank design and the division template

[near mortar]

I mean yeah you don't need 900 armor and 2000 breakthrough for sp

[lofty adder]

What about allies on 1939🌟

[near mortar]

And its cheaper

[lofty adder]

BTW what about tank design

[ivory hull]

use this, your 40w is too big

[near mortar]

40 is way too fat

[lofty adder]

Yes

What about flame tnaks

Please

Anyone

Five me template of flame tank

[lofty adder]

Im want add them in infantey

[random sinew]

was gon research flame tanks lowk forgot about itearly game

[near mortar]

Medium flames are the best

[near mortar]

Wtf😭

[random sinew]

is calvary for org?

[ivory hull]

get a facility as early as you can

[near mortar]

Flame tanks get huuuge debufs on stats. They should be as cheap as possible

[random sinew]

lowk what type of tank is that

[ivory hull]

yes and only 60 less breakthrough than motorized

[ivory hull]

you want to max your breakthrough on them

but

even without any flame tanks

in the div

you still get buffs lol

[near mortar]

They are only for land modifiers

[random sinew]

that tank you put there, whats that icon again

ive seen it b4 but never used it

[ivory hull]

spg

[near mortar]

For flame tank, you do medium tank with (obviosly) flamethrower, then if it's for inf, slap everying into fuel drums

[feral ocean]

guys is it just me but after conquering britain as germany, it kinda gets boring

[random sinew]

spg issss

[near mortar]

You comquered UK after barb?

[feral ocean]

before because after 1940 is a PAIN

[near mortar]

Ik
Then why boring, you gotta prepare for barb

It is certainly easier though when allies don't grab your ass anynore

[feral ocean]

becuase i have all the resources i will ever need after the peace conference and then i can outproduce and steamroll the soviets

[lofty adder]

Hi

What is better for MP 6 players

Make infantry or tanks

[near mortar]

That's a different problem
You just need competent enemies
Like ai mods or mp

[lofty adder]

Im onow only make infantry

[near mortar]

Or just buff them in game ruels

[feral ocean]

thanks

[near mortar]

Heavy tds

Or inf build

In mp it depends what are you olaying against

[lofty adder]

As Russian empire defending against democracy Germany and defending against millitarist Japan

[near mortar]

As Russia there are two types of mp gameplay

[cursive oxide]

why did i not go to war with trukey as ussr ? i did the you back down or war thing

[haughty gorge]

Is arm against tyranny good ?

[lofty adder]

Yes

[near mortar]

500 16width inf or a normal one

[untold cove]

you dont need to back down

[haughty gorge]

Does that include plane designs

[untold cove]

soviets will not go to war with turkey

[sly venture]

What do amphibious tanks do

[cursive oxide]

im ussr

[lofty adder]

What about swedinish finlandish and norwish

Denmark

This is only add focuses for Scandinavian

[near mortar]

By far not the best dlc, but a lot better than 3 last ones

[untold cove]

then i dont know, are the straits demilitarized?

[haughty gorge]

I want to play As norway but I heard the focus tree ain’t the best

[near mortar]

They are better for naval invasions than common tanks

Pretty mid, just do marines

Or armtracks

[untold cove]

they also do better at river and marsh tiles iirc

[near mortar]

Yes, but it is useless for sp

In mp maybe

[untold cove]

yes i never use amphibious tanks in single player

in fact, you dont need anything other than well equipped infantry in single player

[near mortar]

In mp they lowk good for sweaty matches, mostly you struggle with river lines when mp game

[lofty adder]

What about lowk tooe ro4 sweaty matches mostly you struggle with river lines when mp fame

[lofty adder]

Hi

What is better for infantry

[near mortar]

Hi

[lofty adder]

Light tanks or flames tankino

[near mortar]

That's two completely different purposes

By light tanks, you mean recon?

[sly venture]

only that?

[lofty adder]

Im mean support

Recon

Yes

[sly venture]

I thought they had like a massive buff when attacking over rivers

and other terrain

[lofty adder]

Flames tank for terain

Light tanks for organization

[near mortar]

Ah ok
Well for armor meme and raw stats recon is better, but flame tanks are for terrain buffs. You can put both, because flame tanks are cheap

[sly venture]

who even uses light tanks

[lofty adder]

Im mean support in infantry division

[sly venture]

ohh ok

[misty fossil]

i won

[near mortar]

My kd is 1:7 and not 1:5, and I chocked germans in less than 1 year

But I got lucky with allies not fumbling

And I used Smarer ai mod, Not Better Ai

Better ai is a lot BETTER

[near mortar]

1942 is crazy

[stark elbow]

IM WINNING W USSR FOR THE FIRST TIME!!!

[acoustic wasp]

it's easy to win, what's not easy is to actualy win before the germans run out of men

you just sit behind the river near kiev

let the germans run and die

then you walk into berlin when they are out of men

[grave sonnet]

Ah yes the brave and heroic Turkish naval invasion of Romania I remember it like it was yesterday

[stark elbow]

we are reaching 46 and japan is kinda scary since it reunificated china

historical ofc

[daring geyser]

if you know how to micro you can kill germany by or even before 1938 by doing poland rush then germany rush

it's not hard at all

[grave sonnet]

Damn

[stark elbow]

well, im now at war with japan due to danish independence war

[hard sky]

Hello

[grave sonnet]

My favourite colour for china

[grave sonnet]

Helo

[stark elbow]

unlucky me tho, they are invading me

[grave sonnet]

1 naval invasion and they are doomed

[stark elbow]

may truman be fast

[woeful urchin]

so

kinda wondering if anyone wants to work on a mod with me

[whole matrix]

gotta play kaiserredux

[meager valley]

It’s annoying how independence wars will pull you into huge wars and it’s unavoidable

[stark elbow]

anyways, japan is attacking from siberia, they can get in its their loss after all

[meager valley]

TF do you mean anyways 😂

[stark elbow]

historical comment

[meager valley]

Careful though, they yolo really hard once they pass Tanna Tuva. Like they can get from there to the urals really fast

And new Japanese tree puppets Mongolia on a whim even if they’re in your faction

[stark elbow]

in that case, i'll defend myself with the rivers i used to defend myself from germany

[meager valley]

Which?

[misty fossil]

loss?

[stark elbow]

i was ironically talking about the dnepr

[misty fossil]

I II

[stark elbow]

LMAO

what a deal! (you can see japan coming from the east)

[meager valley]

Bruh

[untold prawn]

😐

[mental mantle]

Why did you take a screenshot?

[sudden thistle]

Might wanna fix those numbers

[wide osprey]

AA is not a thing in your game

[sudden thistle]

0% and 1% ain’t very good

[untold prawn]

I was invading germany

So yes, AA isnt a thing in those moments

[wide osprey]

you know every single AA building reduces enemy air superiority by 5
you can build up to 5 AA buildings in 1 state and every strategic region has at least 5 states
depending on strategic region you can reduce enemy superiority by 25-100 points

🤓

math!

[sly venture]

is this good garrison for the stratigic locations

[limpid field]

really bad

[untold prawn]

is that actually a thing that I can do when I am invading?

[wide osprey]

uh oh

um

well

🙂

[untold prawn]

Thats what I was saying xd

I was invading in germany

I wasnt defending

[willow gull]

add shovels

[wide osprey]

anyway occupy a state and build aa in it 🙂

[untold prawn]

Yeah might as well, I'll have to recheck a lot of stuff

thanks anyways

[proper ridge]

hmmm

[wide osprey]

hello fren

[sly venture]

the defense of the medditerenian is done

i feel like an ai

[hard depot]

Looks like your supply is uh, questionable.

[misty fossil]

"i wont build air this game"
"why is [enemy] bombing me??"
"this is why concentrated industry sucks"
"this game sucks"

[misty fossil]

thats not even vanilla

[misty fossil]

do you realise you have the option of like, not calling egypt in?

[sly venture]

yes but

its more fun if i do it

[misty fossil]

ok

[sly venture]

also i want them to run into my divisions so they lose manpower

[misty fossil]

shrug

[untold prawn]

?

[misty fossil]

was thinking about people who favour dispersed over concentrated industry because they said their factories keep being bombed

idk maybe go down concentrated so you get a bit more factory output to make fighters?

[misty fossil]

are you doing concentrated or dispersed

[untold prawn]

dispersed obviously but thats not the point. I said that image was taken while I was invading germany. I did have 5k fighters yes but I was hard locked to 1.00m manpower with scraping barrel before we even started

[misty fossil]

oh that sucks

how did you lose so much manpwer as the uk

[untold prawn]

no idea

[stark elbow]

y'all the allies started operation unthinkable on me

i wonder what will my next move be

[coarse junco]

poland went sanationist on historical and got themselves and the baltics annexed

[floral osprey]

this amount of political power

is ilegal

delete thsi pic

[floral osprey]

operation thinkable??

[stark elbow]

funny enough

[snow rain]

sanationist is the historical way, it's just that they get killed before they can do their focuses for baltic though

this is a huge ger buff tbf

[wide osprey]

what on earth

rynRi-o

[misty fossil]

sanitise your hands next time

[vale prairie]

this game is so genuinely impossible i started like 2 days ago and im so confused 😭

[strange mesa]

I bought the one with 2 dlc's for i think 17 euro's

Ts genuinely confused me

[woven bridge]

Well, maybe, but all the DLC costs 9,000 rubles, that is 120 dollars🥀

[misty fossil]

[woven bridge]

what

[proper ridge]

i bought hoi4 in a bundle and then i had a problem similar to this

or well

[strange mesa]

Howly expensive🥀🥀🥀

[proper ridge]

i only had it today

so i reinstalled hoi4

now the dlcs are gone as a whole

im looking through #tech-support so i dont waste anyones time

[proper ridge]

"Hearts of Iron IV (OLD - DO NOT USE)"

fym bro 😭

[meager valley]

Just just play as some rando little country in Central America to learn the game and make it your goal to form Centroamerica

1. Make gun
2. Spawn division
3. Put division on border of country you want to attack.
4. Justify War goal on that country
5. Declare war
6. Annex

[vale prairie]

i see

[rough oracle]

is maxim Gorky in the game

[proper ridge]

what could this POSSIBLY mean

i guess i'll just be a peasant and stay with vanilla

[meager valley]

It’s an older version of the game

[proper ridge]

it seems like just hoi4 completely moved places

lmao

[hazy ermine]

@ripe slate hi che #alt-history-multiplayer

[trail hill]

<@&846894118219022336> we need your assistance!!!

[mental mantle]

Why would you do this?

[trail hill]

because I don't know where to file a ticket😞

[mental mantle]

It’s okay, me and the mods decided to forgive you

[trail hill]

wow thanks!

so tell me

where CAN I file a ticket

[ripe slate]

DM @grizzled delta

[trail hill]

thanks

[patent thistle]

uh, lost hills, i am glad you are here, but maybe DONT. attack the legion already?

i swear these 6 are absolute madlads

[stark elbow]

the only thing i can describe in this image is a possible river

[lofty adder]

What about flames tanks

[patent thistle]

-_-

[patent thistle]

its OWB my man

[stark elbow]

[lofty adder]

What about nevermind do you mean

Im not understand your language what do you saying

Can you talking on russian

in russian

[sudden thistle]

How many tricycles long is Saturn if u eat ice cream on a truck?

[unique stump]

Northeastern army is so fun

[modest path]

Baltic state is the most powerful state

[pine shale]

i wanna learn hoi4 but its super frustrating and i rage quit cause i dont understand anything. just looking at the ui makes my brain melt, can anyone help me ?

[lethal ether]

take ur time to figure out the ui

mess around with it

[woven dragon]

Correction: 876,557,717

[pine shale]

its not intuitive i cant figure out anything 😭

[patent thistle]

absolutely crapping on the legion lol

[pine shale]

how do you guys not get overwhelmed when playing this game

[lethal ether]

guys does sheeps work on the latest version?

[patent thistle]

you dont even need half the mechanics the game gives you lol

[pine shale]

why

[floral gorge]

omg bro

[ivory hull]

think it does but the new czech stuff (op german mio) arent integrated

[lethal ether]

ah alr

[patent thistle]

because you dont need them against the AI

[pine shale]

How did you guys learn this game and not rage quit

[sudden thistle]

We are patient mostly

[patent thistle]

thats the neat part, you dont

[sudden thistle]

Tutorials exist for a reason

[lethal ether]

i think everybody has ragequitted at some point

[patent thistle]

you rage quit a lot of times

[lethal ether]

im sure*

[patent thistle]

because of stupid ai things

[pine shale]

I rage quit every 15 mins Cause i get overwhelmed and dont understand anything

[ivory hull]

just try again once you want to play again

[sudden thistle]

The last time I ragequit was when I had to save a multiplayer game disaster save

[pine shale]

The ingame tutorial is not very good

[patent thistle]

you get used to it

[sudden thistle]

The Soviet player had -200k guns by barb start

[lethal ether]

the last time i ragequit was playing collapsing world rise of radicalism

[ivory hull]

baltic freikorps...

[lethal ether]

yea that

[ivory hull]

i ragequitted today after a focus tree just didnt make sense at all lol

[lethal ether]

i tried it again and it went exactly the same as always

[sudden thistle]

And that co-op I got was S.H.I.T.

[lethal ether]

ragequitting is a normal part of this game

[ivory hull]

exactly

[lethal ether]

i think thats what makes a win so rewarding

[ivory hull]

especially when you try like 3 times and nothing works

[lethal ether]

and then your ego steps in and you gotta do it a 4th time

[sudden thistle]

Then ur save corrupts

So a 5th time

And then u gotta walk the fish and forget to pause

So a 6th time

[prisma steppe]

is there a way to clear the entire international market? commands included

stuff is causing so much lag rn

its only 41 btw

[sudden thistle]

Ok this is not normal

Do u have like mods

[ivory hull]

what kind of mods are you using?

[lethal ether]

the shit

[patent thistle]

endsieg. japan.

[prisma steppe]

not too many that affect production ... maybe a little too much

[sudden thistle]

It’s too much

[lethal ether]

omg battle of seelow heights when u get the scripted surrender even if ure doing good

as japan

[patent thistle]

i lost the yamato because of a pure deathstack of 30 american carriers.

[prisma steppe]

smoll germany got this many factores

nvm found the culprit

guess the nation

[lethal ether]

usa

uk

[ivory hull]

soviets

[prisma steppe]

the whole of the americas

they somehow deleted their debuffs

[ivory hull]

so you annexed all of the americas to save performance but they just made it worse?

[prisma steppe]

yes

thank god for the toolpack, gonna yeet their eco into the stone age

but still is there a way to clear/delete everything in the international market?

[sly venture]

the uk might be the hardest major

[prisma steppe]

what, noo

its either chinabros or france

[lethal ether]

i actually have no idea what the hardest major is but its defo not the uk

[lethal ether]

yeah i was about to say china

[prisma steppe]

chinabros is a proto major like poland

afaik at game start they aint a major

[sudden thistle]

Guh

[prisma steppe]

huh how did iran's eco explode so much

[ivory hull]

to play?

uk is lwk easy

you have all the resources

and are on an island

with the biggest navy

[sly venture]

yes

[sudden thistle]

At what point does something become a continent

Instead of an island

[prisma steppe]

my game rn is so cursed

[solid prairie]

ist hier irgendein deutuscher der mit mir österreich ungarn und das deutsche kaiserreich wieder herstellen will?

[sly venture]

when it has like 7+ countries in it

[sudden thistle]

Antarctica?

[sly venture]

I mean technically a lot of countries own chunks of it it’s kind of devided

[prisma steppe]

ist zu einfach

[solid prairie]

warum?

[sudden thistle]

Australia?

[prisma steppe]

mit witzigen mods ist es schweer, de als spieler zu haben ist zu einfach

[solid prairie]

ich kann ungarn machen

[sudden thistle]

I very much agree with you 2

[steel zephyr]

[grizzled yarrow]

I either have skill issue or finno russian communist path is js mid

[ivory hull]

[grizzled yarrow]

Ik but

I cant get a big enough industry

To fight the ussr and such

[vapid tendon]

is carpatho ukraine supposed to form on historical?

interesting, I've yet to play germany since peace for our time so I didn't know

[ripe slate]

Yes its historical

[vapid tendon]

oh I didn't know that happened irl either, then again I never really researched the breakup of czechoslovakia lol

[whole matrix]

When will mods update to latest version

[winged field]

fun fact, basically subcarpath ukraine declared independence after the disolution of czechoslovakia but then hungary yeeted them pretty much insantly xD

[tulip thorn]

When the mod dev updates it

[vapid tendon]

yeah lol I just looked it up, kinda interesting

[winged field]

it also has so many names depending from which country you are

[mental mantle]

The mod will update when it updates

[calm steppe]

greetings!

[tulip thorn]

Hello

[proud tapir]

man idk if i should try using space marines, i dont want to develop a bad habit and use them as a crutch

[tulip thorn]

Space marines are kinda mid

actually very mid

[proud tapir]

i want to test spaag space marines with minors

maybe Lithuania

or Czechoslovakia because they already have the necessary stuff

oh well dosent hurt to try

[calm steppe]

so i literally just installed hoi4, any tips? strategies etc?

[proud tapir]

against AI?

[calm steppe]

to not ruin my empire

[proud tapir]

bittersteel is your best friend for guides, the ingame tutorial sucks

[tulip thorn]

Like they work sure

Anything can beat ai

[calm steppe]

is that a ytuber?

[proud tapir]

mhm

[tulip thorn]

yes

[proud tapir]

one of the best hoi4 content creators in my opinion

[tulip thorn]

The guy who didnt like old mass mob

RIP to the og mass mob

You will be missed

[proud tapir]

anyways, sweden or Czechoslovakia for my next run?

[tulip thorn]

Czechoslovakia

[proud tapir]

i just want to test space marines

i never used them

my infantry are always the classic 9 block

you cant go wrong with 18 width

[tulip thorn]

You cant go wrong with a 32/35.2 width special forces unit

[ripe slate]

https://tenor.com/view/here-money-owe-pay-pay-up-gif-16899251

[proud tapir]

paratroopers are my favorite special forces ngl

[meager valley]

Sweden is cheeks, defintely czech

[tulip thorn]

I never use them

I hate them

[proud tapir]

its an alternative to a navy as Germany for me

i like to sealion via air

[tulip thorn]

I prefer forest rangers, marines and mountaineers

[meager valley]

They look cool, that’s about it

[tulip thorn]

Paratroopers are so cheesy

[meager valley]

Mfer doing Operation SeaGull

[tulip thorn]

Why paradrop when I can naval larp

[winged field]

works with czechoslovakia

tested

2 full armies of 20w with armor spaa yeeted germans back

[proud tapir]

i like naval larp when i dont have to wait 10 years for a functional navy

[meager valley]

I naval larp by rushing best destroyer techs and spamming them 😂

[proud tapir]

I could try Japan for navy larp

[winged field]

just make sure you get hungary as puppet

[proud tapir]

alr

[meager valley]

Hungary backstabs

That’s why

[proud tapir]

ye ik

and Romania

[winged field]

Ig with new focus tree from dlc you can get austria too

[meager valley]

Romania is pretty chill with Czechs Normally

[winged field]

so it should be even easier

[proud tapir]

Your neighbours are overall pricks

[proud tapir]

and core it

[meager valley]

Just rush little entente as commie, annex Germany ASAP then absorb all your former allies b/c commie

[winged field]

yeah, thats kinda nuts

[proud tapir]

but its harder to defend a wider border, you can retreat behind the alps

[winged field]

like to some degree czechoslovakia has better way to form austria-hungary 😭

idk how that makes sense but ig

[proud tapir]

also should i try using spgs? Can i buff out soft attack with cheap light spgs?

[winged field]

works ig

if you can produce them before war

like for all divs

[calm steppe]

which country is best to start with

[winged field]

best as in?

[proud tapir]

Current ranking of AH formables:

1. Czechoslovakia
2. Austria
3. Hungary
4. Croatia (theres like several videos of Croatian AH on youtube whats up with that?)

[winged field]

whats your criteria

[proud tapir]

hmmmm

[calm steppe]

well dont want to be the immediate target of every other nation

but also a big one

[winged field]

idk why hungary is easier for me than austria but it still nuts Czeslovak is at top now basically

[calm steppe]

with a strategic advantage

[proud tapir]

South America, so like Brazil? Canada

[calm steppe]

forget the american continent

asia/europe is the target

[proud tapir]

Brazil
Go fascist
Justify against neighbours
Practice combat against your neighbours

[calm steppe]

that is some confusing stuff.

[winged field]

facist france works ig

if u really want to be big one

or democratic germany

works both ways

[proud tapir]

ah but he prob dosent have gotterdammerung

[steel zephyr]

total czech chudding

[proud tapir]

so he gets the old alt history path

[calm steppe]

not much of a democracy fan tbh lol

[proud tapir]

i dont even remember what the old one is about

[calm steppe]

ill try german empire

[molten forge]

someone wants mp ig (i just wanna test any dlc)

[proud tapir]

Romania can be fun

plus

you can switch sides

[calm steppe]

huh?

[proud tapir]

so if you start losing

just do your like very last focus and join the other side

[molten forge]

romania after you legit swicth though all 4 ideologies in the span of a year

[calm steppe]

interesting.

[winged field]

USSR when they start hearing drumbum drumbum🇷🇴

[molten forge]

you can lowk join axis for land then go to allies to win

[proud tapir]

When the king gets replaced by fascists, then another group of fascists attempt to coup the current fascists

then you become communist

[molten forge]

happened once lol

also anyone got all dlcs

[proud tapir]

meee

[steel zephyr]

czechkreig

[molten forge]

wanna do a duo ?

[proud tapir]

ah sorry i dont do mp

[molten forge]

no worries

just curious of trying any dlc

[proud tapir]

i can recommend you some

if you are curious

[molten forge]

rn i have le resistance and bosphorus

[proud tapir]

Honestly a priority list:

1. No step back
2. By blood alone
3. La resistance
4. Gotterdammerung

i put gotterdammerung simply because its a fun dlc

[molten forge]

got it

[proud tapir]

i will keep saying this, gotterdammerung has some of the best and most fun focus trees

especaly Germany and Hungary

NSB and BBA for the tank and plane designer

plus some cool new trees

[molten forge]

for now i guess i will stick to my 2 dlcs

[proud tapir]

Arms against tyrany is also a fun dlc

def up there with gotterdammerung

imo

for the focus trees at least

[molten forge]

lowk first

need to undestand supply and navy more

[proud tapir]

supply is king

in simple terms
Supply hubs>connected to your capital
Your capital is your central supply hub, the heart of your supplies

Every supply hub should be connected to your capital so supply can flow, they are connected via railways

Trains are used to transport supply

You can use trucks to motorize supply and get supply range at the cost of trucks

And for naval invasions or simply air drops into a country like the UK

You drop into ports because ports are supply hubs too

[steel zephyr]

progress...

[proud tapir]

niceee

as a sincere barbarossa hater, i respect a good soviet invasion

[proud tapir]

and supply is also influenced by terrain and infrastructure

[molten forge]

guess where i got this

[proud tapir]

and how big your units are

tanks consume more supply compared to standard infantry

[calm steppe]

thats contradictory?

[proud tapir]

i hate doing barbarossa

i hate the soviets

unless im playing Germany, i avoid fighting the USSR

[calm steppe]

oh you hate DOING it, i thought you hated the historic operation itself

[proud tapir]

its just annoying

[molten forge]

this or the one i replied to?

[proud tapir]

🤔

the design?

[molten forge]

yea

[proud tapir]

bittersteel?

[molten forge]

nope

[untold cove]

there is actually an easy method

[proud tapir]

i did barbarossa yesterday in my historical Germany game

capped them in a year, -60k guns

-5k support equipment

1942

[molten forge]

so what do you think

[proud tapir]

I HATE barbarossa

[molten forge]

3x3 or 2x3 with one arti?

[proud tapir]

overall all decent base templates

[proud tapir]

i like 18 width the most, but 12 widths are good for minors without a lot of manpower

oh theres line arty in there

[steel zephyr]

soviet lines are so bugged ☠️

[proud tapir]

15 width

[steel zephyr]

entire army in belarus

[proud tapir]

still decent

[untold cove]

trying adding some support arty

[proud tapir]

support aa is more important imo

priority if you dont have the industry for an air force

[molten forge]

so 3x3 or 2x3?

[untold cove]

not line arty

[molten forge]

3x3 okay

[untold cove]

you add it below the engineers

[proud tapir]

he means support arty

[untold cove]

3x3 infantry is mid at everything

2x3 is good at defensive

[proud tapir]

line wait what makes the 12 width better than the 18 width at defence?

3x3 has higher hp,org and defence?

[untold cove]

3x3 is good at defensive too

[steel zephyr]

🤤

[proud tapir]

or am i missing something

[untold cove]

you can defend with 2x3
you can defend AND attack with 3x3

[sly venture]

we are not losing malta

[lofty adder]

What about -5.5

[untold cove]

8 coastal forts is toe tingling

[stable forum]
