because almost all of the nsb paths in poland are so peak

[opal nymph]

Good luck

[astral sentinel]

one time i genuinely owned almost all of europe with fascist cossack poland

[fair horizon]

I have all the dlcs

[astral sentinel]

i encourage you to revisit poland

[north merlin]

are space marine worth it?

[terse skiff]

no

[north merlin]

reason?

[terse skiff]

cuz piercing and division template mechanisms changed

[north merlin]

how so?

[terse skiff]

also it always sucked against expert ai or humans

search for piercing mechanisms in hoi4 wiki

and back then it only costed 5 xp to add a tank to an infantry division instead of 25 xp

[plucky sparrow]

how form Islamic State in hoi4

I saw video about Islamic State formable on youtube

[north merlin]

i play single player and regular

[surreal mist]

its for D-Day wall, they need the air attack so they dont get rolled by air penalty

also width is irrelevant, you can get to 39 for most templates since it still fits in forest

[terse skiff]

I meant before it sucked in sp it already sucked against me and good ai

[uncut scroll]

Is this good entrenchment

[misty fossil]

No

[terse skiff]

no

[north merlin]

oh, then what should i make? regular inf and armor?

[terse skiff]

you can add dozer blades to tanks to add 1 entrenchment per armor battalion

[terse skiff]

yeah and armor meme was always a meme

[north merlin]

but ikd how to use armor, like i push and all i got is 4 armor division with fully drained organization

[north merlin]

ngl it's my line infantry that does all the pushing

[terse skiff]

what is your division? armor template?

[soft yacht]

bro i said that 2 days ago

[fair horizon]

Navy poland isnt as viable

[astral sentinel]

yeah i mean ive never used navy really so i would know

[misty fossil]

Just tag over and delete their navy

Whats so hard

[terse skiff]

it's not bad per se but you should replace motors with mechs or inf if you don't have the ic

and suport art with medium flame

[astral sentinel]

i have 220 hours and i still dont know what a template is

[north merlin]

i do, they at full strength

[terse skiff]

these are motor inf not mech inf

[north merlin]

yeah im still researching that

[north merlin]

oh mech inf? why?

[terse skiff]

mech inf has highest hp and hardness among all inf types

motorized inf is really bad, just use regular inf instead

[north merlin]

isn't mech slower?

[vernal river]

miraculously, i understand navy now better than i understand ground combat

[terse skiff]

speed doesn't matter

[fair horizon]

Welvome to the club

[terse skiff]

also your motorized aren't running at 12 kmh

[fair horizon]

Anti MW rhetoric will no be tolerated

[terse skiff]

mw has been the worst doctrine for like 6 years now

it is the worst at buffing tanks

[fair horizon]

No care speed go fast

[north merlin]

oh, ok

[north merlin]

but how do u use armor? do u like js find a random spot that u like and push?

[terse skiff]

yeah preferrably plain

and create breakthroughs and thus encirclements

or just be me and produce 120 of them and just click execute battleplan

[north merlin]

my friend said to only make like 8 of them bc of supply issue

[terse skiff]

well then fix supply then

[north merlin]

how to fix supply? build more railroads?

also how tf do supply actually work>???????

do supply hub generate supplies and railroad deliver them everywhere?

[terse skiff]

yeah

also get logistics wiz trait in your field marshals, pick supply army spirits for gbp, and research logistics companies

[north merlin]

do railroads only deliver them to provinces with the railroad or also deliver to a certain amount of provinces next to it?

[north merlin]

oh

[terse skiff]

depends motorization level of supply

[north merlin]

i put htem at max and produce trucks

[terse skiff]

but a supply hub except for capital can provide at most 35 supply with maxxed out railroad/port connection so you can guestimate how many divisions a place can supply. Remember provinces have an innate supply value

then around 5 tile radius

[north merlin]

ok

also if during battle my division lost all of it's organization do i js move them back? and replace them with a new one or do i keep pushing?

[terse skiff]

they automatically retreat

or stop attacking

[north merlin]

do i need to move them away for them to regain oranization?

[terse skiff]

no they automatically regain org when they're not in combat

[tepid saffron]

thank you usa for funding the war effort ❤️

[north merlin]

oh, alr

I love when they give you that but it causes you to not have any convoys

[oak mantle]

Also how does 1 convoy only carry like 15 guns

[fair horizon]

How does an entire division only use 1k guns

1 gun per 10 men

[terse skiff]

because the guns in game are rifle boxes that provide 10 guns to 10 men

[north merlin]

does anyone know why my ships aren't patroling that area? trhey have nothing else assigned anywhere else

[silk fern]

make sure the port is set to automatic

[high vector]

if your naval base is too far from the assigned area and your fleet range is insufficient

[north merlin]

what is that...?

[north merlin]

how do i check the range?

[high vector]

its based on how old the ship models in the fleet are

and how close the naval base is they're operating from

[high vector]

do this thing he said

[silk fern]

click that button so it automatically picks a nearby port to hq at

[north merlin]

oh, ok

but how do i check the range tho?

is it worth it to have your submarines in with your fleet? i always thought they were supposed to be in their own fleet

so many casualties though

i tried to kill yugoslavia but they were guaranteed
kill hungary instead

[silk fern]

NATO between the Confederacy and the Roman Empire

[wet flicker]

im playing as democratic european union, i can justify a war goal on greece bringing me to war against the allies

i want to do it right before germany capitulates and before the peace conference, so if i started justifying on greece before the war ends, will i be able to get the war goal after ww2 ends?

[dusky burrow]

well that depends on how fast you finish ww2 and how quickly your war goal on greece goes

[wet flicker]

its gonna finish in 1945 i just did a test run but i was at war with allies & axis at the same time

so when germany capitulated i ended up getting this:

but i lost it all immediately

i want to go to war with the allies after germany capitulates

so im hoping that as long as i justify a war goal before ww2 ends, the timer will keep going n ill be able to declare war to drag the allies to war with me

[dusky burrow]

Yeah

You can

the AI never seems to run out of equipment in my game its really annoying

germany at 10m deaths right now and they got 1m manpower and 90k equipment in their storage

[astral forum]

You can put Otto Von Habsburg on the throne as Austria

[north merlin]

ohm, ok

[north merlin]

is it hard tho? cuz im relatively new to the game

im like f ine with finland and romania and countries like that

[astral forum]

Nah, it's through the focus tree. If the Germans go Historical than you have to deal with Anchluss mechanics, but honestly forming the EU is op af, especially if you federalize people
Ofc, don't expect to be strong for a long while, or to ever have resources

Or manpower

[dusky burrow]

To the contrary, the German stockpile in my game is screwed

[north merlin]

ok, i'll give it a try and see what happens

[wet flicker]

yea they're hand in pocket right now aren't they

real down bad

[lofty adder]

What about attack

[lofty adder]

What do you think about attack

[dusky burrow]

Yeah

[lofty adder]

What about game

Do you think

why you say attack

is it too low

im too noob

[dusky burrow]

btw you don't need engineers to get entrenchment (engineers are factored under division template)

sheep's ai is considerably harder but if you're going for a long game it just doesn't make templates newer than 1940

[misty fossil]

what does this even do

"This mod adds attrition of 1% per month from the stockpile, it is just a v1 for testing purpose."

per its description

do you just lose 1% of equipment out of your total stockpile

@barren oyster oh since ur here did i get it right

[barren oyster]

@misty fossil yes

[misty fossil]

i see

thanks

does it have any impact on playstyle and such

[barren oyster]

If you download it, you can see the on_actions

[misty fossil]

i have no modding knowledge lol

[barren oyster]

No, it does very little in the end. It was mostly just created as a thought experiment for another player who didn't like that it didn't attrition

In the grand scheme of things, 1% and just shaves off the top

But it is for all countries, so everyone fields on average 1% less of everything I guess 😄

[barren oyster]

Can't believe you found it. Just how! x)

[misty fossil]

i see

good to know thanks

[prisma steppe]

ill change it to 5% and that will hopefully reduce the 150mio inf equipment the ai puts on the market

[ivory hull]

you dont "need" flame tanks and shh but this should be the base

[fair horizon]

not worth wasting carrier space on half and half planes

[acoustic wasp]

okkkk, i dont think im gonna need them it looks so easy to just invade from the phillipines straight to japan main land

[ivory hull]

are you the US?

[grizzled yarrow]

Yeah i prob couldn't get flqme tanks by the time il go for the sovietd

[acoustic wasp]

yes

it's much more fun than i expected tbf

[ivory hull]

even without them in the field, you still get the buffs btw

[grizzled yarrow]

Oh

[ivory hull]

just spam naval bombers lwk

[acoustic wasp]

[ivory hull]

why not just spam light cruisers

[misty fossil]

is ottoman empire fun

[grizzled yarrow]

Ehhhh

Could be better

[ivory hull]

@fair horizon whats the naval meta in sp?

[acoustic wasp]

mehhh im tired of playing meta and sweating my booty cheeks off and min maxing everything i want to have fun

[acoustic wasp]

torpedo dds i think

[fair horizon]

torpedo destroyers and carriers

[ivory hull]

for me its actually more relaxed to just spam the meta for ships at least

ground meta is more flexible

lwk

[acoustic wasp]

i mean torpedo destroyers are the meta i thought what if i try torpedo cruisers

and a couple of super heavies because why the hell not i have the industry

[sudden thistle]

U can afford a lot more than naval bombers 🥀

[ivory hull]

ive only like built a navy once so im not an expert on that

[fair horizon]

torpedo destroyers are cheaper for more torpedo

[ivory hull]

building a navy is too much designing

[acoustic wasp]

im not the smartest navy player ever

[acoustic wasp]

yeah i mean im not fielding 1000 off them i already have 150 or so

[misty fossil]

what are some obscure interesting countries

[sudden thistle]

The amount of designs u need to make u can count on ur hand

[grizzled yarrow]

Im lowk allergic to navy ✌️

[ivory hull]

i dont usually built navy so i wouldnt know

[sudden thistle]

Sinkiang isn’t that obscure

But fun

[misty fossil]

[ivory hull]

any mods like kx or ror

[misty fossil]

eh i dont want to do modded for now

[sudden thistle]

Kumul khanate?

[misty fossil]

yeah kumul

[acoustic wasp]

i had so much fun with finland but idk if it's "obscure" chinese war lords are mostly sufferage, ottoman turkey is good cuz you can like restore the empire after it was defeated in ww1, Byzantine greece, slavic union romanov poland you can core a LOT of stuff or play latin american countries

[sudden thistle]

[acoustic wasp]

does japan attack me on 1941 december too or does the ai attack earlier or later

i mean 1941 i would have a ginormous military no joke

i have like 2500 medium tanks sitting around and it's 1940

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1448605516271190069/1471252264629829902/IMG_1822.gif

[ivory hull]

whats the tank looking like?

also what are your marines

[sudden thistle]

they attack sometime 41-42

[ivory hull]

if youd make it a spg you would get +45% soft attack

[sudden thistle]

Wait for him to pull out the spg for the 7th time

Wait I mean 7^7

[ivory hull]

stop bullying my spgs bro

[acoustic wasp]

and before you scold me for line arty i have an artillery mod that makes it 2 width and actually good, i'm gonna have 2 rocket trucks in my template too

[misty fossil]

ew

[acoustic wasp]

in the armoured template

[misty fossil]

oh nvm

[ivory hull]

the better mechanics mod?

[acoustic wasp]

mehh i'm here to larp, mediums are still good

[acoustic wasp]

[weak magnet]

can anyone help me out with italy?

[fair horizon]

yeah

[weak magnet]

I want to try invade turkey early on but since romania like

[fair horizon]

dont play italy

[weak magnet]

guarantees them, i dont know how to deal with them

[fair horizon]

👍

[sudden thistle]

Naval

Invasion

[weak magnet]

i tried but they reinforce their ports like crazy

[fair horizon]

im very salty about italy

[sudden thistle]

On

Enemy

[ivory hull]

its actually good cause you get romania for free

[fair horizon]

because on paper they're amazing

[sudden thistle]

Naval invade more

[weak magnet]

they had like 8 division on a port

[sudden thistle]

If it doesn’t work do it more

[fair horizon]

naval invade the port and the tiles next to it

[weak magnet]

No i did im being serious and like i tried twice and the second time i focused even more

I play on elite though

[acoustic wasp]

so romania will go into the war but because it's offensive they wont call the allies in, you also wont have to deal with them at all unless you call yugoslavia into the war

[fair horizon]

you also have an island near them

[weak magnet]

With no dlc

Nono not turkey is the issue

Turkey is ok

Romania is the issue

[acoustic wasp]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7sjFx4a88JE&pp=ygUVaW1wZXJpdW0gcm9tYW51bSBob2k0

[weak magnet]

When I naval invade romania its nearly impossible, they genuinely have like 8 troops on each port

[fair horizon]

oh same thing then

[weak magnet]

I have no DLC

[sudden thistle]

Sheep’s mod 🤑

[fair horizon]

or invade bulgaria too ig

[acoustic wasp]

Dont naval invade them, just puppet yugoslavia and call them into war when you are ready

[weak magnet]

i dont think that would add much here except making me play meta stuff

[ivory hull]

how many times have you played sheeps?

[acoustic wasp]

you can puppet yugoslavia through your focus tree

[fair horizon]

invade bulgaria

[sudden thistle]

That’s a good question

[weak magnet]

wait even without dlc?

like yugoslavia

[weak magnet]

by that point they get guaranteed by uk

[acoustic wasp]

oh idk about the no dlcs

[weak magnet]

im essentially just trying to find a non cheesy but kinda fun way to do it

i was thinking paratroopers

should i try that and focus on paratroopers early on

[acoustic wasp]

watch the video i sent you, he will tell you how to take greece and turkey without calling the allies in

[sudden thistle]

Do some boring cheese build and form Rome by 8th December 1857

[acoustic wasp]

you have to like declare war on all of them at the same time

[acoustic wasp]

does anyone else have crashing issues sometimes?

[wide osprey]

add tanks

i prefered having air instead of tanks

[wide osprey]

wait wait wait wait stop stop wait listen

what on earth

[ivory hull]

anything but not using line arty

and ofc its like 20 support companies

[near mortar]

I use ncns

[ivory hull]

its still worse than inf

even with the doctrine btw

[near mortar]

Budyonyi changed since last time I saw them huh

[tulip thorn]

no

FOR GOD SAKE IT'S THE THIRD TIME IN A ROW THAT MY STALIN ASSASSINATION ATTEMPT FAILS, FOCK YOU STALIN

[near mortar]

Realy?

Why?

[ivory hull]

same reasons as before afaik lol

just use inf bricks

[near mortar]

Fine Ill try

[snow rain]

the doctrine makes it less worse but it's still way inferior to inf, especially since inf is buffed way more through advisors and doctrines compared to arty

it's still viable in specific scenarios of early war (like japan v china or 1936 war for manpower-limited countries) but it's almost always suboptimal at best

[ripe slate]

Did you do the NKVD focus? :)

[iron creek]

YES 😭

3 times in a row I lost that 80% dice roll

[tulip thorn]

You got to keep trying

99% of hoi4 players quit before it succeeds

[cedar lance]

my hoi4 game still keeps crashing

[cedar lance]

even tho the new mod is on the latest version

[weak magnet]

was it an old feature or does still having actual division garrisons on victory points lower resistance?

or was it never

[wide osprey]

pre 1.9 system

[weak magnet]

ok noted

so divisions have nothing to do with resistance anymore

[wide osprey]

yeah

[cedar lance]

idk if i can even play vanilla/base game or even with dlc/expansions on hoi4

[weak magnet]

to be honest no dlcs at all has been fun

i do this with a few games sometimes its pretty fun to play completely vanilla though it sounds bad

[tulip thorn]

No step back and arms against tyranny:

It takes forever to justify war goals

ive always bought New dlcs and expansions for hoi4 and always will

Level 1 anti air can pierce ai

[near mortar]

I play better ai mod

[tulip thorn]

Using calv with better ai 💔

[near mortar]

I already beat it with mech only and light tanks only

[tulip thorn]

Mech is pretty good

Light tanks are bad but can be used

Calv is just infantry but slightly faster

Same with motor

[near mortar]

They have more org and you can obtain a lot of cav buffs

As ussr

Org is a pretty not important stat for attacking above 30

Are 1 width divisions of light infantry with engineer company enough to hold off germany in 1941? I am ussr and I have 20 divisions of them, I deleted my other ones to get manpower

It’s june 1941

[tulip thorn]

Yes

Should hold great

you can even just afk

maybe even battleplan

Deleting troops for manpower as ussr is just trolling

Im talking about their region placements

I might be schizo

Ignore me

I thought I saw someone asking about napoleonic france

Oh

I responded to the wrong person

[tulip thorn]

And whats wrong with the regions

my brains might be fried

The 258161th time you sent ur video btw No1 is gonna watch it

[untold prawn]

If I send a naval unit to english channel they also go to another region

This is user error, not game issue

Make sure the navy has the range to reach the area

Nah

[ivory hull]

1.17 is like the same as 1.18

[tulip thorn]

I do know this

But some mods might still freakout

better safe than sorry

[ivory hull]

only ones that affect czechoslovakia i would guess

[tulip thorn]

Yeah

[cedar lance]

i really want a GODLIKE gaming laptop and pc

[frank estuary]

The mod does add a new state for Canterlot, so compatibility with other mods that alter the map might not be there.

[untold cove]

i wish we had different infantry types in the game

like normal infantry, assault infantry, heavy infantry, defensive infantry etc.

[ivory hull]

what would heavy infantry even be tho?

[winged field]

thats the whole points of combat width pretty much

18w defense

36w offense

[untold cove]

no i meant

jaegers were light infantry of heer

grenadiers were heavy infantry

stormgrenadiers were assault infantry

like that

[winged field]

I mean rangers are kinda that thing

they have more soft attack and org but less hp

[untold cove]

but they are special forces

[winged field]

ig

[ivory hull]

what are stormgrenadiers?

like shock troops?

[untold cove]

yeah, they are stroßtruppen but more common

not that elite

anyways what im trying to say is

more customization options for infantry

other than their rides

[ivory hull]

players are already confused by normal infantry bro

[winged field]

I guess the only way it could work be for stormtruupers is drastically lowering defense for sake of attack

like they would be utterly bad on defense

[ivory hull]

or like more urban attack but other bad terrain modifiers

[untold cove]

im sure paradox would come up with a pretty original system

[winged field]

yeah

[untold cove]

we would have an actual reason to use them instead of standard leg infantry

[ivory hull]

ig you have support companies for that lwk

[cedar lance]

hello all yalls

thank you, ill give it a try

[cedar lance]

i like that it readds the MP unit

[ivory hull]

can usually only recommend the better mechanics mod

[cedar lance]

alr

i like The BM EU mod

[ivory hull]

eu?

[cedar lance]

eu: extended units

[ivory hull]

oh yea lol

[untold cove]

not quite my tempo but it looks like a fine mod

[ivory hull]

it adds a lot of new units

[untold cove]

i see i see

but what i tried to meant was a infantry designer like a tank or plane designer

[cedar lance]

i like the BM Mods

[untold cove]

you design the battalion by assigning specific platoons or squads

[ivory hull]

a lot people cant even comprehend the vanilla game, no real need to make it that more complicated imo

[acoustic bronze]

@silk trench giving himself macedonia empire as host in 1936

[ivory hull]

whats that theater name there?

[untold cove]

agreed, it would be more complicated but more options for people who already got the hang of the game

[ivory hull]

so that is the reason why there are mods

[cedar lance]

@untold cove im gonna add RL units and templates in my HOI4 multi mod

[untold cove]

nice

[cedar lance]

like from the military org wiki page

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Military_organization#Army

@untold cove

ill add different variants like for infantry tanks etc

There’s a tab at the top for deploying troops

"it's fun"

Click around to see what all tabs do
It takes a while to know it all
But it’s really fun

[mental mantle]

Bro what I’m 16

[near mortar]

Well first you need division templates
Then you need equipment for them.
Then in recruitment tab you choose a template you want to train, then click "train"

[calm steppe]

Where is that

[ember vine]

What I meant is that qing reform is based on rage quits and stress

It's impossible to reform qing

Tank with down arrow

You need to start designing them though, vanilla troops are kinda bad
