[brazen marsh]

ok tyy for telling me

[terse skiff]

306 soft attack for 9245 cost 💀

[upbeat tundra]

BROS USING ARMOURED RECON

[brazen marsh]

its warthunder now lol

[upbeat tundra]

a breakthrough div should have atleast 400

[acoustic wasp]

ok you just clowning for the hell of it, armoured recon is great

[acoustic wasp]

LET ME COOK

[winged field]

light tank recon hate wont be tolerated

[acoustic wasp]

I WILL COME BACK WITH THE CASUALTIES AND I WILL GRILL YOU ALL

[upbeat tundra]

im not the one using a shit breakthrough div

[winged field]

we love breakthrough

[terse skiff]

breakthrough doesn't matter if your soft attack is similar to a mountaineer division

[upbeat tundra]

i meant 400 sof tattack

[terse skiff]

and you're cooking spoiled molded food now

soft attack should be as high as possible

[upbeat tundra]

ok man

[terse skiff]

i don't get why ppl don't believe in it but soft attack reduces damage taken also like breakthrough

the less time the enemy gets to fight back because they get deorgged too quickly the less damage they do to you

[winged field]

I see naval victory, I feel happy.

[upbeat tundra]

306 soft attack is laughable

[winged field]

love the navy mains

[terse skiff]

Is there any staff look for a grammar specialist for the game? I’ve been noticing the games grammar is horrendous.

@silk walrus

[mental mantle]

Cuz from the looks of it the russians had 2 civil war in the past 20 years and around a decade under a dictator
Barbarossa is gonna be a breeze

[patent thistle]

are you sure?

[mental mantle]

Then why are the soviets more red?

[patent thistle]

(minimum surrender limit)

[mental mantle]

Normally they are dark red

Here they are light red

That usually happens when the trotskyists start a civil war and win

[patent thistle]

they did have their soviet civilwar but i meant with the breeze thing

[mental mantle]

Oh

Well when it happened for me it was a breeze, in under 6 months they reached arkanagelsk astrakhan line, but Idk if they had that trait

[silver dawn]

does that mean that civilians died or that they fled?

thats londen it got hit by 2 nukes and had the biggest battle england ever saw

[astral forum]

Hoi4 doesn't have any representation of civilian casualties afaik

[haughty sail]

There are 3 types of naval players. Submarine spammers, all rounder naval, or carrier spam

[astral forum]

I think that's core/total manpower?

[silver dawn]

yes

[haughty sail]

If ur doing a all round naval build I want everything. Destroyers u want for anti sub and escorting

Cruisers and battleships u need for other ships

Cruisers and Battleships need more firepower than destroyers

[steel idol]

any1 balkan

[bronze glade]

4* The fourth type is taking a fleet in the peace conferences

[silver dawn]

but why are they just gone?

[upbeat tundra]

gunna try and make em get 100 million in losses

[bronze glade]

no

actually why no one is saying that austria eu path is goated

[astral forum]

I don't think they're gone, I think that's core manpower compared to the total manpower in all of your occupied territories/manpower in your non-corr territories (idk which). Hoi4 doesn't do civilian stuff, that's not in the spirit of the game or their vision, so I'm pretty confident it isn't showing how many missing civilians there are

[bronze glade]

you can get like half of the europe in 1939

the US cant be communist lmao

it would just be a bunch fo indigenous groups united under socialism

[upbeat tundra]

[solid rune]

this is the first ever game where i got nuclear bombed by bots

[winged tree]

states dont have ethnic boundaries, theyre a white monolith

socialists want national liberation for oppressed minorities

thats why russia virtually fragmented when lenin took over

[upbeat tundra]

never rlly played hoi4 centaura mod seriously or any ww1 mods is this a good div?

[solid rune]

when did churchil died

[austere swan]

Anyone wanna do some hoi4 hist

[winged tree]

combat width is too high, reduce infantry to 11-12
if you want breakthrough, use medium tank DIVISIONS, if you want defense, then sure you can supplement your infantry with heavies but you should dedicate only a certain number of infantry divisions to having tanks

not put heavy tnaks on every div bc thats a logistical nightmare

[solid rune]

when did churchill die

[winged tree]

google it

1965

[bronze glade]

then cap them

[lethal ether]

i think 1815

[solid rune]

do leaders in hoi even die

[winged tree]

nah

[solid rune]

like stalin in 1953 and others

[lethal ether]

yea they get hantavirus

[winged tree]

the game forgets to replace them

[lethal ether]

game content is only until 1945 right

nothing happens after

[winged tree]

1949

[austere swan]

Anyone wanna do some hoi4

[upbeat tundra]

yeah its only for defence

[winged tree]

im too tired rn

[upbeat tundra]

im js tryna see how many ppl i can burn

[austere swan]

Okay

[solid rune]

damn even road to 56 doesnt fix ts

[winged tree]

then by all means. just dont inflate your divisions with too many infantry battalions

be simple and compact

thats the best defense honestly

[patent thistle]

bro must really have hated ethiopia for collaberating with the italians to have this much of a beef-

[winged tree]

ratio of heavy tank infantry and just infantry should be ~1:4/5

[patent thistle]

[eternal aspen]

Ngl, I cant see how people can play hoi4 so much? Unlike other PDX titles where anything can happen, for the most part hoi4 has very specific things that could happen

Like russia will either be stalin, a 2nd soviet from a civil war, or the whites from a different civil war, it fun to try new paths, but it aint fun to get like, 20k hours without modding tf outa the game

[terse skiff]

cuz ww2 is the most popular time period among pdx games

[fair horizon]

austrian navy?

[solid prairie]

yes

they need one

[grave phoenix]

mods

[eternal aspen]

The Victorian era (vic2/3), the early modern (eu4/5), the medieval(ck2/3), hoi4 is a very specific period of modern history that is so relevant to our current time, we are even seeing close to the 20th century versions of this decade rn

[terse skiff]

imagine people knowing the Victorian era

[grave phoenix]

theres a lot of good mods that make the game completely different

and vanilla itself already has enough content in theory

[terse skiff]

most people don't even know which french empire and republics were around at that time

most people don't know who Cortez is and where the Aztecs lived

most people don't even know what HRE was

but most people do know that Germany had tanks in and a lot of Soviets died in WW2

[foggy scaffold]

So how's the commonwealth of nations in my game the largest faction when canada Australia new Zealand or even south africa doesn't exist

Wtf

[terse skiff]

also hoi4 was the most recent game among its generation of pdx games (vicky2, CK2, EU4, HOI4) so it has the best ui and controls compared to the others\

like seriously who thought of that CK2 ui

I can't even easily find which courtiers have a lot of money for me to steal from

[rugged nova]

Hoi4 is literally fun because of mods end of story

[eternal aspen]

Mfw ive seen CoN with Canada, ethiopia, Venezuela, Peru, and headed by Palestine with Tuva owning half of palestine

I love the hoi4 ai ngl

[rugged nova]

I can tell you 99% of hoi4 players know these facts

[winter fulcrum]

my friend doesnt have his steam account linked to his paradox account, how can he play with mods?

[terse skiff]

also hoi4 is the fastest one

you're not going to end a eu4 playthrough in 10 hours but you can easily do that with hoi4

prepare for ww2 - fight ww2 - congrats the game is over

[eternal aspen]

We need hoi5, but the issue is there isnt content to add right now, as Caluswitz is coming to an end of compatability with the hearts of iron line

[foggy scaffold]

This is so stupid commonwealth of nations doesn't even exist man

[terse skiff]

with how eu5 has turned out I sure hope they don't screw up hoi5

[foggy scaffold]

How are they first.

[eternal aspen]

Hoi5 will probably be the very last they introduce because it'll be so hyped

We got vic3 and eu5, ck3 might be the last ck game because its already pretty perfect as it is

Everything missing can just be a new dlc

Other than that, the only real pdx history games that need to be reworked is rome and hoi4, because both run on the older style of everything compared to modern clauswiyz with fluid UI's and more dynamic stuff

[terse skiff]

where's my march of the eagles 2

[eternal aspen]

I didnt even know that was a game

Dawg we need millenia 2 before hoi5 ngl

Isnt millenia also just PDX trying to make Civ7 befire civ7 dropped?
