Have some common sense @prisma steppe If you wanna complain do it via the ticket system
i aint digging my grave with a complaint
french communist alternative ahh
i am not going back to mute-hell
why
That is just wildly inapropriate conduct, there is other spaces where you can behave like that.
Anyhow. HOI4 Channel.
you are not pushing gang
Most of the people here are immature kids tbf
- die perfidious albion achievement
- petain is a strong leader
I will refrain to make a judgement on that. Lol.
Lol
i got 68% max entrenchment
60 divs vs 7
Karl whatever ur typing think before u press enter
hoi4 lookin a bit different today
99% of human-wave-offensives fail before the frontline breaks, fu i cant get the sentence to look right
bro had to stop the femboy stuff 🤣
what is the average age of someone that will understand how to play hoi4
i had to save st kirk somehow
why are they not at war with the germans
so do you fyi
People just follow the rules and listen to mods it's not hard to do
Like there's a literal #server-rules
blud started with it tho
....
No, don't listen to us, unless it is rules related 💀
Theres not an age limit to hoi4
13+
imo
Just letting you know too, in the spirit of fairness
imo 13+ is good but
If u tell me to cook my ramen without water I'll do it I done it before
when you learn that mussolini will never help you when you play germany
reichspakt vs comintern whose winning
102+, you need the irl experience
close one for the commies
the ai fought over germany so much this happened once
Tell them to open up the pre order for Thunder at our gates
-_-
I will pay 134 bucks
Idc
just open the flood gates, billions will perish
hey guys! im trying to be a lore accurate WW2 Italy with this division, how am i doing?
special forces?
What am I looking at
Exactly
so many tanks?
i see bc actually im 16 and bought the game five days ago but before it i was watching some guys on youtube playing it but i didnt thought i will be this hard
Why u got horses?
im tryna be a accurate italy
it very hard
a ww2 accurate italy
ehhh
It was easier to learn 5 years ago.
There is still a crazy learning curve attached to all pdx games. Especially this one.
once i invaded britain as germany and i thought i was gonna win until they naval invaded and somehow had like 30 heavy tank divisions while i had all of lower britain
When naval template
I want to make my own naval template not design more
Just focus on div design, research, NF and construction for now
Ngl this be cursed
I have just asked the devs, they told me in ex10^10^1000^10000 years
if u wanna play an accurate ww2 italy its very simple
UGHHHHH
start by making divs like this
for lore accurate italy experience
also be sure to lose 500k men in greece
rate 1 / 10
don't fret, as far as we understand physics, this moment in time should arrive.
doomscroller meets unscrollable thumbnail
When the Siam dlc arrives i shall take over China
hoi4 anyone?
oof
i watched lots of tutorial about it but still hard
its 00 41 rn
sure
There is Chinese Suplements to make you better at HOI 😂
praying to god for tmrw
all dlc?
yep
mods the individual is still messaging me
the great trial is there
don't know wha to expect
u messaged me back too
fuhrerreich?
@winter fulcrum last warning for ya
ok i will check about it
I genuinely cant stand russians
thats a joke template btw
once my acc got stolen
where
no no its musolinis favorite
I constantly deleted millennium dawn russian translation mods
ah ok
always the russians
that was a joke too, stick to tutorials xD
or tfr
oh and play as canada
I learned HOI by... I don't remember.
Isnt this borderline religious talk
It features bugs bunny, thus it is
yeah idk so much of my hoi4 knowledge just kinda stuck in my head
😭 😭
😭
like its like learning english
Karl stop being the way u r
1 percent from class, 20 percent from yt
Karl, actually just reas the rules...
79 percent spawned in
And stop bothering me here about them.
An idiot basically idk
how does one reas the rules
too stressed
Wut?
now i have to watch this
Wtf
random ahh kid on tiktok
hes def inbred
tno hoi4
oh
please don't post infants here
infants?
*kids thats doxxed themselves to the world because they don't know any better
Casey buy me an Korean restaurant
oh mb
LUUUUNNNNNCHHH
Hi Casey!
Ciao everyone
Has my ticket been read?
is he urs
dont have the money
Sounds like an you issue
wait
do you want me to lie
is that golden retriever or?
Its not a report. It's for sum else
or he not urs
no.. its just a cute gif,,
and it looks like LUNCH
bye avemew 👋
thats rude :(
yk what else it is?
Hi chat
t a s t y
I’m literally such a chud
I’m making a chud mod for my chud game based on a chud mod for a chud game
hi chud im dad
So ur the chuddiest chud chudder chud of a chud?
but mods i got a serios question, how does one apply for a sticker for the server?
alright i found out
we need the TNO refrence sticker
king charles is just over 10 percent inbred
genuinely what millennial created tenor
what the hell is this
ha ha ha this is unbelievably funny!
i think its a lemur thingy
I mean the corniness
its kinda obviously used by either 10 year olds or grandmas
i believe chak adds them? but its always self made iirc
i forgot though
A The fire rises mod from HOI for New Campaign Trail is the chuddest thing ever made
minimum 13
I have this one friend that couldn't fit in so I genuinely tried helping him
IS THAT A TFR REFRENCE?!?!?!?
i declared war on belgium but they just dont attack
anything i can do to bait them without having to lose my entrenchment
they made fun of him so he removed them from the group
im playing as luxemborg
n ice
sounds about right
try to make them waste entrenchment
no
org
then encircle the lower left
and retreat
spam that
that's how I took them
do the same thing with netherlands by pulling back
I also remember a similar strat in a video
dont remember which
it was a pretty popular one either way
oh yea you're right
just keep some units back
isnt there the general ability to attack and not lose entrenchment? like the active one
otherwise ur fried
siege arty?
I think so but I forgot
or something else
probing attack i think its called
what
probing attack
its genuinely so unfunny that its funny
not rlly possible as Luxembourg
u need specific requirements for the trait
oh
just stick to last stand
well using a troop from the bottom state to attack from the top state then retreating worked
they can't break trough while ur attacking
good thinking
holy
It’s ass
TRF is a more fun expirence then TNO
only if u play 1 of 5 countries
other 1s have no tree
just play millennium dawn atp
millenium dawn is lagmaxxing sim
now we're cooking
played it and immediately got bored
The fire rises gives the average conservative like 0 reason to not think the Patriot front is a better version of the Republican Party. Because the fire rises just wanted to include them as an edgy party so didn’t do anything to actually look in to them
if we goin there we can play vici3 and be done with it
oh ur following that guy's strat
I recognized cuz planning bonus on germany
which one
I forgot
im doing some shi i learned from jaush
but its the only commie one
yes that one
The real patriot front has defacing memorials be their hazing challenge for new members. you wouldn’t know any of that shit from in game cuz there too wholesome chungus
do empty carriers still work
in SP
meh
depends
on uk hell no
uss also
any other country prob
they fried my empty carriers
ok I figured , tried that as France but Im assuming they're hard coded to leave their fleet in the channel no matter what
yeah
they leave their fleet wherever you make a plan
I barely land them as germany
also they never leave the channel
Ill see if I cant invade through the North Sea
If I cant Ill restart and go all in on paratroopers
they leave almost anything besides it if there are bombers
decent ides
idea
use heavy fighter naval bombers
expensive but do the job
watch out for agility tho
or wtv its called
I miss old hoi4 navy
it was so easy as 1939 germany
every upd I play it
this one i barely beat them with nav bombers
the navy is so shit
and tanks are even worse
3 motorized 1 tank
what the hell are we even making
Im not even gonna lie bruh
I just put light tanks in my infantry div and call it a day
no no
get medium or heavy
if ur armor is above their piercing im pretty sure they get bad modifiers for attaci
attack
thats what Im building but I had like 1200 light tank stockpile
sell it lowk
so I said screw it and put a light tank in every one of the motorized divs France starts with
or make light tanks
whats a good med tank division for germany
mid-late ig
Just bring that breakthrough number up as high as possible twin
do 10 medium 10 motorized and armored companies
signal is a must
I FOOOOOOOOOOOKIN HATE TFR
Why
Jk
But they did ban me for talking about a potential path for south korea I thought of, joseon cybernation [its a real thing, a country entirely on the internet, run by a korean descendant of a korean king, and its actually recognized by the government of antigua and barbuda]
Speed > breakthrough
son
😭
What level of stupidity are you on bru
NGL I do not optimize for speed after like 8kmh
This person really said speed over bt
Twin your mot. cannot go fast enough for you to be caring
What mot
trolling the new players
Use mech with tanks
I know you should use mech but I like never do
You'll never stop me from mobile warfaring
After 1939 I turn my brain off
Researching mech feels like sitting through a 3 hour movie
ONG
Doing any macro after 1939 is HELL
Japsterdam??!?!?
Honestly after I cap France as Germany Ill be so lazy I decide to just max out infrastructure on all my states
"Im sure theres some benefit to this"
Son
I know how to play the game okay Im just super lazy
NEVER
What should I do as Monarchist Czechoslovkia
you move faster
Very big fast
I want my tanks to go the speed of my boats
great for retreating indeed
Move faster, do less damage ✅️
Move slower, do more damage ❌️
You're beginning to understand
Im not agreeing with your opinion
This is such a dumb ass opinion
yes
Okay
Too bad i read it wrong and will continue believeing you have
Im officially awake for 48 hours, time to kill my sleep schedule by watching aa make "fireworks" in the sky
I could film it
But ill go to jail for that
Anybody have any ideas on how to get the achievement Once More Mate?
My plan was to join the Cominterm and invade Turkey from the Soviets but turns out I couldn't actually declare war since I wasn't a major
Does anybody know a way to get around that
i dont trust the chearnabog rabbit
Ok nvm tfr banned me for something very unfortunate
They said delete messages and I thought it was a joke or something lol
Ahistorical go whatever britian goes
Invade turkey
Grab gallipoli
Profit
Ok but how would that go around not being a major to declare wars?
(Also I didn't know that was a rule until now)
shouldnt need to be? Just not be a puppet
Might have been the faction rule in the Cominterm
Actually, I could just try it with NCNS turned off
bruh there are too many achievements these days I cant even find it
wtf 270 achievements
It's the one where Australia needs to take a state in Turkey
Gallipoli
Oh the Gallipoli one
I was thinking that I could get it and then Australia Hungary right after and get all the Aussie achievements before TaoG comes out
I am australia player btw i play nothing but australia
Erm akhually Gallipoli isn't a state in the game ☝️ 🤓
Im so ass at HOI4 these days holy
is that mymy
No
....
ur not allowed to post political symbols. that german flag aint allowed in here
(not mini modding)
@uncut pollen
well looks like i gotta remove history
no nazi flags/imagery please.
Also, blur the swastika next time, youre gonna get in trouble for posting this
Bro rlly tried to sneak in El Salvador
i forgot that i still have that mod in
is germany coded to dismantle maginot if they get alsace lorraine
Also maybe with bftb off to avoid having the leader that gives 200% longer justify time
This EU bottle deposit thing is so bullshit people literally search for bottles in trash cans just to buy alcohol
What focus path did eu take
-100 000 manpower
lowkey vichy france might be busted
fahh
im in 1936 tho
Oh well that might be different then
can i set up troops in africa to prevent degaulle from stealing it
The bottle deposit ain't that bad
As long as you return your bottles you get you small boost back
Same kind of dopamine hit like tax returns
It's about promoting alcoholism
Not the fact that I just threw out a few pennies
also removed all of french starting debuffs
No it's scripted
Free France will start a coup event in a region and the region might agree
Yeah that... doesn't happen? Like I've seen homeless people grab a few bottles to return but it doesn't promote alcoholism
If anything the homeless grabbing bottles to make some money gets the trash off the streets
There was this really smelly dude at lidl with an entire shopping trolley of bottles ready to insert them into that machine and buy more beer so kids on the street can watch how a man ruins his life with pints
Like if they were gonna spend money on alcohol anyway the bottle deposit system isn't promoting it
op ass advisor
It's now a lot easier for them to earn money this way
It's random, ish
They drink more and show themselves in such state to the public
How can I stop Motorized being kringe?
I'm playing Motorized only today, how can I stop ts being kringe.
So that isn't promoting anything
It's promoting people returning their trash so there's less garbage on the streets
Maybe instead of blaming the bottle deposit we can blame the other reasons why people are drinking themselves to death
I can only blame communism in my country
almost 30 years ago
Yes
How does it make sense if you on a walk far from home
And you buy shit
You waste tons of money
Carry the bottle with you
This looks so stupid
Or just find a place with the things that take the bottles
U could also just throw it away in a trash bin or something
On your way
Still a lot better than just leaving it on the ground for others to clean up
Alr this is a hoi4 channel lets talk about somethin else
Best strategy to unite germany as Volga Germany?
Youre hopeless

what compels one to do this
The same force that told bitt3rsteel to save germany on the 27th of april 1945
Adolfino Hilterovich from Volga Germany when Germany 
I just remembered that you can make adolf the leader of ukraine in the mod ukraine above all
Señor Hilter from argentina joined the chat
When will there be an adolf comeback to germany achievement where you conquer Germany as Argentina with that suspiciously looking non-former nuzy guy on the argentinian throne
Why cant paradox just make a soviet overhaul
Why not a Volga Germany focus tree
Thw ssr's were de-facto self governed but heavily influenced by the kompartiya
No Step Back
If they have 0 foreign policy independence you can ask yourself if they should exist on the map
Well the ssr's do become members of the UN but who cares
Hey Marijn
Hey Aali
Volga Germany Ironman mode german reunification challenge today
does anyone else hate alt history mods that overcomplicate the game and the economy mechanics? im starting out the new order but lowkey might just not because of all this economy bullshit
I AM the neighbor's kid
Do you think I should add Flevopolder as an island for my mod?
Yeah, millenium dawn
Okay that sounded off
I dont think the island existed in 1936
It's 2025
Ahh
I think the map scale isnt sufficient to have it nicely separated unless you mess with the shaders
Ah alr
like this is just overwhelming i might just play r256 or kaiserredux instead
I could maybe use a river or something
Though even then that might be too wide for how narrow the canals are
Play md and downliad all kinds of submods
MD is incompatible with like 90% of its submods 😭
It's a very delicate mod
im not necessarily looking for modern day mods just alt history mods pre 1990s
Every update changes it drastically for sub mods
The director's cut version literally became an entirely new mod instead
Just like paradox does to nudger every updat3
Cause they didn't wanna have to keep confining to MD's updates
Idk if I should keep Coal on here. I know it's a Fossil fuel but it'd kinda remove the whole strategic value of oil-rich countries when some state like West Virginia makes as much in coal
mod authors genuinely are shooting themselves by designing unnecessary mechanics that complicate the game further. like no one wants to deal with that unless theyre some ultra nerd and unemployed
This is HOI4, those two names describe like a solid chunk of the community 🙏
the autism is strong in this community 😭
Also you hopped onto TNO, what'd you expect
That's more like a novel than a game ATP
it looked interesting but now im being pushed away with all this foreign mechanics
its like chinese to me atp
Hello.
idk if i should go extensive conscription or partial mob since im on civilian economy
Did you form the benelux formable?
yup
i was getting advisors not even thinking about my economy laws for a second
luckily i had 150 to jump to limited conscription at least and still have political correctness to give me 200 pp
but man
i think im slow for real
im over here using my puppets for manpower
benelux doesnt have much manpower because the dutch and belgians are homosexuals
i think they come out the womb with infantry equipment III
There's always a solution
I only played belgicia, i wont play the netherlands
i dont remember this in my last playthrough 🥀
thoughts
Bit slow ngl
speed dont matter
So the new Regimental Support companies basically disincentivizing small divisions?
seems like it
Uh.... We slap support companies on regiments
7 mill casualties ain’t bad as USSR right
That means....
against Germany
upcoming stuff
NO MORE LINE ARTILLERY TORTURE
out next month
ugh
LET'S GO
now we have to use support arty instead of line arty
Even better: Superheavy Artillery
LET'S GOOOOO
Siege Artillery Doctrine boutta be HYPE
new doctrines too?
superior firepower stocks after this update 📈 📈
Mabye to you it doesnt
Siege Artillery doctrine after this update 📈
artillery fans rise up
Do casualties matter as Russia
CAS after this update 📉
lol no
Imagine slapping AA support on each regiments without the need of slapping Line AA
A M A Z I N G.
i honestly enjoy field engineering
or assault artillery
might actually have to make more than 4 templates if this stuff is impactful enough
does anyone use line aa tho
cant be me
You need that shit for piercing and AA
bro use line anti tank at this point 😭 🙏
Brother it's versatile
AA and AT, no need for AT
whats being changed
i havent read
Regimental support companies
someone fill me in im on my hoi break rn
Wait so basically... There's no line of support companies and we're basically putting support companies under regiments?
Thank god
so say, flame tank, ranger recon
you can put under the batallions
from what i can tell
and then stuff like support artillery are per division
Wait you mean to say that line arty will have more of a use than "you absolute idiot"?
never
Chat they're giving australia a focus for something to do with carriers. HMAS Sydney is the name of the focus
Yea, His Majesties Australian Navy Sydney
they would have to solve the width, HP and stat scaling to make it good. Same way certain mods do
There's a doctrine for that
But it makes it pretty much useless
still doesn't make it worth over the alternatives
Its a Leander class cruiser
Yes but it's better with SH Artillery
No theres a focus in the new naval part of the tree if you look on the steam page that shows some of it
Also a new flag for australia
Yea, but it wouldnt be the Sydney unless its alt hist
Yeah i know
Anyways ima wait for the dlc b3fore I look at the content, mostly bc I dont wanna get my hopes up
Except it could also be the HMAS Syndey carrier
Here lies ranger recons
🪦
Gone but never forgotten
nah itll just be debuffrd
rn
its 15 support equipment
huge buffs to terrain
There's also this
i think/hope all terrain will have increased cost
Probably, its a 1944 light carrier
The less battalions, the less effectiveness
Still pretty cool they're doing a focus for it
Fr, though they still gotta fix the british and american trees
90% of their content is sitting there.. menacingly
Nothing but bare bones US tree lol
are these worth doing
Look at what they give
70 days for 2x random tech bonus you don't need
230 days to wait, also not a good timing placement
3 focuses take about 210 days
i hope to god they don't make the terrain bonus support companies regimental
i am on my knees
So we're wasting 20 days to wait for a new focus
praying
Because you got that tech 5 years ago
Bc 6 tech slots
exactly
US tree is like 50% fluff you don't ever do, or only take absurdly late when you're out of focuses to take
Nah just do continuous focus for construction speed
Because the stuff you dont do is either historical, communist, or fascist
Do I need to touch grass if I win WW2 as Germany before 1940?
I can't even speed run the US getting out of Undisturbed Isolation without Congress ruining my day
for balance, i hope they do
I defeated the UKs navy
tbh
Winning before 1940 is easy, its really just hard to get there historically
And? Navy after NCNS is easy
but realistically they might just do it the opposite way
I don’t do historical focuses sometimes
what is the longest time somebody played hoi4
1 second
make things like support artillery regimental and terrain buffs divisional 🥀
I don’t even do adopt a new panzer doctrine
REALLLL
💔
Prussian legacy
This I goddamn agree.
my profile says it
ive played until 2058 once
nice
no like i dont want them to do that
I always do The Prussian Legacy because I mostly use infantry
I've played until 1980
And because I’m the kaiser
@heavy vigil i meant by hours tho mb for lack of clarification
Then my laptop died and I had to get a new one lol.
idk
Afked the 1984 mod until 1992, where is my damn anti revolution?!
Supposed to happen 1985
Like straight AFKing
Tbh i think the british tree is worse
chad afking
australia tree worse
And you have the biggest navy in the world
💀
Casey im excited because they let us see the military trees
their historical routes are pretty similar, focuses take too long, rewards don't scale with the rest of the game due to power creep
im not gonna be invested into hoi for probably like another month im sorry XD
you guys have to play fire brigade man
ive seen ask for help
I love establishing Reichkommsariats
theres some truly braindead posting again
I'm busy on Shogun 2, maybe later.
its been rough
Is it possible to turn France into a reichkommsariat
its kinda crazy man i didnt think i was super important anymore in keeping the chat like, relatively fine for advice
but like idk, seems kinda bad again rn
but whatever i gotta grind minecraft fr
also update
im cautiously optimistic?
but i highly doubt theyll actually change anything
in terms off the OP modifier stacking
which is like, just so bad
makes ai worse to play against, makes it harder for new players to learn
the modifiers should be reduced
but i highly doubt thatll be reduced/fixed majorly
hoi4 should take a page from Stellaris, which recently had a massive nerf patch, reduced alot of the powercreep buildup
Yeah but they havent shown the new politcal tree
hoi4 would benefit alot from something similar imo
Or industry tree
Yall, what’s the best military support division? Specifically national guard
Because yes I larp multiple military sectors
Only as Bulgaria though
the difference in trajectories and development between the two games are night and day
stell players have it good
I think I have console edition Stella on gamepass
I can play it through the cloud
If by good you mean remove individuality from each origin/empire type sure
Stellaris is overpriced
I’ve played it and it’s boring
Stellaris is just a number stacking game now
Even though I love Star Wars
The Star Wars mod for hoi4 is more enjoyable btw
Its just boring now
top decreases my air production by 25%, boosts reich air production by 5%, and changes occupation costs by -10% consumer goods
bottom cuts my recruitable population by 25%, boosts reich production efficiency by 10%, and changes occupation costs by -10% consumer goods
Hoi4 bores me now
Suppose you're on a game show, and you're given the choice of three doors: Behind one door is a car; behind the others, goats. You pick a door, say No. 1, and the host, who knows what's behind the doors, opens another door, say No. 3, which has a goat. He then says to you, "Do you want to pick door No. 2?" Is it to your advantage to switch your choice?
Like I legit play Skyrim and Rome 2 with the divide et impera mod and have more fun than hoi4
Because in the latter for example I have to manage my economy and population
Play total war
You manage your own troops in a battle directly
Rome 2 is total war
Get napoleon though
I’m playing with the divide et impera mod
It’s better
Class based population mechanics and historically researched units
Will the soviets take back Moscow
Peak mention
Will get it
I despise the campaign though
Eventually
I mostly just do PVP battles
Play the divide et impera mod for Rome 2 if you want a campaign
2 front war start as Rome
Rome is a bit too old for my autism specialty
Fair
Yo, why did I start out as the owner of Barcelona? The only troops there was one cavalry I had in barcelona city and 7 republican troops in the same city, so just all stacked
Probably the most rewarding campaign victory I had
Attila's optimization sucks
Fr
Like everything i used to love playing, is now just absolutely boring
Just do a mega
I won as the western Roman Empire on very hard very hard
Really
You know ball
I didn’t even kill Honorius too
I turned him into chadicus Maximus
From garbage Roman emperor of our timeline to restitore orbis 2.0
@sudden thistle my absolute favorite total war moment
This was mine
80% of the Skaven army came to touch me
I saved the western Roman Empire in mine and rewrote centuries of European history
Idk
dreadful
best single engine, HMGs, extra fuel tanks, armor plates
i dont have half of that
also whats an hmg
heavy machine gun
its an inter-war airframe
thing with making fighters is that you need them cheap and effective, which means only like a couple of designs are "good". What you're making is more expensive and less effective than ai planes
he shouldnt even be making air if that's the state of his air research
I just pulled my second all nighter
i love how doing the early vichy thing essentially froze germany in 1936 since they cant do anschluss bc theyre at war
you dont have to diss me like that 😭
"STATE_461"
yeah ive had that glitch for a bit
i kind of live with it atp
check integrity of game files or smth right
you first have to go to documents/paradox interactive/hoi4/localisation/english and delete that and then verify
worked for me
delete the "english" folder?
delete whats in the folder
ok
How I feel when I research 1944 technology in 1940 [Im getting 99% red bubbles]
Dw, just ~roic
Also losses are base on the division template misty
what have u been doing
nice job
they aint even capped tho
ww1 simulator
the soviets is gonna take back moscow
WHAT ARE THOSE DIVS
they aint even fully equipped
fall back to the stalin line gng you are not in a position to attack
im playing as the usa bro
im betraying Germany im helping the soviets
God i wish i had my italy save where it seemed both britain and usa went full monkey with navy
Question: Why are we slapping bomb sights onto fighters?
The Second Battle of Moscow
Idk
Who won?
Direct rule from new Rome
I imagine the Soviets won tbh, but only by a small margin
It's moreso Verdun basically
the soviets havent won yet but they are winning Both sides are taking SO many Casualties germany 12M Deaths Soviets 13M deaths
Like I've defeated the Allies with like 12 million casualties, 12 million vs 13 million casualties is insane (this is 28 days before i capitulated the usa)
No when i say insane im like 99 percent sure like 90 percent of their pop was on navy vessals
oof
Yall seeing this?
i'd imagine that'd crash the game though, that's at least 1000 vessels in the navy
and probably closer to 10000 at that
No lmao
The bloom has more pixels than the screen bro 😭
i degausse bro 🥀
I remember a hoi4 mod I played and Indiana was literally kkk. Why
Why
Why the KKK?
why do vichy foci take so long
your taking too long
🎃 😢
yo italy isnt doing too bad
Italy performs horribly
is it possible for generals to actually die??
No
that ENTIRE palestinian part is encircled btw
friendship ended with vichy france, calais france is germany's new best friend
how tho
no supply
ig
Only can “die” via disposal or them joining the next side of a civil war
wdym you guess gng
idk i expected someone to build supply there
it would be a cool feature if they like died sometimes
Only exception is the German civil war where you can use them later
like rarely
supply only works if connected with capital
what about ports
and they probably dont have naval superiority in the med
Just imagine seeing your best general die because he messed up a single battle
btw is it normal that when I became vichy, syria and lebanon became independent and joined back the allies
it would just be a rare occurrence
I don’t want my gens dying mid battle dude
ok but killing the enemies general would be awesome
Average day in the balkans when I play Bulgaria is literally stalingrad
Very few nations have that as a decision, which it’s a popup event, one of which is Germany
Requires you to win the civil war as the opposition to the NSDAP though
Stop playing France son.
that happens when you dont anschluss
no
yeah, germany has been at war since 1936(its 1939 rn) so they havent been doing stuff
chat i just realized if you delay anschluss for a long time and let them annex hungary will you get hungary as well?
or do you only annex austrian cores
France is so difficult if you don’t expand the Maginot
but what if germany hasnt been doing expansion
On historical it’s guaranteed
no it isnt, see my game
Did you declare war on the Rhineland remilitarization
yes
i hope germany dismantled the maginot already
why
genuinely why
i wanted to play vichy
has to be the most useless ahh decision ever
why
I made a bunch a divisions as Bulgaria
vichy prob more boring than usa
quickly removes all my debuffs i think
Each being a template
idk first time playing ironman france
chat gonna play a quick germany game before bed
go historical but do the thing where france flips you democratic
also hes got a cool hat, do the others have a cool hat
Do not adopt a new panzer doctrine
why
Its worse than the Prussian Legacy focus
Adopt new panzer doctrine because larp 
Most people just use infantry
how bro
Also if you use tanks, it isn't actually that bad
tanks are op
Infantry are more versatile
Otherwise Prussian legacy buffs your inf
especially for france
Tanks have speed and go vroom
Tanks VS Support AT
Also firepower is nice
When does the ai use that
More achievable with motorization
Never
I think the new panzer doctrine is probably better
Therefore tank good
gives you a bunch of whole-army buffs
true but with beefy mech they slam anyway
Prussian legacy is better if you don’t want tanks
But why not use tanks
yeah but why would you not want tanks
Tanks good
Tanks gobble up your fuel
as germany youre probably going to have more production than manpower
Which belongs to the navy
Okay? And?
maybe not for sp tbh, prussian legacy gives you gun research bonus which is much better than tank research bonus
I have a ton of refineries
A bug!!!
soviets can invade iran
I max refineries and storage out for the massive ahh navies I have to build for the Plan Z buff
Plan Z buff?
150 naval xp?
No
It is good if you hate Britain and wanna incinerate them before invading Poland
Plan Z gives you the Bismarck and Tirpitz a focus later which is all I need
But what does a man need 100 destroyers for
i like playing historical germany so ngl i just spam subs and steal soviet navy and then invade britain after
Screening bonus i guess
Have you thought of just patrolling your fleet in the English channel
Okay yeah that's actually pretty good
And just winning the naval war right after fall of france?
it worked, petainist winning with this one
oh yeah JUST do that
I make 2 squads and use them purely for operation sealion
JUST do it bro
France takes longer to surrender for some reason
how much industry do you put aside for navy
Literally 3 focuses
I don't even build any extra dockyards
I average 60-90 ports as Germany early game
so almost half a year
should i stay in the axis w/o joining the war or leave the axis
3 35 day focuses isn't that bad
which ones
Strengthen kriegsmarine, plan z, the battleship one
isnt it one 35 day focus and 2 70 days
its 140 days
SPECIAL forces ahh doctrine
2x50% for infantry weapons and 2x50% for artillery, as well as 15% attack and 10% breakthrough to infantry whenever you're in bewegungskrieg
By contrast adopt new panzer doctrine gives 2x100% for medium, 1 year ahead + 100% for heavy tank, 10% coordination, and 10% air superiority bonus in combat (plus 15% attack and 15% breakthrough for armor)
Eh, I get a 3/4 built Bismarck and Tirpitz
when you can't even say... my name...
and with a tank division that's going to be effectively halved since only half your division is armor
ok isnt trade interdiction and cruiser warfare for germany better??
because cruisers are already super good
ok but realistically you dont really need the mp43 you can just stay on mp38
cause of production cap
MP43 does more damage though
yeah but if you rush mp38 and get max efficiency cap its not worth it to switch
realistically mp43 vs mp38 is just so much better than an upgrade of a tank hull
Honestly goated focus
will the british guarantee if i justify on franco? its fascist on fascist crime so i thought not but i would like to know for sure
eventually you do need to switch tbh
not really
and if you do want tanks then you get better guns too
because if you get panzer doctrine and use it on the 1940 tank before you go into war you can get production cap
1940 medium i mean
like upgrading tank hulls doesn't really do much
you really don't need anything more than interwar medium
yeah 1940 hull would do a bit better but not 30% better
to get 30% improvement you look into tank modules
its way faster for base, has 100% reliability off rip and has 10 extra armor points
You know what makes it even more goated?
If you design a 1936 battleship hull with the name Bismarck Class, you get those being produced instead of the actual design the focus wants
Or is it Klasse...
One of the two
Silence.
i mean for the mp43 you can slowly switch off of it to eventually get production cap but still
also ur mainly going to be using the infantry bonuses on support equipment or machine guns anyway
sure but in real combat those don't matter that much
