which doctrine is best for KMT china in kaiserreich

am playing as the RKMT in guangzhou

[eternal aspen]

Iirc for any china its mass assault with as much CW reduction as possible

Just because cjona has the special ability of having so many eligible men on all but volunteer only

Unless ofc, you get buffs for one specific unit type, then you buff that

Which is why germany can get so good with the old doctrine with the new germany focus tree

Blitzkrieg makes buffing tanks to hell and back worth it

if u are soviets and accepted molotov ribbentrop pact, you can invade poland when germany does and the allies can choose to attack u or not

So this is what i JUST used and it DESTROYED the ussr in 1943 they had like 400 troops

[hybrid ocean]

rest is fine

but that tank div

EW

[errant remnant]

Idc it does the job

destroyed the USSR tanks and inf

[hybrid ocean]

i care

not enough bodies in the meatgrinder.

I dont

I also dont understand those block icons

rush uk asap, you want to conquer them around 40-41 ish

once u get uk its easy

u can yeet usa through canada and thats basically it

[lavish veldt]

these mefo bills are a pain my ass rn

im playin as germany rn

should i js

cancel the mefo bills

[winged field]

if you are not rushing conquest you can always take the left economic path

mefo bills are great if you know what you are doing

[heavy vigil]

just make mils bro

[winged field]

wtf are civs fr

[heavy vigil]

peg just doesnt redeem itself and is harder to play and learn

like its so much easier to tell some newbie to just make mils

[winged field]

how is peg harder tho?

it's just -consumer goods focuses

[heavy vigil]

cuz you gotta know when stuff pays off

[winged field]

ig

[honest vale]

the USA focus needs to get reworked so bad bruh

[shell sorrel]

Presumably will next xpac

[honest vale]

i aint never heard anyone say "Yeah bro im boutta play as australia"

[heavy vigil]

you also always have less out by war

mefo is easier

[shell sorrel]

I like playing minors > majors personally

[winged field]

oh less for sure

It just seems more people have trouble with 4 year then peg

cuz they forget about the economy of conquest

[winged field]

Bet that one guy who played australia just though he was playing austria but missread🇦🇺 🔥

[heavy vigil]

yes because they make civs

theyd also lose with peg

[sudden thistle]

By getting 50k guns in the fielded army…

[shell sorrel]

This seems incredibly self explanatory

[shell sorrel]

Isn’t PEG only the play for slow games where you’re doing something specific goal-wise that isn’t conducive to early war

[heavy vigil]

no

you dont magically lose mils or mil output

[shell sorrel]

Even then I guess mefo could work in most cases

[cursive oxide]

How ?

[winged field]

Wdym how? Just naval invade them

Get their cities to cut their supplies

[cursive oxide]

How I don't get a navy

As German empire

I can't paradrop the French

So can't get there Navy

[winged field]

Build your navy then

Ain't that complicated tbh

[cursive oxide]

If you get a justify on French then civiel do I keep the war goal going!

[sudden thistle]

People don’t like working for stuff in this game

[winged field]

Rip

[cursive oxide]

Dose this work ?

[lost dawn]

Some people perhaps

I find "working for it" to be the only reason to keep returning to this game.

It's no fun unless it's a challenge.

[coarse fable]

quick question

is it better to have no air at all or put like 5 to 10 factories on air on let's say a nation with 100 mils

personally i find little use to it considering my air gets decimated if i dont use my 3 painful research slots to get the air tech needde

[lost dawn]

It is also why I do not plan on doing a world conquest again anytime soon.

[winged field]

there is your answer

[lost dawn]

At a certain point... you've defeated the Soviets, crushed the allies and smashed Japan.... there's nothing worth doing anymore

[winged field]

world connquest as luxemburg :>

[lost dawn]

Even then you run into the same issue

You've defeated the soviets

and all the other nations that could even stand a chance

[winged field]

ig you could minmax casualty ratio

thats what I like to do

[lost dawn]

I am happy with the world conquest that I did yesterday....

And I do not need another.

[misty fossil]

real

[lilac ginkgo]

yeah?

[misty fossil]

no i mean, whatever

im not a minimod

[shell sorrel]

If you have 100 mils why are you only putting 5-10 on air

Where are the other 90 lol

[misty fossil]

on artillery duh

hes doing artillery only

[lilac ginkgo]

guns(ofcourse)

[coarse fable]

because opponents get 30% buff on defense

[misty fossil]

i would put 40 mils

calling air important would be a gross UNDERSTATEMENT

[shell sorrel]

🤔

[misty fossil]

air to any hoi game is like blood to your body

[lilac ginkgo]

I usually have 1 mil on airplanes

and i dont use them

[misty fossil]

have you ever lived without blood

[lilac ginkgo]

yeah when I wasnt born

[misty fossil]

we should make a noob player slander video

[lilac ginkgo]

im not a noob but the airforce is useless in hoi4

[misty fossil]

like

[coarse fable]

this is the kind of stuff i have to deal with
buffed german empire to 30% with meta templates mod, and 3 majors against me with no trade possible?

it's just really hard to push them past a certain point because i get logi bombed to hell and they get 3k defense on their tanks meanwhile my heavies can only top like 1.5k soft

they had like 3k planes in the benelux

[misty fossil]

https://tenor.com/view/ricolino-scolari-gif-25352670

send it to bittersteel

[lilac ginkgo]

I personally never use the airforce

[misty fossil]

actually you seem to know what ur doing

[lilac ginkgo]

Because I dont have the dlcs

[misty fossil]

who am i to say anything

[coarse fable]

dw abt that

lololol

[lapis onyx]

I honestly hope they give qing china a ai modifier and the rest of the chinese states something like desire to unite chinese cores

[lapis onyx]

Jesus christ

[coarse fable]

my tank design is terribly mid i couldnt even research mech let alone afford to produce it

i only switched to medium howi 2 late game and didnt even go improved heavy tanks because i couldnt afford to lose a single one

[lost dawn]

Remove a few heavy tanks and use self propelled artillery

You want to be bombing your enemies into the ground with precision strikes

[coarse fable]

maybe that would've worked early game

but they got their armor up when i started pushing benelux so that would've been mild

they had like 1.2k factories combined vs my 256

[icy heart]

omg

[misty fossil]

how many research slot

[lost dawn]

During my only world conquest I used this and it worked like a charm

[vital cove]

don't use heavies in sp like basically ever
don't yse motorized, use mech, if you don't have mech use camels or cav or even infantry

[misty fossil]

what meta ai mod are you using

[lost dawn]

well... replacing that single light tank with another medium tank would be good

[coarse fable]

3, i played modded france so i could get like 5 but at the cost of like a terrible amount of focuses

[misty fossil]

i see

[vital cove]

just use full spgs

no reason to use mediums

[lost dawn]

I prefer some real mediums

[vital cove]

what for

[coarse fable]

what about the breaktrough?

[vital cove]

also please use your support companies slots

[lost dawn]

For the same reason that I also invest a lot of guns and manpower into real garrison units for airfield, supply depots and cities

[coarse fable]

yea this works but only against infantry

[vital cove]

its whatever. you have enough anyways

the ai doesn't have that high atk

having more soft atk is more important than more breakthrough

[vital cove]

the ai basically only does infantry

their tanks are worthless

[lost dawn]

I did build some decent tank destroyers to go along side them but never got around to actually putting them in a template

[vital cove]

both the tank design and divisions design are terrible

[coarse fable]

oh yea i forgot to tell i'm using a mod that makes ai do basically not meta divisions but decentish ones

[vital cove]

which mos

mod

[lost dawn]

I never really know what to use for support companies

[vital cove]

field hospital, logistics, flame tanks, light tank recon, assault engineers

[coarse fable]

its whatever i won anyway in the end but i'm planning on buffing them more next time

[lost dawn]

I also like using 9,1s for my inf.

Even though people often tell me that specific combination isn't that great

I find it quite a nice template.

add some engineers and support anti air...

and you've got yourself a division to win you any war

[lapis onyx]

Quick question

I just noticed qing china has the akagi somehow

H o w

I dont have by blood alone

[unkempt sun]

whats the division design ur using

I invaded belguim as german empire once and it instantly capilulated even tho they had more divs in the borders its prob cus of the design

and do u have good supplies?

[manic iris]

guys, whats the chance as fascist uk i can inv usa in my faction

[cursive oxide]

If you have the same enemy you can

1936 btw

[misty fossil]

not as important as soft/hard attack

[solid prairie]

someone wanna play?

[misty fossil]

my sheep ai build @coarse fable

replaced the last two mech with towed aa once allies lost the air war

playing as canada

it mowed EVERYTHING down

too bad allied ai wasnt good enough against gbp ger, so we lost

[opaque kayak]

how can i opress minorities, like the lessen rebellion thing in places i have under my control?

[misty fossil]

moustache man bubble speech

[winged field]

Have enough garrison equipment at first and additionally you can put spies there to oppress them even further

[manic iris]

how do i make usa join the damn war

[wide osprey]

bomb the pearl harbor

by yourself

and blame japanese

[manic iris]

ARRGHH im getting cooked how do i make usa declare war on germany

[dry sleet]

How the f. are you supposed to deal with +100% resistance target and -100% compliance growth?

[lost dawn]

How many times are these people going to declare war on one another

I've seen like 5 war declarations so far

One playthrough mind you

[wide osprey]

1. don't play poorly made mods with no balance and no logic behind anything

(no offense)

[spring monolith]

Are these enough divs to take the Soviet Union or do I need more (currently training 26 divs each time*

And I’m building a super naval carrier

I like to call it that cuz it sounds tuff

[wide osprey]

120 divs? That less than germans historically had 😭

[spring monolith]

Oh so is that good or bad

Most of it are infantry and truck divs and a custom template I made

[wide osprey]

depends on your templates and air strength

if all of these are default infantry divs - that's baaaad

[spring monolith]

No no not default

But there is a lot of defaults other than that it’s a custom armor division and custom truck division

I’d say like 60% is default which is still a lot

[wide osprey]

gonna be honest with you

😔

you are about to lose

[manic iris]

ok genuenly what do i even dio

[spring monolith]

Should I add something to those default divs like artillery

I gave them field hospitals and artillery

And mp

[opaque kayak]

Thank you for your advice 👍

[willow gull]

3x3 infantry, SA, AA & shovels

[spring monolith]

Done

Thank you

[willow gull]

your air superiority is important too against the germans

[shell sorrel]

Isn’t that literally the default template except with AA added

For Germany

[willow gull]

probably

yes

[grim plover]

Hello comrades

[shell sorrel]

Do you have actual good offensive divs

[feral coral]

Whats the best ottoman minority focus tree in gwr

[willow gull]

i’d switch out SA with logistics company but that’s just me

[shell sorrel]

aren’t armored engineers not very good for an offensive div or am I thinking of the wrong one

Don’t those mostly just give entrenchment

[feral coral]

can someone send great war redux server nvite link

[dry sleet]

This is vanilla

[toxic cypress]

still want to?

[fickle thicket]

goated disaster save

[pearl chasm]

win

[snow rain]

you don't need hard atk in singleplayer

[misty fossil]

i know

its a bit funny to me though

[lapis onyx]

I dont need a whole ton of org for a light tank div whose purpose is just to secure encirclements right?

Cus rn my lights outspeed my trucks

[snow rain]

30 org is the base you want on any attacking div

SF can get up to 90

[lapis onyx]

I dont know how ill keep my tanks speed and get more org.

Also quicj question about the new doctrines

[lost dawn]

Never seen a name do this

[lapis onyx]

If i swap from another sub doctrine to a new one

Will i keep the bonuses?

[lost dawn]

You'd think it would just be one larger name but thinner

[lapis onyx]

At least partially?

[next yew]

what does this mean ?

[lapis onyx]

I cant even see it my man

[next yew]

it is in the middle

[lapis onyx]

Like the image is so pixelated

I cant tell

[next yew]

"UNITS organisation is to low to advance"

[next yew]

it is ? it is very clear for me

[next yew]

well what it says is "UNITS organisation is to low to advance"

[mental mantle]

Zoom in dude

[mental mantle]

You gotta let them rest and regroup a bit

[lapis onyx]

I was

[next yew]

how do i do that

[mental mantle]

Just let them be chilling on that tile, don’t make them attack or advance

[lapis onyx]

What it looked like to me

[next yew]

that i have done for the last 15 minutes

[next yew]

well that is confusing

[lapis onyx]

Pull them back

[mental mantle]

They have low supply

[lapis onyx]

Do as the romans do

When the front bois get tuired

[jolly escarp]

bro-

[lapis onyx]

Of swinging

Bring the bois in the back who are still fresh and eager

[sudden thistle]

U are battleplanning

And ur battleplanning method is cautiously advancing

It should be 1 “>”

And since low supply they don’t push

Or sometimes don’t even go on the frontline

[next yew]

how can i correct that ?

[sudden thistle]

Switch it to normal or aggressive

[spring monolith]

Yes I’m getting most of Europe and about to send paratroopers to England

I tried taking on the British navy but

Let’s js say we tied

[lapis onyx]

You mean spear head?

[cursive oxide]

tf

[lapis onyx]

Also something that im surprised and im unsure if its a thing in later dlcs

But its the m22 locus

It was made to be paradropped with troops but was scrapped once we had air superiority

That and there was the expenses of having to train paratroopers how to use the tank

There are some hilarious accounts

[sudden thistle]

No

[lusty shuttle]

guys why does nobody attend my heraklion convention?

i ve tried 3 times and in 2 out of those 3 times nobody attended

[shell sorrel]

Friendless

[pine shale]

is this game boring quickly without dlc

[winged field]

did you accept EEE at any point?

thats why

[opal nymph]

You collaborated with the fascists and Britain and France doesn't like that

But you can form byzantium

[molten forge]

if i wanna try my first world conquest what nation should i do?

[opal nymph]

What dlc do you have

If none, Germany

[molten forge]

bosphorus and le resistance

[opal nymph]

Wait, dlc doesn't matter anymore with this

Fascist UK

[pine shale]

what do i do when i run out of orginization

[opal nymph]

Just do the civil war and when you are about to win, declare war on the dominions

Then you get them in the peace deal

[molten forge]

can i ask for anything else ?

[opal nymph]

Germany

Historical

[molten forge]

got it

[opal nymph]

Soviets historical

[molten forge]

and thats it or?

i guess germany it is

[molten forge]

Isnt plan Z better than trade interdiction?

and prioritise eco growth better than 4 year plan

[pine shale]

please delete navy from this game

i hate it

[vernal beacon]

why does it not gain superiority

[dusky burrow]

"no accessible regions" somehow?

[vernal beacon]

i dont get why tho

[dusky burrow]

also you should stop battleplanning

just redo your order

[vernal beacon]

battleplanning?

you mean my army?

or what

[dusky burrow]

yeah your armies

[pine shale]

how do i get this mefo thing

[winged field]

just cancel mefo bills

in political decisions menu

[pine shale]

there is no mefo anything

[strong raptor]

do it earlier in the game

[winged field]

You need to wait like 3 months to lose that spirit

[pine shale]

ok

[winged field]

after getting peg

[winged field]

if you hover your mouse over that spirit it should say how long it lasts

[shell sorrel]

Make it only navy actually please

[vernal beacon]

how do i fix the navy thing tho

[pine shale]

i hate navy bro

[dusky burrow]

i wonder what happens when you delete your order and then re-assign it

[pine shale]

does ther exist a mod that simplifies navy

[vernal beacon]

they all say this

exept one submarine division

[pine shale]

this gonna take forever i guess its better to just justify manually?

[dusky burrow]

you'd probably get there faster than you think

[pine shale]

i only have 427k manupower in field

need 700k

thats gonna take a long time @dusky burrow

[vernal beacon]

okas just ignore bruh

why does nobody know about navy

[pine shale]

navy sucks

[vernal beacon]

i just wanna invade thats the thing

and nobody can help with this kind of stuff

[pine shale]

im not gonna have it by 1939

[lilac ginkgo]

How

???

its impossible not to get it bro

its easy enough that you can get it by late 37

[pine shale]

look at my manpower in field

[lilac ginkgo]

yeah so deploy units

[pine shale]

they need to be lvl up

[lilac ginkgo]

you can deploy like 30 at once

doesnt matter if they re trained or not

you re only training like 5 at once which is nowhere enough

[pine shale]

what do you mean re trained

[lilac ginkgo]

they're

they're trained

not they retained

[fair compass]

any RT56 players here, is this guy like an actual Native leader for Mozambique, or why does Mozambique have this guy unlike a generic?

[pine shale]

?????????????????????

if u deploy too early they wont be fully trained

[lilac ginkgo]

Thats not your problem

Your problem is that you arent training enough of them

[pine shale]

i put many

[lilac ginkgo]

if you were to get 30 divs out PER YEAR(which is hella easy) you would've been long done

[lilac ginkgo]

what does your production look like

[prisma steppe]

Pinnacle of Allied Ai

[fair compass]

not even the anschluss or sudeten yet..?

😭

[lilac ginkgo]

how did this happen

[pine shale]

bro i am new

[lilac ginkgo]

I usually get Austria in 1937 and I can still do sudeten but I dont rush it

[fair compass]

have you done

[pine shale]

bro i play this game for 10 hours

[fair compass]

"Anschluss"?

[lilac ginkgo]

he doesn't have enough divisions

[pine shale]

i just didi t

[fair compass]

im pretty sure THIS IS ENOUGH

[lilac ginkgo]

Well you seem to do well

[fair compass]

like

thats like

4x over the limit

[lavish forge]

sa

nabıyonuz

[pine shale]

i played this game for 30 hours also like 5 years ago but i dont rmeember anything

[fair compass]

i dont know a single germany who cant anschluss austria with 79 divs

[lilac ginkgo]

He had less when he first showed me

[lilac ginkgo]

yea well you still know something considering ur new

Which is good

You'll learn it all over time

[prisma steppe]

its only '41 btw

[patent thistle]

since modders still do not understand the diffrence of a heavy cruiser and a light cruiser, guess who now has 10 heavy cruisers as early 1931 germany (soon)

[fair compass]

did bro puppet ALL OF EUROPE?

gahdamn

[prisma steppe]

maybe

[fair compass]

👀

[fair compass]

im shooting myself in the foot by playing serbia in RT56..

[lilac ginkgo]

Why

[fair compass]

i start off with uhh

no army equipment at all 👀

nor guns

so im just

[lilac ginkgo]

so build up

[fair compass]

china but european, i got the men but not the equipment

[lilac ginkgo]

china has 200x more people

[vernal beacon]

please tell me how i get my navy to work

[fair compass]

however

my leader is kinda goated

[lilac ginkgo]

and 80x more divisions

[fair compass]

i did a silly and now hes goated,,

[prisma steppe]

i love modded

[lilac ginkgo]

Is there a focustree

Probably not

[fair compass]

yes however its im pretty sure generic

[lilac ginkgo]

Yeah

it is

[lilac ginkgo]

It isn't

[fair compass]

its a small focus tree

[lilac ginkgo]

Its different from the generic one

[fair compass]

but im pretty sure if i regain yugoslav lands ill get the yugoslav tree? i have no idea ill have to mabye ask an RT56 dev about that..

[lilac ginkgo]

no you dont

focus trees never change in rt56 unless you re china or something

[fair compass]

damn

[lilac ginkgo]

not even china I dont think

Cuz the warlords get a better tree if they become an opposition government in vanilla

[lapis onyx]

Im kinda surprised no ones made a custom scenario mod thats just teaching you various mechanics

[lilac ginkgo]

Wouldn't be that popular

[fair compass]

soo a mod just remaking the tutorial wont be popular?

[lilac ginkgo]

no

no ones gonna use it

[fair compass]

i mean i might-

[lilac ginkgo]

theres not that many new players that even get into mods instantly so they wont know about it

and then it becomes useless for anyone that knows the game

YouTube tutorials are more popular

personally I didnt use any tutorials I just learnt over time

[opal nymph]

Honestly, the tutorial isn't the worst if you dont have BBA

It tells you what buttons do

[fair compass]

mm good europe,,,

[opal nymph]

Mega-Moldova

Also where is the Rhine state

And Wales

[fair compass]

with this man as the leader

[fair compass]

wales got uhh

eaten up by the uhh fallen parliament UK

scotland is being invaded right now

and the rhine doesnt appear in RT56 unless u release it manually?

idk

[opal nymph]

Wait, this is r56?

[fair compass]

yes 👀

[opal nymph]

Vanilla has that one rhinestone state

Rhineish

[wide osprey]

https://tenor.com/view/reaction-shocked-ariana-grande-ariana-wicked-gif-9352977018792188008

[fair compass]

yeah but for some reason it does NOT form in RT56 if you fragment germany into german kingdoms

[pine shale]

bro i am losing 💀

[wide osprey]

good compared to what

[opal nymph]

Well, German kingdoms i suppose

[fair compass]

are you trying to

[opal nymph]

I thought you just released every possible tag

[fair compass]

PUSH into the maginot line

[pine shale]

no

[fair compass]

it looks like you

are

[pine shale]

??

[fair compass]

what are you doing here

[prisma steppe]

how is serbia still kicking

[fair compass]

what is this

[opal nymph]

Local man forgets to garrison east prussia

[fair compass]

also get air support for crying out loud 😭 🙏

[pine shale]

bro it gets so overwhelming this game

[prisma steppe]

no

[barren drum]

You’re attacking maginot

[prisma steppe]

gobble gobble all that xp

[pine shale]

yeah bro im cookoed

[pine shale]

wtf is maginot

[barren drum]

Fortress, a hell of fortress

[opal nymph]

Okay, how much knowledge do you have in ww2 history

[pine shale]

id

[fair compass]

its the thing ur attacking in france right now

[pine shale]

can somee1 just tell me what to do

[fair compass]

thats why its all red

[wide osprey]

https://tenor.com/view/an-iq-too-high-raven-crow-tiktok-gif-3869671553367641450

[fair compass]

ur attacking a large wall of forts

[barren drum]

Go around

[pine shale]

what about poland

[barren drum]

It’s called impenetrable for a reason

[opal nymph]

Watch a ww2 documentary.

Do the stuff that works, dont do the stuff that didn't work

[fair compass]

poland, you need air support and to just idk manually move troops into weak areas

instead of letting generals do it as the ai

can be shit at times

and ruin your frontlines so they end up looking like swiss cheese

[opal nymph]

The way to win battles is to have air support

Very nice

[pine shale]

bro this is so confusing

[opal nymph]

If you win the air war, you win the war

[opal nymph]

Define the confusing part

Saying everything doesn't help btw

[sage tiger]

First time playing?

[pine shale]

idk what to do

[pine shale]

germany yes

[fair compass]

it will get easier the more you try

[barren drum]

It’s HOI, it’s meant to be somewhat strategical

[opal nymph]

Okay, so you are playing Germany.

Germany wants to invade everyone

Your goal is to get control of continental europe

[barren drum]

Maybe #ask-for-help-here is a better place now?

[opal nymph]

Fully capitulating allies is optional

[pine shale]

yes bro i know germany goes pew pew pew kill the people then invade the soviets, the americans come brrrrrrrrrrrrrr everyone dies and germany capitulates

[opal nymph]

You want to make a good amount of infantry and a large amount of fighters and close air support planes

[fair compass]

-# division templates matter as well 👀

i think

[opal nymph]

You want to attack with tank divisions, preferably with medium tanks

I use large tank divisions where I dont have many, but they do a lot of damage

Also tanks suck if they do not have infantry support. You should use motorized or mechanized battalions with tank battalions in your divisions

[prisma steppe]

nuh uh

[opal nymph]

You made a good amount of infantry technically

So you agreed with me

[dusky burrow]

2-widths have their issues

[prisma steppe]

we building a wall out of bodies like the spartans

[dusky burrow]

overstacking penalty will be heavy with them

[pine shale]

bro this game is so hard

[dusky burrow]

they obviously lack defense and breakthrough

[opal nymph]

It is, but learn from your mistakes

[dusky burrow]

and they have low hp for their org, which means they will get depleted rapidly

[prisma steppe]

browski never heard of deo-org charge

[dusky burrow]

yeah i haven't

[prisma steppe]

they die, get replaced

repeat repeat repeat

[opal nymph]

In your case, it seems to be that you kept attacking when your troops are exhausted, you didn't have air support, and you didn't have dedicated offensive divisions

[pine shale]

when i watch isorrow productions it looks fun but then i play and just die

[opal nymph]

Well, he has thousands of hours

You probably have tens

[soft marsh]

i wonder i cant push swizterland

[pine shale]

still i cant win anything

[opal nymph]

Have you played the tutorial

[pine shale]

yes

[opal nymph]

So you defeated Ethiopia

So you won something

[winged field]

@dusky burrow do you have any reinforce meme templates :>?
