[prisma steppe]

this is the highest medal of honor a 2 width supremacist can achieve

we scraping the barrel as the ccp with this one

[dusky burrow]

what do you mean by reinforce meme templates

do you want to reinforce meme or are you getting reinforce memed

[winged field]

I want to. Something like old mass mob R.

[opal nymph]

How to get reinforced memed. 50 width divisions, no signals

Don't make air either

[dusky burrow]

yeah that's how you get reinforce memed

[prisma steppe]

or enemy has lots higher initiative

[pine shale]

how do ur brain not melt playing this game ?

[opal nymph]

We get used to it

And autopilot some things

If you need to, play 3 speed

[prisma steppe]

you lose brain cells til it works

[winged field]

Cheap cooling system for your head works

[opal nymph]

Have you turned on "auto pause on events"

That is very nice to have on

[fair compass]

big serbia,,

[dusky burrow]

honestly doesn't reallye xist, you just have to build 10/0 mountaineers or 21/0 mountaineers with signals

[winged field]

I usually drink at least 2 liters of distilled water

[prisma steppe]

now thou need to annex albania

[winged field]

Alr bet

[opal nymph]

Do you think i could make a YouTube series on coaching people hoi4

[prisma steppe]

@safe wing bania are thee there?

[pine shale]

but during war u have to balance doig the combat stuff and the research stuff, and like 5 billion other pop ups

[fair compass]

i am NOT dealing with king zog while being garuantee'd by communist italy

[safe wing]

Now is not a good time

[opal nymph]

Pause the game

[safe wing]

I’m at work

[opal nymph]

Then do stuff

[pine shale]

its jst kinda annoying

[prisma steppe]

lies

[dusky burrow]

and then your doctrines would be something like irregulars / siege artillery / armored infantry support / deep battle

[safe wing]

My job is increasing production efficiency for my company in hoi4 terms

[opal nymph]

example

[cold mist]

the reason turkey joined ww2 late is because they finished their 70 day focuses

[opal nymph]

War winning decision as well. Germany shortly surrendered after they joined

[cold mist]

no its only because 70 day focuses trust👍

[lilac ginkgo]

No its normal

Your game always lags like hell when the american civilwar starts

[ivory hull]

hoi4 isnt a gpu intensive game too

[lilac ginkgo]

exactly why your cpu explodes when 50 countries spawn all at once and invade eachother

[spring monolith]

If I buy a dlc can my friends use it when I host a lobby

[lilac ginkgo]

Yea

[spring monolith]

Larping cuz you have a job and playing hoi4

[spring monolith]

Thank you

[lilac ginkgo]

The host needs the dlc and everyone else gets it

[spring monolith]

Which dlc do u think is good for my friends and I to have fun with

[lilac ginkgo]

Honestly one dlc isnt enough

[spring monolith]

Cuz we keep shooting rockets at eachother like israel and Iran its annoying

[lilac ginkgo]

But maybe the German one

[spring monolith]

There’s a German dlc

?

[lilac ginkgo]

I dont know how its spelled wait

[spring monolith]

Alr

[lilac ginkgo]

Up close with my navy ships

[lilac ginkgo]

You cant get really really close but its something

[spring monolith]

Do I need a mod to get this close for example

[lilac ginkgo]

How close

[spring monolith]

I keep seeing the dlcs use close images I wanna know how cuz it looks cool

[lilac ginkgo]

Try it ingame because im not sure how close you can get

[spring monolith]

Alright thank you

[grave sonnet]

Ic

[molten forge]

also @grave sonnet forgot to conquer baltics

[vernal beacon]

i had to hog france,russian empire,britain,germany and italy at once

[sudden thistle]

Bro rlly thought we wouldn’t notice the Sudetenland

[molten forge]

am thinking what to use for world conquest besides Germany USSR or Britain

[vernal beacon]

they were all in the streta front or what its called

[sudden thistle]

Britain is easiest

[molten forge]

besides those 3

[sudden thistle]

I misread that mb

Any other major basically

[vernal beacon]

i almost lost at the end to right when i landed in britain i lost half my divisions i sent

[molten forge]

do you think mussolini can do a world conquest

[sudden thistle]

Yeah

Do Rome

[molten forge]

ngl

should i use 36 width infantry

or focus on medium tanks more

[sudden thistle]

Armored cars

[molten forge]

What

Like motorised with tanks

[sudden thistle]

armored cars!

[molten forge]

Ye but still cant you talk with me in dms

[lilac ginkgo]

I could if you need help

[north merlin]

what do y'all think of this armor template?

[halcyon violet]

Yes mp help

[storm thunder]

is this cursed

[halcyon violet]

Good if you have the eq for it

[north merlin]

uhhh yeah i would say so

but should i increase the combat width? or is 40 the perfect amount?

[barren drum]

Do Trotsky path and partition the Soviet Union into separate republics

[storm thunder]

lol

[grave sonnet]

Turn it to 36 width and you are done

But yeah

Overall

Perfect

https://tenor.com/view/theboys-perfect-gif-23821319

[north merlin]

why 36

?

[grave sonnet]

Best Width For attacking divisions

[north merlin]

oh, ok

so do i remove mech or medium?

[grave sonnet]

Mech so you don't lose alot of soft atc

[north merlin]

oh, ok

[fickle thicket]

tank design?

[north merlin]

im still in 43 btw

[royal marten]

Does annexing the RAJ as the East India Company give you their offmap factories?

[fickle thicket]

[north merlin]

i lover germany's industry lmao

[fickle thicket]

the reichs industry is massive

[fickle thicket]

https://giphy.com/gifs/yJFeycRK2DB4c

[north merlin]

didn't rlly bother to build anything besides airfields and radar and missile silos after 41

[fickle thicket]

i assumed u rushed allied cap

[north merlin]

yes i got them done by dec 40

and then america by like march of 41 and then ussr by late 41

[fickle thicket]

nice

[north merlin]

and then japan war me for somereason and i js took care of that and now im bored lmao

[jade parcel]

if i change something in a tank does it also change the tanks in the production line

[fickle thicket]

no but when u put the new tank in production it changes the production efficiency

[jade parcel]

ok

[dusky burrow]

it's 40 width

[north merlin]

40 width bad?

[dusky burrow]

yeah

40 width is perhaps the worst combat width in the game

ideally you should be less than 40

anything between 35 and 39.8 isn't bad

[north merlin]

oh, ok

[brittle cypress]

why not riveted

[north merlin]

uhh idk

i went with feeling with this design

[bronze glade]

ahh "historical" germany

[woven gate]

the fire is rising

now allies didn't guarantee poland 🥀

[fickle thicket]

censor the swastikas

they dont like that symbol being here

[frank abyss]

oh shii

ok

[fickle thicket]

w encirclement tho

[frank abyss]

thanks what would you rate it 1-10

[fickle thicket]

6

[frank abyss]

why so low):

[fickle thicket]

cuz

isnt the biggest ive seen

[frank abyss]

its brilliant yeah i am glazing myself a bit

Well no i like this encirclement alot cuz of the context

you want to know it

[fickle thicket]

its dunkirk we know

[frank abyss]

Yeah but the context goes deeper than that: Basically it all started when i was attacking Nethlerlands and they had stacked like 30 divisions into netherlands which were entrenched so i with the advise of erich von manstein went around it with my armored divisions through the ardennes and sucessfully trapped all of those bastards there capitulated france then finished off the belgians and the netherlands. And keep in mind 1941 this was not really easy to pull off absoloute cinema

thats what makes it so great

[fickle thicket]

so early 41 when the americans are about to join the war is good for u?

[frank abyss]

and keep in mind it was ardennes low supply horrible well no i quit the campaign afther i stalled against soviets

But this was the most fun i had in a while

[fickle thicket]

why were u barbing at the same time

[frank abyss]

wdym

[fickle thicket]

u said u stalled against the soviets just after the campaign

[frank abyss]

Yeah

[fickle thicket]

why did u declare barb tho

[frank abyss]

Afther i got over with france and failed to invade uk

Ohh

cuz i had nothing else to do and needed to to archieve autarky

it was so or so failed i just did barb for the sake of doing it

[fickle thicket]

also why do u have 2k pp

[frank abyss]

I dont micromanage anymore as soon as the war starts and i alr had all of the advisors minister and high command all of that so no need really to spend more

i get into flow state

[fickle thicket]

dont make sense unless u used console commands or didnt do any focuses

[frank abyss]

No cuz as u can see its ironman i coudnt have done it

also i used hermann göring to give me extra 15 percent at the start of the game

and the führerprinzip

[fickle thicket]

never go goring

[frank abyss]

Its good for the first pick

for extra pp

[fickle thicket]

just go speer

todt*

then speer

[frank abyss]

what i like to do is göring speer and then goebbels

Todt is not that good

cuz early he only gives civ boost

and takes a while since he gets to mil factory boost and göring and speer though give immediate bonuses

and goebbels for sta

stability and party popularity

[dusky burrow]

yeah

[dusky burrow]

not everyday you see this tbh

your priority should be getting supply and taking paris

which should be simple

[frank abyss]

I mean it was my previous campaign i already ended it

I capitulated france and all of that though

[sudden thistle]

hello my fealls

how we doing

[safe wing]

good did you see the Hoi4 meme

[sudden thistle]

no

[safe wing]

Hoi4 budget edition

[sudden thistle]

oh that

yeah

[fickle thicket]

would be fire if the menus were like this

[cobalt dawn]

guys

what is the purpose of heavy tanks?

[restive sable]

top 3 videos oat

[upbeat tundra]

guys how do u lower autonomy

[viscid mason]

give your puppet a lend lease + build on their territory. Once it's lowered enough have enough pp to do the action.

[fair horizon]

wheres the navy part?

finland has like 2 cruisers or some crap

[unreal mica]

Guys why is it that every single time

[unreal mica]

I play hoi4 late game

Get fighter III s

Upgrade their weapons speed and engine to lvl 5

And i still lose planes

Why

Why does this happen am i doing something wrong

I have oil

[dusky burrow]

compared to how many planes does the ai lose?

even with the best planes the ratio could be 1:80 or something

even though you kill like 80 of the enemy's planes, you still lose some of your own

and it's probably not 1:80 without by blood alone

[upbeat tundra]

"we can still win this"

[thorn pelican]

[unreal mica]

They outright kill more of my planes than they lose

I’m talking lategame 1948

No jet aircraft

And I’m trading 80:50 I’m losing 80 they’re losing 50

[upbeat tundra]

https://www.youtube.com/shorts/1EgXkH-TifI

[thorn pelican]

So I’ve started a game as Italy, really wanted to play them for a while now

Does anyone have any useful tips for playing Italy?

[quartz loom]

yo i have no idea what im doing lowkey but this game is peak

[thorn pelican]

Welcome to the community

Just got the game recently?

[quartz loom]

i played a few years ago but didnt really know what to do, forgot basically everything i did know

[thorn pelican]

fair enough

I’ve had the game since launch and still don’t understand a lot lol

Trying to learn how to play majors and do multiple things at once (army air and navy)

[quartz loom]

yeah all i remember is i tried playing germany a couple of times and got ran over by poland so, surely something was not done properly 😭

[thorn pelican]

happens lmao

[slim idol]

Unfortunately, the average hours played until you get good at the game is 1000

[thorn pelican]

I’m just about to hit 1000 hours lol

Wouldn’t call myself good but I’m getting there

[slim idol]

I'm around 700-800 at the moment

[quartz loom]

fortunately i work part time and have nothing better to do than grind

[slim idol]

I'm ok

[thorn pelican]

but do u know how to do navy

that thing scares me

[slim idol]

Said like a true degenerate

I'm proud

[dusk heart]

Just reached my 1500th hour in the game and yet I still feel like I don’t know anything

[slim idol]

I don't understand it but I just spam destroyers, subs, and cruisers

And it sorta works

[thorn pelican]

relatable

Yeah that’s why I’m playing Italy to try and get me out of my comfort zone

I also want to Ducemaxx

[slim idol]

If I took the time to actually learn meta, than I'd be good

I've got the mechanics down though

[dusk heart]

Peak

[quartz loom]

i do remember just spamming the hell out of the close quarter fighter planes

[dusk heart]

Play USA and do Strat bomber spam

Works every time

[quartz loom]

usa scares me, looks hard

[opal nymph]

USA is chill

[quartz loom]

anything that relies on ships looks scary, i am not touching japan or uk

[opal nymph]

You build up

[slim idol]

Js do USA and get icbms by 1942

[dusk heart]

Just let the ussr and Britian kill the axis and Strat bomber

[opal nymph]

Then in 1941, you vaporize everything

[thorn pelican]

Ducemaxxing

[dusk heart]

🤑

[quartz loom]

i enjoy fighting and taking territory tho, so a country in europe seems more fun

[opal nymph]

Done this before, quite fun

[dusk heart]

Are you incompetent like the Italian ai tho

That is the question

[thorn pelican]

Yeah probably

[slim idol]

Wdym ai? They were the same irl

[dusk heart]

You can’t truly duce max if your not incompetent

[thorn pelican]

The only major I’ve ever played is the USSR

Where I could totally ignore the navy lmao

[slim idol]

That's brutal

[thorn pelican]

wdym why

[dusk heart]

First time I played ussr I decided I wanted to do quality over quantity and deleted all my divisions

[slim idol]

That's like one of the only hard majors

[dusk heart]

I only had a 100 divisions by Barbarossa and died

[slim idol]

Relatively hard

[quartz loom]

yeah if i play italy its just roleplay so

[thorn pelican]

You only really have one front to worry about lol

[dusk heart]

Watch out for Britian naval spam from Malta

And Egypt

[slim idol]

And that front is with the Germans that have a billion bonuses

[thorn pelican]

I can already hear the naval invasion sound

[dusk heart]

https://tenor.com/view/hoi4-hearts-of-iron-4-hearts-of-iron-iv-mussolini-benito-mussolini-gif-16023815362595618354

Js take Leningrad instead of sieging it

[thorn pelican]

https://tenor.com/view/muye-benito-mussolini-duce-gif-22671105

[dusk heart]

Yes ofc

What if

I do a hungry play through

But I only do stratbomber spam 🤑

[slim idol]

You could get burger land to satisfy that hungry

[dusky burrow]

can you get jet aircraft?

[dusk heart]

https://tenor.com/view/hoi4-leader-meme-angetreten-gif-4294715270744901997

[thorn pelican]

What about rushing mothership airplanes

[dusk heart]

Also good idea

Is the dlc worth the 300$

[quartz loom]

oh i wanted to restore the austira hungary empire but i kept failing and lowkey i mightve quit cause i was annoyed. i think like everytime i did something like 10 countries went to war w me

[thorn pelican]

Gotterdammerung is such a fun dlc

[dusky burrow]

if you need such a long range

then yeah

but mothership planes trade badly

[thorn pelican]

I’ve never tried them

Yet

[dusk heart]

Best one

[quartz loom]

are there any must have dlcs? theres like $200 worth of dlc its kinda ridiculous

this is what i have

[untold cove]

you can skip cosmetics dlcs if you dont care about them

no step back allows you to design your own tanks

[dusk heart]

Gottadamrubg I think is the most fun

But all of them I like tbh

https://tenor.com/view/the-hand-hoi4-hearts-of-iron-yugoslavia-gif-27522001

[untold cove]

yugoslavia jumpscare 😦

[dusk heart]

Tanna Tuva is more scary trust me on this

[dusky burrow]

in order of importance
no step back (you have this, most important for the tank designer)
by blood alone (for the airplane designer)
arms against tyranny (unlocks mios and special forces doctrines)
la resistance (unlocks intelligence agency) / gotterdammerung (unlocks some special projects) / no compromise no surrender (unlocks some good doctrines)
your favorite country pack
the finally any cosmetic / music packs

[quartz loom]

thats cool! just gotta figure out how to make a tank

[untold cove]

making a tank is quite easy

there are meta templates

[dusk heart]

There’s also other dlcs that let you make your own ship and planes

[dusk heart]

Super heavy tank as much armor and damage as possible 🤑

[untold cove]

my favorite country pack is battle for the bosphorus tbh

[dusk heart]

Pretty fun

[dusky burrow]

yeah making a tank is quite easy

[quartz loom]

ill probably get by blood alone for now then, i plan to play italy for awhile while learning so

seems good

[dusky burrow]

making airplanes is slightly harder

[dusk heart]

My first hoi4 match was straight ass tho

I played as Germany and got to 1939 I took Poland but failed to even break the French line so I called the Soviets

[dusky burrow]

because making airplanes involves a complicated interplay of stats and mios

[dusk heart]

And then the allies called the us and Japan

[quartz loom]

the french are lowkey goated idk how they got whooped irl, theyre moving like demons in this game

[dusk heart]

Ardennes forest strat 🤑

[untold cove]

i was so scared of wars in my first hoi4 match i just build factories and infastracture and state AA until 1949 😭 🙏

[dusk heart]

Son😭

[dusky burrow]

well you're in good company

[dusk heart]

What country were you

[quartz loom]

bro is a man of the people, W

[dusky burrow]

1940 people thought the same

[dusk heart]

Lmao I watched a bunch of bittersteel videos before I started playing so I thought I was good at the game

[untold cove]

i remember the first time i completed sea lion successfully

[low dock]

Did paradrop into france got nerfed?

[untold cove]

peak dopamine tbh

[low dock]

When i tried it it didn't work

4 times

[dusk heart]

Yea it is lmao only one second of naval supremacy

[low dock]

Wait yall can use navy?

[dusky burrow]

yeah bittersteel is okay at the game, very good at some parts like resource management (which is a lot of what he teaches you) but not necessarily on division design

[untold cove]

it takes a lot to learn and improvise

but yes

i can use navy

[low dock]

300 hours of playing the game

[untold cove]

(button clicking simulator)

[low dock]

11 achevment

Still dont know how to use navy

[dusky burrow]

Navy is basically the game of who has the larger navy and who has more oil

[dusk heart]

Yea he taught me how to build divisions and manage resources pretty nicely

[dusky burrow]

his divisions aren't that good tbh

[dusk heart]

Eh, were pretty decent for me at the time

[low dock]

What's yall division design?

[dusky burrow]

can get you most places if you have a good economy

[coral widget]

Yo im planning to buy sm dlcs cus i kinda like ts game what dlcs do yall recommend

[dusk heart]

Yea most of the time

[low dock]

No step back

20 battalions of line artillery

[dusky burrow]

you can do that without gotterdammerung too

[low dock]

9 division 1 shovel 1 support artillery is it good?

[dusky burrow]

no

[dusk heart]

Yea I know

Gottadamnrung just makes the game fun

[low dock]

Then how should I modify it?

[untold cove]

good for defense, mid for assault

[low dock]

I like playing tanu tuva

So I get attacked

Pretty often

It's deadlock between soviet kand mongolia

[thorn pelican]

https://tenor.com/view/hoi4-micromanage-gif-20717885

[low dock]

And axis dying

[coral widget]

Yes?

[untold cove]

bro put anyone but big h

[quartz loom]

theres coal now? the oil was confusing enough gg

[stoic pendant]

because kaiser is better

[untold cove]

i never tried non aligned germany

[stoic pendant]

bro 😭

[low dock]

Do yall ever did world conquest as tanu tuva?

[untold cove]

coal determines how effective your factories work

[dusk heart]

Coal was such an ass update bro

[coral widget]

5000yen for both is expensive

[stoic pendant]

true

[untold cove]

agreed

[dusk heart]

Geuinely it was fun having no cap on factory growth

[stoic pendant]

straight slop bro 😭

[low dock]

Wait for the sale

[coral widget]

Ima js maybe think abt getting no step back

[untold cove]

resource slop

[stoic pendant]

true

[quartz loom]

i see

[dusk heart]

I feel like resources in areas should grow more like irl

[low dock]

Wait for the discount

[stoic pendant]

dlc slop

[dusk heart]

Because people discover more

[coral widget]

Like summer sale? How much will it be?

[stoic pendant]

we need to make more dlcs

[low dock]

O got no step back for 9

[untold cove]

as close you get to world conquest, coal is never enough

[low dock]

Dollars

[untold cove]

i remember having -5000 coal

[quartz loom]

my already poor factory management is about to take a nose dive

[stoic pendant]

so we can give more money to paradox

[low dock]

It gets so much cheaper

[fair horizon]

They integrated the most important dlc (man the guns for naval designer)

forcing everyone to learn navy :)

[coral widget]

Holy that's like 3x cheaper

[low dock]

Yep

[stoic pendant]

"most important" NSB exists bro 😭

[dusk heart]

Navy i hate

[fair horizon]

unimportant

[low dock]

20-70% off

[stoic pendant]

bro 😭

[low dock]

Who uses navy?????

[untold cove]

me

[low dock]

That's like so gay

[untold cove]

navy can be really useful

[fair horizon]

me :)

navy is extremely useful and its funny when people say otherwise

[dusk heart]

Only Brits because they are chuds

[dusky burrow]

yeah there's quite a few uses to navy

[untold cove]

for example, as Turkey, you will eventually want to expand into balkans. without navy, you will bleed manpower and lose but naval invasions make it so much easier

[stoic pendant]

what is this bro 😭

[untold cove]

why two austrias

[dusk heart]

Son

[fair horizon]

hes right there should be 4 austrias

[untold cove]

does that mean we get two austrian painters

[low dock]

Average no historical

[untold cove]

evil austrian painter vs eviler austrian painter

[quartz loom]

for the skill tree, should i follow a set path online or just kinda do whatever feels right

[low dock]

Do yall play historical???

It's so boring ngl

Knowing what happens next

[fair horizon]

sometimes but mostly ahistorical

[dusky burrow]

skill tree? for generals?

[untold cove]

i mean focuses are kind of skill trees for countries

[stoic pendant]

bro 😭

[untold cove]

https://tenor.com/view/sonion-gif-1722807189204709072

[quartz loom]

focus tree mb

[untold cove]

there are optimal paths but you usually cant go wrong picking up one

they already list their effects

[dusky burrow]

it really depends on your nation

[dusky burrow]

RIP

[stoic pendant]

not sure why yugoslavia thought it was a good idea to do this

but its the ai

[winter fulcrum]

you just gotta steal steiner from germany

[untold cove]

my führer

steiner

[dusky burrow]

this actually spites quite a few players

[untold cove]

steiner could not attack

[dusky burrow]

who were seeking full annex

[untold cove]

he didnt have enough forces. the attack did not commence.

DAS WAR EIN BEFEHL

[quartz loom]

i just spent 10 minutes watching a tutorial on how to separates my submarines from my other ships

[spring relic]

hello i want to ask

[fair horizon]

thats easy though

[spring relic]

in the new dlc is war eco still worth it

coz i just see increase in coal usage so idk if its worth it

[quartz loom]

if you know what you’re doing sure, i messed it up like 3 times

[upbeat tundra]

i like how hoi4 makes steiner a 1-1-1-1 general

its funny

[stoic pendant]

good unit or no?

[stoic pendant]

same with himmler, i think its funny if you allow him to be a general, he just sucks

[fair horizon]

you can right click the ship type to split them

[quartz loom]

whats the advatange of splitting them, i would think having them all together is stronger

[dusky burrow]

it is

[echo barn]

this game is for actual losers man

[upbeat tundra]

the opposite of

[fair horizon]

more task forces for more stuff

[upbeat tundra]

so what else is new

[echo barn]

dooing montezuma's revennge in 2026 is legitimately impossible

[fair horizon]

so you can have 2 sets of 10 subs convoy raiding in 2 zones instead of 20 in 1 zone

[echo barn]

the us is far too buffed

aand you have to fight thhe stupid civil war in every run

[north merlin]

does anyone know how the paratrooper strategy works? i tried it with italy on france, they don't deploy all at once, they deploy like 2 at a time and all i can do i watch them get encircled and fall

[echo barn]

and, unless you pay for gd for 30 usd, germany always goes nazi, and ruins any alt hisst run

[upbeat tundra]

how? 1/2 the time or more they go for either Kaisserreich or zentrum

[echo barn]

paradox is a greedy, lazy company that hasn't put out anything good since nsb

[echo barn]

i don't have gd

[upbeat tundra]

neither do i?

it still occurs?

[echo barn]

it does not

[upbeat tundra]

its 1/2 the time

random chance

[echo barn]

how come i have tried mexico 10 times and germany has always gone nazi

anyway. paradox only makes actual doogshit now

ofc they coupled man the guns, tfv, wtt, etc. with the base game, w/o refund oor anything

now they have shit "country pack" foor like 8 usd

what a joke

go fk yourselbves paradoox

[upbeat tundra]

unlucky

[echo barn]

god bless the modders

love my modding friends

fk paradox

thunder at the gates is gonna floop too

just wait and see

[upbeat tundra]

have u tried into the orient?

[echo barn]

no, and i have no interest in thhe time period

but i can appreciate the work of the small team that went intoo it to make a free, enjoyable, fun mod for little fame

[split bane]

Also he has politically connected so he's worse than just a normal 1-1-1-1

[untold cove]

"siam focus tree" 😭 🙏

[echo barn]

siam over malaya bro

siam over ireland bro

siam over new uk or us bro

siam over anything good bro

[untold cove]

what the hell is new uk

[stoic pendant]

siam is either gonna be goated or pure ass

[untold cove]

oh you meant remastered

im still waiting for turkiye's focus tree update tbh

too much 70 days focuses

[stoic pendant]

add more

[untold cove]

maybe some more advantages to saadabat pact as well

[stoic pendant]

make the focus tree take until 1960 to do anything

[untold cove]

dont give em new ideas

[stoic pendant]

make it last untill the 2000s

[untold cove]

it literally takes a year to complete first 5 focuses

5x70= 350 days

[stoic pendant]

make it last forever

add decade long focuses for turkey

[untold cove]

140 day focuses introduced

first nation to get them is turkiye

[split bane]

Erm akshually the old Czechoslovak tree has a 140 day focus ☝️ 🤓

[untold cove]

it does?

i didnt know that

[upbeat tundra]

truly something for the mod to halve everything

guys why am i losing? should i make more inf?

[fair horizon]

not enough light cruisers

[untold cove]

https://tenor.com/view/riddler-paul-dano-new-rockstars-thumbnail-does-he-know-he-doesnt-know-gif-27552850

[fair horizon]

its penance for taking Australia dlc's place

[quartz loom]

woah they completely changed the doctrine screen wtf is happening

[fair horizon]

bad things

[split bane]

I don't think the current focus tree has it

Just the DoD one

[unreal mica]

Do i have to?

Why does the AI have that invisible edge against me whats it doing how

[untold cove]

they dont have an invisible edge

air combat has a lot of factors

state anti airs, local divisions's anti air, naval anti air, air accidents chances, pilots's experience levels, weather conditions

and much more

[opal nymph]

Do you have By Blood Alone

The dlc

[misty fossil]

😭

[untold cove]

Equestria at war things

[runic zodiac]

I want to assume u play aquestria at war 😂

[tulip thorn]

Not all that often

[runic zodiac]

Oh, fair enough

[tulip thorn]

I do prefer a more vanila+ experience

But can understand why you would think that

[runic zodiac]

Im quite new so i mostly play vanilla just as im learning

I dont even have all dlc just yet but soon i will get the subscription

[tulip thorn]

Understandable

[runic zodiac]

Unfortunately i cant afford £150-200+ worth of major expansion dlc at once

[vague abyss]

sup guys

[winter fulcrum]

Nobody agrees broski

[hard depot]

Honestly I prefer to pay all than to go a Monthly Subscription

[misty fossil]

Ok?

[runic zodiac]

Right but i cant afford that and im new anyway lol

[raw crystal]

I started off with 2 DLCs when I bought a version of HOI4 which included La Resistance and Battle of Borosporus then I got myself 3 more DLCs during March. The three DLCs I got in March are No Step Back, By Blood Alone, and Gotterdamerung.

[snow rain]

Equip your divs man :(

[vague abyss]

pft

No equipment = no stats = no pushing and taking more losses

[vague abyss]

[hard depot]

Why mechanized on spain 🥀

Crine.

[vague abyss]

[hard depot]

Yeah but still

Tanks on spain is crine

Especially when there's mountains everywhere

[heavy vigil]

theyre good in the south

[vague abyss]

[heavy vigil]

and grinding tank trait is good if you wanna do tanks

[vague abyss]

its grinding traits

[snow rain]

Trait grind too, and ai can't pierce them

[vague abyss]

Tons of planes

[jagged tapir]

[opaque zinc]

Look for a window to naval invade

[jagged tapir]

then i will be at 1945 and i still didnt take them over

[opaque zinc]

There’s good fighter designs and Cas in #ask-for-help-here

[opaque zinc]

No you just have to learn good production queue

You can take Britain by 1940

[fair horizon]

hello chat

[fair horizon]

through naval invasions even

[opaque zinc]

Yeah that’s what I mean air superiority is just crucial

[jagged tapir]

I play with the blitzkrieg scenario

[grave sonnet]

You can take Britain in 1937

[grave sonnet]

Why

[opaque zinc]

Why

[fair horizon]

Why

[jagged tapir]

takes less time

[opaque zinc]

Why would you do that

Bro

💔

No wonder you don’t take Britain 😭

[grave sonnet]

Lowk Turkey OP in that scenario since you can form ottoman empire with secularist turkey somehow

I remember doing that when I had no DLC

[opaque zinc]

I don’t have bftb

[jagged tapir]

i see

[cedar lance]

[cedar lance]

[fair horizon]

ty uni

i suck at ground anything

[misty fossil]

yeah just read the tooltip tbh

thats fine

i also have a hard time picking between field eng and siege

usually i just go with siege (useful against forts and le funny big gun)

[ivory hull]

no??

[misty fossil]

i think they're sidegrafes?

are they not

idk

i forgot what field eng do

[fair horizon]

too late

[ivory hull]

for tanks self propelled support

[misty fossil]

iirc it gives more terrain support

[ivory hull]

because

spgs

yk

[misty fossil]

@ivory hull

[ivory hull]

if your doing spg tanks then def do the doctrine

[ivory hull]

i was confused cause you said field eng for tanks

[tall basin]

least nationalist turk be like 😭

[lapis onyx]

Im surprised theres no tongue i. Cheek reference acheivement for sweden thats just conquor the world

Also frustrating thing about great britain when you eventually confederate your still forced to deoloy forces on the island

[sudden trench]

How to quickly rush the USA as facist Mexico?
I know about rushing with cheap horses but I think that strategy is a bit outdated.

[fair horizon]

australian curacao

[sudden thistle]

I’m pretty sure it’s still horses

[solid prairie]

someone wanna play i am new

[sudden trench]

So still micro managing?
If you get caught and cut of you die because you have shit defense and org

[sudden thistle]

Yup!

[snow rain]

horses work well still, but the best to do is have your regular army (a few divs : a dozen should do the job), then a bazillion divs with 3-5 cav that don't need to be fully equipped and that are there to just run around the enemy one you get a breakthrough. They aren't supposed to attack anything but free open land while you main army clean up pockets and breach lines

[sudden thistle]

Just pray it works

[sudden trench]

Tried that multiple times yesterday with a friend even helping as facist Canada, I think you really need to be lucky with unguarded breakthroughs.

[solid prairie]

How do I use divisions effectively I'm just spamming Infantry right now

[solid prairie]

with germany

[fair horizon]

the conquest begins

🤤

lottery won

🤤

[snow rain]

now that quite a win

[sudden thistle]

Türkiye is THE goat

We don’t talk about that one thing though

[tall basin]

how it feels to not admit a 100 year old crime still:

i mean we are slithly better, we still dont admit some things we did ( 🇭🇷)

[sudden thistle]

The server doesn’t allow discussion about that nefarious topic though

[tall basin]

fair enough

then the convo stops here

[sudden thistle]

(I have no trace of Turkish blood anyway)

[grave sonnet]

Can y'all make a new flavour of Cedevita

[fair horizon]

i sunk the chinese fleet

[tall basin]

i whould like that yeah 😭 too damn bad our industry's ass

[lapis onyx]

Can anyone explain how manchuko grabbed part of the japanese fleet? The japan3se did flip to communism but how tf did qing grab the akahi and such

No i dont have by blood alone as titled in my username

Akagi*

Is it through a focus?

Im just curious so i could possibly try on my manchuko runs

[cedar lance]

hello yalls

[zenith imp]

how many dlcs have they added so far

[cedar lance]

A LOT

[zenith imp]

last time i played hoi was 1 month ago

i heard they added a czech dlc or whatever

[grave sonnet]

Concentrate the EU industry on mass production of Cedevita

[cedar lance]

dlcs do make hoi4 more better

[tall basin]

https://tenor.com/view/randy-police-dog-randy-meme-police-dog-randy-meme-gif-10505806506869215678

i agree

But the prices

[cedar lance]

yes ik

[grave sonnet]

🤝

[quasi sluice]

Idk how to play hoi4

I try tuts

But still once i play myself idk what to do

[cedar lance]

i do always produce Ships infinetly

and i build ALL ships

[shell sorrel]

Yeah it’s a very good focus tree if you’re interested in playing Czech

[zenith imp]

Alrighht

[shell sorrel]

If you aren’t then obv it’s skippable

New dlc comes out in a few weeks for OCE nations

[cedar lance]

hello yalls

[fair horizon]

idk why but australia's navy fighting the mexican navy is funny

[cedar lance]

alr

[fair horizon]

britian what are you doing

[cedar lance]

in the BIG Hoi4 mods i always build and produce all techs and equipments

and all units

[fair horizon]

WHAT

since when did this exist

[heavy vigil]

since WTT

[fair horizon]

i swear ive never seen that

[heavy vigil]

but since GOE india is able to export opium and random generals can get it

[fair horizon]

INDIA

[heavy vigil]

it was only for japan for the longest time so

[fair horizon]

im going to destroy them

[cedar lance]

hello casey

[vast delta]

Is it possible to beat Germany mid 36 as Poland? I tried but their divs were superior and I couldn't fix my deficit of -15k~ guns quick enough

[rain loom]

i would play monarchist japan but idk china

[rain loom]

uhhh possibly

[sudden thistle]

Yeah

How, u got that bro

[wide osprey]

heisenberg empire 🥳

[vast delta]

Technique is to do the 35 day Danzig focus, get Danzig to revolt and join germany

War starts in like may I beleive

[fair blade]

i mean maybe if you rush space marines..?

i dont know how else you would win

[fair horizon]

why would you blow up the suez egypt...

[sudden thistle]

Since when does Danzig revolt and cause that

[fair horizon]

i love these models btw

[vast delta]

Maybe, but getting the research is tough

I only tried it once so far

Went for the mils focuses but couldn't fix the deficit

I think it's likely possible to defend, attacking is far more difficult though

Still a good strategy for MP though, if Ur friend is playing France you can join within a few months against Germany as poland

Cze's path also makes it possible to join in 36

[vast delta]

Rng event that fires off

Not sure how long it takes to fire seems random from my experience but danzig usually joins in <1 month or so

[grave sonnet]

Colourful.

[jagged tapir]

can anyone send me a strong air force build to destroy the uk ?

[meager valley]

What happened? Why does it look like a little kid’s foam mat?

[vast delta]

Colour-gore

[warm elm]

every state independent 1945

🫠

[fair blade]

i've never really understood why you would blow the suez, is it so they cant get trade outside of the med or..?

i dont play multiplayer too often so i dont really bother with a north africa campaign

[fair horizon]

i mean if they took control italy would have been able to get its ships out of the med irl

but like egpyt wasnt losing at all
