That’s up to your actions on this server to decide

[runic wraith]

[manic iris]

there should not be a difference where u make factories if they all the same % surely

[mighty tide]

Forgot To Turn Mah Laptop Off And Hoi4s Been Running For 47 Hours

[runic wraith]

True?

[grave sonnet]

IDK bro I wonder

I WONDER

[runic wraith]

Are you pro russian or

[daring geyser]

the funniest part about this guide is that it works and is close to the central idea of le meta

[rain loom]

1939 start (source: not hell)

[sly venture]

we are libarating asia

[rain loom]

kx

nice

[runic wraith]

or what is the problem

[grave sonnet]

Ew no

[grave sonnet]

Bandera was a nazi and you are saying he is your father

[rain loom]

hoi4 meta is losing until you win

[daring geyser]

just learn air, supply, eco and get a few meta templates and basic micro

[daring geyser]

no

[rain loom]

wait what

im suprised

[daring geyser]

youll win as germany against the ai everytime

[runic wraith]

What kind of a nazi sits in a concentration camp as a prisoner lolol

[grave sonnet]

In Ur bio so yeah thats the problem

[daring geyser]

hoi4 meta is SFs with air

[rain loom]

i had a friend who lost 800k to poland

[manic iris]

i think id genuenly learn more from playing and learning from mistakes than watching this

[grave sonnet]

Remind me what Bandera did to poles and who he allied

[safe wing]

Bandera was a collaborator who got screwed over after he served his usefulness

[runic wraith]

he fought for independence so

[safe wing]

Still a horrible person

[wide osprey]

where are the moders 😭

[daring geyser]

they practically win against anything and it's the norm for every nation in competitive multiplayer except for germany, sovs, a few select others and specific builds

they also have to be limited otherwise they'd be too broken

[rain loom]

poland is spam cav and win

[runic wraith]

whats sf

[daring geyser]

special forces

[prisma steppe]

i love discussing ww2 topics

[grave sonnet]

Doesn't change nothing still a bastard

[runic wraith]

isnt there a limit?

[runic wraith]

its a bit diff from the perspective of people who were starved three times

[safe wing]

Petain is still bad even though Germany through Vichy France under the bus for still being a sellout

[prisma steppe]

mussolini was once a commie, yet became the father of facism

[safe wing]

I knew this

[grave sonnet]

Yes I know this

[safe wing]

Also he was a socialist

[prisma steppe]

kaiserreich my beloved, informing the uninformed

[safe wing]

Not a communist

[wide osprey]

<@&846894118219022336> please

🥀

[daring geyser]

you can make a shitton of 2ws, then swap them to 50ws with disabled equipment. the game then allows you to convert/build essentially infinite special forces because you fulfill the maximum fielded manpower requirement

[safe wing]

He is a totalist syndicalist in kr

[prisma steppe]

what browski

[safe wing]

Not a communist

[runic wraith]

dam

[prisma steppe]

then it was in kx where he was totalist

[rain loom]

if you were having a good day let me show you my armoured temp

[grave sonnet]

Can we just not support genocidal maniacs please

[safe wing]

Did you know the faces were a symbol of Republican Rome

[grave sonnet]

But yeah I'll stop this convo

[prisma steppe]

and isnt totalism like very near Leninism-marxism

[safe wing]

Yesn’t

[runic wraith]

Idk bro i know like 10% about him? who knows

maybe its russian propaganda tho

thats a possibility too

[grave sonnet]

I doubt

[oak mantle]

Hmm should i continue and do a world conquest

[wide osprey]

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

[safe wing]

It isn’t because the west and USSR teamed up to get rid of him after wwii

[grave sonnet]

Read this https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Massacres_of_Poles_in_Volhynia_and_Eastern_Galicia

[prisma steppe]

buzzword alert

[rain loom]

fair enough

[safe wing]

Still Russia should be in Madrid in by the end of the year - me on the first day of the invasion being an absolute fear monger that I am and fearing the worst

[runic wraith]

first i scrolled to the references but there were no russian sources and just polish and ukrainian ones so maybe thats true

[prisma steppe]

if someone does something good, that doesnt excuse his beliefs that are bad

same as qoating mussolini letting the trains run on time

[safe wing]

Mussolini was great at one thing: loosing

[grave sonnet]

It's been recorded and been talked about many times it definitely happened but yeah I would like to stop the conversation because of rule 2

[runic wraith]

yea i read the rules

i didnt just ignore them

[prisma steppe]

are thee shore

[wide osprey]

so you made it deliberatly 🙂 👍

whomp whomp

[runic wraith]

nonono

[safe wing]

Did you guys know the Germans were considering sending aid to ethopia as they were still angry about Austria in 1934

[runic wraith]

you dont understand we have a language barrier

[prisma steppe]

minor spelling mistake, "womp womp"

[wide osprey]

uh oh

😭

[prisma steppe]

arent we speaking english rn my browski

[runic wraith]

I no english

i need use google

[manic iris]

ok guys new save germany should i do prioritize eco growth?

[safe wing]

Germany killed the dictator of Austria and tried to annex it but Mussolini threatened war so Hitler backed down

[prisma steppe]

we need international channel where we larp as tower of babel workers

[grave sonnet]

Did you know Yugoslav regent Karađorđević promised Croatians autonomy in Yugoslavia but when Ww2 started he said he couldn't because he was under pressure

[wide osprey]

who's gonna moderate it

[safe wing]

Didn’t know that interesting

[grave sonnet]

He was bassicly saying this for a long time

He was just dragging it

Until a war started

As an excuse

[manic iris]

what yall think

[prisma steppe]

you

[safe wing]

Yes

[grave sonnet]

Are you doing historic or no

[manic iris]

im going to try yes

is historical easier than

ahist

[tepid saffron]

js do 4yp

[prisma steppe]

why do people even say 4year plan is good? its just a inconvienice

[tepid saffron]

you can cheeze it

cheese*

[manic iris]

yes but i suck at the game and i am not getting all of europe in a flash

[tepid saffron]

dont have to

[prisma steppe]

germany is too easy, there is no need for cheese

[manic iris]

how

entire world goes against u

[tepid saffron]

lmao you're literally just canceling mefo bills then institute price control

[manic iris]

ima do economic growth

i dont trust myself to do nun

[prisma steppe]

eco growth is just more fun

from a larp perspecive

if i wanna do '42 latewar on poland, i am gonna do '42 latewar on poland

[manic iris]

yes thats my kind of mentality why rush wars

guys do i build civs as germany?

[rain sparrow]

Bud

It happened

It ain’t Russian propaganda

I am a Ukro-Pole

Who lost family because of Banderite scum

[prisma steppe]

rule 2 be praised

[manic iris]

guys does germany build civs?

[grave sonnet]

I usually don't BUT

You can build them

[prisma steppe]

i love civ greed til 140civies

[grave sonnet]

In rhineland

[manic iris]

ty

alr

[grave sonnet]

I only build green Factory

[unkempt zodiac]

this game cannot be serious...

[wide osprey]

i build it only in 1936
and then mils only

[prisma steppe]

i build yellow one

[wide osprey]

🙂

am i an idiot

[unkempt zodiac]

please dont tell me i have to cap liberia

[manic iris]

do yall agree ceasefires would be a good add to the game

[cinder parrot]

Too much? And that’s every tile I have

[prisma steppe]

it doesnt show, you must go over the war notification to see whomst to cap, or go to only majors

[unkempt zodiac]

the yellow thing around the name means its a major

[prisma steppe]

browski do screenshots with WIN-Button + Shift + S

[unkempt zodiac]

i think

[tepid saffron]

4 in rhine or none at all

[runic wraith]

even if he is bad the upa isnt

[cinder parrot]

Shut up

[cursive oxide]

Yrs

[manic iris]

i always filled the entire country with civs then later mils

[tepid saffron]

that can probably supply 1% of chinas forces

[tepid saffron]

no point

[prisma steppe]

why do thee insult myselfths? i gave you advice and you rudely reject it?

[cinder parrot]

Motorizing the supply bases

[manic iris]

should i rush anchluss

[cinder parrot]

No

Restore the kaiser

[buoyant rivet]

I am making another attempt at my French run from yesterday, hopefully it goes bettert

[manic iris]

it was so close to world conquest

i love the empire path but i need to do some hitler action

[prisma steppe]

@safe wing banian dont agree with him, he mad he lost ww1, "The Future is now, old man"

[honest glacier]

victoria>wilhelm 2

[manic iris]

who u playing as

[prisma steppe]

remove swastika, its rulebreak

[manic iris]

i was so happy when i saw u could do hre whithout dlcs

[safe wing]

Germany had a better army and navy in WWI

[cinder parrot]

It’s Ukraine in “Ukraine Above All”

[manic iris]

why can u say hitler but not the swastika

weird

[prisma steppe]

army debatable

[prisma steppe]

like the image itself is bad, but the word isnt

[safe wing]

Germany literally held out against Russia and France for 3 years at the same time and ended up destabilizing Russia

[cinder parrot]

The swastika is originally Hindu and Norse too

[safe wing]

Before attempting to win in the west and getting punched by UK, France and USA

[cinder parrot]

The historical flag of the Mauryan Empire, which was Hindu, featured the swastika

[safe wing]

Nazi Germany struggled harder with 2 fronts @prisma steppe

[manic iris]

is it a smart idea to divide the reicch in diffrent like subjects

wait the flag that hoi4 uses what even is it

[safe wing]

Like France and the USSR in 1944 went worse than France and Russia of 1917

[prisma steppe]

they werent focused on a two front war tho? tech and tactics were diffrent? also the preparation for a two front war was there

[safe wing]

Bagration and Dday kicked the teeth out

[prisma steppe]

after '44 it was just a massacre

[manic iris]

?

[safe wing]

That last reason is the reason why Germany was better in WWI

Germany in 1914 was better prepared than Germany in 1939

[prisma steppe]

based germany

[cinder parrot]

In an actual fight the Germans from ww1 would actually lose against hitlers pigs

[safe wing]

True because of the technology gap

[cinder parrot]

I defeated Russia as kaiser Germany and took the allies over as faction leader

[manic iris]

chat if napoleon was in france during ww2 would hitler take france

[safe wing]

But let’s make it even

[safe wing]

No

Napoleon was not one to listen to the public

[cinder parrot]

But in training

[manic iris]

smart man

[cinder parrot]

..

[prisma steppe]

that is very easy? with the allies on your side?

[cinder parrot]

Yes

[safe wing]

And smart

[cinder parrot]

Genuinely clapping them

And Austria united with me during the war

[manic iris]

what are the best policical dudes for germany

[safe wing]

Communist USA, communist France and USSR vs UK and Imperial Germany in an alternate wwii in 1940 - 1947

I think the commies win unfortunately but at a high cost

[cinder parrot]

What else must I do? I gave Lithuania land and captured East Ukraine

Do I puppet Poland or do I leave the rest to Germany

[prisma steppe]

do screenshots properly

[cinder parrot]

https://tenor.com/view/get-out-of-my-house-squidward-spunch-bob-spongebob-yell-gif-20033081

[prisma steppe]

[manic iris]

[south mountain]

Is there any 1836 hoi4 mods?

Or 1807 hoi4 mods?

[prisma steppe]

he just eat up information without fact checking

[cinder parrot]

yall how do i get the french and british to stop guaranteeing romania?

[rain sparrow]

What accusations

[prisma steppe]

ehh there is one from 1857

[sly venture]

asia strikes back

[rain sparrow]

I can tell a western Ukrainian with ease

[south mountain]

Or hoi4 mods set in the 19th century

[cinder parrot]

wait

[rain sparrow]

I can’t even go to the west of MY country bc of scum like this

[cinder parrot]

i just realized

[manic iris]

any hoi4 mods for ancient times

[cinder parrot]

i can just make romania become a different ideology

[prisma steppe]

just cause he from somewhere he has opinion?

[rain sparrow]

He is a Banderite

Banderites r facists

[south mountain]

Or hoi4 mods set in the 13th century

[rain sparrow]

Banderites slaughtered my family

They have no right to speak

[prisma steppe]

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3630631990&searchtext=1857

[rain sparrow]

I am a Ukrainian patriot but Banderites need to be lobotomized

[cinder parrot]

i will never use the damn generals that have "-10% division recovery" because it ruins the ENITRE GAME

[south mountain]

Is there any hoi4 mod set in ancient greece? Like 300BC?

Or 400BC

[prisma steppe]

we dont do that here, we dont lobotomise, we educate

[rain sparrow]

They support a genocidal maniac

[prisma steppe]

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3641802283 closest that is polished enough

[prisma steppe]

yes yes, but did we kill all members of the nsdap after ww2?

[cinder parrot]

im mass producing all of my equipment

everything has 15 factories

[rain sparrow]

[cinder parrot]

but when i have more resources thats gonna go up

[rain sparrow]

Bud, he is a part of the group that looks down at me and my family

[manic iris]

good template for germany guys?

[south mountain]

Try the BICE mod pls

[safe wing]

Or the cpusa after 1991 considering how unhinged that party is imo

[rain sparrow]

There is no way to not be pissed at him

[grave sonnet]

Sadly no

[cinder parrot]

what does it do

[prisma steppe]

fym sadly

there we milions of them

[south mountain]

Overhauls the entire game, makes it more realistic and fun!

Many new features

[rain sparrow]

My Polish father had to leave Lviv bc of Banderite scum mistreating Poles

[cinder parrot]

any required DLC?

[prisma steppe]

most of them needed to join

[grave sonnet]

Every officer was deserved to be killed

[south mountain]

No dlc required

🙂

[grave sonnet]

Mb mb thought you were talking about officers and high ranking officials

[south mountain]

You get like 100 mils at the start

[cinder parrot]

is it compatible with Ukraine Above All?

[grave sonnet]

MB MB

[south mountain]

Never heard of that mod

[cinder parrot]

im rn playing it

its amazing

[prisma steppe]

that doesnt seem fair, fair trial for all, no just killing

[cinder parrot]

gives ukraine an independent state but cannot be 1939 start year

[grave sonnet]

Yeah my country had a different way of dealing with them

[cinder parrot]

giant focus tree, larger with the expanded mod

custom models and voicelines

yada yada anything

[prisma steppe]

exporting them to croatia?

[safe wing]

Wish the stasi and all the scum who licked the ussrs boots were purged after 1991

[cinder parrot]

also you have to manage the balance of power for production

[grave sonnet]

Exporting them into ditches and breaking their bones

And looting

[cinder parrot]

The part

[grave sonnet]

It's deserved considering what they did to innocent people

[prisma steppe]

then you are no better then them

[south mountain]

In BICE you have 100 mils but have to manufacture every specific equipment

[grave sonnet]

Revenge is revenge

[cinder parrot]

wait

even the uniform?

[grave sonnet]

What you do will come back to bite you in the ass

[prisma steppe]

revenge gives you nothing but pain and gratification

[grave sonnet]

They called my people subhumans massacred them forced them into doing stuff they didn't wanna

[safe wing]

Have you lost family to a evil regime

[prisma steppe]

karma comes naturally, you mustnt enforce it

[grave sonnet]

Why should I let random people decide their fate

[safe wing]

I haven’t but at least try to understand why people do revenge

[cinder parrot]

https://tenor.com/view/1984-big-brother-theory-conspiracy-theory-conspiracy-gif-14810917015813258640

[prisma steppe]

probably, but i am very unsure, i have suspicions my family was part of the lebensraum program

[grave sonnet]

I wouldn't kill people randomly but if you try hurting me or the ones I consider of my blood im sorry but I will do the same to you that's my thoughts atleast

[safe wing]

That’s my point I don’t under your pain but I would do the same thing if it happend to me or my family or friends

And I don’t want that to happen to me or my family

[grave sonnet]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bleiburg_repatriations

[safe wing]

In short I don’t understand because it hasn’t happened to me

[cinder parrot]

if we cant post an image containing the nazi flag ingame despite it being uncensored in the base game, then whats the point of us being allowed to mention them, even though the game is centered around the nazis

[mild plaza]

Lets get back to hoi4

[safe wing]

Chat mods are here let’s stop

[grave sonnet]

Yeah you have a different perspective but let's say I don't really enjoy it

[mild plaza]

Its a war game. Yes it has other aspects but the main point of it is still war and strategy.

[prisma steppe]

mods arent asleep

[winged field]

game flag is different

[cinder parrot]

i cant even post an image of the nazis being idiots, ofc they ask me to join their faction but i wont say yes because that will get me killed

[winged field]

Tanks are better

[winged field]

pro tip: dont use light tanks for offense lol

[grave sonnet]

Who uses light tanks brotato

Heavy all the way

[manic iris]

nice low MEFO

[winged field]

what do you think?

[manic iris]

yes

when im in power latvia could cap me

[cinder parrot]

staging a coup in romania because the br*ts guarantee them

[manic iris]

i swear bri"ts guartantee every single country in the world

You want to attack as poland cuz they suck in defense

mainly bcs of terrain

[cinder parrot]

genuinely realized why my supply lines were cooked, i didnt make any damn trains

[manic iris]

i still dont get supply

[cinder parrot]

build railways, have them connected to a supply base, motorize supply base, upgrade railways, give division template a logistics support

[manic iris]

too complicated

[cinder parrot]

logistics company is needed in the template to reduce the supply use

[cinder parrot]

that is insanely simple bro

[manic iris]

what does the truck on top of suply thing do

[cinder parrot]

https://tenor.com/view/shrimp-simple-its-shrimple-gif-25735431

[cinder parrot]

motorizes it

increasing the supply

you do need to produce trucks for it to work though

[winged field]

you dont really need to worry about supply if you are fighting only in europe

[manic iris]

what abt air suply

[winged field]

exception is like romania in some parts

[cinder parrot]

connect the airbases to a supply base through railways, have fuel, and make sure your airbase isnt overcrowded

that destroys it

a max airfield has 2,000 planes

[manic iris]

i swear i hate fighting in asia

trooops move like turtles

endless fights

[cinder parrot]

first mistake was fighting in asia

[karmic viper]

best way to get rid of the kurds

[cinder parrot]

engineer companies bro

[winged field]

nerfed to oblivion

[manic iris]

wyhen i did hre i had too

[cinder parrot]

HRE as in like holy roman empire

?

[manic iris]

yea

[cinder parrot]

why do you need to be in asia for it

[manic iris]

defeating all the clicks nations or whatever and china

[manic iris]

i tried world conquest

[cinder parrot]

is 2.16m infantry on heavy forts enough to stop the nazis and soviets?

[karmic viper]

fastest way to get rid of the kurdish rebels

[winged field]

as poles?

[cinder parrot]

as ukraine

[winged field]

didnt expect that answer

[winged field]

do you have air?

[cinder parrot]

ye

i got a good production line for them

strats and good fighters

[winged field]

should be fine then

[manic iris]

@winged field this is before south america

[winged field]

what u buidling strats for?

[winged field]

holy, so many divisions

[manic iris]

i feel proud

[karmic viper]

whats the fastest way to get rid of the kurdish rebels (always unlucky with the stuff)

[manic iris]

yaa lol

[winged field]

looks great tho

[manic iris]

i think they were all blocks

[manic iris]

i kinda dont count it cuz i used the cmd NOCB and when i wanted to attack someone i insta declared but beside that everything was normal

[cinder parrot]

bombing the hell out of everyone

[grave sonnet]

My Balkanic PC would turn into a stainless steel pan if it went into 1975 territory

[cinder parrot]

but i dont have enough of them

[winged field]

cas would be more useful tbh

[cinder parrot]

i had like 3k stockpiled earlier and now its like 1k because i deployed a bunch

[manic iris]

i think it reached the eightees and i had to stop i WAS SO CLOSE only UK WAS LEFT

[cinder parrot]

btw

[winged field]

what specs?

[patent thistle]

they did it again, this time in my hungary run lmao

[cinder parrot]

how long will it take for the coup to occur if its at 85% with the ideology getting ready for the coup actively being boosted

[grave sonnet]

Lazy to go see Only thing you know it's from the Balkans

[winged field]

[patent thistle]

bro who hurt you? i was litterally just asking earlier. i wasnt trying to attack you or anything

[mighty gull]

did the german ai combust? why did they declare on soviets in 1940

[patent thistle]

yeah, i have seen them do that too often.

and still somehow cook the soviets

[azure crescent]

japan prolly

[winged field]

bcs economy of conquest

the whole reason german ai melts

assuming you were fighting with them for some time

[grave sonnet]

True I remember playing Austria Hungary and rekking their economy and they just pull a Ragnarok 37 on their neighbours

[patent thistle]

serbia what did you think was going to happen trying to solo the ottomans?

sure the ottomans are shit but your situation is even more shit

Serbians after collaborating with the ottomans for years but then they suddenly call them kebabs and attack them

[grave sonnet]

Oh

Austria Hungary was nice to Bosnia

They can come again if they want

But yeah about Hungary

They tried once

And they went home crying

Together with Croatia

[patent thistle]

bro be saying that bosnia was having it good under austria hungary 💀

[grave sonnet]

Bro they did modernization

[patent thistle]

ye but southern slavic discent was cracked down on

[grave sonnet]

True

I can't lie about that

I don't like that part

Well we did

Yk

Do what we must

In sarajevo

[patent thistle]

and together with galicia the southern slavic territories were under the poorest in the empire

[grave sonnet]

Better under them than Serbia bro

Trust me

But yeah I would say the Bosnian Insurgency lasted pretty good

We fought back well

But yeah we had little population against an entire force

[patent thistle]

are you now talking about bosnia under austria-hungary or during the yugoslav wars?

[grave sonnet]

Insurgency against Austria Hungary

But yeah Austria Hungary was good because it pissed off Serbia

[patent thistle]

i outnumber austria by now lmao

guess its time

so it is war then.

[rose stratus]

why am i mongolia 😭

[patent thistle]

bulgaria be larping every war i am in lmao

[sudden grotto]

what happened with albania?

[patent thistle]

dont ask me ask the ottomans

[sudden grotto]

really weird seeing them in the balkans

[patent thistle]

basically you can prevent the albanian revolt in the balkan wars by releasing them as a puppet (through an event you will get) but you can really larp it to the point of creating that

[sudden grotto]

great albania lol

[cinder parrot]

started out ukraine above all as: weak, poor, not industrialized, and tiny army, to: modern, industrialized, giant army, and whatever the hell the point of the flying bomb is

[sudden grotto]

but ottoman

[cinder parrot]

the flying bomb is gonna be my favorite weapon if i can get the building slots for the launch sites

[sudden grotto]

albania wet dream

[patent thistle]

nah they dont own montenegro yet

i am btw waiting for montenegro to jump in against me too (they have cores on one state of mine)

i would at times like to question what the ai was thinking when going to war

[cinder parrot]

Peak supply lines? I have 2.16m men enjoying live on those areas

[sudden grotto]

is that tgwr ?

[patent thistle]

maxt level hungary larp?

[patent thistle]

[sly sluice]

i've been doing guns the whole game man

like

they're not really using their air fortunately

[dusky burrow]

fair enough

[dusky burrow]

yeah, good

they will at some point i think

HOW do i delete this popup bro where is it in the files

Democratic Japan is so broken omg

All I need to do is form the greater east Asian Federation

[scenic rose]

You're Japan in the 40's, not in war with China, what should you do?

1: Declare war on the Soviet
2: Declare war on the USA
3: Declare war on the Dutch East Indies
4: Don't provoke 80% of the world into fighting you

[vivid juniper]

I’m going to puppet China and form the Federation and probably go in on the Soviets

China went democratic joined the west Pacific treaty organization which I created

[scenic rose]

Yeah that makes sense

[vivid juniper]

I just don’t want to go to war with the allies who Fascist Britain still has

[scenic rose]

Just noticed but that long Gansu Ma is kind of cursed

I gave China Manchuria back and the rest. I didn’t really care for.

didn't eu5 flop

[viscid mason]

it's the most recent eu game. Eu6 when? Edit that was a rhetorical question.

[echo barn]

i think hoi5 is next prob

[limpid field]

check steam

[echo barn]

bc we got vic3, ck3, eu5

unlesss stellaris 2

or imperator 2

[limpid field]

hoi 5 will be out when all the countries have at least 3 dlcs for them

[echo barn]

hooiu5 will be out whenn we all lose our last dollars

does anyone know why roll back for achievements doesn't work for me

[limpid field]

no

uhh idk abt the new dlc but usually i build light cruisers with a lot of light attack

[sacred sun]

Hello!!!

[shrewd inlet]

BBs and Carriers aren't really that great iirc

SHBBs are only good if you g ot the eco for it

[warm falcon]

china gameplay is sooooooo good, january 1942 and still not having enough weapons to matching the minus you start with

[misty fossil]

6+7=69

[dusky burrow]

lmao

theoretically possible, but not really since you're using aa gun with fixed superstructure

[somber steppe]

it was -2 with out armor

[viscid mason]

don't bother putting a radio if you have negative breakthrough since its scaled by percentage

[dusky burrow]

i mean if the point is to make the breakthrough even more negative

then why not

[somber steppe]

i fixed it later on. it was funny to see

[viscid mason]

I think the howi also gives you negative breakthrough too

[somber steppe]

god man... i think the point of an armor blatoon is to breakthrough not flip over

[terse skiff]

howitzer is still the better gun for sp

because breakthrough in vanilla sp is a useless stat as long as your divisions make half sense

[viscid mason]

good evening bmh

[somber steppe]

1936 is fun

[dusky burrow]

well you do have to consider it for infantry divisions

[viscid mason]

as for sheep mod. I wanted to play germany again but I am a bit concerned with how expensive heavy tank to produce.

[dusky burrow]

tank divisions should have enough though

[dusky burrow]

you have an equally gigantic industry to cope with it

[somber steppe]

i just plan on making a division of each weight class with there own suppport units

[dusky burrow]

plus you have daimler-benz to cope

(sheep's hasn't been updated properly yet, so you don't have the two Skoda MIOs)

[viscid mason]

oof, I guess I could follow that red baron guide more thoroughly since that wasn't updated for 1.18. Anyways i did also mentioned about that japan game before I deleted that comment. In summary I thought the game was too scuffed because I didn't make any collabs to Siam and didn't cap Siam early for rubber to make airplanes and didn't really have a plan to kill the allies.

[dusky burrow]

yeah you could

once the mios do come out, it becomes easier though

you probably know enough to know what to prioritize for the tank destroyer mio

and for the refurbishment mio you can refer to the soviet guide

[craggy dove]

light attack or torpedo destroyers?

for singleplayer

[somber steppe]

tanks>infantry>planes navy isnt invited

[viscid mason]

hard attack and piercing and breakthrough

[limpid field]

what achievements are broken rn

except the polish uprising

[dusky burrow]

yeah, well piercing less so than breakthrough but you should still get it

[limpid field]

are you talking about mp

[viscid mason]

yeah

[limpid field]

yeah could tell

why would you want piercing in sp

[viscid mason]

big inf is the meta for sp. But things could change for the division rework in the next update

[dusky burrow]

we were technically talking about sheep's mod, but the same designs generally apply for vanilla-esque multiplayer

[terse skiff]

if you have one good piercing battalion then you should be able to pierce any division since armor is not prioritized

[limpid field]

yeah obviously

isn't the mod trying to replicate the mp meta

[viscid mason]

yes

i am trying to get better at hoi4 in general

[dusky burrow]

to some extent yes

[limpid field]

the game becomes so much easier when you use air

is it bad that i started building airforces only at 1600 hours

[dusky burrow]

well you do have to start from inf

an air force without inf doesn't do too well

[limpid field]

well you can still do tanks

wait no

i forgot motorized and mechanized are still technically infantry

[dusky burrow]

yeah those are still inf

[last dome]

1600?

💀

[limpid field]

1600?

what's wrong

[last dome]

bro you have must suffered so bad in those 1600 hours
