my dumbahhhh didnt even realize CAS can naval strike too
after almost 700+ hours
actually 573 hours
but regardless wow
90286227394740225
mod
ooooooo
what is the mod
can netherlands + portugal + spain's main navy fleet handle this
man i dont even know
I...I think you got them
MD ID : 90286227697186817
oh yeah the airforce is going to cook
free land
aluminum 🤤
I actually love the Netherlands in hoi4 so much
where dreadnoughts
Someone give me an achievement to do
It’s the first country where I learned to build a good air force
I have avenged you father
It seems so cool
im gonna nuke them in my australia game
"Georgia On My Mind"
Oh god
you can do that one by going communist usa
theres 3?
maintenence company 2, tank armor research 2
russia, usa, and the georgia islands that the uk owns
u only really want easy maintenence u can replace armor skirts with another heavy machine gun
and georgia in russia is near like turkey
Georgia the state, the country georgia and south georgia
my breakthrough on it is only 14
i was so proud unlocking that achievment
i knew of the country and state but where the heck is south georgia?
tiny little islands south of south america
south / south east
Research Maintenance 2 and tank armor 2
ok
It seems pretty difficult, or at least time consuming
u have the old medium howitzer
it can be
u need the 1941 version
you have to wait until the soviets get to exactly 80% cap
if ur playiong singleplayer, the 1939 one is good enough
then they can join the union if you go communist
how do i gt the 1941 one its only 1937
u dont need it yet
but you have to fight off the germans that they were losing to
so i dont have to make the spg yet
Wait having them in the same faction also works?
but you should be fine after all that
do i make the spg in 1938 or 1939
i LOVE hoi4
well you join comintern, they're the faction leader, but since germany gets them so close to full capitulation, once they reach 80% they will join the union and you will have annexed all of the ussr
non core so imma get like 1 alu from that
if ur playing singleplayer, it doesnt matter because the ai is too weak to counter
or whats left of it
0 way of me preventing this 😭
worth it
democratic socialism usa is strong asl
trust me the ai will counter
Oh damn I didn’t know that was a thing
paradox can you confirm or deny if alt hist paths for the new australia will have a plane mio?
you get everything that ussr had + the industry and troops you built up as the usa form day 1
its really strong
uhhhhhhhhhh
as long as you build up good you get like 800 divisions out of them joining the union
what the heck is that
like your 400 + ussr 400
Cool
rt56 thing
my reailiability on it is 42%
Is this rt56
In that case definitely try not to fight in low supply areas
@marble ore what does your spg look like?
reliability isn’t important, but it’s mostly because u don’t have torsion bar, diesel engine, easy maintenance
for a sec i thought that was an lgbtq flag lol
wait no its at 76
a artillery
it has
76 relibility
Reliability is very important or you’ll lose more equipment than you can make while fighting the soviets
I do love pride flags
You’re gonna use them with normal infantry right?
no with the motorized trucks
then i realized it was ROC's flag
it is medium tanks
like spg
with like artillery in it
Make them tanks, you’re probably going to use them as an attacking division anyway right?
jesus i did NOT know jansa was this good
ok
Spgs are not tanks
but someone said they are
They definitely aren’t
Tanks for an offensive division
Wait, so you’re gonna use these with trucks right?
Then you need to get the speed higher
do i use it with infantry instead
Or there will be no point in using trucks
If you want to make super marines yes and also keep them spgs in that case
i want troops that invade ussr fast
i got a good div
its called the console
delall sov
im on the mode where no cheats
battleplan it
well thats too bad
ok its at 5.9 kilometers and 70 reliability
is that fine for trucks
Trucks move at 12km/h
Speed isn’t that useful. 6km is fine
If speed doesn’t matter heavy tanks will do better right?
Yes
Idk I’ve seen a lot of people say speed matters on tank divisions and I find it very useful too
It does for generating overruns and being really aggressive. But simply being faster than 4km inf is fine
Mech is normally 8km. Some support companies are harder to get speed on. So cav speed around 6km is common
for encirclements
@marble ore I usually go with something like this
ok
Anyone up for a game?
How do I do this as Brazil? There are so many MIOs I can "invite", but I have no idea what focus unlocks the ability to do so.
rn for my peace conference im not gonna stop save scumming until i come out on top
mark my words
by the way it's this one
and it's exclusive to democratic branch brazil
you dont need speed on good enough tanks
Yeah I ended up finding it. Bit disappointing, but at least I can get some form of tank MIO via the Germans.
just use player-led
VIVA Liechtenstein
them modifiers are crazy
what happened in iberia
true, but only for production
god knows, there was a war between allies and ussr, then spain joined ussr and portugal joined allies, and now u got this
poland just pick a side dawg
if its your only mio it is a pretty medium of the pack mio
infantry mio is always better
when you get medium howitzer 1
which you can also just license off french tanks, so yeah
@dusky burrow do u play vanilla or mods more? if mods, can you suggest some?
<@&846894118219022336> kill this man
i play mostly vanilla, but these are a random assortment of the ones i have or have downloaded in the past
- extended tech tree 1960
- more mios
- soviet mios reworked
- the new order last days of europe
- sheep's mod
- usa rework
- the great war redux
military industrial organization
AAT version of designer companies
yeah, that
and what is an aat
Arms Against Tyranny DLC
the DLC ones level up as you use them more
I still think it was cooler when you primarily upgraded them through focuses
stares at PFOT tree
In historical will AI use its planes more and not hold back ? I notice uk and USA don’t use much of their bombers except in Germany a bit
when you find out what a plane one is tell australia
what?
what is it about ive never played since dlc drop
is czechoslovakia the new god on earth
naw, but you can basically pivot your industry towards certain specialisations, which is pretty much what marjin was describing there
pfot makes czechia strong for sure, but it's not absurd
im dying
locked out of discord channels and cant even scroll reddit anymore because im not using my legal documents/id to verify my age online </3
hi dying im ghaleriusB
i feel that
yo, if i research at guns, will they make tanks also have more attack or they dont do anything to them
i ask because im in 1945 with so many tank divisions but havent even researched the first at gun
honestly the skoda specialization thing is sort of scary
feels like you can tank your economy if you switch or if you stay on one specialization for too long
there are details if u click on the icon
How many mills on guns do you guys typically have ?
And second question, do you guys normally build supply hubs in some areas of fronts that give low supply or do you just try to push with low supply ?
Thanks
this is just a though i got.
what if they add theater leaders, basically commanders that give bonuses to theaters and mostly on terrain and region
but these leaders can suggest frontline plans, and if you accept this randomized plan with automatically make front lines, battle plans/ blitz tatics, kinda like a general coming to your office and suggesting a plan. youll have the opertunity to edit the plan or denie it making the defult plan. but these "planned" tactics will give buffs to terrain or max planning buff
Supply hubs take too long to make to impact a war imho, if i cant build a naval base 'cause its inland i just try to stack as many bonuses for the operation (railway guns, CAS, cipher, etc) then send it
as many as needed, varies wildly between runs
buddy aint never heard of transport planes
only in the dead zones like mongolia/africa
10 as australia
Is there anything I can do here to get Columbia into the war?
I reverted to before declaring.
I love dino grandi befriending all of the balkans except greece
secure their border
I had divisions there
They just didn't have any themselves, not sure how to fix that.
Ok I see 👍 else only if I got the 300% boost ?
guys
just naval invade venezuela
That's not the point, I want Columbia to take the state.
oh good luck then
mabye put troops on the border?
aeugh the ai is sort of a black box rip
they have troops on the colombian venezuelan border
Type yesman in console
I think i won
(i could not screenshot at the moment sorry)
I figured it out :D
I like the way the faction map looks
Something about it is just satisfying.
what are ur top 5 formables
HRE
Austria Hungary
Austrian Empire
Roman Empire
Unified Scandinavia
mongol empire should be a vanilla formible
no byzantine ?
Im a Habsburg enjoyer so
dont like playing greece tbh
Gran Columbia on top
Greater Germanic Reich is cool because its one of the first hoi4 formables for new players because Germany is basicaly the tutorial nation
so its up there, but not top 5
because Austria is just better Germany
In the Austrian empire do we count the fact it can core Germany?
Yes
Its absolutely based
love it
If we talking like that then Fascist UK imperial federation
America and whole europe
- colonise
I don't play it because it's too OP
I play random minors
nice
i always thought it could be overwhelming for me since the UK is huge
nah uk is easy
Yeah bro when you have whole US industry it doesn't seem overwhelming
ethiopia is challanging
i like playing majors like Italy or Germany because of good focus trees, for minors it depends
Ethiopia is fun
i played Ethiopia once, i sucsessfuly beat Italy alone in 38 i think i had a white peace
I might be losing my mind in med school but Ethiopia is always there to help me 🙏🏻🇪🇹🇪🇹
except for the king running away
AI path
worst path
Is the Rushing south strat still meta for ethopia?
nah
but i never really tried anything besides beating Italy because idk i just dont want to fight the allies in Africa as a bum with 2 research slots and low manpower
hold until mass dessertions
i mostly just pull back
thean push north
Non Alinged Finland was my thing
Sweden might be the best Scandi nation imo
So fun
I have never played Sweden
Played all surrounding nations
mostly because of resources
But not Sweden 💔
its fun but manpower is such an ass
never had full strength divs for finland
Idk my Divisions always hold
For some reason
But tbf
They get
50 bilion buffs
But yeah manpower is annoying
I avoided Italy at first because their awful resources and weaker industry put me away i kinda ignored them
but man
they are so goated actually
Roman Empire+Italy first
the most based path
screw Germany
Yeah free factories are good
Italy creating fascism just to get outshined by Germany because they did more is kinda sad 😭
It feels like a moment where a guy said the joke louder
Since im playing a heir of the Roman Empire, i might aswell put down the barbarians in the north once and for all
Not sure haven't played Japan... I only played China
I had to then fight the USSR because they stole a few things in the peace deal
Sad they didn't add democratic russia
im suprised
tbf no kerensky
also we wont have monarchist Australia from what i saw in the showcase for the new dlc
in kx thay had the elizabeth or george lead australia iirc
so i guess thats the only way to gat an australian monarchy
Fair ig
What does KX not have atp
hello yalls
I saw they added a Monarchist Finnish path
In the mod
I'm gonna play it when I have time
I dont get why mod creators remove cool stuff for "realism" or accuracy
They also did Russia stuff
fax schzio is always fun
they removed so much cool stuff from TNO, a mod where Germany WINS WW2
because of
a lack of accuracy or realism
Because muh Realism is more important than you having fun
where
muh realism
"but it's unrealistic..." The Germans legit made a personal lake in Africa 😭
Anything for muh Realism
in kx theres a mussloni path where he basically becomes a socialist arabian pirate 😭
Musolini Sword of Islam
If they cared about realism, then TNO should just be a west German/east German puppet gameplay
😭🙏
kx even has a jesus america path 😭
Don't they have a Jesus Poland path?
they have a LOT of Christian schizo paths
Oh yeah also Tibet
and as a Catholic im all here for it
the meme paths for poland is crazy fun
Cores the Entire world casually
if you ask who won ww3 and by which you mean which nation which society contributed THE MOST in blood and treasure to the eventual victory its not ESTONIA its THE WORLD atleast 100 mil deaths from 2016 to 2027
what path like jesus tibet?
Buddhist Tibet
You make peace in the world
By declaring war on everyone
And killing them
And then yeah
You core them
what yalls think bout this?
To have inner peace you must get rid of every other guy that thinks otherwise
whats the most schizo thing in vanilla hoi4?
Hmm
idk but vanilla isnt that schizo
u could get corgis for uk
Baby leading that weird Chile Island
rapa nui
Btw that baby does NOT need to have Defence on cores
Thanks
quite tame compared to the mods
the UK goes imperial and a civil war starts
for a Split few seconds
Australia is emu Empire
for the imperial side of the cw
new zealand goes kiwi empire
Foreign Hitler versions could they work as schzio ?
i guess for vanilla they are schizo
I like the creative names tho
Adam Hilt
how many vers are they
roman argetine american
Byzantine Emperor Hitler
Adam Hilt
Austrian painter
Senor Hitler
Agent/Detective Hitler?
Grandma Hitler?
and of course
if you have a German copy of the game
[REDACTED]
I just call it Shadow Hitler 😭
how do idefeat uk as germany
You can either go fascist and 1v1 them (Better imo)
Or Go democratic try saving France Invade Italy make a civil war happen to Italy and kill Germany
But you need good divs
With good templates
And ofc planes
sheep axis ai is so easy they didnt even do africa
Who even fights in Africa
idk bruh but japan just annexed the belgium so now i have to fight half of africa
Japan annexed the Congo?
Japan on some side quest
No way u mean actual Belgium
i meant congo,. they also anned dutch indonesia
didnt even land just owns them now
Japanese AI paradroping Belgium
idk dude
This is NOT a normal sheep’s game
dumbass ai
it is I aint lying
U got a 1 in a krillion game then
migration
Planning a naval invasion to help out Italy in Africa
That's why they need Crete
holy mog
i took over poland and checs and france
but i cant invade uk
naval invasion
as germany?
yes
no idk how those work
research them in the infantry tree
and make sure your producing transport planes (or research those if you havent
we are highly trained professionals
also
why do the czechs still exist
idek
did you not do the second vienna award?
how come sheep is so hard when im russia or germany but then the ai does ts when im uk
your fighting italy with the strongest navy in the game..
oh wait
nvm thats not navy
💀
im so dumb
forget it
i jst get overwhelmed past like 1940 cuz so much going on
ah-
thats uhm
interesting i suppose-
normally by 1939 i'd already have france-
cuz i paradropped them
Well it’s a lot harder for the enemy to invade you if ur on a island
how many paratroopers do i need for uk and transport planes
well your gonna wanna land on naval ports so your army can get into the mainland
soo
ill say like..
anyone up for a game
nah cuz uk have way more navy then me
good
very nice
what abt naval dominance
yeah ofc but just make decent marines
you wont need that unless you naval invade
fertilise this user
is what I read
you jst told me to navy invade
no
yes
0 air on d day w sheeps
then take army an navy invade
Cooked bro
dude
Retire unc 💔
what i mean with that is
igb
how im gonna beat entire uk with 15 troops
YOU TAKE THE TROOPS AND LAND THEM IN THE PORTS YOU OCCUPIED VIA PARATROOPERS
dude
omg
yea so i naval invade after that
NO
YOU TAKE THE TROOPS
AND MOVE THEM FROM THE PORT
BY RIGHT CLICKING ON THE BRITISH PORT U OCCUPIED
how u want them to get across the water then
why is bro getting ragebaited
😭
my marines so ah no assault inf
i hope you capitulate bruh 💀
That’s just the way Scoofy talks I think
what im just asking how u want me to get them acrsos water without naval dominance
do u think they can teleport
no..
its something called
moving
you move them to a port you own
right click on the port u occupied in the UK
u want them to walk on water ?
and then
Moving across the water to naval invade?
my rubber deficit is cooked
this game gets quire overwhelming in 1940
why are the spanish in ethiopia
jst dont run it on 5s
thats saf but idk
what is best paratrooper template
That’s New Zealand
i always play max speed
i feel lik eplaying hoi4 made me stupider
well if its overwhelming turn it down
That makes sense, why would he do that?
wym
should I burn my sanity and form rome
anyone got like a good tank division template?
36 width
With Hospital
Medium Flame tank
Half SPG half mech
Engineer
You can use AA or Support artillery
im gonna note thiws down for the future
Yeah ,sorry for the ass image quality btw
im in 1936 germany i dont have mech but i do have trucks rn
Yeah when you get mech just use it
It's way better
and tank design templates? anything i gotta do on that or is just any good?
alrighty
how the hell am i gonna get a lvl 3 radio in 1936-
guys what is the ratio for ships?
Ts is just overall temp
If you have level 1 radio
Use level 1
ah
so any works?
as long as its just
identical to whats on the picture?
As long as it's the same thing
Like I don't expect you to have level 2 howitzer in 38-9
Use 1
0 org 😭
(without doctrine btw)
With it's bigger
is this for light or medium tanks..
idk which kinda tank the hummel is
I used it for Bulgaria
i onyl got lights right now
which cant fit 2 heavy
mgs
well i got interwar tanks but i dont think
thats good
soo this?
erm
oh you poor soul
i have to represent my country
i will liberate the ballkans
Yeah but research Artillery 2 when you can so you can get howitzer
I used that concentrated the entire Bulgariab industry on 15 good Divisions and this was the resolt
Year was 1940
ok guys what do i genuenly do as albania
sigh thats gonna take 2 years until im in 1939.. which i can researc thath on
First you downloaded RT56
Not entirely, most of the reboot games take place before it
if u wanna play albania play RT56 that one has content
the one in vanilla
is ass
whats rt56
im bleeding dry in romania, cant push theese bums what can i do
a mod
a big revamp mod
Road to 56
that adds content until 1956
it also does smth paradox doesnt do and add focuses for countries with generic ones
where the howitzer at
Then you use close support gun / the current you are using until you get arty 2
alright
Doesn't have it researched
cough cough
why would i have
a howitzer at 1937
before you go
any armor or engine thing?
or should it stay at 0
you mean they give countries that have no foci in base game foci? also afaik they add like subbranches to ones where most of the focustree is generic that are country specific, kinda like chinese warlords
I usually just add speed
And some armour
But at the time I played Bulgaria
So I didn't have enough army EXP
yuh
well that chinese warlord part is also in the base game
each warlord has a small unique part and the rest
generic
Gorgeous peace deal
yes it does dude
tbf against ai nothing rlly matters
Balkanizing russia is fun
if its 1 on 1 against a div, and you are constatly deorging them, then it doesnt matter, problem is when your pushing ai counterattacks and deoorg you, little by little
anything but a screenshot
Im too lazy
fym your too lazy
What is even that
I was trying to be accurate on how italy would treat russia like the germans in tno
is this good for 1936
My are we invading poland in 1936😄
it is the only fun thing in this game for me
Tbf im somewhat new to pc
You lost too many people you're gonna run out of manpower
thats why we preach to properly screenshot so the unenlightened may screenshot properly too
Lol
it does if the other div is decent
japan casually ending our non-aggression pact for no reason..
like bro
what did i do
for you to break our alliance 💀
browski has never seen that base stats of that calibre combined with some boni are going in the 6k+ range
example swiss arty div where the tank div has 255k soft attack and just deletes what ever it touches
good div normally has better defense
or more stacks of them
i ought to say defense does not scale well into late game
late game, the amount of modifiers you can stack (if done properly) outscales what you can do with defense
can someone tell which german communist path is better?
only counter to any tactic is deathstacking mechanised
had a game where the bulgrian player decided to roleplay a mechanised-wall on d-day, bro circumvented the rules by putting 4-5 mech divs on every tile in france and italy
the game went on til '49 with terror-nuking all of the axis and sending millions of philipenese troops to the eastern front
romania had like 5-6 million fielded manpower
both are good, however for a fun game go opposition to the soviets
volkskommisariats are peak
ok
im too broke for tanks, do i js go for motorised infa template
MEFO bills are so goddamn quick it isnt even 1939 and im already at 100%
happened to me oncec
i forgot abt hem
just do normal inf with air
if u can’t afford tanks
no motorised?
i did that with polishlithuanian commonwealth a few years ago
i melted soviets w it
Guys Im england now in an online multiplayer and its my first time actually against some mid players on germany and italy and some minors I have some teamates to but idk what to do as england any help here?
motorized are the worst units in the game
why would u go something that has less stats?
just do normal inf with air and battleplan
idk i might be twekaing
as i said a fwe years ago i used them on polish lithuanian
op as hell
maybe it changed
0 air on austria hungary lowk
then go normal inf till u get air and then do air
how is that even possible
wym?
it has like the stats of a same size infantry block
does this really work btw
which is better tanks or this
tanks
what abt mech templates? r they good
not really black and white though
idk but my medium tanks never work in barbarossa
why the hell is there an africa focus
sonion
before that ncns dlc i just clicked agressively battleplan and soviets died in like a year
i asked that the other day
yikes. trust me, us aussie's don't want africa
room temperature iq
is room temp in africa 120 😭 😭 🙏
sonion 🥀
son draw a frontline and push accordingly
push how you can clearly see i dont get any org by the brits defensive divs
well do you have a better plan
😂
genuine shit game dude
your just bad
show me how you would do it then?
build better divs in the first place, its easy to battleplan ai under red air especially with germany's buffs
why do you have 20 horses
long story
no
by making planes
make more factories
if you build light attack DD's you can beat british ai navy
against ai probably but it has like 0 hp and org
then just naval invade
one click into exploding
could be better with new doctrines tho but its like more meme
27 org is actually fine, the issue is the hp tho
i cant even reload saves as my save still has the origianl positions of my troops aka landing on every south england port
so when i repose them to encircle portsmouth
did you move your troops once they went?
the brits come in with their stupid goddamn RAF
people losing to ai will never get old
holy cancer dude
this is why i think navy is better than planes
you can easily out trade them with a better design
cough cough
why arent you buying rubber?
i am
or doing synthetic refineries
but its the DUTCH EAST INDIES
buy rubber from siam
mate you have serious problem solving skills.... you see the issue and do nothing about it
you dont need to trade across the sea if you buy from siam
you can build you own 💀
well build refineries next time
or build a navy
this is where all my refineries are..
anyone up to play vanilla or mods or anything?
and these still dont do shit
36 width infantry with support artillery and support anti air will literally battleplan every ai and win
i barely play this game so i dont know half of this
if thats 3 refineries a per you can get them to produce way more by researching the synthetic rubber tree in the industry tab
i keep softlocking myself with the goddamn paratrooper part
well you learn from losing so
i dont personally do paratroopers at all
hate them
They have less out of supply penalties
no civs, no mils just refinery

Dude?
i do have civs and mils
the hell are you on about?
15 usable civs as germany? cmon
yeah nvm i aint talking here bruh
guys what is the most important stat on fighter
air attack probably
SPEED
Thrust
are there any mods that rework brazil?
For more cannons
Is there a mod that brings back the og doctrines
I'm looking for some
No shit Sherlock
interestinmg
Opinion on greater germanic reich
Lebensraum
theres a mod that provides focus tree for every nations in south america
70 day focusses, rip the dlc
Milan is too powerful, hes able to recolor himself
what about his last name tho..
Must have been the wind
It feels weird to see irl versions of the hoi4 portraits
its as if the originals were just black and white copies of the hoi4 version
when you play hoi4 so much the irl portraits seem fake to you
I only have 1300 hours 🥀
i only have 730..
i have 2200 but i am extremely bad at the game
i think my neighbours hate me idk..
Real
im calling mao zedong on you buddy..
💀
crazy way to die bruh
Me
when im too broke to afford NCNS so i play a mod to get that true chinese warlord feeling
8 years of surviving in a shithole named china
where everyone egts a billion troops at the start
and will kill you if you look at them funny
aand i completely forgot
my northern neighbours
get war goals on me
so i had to end that run quickly
-# invade the soviet union..
i guess
like 200 ?
what about planes
what mod ?
thx
nope
cant defeat them in air neither?
this mf is gonna make me begin angrily throat sing in mongolia
aura farming of that division 📈 📈
and im forced to instantly fight china
WHAT
THE HELL
i gotta fight Super-Northwest now bruh
Waiter waiter! More warlord nations please
okay so the northwest spared me
and i joined their faction to kill china
cuz man is kinda chill with me
and china joined japan 👀
Interesting turn of events 😭
hey guys so I picked up the game on sale a while ago, but never really learnt to play it, I just have the base game as of now, how do I learn it? I've understood maybe some mechanics as of now, but that's it... (I know this is a common and dumb question im so sorry q.q)
what yall think abt victoria 3
waiter, there is a stable and thriving nation in my warlords!
make it worse, i can still read the text
🤦
how the hell is germany still freaking alive
they own about 3 TILES that they core
HOW
never thought germany could be worse than soviets
can we have total war?
nein, we have total war at home
total war at home:
Awwwthis is why i say strat bombing is important
Cus they are likely at 100 war support still
they were at 20%, with 40% stability, holding at one tile which wasnt even a city.
i cannot make this shit up
im done
really? dont they have modifiers to surrender progress, war support affect surrender progress + perchance did you attack them during their civil war?
Waiter waiter I want ALL borders accurate
EVERYTHING
Yes.
including that dutch/belgian town
And that one random Austrian Village in Germany
We need more accuracy so we will make every colony a puppet nation with a unique focus tree
is this guy kirkified or am i blind
Ur just cooked
So hoi6 in 2030
Actually 2070
Yes
I forgot dlc
