[inland copper]

well luckily i liven in a capital so im far

[restive sable]

i don't personally think they're that stupid to spark a war with NATO, and i seriously hope im correct

[inland copper]

but with how the russians are moving

+belarus and kaliningrad

[restive sable]

maybe we should shift topics though, pretty sure mods dont like modern politics being mentioned

[fading cairn]

Arent they trying to repeat 2014 but in estonia

[inland copper]

with how Trmps moving, we are 1 Canada away from destruction (why cant i say T R U M P)

[wide maple]

his name is hate speech didnt you know

[inland copper]

what happened in 2014

[restive sable]

he's like the most controversial president we've had since like idek

[fading cairn]

Lol

[inland copper]

still why cant i say him lmao

[restive sable]

russia annexed crimea

[fading cairn]

Separatists in ukraine, pseudo peoples republics

[inland copper]

@frosty juniper

[fading cairn]

Russia is trying to repeat the same scenario in narva

[restive sable]

and the war in donbas

[inland copper]

barely understand if anything our country

our politics just went down the drain lol

2 ministers resigned all of a sudden

[fading cairn]

Our internal politics aree uhhh

[inland copper]

1 dude got beat up from our parlament for saying some messed up stuff (if im remembering correct)

[fading cairn]

Ministers getting repeatedly brought to court

[inland copper]

for what

[fading cairn]

Corruption, other things too

[inland copper]

ahh

the clasic russian method

[fading cairn]

Say no to oligarchy

[inland copper]

we have some big bs going on here, as a former USSR nation, we have many russians, more than latvians, and every time a russian party runs for seats in our gov, they get A LOT of votes simply because russian see russian do

[forest bough]

Ok so from doctrines alone you can get tanks to have high org as well

Deep battle for operations doctrine (+10)

You have a few options for tank doctrine bc a few of them give +5 org, but armored cavalry gives +10 org for light tanks

For support doctrine do mobile recon and assault for +5 org for light tanks

So at maximum 35 org for light tanks, plus you can get 31 org for tank destroyers

[fading cairn]

Our president might be the best president in terms of his anti-corruption campaigns

[inland copper]

and they want Latvia to become a part of Russia but dont realise its only them

or be aligned

similar to what Lukashenko is doing rn

[inland copper]

atleast yall got it

[restive sable]

they did this twice in ukraine already

[inland copper]

feels like my country might just eventually fall apart cuz the off set of real latvians and russians who ended up here is gonna cause some funky business while voting

i hope not

[fading cairn]

Lukashenko is an illegitimate dictator

Tikhanovska won the election back in 2020

[inland copper]

how big is the disparity between russians and ukrainians there?

[inland copper]

arent they all

[fading cairn]

We have been suffering from war since 2014

[inland copper]

russias president WAS a former KGB officer after all

[fading cairn]

And the population only realised in 2022

[fading cairn]

Spy

[inland copper]

oh yeah

mb

[restive sable]

funny fact: there were more presidents of israel that were belarusian then belarusian presidents

[graceful grove]

Lol

[inland copper]

legitimate goverment

i wonder

how do belarussian people feel about this though

[fading cairn]

Because there is only 1 belarusian "president"

[inland copper]

its one thing to be a country on the verge of a massive war

[fading cairn]

Lukashenko is preparing to join the war

[inland copper]

and their people being worried

but as a belarussian what are they thinking

[fading cairn]

And our army is already ready to strike 500 military objects/locations

[inland copper]

i hope its for the best

[fading cairn]

If lukashenko chooses war

Also it belarusian with one s

[inland copper]

im afraid, as a proud latvian i dont ever know how Russias tyrany will ever end

[fading cairn]

Belarus as in bela - white rus - ruthenia

[inland copper]

lol, in my native language belarusian translates to "white-russian"

[fading cairn]

It does in most languages

[restive sable]

UN threatens you with a strongly worded letter

[graceful grove]

But ain’t Russians white lol
That sounds weird

[inland copper]

thats as far as they will go

[inland copper]

white russians are white russians

[dim hazel]

GUYS I REACHED 700 HOURS IN HOI4 🥳 🎉

[inland copper]

even though

[graceful grove]

Lol

[fading cairn]

White russians as in belarusians

[graceful grove]

Congrats

[inland copper]

shouldnt white russians be in siberia cuz its cold and snowy, kinda counterintuietive

[graceful grove]

I’m still below 100h

[restive sable]

it's just a term they sorta use, some russians refer to russians living in ukraine as "malorossiya" which im pretty sure translates to "little russia"

[graceful grove]

I see

[restive sable]

as another example

[vernal crescent]

GUYS

24w militia tank div

like 6 militia batallaions 6 tank batallions

[inland copper]

also in my language you cant really make the word "belarus" be including in any text

[graceful grove]

Thanks for the 50K Panzers

[vernal crescent]

with this tank design

[inland copper]

like you couldnt say "tie belarusieši iekaro Ukrainu"

[restive sable]

<@&846894118219022336>

[inland copper]

js sounds weird

[restive sable]

i genuinely wonder how many of these the mods see on a daily basis

[fading cairn]

Malorossiya is an old name for modern ukraine, since the russians didnt want the ukrainians to think of themselves as their own, but as a sub-russian group

[inland copper]

why not an spg?

[fading cairn]

Nowadays, russians have a dream of vreating novorussia in our southern regions

[forest bough]

Doesnt it etymologically come from "white ruthenian" though

[inland copper]

i think it does

[restive sable]

true, i should've specified but im not an expert in ukrainian history persay

[inland copper]

BUT

[vernal crescent]

too much brain power 😭

[fading cairn]

It does

[inland copper]

in our current language we use "Baltkrievi" Krievi being russian

[fading cairn]

Even i german its weißruthenien

[restive sable]

but what i know is that for a good chunk of history ukraine was divided between cossack hosts who were loyal to either the PLC or russia

[inland copper]

Krievija un Baltkrievija

you see

[restive sable]

so i take it that it roughly translates to "Baltic Russians"?

[inland copper]

and Latvia was a nothing burger being bullied by the 2 strongest eurasian powers

but i like my freedom

thank you

[fading cairn]

Ukraine was bound to one host only, the cossacks of zaporizhzhia, the other cossacks were their own thing (don-kuban cossacks)

We did have a host in banat and danube

[restive sable]

im not 100% sure on this but wasnt the main cossack host the cossack hetmanate at one point?

im probably very wrong

[inland copper]

actually im not sure, cuz "Baltija" is baltics but "Balts" or "Balti" would mean white

[restive sable]

ah

[inland copper]

balts singular balti being multiple

[restive sable]

courland and livonia

[fading cairn]

Hetmanate is the host its literslly the same thing

[restive sable]

funny enough courland actually had colonies

[fading cairn]

The host is led by a hetman

[restive sable]

trinidad and gambia

i think

[restive sable]

didnt know that

[inland copper]

even the Polish Lithuanian commonwealth got bullied by eurasia

[inland copper]

yessirr

latvians had collonies in africa

super shortlived

[restive sable]

you could say that poland's never had a good history when it comes to our neighbors

[inland copper]

BUT

[untold cove]

oh? where?

[restive sable]

gambia

mainly

from what i know

[restive sable]

i believe under the duchy of courland

which was like somewhat apart of the PLC

[inland copper]

yes

i lowkey was sleeping in history class

so google

but yes i found a pic

[sick crescent]

can people stop blocking me when playing hoi4 JUST CUZ I LEAVE FOR WATER

[inland copper]

from what i found this

[fading cairn]

Imagine being an eastern ukrainian separatist, dreaming to get wealthy by joining russia, and then being hit by having no water for months

[inland copper]

"Duchy of Courland and Semigallia (today part of Latvia), a vassal duchy of the Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth"

[restive sable]

people dont believe this but latvia is actually destined to become the worlds next superpower..

[inland copper]

Kingdom of Livonia lets run it back

Latvians actually couldve beat USSR but we chose not to, cuz mom told us its the kids time to have some fun

https://tenor.com/view/romania-gif-scream-if-you-love-brock-lesnar-loves-brock-lesnar-gif-8607013991961401757

[inland copper]

and the Baltic way was actually just us goofing around testing out our strenghts

we were playing around

[restive sable]

in like the 1500s i believe there was a pretty big war between russia, and the joint combined power of the PLC, Denmark-Norway and Sweden

over livonia

named funnily enough the Livonian War

Imagine being an all-powerful state, just to be beat up by two tiny states

[fading cairn]

Lithuania was a german client state

[inland copper]

hwat

ohh

we not about the same thing

i thought this was about 1991

[restive sable]

the germans post-WW1 wanted to establish client states in lithuania, belarus, ukraine, and the baltics (wanted a united baltic duchy led by the german nobility)

[fading cairn]

Remember 1919

[inland copper]

as a Latvian patriot i agree

[inland copper]

yeah no the Grand Baltic Dutchy

or whatever it was called

[fading cairn]

Our government wants to bring back the ethnicity/nationality thing in our id's

[restive sable]

United Baltic Duchy

[fading cairn]

What would i even put there

[inland copper]

wdym

[fading cairn]

My family is as diverse as it can get

[crystal marsh]

can i even do it as a nation other than poland

[tepid saffron]

so why does tuva own warsaw

[oak mantle]

why not

[tepid saffron]

fair enough

[eternal aspen]

Average city life

I lived in the same house for close to 20 years, the only thing that has changed was when I moved out, the carpets got changed

The streets havent even been repaired, thats how crap ottawa and the suburbs there are

[tepid saffron]

i've gotten this pop up a good 20 times i beg

[lapis onyx]

Anyone wanna tell me why they fractionated china into a bigger border gore mess?

[lethal ether]

because its more historical?

[lapis onyx]

I dont remember any books talking about a khanite horde

And its straining on the eyes

Like holy fucj

I look down there and feel like i got flashbanged

[tepid saffron]

hoi4 its self is a strain on your eyes

[lapis onyx]

Yes but china i just

I think i would prefer if those states popped up sas stability got reduced also

[restive sable]

because they historically were divided among warlords

[lapis onyx]

They never changed beinings name to beiping in alotta stuff

[lapis onyx]

Yes but i dont think it was this many

[restive sable]

the central government did not control all of what was considered legally to be "china"

[lapis onyx]

I think i read

5 or 6?

If you included communist china

[restive sable]

if anything it was far more, this is just a gross oversimplification of the situation for gamesake

[lapis onyx]

Fair but befire it felt easier to look at

Speaking of

Isnt china due for another civil war?

They have one like ince every hundred or so years ye?

[restive sable]

when you get used to how it used to look then yeah i guess so

[lapis onyx]

Also why the name change on beijing?

[restive sable]

what is it now?

its such a good buff

hoi4 has less than there actually were btw

Yes, i am better than all of you who play with console

Georgia on my mind is a flex even if i dont have that many achievments cmon

[fading cairn]

Three georgias?

Where is the third

[opaque zinc]

Georgia on my mind is probably easy

It’s only Soviet Union and uk

As the USA

[heavy vigil]

usa is so weak

[split bane]

South Atlantic Ocean

[opaque zinc]

They can be really strong

[heavy vigil]

no

[opaque zinc]

And all of those countries go to war

You can catch them when they’re weak

[heavy vigil]

out of the majors they are one of the lowest potential strenght

[fading cairn]

Im most proud of this achievement for now

[heavy vigil]

theyre not very good

[opaque zinc]

That’s fair

That one seems super difficult

I’m doing the neverending story right now

As quandong

And technically make a man out of you, and the achievement for conquering Japan and China as a warlord

I did make some bad mistakes

[fading cairn]

Im also proud of doing these achievements

[opaque zinc]

But I have China unified except for the Japanese owned things in 1939

So it can’t be base

[opaque zinc]

Antischluss was fun

And Austria is easily my favorite country to play

[fading cairn]

Just because you dont have to fight a lot to get land

😭

[tepid saffron]

it would if i had air or tanks...

[opaque zinc]

Yeah maybe 😥

[atomic grove]

why do u have 150 factories on guns

u do not need that much factories on guns

[tepid saffron]

why do i not

[fading cairn]

I did it without collabs

[atomic grove]

because you should put them on other stuff as well

[tepid saffron]

im not doing any offensives thats the thing

[atomic grove]

how come u dont have planes and tanks at all by1941 either

[tepid saffron]

i plan on just holding

u have a 7k truck deficit

I should’ve when I was doing a big Germany run

[atomic grove]

oh alright

[wet flicker]

You fight germany and uk and soviets

[heavy vigil]

ok tbf against ai its not super hard

[opaque zinc]

I just completely forgot about doing collabs and the achievement

[wet flicker]

Depending on what you do

[restive sable]

antischluss was a really fun one

[heavy vigil]

but the major sucks

[heavy vigil]

ahist ai

[opaque zinc]

Uk is super easy to fight

[restive sable]

austria is one of my favorite countries to play

[wet flicker]

I'm gonna do an anarchist spain world conquest in abit

[atomic grove]

u need tanks for offensives against germany too

[tepid saffron]

germany gets like 20k air lmao

[wet flicker]

Do the pan hispanic empire for spain

That becomes the strongest major in the game

[atomic grove]

still

[opaque zinc]

Is that falangist

I’ve only done carlist Spain

[atomic grove]

u havent even started producing planes

[opaque zinc]

Or technically bourbon

[wet flicker]

Yes i think it is falangist

[atomic grove]

u should get to producing them

[tepid saffron]

i already told you my plan lmao

[wet flicker]

Cus i fought the carlist in the civil war

[atomic grove]

ur planning to hold without planes

Yeah I think that’s falangist

is what ur saying

[wet flicker]

It's fun

[tepid saffron]

yes and it is working very well right now

[wet flicker]

Buty ou

you kind of have to exploit against the usa

for south america

not that hard

[tepid saffron]

i wanted to do something different other than tanks

[atomic grove]

dude

[opaque zinc]

Cause of Monroe doctrine right

[atomic grove]

i just realized

WHY DO U HAVE 652 DIVISIONS IN ONE ARMY

[wet flicker]

just dont do the white peace for monroe doctrine until you take over the countries

[atomic grove]

DUDE

[wet flicker]

Exactly

[atomic grove]

WHY

[tepid saffron]

HOLY DO NOT START THIS AGAIN

[atomic grove]

how r u gonna counterattack germany without having tanks and general buffs and without planes either

[opaque zinc]

I’ll always remember when I played Spain and managed to fail a naval invasion of the Netherlands

[tepid saffron]

attrition warfare.

[wet flicker]

tbf they have 652 divs for that one general and somehow got mainly green bubbles

[atomic grove]

652 divisions in one army means those 652 arent getting the general buffs

larping? no i'd never larp

why r u playing the soviets like stalin

bro

its because he has a billion infantry

and assuming germany is ai

ofc germany is having a hard time pushing

however he is still getting pushed

[atomic grove]

please start producing tanks and planes and fix your army

[tepid saffron]

no

you ask of too much

are they ai

[tepid saffron]

yes

but you still ask of too much

[atomic grove]

u are using infantry without cas

[tepid saffron]

yes

i doubt you'll be able to push them back for a long time

air is for the weak

[atomic grove]

is ts ragebait

[tepid saffron]

no

i apologize

ill make air just for you

[tepid saffron]

there you go

[atomic grove]

take factories off guns

[tepid saffron]

but i like guns

[atomic grove]

id also recommend u start researching and making ur own plane template

[atomic grove]

wtf r u gonna do with 200k guns

ur producing 1.5k a day

u have enough guns to supply your army for a long time

a very long time

[tepid saffron]

300k* but uh

im going to arm civilians with the guns clearly

[wet flicker]

depends on the enemy but pretty much

because a deficit of 1k alone in war is all you need and that 200k is gone

[misty fossil]

hes ragebaiting

[wet flicker]

when i first started all i did was use infantry too

i was going through hell

does anybody have an anarchist spain guide

[atomic grove]

yeah i could tell

[atomic grove]

i forgot he has like 900 divisions

id assume its infantry

medium tanks or medium spgs

[undone veldt]

I think Britain's cooked

[wet flicker]

spg all the way

[wet flicker]

do i need manpower or better war econ

[wet flicker]

im trying to figure out if i should change to partial or use extensive cus of where my manpower is at

[wet flicker]

nah i have the 150

but idk where to put it at

like whats more efficient to grab

[undone veldt]

When you up conscription law you have to do it one tier at a time to make it effective

Do conscription law

Go to extensive

[wet flicker]

ye i just went extensive

[undone veldt]

Are you new @wet flicker just wondering

To hoi4

[opaque zinc]

I’m crying this feels overkill

Anything but killing them in 1940

[undone veldt]

My allies declared on every nation in europe and couldn't deal with it so i had to help them

I also had have halve my troops in Africa because my allies were doing nothing in there while I was slowly invading Russia at halve strength

Also the us joined in 39

Somehow

[wet flicker]

alright bro

[wet flicker]

560 hours

[undone veldt]

Russia naval invaded?

Dang ts never happens

Bro the allies swapped to nato tf

Man I'm so exited for absolutely none of these nukes to hit and my naval invasion do absolutely nothing

[misty fossil]

medium spg

medium tanks are jack of all trades master of none

i would just do heavy TD and heavy spg

unless its eaw where i randomly get -0.4cw for all generic tanks

[dapper pine]

Now this is a interesting time line

[wet flicker]

look at my timeline on historical mind you

all i did was unify the nordic countries as sweden

[dapper pine]

[undone veldt]

Britain is cooked bro

And there goes the royal navy

[restive sable]

going ahistorical makes the ai go ahistorical as well

[wet flicker]

but this much even on historical?

ive never had this much of a curve in the timeline before

i wish there was an expert ai for navies

germany cant even do anything because austria is in axis

[undone veldt]

I kinda forgot

I been focusing on my navy

[tepid saffron]

is there an issue

[misty fossil]

yeah

why do you have 700 divs under one guy

[tepid saffron]

because

[misty fossil]

my brain is imploding looking at that

[tepid saffron]

im lazy

[misty fossil]

hi lazy im dad!

[tepid saffron]

and why try when i can just wait for d-day

[misty fossil]

is there a portrait of stalin with a bowl cut or whatever

[misty fossil]

https://tenor.com/view/i'm-cooked-bad-haircut-hair-gif-10221558871062307163

[tepid saffron]

maybe

if theres one with a low taper

u can probably find one with a bowl cut

[misty fossil]

lmao

ig i can just photoshop one

lmaoo

[undone veldt]

I only have to cap the usa and brazil, but by then Australia, Mexico, Bhutan, Nicaragua and north Sentinel island will be majors

[tepid saffron]

light work

[undone veldt]

Britain crumpled so

[tepid saffron]

i dont think im making it to berlin before the allies

[undone veldt]

They were super underdefended

[terse skiff]

never knew stalin was a lad from liverpool

[tepid saffron]

they never taught yall that in history?

[terse skiff]

no here in california homeowners decided to defund the education system in 1978

also maybe next time you will reach berlin first. You have to improve your industry which is 20 times more important than templates

[tepid saffron]

i mean could always do better but 🤷

[terse skiff]

150 in guns?

you really only need 30 at most

[undone veldt]

I have a few guns

[terse skiff]

wtf 639 divisions for one general? what game is this

[undone veldt]

I just saw that😭

[tepid saffron]

only the 4-5th person to point this out

[wet flicker]

weirdest save ever bruh

[tepid saffron]

i promise to you i can do worse

[wet flicker]

what do i even do

do i justify a war goal on the soviets too

[silk fern]

what flag is that

[tepid saffron]

yes soviets are prob light work

[undone veldt]

Are we fr

Japan's gone

Im not invading that im just gonna go through alaska and Quebec

[tepid saffron]

nvm we're reaching berlin endsieg bullshit militia spam stopped the allies

[silk fern]

forgot i had this mod on

[tepid saffron]

what could possibly be the reason

[undone veldt]

Tbh im going to sleep i can finish ts tomorrow

[terse skiff]

why did you never do the final paranoia event

10 million dead soviets by the end 💀

[tepid saffron]

wdym

[terse skiff]

loosen restrictions

It's right there in your events

[tepid saffron]

im confuseed

[terse skiff]

it's in your paranoia list

you're still fighting with the debuffs from the purge

[winter fulcrum]

im so tuff

[terse skiff]

your events

[tepid saffron]

oh these?

[terse skiff]

Yeah

[tepid saffron]

thatsa decision

but uh im not using navy or air

its just a waste atp

[terse skiff]

Uh ok

I guess if you spend 184 factories on guns

[tepid saffron]

i mean sheeps ai can actually d-day so germany moves all their tanks from the east

and i already have enough buffs by then to push

[terse skiff]

I guess so

[tepid saffron]

ion understand why people expect me to play by building air and tanks

[terse skiff]

You can it's just 600 divisions in one general and 184 factories on guns

[tepid saffron]

theres a reason for the 184 on guns

[terse skiff]

You'd lose much less if you have tanks and such

[misty fossil]

address me

[tepid saffron]

yeah but u do the same build every game and are u just not boredo f that

[tepid saffron]

losses arent a real thing

[terse skiff]

Yeah but so much losses

[tepid saffron]

do u not like big number?

[terse skiff]

Also can you beat Germany air in sheep without any ussr air focuses?

[tepid saffron]

i gave them what they needed to fight idk what to tell you

[tepid saffron]

uh

[terse skiff]

For the enemy lol

[misty fossil]

i should play a brazil air build

[tepid saffron]

probably not

[terse skiff]

These things don't matter that much

[tepid saffron]

aces do lmao

and so does air xp

air wing xp*

[terse skiff]

Yeah but you can still just prep for it

[tepid saffron]

germany will have like 12k fighters and atp

you might as well just wait for d-day lmao

[terse skiff]

Like you don't lose any atk defense speed agility

[tepid saffron]

yet germany will get aces and more veterans..

and they will have ALOT more factories on planes than you

[terse skiff]

Are German planes range mio with self sealing and 2 armor plates?

[tepid saffron]

yes

[terse skiff]

Oh ig you can just give up on that then lol

Unless you spend a year on air focuses

[tepid saffron]

seems like a waste though

[terse skiff]

Yeah

[atomic grove]

its ragebait

[tepid saffron]

not even lmao

[terse skiff]

It actually sounds fun

[tepid saffron]

germany gets like 12k fighters on u by war

[tepid saffron]

it could be possible lmao

[terse skiff]

Can you self sabotage and still beat sheep germany

[tepid saffron]

lmao resistance maxxing

i feel like u could resistance maxx since germany goes on local police force

[terse skiff]

I mean it is banned in mp

But what's stopping you from no garrisoning Poland and then let Germany take over 90 resistance polish land

[tepid saffron]

absolutely nothing

[terse skiff]

Stalin just did a gamer move

[tepid saffron]

o i should try mass mob

well mass assault

o wait nvm u just need guerilla warfare

[terse skiff]

Throw back to when mass assault gave you hp

[tepid saffron]

i still love old mass mob

[terse skiff]

The old deep battle doctrine? That was great

Reduced width, + hp, reduced supply. Truly the best doctrine there ever was

[tepid saffron]

superior fire power just isnt the same

[terse skiff]

Throwback to when mobile warfare was great

So like never 🤣

[tepid saffron]

we all love mobile warfare

[runic geode]

is hitler a fictional character

[tepid saffron]

yes

[runic geode]

damn

i knew he is

[misty fossil]

are you vietnamese

[opal nymph]

Me with 20 km/h divs:

Can someone explain why fuel drums have to slow you down

[tepid saffron]

i mean its ww2 tanks and fuel drums are heavy

[opal nymph]

I dont remember if adding small cannons lower speed

[tepid saffron]

i can probably check

since im about to do china run

[opal nymph]

Additional armor plates dont decrease speed

[obsidian sigil]

i think it only decreases reliability

[opal nymph]

Which isn't speed

Wait, it doesn't even matter

You cant get light tanks to reach 20 km/h

[tepid saffron]

small cannon decreases speed

[opal nymph]

It does?

[tepid saffron]

like 0.1 lmao

[opal nymph]

Like the secondary one

[tepid saffron]

o secondary no

[opal nymph]

Not main armament small cannon

I rest my case

But also I find it funny how mechanized and armored cars move faster than helicopters

Like helicopters will slow down a mech/armored car division

[fair horizon]

Chat i like navy

[opal nymph]

Lord Admiral:

Name checks out

Where is your navy tag

Or admiral tag i mean

[obsidian sigil]

i mean ur fastest usable division is dependent on truck speed anyways

u can have a only light tank division

[opal nymph]

Use armored car recon

[obsidian sigil]

but its gonna be so low org and unreliable

thats its not gonna be usable

and reliability matters if ur going speed build

cause snaking will cause attrition

if ur finland or something it might work

[opal nymph]

https://youtu.be/jMykfjd4mFc are you sure

[obsidian sigil]

with ur 15 quintillion buffs

[opal nymph]

Mech itself can go 20 km/h

You just need to stack the crap out of the speed stat

[fair horizon]

Navy tag is for fake navyers

[opal nymph]

I'm not fake, I swear

[obsidian sigil]

sonion i see u making armored cars in the vid

u sure u arent on some shit

and

30 factories

on them

[opal nymph]

The divs are both mech and armored car

[fair horizon]

Im gonna try armored cars australia

[obsidian sigil]

https://tenor.com/view/jimmy-butler-jimmy-butler-paper-confused-gif-14478007832172093541

[opal nymph]

The mech slowed down the armored cars by a tad bit

Also I did have like 20k armored cars in stockpile

[obsidian sigil]

just use full mech and have a usable division

[fair horizon]

https://tenor.com/view/vceezy-vcente-v2-hedera-hbar-gif-26088627

Never

[opal nymph]

Wdym, they were usable

I capped Iran in 6 days

Soviets in a year because I was slowed down by winter

I battleplanned and overran their frontline

They had no divisions remaining on that front

Speed is all you need

[obsidian sigil]

i know that

[opal nymph]

Also armored cars are unironically not bad

[obsidian sigil]

i love speed

but armored cars

[opal nymph]

Armored cars 3

[obsidian sigil]

are too shit

like ur legit making shitty light tanks

that are likely faster

[opal nymph]

Armored cars 1 are absolute garbage

[obsidian sigil]

than armored cars

[opal nymph]

No

I tried making fast light tanks

They could only go to like 16

With the gas turbines

[obsidian sigil]

how fast can armored cars go

[opal nymph]

21

[tepid saffron]

which path do yall think i should go as guangxi clique?

[opal nymph]

Opposition

Or KMT

More likely opposition

[tepid saffron]

alright

opposition it is

[obsidian sigil]

are you using self propelled support

[opal nymph]

The AT variant of armored cars goes 21

[opal nymph]

Slows me down

No

[obsidian sigil]

make the tanks spgs

[opal nymph]

They are 36 width armored car divisions

[obsidian sigil]

u get a 20 or 30% speed buff

[opal nymph]

I was the UK

[obsidian sigil]

its stupidly good

[opal nymph]

Really?

[obsidian sigil]

best support doctrine imo

[opal nymph]

If it can get to 20 km/h, then i would have used it

[opal nymph]

Mobile recon let my armored car recon keep up

Because here is something funny

My motorized divisions were faster than my motorized recon

Like my motorized recon slowed down my motorized divisions

[obsidian sigil]

im pretty sure heli recon is fastest

[opal nymph]

Because something stat wise didn't work

[opal nymph]

I goofed and didn't do the speed upgrade

So using it would have slowed me down to 10 km/h

I dont even think the 20% speed would have helped

As it would have slowed down my divisions

Honestly, I should try this with Germany

I only did the UK because they had Alan Brooke

[obsidian sigil]

geh

[opal nymph]

Who is an army maneuver genius

[obsidian sigil]

i use mods

mainly ett60

which has airmobile

which are

stupendously fast

[river bridge]

Rival government lowkey

[obsidian sigil]

and can overrun 3 million germans in 2 months

[opal nymph]

Original TNO helicopter divs:

[river bridge]

How many hours yall have

[obsidian sigil]

uhh

1.1k

[opal nymph]

Over 2k

[obsidian sigil]

https://tenor.com/view/shower-soap-friendly-reminder-you-stink-gif-15157732979346099491

[river bridge]

HOLY

[river bridge]

Fr

[opal nymph]

I've been playing this game for years

[obsidian sigil]

ive made it to 1k hrs without having a germany game

[opal nymph]

Not in a few months

[obsidian sigil]

greatest achievement

[opal nymph]

[obsidian sigil]

ok well

ive been wanting a shitass fast finland game for a while

[opal nymph]

Not playing Germany for over 1k hours is more of a chad move than 5k hours no achievements

[obsidian sigil]

to cap soviets by myself basically via overrun and snake

whats best

mobile warfare mobile infantry u said mobile recon apparently

[opal nymph]

If maxing speed, yeah

[obsidian sigil]

was it deep battle or another one that gives most org loss when moving

that one is needed

unless i wanna larp with infiltration tactics

[opal nymph]

Deep Battle is good, but I think i might have done mission type tactics

I dont remember

[tepid saffron]

i almost clicked it icl

[obsidian sigil]

mission type is -15% org loss when moving

deep is -20 or -30 i cant remember

[opal nymph]

Deep is better when it comes to org loss

But I wanted better armored car/mech stats

[obsidian sigil]

thing with finland is that im gonna have a limited industry

[opal nymph]

Oh, they actually made it do something

[obsidian sigil]

trucks might have to suffice

[obsidian sigil]

🥀

[tepid saffron]

i didnt read it fully

[obsidian sigil]

how should i speed max as finladn

[opal nymph]

Idk, but good luck

Also I have to head out. I do hope that you overrun all of the Soviets

[obsidian sigil]

im not gonna do it now

[tepid saffron]

this is just free land icl

is there some polish guy who want to play chill co op game?
jest jakiś polak co chciałby zagrać chillową gierkę co op

[bronze needle]

how tf do u do this

is that a mod or is it actually possible

[terse skiff]

stacking bonuses, also I do have 15 support mod.

But even without 15 support I should be able to get 1.1k which is like around 5k attack

[vital cove]

you could get 1.5k base in vanilla

just take a little longer

you can reach 1.2k base on 36w infantry

[terse skiff]

like at this point my encirclements have like at most 20 divs because a lot of divs just lose all hp before being encircled

[dusky burrow]

who wants to join your faction

[terse skiff]

Paraguay

[dusky burrow]

let them in

[terse skiff]

Anyway this is also proof that 400 breakthrough is more than enough in vanilla ai

[edgy harbor]

Which main country is the hardest?

[river bridge]

It’s different sorta

[river bridge]

Prob France

In historical

[edgy harbor]

france?

then which main country is suitable for/the easiest country?

[fair horizon]

tedium sucks either way

ill play malaya if they ruin it for me

[river bridge]

Italy

Or Germany

[edgy harbor]

not joke?

[river bridge]

Why?

[edgy harbor]

about italy

[river bridge]

No

It is

[marble ore]

bro

you guys said allies do not do doomsday untill 1942

[fair horizon]

france or uk

[edgy harbor]

italy is the easiest?

[river bridge]

Def not France

Uk I understand

[river bridge]

Yeah. Out of the majors

[edgy harbor]

then who in majaors?

germany?

[river bridge]

Italy is a major

[edgy harbor]

mamma mia

[hollow silo]

wdym u play the game and u can c it

[edgy harbor]

hmm...

I'm playing it just to find fun

anyway, difficulty of majors is...

[river bridge]

Heh commie Germany. First time playing it

[edgy harbor]

France>USSR>US>japan>UK>italy>germany

is it?

[terse skiff]

No

[edgy harbor]

then what?

[terse skiff]

France > Italy > Uk> Germany>Japan>USSR>USA

[river bridge]

Oh. Actually USA might be easiest

[terse skiff]

The later you join the war the easier it is

[hollow silo]

technically brazil is easiest for beginners

[river bridge]

No ussr is not second easiest because of Barbarossa

[edgy harbor]

nah, in major

[river bridge]

Yeah but they ain’t major

[terse skiff]

If you're in sp then barb is not an issue

[edgy harbor]

hard to easy?

[terse skiff]

As long as you have 300 factories by barb Germany can't even push a tile

[terse skiff]

Yes

[edgy harbor]

I suprised that japan is easier than germany

[river bridge]

It’s still harder than the others

[terse skiff]

Because Japan can take out usa first then take out allies

[river bridge]

Japan isn’t.

[terse skiff]

No you have 5.5 years of prep time instead of 3.5 years

That's why it's much easier

[river bridge]

With Germany u can easily cap the allies with sea lion or paratroopers

[river bridge]

Yeah but u have smaller industry

[terse skiff]

What? Ussr can easily get 300 factories in historical

400+ with early warring

[hollow silo]

it depends on how you define difficulty

[terse skiff]

Also Uk is only that hard if you want to save France

[edgy harbor]

Which tech tree do you take after the 2.26 incident in japan?

I selected to democraty japan, and I'm trying historical

[river bridge]

Idk I have lowkey only ever taken historical Japan. Mind u I only have 450 hours on the game

[edgy harbor]

I have only 50 hours lmao

[heavy vigil]

[river bridge]

Guys I think he likes Bulgaria

[heavy vigil]

for allied war youll have some fuel from sinkiang and maybe manchu

then still you want allied rubber and oil

[tepid saffron]

isnt there like a google doc for japan

[heavy vigil]

did they make a new one?

[edgy harbor]

and japanese infactry sort is 6 infac&1 artill?

[heavy vigil]

what

[tepid saffron]

when

[heavy vigil]

why would you use that

[inner jewel]

Just invade the us as soon as you can and you should be fine on resources

[edgy harbor]

Japan-chinese war

[tepid saffron]

there was one for ncns thats all i remember though

[heavy vigil]

no

[edgy harbor]

then how?

[heavy vigil]

just add like a line artillery to your hohei shidan maybe

dont train more

you can have 15

and just spam out the 6 inf dudes

to defend and fill front

[edgy harbor]

only 6 inf?

[heavy vigil]

yeah

[edgy harbor]

and no tanks?

[heavy vigil]

well, dont go in gun deficits (negatives)

you start with some tanks you can use

[edgy harbor]

yeah

[heavy vigil]

wouldnt use a military factory on it tho

[edgy harbor]

Ha-go light tank

[heavy vigil]

same for trucks, trains

some other things

[edgy harbor]

:after Lugou bridge

[heavy vigil]

no, the chi-ro afaik

[edgy harbor]

How much you have DLC?

[dusky burrow]

"can always conquer the world faster"

[dusky burrow]

whats ur guys s strat when u play italy

im curious

theres alot of things u can do

[dusk knoll]

lots of battleships

[lean comet]

Super fat gun ships go boom so satisfying oceans and super massive numbers of strategic bumbers industry go 0 so satisfying destroying alk

but im shit at tank templates

[snow rain]

check the pins in #ask-for-help-here

[hollow spire]

Ok I will

[snow rain]

I must say it isn't bad, you have the basics with mech and flame tank, which is already above your average hoi player design

it's just that you're heavily lacking atk stats (for the cost spent)

small cannon 2 stats i think
