russia spams the hell out of them tho
they might "spam alot of tanks" but they dont rly do tanks
ye but they still are horrible at best
ok
vanilla ai doesnt do 3 small cannon
i got rid of the AT
hell yeah
replaced the support with field hospital
meta
how many infantry battalions should i have in the template?
i have 9
but 18 width is also fine
the hell does width even do
and if u want to make the divs actually cost effective then remove the artillery and make more guns
including your own country
also had a lvl10k port
Who is this shirtless guy who plays extremely skilled HOI4, I need his name. I want to watch his videos.
what does template width do
so if a tile has lets say 72 width cuz thats what it has, that can fit 4x18 width divisions
this is cost to efficienccy maxxing
dankus memecus
Thanks.
so what if a unit has more than that width?
and its still a biplane
then less can be in a single battle
so if u have 2 combat width divs then 36 can fit in one battle
The IC cost of that division was like 15k lmao
russias in a civil war for some reason
if u have 4 cw divs then 18 can fit in one battle
john meta
its actually highly advanced vanilla multiplayer meta
20 engine ticks + gas turbine does something
ic cost is a fakestat
@vague sedge it’s time for your first of many humiliations you dog
what did bro do
Armored Cars provide the AT, the SPGs provide the soft attack
Said a friend of mine who died in Ukraine deserved it
td armored cars are something else
why is it red? should it be a green numba?
while the HP and brk in't good, it could be a fun div to overrun everything
get gangsta on him
The armored car ones had 600+ breakthrough
200 hp isnt the worst
could be alot worse
the armored car ones are funnier imo but they don't perform well if a div is in front of them
those are ac btw
armored cars are in fact meta
Motorized rangers?
even with full doctrine they still are trash 😭
me when I lie badly :(
js do tanks
Only reaches like 16
damn
modded ett1960 is very fun
Fun fact!
Motorized recon is different from motorized. That means a motorized recon will actually slow down your motorized divisions
old doctrines are goated
meta?
we need to make 2 width meta
the war to end all austrians has begun
7 million mechanised austrians shall never surrender
arbeiter von wien starts playin
wtf
wir werden niemals kapituliern
why wont the game let me establish the Reichskommssariat Belgien-Nordfrankreich
con mane got captured
damn
Each terrain has a specific width, if you don't optimize your template width then it will perform relatively bad on a lot of terrains
how
Standard is 18w for holding/defense units and 36w for attacking one
Then you got specific cw like for mountainers 32w
the old fighters i produced were ass, aperently the 380 ic cost means i got very very few of them
200% efficiency cap btw
yeah
reuniting benelux as democratic luxembourg because i am god
js put 7314 factories on it and call it a day
holy k/d (the africans are getting slaughterd and doing 0 to casulties as they got '39 tech in 48)
im crushing the USSR
pov: the british discover africa has minerals
nice portrait
Yo,does anybody what good navy doctrines are?
the march on europe
On what repair priority do you put your ships?
Never repair. Repair them manually
the total destruction of the soviet faction
@tulip thorn they have been bled dry
Nice
hello does anyone know a good template for like singleplayer ai?
im just trying to do prussia of the balkans and i just head about sapec marines but idk the template
anything can work
i usualy do 7 2
Found a flaw in my favorite template.
It took too much supplies.
COuldn't sustain long pushes.
Goddamit
very bad offensively
pretty bad defensively too
Soviet meat
yeah i know but ppl say to put light tanks for more armor thats what im trying to acheave i think
well, im not giving a lot of advice now
though id recommend you go to #ask-for-help-here and bother someone there
Yeah, you're a mod now.
Not a helper.
im gonna go again because like, i havent played hoi in a bit and cant give a lot of specific advice
both
Also, do you think the MP people would like your gamestyle?
about this much?
idk, i dont really care, but generally i speak to them
Im russian bro
when i care to learn
also what is sp div
what is your opinion on the snake of denmark incident?
close enough
Dont kno what is it
the eco is dead
eco is a fakestat
world eco goes brrrr
Who is it?
the danish ytb bokoen1
Ok
eco goes brrrrrrr
Can you retell me what about this incident?
browski said he would approve of the glassing of all of russia, just the nuclear version of operation unthinkable
whats the best tank div?
only SPG's
im js getting light tanks bro
Why did paradox scam me
Yoooo its very sad he said it but if impossible but Russia can destroy all Denmark
It
I dont want war
I want peace for our time
is it just me or is the russian civil war much easier now
nah he means right after ww2
with all of the allies it couldve been very possible
i have heard this somewhere
so make light spgs
make your own decisions, make your own design 
Neville Chamberlain 1938 said i maked peace for our time and for our children
Bye guys im going to sleep
we finnaly made the world truelly red
Because every time I assign my generals to the frontline they spam troops at one side and leave another side open
liechtensteins population doesnt feel so gud
its in one state
OOh
cant show the world pop as the stuff only goes to 2,1 billion
then it goes into negatives
28.058.778.626 is the current pop
I love how you can send volunteers to Ethiopia as Japan and save Ethiopia quite easily
And it might actually be beneficial to Italy cuz it won't be at a permanent war with exiled Ethiopia (although I did encircle quite a few Italian units)
nah help italy fr
True
all mah fellas know we help italy so germany caps ez
so u can take all the colonies or whatever
But how to manage a big frontline
Just manage
But my volunteers won't get there in time to let me cap Ethiopia before it gets exiled
Like every time I assign my generals to a frontline they spam troops on one side and leave other sides open
did u shift the frontline
like have u tried to click it
like shift click
I just battleplan very big frontlines
to adjust frontlines
you do know u can adjust a frontline to be bigger or smaller
u might need to adjust sometimes
Why do I after 100 hours of playing still not know how to play this game
But why do they even leave gaps out in the first place
Like the reason I have to adjust it is because my generals keep putting the troops on the wrong side
How can i quickly increase compliance
You can adjust how you manage your territory
Bu clicking on your flag, and then set a way to handle it. For me it was standard military governer
So civilian or no garison
Sounds like either frontline cohesion setting or using spearhead offensive
That will save manpower
thanks
Normally I use that, but this time I did not
Update on my template, my divisions couldn't last a day in battle.
A screenshot would probably help
Okay wait
its only the reliability thats bad
thats why its only an option on like improved/advanced light tank
for the recon
how do i win this iranian civil war
Supply dead zone affects frontline behaviour
Units won’t move on their own due to attrition
Build a hub and boost the rails, they’ll move
So they wont go away because there are too many?
Or they wont stay because the supply is too low
Civillian oversight
wait no
locap police force is the BEST
Too many and because the nearest hub is hundreds of kilometers away
First right opposition conquest
Okay ty
? It's just a Civil war
im a newbie
Does anyone here play right opposition
How many hours?
60
Manually Justify at the start
Just finished non historical right opposition sov. Wonder if people can survive historical Axis
Did you get all the dcls?
i have a subscription
Navel invasion?
yes
A oke welp just look online for tutorials 60 is noting in a game like this you also get the dlcs stuff very early
u could of just said i dont know
@heavy vigil, you said that light tanks were bad.
I'm here to say that it's not true,
Speed can be good.
Good like super good
Speed
Speed is good
No one play right opposition historical?
yk whaty
well yeah
light tanks are good
until like '41
no naval invasion?
Early to make and can make a good punch,
Heavies takes long to make but are GOATED
see this is why
we use pure militia only 12w
legit Germany is SO ez
nice its so pain the need to buff greec redo the focus tree pls
aint the worst peace deal!
I love this mod
Does anybody have any info on the board game crowdfunding campaign?
Or did i get scammed?
I beat segl🥹
did not work
how do you guys do world dominations
wdym not work
i seriously cannot do it lol
Idm that at all
u gotta invade germany in '36
i can barely even win simple wars
I just want 1942 start date
Just have good cas
and good planes as a major country
cas is king
what about ground troops
i like minor countries
Do you guys know an-
probably not the best message
anyway i play minor countries alot
Cut hes balls and 67 em
maybe i should make my goal to get achievements>
rather than just aimlessly trying to win ww2
Nothing makes a better micro excercise than fighting Germany as Poland 
Cossack king so based
I love cavlary
it says right there
"As Manchuko, restore the Qing dinasty"
why??
98% and they refuse to rebel
thats good
it means they lack a shit ton of equipment
The UK is distracted with Japan Imma just invade them

I've hosted a millenium dawn game if anyone is interested?
alr 1 sec
instead of being mean yk u can help right?
real image from d day
@cunning depot loves that mod
ive never played ye
@quiet galleon
no you have
@quiet galleon
yeah stop pinging him lil bro
do it again pssy
did i went a little bit too crazy with the garrison div?
i have a little info that idk if is allowed
about 1k is mine
I reckon it could use a few more inf battalions
son
nice civillian playtroughs
7 achievements in 2.5k hours?
im not even replying atp
yes you are
@quiet galleon
i was thinking of light tanks, and make it a space marine
could work
@quiet galleon
i play too many mods 90% of the time
what arent urs
i have no idea
So is anyone interested in a game of millenium dawn or?
is it better to build civs or mils first?
it was so trash last time i tried it like 8 months ago
depends what ure playing and if sp or mp
i usally play sp
okay what country
civs until like 1938, then mils after is usually a good strat
germany
misused gif
ratio is a tiktok thing
mils day1 as germany cuz u need as much production as possible
it takes one to know one
Why are the seven Kingdoms sending you volounteers? Or are those returning forces?
i have no idea and those are sending
Lithuania sending like most of their army lol
cus im lativa
False
am i able to play mods like TFR even when i dont have all the DLC's?
yes you should be able to
unless the mod specifically says it needs a dlc to function
which it will tell you on the steam page
@quiet galleon
Hosting a game anyone wanna join up can be alt or irl history
1% of the work
100% benefit
Lore accurate musolini
38 is crazy late
i wouldnt
i would cuz u get civboost
u can get 500 factories before barbarossa this way
and since u dont last till 44 only early eco matters
its more efficient
heavy td
two field marshal worth
17w?
didnt test that out, i used medium spgs and i got like 30 divs
18 yes
17w better
unless its singleplayer
the line AA is ultra needed
im talking abt sp
then nothing rly matters
u dont need all that infantry
My entire army is usually max 350 for everything
for single player that isnt bad
okay but remember ure fighting in russia
200 divisions with no supply
and there also is a romania
no supply for half a month
and then 80 german heavy td pull up
tbh I've only ever played one multiplayer game
and 2-3k cas
i dont do heavy td cuz i dont have nsb 😔
Let's just say my soviet strats did not scale nicely for France
sadge
i usually civ till mid 37
or maybe a bit longer
depends on the germany player
so 38
no
6 months
^
but thats rare
and even then its max 1-2 extra months
so still at max 4 month difference
that isnt alot
in sp i spam cas and fighters
30 divisions of armor (mediums + spgd cuz as i said i dont have nsb) and two field marshals worth of inf
then the rest is cas and fighters
ohhhh
makes sense
airbuild can be fun
i did it once in a troll game
i trolled a lot
in sp u can wipe their airforce out rlly quickly
i usually go for like 8k i think i had in my last game

its still a lot more than ai germany
makes sense
the yelling is my fav part
the moment i dont do something meta
5 ppl start absolutely screaming
what do u play as usually
i main ussr
but if not that then i mostly play coop
but i dont think vanilla or vanilla+ multiplayer is fun
i think its at its lowest point
only fun nations are germ and sov imo
and maybe france
cuz only nations with tanks
italy no?
the hungarain mongolian horde in mp is very funny
yes hungolia forever
we love the hungolia
declared at the soviets in '37, there were no rulez against that and because the host was such an azshole (he was japan) we ignored him,
soviet eco was cooked
guys, why Oman are blocking Omur strait
ye in 37 sov should have only support equipment
and the starting guns
and some heavy tank converts
lol
chat how do you think who will win: 1,5m polish cavalry divs or third reich
idk how many ppl they have
......
do we know if escort carriers count towards that like limit of carriers per fleet?
Yes they do
But also you're not limited really anymore. Theres negatives for more planes but they're kinda marginable
Alguém português?
Someone portuguese?
ok we won
Wow the cavalry really did it
I dont think its going to get better for me from here
I should count how many divisions are trapped there
nvm the game tells me
🥹
historically, what % would yall say each important country contributed to defeating the axis?
Am i cooked chat?
it's hard to say but i think no
yeah
i have a lot of buffs for cavalry
n good template
only have around a 120 divisions, all of the ones in the center are basically almost encircled 😭
guys
only connected by a thin piece of land
just don't let them to encircle your divs
it's easy to do
i can help
okay! DMs
and if your templates are at least mid then you're ok
yea i poured everything into quality so hopefully
gl
Guys is this still saveable
You’re Ethiopia so yes
do you guys think i can win this
no, you're at war with the british
if you lose aussa you also lose all connection to the outside world
I just lost Aussa 💔
Welp, time to send the save to Bittersteel
Yeah, just
#1, call no one into the war
#2, plan naval invasions into the UK and France before the war
#3, get naval supremacy over the areas before you go to war
#4, win
well everyones already in t-he war
well i have one singular coastal defense ship as my navy
and we are at war
is prussia legacy or adopt new panzer doctrine better
In any case you have a solid defensive position by virtue of being a whole continent
yes but it will be easier to restart
ig but british just britishing us
but like its ww3 👁️
Whats up w the balkan union colour.
goodluck then
ty
depends on your game tactic
I dislike the balkan colour
only tank i use is panzer 3
and i use artillery in my template
ive only been doing the panzer one since i dont know any better
what do you plan to use more?
explain more
i usually run out of manpower doing my infantry template with artillery and dont use tanks super much nor anti tank
what are you going to use on the attack
probably artillery mostly
then go through prussia legacy
thank you ill just see which one i like more
np
nah i aint clickin that
also go to off topic for that
Vanilla hist?
frenchies having the time of their lives getting harrased by german resistence movments in the rhine
map mod name?
lets not self advertize? and especially a minecraft server lol #server-rules
Why is my mobilization negative?
maybe no one wants to fight ur dumb wars
maybe idk how to play ts
there are some focuses/decisions/conscription laws that give you minus rec pop
if you hover over it it’ll tell you what
Its based on planes in the battle now but idr how the calculations work now. In the naval battle check the top of the thing where you see screening efficiency and there should be a blue/orange thing and if its lit up its over the limit.
Did you go down in conscription?
honestly man, im lost in a bunch of things. I have 10 hours and im still trash, i literally failed the mussolini mission because I couldnt mobile 750k in divison, even though I did everything, in conscription i did partial.
Ah you'll learn though :)
I still dont understand ground for crap but i can do navy
ik bro but its liek my 3rd try and i cant compelte the quests
Id try another country, britian or germany as they dont have stupid issues like that
watch bittersteel and you’re chilling
Then go back to italy
you only need to watch his Italian and Germany ones
And you’re a master at the game
britian ain’t easy nd it’s boring asf
Britian is easy
They win almost by default in every theater
well if he’s sturuglling with Italy I doubt he’s gonna get any further with England
Italy is quite easy as well
just do this
England doesnt have the crappy missions and balance of power like italy does
okay
doing the number 1 prussian hobby: screwing over poland
i have 4 mission sucess and 2 failed, but im gonna fail a 3 one because it takes like 200 days to justiry war and i have 100 days to conquer albania
Go down the focus
To occupy Albania
Don’t justify war
BRUHHh
Theres focuses in your tree for that
the balkans focuse
i didnt checkkkkkk
and theres also a focuse for compliance
which i failed
bro tysm you made me realise how important focuse is
i didnt even scroll all the way
You only have 10 hours it’s fine
I’m on like a thousand hours and I’m like ok
Also this isn’t as much of a problem with Italy
But for specific nations
Really get down what you want to research and first
Research gives so many buffs and different things
Literally most important thing in the whole game
Research priority is so important
you can do without research and doing foci tho? till '42 you can rely on interwar or earlywar equipment, after that research matters
Their lk rigged half of the time ngl
did a soviet playthrough like that and it was doable
paranoia was killin my general tho
eu4 better
no frontlines = shit game
<@&846894118219022336>
this will never stop ffs
Can someone explain how naval patrol works excatly as well as the others cus sometimes i want one on patrol one raiding and one on strike force but itll try to stretch that fleet in all areas
BRUH
how to get the secret hitler in argentina?
this game deserves to burn
What in the non historical helly hell?
is there any mod to get tfr like superevents in vanilla?
its too rare to get
hitler always dies in the civil war
👌
Chat im going to do dreadnought australia
I always prefer using SPAA instead of support AA to free up a support slot. what about you guys?
i love having cursed borders
the only way i can increase my manpower is by upping conscription atp as sweden?
i did the nordic unification
i got ideological loyalty for the extra 500 manpower
plus extensive conscription
i just dont really want to go up another conscription level cus im not even at war but its like im not getting ANYTHING out of my conscription laws rn
germany invited austria to the axis on historical and locked them out of anchluss
made my shi so cursed
Support aa doesnt take up slots on my actual div so i like support better
You can do a formable
More conscription is fine
Just build a functioning infantry block for your line and a few attack divs
Alternatively if you get attacked go desperate defense for free 5%
Is it just me or did I not realize military police are actually really good in almost all division types
I never knew they added so much to a division
thought MP was just for suppressing resistance tbh
What do they even add?
nice luxemborg
i did both of the ones that the nordic countries have
the one you can do before nordic unity and then nordic unity
but it didnt give me any manpower
germany did weird shi too by inviting austria into axis so idek when or if im ever going to get attacked
the soviets already got into a fight with finland before i annexed them ontop of everything at that
so its looking like im shi outta luck
It should have, thouth tbh i think the nordics only have like 10m pop or something like that
Has japanase ai gotten worst
No
Stg they used to take china by 42 at minmum the coast line in that classic deal
I try to see what’s going on after 1949
So I play a peaceful country and do nothing
Spain keep having civil wars 😭
i somehow delayed ww2 and barb by like a full year by guaranteeing denmark as luxembourg
good defense and recovery rate
it completely broke germany
But its like 44 and they a e still going
they literally didnt even declare on belgium until 41
Well i broke britain actually
what the hell did i do
like amazing for line inf
They just
could you imagine how much balls that takes luxemborg to do? if i was germany ts would break me too
im also doing it democratic
People use military police in non garrison templates?
to attempt to form the EU
is there a way to check how much population i got
I never used to
and now I do
cause apparently they're just great
😭
Beware britain will go insane and declare on someone
does this mean once i get to 1m manpower i wont be able to recruit anymore of my population
yeah
also for some reason i am able to justify on Iceland even though im democratic
idk what they did to cause that
oh i see wym
all i can do is sit on the sidelines during ww2
the last war i was in was in 1939 against finland
its 42 and im just staring at everybody fight
Minor nation?
How many losses did you take?
formed nordic unity as sweden
like only 15k thats the thing
they lost a lot tho
Also 10% conscription isnt that bad
rasputin as a leader when?
Their losses are yours now since they're your cores
it just feels like im missing so much manpower
listen man 😭
thats what im thinking
tf you mean gng
Just go to 10% tbh
i might've fked finland up so bad i killed all their people
i know he is dead but since when was hoi4 historical
rasputin deadass magic tho
on my soul
Also idk if you can do the nordic council focuses but they give more weekly manpower
Can easily get to like 1500 weekly manpower as norway if you do them
i was looking at that too bro and im locked out of it apparently
but i still see it in my focus tree
i continued the second industrial revolution and you cant do the old enemy state once you do that
missing out on a lot of manpower cus of that
i mean im at 237k but after 4 months
mongolia content when??? 👀 👀 👀 👀
Yeah it looks bad to see those negatives on higher conscription but the alternative is losing because you dont have the manpower to fill the divs
after ww2 ends, will the allies vs comintern ever happen?
ok bet
cus as soon as they go to war im declaring war on the soviets to take all that rss
much as i can
allies can fight the puppets while i get the big dawg
🇮🇱
Russia Controls Europe. And China Controls almost all asia and the US Controls North america and Central america
yay or nay so far
40 width
idk how to make it hit hard without it being fat
about to invade the soviets with this loadout i pray i dont get smackedf
whos gonna win the war though
the issue with 40 widths is that they don't work once you touch forests/jungles
anything less than 39.9 width is fine
also what are your dlcs
(get medium flame tanks btw)
You guys ever seen furious before it became an aircraft carrier? It had the front gun removed for a flight deck during ww1
But the back was still there
yeah
18-inch gun lmao
largest gun installed on a ship before yamato
damn my gun is only 6 inches
Its even worse when they removed the gun to replace it with another seperate flight deck 😭
if uk is garraunteeing me and I attack one of their garrauntees are they gonna slime me
Yes
i am doing well defensively
but i cannot push them for crap either
other than where i got them to
all of them
i am so late on building the r&d buildings because even after the formable you barely get an industry
you just core everything
israel Nuked Palestine China nuked India then it collapse. Russia won the second european War. China Declare Victory After Japan Allies Defeated. USA Started Taking over canada and Mexico and Venezuela
ebrahim yazdi
What the hell
i cant tell if this is the pony mod, or just someone who lost it modding
Larp
The level of larp
also jesus, thats quite a few sunk ships
it is the pony mod
ah
Equestria at war
EAW
How did britain decolonize quickly enough for isreal to get nuclear weapons
Also dude
I was playing as uhm
Quandong clique
And building up for Japan is actually impossible
Whoever gets the neverending story please tell me how oh my god
Its not though
I can beat China
I mean I know it’s not
I tend to make a lot of mistakes
Im gonna try again
Because I’m getting closer
Every attempt
Before Israel was losing to Palestine and other Palestine Allies. Israel Just Nuked the middle east. This was on the fire rises btw
Defend your ports
Then India got wiped by China with 10 or 5 nukes
Oh no I don’t have problems with defending
I can defend forever that’s easy
It’s just I know if I don’t beat Japan quick
They attack USA and I get not enough war score to take all of Japan
I could get the neverending story
But I also want the one to conquer all of Japan and China
I think you can push them off the mainland and get a white peace so you'd have to not do that
I know
I went to take all of Japan though
For another achievement
I probably will try to make a better Air Force next time
That was definitely weighing me down
Blowing up japan's fleet would get you a good amount of war score too
right
I need a lot of war score
So blow up their navy so the usa cant
I mean paradropping I think
It’s really the only way I think
Because if I stay in the faction with them (I usually attack China around the formation of their alliance so I can join it) I can push them out of most of manchukuo and menjiang
Well no I can push them completely out of menjiang
Manchukuo is more difficult
Next time I’ll try to rush for Korea instead of wasting so much time on upper manchukuo
yall know how to disband italys irregulars
You can't. I just let them be encircled/destroyed.
oh weird i remember there being a focus that allows the disbanding of it
join our server lad
join the serve
sorry, I'm played only japan 🙁
I have not played italy but I do find undeletable divisions silly after annexing italy as a puppet.
Hi played only japan, I’m dad!
I landed but got pushed back to sea a week later
bit early
do you guys think a superior firepower germany would go well?
Hey, I'm from Tel-Aviv and I like HOI4.🇮🇱
SFP is good for defense build but for offense you want to stick with GB
Altough even on defense static warfare army spitit is locked behind GB too
i played as nicaragua for 3 hours
I wouldn't be able to do this in 7 hours
i had a lot of help tbf
Based central america formable
I've never seen 2 of the polish revolutionary parties fight each other
it's usually regular poland vs falangist for me
the ONE thing I was hoping not to happen happened
u gon have fun
they have so many more divisions but I think their templates are bad so I might win
What year ?
You're sure ? the have level 10 forts in the border
you can always go around you know
L10 forts at the chezloslovak border aint gunan stop u from pushing austria
You prop wont win
I managed to save the german reich as sweden im so fr
they are even level 10
L 8 or something right?
its not rare
its like a 33% or 25% chance if i remember]
they're all level one
O then you got this
did they hit like dismantle forts or something
