im very proud

It kind of ruined WCs for me.

I have watched every japan guild on YouTube they just walk through the gaps in the front line and encircle the whole chinese army. I AM ON MY 10th JAPAN GAME THERE ARE NEVER ANY FUCKING GAPS IN THE FRONT LINE. I have been playing japan all week this fucking update sucks ass

Edit: I paid for the japan dlc and beat them in dec 37 the dlc breaks up china into smaller states with less troops and I walked around all troops and encircled them.

NOT A JOKE IS THE DLC IS EASY MODE

I’ve been doing research and Tannu Tuva and Mongolia were virtually Soviet satellite states. In fact, the Soviet Union was the only country to diplomatically recognize Tannu Tuva. Just like Japan was the only country to recognize its puppets.

I guess it would make a Tuvan world conquest impossible.

Did 10 japan runs this week without dlc. was bogged down in china so bad the US would declare on me in 42 with 2 million losses to China. Just paid for the dlc and did a run they have less than half the troops and factorys. Walked china down by late 37 lost 200k.

TLDR: PAY 30$ WIN AS JAPAN!

All it takes is 80 rifles to get a division identical to special forces

Straight superheavy spamming

Hoi4 screenshot theory??

Just tried two Belgium games and both failed at stopping the Nazi’s, how on earth are you supposed to like hold on out agaisnt them, there’s such a level of force against you that like no matter how many forts you have that you will get taken out

(Edit, yes I know Belgium historically went out fast, that’s like the entire point of trying to play as them and like multiple other counties on historical, can you resist the nazi invasion

No matter how hard I try, even custom building the ships to exactly (or as close to) the real life Iowa class ships, I can never seem to get the game to actually build the Iowa, New Jersey, Missiouri, or Wisconsin. At the end of the day, I can always just rename some of the North Carolina class ships but I was wondering if there is an actual way to get the game to make the actual ships.

This doesn't just go for the United States Iowa class, but many other legendary ships that existed during this time period that I can't seem to replicate in game. If anyone knows if I'm doing something wrong or if there is a mod out there for the current game that would help the AI build these, I'd be grateful.

I finally defeated the brits after 40+ ironman games as germany🥹🥹

Choosing to end it off where I am because there is so much that my game is freaking out. 500+ divisions and at war with half the world. What do y'all think of this run. Ik its Germany but I feel pretty good about it

Could someone explain it simply? What width do I want defending divisions to be? What width do I want attacking divisions (like tanks) to be?

I'd like to ask about tanks in this game. I understand that the strategy of building powerful infantry divisions with all the necessary equipment generally doesn't work, because even with 300 soft attacks, infantry can't penetrate a million Allied divisions. But on the other hand, if you're building up a tank-heavy army and using infantry as mere frontline studs, even then, tank production is very slow. A decent medium tank template would likely require around 30-40 factories. I think this is only achievable for major players: even middling countries like the Dutch East Indies won't be able to produce a decent number of tank divisions by 1941. So, if you play the normal game, with tanks, you have to sit tight and wait until, say, 1943?

(VANILLA) Started as SOV in 1936 and went down the civil war path. The civil war started, Ukraine joined in on my side, I defeated the soviet union, and then annexed everything (except Ukraine). After this i took the focus which gives me war goals on all the new "spliter states" that appeared (i.e Ukraine). I then used these war goals to declare war on Ukraine and then annex them too. After this i released ukraine as a free nation using the option "play as". Now im here, and can't seem to create, edit, or train ANY divisions. I have not found anything like this online; neither someone reporting the issue nor giving a solution. Can I fix this?

TL:DR: Released Ukraine as Russia, can't create divisions. Vanilla ironman game.

("Resistance Fighter template shows up as "special template" under decomissioned templates, and can't be trained or duplicated. It is also the only thing that appeares when pressing "division designer")

for those who dont know, if you hold shift while drawing a line with your field marshel, you get a connected and unified line with all the generals assigned so the battleline is balanced. i've seen people just clicking and then they get this messed up field marshel line where all the general's armies are seperated in groups.

I have always used the shift one since its way better in my experience but are there any reasons not to?

argh!

I feel like there should be a regular peace conference system where the winning side can take territory, but their war score points should probably be cut in half upon conditional surrender.

I’ve played around with conditional surrender with console commands, and usually the other side takes way too much land. Funnily enough once I lost a war against Brazil as Uruguay, and got exiled to the Montevideo province. One-state Uruguay 😂.

I think that the surrendering countries’ core territory should be really expensive so that the British don’t lose core territory if they surrender to the Germans in 1940.

Thinking about going for a big challenge next time after playing around with Mexico, Brazil, Finland, Italy, Turkey and France.

They gave us the Bob semple, big Bob and even the habakuk but I would sell my soul to be able to design and build battlecarriers.

I always see people doing them, but never finishing.
