Can You Beat Germany As Anti-Air France?!
Ойындар
Today we're trying something rather odd on HOI4. Can You Beat Germany As Anti-Air France?! is the question, I will only build anti-air tanks and try and hold France against Germany in the WW2 simulator known as Hearts of Iron 4!

WHERE IS THE CHONK
To be fair, as long as the AA angles downward, it can shoot those blitzkrieging feckers as they cross Belgium
This is a certified anti-air classic.

Alex: "France can still be a tough nations for noobs, so why not let an expert show you how to do." Alex in Jan 1939: *PANIC*
On a seperate note, what about an Armored Car focused France? They are the only nation that gets a armored car tank designer, maybe it could use a little investigation in how good that route could be?

Armored cars aren't worth building for anything because you can do anything they can with tanks for less ic cost. For example slap 1 hmg on the interwar light tank and for 1 military xp and like half the ic of armored cars you got garrison units with excellent hardness. Just need the mp support company. If you go mobile warfare and get the one thing that makes tanks and motorized/mechanized templates free you can convert a copied armor template to a 50 width pure light tank template with mp for like 30-40 xp.

@@honeybadger6275 Initially so yeah, but I think it'd be a interesting comparison in the long term, I wonder if you can build a 9 IC tank that only requires 2 steel 1 tung with the same stats as the AC 4 unit.

@@Xeemix Might not be able to get a tank with the exact stats, but a tank is going to have better armor than an armored car and when you account for things like xp cost to make a division and how long it would take to research the best armored car vs a tank with better stats, there's really no reason to use armored cars.

@@Xeemix Yup! I mean you could probably use them in single player even though they aren't optimal but it doesn't take much to beat the braindead ai. In multiplayer it definitely wont work though.
I startee binging your videos when I was unwell for a couple of days last year. I hadn't played HoI before, and I still haven't. Love the videos though
It's impossible for alex to play hoi4 and not give away half the country immediately
We need a video entirely narrated by Lady Rambler. Alex does gameplay and Lady Rambler narrates
20:56 "It is not! I resent that! Slander is spoken, in print it's libel."
As someone who always goes anti air rather than cas I appreciate this video
17:41 As a War Thunder player, wirbelwind can be effective in their Br against other armoured and tanks.
Alex: Builds lvl 5 forts Also Alex: Why arent they attacking?
That sequence at ~ 0:40 made me do both the like and the comment
That HOI4 intro is too good!
Can you beat the USSR as Mongolia with only cavalry in place of tanks and motorized? Could be a thing!
Everyone loves when the lady joins the intro 😅

I honestly prefer anti-air over planes 9/10 times, unless I’m a major that is obligated to make air, like germany, america or the uk. But my favorite thing is going a smaller but capable European minor (i really like any of the baltics) and making Fortress Me. Just put 80 air attack in my divs, max out radar and static aa (and it’s an intuitive mix of things to get, since the radar techs buff static aa hit chance flat out before even making radars) in every state, maybe throw down a few forts in the obvious places, and then sit still and watch as my enemy politely kills their entire army on my frontline because they attacked like their air superiority meant something. It’s probably one of my favorite things to do in hoi, second only to making armored cars work in an actual division, because I’m a hipster, but that’s off topic

thats the good stuff my friend
"Has the best campaign with France ever against Germany" - later says, "I don't recommend this strategy" although that is exactly what I'm going to try this weekend.
Alex just discovered the new anti air tank meta
Alex you only need to release Tunisia, you can get Algeria as cores, if you have naval support there is no point in releasing algeria
Wait...This one was unexpected? Is it just me, or did everyone else not see the Spanish Inquisition?
Before even watching this I know it’s already higher quality love the content!!
love the videos keep up the good work
0:05 There goes my 5th pair of glasses
I tried this but as Belgium a little while ago, had only 24 divisions but made 10 2 1’s (10 infantry 2 artillery 1 anti air). They shredded the German divisions and ended up stopping the fall of France ending WW2 in 1940. I thought it would be a challenge, it was surprisingly easy (though I did go facist). I then later tried France and had no support from the British and had both Italy and Germany duck me over, though I screwed up on my on my anti air by having only a little when Germany declared. Though I held till 1942.
Nice! Gonna try this.
Alex is such a good entertainer cause he keeps us entertained

Amazing Intro Ceep em coming
For last couple of months i have seen a lot of Alex's videos. It's sad to see how world crisis stroke him: i remember millions of videos vith subs limit 400, and now its just 250
I mean why make many types of big guns when you can just make one type that works for anything.
You encircled more than 100 Axis divisons, Well done!
I love your videos, enjoy watching them for years, the other day, my gf even ask me why suddenly every intro i move my head side to side
0:03 The state of Alex rn.
With Germany you could capitulate Poland, France, and the Soviet Union without ever consuming any oil. Artillery plus AA in your divisions, attacking the Soviet Union in 1940. Your infantry division with lots of metal could not be stopped.
I think this could work, my airforce was not the best as democratic Italy but with anti air built in the north and in my main army I was able to fend off the Luftwaffe. :)
Mustache Alex is Returning!
Almost failed nnn with that encirclement
The face you used for this thumbnail just had me dying.
Harmless entertainment.
Love your videos alex
Alex's every game now after his plane design lost in FeedBackGaming's video be like...
Any reason you have a British crusader AA as the thumb nail? Great video though as always.
Maybe anti-air is king
Well done, but what if you do not cheese by not joining ww2 instantly?))
An expert playing as France! Finally a Tommy stream. 😂🤡
Hmm yes lore of anti air only
why didn´t you just take motorised aa? They still have the piercing as the normal anti air.
Well, you’ll win the air war
God it’s been so long since I watched some HOI 4
Less Alex more Lady Rambler

Hello, Today I played a Hoi4 Game as Turkey and wanted to use paratroopers. After I researched them and build transport planes, I wanted to use the paratroopers and I couldn't click the airport, because it didn't show up. But even after I reinstalled the game it didn't work. Could someone please help me?
Why would you release Algeria as a puppet when you get cores on it lmfao
Play romania in next video pls
Can you try anti air navy as the uk?
the lack of action on your supply issues is frustrating me even as a bad hoi4 player.
black sweater look good
Why do you release Algeria when you can core it via a focus
Another Video Another meta I guess
What in blazes is that hideous screeching sound at 0:12 in the background?

it´s italy what do you ecsperct from them?
Try artillery only france
so, alex playing cod when?

And he makes the worst aa tank possible. And uses it as a frontline tank... If he's alive by the end I want his head.
ngl how i play france is i do anti air light tanks with the interwar chase and light tank self propelled arty, then basic ass inf that 18width with shovel and arty have some inf for italy and germany, and make some of those 30 widths light tanks, make no air, and just kinda defeat germany in benelux with what tanks i can make by then 2 anti air batalions, and the rest mix of self propelled arty light tanks and motorized :) (no mechanized since expensive)
Keep in mind he made a lot of mistake imagine how would he do if did well
Anti air has always been pretty OP
if you build really high forts the ai wont attack you
First thing I do as France is extend the maginot manually. Level 5 forts all the way to the coast then build civs and mils. Then I can go with the aggressive side of the focus which I prefer. Works really well.
Please fix your audio Alex, your mic is distorted
Farts of iron 4
Nothing personal but I don't know why that KZreadrs feel the need for face-cams? Isn't it just extra work to record, synchronise and render? It is an artistic choice at the end of the day. With an information dense game like hearts of Iron 4 does sometimes get in the way of content. I don't know not an expert and I'm not a KZreadr you do you.
