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!

    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.

    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

    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.
