That 10% armor from the order of the brave can be explained very easily. One of the soldiers simply takes the medal and uses it as a shield!

Cover the tank in so many medals it acts as ablative armor. @@TheSuomirambo

They melt the gold medal down and attach a micro layer of extra gold onto the tank. Probably gonna be like a few atoms thick. That obviously translates to +10% armor.

Gold plated tanks sound like something the Saudis would do

16:53 The medal is actually around 10 feet in diameter and 10 inches thick and put in front the tank as a shield.

The event "fall of berlin" fires only if the ocupation goes for certain nations, i belive French, British, USA, Soviets and Polish. So here for example if you gave away the ocupation to the French, even though there are no actual French divisons you would get the Event "French forces assault Berlin" or smthing like that.

For the medal I’d attribute it to better positioning of the tanks. If you know how to angle them properly towards enemies you might get a slightly higher chance for a shell to ricochet. Alternatively it could be attributed to experience in maintenance.

Fun fact: Saltsjöbaden Agreement is the reason that Tesla is struggling with Swedish unions at the moment. It essentially places what would be government mandated labor laws (including minimum wage, we don't have one in Sweden) and makes it the problem of the Collective Bargaining Agreement. Tesla refuses to sign the CBA, and the right-wing PM doesn't want to get involved ("the laws are clear, they can solve it themselves") since the state would have to regulate so much of the labor market, and other unions can pressure Tesla to sign by sympathy strikes. The crux is that once a CBA is signed, workers are legally restricted in their right to strike. The labor movement in Sweden was largely a syndicalist movement 100 years ago, which the soc dems now say "that was our idea all along!" but the Saltsjöbaden Agreement principle has worked well in conjunction with a strong welfare state.

This is the real reason why the medal gave +10 armor: The guy getting the medal has a realisation the moment they pinned the medal to his uniform. He thought that what if we strap sandbags, extra tracks and even IKEA furniture to the tanks sides, front and back it will provide extra protection. And yes this is historical. Also don't argue with me, I'am Swedish!

I absolutely love licorice. In fact I am going to the shops now and going to buy as much of it as I possibly can. I am not angry, just peckish.

Actually, you're mistaken, Italy actually had a formidable and most importantly, MODERN navy. This is a big reason as to why Hitler chose to ally with Italy

The experience and unit level leadership can conceptually at least lead to tactics - like close vs loose formations, armor angling, maybe even improvised armor like extra tracks stacked on the weak spots of the armor vehicles. Better use of hulled down positions and terrain, perhaps. Or, or, they literally pin the citation metal on the lead tank for that extra .08 cm of spaced armor?

I would imagine the medal giving you some kind of higher priority maybe? I would say it'd be like the side plating but that's already a tank design module. But in a real context it'd make sense to give your real gold medal units the best equipment, like every tiger is the same on paper but maybe the welds are cleaner on one, or maybe the up-armoring was done a bit better on a few at the depot and higher quality tanks are earmarked for higher quality units. Same way rifles with really bad bores/stocks/sights etc. were given to civil/national guard units historically.

Why not both? Well you see, there's this thing called "money", that all states have to be concered about how and where to allocate.

1:38 money, money is why we can’t do both

The medal is obviously giant and made of vibranium Or Some soldier is wearing it on their chest and it saved them from dying from a bullet

16:55 well a few reason could be for that: 1. the medal is initial metal which makes for more armour. 2. in the IDF there is a slang word called ווסאח (wassakh) it means kinda like "cool" as in to serve in a particular corp, so many predrafted people want to go to this brigade or that brigade because it has participated in this battle in this war etc etc which makes it more 'wassakh' meaning more cool and thus there is higher motivation to serve under that unit.

Medal's armor buff is pretty easy to understand. They slap that medal on the front armor panel of the tank. More metal on tank = More armor

Naturally the +10% armor buff comes from you bringing honor to your ancestors and they protect you in battle.

Love your channel man. I wanna see you play the world ablaze mod just once.

the medal makes you recognize that division as a strong tank division, they know how to fight around tanks maximizing their armour. So now in your simulation, as a high general, you know they make better use of the armor component of their division

they pin the metal to the front of the tank clearly like how teddy roosevelt survived his gunshot

The 10% armor could be the experience they've gained in how to effectivly use armor. And by default their armour is increased

It''s a very big medal stapled onto the armor as additional plating

I'm a minute into the video, but I can assure you that yes, this is the first playthrough of [Brown Ideology] Sweden that I've ever seen.

Thats actually a pretty nice path!

Dave you silly willy. They put a purity seal on the tank and that's why it has more armor.

There is no way you did pressed Historical AI focus, absolutely no freaking way

The Medal allows him to requisition extra steel plates to slap on the front of the tank. Or something.

Bravest, most courageous soldier gets medal, because he has balls of steel = +10% armor In Soviet Russia, explanation is that medals are made of stalinium, same effect...

Well then, you silly Billy, obviously that's just a REALLY big medal and is made of some cool alloy, so that's how it gives more armor

They simply make a really big metal that covers the whole tank.

Truthfully I have no idea about the armor medal but the way I always imagined it is that anti-tank weaponry and other tanks are vastly more effective at piercing armor if shooting against the broadside of the tank straight on (as when angled there's always the chance of deflections etc), so I picture the medal means the tank crew are more experienced and thus are about to angle to tank more effectively to defend against enemy fire better? So its not so much it increases the tanks actual armor but they are 10% better at utilizing the armor the tank has to not be pierced?

I am the precise opposite of angry. I am pleased. For I am the old enemy stirring.

A regiment that has been assigned a medal is likely to be prioritized for higher quality equipment (which can be equated to extra armor)

Each soldier is covered in metals like a North Korean general. The metals deflect bullets.

The path that nobody does: Also my first Sweden gameplay

The medal itself is giving them more armor, assuming every person in the division gets one. Hmmm... that would be a lot of +10% armor.

16:56 It's probably supposed to reflect the experience that they earned in the process of earning the medal.

The fun part is that Sweden actually has a pretty large military-industrial complex, being the major weapon manufacturer. It was top 10 some years ago.

they put the medal on the tank. More metal, more armour.

came here to comment the same thing XD

Put the medal on the outside of the tank = more armor

You just stick the medal to the tank and boom, more armor

They nerfed lend-lease hard with this DLC but they added market system so you gain some you lose some. These days my favorite lend-leaser is Turkey because of that thing they have that let them do it earlier than others.

FYI, General Paul has an enthralling Wikipedia page. I very strongly recommend checking it out.

16:57 they were given metal, not a medal.

Lore of NOBODY Does THIS Sweden Path momentum 100

Love ur aa tank name

Of course it is from the will of steel and believe from the soldier that harden the armor. Hey, if it work for orks (WAAAGH) then it is good enough for human.

Finland just exists in Karelia now because both Sweden and the Soviet Union ran out of points.

Ah yes, another playthrough another bathtubs lore

Armor is metal, medal is metal. Stick the medal on the tank = more armor

now i know

Sweeden looks very sus in the miniature 🤨

Hey, I challenge you to form the Eternal Swedish Empire

Lol that's a wacky path you didn't lie.

I love when he said its sweeden time and sweedened all over the place!

Okay, this was very wonky. But that's what makes it way more interesting. More wacky stuff Dave, pretty please Edit: 16:55 I imagine them glueing the medal to the tank so it deflects the tank shells like in a cartoon

Due to family/life obligations, I no longer have the time to play HOI4. But, I do have the time to watch interesting Feedback Gaming HOI4 vids. Thank you!

Make a video for the confederated finno-russian republics its incredibly op in my opinion.

well considering Sweden one of the few countries that'd has built their own national tank Germany/France England usa [Argentina had their own tank but was ended in 2010] South Africa and Russia, India, Israel unsure of who else though no one else i can't think off builts there own tank

I mean technically Sweden helped Germany more than anyone.

Easy, the medal is slopped, so it adds ricochet chance and depth

The 10% armor is easy: you take the medal and put it on the weakest spot of the tank. Congratulations! Now it will deflect even a Karl mortar shell!

Image if we could increase welfare everywhere, in the entire world to eliminate war support, and remove all countries ability to wage war.

As an American, I am so angry

medal bring luck

Taxes and Budget, is why. There has to be give and take. If your already providing a huge welfare state and your nation's taxes are already super high, increasing military without decreasing welfare would cause even more taxes.because a higher budget would be needed. I'm personally in favor for a small welfare state and ppl choosing how they want to spend thier own money.

I HATE norways new portrait, I need answers. Why are him and Finland the only ones who changed? Why is the art style different? Make up your mind, give them all new gross art or leave it the same that matches the rest of the game

Everyone goes monarchist because we all secretly want the old ways. JK jk

im angie

I love Communist Sweden, it's the most broken shit of all time.

This indeed is the first fascist sweden video I have ever seen

Sweden actually has a very big military industrial complex, probably the biggest in the world compared to out population. Soo you can actually combine it with a welfare state.

Could you please do something with Netherlands?

Simpzy did a fascist Sweden

Cuz they are swedes, the cant multitask

I feel like the fascist path isn't that rare. Ater all it's usually always the path with the most map painting. And I don't know about the new DLC, but at least for No Step Back the monarchist path has not been the most popular. Monarchist paths are just the loud minority in the community and with all the streamers/youtubers only doing those.

The strange thing is even though historically Sweden was neutral during ww2. The last war Sweden was in was against Napoleon. But I just had a game as Germany, and they sided with the allies. With historical focuses on.
