Something I've noticed in these kinds of runs. Doing Rhineland, then going into Army Innovations, using one research slot to rush the basic medium tank, lets you get a really good tank, (the Panzer IV) that works well into 1941. The reason you rush it is because that way, you can get a couple tanks, and the production cap's been reached, so you'll just start pumping out tanks divisions. Also, in my experience, having 7/8 lights tanks with high speed can work very well. Assuming you have the Truck production, (meaning 5-7 mils) you'd be able to double the amount of tanks you can field, while still having 3/4ths of the soft attack, and the ability to basically teleport around your opponent.

Regarding your tank template at 9:29, I think motor recon can be removed, as testing shows it's more effective during defence rather than attack. Also I personally prefer slightly higher org, so I'd replace few tanks with motor. This allows me to do dangerous encirclements where I need the tank divs to fight 3-4 tiles, back to back.

I remeber when I did this on brutal before NSB launched after watching Dankus' run. Took me a few attempts to survive but once you get rolling, there's no stopping the geman war machine. Love to see, that it still works, was worried with all the changes to supply and air power, that it might be impossible. Perhaps going to give it another try

I love that ending casualty exchange, also I'm pretty sure that when you were cleaning up an encirclement in Belgium near the start I saw the enemy divisions as 187 in battle and 59 in reserve which is absolutely insane especially since they all died

Its always nice ending the day with a Bitt3rsteel video!

Unfortunately do not think this is possible anymore, too much manpower loss so guaranteed loss in places like china/jap

when youre working with limited time/eco i would very much suggest doing 30 width light tank spa divs especially against ai the spa has enough soft attack to basically hold/attack into most stuff and about 3 divs of that as france for instance is enough to hold against germany with the rest of your army being 10 widths or 18 widths (basic inf)

The way you continue is now that you've taken out the Soviet Union, find a part of the Eastern Front to hold and let the AI batter itself against a prepared line or waste time taking Siberia as you focus on Spain, firmly securing Continental Europe. Then go for taking out GB, which will remove the base for most AI invasions. That will allow you to again shift focus, pushing South into the Levant, setting up a defensive lin in Iran while you push down into Africa, taking out the Suez and securing the Mediterranean.

Honestly this isn't done until we see a peace conference. Cause you've yet to win. And saying "It's 1942 and I'm tried". I can say it's only 1942. You have like 3 more years to play. Keep playing my dude. Go for the win.

I've always wondered if you know that you can click on the skull icon in the casualties list to sort them by who has lost the most men. You usually seem to be searching the entire list.

Continue this campaign, it's satisfying seeing all those 100 divisions encirclements

UR MIC is making a high pitched sound that makes it impossible for me to listen (ear sensitivity) for future reference you can remove it through audacity using a high pass filter under the frequency (to lower volume of sounds above selected frequency) the frequency is probably 7000+ hz, so to identify the exact frequency of the sound you can use a spectral analysis (go to Analyze -> Plot Spectrum while a part of the audio in which the sound is audible is selected) and look for a peak in higher frequencies, which your voice and sound effects would never reach alternatively there are more precise methods if you're a perfectionist, you can find tutorials on youtube good video nonetheless! keep it up

27:22 In singleplayer, some hoi4 tubers say meta is "spacemarines". Tank division has breakthrough like as spacemarines but they have speed also. But I think you should consider using them, because instead of constraring tanks to single divisions, you can send them to inf. divisions to make lots of more spacemarine divisions and they're cheaper. Efficiency-performance division. I am not sure, it has to be calculated however. By the way, it's fun to think about that France's tactic od dividing tanks all over divisions may work while playing hoi4.

@cpt.john_price

Жыл бұрын

It wont work, the tank is used for speed and breakthrough to get to vp asap while the enemy still bogged down in the frontline. spacemarines while having some breakthrough from the tank, they still as slow as an infantry which is not good for "snaking" to vp. and spacemarines took a big hit on industry too considering the 90% of the army is infantry so many tank is needed. so the best use of tank in this situation is like this in the video, this tactic were used for many disaster save vid too by alex the rambler and isp for encircling and destroying enemy div.

I just played this mod a week ago for the first time! It was the most fun ive ever had in Hoi4!

I found the best Strat for the one year build at least when I did it before no step back was to go full offense, grab self propelled light tank artillery , 20 withs just rush down Western Europe asap like every hour counts, but you gotta kill France, benilux, Spain Portugal and lastly Italy Czechoslovakia, UK with a quick sea lion then pushing into Russia and Poland was easy when all the west is secure. That Strat would not work as well now though maybe with the new logistics system now id have to give it another try myself

You don't NEED armour in singleplayer, but you also don't NEED frontline orders either.

I think you had a lucky run here. When I played, Vichy France somehow called itself into the war and dragged in my other puppets as well, who all instantly capped and destroyed my front lines. I also got naval invaded nonstop after the first month. Also, mediums being moved to 1938 tech makes this harder as well.
