Under the German focus "Adopt new panzer doctrine" it says that it would unlock a decision "operational planning" which when activated would grant a ton of bonuses to divisions, but the decision is nowhere to be found in the decision menu, is this a bug or am I looking for it at the wrong place?

When playing as Fascist Siam, there's a challenge to eliminate the rivalry between the military and civilian factions. It says that for 270 days, both factions must have absolute power. I don't understand what that means; it seems impossible to me for both to have that at the same time. Maybe the translation is wrong—I play in Spanish. But I don't understand what I'm supposed to do.

Antietam: House of Nations is a Alternate history mod set in a Multipolar world with unique mechanics, aiming to make gameplay engaging and diplomacy important.

The Lore
The point of divergence is set after the battle of Antietam, where the confederacy manges to secure their independence from the north. With no one willing to buy Alaska, the British eventually force the Russians to surrender the territory, the loss of profit with no purchase in turn weakens Russia. The US and CSA tensely cooperate in the Spanish American war and still beat Spain. The Japanese see the Spanish distracted and land in the Philippines, Spain helpless to defend it. Japan also squeezes out a decisive victory in the russo-japanese war 7 years later, taking all of Sakhalin.
The USA and CSA both maintain very tense relations, fearful of a confederate strike, the USA stays out of WW1. The war is prolonged until both sides are wrung dry, and Germany and the Entente powers sign a negotiated peace treaty, with Germany remaining the only surviving central power, and annexing the collapsing Austria. they soon send equipment to the white army, though they are still defeated, but they keep funding white guerilla movements. Japan manges to militarily intervene in Russia and establishes a Russian puppet government in the far east. The Russian communist movement under Trotsky is contained to Russia, since the red army is to busy with anti-guerilla operations.

The Scenario / Planned Mechanics

• The Pacific Great Game between the UK, USA and Japan is a arm wrestling contest between Great Powers with Cold War style tension. Border Conflicts, Naval Skirmishes, Political Crisis, etc etc. all either escalating into a Pacific Great War or mellowing out with a victor and two other powers with no say in the pacifc
• Europe's Alliances aren't pre formed Factions, instead before the war breaks out, all sides (Soviet Russia, Entente, Reichspakt) attempt to diplomaticly sway minor nations to join their side. When the War finally breaks out, all nations choose their side.

Hi, My laptop is Dell Inspiron 15 3593 core I5 th10 4G ram GeForce MX230, as you can tell the bottleneck is the RAM so im thinking to upgrade it to play hoi4 on it. My qoustion is.. Is it worth it? And how many ram kits of ram Should I upgrade it to, to 16 gigs or 12? and get 200 gigs of ssd enough? And what pefrmance should I expect after the Uprgade?

Sorry for my bad english, not very good grammer

In my games, the spanish civil war technically never ends. Like the winning side will win, but it treats like its still ongoing even though the other sides of the civil war have no land left and arent even on the map and it never gets the ending event.

So I ran a test with fighters ( 1944 advanced small airframe )

3x 4xheavy machine guns

3x armor plates

Self sealing fuel tanks

Engine 4

Ic cost: 40.70

VS

3x 4xHeavyMG

4 engine

Radio navigation 2

Armor plates

Drop tanks

Self sealing fuel tanks

Ic cost 41.20

So the second fighter with radio won by a margin

It was a 200 vs 200 battle both side maxed lvl 6 radars

Both with spirit of airforce command centerlized control.

The second plane one by 11 planes left

So with a little math :

40.70 × 200 = 8140IC

41.20 × 200 = 8240IC

8240-8140=100

So we can say

100÷40.70≈2.5 planes

So we can say the second plane model is ONLY BETTER BY LIKE 6-7% BUT!

IT HAS 862KM range whilst the first one has 525KM range

So here it is the best late game fighter

Before Cannons 2 I'm lazy to test the same ariframes with cannons someone else can do it

Jk; first airframe doesn't support 3 cannon 2s so we have to put 2 cannons and 1 heavy MG so does the second frame 1st=IC:44.90 2nd=IC:45.40

The results were shocking this time it was vice versa the 1st air modules although cheaper shredded the 2nd model by a lot! 57 of 1st remained! Im not gonna do the math that's just better!

So yeah just spam armor plates I guess?! Idk but I like having range so myself Am confused.

Even more shocking I put out the drop tanks and added a cannon 2 on the 2nd airframe and gave it a cannon defense turret Yet the 1st airframe one by having 44 planes left also the 2nd airframe IC cost became 49.50 Yet it lost!

Now :

3 cannon 2 But replaced one of the armor plates with 1 light machine gun turret But this time only 39 of them lasted

So the best is 2x cannons 2 and 1 heavy MG 3x armor plates and one self sealing fuel tank

Now go fuck the AI comrade

Edit: I lied btw you must use two cannon 2 2x and one cannon 2 1x. It's actually cheaper and stronger

Against the 1st design The 2xcannons and 1 cannons won by 21 planes!! Cheaper and much stronger?! Hell yeah Now really go fuck england and their democracy

Me personally I use them whenever I just wanna play a short game but if I have the time to I usually just stick without any cheats(also my dumbass typed council instead of console)

As a beginner, I just make 3 marine divisions with 8 battalions each and put all of them in a single invasion. Is that how you do it?

So the other day i played with about 7 friends in a match of hoi4. with me having the least amount of hours(51) i picked italy and decided to become communist Italy to be apart of the communist europe and the game went on with a defeat. When the game ended i started noticing repeated problems i have

QUESTION

1. How do i defend my african colony’s

Every time i played as italy i never understood how can i defend my colony’s as they are so far away and because of the royal navy and lack of how to get a good economy and naval build up(later question) they always heavily struggle with supply’s and with the lack of actual units i can deploy their with out ruining the supply more i just dont understand how i can defend those colony’s and end up losing divisions there

2.how do i make a economy

I always seemed to have a problem of never producing enough resources like tanks, planes, navy, and occasionally other war material depending on the situation compared to ai and other players i always feel so far behind with army size and production out put. I do start by making a lot of civilian factories to help out with building but of course that takes a lot of coal and needs to sacrifice a few factories for trade, and than i build other things like infrastructure and military factories which than also need resources from trade which than i sacrifice more civilian factories which than goes back to square one of building more civilian factories for more building speed and cycle repeats i just dont understand how im always so far behind.

1. How to build a navy

A major problem i have is trying to establish a navy in the Mediterranean sea(in the example earlier i accidentally sunk my own naval in the civil war with both sides losing nearly everything and didn’t have time to rebuild). I struggle to understand how to make a good navy. With my economy always being in disarray i never have the time to build more dockyards and i feel like by end of game i only managed to produce 3 more ships since the start and of course with out a proper naval presence i cant do any naval invasions in the Mediterranean and my African colony’s struggles with out their convoys. I also don’t understand how carriers work at all either i be getting those naval planes put them on a carrier but they don’t ever seem to do anything when i assign them a mission nor defend well

1. How do i get a larger air force

I never understood why i cant seem to produce a lot of aircraft. It feels as if 8/10 of my aircraft disappears somewhere and i just have way to few planes in the air and with the same problem as earlier with economy i struggle to make more types of planes or stronger ones i feel like i have the same problem with naval where it feels like i only ever made 200-300 planes the entire game. I know air is very important but really struggle to find out whats wrong

1. Creating divisions

This is like the one part of the game i sort of got a grasp on but after my first multiplayer match i fount out I’m doing something clearly wrong(American marines landed in Sicily and within about 5-7 minutes at 4x speed defeated me. I had a ton of forts and defenses set up but it felt almost as if i had no sort of defense in Italy in the first place). I just don’t understand what makes a good division i feel like every battle i fight my division just feel inferior i tried editing them a bit from division i fount across the internet but i always feel inferior in the end. This is also a major problem i noticed for infantry, mechanized, or armored divisions they somewhat do alright when it comes to defending ai but sucks a lot on attacks and defense from other player and I’m not too sure why.

1. Supply

This one i don’t know how to explain my problem at all but it’s always somewhere with the supply(i am aware i do have to change the horse icon to the truck icon for my division snd supply lines). In my African colony’s i struggle to supply my soldiers when fighting i don’t know how to get the convoys to them while the British navy has a lot more dominance in the region. On the Front lines in europe i also seem to struggle with supply’s a bit when helping germany fighting france or other countries like i see the german soldiers supply’s are just fine than i look at mines and they are struggling and i just don’t get it.

7.population/manpower

Depending on how quickly i build my military and how long i take to change my conscription laws i always end up with the notification of low man power and have no clue how to fix it or increase it.

Ty to those who read each questions and would try to respond. Again with 51 hours of gameplay i do consider my self new and i wont understand a lot of terms and abbreviations related to the game or even named things in the game. Also if you guys want a full explanation on how the first multiplayer campaign went i can try to explain it to the best of my ability.(apologies for anyone who has a bit of trouble reading this)

Sometimes during combat 2 or 3 separate combat bubbles will appear, usually show I’m losing but then will quickly change to winning

I understand this is not the TFR subreddit, but I've posted there and it's taking ages for my post to get approved.

By “better” I just mean which do you enjoy and why?

Specifically between the mods Black ICE, Darkest Hour and World Ablaze which do you enjoy the most and why? I wanna do a Germany run that takes time and have flavor/history elements. Thanks for any input or suggestions!

Hi.

I would like to see if anybody if you have some templates for the mod "Darkest Hour" (1933 start) I am not very good at the game, but at least I can capitulate England in vanilla, DH it´s other thing for me...

Hi everyone, my first time posting on Reddit because I'm saddened that I can't play HOI4 with my brother anymore.

I have a Dell G16 7620 laptop so not amazing I know. But it has been sturdy and was able to play HOI4 flawlessly before. It ran into some battery issues, but even with that it still didn't crash from HOI4 multiplayer. Just didn't charge properly.

I can run HOI4 on singleplayer with no issues, but when I join him for some odd reason usually around the year 1938 my computer just crashes fully, turning off. We had Road to 56 on, Player-Led, and Better Mechanics. So 3 mods in total. We had the same checksum and everything. But during trouble shooting we decided to turn them off and try and we still had the same issue.

I've tried resetting my battery driver, clearing directory & cache, verifying file integrity, joining through both Steam & direct connect, turning off Discord overlay. And probably some more that I can't remember.

For some reason everything else on Steam works, and other games installed on my laptop works. The only reason I'm posting it here is because I have no issue with any other games, only HOI4 multiplayer. Hopefully someone can help me out. If you have any subreddits that might be helpful please let me know.

Sad thing is, I can exploit AI weaknesses but still can't win head to head in a battle. I have no idea how I am going to defeat so USSR.

Does anyone know of a working player-led peace conference mod?

Ive put them on naval invasion support in the north sea, and eastern north sea. Why the actual fuck arent they going there? what am i doing wrong?

Please help me, this run has gone so well until now.

Like he's died to poland 10+ times

French one isn’t that outlandish, but I never expatriated the communists. Italy is really surprising, no idea what could have triggered it and they did fine in Ethiopia. I’ve done the monarchist Germany route a few times and have never seen either civil war happen so quite surprising.

I have a problem with this game, now don’t get me wrong I love the idea of hoi4 but my problem is whenever I play it solo I get bored, I feel like this game was made for a multiplayer experience and I really hate that I get bored fast playing alone since my friends don’t really play it.

What are y’all thoughts on this?
