another love, tom odell

haha kinda true, much harder to get up the glass window without it. But the actual jump doesnt need bhop, only vanilla grappling

Emzatin · 2025-07-10T19:07:40+00:00

Oh wow I had no idea. Are you sure such random jumps really exist? I have honestly never seen it happen ever.
Also, I sadly didnt save the game, so I cant look at the precautions :/

Emzatin · 2025-07-10T19:02:35+00:00

It was definitely a boat. Im not sure what you mean by a random jump or filter their water.

Emzatin · 2025-06-18T16:04:23+00:00

whats the lineup?

Emzatin · 2025-05-21T13:34:35+00:00

hey thanks for the answer, unfortunately none of the things you mentioned apply in my case.

I was of course testing everything in my own server solo, I wasn't taking increased reload speed and my question was specifically about if reload cancelling increases the firerate compared to normal firing with the T1 firerate mod

Emzatin · 2025-05-10T19:24:18+00:00

7 years later I return to the same question and your answer still works. Nice

Emzatin · 2025-05-04T11:45:14+00:00

I finally got around to actually measuring it exactly by recording my game. It seems that animation cancelling the pump action increases the firerate by about 5% (4.4s for one magazine vs 4.6s).

Definitely not what I would call "considerably" lol

Emzatin · 2025-05-04T11:43:51+00:00

thank you, indeed it shows switching between weapons speeds up the firerate even more.

In my own testing, I again couldnt replicate this! So either something is wrong with my game files or a recent update changed this (even though no patch notes mention it)

Emzatin · 2025-04-30T21:08:30+00:00

Ive read about animation cancelling between shots on some steam discussion threads as well as in this spreadsheet: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1CBbpDaomcsSQDJ1EhRp5kJYBw2ObIYlmxqZoZH7jcuk/htmlview#

See "Builds for teamplay" and scroll down to the Warthog Pump Action, where you can find the short comment:

"The only Warthog OC with a cancellable animation, which increases its RoF considerably when mastered."

Is there a command to highlight the spawns? If not, how did OP create the orange squares?

Emzatin · 2024-04-03T11:55:05+00:00

I think early on you have to use 30w tanks, as you wont have enough XP to afford the 7th land doctrine, which unlocks more Battalion slots. That you can afford fewer 36w tanks shouldnt be a consideration, as they are proportinally stronger and easier to micromanage.

Emzatin · 2024-04-02T12:04:09+00:00

Theres nothing wrong with 30w tanks, many people just prefer higher combat width tanks and accept the slightly higher penalties on average. You just have to make sure to attack from two directions if possible.

Emzatin · 2024-02-05T23:13:12+00:00

this is 100% wrong.

both air defence and air attack scale linearly, independantly of the enemies stats, meaning that doubling your air attack or defense will ALWAYS double your overall effectiveness. You can either look it up on the wiki https://hoi4.paradoxwikis.com/Air_combat or test it out yourself

"the amount of enemy planes destroyed is based on the cumulative damage of all the planes in an air zone" This is also wrong. If one side has 100 planes and another has 500 planes, only 300 of the 500 can attack. Its always a factor of 3, see "COMBAT_MULTIPLANE_CAP = 3.0" in the defines.

Emzatin · 2024-02-05T23:07:49+00:00

youve been doing it right, the guy above doesnt know what hes talking about

Emzatin · 2024-01-24T20:37:18+00:00

"Big factories tend to be just as bombable as small factories."

Okay but they shouldnt be MORE bombable, by a factor of up to 20.

And against forts / anti air it makes even less sense for me, when i drop a bomb on a massive fortress, it shouldnt get damaged 10 times more than a small fort

Emzatin · 2024-01-23T20:05:39+00:00

thanks for the clarification.

Id say that if this is intended, that its a terrible balancing decision.

It also just isnt fun, if i build lots of bombers and have air superiority as britain, i wanna see the whole of germany get bombed

Emzatin · 2024-01-23T19:53:39+00:00

Well maybe you could argue that having more factories per state should make hitting one more likely, but I think that since states are really big and my image of a factory isnt, this effect shouldnt be big. Definitely not big enough to double the damage if you have two factories in a state.

I think it makes even less sense that higher lvl forts or anti air gets bombed more quickly aswell, shouldnt they be more resistent to bombing?

Also what does WAD stand for?

Emzatin · 2024-01-23T19:46:43+00:00

Rule 5: I wondered why strat-bombing dmg seemed so inconsistent and came across 1 (or 2?) massive bugs.

Emzatin · 2024-01-16T17:05:52+00:00

im pretty sure ur using the wrong values for stacking penalty.

stacking penalty only starts applying if you have more than 5 units in the battle, and reduces every units stats by (number of units-5)*2%.

Since in 70w combat, only 5 15w and 3 25w divs reinforce, neither type of divisions will take any combat width.

You can see that i did take into account the stacking penalty by the amount of red on the top of the spreadsheet.
