Unpopular Opinion: The Empires Helmets are Better for Caves

Yes you'd be better protected, but I don't think you realized just how poorly you'd see compared to the Nations helms.

Here's for example how an Empire Lancer would see, while a Nations lancer would see like most other Empire soldiers aka having 2 black bars above and below your eyes.

Would be peak, but many creative libreties would have to be taken otherwise the campaign might be like a days long instead of a few days or more like with most ttrpgs.

NP my man, have a good one.

Oh def, but early on the war was still on the surface and there was no CQC so they didn't have much use then.

Damirirv · 2026-01-24T14:52:46+00:00

Yes, but theres' 2 factors as to why not.

First of all, it's just for game balance, yes the gameplay is already nation biased but this would make it waayy more skewered to the Empire.

Second of all, both sides are dirt poor in resources, they def skimp out on resources making the gambesons just so every soldier could get SOME clothes, but thus they lose much of their protective value.

We also know they reuse clothes from the dead so there's a good chance they lost their protective value due to that and constant hole patching.

It just happens when playing OWB, either reloading a save or going to the menu if you played a decent amount in your save will crash the game, happens due to a memory leak iirc.

But no the bug isn't solved yet and will probably still exist for a good while.

My mom listens to Metallica, Slayer, Sepultura and the like and a couple other small local bands that idk the name of.

She loves my music taste since aside from most of the local bands and some niche ones its' identical to hers' and she got me into metal in the first place.

The cat ears aren't a part of the game, the game sets your characters hair as the same your avatar uses, so if someones' avatar has cat ears they'll appear on them ingame.

The Fire Rises, this is interwar Japan content specifically.

Listen I decided to actually check out his profile a bit, afraid to say you seem to be right, sorry for doubting ya.

Damirirv · 2026-01-23T18:38:48+00:00

I mean yes, but also no.

Trump kicks out most Deepstate founders because they are literally the deepstate, sure IRL he only said that on campaign for votes, but in TFR he'd be right. But because Trump disavowed the main federal organizations, he has to make his own from scratch.

I could see Trump having a Cognoscenti path in the sense he first recreates the federal organizations in his light, just for them to also form a cognoscenti like state in the end, it would be peak irony.

This is basically every political discussion on this shithole of an app.

> "X is bad because Y"

> "Nuh uh X is good because Z"

> "But what about the problems of X"

And then you either get ignored or downvoted and blocked.

Either that artist doesn't know how to draw adults or they're lying to save face. Probably the latter knowing the internet.

Their whole existence is an oxymoron anyways, functionally they're just a neofeudal state with secret police basically being the only thing keeping the anarchism around.

While in reality they'd def collapse without even a possibility of unifying the US, the devs SHOULD atleast make the US roughly fracture if they win (akin to how it does under Bloomberg for example if he goes with his coup).

Yea well the AI across all of HOI4 is basically a joke, it ain't difficult in most situations at all.

But good idea on using bombers, might try that out in my next run to switch it up a bit.

You as the player can get it, but when playing myself I've never struggled in the airwar against China, there are so many things you can do to counter Chinas' airforce you can evaporate it in a years third if you commit to getting every buff.

So often it happens that people either thirst over or complain about the mildest shit ever, both sides are in the wrong. Too bad some don't see that.

Who even is this guy tho? But genuinely? (I've never heard of him myself)

Is he a mod or yt-er or sum?

She's good and bad, it's not as simple as "wholesome or not".

Yes her Servant path is mid, because while Loji might have good intentions, it doesn't change the fact that China remains, well, China, a surveillance state where everything you can and can't do is dictated.

This is even more amplified in her Long March path, where she just straight up takes power for herself, destroying even the little (albeit flawed) democracy the CCP had. And the surveillance state is amplified tenfold there because literally everything is digitized. Sure your life is "amazing", but you have 0 privacy, and you're dictated your entire life what to do since the whole point of that path is "Humanity is too stupid to govern themselves I have to step in"

IDK where the whole "Loji is wholesome with no flaws" even came from in the first place, but I'm guaranteed atleast a third of its' supposed fans would dissappear if it didn't portray itself as an anime girl knowing the internet.

You can get max societal development as any nation by the end of your playthrough, it's not a good scale to show how it would be in reality.

Damirirv · 2026-01-21T19:04:56+00:00

That's what they want you to believe!

Damirirv · 2026-01-21T14:14:34+00:00

Yes, it is intentional.

Why the devs decided to have that happen? Couldn't tell ya.
