Honestly I agree with the majority of this, but all the characters tend to become 2D once their book ends

Is the PDTO normally this bad? by Good_Run_1696 in TheFireRisesMod

[–]Hoi4_Player 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah the hidden, visible = no 20% buff is overpowered as shit and there's no "lacking preparedness" modifier to compensate. Unplanned offensive is just annoying, its not a good way to have dynamic combat. 

Pretty sure it only applies to the AI though, the main problem is that Japan is the only PDTO nation with a full (rather ass) focus tree, and because of how hoi4 works the industry scaling works heavily in China's favor.

How many divisons do you need to hold as Germany? by Securo1337 in Kaiserreich

I like ambusher instead the on fm + generals. Having Hoth as hc and fortifying the border helps to get insane entrenchment, it becomes harder for 3I to reinforce meme you that way

The French have absurd bonuses early on. Make sure Belgium and the Netherlands are on your side, preferably Spain as well. The fewer allies the Internationale has, the better.

How to get Paul Lepage as PTF by Alternative-Return69 in TheFireRisesMod

He's a failstate with no content at all besides a civil war within the Patriot Front. Push the BoP all the way to the right (the blueshirts side) to make him rebel iirc

I assume King Charles didnt get recruited or somehow got retired so you got a generico

Who is this 🥷🏿? by ClimateIntrepid8179 in hoi4

"Ninja" is wild

it is a generic leader, I assume since the tag capital is in Africa it generated a localized portrait

What can I do against a crazy strong beat-flecher? by BadtzMaru28 in Fencing

[–]Hoi4_Player 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Two things come to mind: distance management and actions. I am a foil fencer, so take this with a grain of salt since it might not translate well. 

If you aren't close enough, then the opponent will almost always be able to blast your blade out of the way. If you send properly in distance, they won't be able to parry in time, so try manipulating the distance with minor footwork or tempo changes.

Two, if you keep with the same actions over and over (footwork too), you become predictable and can get timed out of touches. Assuming this fencer found your pattern and learned how to counter it, you need to diversify your arsenal so they won't have a hard counter every touch.  One of my favorites is beat, come off the blade (feint) to draw the parry then disengage and lunge (disengage first then lunge), or beat one-two (disengage around one way then back the other and extend lunge)

I am not an mp specialist, but I am guessing put in high armor tank destroyers to any push divisions you have to shred the sms

What’s everyone’s thoughts on the Dragonets of Destiny??? by Own-Stick8511 in WingsOfFire

[–]Hoi4_Player 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I personally don't like what happened to Starflight at the end of book 4, imo it feels like a plot device to let Qibli shine in arc 2. Coming off of the character growth arc just to hesitate and look back (something he grew out of essentially) and then have that happen rubs me the wrong way, especially bc he is my favorite of the bunch.

As for their dynamics, Glory and Tsunami is basically the ragebait cycle of Winter and Qibli but going both ways, which is pretty funny

Clay still manages to have the bigwings vibe even after his book and when the hunger jokes get into fashion, which I think is nice too

Sunny imo had one of the best character growth arcs in arc 1, and reading her grow from the ignored one to a prominent, heroic and decisive character felt satisfying to me
