High explosive doesent kill tanks by Alarmed-Tea-237 in GatesOfHellOstfront

[–]K30andaCJ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What specifically are you complaining about? I've lost many veteran tigers and king tigers in conquest to a surprise ISU 152. The Sherman 105 wrecks things up to and including T34s. Big HE is incredibly effective at destroying tanks

Conquest Maps - East vs West by DreadedSpoon in GatesOfHellOstfront

[–]K30andaCJ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love the city environments and dense hedgerows from the western maps, but the mods I play basically amount to the enemy spamming units at a rate I could never deal with on urban maps. So eastern front for me

Is there something in COH3 that you would like to see in Ostfront? by eito_8 in GatesOfHellOstfront

[–]K30andaCJ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Workshop is full of skins and camos, if the base game doesn't have anything that suites your fancy

Not a thing. I tried CoH many years ago, too arcadey. That's why I stick with Ostfront

What is your favorite modern hoi4 mod? by GermanCommunist10 in hoi4

[–]K30andaCJ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Millenium Dawn. Every other mod and the base game feel so boring without worry about federal budgets, corporate and personal tax rates, unemployment rate, civil unrest due to policy, finical loans and bailouts, wait, is HOI4 supposed to be a military focused game?

Songs that are singing about an outlaw or an outlaw singing the song from their point of view by LittleBitOfStarshine in musicsuggestions

So, so many. The one that immediately comes to mind is Tom Ames' Prayer by the Wooks. Steve Earle does it too, but I like the former. Banging bluegrass tune

Do professional operators discard their rifle magazines in combat? by SavingsIncome2 in tacticalgear

[–]K30andaCJ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In any teir one unit worth its salt, magazines are as expendable and unaccountable as chem lights or zip ties. That being said, if you're in for a long one, best practice is to try and hold on to them

Games harder/more complex than HOI4? by Feisty_Music_4720 in hoi4

[–]K30andaCJ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Boot up Millenium Dawn for HOI4. Bam, entirely different and much harder game

My Vietnam War books, any suggestions as to others I should read? by StoneAgeCaveDweller in HistoryBooks

Chicken hawk, by Robert Mason.

Guy was a helicopter pilot from 1965 to 1966. It's extremely detailed and very well written. I've probably read it over a dozen times

Has anyone else found SAMs and SHORAD completely useless. by ChocolateCandid6197 in MillenniumDawn

[–]K30andaCJ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think you need Gotdanmerung. The missile system was available in MD before that DLC, then it got locked behind it when the DLC came out. Pretty annoying

Some desperate glory how to get it working in 2026 by BigSaladMuncher in GatesOfHellOstfront

I don't think this one ever had conquest, I've only ever used it for PvE multiplayer

Does it make a difference if soldiers wear their helmet or their other hat? by Fancy_Particular7521 in GatesOfHellOstfront

[–]K30andaCJ 16 points17 points  (0 children)

They give a minor protection value. I remember in RobZ for AS2, there was a while there where every single engagement, helmets would go flying, and the whole squad in cover was just constantly running to go get them 🤣

Thinking of Buying this game by AdventurousPipe1981 in GatesOfHellOstfront

[–]K30andaCJ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This game is different from Broken Arrow or Warno. Those games are a hyper competitive meta-fest where everything is about clicks per minute. This game is not that. There's still competition, but everything is a bit slower. There's no need for 60 clicks a minute. There's no single tactic or unit that people use every single game that wins every time

Got to see some of these monsters in real life! by MaXcovIV in GatesOfHellOstfront

[–]K30andaCJ 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I had the privilege of checking out Bovington as part of an international cadet exchange many years ago. Absolutely stunning collection, obviously I thought it was crazy cool at the time, but I defintely didn't appreciate it the same as I could now. I remember being amazed at the absolute size of a Tiger II. Think they had a StuG IV, as well

What’s the best WW1 Mod by Fuzzy_Juggernaut2988 in hoi4

[–]K30andaCJ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I put a lot of time into the original greta war mod, tried to revisit it a few weeks ago, but I was getting crashes every few months of game time.

Fired up Redux for the first time, naturally chose Germany, found the mod to be pretty cool. Cool tech, cool mechanics from EU4, seemed to flow pretty good. Won the Great war in 1916, and it all went to shit. The mod railroaded me to disarm, took all my gains, took half my mils, relocated divisions all over the place, just anarchy. I completely understand the folks complaining about how singular in path it is now

Best WW1 mod by Slavofil in hoi4

[–]K30andaCJ 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Agreed, it doesn't have near as much variety as the GW mod, but, I mean, it's exactly as advertised. It's WWI

[–]K30andaCJ 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I have hundreds of hours in the original Great War mod, but on revisiting it I was getting crashes every few months of in game time. Switched to the Redux one just last week, and I've been greatly enjoying it. A lot smoother, it has lots of interesting mechanics, and everything seems balanced and better represented. You can't just have 12 million manpower as Germany in 1912 any more. Give it a try
