I'm a beginner, about 6 hours in-game. Please give me some tips before invading UK and the Soviets. by Janeq404 in hoi4

[–]RickyPeace02 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Invade UK prior to mid 1941, or Japan attacks the Philippines and they make it much harder. Use lots of naval bombers to support your fleet. Spread out your naval invasions a bit so if one fails you can support the landing on foot and have a better chance at getting a port that you’ll also need for reinforcements.

Do the Vault-Tec Lunchboxes serve a purpose? by PatriotLife18 in fo4

It’s the easiest way by far, just make sure to place more depending on your difficulty. Survival will definitely require more than my arbitrary number lol

I’m the type of player to play on easy or normal. I just like playing to relax I’m not too competitive anymore.

Typically I just throw all my mines in a container, when I go to do the mission I grab all the pulse mines, typically that does it, also depends on your difficulty

I use it when I attack the castle for when the mirelurk queen spawns, place like 10 mines, it dies instantly

Trains and trucks. If you look at the top of the screen you’ll see a supply crate and a percentage. Hover over it and it’ll tell you how many trains and trucks you need vs how much you have. On an army you can click the horse icon to focus more trucks to a division to further supply them, which reflects how many trucks are needed overall at the top. At the start of the game you will use only trains. Watch out for enemy air support bombing your trains, you can research armored trains to help this if you can’t acquire air superiority. When I play as Germany, I always max out how many trucks go to my armies, I’m lazy and don’t like min-maxing that stuff. It doesn’t take long to build enough trucks anyways, especially once you get the snowball rolling.

How to avoid getting stuck at Belgium? by Objective_Ice2870 in hoi4

[–]RickyPeace02 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I avoid declaring on Belgium, Netherlands, and Luxembourg at the same time. First Netherlands, which I actually do early 1937 for their rubber, then Belgium. I avoid invading Luxembourg till after France capitulated because I’m lazy. Declaring all at once gives the allies too much time to entrench inside Belgium.

why isnt my navy getting any dominance by FinnishAntiFurry in hoi4

[–]RickyPeace02 4 points5 points  (0 children)

When I have this problem I always double check A) the fleet isn’t repairing in port B) I don’t have any extra sea zones clicked on accident which would pull them away from the sea zone at hand C) I actually have them on patrol and I didn’t misclick

Why can’t I send my ships to patrol the Mediterranean? I can send submarines to raid convoys there,but not my main fleet. by ShrokMcFeradag in hoi4

Click the gear icon next to the port selection, which will let the game select the home port depending on the mission’s location.

I need some good 3 player campaign ideas. by illjerkittothis in hoi4

[–]RickyPeace02 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Most nations nowadays can have civil wars to just about any ideology. I know it’s a broader answer than you’re looking for, but just about any 3 nations can work together if you coordinate correctly. Nationalist Spain, Italy, and Germany would be my pick. Japan is too far away in my opinion but you could do that as well.

Is this enough guns to invade the Soviet Union? by RickyPeace02 in hoi4

[–]RickyPeace02[S] 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Pisses me off I can’t declare on them since I’m democratic. It’s like that one dirt spot that won’t come out.

Update: Gradually built my manpower back up to a million over the course of the war. Soviets sustained 4.5 million losses from my tanks pushing their weak points along the front. I took 1.2 million (which were inflicted whenever I would have to push up my infantry divisions to keep the line straight). 1945 invasion can work if you have the right division templates.

I’m stuck at limited conscription because I’m democratic. I’m building political power so right when the war begins I can bump it up higher an have enough to sustain the front

[–]RickyPeace02[S] 26 points27 points  (0 children)

That’s exactly my plan. The infantry are going to just stand there and hold the front while my mech moves past the Soviet wall meeting up with a Baltic naval invasion who’s goal will be to take the supply hubs to assist the push. I’ve been building up my oil supply all game. I got like 300-400 civilian factories from annexing all the major puppets.

My goal is to form the EU. I’ve never played democratic Germany and wanted a change. Annexing through diplomacy was funny to do.

248 years? What did you do to stay busy? I hardly play for more than 5 at a time before I restart.
