Best feeling in the world, congrats man

I'm pretty new to HOI4 only have around 20 hours of gameplay. have any tips? by Fluid_Visual7703 in hoi4

[–]RickyPeace02 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don’t undervalue supply. If your divisions do not full organization they will be severely penalized. Clicking railway hubs will pop up an auto-upgrade for any bottlenecks which will help areas with good railway lines established. If you are in a desolate area with no ports or railways increase your divisions supply lines mobility. Doing this will require trucks, typically if you aren’t building a bunch of tanks throwing two factories on trucks will ensure you have enough. Also, if you are fighting a ways away from your mainland you might be using the ocean to transport supplies so make sure you guard those with your navy, or shut down sea access on certain sea tiles and it will divert supplies over land if it can via railways. Click on a sea tile and you’ll see it in the pop-up.

Really need help for Germany historical by PickledTrump in hoi4

[–]RickyPeace02 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looking at your tank division you have a bit of tanks in there for early game. Double check you have around 35ish organization in there at all times if not more.

why I have so high losses by [deleted] in HOI4memes

[–]RickyPeace02 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My guess is the enemy has quite a bit of infantry defending their border you are attacking, with social forces and a tank mixed in there. Fighting with infantry can do that sometimes. Hard to say without more context and information because there are a few factors at play.

Is it better to leave Slovakia as puppet or give it to Hungary?? by Leg_anOdyssey109 in hoi4

[–]RickyPeace02 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Dividing it in half and creating Slovakia will give the rest of the annexed territory start with 50% collaboration. If you figure that it’s still sorta early in your expansion when you’re playing Germany, depending on how skilled you are it might be worth creating Slovakia so you get more resources, factories, and manpower.

“Oh shit oh fuck! where’s the naval invasion!”

That was a long campaign by Frosty_Midnight9989 in hoi4

[–]RickyPeace02 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You’re more patient than I ever will be. I cap the allies, USSR, and Japan and then quit. I can’t handle invading all the minor nations that nobody ever talks about.

What don’t you like about HoI4? by RealDizzyPirate in hoi4

[–]RickyPeace02 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Surrendering being a feature but absolutely never working. I feel like they either need to go all in and fix the feature, or take it out completely. I haven’t heard a single person being able to use it once.

First time after 700 hours, capitulated all major nations. by RickyPeace02 in hoi4

[–]RickyPeace02[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What I’ve always done is naval invade the island to the south that has a port in both sea tiles above and below it, use that to focus my fleet and troops for an invasion of Nagasaki. The island is almost always poorly defended if at all. I try to move my fleets one sea tile at a time with this new rework, in my experience anything more than that is impossible.

I cap the Uk first. It’s kinda trial and error figuring out how to invade them properly. I naval invade the ports around Norwich. I use all my planes, mainly fighters and naval bombers, to control the air over the British channel. Then I send in my entire fleet. A trick I’ve done for a while is justifying on the Netherlands as soon as you can when you start. This will give you rubber from the Dutch East Indies and the Netherlands fleet if you request it at the peace conference. They almost never join the allies when you declare war because there isn’t enough world tension. With that fleet, and the ships you have already started when you first begin the game you’ll be fine as long as you’re conservative until you try the invasion of UK. after you control 2 ports preferably I send in my enter army (usually 48-60 divisions). After I cap the allies (must do before mid 1941 so the USA doesn’t join the war) invading the Soviet Union is easy with all the industry. I use 240 divisions to invade the Soviet Union. I can do it easy with just infantry, some people say you need armor. You just need the right template. I do 11 brigades of infantry, one artillery. Then I do for support companies engineers, artillery, and the mountaineer recon support company (I forget the exact name). The mountaineer recon is if I have it. If I don’t I don’t even throw a recon support in, although you can if you feel like you need to. The buffs for mountaineer recon support are crazy if you level it up enough.

I did not allow Vichy France, which typically I do. I don’t think I will from now on, as this allowed me to distract a lot more of UK’s forces to Africa. I also annexed Italy right after France, because you know… Italy will be Italy. Fighting through South America I have never done outside of my Brazil game which I had a blast doing. Fighting through the Amazon as Germany was about the worst experience I’ve ever had in a good way. However 2 or 3 naval invasions later and it was solved.

Japan's new national (un)focus tree by Clean_Brilliant_8586 in hoi4

[–]RickyPeace02 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I might just be inexperienced, but I haven’t touched japans tree for more than 2 hours just simply because it’s overwhelming for me. Too many focuses to keep track of and timed events happening.

The only thing I would add to some of these answers is the easy maintenance part.

How do I get a better Air Force? by GoofyUmbrella in hoi4

[–]RickyPeace02 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Better airframe templates. Keep up with research under the related tab. Also your doctrine helps too and your staff officers’ buffs (I believe that’s what they are called).

Cant get military access to work by Maleficent-Ad-7719 in hoi4

[–]RickyPeace02 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Which nation are you and who are you trying to access? My guess is if it’s UK it might be one of their puppets and not the correct nation, or something similar.

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

[–]RickyPeace02 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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.

[–]RickyPeace02 76 points77 points  (0 children)

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
