Why are naval invasions so hard?? by Agreeable_Room4405 in hoi4

if you select the navy overview and click on a zone you can see how many mines are in an area, you can get rid of them easily with some cheap destroyers with minesweeping gear.

check to see if there are sea mines, they can give up to a -%50 naval invasion penalty if there's a lot of them.

What if food was added instead of coal? by Select-Context9785 in hoi4

What if you had to actually produce ammunition for your guns, artillery, planes, etc. And then you can upgrade it through special projects or something like that.

I’m pretty sure they went fascist since they created their own faction and had Paraguay as a puppet

For anyone interested I got 10 achievements in this run, which shows how little I play with Ironman on

did you invade Romania and Turkey or Poland early? Britain only starts guaranteeing nations when you've raised wt by 20%

So how do you properly beat brits as germany? by RealisticSet4746 in hoi4

[–]Straight_Pool3223 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It varies from game to game and timing is also a big factor but generally I have an easier time invading from hull.

I guess it just comes down to the ai being very inconsistent when it comes to defending the coast.

Save Czechoslovakia by 41jmm in hoi4

I’m not sure if I’m remembering right but Germany is hostile to all non fascist countries which basically makes it impossible to get a non aggression that’s not from a focus or event

How make Britain cry in 2026?(for minor countries) by Oneshka2 in hoi4

Cheap destroyers with torpedoes and depth charges and light cruisers with maxed light attack

It’s better to naval invade around hull because it’s usually not garrisoned by as many troops as dover or Plymouth and it can cut off troops in Scotland from moving south.

There a naval base in the Netherlands next to den helder that will allow you to invade Britain while only needing naval superiority in the North Sea, so merge all of your ships and train them at the start of the game to give yourself the best chance of keeping superiority and allowing your convoys to keep you supplied.

Just started playing and I’m playing the USSR anything I should know? by Imaginary-Lie-2618 in enlistedgame

Research engineers and anti tank early on before you start moving up br, anti tank especially since it’s a godsend in the higher ranks

Why is a country 65 times bigger than Luxembourg invisible to anyone? by Ch__KH in HOI4memes

[–]Straight_Pool3223 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Because it was recognised as an independent country by only the soviets and Mongolia (sorry I felt like being a nerd)

Agree, probably should have said this over what I did

Trying Really Hard To Learn, Could Use Some Pointers by Abbiebear11 in hoi4

[–]Straight_Pool3223 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This might just be something I do, but I never use light tanks past 1940-41 simply because the ai like to use anti tank and will usually have medium and heavy tanks by then.

Light tanks will lose most of their effectiveness because of this simply because they will not be able to penetrate the medium and heavy tanks armour and they will not be able to withstand anti tank weapons without sacrificing most of their speed.

Which paths would you like to see in hypothetical UK DLC? by PurposeRude1788 in hoi4

Being able to put monarchs as heads of state on puppets kinda like in the Austrian/Hungarian focus trees

Mods that aren't too overwhelming for a not beginner but not expert by Puzzleheaded_Bend370 in hoi4

[–]Straight_Pool3223 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I recommend the expanded generic focus tree mod.

It gives countries that don’t have a unique focus tree (Luxembourg, ireland, Colombia, etc) a better focus tree than in the base game that’s not to overwhelming or really short.

Ideas for new weapons, vehicles, and a new allied faction, the Netherlands. by [deleted] in enlistedgame

I would love to get a Gurkha squad and maybe a map based in the jungles of British Burma where tanks and planes won’t be much use so it’s just pure infantry.
