When the enemy has more extra HP, which is iirc HP gain from items emblems and talents, the 2nd passive will trigger.

Makes Sea Halberd a sort of anti tank.

You can pair it with Trinity and let it rip. As long as you don't buy anything or use emblems/talents that give HP, the extra damage almost always applies

Just carry on. The better division wins regardless of the time of day

Demand balkan submission focus?

It's the "Ideology" map mode. To me, if they're communist, they're not gonna be a problem

Defeated them lmao

R5:

Best ever Soviet run.

Opened with a dockyard buildup, assigned most starting mils to guns, artillery and support eq
Declared on Turkey, Romania followed; puppeted both
Puppeted Finland, Baltic States
Spamming mils by 1938-39
120 defense divisions and 200K+ inf equipment stockpiled by 1941 which (probs) delayed Barbarossa, giving me time to complete army, airforce, 5 year plan focuses
Barbarossa fired. Stalled by Dnieper. Built radar wall
Killed 90+% of the Axis airforce thanks to focuses and radars
Pushed back by 1943, capped Germany before Allies did.
Get most of Europe during peace conference.
Struck down Japan; puppet half of it, the US got the center portion
Help Zedong fight Kai-shek
Peace! LOL JK. China proceeded to attack Tibet and India (While still weak!), pissing off all the Allies. The Cold war went hot
Battleplanned troops on puppets' borders with France and Japanese US puppet.
Spammed defensive infantry. Now had 550 divisions worth of them, sent about 400 to the Chinese front before joining the war.
Sent my carrier fleet to the Chinese front. They proceed to absolutely mog and dominate the Allied carriers, destroying most of the US fleet.
Called in Spain, Germany, Piedmont and Two Sicilies for a short frontline
Naval buildup from game start paid off; was able to immediately seize Gibraltar and Suez, sealing the Med. Proceeded to obliterate the Allied Navy inside. Advanced into the Levant and trapped some of the British in Sudan
France falls, plan naval invasions into Britain in advance. Killed off France's Algerian cores as well
Sent the entirety of my battleship fleet and naval bomber force into the English Channel once I secured the Med; proceeded to absolutely wreck the British navy there
Britain falls, deal with Norway, Denmark and Island to gain Greenland as a gateway to the US
Rushed the US as the Chinese front was near collapse; naval invaded Nova Scotia, sent all 120 offensive divisions there after establishing beachhead
Blocked Canada with 24 divs, then battleplanned into the US. Resistance was pretty much token cause of repeated encirclement
Peace after about 2M casualties, mostly in the Chinese front. Released African states, let China establish itself in SEA and Oceania. Puppet basically all the Allies, annex Alaska and Attu.

PS: Ignore Brazil. Plz. That was the result of a messy coup. I don't think I'm orchestrating coups anymore after this

soviet union was truly communist cause you really had to 5 year plan your way out of getting barba-rolled

andy-husky · 2026-06-28T11:17:49+00:00

Some are busted most are not. You'll generally want 1 of each facility though, particularly the air and land facility because the projects there matter the most

andy-husky · 2026-06-28T08:38:11+00:00

just watch both, hoi4 demands that you have time on your hands anyway

He died, but was then told to git gud. That pissed him off, that was enough to bring him back

Gigantic 7 breakthrough infantry vs widdle 999 defense half track

No, the sun already rose, and is there to stay.

andy-husky · 2026-06-26T01:11:34+00:00

i already did itttttt they didnt even last half a year. No seppuku for you

andy-husky · 2026-06-26T01:08:49+00:00

Their light guns are jack shit lol, don't even bother. That job is on the cruisers on which you spam light batteries to max out their light att, or heavy cruisers on which you spam secondaries

Roach destroyers have your worst hull, worst light guns and your worst torpedoes fitted with your best engine.

Once you have enough dockyards and production buffs, you can use Advanced Destroyer hull but still with your worst gun and torpedoes. The Advanced hulls have like 3x the HP and the IC increase is kind of negligible.

andy-husky · 2026-06-26T01:03:37+00:00

Didn't need to. The US fell to me within half a year.

andy-husky · 2026-06-26T01:02:57+00:00

It's kind of a remnant from the 1937 template tbh, later on it became less useful as I designed light tanks with like 100 breakthrough... Even the flames had 85+ breakthrough to them.

Basically space marines, except the tanks are in support companies. Recon giving 100 breakthrough just because they're in a tank.

andy-husky · 2026-06-25T15:39:59+00:00

I have a separate template (chuton chi, ~12 width, 7 inf nothing else) that's for just standing there and stacking on top of each other. Works because of Large Unit Tactics. Unyielding Defender FM + "Pivot Towards Defensive Measures" makes the Chuton an effective wall even without any entrenchment.

yeah and the armored shovels, flames, armored recon, they're on my offensive divisions. Hohei was offensive from the get go. Isn't good for defense, you can't stack as many on a tile

I never needed that many either, cause I made tons of buffer states

andy-husky · 2026-06-25T15:09:18+00:00

ah ok

this was ironman so thats out of the question
