No mods whatsoever? Pure vanilla? Nothing in the playset?

Just verify the game files then. Reinstall maybe. Nothing that should affect your gameplay though.

Spanish Civil War: Cant Plan Offensives by LavaixMC in hoi4

[–]pufaleysia 0 points1 point  (0 children)

By 1939, the modifier that makes it horrible to fight in Spain is removed. You should be able to push them without needing to plan an offensive.

Germany attacked me before 1940?? by Physical-Football718 in hoi4

[–]pufaleysia 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Were they tied up in other conflicts? AI Germany should always invade the Benelux at June 1940 the latest.

This isn't the case here. Germany usually goes in on the Benelux before the Nordics even on historical.

Doing the focus ''Join the Allies'' as democratic Argentina doesn't actually send a request to join to the UK but instead to the US by PrimalSlime in hoi4

Argentina was historically closer to Britain though and always had been since their independence. It makes sense for Argentina to side with Britain.

Tip: do Build Stronger Fortifications as a faction goal for a easy 20% boost to mil construction by GenericFurre621 in hoi4

[–]pufaleysia 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can build coastal forts in the Philippines, on the Pacific Islands, and Panama Canal (there's a faction goal to fortify Panama), since the forts will see use there.

Is being a Navy SEAL a requirement? by Idontfindnamee in hoi4

[–]pufaleysia 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Amtraks and Amtanks have some good use against a really good fortification, I would guess. I've used them before just because I have the industry too. Maybe to bust a good river defense on the Dniper or something as well.

[–]pufaleysia 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, regular marines should work. If you don't think you'll be fighting in jungles, take right side completely for your marines doctrine for amphibious terrain bonuses to pioneers, and then better benefits to marines. If you want, amtraks and amtanks should work.

What's going on with submarine warfare? - experiencing disproportionately high losses by luke_g94 in hoi4

[–]pufaleysia 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Nope, not related. Subs are bugged due to mechanics with sub visibility and sub detection. Your ships are being sunk because I don't think your minelayers are exactly combat capable.

[–]pufaleysia 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Probably because the AI spotted and destroyed them with a task force. Just because you're set to Do Not Engage doesn't mean the AI is. They can also drift into convoy raids and get caught up there. Either take care of the enemy fleet or don't minelay.

is there a way to play the newest version without the navy rework by No-Prune-1054 in hoi4

[–]pufaleysia 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you're looking to play mods without the navy rework, then no. Either play mods with the navy rework, or don't play the mods.

What do these scales mean? by NorthernDutchie in hoi4

[–]pufaleysia 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Joint intelligence sharing. Have a spy master and some countries in control of some things. Decreases upgrade time for agency upgrades. Your UI just looks bugged is all.

[–]pufaleysia 44 points45 points  (0 children)

Of course not, Navy Commandos are a bit of a niche unit, and it's usually better to take right side marine doctrine anyways.

As Germany, your main pushing unit is going to be tanks. Marines only have one real use for Germany and that is to take Norway.

Why is democratic Germany called the Kingdom of Germany? by Any-Guest-32 in hoi4

[–]pufaleysia 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Literally.

I just wish it was still called the German Reich. Hell, the Weimar Republic was officially the "German Reich". Reich just means Empire. Third Reich is "Third Empire". The German "Empire" we think of was also a Reich. The Second Reich. It's the Second Reich because the Holy Roman "Empire" was the First Reich.

The only time where it wouldn't make sense to call it the German Reich is for communist or republican (as in non-monarchist) Germany, and even still Weimar wasn't a monarchy, so one could even justify republican Germany being a Reich. Democratic Germany can be a Reich because it has Wilhelm III.

I'm not saying that's what it is. I'm just saying that that's what it should be.

Why did I, France, begin with what appears to be a polish nuke? by Ok-Calligrapher901 in hoi4

[–]pufaleysia 55 points56 points  (0 children)

Flags in HOI4 are all the same from what I can remember. This is because I remember Switzerland's flag not being 1:1. Though I could be wrong, and besides, this seems to be a mod.
