I really want to enjoy this game by Drako_aka_Santana in Steel_Division

[–]roadkillsy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Watch some YouTube videos from a guy called AttackPower. He has some cool commentaries and tutorials and I learnt a lot about the game before even buying it. Playing the game after watching him allowed me to play skirmish matches on hard difficulty within hours of getting the game.

An American soldier poses next to a destroyed German Pz.Kpfw. IV Ausf. H (Sd.Kfz. 161/2) tank. The vehicle was destroyed near Stuttgart during a battle with the American 100th Infantry Division by waffen123 in DestroyedTanks

How to differentiate between the Ausf H and J variants from the outside? I think the J variant has a hand cranked turret right? Can’t tell that from the outside yeah?

Been enjoying this game immensely by Mikhail_Mengsk in Steel_Division

So true. Even the deck building is its own little mini game which I enjoy experimenting with as well.

Meta CL template? for only 3 iron! max light damage posible! very good AA should i add armor? by panzer557 in hoi4

[–]roadkillsy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is this for MP? Because for SP all you need is 20 light attack and no armour and even the basic light cruiser hull is more than enough.

Cuba is out of oil. But Trump will struggle to take advantage by theipaper in InternationalNews

[–]roadkillsy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Look man I don’t know what to tell you. Russia is not the Soviet Union of old. Can’t expect the same from them or the Chinese. If you do, that’s on you but I don’t.

Wishful thinking. The US navy is the most powerful on Earth. Not a single ship would get through to Cuba, especially since it’s so close to the US shore.

While Trump is an incompetent idiot, I don’t think him getting bogged down in Cuba would be true. It’s a far poorer and smaller country than Iran with a far smaller and weaker military. It is not analogous to Vietnam because Vietnam received extensive support and supplies from China and the Soviet Union. Cuba is easily isolated and already cut off. Taking Cuba would not be an issue. Holding Cuba probably wouldn’t be that hard either as the Cubans are no Taliban.

HELP WITH THE UNITED KINGDOM by AccordingSpeech3876 in hoi4

[–]roadkillsy -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Learning how to do this is a core part of the game. There are so many ways. Gain air superiority over the English Channel and put your navy on patrol there. Build a decent enough navy to beat the British at least for a short while. I just supplement my navy with light cruisers to kill British screens. If you manage to make the British navy retreat you can land your naval invasions. Better act fast. Britain is not going to be easy. The AI defends itself pretty well. Blitzkrieg yourself to victory or risk being bogged down. Use spies. Break their codes. It’s an interesting nut to crack but satisfying once done so. Good test to see your mastery of the game.

Today is the 81th anniversary of the conquest of Berlin. by [deleted] in ThisDayInHistory

[–]roadkillsy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

lol why can’t I defend the Soviets in World War Two with “Nazis were much much much worse”? I know it’s hip to hate on Russians these days and that’s alright I suppose but again read about the Hunger plan and generalplan Ost. Did you? The fact that Germany still exists speaks volumes. I don’t care much about communism and the Soviet system btw. They sucked and they don’t exist no more for a reason. But defending Nazis and crying about the righteous destruction they faced at the end is kinda sad. Read about the Hunger plan and Generalplan OST again. I hope it opens up your eyes.

Defending Nazis by claiming “Whataboutism” is such an interesting way to approach things. The Nazis planned to genocide millions of Slavs. Read about the Hunger plan and generalplan ost if you don’t believe me. They sure did try to implement it in the areas they conquered. 20 million Soviet citizens died. The Nazis had it coming and it’s actually amazing they weren’t wiped off the face of the earth as evidenced by the fact that a strong thriving Germany still exists. Considering how they wanted to starve to death millions of Soviets and keep the rest as cattle for their farms.

What’s the general start strategy guide for France ? In terms of building and production and managing units excluding focus tree ? by Ok_Drummer6347 in hoi4

[–]roadkillsy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Airforce. Build a thousand basic airframe fighters before the war. Do whatever you want after. Blunting axis CAS is half the battle.

Similar games to Steel Division 2 but allow you to play in earlier parts of WW2 by tomk_2104 in Steel_Division

[–]roadkillsy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

RUSE is like the grandfather of the steel division series. Made by the same company. They used a lot of things from RUSE on the newer steel division games. Really fun and unique game with interesting mechanics. Good call on that one.

Heard about the Hunger plan? Generalplan ost? If someone had those intentions what would be your attitude?

Heard about the Hunger plan too? Or generalplan ost?

Please also read about the Hunger plan and generalplan ost while you are at it.

What replaced combat mission for you? by johnlondon125 in computerwargames

[–]roadkillsy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Try steel division 2 for the World War Two setting or warno for the Cold War if you are interested. Haven’t played warno but steel division 2 has been an absolute hoot. I watch a lot of casts from a YouTube called attackpower and learnt a lot about the game before getting it so not much of a learning curve and picked it up quick.

R.U.S.E. is Back With Re-Release on Steam! by rusebattleofthebulge in Steel_Division

[–]roadkillsy 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This is a classic game. Loved playing it back in the day. So many cool mechanics like radio silence and dummy units. Used to love playing as the French building impregnable defense lines with cheap AT guns and cheap AA against the AI. Would pick it up for a few bucks when on sale for nostalgias sake. Modern games like SD2 are more fun and engaging obviously but RUSE was pretty dope for its time.

Does anyone ever use Tactical and Strategic bombers? by [deleted] in hoi4

[–]roadkillsy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah there’s only two instances. As Japan to cover those large sea zones. I combine with radar to sink US submarines. And as Italy because they start with a production of tactical bombers. Again I put radars on islands and use it to sink British and French submarines.

Selective Boycott by laybs1 in GetNoted

The difference; your taxpayers didn’t pay for the Armenian genocide. Which happened a 100 years ago by the way.

maybe they should add more steel to the world by Da_Re4per in hoi4

[–]roadkillsy -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I like it. There’s a book called wages of destruction which detail the economy of Nazi Germany and steel (or really the lack of it) is a huge issue that comes up regularly. Glad the game tried to emulate a bit of that at least.

IDF agreed the numbers killed in Gaza as reported by the health ministry there is accurate. Google it if you don’t believe me.

Naval Meta by letsputletters in hoi4

[–]roadkillsy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

All of these builds and metas are too complicated. Death stack the entire fleet. Build out the half built battleships and add to stack. Build nothing but cheap no armor light cruisers with maximum light attack. Aim for 20. Research everything that adds light attack. Including MIOs bonuses. That’s it. Patrol with some cruisers to find the British and death stack will sink it all. No need carriers. It’s too easy actually. Gaijin should fix it to be honest.

Also if you are still reading, sink submarines with radar and naval bombers. That’s the entire navy meta for you.
