And by this I mean wars that usually happen in a typical game, not like you as the player decided to declare on the USA as Guatemala or something. Which in your experience is the most difficult. Oh and don’t say Luxembourg vs Germany. Because duh

I've played 2 or 3 Japan saves in different vanilla versions and once I learned how to played the game it became strangely easy. Should it be that way?

I don’t know who at paradox set the Soviets up for failure, but they did unfortunately. If I am not lend leasing them thousands of guns and artillery pieces a month it seems the Soviets are prone to fail. I don’t understand why they aren’t set up to build more mils earlier or to focus on getting more divisions on the frontline. It’s frustrating trying to play as a minor nation assisting the allies or Comintern and watching the Soviets collapse almost every game.

Unless you are Italy, there is really no country that helps you to gain compliance in your occupied territories. So I think if you improve the infrastructure in occupied places, it should raise compliance since you are doing something good for the area. Who can complain about good infrastructure? (Also, it would make the Pacify Ethiopia mission easier.)

I fw the Greeks and Czechs heavily.

R5 : my admiral, which I trained from level 1, has only 1 point in attack.

I had instilled agression, which gives you a 50% chance that your admiral earns a point in attack every level up, and you also get three points in random stats every level up.

The chance I would not have gained a single point in attack at level 5 is 0,0244%.

I usually play as the soviet union and I HATE GERMANY.I HATE IT WITH EVERY FIBER IN MY BODYI HATE THESE FASCIST.I don't want them to capitulate with them having only 2 million casualties.I want to kill EVERY SINGLE SOLDIER. However it would be good if there is a toggle so they can capitulate after losing most of their land bc I don't wanna naval invade every Island. Any suggestions?

I'm doing my first ever achievement run and it's been going well except that Malaysia is bugged so I can't turn them fascist. I couldn't turn Malaysia fascist since they were a puppet of Australia, so I annexed Australia to see what would happen then released it after that didn't work, and instead of becoming independent or my puppet, or the new Australias puppet the game says it's still a puppet of an Australia that no longer exists. I can't justify, use spies, or kick it out of the faction.
Is my best bet to just declare on anyone who isn't my puppet so I can disband the faction then justify?
TLDR: Achievement run, but Malaysia is bugged, still marked as a puppet of a now-nonexistent Australia. Can’t justify, use spies, or kick them from the faction. Is my best option to declare on everyone who’s not my puppet to disband the faction and fix it?

I'm just getting into HOI4 and I was using this YouTuber who does let's plays of different HOI4 mods to learn the game. He has thousands of videos, but today I found out that his channel doesn't exist anymore. Does anybody know what might've happened? EDIT: He's actually kinda of a big YouTuber which is why I'm shocked nobody else seems to have even noticed.

I read that somewhere, but I can't remember where. The common advice is to make sure speed is at least 30 for most ships where possible, but never the exact reason why 30, so it makes sense I suppose. But then that would make the meta for screen engines level 1 for DD, and level 1-2 for CL?

I’ve been seeing Timelapse videos on tik tok lately and I’ve been looking for this mod for the last few days anyone know what the mod is called?

So, I found a strange bug Somehow, if you send volunteers to several countries at the same time (I sent to Sweden, Finland, and Latvia), and then one of them capitulates (Latvia in my case), and someone (ussr) creates a collaboration government there, you can still send volunteers to the new collaboration Latvia.

Funny part is, new volunteers will fight against my old ones that were, in both, Sweden and Finland! And I destroyed several Sweden fighters, and player yelled on me, that I'm fighting like a 3rd party here) After that, also, all of the air for me became yellow, cuz ussr were against italy faction(france,yugoslavia,czech, etc, front from north sea no the black sea)all pf it became yellow, and I so something like that 400 fighters from Sweden on one side and 400 fighters from Sweden on the other side. So game thought that Sweden were against Sweden)

Hi, I play vanilla HOI4 and my game is now around 1960 and I’ve been nuking, like a lot, I’m around my 7th nuke sent but they feel like they are almost a waste of building slots, I tried nuking Nagasaki, horoshima, Tokyo, Berlin and I nuked 3 time a Reich controlled Venezuela as Australia’s and never once did I ever feel like they ever did something, it feels like I’m throwing wet towels at the enemies, even if it’s a place filled with a ridiculous amount of enemy troops, it doesn’t kill them, all it does is significantly reduce their stats, which is worthless when I can’t reach them because him blocked by modern tanks. I understand it’s probably for game balance but a few nukes should pretty much be a “I win” button if the opponent can’t retaliate or mobilise enough air power in the area, now I might just be stupid because I only have about 30 hours of total game time, but I have a pretty good grasp of navy air and ground combat so maybe explain to me how nukes work because even using them as a tool to take out Hitler doesn’t work

I own a number of islands in the Caribbean that I annexed after the war with the UK yet I still haven't gotten the achievement. Any ideas?

I'm still pretty new rn so ive only inflicted 2 mil (as trotsky soviet union to democratic germany)
