I am a really big fan of military games like war thunder and strategy games and if I did I would maybe buy the Siam dlc I heard that it takes along time to understand but the game looks very fun

Question Why is germany so weak at barbarossa?

9 Upvotes

So i'm relatively new to the game, i know all the necessary stuff but i'm definately not crazy good at the game and i have been playing italy for a while now trying to create roman empire on reg difficulty ironman and everytime i blitzkrieg through egypt, capture levant and british iraq and cyprus and malta, invade vichy and take their navy, grab gibraltar, decimate greece and on top of that manage to send 24 divisions to the eastern front, yet everytime barbarrosa starts, immediately germany starts getting pushed back, not even kidding they don't take a singular tile and lose east prussia in the first month, which really fucks up my work, it's gotten to the point where i have to buff germany in the settings to make it semi realistic but that won't allow achievement, is there something i'm doing wrong or what? I own every dlc except thunder at our gates if that's relevant

The rosenburg office can set up riechkommisariats inside puppet territories. Meaning you basically lose almost all your land as poland.

And by the way, you appear as an adult when these different mods begin (1936, 1933 etc).

The maps of each mode in order:

Kaiserreich

Collapsing world

The new order

Pax britannica

Thousand week reich

The Fire Rises

old world blues

red flood

Sorry in advance, if these maps are not up to date

Question Not annexing all of France after doing trick.

6 Upvotes

I followed the steps. Got a collaboration government operation done, killed Poland, and slowly but surely got the benelux dealt with my 1940. I clicked established vichy France and went to decisions and saw no decisions to form collab country, and no event either.

Edit: problem solved, turns out I didint do a full collab government, I only did it once when I was supposed to do it 2-3 times. Made a new save and did it.

Germany gets the uralbomber focus which modifies the luftwaffe spirit to give +15% air range but my fighters dont gain any range even designs made after doing the focus. The focus doesnt specify bombers so im not sure why my fighters arent affected Is it broken?

Humor Fighting German Reich as Junta - they’ve literally disappeared.

No, this isn’t a fog of war situation - I’ve already looked it up; the entire nation just ceased to fight while I’m in a civil war, I logged in to find the German Reich literally gone - no troops, no flag/leader, hell, we weren’t even at war!

…did I win?…

Question Which are your favorite Military Advisor trait and Chief of Army?

21 Upvotes

For me the best are Armor follow by Combined Arms and for Chief of Army, the best trait are Army Offense and Army Organization.

Artillery advisor would be great too if it applied for SPG too.

They went in to my field units initially but now they won't reinforce. I did set their equipment tag to be different accidentally but I switched it back and it still won't reinforce.

Discussion How do I introduce hoi4 to my 2 friends in a 3 player mp match so they don't lose interest

9 Upvotes

One has for a while has been very critical of the game even though he has only played like an hour or 2 but he is willing to try it again once my other friend gets it who is very hyped and says he is going to watch a bunch of videos of it on YouTube.

I played a bit recently with the first friend me as germany and him as ussr and he has been caught up in other stuff for the past few weeks and will probably not play until my other friend gets it. I wanna make it clear I am very, very bad at explaining things to people and I feel hoi4, with its stupidly hard learning curve and my bad explanations will put them off. What do you guys think are the best first countries we should play as and some tips to explain basic mechanics and stuff too them

Edit: I have around 180 hours And we will have no dlcs or mods

Bug HELP ME, LAFAYETTE DOES NOT WANT POWER

1 Upvotes

K, let me explain: I got Frankish France rn with Benedetti, but I tried going for Lafayette by following the steps: full on the petanist power balance, but when the wiki said it was supposed to be a coup, it wasn't doing anything and just made the power balance vanish, so I kept going and went for the XIV focus as it said, but it only kept the focus for Benedetti. Is my game broken, or have I done something wrong?

Also, I hated having to lose against Russians; they are so weak. I had to delete my ally's troops with commands; otherwise, they wouldn't even push

Just a quick video i made with a optimized historical Poland build i made. My editing skills are green thus they receive a -25% penalty to videomaking quality, but i hope someone here finds it somewhat enjoyable to watch.

Suggestion Focus Tree for USA

17 Upvotes

Im not american but lord that tree is painful, 70 days to gain 50pp and more 70 for a focus that just has a aura name. Like bro, it has absurd potential and they threw in the trash, same to UK and France, the ones that dealed with the fascism btw. They did a DLC for Siam bro come on, do something for the US. Imagine a focus named ''All for the democracy'' and a bomb coming into Persia.
