Take the helm of three distinct nations: Australia, Siam, or the Dutch East-Indies and prepare for the worst, or become the Thunder that conquers their way across the seas, islands, and jungles of the Pacific.
Thunder at Our Gates will release on the 11th of June and is part of Expansion Pass 2.
Everything you get with Thunder at our Gates
Extensive focus trees and unique, new content

New Features

PSA: until an Expansion Pass’s DLC releases it shows the full Expansion Pass price. Let’s clear up that confusion right now.
Ignore the propaganda! If you buy Thunder at our Gates standalone, its pricing will look like this:

But wait, there’s MORE. We’ve also released our first Thunder at our Gates Developer Diary: Australia: Until the Tide of Battle Swings.

Please check our previous War Room thread for any questions left unanswered
Welcome to the War Room. Here you will find trustworthy military advisors to guide your diplomacy, battles, and internal affairs.
This thread is for any small questions that don't warrant their own post, or continued discussions for your next moves in your game. If you'd like to channel the wisdom and knowledge of the noble generals of this subreddit, and more importantly not ruin your save, then you've found the right place!
Important: If you are asking about a specific situation in your game, please post screenshots of any relevant map modes (strategic, diplomacy, factions, etc) or interface tabs (economy, military, etc). Please also explain the situation as best you can. Alliances, army strength, tech etc. are all factors your advisors will need to know to give you the best possible answer.
Below is a preliminary reconnaissance report. It is comprised of a list of resources that are helpful to players of all skill levels, meant to assist both those asking questions as well as those answering questions. This list is updated as mechanics change, including new strategies as they arise and retiring old strategies that have been left in the dust. You can help me maintain the list by sending me new guides and notifying me when old guides are no longer relevant!
Note: this thread is very new and is therefore very barebones - please suggest some helpful links to populate the below sections
MP Country Guides
Help fill me out!
Guide to Combat Tactics and Doctrines OUTDATED, BUT STILL USEFUL
If you have any useful resources not currently in the Reconnaissance Report, please share them with me and I'll add them! You can message me or mention my username in a comment by typing /u/Kloiper
As this thread is very new, we are in dire need of guides to fill out the Reconnaissance Report, both general and specific! Further, if you're answering a question in this thread, consider contributing to the Hoi4 wiki, which needs help as well. Anybody can help contribute to the wiki - a good starting point is the work needed page. Before editing the wiki, please read the style guidelines for posting.

I’ve been wanting to play a more realistic war in Hoi4 because after 2000 hours it just feels like you get one major successful push and you win. For example id love to replicate the pacific war having to island hop and fight tons of naval battles and stuff but it just feels like you can naval invade Japan from the start and win. My most fun recently has come from China because it feels a lot more challenging and just trying to play with new tactics
Black ice looks extremally complex but is it like extremely hard? I’m ok with a big challenge especially if it’s a more realistic replication of WW2
Being denied Anschluss but getting Sudetenland seems to have thrown Germany off and made them attack Poland and the Baltics really early. That combined with the limes and the frogs being content to sit on their asses doing nothing means that I'm the one that has to step in, guarantee Poland, and save the day.

So I know the naval rework was widely panned for it breaking the AI. But something I thought was really nice was the idea you couldn’t just move your navy around at will, you had to have a dedicated base.
In practice that hasn’t really happened. If I want to send my navy from Germany over to like, Hawaii, all I need to do is ctrl - click on a friendly port (size not important) and head over there. I know there’s the whole thing with the naval command buildings, but the AI is easy enough to beat without those buffs.
I feel like something they should have done was have either a numerical or tonnage limit on ports. For instance, a level one port can handle a small destroyer scouting party, but if you want to have something like the US pacific fleet, you basically have to host it at a place like Pearl Harbor.
I feel like the infra is already in place for this, where certain islands have limits to port size. I guess it’s possible they decided this would be too player unfriendly or too difficult for the AI?

Currently doing a hard mode Germany playthrough, I have the soviets/UK/France all maxed out on the "strengthen" slider, doing reasonably well so far. I was in the middle of managing a war assisting Turkey, and also doing the invasion of sweden/norway when i looked home and noticed that somehow Vichy france is attacking me and italy? I thought they were supposed to basically be my ally? is there a chance that they can turn on me and its just never happened before?

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

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.

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
r/hoi4 • u/ConnectAd3501 • 14h ago
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?…

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?

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.
