What if you were FORCED into being historical in Hearts of Iron 4? What if you played the Black Ice, the hardest mod ever made, in HOI4 as Japan, but could only use the actual historical designs, presets, and battleplans? Ready for Naval invasions and zero supply?!

I've been on a HOI4 binge of using only the historical presets given by Paradox, alongside accurate, historical division organization. Can I do the same as the Japanese in the wonderful Black Ice mod, filled with memes and endless historicity and accuracy, and win the war?

The addition of Historical presets into Hearts of Iron IV was an awesome thing for massive history nerds like myself. Now, I play REALLY historically, using only the stupid tanks and planes that happened in real life! I'm aiming to do this with EVERY country in the game (or at least every major) so let me know a good suggestion down in the comments for more countries to play!

Black ice Poland
More black ice Ussr i really like ussr
2 Yamatos were built, Yamato and Musashi and third ship Shinano was never finished as a battleship due to lack of resources but her hull was converted into a much cheaper carrier, but if Japan was more successful she probably would have been completed as a battleship
i have happy birthday today
A realistic japan run would have two players who can't talk to eachother
Two players who can only communicate in insults
Just insults in japanese for the whole game
Two players who lose if the other player achieves any objectives.
Lmao😂
Who can't communicate with one another and actively dispises one another whilst actively sabotaging and refusing to cooperate. True IJA/IJN realism
Black ice Czechoslovakia when?
Never
Better yet, Black ice Luxemburg when?

You won, but at what cost? 😂
Uh... yeah but I uh... I still won! My color was on the map! Who cares if primary education ends at 12 and your conscripted?!

Slight correction at 23:34 only two Yamato-class battleships were built. Shinano was converted to a carrier and sunk before getting finished.
Just about to comment this XD
But technically three Yamato battleships hills were created so he is correct
@@Kingmadman-1 Fair enough
Battleship in spirit
@@TheHuffmanator yeah I guess you could say that
@@Kingmadman-1 Hmm, dont really agree with this but we are straying into the realms of nitpick so it doesnt really matter
2/3 of Japanese casualties were a result of starvation
so this is historically accurate
Holy Molly! Aldi finally realised he can turn off NATO symbols. My eyes are now pleased
XD I do like them but Christ they are not clear! I worked this out a while back actually
I too cannot read NORTH ATLANTIC TREATY ORGANIZATION hieroglyphics. Much pleased
O7 to you suffering another BICE for us. Keep it up, the contents not suffering 🙃
Thank you! It always agony, but also fun!!
Wow, you actually won as Japan. Congratulations. This seems to be hard. Maybe one day i'll grow a pair of balls to try out BICE on my own.
Thank you!! Do it, it’s super fun :)
6:35 Funny thing is that China did actually have a fair few tanks at the start of the war. Mostly Panzer 1’s sold to them by Germany. Yes, Germany inadvertantly undermined their ally Japan by selling tanks and small arms to the Chinese before Germany had allied with Japan.
Oh my God, I am not the only guy that puts production lines always in the same order by type!
Black ice, a mod so realistic, it even simulates the pain of the commander :D
Actually there were built only 2 Yamato-class battleships
The third one, named Shinano was started to build into Carrier(there was almost finished hull), but on the way to other dockyard to be stoßt finished, it was sunk by Archerfich class American submarine with 1 torpedo(there was not-hermetic bulkhead on Shinano)
That ad was amazing, I never look at them most of the time but you made them really pleasant to watch. Great work like always!!
Oh damn dude thank you so much! I work hard to try and make them fun and engaging you know? They support the channel and allow me to make these (Christ knows TH-cam doesn’t pay much :P ) so I appreciate so much your comment :)
Your BlackICE videos are always a delight to watch brother. Keep sending em. Great war too, I really enjoy the weirdly specific historical trivia you sometimes drop in them.
good to see high quality researched videos like these
Black Ice Luxembourg when?
Finally another black ice video! This was Great, thank you, gave me a good laugh. Please keep posting this type of content if it's not to time consuming. Thank you!!
Hey thank you! Next BIcE video won’t be for I think 3-4 weeks so I don’t get too exhausted, but thank you so much!
whats the easiest BICE you've done so far?
The EASIEST BICE was easily the USA. Even ony buffed Axis, the massive industrial might of America just won out :P
@@Aldrahill Yeah as the USA once you get rid of the depression debuffs you can produce all the equipment with enough to spare to LL to allies very comfortably.
Black Ice Poland please
Really love how much work u put into the vid. Rarely seen this entertaining content, keep the good work up.
Damn, thank you so much! Really trying to make something FUN, you know? Currently alternating between challenge videos and historical series :)
This was really enjoyable to watch! Good work
Thank you so much!!
Black Ice Australia would be really funny to see you attempt. Love your work!
love these videos mate, have seen all of them, keep up the good work :)
Glad you like them! Really appreciate that bud :) more every week!
Hey. Just letting you know you can fix the white boxes on boat glitch by changing your drive to direct x 11 on the start up page. Hope this helps 👍
AH nice thanks! That does help, thank you
Maybe Historical Finland will be nice
Ive been waiting for this!
Technically, not 3 Yamato class Battleship were built and sunk, only two. Shinano*, the third sister was reconfigured before she was finished into the world's first supercarrier (this is a debatable topic but I believe this is true, you can choose the other options freely). But even she wouldn't been sunk, she was very poorly balanced, the superstucture was lighter than expected (go figure) and thus she was hull heavy, which meant that she would capsize more easily than her older sisters would. She "lived" for like 3 days if my memory serves right
*= I got corrected, I mistook her for another carrier, my bad
The name was Shinano
Wat. Shokaku was a purpose built carrier. Perhaps you're talking about Shinano

knowing what japan did before joining ww2 historically, your commentary was completely accurate to its leaders' thought process
Amazing video 👍
Finally he's playing the black guys mod 😍
Congrats on the 50k!
Thank you!!
Should have just used a regular infantry division reinforced with marines and marine support companies as your marines since there was no marine divisions in the japanese army and they fought with regular divisions
Aldrahill you are the best hoi4 content creator
Oh dude thank you
I can only imagine how much work has to go into making these videos, but wanted to say I love these 😊 and I don’t mind a bit of historical leniency with some of the decisions or regiments
instead, how much work has to go into making such a complex and accurate mod.
Thank you! Yes indeed, it takes a LONG time xD Most of the week tbh
This is like an old school HOI3 run. Very cool.
Ayy thank you :)
Congrats on the 50k
Thank you!!!
I wrote that wikipedia article you used. Nice to see that its being used.
Oh damn nice one, thanks ! :D it was super detailed

A good idea for a stream sometime!
@@Aldrahill awesome
Great video, glad I could help you reach 50k
Ayyy thank you! I don’t know why, I’m super stoked to hit it xD
Japan actually fought quite well for a country of their stature
They had very little resource availability and a below average land army
The Axis as a whole somehow fought quite decently given their situation(well that's debatable)
Germany didn't really fight that decently, Belgium and France had outdated armies, the Netherlands, Norway, and Poland also had outdated and still managed to inflict heavy loses, Greece killed Italy's ass and lost because they ran out of ammo, Denmark didn't fight, and Yugoslavia, Soviet Union, England, and USA kicked Germany's ass.
That isnt true, the japanese army suffered terrible losses because of the use of banzai charges. Tactically, the IJA was terrible, and as you admit, strategically too.
@@jackson4672It is not that simple, Germany was incredibly lucky with France, and if you consider the french army outdated then all other armies of the world also were.
@@jackson4672 Whos fault is it they had oudated armies? The credit on germanies part is that they had expert command structure and a good military high command. that itself is a sign of germanies wellness of the fight
Soviets didnt kick germany's ass as you have said. Ussr took 10 million losses and only won because they sent out russians like meat bags. @jackson4672
Black Ice Poland please🙏
Is there a small map for 1v1? Tournament time!
This basically turned into a slightly bizarre version of TNO
For those flickering unit models you have to set your hoi4 launcher to direcrX 9
Ooo okay thank you!
Where do you find the historical division statistics to do your historic presets?
I do a lot of research through Google, mostly. Just finding sources, books, whatever I can find! I put all sources in a big sourcing document and I post that for all Patreon Supporters and Channel members :)
Yayy!! Another upload!
Ya know, these kindsa videos make me want a mod with like, Black Ice's depth and breadth of mechanics but also combined with like, Kaiserredux. I want schizo nation paths and the utter insanity of these 'realistic' mechanics.
Oh yeah that would be really cool :D
I find it amazing that your game speed in 1947 is faster than my speed with many opt mods and debug_smooth off in 1936 in base game..
Anyways amazing video. I enjoyed watching you suffer
I recently upgraded my pc after 11 years so it’s running so fast xD thank you glad you enjoyed i :)
What specs did you get, man?
I actually cannot remember the exact specs, but main thing is I got a super OP CPU because I was tired of not being able to get past 1860 in Victoria 3 :P
One of the latest gen Intel ones I believe
@@Aldrahill Nice!
Italy this time had prep time lol
during one of my playthroughs i got stuck in china, my losses we're minimal all in all.
andi was a advanced economy with perfect fleet.
but china and the ussr had basically stalemated me in the mountains and had nigh equal divisions with antitank etc.
and so their combined might made it impossible to push more than a province a year before supplies and logistic reserves ran out again and again.
basically killing me because by that point it was too late for me to expect to hold a third front again america too.
Poland Historical Black Ice When?
Italy next? I'm curious to see if you can match this Italy's performance x)
Oh yeah looking forward to that xD Italy is in… 5 weeks I think?
"Singapore has fallen there were no guards" 😭😭😭😭😭😭 noooo
Historically the Japanese did also sink two battleships that were sent to reinforce Singapore, although the ones you sank were kinda less modern ones. The Japanese sank the Prince of Wales and the Repulse, with the latter actually being there during Bismarck's attempted escape into the Atlantic.
Playing Japan on BICE is also one of the things I like doing especially given how impactful their occupation is on my region's history. The interesting thing in BICE is that AI Japan very often manages to totally clean up China by the time they invade the South which is rather ahistorical... That certainly makes their invasion of Southeast Asia so much easier
Can you go non historical with the black ice mod? Also does this work with the infantry equipment designer mod?
Definitely want to :) and not sure about the infantry designer
22:55 that fr(ah)nce really threw me ngl
Could you try China In blackice?
32:29 All talk, no action, I see you're really comitting to the historical accuracy!
One Czechoslovakia, Sir, please!
Ok. You want new idea? . . . Norway? Perchance?
Definitely!
Woooo more black ice
Now I would wonder if aldrahill would be able to balance the power and the resources again but he forgets as every country but I am worried for the Japanese people now

Just a heads up, you can turn on refineries before they are built so you don't forget to turn them on later
Indeed that’s what I did at the start!!
@@Aldrahill Was it cut from the video? I just saw you enabling the already built ones en masse, not assigning unbuilt refineries
It must have been!

Ooo that’s weird! Crazy how small things slip through the cracks!
Black Ice Luxenburg when?? The children yern for the world conquest
Something that's always bothered me with Black Ice (And HoI4 in general) is the way ships are handled. Prime example if less than 5 minutes into the video, you can't even start thinking of producing the Yamato because you don't have the techs researched, when in reality the ship was already being designed and laid in secretive dry docks.
With the way the game works as of today, you "research" techs for ships that you should already have way later than you should, and to compensate the game makes it suuuuuper easy and quick to make massive battleships, or swarms upon swarms of DDs or SS/SSNs in unrealistic record time.
I get that for casual play it works out for most people and they don't really bat an eye at the issue. But that's one thing that really hampers the strategic aspect of naval combat (the least-liked aspect of the game for many) by removing the forward planning of ship design and building.
Nice!
Thanks!
