I'm a Commie but for RP purposes it's nice, anyway don't let ideology get in the way of a good video
ahh,january 36,my birthday
what is going on in these replies?
But sir arent we here to remove that georgian dictator?
That's why the train is going the other way. Now be quiet before a commissar hears you
I'd vote for you as King
Regards to Matt.
Those who vote decide nothing. The one who counts the voteS decides everything. - Stalin
bruh i pre ordered the thing but i dont have the focuses for the baltcis help
*Emperor
Why was there no democratic focus tree? White russia was literally a republic so why would they restor an absolute monarchy or go fascist? If anything, the fascist focus should be the option to surrender as white russia to the germans in operation barbarosa causing you to be turned into a fascist puppet state of the reich with the Western territory being subjugated by the reich, you could then choose to become a full on arian genocidal nightmare or become an authoritarian monarchy/fascist dictatorship. (like japan) then you could choose to say loyal to the axis and eventually be granted the western territories back after a series of sabotage making them a burden to hitler or you can betray them and if you're a fascist monarchy then you can just establish your own axis and subjugate europe in your 1800's like image. However if you are the arian genocidal
regime then you can become the superstate of Eurasia seen in George Orwell's 1984.(I bit of a meme but I think it would be a really cool/dark path to follow).
Listen now Mr.President, We Romanovs have a legacy to consider!
I don't give a wooden nickel about your legacy!
You call them off!

28:08 - "So it is just a slapping match between two really weak powers"
Now that conjures up a funny image. XD
I'm leaving the comment & like now, will watch later, now it's time to hunt achievements :)
A man of culture
Teasing us with just a taste of monarchism.
I want more!
What I like about this update is the strategic importance of railways , it makes even a worthless Siberian province tile a strategic target not just the ports and cities so realistic
If it helps anyone, it seems that 9 inf 2 arty with CAS support absolutely destroys enemies. Set maybe 1 factory on trains, a couple on trucks, assign max trucks to your divisions and you basically won't have any supply issues. I did almost nothing to the infrastructure and I was totally fine. So just do superior firepower, cas doctrine, get good planes and get good artillery/infantry. Try to use spies if you can to break the enemy planning/entrenchment. Works amazingly well.
Finally a game for people who love war AND model trains!
Can't wait for people to make Thomas and Friends skins for trains
I feel like they're going to have to overhaul the front line system. If you are piercing deep into the enemy along the train routes the bulk of your forces need to be in the spear head not all along the train line but that's how the front line system will do It
@@rps215 they already did when you made this post
Bitt3rsteel: dont add ships into black sea navy.
Also Bitt3rsteel: * adds ships to the black sea navy*
That's quite an achievement! Thank you for demonstrating how it is done.
I tried waiting very long and taking all the Urals province, I tried rushing civil war before Soviets had large military, I tried conquering Poland and leaving all troops next to Germany - nothing worked. I'll try to do what you did and take provinces along the Transsiberian railway.
Thanks for the guide. I tried it earlier and didn't know I could take provinces so I was screwed when the civil war started. Second playthrough I did almost everything you did and it was a nice win. Railroads are everything now.
Bruh paradox with this new dlc turn war game into railway simulator definitely needs some balancing
Everyone playing non-historical:
Me: "when stalin path?"
39:52 oh boy, this did NOT age well
Furry!
And, yeah, I agree. I hope the Ukrainians keep kicking Russian Army tail all the way back to the border!
@@Roketsune I'd recommend looking into the story behind the disputed territories as well as Azov. I'm far from pro-Russian (war bad) however the situation between the Junta in Kiev and the Donbass is far from as clean cut as the west would like to believe and unfortunately we (The west) quite likely had a hand in making it that way.
As for the footnotes version ethnic violence and persecution of Russian minorities by neo-nazi elements with the implicit consent of the government in Kiev. Again look into it.
@@simonnachreiner8380 Get the hell outta her russian bot.
@@simonnachreiner8380 doesn't seem you are far from pro-russian lmao
@@takashi1745 I'm anti war like a sane person. I'm also an isolationist who doesn't like my government's intelligence agencies inflaming ethnic tensions to install friendly regimes. I also despise the lobbying and backroom dealing (particularly with government funded intelligence agencies) done by the military industrial complex to insure they've always got a forever war to sell to.
Butt sure yeah let's ignore the politics that start wars like this, that will totally lead to lasting peace and not send one of the most resource rich countries in the world right into the waiting arms of China.
Vladimir III, the man, the Tetris Tsar, the legend.
This tutorial helped out quite a bit, I followed the general focus path only picking up one more focus the womans movement because I needed more time to secure all of siberia I could. Let's see, first I made the capital Chita then moved straight towards Vladivostok then to the trans Siberian railway to the state I forget the name of then to effectively encircle everything east of the Urals then take as much as I can, stalin got to two states before I did but they were effectively encircled so it wasn't difficult to mop them up with the free cav divisions. Once the war started I used encircle and destroy tactics to remove their units moving further west and grabing supply hubs wrecking their army and eventually won and got all the break away states back into the fold which is where I left that game, and I didn't need to give up anything to do it
This video is the sole reason I finally understand logistics beyond "Just build more railways"
5:58 "to make shout we actually have control over the Transsibirien railway" Czech legioniers in the background here we go again🚞
I’m so glad you are uploading right away on the new dlc. So excited to play it
The funniest part of hoi4's treatment of USSR to me is that it makes Stalin's search for traitors and following purges completely justified, just somewhat clumsy.
fantastic teaser for no step back, and a great thanks for the run trough of the 2nd russian civil war mechanics :)
I felt so bad because I wasn’t able to watch the steam that you had yesterday and I’m very happy you made the video so soon!!
When I play this, the Soviets guard the supply lines, also they have fuel for their tanks and I don't
Well, apparently most of the content creators that are creating content for hoi4 were allowed to post these videos on the mod after today's release, there were some early videos but there weren't all the features in it.
With the new supply system, goi4 has finally become a true strategy game
Thanks for the video! The Russian Civil War really was surprisingly fun to play, the way in which it rewards stretching your frontlines and aggressively taking cities and supply hubs. In my play-through Stalin took more of the far north before the civil war started but really it just turned out to be locking out Soviet manpower as they were out of supply. I did use the extra reinforcements from desertions to guard my border with Mongolia and Tannu Tuva because in one playthrough (ruined because I got a phone call and walked away from the computer without pausing) they did attack. I also kept some cavalry (after thinning out the template) around as rear-echelon troops to clean up the frontlines between the railroads.
Hmm, this system accurately represents the struggles of a real war. Paradox did a good job.
I love the new supplies mechanics!!! Also trains xD
I would only do North Sakhalin BUT that's because I love Japan and I always hated the 'mini' bordergore of the island being divided.
SAAAME
Eagerly awaiting your guides for this new patch. Keep up the good work!
You won me at the moment I saw the words: Putting the Romanovs back on the throne.
39:46 World tension actually didn't rise at all (or very little) after you declared war on Ukraine. It was 16% before and after the war declaration.
I tried this and the first guy to defect to my side was Tukhachevsky I was so happy
The strategy did not work for me because they managed to organize too quickly and I just found myself bleeding on guns and slowly being pushed back
I commented on another video that I really wanted to buy HoI4 because it seemed like an awesome game and Bitt3rSteel, you weren't exagerating that the game was quite hard to learn.
I bought the game yesterday (it was on sale at 9$) and my head hurts trying to understand the gameplay and what to prioritize in construction and targets to attack. But I won't give up until I can rebuild an old empire (like the Roman empire) on my own.
The best thing about this DLC is you can build railways in your Allies territory so no running out of supply because the AI won't build infrastructure, this DLC is great
Also, you can deny your allies supply when you click on the supply hub and theres a button for that there. No more allies stacking 500 divisions on your front and eating all your supply.
Dispersed is always better. It protects from bombing and retains efficiency when you swap out equipment
concentrated is better if all you want to do is before 1939, you won't really have any equipment swapped between then (upgrades to 1936 should be done before that research finished).
Around Eurasia in 80 days achievement seems easy for you :)
It should be easy as fascist Britain
@@zenith6939 exactly it is easy as fascist britain , just italy and france are the big targets
I don't know how but I just opened the game and as I started a new game as the ussr I had the no step back focus tree and every feature... And I didn't even bought the dlc. Thanks paradox!
Has that happen to me once but with la resistance dlc
I don't have this game, but I'm about to spend 150 dollars on expansions and the game based on your channel alone. I've watched about 30 videos of yours dating back to 2020
2 weeks later and I should have wait for the sale, but man...I've had some fun
Man I tried doing the romanov path but messed up BADLY and the civil war started when I had 15 army support. This made it so that it was a 90vs30 and I didnt have vladivostok or novobriesk. It was long and hard to say the least as there were 3 fronts in beginning (a massive encirclment in size of land and units that took about 3 months to clean up).
It's been so long that Turkemistan, Georgia, Crimea, Karelia, Uzbekistan, Krygstan, Armenia, Dagistan, and Ukraine all declared independence and died (over time). Btw I'm not yet done.
Good tip about following the trans-Siberian railway… I tried it earlier without concentrating my troops on the railway and the war lasted a lot longer than it should’ve lol
Watching your videos really makes me want to see many HOI4 mechanics could be introduced to Stellaris and make it a truly epic game. Thanks for the videos!
Stalin:"what are you doing?"
Bitt3rSteel:"nuthin"
Make it so red rivers run trough the streets but not let Russia become red.
Dispersed is best if you won't do air. Concentrated is best if you won't get a lot of factories over all
Dude, I had to walk ALL the way to Leningrad lol
that pain in your voice when you killed the PE of your light tanks. ive been there my brother, i feel that pain.
the hoi4 battle we all wanted
No one gonna talk about Poland pullin a sneaky on Lithuania on the end 😂😂😂
You can use supply planes to let you wage war in remote areas- although it has command point upkeep.
This was really enjoyable. Liked and subscribed
Really happy I watched this before playing. Much frustration avoided I think
34:55
There's situations where a petrol-electric engine might be useful.
Obviously not in Russia, but still.
Very good idea to make specific part for the war. This was pre-release, I just did it but had to fight 6 (!) civil wars: Ukraine, Kazakhs, Karelie... Wonder why it was so complicated for me.
Challenge: Play Thunder Cross Latvia (Thunder Roars Alone) on Historical…and just survive, dont capitulate
No restrictions, the Latvian Focus tree is pretty flexible and strong, but itll be difficult not to instantly fall apart to the soviets in early ‘40
Give it your best shot
I'm looking 28 width. Forests and planes very common and it divides well into both 84 and 90
He just predicted what happened in march 2022
I need a part 2 for this, please.
North Siberia should be made impassable terrain like the sahara
i love this bye bye thing
Yes its a pocket because the definition is "A pocket refers to combat forces that have been isolated by opposing forces from their logistical base"
By using scorched earth on Moscow right before you start the civil war would you massively mess up their supply or would it not make a very large impact?
that's a hell of an idea, imagine all the railways in and out of your biggest supply hub being blown to bits and how crippling that would be to your army... delightfully devilish
Ah yes, the romanovs.
Don't get yeeted by stalin
14:09 Nice
If you dont instantly declare, the breakaways will join the allies once you take the focus
Its Dņepro-petrovsk, also Smoļensk gate.
All hail tsar bittersteel Romanov all hail the tsar
thank you for these videos!
Anyway another interesting fact about this DLC, is that they also increase the focus tree of the USSR, for who didn't bought the DLC
As a resident of the city, I loved your attempt at pronouncing Kuybeshev at around 23:45. Funnily enough, the city has been renamed to Togliatti (Tolyatti) in honour of the leader of the Italian Communist Party.
My first time testing this out i had to fight japan while also slowly pushing into the soviets. The only reason i survived is because i spammed out a bunch of convicts to slow the japanese down and begged for a metric ton of weapons from germany.
48:23 anyway, this is bittersteel, I'm ou-
Maybe You can do 2 Poland achievemnts in the same campaign.
Ck3 and the other You need germans and soviets un You faction or no exists, i think choose cossack king Focus is the Best choice for that
Enjoyed the videos! Any chance you will look at old factions / guides and update them?
I really enjoy playing Communist china following your route, but now it seems Nationalist China gets destroyed very quickly by Japan in the new Supply System along with being unsure on supply setup for such a weak industry / infrastructure start
Stalin paranoid? obviously not paranoid enough....
39:50
Watching this in September of 2022... Yikes xD
I have to laugh with the way TH-cam is interpreting the voice-over [I've got subtitle's running] "...along the railway and south to Cuba..." when he was trying to pronounce Kuibyshev.
Totally off topic but idk if anyone has tried since the new update, but I can’t do the quick France and UK takeover as Germany anymore. France has almost all of its coast guarded and Czechoslovakia actually pushes into Germany now.
Jeeez, I'm a little in trouble
That lot of focus will get me into crazy things
23:30 hahaha
i love how you spell a Russian cities names
Thanks for the video mate looks good
There's a button to upgrade all railways going into a supply hub btw
Love youur videos
Time to build the interstate system in the us but with trains
The US should have had an option to use trucks instead of trains.
@@andrewlechner6343 they most certainly should, as well as germany
This only appeared for me the first time, disappeared and I didn't even notice, how do I do it?
Bitt3er, I ave an idea. Play as any country with the possibility of being peaceful and just MAX OUT your economy and railways, build lots of trucks and just do normal stuff like big military but peaceful and greatest supply of all time.
tsar: interesting
Looks like there have been introduced some new features, but the AI hasn't been updated. Like they don't prioritize the defence of hubs. But thats no surprise....
Oh,they do. But they also have a massive front and not enough trooos
Just played historical soviets to check the DLC out. The AI feels slightly better on the defensive side, prioritizing railways and everything pretty well. On the offensive, on the other hand, it's as dumb as a rock and had been slamming head first into my Dnieper wall for about a year until they ran out of Germans.
Used your referral link to buy it. Keep the content coming!
And now with the Soviets reworked, only one more major power needs reworking...
*Tibet*
*Angry pizza noises*
0:21 - "Don't worry about it... just a early release..." haha it was being made for what a year..?! hahah no time to test eh
A sandbox game is hard to test with a QA team though. It's so big and intertwined...you can't test everything
Hey I know I’m late to this, im a new hoi player. I tried this twice and both times Ukraine and Belarus breakaway from the ussr. Is there anyway to stop them from breaking away?
No.
Wait, I thought that supply should flow through rivers too
14:10.
Wow that's just sad
Would love some updated tutorials for no step back :)
