The way I see it, is if Axis fumbles hard and can't even take France, then when Germany capitulates, have Allies dec on the Soviets instead, and have Japan team with them (if they're still alive)
What? Why?
@@thewampire4640 Because at the point that you have to ask France to leave, 1) Axis has already lost anyways. They're just going to be so far behind that leaving France just prolongs the inevitable of Axis dying. 2) It feels bad to do well as France and be forced to let Germany kill you anyways, but it also feels bad as USA or Soviets to not get to play since the game was decided before you enter the war. So just let Allies and Soviets fight to keep it interesting without coddling the Axis.
I just have the Soviets join the Axis at that point and declare on the allies. It definitely can screw with a Russian player's strategy if they were building up forts or something but this already will happen if an historical Poland holds against the Germans in the base game. The problem is, German and Italian players may try to exploit this by doing deliberately poorly against France to gain a big red ally. But I only play with people I trust not to do something like that (I rarely play MP)
@@thewampire4640 It's historical anyways, the soviets invaded Poland after all, they probably would have tried invading the rest of europe if it weren't for the nazis attacking them first
@@girlbuu9403 Either way works imo. Depends on how the game's going, just use common sense.
Idk why I found funny to hear Australia say "Come out and fight the Australian fleet"
Like, you got the Bristish navy, part of the French navy, but nope, I imagined an Aussie yelling that to the Axis
If I recall correctly, I think Australia built a bunch of carriers this game and wanted to try them out.
It was very funny at the time that Australia was really keen on fighting the Japan fleet (I was Japan in the game).
I meanwhile just kept the fleet in port and was actively not engaging with the allies navy.
@@PydginPlays I did in fact build a bunch of carriers and Japan refused to fight. Still had a really good time that game.
Just hearing the context about this whole situation is appreciated, and still sounds hilarious
the Aussie fleet made it to the history books in WW2...
they have the only war ship ( light cruiser HMAS Sydney ) sunk by a German merchant raider ( merchant ship DKM Komoran ) in history....
the German captain been hailed as a hero while the Aussie captain been incompetent...
btw: there have been a lot of survivors in the German ship, loosing around 90 people...
while the Aussie ship sunk with all hands, and Aussies being British, said the Germans machine gunned them while in the water...
Later the Aussie navy refused to search for the ship, because nobody knew where it sunk.... so someone stepped up and told them to start at the position the German captain said the action been taking place...
and all the Navy could say ( here comes the Brits again ) he ( Cpt Detmers ) lied anyway....
so they searched at the place where the German Cpt said its happening, they found the Komoran and after 2 or 3 days, they found the Sydney, exact where the German Cpt told them...
In the following game I co-op'd Germany and we couldn't break France. It was a bit of karma. If you're new to hoi4 I have a tutorial channel linked in the description.
What is your motorized template ?
let me guess, they not used the Fench tactics from WW2, you used communications systems without motorbike couriers???
Should never have pulled out of France. If theyre incompetent they don’t deserve to have France. Screw the rule sets. Get a germany that can play 😂
The game was basically over at that point. I didn't mind pulling out, this way the Allied minors got to have their battle in Africa and the soviets had a barb.
@@PydginPlays yeah suppose your right in that regard. It’s unfortunate when the Germany is so incompetent that a situation like that occurred to begin with. Makes for a good story and good content though 😂
More than anything it's pointless. Germany that can't break France is destined to lose
Tbh the fact that the host didn’t make him pull out by September-October means that he was a shit host, a good host in a good game would have made the decision to force France to pull out so there can actually be a game
@@alextonev3017 at that point why even allow people to play as France ?
04:01 what do you call a statesman in Germany
To the people malding that they made the call to pull out of France: FRANCE WON. Everyone there knew France won. They needed to let Germany win so the Soviet and American players could have a game.
And don't worry, Germany knew exactly what was happening, someone letting you win on HOI4 cause you can't beat them is humiliating, and Germany was feeling it (hence the awkward silence)
At that point, that's just rewarding incompetence. If Germany can't take France, then let France kill Germany and change it to an Allies Versus Soviets game, let America have their main fight against the Japanese.
At this point, it might as well be a strat to suck and not take it exile you build up, then roll over everyone else.
It doesn't have to go that way though, there can just be a realignment of east-west. Comintern vs west, or Japan+USSR vs west. Plenty of options, but it just means Germany won't be the big boy of any faction...which is deserved imo.

@@truckerdave6503can I ask why you enjoy playing a railroaded ww2 sim on repeat with no random or ahistorical factors? genuine question because I genuinely don’t get it
@@kaih719 Bet he starts flaming the discord if someone makes Germany capitulate before May 8 1945 because it's ahistorical 😡
People need to stop pulling out of France if the Axis fail to take it. It is already joever at that point. I can't imagine it being particularly fun to pull out just to sit on your ass for a year or two to then completely roll them (assuming the soviets didn't already). At that point it'd probably make more sense to have a Soviet-Japanese Alliance or something of the sort to fight for the Allies.
I played MP exactly once as France and managed to push into the Saarland and a bit beyond, was forced to pull out and oh shocker, the Germany desintegrated at the Stalin line. Nobody had an engaging game at the end. More or less same thing happened here. MP lobbies really need a different solution for this
For real, its shocking how many people play grand strategy games who have no patience for strategy or adapting to unforeseen situations. Do some diplomacy! Get Turkey on your side! What about Sweden and Finland, heck even Brazil can be in play if you just say 'hey, seems we need an uber axis for this match'
@@fortusvictus8297There are so many other things that could of been done but the germaphiles want to see their Germany win and as such will handicap you and your allies to the point where their incompetency actually succeeds
Piegin too good, ban him from MP =P
And that guy with the Bulgarian Mech at the end. ;)
I wish they had played on a bit longer I get why they didn't but I bet it would have feelt great to absolutely kill our Denmark invasion
Yea for sure. I don't blame them for leaving, the east was collapsing they wouldn't have lasted too long.
Actual skill issue on behalf of the Axis. If they drop the ball so hard they can’t take France, then the games already jover regardless of how much help they get
That is a true statement....
I can tell with certainty that your channel is about to blow up. Amazing content, cant wait to see more
Always love to see France holding and you being so nice with it instead of going AAAAA E-SPORTS IM SO GOOD HAHAHAHA was a Nice change of pace good job :)
I think you at least should've lend leased all your equipment to UK when capitulated man. You earned it they couldn't break your lines
Germany:why wont you die?
France:nanomachines son!
This kind of situation really goes to show just hopeless and unwinnable ww2 was for the Germans. Despite all their eventual failings, what happened in our timeline was probably close to as good as the axis could have done, and it still ended in a decisive total defeat. The fact they lasted as long as they did is honestly kind of a miracle, and if even one thing hadn’t gone as well for them, such as a france that didn’t fall, or at least held and put up significant resistance into 1941, Germany could never even consider invading the ussr, and if they did, they’d be pushed out nearly immediately.
No event is ever set in stone, and we as humans aren't rational creatures with 100% knowledge of what is happening. The Germans had multiple opportunities to win the war, same as the allies had multiple opportunities to win the war quicker, or prevent the war from happening to begin with. Sure France could have held, but then so could have the Germans beat them even quicker, or maybe win in Africa, Perhaps the Soviets would have proven more incompetent and lost all their cities and the caucaus oil fields, or perhaps the Allies would have fought better than they did against Japan in the pacific. WW2 wasn't unwinable, for either side the fact that it took 6 years shows that both sides had the strength to push for victory that they did or did not if based on the millions of actions of each human, from scientists to soldiers to politicians to industrialists.
There is no timeline in which the Soviets lost all their cities dude. The Germans were at the end of their logistics in OTL. By the time they raced to Moscow it was too late. The distances involved are too great. And even IF the Soviets somehow fell the Allies would have still just nuked Germany in the end and the war would be over by 1947. There is no timeline in which the Nazis won unless maybe they focused on attacking Turkey, taking the Middle East and then just sitting while reshifting their industry east and south and not completely mishandling nuclear technology. But at point we are just talking about right wing expansionist Germany not the Nazis.
@@jam8539 Germany had basically no chance to win the war. The most important factor is extremely simple and it's INSANELY stacked against the Axis: oil. There's basically 3 large oil producers in the 1940s: the USA (being like 70%+ of all oil production), the Soviets (15-20%) and Venezuela, which made up most of the rest.
The middle east doesn't have a developed oil industry. Germany had NO chance to actually win vs the Soviets simple because they did not have the oil to advance far enough. The absolute best case scenario for them was taking the Caucuses oil fields in
@@danlorett2184 they said France falling in three weeks was impossible, it fell. They said no chance that the USA could make 100,000 planes in two years, they made 130,000. It was impossible for the yellow man to beat the white man militarily, the Japanese took Singapore and most of Burma and held it until the end of the war, mainland Japan would have been invaded before the allies took Singapore back. History is full of impossibilities happening, now we say Poland and France were bound to fall and it was impossible for the USSR to lose. Yet just a few things needed to be different and maybe that's not the case.
@@jam8539 This is a pretty small brain take. There's a lot of stuff people said was impossible that they just didn't think would happen.
Then there's physics, and the ACTUALLY impossible. There wasn't enough oil that Germany could get its hands on to prosecute the war they started. Period. Short of complete bizarro world alternate history fan fiction like "the US joins the Axis" or similar.
Even the Germans themselves, while completely ignorant that their troop estimates for the Soviets were literally a 1/3rd of what they actually had, didn't think they really stood a chance either.
Their own supply corps officers literally told them "we only have 2 months worth of oil for offensive operations and that will only support fast movement of our panzer division... leg infantry is still walking into Russia like it's 1812" and they just shrugged and did it anyways.
Really mind-bogglingly stupid decision that resulted in their destruction.
why were the axis so salty aboout france holding? "For the health of the game france should just die" Yeah tell Stalin to yield stalingrad cuz the allies were too op
welp, at that point it's GG.
@@PydginPlays but it feels like the entire Allies were bots, playing to serve the axis.
@@jiayuzhang9681No they weren’t
They were trying to give a chance to the tons of other players (Canada,Brazil,USA,USSR,Bulgaria,Japan) a chance to get some play in since they had been sitting there for hours doing nothing
New hoi4 TH-camr just dropped
Who? Where?
@@PydginPlays You!, There!
@@PydginPlays You dropped out of the sky after i shot you with a slingshot
@@Cigmacicayou dropped out of space when I threw you into a spaceship and it went to space
Actual youtuber
Are there any youtubers that play hoi4 mp but not historically accurate? I understand that france was had to pull out and axis weren't that good, but why the game can't just keep going? Axis loses, then there's barb between allies and soviets, and axis players can rejoin as fascist south america and prepare for allies invasion (normandy 2). That way everybody can have fun, or at least i hope so?
The game will be too unbalanced, We already have tons of MP mods maintaining a delicate balance between them, It'd be impossible to balance another war between allies and soviets with Nukes and US industry. Especially when small changes like 2 tile El alamein can drastically change the game.
@@pixelatedxenon9579 You're right. But El alamein is not the only "entrance" to med sea. I think what i really want to see, is some crazy strats. Axis invading russia through north sea, or d-day spain. In essence, something fresh i guess.
@@kniazjarema8587I’ve seen D-Day in Spain before, as well as an Axis invasion of Leningrad and the Baltics. They are underrated strats.
France losing on purpose for the "health of the game"? Is this a strategy game or a role play? Because the Axis guys should have tried to think outside the box.
France won, everyone knows that even the axis. But everyone agreed to have france pull out in situations like this so that soviets and USA can have a game after waiting for hours
It's competitive historical MP, it's more like a football game and hoi4 is the field.
A lot of Axis quit when France holds, most hosts require France to capitulate.
I require hosts not to be railroading bags of dicks who can't figure out how to get the Soviets involved against the Allies. Screw multiplayer entirely if this is the caliber of hosting that comes of it.
kind of sad to have a grand strategy game where players can't adapt a grand strategy or have contingency plans.
If they are trying to railroad the game rather than deal with unexpected developments, they are incompetent. It really is that simple.
Remind me of Stellaris, force to destroy my empire because nobody in the lobby can win with the beast i have created lurking in the shadows of stars
This video really popped off, that’s wild. Nice man
I've been kicked several times for holding france 😢 all while my team yells at me for ruining the game lol
They should try yelling at the enemy to not be shit instead. Insipid, defeatist selfishness will be the death of this generation.
I mean to be fair if France holds then half the lobby will have to sit in a lobby for hours without getting to play at all
@@eemilsavolainen5129 every focus tree has alternatives that grant claims or wargoals for just this reason. To say each and every game should have to play out the same what and only the clicks per second matter is just gross. Also, any player who only has one strategy to use in a grand strategy game is already not a winner.
@crowe6961 I like the way you think friend!
JoJo Hearts of Iron Adventure:"France is Unbreakable"
I remember holding on my own mp game to the point where the game grinded to a halt till 41. Canada kept giving me air support, and I dug in so well that my units could withstand heavy tanks pushing them. Eventually, the server I was on had me capitulate so the game could continue. So I understand the fun this man had with decking on the germans
lol, 50k casualties to Luxemburg xD
they did my dude dirty LOL
we need more videos of holding france, actually I need a tutorial cuz I never hold lmao
It's quite easy to do in Vanilla against the AI, essentially just build forts up to level 7 on the border, couple levels of AA, and build up your military. Against players it shouldn't be this successful. I took advantage of some changes to this MP mod.
Love your videos!
Thank you!
Germany... So close to France, so far of god...
3:29 w...what the hell is that....WHAT THE HELL IS THAT??? What is your division template?!
Keep up the good content! You gotta put a "please subscribe" moment somewhere in future videos as you deserve a lot more.
Thanks! I find it a bit annoying when youtubers do the whole like and sub thing. Maybe I'll add a little image at some point in future videos.
@PydginPlays I don't make videos so I don't know the right way to add one without being annoying but something short and sweet like your suggesting is probably the way to go. People just need a reminder, or they will move on to the next content.
If you making good content your doing them a favor aswell by getting them to subscribe.
STATS OMAN ALTA
Enchrenchment is so insane
typical sPain voluntereers moment, when anarchists' break out and all of your volunteers encircled - you now playing different game of trying to save as much guys as possible
yup, I knew it was going to happen to... I needed to shuffle a bit earlier.
Always nice to find a good Chanel who has low subs but amazing quality
Glad you enjoy it!
To be honest the axis weren’t just incompetent - they were completely quiet. If I were in your shoes I’d have listened to the crunchy keyboards for a sec, double checked that my mic and stuff was working and said “guess I’m not pulling out then” and just kept playing. If you’re met with silence when you’re basically handing a victory that should be yours over, you shouldn’t hand it over at all.
Man you sure got the algorithm with this one.
haha yea, this video really has taken off.
my typical move is to build forts behind the first river and sit there entrenched
That chuckle at 0:34 is one of pure malicious intent.
Also what happened at 2:06? one second you were winning to the utmost degree, the next you lost.
muhahaha, yea. Had to cut for time but we pushed them to Leon and then the republicans left some gaps open and Spain was able to snake, I fell back to Barcelona thinking I could hold it safer but the republicans capped. Not sure if it was the mod or their stability was super low.
I always punch through the Maginot jst to make my friend look noob😂
Breaking the maginot is always fun. 0% chance the axis would have been able to do it this game though. lol
4:52
The most important indeed 😎
Can’t wait to see the Germany viseo
Just released!
Whoooo hooo
Pfff I could easily do that if I got a chance................................
If? What's this! th-cam.com/video/4ljSG5FwUPw/w-d-xo.html ;)
@@PydginPlays I refuse to comment without my lawyer present
*Ceddin Deddin and Plevne Marşi start playing*
@@ChalleonPlaysLOL
I had a MP game where I counter invaded Germany as France and won by 1942
That's basically what would have happened.
Absolutely glorious
heheh
honestly a good video
Quitting when your winning sucks though.
nah, I was happy for the W in that moment.
essshpoorttt alta!
I know this video is relatively old. But what tank template did you use and is it still relevant to todays version?
I didn't show template because it was unique to the mod. Motorized gets 40% hardness in this mod. But even now the template would be outdated but the idea was to make a heavy tank and stack armour to get 30% of the top armour value and then add a heavy tank. I think the composition was 13 motorized 2 heavy tank. If I recall correctly. It wouldn't be value for money in vanilla, better to just do a standard medium tank template.
@@PydginPlays you can't get those stat with motorised may be mechanized and still...
I know it is a lot of work, but could you have subtitles for some of the non english speakers some of them are kinda hard to understand
I'll see what I can do.
Can put axis pov i whant to see some panik😂
What graphics mod did you use? Or was it just part of whatever mp mod your using (evident by the void of Switzerland lmao)
I think it is Total War mod
It says it in the description.
@@IMP_ROM mod is banned right now
@@BobSample40 Do you know why?
@@IMP_ROM no
This is so painful to watch. U never use ur planning bonus when clicking them and u grinded absolutely nothing in Spain. If Germany can’t beat a player that does this, he must have been horrible xD
he got the exp he needed from spain, spain wasnt about grinding but denying axis grind. Also, he didnt get planning but didnt and couldnt attack due to lack of infantry
@@janys6502 A. Even in the brief clips he showed us, u can see that he's not denying grind in spain but fighting AI divisions for no reason (unless he tries to grind).
B. He literally clicked them multiple times in the video - no reason not to do those click with Planning bonus xD
he did all the grinding he need to for flexible defense. That made a HUGE difference in this, combined with entrenchment as you could see clearly in the video. He actually played like a France that wanted to defend, rather than attack the attack...which is what historical France was lined up to do.
great hold, just surprised you‘re not taking advantage of planning bonus in the north, especially since you‘re manually moving your tanks and dont have a frontline / fallbackline active
I really had no intention of pushing, but you're right more stats are more stats.
@@PydginPlays in the beginning you were clicking that one province north of paris, which was a perfect strategy, there it would‘ve been helpful
I love good France mp game.
Me too, I really like playing France. I know most people don't, but the possibility that something like this could happen makes it worth it.
undeniably based
More france pls
no fuel germany
just stop at the gas stations on the way!
It was awkward when they lost the spanish civil war
nationalists won, that was to be expected.
@@PydginPlays Oh my bad, a second before the end I just saw that the republicans held A LOT of ground
this happens from time to time in my games, to fix it by caping Germany (the people revolt due to not wanting to have another ww1 is the lore behind it) and split it like in irl 1945 and then just have a commi vs capitalist's game
Bro you could have pushed into them wayy earlier back
I didn't want to be mean. :S
I wanna know what happened in the around the maginot push, the tanks thought they were encircled
What are the templates that you used as France?
What tanks are you using that have such that high of defense?
Mot/Mech (19) + Heavy tank (2), but I also stacked entrenchment which basically doubled my stats when defending.
@@PydginPlayswhat is your tank design?
@@prodrom Bit late but at 9:55 he shows it, it's the base French heavy tank but with the turret and gun swapped I'm pretty sure
Who were the players? Uk, france, brazil, germany and japan?
What’s the build? What templates did you use?
Shesh! Good job
Thanks!
Weird to let them get your land, when they don't make it. Haha what game is this?
Hearts of Iron 4
Man can you tell me yout divisions template ? Very interesting stats
just 40w mot/mech with a couple heavy tanks. It's modded so I wouldn't bother copying the templates.
