    You know, seeing this video reminded me why, despite my head telling he that Hoi is not that hard, my Steam account tells me I have 500+ hours in this game and at least 100 of those were just learning the game ( add another hundred for every new Mechanic added in a DLC) so really: can’t blame you for not understanding some things.

    I feel decently comfortable with most other PDX games, but HOI4 confuses the shit out of me. I load up a save, look at the factories and just nope out. I've read guides, watched videos, ect. I know WHAT to do, I don't know WHY to do it. How do I know how many factories to make, how do I know what my army is missing.
    HOI4 will forever be out of my reach. But I enjoy watching you play, You somehow are so chaotic and yet successful! Well... to degree

    You can do it! It took me about a month to not lose instantly, i dont call myself competent despite having about 1000 hours in it even now....
    My biggest tips how not to die:
    -Look out for supply! Without supply even the best divisions are thrash your best friends are a shit load of trucks,grand battle plan doctrine helps with supply too so its the best one, haing small templates (about 20 width) with logistic company in each of them.
    -Make sure your divs have full equipment!
    Hope this helps good luck with the game....

  • @timthndr2996
    @timthndr2996 ปีที่แล้ว +5

    Sometimes less is more in this game. Too many units is just confusing and makes managing supply so much harder. I think you need to improve the division template to make the individual divisions. And you really did choose one of the harder starts in the game. The soviets usually die after the civil war because of the germans. Their industry is so much better if the soviets didn't do all the base focuses and you just don't have the time for them if you need to fight off stalins paranoia

    You ARE playing as one of the more difficult countries. The Soviet union is difficult to play as.

  • @TalonAshlar
    @TalonAshlar ปีที่แล้ว

    Ok a couple of hoi tips , 1) fight in areas where you have supply and at least (yellow) limited air superiority and if you don't have these things stay defensive. 2) let most of your frontline dig in and only attack with a small portion of forces but in overwhelming force.
    3) 80% of your divisions should be defensive (Mostly rifles with support engineers and aa), once you have created a defensive division template duplicate it and create an offensive division with more stuff and as much as 50% armor or artillery and the other %50 infantry or trucks. (High population nations can just use arty.) Also set your offensive division to the tipple golden chevron (priority for reinforcement.
    Play china with no ai frontline and learn to fallback and defend then counterattack late game when you unlock powerful focusses.

    Great game as USSR! A successful revolution against Stalin is difficult, usually takes a few tries to get the right balance of political paranoia vs de-Stalinization. The Latvians 🇱🇻 allowed the Germans military access, but if you reloaded to right before you declared war on Germany you'd be fine as long you start the war with Latvia 🇱🇻 first and beat them before attacking Germany

    You didn't lose to Latvia, you lost to Germany which invaded by using Latvia to get to you.
    Also, Moscow is the best capital to have because you have trains running all over the place that give you the possibility to supply your troops. You also have the ability use motorisation supply for all your divisions using the army interface screen. That way you don't manually have to change the supply of each province.
    You need to upgrade your troops using army experience, giving them better equipment and especially support equipment. Artillery is very important because that lets you break through the enemy's tanks. You also did the mistake of attacking the German line first when they were going to attack you. When able, always let the enemy attack you first so that their organisation goes down and then attack them.
    Also, use the battle plan button so you don't need to micro everything. Micro is good certain times, but when the enemy has so many holes in their front it is better to just use the battle plan.

    You're still building civs in 1941? Generally you should always start building military factories at least one and a half years before you get into a major war. Also, it wasn't just Latvia, but as they were in the Axis Germany was able to invade through them, but because they advanced from Latvian territory all land they took fell under latvian occupation.
