^^ big gay

2019-10-02 10:18:08 UTC  

Enlarged homosexual

2019-10-02 10:20:16 UTC  

Precisely

2019-10-02 10:32:06 UTC  

Comrade Tracer was infected by the gay furry virus

2019-10-02 10:32:14 UTC  

What a loss

2019-10-02 10:33:21 UTC  

Penor

2019-10-02 10:34:47 UTC  

I'm still a pretty damn good HOI4 general

2019-10-02 10:35:04 UTC  

I’m bad at HoI4 :/

2019-10-02 10:35:12 UTC  

What do you mean

2019-10-02 10:35:22 UTC  

Germany os funking OP I always lose to them

2019-10-02 10:35:32 UTC  

What do you play as

2019-10-02 10:35:42 UTC  

I don’t understand how they have such strong units and they are seemingly infinite

2019-10-02 10:35:58 UTC  

You playing Vanilla?

2019-10-02 10:36:13 UTC  

Even pumping out tank units like no tomorrow they roll over my front line

2019-10-02 10:36:21 UTC  

Russia of course.

2019-10-02 10:36:26 UTC  

Okay

2019-10-02 10:39:49 UTC  

Well. The Germans are gonna pound your dick in constantly by default unless you railroad them. Historically, and by proxy, game mechanically, the Germans would be trained, well equipped, battle hardened, and zealous. The Russians stand barely a chance by default.

You have to either concede to the historical accuracy and play by historical tactics, or you have to employ your own.

The advantages of the Soviet Union are as true in real life as the game. You take Berlin, Germany falls. If Moscow is taken, the Soviets would only fight harder.

With having the most land, you can trade your land for casualties and pull back long enough to steamroll the germans later on in the war.

2019-10-02 10:40:51 UTC  

Early war success is like bathing in razor blades if you're soviet

2019-10-02 10:41:00 UTC  

Well that’s the thing they have way more tank divisions then they had historically

2019-10-02 10:42:26 UTC  

If that happens to be the case, you'll have to use your available units to your advantage. Create hardpoints on the map and make the most of soft and hard attacks.

2019-10-02 10:42:27 UTC  

I wanted to try a tactic of attacking Germany as quickly as possible so that that the front line would be smaller and the Axis wouldn’t be developed yet

2019-10-02 10:42:56 UTC  

Cause if you wait too long Japan just ass rapes you and there’s nothing you can really do

2019-10-02 10:43:05 UTC  

Impossible to fend off both sides at once

2019-10-02 10:43:06 UTC  

🤔

2019-10-02 10:43:31 UTC  

Japan never assaulted me. They tested my border but they never assaulted it further or declared war.

2019-10-02 10:43:55 UTC  

Well that’s probably because Germany declared war on you

2019-10-02 10:44:03 UTC  

I declared war on them

2019-10-02 10:44:21 UTC  

It seems to be a balancing mechanic idk

2019-10-02 10:44:29 UTC  

The other issue is the game is sorta buggy

2019-10-02 10:44:52 UTC  

I had a civil war and “Russia” pulled the Axis and Allies into the fight

2019-10-02 10:45:14 UTC  

I literally have every country outside of Axis as an enemy and an ally due to a weird fucking bug

2019-10-02 10:45:50 UTC  

The issue with that is Russia despite capitulating was still technically existent since the war was never ending

2019-10-02 10:46:16 UTC  

Thus I was unable to use any decisions that were restricted by being in a civil war

2019-10-02 10:46:29 UTC  

Even though they had capitulated...

2019-10-02 10:46:30 UTC  

Well, politics are huge. If you do anything that disrupts the predefined historical triggers which alter game stats to a point for accuracy, you'll run the game off course and it can get fucky from there.

I declared war on the german empire as france in 1910 and I immediately faced off the newly formed 3rd reich

2019-10-02 10:46:56 UTC  

Things got fucky.

2019-10-02 10:47:47 UTC  

Ever tried to play as democratic Japan

2019-10-02 10:48:10 UTC  

If I play the USSR, I have to wait for hitler to assault me in 41, otherwise I'm going to face off against the axis, and if I declare war, I'll generate world tension that'll actually push my allies away from me and they won't support me in the conflict.

2019-10-02 10:48:13 UTC  

I played as Japan, went Shogunate, then converted to democratic.

2019-10-02 10:48:31 UTC  

I completed the game without fighting a single war

2019-10-02 10:48:57 UTC  

I prefer to take the entire hemisphere under the hammer and sickle.
