The irony is recon doesn't rubber for it's tires, but a float plane needs rubber
It's German engineering don't question it
Float planes can have wheels, the pby 5 has variants with wheels.
There is landing gear inside the floats
The point is a vehicle with at least four tires uses no rubber, a float plane may or may not have wheels but still cost rubber.
Didn’t you know its not for the tires but the band that spins the props? 😂
Pretty sure the best nation to do this with is Italy. Cos I'm 95% sure they have a production bonus to armored cars via focus tree.
Yeah, they have a focus that gives them -10% production cost, +5% reliability, as well as 2x75% cost reductions for mobile warfare, and a 150% research bonus to armoured cars.
I'm just curious if there is a scenario where you would pick motorized+cars instead of motorized+lighttanks?
Like you say, maaaybe with Italy the lower production cost/resource requirement and the slightly higher speed later on could be worth it?
But yeah just raw cars is a meme, worse than artillery only xD
@@acey195 Oh yeah, early game their actually kind of good. If you do it late game with a semi chunky light tank template in the recon role you can actually manage enough armour to not be terrible, and you'll usually melt tank divisions.
@@acey195No. Armored cars are terrible.
italy may have some pretty good bonuses for it, but even with 10% cost reduction and 5% reliability bonuses, it is still realy bad.
trust me, when BBA came in a saw these bonuses and whent full on armored cars replacement for tanks, seeing if would do anything, and it did not whent well...
I used armoured cars in the RoN mod in the 1900 start date, and honestly had a similar experience. At first it goes kinda well because they act like light tanks but as soon as the enemy can peirce you you get screwed.
1900 do you mean a mod if so the mod i remenber with that start date is the rise of nations and when i played the ai was bugged and couldnt make planes and tank nor piercing units in other start dates where the ai starts with planes and tanks researched they started using them by the way in 1900start date i was able to conquer the world by 1920s with just armored cars and planes.
@@dbriner-jo5tv pretty much, except I played as Japan and Germany kinda took over the world while I was busy with Russia (I have a YT series on it) so I’m kinda fighting for existence 😅
My truck needs more ARMOR!!!
Yes
give it a GUN to!!!

Ahhh yes, the Armored car, introduced in LR for anti-partisan duties, but ultimatly outclassed by WW1 machinegun-lawnmowers after NSB introduced the tank designer.

its still very useful against partisans
Challenge: mechanized only
The only infantry you can use is mechanized infantry and amphtracks because they are basically mechanized marines.
You can use artillery tanks and other stuff like that bonus challenge: do it as France.
i mean u really cant get mechanized till like 38-39 so unless u literally dont plan to go to war till 41-42 its a pretty pointless challenge, similar to rocket artilliery you dont get it so late that its just a bad challenge
@@snekthekek8668 Since Mechanized is pretty much an upgrade to Motorized, maybe they could allow Motorized to be used until 39' rolls around?
what gabe said, mot. only till you unlock mech, then only that onwards
There are plenty of countrys with research bonus for mech so you could get it in like 38 and if you switch full production on it it would be ready in 1940@@snekthekek8668
The best "Armored Car" you can do is just take a Light Tank and slap wheels on it instead of tracks.
Here's the thing, if I'm not mistaken, you can use the tank designer to give wheels to tanks. That turns them into armored cars/trucks, right? *even though it'll still say that they're tanks in the game.
if you did treaty with the soviets you could've gotten 2x 100% research bonus for armor, which curiously counts armored cars too and get those Pumas earlier. also you can increase it's stats with "create variant" just like you would with mechanized but at a cost to production.
Send this as a disaster save to Bittersteel and see what he can do with it!
😈
Heres a fun challenge: Do the "Not One Step Back" Achievement, but start in the 1939 scenario. I've tried it and its quite hard, but not impossible.
Fighting with these probably looks like that Dodge Challenger advert where they chase away the British in the cars
Maybe the true armored cars were the friends we made along the way
My challenge to you is you can only use the weapons you get at the start of the game. No weapon research allowed 😂
JaythePotato actually did a challenge for the Armored Cars. And it went as well as you thought it would.
I mean you can just upgrade the armored cars in the edit template thingy. They can become quite strong actually, but it’s costly…
Obscure note on the lack of rubber for the armoured cars. Before synthetic rubber production took off, countries with a lack of ready access to natural rubber experimented with all sorts of different wheels and tyres. Because it was blockaded, Germany already experimented with steel tyres in World War I.
maybe try again but you can use support-units and/or when you create a Division, the last slot of a line can be what ever you want, so you can boost your armored cars wit other units at a heavy cost
Some butterfly flapped its wings one extra time and created this incredibly cursed timeline. At least it saved Poland from Mr. Mustache. I wonder if the Soviet Union uses only snow shovels in this timeline?
The AC can be used for garrisons if you care more about saving manpower than industrial efficiency.
Painful to watch 😂 but still entertaining ❤
Thanks for your hard work
Idea: hoi4 but all focuses are chosen by an AI
Yes.
AI in game, or a spinning wheel with all of the focuses he could possibly do on them?
Type ai human an con
As of today I only have about four more of your videos to watch. I find your gameplay to be both enlightening and amusing af.
Watched the 84' Red Dawn yesterday and was wondering if you could possibly pull off the invasion of the USA while keeping it as close to the movie as possible?
So challenge: As either Cuba, Nicaragua or Russia join a faction with the other two and lead an invasion into the USA while simultaneously fighting the Chinese
Navy only no air or army; objective SURVIVE
The French spy: “Yeah for some fucking reason the Germans have just built a bunch of cars”
imagine not using armored car recon, its purely why you lost clearly
Episode 2 of asking Stak to play austria and reforming the holy roman empire in r56
So the more realistic option is to do Light SP Artillery only, and you have to use wheeled suspension. At that point it's basically an armored car that doesn't suck as bad.
I’d be more curious about seeing a special forces video of using Marines, mountain infantry , and paratroopers
Step on the gas gas gas
Wait no germany not what I ment
Bro could have Armor Car Recon 💀
Would love to see more Equestria at War, love the vids
10:17 Billions must play armored car only
Super heavy tanks and armored train only next👀
Armored cars give the highest amount of recon making them extremely powerful in defence
It might not be as much of a challenge. However, I think this would be more doable where the challenge is only using cars in general. So motorized, infantry and towed and motorized artillery are allowed
Ah yes, The Mustache Man and his Armoured Mercedes Vehicles 😂
Stak posts a video in base hoi4 I smile. Stak turns off historical I smile wider
1:07 I guess that sets the tone for the episode
New Stakuyi video hype!
Ok now try pre war equipment only, including air force and navy
Armored car rework when? Any predictions?
Intresting to see KVs in the picture from the repayment of the mefo bills
Damn the fact that 2 armored car divisions cant even break a cav division. Its freaking horses man how are they worse then a car. They really need balance the cars more cause they really aren't even worth touching at all unless its modded to hell
unrealistic af armored cars are OP in company of heroes
My guy didn't realize he was 1940 barbing the whole time XD
Armor cars challenge entails
Trucks,
Armored Cars,
Armored Trains,
Light armored planes,
Light armored Navy ships,
And only 15 infantry Divisions. Thats all u can use in this kind of challenge.
I want to see a support company only italy. Given they get a unique one which gives a bunch of hp you could have an insane amount of strength per combat width.
As I understand Armored Cars should be used in divisions like tanks, they decrease org as well, give armor and breakthrough but are way cheaper, kinda faster and use way less supplies. They can be useful in Africa and china.
Plays Germany for strength - locks himself out of the strongest part of the tree - ouch; But wait, he doesn't give up after that! Respect 🙂
Nice vid thanks, salutes from the Netherlands Antilles.👋
What about a video focused on strategic bombing? Not just air only playthru, but which focuses on first destroying the enemy's country and then just swarming them with fast units. The units only need to be able to hold, given that with destroyed supply lines the enemy would be a pushover.
im sure making a proper division with mech and armored cars would prob be a good cheap alternative to tanks and might actually work
Nice finally a Wish tanks playthrough
Next challenge should be Amph tanks only, no motorized in the division
You could’ve used Armoured Car Recon, and just had infantry equipment being made for the Anschluss.
Maybe allow trucks and supplies in the divisions so you can have some support for the division?
As America you can only fight in Europe and Asia is with planes and boats. The infantry that is in the islands can stay but no producing anything other than plane and boat.
Armored Cars - are Mech-Infantry....so next time Infantrytechtree????
A challenge: as any nation other than Germany or the US, kill one billion enemy combatants.
Do it again, mass armoured cars, but if you get the Puma then you have a chance. Also get nukes.
he forgot to put on victory or death and to modify the cars
I have a challenge for you can you conquer the entire world as Germany but you gotta use all the basic units
Demented hell we can create inside of the comment section? Sure thing!
Artillery only.
The armored cars couldn’t beat a dead horse
Challange idea: As Germany abide by the Treaty of Versailles.
Army Restrictions 100k men in the field MAX (Bonus Points if its 7 infantry 3 Calvary), no airforce, no armored cars/tanks, Disarmed Nation Conscription
Navy Limits: 6 battleships/battlecruisers/Heavy Cruiser, 6 Light cruisers, 24 Destroyers
industrial Restrictions: No Lend Leasing to nations (Except to France, UK, USA), Free Trade, Civilian Economy
(you may temporarily Ignore the treaty if you civil war to become Democratic until the civil war ends)
Armoured car recon was necessary.
If the Wehrmacht was Sponsored by BMW
bro forgot to upgrade his armored cars
Challenge: Play the game but you cannot play until 1940: no research, production, focus. Only thing allowed is response to certain events
Obey the treaty of Versaille!
would armored cars still be as bad if you could use them like space marines or add motorized infantry to the template? Tanks are really good but if you built a tank only division it would be pretty bad.
I've tried it, it's a solid eh. It gets to be ok if you max the armour on them, and on mechanized then make a mechanized+armoured car division, but even then it's not great. The cars are only really good for garrisons and recon companies.
Their okay with motorized being the bulk of the division being them. In fact, I use them instead of light tanks to save on production.
imo with NSB they should have folded armoured cars into the light tanks, with the stats that go well, and with the caveat for them that they need to use the wheel or half track suspension, so that at least you would be able to make something decent to use as a line btn of your divisions, and as an incentive to design those, well, give the supression bonus for the role and maybe make it so a line AC btn gives recon bonus at the cost of hardness (or something)
also with armoured cars you can create variants where you increase (some of) their stats, tho you can only touch armour, gun, engine and reliability, at the cost of a lot of army XP (400 total to max an AC tech level) and production cost (IC go brrrrr)
Play as UK, no land units allowed in France, prevent France from capitulating.
I notice you didn't add points to your cars. I don't know if it would have made a difference, but you should be able to beef up their stats the way armor and air used to work before the designer was added.
Challenge idea for you:
-New World Order Run as any European country, United States, Canada, South Africa, Australia, or New Zealand.
-No matter what, you're not allowed to declare war on any of the countries listed above, with the exception of communist countries, but you can declare war on any other country except fascists regardless of who the target is aligned with.
-You may not join another country's faction, but you may start one of your own.
-Any country you conquer that isn't or cannot become your core territory must be puppeted and allowed to earn back its freedom, or in the case of an ongoing war, must be allowed to form a collaboration government. You may choose not to call puppets or allies into a war, however.
-If you choose Hitler's Germany or Mussolini's Italy, you must keep historical mode on. However, you may go non-historical for any country that doesn't start fascist or if you choose to depose Benny to install either of the other fascist leaders.
-Bonus round, requires access to the console. Do you think you could pull off the challenge by starting off as Germany, choosing to oppose Hitler, and then taking command of the Reich after Himmler stages a coup? This would be an absolutely cursed run, but talking about deposing Mussolini got me thinking about that.
BTW, I'm not choosing arbitrary rules to trip you up. This is how I always play. Admittedly, I am a terrible player and have yet to complete the challenge before I cock everything up and turn it into an unmitigated disaster.
Next challenge should be bike units only
Now all we need is AA only
Mass assault deep battle doctrine has several buffs for the cars I think the soviet union is a good shot
Here's an Idea, an all wheeled army, meaning no foot soldiers unless they are mechanized & no tanks except Light Tanks since they can have the Wheeled options for their "tracks".
That’s a wheely good idea...
Why no support companies? Support artillery could change everything for you
Germany attempted a Mad Max.
Episode 30 of asking Stakuyi to play Equestria at War as Equestria with “Twilight Theory” turned on in custom game rules.
PLAY THE (not) STUPID PONY MOD!
Could you do a updated video on how to play HOI4 for beginners
Episode 2 of asking stakuyi to play as germany in kaisserredux
WOOOOO MAP GAME!!!
HE'S PLAYING THE MAP GAME!!!!
LETS GOOOOO
You can bypass ansluss by increasing world tension (through justifying), and then invite Austria into your faction. When you're in the same faction with Austria the Ansluss referendum will soon fire.
Hi Stakuyi! If you think it'd be worth it, I think a playthrough of the Youjo Senki Redux mod would be fun to see. =^x^=
I've used armored cars a couple of times and noticed no difference to light tanks
Lore of Hoi4 Impossible Armored Cars Challenge? The WORST IN THE GAME momentum 100
I'm pretty sure there are mods that would make this possible
Shovels only
Ah yes , the modern belgian army strategy 😂
@stakuyi what nation is the best for my first ever campaign in your opinion?
Shoulda used light wheeled tanks, because c'mon - it's basically the same.
France have a bonus to Armored cars to
Armored car recon!
Bob Semple only challenge when?
It's really funny that armoured car 1 is better than 2 or 3 because its cheaper and the stats dont matter
You ignored the opportunity to say Mercedes n**s. You are a better man than I! 😅
Video #32 of requesting stakuyi to play Magna Europa
I wish PDX reworked those less used equipments into something actual usable. Stuff like rockets, recon planes, anything of reccon, signal company, strat/tat bombers and others. Most of these equipments are either worst than useless or you research them in like 1945 when the game is basically over.
I played hoi4 for 1000 hours and I never used signal companies, reccon or amphibious tanks just because they are simply not worth it. In multiplayer they may be significant but in singleplayer, its just waste of IC.
