    With the air land doctrine from superior firepower researched, exceeding combat width and +75% air superiority, the bonuses will totally remove defensive bonuses for level 5 forts and lower. With the siege artillery fort attack trait you can even do an extra +20 attack vs forts!

      **You can already get tons of army xp from lend lease and attache to china; especially if you combine them with your army chief that gives you 10% army xp gain. The amount you get from 1 div training is nothing compared to that. Also most of your starting divisions are halfway to rank 3 and trying to get new fresh divions to rank 3 will cost you alot of inf equipment: Also if you delete them you will have to get around the 100k cap limit when trying to mass recruit your divisions and for what? Extra 50 army xp you get from only 2 years of 1div training?**

    Dustin hit it out of the ball park again. So I didn't understand what the Reinforce rating meant. I thought it referred to reinforcing divisional loss of strength in combat. That is really important to know. I wonder how the game determines how fast a division receives strength reinforcement from losses or is that just a fixed modifier for the game? Obviously, supply has to figure in to that calculation but is there some other modifier? Thanks Dustin.....

  • @Munky332
    @Munky332 Pƙed 4 lety

    Really wish they would re-work the advisor system for bonuses toward specific researches like you showed w/ the Tanks. I think it would make more sense to have that bonus applied when you design new models. In fact, I kind of hope at some point they apply the whole MTG idea toward the ground and air war too. Would be interesting to see some different style tanks and planes with different bonuses. Wish they would update the division designer a bit too.
    Maybe I'm missing it, but is there a way to limit specific air wings to only use specific models of aircraft? There's been a few moments when I wanted to use older models over newer models in specific areas of the world, not wasting the newer models which are more valuable elsewhere or even stockpiled for replacements where needed? ie I was fighting in South America, had a couple air wings there, didn't need nor want fighter 2's & newly researched/produced fighter 3's there, the fighter 1's would have worked better as the enemy had limited air coverage to begin with. and/or I've had modded/maxed out Fighter 2's get replaced with new mint fighter 3's when I didn't want them to yet. really annoying.
    The division designer stat card seems to only show the newest equipment & research bonuses? is there a way to have it update when using/limiting to older equipment, without producing that division first? Would be handy to know how shitty some of my guard divisions are, and to maybe provide them with certain equipment for certain situations. would be nice to assign various equipment types maybe even in a % formula, say 20% of them get newer guns for now, then 50% later when production is good... so many possibilities, but seems like Paradox is squandering them.

    14:00 mining for early war nation due to mission locked is commonly known even among sp player since it was even pointed out during dev diary and dev stream. . FOR MP, the reason it is obviously banned and only allowed during actual war time because in vanilla -90% speed for fleet in fully mined sea zone means death sentence for any ship to attempt to sail there. And of course no one will be triggered by that but simply fixed by rehost or save file edit since anyone can easily find that if one were breakingf that rule. When u join a mp game , it is a norm to check and abide the rule. The so called "no mp communities dont wan to let other knows" applied for groups which they themselves will go around this mechanic when newer players did not know about it.
    anyway this video is quite informative for newer players but some of that will be too micro/macro intensive unless you are drilled to ur mind.

That way youll avoid western guarentee for the balkan reigons and be at war with greece yugoslavia romania and chezchkoslovakia.

      I agree, especially for countries like Germany where you need to try and make the most of your manpower, your going to be fighting alot in open areas, and you have near limitless steel it only makes sense. Sure, fuel can be a bit of an issue but as long as you get Romania on your side it should be a big issue. It's easier to get more fuel then more manpower when your throwing men into the woodchipper that is eastern europe and SPG's will allow you to leverage your superior industrial power and counter Russias superior numbers.

      They say that current wars are fought with the weapons of the last war, but that's always been most accurate when it comes to France. They went into the Franco-Prussian war thinking it would be a repeat of their fight with Prussia during the Napoleonic Wars, they went to war with Germany using Napoleonic style weapons and tactics, they fought WW2 like it was still 1916 and imho I think they fought the Algerian War like it was still a set piece war or maybe a colonial conflict and not a wide scale insurgency. If WW3 ever breaks out they'll probably try sending in bloody dreadnoughts and biplanes....

    2.-Army exp Exploit
    3.-Unless you want to end the game in latte 2000's and you get PP at a rate of 5+ per day is kinda a waste of time
    4.-A nice one
    5.-Is good to know but mostly only usefull if your divisions are going to be pushed back a lot and you have MP to waste (aka URSS or China)
    6.-Good to know so you dont get backfired for masives riots in you back.
    7.-Who use Motorized in place of Mech? (unless you're a really poor country)
    8.-Well...that what Air sup is for.
    9.-To be clear, the 100%'s bonuses dont apply to already research, even if you cancel and try it again, but you forget to say that Designers and other bonus do work, and is better to try to save those 100% or higher bonus so you can rush some tech, like having Heavy figthers T3 in the earlys/mid 1940's
    10,.Only 9 or the Designers count for 2?
    10+s, Usually for the begining of the war and anytime you have the uperhand Heavy Figthers are must go, and for the late war (when ppl already got T3 Figthers is better to use those
    About the Sea miners i really do not see any good use, even when figthing against UK & US, putting MInes covering all the zones where they could be/move and having the 1000's mines, the higher number of accidents they get was less that 10, actually the mines help more to get sea superiority that anything else...

      Dustinl796 Videos I changed it once because I was testing a mod and for a whole week I was kicking ass as Germany. Then I go back to the save and I noticed it was Civilian. :(

      I highly disagree with that, Hearts of Iron 4 has brought me more enjoyment than any other game I've played

      @@dustinl796 glad you like it. Hoi2 was miles better. Hoi4 by comparison is far too sandbox for my liking. The front line system is barely manageable, constantly losing its formation, splitting into separate armies at bad points. Forever having to redraw the lines. It's horrid.
