Is there a good "how to play" guide anywhere? I'm a Paradox vet but never could figure out the HOI series

I'd like to see a more fleshed out Americas, whether it is Mexican intervention in the Spanish Civil War, or ABC resistance to the United States, especially if the US goes down the Monroe doctrine path

Soviets deny Balta, so there's no East/West German votes, so Adenauer led whatever the Democratic tag for German Reich is, except I had attacked Germany so early they never got any of the Baltic ideas, the Democratic Germany decide to go to war against the allies

Every game I play, Germany gets rolled by UK, then Italy takes over the continent, whether it's in the Axis or not

Also nukes should damage units in the territory they're in I dropped like twenty nukes on Japan as Soviets without a navy to try to get them to surrender because I couldn't get through their 100+ divisions stationed on the home islands

I love playing the Soviets and sending tank volunteers to Spain (winning the civil war) and China/PRC to beat the Japanese Silly how five divisions of armor can tip an infantry war

Nationalist Spain auto joining the Axis while it's getting its poo poo kicked in is one of the dumb design things about this game I've also never seen Japan do anything outside of China

Did aKaiser Germany run and everyone is in the Allies except communist Spain and Norway (???) joined Japan, and the Polish alliance runs from Romans through the Baltics I have no idea how to do naval combat, I have like 150 divisions of infant and 25 of tanks, which I can't use without getting hosed by lack of supply How do you late game war

just finished a Maoist communist china run, I learned a lot about how fighting works, and I showed that an almost all-infantry army can win just by attrition, because I wound up with 70m manpower still in 1945 I need to figure out supply though, because it was killing me at the end, as well as lack of oil

Stairmaster posted:It's kind of hosed up you can't introduce a new ship type into service without naval xp. Also upgrading said ships. It should just cause 50% more for the first ship on a production line

I wish they adopted the ship design for tanks, researching hulls and armaments separately

i pulled all my troops to new england before firing the civil war and just swept west from there, the war shouldn't last long enough that the production from the west coast matters, not that the confederacy will even move fast enough to seize unguarded territory

mobius42 posted:What is the deal with peace conferences? I have tried Axis Netherlands a few times now and even if I paint France in orange and capture the VPs, I don't get a chance to claim land. I even ignored the call to arms for allies and still get shafted when they declare on France separately. When I get to the peace screen, Germany/Italy has already claimed everything and I am left with ~500 points that I can't spend. Territory isn't the totality of war contribution, combat plays a role too

The Kaiser joined the Allies to take on the communist international which had taken root in France, only for Japan to join fascist Mexico in the Hispanic Alliance, which was at war with the Allied US and proceed to take over Oceania and India. In the meantime, the US government fell to an internal communist revolution, but stayed in the Allies for some reason (?), occupying what had been decolonized Canada which had been annexed by Japan. Germany never joined the war against the Hispanic Alliance, and has neutral Miedymorze to its east with whom it is on good terms since dismantling the USSR together. It's 1946, and Germany doesn't need to concern itself with the pissing match between the British and Japanese navies over Mexico and India. Guess I'm done with this playthrough because I don't see the point in staying around another 5 years of nothing

xthetenth posted:I think you could go the other way, and make individual designs, be they heavy, light or medium, stem from a common tech trunk. If you've done all the research to make a good '40 light tank, you've got a decent amount of the legwork out of the way for any other '40 tank. That'd even be something you could do with a mod, even if it'd likely be a bit clunky. The naval way of representing guns/armor/engines would work great on tanks and airplanes too, especially tanks Towed gun research should really tie in to tanks, too, and actual tanks should cost more in production than tank destroyers/spg which don't have turrets, but get that breakthrough anyway thanks for coming to my ted talk WhiskeyJuvenile fucked around with this message at 23:27 on Mar 6, 2019 |

Fuligin posted:tank designer seems like it just follows inevitably at this point. i think it would own, as long as i can create some ratte-inspired obscenity mounted with battleship guns, so crushingly slow and heavy and fuel inefficient that it damages infrastructure just by existing having the loving tank have cost and fuel consumption based on engine/armor/gun would be so much better than what we have now

JerikTelorian posted:Patrol: DD, CL. Sensors are good here; I like to put good radar and planes on the CL for spotting and put sonar on the DD for finding subs; depth charges are mandatory on the DDs but less important for the CL. I try to keep the CLs light to keep their speed up. Speed and low fuel consumption are king for Patrol. Should I bother with guns or just sonar/radar/planes/depth charges?
