Alright Paradox what the fuck. I encourage fascism in India hoping for just a flag and minister change but I instead get a fucking Nationalist India rebelling against the British Raj AND against me. At least they only have like 12 divisions. This shit should be quick.

What are some min-maxed division compositions? In HoI3 I always tried for the 5 battalion research and then usually had 3-4 inf and 1 art, but I don't understand the new format at all, and I think what is optimal depends on which of the strategy things you pick.

Whenever my divisions come out, even when I assign them to a front, for some reason they just stand there and say they don't have orders.

>>144672308
Mechanics as a whole feel more refined than HOI3

Production system much more interesting than dealing with IC bars and keeps you more engaged in the prewar periods as you figure what you want excess of for the war

Extending on the above - Factory system is nice and having to choose between more old light tanks VS less new heavy tanks makes for some very interesting situations. Also updating old equipment with variants is extremely cool imo

Air war much better

More flavor than HOI3 (DH is about tied, however)

Trading more interesting

Battleplans are enjoyable if you don't go full meme and draw a giant arrow across the map

The big one for me though, is the fact that the AI can handle the game going off the rails. I personally am a big fan of the ahistorical game - no more AI breaking diplomacy moves such as HOI3, and no more having diplomacy be something that is mainly event centric, such as DH/HOI3. As a whole it feels much more dynamic and is much more engaging (too me at least).

Think I'll just abandon this game, can't do anything as I don't have naval superiority to make an invasion and every ship I make gets insta destroyed by port strike

Also I could probably hold out forever, the AI just launches 15 naval invasions every month and most are pretty small, all in belfast because it's a port and an occupied province, so the ai definitely isn't great

Plus Germany leaving 1/3 of its army at coppenhagen and fighting the swedes and danes is pretty shit ai

!CAUTION!

Paradox has paid shills in these threads. Their main tactic right now is to present HoI4 as 'cool' and 'improved' while displaying older Hearts of Iron games such as HoI3 and DH as 'archaic' and 'shitty'.

Basically, they're shitting on the old and trying to push the new so that it becomes the mainstay in /gsg/. This is what happened with EU3 being tossed to the side and EU4 being the new 'go-to' EU game despite it's inherent inferiority to it's predecessor.

Keep true to the tradition games. EU2/EU3, Ricky/Vicky2, DH/HoI3, CK2 pre-Horselords, and Knights of Honor.

What a difficult and complex game! Congratulations Johan!

>>144674716
>This triggers the Sardinia-Piedmontfag

I've played around for a few hours now and it's becoming really clear that absolutely no one bothered testing this game at all.

The main problem is the political "system", which completely falls apart like a meringue left out in the sun. It is incredibly buggy and quickly leads to ridiculous or broken situations.

For example, turning the UK fascist enables cheese like spamming the "support party" option on the Netherlands/Belgium so you can take the Benelux intervention national focus and get a free CB. This obviously wasn't intended and makes no sense in the context of the national focus but it isn't difficult to do at all.

It also causes every one of your vassals to drop out of your faction, but because you are still technically head of the Allies you cannot join other Axis powers and you *still* get Allied events, while (now) friendly powers like Japan or Italy that aren't aligned yet can be brought to the Allies.

How in the world did no one say anything about this until now? Were streamers even actually playing the game? Was everyone just comatose before this was released?

Simply put, Artillery negates any and all terrain bonus/modifiers that mountain infantry gives you.

If you're gonna add anything to Mountain its either engineers or another Mountain regiment.
Id go for another Mountain regiment since Engs will barely add any terrain bonus that mountain will already adds but without the combat attack of mountain.

Oh jeez yeah, that makes sense, since the bonuses are division wide. I guess that explains why we lost three battles of Bern before we eventually won.

I still don't understand what the fuck Engineers are for.

>>144677290
If you want a non-meme answer, I think it ultimately comes down to the fact it's all still too much of a game. You look at the DLC in EUIV for the 30 years war, that was supposed to make more realistic combat but the army numbers for each side, how military campaigns are undertaken, how nations go back and forth at negotiating tables, still none were really accurate, they just have shallow imitations built on game mechanics that we as humans can understand and manipulate.

That's why I think modded Vicky 2 is the most popular thing on here by far. It's less about gaming the mechanics to blob as it is about spreading culture and tinkering with national foci. On these fronts you need either little AI input or it's something a machine can handle at least relatively competently. If you go for a non-blob Vicky game focused on building a legit country the game comes closest to a history sim, not a overinflated board game, which is what /gsg/ is here for. The paradrones and reddit want the board game though, so that's what will always sell and hence be made. At least that's my take on things.

Zero competition.
Same goes with Total War games.
Also extends to unsuccessful competition genres which encompasses most things Blizzard produces. When was the last time you were hyped for really good RTS?

Engs just give terrain bonuses and fort attack.
They have practically non existent attack.

Personally, I only use them for Marine divisions.
3x Mar , 1x Eng.
Most people don't even bother with them.

I've even seen people who like to put them with armored divisions tho.
