how do i git gud at dh?
>extend the Maginot line
Imagine that french couldnt think of that one, but they were already thinking about importing Black folk and women rights
2 posts in and some nonwhite ESL is already seething about something
They considered it IRL
Belgium chimped out when they tried it.
The eternal Bulge strikes again
Imagine giving a frick about what Belgium says.
>noooo, don't extend your fortifications towards us, we WANT to be trampled and used as a weakpoint
what were they thinking
They were thinking "we don't want Great War 2: Electric Boogaloo stuck on our soil for another decade or so due to French forts blocking the frontline from the start". They were also thinking "how about you c**ts come and defend us, so Germans stay in Germany".
>be belgium
>refuse to let france defend their border because they should be committed to your defence
>but also refuse to coordinate your defence with the french and british forces until the german actually invade because neutrality will protect you (like last time)
>then when the germans invade because you deliberately made yourself france's weakpoint, surrender without telling the brits or french you're going to do so
What did they mean by this?
Not my problem.
Based Aryans from Flanders doing their part to save EVROPA against the perfidious Anglo and the frogs.
Britain is directly responsible for the creation of the US and Belgium
Worst country of all time
>extend the Maginot line
You don't even need to do that, just make infantry and hold the river in Belgium. The hard part is killing Germany because the AI doesn't send their divisions to you in DH for some stupid reason and France alone doesn't have the manpower or IC to invade them easily.
I could have been way more efficient if I planned long term, but eventually I just tactically nuked two armies in Belgium, enveloped what was left, and occupied the entire left bank of the Rhine while America and the Soviets invaded from Holland and the east respectively
playing france in a WWII game feels wrong tbh
Try playing Czhechoslovakia
Vanilla is easy.If you're decent at the game you need to use mods.
1. Everyone is easy in any hearts of iron game because the AI is incompetent.
2. You have the advantage of knowing what is going to happen. Had this experience recently when playing as the US in HOI3 and I Pearl Harbored the Japs in 1941.
>2.
Is a massive advantage and the player can start to militarize in 1933 even if historicaly the government would have never given them funds to do so.
>even if historicaly the government would have never given them funds to do so.
Which is why you start with 25/50% dissent and need to clean that shit up by "wasting" your budget
hijacking this thread to ask how I play the Soviets in DH, what are the best naval compositions, and any tips on how to git gud in general?
>navy
>as Soviets
other than that, you're basically playing as Germany does. Large amounts of infantry divisions to hold the line while elite tank units punch in to break holes and create encirclement chances.
No I mean what are the best navy compositions in general, I don't bother with navy as basedviets. But thanks. Should I hold Dnieper like in goi4 or hold the border?
Pure Carriers.In vanilla they beat everything even during storms.
don't they need screening ships? Would 6/6's (6 carriers, 6 destroyers or light cruisers) be good?
Doesn't matter just use any screen that has enough range.
Hold the border and prioritize reorg rate. DH more than HOI4 rewards better organization management, and if you can get Germany lower on organization by the time they hit your Dneiper defences, you can push back pretty hard and potentially get crushing encirclements there.
>Playing turtle mode
Yes, it's very easy to play allies and win. Even Britain can rush defend the low-countries.
Real men go full ape taking the fight into Germany while controlling Poland so it never falls. Eventually Germany will surrender and you get a fun event and borders but it's gg at that point because the triggers stop for the USSR and Japan.
Guarantee Nationalist China. When Japan attacks mob them and use paratroopers to take the home islands.
Tell Hitler to get to fug and guarantee Poland.
>what are the best naval compositions
1. Spam carriers into a massive naval fleet with destroyers for cover
2. Spam submarines in a massive naval fleet
Destroy the enemy fleet and then it just becomes a mop-up operation because ships take ages to build.
are there any mods that balance the naval warfare? Naval warfare is very unbalanced in dh
My strat as France is to retech into mobility doctrine and just spam tanks and mot inf until 39 and then occupy the Rhineland when Germany attacks Poland. This makes their industry really bad so they can’t really build up enough to push you back. You should be able to get nukes first and just continue the industrial destruction of Germany until they collapse due to lack of oil and industry. The main downside is that the Brits and American AI don’t help out at all in this, which is absolutely moronic.
>Why is France so easy?
a competent player really fricks up the game in the ww2 scenario because the AI just can't compete
if you want to play france play the ww1 scenario
I don't get it, why do people expect France to be a total push over? It feels like most people don't understand why France lost and think they were just some insta white flag waving country who couldn't understand that the Germans would go through the low countries (when they already did that in ww1)
>why do people expect France to be a total push over
Mostly because for a World War 2 game to work France has to be a push over.
The war is over in 1939 otherwise.
>The war is over in 1939 otherwise.
Yes, the famous year where neither France nor Britain had actual fricking troops to send anywhere, so the Soviets can spend next 45 years teaching all Eastern Block about "Western Betrayal" (which didn't happen until Yalta)
Your point, crybitch?
