Why do I feel like "Recognize the Soviet Union" is Tito standing in front of a world map and pointing at the USSR and saying "I think it is...that one!"
You make fun of him, but there is a reason that Yugloslavia was one rare communist states independent from Soviet Union. And it is not becouse Stalin didnt want it.
Yugoslavia has the most powerful focus tree in HOI4 which is Unify the Kingdom,where all puppets and their states become core. You can't easily conquer Greece,Bulgaria,Romania, Hungary before 1939. UK and France will guarantee you which is also good. You can rush Fighter 3 in 1939 also. Love your work FBG!
It's only puppeted Bulgaria, Hungary, and the Yugoslavian states that get cored. Also, you don't get cores on territory your puppets don't control at the moment of that focus completing. For example, if you haven't yet conquered Istria or Zara from Italy, you will lose those cores once you unite the crowns. If you release Transylvania as a puppet but don't conquer the territory from Romania, you won't get those cores. It's still a good path, but it's not "core the world" good.
@@t0bb00 if I recall right there is a guide for that. Basically Bulgaria, Hungary and other countries in the region have focus trees to get cores too. So you feed Romania, Greece and, if I recall right, Turkey to Bulgaria, wait for it to core them and then core it. Same for Austria through Hungary. There's also some way to get a part of Italy. I don't recall the full list, but the timeline is built around early wars and the fact that fascists don't get guaranteed. And abusing said focuses of small neighbours, most of them broken ones(ie Bulgaria) added from Battle for Bosporus.
But focus tree is so long and boring, Italy starts to justify in 1940 when Germany declared war in 1941, we need more paths like maybe big Serbian or something like that, or like for big Croatia, we need true fascist and communist path, communist path with making your faction sucks, of course you get friends but we need focus to start and core them and make United Balkan Federation, and of course we should get any focus to get Bulgaria without justifying wargoal and taking their core because they are Yugoslav. For monarchist we need better unify the Yugoslavia, because in that time without Tito, people in Macedonia, Kosovo and Montenegro said that they are Serbs, why wouldn't we get same like for Bosnia or Croatia option to remain unified for some smaller nerfs until we unify, so unfinished focus tree.
I'll be honest, I've been running 27 width medium/heavy flame tank "space marines" since No Step Back came out pretty much. One support company/1 tank batallion makes a bigger difference in a 27 width than a fat 40 width so I figured it would work. You almost lead me astray with the the heretical 10 width meta, but in my steadfast adherence to the codex astartes I persevered. I am glad to see you have returned to the emperor's light.
@@smaragd1238 Strange. I have tried this and I have never moved so fast through Barbarosa. Even got the bonus from the Fuhrer directive by capping Leningrad, moscow and Stalingrad withint xxx days...
Neat strategy. I feel like this approach of flipping neighbors is something that La Resistance meant to do, but didn't quite work out. The propaganda and boost ideology missions are just too weak and the buffs don't do much to help them out. There should be a mechanic in the intelligence agency (or somewhere in focus trees?) to really strengthen these types of missions/operations to add another dimension to the game. I can see a strategy where a smallish nation in a 'safe' area could invest in a strong agency (as opposed to military) to flip nations to their faction or even puppet them. It would potentially be a lot of button-clicking as you did here, but it would be a neat alternative way to build up an industry and manpower for a nation that doesn't start with much. I could see doing this with nations that start out in the small/medium size like Iran, Greece, Bulgaria, the Scandinanvians, Argentina, etc. It would also be cool to actually destabilize enemies, or imagine being the UK/USA and flipping Germany to democratic on historical. It would have to be expensive to a degree, but also just be doable, which it currently isn't. As-is, the spy agency basically only has 3 uses: intelligence for military buffs, cryptography for military buffs, and collaboration government for compliance.
I will never stop whining about how bad Paradox espionage expansions are. Or at least are in Stellaris and HOI4. "Lets have an entire expansion based around something nobody is asking for! Lets make it separate to the normal game experience and not very fun. Oh, and just for good measure, lets make it near useless!" Don't know what they were smoking, but the fact they did it twice boggles my mind. Only reason why I ever go spies is if I'm playing multiplayer and am really tryharding. Other than that...for the achievements?
paraguay can get all south america except uraguay and the euros cause of it. take out bolivia, annex or puppet, communist coup faction chile, then kick chile from faction and justify. since chile is 100 percent communist from the coup united states will not get involved in paraguay chile war, before united states completes monroe doctrine, take out argentina, coup all other countries until the allied holdings and uraguay, who is too stable to get coup'ed. from then on tugal is easy to take out and is not backed by anyone. spain is next, but by that time in the game you will get nuked unless you man your airforce which is almost impossible

As long as you are using my strat of using light tank recon and light flame tanks with light infantry, maybe you will also be interested in: Light tank supported special forces, special forces terrain modifiers apply to the whole division, just picture mountaineers carrying tanks up the side of mountains.
@@cebulak6695 It does matter. Recon companies can slow your division down. You can easily check this yourself by attaching a cavalry recon to a motorized division, it'll instantly get slowed to cavalry speed.
Idk if you got this idea from me posting it on one of your meta videos but I'm very happy to see you discover this. Light tank recon is very good for early game expansion.
Big brain of you to make a prediction after an event has happened. Next time you make a prediction made a video about it and see if it stands the test of time
7:30 Have you tried this or only looked at the game files? The ways of RNG calculations are a mystery, and based on the calculation's order, having Albania in your faction would either make them always resist Italy even on historical, or have no effect at all.
Germany AI have infinitary division hardcoded to 9 infantry, 3 artillery, arty company, engineer company and AA company, so that mean no AT company, and low penetration. Also it only research 1st AA gun. So until 42/43 and RPGs, they have around 14,3 penetration, and it goes above 30ish after 43.
In my variation of this, I take the like, 15% cost hit for using improved cannon 2, as this goes a long way towards completely neutering any concentrated breakthrough medium tanks, and makes this set up more meta-division resistant. The peak armor a support company like this can threaten is actually quite high, of around 45-ish, if you pick up the tech for squeeze bores, but the casual small cannon 2 high soft-attack loadout knocks out 25-30 armor divisions. While this isn't enough to beat a major nation in multiplayer, it at least gives you the ability to put up a very serious fight against modded multi-player emulating Ai's which provide increased difficulty.
Any thoughts on whether adding a light tank division or two into the infantry template would increase effectiveness? The whole historical “French” template of incorporation of armor into infantry divisions instead of dedicated armor? Seems that with all the recent changes the potential is there now.
Were they light though? Both H35/39 and R35/40 were still infantry tanks with rather heavy armor and questionable mobility. If I recall right, medium cavalry/cruiser S35 by Somua had comparable armor, but better gun and mobility then them. Then there were two other mediums, infantry D2 and "char de bataille" B1(idk what to call it and translating it would cause confusion with MBTs) which also weren't any slower then supposedly "light" infantry tanks(at least when they were maintained). The only tank that can match the definition of light as, well, light is AMC. And if you want to stretch definition of tank to armored cars, those few prototypes of 47mm armed Panhard. Meanwhile french heavies like Char 2C, FCM F1 and ARL/AMX Tracteur were basically a waste of research budget.
@@TheArklyte kinda but any nation in hoi4 that can spit out heavies in enough number can afford dedicated armor divisions for encirclements… thinking mid to high production capable minor powers that need to push the line with infantry anyways… 24 infantry divisions with a slot or two of added lower production light tanks spread across a front of of an army group would increase the benefits of a primary infantry push. Same infantry division template copied but to add on a little extra armor/piercing etc…
@@chriscomchi4042 1)Feedback did a video on tanks vs rocket artillery specifically for those nations. 2)the point of using light flame company and light tanks recon company supports are primarily for bonuses to movement, combat, defense and even (albeit small) to entrenchment. For cheap. Armor, hardness and piercing are just bonuses to that. You want to turn it over on its head in priority list.
I tried defending Equestria with 2 artillery, anti air support, anti tank support, and light tank support. and it was impossible to defeat the enemys 25+ armor tank divisions. RIP Its much harder than defending france! from nazi armor divisions
Ideology shift is one of the things I like most about the game. I wish they had a system more like MDawn's. That mod has major issues, but that bit is fantastic.
@@TheBusbyBabes the unit templates are so expensive that the AI and many players have a hard time covering the production costs (majors aside). It takes a lot of mil exp to change them. Makes many nations far less viable than they should be. That said, I haven't run it since the new update. May have gotten better there.
@@RainbowMuse2 for real. Like im playing the afghan northern alliance and the basic infantry unit requires 800 small arms, a bunch of c&c equipment, 54 ATGM's, 40 MANPADS, 14 Main battle tanks, 16 IFV's, some APC's and 6 self propelled artillery. Do you know how many mils afghanistan has to produce all of this? 0! And how many civs does it have to build the mils? 0! "Oh but surely you can make money to buy the equipment?" With what? The afghan economy is non existent and the focus tree makes it go from non existent to worse. And in the end game you're supposed to fight pakistan (which surprisingly im winning).
@@mappingshaman5280 precisely. It is like they took no note of continuing armament requirements at all. The templates should start out basic, but with a broad range of core unit types, as would fit best with mods like MDawn and Black ICE.
I’ve watched this channel for about 4/5 years. The editing has got much better. I can’t afford to buy a good PC to play the game🤣🤣. But I feel as if I could play the game with my eyes closed thanks to Dave
in the spirit of the army in the officer corps as communist you can get ideological loyalty which gives an extra 500 manpower weekly, which isn't a lot but it can help when playing as a minor nation
Not even most minors as even yugoslavia can easily get like 500k on the field, idealogical loyalty is only really useful for micro nations like tannu tuva, luxembourg, etc.
I watched one of your videos last week about the armor supports and did an Italy iron man nonhistorical. Everything was great. Until Austria hungry formed after I sent two armies on maven invasions to Germany’s north coast lol this division design is OP
My man Ive just palyed Yugo non historical. What I did is convert roughly 30% of my forces to 7/2 to mechanized (4 mechanized, 3 motorized, 2 motorized artillery) ... 500 defense and 140 breakthrough with 10km/h speed with -80% supply use ... THE NUMBERS
Would you consider this strat, but changing to Anti Tank Car? (I'm thinking of running this since I still don't have the tank expansion.) Let me know. Cheers!
Ok, so I'm totally new to this game (dropped $150 for the ultimate edition on steam last weekend... 🤦♂️) I've done about 4 game builds, first of which was the 190 something factories by 39... gave up one that one during Spanish civil war as I just couldnt win... each time I've gone thru a new game build I've learned leaps and bounds... granted I'm using straight cheat codes at this point, but that's pretty much helping me to understand out how everything fits together in this puzzle... I'm in the middle of the summer 1936 Germany (been using ic command at midnight to get daily ship production, honestly this is the only way I've been able to figure out how to build my navy from a structure standpoint)... I got all of my air wings made, mostly full trained, within the next 2-3 game days I should have all my navies up and training. I have 3 armies in one army group setup to be defense from franceto the west, as they almost always invade me when I'm invading poland... maybe I'm waiting too late in game to invade? Neither here nor there... I've watched about a ton of videos for this game to learn stuff, and while generally that has helped a ton... the current meta is what escapes me... the newest game build I'm doing I've been tweaking in the early stages since like friday... by a tech level I should flatten the world, but that hasnt always worked when I've had that mindset... what kind of invasion division combat widths should I be looking at with medium panzer 4s? What kind of combat widths should I be looking at for basic infantry? What combat widths are best for defending a line? I just wanna play thru this game and do 100% world domination... I realize when I get places like Asia the combat meta will be way different, Africa too, but for now I wanna take up to the soviet union and form a line... either way, any combat width division tips you can throw at me so i can actually enjoy this play thru and not get my ass kicked? Lol... i just want the last 2 days I spent setting this up to count... lol
Hey feedback, since you’re on the whole “focuses that aren’t used often” roll right now, I’ve got a suggestion: Russian civil war, install the fascists, go down the focuses to conquer Asia and the Pacific and maybe have Vladivostok as the Capital to boot. Don’t think I’ve seen any videos or playthroughs of anyone doing that path. Unless I’m not looking hard enough
So like I just started playing HOI4, and I’m only 6 minutes into the video. But isn’t adding armored recon to everything the most obvious move ever, how is this news? It’s the first thing I do in any play through, make sure my infantry has tanks in the 30s when almost everyone has no actual tanks.
How long before Paradox adds horses to the trade resources? Would that nerf every technique or strategy that uses cavalry units to spam or move quickly?
One thing with tanks that seem to be very meta - garrisons. Take basic light tank and add heavy machine gun for a total of 1xp. You will get an extremely cheap tank with terrible stats, but that doesnt matter. Create a division with a few of them and put it on garrison duty. It has the same suppresion as armoured cars, but its few times cheaper and more armoured, and its better in every way than infantry or cavalery for this. Just one factory as soon as possible should stockiple enough of them I barely started the video, maybe you talk about it later anyway
Ok, but I just wanted to ask, why didn't you go for good fighters, there are lots of good buffs for fighter research. You could've done that instead of AA
Hey. Love the videos. Trying out the template here. However I can't seem to add the flame tank as support and (maybe because of this) my armour is only 5.5. My main light tank is 30(ish). What am I doing wrong? (anyone). *Edit*. Just saw that I need to make them both support. However, I've done that any my armour is still only around 5.

Lol IRL Tito would be fighting in the Spanish Civil War rn
I got just today the easiest war against the Soviets with a similar strategy. Op as hell.
Would you consider this strat, but changing to Anti Tank Car? (I'm thinking of running this since I still don't have the tank expansion.) Let me know. Cheers!
Here is a fun one I have tried to do - a free Manchugo - objectives 1. China. 2. Soviet Union. 3. No world conquest. So far I have failed.
maintenance just capturing equipment from others is just noice
Ok, so I'm totally new to this game (dropped $150 for the ultimate edition on steam last weekend... 🤦♂️) I've done about 4 game builds, first of which was the 190 something factories by 39... gave up one that one during Spanish civil war as I just couldnt win... each time I've gone thru a new game build I've learned leaps and bounds... granted I'm using straight cheat codes at this point, but that's pretty much helping me to understand out how everything fits together in this puzzle... I'm in the middle of the summer 1936 Germany (been using ic command at midnight to get daily ship production, honestly this is the only way I've been able to figure out how to build my navy from a structure standpoint)... I got all of my air wings made, mostly full trained, within the next 2-3 game days I should have all my navies up and training. I have 3 armies in one army group setup to be defense from franceto the west, as they almost always invade me when I'm invading poland... maybe I'm waiting too late in game to invade? Neither here nor there... I've watched about a ton of videos for this game to learn stuff, and while generally that has helped a ton... the current meta is what escapes me... the newest game build I'm doing I've been tweaking in the early stages since like friday... by a tech level I should flatten the world, but that hasnt always worked when I've had that mindset... what kind of invasion division combat widths should I be looking at with medium panzer 4s? What kind of combat widths should I be looking at for basic infantry? What combat widths are best for defending a line? I just wanna play thru this game and do 100% world domination... I realize when I get places like Asia the combat meta will be way different, Africa too, but for now I wanna take up to the soviet union and form a line... either way, any combat width division tips you can throw at me so i can actually enjoy this play thru and not get my ass kicked? Lol... i just want the last 2 days I spent setting this up to count... lol
Is NSB required for this to work or does Vanilla Hoi4 w/o NSB work just the same?
Where is the equipment capture list?
As someone born in former Yugoslavia 3:23 hurt a lot...
Hey feedback, since you’re on the whole “focuses that aren’t used often” roll right now, I’ve got a suggestion: Russian civil war, install the fascists, go down the focuses to conquer Asia and the Pacific and maybe have Vladivostok as the Capital to boot. Don’t think I’ve seen any videos or playthroughs of anyone doing that path. Unless I’m not looking hard enough
Hehe…Dave said “do-do”. 😂
I will use this at some point. Can you do South Africa?
Did someone recognize that his speed is going faster than a maxed out light tank?
since u have chronium could u make a heavy flame tank to get even more armor? do recon only work with light tank? no medium or heavy?
Yes. But flames have big debuffs so it's not as effective
Wow that changed everything. I cant even drink my tea as before!!!
When I see a Feedback video, I have a little more faith in humanity.
You should've named the flame company tank as "Flamin' hot Tito".
Idk how you don’t have more likes. That was awesome😂
Rip my favorite light tank meta becomeing mainstream
Feedback what was the combat width of your endgame units of this vid
18 or 19
Last time when I done it, Hungary and Turkey both joined the Comintern 😥
Happens
Man I love watching your videos please make more 😩😩😩😩
how did you not know about the yugoslav updates?
You know your yugoslav history
So like I just started playing HOI4, and I’m only 6 minutes into the video. But isn’t adding armored recon to everything the most obvious move ever, how is this news? It’s the first thing I do in any play through, make sure my infantry has tanks in the 30s when almost everyone has no actual tanks.
🍪
15:51 oh no our Hungary it's broken
Yet another masterclass in exploitation! Great video Feedback you never disappoint
Dave, my game keeps crashing as soon as I unpause. Is there some way to playing?
Feedback revolutinized the meta like how the industrial revolution revolutionized the world
how do you see equipment in the field menu? how do you get to it ?
Flamer support Infantry division needs a proper name, and i have it:
Thunder Warriors.
My meta: 9inf, 2arty,1AA, tank suport, arty suport, AA suport, logistics suport, Rocket arty or recon= GG
Can u make a video about how reunite yugoslavia in real life pls ?
You made Yugoslavia OPslavia
4:24 prototype
How long before Paradox adds horses to the trade resources? Would that nerf every technique or strategy that uses cavalry units to spam or move quickly?
I'm surprised they didn't add them in No Step Back, tbh, considering horses is one of the options for supply lines
One thing with tanks that seem to be very meta - garrisons. Take basic light tank and add heavy machine gun for a total of 1xp. You will get an extremely cheap tank with terrible stats, but that doesnt matter. Create a division with a few of them and put it on garrison duty. It has the same suppresion as armoured cars, but its few times cheaper and more armoured, and its better in every way than infantry or cavalery for this. Just one factory as soon as possible should stockiple enough of them
I barely started the video, maybe you talk about it later anyway
hey feedbackgaming do you have any tips as to how to play france. and complete the unite europienu union? and also i love you videos.
he used my exact picture for the commenter in the begining. No shot
you just reinvented infantry tank concept)
Does anybody else want to see feedback attempt the Siberian tiger achievement
What DLC do you need for the Tito game?
amazing video. I need to try communist paths more
Reject meta
Return to space marines
I play with you dave, so I'll play Yugoslavia with your strategy after played commie China too recently, that template spicy want to try it.
Ok, but I just wanted to ask, why didn't you go for good fighters, there are lots of good buffs for fighter research. You could've done that instead of AA
aa's easier to produce and easier to manage
so ive unknowlingly been playing meta this entire time.. bruh
Would this division template work if you’re playing as Japan?
i'm Yugoslavia fan
already doing the mix between men and tanks even before watching this video
Glory to Yugoslavia!
Lol almost at the end when feedback started the communist uprising in hungary the capital of it changed to Cluj-Napoca and remained that one 😂
As a Bosnian who survived 3 years in the balkan war, this is hilarious! xD
hey feedbackgaming what are your favourite minor nations to play as
think you forgot the N
?
@@Emel_unlegit you dont get ti
Jjosip Broz, dobar skroz
Oh god ,It is finally you🙆♂️♥️
Has anyone ever told you, you sound like Ringo Starr.
Hey. Love the videos. Trying out the template here. However I can't seem to add the flame tank as support and (maybe because of this) my armour is only 5.5. My main light tank is 30(ish). What am I doing wrong? (anyone).
*Edit*. Just saw that I need to make them both support. However, I've done that any my armour is still only around 5.
Been patched. New meta is heavy flamer
