Absolutely need this to be a full world conquest, I know its unethical to even ask it but please!
Dankus did it
Dankus went the full way in his video. Definitely a tad better of a vid than this, he played the version before the difficulty system though
Yeah agree with op
Dankus is the best player so it's not surprising haha
I would like a continuation anyways
I would love to see this campaign continued.

Something I've noticed in these kinds of runs. Doing Rhineland, then going into Army Innovations, using one research slot to rush the basic medium tank, lets you get a really good tank, (the Panzer IV) that works well into 1941. The reason you rush it is because that way, you can get a couple tanks, and the production cap's been reached, so you'll just start pumping out tanks divisions.
Also, in my experience, having 7/8 lights tanks with high speed can work very well. Assuming you have the Truck production, (meaning 5-7 mils) you'd be able to double the amount of tanks you can field, while still having 3/4ths of the soft attack, and the ability to basically teleport around your opponent.

I was there for the Bitt3rSteel rage at this mod 😁
Glad you were able to figure it out. Such a fun and difficult challenge!
Eㅤㅤ
have you tried this one?
@@kickassgreek not yet, no
Definitely looks like a good challenge though!
I love how bittersteel always turns into the respective historical leader with his commentary. Hitler building Battleships? "I know its mathematically inferior but I like it"
It's quite amusing that in this scenario the chaotic early war starts because of Adolf's bad handling of alcohol, especially considering that in real life he was apparently a teetotaler :D this was a fun one, keep up with the great HOI4 content!
And THIS is why he did not drink.
Strange that they chose alcohol when Hitler was constantly on drugs
@@joelkilchoer4238his doctor gave him "medicine" for different kinds of reasons. Hitler did not entirely " choose" to take drugs, but he became addicted.
@@joelkilchoer4238 to be fair, something like Meth wasn't considered a drug at the time, so while he may have been using drugs by modern standards, he wasn't by 30s and 40s standards
Happy new year!
Ok
A bit late but ok
Happy new year to you too random stranger❤️
You to buddy! 🎉🎉🎉
@@mazen_tarek8535 thanks
I love how he even re-enacted the Battle of Kursk in the exact place it unfolded in real life
Regarding your tank template at 9:29, I think motor recon can be removed, as testing shows it's more effective during defence rather than attack. Also I personally prefer slightly higher org, so I'd replace few tanks with motor. This allows me to do dangerous encirclements where I need the tank divs to fight 3-4 tiles, back to back.
to be fair, the recon support companies don't just give recon, they give some pretty good movement bonuses which would make bigger/longer encirclements easier
Maybe you can explain something for me then: Why the 42 width? I know they change it but I never managed to wrap my head around that
@@tami8110 math was done, 42 is the new 40, odd numbers are more liked more for terrain differences
@@tami8110 as based on testing 42 and 44 suffer the least terrain penalties for overstacking.
As for why so big as 42. Bigger division have a lot of advantages over having smaller, but more number of divisions. Ex: no dependency on reinforce rate, higher HP, lower xp loss, lower supp equip loss, etc.
@@Kryssalids that is true, did not think of that
Tank template is good width and I like the 8 motorized inf as a minimum, but add 2 motorized AA to help with the CAS(especially with no air build) and transition to mech from motorized once your mediums are rolling out nicely off the production lines.
Thanks for the tips!

8 people: wow such a useful comment!
Edit:why did I exactly make this comment?
I love that ending casualty exchange, also I'm pretty sure that when you were cleaning up an encirclement in Belgium near the start I saw the enemy divisions as 187 in battle and 59 in reserve which is absolutely insane especially since they all died
Honestly this isn't done until we see a peace conference. Cause you've yet to win. And saying "It's 1942 and I'm tried". I can say it's only 1942. You have like 3 more years to play. Keep playing my dude. Go for the win.
Great video. Very lucky vichy didn't join the enemy early on.
True!
Did you know you can actually see how much people you killed in a encirclement. In the upper right corner there is theater tab and there is a paper there. If you click on that you can see A LOT of information regarding your battles
I love that thing. The largest non-encirlcement battle I've had was 500000 of my troops dead and 672000 of their troops dead. On one tile
@@pivotboy2062 so ur front was a replica of ww1
@@pivotboy2062 Stalingrad, Light Edition
37:26 You mean that?
@@derkurier2710 exactly. İ made the comment before finishing the video lol
I remeber when I did this on brutal before NSB launched after watching Dankus' run. Took me a few attempts to survive but once you get rolling, there's no stopping the geman war machine. Love to see, that it still works, was worried with all the changes to supply and air power, that it might be impossible. Perhaps going to give it another try
I would absolutely love if you actually continued this at least until you knock out all the major world powers
Unfortunately do not think this is possible anymore, too much manpower loss so guaranteed loss in places like china/jap
Now you need to fight the whole world as Tannu tuva
The way you continue is now that you've taken out the Soviet Union, find a part of the Eastern Front to hold and let the AI batter itself against a prepared line or waste time taking Siberia as you focus on Spain, firmly securing Continental Europe. Then go for taking out GB, which will remove the base for most AI invasions. That will allow you to again shift focus, pushing South into the Levant, setting up a defensive lin in Iran while you push down into Africa, taking out the Suez and securing the Mediterranean.
I’d say Scandinavia before Spain.
Its always nice ending the day with a Bitt3rsteel video!
You can beat hard mode if you have either massive airplane or artillery , also encircle the bad supplies area that has large army
Also, get bunch of fortications at the port and get some anti aircraft at the backline so paratroopers will get clap
UR MIC is making a high pitched sound that makes it impossible for me to listen (ear sensitivity)
for future reference you can remove it through audacity using a high pass filter under the frequency (to lower volume of sounds above selected frequency)
the frequency is probably 7000+ hz, so to identify the exact frequency of the sound you can use a spectral analysis (go to Analyze -> Plot Spectrum while a part of the audio in which the sound is audible is selected) and look for a peak in higher frequencies, which your voice and sound effects would never reach
alternatively there are more precise methods if you're a perfectionist, you can find tutorials on youtube
good video nonetheless! keep it up
27:22 In singleplayer, some hoi4 tubers say meta is "spacemarines". Tank division has breakthrough like as spacemarines but they have speed also. But I think you should consider using them, because instead of constraring tanks to single divisions, you can send them to inf. divisions to make lots of more spacemarine divisions and they're cheaper. Efficiency-performance division. I am not sure, it has to be calculated however. By the way, it's fun to think about that France's tactic od dividing tanks all over divisions may work while playing hoi4.
It wont work, the tank is used for speed and breakthrough to get to vp asap while the enemy still bogged down in the frontline. spacemarines while having some breakthrough from the tank, they still as slow as an infantry which is not good for "snaking" to vp. and spacemarines took a big hit on industry too considering the 90% of the army is infantry so many tank is needed. so the best use of tank in this situation is like this in the video, this tactic were used for many disaster save vid too by alex the rambler and isp for encircling and destroying enemy div.
@@cpt.john_price Agree, I was wrong. But may I ask something, if I am not bothering you? Which situations where spacemarines will be useful? Or they are completely useless?
The point of space marines is that you can fill entire armies with them, they arent supposed to be better than tanks
@@cc0767 Agree.
@@tutku1560 The only spacemarine template that will work really good is basically anything with flame tank, i didn't know have paradox nerf it or not but cheap light flame tank with max armor is rly op, you got infantry org, tank armor and light flame tank terrain buff. I forgot to mention the point of spacemarine isn't for breakthrough but the armor cause on the old version if you can't penetrate a division armor, you will get 20%(or smth i forgot) attack debuff, so stacking infantry and cheap tank with high armor is the meta
I've always wondered if you know that you can click on the skull icon in the casualties list to sort them by who has lost the most men. You usually seem to be searching the entire list.
Do you have a playlist of all the music you play in your videos? I checked the description to no avail. Some of these songs are so good!
This one is going to be wild!
Continue this campaign, it's satisfying seeing all those 100 divisions encirclements
Me and a friend did this a year or so back but added some mods in the mix to make things interesting like improving ai intelligence and started it in 1939. Was a really tough but fun campaign where we caused a massacre in Scandinavia. The allies lost a good 30 million men up there through encirclements. Truly a cursed game
I REAAAAALY wanna see a WC from this campaign!
AA that is important. Aurim did a run on the hardest difficulty. Mostly waited for enemy air to get reduced to ash in the beginning.
Damn, this video was so soothing that I actually fell asleep. Thank you and a happy new year 👍🏻
Would love to see this continue! Even if it's not a full WC, taking out Scandinavia, reaching Gibraltar and Suez (so you control the Med) and maybe invading Britain (and maybe Ireland as well) would be a decent way to end the campaign
when youre working with limited time/eco i would very much suggest doing 30 width light tank spa divs
especially against ai
the spa has enough soft attack to basically hold/attack into most stuff and about 3 divs of that as france for instance is enough to hold against germany with the rest of your army being 10 widths or 18 widths (basic inf)
1:15 , this halo reach reference so delicious
Bitter I need a full world conquest, love your content and when you rage haha
Keep on doing this man we love it
Hey Bitter. For I dont know how long has this been going on, but I've had this problem that other people might have is that I hear this static high pitched sound in your videos that is very recognizeable if the volume is turned up by a bit and could it be your microphone or some kind of bug in the editing progress.
I heard it too
Just doing a Ragnarok campaign myself. Very slow on my PC though. And still fun as hell somehow
would love a monthly episode where this save is being tackled and slowly completed in terms of taking over the world...
This is cool, I like watching your videos because I have the game, but my computer is not powerful enough to handle Hoi4 😋 I started by watching instructions on how to play and now I’m watching disaster and fun videos of yours. I hope you have a wonderful day and I want you to know these videos are awesome!!!
Amazing! Love the videos Continue!
bro that kanye picture 💀
Hey super video I have no idea how you did this well, at 39:48 I don't know if you realized that you did the same things than the battle of kurske at the same place.. (btw I love this new type of video continue like this.)
I was looking for this comment
If you are looking for another good challenge, I would love to see you do the "World Ablaze" mod.
When looking for casualties, division count and factory count, you can click the buttons above to sort by them. This is very obvious, but also something people do not do.
Every time he switched to the air map it made me chuckle slightly
Please continue this further! :)
One thing you can also do to help with manpower is to request garrison support from your puppets.
Never had this much fun as when i played ragnarok mod. Encircling 320 alied divisions is the way of life i enjoy.
How much harder is it than Endsieg? Haven't played either but Ragnarok looks interesting so far
Because Endsieg is still in battle for the bosphorus and supply is bullshit
*Clock hits 1940*
*USA* "Oh, would you look at the time, it's D Day o'clock!"
Blessed run. Happy new year.
You don't NEED armour in singleplayer, but you also don't NEED frontline orders either.
Great video man
Appreciate it
Since you have done a Poland and Germany game recently, have you thought about doing a Kashubia run, a releasable from both those countries?
bitter. i love your videos.
would you mind showing of the division templates you ended up with at the end of the video sometimes?
Please continue it. :)
Happy new year. I am here to ask for you to make the flying snakes achievment with Brazil please. I BEG YOU
Loved the video!!
4:30 once you become a major or get a certain number of factories, i've noticed that decision disappears. not sure why
I just played this mod a week ago for the first time! It was the most fun ive ever had in Hoi4!
i just recognized ive been watching bitter steel for over three years and that entire time thought i was subscribed but i wasn't just wow.
Big oof
38:40 Kanye fucking killed me
33:53 how did you make that formable nation I’m considering this mod and would like to know
What a video, keep it up 👍
It's fun with the new 100 % cap of the swiss, you need to conquer literly everything
You gotta finish this. No giving up until the whole world capitulates
You should try this challenge:
1. Play as France
2. Get cores on Algeria
3. Release Algeria while retaining core states, and also play as Algeria
The kanye edit was insane 😂

Bitt3rSteel:" New Year- New Me." ... Me: "Okay he deserves a like." xD
I would love to see you continue your own disaster save here to completion.
Wouldn't it have been viable to put support troops into your divisions to get enemy material? With all those encirclements...
The upfront cost for that much support equipment is massive
@@Bitt3rSteel As much as the mil you'd save not having to produce the other stuff?
@@Gustav_Kuriga short term, my divisions would be understrength, leading to me losing more battles, and making my lines harder to hold. By the time the maintenance company would be productive, I'd either already be losing hard or I'd be winning and I'd need the production elsewhere
Please continue this
I would love a part 2
I want to see this continued.
Bro ima get that, best ad ive ever seen
Maintainence companies would be my first choice for a campaign like this, at least to have the chance to have divisions with guns from every country on earth lmao
That moment when trying to prevent world conquest causes world conquest
Bringing a new meaning to Blitzkreig.
Would love to see it to the end
Regno del Sud? I think you mean Neue Ostrogoth Reich. **Evil laughter**
I love your videos! :D
I would add maintenance companies to infantry after all these juicy pockets lol
I did 36 and it was my favorite campaign, so fun
How... How is the ringing back. It was gone for a good while too.
Allies: So Germany is completely encircled. Surely þey will surrender or at least be defensive.
Guderian wiþ 9 tank divisions: kauwabanga
Me:Losing against Poland as Germany
Bitt3rSteel:Destroying Europe as Germany
I love you bittersteel you are my favorite UA-camr ❤
hey Bitt3rSteel i noticed that your recent videos have this electical sound from your microphone i guess. Please fix that it makes your videos un watchable on higher volume levels
Should've sent your tanks straight for the Denmark straight and block the allies ability to enter the baltic sea
I contemplated it, bit it was vital i crush the Czech before Soviet troops could flood in and prevent the cut off
Does anyone know if there is a Endsieg mod compatible with recent game updates, I loved that mod but now it's unusable.
I found the best Strat for the one year build at least when I did it before no step back was to go full offense, grab self propelled light tank artillery , 20 withs just rush down Western Europe asap like every hour counts, but you gotta kill France, benilux, Spain Portugal and lastly Italy Czechoslovakia, UK with a quick sea lion then pushing into Russia and Poland was easy when all the west is secure.
That Strat would not work as well now though maybe with the new logistics system now id have to give it another try myself
You can here him busting to those encirclements lmao
You are an absolute Madlad. Really enjoyed being part of the journey. Congratulations!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Bitt3rSteel getting sick of fixing disaster saves decides to do his own
