@@hammotimee To be fair the US economy should be OP they were providing weapons to half the world while rebuilding their own army. They just need to figure a way to make the US economy dependent on Lend Lease. Like for example, you get eco buffs for equipment you send out but nerfs up until 1940 for stockpiling.
They should make something to manage antiwar protests and stuff. Like depending on the situation of the antiwar situation you are like kicked out of the war or get debuffs and stuff
I'm still under 100 hours in the game so I'm not looking to start any DLCs yet but it's amazing to know that I've already 'got' 3 of them. I can't wait to be good enough at this to start playing with DLC, and eventually The Fire Rises.
Hi there fellow Aussie. I just bought the base game when it went on sale a couple of days ago on steam. I looked at the DLC which was also on sale and went for the DLC subscription.. It was only about 20 bucks AUD for three months. Great deal to try them all out. I have been watching a lot of your videos trying to learn the game as I like similar games (I have about 1200 hours in Stalaris as an example). I am a smart man. I work in operations and logistics where it is important to plan the shit out of everything and then be flexible enough to change stuff when needed... This game however, has me baffled so far. I am determined to become better at it though.. I likely wont ever be great or even good at HoI, but I will be happy with ok. I am a long way from ok haha. Thanks for all the tips so far.
The DLC subscription is a great way to try it out! Hahhaha hoi4 is probably the hardest PDX game I think, even though I think I feel this way about Stellaris 😄 Happy to help! I'm updating my beginner guides currently to make them more relevant to the current game, keep an eye out for those!
@@hammotimee I will look forward to your updated guides.. Meanwhile, you or someone said the best way to learn combat is to start as Italy and just play out their Africa war over and over again.. So I am doing that while also watching the cricket... I still suck, but hopefully will work it out. Thank you good sir.
There is 0 way by blood alone is an A tier DLC man. The trees are mid af and the plane designer isn't particularly interesting enough to warrant its price. La Resistance or Gottendamerung are both better dlcs for content and replayability. Hell even Battle for the Bosporus is better just so you can play Bulgaria
@@dankaphobia2346 LMAO who plays Bulgaria 😂😂 the trees are good, they have so much depth and variety, the designers are cool, without them in the game people would really miss them
should be C ngl, the focus trees kinda suck (except portugal, their tree is just kind of ok) the armored cars are generally useless, and the spy system is neat but pretty much only used for collaboration governments
😆🏍🔷 Let me know what you think below! While you're at it, why not subscribe? 😉
I've subscribed.
[in Aussie accent] - ''Ya cheeky little bugger''
The Japan and US expansion when it is releases will be God Tier.
Can't wait for the US to be even more OP

Hopefully the US election mechanic is made to include each state so we can click away more PP for rng results!

@@27hund1 Yep absolutely agree with that! It'll be a good way to learn all the different things about combat!
More of this please!! Live getting your opinion on what to buy next!
Glad to hear! 😄😄
Great vid
Only issue is your lack of difference between a and an before a vowel. That is a me issue to quote you.
Thank you! 🙏
Hahaha that's just my accent mate 😂
Mod Tier List when ????, love the channel btw
I gotta play more mods to do that lmao
Thank you! 😄
@@hammotimee keep up the vids , love the channel
@@hammotimee looking foward to it :)
I feel like by blood alone is a bit overrated only real good tree is Italy tbh the plane designer is good tho
Have you tried Ethipoia and Switzerland much? They're pretty fun
@hammotimee I have but I feel Ethiopia drops off after the Italy War and I feel like balance of power is to prevalent in Switzerlands tree
The problem I'm noticing is Germany on historical now will conquer USSR in no time and there's no way to nerf it with command line cheat
You can buff the soviets in the custom game rules? 😄
Brave of you to put 2025 in the title with more releases confirmed
Also who else is watching despite having all dlcs ❤
Hehe it's pretty much 2025 hey
Me!
navy guide fr
I've got three of those bad boys 😎
Is it just me or I cant find some dlcs you are talking about on the steam store?
Yeah so the first three are included in the base game now! But I wanted to rate them anyway 😄
Your voice and sound quality are good. Arms against tyranny and the South America ones are D tier though. Absolutely dreadful
Thanks for that! Why do you think that about AAT and TOA?
Plz do a Japan guide / German guide
I had a Germany guide for the old Germany, will need to update that for sure!

la resistance in B is criminal
Should be higher you reckon? 👀

aint no way u called portugal’s focus mid, and what about spain, theres 6 interesting paths
@@alexwoogie462 the spies can and should be used for way more than collabs, Portugal's tree is fun but doesn't compare with recent DLCs
