Breakthrough is Defence while attacking. It dictates your division DAMAGE intake. If enemy has more piercing than your armor than you will take damage in percent steps. If your breakthrough is very high lets say 1 and a half than enemy soft/hard attack then you will spend half of the credits for nothing. You only need 10% more than enemy attack and you will take no damage. Learn the stats of the game before you mislead people on wild goose chase...
@@cfgtud4146 what you just said, makes no sense what so ever to a new player. Learn how to teach people before you go running your mouth in the comments 😁
@@hammotimee wow, i don't have to learn anything, i just heard in your video multiple times this mistake. Breakthrough=Defense when attacking. I did not create this game, Paradox did and you should ask them why they used this "breakthrough" term to confuse people.
@@hammotimee No problemo! I got you fixed, here is the link from the professor with explanations and numbers. As a student i am not stupid and need to be lied and feed bullshit, i need proper info strait and true for efficiency if you catch my drift 🤔. ua-cam.com/video/fbBjywJmcEM/v-deo.html
I’m really dense and have never really understood other people’s tutorials but my whole hoi4 tutorial playlist is filled with your videos because you explain everything really well and are straight to the point, thank you!
I use medium Tanks with medium howitzers - but in the Tank Roll, not the spg Roll. Thus, having the best possible soft Attack to Combat width Ratio, since you want to maximize soft Attack far above the enemies defense. Just don't Fight enemy Tanks, rather encircle them. You don't need that much breakthrough anyway, you only need more than the enemy has Attack. I use one Bataillon of heavy Tank destroyers to increase Piercing and Armor and one Support anti Air is sufficient to reduce enemy cas damage. Voilà
I’m new to hoi4. Got it during a sale and sat on it because I knew it was real complicated. Your channels been a huge help to navigate the game, thanks you.
it would be cool if you could make a bridge tank that give's you a buff on rough terrain just make the bridge part go in the gun slot and use fixed superstructure on like a medium
16:00, you have 170 piercing and like 150 without the squeeze bore, you don’t need it, also riveted is better because tds always pierce other tds and ai tanks don’t, you should rather get more armor ticks to have some form of breakthrough and armor, instead I would say easy maintenance instead of that squeeze bore and a small cannon instead of the sloped armor
Navy designer = Man the Guns Tank designer = No Step Back Plane designer = By Blood Alone Hope this helps! They're super worth it, probably the three DLCs which change up the game and add a new level of replayability for you! 😁
What about the combat width? I recognised, after playing for a long time again, that the 20/40 width is not recommended as before. Is there a rule now?
Hard attack. How many attacks made each hour against the hard parts of an enemy division Piercing. Represents the ability of a division to pierce armor and pin down armored forces, restricting the movement. If the value is higher than the enemy's armor value, then the division suffers no penalty to its damage and suffers no additional organization damage
There is not a meta tank. What is the objective? Attack? Focus on breaking through. Speed. Defense? Then defense , armor . Or even for remake ! Take the old models. And make something with it. Exemple. Germany has a lot of ww1 old tanks. They can be cheaply transformed into aa or flame tank.
What about any of my channel suggests I play by the meta? My channel is aimed at helping new players get into the game, by teaching them how things work, not through gatekeeping comments like this

So basically just the irl 105mm Sherman

Thanks so much! Comments like this make my day 😊
Really simple and helpful guide. seems so hard to find guides that are good but short, so this video is really helpful. Thanks!
Glad it helped! Thanks for the kind words 😁
it would be cool if you could make a bridge tank that give's you a buff on rough terrain just make the bridge part go in the gun slot and use fixed superstructure on like a medium
Oooh yeah, it would give a bonus across rivers! Engineers and flame tanks do give a bonus already but that would be cool too 😄

Face footage needs to be higher def if full screen.
@@gavinlottering trust me, no one wants to see my face in higher resolution 😂
What a clear and helpful guide! Thanks man
Thanks so much! I'm glad it helped 😊
How do i add a nuclear bomb?
Can you enjoy the game without going into all the math?
Absolutely you can! I do it all the time
Where do I get these designer everyone uses them like they are in vanilla
Navy designer = Man the Guns
Tank designer = No Step Back
Plane designer = By Blood Alone
Hope this helps! They're super worth it, probably the three DLCs which change up the game and add a new level of replayability for you! 😁
11:54 yeah all fun until you realise that you play with a small nation against a major one like Germany XD
uhhh when i try to edit my tank chasis i just see this upgrade tank in my screen not the edit one?
Do you have the No Step Back DLC purchased and active? If not it won't show, it's part of the DLC 😁
@@hammotimee oh damn I don't have it but thanks I will save money to buy it
any recommendations for heavy tanks?
At the moment, they're not really worth it, if you're going to use them, max out the armour :)
heavy tanks are very good the heavy cannon 2 is much better than the early medium cannons
What about the combat width? I recognised, after playing for a long time again, that the 20/40 width is not recommended as before.
Is there a rule now?
It's pretty forgiving to be honest! Around 20ish is pretty good, depends how meta you want to be :)
@@hammotimee thank you ;)
for me it only gives me the blueprint for the tank the chassis so if someone could help that would be great
On the tank chassis, you need to click the design button to create a design! Check out early in the video again :)

你試著簡單的講述全部應該注意的點，但是這樣我根本不知道哪有有比較重要的
They're all important 😀
@@hammotimee 像一個上課的老師
hey i cant seem to get rid of "module required: Main armourment" can you please explain what to do?
nvm i got it
Classic stitch up
is the dlc free
No they're not, but they're currently on sale on steam!
Whats the difference between hard attack and piercing?
Hard attack. How many attacks made each hour against the hard parts of an enemy division
Piercing. Represents the ability of a division to pierce armor and pin down armored forces, restricting the movement. If the value is higher than the enemy's armor value, then the division suffers no penalty to its damage and suffers no additional organization damage
@@hammotimee tysm
Can you show me beginner template for tanks?
Check this video out!

Not to start, but the game is defs better with them!
do you need a dlc for this
Yep, no step back!
What mod is this?
It's the No Step Back DLC!
@@hammotimee ok thank you
How to i enter it tho
The save button in the bottom right :)
Can you show me cheap Tanks?

@@Itadori768 gotta research the first level of armour tech!
Those are mods?
No mods! Just the no step back DLC!
@@hammotimee OK thx
There is not a meta tank. What is the objective?
Attack? Focus on breaking through. Speed.
Defense? Then defense , armor .
Or even for remake !
Take the old models. And make something with it.
Exemple. Germany has a lot of ww1 old tanks. They can be cheaply transformed into aa or flame tank.
