Hoi4 Impossible Armored Cars Challenge? The WORST IN THE GAME 

The irony is recon doesn't rubber for it's tires, but a float plane needs rubber

Pretty sure the best nation to do this with is Italy. Cos I'm 95% sure they have a production bonus to armored cars via focus tree.

I used armoured cars in the RoN mod in the 1900 start date, and honestly had a similar experience. At first it goes kinda well because they act like light tanks but as soon as the enemy can peirce you you get screwed.

Challenge: mechanized only The only infantry you can use is mechanized infantry and amphtracks because they are basically mechanized marines. You can use artillery tanks and other stuff like that bonus challenge: do it as France.

Ahhh yes, the Armored car, introduced in LR for anti-partisan duties, but ultimatly outclassed by WW1 machinegun-lawnmowers after NSB introduced the tank designer.

The best "Armored Car" you can do is just take a Light Tank and slap wheels on it instead of tracks.

if you did treaty with the soviets you could've gotten 2x 100% research bonus for armor, which curiously counts armored cars too and get those Pumas earlier. also you can increase it's stats with "create variant" just like you would with mechanized but at a cost to production.

Heres a fun challenge: Do the "Not One Step Back" Achievement, but start in the 1939 scenario. I've tried it and its quite hard, but not impossible.

Send this as a disaster save to Bittersteel and see what he can do with it!

My truck needs more ARMOR!!!

Fighting with these probably looks like that Dodge Challenger advert where they chase away the British in the cars

The French spy: “Yeah for some fucking reason the Germans have just built a bunch of cars”

Maybe the true armored cars were the friends we made along the way

Obscure note on the lack of rubber for the armoured cars. Before synthetic rubber production took off, countries with a lack of ready access to natural rubber experimented with all sorts of different wheels and tyres. Because it was blockaded, Germany already experimented with steel tyres in World War I.

I mean you can just upgrade the armored cars in the edit template thingy. They can become quite strong actually, but it’s costly…

JaythePotato actually did a challenge for the Armored Cars. And it went as well as you thought it would.

The AC can be used for garrisons if you care more about saving manpower than industrial efficiency.

My challenge to you is you can only use the weapons you get at the start of the game. No weapon research allowed 😂

maybe try again but you can use support-units and/or when you create a Division, the last slot of a line can be what ever you want, so you can boost your armored cars wit other units at a heavy cost

Navy only no air or army; objective SURVIVE

Idea: hoi4 but all focuses are chosen by an AI

Some butterfly flapped its wings one extra time and created this incredibly cursed timeline. At least it saved Poland from Mr. Mustache. I wonder if the Soviet Union uses only snow shovels in this timeline?

So the more realistic option is to do Light SP Artillery only, and you have to use wheeled suspension. At that point it's basically an armored car that doesn't suck as bad.

Damn the fact that 2 armored car divisions cant even break a cav division. Its freaking horses man how are they worse then a car. They really need balance the cars more cause they really aren't even worth touching at all unless its modded to hell

It might not be as much of a challenge. However, I think this would be more doable where the challenge is only using cars in general. So motorized, infantry and towed and motorized artillery are allowed

Episode 2 of asking Stak to play austria and reforming the holy roman empire in r56

imo with NSB they should have folded armoured cars into the light tanks, with the stats that go well, and with the caveat for them that they need to use the wheel or half track suspension, so that at least you would be able to make something decent to use as a line btn of your divisions, and as an incentive to design those, well, give the supression bonus for the role and maybe make it so a line AC btn gives recon bonus at the cost of hardness (or something) also with armoured cars you can create variants where you increase (some of) their stats, tho you can only touch armour, gun, engine and reliability, at the cost of a lot of army XP (400 total to max an AC tech level) and production cost (IC go brrrrr)

Painful to watch 😂 but still entertaining ❤ Thanks for your hard work

10:17 Billions must play armored car only

Ok now try pre war equipment only, including air force and navy

Bro could have Armor Car Recon 💀

Challange idea: As Germany abide by the Treaty of Versailles. Army Restrictions 100k men in the field MAX (Bonus Points if its 7 infantry 3 Calvary), no airforce, no armored cars/tanks, Disarmed Nation Conscription Navy Limits: 6 battleships/battlecruisers/Heavy Cruiser, 6 Light cruisers, 24 Destroyers industrial Restrictions: No Lend Leasing to nations (Except to France, UK, USA), Free Trade, Civilian Economy (you may temporarily Ignore the treaty if you civil war to become Democratic until the civil war ends)

Armor cars challenge entails Trucks, Armored Cars, Armored Trains, Light armored planes, Light armored Navy ships, And only 15 infantry Divisions. Thats all u can use in this kind of challenge.

1:07 I guess that sets the tone for the episode

I’d be more curious about seeing a special forces video of using Marines, mountain infantry , and paratroopers

My guy didn't realize he was 1940 barbing the whole time XD

As of today I only have about four more of your videos to watch. I find your gameplay to be both enlightening and amusing af. Watched the 84' Red Dawn yesterday and was wondering if you could possibly pull off the invasion of the USA while keeping it as close to the movie as possible? So challenge: As either Cuba, Nicaragua or Russia join a faction with the other two and lead an invasion into the USA while simultaneously fighting the Chinese

Super heavy tanks and armored train only next👀

A challenge: as any nation other than Germany or the US, kill one billion enemy combatants.

he forgot to put on victory or death and to modify the cars

Step on the gas gas gas Wait no germany not what I ment

Play as UK, no land units allowed in France, prevent France from capitulating.

Do it again, mass armoured cars, but if you get the Puma then you have a chance. Also get nukes.

Armored Cars - are Mech-Infantry....so next time Infantrytechtree????

Maybe allow trucks and supplies in the divisions so you can have some support for the division?

Why no support companies? Support artillery could change everything for you

im sure making a proper division with mech and armored cars would prob be a good cheap alternative to tanks and might actually work

Why Armored Cars suck in a noobs perspective: -For Garrison, one single division of cavalry is better at doing that -For speed, mechanized or motorised do the job better for less -For armor, literally anything is better, there is no reason to grab this over a light tank -For support, Light tank is better at giving armor -For cost efficiency, you are better using light tanks or just Infantry and artillery

Demented hell we can create inside of the comment section? Sure thing! Artillery only.

I notice you didn't add points to your cars. I don't know if it would have made a difference, but you should be able to beef up their stats the way armor and air used to work before the designer was added. Challenge idea for you: -New World Order Run as any European country, United States, Canada, South Africa, Australia, or New Zealand. -No matter what, you're not allowed to declare war on any of the countries listed above, with the exception of communist countries, but you can declare war on any other country except fascists regardless of who the target is aligned with. -You may not join another country's faction, but you may start one of your own. -Any country you conquer that isn't or cannot become your core territory must be puppeted and allowed to earn back its freedom, or in the case of an ongoing war, must be allowed to form a collaboration government. You may choose not to call puppets or allies into a war, however. -If you choose Hitler's Germany or Mussolini's Italy, you must keep historical mode on. However, you may go non-historical for any country that doesn't start fascist or if you choose to depose Benny to install either of the other fascist leaders. -Bonus round, requires access to the console. Do you think you could pull off the challenge by starting off as Germany, choosing to oppose Hitler, and then taking command of the Reich after Himmler stages a coup? This would be an absolutely cursed run, but talking about deposing Mussolini got me thinking about that. BTW, I'm not choosing arbitrary rules to trip you up. This is how I always play. Admittedly, I am a terrible player and have yet to complete the challenge before I cock everything up and turn it into an unmitigated disaster.

Armored cars give the highest amount of recon making them extremely powerful in defence

Plays Germany for strength - locks himself out of the strongest part of the tree - ouch; But wait, he doesn't give up after that! Respect 🙂

You can bypass ansluss by increasing world tension (through justifying), and then invite Austria into your faction. When you're in the same faction with Austria the Ansluss referendum will soon fire.

As I understand Armored Cars should be used in divisions like tanks, they decrease org as well, give armor and breakthrough but are way cheaper, kinda faster and use way less supplies. They can be useful in Africa and china.

Ah yes, The Mustache Man and his Armoured Mercedes Vehicles 😂

Lore of Hoi4 Impossible Armored Cars Challenge? The WORST IN THE GAME momentum 100

Challenge: Play the game but you cannot play until 1940: no research, production, focus. Only thing allowed is response to certain events

Could you do a updated video on how to play HOI4 for beginners

The armored cars couldn’t beat a dead horse

If the Wehrmacht was Sponsored by BMW

You could’ve used Armoured Car Recon, and just had infantry equipment being made for the Anschluss.

I've used armored cars a couple of times and noticed no difference to light tanks

Well, you managed to increase Organization through the focus tree by more then 100%. That's good, 20 Org is bad, but it's not "German looses against Poland" bad. The real problem was that HP were still virtually nonexistant, no buffs there are the cars took so much damage. But yeah, Armored cars are the most useless.

Shoulda used light wheeled tanks, because c'mon - it's basically the same.

It's really funny that armoured car 1 is better than 2 or 3 because its cheaper and the stats dont matter

Armoured car recon was necessary.

bro forgot to upgrade his armored cars

Episode 30 of asking Stakuyi to play Equestria at War as Equestria with “Twilight Theory” turned on in custom game rules. PLAY THE (not) STUPID PONY MOD!

You could have the best units in the world and the AI will find a way to have 200 defense and you only have 5 attack

Here's an Idea, an all wheeled army, meaning no foot soldiers unless they are mechanized & no tanks except Light Tanks since they can have the Wheeled options for their "tracks".

What about a video focused on strategic bombing? Not just air only playthru, but which focuses on first destroying the enemy's country and then just swarming them with fast units. The units only need to be able to hold, given that with destroyed supply lines the enemy would be a pushover.

Germany attempted a Mad Max.

As America you can only fight in Europe and Asia is with planes and boats. The infantry that is in the islands can stay but no producing anything other than plane and boat.

I wish PDX reworked those less used equipments into something actual usable. Stuff like rockets, recon planes, anything of reccon, signal company, strat/tat bombers and others. Most of these equipments are either worst than useless or you research them in like 1945 when the game is basically over. I played hoi4 for 1000 hours and I never used signal companies, reccon or amphibious tanks just because they are simply not worth it. In multiplayer they may be significant but in singleplayer, its just waste of IC.

Stak posts a video in base hoi4 I smile. Stak turns off historical I smile wider

Hmmm. Boats only Norway? Stop the Germans from ever landing on shore in the first place?

Episode 2 of asking stakuyi to play as germany in kaisserredux

I want to see a support company only italy. Given they get a unique one which gives a bunch of hp you could have an insane amount of strength per combat width.

Next challenge should be bike units only

France have a bonus to Armored cars to

Shovels only

Next challenge should be Amph tanks only, no motorized in the division

I forgot how terrible these were in Vanilla. Because in Equestria at War they are buffed to be somewhat useable and I only play that mod because it's so good.

Challenge idea: nabal heavy Turkey with a goal to kill UK, Jap and finally USA fleet

Now all we need is AA only

would armored cars still be as bad if you could use them like space marines or add motorized infantry to the template? Tanks are really good but if you built a tank only division it would be pretty bad.

I have a challenge for you can you conquer the entire world as Germany but you gotta use all the basic units

You should form the great chilian empire and conquer every coastal state in the Americas as chile (and only the coastal states. You can puppet the rest)

Obey the treaty of Versaille!

Would love to see more Equestria at War, love the vids

Motorized aa ONLY ( no air force , no navy , no support ) 🧐

Armored cars are inferior bikes. CHange my mind.

Armor cars in HOI4 just make me sad

What if 50/50 Armored cars and mechanized?

Millennium dawn Japan please do it already stop resisting

Ah yes armored car challenge in hoi4 be like 💀:

Bro, the general rule has been allowing all support companies. And you can use any units to complete any unit count related focus. Please redo

Ah yes , the modern belgian army strategy 😂

You ignored the opportunity to say Mercedes n**s. You are a better man than I! 😅

Land the planes and use them on the ground.
