My name is Hammo and I stream on Twitch! I play a variety of "map games" and strategy games, but my favourite game by far is Hearts of Iron IV.
I love this game and it's complexity, strategy and historical focus, but these are also reasons people can find it hard to get into Hoi4. The endless spreadsheets, statistics, buffs and debuffs can be overwhelming without someone to show you the ropes, which is where this channel comes in!
I will be creating and posting beginners guides, tutorials, walkthroughs, tips and tricks videos, just about everything I can to get you playing and enjoying Hearts of Iron IV as much as I do!

@eli-mi3mh Год назад

Sometimes i like to make 2 different tanks one for piercing one for soft attack if i have the resources

@@hammotimee yeah buddy. Been subbed to you as of this week, your tutorial series helped me immensely. watched your older MP games as well, showed me how much this game actually has to offer. Keep the vids pumping comrade theyre the shit. Question though how do you define goals in your play through? like why do you decide to favor certain alliances/ certain countries to invade etc.? as of right now i just stick to invading neighboring countries for no reason tbh other than to practice warfare (only reason i invaded bulgaria was to practice naval invasion)

@hammotimee Год назад

@@Deepblue417 Aw thanks so much homie! I realy appreciate it, that's so kind! Great question! I kind of have an overarching goal from the get go, but things can change and expand as the game evolves. I usually have a few strategies that I'll always fall back on like trying to take out the largest enemy first (if possible) as if you defeat the major nations all the minors in the faction are instantly beaten too. I also like to eliminate as many fronts as possible, so for example in a Historical Germany game, I'll beat Poland ASAP before I push through the Benelux, and then I'll beat France before I look at Yugo, Denmark etc, then I'll try and beat the UK before I attack the Soviets etc etc It really depends, sometimes if I'm going for an achievement I'll look at it from the perspective of "what could mess up my game potentially, what do I need to be ready for? And I'll act based off that. And sometimes it's just trial and error hahah Like I was playing as Lithuania and got attacked by the Soviets when I was balls deep in Germany, so next game I made sure to have a defensive line to hold out long enough for me to beat Germany so I could bring my full force against the Soviets It sounds really wanky, because it seems like I'm comparing real world stuff to a video game, but if you read The Art of War or watch some videos on general strategy it will help you heaps, because you can develop a mindset of thinking which applies to all games, like only fighting on one front, making sure you have an advantage before attacking an enemy, having contingencies so even if your plan fails your whole game is fucked haha Hope that helps! 😀

@shawnp6653 10 месяцев назад

I'm a pretty new player (single player only) - thanks for making this easier to understand! One question: What is the 'best' way to work new/improved tanks into existing divisions? Great stuff HT - Off to binge on your other videos :)

@hammotimee 10 месяцев назад

Thank you so much! Honestly they'll automatically reinforce as you build more of the new ones, so you don't have to worry too much as a beginner. You can refit old equipment but honestly for singleplayer I wouldn't worry :)

@dutchrjen Год назад

The only benefit of heavy tanks over medium is the ability to put a heavy cannon or heavy howitzer on the tank without needing to use a fixed turret. You can put a bigger gun on the thing without losing breakthrough. Heavy tanks can also have more secondary cannons. You can also use a super heavy cannon with a fixed turret. Heavy tanks really don't have much more armor (especially for the cost and loss to the reliability). In real life the primary thing heavy tanks allow is the ability to have a bigger cannon. Because of the required engineering a certain sized cannon needs a certain sized turret ring (unless you want to use a reciprocating main cannon that's complex and never caught on for any military). In HOI4 you can build heavies with a bit more armor that are much slower but have heavy cannons that can demolish other tank divisions. Towards 1943 you can make heavies with the heavy howitzer which demolishes light infantry. In practice against the AI mediums are pretty much always good enough.

@lbob14jot31 9 месяцев назад

I’m pretty sure diesel is almost always better because it provides enough reliability to remove the need on most tanks to waste production on other parts for reliability and the gas engine only makes it so you don’t have to put a couple more points into engine which only saves a fraction of what the diesel saves

@hammotimee 9 месяцев назад

It's pretty negligible tbh, and from my testing the extra points you out into the engine cost more to get the same speed

@adamk382 11 месяцев назад

So I am a noob, why use flame tanks? What are they good for? The soft attack was really low in your tank. Dont you want it much higher? Also on your medium tanks, why not add wet ammo storage and dozer blades? Entrenchment is really good for holding the line and wet storage lets you add more speed or armor (I love high speed cuz it makes crazy encirclements easy). Also I want to be clear, I am genuinely asking, I know it might come across sarcastic. I am a noob so questioning what you are doing and why is how I can learn

@hammotimee 11 месяцев назад

Not sarcastic at all, great questions! Flame tanks provide terrain bonuses when added as a support company, that's legit the only reason. And if I want to make more expensive tanks I might use wet ammo, but also the more armour and engines the more expensive the tanks are. And dozer blades sound good, but you only get entrenchment for defence, and tanks are primarily an offensive unit, but they have their uses!

@Adam-ox7zo 11 месяцев назад

@@hammotimee thank you buddy! Somehow when I looked over the bonuses, I glossed over the terrain bonuses! Probably because it’s late at night haha! But yeah good points, I usually play as large countries with a lot of factories so I can afford to spend a lot but lowering the cost would help me try the minor countries like Austria was a fun one but a challenging one, I used a mod to help me out a bit or I would have lost fast. I will try again without the mod and see if I can kick some butt and if not, it’s fun trying and learning new things. The increased cost is a really good point, the wet ammo adds cost and then the added engines increases it further, it’s probably why I struggle to produce my tanks. After I finish my French empire play through I’ll try Austria but with cheaper tanks and see what happens! I’ll try flamers too!

@floridaman4073 5 месяцев назад

Always us flame tanks. They can built off lower level medium or light tank chassis to mass produce. The bonuses are great

@gudmundursteinar 10 месяцев назад

When it comes to speed your tanks are limited by your support Infantry 4 kph Cavalry 6.4 kph mech 1 8 mech 2 10 mech 3 12 mot 12 you should design your tanks to match these speeds. Note, your recon limits speed too. match your recon to your support infantry.

@hammotimee 10 месяцев назад

8km is fine for me but really good to know when wanting to maximise this!

@DanGarcia-xd7qv Год назад

Know this is an old thread, but have a question, hope you can answer it-----------> another RU-vidr insists that if you add onto a support, flametank group a bunch of extra oil drums in the top slot, put them in a tank division, it allows the whole tank division to go much further because of the extra fuel drums on the flame tanks. Ever hear of this?

@hammotimee Год назад

I haven't so I couldn't confirm it or not, sounds like a hoi4 thing though haha

@loltroll2 7 месяцев назад

Mechanized gives much more Hardness, so you dont suffer much Soft Damage.

@cxxkie__5236 9 месяцев назад

Hey im fairly new to hoi4 and i am about to naval invade brazil but i needed to know some good amphibous tanks templates, do you have any ideas of what i can do

@hammotimee 9 месяцев назад

Use amtracks instead, you unlock them below the mechanised equipment in the research tree. If your heart is still set on amphibious tanks, just put a lot of soft attack on them and a bit of armour!

@dylanram4653 Месяц назад

for brazil i also reccomend logistic support as well

@Trifler500 10 месяцев назад

The diesel engine only makes sense if you aren't going to put points into Engine to compensate.

@hammotimee 10 месяцев назад

The diesel is great for slow tanks that will just have the minimum speed or tanks that have so many modules and armour it tanks the reliability below 50%

is improved medium cannon against ai infantry good though?

@hammotimee Год назад

Depends what else you have on there but generally yeah

@1stWarlord Год назад

It is worth getting welded armor and increasing armor as much as possible ( while maintaining speed over 8 and reliability over 80% ) because armor actually increases the breakthrough stat of the tank. EDIT: usually it is not worth going full mechanized because of the huge supply consumption. Instead its worth going 50% mech 50% motorized ( or 2 mech and the rest motorized, depending if you are doing a 30w or 42w division ).

@hammotimee Год назад

Depends entirely on what you're doing! I prefer cheaper mediums usually, and against AI more divs are usually more useful, but what you say absolutely works too 😀

@JustMe-in1lt Год назад

Flame tank? I don't have that in my game, or all them armoured cars, even pictures are different, have tons of dlc..... wonder what I'm missing

@hammotimee Год назад

No step back?

@irwainnornossa4605 7 месяцев назад

No. Welded armor, at least. Back in the days of this video, cast armor. No compromises. Torsion bar. Because of reliability. Add speed and armor. No easy maitenance. Wet ammo storage is pretty much the same, but cheaper in terms of army exp.

What is considered an expensive production cost

@hammotimee 9 месяцев назад

How long's a piece of string cobba? Depends on your game plan, I go over it a little bit in here, but as a ballpark for something that's average cost, lights = 5-10ic, meds = 10-15ic, heavies = 20-30ic
