The New Meta is Here! - 21 Width Divisions 

And forests. Europe is filled with forests

​hermangrinden1283 Plains too

@@VSMSusi I don’t understand what you’re asking? What do you mean by 'plains?' Are you asking for what support companies that are good for plains? Or are you saying that Europe has a lot of plains? Or something else?

​@@hermangrinden1283he's suggesting plains are the most popular. Idk if he's right

As France or UK you need to hold and push in plains and desert mostly so no joy I think

That’s possible?

@@Unsold_smoothie7 probably

@@Unsold_smoothie7 Yeah, SH Tank TD/AA

Ah yes the popular maus meta

Devs patched it :(

I just put whatever on my infantry and pray that it will work.

Noobs hoi4ers here. Always have a plan for your divisions

@@drox3992 In multiplayer or in really difficult situations/challenges yes, however for your generic infantry the ai is so shit it doesn't matter. I do plan for almost every other division.

​@@darthvader2201 I still do that even tho i have 2000 hours of playtime.

​@@drox3992 "What do you mean you don't use 40 width infantry and actually have fun?"

Yeah the standard 3x3 infantry + artillery and engineer support is also pretty good line fodder. Slap some more arty on it and you got yourself some good divisions

rocket arty is better in the late game

Lmfao same

Me failing tk backstab the Japan's as Manchuria. ALWAYS Forget the naval landings lol.

Alway enjoy seeing the entire enemy army melt when my 20km/h tank divisions break trough and overrun them.

Elon Musk!

More expensive ? Last time I checked they cost like 20% more or something, but as a major, you can afford to not care the higher price

The game is not entirely realistic. If it was, you´d need hard attack to get through fortifications, and normal field howitzers would have a lot of hard attack (as they can be quite devastating against tanks).

No. To do that you need to highlight a division or the General (the portrait on the bottom of screen). You then find the 'change division template' button that looks like 2 green arrows. That button will be at the top left next to your nation flag.

holy chet, thats genius

Band members are usually doubled up as stretcher bearers

you play communist china?

Nah

10w bro even the wind is breaking through these divisions

As long as the width is between 10 and 45 you will be fine to be more exact: Divisions between like 15 to 25 width are acceptable for holding, less than 15 is only for division witch are not actively fighting (like port guards), and more than 25 up to 45 are good for pushing. So the 22w division u'r doing is ok

@@jurunbeio What wwould be an Ideal Tank divison Template with Heavy Tanks and Mechanized? I am using diffrent ones and they seem to be working but i want a effective one. You got any ideas?

@@thesamuraimemelord3581 I typically go 10 Tanks 10/11 mech for 40/42 width, or 7 tanks, 3 sp, and 10 mech for 42 width. Depends on your industry and if you want more soft. this works for mediums or heavies.

bro what countries do u play???

also do u not use any fighters? if u dont then ur cas will all die in a couple months

@kliwenad2430 Not that much. Only if I can't outproduce the losses. If I can, then who cares if some of them get shot down. I already hate the air and navy aspects of this game, so don't blame me for trying to ignore it as much as possible. I was thinking of making a "No Air Mod". Removes every air research, deployed airplane and stocked airplane. Nukes may not be dropped by the AI, only players just by clicking the button. I hate air because it requires more than 2 neurons for brain activation. My 2 neurons are already focused on gameplay and schizophrenia lore (I mostly play mods).

@@iGamezRoair is literally working like this: build as many planes as possible, shove them all into bordering regions, watch the green bubbles. P.S. Navy is the same thing.

Infantry equipment includes mortars

field hospitals essentialy reduce manpower lost by division when fighting (when it´s not overrun. To be perfectly honest they still need big buff (the only nation that you can argue that can use them effectively is Switzereland and that´s because of By Blood Alone DLC focus tree if you rush). Recon is completely underperforming because it very slightly increases chance of choosing better tactic (mainly in defense), however in offense it´s way way worse ( for both offence and defense around 1,3% chance) @@Kingslayer_AoC

Each biome has a different combat width, which you can see by clicking on the province. In battle your army tries to use the number of divisions that result in a combat width closest to the max. Going over it gives a small penalty depending on how much its going over, but I believe in new updates its not that bad.

Different tiles have different combat widths and you want to prevent overstacking the combat width because it gives a massive stat debuff. Some people have done the math and calculated the best combat widths for a combination of tiles and found that 15 21 27 42 have the least amount of overstacking on average on all types of tiles.

Yep I’ve used 12’s with great effect.

How the hell do you even supply 42 width? I'm genuinely curious because as Germany invading USSR, 30 width feels the absolute maximum without everyone starving to death all the time

​@@sgtburden8482air supply

Based

It kinda is but it isn't to bad, the game also teaches you how to play it

You’ll spend a month just learning how to build a division, i have 500 hours and have only conquered the everyone once

@@ghettobootylover4094 i bought the game only for the sole purpose of making Mexico op af with the focus tree, realized it was dlc content, then I abandoned the game

You can learn the game in 5-10 hours while having fun. It’s really just about copying real life WW2 tactics unless you play MP.

​ah yes belgium conquering the world very much what happened irl

A lot of people? Is literally the most used template

Are you really yapping to a developer?
