Y'all like boats? GET YOUR BOATING ON RIGHT HERE: wo.ws/440TQFp

In the far future, the real endseig will just be sending you back in time as the mustache man himself to see if you can really fix it lol

Imagine being one of the Lorient boys miraculously relieved after more than 3 years of siege

Mustache man: there is nothing we can do. Manstein: there is an Belgian called Bitt3rsteel that can help

4:20 ironically this is the same reason Hitler refused requests to withdraw across the Rhine, he was deluded enough to believe that they would eventually drive the allies back and thus should keep hold to the left bank of the Rhine, including keeping bridges across the Rhine intact(enabling the Americans to capture several intact and get across the Rhine with ease)

Mit dem Angriff Bitt3rSteels wird das alles in Ordnung kommen

35:40 Did... Did Dönitz just went "Fuck it, we ball." and sank a carrier, 3 battleships, bunch of cruisers and almost 50 destroyers? Ok that's actually impressive.

Yeah the modifier "allied bombing" persists until you cap them all (literally all you fought against). I played 12th of April date with all modifiers (i did the missions) and i faced the same problem with it staying after i got the off German territory. But still i pulled off a world conquest from just schleswig-holstein territory. Also good job for doing it with the missions.

0:22 There is a KZfaq video where someone played 27 April 1945 and won. I also (a small normal hoi4 player) did it. I won't lie, it's extremely difficult, and it is extremely high RNG dependent, but it is possible. Later in the game, you have a chance where the soviets and the allies and up in a war. After that, if you manage to take the Allied territories, the game is already won. I almost forgot to mention that I have 137 saves from that campaign as proof if you, @Bitt3rSteel, need.

I never Thought I was gonna hear Bitt3rSteel say Uwu ever. 33:47

33:48 "That unsightly bulge, üwó" -Bittersteel, 2024

I remember learning about BitterSteiner in my history class, amazing general, love the counter-attack

I like that bits of your set up are to not fall for my mistakes 😂 the falling back to the Rhine was the major one for me, couldn't get back across. Should of warned you about the allied bombing debuff, I tested it after to see what land is required to get rid of it but I could never get it to disappear, must be bugged or not set up correctly

Anything flying will be ME262. That is configured as Heinkel 162 :) Atlantic wall remains on the West were uboat bases. I think Liepaja was a port and uboat base IRL. Pilau and Konigsberg had ports even before WW1.

You know it's a good night when BitterSteel uploads, even if youtube refuses to send out notifications

So I've tried the April 27th start date. I can see why people don't think it's winable. So far my best run has 3 main "pockets". I have the Hamburg hold which is doing quite well at holding on, but as I chose to have my HQ in the alps, it doesn't get any fuel so I can never break out unless I retake a port on the med. I have the Latvian pocket which I managed to build a port so there's some supplies. It's holding fine. Then I have the big one. In the alps I hold from the Wels, Regensburg to the Swiss border following the river. So far staying alive is very easy to do once you've made it into September. But I don't see myself making turning the situation into a win. There just isn't enough fuel. Perhaps trying to hold only the north could work. But there wouldn't be as many building slots to build refineries & that's allot of equipment lost to the south. Maybe losing Hamburg temporarily to make Munich the capitol for enough time to delete the whole of the southern army could work. But I'll keep playing this run before trying anything like that.

someone: wait a moment a blitz through france again? establish vichie!? Didn't we see this almost 10 years ago!? lol the allies gotta be questioning what happened.

As always still enjoy the videos going back to the Patreon days.

I loved the “but it’s like 1945, what are you going to spend the political power on?”

Oh god I crack myself up when i hear you saying “but it’s like 1945 where do you will spend those pp points” in that fancy accent 😂😂

Where is Equestria at War Bittersteal? We know you need it

I think Dankus got the last scenario in the bag already

Hey bitterst3al just like to say that i love your videos and to keep up the great work, I stay up til 10:30 every saturday to watch your new post. Cheers man, have a good one.

inb4 all the “steiner counteroffensive worked” jokes

5:16 😂😂the voice change. And also another amazing video Bitter

Its better to use engine 4s in the modern jet aircraft in this scenario. The AI never builds jets, and its cheaper, you have better range, and better fuel consumption, to do it that way. And the 27th of April Scenario is possible, you just have to delete your divisions as your capital shifts around, and once your capital is in the north, you want to hold there.

BRING IN THE RUCKUS BITT3RSTEEL

I wonder if allied bombing hasn't gone away due to some axis member or something having a german core maybe? Like Italy has South Tyrol, and germany might also have cores on part of their Netherlands puppet, Vichy, or maybe even neutral Switzerland. Those cores might be wrongly included in the surrender limit calculation, or the modifier check if it actually is lying and isn't using surrender progress.

Anti tank I believe actually was useful here for the defense you get from it

is this where the cool kids hang out

allied commanders be like: the hell? why are we getting beaten? I thought we already managed to shatter their forces?

Hey, I did some writing for this mod! Thanks for the video, and im glad you love it!

Thank you bittersteel for making me better at hoi4. Last month I couldnt even take poland as germany and now i can take on the soviets, italians, the allies and japanese

33:00 he pulled off what the germans in real life failed to do

33:35 Schleiffen would be jumping in joy.

Wonderful as always buttersteel

Try Endsieg 1918

Castlereagh has done the battle of berlin scenario with all debuffs and kind of won, he made a video on it. after 9 hours he was still in poland but france was retaken. By the time he ended, he was in a much better place and probably could have won

6:04 Centralized control does not make all your missions perferm better they improve the mission efficciency of your planes so if they dont cover the zone 100% it helps with that

19:09 you could say it's... all quiet on the western front

That mod is the wolfenstein history of germany lol

You should play this mod again with another youtuber on higher difficulty and manage 1 front each of you

Love your content ❤❤❤❤

Bitt3rsteel i love your videos ❤

I agree with its quite hard

The FlashGiiz appearance had me laughing 😂

I don't imagine the Panzer divisions would be too happy being handed riveted Panthers in late 1945 while the Airforce is getting all new 262's

Impressive, great video

Incredible Video as always. Wish I could micro a frontline like that :D Do you per chance play Black Ice? One of my favourite mods for the game, but i could for sure use some inspiration on how to actually win it as germany.

Can you just imagine Allied command when they hear Vichy France is back

I tried doing this and camping in schlesvig and holestein(I capped in 1948 bc of the nukes whoch dropped my war support) but the ai you fought aginst on the west was way less agressive

0:00 life is suffering, we are made to enjoy life so we enjoy suffering too. And hey, I'm here to suffer with you

France: "ah shit, here we go again."

I've beaten the last start date (after about 50 retries). I've invaded America at the end in around '52. The bombing negative modifier never goes away.

irl the konigsberg pocket had over 50 divisions gg

I love how the strategy Bittersteel did to get Germany back in the war is as historical as it can be. If you can't hit the Soviets back, commence the Battle of the Bulge against the allies

I think these werent parts of the atlantic wall but u boot harbours that were hard to attack so they just encircled them. They capitulated only at the end of the war

I’m learning blackice, try that next

I wish the base game had these scenarios. Strange they never added more since launch, still just 1936 and 1939.

Some of the Atlantic wall didn't give up until the surrender

You need to make more videos bro keep up ❤

I’ve done Aprl 27th on elite, with all factions strengthened, just be prepared to loose hitler, Berlin and almost all victory points. Also did get lucky as Allies got distracted with the soviets

33:00 Won the Battle of The Bulge

Funfact: The fortress of Dunkerque was where one of the last German counterattacks happened and it was somewhat successful

I need a bitt3rsteel navy tutorial and air tutorial

Imagine being used as a distract😂💀☠️

When you think about it, 1944 to early 1945 Germany's border indeed resembles the old HRE border.

The timeline where mustache man took direct control at March 6

Woke up to a new Bitt3rSteel video, yay 🎉

we convinced him to play it! also, what if you try to play non historical, with historical ai?

This is great.

at last Bitt3rsteiner has counterattacked

It's the man's birthday !

sheesh, how did Hilter send you his disaster save???

Best Mod Ever

38:24 you sunk the prince of wales…. Despite it being sunk by the Japanese in 1941… interesting

32:40 Germany in operation typhoon

I tried this,survived till the 31st of MAY!!!!

Just imagine the allies in 1945 just slowly pushing into Germany after winning the battle of the Bulge thinking the war is over and then Germany just pushes back every front, defeats France again, pushes the Italian front back, invades the Soviets and then naval invaded Britain… All I gotta say is there would be some very shocked people on both sides.

The infantry prevails when the armour fails ---- Bitt3rSteel

27:58 4 months in game - 7 hours played

Steiner when her counter attacks

its truly amazing how good bittersteel is att hoi4

watching this at the 27 of april what a coinkydink

an option for a white peace with the Americans if you capitulate both the Soviets and the British would be nice, cause realistically there was no way either side was going to be able to naval invade each other across an entire ocean at that time.

Good job,bruder

I know this isn't really in relation to this video, but since they recently changed how world tension works when you justify on a nation, what should I do to raise it if my world tension isn't above 20% in order to take Chechoslovokia? (I was following ur Austria Hungary video u released a while back)

World of Warplanes sponsor when? Now that you've had sheeps and tonks :D

Maybe the real endsige is the friends we made along the way

33:47, cursed, I like it

I assume they didnt expect ppl to get rid of allied bombing

Dankus did it april 27 but im not sure if he did it with the debuffs.

I admit it bittersteel, I like boats ❤

Hey quick question what is the jazz music at the start of the video

When you use anti tank, do you ever find that you actually recover more armour when using maintenance or whatever on the defensive? Or does anti tank simply destroy the armour and you recover less (or none at all)?

36:39 all of the chinese minors are joining your hands💀

Bittersteel is a masochist, it just has to be

that sounds hard ill try it 🙂

HOI4 needs to add a small update on the peace treaty like you can prevent them to do military stuff like in the treaty of versailles and some more stuff to prevent their growth not just taking lands or navy

Dankus did the 27th April start date
