So, as has been pointed out...Arsenal of Democracy requires the USA to be Democratic...So fire Charles Coughlin and Hire Harold L. Ickes at the end and sit there becomming democratic! OOPS!

“Find all of your ships, and put them in one big giant fleet.” He’s going historical.

Becoming the Free American Empire is a bug which happens when you core Alaska/ Puerto Rico/ Hawaii after the civil war.

3:45 that accent tho..😂

Just found your channel about a month ago, I've watched nearly one of these achievement videos. Great work dude, keep it up.

I get chest pain every time I watch an older video and see you had to research doctrine (started right at NSB)

I haven't found anything actually very good at explaing the navy. Mordred Viking does a good job of explaining it, but its hard to sit through a live stream. I'm really tempted to make a tutorial, it's super fun once you figure it out. But the AI is even more trash with the Navy then it is on land. So its actually easy to beat them. No death stacks. It hurts organization in battle and is INCREDIBLY INEFFICIENT. Use spotters (destroyers and light cruisers with spotting planes) to patrol. Set up capital ships with admirals. A strike fleet for the U.S. at the start would be 2 carriers, 5 battleships, 4 light cruisers, and 20 destroyers- the U.S. lacks light cruisers- you should build more. Ideally you'd want 10 light cruisers. Use Clemson destroyers for convoy escort, and Farragut class for strike fleets. And build better destroyers because those are terrible. Also, the AI never builds capital ships in any quantity- and usually doesnt build any if they do, they're terrible. Written out this may look complicated but it's easier than land combat. Its way more automated, you dont have to micro ships. Click the zones you want patrolled and forget about it.

Challange: Form Austrian Hungarian Empire as democratic Czechoslovakia. You can do Munich disagreement as a bonus to

You're one of the best hoi4 youtuber for me and im waiting for "It's 1812 all over again". I hope u will make video about it someday. Have a nice day man.

I always build Infrastructure in Texas and Louisiana first to get more oil so the oil won't run out when you grind Naval XP (yes you actually run out of oil until you're off Undisturbed Isolation) and build nothing but Mills until after the Civil War

"iam not into navy" me neither budy me neither...

Hurray, welcome back. have a nice day bittersteel.

""I wish i could, but I am an idiot." never has a sentence described my life way better

Would you be able to do the hidden "Bearer of Artillery" achievement? Seems difficult and all tutorials are from around 2016

It feels good to be overpowered since the start for once.

Just want to say thanks for this guide, have tried for ages to get into HOI4 and have always struggled when war breaks out, this guide was really clear and was able to follow it, with a few of my own detours :) to nab the Georgia on my mind achievement, this was on v1.10.8

Really enjoying your stuff! Would love to see you try to thrive(survive?) as Estonia with no faction.

My strat for this achivement was well planned, but non historical, things happened, got lucky. Lol

Kinda late to the game here. I got the achievement for Georgia but I just don’t understand what I’m doing wrong with the peace conference and how you were able to get all of Britain and so much of the ussr. Thanks for the tips. They were super helpful. Thanks again keep up on the achievement videos

If you're not into navy like myself, just build subs all game and the bathtub fleet is usually enough to get supremecy for any invasions

This is the first video of yours I have watched. You have earned a sub and I hope to keep watching your content in the future :)

Oh my god that attempt at a southern accent was cursed lol

You could a central powers challenge. As imperial Germany control all 1871 territory Be the leader of a faction that includes Austria, Turkey and Bulgaria. (They can be puppets)

Great video, i haven't see your other video yet, but this is amazing quality video. Instant Subscribe.

Great guide BT. I'm doing a similar run, but I prefer the democratic-commie-democratic exploit that gives you the 'shatter the empires' focus and the join the unions with the USSR pretty much for free. USA is one of my favorite nation to play.

Excellent civil war guide for the USA. As a tweak on that, I would suggest starting with no focus until you can get a silent workhorse. Those war department focuses are of no use in the early game. As for the rest, you can also make a detour via Turkey after taking out the UK. It allows to get the third Georgia much easier as you will almost certainly occupy that, and is a nice backup plan if you're not too confident about invading the Soviets. For a next video, just for the lols, why not try a naval invasion with amphibious tanks? ;-)

Another tip for Navy- to streamline production at the start of the game for a country like the U.S. or U.K. organize the ships based on completion date. Earlier ones on top. Then put on all extra dockyards to the first ship. Once it completes all those dockyards go to the next in line making it finish quicker. This way the dockyards stack quicker to finish the big ships sooner. And make sure you have the number of ships set to 1. That way you wont waste production building crappy subs for example. The Soviet Union is the worst with this.

For those of you who are curious about what naval comp you should use, I use four carriers, four battleships, and 32 light cruisers. I got this from a steam guide, and as the UK, I destroyed the ai Japanese navy with only one tech researched in the naval carrier doctrine

Holy crap 4 usa achieves at once POG was wanting to do Usa achieve run soon too These don't Involve LAR, do they?

I can't stop replaying 3:44!! Its just too funny. OMG that accent!!!

WAKE UP IN THE MORNING I GOT GEORGIA ON MY MIND AK47 MAC11'S GLOCKS AND NINES

DUDE!!!! that impression of Dr. Arliss Loveless in wild wild west was great.

Could you do a compilation video of achievements that don't deserve a 40 minute video? Such as the Benelux, Bell Tolls for Us, Balkan Powder Keg, Hellenic Civility, etc?

>not nuking the french at every opportunity

i find it is best to put your navy into three strike forces with - 1 carrier, (build 2 more for each fleet) 5 battleships and everything else split into 3. Anything remaining that can't be split into 3 + all your light cruisers into 2 scout fleets. then build up those fleets evenly. At the start of the game, add another Yorktown Carrier to your queue and put each of your new carriers on each strike force. (edit: if you do a non-historical path which involves a civil war, your navy will be screwed and you'll have to improvise depending on how much of the navy you get.)

I did this myself, did fairly well until the UK part. I didn't get enough warscore against the allies and Germany and Italy took it all. I was about 9 months behind due to struggling during the civil war so that probably played a part.

I always go for the first focus on the left side of the Silver Legion Sub Branch as soon as possible (20% Fascist Support.) That way you can snipe some factories from the Constitutionalists before the Civil War and it'll still leave you with enough time to do The Bund and Free Corps Focuses

Here's a challenge, use the grand battleplan doctrine. Jk can you play as Canada please?

35:51 Anyone just notice that random island North of Russia that Italy naval invaded for some reason?

God stuff, like always!

You came for the guide, I came for the music 25:32

I cant believe how nice those borders look

Yissss, another guide!

If your going heavy fighters then what I normally do is research them continously, and when I get that heavy fightr bonus, I start immediatly researching heavy fighter 3 So in 1940 start or start of the middle I Can produce heavy fighters 3👌 and a small upgrade added on their engine with thew few Air XP you have

That was a pretty good guide about the US

My man you saying the south will "riase agin" was fucking hilarious

So I’m not sure if it changed recently but the Arsenal of Democracy achievement actually requires you to play as democratic USA in order to get it but everything else was well done

3:44 bro he has a better southern accent than me and I was born in kentucky💀

Great video. Thank you for showing and clarifying the Undersex Achievement. The Silver Legion has a bug in the game. I tend to delete my units prior to going into the Civil War Does anyone know how to get the Pride and Extreme Prejudice Achievement? I keep playing as the US and a few times Germany. I tried Japan as a suggested recommendation.

What is that chilling music at the beginning? =D

always go 2 ocean act early game. more ship production in early game better and more ships.

Make your country proid and transform little Waffleland into the mighty European Union. (Optional chalange: do not change ideology)

Thanks for your videos man! Can you make the bear achievement with Poland?

Anyone know what music is used at 23:42, I really like it

Challenge: True Switzerlake (Own every noncoastal province) hard mode is no puppets. Easier challenge: As Chilie (or Croatia) own every coastal province while not holding any non coastal provinces (no puppets)

Georgia is also in the mind of the Republican and Democratic Party in these days.

Italy took south Georgia before my first turn

Here's an interesting challenge idea: Play as Bulgaria in 1936 and control every single province in the world (World Conquest). 1. You have to be fascist by the end of the campaign, but you can start as any ideology you want. 2. You can integrate/destroy whatever factions you want. 3. Go down any branch of the focus tree you want. Idk why but I think this would be a cool challenge to see you undertake with how versatile and interesting the new Bulgaria focus tree is.

I agree that the US navy is more than capable as is but I always like to make a ton subs and also a large number of light cruisers with a very good spotting and then distribute those among my fleets. Without a decent spotting, your fleets are mostly useless and light cruisers are best when it comes to spotting.

This seems much more complicated than necessary imo. There's a little-known decision where you can annex the USSR for free as the USA. They need to be at 80% towards capitulation to do this, and you must be in the Comintern. So all you need to do to get this achievement is go Communist and join the Commintern, aid Germany to make sure they beat the Soviets (don't join the USSR's war against Germany), then annex the USSR at the last minute, and powerstomp Britain with Germany's help.

Nice! I wondered why Emperor Hirohito keeps declaring on me after I flip brown party. I guess I just need to cut the Phillippines loose after the war. Works for me, as long as I remember to do it after choosing the president following the war. My last run I puppetted them as part of the peace deal with the Constitutionalists, before the Silver Legion officially took power, so they were non-aligned. Anyway, I prefer not to lobby Congress unless I absolutely need the votes to pick up a focus. Often enough the random events keep my approval high, so I can use the PP for other things. Okay, here's a challenge. It's one I've been working on, but haven't been able to achieve yet: Obtain the New World Order achievement. Rules: You may play as any European country, plus Canada, the US, South Africa, Australia, or New Zealand, but you may not declare war on any other country on the list. The exception would be a civil war to flip brown party, or if the target country is run by the red party. (The only one that fits, as I recall, was already planning on breaking its non-aggression pact to begin with, and was hell-bent on turning the whole world red anyway.) Any other country is completely fair game.

What is the song around 25:00 during the civil war? It sounds very familiar

Um why would you do lobbying Effort if there is going to be elections in November and its going to be " reset"

BTW there is an exploit where you just name any divison template "Silver Legion" and when you press the "raise the silver legion" 6 division of any template that is name "Silver Legion" Will spawn. And before the civil war ends rename then to anything. You will keep the division. I tried this with medium tank and oh boy was it fun.

I did this run exactly this way and HOI4 screwed me so hard!!! Basically all I had was the Deep South and was super surrounded. I ended up making a big gamble and dug in, made a small tank force, invaded Mexico, and flanked the West Coast. Didn't do it before the Allies got involved but ended up with basically the entire western hemisphere and Central Asia in the end.

Nice video mate, next, do finish him if you have balls :D

Can you do this again but in hoi4 mp game with mondern weapons tanks/vehicle’s with artillery jets etc

What was that southern voice he made dear lord someone get a priest

You can flip without civil war so did you just do it for the achievement or is this somehow better

28:36 greetings from Emden :)

Can you delete units like 9ther civil wars or lend lease equipment before the war kicks odd and cancel?

Sorry for the double-dip, but I just realized why you lost the Philippines following your civil war, but I didn't. In the early game before the war, I kept an eye on the islands. Every time they finished training a division I requested it and dropped it into an army, but didn't move it to the mainland. My plan was to ship them to the US to use against the Constitutionalists, but I forgot to do so before the Boston Rebellion. As a result, they were exiled on the Philippines until the Constitutionalists called them in as an ally. When that happened, I took my army of natives and started occupying cities and ports there, since my Freikorps troops already had the main theater well in hand by that point. The combat activity in the Philippines drew the country into the peace conference to be annexed (preferable, so they can be flipped brown for NWO,) puppeted, or liberated.

Emperor Douglas MacArthur is…maybe the coolest thing I’ve ever seen happen in this game.

Kinda wished ya didn't do historical for once. Would've been funny if ya actually got Adam Hilt in charge.

Making my way to right, walking fast, civil war on the rise

The best state song

I was doing this but when I was invading the UK Germany had spanish volunteers and they took London without my permission and that messed up that peace conference

How about a Quick Czeckmate video that might (or might not) be paired with the Munich disagreement ? Or somme quick "Rule Brittania" ? (As Canada I suppose ?)

I messaged Bitt3r on Discord about this challenge but he changed it from the Union acheivment to the Confederate one

Challenge: As Austria capitulate Australia. Additional Challenge: Do the reverse

LMAO THAT TEXIAN ACCENT 3:43 XDDDDDDDD

I wonder if you could just naval invade L.A. from the panama Canal? Who keeps the Panama Canal in the civil war? I might have to play this out to see.

Bitter. Help! I am playing as USA. Got the Arsenal of D achievement and assumed leader of Allies. It is 1945 and Britain is basically trapped in England but supposedly have over 200 divisions. I can't get them to send me any forces, even after I sent them over fifty divisions. What gives?

FINNALY SOME MEANTIONS US GEORGIA

At 32:08 it looks like Canada has all of their Territory but later on it looks like America has west Canada like in the thumbnail dose anyone know how/why?

Go full CSA OTHER FREEDOMIST POEPLE : am I a joke to you

Think you could get to every country to be Democratic starting out as Germany with historical focuses on (optionally Elite)?

ive always just said fucking with the 2nd american civil war and just micro'd the entire thing without any fancy cheese

If I'm at about 15% WP and only London is left, do I just convoy raid and strike force my navy around Britain to build up more WP or do I send my armies elsewhere to capitulate the other allies? I took London at 18% and of course Italy took Georgia as its first demand.

took me too long to figure out i needed 51 forces from Britain, not just 50

I am from Georgia. Guess which fucking one tho

for naval just produce subs 3 and gg.

YAAY another naval noob like me

You lost the Russian Georgia when you gave territory back to Russia.

@24.00 soundtrack ?

BitterBurger, best Burger :V

Luxembourg world conquest when?

11:00 whats the song name

What DLCs did you have equipped?

I'm in 1945, trying to switch back to Democratic for the Arsenal of Democracy achievement. I have the advisor, and am sitting at around 70% Democratic support. No referendum popup and there are no change ideology decisions available (civil support, discredit gov., etc.). Is this a bug, bad rng, or can you not switch back to democracy at this point?
