Story writing was a nice addition this time around. Really adds to the imersion, which is fun and is sometimes missed with other youtubers

Your little "addition" at the beginning of Your video is... Pretty good. You nailed the immersion when it comes to the whole "should I go to war with NATO, or not?" Thing

Two years on and the disclaimers for playing Russia in modern day HOI4 are getting shorter and less authentic haha

That little girl and speech and the end was a campaign ad for LBJ back in the 60s

9:50 live russian oligarch reaction

I like how you had an option to remove the bloated welfare system, chose not to, and then wondered why your consumer goods were vanishing XD

Across the dnieper, so poetic

Your civs were getting eaten up by consumer goods, when you hover over the consumer goods factory number it should say where its coming from

Colonel Cam. The Siloviki side of the focus tree expands after you coup Vladimir Putin, which got a focus where you can declare war with NATO after defeating Ukraine.

Really rather than the the nuclear weapon button being a "You Lose", there should be a Crisis Escalation mechanic that is determined by multiple factors - including WMDs but also the fall of various cities (specifically near the Polish border). Ukraine could have escalation as well, like bombing Russian soil or inviting NATO aligned troops. Tactical nukes would be on a medium level, and global nuclear war would be the end of the escalation ladder. Both sides would have to watch the escalation mechanic, as it getting too high for Ukraine means the Russians nuke you and if it gets too high for Russia then NATO deploys troops or creates no fly zones.

Hey Cam keep up the good work, been watching you since part 1-2 of the Falangist Poland run and been hooked ever since. A suggestion for a vid could be Poland in Kaiserreich. They have a pretty good Focus and you can choose many outcomes from remaining with Germany or becoming independent, joining Austria or Russia. It truly would be a blast. :)

I felt like your pfp changed, also thank you for another lovely video!

im a staff and a previous developer of the mod, glad you played our mod and hope you enjoyed!

I really like that your hoi4 video style are very peaceful to watch unlike other, I suggest you playing expert ai Germany

how did they make nuclear war event scarier than tnos?

I love the story telling intro!

I have the exact same thinking about "ww3" that will hopefully never heppend

I swear, watching hoi4 videos about the Russian Ukraine war feels so surreal

When I'm in a having controversial political opinions competition and my opponent is a Hoi4 modder:

I think the storytelling part at the start was great

20:10 nega nega

This is js funny as shit🤣 js got a new sub just love the commentary 😂

You deserve more subscribers

the intros get better every time

The economic situatuon in criemea did get a lot better after 2014.

I really liked the "lore", keep doing it pls

Considering how I make up stories in my own HOI4 games, the story addition was great.

Still Waiting for the Channel Pic. Change 👀

press esc when a focus pops up to open the focus tree

When I saw Viktor Orbán's portrait with László Toroczkai's name and with his party, I didn't know shall I cry or laugh

28:57 I kinda laughed when the actual countdown happened For those who don't know, that was a very controversial American political ad called "Peace little girl" ran by Lyndon B. Johnson in 1964. I first watched it in civics class, and the video is just so frickin funny to me.

Okay, tbh in start I think that he said:"Putin raised his hand and said:"Hail!""

24:10 You are correct that superior technology/equipment means victory. The failings of Vietnam are plentiful but I don’t think it necessarily shows that a technologically inferior force can absolutely decimate a superior one, but instead that defending is far, far easier than attacking. Vietnam is jungle, and the US was not only fighting a conventional war but also a guérilla one. What the last few decades has shown is that large militaries are susceptible to guérilla tactics for many reasons. The terrain in Vietnam was super beneficial for the Vietcong, as they could hide traps and themselves anywhere and whittle away at US forces. Additionally, the war was highly unpopular in America, and higher levels of mobilization were impossible if the administration at the time wanted to stay in power. The most important factor, however, was the reality of a Cold War proxy conflict. The US could not step boots into North Vietnam without Soviet retaliation. The most they could do is bomb the North, and that just wasn’t enough. The Vietcong was spread out and decentralized, and couldn’t be easily brought to their knees with a bombing campaign. Suffice to say, Vietnam is a lesson that good equipment doesn’t win wars by itself. It shows that it’s doctrine, strategy, war support, troop morale, and logistics that win them. In the instance of Russia fighting NATO, they have none of those advantages. NATO has had decades more experience with warfare than the current Russian government, and the industrial might of the West is simply insurmountable. NATO is the combined military strength and knowledge of most of the worlds leading powers, having been a part of multiple conflicts since WW2. Russia, even if we’re including the Soviets, haven’t been in many since WW2. Ukraine is holding the Russians with the aid of just a bit of NATO equipment. What would actually well trained, well equipped, and well supplied Western troops do to Russia that couldn’t be described as Mike Tyson decking a toddler. Don’t even get me started with the air war. Russia wasn’t able to get aerial superiority over Ukraine. Air wins modern warfare, and the United States ALONE has the largest air force on the planet. The second largest? The US Navy. The F-22s will have a fucking field day if they finally get to shred Russian fighters. Hell, Western Russia is flat plains, and that is damn hard land to defend. I give them 6 months, maybe. The only issue is, well. The bombs. Luckily my girlfriends hyperfixation is collecting bottle caps, so I will be absolutely loaded.

Why i dont have the right names for citys if i play this mod ?

What’s the song at the start?

Loved this one

Morals? In hoi4?? UNBELIEVABLE!

Ay, finnally playing as the good guys. 💪🇷🇺

The voice snippet at the end was from a Presidential Ad from Kennedy Or Lyndon B Johnson I forget which one

I am Romanian. The name of the guy who is leader when you puppeted Romania is Vadim Tudor. Ummm, he died in 2015.

roast pork leg and doritos, you f*cking gremlin. loved the vid btw, keep up the good work!

Does Someone know the name of the music on 0:57 ?

You really need to try EoaNB

I suggest to spend 20 years as Shukshin's Russian Federation In TNO With the Second west Russian war sub mod

HOWARD HAMLIN?

I haven't watched the video (yet?) but this might be the most controversial one

I like the story intro a lot more. The previous way of showing what you’re doing in the future to going back to the start is really confusing for a first time viewer and may have them mistake your channel for an ADHD editing style channel lol

Can you play TNO and do Monarchist Komi playthrough please??? Also the intro of this video was gold

Nice a Video at 2:30 a.m.

14:54 Ukraine survived because of a lack of cohesion on the russian side. They ran out of fuel for their tanks, they didn't have any understanding of the terrain and didn't have any maps, the units weren't properly briefed on what was happening, they had unencrypted comms (meaning the Ukrainians could listen in and locate who was talking), and they underestimated the Ukrainian resolve and suffered ambush upon ambush.

Ahahahaha pam pam pam pam param pam pam pam param in 2024-2026 when he starting world war.

26:08 the news name 💀

I feel like one of the things weird about the mod is just how much buffs Ukraine gets. Even if you fix everything wrong with the Russian army before the war. Realistically if thats the case, they'd get steamrolled.

that mod is insanely biased lol

What's the russian song used in the video?

Mod?

Vladimir Putin -100% offensive operations penalty +200% boost party popularity scheme bonus

1:30 so glad that a content creator finally said it

Farewell forever (im writing down all the songs)

Wow your videos are very high quality, you deserve wayyyy more subs

Putin has liked the video

Hello

try “east showdown” mod

20:10 What did he say 😭

0:56-1:08 song?

20:10 what did he say???

Correction Viktor Orbán isn't the president of Hungary but prime minister.

COOL

plz play monarchist komi in tno, it’s really fun and wholesome

I think you lost alm your factories because you kept the bloated welfere sistem spirit

you should play "East Showdown". its like "Across the Dnieper", but a little better, though unfinished

ГОЙДА, БРАТЬЯ!!!!!!!!!!!!!

23:57 no 🗿

Fun fact, modern guerrilla warfare like in vietnam and afghanistan only worked because of the Geneva Convention. Historically guerrilla groups would be destroyed through genociding the local populace, very good example of that being the Romans in Judea, Illyria and in Gaul with the deaths ranging from 500k in judea to 1 million dead and another 1 million sold to slavery in Gaul.

6:38 thats not an enclave

Across The Dnieper Better Millenium Dawn And N.V.

How tf does this video hav 7 likes and 3 views

4:03 Free and fair referendum! just like real life!

Personally I don’t think that Russia under any case can win a peer to peer conventional war against NATO, assuming NATO commits everything to the war. Russia doesn’t have many stealth aircraft and do they even have weapons for them, i.e the ones you can put in their weapons bay. Russian Armed Forces was extremely devastated by the war in Ukraine, they won’t be able to fight NATO at all. There is no field where the Russians are superior to NATO, let alone equal.

PLEASE SOMEONE TELL ME HOW DO YOU GET RID OF THE WHITE SQUARES!!

Vietnam and Russia are not comparable. Both wars would be total different. I think Russia could occupy a few swats or NATO area, the Baltic for example. But I don´t see Russia really winning against NATO.

I believe russia wouldn’t win against nato unless other countries got involved in the war against nato. Worse outcome, nuclear war

Vietnam was kind of like Ukraine in reverse. The average native conscripts were poorly equipped, but they were also supported by the USSR with modern equipment and their AA took out over 10k aircraft which the US and her allies were completely unprepared for.

IMMA LION🦁PIZZA🍕CHICKEN🐔

There 100% should be an option to put Andrew Tate in power in Romania lol

Uh oh

do crimea

the moment putin become boris savinkov bravo russian state

It looks so ugly seeing poland behind russia, dont see how it could get fixed

I hope this comment section is peaceful and respectable to each other 🥰

Did you really use a map of Russia with the occupied territories for the thumbnail?

Russia could maybe push into poland but it cannot win a conventional war against NATO.

Bro speaks English, but failed English

Name of the song in 1:00 pls ?

Russia would loose on logistics.

Song; to serve Russia

russia has zero chance against nato.

TO SERVE RUSSIA, LETS GOO (the song)

Russian troops were actually in Kiev and when Ukraine was planning to surrender, they agreed that Russian troops would be pulled out of Kiev, Ukraine didn't hold to their part of the agreement and started an entire counteroffensive. That's why Russian troops had to pull back, they weren't expecting Ukraine to not hold to their part of the agreement.
