USA, but only Historical Presets & Divisions In HOI4?

I've been on a HOI4 binge of using only the historical presets given by Paradox, alongside accurate, historical division organization. Can I do the same as the USA, and support the world through lend-lease?

The addition of Historical presets into Hearts of Iron IV was an awesome thing for massive history nerds like myself. Now, I play REALLY historically, using only the stupid tanks and planes that happened in real life! I'm aiming to do this with EVERY country in the game (or at least every major) so let me know a good suggestion down in the comments for more countries to play!

Within the systems of HOI IV the Lee/Grant having a fixed superstructure is *technically* accurate, as the 75mm gun was considered its main armament, with the turret being auxiliary and primarily for anti-tank use (which was not what the M3 was intended for at all, it was very much an infantry support tank).
@boriskoz8042 4 ай бұрын
i would say itd be more realistic to do a 2 man turret with small cannon and use the additional turret modification to represent the side gun as im pretty sure the icon for it is even a sponson like the lee has
@kassaran2092 Ай бұрын
@@boriskoz8042 The icon for the additional turret is more in reference to the twin-turret tank designs of the inter-war periods such as with the m2a2. There were also early issues with making a turret ring that was reinforced enough to absorb the shock of the 75mm gun firing and to get around that, American tank designers used a French solution (put the big gun in a sponson within the main hull and use smaller guns for interim fires).

In terms of modern ideas of tanks, sure. But when you unlock the basic Med Chassis the initial reliability is somewhere around 70% and only goes down as you add things. Meanwhile a fixed superstructure increases reliability. So that can help to explain the design. As for why they did that in real life, beats me.@@Aldrahill

@_EllieLOL_ Ай бұрын
@@masonpellazar6543The US didn’t have the technology to fit such a relatively large gun into a turret at the time, so they had to make due by putting it in the hull and using a smaller gun in the turret instead. Once they figured out how to fit it into a turret, they changed over to the Sherman instead. It was a stop-gap measure that they didn’t like, but rather they had to do if they wanted the bigger cannon.

It is also the heart of industrial Italy, and it’s breadbasket, and has been in serious drought for the last 2 years, which sadly won’t be ending because rainfall hasn’t been great but the real source is the alpine glaciers are just empty now. There’s already the first signs of entrenched deserification and increase salinity at the Delta. Tldr it’s really bad. But yes the river line you hold in Italy is the po. And the mountains that curl around south the river is the northern tip of the Apennine’s I think.

Learned of a cheeky strat when adding SP units to tank divisions. If you severly buff the armor on self-propelled tanks/anti air/anti tank, and then add them to divisions of fairly cheap tanks, you can artificially up your templates hardness and armor rating. Essentially cause your 1 battalion of 50 tanks have the highest armor rateing, that tanslates to x amount of points towards a divisions hardness/ armor ratting. In essance your boosting your armor rating for a fraction of the ic and actual tank count of a standard battalion.
@Aldrahill 4 ай бұрын
Doesn’t the hardnesses and armour value derive from the average of the whole division? Or does the maths work out that just makes a sack of armour with a gun on top the most op option :P
@MrBulldog855 2 ай бұрын
@Aldrahill it's a combination of the average pluss a percentage of the highest units armor value. So a single SP unit of 50 tanks with a ton of armor consistently raises armor value of the division by 25-30 points.

if you research maintenance companies 2, you unlock easy maintenance part for tanks. It increases your reliability and slightly reduces production cost. For us, its also included by default on the presets if you have it unlocked when you chose the preset, so it makes the already decent presets even better. Also you can "technically" have glider paratroopers, but its not a division design, its a general power if you have the paratrooper trait.

You never need to click the medium lobbying effort at all. Do the first focus, hire the PP guy, then do two small lobbying efforts. The preset events will get you to the tresshold you need to get rid of the big depression. The support for the 1936 elections is pseudo-random, so the small lobbying efforts you need to do will vary.

The M3 Lee is one of my favorite tanks due simply to the reason it was designed. After the fall of France, the US realized that their M2 medium fleet was woefully outdated, and instead went to a design that would eventually become the M4 sherman. However, as it became blatantly apparent that war was inevitable for the US, they had to make a stopgap vehicle while the Sherman was undergoing trials.

Okay. So on the divisions and national guard. The US has 3 main armies (we will fuck you up Russia. Stay away from Alaska) The US army (divisions 1-24) The National guard which replaced the state Militias after the Spanish war? (Divisions 25-76) And the Army of the United States, the wartime army that exists to expand the army rapidly and allow to to shrink again during peace time without causing total and complete chaos (divisions 77-onwards) Part of the national guard system was the old state militias would buy their own equipment and organize themselves based on local practices and skills. So like some states literally just had nothing but light infantry and skirmishers since they hand hunting cultures and everyone owned a rifled gun to bring when called to serve. The national guard was basically everything being standardized on the federal system, same uniforms, same weapons, same organization. So the pre 1941 infantry being the national guard, is more accurate to say is just the interwar army division for the entire US army system.

The fact that this guy's does MASSIVE research on the countries' divisions, but is absolutely oblivious about the vehicles specifics and how they looked/worked and what where their equipment is absolutely hilarious to me. Btw, thw supply thing? That changed with the Soviet Union's DLC, so uh... Yeah, read the dev blogs lmao

@@Aldrahill dw mate, remember that now supply hubs exist, they provide supply for the troops alongside ports, railways are now essential for supply distribution, make sure to take a look at that in future playthroughs, infrastructure is also important but unless you have like a 0 or 1 infrastructure province it won't really help as much as having a proper railway system well connected to a set of ports or supply hubs. Also, airdropping supplies can help if you have enough air coverage and your airport is inside a well supplied zone. Make sure to use the supply filter for the map, the bluer, the better supply, the redder, worst supply.

My greatgrandpas crushed German blitzkrieg at the gates of Moscow and didn't see any lend-lease before 1942. Lend-lease numbers might seem huge, as an example, 10k allied planes might be a lot for Western Front, but take into consideration that the USSR produced 100k during the war

That's cool buddy! I have no one in my family history that fought, which somehow feels a shame! The thing is though, a lot of the lend lease was non-military equipment, including grain, cans of meat (Tuchanka was almost replaced in some parts of USSR with things like SPAM :P ) and other perishables. It was a STUPIDLY large amount. Doesn't discount Soviet work though!
