Full Guide To 2023 HOI4 TANK META! 1939-1945

Is this mod designed a tank like this? I have a different variation
Then the supports you have i dont🤔

So is this a mod as I normally use the Road to 56 or Blaze mod and they have tanks already built with this idea rather than making your own ?

I always went with the expensive, but solid all around medium. Then again, I only ever have like 6 42 width tank divisons backed with mechanized all the way through 1943, and that is because I use them, obviously for encirclements, but when I'm playing as someone that isn't Germany, like France, it keeps my casualty count stupid low, like 68k to 500k or more. Then again, that might not be the most efficent method any longer.

you're so good!! :D This is not a joke xDDD I think you are the smartest hoi player

Put an medium tank gun on a light tank with fixed turret ant make it an anti tank tank. It’s super meta. It uses less supply than the artillery tank and has more hardness while giving soft and hard attack

Bruh your space marines are awfully expensive, mine are 10 IC and have 100 armor in 1940.

Can someone sum-up long 15 minutes video in one line with what to build with your tank?

I made Artillery tanks and slapped 3 of them on my offensive divisions. Took me a little bit but I realized I literally made a tank division at that point lol.

Do Armored Recon bonuses depend on the quality of your light tanks? i.e., Should I bother developing a great light tank if I only use them for recon?

What I still do is I do the cheapest highest tier of light tank I can and get a ton out before making a late game roided out version but convert into it. Using less production for it, less mats and over all needing less mils over all to make them. It's not a big deal to wait for the ramp up because you already have your tank recons filled out.

You still have to add on a good heavy flamer tank how ever it's a way to cheaply do it. There is no cheap way to do heavy tanks tbh. Maybe can work for mid tanks but tanks keep getting nerfs to counter this stat it's sorta what over compared for smaller nations.

1x Medium SPAA to infantry div. You get piercing, Air attack, huge armor with supply reduction due to AA tank spec. First medium chasis is enough and it will cost you 7.5 production. 20 mills with concentrated should keep production with 20 inf. Mills. Make it fast to use it late in tank div.

you rly missed on this one

Kind of sucks we have to buy new DLC all time :S

Since the armour of a division is like 40% the max and 60% the average, what I like to do is make an expensive SPG or AA tank with max armour possible for that 40% (reliability can be low) and add one of these in the armoured template to spike up the armour, the rest are normal tanks with good reliability and cost-effective stats.

Im playing RT56 as Latvia in 1945, and i decided to make rather old improved medium tanks with a improved small cannon and ofcource the newest tech in it (kinda cursed ngl) because i had no tungsten and barely any metal so the armour was 60mm.
Now that i think of it that was a very bad idea...

I have 1000 fucking hours in this game and yet I also come back to daddy feed back because I have no fucking clue what I’m doing

You have some of DLC ?

you should make division templates for us pls :)

Just got a question for you guys. I have all the DLC's installed but for some reason my Germany doesn't have 1934 Medium tanks. Is there a mod you have downloaded or am I doing something wrong?

When you leave radio out of tank i'll stop watching. Radio II gives +40% defence and 25% breakthrough, best thing you can put to your tank.

This got me thinking about early war Anti Tank weapons. I feel like there should be an earlier tech that gives Infantry some sort of counter. Like interwar AT guns.

Soviet union have an focus call tankograd, give you some factory and make cheeper some equipment for tanks

Historically accurate tanks are always fun to do imo

Doing the Lord's work, thanks man

@FeedbackIRL, have you tried to boost tank or air production speed by conversion. You do BASE tank template -cheapest as you can, put in production, decomission it, and then from its base convert to more expensive design. It boosts the production rate and saves you a lot of resources, because conversion is cheaper then producing from a scratch. It maybe not so usefull for major nations, but for minor nations it is a great solution. It saved me too many times. For example as any African nation without aluminium, it will you save you a ton of it for the war with Major nations.

Radio where?

Add the bulldozer onto medium flame tanks. It only costs one IC. It's not that much more and it adds more bonuses. I end up with so many medium flame tanks that I have too many even with one military factory producing them.

Historically this makes sense too as the "flame tank unit's" "NATO symbol" is the armored engineering symbol. Armored engineers would have bulldozer tanks, flamethrower tanks, mine clearing tanks, and the "funnies" tanks.

Reliability doesn't matter when the division requires 20 or less of that equipment. Feel free to make all slots extra ammo for free breakthrough and defense. Even light recon the most you need is 16.7% reliable because its only 24 tanks.

what a joke after playing this long and still this suck

Would you do a millennium dawn pkaythrough?

Me watching this without no step back: Interesting 🤔

Thanks for the tips Mr Dinklage!

Imma be honest. None of this is meta. This is coming from someone who's played against strong players in MP and min maxes in SP. Generally speaking there isn't much different between SP and MP meta. The combat calculations are the same so the same stats are still just as good in MP as they are in SP. Only difference is you focus on hard attack in MP and Soft attack in SP. Otherwise the designs are the same cuz the best stats are still the best stats. And these designs are terribly inefficient.

bruh isnt even playing on the newest version

I don't like using flame tanks for morality reasons...

Dave the brilliant!

Dave the all knowing!

All hail Dave the WISE!

Hello, i've bought this game 2 days ago and I didn't know how to defeat france ai😢😢thank to this mister now I know how to make tanks. Now show me real meta with 1200 breakthrough please

I've been going with the starting German heavy tank, have it replaced the PNZ.2 production line so you don't loose everything. From there get some that heavy onto your motorized infantry and once those fill, use the extras to convert to what you need as needed.

The bean counters in UK will definitely be hiring FBG to make tanks for WWIII for them . "Sorry chaps but the tanks that'll keep you alive just cost too much mate!"

try to Pronounce Versuchsflammpanzer as a non german - it`s like pronouning some places in wales. PS: if you break it down and say Ver-suchs-flamm-pan-zer you get it ;)

Doesn´t it make sense to make your tanks at least 8 mph quick? So that they don´t slow down your armor divisions (with mot infantry)?

Bro is doing Noob vs Pro thumbnails💀💀

Space marines were and always will be a part of the meta.

My tanks always go automatic cannon and max out breakthrough. And then have a td design to help with other tanks.
