"The Soviets have suffered 17 million casualties they're not getting out from that". Said every German commander during Barbarossa

[@bizmasterTheSlav]

Yup, soviets suffered over 40 million casualties IRL but still kept existing

[@mehmetkayraozer9164]

​​@@bizmasterTheSlav It's actually 27 million with 18 million of them being civilian casualties.

[@bizmasterTheSlav]

@@mehmetkayraozer9164 Nope, the r*ssian government in February 2017 has revealed that the true losses of the USSR in WW2 are 41 million 979 thousand people (both civilian and military). I deeply hate r*ssia (I am Ukrainian) but the new data makes far more sense than 27 million, considering the incredibly low population growth on USSR-occupied territories throughout 20th century (even though birth rates were high)

Interesting fact here, Bolivia lost a core to Paraguay in Chako war in 1932-1935 (bolivias german military specialists against paraguaian white movement russian civil war exiles). 3/4 of Chako Boreal region was given to Paraguay, but Oil was in 1/4 that was given to Bolivia (second largest oilfield in SA)

had a neat idea, since you use that mod that renames divisions for channel members, maybe at the end of videos you could give a shout out to whichever member unit is the most decorated at the end of a run, like which member it got the name for and some key accomplishments? could make for a neat little thing to do

I’ve always found South America in HOI4 to be really fun to watch (i say that because i don’t know or understand how to actually play).

Whenever you finish a war with a country that owns your cores, if at all possible annex that country whole. Then once the peace deal concludes, simply release as a puppet and make sure to click the box that says "retain core states." So much easier than hunting down every core state and clicking it separately.

[@MrJerppu]

Just gonna drop a hint for Finland for when you get to the letter F, Do not defend Lapland. There is absolutely zero supply there so just put a couple forts on the border of USSR and on the line between Lapland and Southern Finland because Mannerheim has massive defence bonuses. (Forests are your friend)

So I recently did a Germany campaign where I buffed some Allies and the Soviets in the game setup and got some interesting results on the air war. Basically when using intercept I traded from 5 to 1 up to 10 to 1 (being outnumbered like 3 to 1 at least).

I played Brazil of this mod and my god, its a decision making hellhole. So many decisions that are running out of time, so many things to click on, so many things to spent political power on. The decision list is so long. So many focuses on the focus tree to pick at the right time. So many negative notifications popping up. I have to spend so much political power I can't even spend it on advisors or military staff. I'm hoping stuff like this this gets toned down in future updates of this mod. But other than that, I'm impressed. The focus trees so far are good, the national spirit bonuses are good, there are new provinces. Most focuses are less than 70 days. I recommend this mod to everyone to give South America a world stage in HOI4.

[@omegawonton8749]

had a similar game as manchukuo the other day, defeated japan and china, formed the qing, then moved to save the axis who almost capitulated by invading the uk using the japanese navy i stole, went to go invade the ussr but it was 1945 at this point and the game was super slow
