I love when Bo is on the Axis and loses- but it's a close loss. So many times in MP the Germany player just quits, but he fights it to the last man- and it's much more entertaining (and sportsmanlike)

[@Bokoen1]

I honestly think that fighting a slow losing battle is more fun than a fast win! There's just something about fighting to the end and larping haha

The best videos for me is when bo is on the losing side (and even better If he is playing a minor) so much energy and entertainment it's the best

[@epicpantsryummy]

@@Bokoen1 I totally agree. Sometimes a heroic defeat is cooler than a heroic victory. My favorite example was the video with the Sturmtigers and you had the Soviets on the run- but had to pull back to the river while Swimmy is just in denial about the whole thing. They're the best!

[@lordcthulhu8472]

​@@nicholasbaca8065 General Choltitz was ordered to destroy Paris by Himmler, with promise of extra martial and men to carry out the job, with even two railway guns being put in route for Paris. Choltitz ordered the placing of explosive on several important junction and historical buildings, but was unable to get the promised men and martial in time before the allied was already on the edge of Paris. Hitler would himself order Paris destroyed in writing(one of the most discrimiting pieces of edivence we have against Hitler) Two days before the city would be liberated. Choltitz surrendered Paris without a fight to the free french forces, even thought his men had been fighting in the street against the french resistant leading up to the liberation. Choltitz, would go on to defend himself that he willingly disobeyed Hitler order, because he believed Hitler had turned mad. A thing that earned him the nickname, the savior of Paris. Even i find it more likely he just didn't get the means to do so in time, this is after all a man that at least partly gave the order to the Rotterdam bombing, and who already had started to plant explosive in city. Germany attempt to destroy Paris was throught not totally avoided by the cities liberation. As Paris was firebombed by the german airforce the day after, and with V2 rockets being fired at the city over following two months, causing extensive damage.

That tank throw is why I refuse to play coop. I'd rather micromanage everything and lose than see my precious tanks entirely encircled.

[@oldpersonmc18yearold46]

against a decent ussr that means you just die the second they land tanks on d day. it's humanly impossible to micro both those fronts at once.

[@pagatryx5451]

@@oldpersonmc18yearold46 Depends what speed you play at and, to be honest, not really. Provided your army is well managed from the start, all you really have to micro are the tanks. Just don't make any aggressive encirclements if you're under too much pressure, and know when to switch to AI controlled frontlines on the fly to prevent your tanks getting surrounded when you're busy with something else. Never leave your tanks clumped up like that, AI isn't good, but they'll at least react to the enemy. I've honestly dealt with much worse micromanagement in a number of modded multiplayer games with shit like river crossings, more impassable terrain and naval invasions. Oh and doing those stupid wars where you have significantly less infantry than what's necessary to man a front. A simple two sided front isn't exactly that hard to micro, and hoi4 requires far less APM than non-grandstrategy RTS'. So it really isn't humanly possible, and I'd say the main reason why they don't do it here is because it'd probably be really fucking difficult to make entertaining commentary while doing it.

[@oldpersonmc18yearold46]

@@pagatryx5451 you have never played skilled players before and it shows. tanks attached to a battleplan will be killed in the time it takes you to pan from one front to another. if you want to see what i’m talking about look at the vods from the “international” tournament. those players were the best of the best, but the disparity between that and your “average” comp player isn’t that big. even bo and friends are good enough to do that.

[@pagatryx5451]

@@oldpersonmc18yearold46 There's obviously a difference between pro players and normal players. But I have played against skilled players, being a part of many comp discords. I think you're the one who doesn't know what they're talking about considering you seem to think Hoi4 has a higher average APM in comparison to something like Star Craft... You should be able to easily flick between multiple task forces in seconds. If you're sticking to a front long enough for multiple land tiles to have been taken, you're either playing at 4 or 5 speed or suck. And no, Bo and his friends aren't amazing. A few of them including Bo are quite good, but that's about it. They are really lacking in the micromanagement department and typically make a lot of noobie mistakes because they're just having fun. This is a highlights video, not a full playthrough...

[@oldpersonmc18yearold46]

@@pagatryx5451 do tell! would you mind naming some of the discords you’re on? and if they’re “comp” then why would you worry about shitty coops? i never said hoi4 requires more apm than starcraft or other similar games. but that doesn’t mean it still doesn’t require a lot, and what’s more important is that it scales based on how many opponents you’re facing. if they have, say, 3 people (USA-France-Soviets, I’ll assume you don’t usually have Sov coops either) then you’ll have 3x as many actions to keep up with. but seriously, you already proved your skill level when you said you put your tanks on an AI frontline while microing the other front. i’m talking speed 3 and maybe 2 here btw
