China in 1939 is Pure AGONY in HOI4

[@mohammadshehada267]

Historical China Division only in Blak ice 😂😂

[@isakhylander]

YES

[@Operator_Stal]

I mean, historical chinese divisions in ww2 were whatever they had to spare in the region There was little optimal organisation in the KMT to allow a single unit to show its face and even then most chinese units were practical militia units of again whatever they had mixing that in with the units being understrength.

You know what is relaxing, easy and certainly not insanity inducing? That's right, Black ICE China with historical divisions

[@Aldrahill]

Oh god xD

[@idontlikerome2744]

Black ice?

[@charliebasar9068]

This has convinced me Aldra has to play Eight Years War of Resistance. One of the most frustrating but fun china campaigns I have had.

[@Aldrahill]

YES I realllly need to play that! Next time I wanna do China not in black ice :D

[@charliebasar9068]

@Aldrahill Just be careful, cause they updated it and last I checked Shanghai is like 7 gorillion provinces so drawing a Frontline in it is hellish.

[@FoxbatSVK]

Or the later starts (1943, June 1944, December 1944) in Darkest Hour. Especially that last one is something else. I've found a doctrine switch to be no help, and front line combat (near) impossible. I have only managed to cheese it.

[@nightspawnson-of-luna4936]

It's honestly a shame that the 39 start date is so bad... I quite like the concept of being able to start at different points... The only problem is that it clearly hasn't been touched since the game came out

[@kotwczapce1742]

i have played like once on 39 start date and it was so wierd that i never did it again

Yeah it is particularly cursed

[@chenpony4285]

Honestly, I want to recommend China National Focus, a very humorous and interesting mod (unfortunately it has stopped updating) if you want to take a break. Aldrahill, thank you for your entertaining videos, don't tire yourself out!

[@Aldrahill]

I’ll check it out :) and thank you so much!!

[@domena1007]

Small tip regarding railways. It's much faster to build every rail segment individually if you have more than 1 construction line, than building it as a whole.

[@velvet6923]

0:01 yeah that's basically all of the east, you mostly just here about central and west europe, how some countries existed and also were part of ww2 but not really how or what they did AND of course how in the last second the great heroes from the USA all on their own crushed and annihilated the undefeatable strong Nazi Army on their highest Point and saved the World

[@TheGrandeCapo]

It's hard to believe that 1939 scenario is just 1936 with different borders. Also, fortunately for you, AI is still AI.

[@Aldrahill]

Yup, the division designs and equipment setups are just AGONY

[@rogueemerald]

Might be fun to see you try some magna europa on hard difficulties or historical templates if that is even possible.

[@commandercorl1544]

@Aldrahill when receiving lend lease, be sure to either ask someone else for convoys or your lend-leasing nation for some with the modify lend-lease request. Its sort of silly how PDX hasn't made a way for the AI to see/ask how much convoys you have.

[@thelakeman2538]

Play as the nationalists in Eight Years War of Resistance, it's very fun when the Japanese AI can just ignore terrain penalties, get supply buffs and get a flat 40% attack bonus against you for like half a year while you have to work your way out of -75% attack and defense army corruption spirit, not to mention the industry debuffs. Though once the front stabilises (you get a national spirit that ups core defense and gives other buffs according to your surrender progress, alongside decisions to do the same, while Japan's buffs wear off), it's quite rewarding to reorganise and push out the Japanese.

[@Aldrahill]

YES I reallly need to play this mod! Maybe on a mild reboot of historical in a while?

[@lesk6376]

Here's an idea! Ahistorical but with historical divisions/templates! Like trying to reform the HRE as Italy with their... tanks... actually for your own mental health please ignore this comment!

[@Aldrahill]

I wanna do that! I’m worried it could just be a sort of rehash of previous videos, but with other stuff happeneing in alt hist, you know?

[@DijonSenf]

@Aldrahill go for it dude! I don't think it's a rehash if it's ahistorical, after all that kinda changes the whole game (different enemies/allies etc., different goal)
