[@MrNicoJac]

8:11 There *is* a way to make sure garrisons use *only* outdated equipment. In the Division Designer, at the top in the middle, there's a button called Equipment. Click that, and you can set what stuffs that division uses. If you remove all the check marks from all the rifles types except for the 1918 basic rifle, AND un-check the "use new equipment" at the top, you can guarantee that they only use old guns. The one problem with this is that they'll also ignore any rifles that you get from encircling enemy divisions or capitulating enemy countries.... You could solve this by babysitting/adjusting the template every year or so, but that quickly becomes more work than it saves you :/

[@andresmartinezramos7513]

Intractable French resistance and docile Soviet subjects, totally "historically accurate", Paradox

[@nikbond188]

To be honest, because the DLC focused on France and Iberia it makes sence that for now the French resistance >>> Soviet. I think once they get around fixing USSR you probably will get partisans and other event surrounding the invasion of the USSR

[@douglasmacarthur702]

You completely missed the point. The Soviet subjects become docile only once there’s been a peace conference. They are intractable as long as the USSR hasn’t capitulated.

Ah yes the famous soviet government in exile Is it historically accurate no but then again is there being a single group of united soviet partisans is also not accurate It should have been Ukrainian Belarusian and standard Russian sprinkled around.

[@Brian_i]

8:18 actually there is a way. If you go into the template there is an equipment option, in the top right corner, if you click on it, it shows a list of equipment with checkmark's next to it. This way you can stop certain equipment from going into divisions.

[@juancarlone]

The thing i like about your channel and your videos is the scientific method you use to calibrate and analyse everything from games. Thank u

[@Phillip_of_Burns]

I tried playing without the paid DLC, and couldn't keep the revolts down. If you buy the DLC, then you get the cars that suppress revolts.

[@MrNicoJac]

I got a mod that completely nixes resistance. Problem solved too... lol

[@GugSport]

@@MrNicoJac alternatively, you could get a mod that gives you armored cars without the DLC, if you think it's broken without it ¯\_ (ツ)_/¯

[@leventedeli3701]

You could just use templates with lots of cavalry and military police

[@arvidpersson9668]

I have the DLC but still have not used the cars, cavalry and military police are enough.

[@garrettjohnson343]

use light SPAA they have lower production cost and higher armor

[@fbiannis9514]

Hey Remen, awesome to see your return. Can you possibly do a video on the 'new' navy system? Since it has changed quite significantly since your BB-only fleet video 😁

[@Septimus_ii]

This is really useful. It was especially interesting to see how long it takes for civilian oversight to pay back its cost, especially compared to liberated workers, and to see the value of armoured cars - they might be a lot more expensive than cavalry up front, but equipment losses aren't much higher (assuming you don't have spare guns) and manpower losses are far lower

[@FalkenThunder]

Thank god i have been lost without your guidance

[@Linkingx2]

so civil oversight is generally the best, besides some aspects. And compliance and collaboaration, cc equals gg, if you do it correctly. Thanks for the video, was quite insightfull.

[@g.zoltan]

So the tradition continues. Adding a game mechanic that screws everything over unless you buy the new DLC.

[@darthmaul8912]

Yes!!! He is back. Finally some high quality "tutorial" for those who want to know everything about HoI4 and did read the wiki and forum over and over.^^ Got a question though: Why do you state that the manpower of your division has any effect on manpower casulties? 1.8% of 2000 soldiers (=36) is less than 1.8% of 1000 soldiers (=18) but you need only half that division for the some suppression. So 0.5x1.8% of 2000 soldiers (=18). Also there is a way to forbit your divisions to use anything else than the crapiest equipment. So you can equip our garrisons with interwar stuff only. So I don't really know what you meant by that.

[@remansparadox8604]

What really matters for divisions is the suppression:manpower ratio. For example, cav has 2 suppression per battalion of 1000 men, whereas armored cars have 2.5 suppression per battalion of 500 men. If a state needed 5 suppression, it would need 2.5 cav battalions (2500 men) OR 2 armored car battalions (1000 men). Since garrison casualties are predicated on the total amount of manpower in the garrison, armored cars would only take 40% of the casualties compared to cav if the hardness of divisions was not relevant. Forbidding equipment doesn't work for garrison templates =(

[@MrSimythe]

Wait...why does the equipment selection in the Division Designer not work for garrison divisions?

[@darthmaul8912]

@@remansparadox8604 Free Update 1.10.6 "Collie": *You can now control the equipment of garrison templates like with other templates* Guess they figured it out. Finally 1918 equipment for garrisons.^^

[@bart413]

[@buns2530]

YOOO HE'S COME TO BLESS US AGAIN

[@1Maklak]

In some mods, there is research to give all battalions suppression bonus or just one special battalion with suppression bonus. The thing is, it adds up throughout the template and "+10 Suppression to front-line battalions" means +250% suppression for the whole template when there are 25 of them, not counting the bonus from MP.
