HORSE ONLY China Is BRUTALLY Strong (NO JOKE)

[@argentum1392]

If youre looking for ideas, the special forces doctrines make mountaineer focused greece brutally strong. Up to +60% attack bonus in mountains.

[@FeedbackGaming]

The new support companies for special forces are all OP

[@JDothan]

60% attack bonus in mountains… barely covers the 50% debuff. Yes it’s great but you still don’t want to be attacking into mountains if you can avoid it

[@TheArklyte]

This is why it's important for Axis to have a good Japan player(with coops on all puppets and Siam). Because when India and China suddenly show up in Europe both with full 7/30 armies of infantry with artillery in 1943, it's not very "sportsmanlike".

[@MotzKotz3]

Wtf does 7/30 even mean? 7 infantry and thirty artillery

[@TheArklyte]

@MotzKotz3 quantity of divisions. 7 armies of 30 divisions ie 210 divisions. In comparison to normal 5/24 ie 120 divisions. That needs 1 fiel marshall and 7 generals with skilled staffer. So you level up 8 guys while overloading them with 30 divs.

[@RobsRedHotSpot]

Spies only make an impact on planning bonus if they are in the region where the fighting is taking place. So a spy on the Maginot line affects entrenchment, planning in those tiles. I feel like Paradox only lets you put spies in developed areas. You can't just wander around the desert or the forest "spying", but you can get a lot of information in a town or city as to army locations, etc.

[@ArcaneCannonChey]

Love ya dave, keep up the good work. Also if you go down the navy special forces path for the pioneers you loose the entrenchment but gain huge attack bonuses for amphibious terrains. This won't out right remove the penalty but with the adaptable trait for generals combined you can get really close. Also pioneers make excellent support companies for coast guards. If I have the the surplus production I add a single line artillery making the coast guard nigh unbreakable even with an excess of marines with amtracks.

Feedback, this is not an insult or anything. But you did a massive error at 1:25:43 What mistake, you'll ask. And the mistake is adding the medium tank flame company. That basically, its not a bad thing, but since the speed of the tank was 4km/h, you downgraded the speed of the WHOLE cavalry division from 6,2km/h to 4km/h. Basically removing the overall good thing about cavalry, that is the speed.
