Watching him hunt the Hood was one of the most fun things he has done. Extreme hide and seei with the british navy

[@PhilipTrouble]

And the British just throw Warspite, Nelson and Repulse at the Germans knowing they don’t care about those

[@F1HunterJAN1]

Yea watching it is fun, executing it yourself is a bit of a pain. Ultimate cheeze: Cap the british, at the peace conference leave them their fleet and ONLY northern england. Then declare on them again, there is only 1 port where the Hood can hide...

[@OnlyGrafting]

​@@F1HunterJAN1I remember getting this as the Netherlands on accident. Thing is I didn't fight them at all naval wise I just invaded their mainland with cheese and annexed with the old no navy steal conference style

Some achievements are easier in non hist. For example, Ethiopian ones become much less painful if the UK decolonizes. Then again, I managed to get the Lion king one while fighting against Allied UK, Nazi Germany, and Third Rome Russia. #nukes for days

3:56 Going by the game program files, yep, it is weighted depending on your size army, the AI chance on the decisions starts on both at 50, but depending on your strength it could go from 50% to 66% to 83% to then the 100% Btw, if you are planning on doing the funny holy roman empire, either delete your units before asking for the kaiser or you can just keep trying to load the save before the focus complete

Btw if anyone wants the "why die for danzig" all you have to do is get max collaboration on France, then once you capitulate them set up the collab government and for some reason the game will still give you the achievement.

[@Kaynster]

I got that achievement by complete accident. Britain and france went fascist and poland just gave up danzig. it is to this day, the only achievement i’ve ever gotten.

[@bruhmoment3478]

I literally did a normal Germany run trying to get the true blitzkrieg achievement (or whatever it's called) and got the why die for Danzig achievement when I did Vichy.

The hunt for the Hood was just glorious! Btw 'Shaken, not stirred' doesn't fire in the current version, because PDX... You have to roll back the game version to get it. Also your first coup was perfectly fine and would have gotten you the achievement, you just didin't have Danzig at that point :-)

[@Groxcima]

I like the idea that the entire German military is dedicated to hunting down a single battlecruiser because it has a funny crown on it and a gold outline

In case anyone doesn’t know, you can go into your save files for hoi4, copy/paste the save file in a different folder, and you can use that as a “checkpoint” that you can copy/paste back into the hoi4 save files if you don’t want to do a full game restart on something. It doesn’t affect achievements and I’ve used it a few times, mostly in eu4 and ck2/ck3, but it can be useful in hoi as well

I played historic Germany and went for through the normal world war and at the end after taking out the united kingdom and then France. I puppet them both and took Danzig and I got the achievement after the peace deal. I don't know if it glitched out but that's how I got it. By the way love the videos.

[@UnusualSocks]

If you have more than one PC, a video where you control the entire Axis (playing Germany, Italy, and Japan simultaneously in the same game, like a multiplayer game where it's just you) would be unique and pretty chaotic. Managing seven fronts at once, keeping track of all those focuses and research, and being able to seamlessly integrate the production and balance of military forces of each into one superpower would be awesome to see. It also sounds like a frustrating ball ache, so right up your alley, ISP!!!

[@bedrockpatron9599]

What do you mean by "He comes with the mustache"? The mustache comes with him

[@omegawonton8749]

a much easier way to get the why die for danzig achievement is to play like normal but get a full collab on france. You just invade poland and france like normal but as soon as france capitulates you have an option to establish a collaboration government in france, which qualifies for the achievement.

[@a_4_year_old411]

I remember when I sank the hood. Built a straight up better nave with the Bismarck in it, and patrolled the seas around Britain. Caught it in a storm, so the British carriers couldn't do anything, and the Super Heavy Battleship Bismarck took them all out. Beautiful.

[@ATF-]

The pronunciation of Hood in this video was egregious. “Oi wees on da hud innit”

You having a hard time finding and destroying the HMS Hood is funny to me because I accidentally sunk the hood with some shitty naval bombers as Sweden-unified Scandinavia back in like 2021, because it was out on patrol in the North Sea for some unknown reason.

[@user-ee9yy3yo8h]

Got "why die for danzig" achievment 3 days ago in a really wierd/bugged way. In 1936 I took Netherlands, then immideatly justified on Brittish Malaya, going at war with UK early. did a Sealion, then waited in Scotland before taking Checzoslovakia. Unfortunately, Czechs refused giving me Sudetland and joined Allies. Then Poland also refused after "Danzig or war". I did no focuses that give you wargoals on Benelux and France, but France joined Allies anyways through event. So I took Paris, established Vichy France, finally took Glazgo (which made UK capitulate), proceeded peace conference and got an achievement. Why the hell establishing Vichy triggered this achievment - idk, but now I have it, LOL. Maybe it only checks for wargoals, because i did not had war goal on France, I have no idea, was really confused

[@eleanorgreywolfe5142]

I got the Why Die for Danzig achievement because of a bug, i was doing a normal German run and puppeted France and this apparently unlocked the achievement despite me having been at war with them.

[@hypercynic]

To get their Pride of the Fleet sunk, can't you just cap the Brits, leave one territory and only that one boat for them, and then just use their entire fleet to destroy its one single boat? I feel like that would be considerably easier than chasing it around the world haha
