[@robertalaverdov8147]

The 50 army XP you can save from the -5% reduction to doctrine was wasted by building your division without any discount. You can just pick motorization effort from mobile warfare and get a 100% XP discount on all tank and motorized battalions. Basically saving you 80-100 XP.

[@arneeidefjeldsgard1863]

And if you switch doctrines after that, it will switch the discount to the appropriate one for the doctrine. So if you start with superior firepower, select the discount you can build out your infantry, then selecting the mobile, it switches you automatically to motor drive discount. So if planning on making expensive divisions it suddenly lt becomes wery cheap. Definetly OP if done correctly :)

In the tank designer there's an "auto-upgrade" checkbox. If you tick it on your design you will get a new design based on it for free every time you research a better chassis or module of the same type, e.g. basic medium chassis to improved medium chassis, or radio 1 to radio 2. This can save you quite a bit of XP.

[@FeedbackGaming]

Just discovered the free chassis upgrade. Game changer

[@homefront1999]

Even though Paradox marked NSB's main gimmick being the tank designer. I got to say that I think the XP and Land-Doctrine research has got be the best thing added in any DLC. Think about it. XP has always been there. XP only being important to create a new template or upgrade ships,tanks, and planes. Now there is a whole new important reason. Compare this to the Spy system, where you can easily play a game without investing into spies and it would run almost the same. Only issue though, for a nation like Russia. It tends to struggle to get it's land doctrines. Especially if you go through a civil war.

[@AHappyCub]

My only problem with it is how slow it is to get especially from training, but yeah, its honestly one of the best thing from NSB

[@ComanderSev]

wouldnt it be easier to get doctrines if you get exp from a civil war?

[@Sorter43]

To be fair, it is currently the only nation to be balanced around this new system.

Spies give you intel which is important in battles, other than that they aren’t super worth it I agree.

[@jackthemapper]

I still think cheaping out on the gun is a really bad idea for tanks. With a small cannon you save what? Sure the gun itself is cost efficient, but you also have to pay for the tank you put it in, so you have to compare total tank costs instead of gun costs only. The cheap tank costs 6 instead of 9 production, but compared to a close support gun only has 15 vs 25 soft attack? In this example you can either have 80 combat width worth of expensive tanks with a total of 1000 soft attack or 120 combat width worth of cheap tanks with 900 total soft attack. Sure the cheap tanks have more total hp and are easier to replace but tanks were never be meant to be cost efficient but to fit the most firepower into the smallest possible combat width to locally overwhelm the enemy. Its a totally different story with support tanks for infantry divisions (e.g. flame tanks), but for deadicated breakthrough divisions cheap guns are not at all the meta. Also the howitzers are now insane, 35 and then 45 soft attack for a 2-width tank brigade is almost double of what artillery gets per combat width. Against AI I find hard attack useless as soft attack can easily kill even enemy tank divisions if you are the attacker.

[@FeedbackGaming]

My first priority is breakthough and armour. Then I focus on soft attack. Saying that I do think soft attack is important for tanks

[@zacharytaylor2423]

Your tanks got really expensive at the end because armor costs are multiplicative. It would be a *lot* more cost effective if you took some armor off the tanks, replaced one of your 12 tank battalions with a small-gunned TD, and maxed out the TD's armor instead. Remember that division armor is 30% max armor of a single battalion, 70% the actual average of the division.

[@ScamallDorcha]

15:30 you simply ship the desk to him on the front lines so he can do his desk job while leading the army at the same time.

4:41 And you would be correct! The Double L in Spanish is pronounced as a “ye” sound. So it would be pronounced “Cayes” and “General Caudiyo”

Making generals advisors makes them upgradable through leveling, every 2 levels starting at level 4

[@saddleg00se77]

I’ve been playing a lot of Mexico games recently; like, an unhealthy amount. What I’ve found as a good focus tree strategy is to alternate between Cedillo focuses and whichever direction you really wanna go (Nationalized Oil, Catholicism/Fascism/Communism). As long as Cedillo tensions are moderate or lower, he doesn’t really cause much harm to economic or military growth, it’s just a stability modifier. The tension increases also run on a 150ish day timer, so you can do anywhere from 1-3 focuses before choosing another Cedillo-related focus. I like going down the “March Southward” route for the cores on Central America, so I try to speed down one of the two trees as quick as possible before the major powers start getting involved; if I try to take care of Cedillo first and foremost, I find that I lose a lot of time. I was shocked, however, to find out about supporting the Spanish Left for all that experience. I’ll have to try it on my next play through.

[@FeedbackGaming]

Rushing the wars and coring is the best way to grow

[@edgarorube3641]

I've been trying to play as Catholic Communist Mexico Recently. That shit hit different. You don't really have to worry about the civil wars at all (and sure they are easy to cheese but man power can be an issue for mexico early on), -10% consumer goods with union boss + catholic bonuses, and if you get real lucky (and are playing ahistorical) you can get twise the XP from spain by supporting both the republicans and the the Anarcho-communists. It feels good man.

[@JD-kl8hz]

I always start my doctrines as GBP, bonus for countries that start as this, and use the theater training spirit to get myself an officer with Brilliant Strategist and Inflexible Strategist if they don't have one. Then switch to whatever I want to run usually SFP or MW. This works well on Mexico since you get so much "free" xp. Sometimes you get lucky and get the strategist trait plus something else that's useful like commando(I use SF troops a lot so the commando desk job is a nice boost). Japan and China are really the easiest countries to cheese the desk jobs with since they start fighting so early and you can farm it out as long as you want and keep grinding those generals.
