Best Japan Opener for Hearts of Iron 4
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 15 сен 2024
- This is my favourite opener for Japan. Quick, powerful and a fast route to world conquest. You should be able to replicate it as long as nothing strange happens in Ethiopia. If you try to use it, let me know how it worked out for you.

Ah yes, the good ol' "Conquer the entire world" opening move
Very effective
Best option since o66 got patched. I would have declared on albania and took Italy and their navy otherwise.
Ngl, getting to Europe before attacking soviets just feels wild.
Opener?? Man you took half of the world 😂
All before WW2 officially kicked off in 1939.
@@shdwbnndbyyt a pity that AI in HoI4 doesn't have hidden "infamy" reactions. You took out 1 major? All others have war support bonus and can switch to war economy. 2? They can declare on you and their neighbours, they also can puppet their neighbours. 3? All remaining majors declare war on you.
Also getting puppets in peace deal without even landing in Canada, Australia and India is wild.
I just started watching an saw your comment and just laughed 😂😂
I really appreciate this "best opener" series.
Very practical, very useful.
Me playing Japan and asking myselft why im getting destroyed. (I dont know how the navy works)
Split slow ship like submarine and merge the rest probably you can add scout plane cruiser in individual fleet.
@@ferday11111 thanks mate!!
Make destroyers with torpedoes (as many as possible) and make light cruisers with a lot of light attack.
Submarines aren't really necessary, but if the enemy doesn't counter them they are free torpedo attack.
Maybe give some destroyers depths charges to counter submarines.
That is all you need to beat any navy.
If you have the industry (bit most importantly the patience) make carriers with only naval bombers (no more than 4 per battle, and any more will hurt their performance), and protect them with the heavy cruisers.
If you make carriers, either give all ships the best AA, and outfit the heavy cruisers with the best armour and just AA guns; or make the absolute crappiest destroyers and heavy cruisers to protect the carriers.
*Why does this work?*
The light cruisers with light attack will shred any screens they come in contact with. This will allow torpedoes to decimate any capital ship.
Torpedoes suck against screens, so you may want to opt for destroyers with an extra light attack battery.
Carriers are absolute beast when outfitted with naval bombers (they get a 300% damage bonus), but they will always be targeted by other airplanes (except if you make super heavy battleships, which you should not), so you must outfit them with the best AA and even the secondary dual purpose battery.
Fire control computers are your friends for extra AA and light attack.
Due to how AA is calculated, the average AA of the fleet matters somewhat, so you may want to give all screens that protect carriers the best AA.
amazing comment bro!@@tuluppampam
For me it's rather easy, even tho I try to be as historical as possible with my builds lol. I especially love Battleship or Carrier spam (yes Battleships aren't exactly profitable but idgaf, Heavy attack and armour go brrrr).
Like say for Germany I of course do submarine spam, make the waters around Great Britain "caution" so that my convoys go all the way around instead of through the English Channel. With my Submarines I give them best engine and all the torpedoes, and send them into the sea zones off the coast of Portugual, the one above that that is not the Irish Sea, and possibly if I have enough subs put some off of Morocco. This is so that I can starve the shit out of Britain of resources and civies (plus France is easy cap so don't gaf about them).
But since I'm a Battleship fan I must build my Uber German battleships, and so go hard on making Battleships with speeds of at least more than 28 knots and enough heavy guns to kill anything, ntm the best armour. Rarely do I ever make Battlecruisers.
Cruisers are easy, make a Heavy variant for the added Heavy attack and a light variant for light attack to ward off enemy destroyers. Destroyers I just give them all the AA (so DP guns) and anti-sub equipment ntm a good balance of torpedoes, at least 2 launchers.
My favorite mod for naval tho is the Naval Rework Mod which allows you to pretty much make historical ships and absolutely stupid ships too that are hilarious. (This mod is stupid fun with the industrial power that is the United States)
Make note that you want to keep Submarines separate from your main fleet/s, and your main fleet should not be your entire navy unless it is small (like the United States and Britain can have multiple large fleets vs the Germans or Italians at the start).
"We have such a huge coalition! The Belgians are pushing them back in France and we are just beginning to mobilize, we can't los-
Huh? The British capitulated? Oh.. that's it then, it's over. Guess we should surrender"
YES MY FAVORITE RUclipsR TO PLAY IN THE BACKGROUND!
yay
You can't lose a war if there is no one left to fight - Taureor Tzu 2024
"the opener" damn invades half the world
Taureor, forgets the cipher as usual
you can make naval invasions from Italian territory if you first paint empty naval invasion to italy, without Ethiopia war
These opener videos are quite fun to watch and informative too! I'd like to see a Turkey opener personally.
Holy crap dude… I found your RUclips channel earlier today and you’ve consistently blown my mind with these opening moves. Hats off to you 🪖
This reminds me of the Crazy Edde store sales (from NYC in the 1970's) "Sales so good its INSANE!!!" Except these are "strategies so good they're INSANE!!!"
here I was looking for a Taureor video to watch and a brand new one comes out!
Bro did a world conquest before the Spanish civil war ended.
I wash myself with a rag on a stick
Chat i think this is cap right here ngl
like romans
very nice opener!
more like this please
Not for me. On historical its too cheesy for my taste to rush everything down. Prefer a buildup and voluteer phase and then some WW2 atmosphere.
But what did i expect on a guide from our man Taureor 😁
IMO it is much easier to cap Allies early with Japan, than Germany. Maybe because I'm not great at naval gameplay.
Last time I was this early my girlfriend left me
💀
Regarding first option, you dont need to take Siam in order to invade Iran. Its possible going from Taiwan direct to Iran, if Benito allows you to use port in Etiopia to give naval supremacy around India.
cool idea
Great one, thank you
I was searching for a Japanese opener video and I saw that you uploaded one before 4 days. Are you inside my mind? ❤️
I'd like to see this as a full world conquest run.
O stary, dopiero jak pięknie powiedziałeś Kaszuby, kapnąłem się, że kanał prowadzi Polak haha :D
this video shows what japan ai is doing when i play china
I love this channel
All I can say is WOW!
Can you do best Poland opener?
More like "How to turn you computer into a heater by 1938" guide
thanks
Impressive.
Er nennt es "Opener" und hat am 10.05.1938 die halbe Welt unterjocht - und dann sagt er auch noch, das Deutschland noch einen besseren Opener hat. 🤣😂🤣
Jetzt bin ich aber neugierig, wie er mit Deutschland spielt. Gibt es dazu schon ein Video oder können wir das nächste Woche ansehen?
Echt ein krasses Gameplay!
Viele Grüße
Don't know if Hirohito really was all that evil tbh. He did oppose all the invasions privately, even the one on Manchuria. However given that the "allmighty god on earth" that was the emperor was nothing more than a mere figurehead to the army he couldn't really do much to stop them. A prime minister who was also against the wars was assassinated and i believe there was an attempt on Hirohitos direct family aswell. At the end of the war he was the one to break the deadlock on the issue of surrendering, after the sun was dropped on them twice.
Nice!
You can chain naval invasions to invade from military access such as Italy.
Silly as that is. 😅
I hope to be as good in Polish as you are in English
how is hirohito evil???
If you want to look your territory, just switch to logistics mode.
Nice
I thought that it’s possible to navally invade from a country you have military access to if you set a naval invasion order into that country first. Is that not the case?
U can paradrop and navally invade, just not land attack
With just military access I was unable to painthe naval invasion order from Italy
@@Taureor But you have to first set a naval invasion order from Japan to Genova and then you are able to set an order from Genova to France. After it's set you can delete the first order (from Japan to Genova) and set sail from Genova to France directly. This would save you a lot of time.
Already tested it in Japan's achievement runs.
did paradox buff soviets? playing as Germany recently i encircle soviet divisions but they keep spamming more even with full air its hard to push them, only managed to defeat them by 1950 lul
Why this dude sounds all sneaky and shit😂
For the love of god merge the navies into one stack dog
I don't know if im just really unlucky, but italy always defeats ethiopia really fast and I think its because I don't have by blood alone
You dont need to justify on Ethiopia. Improve relations with Italy and by February 1936 I was able to get military access. My game is updated and I have all the DLC.
@@wilsontheknight i cant naval invande form italian docks thats the problem and i think if you both are at war with the same guy you can use the ports of the country you have military acces in
Panama a real chad after blowing the canal for no reason
After the war. Siesta hit hard.
I'd say Japan is 4th, definitely not second.
What are your 2 and 3 then?
4m, Taueror must know its my bedtime
If you fight the war with China, during the fighting you can justify minors like Iran, Iraq, & Turkey, and when you capitulate China, the minors surrender also.
Best Polska Gurom opener soon?
Can the USA decline the Monroe doctrine?
I really hate the way this guy plays, but god damn his voice
What do you hate exactly? Thanks anyway!
Britain has the best opener
How in the hell did you drag mexico etc.. to join allies without USA...
1. be at war with a faction they can join. 2. attack. 3. they join. 4. monroe doctrine - back down. 5. white peace with them while still at war with the faction. 6. faction calls them back in. I am not attacking them this time, so monroe does not trigger again.
@@Taureor Thank you sir!
Great vid but nearly turned off because of the 100kms a hour word soap
Some people say I talk too slow :) try setting speed to 0,75
This feels a bit dumb and on the verge of just abusing exploits, what's a more "intentional" path for Japan that's a good opener?
Historical opener (spend years fighting in China for small gains). It can be good for grinding generals though. If you want to do this try using the Aichi (range, unlocked in focus tree) Mio with CAS. It will make the war easy.
Go for USA by justifying against Mexico and invade using your longest range carriers (I had a longer reply earlier that somehow got deleted, if this one goes too I'll give up on this 'tip')
FINNISH YOUR JAPAN PUPPETER VIDEO
Cant naval invade France from Italian soil. What have I missed?
military access, both at war with Ethiopia?
@@Taureor Yes. Do I maybe need naval dockroghts, explicitly?
no, military access should suffice. try waiting a month or so, this should be working, mabe the game needs to recalculate stuff. Some changes only come into effect once a moth or so. Also did Ethiopia capitulate yet?
@@Taureor waiting for a month helped
What mods are u using?
I just watch his videos. You can’t really learn how to do anything or follow him closely because he talks and makes moves SO FAST!
set speed to 0,75!
@@Taureor I didn’t know that was even possible….thanks
doesn't historical Chinese pick a fight with japan anyway so you cant leave them too long?
I think it's just provocations and you get wargoals
August brown , diwerk golp nirk slizke any mokkearqu voisauire pokkerwar
32:38 How is that slow?
You could alternatively puppet France but leave one single state unpupetted. This will leave the original France as an independent rump state and generate a new France as your puppet. Germany will only get a war goal on the original France and your France will be left alone.
Interesting idea
Thanks for this
basically make a France in Alsace-Lorraine
@@Smougda I was going to say that sounded like a great use for the Maginot Line, yea. (Make it so the Germans simply can't just walk around it.)
:)
