@@Kattalanonyt Microing is actually pretty difficult under certain circumstances. Microing in THIS playthrough seemed especially difficult since he played with a Germany that had less than 50 factories, was 19% away from capping, and only had 110 divisions.
@@ТимурИсмагилов-х5з I agree it is annoying, especially if you play as a major like the USSR because frontlines can suck and the AI goes crazy burning causalities.
Imagine being a German paratrooper in 1939. It looks like the war is going to be over before it even starts properly. And then some guy you haven’t seen before takes away your parachute and gives you more guns and says “Congratulations! You’re now an infantry unit!”
I think there’s a reason we don’t watch people who do nothing but wine in every single video. It’s pretty sad to play games for a living and not try to enjoy it.
I think that overall most disaster saves aren't too difficult, usually you can leave one side on the defensive and attack on the other and the AI doesn't have the intelligence to spearhead an attack on a weak point as opposed to just attacking the whole front then losing org, then it just becomes a victory lap going around nations and capping them which is entertaining sure but still pretty easy
Yeah it's a shame the AI isn't a little bit better tbh. Would make the game a lot more interesting after the first couple play throughs once you get the hang of it
Germany is just ridiculusly powerful. The other day I had lenghty war with them, in 1945 they had about 20 mil casualties and still were able to push me a bit out of France.
had a game as communist china where germany in 1946/1947 had around 30k fighters.. if it wasnt for the "Sun Tzu Reborn" achievement, I wouldn't have bothered with germany but.. you gotta do what you gotta do *shrug*
Because this really isn’t a terribly hard disaster save, the only reason why it got this bad is because of harsh restrictions that bittersteel decided not to follow and he really only had weak enemies in mainland Europe
CHALLENGE: As Trotskyist Russia defeat the axis, here's the twist. Your units will be 1 infantry and one support artillery. Your only grace is you have complete control of your air design, your shock troops of which you will have only 5, are 30 width motorized of your choosing. Say hello to 1000 infantry divisions!! Crashed my game after completing the Civil War and converting my units carried over from the Civil War..
I think it'd be interesting and fun if you tried uniting China in Kaiserreich but with a twist! You have do it as the Kumul Khanate (that little country in Xinjiang) and do the Ma Zhongying path
I don't think anyone will see this but there is a better way to naval invade the British. Instead of using any German ports you use the Dutch one at the top of Netherlands (Leeuwarden) because for some reason the game will think the only sea you need to control is the North sea this will allow to focus your navy solely in the North Sea tiles. Hope this helps you or anyone who sees this.
Hi Bitt3r! I know that making these videos cost you a lot of time to make and a lot of effort. I was wondering, have you considered using the medal feature to promote the members' troops? Or just showing off those member troops who earned the most medal during the campaigns? I think it would be pretty awesome, don't you think? Only if it's not too much of a hassle ofc.
Oh btw, since you complained releasing Ukraine messed up your frontlines, sometimes when frontlines are split like that (due to releasing puppets), if you drag the two frontline starting points back together, they should join back into one single frontline order.
Hey Bitter, I was wondering if you could do a confederate states of America guide with some achievements thrown in there. I know you’ve done one before but maybe an updated one since all the DLC’s? Thanks man and keep up the good work!
I have no patience for this game. So this fascinates me. Every time USA joins before I can knock out the UK I just abandon this game for like half a year and go do something else.
I mean I just went with Germany. And accidentally went to war against allies. Yes. Accidentally. Having *everything* on my eastern border. And as I have started to do Auschluss etc at speed, I had a *lot* of under-equipped forces. France got over Reims before I even noticed. Yeah, I got them pretty fast. Now I'm in US, ruling over much of the world even before molotov-ribbentrop. Need to get USA and I try to do that before war with the soviets... currently I can handle 48 divisions from scratch fully equipped by the time the training goes through, so I dunno. Might be interesting eh :D
There's no point to listing any of these when he himself caught on and corrected his blunder afterwards. He beat you lot to it. Only flamers with axes to grind will continue to harp on about said blunders after that.
@@gengarzilla1685 woah, i was just making a little fun comment, I did not mean to say that Bittersteel is dumb or anything, he is one of my fav youtubers, I hope u understand i am not hater or anything lol
Just an Idea @Bittersteel: But what if you could ask the Modder to rename the "Crack Unit" Unit Names, as far as I know every nation has the "Crack Unit" Name Template, and they could be overwritten with a "Language" Mod (Just an Idea, hope this helps)
When he said count cristo sent this I was like, how tf can bittersteel salvage a game that count cristo couldn't. i'm not saying that bittersteel id a bad player, he's in fact an amazing player but, I dont think he could beat the guy who beated endieg and raganrok in a singleplayer game. Then it made sense.
@Count Cristo I mean I don't watch your content that much, but I did partialy watch your endsieg and ragnarok and I have enough of an understanding of the hoi4 mechanics to know how absurd those chalanges are (one less than the other of course). Even if you aren't on your prime you are def a realy good player at least sp. I won't comment mp since I never saw you play.
Whoever reads this please try to help me, it turns out that I bought today i4 from Amazon, I installed it but I have a problem and it is that I only have 8 countries with personalized focus tree and I don't know how to have, for example, Hungary, Austria, Yugoslavia with focus tree also if i play as germany i only have anchuluss i have his focus tree without oppose hitler

I mean anyone with micro skill could do whata he did. Endsieg mod in 1945 is harder than this but it's still easily beatable because the AI is trash.
Noticed it was 39 at the beginning, why I’m thinking the dude probably just let it get like that then sent it to bitter hoping it would get played

Just today i played Germany for a long time in months and got a collab on US and got 900 factories by 1940
How did he... just... how did he manage to save this...
He did it so fast relatively as well like what!?
Genius
It's because Germany is super strong in 1939 this guy restricted himself too much without knowing how to do his restrictions effectively.
Because this really isn’t a terribly hard disaster save, the only reason why it got this bad is because of harsh restrictions that bittersteel decided not to follow and he really only had weak enemies in mainland Europe
大部分的工廠都還在，士兵的人數足夠
接下來的區域都是核心區域，很好防禦，而且戰爭初期只有基本部隊

And somehow he still caps France earlier than in real life
