It's amazing how lucky Germany was in early war, had the Allies (unrealistically) just forced war coordination on the Benelux and in their own countries just a bit earlier on the decade the Germans would had ran out of ammunition, tanks and supplies as early as May 1940 trying to Schlieffen Plan 2
Fun fact for France, if you release Algeirs at the beginning of the game as a puppet it will do the generic focus tree and get you extra industry and with blum violette proposal text gets added if they're a puppet to reannex them :)
@HonzaHrajeHodně so in the France focus tree there is a focus called Blum violette proposal. In a typical game alot of people don't release Algeirs so the focus description just says core all Algerian states. If you release them as a puppet as France your focus changes to add the text annex and core Algeirs :)
@HonzaHrajeHodně it is a nice way to get some additional free industry as the Algerian puppet will do the generic focus tree so you may end up with more mils/civs/dockyards maybe even some infrastructure :)
@@HonzaHrajeHodně I just tried that an once I annexed Algiers back via blum proposal all the factories from the focus treee disappeared ... anybody else experienced this?
@@TheRabadish There was a plan for a German 1000 ton tank called the Ratte.(least high german engineer) during World War 2. In the next hoi4 dlc it will be avalible to make as a special project
9:59 longer the videos with less edits the better. I love watching the build up in hoi4 . Maybe your audience doesn't like long videos. But I love long videos 👍💯
When you said you had a secret goal that you weren't sharing with us on why you aren't joining a faction, I knew immediately that you were forming the EU. I feel proud of myself
Fun fact: Ataturk once said "Hatay is my personal matter" but never got to see Hatay joining Turkey borders since he passed away in 1938 and Hatay joined Turkey in 1939 irl, so in this timeline you made Ataturk very happy
As soon as the new DLC comes out, Luxembourg, Ratte (Land Cruiser) only, BICE, world conquest, no nukes. Without joining a faction. That sure sounds fun. 🗿
fun fact , light tanks are the most effective garrison division , they tie more or less with armored cars but tanks got advantage of losing much less menpower with easy meitenance or any production buffs from MIO , light tanks are best garrisons im not sure if paradox updated it but i done tests of germany anexing france , by console , give myself lots equipment and compare loses after entire year. and tank division looked best , they also use the least amount of menpower too i believe
it is always a great day when chaotic florius uploads. i love this video b/c its so high quality. btw what music do you use for your videos theyre so interesting
18:22 Yeah I was wondering if you would see this when you called the focus useless earlier on. I thought the same thing. But, in classic French fashion, "Somehow, Political Violence returned".
I was playing as Czechoslovakia and I was in the allies fighting the cominterm and the allies were also somehow at war with the US, anyways basically Soviets capitulate, Finland becomes faction leader, Chile assumes faction leadership making the cominterm a democratic faction that the USA can join, which they proceeded to do
just so you know for future France games if you release Algeria at the start of the game as a puppet, the blum-violette proposal annexes and cores them so if you release them at the start of the game they can improve the infrastructure, civ, mil and dockyards counts for free
I'd like to see this challenge again once Landcruisers are out (Or go to an older update and use Superheavy Tanks) Nothing speaks moving fort like a 1,000 ton tank
Fact 1: By creating a garrison light tank, you can make it VERY cheap. I would argue it's superior garrison due to increase in suppression and decrease in losses. Especially so with better garrison practices. Fact 2: Steal a page from MP meta and do 4 clicks of armor and spam the shit out of a cheap med tank, where you can keep cost down and get great breakthrough with balancing other stats.
@@chaoticflorius (just a clarification on 2: 5th click gives you an additional steel cost, so such a strategy lets you build tanks while not being a major steel country)
You could have released Algeria as a puppet, they will have their own focus tree and you'll annex them later when you do the Blum Viollette proposal focus Ban the leagues is a useful focus, it prevents a civil war if your stability is under 30% (so it is useful if you want to send volunteers in Spain) and also strikes during the war
I also wanted to suggest smth, ive seen people using flame tanks as support companies, and they give HUGE bonuses to certain trains, maybe you can try that?
Actually the rearmement event is quite rare. (I have played France hundreds of time - yes I'm French, how do you know ?) It's quite surprising you got it so often.
Never annex Italy, later in the game you will get an event to let you choose to set it free or go to war with it. Choose the war option, and then you will not have the annoying Italian divisions problems. Greetings from Argentina and Taiwan ❤
Impossible challenge: Do heavy tanks only with Mengkouko and conquer SU without being in a faction or a puppet with Japan (so you have to cheat to be free)
First!
Nooo😊
60 seconds in.
🤨 are you a time traveller?
It says 1h hour ago and the video has almost 15 mins
:(
18 mins :)
Fun fact: At the start of the war French tanks were superior to German ones in terms of quality, but they were heavily misused.
They also lacked radio's, which hindered their coordination massively
💀
That explains the 0 org tank template
As an french you say true, our hight command was on the ww1 mindset. Sadly...

+25% Max planning is actually a insane buff, even without GBP it's still essentially a +25% attack modifier if you actually use planning
Yeah. It allows you to make the initial breakthrough.
Florious: I won't join any fractions
Chile: I'm about to end this men's challenge

the fact that he does tanks as garrisons in these videos is so unhinged
Its always fun 😂💀
This video can be detailed with 1 word. POGGERS
You can split t your industry one half on the old tank and the other half on the new tank. In that way you keep your production efficiency.
Florius we appreciate your suffering
🥹 thanks
No more surrender🏳

Day 6 of convincing Florius to do a Worldcounqest as Communist hawaii in hoi4

it is always a great day when chaotic florius uploads. i love this video b/c its so high quality. btw what music do you use for your videos theyre so interesting
Thanks mate. I use Epidemic Sounds for my music
@@chaoticflorius is it alright if you can give the specific names of the song? tysm
Reform the labor laws has also a second side effect. You don't go into a massive strike that create a -90% of factory and dockyards output.
12:10 your pronunciation of "Charles de Gaulle" is pretty good ngl
Yes! I was surprised too!
“Happy to be french”
Everyone hated that
😂
Glorious Florious video. BTW Russia game went great. Did Romanovs' achievement with space marines and kosmo horses😂
Happy to hear that 😎🫡
i didnt know the focus tree had that part lol
Yeah, hahaha

tip for CAS: instead of normal bomblocks use only heavy bomblocks, its a lot better
I'll check it out!
Based Florius showing french superiority and uniting the EU as a french empire
I was playing as Czechoslovakia and I was in the allies fighting the cominterm and the allies were also somehow at war with the US, anyways basically Soviets capitulate, Finland becomes faction leader, Chile assumes faction leadership making the cominterm a democratic faction that the USA can join, which they proceeded to do
Bruh 💀 peak HOI4
i think you can use armoured cars, which have hardness but are also good for garrisons
Makes sense. I just use Tanks always, cause they feel like a grey area.
Tank only Iceland!
just so you know for future France games if you release Algeria at the start of the game as a puppet, the blum-violette proposal annexes and cores them so if you release them at the start of the game they can improve the infrastructure, civ, mil and dockyards counts for free

Its fun!
since you have to stay democratic you could have went to the alternative democratic path of france
Can anyone else see a dog’s face on the map of France at 2:57??!? 😂
Yeah lol
Looks like a panda with how the eye patches drop down
Francr pulled the uno reverse card with this one

Another Fun fact for france: If you have the matignon agreements, you can revoke them jan 2 1938
When are Paradox gonna add an event that makes the UK join the EU and then leave 10 years later? Do they even like memes?

Seems horrible with France 😂
Scary fact number 1: there is a France

You could have released Algeria as a puppet, they will have their own focus tree and you'll annex them later when you do the Blum Viollette proposal focus
Ban the leagues is a useful focus, it prevents a civil war if your stability is under 30% (so it is useful if you want to send volunteers in Spain) and also strikes during the war
New challenge idea, AA Tank only or div needs majority AA tank instead of normal tanks
If you try to controll everything with one Division, then I have seen everything haha.
🥲
Ice Spice mentioned at 0:06
🗿
by the way if you saved the tank and motorized division at the beggining you could convert them back
I also wanted to suggest smth,
ive seen people using flame tanks as support companies, and they give HUGE bonuses to certain trains, maybe you can try that?
Next is: Tank only LIBERIA
Actually the rearmement event is quite rare. (I have played France hundreds of time - yes I'm French, how do you know ?) It's quite surprising you got it so often.

One trick to block Italy from invading Algeria is to release Tunisia as a puppet and not involve Tunisia.

What are your computer specs for the game to be running that fast?
Nice, now do the same with heavy tanks.
but why not armored cars or garrisons? That counts as a tank right?
