Can the new Finland still stand against the Soviet Union? Can we still get Finnish Him?

Oh my, this starting screen is GORGEOUS, i personally prefer more dark, gritty images in HOI4 considering the fact that WW2 was awful thing and this one is just perfect.
Bro got exiled to saint petersburg💀💀
I completely agree.
Yeah but a main screen art of a coastal battery... Which doesn't exist in the game :(
@@Iymarracoastal forts?
I wonder if its Norway and the sinking of the blucher.
I think the best starting screen was NSB's. Perfectly captured everything the DLC was about.
That's true but in terms of aesthetics I really like this one
Gotta go with Waking the Tiger or Death or Dishonor for me
La Resistance is also quite good.
Battle of Bosporus is definitely the most disappointing. Main focus is some dude having a dinner while Konstantinopole is just the backdrop? Sad.
@@Nerazmus La Resistance had so many references to 'Allo 'Allo it will always be my fave.
@@Nerazmus The ship itself is a Turkish ship, so the Turks are navally invading themselves thus causing the man to spill his cup of tea.
As a person from Finland i am really happy that Finland finaly got a focus tree
Ja hyvähän siitä tulikin.

This seems like it's going to be one of paradox's genuinely good hoi4 DLC releases
(definitely not just because Sweden is in this one)
@@marrowkaiproductions7053ngl I played Sweden more often than any other country due to how fun it is operating from Scandinavia
That's not saying much considering the only HoI4 expansions that have at _least_ a mostly positive rating on Steam is No Step Back and Waking the Tiger.
I still think its a straight up shitty cashgrab to not have finland in the soviet DLC. Because of the winter war both should definitiv be in the same DLC, especially when you lock mechanics behind a paywall..

It was funny to hear you explain your plans against the Soviets, it was essentially a reversal of their actual plans against Finland in the actual war. I can't wait for the dlc, it's gonna be great.

The DLC is cool and all, but the fact that they made the game run smoother is what i'm truly hyped for
It's sooooo smooth
I hope this will also fix the desyncing issues in multiplayer. After 1942, with war in low supply areas going on, the game becomes pretty much unplayable.
Recon giving a bonus to artillery damage makes so much sense, the recon troops can spot the enemy and then radio in their location to the artillery forces.

Hey, the so called "communist tree" is also the democratic tree with the social-democratic path, so you may want to play this one!
sounds like communist propaganda to me
"Social democratic" is communist, just demo version. It quickly devolves into communist distopia
no
In hoi4 Playing Democratic is almost always a more boring version of the non-aligned path
Same things.
I'm much more excited for the designer changes as it allows for different plays and gives them a bigger feel than select and forgetting or just forgetting them like I always do lol.
Oh my that was one of your best videos ever! I was so glad on how much you enjoyed this run! And what a run it was, so impressive! Too bad i wasnt in the spearhead as a member 😢. Im curious for the Nordic council focus tree too! Also 2 videos in less then a week, you're spoiling us!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Sweden joined the Co-Prosperity Sphere specifically to annoy you because they didn’t like not being given Northern Norway.
i was hyped when i heard my country gets a new focus tree [ i'm Finnish :) ]
Same here actually, much love from Sweden!
You guys are so lucky you cant even imagine
Yoo, i honestly think your country is very cool, and look that i'm in a country next to the equator!(Brazil)
Hopefully my region is next. We're the main target of Japan during the Pacific War after all.
@@krasnamerah1926Let me guess. Indonesia?
Excellent video! I've barely touched Finland myself (will be sure to check out the Red path myself) so I've been busy taking notes here 🙂
You should absolutely try iy
Wow. That seems more intense and yet still easier than the original FInnish Him. I guess it's because you can be so more aggressive than before. Great vid!
I love that they added new rank of cities which will tell you which cities are somewhat significant. The small ones are gonna be like just random towns.
Love the video. Could you make a few ingame demonstrations of the new features, especially the new arms market, MI concerns and Consumer goods rework when you have a better feel for it?
That arms market seems like a godsend for smaller nations who can turn endless crappy guns into Civs. I’m thinking Mozambique with their Ak-47 on their flag.
I would have like to see an Icelandic focus tree, like the AOI or the sultanat of aussa
There isn't one? Sad. I was almost sure there would be one
@@aidenbooksmith2351 I don't know, but nobody talked about it so I don't think there is
@@bigle114 There is an Icelandic focus tree too. They just didn't advertise it.
The starting screen seems to depict the sinking of KMS Blücher by the Oscarsborg Fortress in 1940.
Since 2016 I've been wanting a standalone focus tree for Finland, now I've finally got it!
Bravo! Looking forward to playing this myself!
A reason why your channel is one of my all time favourites is because there is so much finnish content
i really love how they made the game run better. like, i often quit in the middle of games because it takes too long (because of my shitty attention span)
”Suojeluskunnat” is a plural form of the finnish word for the White Guard/Civil Guard - Anyhows, thanks for the early snippet of AAT❤
Thanks for that!

As a Finn I like watching this and listening the funny ways youre pronouncing finnish words (you pronounced them very well but still the way you do is very funny)
Thank you Bitt3rsteel you got my into Hoi4
You can queue up a cav div before the civil war starts as you will always get to keep it. Works with every country.
You can also start a justification and then join the allies and declare war without the risk of them calling in the uk
Great video, as always
Petrovski Jam's supply hub was actually destroyed by finnish special long range patrols. 80 people blew up the whole village and supply hub and made it out back to Finland. Crazy
I was about to search for some songs for me to listen to as I draw. But then, this came up.
Welp. Gonna watch this first and draw later :)
That pronunciation of Salla at 18:19 was perfect!
I just got the DLC, now I am waiting when it comes out in order to play it. I am hyped up, ecpecially about the wepons market.
good video, you probably could have requested license from your former soviet puppets if you wanted an airforce. With all the buffs to production you have already, the penalty is pretty minor.
that thumbnail is looking insanely nice good job
Paradox really worked hard on this patch . Dlc also looks amazing
the nordic council focus seems to be an inspiration from the mlp mod with the riverland coalition collective tree
The new mechanics for infantry equipment is such a game changer. If this isn't broken then this could mean countries, like China, could be able to have more viable infantry equipment to account for their lack of industry to produce later game models.
You can have cheaper equipment that is more capable of fighting bigger foes. You can also more properly purchase arms instead of having to rely on Lend Lease.
That might even change how the USA can be played if it can sell arms to other countries. These changes cannot be understated on how much they impact the game for the better.
All this assuming Paradox devs properly thought through everything
They absolutely didn't, though
If by that you mean there wont be a "one strat fits all" or exploits, then its impossible, given how us spread sheet gamers play these games. However, what ive found is that if it is fun regardless of how challenging it is to break, it doesnt matter. And from the eye test, it looks hella fun to play in MP games and opens up the door for more mods to include these mechanics.
i know its a small thing but im glad they made a middle of the road design for victory points that are larger then 5 but smaller then 20
Nooo... 25:34 Seriously paradox used picture of a swedish volunteer for White Death? That's an epic fail and I hope they realize their mistake.
Paradox's swedish bias showing
Cool Video!
1:39 reminds me of EaW's River Federation.
IIRC the finnish tank is a beat of a meme cause of the absolute madness of watching a tank zoom without tread and being able to actually make a jump...
"A little little of fascism never hurt anyone"
Ayo 📸🤨
32:31 "I've outrun my supply lines once again, but it doesn't matters." -- German high command, probably
Excellent video. Sadly u didn’t show us the mechanics with the balance of power but nvm it was worthy 40mn, thanks
I cannot believe bitt3r said Germany is aching for a spanking. It had me dying.
I love the new thumbnails
Love the new thumbnail
Special forces rework is really appreciated as i barely use them except paratroopers for cheeky surprise attack
1:24 need that sound effect in my life
Bitt3rSteel: "Sweden, you just signed your own death warrant."
Sweden: "Yes, but I'm taking your run and your sanity with me. MESSAGE THE JAPANESE!"
Best video's keep it up :)
35:30 "They have the biggest font on the map, and that is all that matters. I will fight you over that."
*stares at the even bigger "Allies" font in Africa.*
this is gonan be so AWESOME
the main screen theme looks a lot a art that you would see in kaiserreich
If you want to build short-ish railways really-really quickly, then i've started constructing railways 1 tile at a time. this builds railways super quick but it does require you to have some sort of industry!
as a finn im so happy that the finnish focus tree is finally coming
Market place could be summarised as: sell unwanted stuff for temporary off map civ factory output
Oh damn, I will not get the dlc because I have pirate hoi4😢 btw great video! Keep doing like this, love ya
28:38 "We're about to touch tips here." -Bitt3rSteel, 2023
I see a lot of the victory points got updated as well
Yeah. All the nordic countries got more provinces to play with.
28:38 😳take me out to dinner first
Imagine being a Finnish man in this timeline. In 5 years your country conquered half of Earth, but losses are huge and a lot of your friends are dead.
And now it's time to fix the demography😏
Wholesome chungus ethnic cleansing 😊😊😊
Thanks for the video ^^ It actually made me purchase the DLC We'll see how good it actually is in a week or so~
Hope you enjoy it!
Nice vid
Well that escalated quickly, in less than 1m30.
I love these new thumbnail!❤
I know, they look sick!
So excited
I can’t take spoilers. Gonna have to watch this after I have played the dlc for a bit 😂
All I could think about watching this video is what was going through the Austrian painter 's mind while you just mopped up the entire soviet union 💀💀
2:30 bt-42 an assault gun based on the chassie of the bt-7
i like the new finleand focus tree
unfortunately that market thing doesnt work anymore. If you go into civil war, it just removes all the guns from the market and adds them back to your stockpile
Hey Bittersteal, remember when you made all of your divisions mechanized with Germany?
I just got done doing the same thing with Finland. I would’ve done Sweden but I really wanted to see what the new Finnish focus tree was.
Oh and this is your old thumbnail, I may have to go look for the original video but I do remember this one.
I like the other loading screen with the Winter war. I wish they would add an option to change the menu screen
Hey Bittersteel, I just love your background music sooo much. Would you care to share your playlist? 😍 Great Video as always! favourit HOI 4 content :)
You should try the historical path it's actually pretty good and it also lets you form greater finland and there is a very secret path of monarchy finland you need to get a new course for kokoomus and then it unblock a focus
35:30
“We have the biggest font on the map!”
Allies in Africa: “Are we a joke to you?”
Wow. I really like this DLC. The international market is really cool. I always love when they add new states. The focus trees have good content but not overly drawn out. Only thing i dont care much for is having to assign a company to build your shit but it is realistic. Solid DLC.
I can't wait to freeze in the Nordic winter!
“We’re about to touch tips here” 🤔
When you like the names of your ships so much that you name three ships the same
"Finnish Supremacy League"
Ylilauta :DD
Civilian market looks fun
You can encircle the capital city of any country and just hold it without capturing it which would cause the entire country to have zero supply because they can't connect it to the capital.
Yeah! And that is really stupid game mechanics! In reality they would move the capital immediatelly!
Doesn't work. The AI will move its supply capital. But it does prevent resupply with new guns and manpower
@@Bitt3rSteel oh i see I think they patched that because it used to be easy to starve the entire Soviet Union as Poland just by surrounding Moscow.
damn this starting screen
i know a history behind this and i am exited
how to lose ship by old weapons 101
Dude, I just realized you never did a video about Malta, would you mind conquering the world starting from those two small islands?
seems they liked what the r56 mod did with Finland and the winter war.

At 11:33, Blitt3r mentions how smooth his game runs now. I haven't been following the DLC's development, are they actually improving the game's performance with the new update?
You can actually join a faction, you just don’t have to be in a faction by the time the ussr caps
no, im pretty sure you cant leave a faction if youre in war with your faction against somebody else
yeah but if they also war with ussr and even it is a different war you can not leave the faction
19:45
(just came from one of the new videos to say this)
close, but not exactly
lithuania rejects due to any other country having them as puppet
and you could still keep memel if you annex it instead, but germany does get a claim on it.
Keep it up with the new front page art
Will do!
how did you get so good ???
@@Bitt3rSteel
You can bypass focuses sometimes like join faction maybe if faction doesn't exist e.g. alt history Germany?
Next up do a 4 man playthru of all the nordic nations to use that shared focus path
