I Tried Beating HOI4 With Just The Worst Tank Template I Could Make (Great War Tank Only Challenge)

Welcome back to another Hearts of Iron 4 video! This time I tried beating HOI4 by making the worst tank template I could make and ONLY terrible tank divisions for the whole game.

Alex the Rambler produces videos on a variety of Strategy games while dabbling in other things from time to time. Expect extremely incompetent gameplay!

*Apologies for the peaking audio, windows changed my audio settings during an update and I didn't a professional I promise.*

Alex easily lost a 150k in this game, probably even more, because the equipment losses are only calculated per year. I watched this live and it was brutal.

Challenge: see if you wan win as Germany (historical) using a division template with 1 of each unit type

Finally a tank that falls apart as it's rolling out the factory doors.

You literaly made single use throwaway tanks with engines that probably burst in fire the moment you hit the brakes once .

Not playing a monarchist playthrough physically hurts Alex. It's a rare disease called "Royalist Deficiency" or "Throne Dysfunction"

[Archphoenix]

the audio might be worse than the bob semple tank

[flintsefton]

Fun fact: to fit with the ww1 theme Alex's mic is from the same time period

Alex: *agent gets captured immediately* What, how?
Alex's agent upon arrival in Moscow: What's going on Soviets? It's me, ya spy...

[RenneVangr]

- Germany lost 200+ tanks in under a day.
• How?
- They started training.

If somebody is wondering what is CAS DMG it's basically how much org you are taking away from enemy divisions. No it's not percent it's the exact number.

"Have you not had enough of Monarchist Playthroughs?"

To be fair, a good portion of the Paradox player/fan-base are probably Monarchists.

0:55 Alex, I do not need these jumpscares in my life. Zoom in if you must but there's no need to just flash your grin at me thirty times. My poor heart.

Few things make me smile like seeing that blue dot on the Rambler sub icon, and even fewer things like seeing a nice long video. Can’t wait to dive into this tonight!

[markrenolds]

For a second I thought the audio was a meme. *I was wrong.*

[CarlosianBigWang]

I’ve genuinely wondered what you could do as a best worst Great War tank build as a super power, not quite what you are doing here but close enough to be entertaining! Lol

[IzZMiDNiiteZz]

I gave this video a like for the 'this channel is not terrible' hahah. I don't know if you were trying to convince us or yourself lol. Love your content and sense of humour

[Roketsune]

LOL, 25k losses from combat, 60k from mere attrition, and one tank recovered!

This is basically the Hoi4 version of the naked corvette strategy in Stellaris
