HOI4 devs seeing the strategy to patch it later in the week:

"We love slop" we all yell in unison!

Most youtubers try to have 'rewards' for hitting sub goals, ISP just casually throwing out that we'll be forced to deal with Bokoen1 as a 'reward' is certainly something... (dw Bo we love you even though you're danish)

Quick tip:

Pressing ‘ will open up a magical screen that will help you a ton!

For those who don't know, the reason why you want to swap your tank across to specifically designate it as anti-air (and include SPAA in your units rather than normal tanks) is simple: SPAA needs fewer tanks than normal tanks. A batallion of tanks is 60/50/40 depending on if it's light, medium or heavy. A batallion of tank destroyers is 30/24/20, SP Artillery is 36/36/24 and SPAA is 15/12/8 - so SPAA uses 20-25% of the tanks. Thing is, the amount of armour that a batallion uses just depends on what type of tank it uses and whether it's got enough tanks. The number doesn't matter - having 8 out of 8 tanks is just as good as 40 out of 40.

In vanilla, SPAA and SP Arty has reduced armour to account for the reduced requirement. The tank designer in No Step Back allows you to make SPAA and SP Arty with as much armour as normal tanks though - so you just slap on the simplest AA gun you can, chuck a few in your divisions and off you go.

Another tip for the Soviets! You can time your justification on Turkey with the Southern Thrust focus which gives you Iraq, Afghanistan, and Iran as well. Doesnt provide much, but gives you more ai friends and denies the Germans of virtually all their oil

Chamberlain: Look at my boat, my boat is amazing!
The people: Sweet war! Mm, sweet war!

I wish ironman had a save first day button. So you could setup your army, navy, and air and not have to set them up 1 thousand

I’m still waiting for “The Interesting Tidbits With ISP 2”. I hope this new channel was brought to life for this specific reason.

[mrwri]

Between you and Pyro I have enough slop to finally become the piggy I always wanted to be.

[powdermcgee]

These are fascinating secrets! I can’t wait for the super secret Victoria 2 tutorial to come out

[Matkixbut]

As someone who knows nothing about Hoi4 even after years of watching your channel, this was very informative and really helpful. Thank you.

[TheArklyte]

I would have said that heavy SPAA is broken, but the problem is that irl it would have been even MORE broken, given the feats of abysmally bad KV-1 and T-34 of 1941, but only against germans, who relied on tanks, halftracks and CAS to push. So maybe rather then nerf, it showcases that battle calculations should be done differently depending which doctrine nation had chosen? Because heavy SPAA would do nothing against artillery spam ie brits.

[BORLMBK]

Ah yes the 50, 000 subscriber special: coolmathsgames with Bokoen1, Alf Landon, Huey Long, artillery only and the rat

[pacocheung]

About the heavy SPAA space marine Strat, this is honestly one of the most busted and easiest ways to win as the Chinese against the Japanese invasion, not even early light tanks can’t pierce heavies with 50+ armour, and being an AA piece the CAS damage is usually manageable / you can grind their plane count down easy

That plus a surprise paradrop on the home islands, and you’ve got yourself a super charged china in 1939, manpower is not an issue, you just nommed the Japanese factories and fleet, plus a focus tree that can make you on par with the soviets or Germans in before Barbarossa even starts…… time to find some more dopamine

[TheThrillernights]

I try to get into this game because I really enjoy watching you play it, but every time I feel overwhelmed! Hopefully these tips will help me a little just getting started as a complete beginner

[AngelBloodriver]

Me (Timmy) and the RAT on a date at the SLOP factory while watching silly man play map games

[bobboy]

With several hundred hours of hoi4 under my belt, mostly as poland, I can safely say I've only 'won' once. Hopefully, with the space marine trick and conversions, I can get this 'delightful' game to give me a second win.

[arklaw]

You don't need to double click a unit to select all units of that type, you can just click on the unit icon of the type you want above.

[HELLOFRAYDO]

The conversion is something I never thought to use! Thank you for the informative slop

Now give us the rat
