The TANK ONLY challenge as Turkey is true torture in HOI4

Who doesn't love Tank only? But you know what's even better? HEAVY TANKS in HOI4, babyyyy.
All of that beautiful Turkish chromium will certainly help ;)

I've been on a HOI4 binge of using only the historical presets given by Paradox, alongside accurate, historical division organization. But this time, it's CHALLENGE TIME BABY! I'm taking TURKEY and forcing them into TANK ONLY just to see if they can manage it ;) Don't worry, I have a secret trick up my sleeve, though...

""Turkey has the worst focus tree in the game""

Oh boy... you should play New Zealand or the British Raj...

[lmayo_]

Gotta love the coinflip to either being able to core your own territory or lose stability that you cannot recover

[TheTurkwithaPerk]

Hey! Love to see myself as an offensive division template for the glorius turkish army! Love the videos, keep going! I also wanted to mention that the reason why the turkish focus tree is so ass is because turkish politics, military and economy was as ass as the focus tree itself. The military had to take rifles from villagers to be able to arm themselves. The economy was still in shambles and Atatürk had just passed away. They made it realistic but unplayable

To elaborate on training without equipment, they will train to the amount they currently possess, so if they have 70% equipment, they will train up to 70%, hope this helps

[horrigan]

training tank division without equipment? No problem!
"Listen up maggots! Watch and learn how you start a tank! When you get one...."

17:20 "Borç" means "Debt" in Turkish lol you hit them with national debt

[Evenstan]

There’s no way Turkish focus tree is the worst one

[malachi]

if a tank has a dozer blade its +1 entrentchment, but if you have 200 tanks with dozer blades in a division then its +200 entrentchment. If you get 200 tanks with 3 dozer blades each in a division its +600 entrentchment (or at least it used to be, havent done it in a while)

[quuirrel_-szpj]

Okay but hear me out... Historical tank divisions only

[EggziztenselyThroughoutLife]

From doing and finishing the decisions related to the army tree, you will get 125K manpower instead of removing the bad national spirit.
Remember that next time you play as turkey!

If I remember right, Battle for the Bospherous was made by a small group of people contracted out. I believe they normally did mods for HOI4 before hand. I would not be surprised if they were told to be on the side of caution on making sure the nations aren't OP.

[NaturalGarethFan]

I would do this ngl. I am only well-versed in tanks compared to literally anything else so this is effectively my type of run

[blossomhaven]

Can you play bulgaria ww1 and reform the Byzantine empire and if possible historic division

[glauberglousger]

Nah, Armoured Cars are better, they're like lighter light tanks, but here's a few more things to convince you


1. They're faster than tanks, able to keep up with motorised and overrun enemies easily

2. They're easy to get, just research a thing, and use xp to upgrade, no complex designer or stat balancing, like the old pre tank designer days, saving research which you can put elsewhere

3. They're cheap, costing about the same as artilery, you can make three of these for one decent tank, saving factories, and allowing you to build three times as many "tank" divisions, and replace losses much quicker

4. They consume less fuel, and require less fuel, allowing even small nations with barely any oil to use them well


(Use them with motorised, like tanks, not alone, like tanks)

Australia liberating Archangelsk and Soviet Union creating Independent USSR consisting of two disconnected stated were peak hoi4 😅

[Engineer_gaming]

The turkish heavy tanks are the size of a damn house like holy.

[pollball]

Turkey video in republic's day. Hooray!

[kacknkurt]

-Turkey have the t
Worst focus tree
+And I take it personal


İf we lower the time focus tree is one of the best


Except ottoman path

[krcsirke]

0:03 40M Nimród was the best anti air tank

[ryankline]

The funniest thing about the Turkish straits event is ypu back down even as the player you have justification going against them. I guess Paradox can't give us a free wargoal 😭
