    Did AI cheat?

    As Germany I traded Slovakia for Danzig and waited to see Soviets eat Poland but somehow the Falangist Poland which I used boost ideology before somehow beat the USSR with the help of the allies with no access to sea. I also checked if my Hungarian and Romanian puppets give them access but no. So how the hell did they manage to get Allied troops and lend lease to beat USSR. Poland annexed Western Russia and Siberia is given to Russian Federation.

    How do you like to deal with Japan when playing USA? (single)

    I've played USA like 2-3 times and I just defend Philippines at all cost with most of my forces and try to control the key sea areas so I can attack mainland Japan asap.

    What are some of your methods?

    I have a carrier / planes problem. They will not restock.

    I am Japan. I have their starting carriers loaded with CAS Carrier Fighters. I have another hundred in stock. During the war with China I use Control H to position them in the sea to bomb. Occasionally I lose a plane. They never restock lost air wings. Even if I return the carriers to port they do not restock. I can send new wings from existing groups or from reserve, but the automatic restock never happens. Why is this?

    Anti colonialism is literally broken

    https://preview.redd.it/57u98iqe79od1.png?width=2559&format=png&auto=webp&s=ee7e261068f799865e160a4403ce526787ae09fe

    In recent patch (probably more than one) its impossible to use the liberation mechanic as intended. Whenever I spend 25 command power and give a debuff to the state uk switches occupation law from local autonomy to military governor decreasing the resistance target to be under 60% making it impossible to actually start a rebellion.

    Special forces doctrine tree

    Well when playing as the soviets a trained around 360 division of infantry to hold against the German, all good until this point, but when I completed the mountaineer special forces doctrine tree I am allowed to train around 100+ mountaineers division. I am wondering if this is a bug or it's supposed to be like that. I know my army is large but a complete army group of special forces is to excessive.

    Seems like HOI4 (as well as Stellaris) is crashing a lot more recently ...

    ... and I have no mods loaded. Anyone else seeing this issue or is it just me?

    Does anyone know how to make HOI4 read the Greek alphabet (or any other language) when I input it? I want to name my divisions in Greek writing but it just becomes question marks, Thanks.

    what is happening with ai germany

    so i found something really weird i played poland habsburg path lately, i did it on commamds, yes tired of not having fun. anyway i never saw ai breaking their focuses bevause of too much manpower... until then. basically i also tried having less divisions in the field, also didnt work. what happens is germany always chooses war with ussr and just dont go to anschluss and other focuses. all done on historical. i realised after i checked... germany doesnt seem to be gettung eniugh divisions out. i had to tag germany and put some divisions in the queue to forcd germany to go with correct focuses. im wondering, is it some sort of bug, or some weird quirk of usimg commands? also i cpuldnt see enemy divisions on the fromt and enemy never started attacking. that never haopened when i plaued with commands, so im reallu confused, was there some change or is thos just a bug, mayne weird new interaction with commands

    Where can I find more CP???

    Im really new to this. Dont know if this will sound dumb but I have been playing as Turkey, fighting the soviets but guess what? ABSOLUTELY NO CP!!! Only thing I have is one ground support crews in Caucasia and Sabiha Gokcen in the government. I barely got any army exp because of this. I only used force attack once in spanish civil war as well.

    Tldr; I NEED CP!!!

    Master of War achievement bugged

    I completed all doctrines in the Trade interdiction navy, Battlefield suport air and Superior firepower land. Im in ironman, achievements available. I waited a lot ingame. Moreover, the achievement appears amidst my completed ones in their tab, but it only says available, not "completed". Can someone please explain?

    Need assistance

    So I’m playing the OWB mod as the enclave and all has been going well but I made an error and saved it and right after I saved I’m now running into issues with the van grafs and they are this small state but I just finished a huge war that had depleted me and they are wrecking me. Is there a command or anything I can use to just give their land to me so I don’t have to start all over.

    Which minor nations can become the strongest?

    fascist Finland is pretty insane being able to annex and core Sweden Denmark and Norway in early 37, but what are some other good minor-to-major nations?

    Why do I only see old naval research?

    I recently bought HOI 4 and am playing as Germany. My research tree looks like this, but according to the wiki it should be like this and there should also be a naval support technlogoy tab that I do not have.
    My hoi 4 version seems to be Bolivar v.1.14.8.6eb9, so larger than 1.6.
    What am I missing?
