#Hearts of iron 4 tips upgrade#

engine upgrade : gives you the ability to upgrade the engine to 9, anymore is a waste of resources. Support tab is key to getting flame thrower for flame tanks. here are the tabs that have important research on them support now you have to research the part that are spread through in different tabs. Instead of just researching for tanks before nsb.

30 total attack is more than 36 total attack.

high velocity cannon 10 soft attack+26 hard attack = 36 total attack.

improved small cannon 15 soft attack+15 hard attack =30 total attack.

If you can spare the production, recon light tanks are great at boosting your stats and making your tank template even better, for some sacrifice to recon. You need to research engineer 2 and make a light flame tank template to add these to your units Recon light tanks

DO NOT FORGET TO SET THEM TO FLAME TANK ROLE.

ignore the reliability, there are so few of them and they are so cheap it doesnвЂ™t even matter.

suspension : donвЂ™t forget to use wheeled suspension they give -10% production cost.

this is how you make one as cheap as possible. instead add additional machine guns to increase attack by a bit more.ДЇlame tanks have -75 percent to most of its stats, it is not wort it to spend any production on it. machine guns : we can only add 2 secondary turret. secondary turret : add a secondary turret so we improve the attack even more.Д¤. turret : pick medium fixed super structure, so you can put the heavy canon.ДЈ. gun : pick the best heavy cannon than advanced high velocity cannon, they give great hard attack.Дў. There is 4 important modules for a tank destroyer design.ДЎ. because tank destroyer has -75% breakthrough, it is a bad idea to put any modules that provides breakthrough like : interleaved road wheels, radios, stabilizers, extra ammo storage on tank destroyers. to make a good tank destroyer design we need to increase its attack to the limit. Tank destroyers are the battalion that provides the attack damage of tanks. modules : you start out with no stabilizers instead use for extra ammo storage untill you do, they give the 2nd best breakthrough.If you are planning not to use any stabilizers, smoke launchers, armor skirts and secondary turrets can be used to increase breakthrough without sacrificing too much reliability. radio : pick the best radio you have, they give good breakthrough modifier.Д¤. There is 4 important modules for a medium tank design.ДЈ. any modules that are not providing breakthrough should be avoided like : sloped armor, squeeze bore adapter, etc. Medium tanks are the battalion that provides the rest of the unit with breakthrough thus maximizing breakthrough is a key to success with a good medium tank design. do not go over 9 because then it cost extra resources to produce.

upgrades : maximize armor upgrade while maintaining the decided speed. engine : gasoline engine is best because it buffs speed, the only good stat that engine buffs. they provide just as much breakthrough as welded armor and gives the tank -20% production cost. armor : riveted armor is best in my opinion.

do not put interleaved road wheels on tank destroyers. if your tanks are slower than the decided speed with upgrades to the engine, switch to christie suspension. for breakthrough tanks use interleaved road wheels for even more breakthrough. suspension : bogie suspension is best for everything besides breakthrough tank, because it cost the least. if your main stay tank have low reliability, you might want to consider producing extra to compensate for more losses or changing them to have more reliability. but if you are planning to upgrade your tanks the first batch can have lower reliability because an unreliable tank is better then no tanks. tanks that have less reliability suffer extra casualty in combat due to attrition, they also gain back their organisation slower. reliability : you can keep at the back of your mind. recommended number : 8km/h same speed as mechanized, 6.4km/h same speed as cavalry. speed : effects how fast tanks go, should be consistent across all of your templates. The tank designer has 6 important common elements, consistent across all tanks.
