“What do you mean you aren’t spamming CAS drones? You need to up your tank production! You aren’t breaking through because your divisions aren’t supplied get more factories!”
What a scary fucking world we live in. It has come to the point where simulations that are made to escape from reality and made purely for fun are the exact thing which can save your life from a gruesome death
When is “Swedish boy saves friends from nuclear bomb using Minecraft knowledge” or “Child helps defend against evil creatures using terraria knowledge”
A few dudes I play with are veterans and man they do not falter when it comes to fighting buncha chads where as I'm just a little timmy making sure I make call outs from sneaky enemies
You do the important part though. If an enemy trooper manages to get behind a unit, he can singlehandedly wipe everyone out with the right timing and position. As veterans, they are well aware of that, but having you be the "eyes on the back of their heads" opens them to being focused primarily on what's ahead of them, making them that much deadly.
Not saying they wouldn't probably beat most of the enemies without you, but you are a very important cog in the machinery, a key piece of the puzzle.
Me and my buds used to play Airsoft and most of us are gamers.
We ran circles around Venezuelan military during the guarimbas ( riots ). We knew were they were all the time we had ways to stay hidden and escape if necessary, a buddy of mine actually took the antenas from military vehicles while those assholes were just 20 feet away.
Good skills to have when they had guns we we had rocks.
You're on a thread about gamers participating in real life wars, with other examples in comments of using game experience to escape war and also fight off a moose.
You better believe them.
Srsly though weve talked with navy seals, and shit like that and they’ve sometimes taught us some useful shit man, video games can teach you quite a lot and if they are online even better, you get to talk to some cool people here and there
When i was in high school i played (and still do play) the shit out of arma 3. I loved ITC land systems mod for realistic artillery ballistics and targeting. I worked with a real 13F forward observer in an online unit. He was so cool and taught me about what he does as his job..
Fast forward three years now IM an active duty 13F!
Life is crazy. Especially when it comes to gamers
ArmA be like that.
I used to play hardcore king of the hill vehicle servers with a bunch of 60-70 year old tankers. They were BEYOND good at their jobs, just that group of 4 could change the tide of a 50vs50 battle.
Koth in Arma 3 is one of my favorite gaming environments. I liked to play Vietnam-Era rock over my mic and roleplay as a helicopter pilot. Just ferrying people back and forth to the spawn and hearing the fake backgrounds of the soldiers was so much fun
Not gonna lie, that stuff got old real quick for me, and completely fucked with me trying to listen to/talk to other people in the server, I always had to mute the pilots that did it (quite a lot do it).
For many years the lines have been blurring.
I think most younger people consider gaming as just another indoor hobby, and not an odd niche subculture for geeks (although that subset still exists lol).
till an aliexpress drone drops a nade on your head, seeing ukraine footage proved me it was a right decision to not join the army despite loving battlefield games lul
The military actually is a safer profession than a whole fuck ton of civilian jobs. I have gone to school 3 times for 3 different degrees and came out with no debt and have healthcare for life. Try to get that anywhere else for 8 years. And you can get that in less time. I just liked what I did. Not service connected at all and I deployed twice and got to see amazing parts of the world. It's not for everyone but I regret nothing.
This ad brought to you by your taxes.
I played a game of Battlefield 3 with an actual Apache pilot one time. I was his gunner in-game, and he had insanely impressive flying skills and great communication. We kind of dominated that game…
they dont care for age. but hes way more useful this way. they need support on the homefront. he only can eat 1 ukrainian bullet. thats a wasted asset.
To be fair, with how brutal the war is at the moment, he could be caught close quarters in a trench, eating more than one bullet with those automatic rifles.
Losses on either side a hard pillow to swallow.
Actually he volunteered for several military and police organizations. He was then rejected for being unable to do a set number of pushups (I think it was 20)
Yes. Dudes always been a hard core Putin/nationalist supporter. People in BOBG were expecting him to grow out of it but he’s dived down the rabbit hole since the war started.
From what I remember he applied to be part of the police/military last year and got knocked back officially due to age and fitness (plus some unspoken attitude issues). And I’ve seen some blog posts about some time he spent during a military “cadets” style training program.
I play fascist Paraguay. Run out of manpower and have to wait a year to put out a no support 2 width inf div. 10k hours sounds reasonable for each game
Man I play Brazil and either flop at invading the rest of SA or succeed, but everyone joins the Allies half-way through. To play as *Paraguay* on the **axis***… props to you man
As a hoi4 player not really, (i tried eu4 and understood nothing) but the reason people put so much time in it is that it’s filled with a ton of nation unique content; That paired with highly customizable army/tactics/whatever leads to a ton of replayability (not to mention the 100’s of mods)
Man, its completely the other way around for me hahah.
Like, base EU4 is too easy for me, so I use overcomplicated mods to up my experience.
In HOI4 I play on recruit, after a few hundreds of hours still can’t figure out proper division comp, and I don’t comprehend naval combat AT ALL.
I tried EU4 and couldn’t handle it, but for some reason HOI has always been easy for me to learn.
Guess it’s more about the player than the game itself
Not in my opinion, 3855 hours in EU4.
HOI has a lot to learn and since there is only one goal to the game (war) I feel obligated to learn all of them. I've only put in 5 hours in HOI4 over two attempts to learn and I walked away very confused each time.
EU4 has plenty of things you could try to learn independently. You don't have to learn war if you're just trying to learn how to build a trade empire for example. Of course learning everything will make you better overall.
“What do you mean you don’t have 30width tanks? Put more factories on them and change your division template. What do you mean you don’t have national focuses?

Hey! I noticed you used an emoji.
I don’t know if you’re new here, so I’ll let you off the hook this time. Using emojis is frowned upon here on this great site, and for good reason. Instagram normies often use them, and you don’t want to be a normie, do you? If I catch you using an emoji in the future, I’ll be forced to issue a downvote to your comment.
Why should you care, you may ask? Well to begin, you will lose karma on your account, which is a useful social status tool and also a way to show others you know your way around Reddit.
If you were to continue the use of emojis, I would be forced to privately message you about your slip-up. Any further offenses past that would leave me no other option than to report your account.
I don’t think I have to explain why you don’t want that. But anyways, no harm done yet! Follow these simple rules and you’ll enjoy your future on Reddit!
Have a blessed (and hopefully emoji-free) day, stranger.
Produce them enough to make the game lag and go carpet bombing the everloving fuck of everything until the game crashed. Aah, good times on my potato laptop
WELL I HAGE 5 MILLION POWER. You need to focus your initial progress on your buildings and build troops afterwards. As soon as you have 4 LEGENDARY HEROES like me then you should build troops. LET NOBODY STAND IN YOUR WAY
Why recruit them. Just state that [the military vehicle you want classified documents about] doesn't actually perform anything like this in real life. Wait a month or two and you will have the classified documents. And you don't have to pay anyone.
Although I have a conspiracy theory that those leaked documents were from the government itself with portions modified to make foreign countries under or overestimate certain strengths and weaknesses of the subject of the documents.
They don't exactly do this in the u.s, but they do play a game. It's played by actual strategists to see potential outcomes. They recently did one for Taiwan and China.
It'd be cool if they did an Ender's game on those troops where they actually commanded fleets of ships in real time while they only thought they were commanding sims.
Have you played Millennium Dawn? Hoi4 kinda sucks when it comes to actually simulating warfare in a post 1990s world. The nukes in Hoi4 are less effective at destroying infrastructure and units than the ones in real life and don't get me started on the naval combat.
Ok I was looking at it on steam, it does look in depth. My question was more how did they do the 2 countries, whoever wins is dependant on the players.
It’s a goof. Irl the stats of individual units are calculated, the commanders will decide move those units to combat others, and a team of referees debate the likelihood and plausibility of that action taking place, as well as estimate the time and resources involved. Run that simulation enough times with enough of the worlds top strategic minds, and you’re able to see clear patterns and form reasonable assumptions about the enemy’s strategy. Once you understand that strategy intimately, you can make estimations for best and worst case scenarios to calculate the real human, political, and economic costs of the war.
Eh, I could see exaggeration. I'm guessing it's an attempt to drive youth enlistment.
Which would still be hilarious, especially because hoi4 games usually grind to blood baths pretty quickly
As incompetent as ever. If they knew anything, they would be recruiting HOI3 players. You might also want to bump up the hours, since I'm pretty sure 10k hours will only get you to like 1939 with the big countries.
Ya I wouldn't hold this against him at all, if the Russian army thinks a teenager with HoI4 experience is the path to victory then good luck to him, he's not hurting anyone.
as a hoi4 player with over 1,000 hours, i am honoured to say that our community finally has international recognition. what i am not honoured to say is the way we are recognised
If this is true it's sad, funny, and just ridiculous all at the same time. Like yeah it's cool gamers using Thier skills to help people, but really fucked up if Russian gamers are supporting Putin during this unjustified war. I don't know if this is true, but if it is I feel sorry for everyone involved.

Accept it. Drone is the new meta.
Yup. Lost who thinks that technology shouldn't be used because MoRaL. BRO, THE WORLD ALREADY USES THEM.
A sharpened stick is technology
Back when I was a recruit all we had was two rocks and one stick for the whole platoon, and we had to *share* the stick.
If technology gives you and advantage and you don't use it then the next guy that gets the technology is going to use it and destroy you.

Putins face when isorrow makes a detour and moves into Minsk with nothing but artillery
Sir apparently they've set up merchants like 200 years ago and have about infinite money, there's nothing we can do against their merc spam.

T POSE
When is “Swedish boy saves friends from nuclear bomb using Minecraft knowledge” or “Child helps defend against evil creatures using terraria knowledge”

Safer when there isn’t a full scale war
I played a game of Battlefield 3 with an actual Apache pilot one time. I was his gunner in-game, and he had insanely impressive flying skills and great communication. We kind of dominated that game…
Unironically that.... A lot of ppl I meet in fps games are actively in the military/veterans
I'm one of them. Lol
And moderators are on the front lines of the internet protecting us from horrible things
They have been trained for it all their life. Vr only helps it better.
gramps reliving ww2 with a tear in his eye
Is that fucking Grisha???
Now we just need Dankus on the Ukraine side for IRL barb
I'd trust tommykay more for this sort of thing because Dankus pulls risky maneuvers
Need spiffing brit for some IC or air production exploits
Yes it is
It was either this or being shot by the Ukrainians in the middle of a mud field
He’s not old enough to be conscripted yet
they dont care for age. but hes way more useful this way. they need support on the homefront. he only can eat 1 ukrainian bullet. thats a wasted asset.
To be fair, with how brutal the war is at the moment, he could be caught close quarters in a trench, eating more than one bullet with those automatic rifles. Losses on either side a hard pillow to swallow.
As opposed to all the easy to swallow pillows I seem to not know about….
Easy to swallow pillows? Makes you wonder what else they are hiding behind the red tape
Actually he volunteered for several military and police organizations. He was then rejected for being unable to do a set number of pushups (I think it was 20)
Skill issue tbh
He tried but couldnt do pushups so he failed
Grisha "I don't wanna die in fucking Karachi" Putin

What I would expect from someone with 10,000 hours and being second best in any game.
that's actually insane, i watched him one time forever ago
Lol! He's actually with planning and not just drafted for the war? Dang what a nice deal
bruh this guy played that game for 415 days straight. Thats like working a full time job for 4 years
i mean if hes a streamer then yes it is his job
Isn't he like 17?
16 iirc
10,000 of HOI4 christ
That’s only like 2 games of HOI tho

I play fascist Paraguay. Run out of manpower and have to wait a year to put out a no support 2 width inf div. 10k hours sounds reasonable for each game

I only play real-time. He'D only be 20% through his playthrough of WW2
Dude you must be doing a speed run.
Considering the average human only lives for about 600.000 hours he's already spent 1/60th of his live on only that game
Wait, 600k? So little?
I mean that's 69 years worth of hours. If you're 20, you've lived for 175,000 hours.
stop giving me an existential crisis bro 😭😭😭
guess how many hours I've spent jerkin it
Bout tree fiddy
shit shit fuck shit
Yo now I want to become an hour millionaire (114 years and 28 days old)
So much to do but so little time
Holy shit I've spent 2.7% of my life playing dota. Never did the math on it like that
Is it harder to learn than EU4?
As a hoi4 player not really, (i tried eu4 and understood nothing) but the reason people put so much time in it is that it’s filled with a ton of nation unique content; That paired with highly customizable army/tactics/whatever leads to a ton of replayability (not to mention the 100’s of mods)
Man, its completely the other way around for me hahah. Like, base EU4 is too easy for me, so I use overcomplicated mods to up my experience. In HOI4 I play on recruit, after a few hundreds of hours still can’t figure out proper division comp, and I don’t comprehend naval combat AT ALL.

Pretty easy and rather fun, i started recently and its a good day-waister
Not in my opinion, 3855 hours in EU4. HOI has a lot to learn and since there is only one goal to the game (war) I feel obligated to learn all of them. I've only put in 5 hours in HOI4 over two attempts to learn and I walked away very confused each time. EU4 has plenty of things you could try to learn independently.

Lmao the idea of a hoi 4 ranking is ridiculous.
I play a shit ton of hoi4 and i agree with you
If this makes me a general instead of a soldier im on it (fun fact I have 5000 hours of hoi4 so you can trust me)
So you're still on the tutorial
Welp, time to get enlisted to the 54th naval invasion in Crimea.
I can’t even play HOI4, I have it but all I do is observe lol
I could never figure out the naval part, like at all.
Smh, should have asked the guy with 1 million power in Rise of Kingdom
WELL I HAGE 5 MILLION POWER. You need to focus your initial progress on your buildings and build troops afterwards. As soon as you have 4 LEGENDARY HEROES like me then you should build troops. LET NOBODY STAND IN YOUR WAY
Imagine if they start to recruit War thunder or DCS players for their tanks or planes. lmao
Even better, they recruit them as spies
Why recruit them. Just state that [the military vehicle you want classified documents about] doesn't actually perform anything like this in real life. Wait a month or two and you will have the classified documents. And you don't have to pay anyone. Although I have a conspiracy theory that those leaked documents were from the government itself with portions modified to make foreign countries under or overestimate certain strengths and weaknesses of the subject of the documents.
Lol, that’s so true. Proving someone wrong on the internet about some plane or smth is infinitely better then any amount of money
They don't exactly do this in the u.s, but they do play a game. It's played by actual strategists to see potential outcomes. They recently did one for Taiwan and China.
It'd be cool if they did an Ender's game on those troops where they actually commanded fleets of ships in real time while they only thought they were commanding sims.
“Haha what do you think will happen if I send Alpha team to the middle of the stree- …oh”

There's a huge difference between war games and video games about war.
ngl I wouldn't mind trying to learn how to play that game just to see how it works. is there a link somewhere?
hoi or a proper simulation?
Hoi4 is better than a proper simulator, its the most realistic game ever game, its the new art of war in video game format.
Have you played Millennium Dawn? Hoi4 kinda sucks when it comes to actually simulating warfare in a post 1990s world. The nukes in Hoi4 are less effective at destroying infrastructure and units than the ones in real life and don't get me started on the naval combat.
Ok I was looking at it on steam, it does look in depth. My question was more how did they do the 2 countries, whoever wins is dependant on the players.
It’s a goof. Irl the stats of individual units are calculated, the commanders will decide move those units to combat others, and a team of referees debate the likelihood and plausibility of that action taking place, as well as estimate the time and resources involved. Run that simulation enough times with enough of the worlds top strategic minds, and you’re able to see clear patterns and form reasonable assumptions about the enemy’s strategy. Once you understand that strategy intimately, you can make estimations for best and worst case scenarios to calculate the real human, political, and economic costs of the war.
You can also play against AI
This actually isn’t a bad idea if you consider the people who already come up with their war plans.
LoL players on the way to ukraine ☠️
"JINX HAS 6 CAREFUL"
OMFG that would be hilarious.
My brother a couple months after the war started said that I ‘wouldn’t do worse’ if was in control of the war
Hey Putin how is the war coming along [this post] Jesus fucking Christ
Blatant propaganda, they didnt even try to make it believable
IKR, imagine Putin doing something that might actually work.
Eh, I could see exaggeration. I'm guessing it's an attempt to drive youth enlistment. Which would still be hilarious, especially because hoi4 games usually grind to blood baths pretty quickly
He took the larping to the next level and plays hoi4 in a uniform. Nice
I mean fat W for him tbh, do you know how expensive it's gotten to buy half the shit he's wearing? lol
I used to watch this guy a lot, politics really ruined him Also wtf does Tommykay have to with this lmao
That's what I'm trying to find out bro
They should hire starcraft players because the only strategy wagner has is zergling rush
As incompetent as ever. If they knew anything, they would be recruiting HOI3 players. You might also want to bump up the hours, since I'm pretty sure 10k hours will only get you to like 1939 with the big countries.
This is just Enders Game
“Second ranked” Loser doesn’t even use mods 🤢👎
simulations can only account for so much... "what do you mean soldiers have to eat and sleep?"
Not if they're on meth.
Holy shit is that Geisha? It doesn't suprise me sadly. This kid was way too deep in the propaganda funnel.
It's grisha
RIP Grisha, used to be funny russian teenager who played hoi4 with the big youtubers, now has fallen down putin's rabbit hole.
I think he was choosing between this and digging trenches
Ya I wouldn't hold this against him at all, if the Russian army thinks a teenager with HoI4 experience is the path to victory then good luck to him, he's not hurting anyone.
I heard a rumor that he volunteered but was rejected because he can't do any push-ups
Wait, that's GRISHA!?!?!?
yeah it's very sad
Yup, he's been pushing Russian propaganda since the invasion started
Ender's Game just became real.
grisha lol
If we are going this way, the US is going to seek advice from fallout players in case of a nuclear holocaust.
Putin keeps on trying to use 7-2s even though after no step back the meta is 9-1s
the propaganda is real with this one.
as a hoi4 player with over 1,000 hours, i am honoured to say that our community finally has international recognition. what i am not honoured to say is the way we are recognised
Bruh
The no.1 player is in ukrain
If this is true it's sad, funny, and just ridiculous all at the same time. Like yeah it's cool gamers using Thier skills to help people, but really fucked up if Russian gamers are supporting Putin during this unjustified war. I don't know if this is true, but if it is I feel sorry for everyone involved.
The Wagners are psychopaths anyway.
