EVERY SINGLE EXPLOIT IN 1 VIDEO! - Max Broken Germany Hearts of Iron 4 (2024)

Ah yes, I love it. This video heralds back to the first time I watched FeedBackGaming, which was a HOI4 exploit video.
Keep doing it man. I love it!

I really love the exploit where i can sit down to play HOI 4 for an hour and it actually turns into 8 hours

"If you dont use hotkeys , you're a fool''
Me who uses Cool Keys: *The future is now , old man*

Hearts of Iron 4, a perfectly balanced game with no exploits at all.

Second peace conference:"Pops out"
Feedback, after taking all the allied land:"Nah, i'll just cklick done"
Italy:"Stonks"

This is the biggest exploit strategy with Germany i found so far : invade France at the very start (i love to use paratroopers to cut their frontline at Maginot when they are on my core). Just before to capitulate them you need 6 cavalry divisions to be ready and justify on the UK. Send your cavalry on naval invasion on Canada, South Africa, India, Malaisia, Australia and NZ from french ports (that is why you need 6) on undefended territory (not a port and not a zone that border an other country). Declare on the UK, send your paratroopers to take the ports and send your army on their core. Just because you had 1 division on one peace of land from every british puppet, they will all be in the peace deal. Just before to capitulate the UK justify on Italy and attack them. Just before to capitulate Italy justify on Poland and invade them. After this you need 4 armys of infantry (pure infantry, you don't need arty, too expensive) and invade the US. After this you just need to send your army at the border of Poland and invade the Soviets. Here we go, you have invaded all the majors on the planet except from Japan. My record of the capitulation of the Soviets with this strategy is mid 39 (04/09/1939 to be precise). You just need to make a crap ton of material of infantry for the garisons and i do all of this with 20 width pure infantry with support arty, ingeneer and recon for the speed with a lot of tactical bombers (for the range) and few light tanks to make little pockets.
Love you. See ya.

gotta be real with you, showing us that you have a cat instantly makes this video better by a ton

Dave, Imma be real with you here;I'm going to have to call the UN about this because I'm pretty sure this violates the Geneva Convention

"oh my god the casualties" Churchill about Gallipoli

"Goebbels did bad things don't talk about him" meanwhile in Brazil, the culture minister translated one of Goebbels' speeches and used it as it own speech on a national broadcast with richard wagner as soundtrack

My favorite exploit is the old one when you could get owerpowerd divisions in the spanish civil war

my favourite exploit is avoiding taxes by having an offshore bank account.

Italy: "what about a peace conference?"
Germany: "you already had one"
Italy: "what about the second conference?"
🤣🤣🤣

my fave exploit is you Dave

Me who has all DLCs except La Resistance: *le cry*
Edit: I have since gotten a better way of income and now have the DLC

The real exploit is the friends we made along the way

Marvel: Endgame is the most ambitious crossover event in history.
Me:
Also my favourite exploit was the Spanish one before La Resistance with the OP troops.
Keep up the good work, I’m enjoying the videos!😁

I loved the 1.9.0 exploit you can literally do every achievement with it

Germany: Does most of the war
Italy: How about I take your efforts instead

Dave: I've never seen a double peace conference before.
Me: The double peace conference happens in every game I've played since 1.9.3 🤣

Cool video, trying this myself immediately. One thing i can think of to improve the video would be to include a tech progression & National focus "tree" in the description.
like Rhineland -> 4 Year Plan -> .... -> Something something. bit of a hassle to jump back and forward due to the density of the information in the video

People: Germany can’t win-
FBG: *Are you sure about that?!*

I think the best exploit is preventing the Soviets from getting "The Great Partiotic War". Without that the Soviets are so weak and easy to conquer.

I utterly loved the artillery exploit, because I do it in every hoi4 game no matter what country. It really works as the soviets by the way, when you go down superior fire power.

Feedback Gaming: cheat my way to world conquest
me: This is just illegal
Game: I don't think so
God this is beautiful

masterpiece

The historians in that time line are going to be so confused and baffled.

I really like the german focus tree exploit were you go down both trees, also
I forgot what else I was going to say

my favourite exploit: this one saved me from countless failed games...…
when you about to die, pretend that you remembered that you have HW, and quit the game before you die
works for me.

Feedbackgaming: I like Model
TH-cam: demonetized

My favorite exploit is that you can hold enter to get rid of the pop ups

Me: does all the work as germany
Italy: OUR WORK*

Personal favorite exploit is the infinite equipment exploit from a patch or two back. That sh*t was nuts.

Best Exploit: As Germany, don't do Rhineland, get an early war on switzerland, defeat them, then do oppose Hitler, before finished bypass Rhineland. Then you can do both pathes of germany, which is awesome! Sadly, it only works in older versions, but its defenitely my favorite.

Imagine playing the game as intended, this post was made by the feedbackgaming club

Italy: "I am gonna do whats called a pro-gamer move."

Forgotten exploit: declare various wars while at war with the allies.

uhh.. not sure if this still works in 1.10 but in 1.8.2 you can name your most OP division template ‚Landsturmregiment‘ and do Oppose Hitler, this way the 24 divisions that spawn will be with the template you name, along with all the equipment it needs. When the civil war is still going on, rename the template to something else, so when the war is over, you won’t lose them, AND the equipment.
You only need to beat up someone to get army XP, do German-Soviet Treaty to get Panzer III early, then make your 40 with tank division and basically get thousands of free equipment. Probably the most OP exploit of Germany I know of, though you’ll need a _sh*t_ ton of fuel to run them.

about this with favorite "exploit *" then it is not in this video but still. you know this event that comes sometime 1938-1939 in japan when you do not have to do marco polo but then still go to war with china and they have negative modifyers it is mmmmmmm

My favorite exploit was when you could go down both focus trees as Germany. But at the moment it has to be using the London Naval Treaty as a way to capitulate the USA in 1937.

My favorite exploit is "~" and then type a command like "Annex tag"

Ok that final peace conference with Italy just taking everything somehow actually got me a bit mad lmao, you did everything and took everyone but the game and Italy just went: "It’s free real estate"

Says “s pills” while having Hitler in the thumbnail lol

you can also plan naval invasions from enemy territory as long as your own army you want to plan it with has got a front line with said nation. for example you had the Army of von Weichs on the maginot. even if no units were assigned there you could plan a naval invaion from calais or brest into britain or anywhere you want. saves you a lot of time with planning. this also works with naval invasions instead of front lines. If you plan your invasion of dover from hambrug, you can simultaneously plan an invasion from bristol into dublin

I wouldnt call this double justification thing an exploit. In fact, it should be a normal feature in the game - you can choose how long it will take to get the wargoal. Obviously, only over certain amount of time, so there still would be a minimum time. This way you could make better coordinated plans etc
Amazing sponsor btw, shame I can only subscribe once

My favourite exploit undeniably was the "Best of Both Worlds" exploit that is now patched. It was infamous for Germany, but it was always funny for Manchukuo to do Obedience and Break Free simultaneously. Lip service city.

aaaaaaaa yes hoi4 love to see it

That cat has great taste in HOI4 TH-camrs. Also Italian Raj is pretty cursed, taking all the credit for the work you did

My favorite exploit is the one where you break the London Naval Treaties by disbanding your bigest navy ships and get a war goal on countries, making it easier to invade the US at the start of the game, works like a charm! (:

Provisional governments. When you need them, you can't create them. But when you can create them, you don't need them anymore. 11/10 balancing.

Hitler: *laughs in blitzkrieg*

Exploit: Ending the Spanish civil war in under a week after being challenged by the dev was *chefs kiss*

Lol dude if the person that already has man the guns “wins”, can u spend the money by PLAYING VIC 2? Nice and British

As someone who’s gotten the game recently and has no clue what to do causing everything in this video to go over my head except the mass breaking of the Geneva Convention over and over again

JuSt Do /AnNeX cOuNtRy
but my favourite exploit is the one where you can switch countries, delete enemy's army and remove every single piece of equipment, every factory and every ship, switch back and do it all in Ironman mode

My favourite strategy as Germany is: Fabricate on east indies, capitulate them, take all states and puppet east indies, then build port in curacao (island in the caribbean) then justify wargoal on panama, set an invasion into new orlean and 2 ports near. In the meantime start doing collaboration goverment in the US (you should get at least 90% when your wargoal is finished). 48 divisions of 7/2 template are enought to capitulate the US (you can use tanks and 10/0 infantry as well). Congratulations! You have all of the US powerful industry in early 1938 or late 1937. Hope you enjoy it :)

Feedback when are we going to get a lithuania to baltic state to Polish Lithuanian commonwealth game?

I've learned so much from this video, and not just the exploits but the base game too. Thank you FeedBackGaming!

Not sure if you covered this one but my favourite exploit is Imperial Federation with Canada as North American Union. You get cores on all of the USA and you can do it by 1940. One of my favourite games I ever played.

the artillery rush is probably my favorite exploit/strat. i have been seeing it alot as of late and am surprised it is working as well as it does

My favourite exploit was to take control of countries by saving games and do achivments like : killing france and poland with no over 400 casualities IT WAS BEAUTTTTIFUL ( and i would like to get DLC too )

I find that Medium tanks perform exceptional better than infantry attack if you can micro. By rushing medium tanks I took out the US, GB, France, and the Soviets by December 9 1940. I've tried rushing war with the soviets and with the allies, taking out the allies first is 2x better. You want to take out France, GB, USA, Poland, then Soviets, and in that order.

My favourite exploit was before 1.9.0 patch where you could rename Spanish and German scripted divisions into 7/2s like S1, then later S2 so you could have 60 divisions and thats how I invaded France with Franco in Axis. Also, if you choosed pre La Le French DLC you could select Franco to form gouverment and join Axis before Spanish Civil War so when you want to conquer Parus before Germany without race with them, and France sending troops in Maginot, you could stomp them in Pirineis

The double fabricate claims was pretty genius. I gotta get back into HOI4, been a few years, lol

Love your videos! Keep the great work up! My favorite exploit is the old when you could have the both german focus trees.

I love how you prevented WW2 with the British and French by declaring on Netherlands and Poland at the same time. I also liked how you screwed over the Soviet Union by going to war with Tana Tuva.

27:15 Nobody ever expects the spanish inquisition

I loved the exploit of using British Malaya's destroyer for insane spotting (since they had forgotten to modify it for Man the Guns lol).

Italy be like: Its free real e-state

Feedbackgaming: welcome! Today I will show you every exploit possible
Paradox: Thank you! We will something to work on now!

My favorite exploit by far is the one where you actually get all of the dlc for free

Man i started playing this game couple of days ago, and i am watching you play... am like, wtf is an agency? XD Why are there so many lines there? How did you get there xD

7:17 We will take the S Pills to reduce the chance of being demonetised

I love the infinite manpower exploit using the duplicate airwings. That was broken, but probably not as much as this cursed save you have created Dave.

Feedback: Let's do all the Germany Exploits!
also Feedback: Let's do Rineland instead of the double focus tree exploit and getting tons of equipement with the civil war exploit!
me: *facepalm* You were the chosen one Dave!

My favourite exploit was the double industry and double doctorine research.
For Germany it was the double focus tree exploit. The one that lets you go down the civil war and the Rheinland at the same time.
Currently there are no gamebreaking exploits, at laste not as the mentioned above.

The focus glitch for Germany is prob my favorite, get a juicy sized HRE for free. That or the researching multiple doctrines/industry trees

The avoid Guarantee is the best one.
it definitely help alot especially in road 56 with focus that you can't do before a civil war

My favorite exploit is the one where you spam out divisions and annex Austria early

I can't wait for you to break the Balkans when "Battle of The Bosphorus" DLC at the end of the year.

I have put a bunch of time into this game and have never won.
I am playing as Germany at the moment and used the war goal exploit on Poland and Dutch east indies and from there I have invaded the USSR and have whipped their asses.
It was touch amd at first but my production was better I have finally figured this game out and how to win.
Thanks Feedback for the tips!!!

"Your videos are the funniest thing on TH-cam." The Macker, 2020 Please don't quote me. ;) Honestly, when I watch your videos I usually stay between 50% nearly continuous laughter, and 50% amazement - "I'll be darned. I had no idea the game worked that way. I thought all the time I put into designing my surface ships mattered. Nope!"

I really like the artillery focus and double justification exploits, thanks for teaching them!

My fav exploit is when you can do the dispersed/concentrated industry glitch and get it all! Keep up the great work love it!

The Observe Country/Take Control of Country glitch is hands down, the most OP glitch in the game. It makes getting achievements 500% easier when you can instantly delete all your enemies’ units and industry.

Marvel: this will be most ambitious crossover in the history
FeedBackGaming:

“I like Walter Model.”
-FBG, 2020

My favourite exploit is the sync war goals one, because I don't have to take a shower every time I do it...
You're dirty Dave, how do you sleep at night? :P

I think my favorite dlc has got to be together for victory because you can manage your puppets and that is a big thing for me.

"Why Poland, because it bothers the Soviet Union" LOL!!!! Rich very funny OMG!

Did not know you could just double-justify like that without Britain guaranteeing. Learning new strats from every single video... My fav exploit is the one, where you could do two types of doctrine simultaneously. ( F. E. : Superior firepower and Mass assault )

Personal favorite exploit? Liberating countries in a peace deal. Not exactly an exploit in the standard sense, cus it is a standard game mechanic. However, it becomes insane because it reduces WT. Pretty much allowing you to get a free annex on both France and the UK by probably 1937. This is the most ridiculous thing ever, especially if we’re talking speed running. Plus, if you keep world tension super low, America is essentially permanently stuck with its debuffs and small army size. God bless this mechanic!

my favorite exploit, though sadly has been fixed, was getting OP divisions by renaming a template into the name of the civil war template

2:14 OMG THANK YOU SO MUCH THIS WILL MAKE HOI4 SO MUCH MORE BEARABLE

My favorite exploit is using your cat to get you more subscribers :D
My second favorite is spamming submarines, I've always loved submarines so much

Just wanted to mention if you capitulate Netherlands too fast you can't puppet Dutch East Indies

My favourite exploit was the exploit of editing the spawn units in the Spanish Civil War with my own template and keeping them after the war by changing the name of the units. This guaranteed a victory as nationalist Spain under Franco 🇪🇸.

..... as if the Reich wasn't powerful enough? HAHA love the video

My favourite exploit is the infinite manpower with planes I believe. btw ur pretty cool ngl

"How to annex Soviet Union in one click" - my favorite video.
