Brazil with only 2 slots

[Mekathron]

With only 2 slots you cant research more than industry and infantry and that is it. Also you get the 3 and 4 slot in 1937 and this really gives you no way to develop anything else different.

[Immortalis]

Not all countries must (let alone should) have 6 research slots.
Unlocking additional slots within the first couple of years means you have "lost" 3-4 techs at most.
Brazil is neither the first nor the only country to be in this situation

[AdmiralPiett]

With the greatest respect, brazil was not on the cutting edge of technological advancement in the 1930s and 1940s, so it shouldn't be a research juggernaut in the game.

I wonder what heart is speaking for you: the nationalistic passional one or the one governed by the mind, the objectivity and realism?

I could say COlombia should have more than 2 reseach slots too, but that's my passionate heart talking. My objective heart knows that 2 slots is fair as COlombia didn't have either a lot of inventors or help from the state to fund the projects of those few (one of them is Carlos Albán, the true forefather of the Blimps, he gave to von Zeppelin the blueprints to build the blimps we know as a farewell gift before enlisting as a Conservative Party Military Officer in the thousand days, 1901-1903)

be wary of the passion but do not get comfy with the reality either.

This is a game. Portugal and others can do a lot of things. This focus is already terrible.
You just cant play the game with only 2 focus. Only option is make infantry, justify until US borders and conquer him. I´m trying to do different but dont have the research for that. Not only that you cant even make naval, tanks or planes, need to go to focus tree and lost and entire year for that.

Brazil cannot become a great world power in 1937 based on its starting condition in 1936. Sorry.

Yes it is a game. BUT it is a HISTORICAL grand strategy game

Based on developers… Too many countries have too many dev slots. Maybe new war efforts will fix this and only majors will have more slots in the future!

So conquering the whole of South and North America as Brazil doesn’t count as “being able to do a lot of things”?!?

I understand that you want your nation to be overpowered by Brazil in 1936 simply did not have the industrial development (nor, for that matter, the political stability) to be on par with European powers.

Beside, even when you have 5 or 6 research slots you are hard pressed to keep up with everything that you could research. The entire point of the system is having to choose what to prioritise. For example, as Germany or the USSR researching naval tech isn’t exactly a priority.

Everything was completely fine before mods for tanks, mods for planes and mods for ships. With all this mods you need another slot. This is obvious.
You talk about naval germany, but you are wrong. Germany had the best submarine of his time.

[profane]

It's stupid that even after you unify south america you are still stuck with 4 research slots, so i just got a mod that lets me add or remove research slots as i like.

That's actually a myth. The british T class and the american Gato and Balao classes were far more capable than the type VII or type IX submarines deployed by the germans, it's just that the germans had more of them.

Not as flashy as Midway but still extremely important. US Submarines were very effective at doing their job, far better than the Axis did.

Exactly.

Honestly this thread shows how TOA has brought out of the woodwork a lot of South American fanboys who don't actually know that much about WWII History and are now all butthurt that their nations in the game aren't overpowered enough (they actually are pretty overpowered as is rn but they won't admit it)

[hannibal_pjv]

Yeah! USA is OP as ****!

[Rišo =)]

true

Dog 3 Slots is more then enough to do industry, infantry and one other specialization. 4 Slots is more the enough to do bassically everything that isn't navy. Get overyourself. Not even Russia gets 5 research slots. SO why should Brazil suddenly get 5 ? Minors don't get alot of research slots because they lack the type of massive industries that would give them a true edge in a field. Think about it. You have about KruppStahl, Warwick Docks, Enfield, Boeing, Lockheed, Mitsubishi, Tankograd. But have you heard anything similar for brazil during WWII ? No. It's a minor nation. Learn to enjoy what the means.
