Mod «Their Finest Bruh (TFB)» for Hearts of Iron 4 (v1.13.1 - 1.13.4)

Main multiplayer mod used by the famous youtuber/streamer Bokoen and WoW streamer Tommykay.

Currently being developed by ThatGuyFromCollege, Vik and Packerfan.

Mod right now would not be possible if not for the work of previous mod leads Cho King and Loweee. RIP Swimmy. Huge thanks to Peef and Spitfire for their blood, sweat, and tears to make this mod.

Also credit to:

NOTE: This mod is not designed for singleplayer. This mod is made for large multiplayer competitive games. Small improvements have been made to the AI in recent patches, but they still will not make good divisions or take full advantage of the mods features. They have had their focuses scripted out until roughly the start of Barb and the start of the pacific war. This is not a full quality AI, but should allow for easier test builds/minor amounts of solo play.

Bug Fixes:

• MEFO Bills should once again correctly get removed when going to war
• German Trade Treaty with Sweden now works with the Puppet Norway
• Fixed an issue where Vichy couldn't do their focus tree due to Petain weirdness
• Fixed some Vichy flavor events not working
• Fixed Yugo Railways from focuses to reflect updated states in Western Italy
• Fixed a ton of things relating to Characters in Mexico
• South African Infrastructure focuses no longer put their Infrastructure into dead states
• Fixed everyone being able to use the Turkish straits, now only Bulgaria, Romania, and the soviets can
• Fixed a bug where the Soviets could use their Tank Designer on Support Equipment which would super level the MIO

General Changes:

• Sweden has been returned to the Generic Focus tree for now
• Sweden now starts on Free Trade

• UK AI should now longer attack USA if you pull out of the treaty
• Romania AI should now try to join the Axis more consistently
• Italy AI should try not to pick a fight with Yugo or Greece till France is capped
• German AI should barb slightly later in 41
• Finland is no longer forced to join the Continuation War day 1 (Ahistorical, but needed for balance)

Balance Changes:

• Buffed the range of most Range boosts in MIO's to 10% from 5%, as there is much less range than pre MIO's which severely warps Africa balance
  - MINIMUM_NUMBER_OF_FACTORIES_TAKEN_BY_CONSUMER_GOODS_PERCENT = 0.1 -> 0.05 -- The minimum number of factories we have to put on consumer goods, in percent.
• NIndustrialOrganisation.FUNDS_FOR_SIZE_UP_LEVEL_FACTOR = 0.8 -> 0.9 -- How much each level mutliplies the funds for size up
  - NIndustrialOrganisation.FUNDS_FOR_RESEARCH_COMPLETION_PER_RESEARCH_COST = 500 -> 400 -- Funds added to MIO when the Design Team has completed a research, multiplied by research_cost in technology template
• Nerfed Finish SISU spirit by 5-10% in most areas
• Nerfed Finish Army Spirit by 5% in a number of areas
• US Consumer Goods Debuff from Great Depression increased

Air Changes:

• AIR_WING_MAX_STATS_ATTACK = 300 -> 500
• ACCIDENT_CHANCE_BALANCE_MULT = 1 -> 0.75 -- Multiplier for balancing how often the air accident really happens. The higher mult, the more often.
• COMBAT_DAMAGE_STATS_MULTILPIER = 0.3 -> 0.4
• NDefines.NAir.BIGGEST_AGILITY_FACTOR_DIFF = 4.0 -> 5.0 -- biggest factor difference in agility for doing damage (caps to this) -- Vanilla is 3.0
• COMBAT_MULTIPLANE_CAP = 2.5 -> 3 -- How many planes can shoot at each plane on other side ( if there are 100 planes we are atttacking, 300 of our planes can shoot )
• DISRUPTION_FACTOR_CARRIER 6 -> 10
• DISRUPTION_SPEED_FACTOR 1 -> 1.5
• DISRUPTION_AGILITY_FACTOR 0 -> 1
• DISRUPTION_ATTACK_FACTOR 1 -> 2
• ESCORT_AGILITY_FACTOR 1 -> 2
• ESCORT_ATTACK_FACTOR 1 -> 2
• DISRUPTION_DEFENCE_DEFENCE_FACTOR 0.5 -> 0.75
• All Concentrated Industy Techs grant 5% more damage from strategic bombing
• Strat Bomber Agility from 5/7/10/12 to 5/6/7/8
• Jet Strat Bomber Aluminum 50 -> 55
• Jet Strat Bomber Tungsten 20 -> 5
• Jet Fighter Aluminum 20 -> 30
• Jet Fighter Tungsten 30 -> 5
• Jet Tac Bomber Aluminum 40 -> 50
• Jet Tac Bomber Tungsten 30 -> 5

Buildings Changes:

• Military Factory HP 8 -> 4
• Civilian Factory HP 5 -> 4
• Military and Civilian Damage from Strat Bombing 1 -> 10
• Rubber, Steel, and Synthetic Refinery HP 4 -> 10
• Rubber, Steel, and Synthetic Refinery Damage from Strat Bombing 1 -> 0.1

Strat Bombers should be able to do more damage to kill regular factories, while Refineries should be more resilient. Initial testing suggests Refineries should be twice as hard to hit, and factories should be many times easier to hit.

Additionally, Fighters should be doing more damage attacking and killing each other, but lose a bit less to accidents. This will help a bit with plane bloat later in the game.

Carriers have a slight buff to their damage in battles to make them better.

Navy Changes:

• NAVAL_STRIKE_CARRIER_MULTIPLIER = 1 -> 1.5 -- damage bonus when planes are in naval combat where their carrier is present (and can thus sortie faster and more effectively)
• Cruiser Armor now grants 10/20/30/40% Torpedo Damage Reduction
• Cruiser Armor now grants 5/10/15/20% Torpedo Crit Chance Reduction
• CARRIER_HOURS_DELAY_AFTER_EACH_COMBAT = 8 -> 6 -- how often carrier planes do battle inside naval combat
• Lowered the damage of the light cruiser guns from 5/10/15/20 to 3/6/9/12
• Added .25 piercing to the light guns (Destroyer main gun or the thing you can put in the top row on ships that gives Light Attack) (This will make dedicated Light Attack cruisers suffer a bit less against their torpedo cruiser counterparts)

Other Changes:

• Lowered Heavy Water Raid requirements from 50% to 30% resistance and network strength from 50% to 40%
• Border Wars removed from blocking Soviet Marshals
• Bluchr semi-historical path now mutually exclusive, but grants the same doctrine as Shaposhnikov. Also grants an extra 5% org loss when moving and 5% army attack speed factor (will be more changes in the future)
• Border War win will now grant 100% cost reduction on land doctrine instead of 50% for both Japan and the Soviets, and if soviets win they get a 25% armor bonus (Japan already gets a 100% bonus from winning)
