Realistic France
-
This mod developpement is stopped, i’m currently working with a friend in a much greater mod to overhaul France an many aspects, so stay tuned for the futur release !!!
- Recomanded to play with "Historical Immersion Event Pack" mod
This mod tend to overhaul France in many ways in order to be more competitive in game while being historic.
In HOI4 France is not a very useful country for the allies and when you play germany it is a highway to Paris, but with my mod not anymore.
I think it’s a shame that France litteraly surrender when Paris is taken in game, the battle of France lasted 45 days of which French army destroyed 50% of tanks and planes of Germany and saved the BEF in Dunkirk.
The french still fighted in the Rhone region against the Germans and some even after the Armistice.
Paradox keep nerfing France and making non-historical and stupid paths, so this mod try to correct that.
In the 1930’s France politics were complicated and Primes Ministers and governements often collapsed…
- If you form the Popular Front Léon Blum will replace Pierre Laval
- If you still have the Disjointed Governement Idea, Léon Blum’s governement will colapse and Edouard Daladier will replace him in 1938
- If you still have the Disjointed Governement Idea, Daladier’s governement will colapse and Paul Reynaud will replace him in march 1940.
- Disjointed Governement surrender limit is now -15%
- Party Names will now changes with the leaders and their names were all corrected
Industrial
- France now start with way more military factories (30), it allow to rearm quicker and it’s more realistic.
- Some regions like Alsace-Lorraine, Paris or Rhone Valey will now be very industrialised.
- France economy can now compete with others majors.
MilitaryFrance was the first military power after WW1 :
- Technologies fixed (France begin with the S35 medium tank in 1936 for example.)
- Templates fixed to be more realistic
- AI will now produce each types of tanks
- Tank designer errors fixed (NSB)
- Realistic, Maginot line (added Belgium forts, Mareth line and Alpine line)
- Added a suppply depot in the Alps, so France dont get wrecked by Italians
- Added national spirit "they shall not pass" which give small bonuses
- The allies AI will now actively intervene in Norway and Belgium when Germany attack
Others- Added an event in Free France to get a bit more Military Factories to be more fun
- Australia don’t have impassables areas anymore

-COMPATIBLE WITH NO STEP BACK !!"Despite our overwhelming numerical and material superiority, French troops counter-attacked in several places. I can’t understand how such brave soldiers, fighting in various places at one against ten (sometimes even one against thirty), still manage to find enough strength to go on the assault:
it’s simply amazing ! I find among the French soldiers of Dunkirk the same ardour as that of the poilus of Verdun in 1916. For several days hundreds of bombers and guns have been pounding the French defences. However, it is still the same thing, our infantry and tanks cannot break through, despite some ephemeral local successes.
Dunkirk proves to me that the French soldier is one of the best in the world. The French artillery, so feared in 14-18, once again demonstrated its dreaded effectiveness. Our losses are terrifying: many battalions have lost 60% of their strength, sometimes even more! By resisting about ten days to our forces, which were significantly superior in terms of numbers and resources, the French army achieved a superb feat in Dunkirk that is to be commended. It certainly saved Britain from defeat, by allowing its professional army to reach the English coast."
