    During war, my German fleet was completely destroyed except a super battleship. Then I was concentrating on land warfare and when I took a look on naval battle, all was victory. My super battleship alone destroyed more than 100 ships including aircraft carriers.i was too much proud.

    @Canada1994 Před 4 lety +2

    The details of the 1935 Anglo-German Naval agreement was that Germany could have a surface navy again BUT the combined total weight of the ships in tons CANNOT be higher than 10% of the total weight in tons of the Royal Navy which was the largest navy in the world at that time. This resulted in Germany focusing on building ships that were small (with the exception of the Bismarck and the Tirpitz) but had a large number of heavy inch guns on them

  • @patrickstar5136
    @patrickstar5136 Před 5 lety +4

    I had a game as Germany when I got Spain to join me and somehow Italy took Egypt. And with that I hat basically the entire british and french navy trapped in the Mediterranean. That was really fun taking them out piecemeal when they could not hide or heal

      I think having all the allied countries join makes a very large amount of sense. Should also really increase the shit outta world tension as what is literally the two strongest nations in game just formed a bloody faction as a warmonger with their leader.

    Easiest way to dominate the seas as Germany is to just spam out German Battleships because somehow Battleships are meta.

    8:05 this is caused whenever you tell a navy to cancel a repair, it will send a pop up to confirm you want to cancel the repair. If you select this, the navy goes to never repair and you have to put it back.

    It was actually rather interesting and fun to watch a naval run. But I have to say, every time I try to do a bit more navy, in combination with having to control the army, it gets quite tiring and tedious. Now I may just go for a run where I just hold my borders while I go for naval dominance.
