The giant wakes has got to be one of the coolest sounding focuses
"I fear all we have done is to awaken a sleeping giant, and fill him with a terrible resolve."
@@natesiress1057 If only they re added either a focus or decision chain to have the bombing of Pearl Harbor actually occur. I get that in the old US focus tree the "Pearl Harbor Gambit" focus was just a dumb thing to do but I think it could be done well.
For example like an event could happen in April 1940 that says something like: "President requests the Pacific Fleet be stationed at Hawaii" and the one option would move the fleet to pearl harbor as well as give a small war support boost and the other option could cost a PP penalty of 50-100 and/or lose some war support.
For Japan there could be the regular "Secure the Philippines" focus or one called something like "Neutralize the American Threat" that would be locked until after the American event and would give them a decision to trigger a scripted port strike mission that simulates the actual Pearl Harbor attack, puts them at war with the US and the Allies, and gives them a temporary naval invasion bonus against the places they invaded historically. Ideally the AI would also attempt to wait until around December 1941 to do this.
For the Americans, upon the completion of the Japanese focus, they could get an event detailing the attack and the option to acknowledge the pop up would say "A date which will live in infamy", put the base war support at like 90%, give a buff to carriers and carrier aircraft, and maybe even add a decision to start an event chain for the Doolittle Raid.
Idk I'm just spit balling here but it could be a neat idea.
@@topphatt1312 maybe someone can make a mod that adds that
in addition, maybe you will need to "create" the nuclear bomb to have the focus to bomb hiroshima and nagasaki
Hello Bittersteel! I am a big fan of your videos and I have a challenge for you. Play as the Soviet Union historically but when Germany attacks you you need to immediately retreat to the Urals where you are about to capitulate and try to make it to Berlin before 1946.
This is interesting. I've done this once. I neglected the Romanian front. The Germans pushed me till Moscow Leningrad and Stalingrad line. (Somewhat historical one). Then I slowly started to grind the Germans and started to push them back. Made use of lend lease scams from the middle east countries.
What kind of fantasy is it?
@@kaansaki8265 I think it’s doable
nah the real challenge is to play your best game possible as Germany then when you declare war on the USSR save the game and switch to playing as them
@@BigMackWitSauce I did this once before
I just realized “the giant wakes” is NOT about very large ships leaving large wakes but instead about the “giant” of the US economy and war machine “waking up” and becoming active. This makes much more sense. I am mildly stupid.
mildly might be little bit of an understatement
Fr
"I fear we have woken a sleeping giant... and filled him with a terrible resolve." Isoroku Yamamoto
I have a really cool idea for how you could generate your own disaster saves. First, play as any given country (an allied country would probably give the best experience), then right before you are about to defeat your enemies, use console to switch to them and try and beat the AI that was once you.
Edit: the downside is that i dont believe you could do this with ironman mode since you would need to use console
So basically 4D chess?
VOID HOW ARE YOU DOING
That would be nice
I've been playing hoi4 like this to give it more difficulty
It works well
Hilariously, this is what Bokoen1 and ISP did... kinda. They played a game as Denmark, completely stomped over Norway, sent a save to Alex the Rambler, and asked him to save Norway, lmao
At the start of the game, I like to also start permanently exercising my navy & airforce, as the USA you will rarely want for fuel and I like being able to fill out my naval doctrines completely by the time the war starts (naval training is still broken lol)
If you switch to export focus to save up some oil for fuel you can get all naval doctrines by 1939 by training the whole navy with naval reform spirit
In regular difficulty without strenghtens
@@fabriziocecchetto181 If you build infrastructure in all oil states from the start (TX and CA are always my first), the oil stockpiles remain full the entire time when training everything. Don't need to move off of free trade until conserving resources in the late game.
Lol, you can supply all the allies solo, easy even running everything constantly
For anyone who wants an even better focus Order:
New Deal -> WPA -> Agriculture Act -> War Department -> Neutrality Act -> Selective Training Act -> Fair Labour Standarts Act -> Arsenal of Democracy -> Giant Wakes -> (Anything) -> Federal Housing Act
There are a few things to note:
1. Only putting 3 focuses between the once that get rid of the great depression means you'll have 2 periods of 10 days where you aren't doing any focus beyond the focus progress you can stockpile, as a result of the 230 day waiting period.
2. This order puts Selective Training Act as the first focus after the 1936 election. This makes it increadibly diffiult to get the representatives required. You'll need to time the farm subsidies and medium lobbying effort such that you can finish the farming subsidies once, and the medium lobbying effort twice in the time between the election and taking the focus. You can also build a Military factory in north carolina and just barely not finish it, such that when you get the quest, you can nearly instantly finish it.
But overall this get rid of the great depression 120 days sooner, and the isolation economy law 200 days sooner.
My favorite is to go down the communist path a bit but then once I finish the wealth tax and desegregation and all that, end up not flipping communist, and instead fire Browder and put in the democratic reformer.
This probably isn't as strong as just embracing communism but, it does mean I can roleplay a USA that fixed segregation, Jim Crow, wealth disparity etc and yet still remained fully democratic and did the giant wakes path etc etc.
@@JB-xl2jc ??? thats so cringe
@@kungfu3299 Do you understand what that word means?
@@JB-xl2jc Yes, and if I didnt, your comment explains it perfecty
@@kungfu3299 Ahh, to be 14 again. I miss the blissful ignorance. Have yourself a nice day.
The war support from pride of the fleet and the base war support from selective training act do not interact when under 10% war support. The USA starts with 0% base war support and doing selective training act when below 10% war support sets it to 10%. So regardless of if you have a pride of the fleet or not when under 10% war support you will gain 10% war support.
Also, I see you followed the comprehensive guide and not the guide for getting to giant wakes the fastest.
Well, so much for my understanding of mathematics
what?
@@obama69890 if your base war support is 0 and you set it to 10. The other non base war support modifiers have no impact on your final war support.
Then you can set pride of the fleet back and it goes to 15
@@feldspar1496 it goes to 15 regardless of if you unassigned the pride of the fleet. The pride is not base war support it is a modifier to it.
I've owned hoi4 for years and played it on and off, but the game never 'clicked' until I saw your ultimate germany video. The vast amount of tutorials out there will tell you *what* everything is, but not *how* to use everything. Not to mention I seemed to have to relearn the game from scratch every time there was a new major patch. Learning hoi4 can feel like being given a shovel and told to use it, so you begin to dig, but then the game slaps you because you were meant to use the shovel as a blunt weapon.
So I want to say thank you for these videos and I hope you do more. Would be very interesting to see some of the alt-history paths for these nations, or some truly meme-y stuff to really show off how much the game can be broken. One video I'd also love to see is the best ways to crack a tough defence, for those situations where a newer player can't seem get any green bubbles during an attempted offensive.
I found that you can get cores on all of Austria-Hungary as Poland. First, you let Czechoslovakia form Austria-Hungary, and then you can unify with them through the Habsburg Path. This is quite difficult to pull off because Czechoslovakia needs to be fully independent to form Austria-Hungary. One method I found was to annex all of the territory required to form Austria-Hungary. After going to war with and letting Czechoslovakia occupy the territory required to form the nation, you can then puppet them in the peace conference. You can then unify with them once you unite with Bohemia through the focus tree. That is how to get cores on all of Austria-Hungary as Poland.
Amazing.
Yeah same just like uk,you can get core on brazil,Spain and portugal if portugal do monarchist, then spain do unite the iberian peninsula, then france do monarchist after that when capitulate doing franco British, and you can do imperial federation
@@Kelvin_Dnl Yes, it can technically be done, but if you were to do it in Ironman Mode, you would have to have deal with a LOT of RNG.
i don't know if it was in vanilla, and i apologize in advance if it isnt, but wasn't there a way to gain cores on all of the USA as Britain with some monarchist gimmick of letting your wife rule the USA and then doing the imperial federation?
@@falkeunit british monarchists gives your wives the kingdom of usa as puppet.
you can do it as blackshirts and give canada all of the usa. Also blackshirts allowes you to form eu. + the spanish-porto-french trick, you core: dominions, usa, spain,porto brazil,france,lowlands,germany,italy.
I tried to console commands something else:
Estonia forming scandinavia. Poland annexing austria hungary. having lithuania then coring all of estonia and poland. And restore the P-L commonwealth. Didnt work though with estonia, giving no scandinavian cores
Is it possible for you to do a combat guide? A guide that talks about combat and how to win battles etc, I think it would help new players win more wars and be better players
I think he made a division guide, but it might have been before NSB. Would love to see an updated one though, I always struggle.
Its really just divisions and attacking from angles
Kinda hard things change every update, right now cas is king
agreed
Well, I learned to finally play the game and beat the enemy up myself after watching your soviet and german guide in NSB. Then figured out how to handle america my way using some of your tactics from the soviet and german guide. And beat japan within 42, and germans within 43!!! But still gonna watch the guide
Love your guides. Thanks! Only 200+ hours but learning fast thanks to your content.
Ive been waitong for this guide for months, i appreciate this greatly
I LOVE your videos dude, thank you for making them fun and entertaining
33:38 "we are going to hit Nagasaki"
HEY I'VE SEEN THIS ONE BEFORE!
Something to not but the selective training act is stronger is you have above 10% war support as instead of setting war support to 10 it will add 10, so I believe the pride of the fleet exploit you explained isn’t necessary and intact only weakens you in the long run
no it doesn't. if you have above 10% it provides no additional war support.
however @Bitt3rSteel is playing unnecessary games with his war support. base war support and modified war support are not the same. as long as you have less than 10% modified war support, STA sets your base war support to 10%. so you do not need to unpride your potf to get an "extra" 5% ws. it doesnt work like that. the 5% from potf is modified above the base. it is not counted in the base. USA starts with 0% base war support. as long as your modified war support is 9.9% or below, while having gained no base war support (ie you did no war propaganda or whatever), you will always get a 10% spike in war support.
@@kvlt1349 Thank you, this is a really important point and it's unfortunate that so much attention in the video is devoted to a mistake - you do need to care about whether war support is over 10% or not but this is just an either/or proposition. Bitt3rSteel clearly misunderstood why this was important and didn't make the connection even after noting that the world tension bonus still got applied on top of the 10% base.
@@kvlt1349I was about to say that. BASE war support. Modified war support is stuff like world tension, pride of the fleet, ect..
Base war support is diffrent. If have 5 base war support, and some focus says it sets it to 10, it gives 5 war support.
thank you bittersteel your style of warfare where you use armour divisions to slice and encircle the enemy has became a part of my style. It's a whole hell of a lot cheaper then wasting manpower on a AI frontline order.
Infantry as an anvil and armor as a hammer is easily the funnest way to play with ground forces.
@@stonedtowel As poland i used this strategy to destroy soviet russia. It's funny how much they got destroyed.
@@stonedtowel i also used spies since they're SUPER OP.
lol, I love the Bureau of Ordnance joke... 🤣 For who don't get it, the Navy Bureau of Ordnance designed the Mark 14 torpedo used in WW2, and it was MASSIVELY flawed, including 1)It tended to run about 10 feet deeper than set. 2)The magnetic exploder often caused premature detonation. 3)The contact exploder often failed to detonate the warhead. 4)It tended to run "circular", failing to straighten its run once set on its prescribed gyro-angle setting, and instead, to run in a large circle, thus returning to strike the firing ship.
and 5) The Bureau of Ordnance repeatedly refused to acknowledge that there might be anything wrong with their torpedo, ignoring field reports and blaming the servicemen for incompetence instead.
Bro thank you so much, im having alot of trouble figuring out this game. I dont know how much of all this is still current, but you have taught me alot of things i did not know. I had so many army groups with no commanders and jusy a mess of nonsense by the time the war breaks out im left completely screwed when the action actually does hit. I like this game, im just reallly nad at it
Hi Bittersteel! Been a huge fan of your videos! They are awesome, helped me get several achievements and basically learned the game with your videos (paradox's tutorial really sucks).
Got a bit deeper into this and I think there is a better way. I like to do Neutrality Act after Agricultural adjustment, because it reduces your base war support by 5. Thing is, you don't have any. Then go over to War Department, Selective Training Act, and send attaché to China. That gets you to 30 I believe and you can take Giant Wakes after that.
Around 22:56 "Who doesn't like Dwight?" Haha there was a whole slogan for Eisenhower's Presidential campaign that was "I like Ike", clever if intentional!
Congratulations on hitting 100k man!
Congratulations on 100k
this video has really helped me with my gameplay thank you.
Bitt3rSteel: The Wichita class sucks, delete it unless you have an emotional attachment to it
Me, from Wichita: Okay ;-;
Hello again Bitt3rSteel, got another challenge for you:
1. As El Salvador, Reform the Central American Federation and Conquer Mexico and the Caribbean (Free nations and Euro colonies.)
2. Have as many Civ and Mil factories as you can.
3. Build railroads for each and every town and port.
4. Build 4 Carriers and Produce as many Carrier Recon, Fighter, and Bomber planes as you can.
5. Use Marines for Naval Invasions and Rocket Artillery for both Land Warfare and the Invasions.
6. Have OP Support Equipment if possible.
congrats on 100k subs you deserve it
19:00 200 pp for 5% war support?
The art of the deal
And then you learn he didn't even get the +5 from the shenanigans as pride of the fleet is not base but a modifier :)
Love these guides
Exactly what I was looking for 👍
Gosh it is a LOT to absorb for sure but at least I've been exposed to it so actual gameplay comes along, I may not remember it all but some of it I'll recall having heard about then perhaps return here and look UP what's going on and go from there. I'll probably set my first few tried on "easy" mode just to get my head around things and to be forgiving as possible for my many mistakes I'm sure I'll make, but it's all a learning process....then once I feel I've got most of the basics down, increase difficulty to normal.
Thanks so much for the guide!
also, thanks for making the Enterprise the "Pride of the Fleet" -- w/connection to Star Trek, that means I'll probably be able to remember this trick :)
Yoo, congrats to 100K
Amazing video! :D
Can’t wait for your content on blood alone, fingers crossed it releases within the month!
Congrats on 100K subs!
I dont think you've mentioned this in you video. USA has a coastal capital. maxing out the port in the capital will make you able to supply your bases overseas a lot better. Works for all nations with coastal capital
I love to see that you pick Mark Clark, a fantastic book that I read in college for a history class was from Texas to Rome, I also feel a little prideful that he led the Texas 36th division
He framed MacArthur though
At my birthday what a beatiful gift thanks mate
If anyone tries this after By Blood Alone, please design a heavy fighter. Just give it highest lvl 2 engine, fill it with heavy machines guns, self sealing fuel tanks and as many armour plates as you can. They are extremely expensive but they will not die. I've done it playing on historical, regular against fully strengthened axis, and by the end of ww2 (was 1945) i shot down over 30k plans and lost less than 1k. The only problem is that you can start to produce them only by 1939/40 and you will probably have less than 500 when u join the war, but the attrition war WILL be in your favour. (I've used them in europe specifically but if you remove one armour plate and add extra fuel it will work for the pacific too, even if it will have a little less defence so you will likely take a little more losses against japan)
4:58 you could book another heavy ship, deseletc all the screen ships, then drag your mostly finished cruiser after the new one, et voilà, job done. PS: the little triangle after the number of the ship, click on it while pressing shift and all the production tabs will be shorted.
"when a focus completes people resent you for some reason" that is a very accurate representation of american politics XD
Ok my biggest takeaway from this is making one infantry division with just one unit and training like 100 of them at once and then swapping them to your actual template, that is one of the smartest things I’ve ever seen
Except you literally don't have to do any of that nonsense to do it and he left all his islands exposed for a SP run in which the AI will annoy him by taking those islands.
36:34 "...we're still struggling a little with the Royal Navy..."
[Admiral King Liked That]
Hello bittersteel, I love the videos, this one reminded me of the US in Kaiserreich, I would love to see a democratic US Kaiserriech walk through, since I cant beat the Civil war
I always wondered why most people tend to select dispersed industry over concentrated industry and I was curious as to why? I remember Feedback saying it was better for expansion, but you aren't expanding as the U.S. and the extra growth isn't as important as Bittersteel said that he wasn't going to be rushing arty or planes. So why does dispersed seem to be preferred over concentrated? I always reach the max cap for the next gun or arty when I play before I get the new model, there's bonus production and when you research the max tech you can make more of it faster. Also as I'm at it what conveyer belt is the best and why?
Dispersed also provides dockyard output which is good for any navy build you do. It also reduces the amount of damage your factories take from bombing.
It's got to do with the production retention rate. Concentrated is better for producing bulk equipment like infantry equipment, but as you are constantly researching upgrades to these assets it will take too long for those upgrades to benefit from the additional productivity of concentrated industry line because you need to spend months working your way back up to the productivity you had before you see any benefit from concentrated.
Long story short: Production Growth
Because of the production efficiency retention.
I feel it is very usefull when you are constantly improving your technologies because you can produce the new stuff more quickly. If you have no airforce it is also quite good to stop the enemy strategic bombing (in my experience it is not a big threat). But sure, if you play soviet style just producing a lot of old guns to field the biggest army possible, then concentrated is indeed way better. Honestly going either concentrated or dispersed is not that important, just follow your hearth where it takes you.
This has been a huge help. But when finally recruiting army, did I miss the infantry template design? I caught the national guard one in the beginning. But cannot find the other template.
Gr8 vid as always, would live to see a review of hex of steel(turn based hoi4)
the way to use selective training act for rushing giant wakes is first to rush neutrality act (after agri adjustment act) and only then do selective training since neutrality act reduces (base) war support but you can't go below 0% so doing it before selective training is the way. after you send a attaché to china and when the japanese generate some more tension you can do gaint wakes by 1937 or early 1938 if you took your time and did some other stuff. also no need to unselect a pride of the fleet, it's a complete waste of PP.
"Who doesn't like Dwight?" Grandpa served in the army from '45-48 and that's my namesake.
We need some new guides like this for By Blood Alone bc the naval meta and air meta both had changes
I do enjoy the guide videos. Maybe one on Tibet sometime, or the tiny countries around it? ; )
Luv the US! Mainly because they’re my country but so many legends, MacArthur, Eisenhower, Halsey, Nimitz, and a chance to rewrite history.
I dev P40 Warhawk and B17 and later the P47, so early on just build only the naval bomber planes.
first usa SP win thanks to you
I love how "stupid peace deals" in HoI4 end up looking basically like Treaty of Versailles
The 2 other things I cheese right at the start of a USA game is merging the entire navy and exercising it (you can do this indefinitely and never run out of fuel) which gives you massive amounts of naval xp for designs and doctrines, and aircraft exercising with the fairly large air force and using the xp to rush down the air doctrines
I do like a communist USA game though, and being able to send air volunteers is great
The P-47 Thunderbolt, the 1940 level of heavy fighter, was used very little in the Pacific theater of the war. Compared to Japan's planes, they were way too slow, bulky, and clumsy, and they didn't have great overseas range. My town built them as well as LSTs (Landing Ship Tankers) and it is very neat to see them represented in the game, even if the LST is hidden behind a generic research name and icon. We even have a flight capable P-47 and a working LST in town.
A little bit more history, the LSTs were crucial for the D-Day invasions, carrying tanks and other equipment and machinery that was needed. It served as the LCVP (also known as the Higgins Boat) for those items I mentioned above. The P-47, while it had less confirmed air-to-air kills than the P-51 Mustang, it likely killed much more due to its bombing capabilities and if the two ever got into a dogfight, the P-47 would *likely* come out on top despite the P-51's faster speed, and longer range because it would likely empty its rounds into the P-47 but the P-47 would sustain all those hits. A P-47 was once hit by many hundreds of rounds of German fire, but the German did run out of ammunition and was forced to let the pilot go and even saluted him by rocking his wings.
Sources:
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_S._Johnson
www.wearethemighty.com/popular/p-47-thunderbolt-versus-p-51-mustang-which-legend-wins/
The P-47 was good at high altitude and had excellent diving speed. Using the plane strengths, the 348th Fighter group had much success with P-47's in the South Pacific.
I'd like to see the non-historical USA guide. I certainly struggled with that in the past
As an American, obviously I almost exclusively play America. My only problem is if I play without historical Ai and don't go fascist I almost get bored cause in my games there's almost never any involvement in Europe and all the fighting on land. Naval's fun, but I was never good at it until recently.
At 17:00 you could also don't select a new focus, the Fair Labor Standards Act should get active around the 15. Mar if i remeber correct. Played too much MD and KR mod the last months.
Do a lend lease only challenge pleae❤ Love your content🎉
If you take requests, would be fun to see you do a playthrough with Belgium on Road To 56. Lead our waffle kingdom to glory! 🇧🇪
But…but….but…Wichita class ships are so cool looking
Did you keep the 50W infantry or when you said convert the 2W infantry "into the template we designed" what was the design? Sorry to ask, but I am following your advice on several countries you have done videos for. Thanks in advance.
The only hoi4 guider i trust
One rather extreme thing I do as the USA is convert all battleships that are not the Pennsylvania class into converted battleship carriers. A bare bones one with a cheap engine, AA, and 1 deck slot. I do this because I usually play a heavy pacific game where Carriers are most effective due to lack of airports. And cause torpedo bombers are amazing
"Canada is always friendly" have you seen their facist leader, he's like a slightly friendlier palpatine.
Canada's Fascist leader looks like a evil Walt Disney.
I know it's been said manty times before, but it would be enjoyable to see you do a save as Germany, making it real strong but maybe no cheese, then just before starting operation Barbarossa you switch to the USSR and see if you could win.
The reason they hate you after passing the bills to improve the great depression is because in u.s politics a bill could be passed that seems like it is solving a issue (it could be solving the issue) but a party will throw in things that further their agenda which angers the opposite partily
Good video
NGL the senate and house mechanic is one of the reasons I love playing the US. Just always have a medium lobbying effort going and you're fine. The one time you don't everyone suddenly decides to hate you lol. It's a good handicap!
Thank you so much i had problem playing as the US this helps so much
I have a question, Bitt3rSteel: which expansion pack do you have that's given you the option to research damage control, fire control, and the different battery ammunition types, torpedo launchers, and active sonar? I have the starter pack off Steam plus No Step Back, and I'm not seeing an option to research any of that
Man the Guns is the dlc that adds all the navy stuff you mentioned
If you shift click when adding new production it auto adds to the top of the list.
Most recent run as USA I had fun going to town against the Japanese and Germans by beating them both up by ‘42
Do another USA guide with the new update please!
I don't even play the game nor do I know what's going on, but it's damn entertaining to watch
It’s definitely worth the purchase!
Haha yeah i once was like you
@@johnqvd1924 I own the base game but without all the DLC is seems pretty empty
@@dahakaprod6519 definitely get some dlc. You don’t need to get all of them either. For example, just don’t purchase Battle for the Bosporus, or even Together for victory (though personally I would pick up the latter). All the other dlc are pretty much essential though imo. Also, wait until steam has a sale (which happens relatively frequently). You can save a ton of money that way.
I always just create a 5xp "training brigade" of 1 infantry and pump them out. Once my military industry can support a large army, I just convert them to a proper template immediately.
does this generate more XP than the 1div training that he does?
Hey bittersteel, do you think you could do an updated Finnish him guide? A lot of the strategy’s you layout don’t work anymore
And an other very good guide, can you do on thé big baguette country it’s should be very interesting
Idk if I’m just lucky with rng, but I rarely have to do lobbying efforts. I always just seem to have enough support to do the focuses when I want to.
I love this guide for a game I cant play!
Love you
4:04
Uncle Sam is disappointed you didn't put all you're mils on trucks, those so many neckbeards could have drove those!
Truckin' is life
Didn't think I'd ever witness an image as cursed as the HOI4 map on its side.
You could build a naval base on the eastern side of Manila so your supply won't have to go through the South China Sea.
That heavy crusiwe isn't going to work in a future patch the meta going to move towards light cruisers as you will no longer be able to mix arments
Thanks for the video! can you tell me your research order?
I have couple hundreds hours in HOI4 but i dont understand many things. Thx for talking about meta and why something is meta. Most of the statistics of units/hardware/ships/divisions i dont even know what it mean.
Also if you could tell what shortcuts are u using? Doesnt you need to give an order to naval invade for each unit separatly if you want it in different tile?
Hey i like your vids.Can you do a rise of the falance spain video?
Hey Bitt3rSteel,
This strat still holds up in BBA. The aircraft tech is a bit different but that’s the only difference. Also one thing I saw in the video is no warning to not accidentally delete the whole navy like I did 😅
Damn, that's a big oops
Cruiser design doesn't work anymore as you aren't allowed to intermix heavy and light medium batteries.
Could you make updated achivment guide for portugal "Macau my Day"
Hey, i know it's been a while since this video was posted, but what do you know about the US's "Diplomatic Protest" event? It lets the US demand territories owned by powers outside of the Americas, and I can't seem to find out how it is triggered. Any help would be appreciated.
Maybe i wasnt listening but when did he design the main infantry template he uses at 31:28 ?
Hi - just wondering how you get the infantry brigades to train so quick mine seem to take months? many thanks for the vid!
Train minimal units, deploy them and then change the template to the actual unit you want.
How do you get the options for damage control, fire control, etc.. The naval research thing only shows ships for me. I haven't played this game in like 3 years lol
Part of the Man The Guns DLC
You need to try soviet union with Alexey rikov 0 consumer good, op industry, all generals this man is op you need to try man
I like Guides much more than Desaster Saves!
I mainly play R56 since I find it more fun with the researrch and extra paths. It's just become default for me. Would this still work? US is pretty much unchanged in 56 I think
You should make a new naval meta / naval guide
Hello BitterSteel, what is the background music you use? I quite like it
I think it's just the normal game music.
