------------------------About Me------------------------
My name is Hammo and I stream on Twitch! I play a variety of RTS and strategy games, but my favourite game by far is Hearts of Iron IV.
I love this game and it's complexity, strategy and historical focus, but these are also reasons people can find it hard to get into Hoi4. The endless spreadsheets, statistics, buffs and debuffs can be overwhelming without someone to show you the ropes, which is where this channel comes in!
I will be creating and posting beginners guides, tutorials, walkthroughs, tips and tricks videos, just about everything I can to get you playing and enjoying Hearts of Iron IV as much as I do!

⛴️ Wanting to know how to use the naval designer? Guide here: czcams.com/video/2GLVkfbHFoU/video.html
Okay, I've been playing HOI4 off and on since launch, and I love how detailed this game gets, but I've never really gotten around to actually understanding its complexity. I've tried many guides to get a decent grip on the concepts, and while I know the basics, you're the first one who really got me to have some insight in how division design works (from another video), and who's given me an actual understanding of where to start tackling the navy. You say in this video that you're planning to do a more in-depth navy guide in the future; speaking to you from the future, I can tell you that I would very much love said guide, and I hope you might be getting around to that pretty soon. I wish you the very best with this channel; I know how daunting it can be to keep churning out high quality content for a relatively small amount of subscribers, but I can only beg you to please keep it up. You deserve every subscriber you're going to get. You have a way of explaining things which is concise, easily digestible, yet highly informative without ever becoming boring - and a pleasant voice to listen to, to boot. Thanks mate, looking forward to seeing more of you, and to watching this channel grow!
Aw thanks so much! That's one of the kindest things anyone has said to me on here, and I'm just really glad I've managed to help you!
I'm pretty much finished with the beginners guide series at the moment, and my next one was going to be covering the DLCs, including man the guns, so stay tuned!
Man these are the first tutorials that make sense, and don't waste a bunch of time. Thank you so much for making these!
Thanks so much 😃
This has been the easiest and simplest explanation I have watched for HoI4 navy deployments and I have watched many trying to get it all. The way you setup fleets and TFs with the temple for auto deployment! My normal sub deployment is all laboriously hand done in 1s and 2s in fleets and after around 15 fleets it gets confusing (1 fleet per zone as opposed to 1 fleet with TFs)
Oh yeah that's going to change your life! 😂 Glad it helped! I've got a naval designer guide coming soon too 👀
Thank you so much. This video was amazing and exactly what I was looking for. Keep up the good work!
Thanks so much! I'm glad I was able to help out! ☺️
Going through and watching a lot of your vids, they are very helpful! I have recommended you to my friends who also suck at the game and you have been a huge help! Thanks!
Thanks so much for that! I'm just glad to be able to help
This is the tutorial I've been looking for, all the unsexy stuff proper navy management, thank you.
Thanks so much! Also wym the navy is sexy 🥰🥰
I watched a lot of your tutorials in non-chronological order and I have to say you do an awesome job. The build-up, some humor, practical tips, you thought about it well and executed it well. Thanks for making these. I understand the effort as I do something similar but for Hell Let Loose ;)
Thank you so much! I really appreciate it 😁
Awesome info, thank you!!!
Glad it was helpful!
I played this at launch but forgot or never cared enough to learn the game, Now that i want to play i gotta to let you know that this video tutorial is a great resource for me to learn, a small channel but i can tell a ton of effort goes into these! Thanks mate.
Dude thank you so much!!! ☺️☺️
Thank you for spending time on the navy. Too many tutorials blow this off. I haven’t bought any DLC until I prove to myself I will play the game enough to earn buying more content. A carrot to motivate myself to stick to it and learn this beast. So I’m not willing to ignore the seas. And as the great philosophers of our time, aka the Village People, said …
“In the navy
Come on, protect the motherland
In the navy
Come on and join your fellow man
In the navy
Come on people and make a stand
In the navy, in the navy, in the navy”
The navy is one of my favourite aspects of Hoi4, glad you think so too!
this is an amazing guide
And this is an amazing comment ❤️
Good to know info thank you
Happy to help!
Amazing.. it is the first time i see a tutorial about hoi4 and i understand everything.. I dont know how you do this but thank you Master.. 👋👋🙏
You're welcome padawan 🙏
Thank you! The navy still seems confusing, but you made it much easier to understand!
Glad to help!
Hard to find a tutorial without the Man the Guns DLC. Thank you!
You're welcome!
The whole beginners guide playlist of mine is without the DLCs :)
As a new player... Thank you. I have a basic understanding of most systems now, minus the navy. This has helped a lot. Bathtub spam for meeeeeee!
Hahaha thank you so much! I'm glad to help, and I've got plenty of videos on the navy when you're ready!
Best tutorial I've seen yet. Love that you have split it up into sections and that you don't muddle the lessons with unnecessary min maxing, just the essentials.
Thank you! Teach a person to fish and all that lmao
Good video, sad the playlist ends here as there is a lot more to learn about the game before knowing how to play
Don't worry there's plenty more on the way!
@@hammotimee Well they are very good but at this rate you will be finished explaining everything by next year :)
@@misterblort slow and steady king!
Great stuff. Question: can an air wing on patrol over water act as spotter for a naval strike force? W/o dlc
Yep! The naval strike mission has a certain base level of spotting, and your coverage over a region affects how great/small it is. So tac bombers are really good for that purpose 😁
before watching this i didnt know a thing about navy now after i can sealion britain as germany and know how to actually use my navy
Hahaha that's what I love to see 😄
Any similar concept to elite/reserve air groups for naval task forces? I want to keep my old/slow hulls out of my task forces yet still auto deploy new ones from reserves as built?
You can set that up by assigning a design the different icons (eg skulls, battery, airplane icon) in the designer, and only having the newer ones be allowed into your task forces. Great idea though! I'll make a short on it ;)
Finally i learn the basic of navy after 256+ hours, welp time to learn the naval designer of man the gun
Hahaha good luck! I have a video on the naval designer too 😄
Been watching your beginner guides and found them very helpful, you've earned yourself a subscriber. One aspect that isn't covered in air force or navy for beginners is carriers. How do you use carrier planes? Do they "equip" to their carrier? Help, please :)
Thank you! I'm glad I've been able to help!
Ah yes, I had planned to come back to that, I might make a short on it. When your carrier gets into a naval combat it will automatically deploy it's planes into the battle.
However, you can move your fleet to a naval tile (select the task force and right click to where you want them to go) and then use your carrier as a mobile airport. This is great if you want CAS support on an island in the Pacific for example!
@@hammotimee Islands in the Pacific was exactly my issue, as well as naval invasions into places like China. Could use that CAS to help me secure a beach head, as I'm struggling to make one right now.
Thanks for your help, I'll be looking out for that short :)
@@gr5420 perfect! Give that a red hot go and see what happens! Make sure you've got engineers on your marines divisions too, and I like to have one or two carriers that are just full of CAS that I can move around to support my naval invasions :)
can you tell me about light cruiser rule i really curious abaout that, because i want tu make cheper ship for my navy
Check out this video czcams.com/video/2GLVkfbHFoU/video.html&ab_channel=HammoTimee
I am sure Mussolini when presented with this sub spam strategy, he replied "Great idea!" In other words, it's a ridiculous exploit. Defeats the whole point of Italy building a fleet-in-being to force Britain and France to keep ships in the Mediteranean Sea.
Hahaha doesn't work as well as it used to, but still effective, and easy for people while they're learning!
How does the production come into play? So your production is not only dependent on the number of dockyards/factories assigned to the production line?
czcams.com/users/shortsdO-lCAMHkgA?feature=share
Ah sorry I meant production cost. In one of your later videos you mentioned it tells you about the timing of the equipments, so thanks! Assuming its the same with building factories @@hammotimee
How exactly do I set up the "4:1" ratio tho? I've played HOI4 a while but never touched the navy and am trying my hand at the USA. I'm very lost on what exact buttons I press here and there.
Yeah it's a bit tricky. There's no game mechanic to do it apart from the scales button, which splits up your whole task force into evenly distributed ones. But mainly you kind of just need to count your capital ships, multiply by 4, and make sure you've got that amount of screens in that task force
Earned a Sub (no pun intended) Was playing goodboi trying to adjust and the game has a way of saying "Haha go commit crimes on behalf of your chosen country"
Merchant marine? You mean TARGET PRACTICE
haha thank you!
@@hammotimee Haha, am an eco boi at heart xd
I'm confused why they're called screens and capital ships.
I thought capital is only 1 special ship for the capital
Nope! Capital ships are the big boys with big gun, or carriers. Screens are the lighter ships that protect them 😊
thanks for this. the navy interface is not very intuitive.
Happy to help!
(Hoi4) Guys help I accidentally set entire baltic see into watermines MY FLEET BLOWING UP HELP!!!
Press H
Interesting accent, "future" - "fyu chah", "player" - "pla yah". Where are you from? EDIT: Nvm, your profile says Australia, mate.
Hahaha fair dinkum cobba
If they fixed the horrible UI it would be easier
It just takes some time getting used to 😀
Is this tutorial outdated yet?
Nah still pretty relevant without the DLCs!

Woof
