I might try to go a UK run

Battleplanning is fun

peak mason
#

Won’t go perfect or good but like I’ll try to learn on the way more

heavy vigil
#

they cant be the same

ancient marsh
#

its like a 1 or 1.5ic cost difference

heavy vigil
#

you dont have the same weight

#

carrier fighters weigh more

ancient marsh
#

also carrier fighters are cheaper here?

#

for like

heavy vigil
#

i told you

#

now its the other way around

true needle
# peak mason I might try to go a UK run

if you do the UK I would recommend making lots of carriers and sub hunting destroyers, your convoys will get raided A LOT by the germans so you want to make small fleets with 1 carrier and 4-6 destroyers in them to hunt down submarines

if you do convoy escorting use the cheapest destroyers possible, literally nothing on them but whats required, ships on convoy escort suck at actually killing submarines but when you go hunting for them using strike force on low threat the enemies subs start the battle already spotted making it very easy to kill them

heavy vigil
#

carrier fighter is significantly more expensive for worse stats

ancient marsh
#

thats also an overkill fighter design for the ai

true needle
#

all that matters for convoy escort is the shear quantity of your screens, full screening efficiency means your convoys wont be sunk

ancient marsh
#

you can drop the armor and even an hmg and still tear through ai

true needle
#

and torpedos SUCK at hitting destroyers

peak mason
#

What modules should I keep upgrading

true needle
opal nymph
#

Casey, have you messed with carriers this patch yet

pearl stirrup
opal nymph
#

I need to know something

true needle
#

if you get research bonuses for hulls use them, otherwise dont prioritize researching new hulls unless you have nothing else to research

pearl stirrup
#

at all tbr?

#

Lol this DLC is funny. I play as Communist China and every warlord rejected my offer to become a puppet except for the big China, they accepted to become my puppet LOL

#

But carriers are OP in naval combat

jaunty timber
#

any tips for japan beating china

true needle
# peak mason Ok thanks

actually wait nvm do research them, just try and get research bonuses for them, the sooner you research them the sooner you can make them

jaunty timber
#

any new templates or doctrines that are good

opal nymph
#

Attack ships that cant attack you back

true needle
#

but I would say avoid researching better destroyer hulls, the extra slots arent all that useful

jaunty timber
#

all i know is encircle as much as possbile but usually i find myself in a manpower disadvantage and china outnumbers me

craggy trail
jaunty timber
#

even if they have worse stats i can break through

ancient marsh
true needle
#

but for things like submarines, cruisers, and maybe battleships/carriers researching them is very important

more gun slots for cruisers means more light attack which means more screen killing

better submarine hulls have lower visibility making them much harder to spot in a battle

pearl stirrup
#

i love how china stans 40+ division on beiping while still reinforcing ports. manpower printers

daring light
#

anyone here is getting a glitch that as italy you cant use the global market acess

ancient marsh
#

and it gives you hyperflexibility

opal nymph
#

Ive only played 1939 China and USA

ancient marsh
#

obviously underwhelming given the cost

#

but its prolly got the most fleshed out content

opal nymph
#

I solely wanted to try out escort carriers and my tiny patrol fleets took out enemy patrols while my strike force dealt with anything heavier

grand wolf
#

How tf are you supposed to beat japan as China

novel otter
opal nymph
ancient marsh
#

it looks easier than it used to be from what ive seen

novel otter
#

i didnt make anti air and still won with ease

opal nymph
#

That's what i learned in 1939 start date

grand wolf
silk fern
#

very intresting that my entire faction is bald

grand wolf
#

I have negative guns

jaunty timber
#

division meta is 18 width inf with support art and engineer right?

opal nymph
#

Otherwise hold river line, go immediately for attack buffs

ancient marsh
#

china has way less horrible modifiers

novel otter
#

Put 15 mils in guns, 5 in artillery, 5 in support equipment

opal nymph
#

That is what Bitt3rsteel says

ancient marsh
#

didnt their old army debuff have like -50% attack and defense

jaunty timber
#

yep

ancient marsh
#

and it took until like 38 to fix

quasi shoal

ts boutta be light

grand wolf

#

Delay the war until 1939 and basically just concede all the land, you should still win by 1941

ancient marsh
#

idk it was some absolutely massive number

#

hold yellow river

opal nymph
#

So theoretically can be removed in 180 days

ancient marsh
#

literally every tile on the lower end is mountains or hills

novel otter
#

they will capture shanghai, all you need to do is encircle it and kill the troops over and over without taking the ports

peak mason
#

Should I merge navies

ancient marsh
#

cause you need 300xp total

opal nymph
ancient marsh
#

and the old china tree was very helpful by only giving like 50 mil xp

#

across several focuses

opal nymph
#

Because Marco polo

#

So you strengthen as fast as Japan

ancient marsh
#

yeah generally

opal nymph
#

Also you got the army defense genius

#

Who you dont have access to anymore

#

You also had a focus for daily army xp

ancient marsh
#

dont remember that part

opal nymph
#

It was like the first army focus

#

.1 a day

jaunty timber
#

so what is the meta now

#

is it just 9 inf 1 art batallion

#

like as japan what is a good cheap unit to hold the line against the mass of chinese divisions

ancient marsh
#

9 inf flat

#

china is not counterattacking against you unless you let them

#

mengjiang and manchuria also are pretty decent at just holding the line in the northwest

and?

it was kind of like my front line

fervent harness

ah

worn hollow

they all went to the maginot

hybrid galleon

now since your at war with everyone it should allow you to do all the borders at once but it might force you to have to put different units for each border

its a really weird thing tbh

I plan on putting a tank in some of my cavalry divisions to help reduce losses via armor, but I need a lot of them quickly, should I do light tanks so I can make more of them but have less effective armor meme tanks or should I do mediums?

would anyone know why my ships have no supply when theyre docked in my homeland at peace

although ive been getting the out of fuel pop up when i still have fuel so idk if im just bugged or what

hybrid galleon
plucky sedge
#

so im the uk and i have my fleet exercising in the north sea, i still have 40 days of fuel but they have no supply

hybrid galleon
#

also are your ships in port or a naval base?

plucky sedge
#

the naval supply hub thing

hybrid galleon
#

are they docked there?

fickle oriole
#

anyone know where the button went for requesting colonial manpower?

plucky sedge
#

yes

hybrid galleon
#

oh ok

#

so my theory is that the ships Exercising is zapping all the fuel but then when they docked you get oil back but it rinses and repeats so they dont have a stabble supply if that makes sense?

grand wolf

I now have 23 divisions as China

hybrid galleon

oh thats your problem

viscid stirrup

the port is over loaded with ships

1940 tech plus marine doctrine dropped it to 35

fervent harness
opal nymph
#

35 for a 72 division invasion

#

Works for me

tired jackal
#

literally only reason why japan worked well for me because how fast paced it was

ancient marsh
wary sparrow
#

and germany if they go alt hist

ancient marsh
#

it would be more bearable if the naval invasion cap wasnt so low

fervent harness
#

if it to play italy, well you can sort of ignore navy by building navy bombers so, yeah civs and mils are okay

wary sparrow
#

also austria and hungary

ancient marsh
#

so you could actually make multiple pronged attacks or campaigns

opal nymph

Tiny little buff

ember tapir

Worked fine

dusky burrow
#

I liked being able to carpal tunnel syndrome my way out of lengthy naval invasions, unfortunately I can't do that anymore with this DLC. I'm pretty sure paratroopers also got nerfed too? But still should be applicable for paradroppign France

opal nymph

Tad slower than before

You will bounce if you have like 2 18-widths on each port plus a reaction force

It was funny being able to send 72 divisions onto the shores of Normandy

dusky burrow
#

also you don't need to defend the Adriatic since that's closed off

wary sparrow

ngl this map of europe hurts so much to look at

fervent harness

no just make a template like 4 calvary smth and set it to garrision

you should be okay

fervent harness
viscid coyote

it doesnt make sense that less divisions require the same amount of time to plan though

ember tapir
#

i love that i cant get mad when losing at this game because half the time i dont even know whats going on

viscid coyote
ancient marsh
#

the overall length to prepare naval invasions should be higher than what it was but if im invading with 1 division it shouldnt take 40 days lol

fervent harness
#

i just do a no tank run with jap for the most part

viscid coyote
wary sparrow
#

why even make tank divisions when you can throw 100000 men at the front lines hrmmm

fervent harness

it works obv until u have to defeat us

dusky burrow

then that's smth

dusky burrow

although a mountaineer build can be fun too

viscid coyote

I did spaa space marines because they give armor for your infantry divisions so they take less damage

fervent harness

i feel like it's reasonable though

true needle

and regular infantry from latvia pierces my tanks

fervent harness

40 days might seems a lot but

if cavalry has one thing going for it, its that they are fast

If you don't have marine doctrine

You also have Thailand

1 day

not 1 day

opal nymph

It is

tired jackal
#

7 day naval invasion

#

for my old thing back

opal nymph
#

But I do like my realism

dusky burrow
#

And that was a very complex one due to the tyrannies of distance

#

And they also attacked a numerically superior force

fervent harness
#

Hmmm fair

#

I'm not sure about superior though

#

Didn't they have the us backing

tired jackal

argentinia wasn't really
