inaccurate. it's 1939 for me

wicked haven
#

You need to ask the Germans to help

#

I don’t think unit strength estimation counts air power or naval support

#

Does landing invasion support allow naval assets to bombard coasts without a naval invasion taking place?

oak charm
#

i have no air power or naval support

#

i have a ton of subs tho does that count

wicked haven
#

No

grand wolf
oak charm
#

because i suck at this game :3

#

i have no idea what im doing

wicked haven
#

Your tanks will suffer in mountains, you have some flat land to the east so you could position some there

grand wolf
wicked haven
#

Whenever you are fighting you want to have total air superiority if possible

#

Since killing them expends more manpower

do you have a better template then

opal nymph
grand wolf
#

In a 36width that also has motorized or mechanized infantry

opal nymph
#

36 width tanks are great too

#

I had to do 8 tanks, 10 motorized/mech to have good enough org now

oak charm
grand wolf
#

You mix rangers and mountaineers for pushing through mountains and forests

opal nymph
#

18 width is what you start with usually

grand wolf
oak charm
opal nymph
#

Ah

#

Yeah, you want those extra 3 battalions

oak charm
#

so 9/0 is a good option

#

not even any arty?

opal nymph

Also you can get decent special forces

grand wolf

opal nymph

Yeah

oak charm

so what about tanks then

#

is there a meta template for them too

But against the ai a cheap medium tank with high soft attack will work fine

Also keep the balance of power on the side of the pope

oak charm
grand wolf
#

Right side of the focus tree

#

And then do "monarchia d'italia" when you have 25% support for non aligned

#

Then "power to the king" when you have 50%

#

i dont think i have the dlc

grand wolf
#

Send a ss of the focus tree

Can you put custom names on ships?

Yes

You can rename a ship, and give it a custom name while its being built

Okay okay

You arent getting naval dominance if your ships are sitting in port lol

You need spotting ships

I've played as both japan and italy with the new naval system

Im just saying, my escort carrier patrols wiped everything

Nothing that crossed their path survived

tulip thorn
#

I havent even got enough navy breakthrough to research escort carriers yet

opal nymph

They are cheap, hold 40 planes, but even my laziness saw them prevail (I couldn't be bothered setting air wings, it was 2 wings of fighters, 2 wings of navs)

tulip thorn

They wipe enemy screens.

My patrol task force is:
1 escort carrier
1 heavy cruiser with floatplanes and depth charges (and dual purpose secondaries)
8 destroyers with seaplane tenders and depth charges
0-2 light cruisers prioritizing light attack

I pushed a lot with my infantry, I didnt make enough tank divisions (though I have tons in storage) so I might just make space marines

They killed all my forts and then managed to finally push into Manilla.

Or rush 2 underequipped stacks for 2 naval invasions

# woeful night Yup

To be honest, I know that people are mad because of it's high price but considering the massive content that is game changing like the templates, I think that it's reasonable.

I mean i dont hate the updates i love the new dlc its just my japanese runs sucks the boat i can't breach the communist with the great wall blocking my path and even if I rush and win against shaxi i still lose the intial assaults against china like i really need like 2 naval invasions to push myself to win but my god its annoying with a lack of guns.

Since thats where they're home province is

So me and a friend were playing multiplayer and our ally Austrio-Hungry swapped sides and we died so he asked if I could load our save and remove their units. While doing that I found the nudge button and opened it and somehow broke all of the states

#

In other words every state is numbered

#

There are no state names

Just the numbers

woeful night

I need a lot of tanks but japan armor sucks even if I have like 5 or 3 tank division and going to bike infantry drains support equipment to the ground

I can’t remember

china also had a much better industry

they could potentially outscale japan

i wasnt able to take a screenshot but on my italian run when i finished the french i tried doing bittersteel italian tip with a twist i set naval patrol on the british channel and I demolished the british navy

#

all it took was 4 2-3 aircraft carriers and a bunch of naval torpedo bombers

#

Can someone tell me what triggers the Japanese mini focus tree that leads to surrender? I had it happen in my game in 43 when they were still in China and i hadn't dropped a bomb on them or invaded a home island

#

The funny thing is that they instantly surrendered, so I as the USA changed gov in a peace deal. Then the new democratic Japan joins axis anyways like two days later

i don't understand how naval supply work. my ships are crying that they don't have enough supply. I have high level naval bases nearby. i have naval supply hub built on said base. i have enough convoy and trains. i have full oil. What do you want game tell me??????? build trains on sea ????

Are light cruisers still the meta for naval with the new dlc?

Patrol fleet were for strike force

meager light

#

So enemy ships would be spotted and your strike force fleet would go and attack

meager light
#

for example you might have owned the congo but a state of it is being occupied by the uk

fierce mortar
#

i know we say that the meta is light cruiser, but in my opinion, how people do naví can be very flexible, and will work. you can make high light attack dds. you can make good fast battleships. you can pump put cv-s if that's what you wanna do. they are all good options

meager light

basically you need to control everything you officially own

never been confident with navy but in my prc game I’m at war with democratic japan and the US and I’m destroying their fleets with the stolen british fleet and some subs

and naval bombers

#

it’s 1953 and I’m still enjoying it which says enough

tulip thorn

Destroyed the entire british fleet

meager light

also really like the HQ system although I think needing a level 8 port is excessive

sudden thistle

I’m using 8 carriers now in a fleet

#

Overstacking is a myth

I did a historical japan game a few days ago but I think it’s a little too easy that you can fight the allies until 1948 without the americans ever joining

#

I just ignored the philippines until I’d destroyed the british and dutch

tulip thorn
#

Unless your like me and like the larp

meager light
#

well yeah but I do think it’s a little OP for the US to not intervene if you don’t declare war on them

#

because the allies are focused on europe anyway mostly

meager light

the only navy I really fought was Australia and DEI

You can get 1k soft attack on just normal infantry

Thats the only reason to invade anyone as japan

I don’t know but you don’t need it with enough CAS and artillery anyway

historical japan is OP now

sudden thistle

Bloat 🔥

it used to be that the only thing going for them was their giant navy

Wait for the US to be updated

They will be even more OP

yeah but all you needed was a bit of naval supremacy and good marines

I’ve defeated japan as the soviet union so many times because you just need naval bombers or adequate CAS and then some subs

that’s assuming they even put their navy up

Do you have them set to engage at high risk or always engage

fierce mortar
#

of course. always engade, and in the naval targeting, everything is enabled

tulip thorn
#

I remember having the same thing happen before all the time

#

and idk the fix

#

I would just set them to high risk, and it seemed to work better

i understood the navy before the dlc, but now something broke things

i'm suspecting that i have supply issues. but literally 3 level5 railways are going out to my ports in britan, and all of them all fully utalised. i'm not sure what else i can do

i'm also building those new naval suppy hubs, maybe they will help....

Ships no longer gain supply from ports
