watch out for agility tho

I miss old hoi4 navy

Suppose you're on a game show, and you're given the choice of three doors: Behind one door is a car; behind the others, goats. You pick a door, say No. 1, and the host, who knows what's behind the doors, opens another door, say No. 3, which has a goat. He then says to you, "Do you want to pick door No. 2?" Is it to your advantage to switch your choice?

thing with making fighters is that you need them cheap and effective, which means only like a couple of designs are "good". What you're making is more expensive and less effective than ai planes

Adopt new panzer doctrine because larp Kappa

cinder parrot

yeah but why would you not want tanks

opal nymph

Tanks good

cinder parrot
#

Tanks gobble up your fuel

dusk knoll

as germany youre probably going to have more production than manpower

Which belongs to the navy

opal nymph

Okay? And?

I have a ton of refineries

It is good if you hate Britain and wanna incinerate them before invading Poland

Plan Z gives you the Bismarck and Tirpitz a focus later which is all I need

But what does a man need 100 destroyers for

dusk knoll

i like playing historical germany so ngl i just spam subs and steal soviet navy and then invade britain after

Screening bonus i guess

or cruisers

should i stay in the axis w/o joining the war or leave the axis

opal nymph
dusk knoll
#

which ones

opal nymph
#

Strengthen kriegsmarine, plan z, the battleship one

dusk knoll
#

isnt it one 35 day focus and 2 70 days

opal nymph
#

That way I get Bismarck and tirpitz

#

Maybe you're right, idk

dusk knoll
#

its 140 days

cinder parrot
#

SPECIAL forces ahh doctrine

dusky burrow
#

2x50% for infantry weapons and 2x50% for artillery, as well as 15% attack and 10% breakthrough to infantry whenever you're in bewegungskrieg
By contrast adopt new panzer doctrine gives 2x100% for medium, 1 year ahead + 100% for heavy tank, 10% coordination, and 10% air superiority bonus in combat (plus 15% attack and 15% breakthrough for armor)

opal nymph
#

Eh, I get a 3/4 built Bismarck and Tirpitz

azure walrus
#

when you can't even say... my name...

dusky burrow
#

and with a tank division that's going to be effectively halved since only half your division is armor

dusk knoll
#

ok isnt trade interdiction and cruiser warfare for germany better??

#

because cruisers are already super good

dusk knoll
#

cause of production cap

cinder parrot
dusk knoll
#

yeah but if you rush mp38 and get max efficiency cap its not worth it to switch

dusky burrow
fair horizon
azure walrus
#

will the british guarantee if i justify on franco? its fascist on fascist crime so i thought not but i would like to know for sure

dusky burrow
#

eventually you do need to switch tbh

dusky burrow
#

and if you do want tanks then you get better guns too

dusk knoll
#

because if you get panzer doctrine and use it on the 1940 tank before you go into war you can get production cap

#

1940 medium i mean

dusky burrow
#

you really don't need anything more than interwar medium

#

yeah 1940 hull would do a bit better but not 30% better

#

to get 30% improvement you look into tank modules

dusk knoll
#

its way faster for base, has 100% reliability off rip and has 10 extra armor points

opal nymph
# fair horizon Honestly goated focus

You know what makes it even more goated?

If you design a 1936 battleship hull with the name Bismarck Class, you get those being produced instead of the actual design the focus wants

#

Or is it Klasse...

#

One of the two

opal nymph
#

Wdym silence

#

Did I say trade secrets or something

dusk knoll
#

i mean for the mp43 you can slowly switch off of it to eventually get production cap but still

#

also ur mainly going to be using the infantry bonuses on support equipment or machine guns anyway
