    Playing as Italy i can destroy every country navy. You can build really strong fleet with this country and Benito will be happy for you. Also Italy has very strong focus tree for navy, which is really insane and helpful. Of course dont forget about naval bombers which make big difference between winning and losing. Japan navy would be real threat for everyone, but usually all your construction goes for military factories in 1936-1939, because you have big war with China. If you can capitulate China until 1938 you have all opportunities to dominate the sea.

    I know this is a video made over a year ago. Nonetheless, I have an inquiry. Do you think the overperformance of nightbombing could be related to your testing happening in winter? I am reasonably certain that at least for land combat Paradox actually has different daylight hours (i.e. in europe land night attack boni are worth less in summer). I may tske saturday and do a daylight vs nighttime bombing test in summer and winter. Perhaps the "two air ticks at day, one at night" thing is not as true as it always was held to be.

      It's very strange, I've had strongly conflicting results in my tests. Sometimes nighttime bombing did +20% better in pure damage. Other times it did slightly worse. Using advisors, doctrines†, and modules that alter the night penalty did not seem to change anything. Bombing during summer or winter made absolutely no difference. The results of my tests were relatively consistent, run-to-run and only relatively minor (±5%) changes were observed. The results were very inconsistent, setup to setup, as seen by the fact night bombing sometimes did better. I cannot quite make sense of it. †obviously choosing the +30% strat bombing doctrine instead of the penalty reduction made a difference. Choosing the penalty reduction seemed equivalent to stopping one doctrine short of picking it.

      Depends on your country and what you want to achieve. Motorized are good if you can't really afford tanks, something I do with France. Motorized are also good defensively, so you can use them to protect created encirclements before you close them and keep rushing with your tanks. Also pure motorized divisions are typically faster than tank divisions so you can exploit breakthroughs.

Am I using every foreign civil war as an opportunity to get XP? A mistake I often did with France for example was to not get involved in the Spanish civil war, which meant that I would often lose to Germany as my troops were lacking in XP. However, once I got involved and did it right, defeating the axis alone became much more of an easy task. The game is as simple as getting XP for doctrines and divisions, and making sure you produce enough equipment and divisions to achieve success.

    For scout planes, 2 extra fuel tanks usually works better than just 1. As one reason, with 2 extra fuel tanks instead of just 1 extra fuel tank, you have more freedom to choose from a well supplied airfield. A poorly supplied airfield results in airplanes flying from it suffering from reduced mission efficiency. As another reason, large martime airzones like the Western Approaches airzone to the west of the island of Great Britain often need the extra range provided by a second extra fuel tank in order to have an improved percentage of coverage.

    As UK, you start with 240 interwar tactical bombers. These can be cheaply refit as scout planes with extra fuel tanks and should give you enough for the whole war using only 1 factory for a few years. Replace the bomb slot with the camera and put as many fuel tanks as an level 1 engine can support!

    I would not say the "cheap/high ground attack CAS" meta is busted at all, atleast not in MP where people will stop trading if their fighters are losing in a zone. Against AI or in a test scenario sure, but that's not how a decent player will micro their planes.

      @@MrLizson sure, but my point was even if it seems that you're winning the air war by a few percentage points, you can still incur massive losses for ignoring air defense. Just 10 days of fighting can result in big losses, and you're not looking at the air screen all the time. If you have established comfortable air superiority of at least 70% then you can bomb with anything you want, but until then you have to be mindful of cas IC lost

      @MrLizson 2 місяці тому

      @@balkan-cowboy Yeah your point is true and proven, I am simply saying that in the MP scene with decent players doing the air war, cheap CAS with stacked ground attack is still the meta since the superiority is usually more binary per zone. There will be times in MP where the air will be contested, but not enough for it to justify less ground attack or a higher IC when you average it through out the entire game.

The thing is Paradox was too lazy to code this thing in the game, so if you’re not playing with mods, ICBMs loaded with nukes are not a thing, you need 75% air superiority and a strategic bomber to be in range (not needed to fly over the territory) to drop a nuke.
