Side note: you can get 4 carriers out by early 1939 if you just back to back research them from the start rather than going after the focus so China was a little pointless....
I once turned Yugoslavia into Naval Powerhouse without conquering other nations. That was crazy. Can you turn Yugoslavia without conquering any other nation a Naval Powerhouse?
I did the same as Portugal, they good naval buffs, one of them is plus 10% a faster shipbuilding bonus, you add up the generic naval focus from the bottom left and you pump out ships like crazy.
Okay, some early criticisms. Don't mean to be mean. 1) You should cancel the two Littorio-class battleships; they are too expensive and just barely started. You should consider building four new fast battleships to escort your carriers. 2) You didn't need to create an agency; you get one with an extra spy from your focus tree! Best;
You united the Navy into a submarine fleet, so now your main fleet is called "4th submarine group" (IV Gruppo Sommergibili) which is quite funny tbh. Nice video tho. PS, when you take African colonies, or actually any colonial holdings, you can feed them to Italian East Africa. They have a modifier for non core manpower, and you can lower the resistance in your puppet by giving them guns and men. Then you siphon the manpower making colonial divisions. When I did my Italy world conquest, I fed them everything that wasn't Roman Empire core, they had 17M manpower by the end.
24:28 The reason they forfit the land is because they also don't have enough points You both fight so much over the land that neither of you has any points remaining
I was looking at my UA-cam recap thingy and it said you were my number 1 most viewed gaming creator. I don’t know what to do with that information but I thought if you read it you might find it nice to hear.
I wonder if a Greece naval video would be possible I know they have the ability to get heavy ships i don’t remember how good they were though. Greece taking down Mussolini’s navy would be fun though. Love the videos!
I dont know what it is but there is just something amazing about building a navy (not taking it) yourself and ruling the seas and ocean Now I just need to know how to actually control and manage the navy so I at least have a tiny idea of what I am doing with it
I learned that if you get the air focus cittá dell' aria (just below the air focus) you get a free air experimental research facility, so you dont need to build a new one
It's not bad at all to refit your old ships so long as you don't change their armour or engine. It's a good idea to make bare templates with only those two slots to pump out hulls faster and then refitting them with all your upgraded guns.
One tip i have for researching carriers faster is to improve relations with japan (or any other nation that has carriers) and ask for a production license, it gives a 20% research bonus
Chile, Brazil, Argentine. I would like to see this iteration from one of them. They have good buffs, but when ai triggers the naval arms race and you get the event, its just sad to see their fleet of 20 kayak's
lvl 3 (1940) light cruisers with lvl 2 light guns, 1 anti air and 1 torpedo is my choise for smaller nations if I want naval gameplay. Don't actually need heavy ships or aircraft carriers.
@ yes unfortunately because it’s per combat… Just set your squadrons to different sea zones so they don’t stack together in combat. Just to let you know the penalty is 20% of unavailable planes per carrier over the limit. That means if you have 5 CVs 20% of the TOTAL planes will not be available, if you have 6 CVs it will be 40% of the planes, if you have 8 CVs it will be 80% and so on, and so on…
Doing a Netherlands retreat to Indonesia naval game is pretty fun. It's a more defensive game since you remain Democratic so I don't know if it's good youtube content.
Italy is not too hard to win the Med with as it is…Just avoid a combined British-French fleet if you are set to always attack. Add a couple of converted battleship hulls and you’re golden…
you dont need spotting cruisers if you get radar 2 or 3 on your CLs and because when youre fighting in the med you can just build state radar and spot with that. Also please dont put armor IV on the light attack cls i get that you dont want them to get shreaded by enemy fleets but its worse to have speed lower then 30kn (retreat speed and chance to get hit by navs)
Side note: you can get 4 carriers out by early 1939 if you just back to back research them from the start rather than going after the focus so China was a little pointless....
Fair. I put some comment suggestions
Invading China isn't about the carriers, it's about sending a message
Italy don't need carriers
Next video : Tannu Tuva rules the waves
Wrong channel

Tito Vs Italy 👀
Blablabla

14:17 If I'm not mistaken, there should be auto-upgrade button next to 'save' in ship designer, if that's what you're asking

Greece rules the waves next
Italy & Navy, my 2 favourite things in hoi4 :)
High quality video. Good job on rushing the 5th research slot and planes research.
A Greek spartan navy would be the best navy video! Love the series keep it up!!
An option that would show a pop up asking if you would like to replace the old production when a design in production becomes outdated would be nice.
Ok I’m playing Italy again Curt😂 great game. The China option at the beginning is so smart I feel stupid for never thinking of it myself.
L'Italia domina le onde!( Italy rules the waves!)

I appreciate it 🙏

High Quality Video!
Very nice video! Can you do Sweden Naval Powerhouse next and maybe Finnish? I think they would be quite interesting!
I dont know what it is but there is just something amazing about building a navy (not taking it) yourself and ruling the seas and ocean
Now I just need to know how to actually control and manage the navy so I at least have a tiny idea of what I am doing with it
Really like these naval vids! Can you try going live on yt maybe?
Venezuela naval game after doing, "Can we turn [democratic power] into a NAVAL POWERHOUSE?..... Hearts of Iron 4
France exiled to Brittany is hilarious
Every country is so shocked Italy is competent they don't know what to do.
For Navy builds you need an Air Force. To prevent bombers from taking out your ships.
Nice video but it would have been much better if you delayed until '42 and made some modern battleships, maybe even dab into that pykrete CV
The floatplane cruiser is always good idea, some people make it cheaper to min-max but you did build planes later so it made sense.
do byzantine naval powerhouse if you dare
So greece 😂
@@Curtwhogames yes but i think you will have to conquer for cores and shi
"Welcome back to Hearts of Iron 4 💫💫💫💫"
I'm a big ole fan of these navy focus videos
I learned that if you get the air focus cittá dell' aria (just below the air focus) you get a free air experimental research facility, so you dont need to build a new one

Recently got back into HoI4 and I’m a noob now, but love these videos ❤😂
that unconquered Brittany free France is just like that Gallic village that could not be conquered by ancient Rome in Asterix and Obelix comics
That was crazy man, kinda weird to not see poland being invaded and no barbarossa tho o.O
Signal Training is the best Naval Spirit.

I personally would love to see a UK Naval game
You should do a navy guide!
Chile, Brazil, Argentine. I would like to see this iteration from one of them. They have good buffs, but when ai triggers the naval arms race and you get the event, its just sad to see their fleet of 20 kayak's
Brasil navy sounds cool!
SO smart to declare on China. Thank you 👍
Naval Carlist Spain recovering the Americas?
another naval superpower video yay !
You can get a free agency through Focus Tree and if you go histroical, you can still do superheavy battleships which shred any fleet
never thought of attacking china as italy. its something i will have to try.
Hell yeah a new Navy video 💪💪💪
when Turkish navy?
lvl 3 (1940) light cruisers with lvl 2 light guns, 1 anti air and 1 torpedo is my choise for smaller nations if I want naval gameplay. Don't actually need heavy ships or aircraft carriers.
Thanks for the advice , il try that when I do smaller nations
@@Curtwhogames no armor!
Alternative universe where Italy was useful in WW2😅
You can actually get more than 4 CVs, but just don’t stack them in the same squadron. It’s 4 max per squadron!
And if I have 2 squadron with 4 carrier and both engage can I still have the penalties
@ yes unfortunately because it’s per combat…
Just set your squadrons to different sea zones so they don’t stack together in combat.

Why didn't u pick the Admiral that buffs capital ships? Just why???
Nice! Can you make Sweden a naval slaughterhouse?
From the one anchor icon in the upper right corner you can look at losses and kills to date…
doesn't matter what country your playing because you'll still rule the waves!
You can get a free Air facillity as Italy if you complete 2 air focus of Italy. Dont need to build Air Facillity next time as Italy brother.
you should try black ice navy. i had a lot of fun doing that even if it's really difficult
Nice video but can you do a naval tutorial? Would be nice 😊
If you turn dodecanese into civilian oversight you can get a collab on Greece and then, you can basically let them occupy greece
Challenge: play a unique czechoslovakia game... and have fun!
Can you turn Czechislovakia into a naval powerhouse
Doing a Netherlands retreat to Indonesia naval game is pretty fun. It's a more defensive game since you remain Democratic so I don't know if it's good youtube content.
FINNALY A NAVAL HOI4 UA-camR

Hi curt, what's the music thats playing in the background of your videos?
Italy is not too hard to win the Med with as it is…Just avoid a combined British-French fleet if you are set to always attack. Add a couple of converted battleship hulls and you’re golden…

Mussolini greatest dream come true
Viva l'iterno Impero
Idea: Ethiopia naval powerhouse next
you dont need spotting cruisers if you get radar 2 or 3 on your CLs and because when youre fighting in the med you can just build state radar and spot with that. Also please dont put armor IV on the light attack cls i get that you dont want them to get shreaded by enemy fleets but its worse to have speed lower then 30kn (retreat speed and chance to get hit by navs)
I love your navy videos
