Strategic bombing is... cringe, let's be honest. But what if Bomber Harris was right? Can the UK defeat Germany in HOI4 using ONLY strategic bombers?

The massive PP cost for Munich was because you are doing appeasement on the anti-appeasement path
That makes sense!
What is that flag🤣
Now time for naval only el Salvador
You cruel monster :(
Wouldn’t it better for Mengoku?
@@Aldrahilldo it
@@Lady_Evelyn Naval only Switzerland or riot
@@AldrahillDestroyers only
The game started going a-historical because you de-colonized which is considered non-historical by the game, and causes the AI to do non-historical things.
THat makes sense!
Any idea on how much that affects it? Like I know ahistorical retains realism-lite (compared to random country path game rule settings) and with that adapts to other countries focus paths. I imagine it is something like?
@@ryankline1164 no idea the extent of its effects!
You forgot about strat-bombing enemy airports! Bombing the airports means that they cant contest you, as well as can kill small amounts of planes at a time (you ARE bombing runways). Something to keep in mind for next time.
Super heavy tank only Manchukuo
Sadlynsuperbheavies are now support companies :(
@@AldrahillYou can make divisions that are just support iirc.
China Black Ice?
Hell*
But pleeeeease as a MP warlord game again!
7:00 My first thought was that you should have focused on the airfield first and maybe civilian factories. If there is no Airfield, you cannot field any planes, and if there is no civilian factories you cannot repair the airfield.
Does that make sense in practice, or not?
You'd have to constantly have bombers on those tasks, and they can just send in planes from somewhere else, so it doesnt matter.
Better off focusing on mils and civs, sicne that way they cant produce any planes to shoot you down in the first place.
He doesnt know how percentages work its not 30% because you dont add them it should be around 15%
At 22:45 he realized that himself.
Also really cool vid
Hey thanks buddy :) what do you think of the thumb? Similar in style to my other “x only” vids
You gotta play as Czechoslovakia, give up the sudeten, but refuse "fate of Czechoslovakia".
25:17 Not as strange as you might think. In real life the RAF Bomber Command lost a whopping 55k men KIA, out of 125k total men. It was staggeringly dangerous business for the crews.
Theoreticly speaking, given the supply arrives from the enemy capital, couldn't you have bombed railways/ports in eastern germany which would had crippled the entire logistical element of German war effort?
Not all supply comes from the capital. Before supply rework you could encircle moscow and all soviet troops would be suplyless. Now that doesn't work
Victory points generate supply on their own as well
What with your math?
Didnt expect the railroad and supply booming to be so effective. And I heard that refitting self-sealing fuel tanks saves lots of rubber
Now time for heavy tank only Tibet
I have been getting a lot of Ahistorical events in my games too. I've had the Hungarian-Romanian war, Naval invasions by the Axis into G.B., early WW2 in 1938, and other random events... and those were in games where I played as Iran and stayed non-aligned.
Can luxemburg only win a black ice world Conquest?
Any country that can defeat netherlands and puppet indonesia early on can do a world conquest
Now I want to see Logistics bombing only or CAS only against Germany, and Naval Bomber only against Japan
(Most of the troops in China are supplied from the mainland, once they run out of convoys, the troops in China are essentially encircled)
For single play with AI personally I love stc. so mush they bigger bombs boys will destroy or delays AI to build and product, they will starve combined with logistic strike with tactical bomber (cheeper) I just sit back and watch my inf.with tank destroy AI like making breakfast 😂 But for the multiplayer production cost that enough to say no to stc. bomb, but If you have a good team and coordinate with them might be good to stc bomb to be annoying to others players. Oh and I almost forgot stc navy that can put torpedo on is absolute destroy the entire fleet of enemy if you build enough 😊
Can you play bulgaria ww1 and reform the Byzantine empire and if possible historic division
For some reason youtube never gives me notifications for your vids. Also would love to see some magna europa, or autumn begonia challenges!
the way he just adds the percentages together makes my braincells explode
17:21 that sounds familiar hmmm
I see the first slide and i am already slightly agiated:
People complain about dresden, because the british ruled coventry as a crime. Thus it is only logical that the bombing of dresden is a crime as well.
Same rules for everyone, that's it.
It was a major transport hub and it was required by the soviets to be bombed so that they didn't have to siege the city which would have been far more destructive. Just take a look at what happened to Budapest
@@funkymarco4411I mean, the Red Army didn’t even reach Dresden before Berlin fell and Germany surrendered…
I never heard them ‚rule‘ this in any meaningful way. Both were fair game
Bro your overacting with your bombings a bit bombing in hoi4 does nothing even with 1000s and nukes its not worth and does nothing
That dresden joke is messed up
Now play naval only korea
0:05 I'm going to say as a British person that Dresden was absolutely wrong. Even the British public of the time weren't happy about it, unlike the Atomic Bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki there was no point to it as by February 1945 the German population presented little threat to the Allies and little impact on the outcome of the war which by February was already a forgone conclusion, the bombing of Dresden wouldn't hasten an end to the war and instead potentially only inspired Germans to fight on longer. Churchill himself even changed the orders of Bomber Command to focus them in supporting tactical bombing of battles and military factories or bases rather than civilian areas moving forwards.
It should not have been targeted, in fact while it was a rail hub the actual rail network wasn't attacked in the initial bombing and incendiary bombs which were designed more to kill people were used. It wasn't until nearly a month afterwards that the USAAF did an attack on the rail network and nearly a month later again that industry was attacked.
The RAF didn't even possess proper maps of the city before attacking, and 110 factories wasn't even that much and you have to fly over the whole of the Ruhr industrial valley to get to it, thousands of factories that were still fully or partially operational.
The city was full of refugees from the advancing Red Army, even in the heavily "recommended" to vote for the NSDAP election of 1933 (when there was violent thuggery and suppression of anyone else campaigning or demonstrating) Dresden itself remained under 50% in favour of the Nazis so unlike the Bavarian homeland of the party it can't even be argued the civilians were die-hard believers in the cause.
Then there is the "laws of war" argument that covers why a soldier can pre-emptively kill someone on the battlefield as it is in defence of themselves. I think the argument the bombers weren't committing a war crime "because there was a flak tower firing at them" is very short sighted.
To obliterate all civilians because they could "possibly help the war effort" is to put ourselves at the same level as the Nazis and the Soviets.
Of course simulating it for a game is as silly fun as doing a "Liberia world conquest" or "France artillery only" so I don't object to the video itself.
bomb krauts
You articulated your points very well. I dislike Wehraboo types as much as the next guy, but paradoxically the “anti-Wehrbs” seem to get on my nerves just as much, if not more. From how many of them talk, they just seem to be constantly itching to justify crimes against civilians and to dehumanize the entirety of the German people. They are the same kinds of people who laugh about the deaths of Russian soldiers from their comfy gaming chairs in America. I’d say our generation seems to lack solidarity and respect for our fellow men.
Great opinion but Soviet Union didn't burn down villages with people inside them it didn't murder kids on the eyes of their parents it haven't bombard cities it oblivion.What's your problem with Soviet Union?
Generation of cowards, men with honour already died in action@@tuccerjim3084
It's ironic that you talk about how Dresden was pointless because the target was already defeated, and then say "unlike Hiroshima and Nagasaki" as if Japan wasn't already trying to negotiate a surrender at the time.
How do you even destroy a rail with a strategic bomber flying at like 6kms above ground? With 1940 JDAMs?? Lmao
I am interested to see you do a Railway Gustav only challenge... Y'know the big cannon on train, evil cho cho
Hey Aldra, I have a theory for this challenge - so if you protected Czechoslovakia at Munich then yes, you'd have less time to make bombers, but also you could bomb their industry longer so i think that's all
Ground Crews dont boost over 100%, so if your efficiency is already at 100% there is no point in using ground crews. But sure usually there is no other use for the command power so its not a big loss.
I remember looking for what missions to use for strat bombing and I remember it stating always target airfields, AA, and refineries. I still think those should be the priority, until the airports and AA are negated enough.
why didn't you also have a few air wings just targets airfields?
11:33 Arthur Harris when deciding the British contribution to the Combined Bomber Offensive
As somebody who genuinely uses strategic bombers on a large scale they are ridiculously overpowered and can literally win wars in multiplayer. But nobody wants to admit that
Carlist spain???
Who gonna tell him that if he bombs enemy airbases the enemy won't be able to put up any defense
In the early air war, bombing the airbases can be great too, as it can destroy planes.
Good. Now repeat that without navy, make it truly strat bomber only
You should totally do a tank only challenge with only historical units :)
When is Superheavy amphibious tanks only Romania?
Dammit Turkey not again!
Also, Paratrooper only any nation.
Historically accurate Finland in Hoi4 , will be funny
WW1 Qing China Hoi4 nearly impossibile
It's time for 10 Tank Division Hungary.
What the fuck happened in hungary amd romania
I know you have missed me! Norway for evar!!
You know will be cool if Poland had a little bit of black ice
Strat bombers are only good for max torpedo naval patrols
What if you only use ww1 tactics but still win?
pretty sure britain is the only country you could do this with lol
I missed yumsuc 😢😢😢
6:26
Yumsuc will always be the go to name ;) just gotta include everyone else as well!
@@Aldrahill oh ok
Rocket only? As the US, only build and use Rocket sites
I never noticed them doing much, maybe the entire US can do something, without needing to directly fight with an army
(Tip: In the meantime build in the Philippines to reduce their autonomy and annex them, so Japan doesn't declare war on you, and you can choose when to declare on them, or join the Allies)
You would just be AFKing through most of the game, cant get rockets til fairly late
@@misterperson3469 True, although you can get effective ones in about 1940 as Britain, while the range upgrades take a bit longer
Quebec tanks only futurely?
Bomber Harris approves this message.
MY STRATEGIC BOMBER JUST CAME OUT AS TRANS
When is Superheavy spaa only?
Could you do a lend-leaae only challenge?
0:00 Sir Arthur Harris spitting fax.
That's not how % works

Hate to be that guy, but it is 'Ukraine' not 'the Ukraine'. Sure it's just a slip up
Indeed, it used to be "the ukraine" in my country, so it's hard to forget :P
@@Aldrahill Of course, easy mistake to make and one could argue the period accurate term
@@williampoucher174 cope
@@Fatty_WB how so?
@williampoucher174 Hate to be that guy, but it is 'why' not 'how so'. Sure, it's just a slip up.
In the Fire bombing of Dresden, civilians were burned alive. The whole city was in flames. I wanted to watch the video, but from now on I will never watch a single video of you again. I dare you to make a joke about that about the 6 million people.
