You asked why carrier planes have to be at sea to be able to train. In RL they started on land on specially made runways looking like a CV deck. The US had two fake carriers on the Great Lakes to constantly practice landings on an actual deck without damaging a real one. However that was merely to get them to that standard needed. Once at sea on a Sqn it took even more intense training to get them up to being a naval aviator. Landing on a rolling deck, getting up and below deck via elevator, locating and targeting shipping, etc, was a whole other challenge. We’re lucky in the game training pilots is far faster than RL.

[@FeedbackGaming]

Its been a wild ride guys. However I'm glad its over, I'm exhausted. Getting up early to record these videos was exciting as I had a clear goal. Saying that, it was never a marathon I just made it up as I went along. After day 2 it was a chance to keep pushing. Do I keep going for a day 3 4 or 5? WELL day 7 is the officially the end. I hope you enjoyed this fun experiment. Maybe I'll do it again for another 7 days in the future covering the minor nations in hoi4. Thanks for the support guys

Oh Dave, I just started the video, and you just put machine guns on CV Nav. You may not know this, but CV Navs on Naval Strike/Carrier Duty cannot shoot anything down, they will not attack airplanes no matter the air attack. This is a bug that Paradox apparently knows of, but it is not well known.

[@MakersMark723]

This was really an amazing series Feedback. I REALLY do hope you continue this with minor nations in the future! Cheers!

[@schooledgaming8604]

The historical reason to why you can’t exercise your planes while in port is because back then the ship had to be moving at a certain speed in order for the planes to take off. So in turn the ships speed helps the planes take off.

[@stonkey882]

Never knew that lol. Cool

[@joshuanuciola8070]

its actually shown in the movie midway when the plane launching off enterprise didnt get enough speed and fell in front of the carrier killing the pilot@@stonkey882

@@stonkey882 yup, CV's back then turned into the wind as to allow the planes in easier takeoff.

[@MinamiProductions]

Not just back then, still very much a thing.

It goes for both launch and recovery, if you have a good wind you can add 30-40 knots which is substantial even for modern aircraft.

The USA has just demanded transfer of American territories, which is most common for when you annex some islands in North America (like Greenland). But since Germany owned whole of Canada the USA got all of it including the islands. 1:27:50

[@FeedbackGaming]

They take the whole of Canada too? Never seen that

[@nickstoneham5629]

​@@FeedbackGamingI could be very wrong here, but I think the US has the ability to demand nations that aren't native to the Americas to give all of their holdings in the Americas to them.

[@KimmyKimtsune]

Yes. The basic idea would be: Define Province = North America [Maybe even South at some Point?] If Province >Owner< = European Then Demand Province If accepted the nation transfers the Province [All Provinces that they own that apply this Logic] Thats how the US usually gets Control of like the Caribbean Islands [France, UK, Netherlands], New Fundland [UK], Greenland [Denmark] and so on. But in this Case Germany owned all the provinces themselves from a Peace Deal, thus: Demand All, Accept, Transfer All. :) @@FeedbackGaming

Yeah basically it's a decision for taking American land from non-American nations. Had the usa do it when I was playing Germany so I just gave it to them for a laugh.

[@Makapaa]

I think the refit logic is pretty solid in HoI4. You can upgrade the small stuff (electronics, AA, small guns.. even bigger guns up to certain degree) fast and easy but if you need to bulk up the ships armor, change the boiler systems or add more Big Capital Guns to it, you're better off building entirely new ship from the start!

The US base dleet, fully upgraded with all the passives like you did here, is an absolute MONSTER. Thanks for all the great content, happy Christmas!

Having half your nav bombers on patrol increases your total damage by a ton because you find ships instantly. Also putting a couple small fleets on patrol increases likelyhood of seeing big enemy fleets

I really want to thank you for this Dave. I'm a noob and I know it with around 600 hrs in HOI4 I've never touched any Navy, but I've been feeling it's time. I should also thank PDX and AAT, being able to sell convoy's has finally made me do more than finish the production que.

[@Homerisnude]

Between the sign of the ship and its xp lvl you can see a "list" icon. If you press it, you can see to what this specific ship has contributed: Dealing dmg, or killing blow. Usually for Carriers it is: tons of dmg and low amount of killing blows. I guess its how Navy battels work: First the Planes go in and do dmg, than the BBs do the final blow.

[@sandororos4310]

That was awasome! Seven days of education for me.

I love this series. I'm not subbed and I still saw them in my feed so at least they're not doing bad in the algorithm!

[@xShurax]

1:12:16 Actually, this makes a lot of sense. Historically during WW2, the USA did say that if Japan was to attack the UK, France or the Netherlands, they would not join the war against Japan. Iirc, they even said that if Japan was to attack the Philippines they would also not declare war on Japan. So if you think about it, what happened in this game would be what would've happened if Japan decided not to attack the USA. But also historically, the USA pretty much forced Japan into attacking them, when Japan was panicking throughout WW2, not wanting to have a war against the USA nor against the USSR, because they knew that they might be able to defeat them early on in battles, but in the long run, would not be able to win the war against them. Then, well, because of increasing diplomatic pressure from the USA and the obvious indication that the USA will not accept Japan's proposals whatever they may offer, Japan decided to attack the USA, because they thought that the alternative to attacking the USA first would've been the USA attacking them first, which would've given them less of an advantage in the early war.

[@electric_garnet]

even today many carrier based planes require the carrier to be moving for planes to launch. air moving across the deck assists in getting the lift required for the plane to take off.

[@Hexas87]

Hey Dave, I don't even play HOI4 and I love your content. You are making an excellent content, please do not stop. Big Love x

[@Hyde_Hill]

If you cancel a refit and it has progressed to a certain level you should get a warning that it will scuttle the ship. And yeah also for convenience sake as long as you have the manpower just building better new ones seems the better way to go. As keeping track of all the different types etc becomes a head ache.

[@quentintin1]

for the two armies frontline orders, you can just do a Field Marshal order, then in the frontline adjustement you can slide how much of the line each army should take, this should avoid the frontlines separating

lmao im literally doing a campaign as japan rn, I just opened up youtube and to my surprise feedback posts this

[@kerkonig5102]

one tip regarding carriers. the overstacking only applies to carrier naval bombers and carrier cas. it does not apply to carirer fighters. so as japan you should use your 2 smaller carriers, the ones with 20 ish deck size for pure carrier fighter duties and the others as naval bomber hosts. also the careir oenality is maxed at 80% so building like 30 or so going RELAY crazy into carries is a fun thing to do aginst noobs/the ai

Have a good rest after back to back long hoi4 runs and editing. Cheers

[@BigSmokeTF2]

Hey dave, I think the reason why the U.S fleet performed so terribly was due to the storm debuff which you can see just above the bar which indicates who is winning.

[@FeedbackGaming]

Why didn't the Japanese fleet get the debuff too?

[@BigSmokeTF2]

​@@FeedbackGaming Perhaps it could be carrier overstacking, spirits, doctrine or just pure rng? I'm not entirely sure.

[@tunganhnguyen909]

I'm thinking cause the American ships got more ships and so got a bigger overstacking debuff. Plus the admiral hasn't arrived for them yet

[@vero5160]

@@FeedbackGaming The ai doesn't refit ships so a lot of those didn't have any fire control, radar, etc. The ai is terrible at naval design in general.

[@attilapuskas9379]

The fleet over stacking wasn't that bad for the US, as you can see the positioning debuff. You (jap) were on 99% positioning and they (us) were on 90%. So the fleet over stacking wasn't that bad. And the US wasn't in war. So I don't really know if they actually actively exercise the fleet for xp and doctrines. BUT the biggest weakness as stated above is that they don't upgrade their ships. Radar and fire control gives mad bonuses. So you had like 150 ships (even though old) but with the latest tech and passive bonuses. If I had to guess they wouldn't have more than* 20. So tech advantage! Well played Dave!

With the navy intel tab you can see where the enemy has their fleet assigned on missions. the YELLOW sea zone with mission means they have ship active in that region.

[@dad378]

my guess is the reason you cant train air in port is usually irl carriers wanted to be sailing into a headwind to give optimal conditions for takeoff.

[@MrBulldog855]

Yeah it says on one of the tool tips that naval air can't train until it's on a naval mission. I usually build 300 and train them till elite then delete the crappy carrier planes and put in the new ones.

For refitting ships you can click on the design in the navy tab and upgrade it there instead of searching for the specific ship in the production tab

[@robertmu]

the shore bombardment can be done better and effectively by simply right clicking + shift (or control i dont remember correctly), and setting the ships near where your troops are, this way the navy won't use 100% of the fuel that would use instead by putting them on a naval invade task, because the ships are on halt, and still bombarding the nearest coastal tile

Dunno if someone has commented this, but I think you can select all of one ship it you right click one.

[@knpark2025]

9:00 some funny things about Japan in WW2 history and HOI4: A minor city/supply depot between the large letters "N" and "A" in China is Wuhan. Yes, THAT Wuhan. This place is famous among East Asian nerds as the historical place where the Battle of the Red Cliffs happened in 3rd Century China. Back then, a Chinese warlord Cao Cao also failed to end the so-called "Three Kingdoms" period almost a century earlier because he failed to win said battle, cross the Yangtze, and take the place where Wuhan is now. In HOI4 this place is where players controlling Japan also suffer after the first push because the last supply hub was hundreds of kilometers before. On later stages of WW2 Japan has a smaller Kursk of its own starting from here, and it arguably succeeds -- they launched a massive offensive campaign from somewhere around Changsha (in the Hoi4 Map on this video it's the different minor city/supply hub at 5 o'clock to a big lake right beneath the letter "N") all the way to Guangzhou. Because of this success Japan gained a new land route at the later half of WW2 from its so-called "southern resource region" (i.e., its occupied regions in South-East Asia).This was critical because by this time the Western Pacific was America's water for a practical sence. Japan planned to ship resources from the south through Chinese mainland, all the way up to Manchuria, and back down through Korean Peninsula. To depict how the Japanese used the Korean Peninsula (and Taiwan, for similar position to sea transport) in history, One of the thickest (iirc lv 4/5) rail connection runs straight through the Korean Peninsula from Busan through Seoul up to its border with Manchuquo at Uiju. Because of this (historically accurate) utility of Korean Peninsula HOI4 Japan can minimize its convoy ships' exposure to the Pacific once the rail link between Changsha and Guangzhou/Nanning is acquired. In a nutshell: Japan WW2 is like Germany if it won Stalingrad and Kursk but still lost the war in the end because of Allied forces advancing from France and Italy. This is why it took several more months and two nukes to make Japan surrender.

[@MrBulldog855]

If you were using patrol bombers, then it was probably a combination of air efficiency, Naval attack damage, really lucky weather conditions and I assume it had to have been a damaged fleet returning to a port from another battle.
