[@timeforepic_inc.2105]

I also have a gameplay tip ISP: if you want to see which nations you still need to capitulate, instead of hovering over a surrender bar and waiting for the tooltip, you can click the "Minors" toggle at the top of the war screen. this makes it so only major nations are displayed.

[@chombus2602]

Or you can search minors in Google

[@jeremyglass4283]

You’re fighting is pretty meta actually except it probably needs more range, so extra fuels tanks instead of the armor plates is a good idea. Also don’t forget to hit the auto upgrade button, so when you get the new model, you save air xp cause you don’t have to put the same modules and engine on again. I like to build a few battle ships and carriers in addition to the light cruisers and destroyers too, as the US, you can afford it, I also like to fill the entire country with infrastructure and build around 50 civs (just to make my economy enormous and unmatched by the Germans or the Soviets, so I can ramp up really quickly after that) before shifting to mils and dockyards, but it’s probably better to build the dockyards before the civs because navies take a long time to build.

[@95keat]

Im not gonna lie. Been playing for years and I legit didnt know you could shift click the general portraits.

took me 22 million casualties as the soviets to beat the entire max buffed axis (including minors cause rt56)

THE RAT

[@casemoorhouse7013]

do super heavy artillery only or we will bring out the rat

[@strangerinastrangeland8304]

Going over the templates was really cool

[@Finn_the_Cat]

I think this video has taught me something. Usually I do the same thing with guns on my plains of having only heavy machine guns but I also put on all range stuff, drop tank extra fuel tanks and self sealing fuel tanks. I think the think that really hurts though is that I use 2 engines 3 which is really expensive. So knowing that more defense and range plus 1 engine 3 is better and cheaper should really help me

It's really fun to play as the soviets against max buffed germany as well. You can also debuff yourself for an actual challenge.

[@reichtanglevictor1694]

As someone with almost 2k hours who hasn't had a clue on how to play the game since no step back: thank you for explaining everything in detail

The Company upgrade tool tip was something I was not aware of, but desperately needed

[@markmiller4576]

Watching this reminded me of the x10 and x1000 mods. I can only imagine the carnage those mods would do in the current build of the game

[@david6135]

The only reason for buffing the AI is when you want to build TDs and SPGs in Singleplayer

[@glauberglousger956]

Using mods like ANB (All Nations Boostable) or Road to 56 allows you to boost nations again, as well as minor nations and most releasables Up to three times total, and they stack (you can also boost factions for a fourth stack) Ever wanted 120% Attack and defense boosted Germany? Want +200% PP gain for France? Now you can have it

[@unfortunately_fortunate2000]

actually the carriers that the US starts the game building are solid, unlike anyone else they're designed with level 1 armor (amazing because I dont have to spend two years refitting ships to make them fast enough to be useful) & they're pretty close to the carrier design meta anyways with as many hangars as you can fit on them, the real draw back to building all those starting ships is you have next to no chromium until doing some research and changing your export laws, and, the US can be kinda annoying to get air xp rolling so actually designing a carrier naval bomber to fill out all these new carriers I build always ends up being the bottleneck at first. everything else is pretty much useless though, the DD's are the usual starting garbage that just isn't worth it and same with the heavy cruisers, plus whenever I play as the US I always delete my starting battleships, I tend to spend as much as is reasonably possible on swapping the USN's BB's for as many level 2 carriers and CA's as I can get out before the war starts.

[@fanis1414]

Why would you ever put armour on carriers?

[@wojciechzellner8799]

Funny story, once i Played kaiserredux with my 2 friends. One of them is has over a God damn 3000 and plays like a new Player. We gave him full buff and he Played france. Almost lost while me on Finland and the other friend on britan had to still Save him

[@cadzilla]

Hardest challenge is going outside

[@Zoologisklydbog]

If paradox updates the British focus tree they should allow winston churchill parrot Charlie to be a Leader

This was great, you should buff the AI more often to give yourself a challenge, maybe even bump the difficulty up if you feel like going through hell : )

They should make a check so if either no country or an ai controlled country has been buffed achievements are still allowed but if a player controlled country is buffed they’re not

[@blackrose3653]

If you had an achievement that involves defeating germany couldn't you buff the soviets or Americans or UK to make it easier

I know someone with 3000 hours on HoI who doesn’t know how the navy works and never bothered, I legit had thought it was just a meme

[@Corium1]

do they not even bother to build a thing?

[@Hydelix]

To be fair, navy is fun for a single or two playthroughs but then gets very tedious so you just deathstack/sub spam.

[@mattifine4348]

I did a similar thing a week ago. Didn’t buff the AI but set every one to go fascist (expect France, Benelux, Spain and Soviets to feed Germany). First time playing America was hard, I know right?! Was a ton of fun 10/10 can recommend. Did end up playing until 1948😅. (Make sure to stay democratic for the real America stands alone experience)

[@EuroCrow283]

Cute idea to do a guide, but unless little Timmy can shovel over 250$ for the game + ALL DLCs, most of this won't apply to his game, and it's very frustrating to try and find accurate guides that work for someone without DLC (like me). Oh just build these planes they're great! can't. Just make a custom tank then! can't. Then make some strong custom ships! can't. Well the special forces doctrines are powerful! can't. Luckily this country has a bunch of strong focuses! can't.
