For heavy ships ur supposed to do this: ur super battleships weren’t engaging cuz u were using them to patrol. Ur supposed to have the destroyers cruisers and battleships on patrol, and once they spot the enemy fleet, have the super battleships on strike force, meaning they’ll leave to engage once an enemy is found. Make sure the two fleets are under one admiral, but in separate task forces. If u had done that, ur super battleships likely would’ve engaged the German fleet far more.

[@juvandy]

This vid exemplifies two major issues with HOI4, especially now with NSB: 1) Too few research slots. Even for a major, it is basically impossible to research everything you would need to have a 'complete' military and industry in anything resembling a short amount of time. The only way it really works is for nations that are given substantial things first. To me, this is understandable for gameplay, but it kind of ruins reality. I wish there were more specific buffs to research of particular things- kind of like doctrine research gives you bonuses to particular kinds of fighting. Or more research slots in general, or perhaps specific research slots: industry, army, air, navy (or something) that could be modified in different ways. 2) Naval production. Seriously, why can we only put 5 dockyards on a capital ship? It makes no fucking sense whatsoever, even from a balance perspective. If balance is an issue, then make the capital ships more resource-intensive to produce, rather than limit the number of dockyards.

[@GoldMoonGuy]

you're right. the second one just too simple to solve. you only need to spam more production slot to it.

[@ertrick3693]

It was a crime against humanity when they jammed all those modules in with Man the Guns and thought "yup, this seems like a reasonable amount of stuff to research with the amount of research slots people already have available" And that was back when you *also* still had to research doctrines

[@captainnutsack8151]

Before MtG you could assign as many docks as you want for capital ships.....I forget the reasoning they gave for changing it. So much with navy changed in MtG. Making them require more resources to build is a pretty good idea to trade off. Now that I think of it, Paradox's reasoning was realism, in reality capital ships aren't built quickly and stacking dockyards to make them build faster, beyond a certain point, took away from the realism. Their reasoning, not mine. Don't hate the messenger. Research has definitely become a boondoggle. I'm playing a really long Japan game at the moment, and have made it all the way to 1948. I'm still researching some 1943 tech. It's crazy. But that's an easy fix for them. All the devs have to do is make ALL research shorter by a certain amount. This was an unavoidable result of all of the DLC and added mechanics/equipment to the game. When MtG dropped it added an ENTIRE section of research items. Research times overall were definitely shortened, and Paradox claimed they were balanced. they clearly aren't and need to be reduced across the board. Now you've got the whole entire tank tree, while the only thing they took away was the doctrine trees. I honestly love having the great range of research stuff but it's taking too long. I do realize my anecdote is based on Japan who has a slower tech research rate overall but it's still out of wack.

[@juvandy]

@@captainnutsack8151 not shooting you. It just seems odd that you can have 10 dockyards work on a destroyer/sub/cruiser, but only 5 on a capital ship. Shouldn't it be the opposite, by any conceivable logic? I mean, a capital ship is bigger, so it could literally 'span more docks' than a destroyer. Just don't get it.

[@Abbittibbi]

Ireland: we've been around for 2000 years but got no Navy, our very first recruit, even without naval experience will be an Admiral, make sense? We don't care.

[@pavelslama5543]

The most overall effective navy structure: 1st admiral: battlefleets only - each cca 4BB, 6CL, 30DD 2nd admiral (optional): combined fleets only - each cca 4CV, 4BC or CA (never let your carriers go without big gun ship support in HOI), 40DD 3rd admiral: spotting/convoy def - consists of small fleets of either 8DD(+1CVL), or 2 dedicated spotting CLs 4th admiral: convoy raid only - small wolfpacks (10SS), big wolfpacks (20SS), or single surface raiders (preferably CLs) 5th admiral (optional): coastal defense force - old heavy cruisers, pre dreads, coastal cruisers, old DDs and minesweepers Order of battle: 1st and 2nd admiral on strike force, 3rd on either spotting or convoy def or both (you can divide him into 2 admirals, one doing convoy def, the other spotting). Always spot the sea zones where you want your first 2 admirals to fight. Always convoy def the sea zones where your supply routes are going (if they are going through some stupid zone... ehm ehm, English channel, ehm... you can disable access to that zone and your supply ships wont go there). 4th admiral should be on convoy raid order on zones where the enemy supply ships are going (you may find that out through diplomacy - intel ledger, if your spies are working correctly). 5th admiral really depends on what ships are in your coastal patrol. If you have pre dreads (like Germany) or coastal bbs (like Sweden, Finland, or many other countries), you can set them as a strike force (always support them with land based torp bombers and possibly even fighters or flying boats), or you may even use them for coastal bombardment. If you have smaller coastal force consisting of old CLs and minesweepers (like USSR), you may set them up to mine the coastal waters (its not going to sink many ships, but whatever enemy ships will go through that zone will end up in dry dock for a very long time, possibly months, thus effectively out of combat). Always do: 1) have enough screening ships (DDs or CLs) in your big fleets. At least 4 screens per each capital (BB, CV, CA). 2) have some building plan for your navy, or at least guerilla combat plan for your ships if you cant afford building a sufficient navy. 3) have patrol fleets for your strike forces. 4) check your fleets containing capital ships and if the ships are damaged, send them back to some big port to fix them (it better to be repairing a BB for 3 months than building it for 18). 5) use right admiral for his job (e.g. ironside -> battlefleets, planes enthusiast -> combined fleet, sea wolf -> submarines) Do not: 1) use subs in zones with a "shallow waters" modifier. 2) use subs in zones heavily guarded by torpedo bombers and flying boats 3) set your capital ships on a raiding missions, especially not alone (Im watching you, Bismarck!!) 4) set your fleets to "engage at high risk" or "always engage" unless you are certain of victory. 5) research doctrines and ammo before ships and guns. Doctrines and ammo work on all existing ships, you can always do that later. 6) dispute zones that are heavily guarded by enemy air force, or where the enemy has much more ships in general. 7) be hasty, naval combat takes more time than land combat, especially when it comes to building new stuff. Pro tips: 1) Whenever you win a war, always make sure to be the first one who puppets the nation with the strongest navy (or at least a little part of that nation, containing at least 1 port). 2) Light guns are usually what wins or loses a major battles. They target the screen ships, and once those are gone, torpedoes will quickly dispose of any unscreened capital ships. 3) Make a lot of good light cruisers. First of all, they excel at the previous tip N.2 - disposing of enemy screens. Then they also make for good solo scouts. Then they also make for a good raider ship. And if you have enough of them, you may even create long range strike forces which are screened only by light cruisers instead of destroyers and thus they can go much further away from the nearest port. 4) At the beginning of each game, sort out crappy ships. You can do that by opening the production screen, select each design one after the other, and always look for speed and range. Ships with sub - 27 kts speed generally suck, so mark them with a "crab" symbol. Also mark any ship with under 1800km range. And then when setting up your flotillas, always require other ships than "crabs". You will end up with a lot of "crabs" in your reserve fleet. You can merge them and use them as coastal guards. Later in the game, you may increase the required range to 2000 and 2500km, thus sorting out more of the older destroyers, which may then be used in secondary duties.

[@EdgewiseSJ]

I'm not a total noob and haven't played the most recent DLC, but this might be helpful since I have done a lot of fleet fighting just trying to figure it out since it seemed so confusing at first. I had good luck using multiple fleets in the same zone with different missions, so one fleet spots but doesn't engage, a second fleet will engage with speed and an additional fleet will show up with slower ships, the enemy will typically try to retreat but have trouble breaking away cleanly due to being already engaged by your faster ships. I know this is a crappy explanation compared to a video, but it might be helpful.

[@vincentschrama749]

I agree the long building times are realistic but not much fun. Though at least in the officer corps you can get a bonus to refitting which makes refitting a bit more useful.

[@ghostfacedninja1000]

A few things. Your capitals need screens or they get wrecked by torpedoes. I think minimum is 2x as many screens as caps, but for safety you want at least 4x. You want those in a death stack. Being screened will give your caps a bonus as well. You then also have small patrols operating in the same area. Destroyers ideal (cheap) or some people prefer spotting cruisers set to never engage. Given basically unlimited production I'd recommend tier 3-4 regular battleships with fattest engines possible. Heavy attack is good for caps. Light attack is good for screens. Meta tends towards light as you use that to wreck their screen and then torpedo their caps. But this doesn't really account for being able to spam battleships like this so not really sure how much it applies to this as the meta is about production efficiency.

Paradox made the naval rework too extensive in Man the Guns, too many things to research and not enough research breaks on them. Getting navy research working for surface ships can take a year or so of research or more compared to doing quick submarine research and then producing ships that come back up after being underwater. They really need to do a QOL patch at some point and admit there were some DLC mistakes made.

This has since been patched, sadly. Also for multi-state coastal nations like Ireland, you want to do civil war while naval dockyard focus is going. Your civil war opponent will have whatever your focus is when it appears, and if you let them finish before winning the civil war, they get the dockyards too. 0 --> 6 dockyards. Now that you can't have +infinity% naval production, that might be worth doing. Edit: loading up fast cruisers with light attack spam is pretty effective, as you mentioned.

The ship is kinds useless if its not in a big fleet. Its meant to soak damage and deal damage. Alone they're useless, in a fleet they're going to shred the enemy.

[@spacekicker4]

The two biggest problems you had were one you had no support ships so you had no screening and two those ships are designed to do other jobs.

[@DaveFeedBackGaming]

Yeah the plan was to have a ship that does everything like the way subs currently work

[@spacekicker4]

@@DaveFeedBackGaming you know I kept thinking, "wow I usually just spam subs and not fuck with the navy". I can imagine how busted this would be on sub/destroyer spam.

[@felixschrider9037]

Yeah. For patrol fleets you are supposed to use Light Cruisers and Destroyers. because they are small and fast. The heavy ships should be on Strike Force in the nearest possible port. And you can put the spotter planes on light cruisers. that + Radar means you'll spot anything.

[@felixschrider9037]

Also the naval system isnt that difficult. if you think about it... no shit the Ship the size of a small country cant catch, let-alone spot the enemy's destroyers. As I see it. in the naval system, Torpedoes are king. Everything else is just a means to get to the torpedoes. So the Light attack meta is only there to destroy the enemy screens enough that your own torps can get through and wipe out everything else. So having Light Cruisers with Torps/ DDs with Torps and Heavy cruisers with max light attack is the way to go.

[@DaveFeedBackGaming]

From my discord "Just some notes about my latest video. A lot of confusion waaaa MONKE MONKE MONKE I was trying to create a capital ship that did everything from fight other capital raid and spot. Credit to PDX it's not possible. I understand the 'correct' way is to have a fleet spot and have an attack fleet on strike force. BUT that requires production in 2 separate fleets in that case why not just make subs which does everything TLDR make subs"

[@DoubleNN]

"Eire" by the way means "Ireland", where the name Ireland comes from actually. Pronounced "ehh-reh". I'm guessing LE stands for "Long Eireann" or something like that, meaning "Ship Ireland".

[@jemobolqvadze6905]

This seemed fascinating-starting with a 0 navy to possessing a fleet of heavy battleships.I wonder if you could exploit air production with this.

[@Starjumper2821]

You can't. Heard there is a version where you can get the 10% reduction to stick after choosing another focus, but it doesn't stack.

[@katieheys8564]

Sadly it doesn't work. Imagine how insane it'd be to produce a plane a day

@@Starjumper2821 what a bummer 😒😒😒😒

[@friesingcold]

Imo, best ship to stack is Destroyer with high level torpedos, destroyer 4 with torpedo 4 every slot filled gives something like 230 torp attack. It’s extremely op

[@benbaselet2026]

DDs and/or subs are the only thing you need for spam, capital ships are practically useless for other than shore bombardment.

[@hakanmf1]

Subs with radar work really well to spot enemies. Just have a fleet of subs to spot and your heavies to strike.

[@warmachine5835]

I was just thinking about this, and because of the mechanics around submarines, the battle might be around long enough for the super heavies to actually get there and do things.

[@PikaPilot]

light attack hits more frequently than heavy attack. That's the main reason its more effective. Screens are much more likely to dodge heavy attack than capitals, even at the same speed.

[@Logan-dk8of]

being big and slow but well armored and armed is only really helpful (at least in real life) if used to escort or support naval invasions because then if they want to stop you the enemy fleet has to come to you. not very good for hunting fleets when you have to go to them

[@WiggleOcto]

So I already knew this a couple days ago, and I did something as America. Usually I get like 80 - 100 dockyards as them. I did this exploit, and eventually I had to stop building more ships for my manpower as it was being drained, I had like 2000 destroyers and 7000 subs Then I focused on convoys, and I managed to get 400,000 convoys lmao
