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

[@schiefer1103]

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.

[@picklesusa3449]

I know their not a major power. But they basically are with the new AAT dlc. Please do Finland 🇫🇮

[@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

[@chrischros8790]

@@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.

[@MinamiProductions]

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.

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

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

[@jaggawo1683]

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.

[@lukeperkins9013]

@KimmyKimtsune Well Greenland patrol is a decision you can take some time after Denmark surrenders, and in the U.S focus tree u can do destroyers for bases for Labrador, newfoundland and some others

[@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!

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

[@chef4025]

@@dylanram4653No I mean your nav bombers in airbases. I think nav bombers on carriers should just stay put until a naval battle happens. But honestly I don’t know much about carriers

This has been an astonishing Series and I loved every second of it, it required a lot of my free time (and also dead times of my work shifts, LOL) but I considered the time "wasted" as refreshing and just like watching a good HBO Series. This series revived even more my passion about the game and I want with this comment to give some support and encouragement to you Dave for this magnificent and time consuming work. Well done ✅

[@yuritiger99]

Hey Dave, Been watching for a while and I have to say this series was really something else. Thank you so much for this series. For me, the small tips you gave in regards to shortcuts or other hidden gems were really what made this so special. Thank you for providing us with this amazing content.

[@Theagoh]

Those were DEFINITELY my favorite HOI4 videos so far Dave. Very entertaining and, as a relatively new player, i did learn a lot. Please continue making with the minor nations like Poland, Yugoslavia, Finland, and others. Cheers!

[@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.

[@GoodHunter9]

This video has taught me more about naval combat in the game then any other tutorials on youtube.

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.

[@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

I actually followed up watching this behemoth of a series by incorporating some of your strats into a USA playthrough, namely the naval upgrade methods you used here (and your fighter/bomber designs from your Hungary playthrough today) and I gotta say man, you are an absolute G for both of these series. 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!

[@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.

[@Chad6o]

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.

[@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

[@ducklingchief8289]

As someone who enjoys the navy combat, it kills me that you stack the whole task force into one admiral

[@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!

[@parmesancheez6087]

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

That was awasome! Seven days of education for me. I only have 20 hours in the game and what was you said, just enjoy the game was a massive help for me, because I instantly started achievment hunting and felt it boring. I really wanna see you play as minor nations as well! Big high five for everything you done

[@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.

[@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.

[@alexG106]

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!

[@lerbronk]

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.

[@duelo-hw8fo]

In the final naval battle the reason the carriers did no damage is that there was a storm,planes cant take off during storm,so only ship guns were being used

[@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

[@FeedbackGaming]

This method saves fuel

250 hours in the game and I just learned about shift+clicking in the tech tree... wow

[@mercdutch3950]

Its funny how TommyKay's Japan guides from several years ago are still kinda relevant. Most core problems stay the same. These guides got me to buy Hoi4 as I wanted to learn the suffering that is Japan. As someone who probably has 1000+ hours on Japan, it was fun to see the Chinese AI attack Japan. They havent done that to me in over several years, so I thought they changed Chinese AI to prevent suiciding into a wall. Artillery is great, but dont sleep in infantry in China. 7/2's are too small and fragile. You could also call in your puppets into the war and defend them with the starting 12 width units. Chinese AI wont attack, and if they do you easily win. It also gives huge army and general xp boost to your army. Not researching range for planes was pretty questionable ngl. Range is everthing in China and the Pacific, so getting it early means that your planes are actually relevant. Just put 1 or 2 factories on cas with range and the China war should go 10x easier. Now, I enjoy historical memes, such as building actual tank divisions, building like 10 different types of planes at the same time and building historical ships. This is always a challenge, as Japan doesnt really have the research or production it has compared to real life, but it is kind of possible. Also, please dont put submarines in your main navy. It reduces your whole fleets speed to like 18 knots.
