"my prediction is that they have made the manpower of the ship matter more than IC" Well yes, that's exactly what they did, it is in the patch notes.

[@GrasshopperKelly]

Multiplied by the combat capacity (a small modifier). Ie. Max Tech BB will project more than an older BB with the same manpower. Just not by any significant amount. Damage to the ship ofc then affects that.

[@chibertarian]

This one is easy to check in the defines, previously you had .05 per manpower .005 per IC and 100 base per ship. Now, the stunning change to supremacy is... it's still .05 per manpower and .005 per IC. They just turned the per ship base supremacy to 0. Turns out, an empty hull probably shouldn't be worth as much as 20k ic in supremacy /shrug. The math makes it so that bathtubs are actually one of the least efficient ways to create supremacy, it's actually worse than almost all ships (yes, real ones with all the guns). Technically empty carriers / super heavies are the best ratio.

[@red_seven_]

@@chibertarian While you're right on the supremacy calculation, you're wrong on the math of bathtubs. They got nerfed severly but are still quite cost efficient. At some comparisons they're twice as efficient (e.g. almost all light cruisers and some heavy cruisers). The current meta are empty (meaning only one tier 1 gun and tier 1 engine) SHBB's and empty BC's. Even most of the carrier variants are really cost efficient to gain supremacy. The problem is just that they replaced useless subs with useless battleships as the supremacy meta instead of making actual well designed ships better.

[@chibertarian]

@@red_seven_ Oh man, egg on my face. This is what I get for watching a video of someone really crunching down the numbers while I'm baked.

[@Zack_Wester]

@@red_seven_ for me if feels like ships should add a flat cost untill a point. so the first 10 bathtube subs will count 100% but after that it drops of fast (for each kind). becaues a navy made up of 10 good ships and 10 practical unarmed ships. is still going to cause a lot more problem then just the 10 good ships. maybe not as well as 20 good ships would but still more then 11 good ships. especually if the enemy only have 10 good ships (untill navy inteligence and radar/scout plane company have enough cover to keep track of the 10 crap ships to know joke fleet over there).

[@gamidragon]

The Italian jet plane exploit must be an oversight, there's a bunch of focuses that give you a design that say something to the effect of "Once XXX has been researched: get XXX design" whereas the jet one doesn't have that requirement. Fun fact: If you take the focus without having the research done, you get *nothing*, even after you get the research done. Learned this the hard way when I did the German-Soviet treaty the other day lol. The way it was written made me think that I'd get the variant once I finished researching the tech~

[@mrmatejator]

Manpower from trains is great. I remember when I created like 10M manpower as Czechoslovakia. Germans never stood a chance.

[@AshenLuck]

Select random country from load menu (in iron man) still works. Just delete everything for your oponents and go back to your country. Mega exploit i guess (doesnt effect MP obviously).

[@Punished_Rustles]

You want an exploit? How about the fact that you can use the "select random country" button to tag into any country you want on an ironman save. I figured this out when my ironman save of italy kept reloading me on the opposite side of the italian civil war and used it to get back to the correct side.

[@lukebeich]

Ships have now a base supremacy of 0 and add 5% of their manpower and 0.5% of their IC cost to their ship supremacy contribution. Therefore, the more manpower and IC they have, the bigger the impact. I think carriers should then have the biggest impact, but I don't know which ship type is the most cost effective. I might also add that different ship missions contribute differently to ship supremacy. Only patrol, strike force and naval invasion support contribute for 100% of the ships supremacy. Convoys raiding and escort contribute for 50% and mine layering/sweeping for 30%. Training and fleets on "hold" contribute nothing. You can check these values in the defines.

[@ruukinen]

I think 71Cloak checked the new values and it ended up being heavy ships with nothing on them that have the best ic/supremacy value. So basically bathtub BCs.

[@lukebeich]

@@ruukinen yeah, but at that point I might as well build a proper navy, so I'm glad that now it works like this.

[@ruukinen]

@@lukebeich Agreed. It isn't that much more efficient anyway. The old bathtub strat was something like 100% more efficient than the next best things which was empty destroyers. It was definitively something that needed fixing.

[@Maverick-7508]

[@Cerabelus]

My version of the bathtub involves mines, the subs would lay mines to disrupt enemy ships and force the AI to pull out of the region, more ships doing the minelaying meant it layed them faster. I haven't tried it yet on this patch.

[@BiscuitBattalion]

Annexing Czechoslovakia early is not worth. It’s better to keep the advisor for civ construction speed, and it doesn’t boost world tension anymore.

[@Sary33]

If the manpower of the ships matter most, then surely the best ship to build is the one that offers the most manpower per cost (at least if supremacy is wanted) which generally seems to be carriers funnily enough. I assume there'll be a little more to it than manpower.

[@silverfishofdoom1312]

4:00 had a Germany game where I made 1 super heavy battleship/ day spent around 30 minutes total clicking it

[@kaleam9386]

Alternative to bathtub might be the coastal ship you can build on some nations like the Sweden I believe the coastal ships are like 2-3x the number of crew/manpower

[@zlaker4634]

Another harder way to send planes over the limit is to send air volenters to to nation that are closer to each other then you and get one to join your faction which send the volunteers away but because the other nations closer it gets the planes sent to it

[@silverfishofdoom1312]

Haven’t finished watching yet, but there’s a glitch with italys bba focus tree where if you ignore the event to choose between abyssian fiasco and struggle in Ethiopia and let the event time out, it completed both focuses

[@omo7002]

17:14 the way to get around this is to have the ai strike force its fleet during peace time so when the war starts they have something in the sea zone (probably can still be beaten but it's better).

They could probably fix the Caproni N.1 buy just adding a motorjet technology which gives you an engine that has high speed but thrust not better than or worse than the piston engines. Then just making the blueprint it gives you using a 1940 small airframe rather than a modern one.

[@Vagabond820]

Should divisions that get changed types be sent back to the training tab to retrain thus taking them off the battlefield? Divisions receive a time credit for each battalion that is the same between units and small bonus for each battalion above trained experience. The retained division then has a new experience level of trained as the division has to get familiar with their new configuration.

[@iloveallah5960]

I think going historical as ussr in now practically impossible

[@XtremeXC29]

Not sure if its old or new, but here is one I found last night. If a nation that you have sent air volunteers to declares war on you while you are still supporting them with said volunteers in their other war, you can still use their air bases despite being at war. ex: As Germany I took out the allies and annexed all of British Malaya and the Dutch East Indies. Then sent air volunteers to Japan to help them with China. Japan declares war on me while still at war with mainland Taiwan. I am still able to use Japan's air bases. Even after they finish their war with china, I was still able to use their air bases. So I am bombing the Home Islands via Tokyo International airport.

[@miguelrodriguezcimino1674]

It used to be that the day 0 naval supremacy worked even if you joined an ongoing war, but it looks like that's no longer so. Say for example you play Italy, and Germany starts WWII, until you join the war the allies are not at war with you, and you had naval supremacy in the mediterranean sea, you joined the war and it took one or two in game hours to remove the naval supremacy. Now it's immediate, I had to win some naval battles and send the allied fleet to repair to pull a Gibraltar invasion.

Man this stream was wild, I think you made like 6 videos from it

[@ClickWasd]

For new HOI4 players there's another way to cheese the English/Japanese Navy's strike force setting when you want to exploit a naval invasion. It involes building naval bombers and a small fleet. Once you have air supremacy set the naval bombers to port strikes. After a few in game days the AI will relocate their navy to another port. This turns off their "strike force" setting and it's long enough for you to jump from Germany to England or Korea to Japan. EDIT: This one seems to have been patched as well.

[@McChkn]

[@nej23]

the reason why the naval supermacy trick with bathtubs didnt work for ya is cuz of the fact that when instant construction is on it also affects other countries so the brits had the same amounth of capital ships as u had submarines as you were able to see it said british naval supermacy 17k-33k and it isnt scaled on the % its scaled on manpower or ship strenght I think so ofc 500 capital ships will do better than 700 crappy submarines

16:52 And no, it doesn't work whenever you declare war on a nation. The principle is correct but when you justify war goals on the UK, they prepare their navy. So declaring war on a nation is not the trigger. How you do that exploit is you declare war on a nation that the UK is guaranteeing independence. Because the AI thinks you are only preparing war for the war goals justified country, the AI UK won't prepare for war. Therefore you can naval invade the UK.

So basically while the planes are flying, pause the game and split the airwing you selected. They'll arrive as 25/100 and will automatically fill up to 100/100 planes giving you four sets of 100 planes per air volunteer. Naturally you can split them more than just 25/100 so you could split them to be 5/100 giving you 20 100/100 or 2k planes for the civil war
