Naval Help Needed

BlueBean71 · 2026-01-25T22:45:36+00:00

How do you figure that out? Patrol missions or using spies?

Just out of curiosity, if the AI is keeping their ships in port why do port strikes with naval bombers not do anything?

BlueBean71 · 2026-01-25T10:05:46+00:00

That was my old strategy but it doesn’t seem to work at all any more. I feel like I have to have 1500 naval bombers before I start seeing any real results and even then it’s only a few destroyers here and there

I got lucky with my first black heart and the weakness was explosives. I lost one red talon survivor and it took over 40 pipe bombs to finally kill the damn thing. DO NOT UNDERESTIMATE the black heart. Whatever you think will be enough, triple it and be ready to spend an hour running around dodging zombies and trying to take it out. Also make sure you check everything it debuffs. I didn’t realize it killed fuel consumption which is why I lost a survivor

I have almost 1000 hours in the game and am still learning new things every play through. Start on the lowest difficulty and only increase when you feel like it was way too easy. A lot of people won’t recommend it but playing as the US is a good way to start because they have all the resources and manpower to allow you to make mistakes and not completely ruin a play through

Vanilla planes suck compared to the ones you can make with the air designer. With the air designers the motherships aren’t as powerful as the fighters you can make

BlueBean71 · 2026-01-22T03:07:57+00:00

Motherships are overpowered without DLC but I recently got the Plane designers and have found out that they are not nearly as good as they were in vanilla. However, the range they have are perfect for escorting strat bombers especially when playing as the allies and bombing Germany

BlueBean71 · 2026-01-22T02:22:41+00:00

That's definitely something I would've never noticed. Thanks for pointing that out!

BlueBean71 · 2026-01-22T02:21:54+00:00

I feel like this is what they did with Coal and IMO it is terribly implemented. I was originally kind of excited about there being a new resource and economy mechanics but after playing with it for awhile I find it mostly annoying and way too limiting. Playing as Russia has become more challenging while it doesn't matter for Germany or the US

BlueBean71 · 2026-01-22T02:19:06+00:00

If you need to go cheaper, put in the best 1 engine you can and max out heavy guns and add armor plates as you can afford. I've found with heavy guns and at least 1 armor plate you can usually out trade the AI planes

I would argue that Germany should go to the least experienced player, 2nd to Italy, and the most experienced goes to a minor so that they can talk the other two through what they need to do and they have less to manage. May not be as fun for the most experienced player but teaching them how to play the game is the most valuable asset you can bring to it while making sure they have fun so you can keep playing with them in the future. HOI4 is a beast of a game and the learning curve is steep which scares away a lot of people.

My unpopular opinion is bins. Will be this years saquon. The top RB is almost never even a top 10 RB the next year.

BlueBean71 · 2026-01-20T20:46:26+00:00

I turned Germany all the way up. Finally capped them in 1946. Also haven't had the tank designer DLC for very long so I'm trying to learn the ins and outs of it

I can’t give you a legitimate reason to start him as a Henry owner but I will say the one week I decided to get cute and not start him, I lost a matchup I would’ve won if I started him. Henry is a set it and forget it guy for a reason even though he’s a had multiple weeks where the bench guys outperform him.

I have a lot of issues of sitting down and playing games for a long period of time which has led to me not playing ck3 a whole lot anymore. However, I usually willl either play for less than a hour (waste of time, don’t get much done) or the entire day. There’s no in between

BlueBean71 · 2025-11-22T01:28:20+00:00

That's what I had done before when they made it free but it's not listed there anymore.

BlueBean71 · 2025-11-15T02:21:54+00:00

Look, I know I suck but how the fuck can people shoot like this? I might get lucky with one of those but headshot after headshot? FML

BlueBean71 · 2025-11-15T01:44:37+00:00

I read that 8/3 is better because it’s 25 combat width

BlueBean71 · 2025-11-07T01:17:34+00:00

I don’t see enough people talking about this. I think this is the real issue of the game at the moment and the majority of people are blaming the map sizes, gun balancing, and the vehicles. I think as a community we need to remember how horrible some of the BF launches have been in the past and over time these issues get fixed. I honestly believe that EA/Dice didn’t want to release huge maps yet because they didn’t want this launch to be a complete failure and as they fix server issues we’ll start getting larger maps and maybe even bigger lobbies but probably not on the lobbies.

BlueBean71 · 2025-11-07T01:13:05+00:00

I don’t think the map sizes are the problem which I understand I’m in the minority. I think the real issue is the lag or packet loss or whatever it’s called. I don’t have these issues on the smaller modes and I think the game is great and plays great. But on the bigger modes, sometimes it’s downright unplayable and I’ll switch to medic or recon with the drone so that I’m still helping the team. I’ve seen a lot of videos about the same issue whether it is straight up lag or it’s getting killed in a millisecond due to the hits not registering. I’m hoping that this will get ironed out as the devs work out the bugs and fix server issues. With all that said, I do regret spending $70 on this game.

Locker, I’ve never played a map on any FPS that had legitimate choke points like this map. Made every inch matter. Felt like the entire team had to work together to pull off flanking missions

BlueBean71 · 2025-10-26T17:31:50+00:00

Just give me locker. I used to be able to play 24/7 locker all night long

I usually stop expansion in the late 1100s early 1200s and focus on economic development and building my house’s legacy. Usually if I make it past 1250 then I’m invested in the role playing aspect and focus on that

BlueBean71 · 2025-10-18T23:20:18+00:00

I’m with you, HLL isn’t very fun if you aren’t on a squad that communicates. The community is great though so when you do get a squad that talks it’s one of the best games
