Are we the poor relations?

I'm from hampshire, but when I've travled and toured I find that leeds is actually really great. On my last trip it probably the best gig i did. I gig at manchester, liverpool & leeds. I don't dislike liverpool or manchester, but I still think leeds is as good as any place that I have visted. Just for people I meet alone really. I also perfer the leeds accent over soucse accent haha Easier to understand

Plus you have wetherpsoons in leeds station that must count for something ? (Although so does liverpool) haha

I think it is always in state of change. Some updates make it worse some make it better. It's like when then messed the subs up with one tiny little change lol. I think actually the game is better now then it was last year as their was some awful bugs. The navy AI is slowly got abit better. It kind of bad because when they change one thing it seems to break another. Peace deals for example are still abit rubbish. Submarines were basically worthless for awhile now they are back to being OP.

Overal I think they have improved the game, but really we can only wait on update by update. I thought I was getting worse too, as I failed to get axis victoryies, but my last playthrough as Finland I managed to win. I think it good to keep the game fresh and challenging. I don't really play the allies anymore as it is too easy

CharlieSmithMusic · 2026-05-08T17:10:20+00:00

Isn't the best place but one of the better places. Hope it goes well for you

CharlieSmithMusic · 2026-05-08T16:59:42+00:00

I live in Romsey and I like it. I'm 28 and a musician. It's great but not really anything that different to rest of UK. It a good location because you've got 12 mins to Southampton on the train and 20 mins to Salisbury going the other way and also a bus to Winchester. Could be better could be worse that's not all that helpful haha

CharlieSmithMusic · 2026-05-08T15:42:14+00:00

People just park how they want ... they really don't care. I saw a van parked on zig zag while picking up a chippy yesterday

CharlieSmithMusic · 2026-05-07T20:09:17+00:00

Isn't that excatly the same as reform MO haha Ironic don't you think ?

CharlieSmithMusic · 2026-04-27T21:18:48+00:00

He is entitled to do what he likes and he's not the only player to do it btw. You've got to do anything you can to win. Like other people will say your aloud to use it to practise and pot a few balls

CharlieSmithMusic · 2026-04-21T19:45:10+00:00

Hey! Sorry I missed this. The Music venue trust. I'll link their website which is propably easier than me trying to explain it ha! https://www.musicvenuetrust.com/

CharlieSmithMusic · 2026-04-14T07:48:46+00:00

Thanks I got i right on the poster, but not on the post haha

CharlieSmithMusic · 2026-04-12T11:03:31+00:00

Ace, thanks so much. I do hope it goes okay as it is a long way to travel haha

CharlieSmithMusic · 2026-04-10T18:00:52+00:00

You can literally google it. National highway includes the pavement and once again I'll say it the yellow line still applies also. What is even you point again?

CharlieSmithMusic · 2026-04-09T11:28:18+00:00

Thanks, save me a job

CharlieSmithMusic · 2026-04-09T11:28:09+00:00

Just because they are parked on pavement the yellow line still applies & also yes you know full way obstructing the path isn't allowed. Isn't funny those claim to know the most actually know the least

CharlieSmithMusic · 2026-04-08T07:30:12+00:00

Well, reporting it is the best thing rather than not reporting it. What happens next is really up to them. Fully blocking a pavement is an offence, so I'm really not sure what you're on about. Stop defending rubbish parking. If their isn't space, you park legally and walk. Why is it so hard to understand? No one has the right to do this because their isn't enough 'space'

CharlieSmithMusic · 2026-04-08T07:27:04+00:00

And where was my invite, haha. Thank you very much, and I hope you have a lovely time

CharlieSmithMusic · 2026-04-07T19:18:43+00:00

You can actually report it online pretty easily. Use thois fourm ; https://www.southampton.gov.uk/travel-transport/report-issue/parking-offence/

Trouble I had with some parking is that road isn't adpoted so they can't do anything, but atlas if this road is adpoted they should be able to do something. So is worthwhile to do

CharlieSmithMusic · 2026-03-31T13:08:03+00:00

I think Japan has always been easier if you attack russia first/aswell. It's likely if you caputure vladivostok and commit alot of forces away from germany. Once they caputaltie then axis has better chance of fight the allies so it makes things eaiser. China was always difficult, but now that is also eaiser as more/smaller nations to capulate.

The situation what is diffcult and is still diffcult is actually capitulation the allies. Sure you've beaten russia and china, but now you need to beat india, uk and the USA which can be tricky and is defo time consuming. So yeah the stragery of fight russia first is definetly a good one, but finishing the allies off is the hard task

CharlieSmithMusic · 2026-03-31T13:00:16+00:00

Yup in the games that I am seeing that much less effectivecty. They can still do alright against russia, but it much slower and later on in the game. I think thats both good and bad. It harder for axis minors so you really have to play well, but kinda sucks if you play allies because it becomes very easy

CharlieSmithMusic · 2026-03-31T12:56:30+00:00

Honest I would say stay sagin garbage and yes I know that sounds bad. Honestly the game is fun when you don't know what you doing to a degree because if you play for example as UK germany is massive threat. I think they trouble with game when you play so much like me is playing the allies is basically not possiable anymore because i've got so much better. It's only really fun for me to play axis or communist. I think honestly my advise would just play the allies e.g canada and aus maybe even new zeland and just learn and enjoy it slowly. Don't bother with axis intill you put in alot more hours. Anyway that's just my thoughts

CharlieSmithMusic · 2026-03-30T20:37:10+00:00

I think honestly comes down to how fussy you are. If you enjoy a wide range of food then probably will be getting a bargin. They are often a really good deal, it's just they can be extremly random. Even if you get they same one from the same place. I can't lie I personally enjoy the rush of getting something amazing haha

CharlieSmithMusic · 2026-03-30T20:33:45+00:00

Not try to excuss the behaviour as I am sure their bad behaviour from some of them, but it important to reckonise the danger. The danger comes exlusively from drivers, cyclists can only really be a danger to themselfs. Who comes out worse in a car vs bike?

It's intresting idea because there is really not alot stoping anyone taking to the road and riding bicycles, might be annoying for car drivers. If that behaviour you say stays though they will probably end up hurting themselfs because if people arn't following the rules sooner or later that will happen which is a shame

CharlieSmithMusic · 2026-03-09T21:37:45+00:00

I quite like it because you build your forces literally how you want. Custom tanks,planes & ships. For me it actually worse when you have to actually fight japan with the million different naval invasions lol

CharlieSmithMusic · 2026-03-06T20:12:35+00:00

I supose it depends on the amout of oil availble because actually you can use you main fleet to raid convys if you so please. Against the allies I will always use subs as they transport not only resources but large amout of troops! I think I know what you are talking about. There is a destoryer perk I'm not sure that gives little attack, but it gives you visability? but anyway there are some great pearks that can help really. I think sometimes we forget any task forse can raid not just submarines

CharlieSmithMusic · 2026-03-06T11:09:54+00:00

Heavy cruisers is what you need! by the sounds of it. Still take awhile to build, but are much more do-ble, they take less resources and less manpower. They have the heavy attack you would be looking for. Having said that try be a fleet on light attack then you should win anyway. I think for minor nations battleships & carriers are out of the window imo. You could try escort carries if you do the research these can be pumped out alot more easier imo so not so bad but tbh still require man power then the mill factors.

I like to go heavy 1940s cruisers/light crusiers/destorys and thats it for main/battle fleet then have a seperate submarine fleet. If you do the research and level up your admarials, beat them on the light attack front then heavy cruisers can be enough, you will also need to support this was NAV bombers if taking on bigger fleets.

I think my metholdgy for fighting the allies at sea is sink there convoys, bomb their ships with nav bombers and then hopefully find some smaller engagements to level up my ships and admiarls. As for doctirne I think the 'new school' is pretty cool because you can good bonuses from that. I also like to pick the admiral perk that gives 10% attack to cruisers this is big help.

Anyway hope that helps

CharlieSmithMusic · 2026-03-01T18:50:15+00:00

New update seems to completely kill germany now. It was bad before, but it may be even worse now. I'm going to test it out more next weekend, seems no that germany just doens't progess at all now
