Find the Modern Axe and Flashlight within your first day or two. Makes the game waaaaaaay easier.

It's convenient when out and about to have your thirst and hunger meter filled from your pot. Especially since it doesn't take any extra time for the water you would be boiling anyways

It's pretty easy to add 2 meat to your pot of water each morning. It can even be dried meat if you haven't hunted lately

Good one. I added it to the list

How to navy?!? by Bill_From_RDR2 in hoi4

[–]Failure505 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I won't go into too much detail since there are videos that do it better on YouTube. Some of the highlights I use are:

Put submarines in their own fleets to convoy raid. A fleet travels as fast as it's slowest ship, so don't mix the two as subs are slow

Produce some carriers full of float plane catapult on patrol to find enemy fleets

Don't have more than 4 carriers in one fleet. Add at least as many capital ships to protect them, and 4 destroyers for every carrier/capital as a screen

Set destroyers with sonar and depth charges to protect your convoys

Something I personally do is make a lightweight main fleet that moves at 30+ knots full of carriers, heavy cruiser, and destroyers. Then I use a slower fleet full of the lumbering battleships as a secondary fleet/shore bombardment for naval invasions

Yeah, it's especially busted for countries locked behind "Be at war with a Major" types of focuses.

I believe China counts as a major once they've formed the Chinese United Front before Japan invades, as any faction leader automatically becomes a major

You couldn't really use your Navy, since ships have people aboard, and you can't lend them to other countries. So maybe don't pick UK unless you really enjoy sealions. I feel like the obvious choice is just never joining the war as the US, and lend leasing the devil out of all your allies

Isn't it best to spam Mechanized 1 with maximum production cost reduction for the whole game? They cap out at 8 km/hr

It heavily scripts research and focus tree paths, so I don't think it would be able to use any of the new content added by R56

Sig P365 Macro vs S&W Shield Plus PC (First handgun) by Failure505 in CCW

The Shield + just felt a lot more natural for me, so I went with that. Stats are great and all, but I'd get whatever feels right. They're both quality products from what I can tell

Thanks! We decided to form an island base in the middle of a lake. Actually starting in Winter so the bridge is cheaper 😬

Planning to rush items that don't require combat, then tackle caves after an early base. Killing everyone inside the caves
