Italy Is BRUTAL In Arms Against Tyranny

Its a LONG video again.

The naval game single handedly manages to be the most fun mechanics in HoI4 and the most useless one at the same time. What a performance.

Feedback, its a GREAT idea do to this form of guide, not only with Germany, but with all the majors (a minors too btw, excluding generic focus tree), it's an amazing way to attract new players into the game, Hoi4 looks a little bit too complex for a lot of new players, so guides like this make them feel more confident on their first 2-3 runs

When you run out of steel you can refit the ships to just use the shipyards for something. Also you can upgrade tanks to reduce steel usage when you have good stockpiles.

You asked AND I shall deliver

I remember about 4 years ago watching your vids and picking up HOI4 for the first time. I was used to Civ5 mechanics and completely got my ass handed to me the first few games. But paying attention to your playthroughs got me up to speed quick, and soon I was pulling off encirclements, and winning wars. I think you're the only creator I've seen that actually breaks everything down for the new[er] players. Even being a seasoned 2,000+ hours player myself, I still learn quite a bit from your vids. Just used the field marshal shift-right-click offensive line tonight for the first time, and it worked far better than general lines partially overlapping each other.

I find my fleets perform better if I split a death stack up into a few really small patrols for each region on always engage and then the rest on one or two reasonably sized strike force groups on always engage. Patrols find ships quick with huge bonuses for when the strike forces arrive. They don’t have fleet size issues either.

I still believe that the navy game is "over hated". I feel like it has gotten more love recently but I still see many people utterly hating it. I must admit I really like it, especially late game. Because at some point you have such a powerful navy that you can blow any US or UK fleet out of the sea, I particularly enjoy the axis navies.

Just an FYI to people wanting to use this guide, it’s actually quite important to hold onto the African territories because if you let the Balance of Power tick against Mussolini for too long you will get in a civil war

I love how at some point during the recording process he just decided f"ck it iam not gonna edit this Now it's a series

Maybe I missed it, but one thing of note is that there is a focus under develop Libya (I think its called Petrolibya Society) that adds a shitton of oil production in Libya. Not enough to run a huge fleet or something but it helps ALOT. EDIT: I was wrong.. spent too much time playing R256. There is still an oil focus in BBA but it's not AS good.

This is exactly the type of videos I prefer! Keep up the great work

22:44 Italy actually can have recon, its unlocked in the colonial management tab.

Mr Feedback thank you once more. I was looking to branch out into other countries except Germany and you've yet again made EXACTLY what I was looking for

You literally read my mind, I was just looking for your latest content on Italy since I wanted to give it a go again and I haven't touched it in a long time, and then this popped up, AND its a long video, it's like Christmas came early this year lol.

Love your Hoi4 videos Dave, the more/longer the better❤

Some really useful info about updates, thanks! And as always very enjoyable too.

One thing I found out is that Italy has such weak Generals because they give you the opportunity to create your own. By the time WW2 began, one of my generals had Organizer, Infantry Expert, Trickster, Mountaineer, and 5 Attack.

Feedback, this is all I've ever wanted! Just an up to date, deep guides on how countries are played. Please keep this series up (if it is gonna be a series, hopefully)

Wait dave you have covid ? Aorry to hear that hope you get better soon 😢
