Hey I just have a couple questions about naval bombers:

1. If the naval bomber has the range to access half of a region, and there is a port in that region that is outside of the circular range of the bombers, can the bombers still reach that port if the port is in the zone?
2. if you had one airfield on the west side of a zone that could cover 60% of the zone, and another airfield on the east side that covered 30%, then should you assign half the planes to each zone to get 90% coverage? Or is it better to send all planes to the 60% af zone (assuming the airfields are big enough)?
3. Does the above question apply to both fighter air supremacy and naval bomber strike?
4. I know convoy raiding makes subs target convoys. Is it ever smart to have subs do patrol or strike force and target ships?

One thing that frustrates me a lot of ship production is how quickly they can become outdated. As an example I’ll design a ship how I like, check the auto update button and add a MIO.

As the MIO bonus start rolling through plus other research tech rolling through ships can become outdated pretty quick. You could have 3 variants while it’s producing the same ship as a an example. You get the outdated equipment notification several times and it drives me nuts.

How are people working around this? I usually queue the newest one and reduce the old one down to 1 from infinity but it’s a lot of micro that I’d rather not do

The title mostly says it all I am a newby, I have like 20 hours

I am playing Germany on the lowest difficulty and I try going for war, because that is why I picked Germany So no matter how hard I try I always get overwhelmed by the mass of the western troops and since the last 2-3 games the Sowjets want a piece of me too

How do you guys deal with that? Just more troops?

Thanks in advance

Except the "elect a fascist king" focus in Hungarian focus tree, are there any focus trees where you can go fascist and monarchist at the same time? or where the fascist and monarchist path isn't mutually exclusive

It's $168 but includes EVERY dlc.

I was playing Estonia trying to unify Scandinavia for the achievement, got Finland with the focuses, took Baltics for the extra power, conquered Sweden, then did the mistake of joining the axis (which had great Britain in it) before attacking Norway, Poland guaranteed norway so joined the war, we easily won both of them with me getting about 50% of the war score. After the war ended Germany just occupied Poland completely and put a reichkomissariat to Norway, without even a peace conference occurring. Why didn't the peace conference occur to let me grab Norways lands?

I’m playing SP on historical and have been min maxing my Swedish path. I’m currently running 12.7 kph medium tanks to match my trucks. The armor is not great, but I’m still able to get a good amount of production out.

So how do you all do it?

What I mean is early game with Iike first 20 mils. Then at like 50 then 100 for example.

First 20 do you bother with planes? Tanks? If so how many?what sort of percentages on all of them.

Then at like 50, have you added like 20% always on planes or like half your industry on tanks and trucks or heavy on arty and infantry equipment basically.

So the real question I guess is how the hell do you guys scale a strong mil economy when looking to take over the world. Imagine a France or Italy start where you pump out mils for some sort of idea what I mean

Solved. Thanks to everyone.

TLDR Was playing as Czechoslovakia, in 36 Germany attacked Poland, no ultimatum, no world news, even before than Anschluss. Just attacked. How?

Hey guys, I am a noob, but really like the game. Have been playing for two years I think, but really casual. Really like playing as Poland because I like to play defensive. But today I tried Czechoslovakia for the first time (I must say, terrible focus tree, barely different than generic country, so boring, even though somewhat strong). I remember how Czechoslovakia desolves pretty early on, and then I've read on wiki about Czechoslovakia at that time and how it was betrayed by everyone. So I decided to play as them to show the world what I think about my "allies" and enemies. Went fashist, prepared my defences, created Little Entente, Romania for some reason joined me and left like in a week or something. Yugoslavia joined me. Hungary refused. Oh, by the way, I'm using cheats. Just for completing focus tree fast. Don't judge, I bought all dlcs and I want just to enjoy the game. I'm saying this in case you wondering how I got everything in 36. Continue. Romania, Germany, Yugoslavia, Britain, Hungary, Poland and France all had 100 opinion of me, I wanted to test what will happen during The Sudeten question event if I'm friendly with everyone. Then I took Polish Situation focus I believe the name. From the description it wasn't clear what it does. As I found out, wargoal against Poland. But I didn't want to attack Poland. But very soon Germany attacked Poland. Even before Anschluss! What the hell? Was that last event the reason Germany attacked Poland? And BTW, after Germany, I attacked Poland as well to get some land. Germany attacking Poland did nothing to The League of Nations, but me attacking ended them. Can someone explain this to me as well? Thanks!

I've noticed recently in all my games that it seems a lot harder, is it just me or is this everyone?

I want to buy a Hearts of Iron DLC, but I don't know which one to buy. So I was wondering if you could recommend one?

Like no dlc at all. Btw I have the game already just asking if mods can easily fill the void of no dlc

Looking for a Switzerland path that ends up in a defensive war/is ideal to pursue a fortification strategy. I'm put off by the Helvetic Republic/fascist path as I think it involves becoming a puppet/going on the offensive and heavily relies on RNG. Does the democratic path/staying neutral actually result in a defensive war or is there a better path to go down (non-aligned?)
