    Hey guys! This is a first attempt at a new format and also the first time recording in my new monitor resolution: 3440x1440, so a 21:9 aspect ratio!
    Let me know what you think, both regarding the quality and the format! do you want more disasters saved?
    Edit: the people have spoken! In future, I will record in 16:9 1440p again! Thanks for the feedback. There was an attempt!

      I think most people still watch with a screen ratio of 16:9. So it will appear strentched and with black bars for most people. So for me I'd so no thanks to the 21:9. But keep up the new series with disaster saves

    Wow, I feel honored to have my save be the first one covered.
    If you want a bit of the story to fill in the gaps at the beginning (and at least provide my (flawed) logic for things): I knew I'd have a disadvantage in industry so I thought I would have to get my divisions as strong as possible, hence the 14/4s, thanks to Bitt3rSteel though I know that was flawed logic. Obviously, because you need a hell of a lot of equipment to support them, I didn't have the industry to train more divisions. Changing to 20 width and then force deploying a bunch didn't occur to me. I also wanted to squeeze out a couple of armored divs along with 25 mils on medium tanks to try to make encirclements early; they were only 20 width because I didn't think I could wait to get the production to support 40 width tanks, so I was surprised when that was exactly what happened. Regarding the air, I knew I done messed up (red air hurt) (hence the little bit of research and industry into aa) and planned on trying to make a bunch after AA2, but yeah. The main fleet was on convoy raiding because I forgot to defend North Africa but I saw some Italian naval invasions and scrambled to try to catch some of them; I know that that's not a good use in general for the main fleet though. There isn't really any excuse for the inefficient focus path (like neglecting Stimulate the Dynamic Market); that was all basically my inexperience. And finally, I went for the Battle of Maneuver Line for purely LARP reasons because one of the things Napoleon (the 1st) was known for was his use of Cuirassiers and I liked the idea of reviving the spirit of that with modern tanks.
    Anyway, great video to Bitt3rSteel! I learned a lot, especially because of how this video directly critiqued my play in a way. I'll be sure to give the Boche what for in my next attempt!

    So many People neglect Air - I would say its the most important factor in HOI rn - With Green Air and a good amount of CAS you can be pretty successful with plain 20W Cavalry divisions, wouldn't recommend it but its doable, and 7/2 divisions can also do just fine with sufficient air - and without air its not really worth having tanks because many of their advantages are taken away and their high production cost arguably speaking isn't worth it.

    • @wouterkessel4852
      @wouterkessel4852 3 года назад

      A lot of people don't do much with air because in mp, they usually have an air controller to do it for them, additionally, CAS while very powerfull is also very much a gamble in mp with how quickly it gets destroyed by good AA. Because of this many people make strategies for mp, then whenever they play sp they use those same strategies, without the air. Before anyone comments on how AA does very little: I once had a battle that lasted 1 month, both sides took more than 50k casualties and both sides lost more than 300 CAS. All because everyone had decided to rush AA2, not even fully to fight the hostile air, more because both teams had a player who followed a light tank meta for some reason. Also if you have actually good tanks, especially with a decent general against the AI, the battles will be over before the air actually starts effecting the batlle much if at all.

    @154Kilroy 3 года назад +1

    Btw, for your spotters, the light cruisers you chose have very low spotting, all the French cruisers at the start do. There is another class that has a spotter plane attached - whatever the Lamotte-Piquet is. Idk why I remember that... (Consider investing in Radar, or tier II spotter planes. A surface detection of at least 35 or above is ideal) The 1 Light Cruiser and four destroyers is perfect though. It's a great combo of being able to defend itself and also having low surface visibility.

    • @154Kilroy
      @154Kilroy 3 года назад

      And when you have naval supremecy, and know massive troop movements are going by sea, set your spotters to convoy raid, they're actually very effective in this task, but normally it's a waste of fuel. And you loose your spotting ability.

    A tip for the Navy, set the strike fleet to never repair or low repair priority. And MAKE SURE you turn off the setting for ships breaking off on their own to repair. That's a great way to loose capital ships to subs, and also a mistake the AI makes.

    • @154Kilroy
      @154Kilroy 3 года назад

      Also, for subs do the exact opposite, they're perfectly OK on their own to repair, and repairing frequently is the best setting

Then I got to Germany.....unless you are the US I'm firmly convinced that Germany is impossible to beat past 1940. I had 122 fully equipped fully trained divisions with max planning and level 4 land forts and level 5 AA in every tile, and they broke through my line with the garrison they had on my border while their main army was in Moscow. I wanted to finish the game but it's just impossible, Germany is OP.
