The republic united is even more easy, you just have to secure the mountainous basque land in the north and hold there, which distracts vital nationalists troops and then you just have to encircle nationalists in teruel and they are hopeless. For carlists or falangists just do same nationalist strat and then crush the other nationalist state when they rebel, and for the anarchists you get basically all of the republican territory so just crush the rest of the weak republic then grind down the nationalists

There is technically a strategic usage for nukes; bombing enemy airports to delete all the planes instantly, or by just spamming them on enemy deathstacks to delete half their equipment and manpower. But the other points do still stand; air superiority is required, and it is a waste of industry. Nuking enemy airports to delete planes happens in multiplayer games but in singleplayer games it'd be far easier to just produce better quality planes than the AI.

@bitt3rsteel the way to go with air for the moment is stack up as much air attack as you can. Modern fighter? Cannons II, as many as you can, self sealing fuel tanks and drop tanks. A single jet engine should do. But in general, the solution is the most cannons you can on a single engine. No armour on fighters, you need agility. When I went for the achievement as Ethiopia, I had 12 factories on air and I was keeping the entire allied air force at bay, trading somewhere around 13:1 at a certain point. Also, centralized control, ASAP, when you start the war. This is probably going to change with the news dlc, but for the moment, that's your way. And build radar, they do wonders.

That's all there really is to it. Having more than your enemy is good for air to air losses too obviously, but not needed. I can fight all of the allies with this design putting up 500-600 vs their 1000+ in france and trade 10 of mine to up to 80 of theirs in some battles.

I didn't think I was that good a player but my Spain, by 1949, tends to have over 50 puppets and be fielding hundreds of fully equipped divisions without ever going above Service by Requirement, all core territory and a significant amount of occupied territory covered in maxed-out radar and AA, enough synthetics to run tanks, air, and a massive stolen navy 24/7 without ever running low on fuel, and otherwise pretty much set up for a world conquest. (My current playthrough is in May 1953 and I have 1022 divisions with hundreds more in the deployment queue thanks to the magic of puppet manpower.)

For jet fighters, just go with 2x cannons as many as possible, best engine, one drop tank, the other +range modul, and two armor plates and you'll shred through everything

My guess is he is just outproduced by USSR, plus they might have radar / anti-air.

I kinda wish there was some kind of negotiated peace mechanic. Because once you hit nearly 10 years at war, it feels like both parties would want peace by then.

Poor bitt3r almost every time he has to manually rename the divisions to chanel members 😂

in 1952 you would for sure want cannons aswell on your fighter. I have 2 or 3 heavy MGs and 1 or 2 cannons on a jet fighter with 1 armor, 1 drop tank and 1 extra fuel tank, it shits on the AI also you would want to build radar so detection is as high as possible

@Kayvel54 10 ай бұрын

For your air I would more than likely change drop tanks out for another Armor plate and switch out one light machine gun for 1 cannon. I don't normally go past fighter frame 3's which are basically cannon 1's with 2X light MGs. with Engine 3's and 3x Armor plates. Yeah you won't have as much range, but in Europe there are enough airbases you really don't need the drop tanks.

Hi, you asked a question about fighters. I always use 2 2x guns and 2 4x heavy mgs for my jets and they are effective. And i use 2 jets engines.

27:00 your aviation is losing not because of templates, although they should have added cannons instead of machine guns, but this is not so important, mainly they are losing due to the fact that there are many times fewer of them, and at the same time, Soviet aviation managed to gain a lot of experience during the war years and aces, and meanwhile your air wings are at the very minimum level of training, well, plus in that air region you had less controlled land, which also affects the capabilities of aviation, plus if the USSR had already passed the focus on aviation, then it may have had bonuses from national perfume on her. btw still great video, i wish i had this skill

On my planes late game I use two cannon II and one of the x4 machine guns u have in urs. Then I do 2 engines at the third level with a drop tank and two armors. I don’t even use modern or advanced planes most of the time cuz they so expensive. I throw all that into an improved airplane and pump out 4to1 of my planes for ever modern plane. Plus it still trades really damn well especially if you have radar towers and full doctrine which u should by that time

@jackoakes1328 10 ай бұрын

Lately though, I don’t even use planes I don’t make a single one. I throw on an anti air tank or two if I’m very rich to every decision and go crazy
