Hi! 1: In campaigns, try not to immediately go to war, let your GDP build up for a while first. Especially watch out for expanding your empire too quickly; Transport Losses from faraway colonies you can't defend will absolutely murder your economy. 2: Bigger guns aren't always better, I'd take a Mk3 12" over a Mk1 14" gun any day. (Mk3 being when most guns start being decent, and they obviously improve from there) 3: Big Guns is probably the most important tech to prioritize, throughout the entire campaign. Then Rangefinders until you get Radar Rangefinder 1 which is quite the gamechanger (Radar 2 and 3 are obv. better, but not that much better really). 3.5: If you start in 1890 or 1900, Hull Strengthening is the tech branch that gives you access to Dreadnoughts, which is also a gamechanger compared to pre-Dreadnougth battleships (as one would expect!) 4: The AI loves to fit torpedoes to everything. The best way to dodge them is to start turning already if you think they launched. 5: Anything that improves range will typically improve accuracy. A gun with a max range of 40km will be more accurate at 20km than a gun with a max range of 21km. Typically. 6: ...but be careful when adding barrel length, at some point you get diminishing returns and while your belt penetration might improve a bit, your deck penetration will suffer drastically. 7: The AI also isn't exactly the sharpest apple in the barrel, so there's no need to "cheese" and min-max everything to be as OP as possible. You can still win with ships you built because you like the look or the playstyle :) And I couldn't think of anything else, but 7/10 ain't half bad!

Yeah, absolutely! A lot of "gaps" have been filled for the different nations, especially with the new heavy and light cruiser hulls.

Same! So far the world has been far too peaceful (in the game, that is!) for there to be an episode tomorrow, but that's about to change.

@@Panzergrafis there any specific goals for the campaign? like fighting each nation, getting the largest guns, largest navy, or anything else like that? (hope to see the iowas or potentially the Montana class in the future)

@@panza_danza I have some vague ideas for goals, but nothing really decided yet. I'll get back to you on that! I'll most likely get to fight each nation at least once though. Campaigns go on until 1965 now, after all.

I typically just look at how fast the ship can go before cost and displacement goes out of control, and without losing too much operational range. The "target fast speed" negative modifier to accuracy that the enemy will get is very very valuable, in my opinion.

@@Panzergraf Yeah, that shouldn't really be in game since matching the orientation nullifies that issues especially at longer ranges. You don't even have to match the speed as long as you're in the right ballpark. (Former IFV gunner - conscript)

@@aleks5405 o7 I was a tank gunner myself (also conscript), we used dynamic lead for moving targets though. The Leo2 FCS took care of the calculations. I know there were tables for firing with the FCS off, but we never got to train for that... I think they just made speed give a flat debuff to accuracy in this game because it's simpler than having different accuracy modifiers dependig on target orientation relative to your own ship's orientation.

Yes, a little bit more freedom than usual I think, as you can more freely place components without getting absolutely horrible weight offsets and pitch/roll values.

@@Panzergraf that is cool that is how it should be Can i ask.. when i try to ,,continue,, or ,,new,, campaign the game crashes but custom battles goin.. what options i have to fix it

Both this game and RTW are fantasy worlds unless you download the RTW realism mods lmao.

Calm down nerd, this game, like most others, is fantasy. They might be based on real tech, but even then you have to make the game fun enough and balanced enough to play or why bother? Hell, the largest navel gun caliber ever used was what, 18 inches? The base game goes up to 20.9 IIRC. So yeah, chill out, sheesh...

@@imthejman85 Ikr, the OP doesn't realise that this is an alt-history game from the date you take office.
