You'd have to be silly to think that paying $80 (or whatever the going price) for a nobility title is anything more than a novelty. Take the cool sheet of paper and don't worry. Unless the company is a front for traffiking or something like that, I really don't care.

Just bought some of your country ball stickers. Love the vids. 🎉

So I did some research on which is more optimal: tanks early or improving the industry. Important to note that before NSB treaty with the USSR gave Germany a 2.0 year ahead of time penalty reduction on 1940 medium tanks. Now it only gives a 100% research booster. So by going the route you did and rushing tanks you can start researching the mediums and it would take about 530 days (with designer). However if you go for 4 year plan -> Autarky -> both of the civ focuses -> Army innovations -> by the time you finish treaty with the USSR it would take 469 days to research the mediums (with designer). If you spend 140 days doing the civ focuses it would only take 79 days longer to research the tanks due to the ahead of time penalty. Going for civs is at least in my books better because with the tank path you're losing 12 civs worth of industry for 140 days (army innovations + treaty with USSR) but you're not getting the tanks that much earlier.

I love how his plan involves going around and beating up all the old allies.

I believe i cheesed so hard this one, I puppeted ireland in 1936, rushed fate of czechoslovakia, dismantled axis and joined japan faction

I think the meta for medium tanks is and improved medium cannon, which you get the from fourth at research. 3 man turrent best radio 3 light machine guns 9 speed and and the basic medium tank chassis. It costs like 11.52 ic or something like that

Not gonna say it is the META but when i was trying to build ships ive always built the Super heavy battleship with best batteries and best radar i have. I manage to build just one or two until the beginning of the war as Germany but you know, quality over quantity and i put my submarines on convoy raiding in English channel with always engage as well as my ships in strike force. And when the engagement starts at the end my ships managed to sink half of the royal navy just by the super heavy battleship. You should try it.

There is actually a bug with justification now where you do not need positive pp to continue justifying. It will throw the alert to warn you that it is not progressing but when you look at the timer it is progressing.

Regarding naval meta: Just spam early cruiser hulls or '36 cruisers with armor 3, and max light attack (and AA). Make sure to put them on always engage and you are golden. Done by EfficientStrategyGaming, and seems to work reasonably well. Or just spam Carriers, they are OP again.

I havent watched that far into the video, but theres an even easier way to do this.

I know how to start every single German civil war with 36 divisions for the monarchists vs 24 divisions for the Reich. Idk if its a bug but you can place all your divisions on area defense on a single tile in the far bottom left corner where Germany, France, and Switzerland all share borders.

Hey bittersteel, Im a navy guy and here is some info about why your fleet didn't do too well Most importantly, the British carriers tore you a new one. Carriers are incredibly powerful now and even in the hands of AI, they can and will ruin your day. Having green air is enough to prevent carrier naval bombers from taking off. Aside from that, you didn't have nearly enough heavy cruisers. Their battleships just tanked your heavy cruiser damage because they're battleships. You also had no light attack to deal with their screens. Lastly, retreating in a naval battle is basically the lose button. Always put your fleet on always engage and rather manually retreat if things start going wrong, when your navy retreats it basically goes stupid and you take alot of damage.
