Fun strategy, a recommendation for when you take over the Dutch would might be to puppet and then add resource rights to the Dutch East Indies when you conquer them. You get their full production of rubber, for free, without the usage of any convoys for six years

Just played a U.S. game. They have a 300% research bonus for heavy fighters, which I checked out. It does still work, and gives you the bonus for the medium airframe. Which is honestly way better now than it was before since you can get bombers and fighters out of it.

The caveat to that being engine III's are dramatically better than engine II, so researching that becomes a priority. I don't like using 4 engines if possible. Or even 3.

When puppeting Dutch East Indy, you can add to demands Resource Rights, so you dont have to trade for stuff which you have conquered... just ayin.. And if you check "Auto Upgrade" for tonks or aircraft or ships, it will automatically generate a new model once you reasearch something better for that thing you are building... for Free.. you do not have to rebuild planes every time you research airframe.. just check the box :)

I really like the subtle music underlying the video!! Also here for Nigel

I have no clue why, but I started clapping when Nigel was in the video. No idea why my subconscious decided that was the response required.

I'm so excited for Vicky 3! can't wait to see what you & all the other content creators start your first games as!

I did some testing and normal fighters out trade the heavy fighters in terms of IC cost by a longshot, so no heavy fighters are not broken even though they nerfed agility it doesn't actually means that it no longers matter just have a lower impact. So the "META" for fighters is not heavy fighters not even close.

You should’ve put Goering into power for this playthrough, would’ve been fitting to have heavy planes and the heavy Air Force leader himself

Yeah I've noticed the uk is always way short of equip. Go to the new logistics tab as an ally and it's crazy

Love your content Alex 😊

Nigel is such a gigachad, that even gigachad himself has said it.

I'm torn on the heavy fighters. I did a play through with cheap light fighters and only put 2 guns on them with the best engine with nothing else and massed produced those and it was kindve the same effect. I did however run into manpower issuess.

I think it's more of a "AI don't know how to make plane" rather than heavy fighter being OP. Anything properly designed by player will always be better than AI designed garbage.

Alex, when you early war the dutch you can take their mainland and satellite the islands in caribbean for oil. You can also add resource rights on the east indies and the islands for free rubber and oil

I think adding defense turrets isn't worth imo. You can cheapen the production cost by removing those.

Heavy fighters win 1v1, but their production cost means they will never actually win in a war of attrition.

they are not overpowered tho , in fact they are worse then L-fighters in every way but you were fighting nations who have terrible starting planes , you maxedout your doctrine and had stacked advisors and spirits of airforce , also Had numbers advantage (due your production is way higher then these countries) if you had similar comparable regular fighter you would do better as they are twice as cheap and only marginally worse every test i seen (and done by me too) proves that not only small fighters beat mediums , but also trade better. only advantage they offer is bigger range and they might be better for shoting strat/super armored bombers

@Gustav_Kuriga

That bigger range is huge. It massively increases the amount of effective fighters you can have in a single airzone. I see so many people not realize the full implications of large air range. AND they can pull double duty as CAS/Tactical bombers.

@@VarenvelDarakus And I can have heavy fighters on one end of Europe providing support on the other side of Europe. I can easily triple the number of planes in a zone. Instead of having three lines of factories making fewer of three types of planes, I can have one that provides air superiority with passable CAS capability. You say they are worse at CAS, and I say that doesn't matter so long as I'm the only one that has CAS flying. If they even try flying CAS I can obliterate it. If they try to fly lights I can gain local supremacy with superior range. The one weakness is being able to afford to produce them in sufficient numbers, meaning they aren't feasible to use as a minor where you won't have the production capacity to create the efficiency of scale.
