    The issue with HOI4 is just the massive air/sea regions there’s no depth to it. The HOI3 operational area system is so much more expansive and being able to bomb city or a country and select fewer specific regions makes sense. The same issue applies to sea combat and the complete lack of strategic depth, you either have more and better ships or you don’t. Guess paradox AI would be too dumb to play the naval game.

    At this point looking at the new italian tree they really need to redo the focus trees for all the major powers since they really feel outdated by now, even the already reworked ones feel lacking compared to the italian one. I was also really hoping that the new peace deal system would finaly prevent border gore but somehow hungary really has a thing for french brittany appariently. Landlocked nations really should not be able to annex territory across the continent.

    Also, the Italian navy can handle itself 9/10 times if you build the ships in the production queue. Add 100 naval bombers to each air zone in the Med and you're pretty much good to go. I'm not sure if they've added negative debuffs that will dramatically affect the Italians, but as of current you really shouldn't be getting the whole navy sunk. Just don't try it without building any ships... that was painful to watch.

    I see what happened. Never put surface ships on convoy raiding. That's what subs are for. It's a waste of oil and gets ships sunk. All 6 battleships should be together, and set to strike. Along with the heavy cruisers, 10 light cruisers, and 25 destroyers all in one fleet. The rest of the destroyers can be split into 8's and set to convoy escort or patrol. Split subs into 8's and put on convoy raiding.
