The thing I like about this video is that he actually struggled. It wasn’t just the typical Hoi4 thing where the player just immediately steamrolls the ai but I still would like to see a video by a major hoi4 youtuber where they lose to the ai while being a major nation.
Majors are hard to lose as. With minors you have to grind for those first few factories so you can put together the engine, and then start up the engine to get you going- whereas with majors, you're just topping off the gas tank and going where you need to. Paradox games aren't very difficult either way though, and the only way to make it hard is by limiting yourself
Ai is braindead, for me after 100 hours every country is easy (except Luxembourg and Tannu-Tuva, but with some exploits they also easy), you can buff ai, but it's just time-consuming, not hard. Paradox should fix the ai.
I thought I would lose my first few games , but my italians pulled through in the end, the AI can do well for a time but it just collapses in the end. Either their frontline gets too big or they cant equip their devisions and then its battleplan ftw
@@resentfuldragon "when you don't know how to play the game, it's difficult" Difficulty due lack of knowledge ≠ actual difficulty. There is no real difficulty in this game, kinda objectively.
Seeing the budget escort carrier be called the Akagi class made my boat-wife loving ass chuckle. Love this series, looking forward to the historical France hold.
Dude these series are so good... I can't wait for the USSR one, I honestly didn't expect to enjoy this video THAT much it was reaaaaaally interesting to see Japan's tactics.
I doubt it, the italians in ww2 and the ottomans in ww1 were weak primarily due to horrible supply issues and a lack of training for troops later in the war. Both achieved some crazy stuff when they were properly supplied.
This is both fun to watch and interesting history wise seeing the thought and strategy of the Japanese empire, so how about going from one island empire to another and play the United kingdom, they not only had a lot of different war plans and strategy but also had a semi unique tank doctrine which could be interesting to play, not to mention you could try and defend the lowlands like they originally planed
@@DiscardPixel Oh yeah you said that things are gonna start getting unrealistic now when you started to prepare for Hawaii but already owned 3 quarters of Australia so I thought that was funny.
Maximum RP you should have brought two co-ops, one to represent the army and one to represent the navy, then have them constantly compete with each other.
Real guge effort put into this amazing video, props to you and editor. Ill watch more of this surely since its super interesting. What mod is this? Road to 56?
literally Romell saying the german soldiers surprised the word and Italians soldiers surprised the germans one. Talking about tactics ok only losing a bit too much eh?
@grimreaper6939 and I'm saying the tactics were orrible because italy wasn't prepared and also because and very bad logistics and tactics, but if you gonna say they lose over and over is not true
Great video as always! Although a meme about "Samurai we have a city to burn" probably was a bit too close for home! 😅 They did burn it irl and it wasn't pretty...
How is it that I wasn’t subbed the whole time. Keep making everyone smile and cheer DP While I was underway I did something similar. Cheese the Navy with building T1 naked cruisers with the Sasebo company and make those into your light/escort carriers after swapping to Yokosuka Navy Yard.
I have been watching some of your videos and i love them,but i have a question,which mod did you use in this video?if you can tell me it would be really cool,thanks!
2:50 yet were feared for bayonet combat skill that even the US marines were told to never fight Japanese marines in a bayonet fight because the Japanese marines were raised in bayonet fighting tradition.
The actual Japanese plan for america(not to invade them at all)was to Pearl Harbor, and take the south with blinding speeds to at-least stun the stats into letting them keep their land gains, and if it didn’t work they expected(if they actually hit the targets that would cause such a long time)it would take america 1 year to fix the harbor enough to begin a counter offensive, but they planned in such a situation that they would have managed to cement themselves enough to repel most if not all pushed from the states, because they actually knew they stood no chance in a long term war against america
I live in Alaska, which is a part of America. Why did you neglect to neon Vida Alaska? It has lots of very valuable ports, interstate targets, and a breach had into Canada.
I recommend it 100% it is definitely my favorite country, however it is challenging because it is very micro heavy, but it is non stop action and requires you to use every aspect of warfare in the game. There's also plenty of "ahistorical" yet still realistic routes you can take with it that aren't gamey, for example invading the USSR in 1941 with Germany rather than the US if you've beat China by then, or going to war with the Allies in 1939 (which is risky, but can also help the Axis immensely through denying the Allies rubber and therefore plane production when the German Airforce is at its strongest).

Watching him not capitulate China in order to maintain a multi-front war across the Pacific is laudable but so painful to watch.
I cant wait for him to cap in 39 when he does Italian tactics

If you're doing Soviet tactics, Encircle (they did that a lot) and recruit as many men as possible (And don't hold the Stalin Line)

I think playing real American tactics would be interesting because you have to fight 2 different fronts, which would be so complicated I imagine
Nah, not really

They did burn it irl and it wasn't pretty...
Did you research radar? Because in fact the Japanese never used radar😂, which is a big part of how they lost many of their battles
loved the videostyle keep it up :)
Thanks, will do! 🥰
“Wake the f up samurais we have a city to burn” i can here the scream and ranting in mandarin from thousand miles away 😂
