In this video I attempt to share with you all the lessons I learnt during my HIGHFLEET HARD Campaign using my own ships.
It was so much fun, a huge challenge & ultimately very rewarding but not I have done it I have learnt many important lessons and techniques which I share with you here in the hope it helps you achieve the same.
Let me know if you have any tips tricks or techniques too & I'd love to hear other HIGHFLEET HARD Campaign Success stories!

On one hand, the ship builder is fantastically fun and developing your own ships is practically a game in itself. On the other hand, it's fairly easy to make user-ships that trivialize the game's difficulty. You can give them so much thrust that enemy guns cannot track them, make them so durable that they're virtually indestructible, or simply shape them in such a way that the AI crashes into the ground trying to avoid collisions. Since there are few limitations on using custom ships in singleplayer I find the game more challenging when I restrict myself to using stock or near-stock designs. Still, it's a singleplayer game and there's no right or wrong way to play.
I like to start with stock only, but complete rework is fair game mid-campaign. I figure if I have the time to dramatically alter a ship that much I've earned it. I also feel like it's more enjoyable to build up to your ideal ship through the game, rather than just starting with it. But yeah, as long as someone's enjoying the game they should do what they want!
I honestly want to use it just to make cool-looking ships. For me, min-maxing turns everything into a game of Microsoft Excel.
@@n0denz This is where I fall on the spectrum. I appreciate having a little edge to make the game a little more forgiving, but when it comes down to it, the main goal is always aesthetics.
@Gg2 Hh metaslave
@@RoscleHilltopple I instead like to take stock ships and modify them a bit to make them feel like our rag tag crew jury rigged them along the way, makes me feel like I'm the underdog scraping at the barrel to make it through
My Hard campaign ended pretty dramatically. My last Strike Group, composed of nuclear-battered Sevastopol and Nomad, ended the last Balistic Carrier with a ram from the nomad. 10/10 would issue ramming order again
Magnificent Work Comrade! :-)
12:41 for you and anyone else coming across this.
Fuel can be un-bought by going back into supplies and reducing the slider to 0, you don't *have* to leave it behind.
That is true enough.
However, sometimes it helps to have pockets of fuel laying around too.
You can also right click the bar to sell the excessfuel.
IRST is actually a very accurate and passive system, as it shows an exact bearing (not an approximated bearing like ELINT) and you can identify what the enemy is by turning the IR scanner to the bearing, and looking at the waterfall display.
Note that the IRST will scan a full 360 degrees, as indicated by IR spikes on the HUD, the small focused bearing is just the sector that you're trying to identify with the waterfall display.
All this, the IRST is still a passive system and has 0 emissions meaning it is completely stealthy to use, and it also does not suffer from reduced range when you are landed.
Agreed, but the range us my issue. I'd prefer ELINT to give me a solid warning of an approximated direction so I can counter tbh.
I agree irst could have its uses, as a hunting device, but in all honesty I feel compelled to track the enemy strike teams more than cargo.
@@SimUKReviews IRST is the only way to passively know that the enemy is sending missiles (or aircraft) to you
But at this point you should really just turn on your radar & jammer.
Yeah ELINT and ranging enemies with routes on the map gives a fairly accurate reading too, only case for IRST i think is for ambush ships that are landed
A thing I found out, that you can mount your flares to a specific direction and when missile is close, shoot flares at an enemy ship, the missile will change its trajectory and kill an enemy ship.
this is a 900IQ move that I will definitely use!
Fast, agile ships are excellent if you're a very good pilot. I have a tiny corvette that costs less than 7k and I can kill garrison groups guarding cities single handedly with it. If I arm it with two bombs, I can heavily damage a cruiser with it, and maybe even finish it off with guns. (Bombs will require practice to use, I recommend playing with bombers in the ship editor.) That being said, big, expensive armored ships still have their place. Sometimes an enemy is just too powerful, and your flying skills aren't so stellar as to let you take on enemy strike groups with only a couple of corvettes. You can either try weakening them with missile and air strikes, or use armored ships to fight them on more even terms. A well built and heavily armed and armored frigate can kill cruisers. There are several designs in the base game that fulfill these criteria, but custom designs can often outperform these.
22:39
Radar range is cut to about 350-450 km when you are on the ground.
Another point on the personality points is that they will affect the crew morale events where you need to make a speech to recover morale (like the event where the sun's gone). High faith, order and/or Romani worldview make it more likely that morale doesn't get kneecapped and even recover the morale lost from the event.
It is worth noting that it seems like Gerat worldview and Romani worldview are not easy to raise and maintain at the same time, and that order is leveraged against getting certain allies on board that otherwise would be considered bandits and outlaws to be hunted. Don't know if it's a thing but if these also affect random city events, I would not be surprised.
Anyways, great guide! My PC is on the weaker side but I guess I can run it with every turned down XD. Might be a little before I can get the game and play it though. Custom ships are going to be the first thing I make when I do.
Yes excellent observations.
Thank you for giving me some strats that aren't just lightening spam. So many very cool ideas and very cool ship designs. I'm excited to give some of your designs a go!
Np friend. Good luck!
1 tips that i found useful when in battle...some ship will use proximity fuse ammo on you...shoot em in mid flight so they cannot hit you and hit enemy ship if they shot the P.F ammo...same as other big caliber gun that shoot at you either with H.E ammo or other...my ship will atleast have 4 gatling gun for that...
Yes indeed!
Wow, I didn't know someone could be this good at the game!
Best high fleet video I have seen. I'm immensely impressed
Many thanks!
Fantastic video. Thank you very much. I’m planning to buy the game and was hoping to get as much as possible information about it. Your video helped a lot.
Glad I could help!
Cheers mate!
40:34 im not sure if it was changed in a later patch, but ive heard that not keeping the furnaces on has no lingering morale effects (source: sseth's video on highfleet)
I've heard this mentioned before I think it was changed?
Comment because good content, keep going
The game is difficult and there isn't alot of content right now , hopefully more get added . But for now i will do couple of easy runs , delete and wait for couple of update to start the game on normal difficulty , thanks , useful guide
Great job!
Thank you! Cheers!
Very informative guide well done 👍
Thank you! 👍
Spoiler for the "to burn fuel" or "not burn fuel" decision event:
On normal difficulty (haven't tried it on hard yet) there is no penalty at all if you select the "don't burn fuel for the crew when idle" event option. No morale loss or loss of reputation with followers, at least in the few attempts that I've experienced to date. Burning fuel *does* give you a morale boost (+3 or +5? Don't recall exactly). Although this is a very expensive luxury if you ask me.
Agreed, many thanks and......(spolier)
turn the engines off then!!!
just dont burn fuel and use either Daud or Omar to gain back any lost morale, especially if you fail the speech check in the event where the sun doesnt rise
New sub. enjoying your videos, thanks bud.
Welcome & Thank You!
If your ships don't have landing gear... can they do ambushes? Like plop down in the middle of a trade route and turn the engines/radar off and wait for a juicy prize ship to come by? 'Cause that's what I like to do and boy is it delightful when my IRST lights up and hilarious when a convoy panics when it spots my super flagship launching.
😆 yeah that's nice!
They can....but if you want to do that specifically landing gear is advised.
Great video :)
Thanks.
28:12
you got the Kh-15P a bit wrong.
A-100
Fast tactical missile
400km range, supersonic (~4250kph)
Powerful, hard to intercept
Can be used to stop nuclear missiles
Kh-15
Cruise missile
1500km range, subsonic (900kph)
Slower and easy to intercept but is still relatively strong when it hits. Also the cheapest missile.
Both A-100 and Kh-15 has ARH(active radar homing) guidance, which means when active missile has a radar cone and locks on to anything that enters it, it also can be jammed.
You can also fire them in Semi active radar homing (SARH) mode, which has the benefit of being much more accurate and i think it's immune to jamming (not sure), but the enemy has to be within tracking range (the yellow ring on the map)
Kh-15P
Same stats as Kh-15, but has Anti Radiation guidance
Once active it'll have a 100km 360 degree radius, where it'll pick up any radar signature and lock on to it
IF it's a jammer, the radius expands to 500km. The Kh-15P is the ideal weapon to stop jammers.
This also means that if the enemy has no radar, it's absolutely useless as it won't track them.
R-3
Theatre ballistic missile
2000km range, hypersonic (~8000kph), flies very high and is nigh impossible to stop by conventional means.
No guidance, only flies to a preprogrammed coodrinate.
Now this is beautifully written! Bravo, much appreciated & I have learnt from it, but prey tell, how do you select missile tracking options? sarh vs arh?
@@SimUKReviews hmmm im pretty sure you click directly on the enemy for SARH, they have to be within tracking range.
Obviously, this requires a FCR to work.
@@henryhamilton4087 Yes, that makes sense actually. Seems I've been unconsciously doing this then 😃
Many thanks, much appreciated.
@@SimUKReviews Im also not sure, but supposedly SARH can work to targets in optical range (75km night & late game, 100 km day, on ships with no radar), and targets detected and tracked by aircraft....but im not so sure about this one
Still the prospect of being able to stealth launch a missile, and using a La-27 as terminal guidance sounds really cool
Interesting.
small tip. you can use your fire extinguisher to cool down your ship so you can boost again to get out of enemy fire
Thank you.
My last 2 comments disapeared for some reason, probably because i posted links to websites.
7:26 You will get the pot for Omar even if you skip the story.
16:00 Every Tarkhan has some worldviews that are random and some that are always same.
There is list of all Tarkhans and their worldviews on steam guides called: Tarkhans and you
Destroying fuel doesnt do much. Destroying Bridge, ammo, majority of their thrusters is what destroys ships. Ammo is highlighted in yellow.
another guide on steam called: How to easily destroy each armored ship
Good input.
You should try most recent patch, it changes the game and increases the prices.
Nice, thanks for the heads up.
I find the tutorial very useful
Thank you, I'm glad to hear that.
If you dont have time ti fill up all the fuel, just go back into the shop, and drag the fuel bar all the way to the left, and you will actually get all the money back for the fuel you didn't have time to fill up!
The times I have 'retreated' from a battle my ships have disappeared.
Ships disappeared completely?
@@SimUKReviews Same but the morale was very low, I guess that the strike group disbanded.
Hmmm, yes that could def. have caused it.
Been looking at this game recently to make a LP of after Kenshi.
Nice, do it
*Salutes*
Aye, Comrade!
I played an entire game without radar using only my wasp airplanes to scout
Oh nice one! I like the challenge GJ!
Hi! Love your videos. I have a question. Do aircraft carrier tactical fleets have infinitely respawning aircraft on hard difficulty? It seems like either all the aircraft tactical fleets in Gerat converged on me or they were able to continuously replace and rearm their planes. I invested heavily in air to air missiles for my planes and shot them down multiple times. Strike fleets got me eventually. Wow hard difficulty is tough.
Honestly i'm not sure. I made a point to destroy any AC as soon as I spot them.....far too dangerous!
@@SimUKReviews im guessing they it was one aircraft tac group continously reloading its aircraft as if repairing from an infinite pool based on the timing. Thanks for the reply. Hope you get big.
@@C05597641 cheers.
I have a love hate relationship with highfleet. it's soooo fun, but also WAAYY to damn hard. in the sense that so many gameplay elements contradict eachother. I did actually nearly finish the game on normal. tacticing my ass off by getting to Khiva and avoiding all SGs and carriers and missile craft. only to find khiva wit literally 7 strikegroups sitting on it. I was confused and pissed, I took my time and finally played the game right, got all the tarkhans, got hidden cities, I was ready for the endgame. I only had around 4 damaged fast attack craft, 2 tankers and my carrier flagship with me. only then I found out I actually needed to rush to Khiva while also somehow getting all tarkhans, and setting up for the endgame to stop the missle cruisers?? it's just too much, even on easy. actually ragequit and gave up on it for a year after I saw Khiva being assfucked with SGs cause I took my time and actually played the game. complete BS imo
LOVE and WAR my friend ... But you Def CAN defeat them all; and it is so rewarding when you do :-|)
You can get to khiva with just the Sevastopol, it can solo any strike group. Combine it with 1 carrier and 2 air defense craft for easy mode. Entering any city, your planes can be used to wipe out the garrison for no loot or use Sevastopol if you want the loot.
As for the tarkhans, I went the direction indicated from ur, and then up. As you find each tarkhan they will alert you to others. I would rarely backtrack unless to avoid sgs and if caught your aa will kill most missles and planes, and the seva can solo the cruisers.
That is probably the simplest way to get to khiva, if you are a good pilot you can use very maneuverable corvettes (lightning i believe) to get 100% sudden strike, youll get to attack 90% of encounters with the enemy starting on the ground, and the craft is fast enough to dodge everything (pick up/down or left/right and afterburner as they shoot)
When you're attacked by missiles and aircraft, how do you make sure that one of your AA ships is there to defend? Is there a ship priority menu where you can keep your AA ships in front? I've been watching people play the game and have only seen this option when attacking and when engaged by strike groups.
Last time I played, no. Just make sure you have AA and they will auto align (Most of the time)
Once i dropped a bomb, and through a series of embarrassing events, i ended up with it floating on top of my ship... yes i caught my own bomb after dropping it lol.
😆 amazing!
A very fast ship can actually hit a convoy before it can send a distress signal. I don't think any stock ships in the vanilla game are fast enough to pull this off. You'll need to ditch any system that isn't essential to be light enough to achieve this, and You'll need a huge bank of thrusters.
So I just found out you can use fire extinguishers!
😆 yep! Pretty important discovery there
Wait a minute. High explosive is the default ammo type.

they nerfed planes pretty hard lately, not as good but still good at scouting and weaking meduim strenght enemy forces
but what do you mean high explosive rounds? i thought all guns come with HE as default
Interesting.
No, he rounds are very useful, but you need to purchase them (can't see they would have changed that)
in short: dont turn on your radar
Quite. 😆
my problem is after taking over Khiva, no idea how to proceed with end game
Watch my lp, might help you?
Very good tutorials. I have a question. I don't know why, maybe I pressed a button or something, but when I zoom in on my fleets the camera doesn't follow them. An unimportant detail but it's driving me crazy. Do you know how to solve it? Thanks for the tutorials.
When are we talking about?
@@SimUKReviews On the campaign map. When you zoom in on a fleet and put the view where you see the ground. In this particular video I can't find a moment where it happens.
@@SimUKReviews I've searched the first video of your campaign on hard but I couldn't find any moment where you zoom while the fleet is moving. Take a look at this video. Minute 1:42. See how the camera follows the fleet? In my game it doesn't. And it's driving me crazy xD
@@SimUKReviews th-cam.com/video/7RUrBmXUGuU/w-d-xo.html
Regarding launching planes in combat, is it true that they won't ever return to your ship and are effectively destroyed after the fight? Seems a bit stupid if true and that's what I read elsewhere.
No, they return to your ship, but only if you are still within the circle range you set at launch.
@@SimUKReviews I feel like we're talking about different things. If you set a circle presumably you launched them in a strike on the world map.
I'm talking about launching them with the hotkey during an actual battle.
My bad. Hmm, you know I can't remember if that is what happens.
@Sim UK im having a problem im wondering if you know the answer. My ships occasionally just stop being able to go to the complete rang of the fleet. For example i fuel up and a city will be in range but as i fly there my range gets shorter and shorter as if im leaking fuel or something. I check and its my hunters i think (your ship design) and they run out of fuel. I thought my tankers would share fuel to them? thanks for the help if anyone knows.
Are you currently keeping the engines on to heat up the crew?
@@SimUKReviews after asking around of reddit i found the issue. Some older modded ships will stop working as soon as they enter the shipworks because of one of the updates. But thanks for the help!
@@brendanwilliams281 Glad you found the reason.
How do i send multiple air crafts in a single raid ?
Click multiple times to select.more than one
Comment
No, you comment.
@@SimUKReviews love your content
Cheers 🍻
Love your comments ❤
Anyone got any idea of how to modify ships to make the ridiculous lack of money less of a problem?
e.g. Putting planes and long ranged missiles on the sevastopol.
I don't know what I'm doing when it comes to adding engines and fuel tanks without making fuel efficiency drop like crazy.
40:38
according to SsethTzeentach's review there is no morale penalty for not leaving furnaces on:
th-cam.com/video/7RUrBmXUGuU/w-d-xo.html
it's like he said: some choices are not made equal..
i tried it out and yeah you dont get punished for it
You can solo this game on HARD with one ship without flying anywhere. Well, then you have to go to Khiva and do some stuff, but overall difficulty is pathetic. This game is meant to be played on basic ships with some minor tweaks.
