Italy Is BRUTAL In Arms Against Tyranny

Dunno if yohmu have done it, but still just wanna throw it out there. If you want your navy to actually engage and fight the enemy fleet put it on always engage, that way it won't retreat mid fight if you don't want it to (retreating doesn’t allow ships to deal damage though they will take damage), if your gonna do this either turn on automatic split off for repairs or put the fleet on never repair, other wise if a heavy ship or even destroyer gets enough damage it will automatically start repairing those ships and won't allow ANY (atleast that how I remember) ships to give supremacy. If you just want to give supremacy just put it on never engage, it won't actually fight the enemy fleets, meaning unless the naval bombers do enough damage the enemy forces may get enough naval supremacy to either just stop you naval invasions or get enough for them to naval invade, however if you have a big enough fleet in a port they can't bomb (port strike, either getting air supremacy or using interception will stop, don't know for sure which will work better) then you should still get supremacy and might be enough to naval invade where you need.

Nice 😊

Italy is the best nation to play in hoi4.

Just an FYI to people wanting to use this guide, it’s actually quite important to hold onto the African territories because if you let the Balance of Power tick against Mussolini for too long you will get in a civil war

Overly large and hard to command? Just like me!

Yo how about try the soviet onion with navy supermarcy to beat germany
maybe a new interesting challenge and would be a good attraction to viewer! :)

When you set up your naval invasions, did you split your fleet into strike groups or just leave it as a death stack? Even if you can maintain naval supremacy, you're limited in number of simultaneous invasions based on your number of separate groups assigned to invasion support, because each strike group needs to escort your invasion convoys en route to the LZ. I learned this one the hard way the first time I decided to fight Japan "historically" as the Free American Empire. I had my transport tech maxxed, with a full army of Marines all set to island hop, six brigades to an island. I had the supremacy, but I got to watch my single fleet run one invasion and then move on to the next until I split it and each force picked an invasion to support.

Democratic Tannu Tuva every single click now.

love the longer vids!

Why didn't you just puppet ethiopia at the victory menu? You can still take that national focus you wanted

Feedback, this is all I've ever wanted! Just an up to date, deep guides on how countries are played. Please keep this series up (if it is gonna be a series, hopefully)

You literally read my mind, I was just looking for your latest content on Italy since I wanted to give it a go again and I haven't touched it in a long time, and then this popped up, AND its a long video, it's like Christmas came early this year lol.

Ha I am not the only one who just passed covid I had covid for the 4th time last week

Yes!! Thanks Dave

@DaveFeedBackGaming I'd love to see a video on the government in exile mechanics just because I still have no idea how it works.

When you run out of steel you can refit the ships to just use the shipyards for something. Also you can upgrade tanks to reduce steel usage when you have good stockpiles.

Question: Why did you help republic spain and not nationalists?

I love watching people try max playthroughs since there are so many interesting approaches

Soviet Union next!

We want more long videos Dave!

Love your Hoi4 videos Dave, the more/longer the better❤

Pre 5 hour gang here

No mines Dave, I am disappointed.

"You never gonna have big enough fleet to defeat England" - says noone with decent naval skill.
Basically all you need to do is to refit your big ships and add better guns into empty slots and you can defeat english starting fleet.
DDs that you make is probably the worst possible way to use your dockykards (especially if you use those DDs for big combat)

Other than that there is so many thing you should do better if this is to be guide, I will not point them all, but one is really wrong.
You add artillery to your marines which basically removes most of their marine bonus for invasions. Outcome is that this division actually has less soft attack (when invading) compared to pure marines and is more expensive. You should add only support artillery.

Your naval invasion on Malta didn't fire because you weren't at war with the UK, lol

bing chiling

I love these videos, I have 500 hours in the game, and still don't really know what I'm doing. Watching these types of videos, every 30 seconds I learn something new, I need more 🥱

first try I did not win

yes video now I can improve and git gud as the people say

Just goes to show what a cakewalk the Germans wouldve had if they had 1 competent ally, jeesh

I love when Dave has fun!
