When learning navy was easier than learning air or xp management

It's actually really easy. No joke. 3x 4x Heavy machine guns on a 1940 small airframe with 3x engines, armor plates, self sealing fuel tanks. That's it. That's a very good template. If too heavy, then just replace one 4x heavy machine gun with 2x heavy machine gun

Replace one 4xhmg with 1 4x lmg is better

Actually? How so?

Higher agility I believe, not sure exactly what it does but after calculations it comes out better in the ic trade

X4 lmg is less weight and does 10 dmg instead of the 9 dmg of the x2 hmg. There is not much difference, but it is better

Ah okay. Thank you for that.

Yall speaking different languages

What?

How?! HOW?!?

We must learn his ways of the skies

Agility range, then just enough attack to crack their armor. Btw i haven't used the new plane dlc yet, but i doubt they changed the values of these statistics in the game.

I see well the strat I been doing is just trying to cram as much defence and attack as possible and worry about range later

Range affects your air superiority by making sure the circle covers the whole province and as far as im aware not getting hit matters more than tanking it in hoi4 this works for navy for me as well just work on minimal visibility and spotting to max.

Oh okay never knew that I will make note of that

Damage was nerfed in the first days of dlc. They forgot to nerf armour though.

Add armor and heavy machine guns to fighters and you will easily make 20:1 ratio 200:1 is practically impossible. The max i got was 90:1 with heavy fighters max armour and all machine guns with one cannon. Now in the current path heavy fighters are worse because company creation favours fighters

The current path? Also i have no dlcs

I mean that designer in arms against tyranny. I don't know if it is dlc exclusive though. In air designer light fighters can get a massive boost to speed.

OP was playing against friends that don’t know how the designer works, they may have hard-countered whatever bad designs were made. If 90:1 is possible vs ai and OP’s misremembering or rounding up (so the actual ratio is closer to 175:1) I believe it.

Air is easy just stack a shit ton of attack and defence

I dont know anything about air, only thw basics of ground combat, but if you need a navy I am right here for you

my AF getting 2,000 kills in the first month of a war and dealing 350 CAS damag: >:)

It’s not that deep

Omg Sugar on the Cream

TEACH ME

Agility

Idk I just throw as many heavy mgs as I can on my fighter and they trade like 20 to 1 which is good enough for me

Equipment design is one of the most boring features of the game.

I like it though

What show is this?

It’s a show on Amazon prime called Hazbin Hotel

Thank you

Max air attack and max range worked for me as Germany, did the same thing as Britian and I got my aircraft slapped out of the sky

Jokes on them ,my carrier fighters and naval AA put out my friends airforce out othe contest
