    CAS also help in ship battles, but they aren't as good as Naval Bombers. So really for your combat carriers you should have Fighters and Bombers and for Invasion Carriers you should have fighters and CAS. Well, assuming Fighters actually do something during naval battles.

    You could park, but then you lose naval supremacy for that fleet. Which is a problem. Apparently fleets on hold don't detect nor engage enemy fleets, which is kind of silly.

    So I discovered that carriers do not give airsupport during a naval invasion support mission. Which is stupid and really counter-intuitive. Not sure why Paradox doesn't allow that. I guess they don't watch war movies?

    Apparently not. When Elon took over a lot of the woke types threw a fit and wanted to go to Mastodon. Never mind that twitter is still a cesspit, just a slightly fairer one.

    Yeah, US is easy mode. The only issue I have with them is that they have no rubber but you want an airforce, so it takes bloody ages to fully equip your carrier fleet AND build B52s (why would you not build them as the US? Its historical) AND build standard planes. Also it takes so long to build...

    There doesn't seem to be anyway for aircraft to automatically support troops though unless you park the carrier in the middle of the ocean. Which completely defeats the point of a fleet, as I don't think it generates supremacy that way. I don't know why you can't send aircraft on missions when...

    Isn't Mastodon that woke alternative to twitter? If so, that's already a red flag.

    So it doesn't matter what Naval Mission I use? That's good to know. I'm going to be playing US next, and I have feeling that I'm going to be using a lot of ships.

    How do you use carriers? I can't use their planes when it is docked nor can I use the planes when I send them on missions, so how do I use them?

    Is Nazi Germany the only nation that generates world tension or something? Half the world is at war with the Soviet Union now and the World Tension isn't even at 50%. Japan is doing its thing and taking pacific islands, and Italy is just chilling. I guess without Hitler around Italy will remain...

    So I beat Germany. Sort of. What I did was form the Entente, and then declared war on Germany when they attacked Czechoslovakia. And then a German Civil war happened and I just had to wait for the Germans to beat themselves. It was...surprisingly easy, even my Light Tanks did some good work...

    Hearts of Iron IV - The Ultimate WWII Strategy Game

    Hm, well my fortress guards have 6 inf and a support AA and Arty battery, so I guess that's good enough to hold the line? At least on the maginot. I don't think I'll be able to extend the fortresses for the free levels by the time Germany attacks Czech. I don't know how effective my guards will...

    Hearts of Iron IV - The Ultimate WWII Strategy Game

    I discovered that if you get the British to join the Entente AND you don't surrender the Rhineland they won't back down from Munich. I guess that if you join the allies too early it really messes up the Little Entente path. No idea how I'm going to push into the Rhineland though; the Germans...

    How do you get the Little Entente to work? I found that the Reich just eats Yugoslavia and Romania, so you end up fighting an early war with Germany on your own without the British.

    Is guard mode just useless or something? I had units guarding the forts but suddenly a couple of them left a fort unintended so the Germans just broke through my lines. Another restart. Even with all of the negative modifiers gone my units are shit.
