NO Need To Buy HOI 3.....Get Arsenal of Democracy Instead

Their success depends on how they simulate strategic bombing.

[Habbaku]

Their success depends on how they simulate naval warfare.

Hopefully they don't take the P'dox stance on navies.

Don't let 'em give you any crap about your home.  Jaron is a troll, so you know his home is a dump (I mean, how well can you fix up the underside of a bridge?) and PDH is an acedemic/egghead type, so he's probably so absent-minded he's lucky if he remembers where his home is.

I remember exactly where my home is - my ex wife has it.

So far from the FAQ thread, we have:
Ships designs are heavily centered around "brigades", thus ships are very customizable (ie., America's Basic Heavy Cruiser will likely be different from Germany's Basic Heavy Cruiser).

Also, retreating ships must increase their distance from the attacker before they retreat.

Both sound pretty good.
They've also improved the AI. If the Japanese AI can somewhat competently take over the Phillippines and Dutch East Indies within a few months, and seek out and attempt to destroy the American fleet at the outset of war, I'd be extremely happy.

Indeed.  Especially dreadnoughts.

Or rather how well they can get the AI to perform them.

Carriers are more important. They're quite useless and always get themselves blown up in vanilla

By dreadnoughts.

Yeah I had this big battle against the Americans and I lost FOUR CARRIERS as the Japanese.  Like that could ever happen in real life.

Were those 4 carriers fighting a group of destroyers and submarines?
As that happens...

The Americans had carriers too there.

You have missed: Teh Joke.  Obviously, the Japanese losing 4 carriers against the Americans could happen in real life, since it did; Valmy was being sarcastic.
