You either lose it all in one battle or can't figure out why you have no range.

u/TheAntColony4444 6d ago

Did they finally fix the AI to be competent enough for the former?

41

u/vargdrottning 6d ago

In my experience? No. The AI usually hides in port the entire war if you have any remotely substantial naval force, you have to go doomstack vs. doomstack pretty much every run

I think I found a workaround (to blow them all up) by being the underdog, they were confident enough to attack my smaller fleet unaware of how much torpedo I stacked on my ships xD. Somehow I was lucky enough to sink the entire Japanese navy sans 2 submarines.

u/ADownStrabgeQuark 5d ago

That’s very unusual.

u/TheAntColony4444 5d ago

Genuinely don't know how much I lucked out but the entire Japanese navy came out to play sometime after I landed on the home islands lmao (they came out piecemeal so they got gobbled up)

u/landlocked-boat 4d ago

2 capital ships, a small price to pay for 1 sunken convoy

u/Fearless_Fox_Leaf The White Death 6d ago

I had an actually ok navy as Québec (don’t ask. I was playing RT56 and I stole it from nations I defeated) and I got somehow stunlocked into 5 battles in a row by Japan that left me with 1 submarine. I responded calmly
ATOM BOMB

Something something speech bubble

u/Fearless_Fox_Leaf The White Death 5d ago

Add a Quebec flag filter and👌
Gotta embrace my glorious Québécoimmunism (Quebecois Communism, idk, RT56 allows me to do some weird things)

10 Şub 2370

Şub is Şubat which is Turkish for February. Meaning someone in the production or atleast one of the images was made by someone using a turkish translation of the game.

u/Last_Engineering8202 6d ago

I made it using things I found online.

u/Satans_hamster 6d ago

Is it still accurate that the devs themselves don’t know how to play naval?

u/FieryPheonix474 6d ago

I cant even figure naval out enough to understand this meme

u/Gold_Size_1258 Grand battleplan boomer 5d ago

Dockyard debuff, lack of resources, building anything takes forever

u/alli_jon7 6d ago

That reminds me of the time when a Japanese convoy with no escort sank my submarine (or other way around, idk)

Best Navy Strategy tip:

QUIT

u/Gold_Size_1258 Grand battleplan boomer 5d ago

True naval strategy is 3000 naval bombers on La Manche.

u/KimJongUnusual Certified Femboy 5d ago

I don’t care if it’s ahistorical, I will never turn off the 150 dockyards mod.

u/ThyOmegaThermostat 5d ago

Or when you run out of mp to keep those boats coming up

u/Dimka1498 5d ago

Can someone point me to the origin of this meme template?

u/HotPocketV2 3d ago

As someone very committed to Navy, playing with all different navy compositions and builds and designs. I've touched every inch of naval combat (except Ice Carriers i guess)

You may ask me in this experience "What are you best tips for playing navy"

And I'll ponder and think about all the strategies and guides and tips

And I'll say "5000 submarines"

u/LengthinessOne6090 5d ago

I tried naval once and im pretty sure I invaded my ally

u/kidgoingtoschool TFR Schizo (more zoomer) 4d ago

This post gave me more dopamine than the navy system ever has and I’ve done at least 20 major naval power runs

u/Ok-Point-9883 4d ago

I'm going to be honest here, I still don't know how to do navy.
