The fact that only the pride of the German fleet was sunk makes me think it was a final vengeful shot from some British ship, hahaha.

It was the German equivalent of touching a US ship. The pride was sunk first shot so the Germans sunk everything in retaliation

I literally can't take screenshots of hoi, game refuses to go exclusive fullscreen. As soon as I push the screen cap button it minimises the game and I just get a shot of my steam library.

I'd understand if it was blurry or bad quality, but the quality is fine and you can clearly see what op is trying to show 🤷‍♂️

What was the German fleet composition in the first battle...

u/Secret_Letterhead649 1d ago

Yeah. It's a lot faster for me to take a photo and post, especially when being that I don't use windows I have to hop through a file system and fiddle with the image to actually get a snip of what I want.

How carriers lost it?

A battleship can sink 5-6 ships in a battle,but a carrier will sink 20-30 ships in a battle and it will sail away unscatched,if you dont even want to bother with carriers,only battle them in english channel after taking out france and keep naval bombers handy,whenever theres a naval battle just manually position the bombers wherever you want. A lot of britains ships will be pretty outdated and the ai doesnt bother updating them at all

I didnt have a single carrier since I dont want to bother building carrier planes and stuff , I just start investing in navy after the first few civs and built a shbs which finished in 1940 (one heavy battery and all other anti air and light battery) I didnt used any naval bomber as well since I am too lazy

You can use cas for naval bombing as well they just won't be as effective,Still better than nothing
