Highfleet Tutorial - Advanced Strategy Guide 

for the first time in 20 years, the ever present math question is useful to me: "if x train leaves 'a' at this speed and heading and y train leaves 'b' at this speed and heading, where would they intersect?"

They should put in an in-game calculator and maybe a separate notepad to keep info always handy

The power of Skylarks! Skylarks are crazy fast (500+) and have huge range, while needing little gas. A skylark on a full tank can get across huge swaths of the map. In a pinch, once can be sent out to an intel station (already conquered, of course), grab intel, refuel and come back. It's not uncommon to have 2 or 3 intel stations within range of one! And skylarks come with ELINT so they can avoid strike groups. That also means that you can send a pair of 2 Skylarks to ELINT to triangulate, as you mention. Because of their speed, they can be moved around to attempt triangulation with only one Skylark. Powerful stuff! Keep up the great videos, you deserve more views!

Kids in Class: Why do we need to learn all this math? We're never going to learn it in real life! Highfleet Commander: That's why you'll fly only skylarks.

You're single-handedly making me get better at this game!

Be CAREFUL when scouting with Aircraft. IF they happen on a freighter that is unguarded they will attack it and you lose the freighter. More specifically it opens the battle screen, freighter surrenders, goes to world map and it is gone into the digital ether.

I totally forgot about using intercept course...and I call myself an engineer!! This is brilliant, thanks! Wasted a whole night getting beaten down by strike groups...I thought the game was just about brawling out toe to toe with enemy ships

In WWII there was a German radio station that would send out the same message every morning that was something like "nothing to report". Encoded, of course, but this allowed the folks at Bletchley to reverse engineer parts of the rotating Enigma keys from this.

Tip - I use a fleet of skylarks to do refuel runs for my flagship or fuel guzzler fleet 2-3 cities around so my flagship/SG can 'marathon' to a target instead of landing at every city then refuel. by tapping 3 cities, refuel rate is also x3 (vs refuel rate does not increase even if you have 10ships landed in 1 city)

Thanks for this video! I'm new to the game, but I love it already! Can't wait to use your tips in my campaign!

An evasion tactic when I get an elint popup is turn off radar and fly away ata 90 degree angle, so like elint reports contact bearing 0 degrees, fly away at heading 90 or 270 Or when there's a contact bearing 120, fly away heading 30 or 210 degrees Most strike groups can't catch you that way

Strike groups can spot your aircraft, follow them back, send missiles along their trajectory or send interceptors. This usually happens when the SG spots your aircraft, which they have a hard time with unless you attack them.

Online distance/speed/time calculator, you say? I think I just finally found a reason to break out my E6-B calculator. Kudos to anyone who knows what that is.

I love your comment on the Alan Turing method, never thought of that!

Great stuff. One way I like to use the Turing method you spoke of is looking for a 9 letter word, these tend to be a direction: xxxxxeast or xxxxxwest, I first dial in the ending 's' and 't' then try out the other two letters.

This game reminds me of a fast attack submarine sim.

I can't get enough of this game, hope MicroProse will support and release more content for it in the future.

As far as evasion tactics: If you damage them with planes sent from oblique angles you may distract them and get them off your scent You can send a small ship out with jammer, this will keep them from spotting you with radar, and the jammer has a huge ELINT range I have some s

Keep up the great work!

Another piece of gold, great video. I'm hoping to get someplay time in this weekend hopefully I can capture a video of triangulating distance and bearing off elint signals. I haven't tested myself yet but from what I gather on reddit, radar and IR sensors are hindered by line of sight when on the ground but elint is not, if you're using your sensors in a landed state it seems you may be at a disadvantage compared to an inflight group. The Dev mentioned this in a steam post about the red circle representing the horizon from the garrisons point of view "no sensor will detect you from the ground outside of this circle EXCEPT ELINT." So if the same is true for the player fleet the elint triangulation may be more viable for stationary fleets. Plus elint already gets the best range of all the sensors but the further the target the greater margin of error. Aircraft scouts would button this right up though, elint triangulation to get the vicinity, eyes in the sky to confirm location, cruise missiles enroute.

Outstanding it helped me on sensors.

So there's a fire control radar right. So can I slave the mini guns to it So they can go after missles or fighters

Thx for the calculator! :D

Ive built a dedicated tanker with elint, radar and 2 sprints for AA. I give them a heavy fregate (also own design). They cost about 50k combined. That way i can have two independent groups in front of my main fleet. I sometimes just go transport hunting in a different corner of the map with one group. This way you get more loot from the garrison battles and transports and dont need as much starting funds in the campaign, which in turn gives you more ships for the end game. That way i always have a good grasp where anything with radar is thru elint traingulation, and its also easy to get all tarkans on the map.

I just make a note with all the ship names I encounter and usually you can get the cipher by checking how many letters the sender/receiver of radio messages have and then go through them. takes 5 minutes max

GD, this game is the embodiment of easy to pick up, hard to master. We going back to math class now bois aha.

tips for the sevaastopol? is sucks fuel so bad and i have no idea how to fix by changing the ship, the system is completly foeign to me

Niiice! :D

land...uhm... not even tought about landing nowhere, thats actually great idea:D

I was wondering if you knew, or anyone, if aircraft can be used to scout for hidden cities?

Have you ever tried out the ECM?

Love the "Turtleing" Tactic to evade strike group...get off the trade route...shut down and see if the blow right past

I love this game but im NEVER going to calculate an intercept course for a missile. That seems way too involved and not fun.

ae there any basic tutoial guides that actually explain the game?
