The Largest Naval Battle Ever - Hoi4 MP In A Nutshell 

Yessir

Hello

Hey you’re that danish guy

Big brain time

Can't believe you would sell out to a greedy scumbag like Bokoen1. Lost a lot of respect for you, Bo.

¡Tigre! ¡Tigre! ¡Tigre!

Tora is the old japanese version of Pog

Biggest naval battle in history wasn't Battle of Midway but Battle of Biscay... You learn new things every day

@@tiago4158 **The more you know**

Victor Emanuelle abdicates the Italian crown, abolishes the title, and marries his daughter to Mussolini the pope having annulled his marriage to his actual wife. And so the restored Roman Emperor Benito Mussolinius Augustus greeted Hirohito as his equal upon his arrival to the Suez conference, Tojo was absolutely disgusted and Hirohito was just confused. Hitler shoots Fegelein and then himself when he is informed of the cancer, Goering becomes the new Fuhrer and eats Mussolinius's gold leaf crown at the coronation thinking it was chocolate. A replacement of actual leaves is used to crown Mussolini and Goering doesn't eat it because the fatty doesn't like vegetables, and so the dream of Mare Nostrum becomes reality

AND ITS A GLORIOUS IDEA

Absolutely brilliant!

Mein GOTT!

ich is so crasy it mich just workt spoiler alert: wtf it actually worked?

@@SamuelLopez-kd3sr Flick had lost his entire army in the collapse of the allied invasion of france and had no units to guard his homeland

Welcome back to Bo'om Gear Mates

there's no understatement. imo would be better as "Today on Top Gear; Japan blows up a ship (clip of biggest naval battle in channel history), Bulgaria loses a tank (clip of Bulgaria saying they're out of the game) and Petain goes on a beer run (clip of Vichy snaking in Ireland)"

Eltener123 Ur right, dry British humor requires massive understatements for the practical jokes to land as hard as they do.

*lose

@@antorseax9492 both versions are ok

this line is so underrated.........

Could very well be the main reason they lost

@@generalmarkmilleyisbenedic8895 irl Germany lost because they did not have oil

@@artanisplays3982 USA learned from this and so they always on the look out for O I L

@@generalmarkmilleyisbenedic8895 they sent French troops in Ireland, Roman Empire in the Caucasus, clapped in a month 16 carriers between England and US... I don't think they lost

Thats just Hearts of Iron MP for you, you're internally hating yourself but its fun cus ooo look green circles

@@gamerin123d6 and sp is mostly pain

@@zonnytiger2371 played a Germany SP game and the ai Italy was doing fine had 160+ divisions took Greece and half of Africa, then USA joins they are invading Greece liberated Yugo and now Italy has 60 divisions and the US has 40 divisions trying to dday, the AEF in the Balkans number in the hundreds the soviets are mass assaulting, and the ai doesn't suffer attrition.

It was the best of times, it was the blurst of times.

The zig zagging of borderline suicidal and elongated orgasm is never ending, one second you encircled 50 divisions, literally the next second you capitulate cause your ally folded like a fucking piece of grass in the wind

“This will be a promise that I’ll do everything in my power to keep; the Navies of Allies will be at the bottom of Bay...”

There's a reason it's called "High" Command.

@@MrRemicas lmfao

That’ll take years to recover from, longer if Bo’s plan to invade California succeeds

This navy is out of this game

They smashed their navies In 2 back to back decisive battles. Imagine if it were real, and learning of the battle of the bay of Biscay.

The REAL combined fleet

In this world, we'd have a simple history or oversimplified video about the strangest naval battle in WW2: The Battle of Biscay. The Japanese Fleet, Italian Fleet, Spanish Fleet, and Finnish Fleet fought the British and American fleets off the coast of France.

@@superkamiguru6856 Mr. Worldwide

Hi da- supreme leader

La Legion Irlandaise!

Ah yes, Japan, the famously landlocked nation, with no coastline At all ever

@@olorinmagus4479 they never even had coastline in their entire existence, they used to have more land, but it was also landlocked.

@@Aaron47916 Yeah their war with Venezuela really did a number on them

@@olorinmagus4479 yeah they were gonna get some coastline but Venezuela denied them that and then pushed them far from the coastline and wrecked their army, ever since japan has been losing land

WHY ARE YOU EVERYWHERE WTF

aka bo HYPERVENTOLATE koen is acitivated

I feel like about 75%of bokoens videos are him clapping other peoples navies

So who actually won in the end?

@@Zorro9129 im expecting braun swimmy and golden to all make tanks with no armour and 3 guns at some point. and the worst part is it will be entirly independant of each other im sure.

I mean, if you are playing single player, just go bathtubs and sub 3.

This is my navy cut/paste, sometimes with minor edits. Naval composition questions are common, so here’s a basic overview. Feel free to search for more. There are, broadly, two current fleet metas. Both hinge upon basic principles of having lots of inexpensive ships, which is currently favored by game mechanics: namely that it’s much cheaper to repair than rebuild, and that enemy attacks scatter randomly across available targets. That means that having lots of cheap ships spreads damage around pretty well, and if you take losses, replacement is easy. In both metas, you generally favor the cost reduction advisor and Trade Interdiction doctrine. The former because more ships, the latter because the best aspects (enemy hit chance reductions) are very early, so you don’t need to spend much research to gain most of the effects, and it strongly supports either meta elsewhere in the tree. Both metas benefit from admirals with visibility reduction. Part of the goal of these metas, btw, is to compete effectively on the seas without having to overbuild dockyards. Ground forces (and thus tanks) are kings when it comes to winning the big wars, so the fleet is more supplemental. Overspending on a navy can hurt you overall. So these help manage cost, and are thus extremely efficient. It’s not that other strats can’t work, they just aren’t as efficient. -- The primary meta right now is a surface one. It favors larger nations, but one need not be a major to see some success. Your strike fleet should be comprised of light attack heavy cruisers (one heavy cruiser gun, many light cruiser guns, radar/fire control/engine/AA, no armor), roach destroyers (maximum cheapness, one gun1, max engine), and a smaller number of fleet destroyers with torpedoes, maybe a depth charge, radar/sonar/max engine. Always at least 4-5 destroyers per capital ship. Set to always engage, never repair (so that always leaps after enemies, and you can control when they go repair). (Since the question came up last time: you don’t need a lot of torpedo destroyers. Once the enemy screens are dead, the battle is effectively over as the torps will kill enemy caps long before they kill your screens. As a naval major, I might build 15-20, but that’s overkill.) The premise here is that the heavy cruiser gun puts it in the second line, immune to enemy screens while screened itself. The light cruiser guns shred enemy screens, rendering enemy capital ships vulnerable. The torpedo destroyers kill the enemy caps. The roach destroyers spread hits around and serve as tanks in that sense. With no armor and max speed, your ships are hard to hit, reducing losses (cruiser armor sucks anyway). And you have lots of ships. You pair this with patrols. These patrols should be a single ship, either destroyer or light cruiser, set to never engage. They should have minimum guns, maximum engine and detection (radar, sonar, and for cruisers, floatplanes). Maybe AA to help vs bombers. Their sole job is to find enemies for your strike fleet, so keep your strike fleet near to your patrols. I usually use the most forward “safe” base, and cover with fighters vs long distance port strikes. -- The second meta is sub3 plus bombers. The subs should have good torps and the best snorkel you have, and be split into packs of 8-12 (any more and there will be operational penalties). Set to engage at high risk (sub3 or sub4 only). Keep them out of shallow water and away from enemy bombers, both of which murder subs. Set them to convoy hunt. Bombers can be NAV or TAC. NAV do better damage by a lot, and are cheaper, so extremely efficient per IC. TAC have better range, and can switch back and forth between the ground and sea war, as needed. TAC also has the advantage of being able to be based behind the fighters, so they aren’t competing for airfields near the front in the ground war (unlike CAS). So the tradeoff is better damage/lower IC vs range/lower research demands/greater flexibility. Play around with both before you lock yourself into a personal doctrine. In this strat, the subs will account for enemy shipping and some surface fleets (sub3 can often engage AI surface groups pretty well), and the bombers will account for enemy subs and some of the surface fleets. It’s an extremely cheap meta, favoring low industry nations, and it can be quite strong. Why sub3? Sub4 is better, but it’s costs are much greater. In addition to the IC cost increase, and an extra steel, it requires chromium...which is much better spent on heavy tanks (if you have it). Trading for chromium to make sub4 is almost always suboptimal to some other option (trading for chromium for tanks, trading for tungsten for tanks, trading for steel/oil/aluminum, or not trading at all). -- So what do you do with starting ships that don’t fit the mold? You can refit destroyers and cruisers to better match the surface meta. Never refit engine or armor (it costs almost as much as building a new ship!). You probably don’t need to refit the destroyers at all, but if you do, imo, make them torpedo destroyers. After all, spending a bunch of IC to turn an existing destroyer into a cheaper destroyer defeats the purpose of the cheaper build. Whereas, if you don’t need many torp destroyers anyway, refitting your early ones is a good way to improve existing destroyers that are poorly optimized. For BBs and BCs, the biggest improvements are usually getting rid of secondary things (eg floatplanes) and maxxing AA, fire control, and radar. These big ships are expensive, so refitting much beyond that will take a year or more. Not worth it. But the AA refit is crucial for these ships, and the radar/FC refit offers good bang for buck. Note that both of these were IRL refits once air power was shown to be effective.

@@aycsfvmk1289 plz like this reply so I cam find this comment kater

@@aycsfvmk1289 same

I mean it’s not that complex, it’s just tedious. Four screens per capital ship and you’re good. Make small groups of light cruisers set on “never engage” to spot the enemy. Keep your subs in groups of ten so you can have more groups of them engage more convoys at a time. Refitting armor takes a really long time so avoid it. Your starting ship designs are normally pretty awful so some minor refits can go a long way, but don’t bother once war’s broken out, new ships are always better. The meta right now is light attack spam I believe, the theory is you shred their screens with light attack and then your torpedoes are free to sink the capital ships. While I do build heavy cruisers, battlecruisers, battleships and carriers, I really do think you could just spam light cruisers and win the naval game.

HEY I SEE WHAT YOU DID THERE

the greatest day

Today on top Gear

Don’t forget about Lowee spanking it

"have you seen this movie called pirates of the Caribbean?"

that something new apparently worked

@@hornet370 everyone overcompensated for him. I didn't see a German fleet, did you?

And the English channal and the bay of biskey

It would be greatest in history

Really hope he continues this session

@@100dead By the looks of it, it would appear that the Soviets are on the verge of collapse, from the Italians and Germans. Usually a game ends whenever the Soviets fall since its impossible to win as the allies without a Soviet Union.

I somehow failed to notice he'd stopped.

What the other guy said. Hard to invade Europe without a navy.

They couldn't bring supplies or reinforcements into France after they lost their naval supremacy.

The Japanese navy.

Search the counter-armada, it was basically that

Did the axis actually win, or was it another the video ends with the axis in a good position only to lose later on.

@@richardswinford7078 they won. After knocking out Allied navies in Europe, they repelled invasion of Spain , reconquered entirety of France, capitulated Soviets and Mongolia, Japan asserted total control over Pacific and was preparing naval invasion of California (as it later turned out with no defence being in place on the side of US). Allies handed the game after Soviets and Mongolia peace conference.

I feel that. Big pog hours. Research papers can suck my Bokoen.
