-------------------------About Me-------------------------

My name is Hammo and I stream on Twitch! I play a variety of RTS and strategy games, but my favourite game by far is Hearts of Iron IV.

I love this game and it's complexity, strategy and historical focus, but these are also reasons people can find it hard to get into Hoi4. The endless spreadsheets, statistics, buffs and debuffs can be overwhelming without someone to show you the ropes, which is where this channel comes in!

I will be creating and posting beginners guides, tutorials, walkthroughs, tips and tricks videos, just about everything I can to get you playing and enjoying Hearts of Iron IV as much as I do!

If this sounds like something you would like to see, hit SUBSCRIBE and I'll see you in the comments!

Man, I've put 300 hours into the game and NEVER dared to get into the navy system, but this video showed me how much I've been missing. Great and easy tutorial.

[benverhaegen]

Okay, I've been playing HOI4 off and on since launch, and I love how detailed this game gets, but I've never really gotten around to actually understanding its complexity. I've tried many guides to get a decent grip on the concepts, and while I know the basics, you're the first one who really got me to have some insight in how division design works (from another video), and who's given me an actual understanding of where to start tackling the navy. You say in this video that you're planning to do a more in-depth navy guide in the future; speaking to you from the future, I can tell you that I would very much love said guide, and I hope you might be getting around to that pretty soon. I wish you the very best with this channel; I know how daunting it can be to keep churning out high quality content for a relatively small amount of subscribers, but I can only beg you to please keep it up. You deserve every subscriber you're going to get. You have a way of explaining things which is concise, easily digestible, yet highly informative without ever becoming boring - and a pleasant voice to listen to, to boot. Thanks mate, looking forward to seeing more of you, and to watching this channel grow!

Man these are the first tutorials that make sense, and don't waste a bunch of time. Thank you so much for making these!

[floridaray]

This has been the easiest and simplest explanation I have watched for HoI4 navy deployments and I have watched many trying to get it all. The way you setup fleets and TFs with the temple for auto deployment! My normal sub deployment is all laboriously hand done in 1s and 2s in fleets and after around 15 fleets it gets confusing (1 fleet per zone as opposed to 1 fleet with TFs)

Thank you for spending time on the navy. Too many tutorials blow this off. I haven’t bought any DLC until I prove to myself I will play the game enough to earn buying more content. A carrot to motivate myself to stick to it and learn this beast. So I’m not willing to ignore the seas. And as the great philosophers of our time, aka the Village People, said …
“In the navy
Come on, protect the motherland
In the navy
Come on and join your fellow man
In the navy
Come on people and make a stand
In the navy, in the navy, in the navy”

I played this at launch but forgot or never cared enough to learn the game, Now that i want to play i gotta to let you know that this video tutorial is a great resource for me to learn, a small channel but i can tell a ton of effort goes into these! Thanks mate.

[hamzanadeem]

I watched many videos about navy. This video explains the best and I think I finally understand how navy works!

[trent]

This is the tutorial I've been looking for, all the unsexy stuff proper navy management, thank you.

[Fluttercreep]

Best tutorial I've seen yet. Love that you have split it up into sections and that you don't muddle the lessons with unnecessary min maxing, just the essentials.

[GoudaGamer]

I watched a lot of your tutorials in non-chronological order and I have to say you do an awesome job. The build-up, some humor, practical tips, you thought about it well and executed it well. Thanks for making these. I understand the effort as I do something similar but for Hell Let Loose ;)

[monkeyslav]

Going through and watching a lot of your vids, they are very helpful! I have recommended you to my friends who also suck at the game and you have been a huge help! Thanks!

[BradyPenz]

As a new player... Thank you. I have a basic understanding of most systems now, minus the navy. This has helped a lot. Bathtub spam for

[goblinthiefgames]

Thank you so much. This video was amazing and exactly what I was looking for. Keep up the good work!

[soldiersvejk]

Hard to find a tutorial without the Man the Guns DLC. Thank you!

[pringlenick]

Thank you! The navy still seems confusing, but you made it much easier to understand!

[lachlain]

Important note for brand new players, for naval invasions you must have the naval invasion research. Playing as Peru they do not possess this technology to start and it caused me no amount of grief!

[JustChillinxd]

thank you so much you are great at explaining

[alex-angelakis]

Amazing.. it is the first time i see a tutorial about hoi4 and i understand everything.. I dont know how you do this but thank you Master.. 👋👋🙏

[jewiesnew]

I was about to give up on the navy stuff, but seeing captain Jack over here made me come back 😂😂😂

[misterblort]

Good video, sad the playlist ends here as there is a lot more to learn about the game before knowing how to play
