"Torpedo Cruisers are not good"
Brave words for someone in Kitakami's torpedo range.

The best technology in the game:
THE GREAT SUPER HEAVY BATTLESHIP😄
When the first one gets build in 1961:
☠️

Bro THE WHOLE POINT of the torpedo cruiser is the fact that it has a range of 4000 km, which is just 500 km shy of the 1944 cruiser range which is very important in the pacific warfare AND you can get it from the start of the game AND it’s cheaper. Btw even the 1944 destroyer has only 2500 km of range, although it is cheaper

[FLUX.]

Also coastal defense ships, the single most useless technology in the game. Want a ship that has the production/resource cost of a battlecruiser, the speed of a dreadnought, the HP of a light cruiser and the range of an early destroyer while still not offering more firepower than conventional heavy cruisers? The coastal defense ship has got you covered! It even requires twice as much manpower as a regular cruiser as a bonus.

Day 170 demanding ISP to form Mongolian empire with generic focus tree and minimal mods

If they were really accurate with the rocket plane tech, they'd add a +50% accident chance rate debuff to the plane.

[CertimR]

Hey dont diss my rocket like that, level 3 rockets with full internal fuel tank modules, and heavy machine guns gives you 900km range with practically 0 fuel usage

[Jalo]

I use rocket engine planes with 3 extra fuel tanks. OK range. Very small fuel consumption. Fast. Takes a lot tungsten, that's the negative.

[thinkwithportals]

You forget that you can armor the cruiser. So it won't get shredded as quickly as the destroyers. The rapid fire gun tears through their screens and the torps wreck everything else

Armored cars.

They cost more per unit, per battalion and per point of suppression at the same time then cheap light tanks for garrisons and have lower hardness to boot ie they would also cause more garrison losses.

As recon they are the most costly option and give just half a point more then motorized(which you produce regardless because you need trucks for logistics). All of which is pointless anyway since you can choose preferred tactic for country, field marshal AND general AT THE SAME time which nullifies recon completely. Just put 3 tactics that have NO counters and enjoy always rolling them ie your tactic never gets countered. For example Elastic Defense or Infiltration Assault have no counters.
Not to mention that RANGERS exist and give you flat bonus to artillery which makes other recon obsolete.

The only saving grace WAS(idk if it still works) in the fact that armored cars counted as infantry for all the research bonuses. So with infantry tech they get the all same bonuses as motorized ie +20% soft attack, breakthrough and defense, +50% hard attack and +200% ie tripled piercing. Idk if it justifies their price for anything at all ever, but it gives final armored car piercing of 186, which is more then towed antitank if I recall right 😅
They also have higher ORG bonuses from doctrines then tanks so they lower ORG less then light tanks when added to division.

I have to be honest with you, ISP, as Germany, making rocket fighters is an actually good way of dealing with enemy bombers and/or fighters over in Europe, if you lose the battle for Great Britain, anyway.

[Aereto]

Oxygen Torpedoes (what Long Lance are built on) are underrepresented on HOI.

Seeing them in action in Ultimate Admiral Dreadnaughts are a terror.

[Dwight.DEisenHower]

out of all apps of social media. ISP in youtube shorts is the sanest out of all.

[hyvedubz]

ISP making shorts, we truly do live in a society

[joecool]

@ISP The torpedo cruisers isn’t for torpedoes, it’s for AA. Check it again and you’d be pleasantly surprised by the AA. Considering what you could with it it’s a cost effective way of making AA barrages. Especially if you actually slap a CA gun instead so it doesn’t get wrecked by light attack.

[SaucyAlfredo]

There's a lot of focus trees that need major rework. Japan being top of my list

[Skykid]

Bring up the Submarine Carriers that Japan gets, I love their history Irl and wonder how they are in game

[Waldemarvonanhalt]

Torpedo cruiser + Japan's Long Lance torpedo buff doesn't sound too bad. It's for RP, ok.

[horner]

That plane range with the rocket engine 3 was a jumpscare to me

[brentsnocomgaming]

Rocket planes can be quite useful in niche uses, as they dont use any fuel for some reason IIRC.
