I love that Dave calls his strategies "exploits" but the game has been updated so much he's actually just utilizing the game's features as intended. Like the Anschluss isn't an exploit- his army IS as big as it's supposed to be!

Fun fact: Schwerer Gustav WAS designed to destroy the Maginot line. But Battle of France ended before it was finished.

you actually get one free super heavy railway gun when you complete the project. it's quite funny in Kaiserreich, actually, because when you release puppets in that mod they inherit your technology including special projects. so you can vassal swarm with super heavy railway guns as every time you release someone through the decision they get the tech

41:15 Same goes for reverse. Why should Germany consider herself fighting a war, when the other participant is literally on the other side of the planet.
Or why should I have to care that India or Canada are not done yet.
Or capitulate Chile because the Japanese said so.
Distance AND power ratio + projection should be mechanic to allow for an easy white peace.

13:00 Stanley Baldwin would have been surrounded by the same general staff as Chamberlain after him and, like Chamberlain, lacked any direct military experience himself, meaning even if he was prime minister when the Munich conference went down he'd likely back appeasement for the same reasons as Chamberlain.
Now, in reality, he *did* support appeasement but only because he didn't want to drag the UK into another World War unless there was a strong possibility of the UK being able to completely crush the opposing side so thoroughly that it was less a war than a slaughter and the issue was that the generals that served both Baldwin and Chamberlain were old guards who'd been in their positions since before the First World War and had either served on the front or had led the army during the war and all of them were incredibly wary of Germany's actual strength usually over estimating by one and a half to two times what their actual strength was constantly leaving the PM in the position of feeling too weak to oppose the German's will, in spite of the fact that Germany was weaker than the UK-France alliance at EVERY SINGLE APPEASEMENT even when the Italians jumped on board.
So, who was to blame for appeasement? The bloody generals who were too caught up in WW1 era fears to realise that by appeasing Hilter, all they did was bring him closer to the feared strength they thought he had, and since both PM prior to Churchill lacked any military experience to call their own they blindly trusted the word of those same generals.

baldwin is viewed as the architect of appeasement. He opposed rearmament and generally symbolises all the negatives of pre war UK government.
Of course the real situation is much more complex. But thats history in general for you.

[regularaviationguy]

Dave really built 4 of land warfire facilities, dam!

[justsomeeggsinapot]

The railway gun can affect infinite battles at a time (or at least so many it doesn't matter) but it cannot work while moving, to settle the confusion near the end of the video

[xristoskoumpourlis]

flame tanks are op since they can be cheap af and give bonuses on most terains, my go to for infantry divisions is armored engineers medium flametanks rangers support anti air and hospitals, stacking as much terain bonuses as possible + anti air +hospitals give extra hp to infantry make them lose less experience makes you lose less manpower and less warsupport from combat casualties

12:57 Baldwin supported the Munich Agreement and said to Chamberlain on 26 September 1938: "If you can secure peace, you may be cursed by a lot of hotheads but my word you will be blessed in Europe and by future generations".

7:50 m-m-massvie???? YOU KNOW WHAT ELSE IS

[SoApost]

Do you have any laundry, mother dear? We’re going to hang our laundry on the Siegfried Line because the Siegfried Line’s still there.

[SaxonSpooner]

I don't know about Stanley Baldwin but I know Neville Chamberlain idea of appeasement was he was delaying while he rearmed and rebuilt up the Army, Navy and RAF to kick Hitlers head in, its why Winston Churchill was so successful, Neville had done most of the heavy lifting for him.
poor poor Neville, gets treated like crap for employing a winning strategy that went on to win the Allies the war.

20:00 you know what else is massive? THE LOW TAPER

[SadisNic]

Best I can tell Stanley Baldwin was just another appeaser but considering he was the PM when Britain rejected the Stresa Front proposed by Mussolini and was also PM when the London Naval Treaty was signed, his goals were not just appeasement but allying with Germany to combat the relationship between France and the USSR.

When he says subscribe. Trust me do it. Don’t ask why just do it. You have nothing to lose. Trust me the gains are still MASSIVE.

In technicality Germany should start with the Autobahn already. The focus should be to expand it not to initially build it as its construction started in 1933 as soon as the Nationalist Socialist took power and the first part of it was finished in 1935

[ArsenSukhachevskyi]

The amount of times he said massive and didn’t make the joke killed me💔💔💔
