To clear up any confusion I don't min-max 100% in these videos. I try to find a balance between my own fun and making the most of the game mechanics. ALSO I choose to play 'kinda' historical because I enjoy that more.

Just realized, one of the biggest reasons you lost naval battles was because your carriers didn’t have planes

The issue with nerfing the USA is that it makes it non-historical. In fact, even the historical route that results in the most economy is still relatively lower than reality. Look at the stats of what the US produced during the war. It's mind-blowing, really. This is an issue every WW2 game has because an accurate USA will just stomp everyone. This is largely because a player of a WW2 game knows WW2 is coming and prepares for it in ways leaders historically never could have and didn't.

"I'm gonna make some AA"

Dave! In the video, you speculate that the game event of Japan attacking the Panay was a civilian ship. The U.S.S Panay was a US navy gunboat. My father was a US Navy sailor and member of the crew of the U.S.S. Panay, and survived the Japanese attack. However, the U.S.S. Panay was sunk by the Japanese forces, which attacked with fighters and dive bombers, as the U.S.S. Panay was stationed on duties in the Yangtze River in China at the time. The Japanese attack on the U.S.S. Panay was a huge event at the time--and certainly created a justification for a declaration of war by America. However, despite our anger and indignation at being attacked by the Japanese, America was entirely unprepared for going to war, and was in no better position to wage war in 1937 than France or Britain. Still, there was some merit to avoiding going to war even while the Japanese had "mistakenly" attacked the Panay while we were involved in a war zone, which was raging between China and Japan at the time, of course. Solid arguments for either course of action, politically, and at the time, President Roosevelt opted for avoiding war with Japan, despite being entirely justified for a declaration of war. Thus, the selection of options there in the game event are pretty much on target.
In Europe, I know some high-minded historical revisionists and critics often like to blast France and Britain for being weak in dealing with the Reich--but such a lofty assessment and critique neatly and grossly disregards the facts at the time--Britain and France were both extremely weak militarily, both were economically broke, struggling through the Great Depression, and just like America, as democracies, what the public wants and doesn't want is meaningful and relevant, unlike totalitarian nations. The public simply would not support engaging in war at the time in the 1930's, and the political leadership in France, Britain, and of course America as well, were constantly aware of these very real political restrictions. Such would prevail unless directly brought into war, which eventually happened. The critics often ignore these dynamics, though I think they are extremely important, and provide the reasons for why the Allies did not do more, earlier.

I love your videos Dave! Keep up the good work, sir!

I’ll tell you what fun is. All this great content is a lot of fun. My dad just got Covid and some of my family are sick as well. Thank you for the great videos

[kylerichardson]

i think gaining the doctrines with a click makes sense, because you've already gained the experience necessary through exercising.. Thats what they are doing when training.

[DrekiBerserkr]

As an American, I am really impressed how a Brit knows our states. I know Americans that don't even know our states.

[Crusade._]

Feedbackgaming is the only person who is chill when he's playing USA Just Kidding he has great videos and he might be sick or something idk

[tomdove]

Watched all of these "every click" videos and really enjoy them, especially your hot key commentary.

Also, no need to apologize for how you play or what mechanics you grip about. It's a game and is supposed to be fun.

Cheers sir and thank you for the detailed playthoughs.

In your beginning you mention a "do everything" division. Prior to Arms Against Tyranny, I used to make 30ish width "mountain marines" 1 full column mountaineers, 1 full column of marines, 4 artillery, an AA, and a thicc medium tank. This worked really well prior to the new special forces mechanic but now isn't so good.

[saltypelican]

Us americans and the brits will fight by each other but make fun of each of other thats true friendship

[jordanramirez]

I think the game actually undersells the size of the American economy

Dave, excellent video! Your relatively new approach at making longer videos that are fun for you, while also being more detailed and thorough is very welcome, and much appreciated! As for *nerfing America*--Dave, you may not be familiar with some elements of history during the war. In World War II, America outproduced all of the Axis powers combined, in virtually everything. As a side note, I recall seeing a documentary where *ONE* state in the United States working on producing steel, made more steel than the entire nation of Germany. America not only produced a navy of over 5, 000 warships--the largest navy in world history--but also produced a huge flood of supplies, weapons, and equipment of every kind that supplied American armies at such high levels the American standard seemed entirely unbelievable to everyone else. Luxuries--Rommel in Africa was blown away when he captured American warehouses at US bases that contained hundreds of tons of *ICE CREAM*. Rommel was struggling to just get fuel and Panzers. LOL. Besides all the good stuff, American policy and industry supplied our troops with tons of ice cream, whiskey, chocolate bars, all kinds of food rations, and cigarettes. Ice cream was actually a kind of new industry and was made into a priority by the US government as a sponsor, because the government believed that supplying fresh ice cream to the troops was good for morale. Besides the vast, unprecedented levels of industrial achievement across the board at every level and category for providing equipment and supplies for American armies, the United States also provides *HUGE* supplies of everything to the Soviet Union, and all of the Allies. Britain, Canada, Australia, Free France, India, China, and more--much of their war equipment was supplied to them by America. Trains, tanks, artillery, aircraft, guns, clothes, food, radios, tools, trucks, jeeps, and on and on. The levels of war supply and equipment sent by America was far beyond the normal equipment standards of all of these other nations. America indeed, was the "Arsenal of Democracy." The game mechanics do a decent job of representing the enormous industrial resources and power of America.

My man just said “let’s make some AA” and then put a factory into arty instead…

[dutovdevlich]

As Drach would say the US torpedo problems were like an onion. Was like 3 issue's with depth keeping, 2 issues with the magnetic exploder and then 4 issues with the contact exploder so took till 44 to work out the issues.

[BanksZero]

I really like this series. Watched half of it in only 2 days.

[derekjones]

Love how easy the usa is, so many options. Excellent video Dave. Can’t wait for my favorite nation Japan video

[Carl-Gauss]

39:29 There actually was one called the Burma Road

[gasattack]

I love these videos. They really help with the new DLC, since they are adding complication to an already complicated game. Thanks Dave! You're doing a great job!

[davidsafayee]

Dave is a savage with these daily uploads. How long can he keep it going?
