An alliance with the German Reich - to avoid them spectacularly losing the many conflicts they initiate under the assumption Italy would surely join them - pulls Italy inevitably into a messy war of attrition against either the USSR, the US or even both - thereafter the best case scenario is a Phyrric vicotry, as it is now impossible to defeat the Axis members (and letвЂ™s not talk about the bitter defeats that await if the best case scenario does not come to pass).ДЄlso, Italy lacks steel, tungsten, oil and rubber and has a modest manpower potential at best. Step 0 - analysis of weaknesses of Italian starting situation:ДЄny war against the Franco-British enemy will result in crushing naval defeat and most likely also in the inability to successfully subjugate the UK. In Hoi4 there are 3 types of doctorines for navy, one capital focused, one raiding focused and one carrier focused.How to conquer the whole world in an Italian solo run (Together for Victory): These are some templates I found out that were pretty useful.

See that вЂњgemвЂќ that I higlighted? That basically says if your cruiser is considered capital or not. Here is an example of a light cruiser (this is only for showing purpose I will get to some templates later.ДЄnd here is an example of a heavy cruiser. If you have medium batteries (heavy cruiser batteries) on your cruiser hull it will count as a capital (heavy cruiser) or if you use light batteries it will count as screen (non capital). So how can you make a light/heavy cruiser you ask? ThatвЂ™s simple. The ships are split into two categories, capitals and non capitals. With 1.7.0 ship priority fire has changed and it goes like this:Д¬arriers engage the battle first, after some hours battleships engage and at last the rest ships.

Sub Detection = How easy it is for your ships to spot subs (the higher the better).

Sub Visibility = How easy it is for your sub to be detected (the lower the better).

Surface Visibility = How hard is for the enemy ships to spot your ship (the lower the better).

Surface Detection = How easy spotting enemy ships is for your ship, the higher value the better (ships with high surface detection get more hits on enemy ships).

Torpedo Attack = The torpedo damage a ship can do to a target (canвЂ™t hit enemy submarines).

Depth Charges = Damage done exclusively to submarines.

Anti Air = The air attack a ship has towards planes.

Heavy Piercing = The armor value that the heavy attack can pierce.

Heavy Attack = ItвЂ™s the attack capability of a ship towards a capital ship (more on capital ships later).

Light Piercing = The armor value that the light attack can pierce.

Light Attack = ItвЂ™s the attack capability of a ship towards a non capital ship (more on non capital ships later).

Having less armor will result in bigger damage values taken. Having higher armor than the light/heavy piercing of the enemy ship will result in reduced damage taken as well as more attacks per hour.

Armor = The armor value that ship has.

Organization runs out by moving to other sea tiles, engaging into battle or exercising the fleet.

Organization = If it runs out, your ships get heavy debuffs.

HP = How much damage the ship can take before it gets destroyed.

Max Range = basically how far a ship can go (you can extend this by asking for docking rights).

Ships with high speed values can dodge more shots, move faster, retreat and engage faster.

Max speed = ItвЂ™s the max speed a ship can have.

Confused yet? you havenвЂ™t the rest yet :^) Important Ship Stats

For example trade for Cuba costs less convoys with USA in comparison with USSR due to the distance between the target countries and Cuba. With 1 being the highest priority and 5 the lowest.ДЄdditionally the furthest the selected target for the convoy to reach, the more convoys it will require. Supplying remote units outside of mainland.Naval invasion or transferring troops through sea.Convoys have different priorities based on the вЂњjobвЂќ they are assigned to.
