Hello chaps,
I have recently settled into HOI3, and its Summer 1944 as the USA. I have just spotted a large Japanese fleet, with multiple carriers, battleships and othe ships commanded by Yammamoto, and have sent pretty much 80% of my entire battle forces to deal with it.
Im sending in at least 8 battleships, as well as all 3 of my Carrier Fleets (each consisting of 5 fleet carriers, an escort carrier, and cruisers) to surround the Japanese fleet, which I think should be heavily outnumbered by me.
So how should I attack with carriers? Do I send the Carrier fleet near the Japanese fleet and let the CAG Duty CAGS attack them, or should I try and attack the Japs at range, sending my CAGS on Naval Strike Missions? And while Im here, should I send battleships and cruisers to the same maritime region as the enemy?
The other thing I wanted to know is how do I use Strategic Deployment for land units? Its annoying having to wait for a 4 mile per hour Corps HQ unit to cross the US from NEw York to San Francisco.
Cheers
