Will naval bombers hit convoys in the region they're targetting?

If troops land in a besieged port are they immediately destroyed? I lost half a dozen divisions as Britain transferring troops to France and there was no convoy attack results anywhere on the transport route.
 
How do I make the map show the little rectangular division icons without having to double click on an army to move that army's divisions every time?

If you are asking about NATO markers instead of the 3D units: You can disable 3D units in your options menu, once that is done also in the options menu (I will get a screenshot tonight) is the option to change all of the in-game icons to the NATO icons.

However they are tiny and stuck where the unit icon usually is, I didn't find them very usable.

Hope that helps.
 
How do I create a secondary offensive line? I've been able to do it occasionally, but I'm not sure what I did to get it to work. (I'm referring to how you can can make a battle plan using the goal of another battle plan as a starting point.) Most of the time, it just creates a new plan connected to my front line instead.
 
Does anyone know how you can make a country's Non-Aligned party gain support?? I know how to change a country to become fascist/communist, but for Australia/Canada etc there doesn't seem to be a way to make them become neutral and non-aligned.

Any ideas?

Set your front line.
Set an offensive line.
Select the offensive line brush again.
Draw the line so that the origin point of the direction of advance arrow springs from your previous offensive line.

I have noticed there are problems drawing the secondary line where the brush tool will snap the direction of advance back to the original front line, it can take some fiddling to get the two offensive lines to link properly.

shift+left click execute to execute the first front line (above the army portrait), left click to just execute all orders.
 
Hey guys!

In my France game I have currently more than 400 factories and each resource A surplus of just 200 to 1,000 .
Nevertheless, half of my factories produced nothing , die allocated no resources according tooltip Become them . This is for me somehow not apt , since I have anywhere Huge surpluses .

How Can it also chairs ?

Thanks for your help !

Ok, how do I do this? Nine times out of ten, it links the arrow to my original front line, instead of my stage 1 offensive line.

After I draw the first offensive line, I select the brush tool again, and draw where I want the second stage of the plan to go to. Should I be doing something else?


On another note, what is the button for editing the plan's arrow for? I can drag and stretch the arrow, but it always snaps back to where it was, and I can't really see a point to it.
 
"Air Support" - "Air Support Mission Efficiency" - "Ground Support"

Each of these are given various bonuses in Air Doctrine trees, but nowhere can I find an explanation of the difference between them. On the wiki, they are empty links.

Can anyone explain them, please?
 
As Italy, after you are forced for absolutely no reason to create a faction with canon fodder (Bulgaria) can you disband that faction and create a new one?
 
How the heck do I start my own faction? I am playing Venezuela, I do have the national focus that gives me the ability to form a faction, but I can't find anything to actually do so in the UI. :(

The only thing I can find is to get others to form a faction... is that it?

Air Support is an air mission that is done by having air superiority. So if you have enough figters in the area your group have air support bonus. Lets say your fighters are doing reconnaissance flights and telling your ground army where to attack or not attack so it gives your army an attack buff. Air support also give your enemy an organization regeneration de-buff. It is hard to re-organize while enemy planes are constantly above you

Air Mission Efficiency is how effective you are doing it. There are various debuffs decreasing mission efficiency like the max range of your planes, overcrowded airports and weather of course. So lets say you have -%25 mission efficiency because of bad weather. If you have %25 mission efficiency from the doctrines that would balance the weather problem.

Ground Support is an air mission can be achieved only by bombers. Close Air Support is the best for that. Purpose of this mission is to damage enemy strength and organization. Planes with that mission will participate the ground fight and damage enemy. Enemy ground units can also damage the planes so be aware. You don't have this risk for Air Support Mission since fighters are not interact with ground forces.

Actually, when drawing the second offensive line, you can press tab to start the offensive line from a different point.

How come sometimes I put my men on a frontline and they don't spread out at all?

E.g., make a 4-province-wide front-line, and my 18 divisions all stay clumped in one province instead of spreading out along the line?

Sometimes manually moving them unsticks it (they auto move to spread out after the manual move), but sometimes it doesn't (they stay clumped wherever I put them).

I'd show a screenshot but steam doesn't seem to want to take one in hoi4, and whatever button does it in-game (I hit F10, F11, and F12), it said it saved one but I can't find where it saved it to (not the steam screenshot, seemed to be an HOI4 screenshot feature).
