Hearts of Iron IV Dev Tracker

A big well done to @mashupotatoes1, @ceramictrauma, @DStaniforth, @Lafeelabriel, and @AbeAmir98 for correctly guessing the link from Akagi to Illustrious in tuesday's post!

In 1936 Illustrious is yet to be built, but she makes a fine name for your 1936 carrier design as Britain, don’t you think?

Ship Profile: Illustrious was the lead ship of a new generation of British aircraft carriers, equipped with an armoured flight deck.

She was commissioned in 1940, and saw extensive service across the world during World War 2.

In November 1940, she launched a surprise raid on the Italian naval base of Taranto, crippling three battleships with her Swordfish torpedo bombers.

This raid was studied intensely by the Japanese in their preparations for the attack on Pearl Harbour a year later.

Still baffled by some of the new naval mechanics?

Well, you're in luck, as we've produced a series of walkthrough videos to help you out.

In this one, we explain the new naval invasion order for ships.

Tune in for Man the Guns post release diary and read about current progress on the 1.6.1 patch

Man the Guns might have been released, but there’s no rest for the wicked!

Today’s Dev Diary looks at the upcoming 1.6.1 patch, which will squash bugs and make some quickfire improvements.

Check it out here:

@podcat_paradox: Hi guys, the dev diary is running a little late today so it will probably get posted after the stream thats starting in…

Just a couple of minutes to go!

Hi guys, the dev diary is running a little late today so it will probably get posted after the stream thats starting in 10 minutes. It will include the WIP patchlog we got so far as well as some telemetry goodies on what people are playing :)

Just an hour to go until today's Naval Tutorial stream!

@Pdx_Da9L and @YaBoy_Bobby_Pds will be giving an overview on how the new systems work, and answering your questions.

TUNE IN at 16:00 CET:

It's Mod Tuesday!

A great mod which ties into Man the Guns nicely is 'XP for Everything'.

This adds the ability to use XP to boost tank and plane research, not just doctrines and modules!

Check it out here:

On December 7th 1941 Akagi played a key role in the attack on Pearl Harbour, acting as the flagship for the 1st Carrier Division.

She served with the Japanese fleet until being sunk at the Battle of Midway in 1942.

On Thursday we’ll be profiling another aircraft carrier, one that has an oblique connection to Akagi and Pearl Harbour.

What do you think it will be? 🤔

Ship Profile:

Akagi was an aircraft carrier commissioned for the Japanese navy in 1927.

She was laid down as an Amagi-class Battlecruiser, but converted into an aircraft carrier during construction.

@podcat_paradox: No diary teaser today, but tomorrow we plan a little followup diary and talk about the changes and improvements we have…
