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.

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!

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? 🤔

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.

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…

Once you take the ‘Organize the Blackshirts’ focus in the new British tree, you’ll be able to hold Blackshirt marches to increase fascist popularity.

But be careful! If you are too eager you may suffer a huge stability lost and cause a civil war!

Have you used this path yet?
