Really basic stuff? Ok.



1. Group your stuff together (To defend everything is to defend nothing). This means silos, navy and airbases. You can spread out a bit with radar, but don't go hog-wild with that.

2. Hide your stuff. Don't place all of your silos along the border in EU vs Russia. Don't place your entire navy in the middle of the Atlantic in EU vs NA.

3. Don't just open up one silo to launch randomly spread nukes across the enemy. And for god's sake, don't waste silo nukes on the enemy's navy (that just gives away the position of your silo, and has a very low probability of hitting anything). In other words, group your attack as well as you've grouped your hardware.

4. Launch subs from outside the enemy's radar coverage, and have some ships and planes around them when you do to ward off enemy fighters and bombers.

5. Fighters regenerate throughout the game, in airbases. Reload your carriers with those. Bombers do not regenerate. Use them wisely.

6. Keep moving. Guys and gals will exploit your closely packed hardware with nukes from bombers, so keep them guessing as to where your fleet actually is.

7. Don't just take the shortest path to the enemy's homeland. Mix it up a bit. Launch attacks from multiple vectors simultaneously, launch from rarely used or seen vectors, camp in your home waters and put up a moving wall of fighters to intercept his attacks then counter-punch, etc.
