Concentrated vs dispersed industry as Germany
So I am starting a new game and I considered changging industry to see what it is like, I know dispersed obviously is better for protection but whenever a war comes the only nation able to bomb me(UK) just sends a lot of fighters, and concentrated industry seems to be better for a rapid buildup of industry, which one should I choose?

Well the UK isn't a problem, they are strong but they send a lot of planes to their deaths because I have a lot of radars, and I guess I'll build some AA, thanks for the advice

Concentrated for sure. The US bombs the heck out of you when they join.

The only reason to go disperced is if in multiplayer you know you'll be getting hit hard and can't win the air battle. No chance you should ever take it in singleplayer.

FYI dispersed is bugged... the only option is concentrated.

Actually in my last game the U.S.A. joined in january 1940 because they didn't like me invading Norway, they sent 66 subs to their deaths, they lost them all while my paratroopers were causing mayhem in Britain.

Dispersed is bugged. It actually reduces your efficiency retention. Use concentrated.

Yeah, in my recent game with concentrated industry I certainly have more factories and stuff

That is what happened in my game as well(well meaning the US joined very early in 38 beaucse I allied with Russia as Germany). However they started sending strategic bombers quick and now my construction que is full of damaged infrastructure and factories. I can't really keep up with it either. I was finally able to get a foot hold in the US though with paratroopers and invading through canada so the game is about over in 44(took out all the allies around me first).
