I don’t understand how they have such strong units and they are seemingly infinite

You playing Vanilla?

Even pumping out tank units like no tomorrow they roll over my front line

Russia of course.

Okay

Well. The Germans are gonna pound your dick in constantly by default unless you railroad them. Historically, and by proxy, game mechanically, the Germans would be trained, well equipped, battle hardened, and zealous. The Russians stand barely a chance by default.

You have to either concede to the historical accuracy and play by historical tactics, or you have to employ your own.

The advantages of the Soviet Union are as true in real life as the game. You take Berlin, Germany falls. If Moscow is taken, the Soviets would only fight harder.

With having the most land, you can trade your land for casualties and pull back long enough to steamroll the germans later on in the war.

Early war success is like bathing in razor blades if you're soviet

Well that’s the thing they have way more tank divisions then they had historically

If that happens to be the case, you'll have to use your available units to your advantage. Create hardpoints on the map and make the most of soft and hard attacks.

I wanted to try a tactic of attacking Germany as quickly as possible so that that the front line would be smaller and the Axis wouldn’t be developed yet

Cause if you wait too long Japan just ass rapes you and there’s nothing you can really do

Impossible to fend off both sides at once

🤔

Japan never assaulted me. They tested my border but they never assaulted it further or declared war.

Well that’s probably because Germany declared war on you

I declared war on them

It seems to be a balancing mechanic idk

The other issue is the game is sorta buggy

I had a civil war and “Russia” pulled the Axis and Allies into the fight

I literally have every country outside of Axis as an enemy and an ally due to a weird fucking bug

The issue with that is Russia despite capitulating was still technically existent since the war was never ending

Thus I was unable to use any decisions that were restricted by being in a civil war

Even though they had capitulated...

Well, politics are huge. If you do anything that disrupts the predefined historical triggers which alter game stats to a point for accuracy, you'll run the game off course and it can get fucky from there.

I declared war on the german empire as france in 1910 and I immediately faced off the newly formed 3rd reich

Things got fucky.

Ever tried to play as democratic Japan

If I play the USSR, I have to wait for hitler to assault me in 41, otherwise I'm going to face off against the axis, and if I declare war, I'll generate world tension that'll actually push my allies away from me and they won't support me in the conflict.

I played as Japan, went Shogunate, then converted to democratic.

I completed the game without fighting a single war

I prefer to take the entire hemisphere under the hammer and sickle.

I literally jumped Japan 30 years into the future

Any who oppose me are crushed under my boots and treads.

Avoiding the atomic bombs and kawaii culture and directly started up Japanese capitalism

I mean

If it wasn't for Japan, I don't think girly boys or traps would be as popular as they are nowadays.

If it had been multiplayer I would have been on everyone’s good side.

I still would have taken your island.

I had plenty of resources

Unlikely

Due to being so reserved I had a bedrock solid defense force

I could invade all sides of your nation with my navy in 5 seconds
