Completely unreal Stalin was waiting and knew it was coming soon just didn’t know when he changed their military dramatically by 1939 but the Germans were too well trained their frontlines weren’t organized but they had everything ready in numbers Germany just destroy so much so quickly it’s crazy

screwed THAT one up so bad he was sure they were gonna purge him any day there. Only problem was literally nobody else wanted to be in charge.

I see you irony, sir

the thing is Stalin's intelligence said German didn't prepare any winter clothing or any anti-freeze so he's confident Germany won't attack…bit Germany did attack without winter clothes and anti-freeze…

@@vulpes_channel The coke snorting, jew hating, goosestepping fascist was a crazy idiot? Color me shocked. Shocked I say.

The downside with this is that most of the division will be Green, whereas a division that is recruited normally would be more experienced

@@bighillraft Oh i agree. But its great to quickly fill your frontlines out and at least not be overwhelmed.

In the Soviet style, I'd do smaller units for the river fall back line, and send the full ones to the front. Eventually the bottleneck is not manpower or training time but equipment.

I still do it all the time. Biggest thing I try to equip if I can is maintenance companies if I know I’m going to be short some equipment before a war (or even if I already have enough so I get extra) Capture what I can while still producing. Might be a bit of a niche tech to use, but I use it all the same

@@bighillraft If you need fodder quickly it don't matter that they're green.

Npc

Oh hi ♥️

Damn bitt3rsteel is here

That’s crazy

Stalingradline works good enough. Who needs moscow and leningrad anyways?

also applies to Argentine politics

Imagine having to wait until 1944 for D-Day

I totally thought this was going in another direction. I thought you were going to say that Alex the Rambler got his own troops encircled. XD

I can arrange that. Where and when?

Yeah , i always rush the purge and do a bit of industry around the end 1940-41 , in all the time on between i just fix the army and airforce

@@luk-128 Pretty much my order is rush the purge, then Commitern to send Spain some advisors, and since it will be 175 days between purges I either check if I can continue the industry tree or I move to focuses that are near the next purge (and once in a while one to reduce the paranoia since I only allow to purge the navy, the Army I'm concerned he may end up getting rid of someone with good stats like Zhukov)

I mostly do Industry and Military to maintain The Stalin Line with AA, mostly because i priorize having full equipment with 120 infantry 30 withs divisions with a Bunch of Artillery

Just how?

That is very untrue

Huh Enjoy getting naval invaded by Italy, Vichy and Spain combined in Estonia

You are playing some different HOI4, it seems. When i was relatively new as a USSR player i lost baltic states to the naval unvasions at least twice.

Italy invades a lot. Ive seen them storm beaches in baltics, Leningrad, Crimea, even Caucasus.

I'm not lying at all I just put my navy out and have my army hold until I can build a big enough Airforce. I don't understand why everyone else has this issue with the axis or think they're a juggernaut of a nation when the most I'll get pushed to is maybe Kiev. If you're playing the Soviets put a few dockyards into subs and then spam the Baltic sea with them, they'll be to busy dealing with the Allies who are ridiculously overpowered to deal with your navy. Put up some CAS to do naval strikes and destroy ports so they can't even use their navy or get supply because I do that every game as the Soviets and it works against the AI. In a multiplayer game however this obviously wouldn't work. As the Soviets focus on Infantry and Air, Tanks aren't really good anymore but if you do build tanks make them really cheap and put them into your infantry divisions as recon companies. for your Airforce max out your CAS upgrades and get CAS 2 as soon as possible because your CAS will be able to dogfight enemy fighters while having better stats. Logistical strikes also prevent the enemy from pushing you because they suffer penalties from low supply and if you're bombing their navy into the ground they can't naval invade you so long as you have a decent enough navy.

Soviets fought without a lot of equipment, they never threw infantry soldiers with no weapons tho. Enemy at the gates is not real life lol

thats a myth, soviets had like up to tens of million guns in stock.

If it is a disaster, you usually have to resort to that. It wouldnt be such a disaster if you could have the option to hold the ground you have

So historical Soviet RP game? Mosin Nagants only?

Yeah That's what you get when you watch bittersteel

@@ЙованДобройевичь Regardless of whether or not i watch Bittersteel, that doesn't change the fact that the Soviet Union is the strongest nation in the game. If you have a basic understanding of micro and production, you could easily outproduce and stomp Germany. vs the ai, you don't even need optimal templates. 18width pure inf with support can easily stop the German advance in its tracks.

@@Spazzz123 I agree with you, although I think US is stronger if played optimally

@@ЙованДобройевичь yee. i never actually played the us, but i think you're right. their production capability is nothing to sniff at.

@@Spazzz123 the US can be destroyed by AI México in early game, Ive seen it happen. The thing is that trying to take a single tile from the US in late is almost impossible, and they can litterally supply every western ally army by themselves. The Soviets and the US would be pretty even I would say, if it wasnt for the Great Patriotic War. The US has a lot of more time to keep building civilian industry, and that equals having the chance to do ANYTHING you want from mid to late.

Nah It's probably that they can't break the non agresion pact due to the sheet amount of divisions you put on their border

night of fort

I'm drunk but I got 3000 hrs in HOI4 I'll kick ur ass bruv

I'm gonna regret this sober
