I find it very interesting you got invaded a lot. Against AI GER and a lot of players the AI is refusing to invade them. Could you maybe provide a savegame so I could check out what you did differently?
"-Axis. Japan did really well, with a small hand Italy did really well. All the Balkan states were useless. No idea how Hungary had 5k of losses by May 1942. Their AI is busted. For future playthroughs, best to invade and take their stuff"
Yes, you are correct. Axis Minors do not support anyone but each other, up until 1942 when theyre allowed to defend GER (against Soviets primarily but if Allies invade theyd assign units there as well). If they have planes they will actively support you though at any time (up to 1000 Fighters from what I generally observe in 1942, they just take a bit to get their air production up) Admittedly a bit hidden but there is a 2nd Diplomacy page, with a Diplomacy action which allows you to control which countries the AI is allowed to defend with divisions.
Generally, you REALLY need to do tremendous amounts of damage upon the Red Army during Barbarossa. That is the weakest they will ever be. But if Allies invaded you too soon its not particularily fair
Really appreciate your response
Wonder what i did wrong with subs then? Convoy raiding too close to UK? But even when i had air superiority they sunk little to nothing.
I guess i lucked out re: AI and its naval invasions in normandy! Don't get me wrong, love to see it. just prefer it in 1944 is all lol
I have played about 600 hours of Bice, I don't consider myself a noob, but this is the first time that the USSR overwhelmed me in the winter of 1941-1942.
In the summer of 1941 I made large encirclements of troops and destroyed more than 100 Russian divisions. I don't know exactly, but it seemed that in certain areas of the front the troops were already scarce.
What is my surprise that during the winter about 400 Russian divisions appear on the front and begin to push me in the direction of Germany... attacking me 10-3 or 8-4 in each battle along the entire front. At the end of winter my front is destroyed, including the panzer corps (no organization), I lack everything... total realism.
On the front, some 165 divisions are pitted against some 400 of the USSR.
The problem comes now, they don't stop pushing even in the summer with their army of zerlings and I am unable to stop them..
I'm playing on normal lvl. I need tips.
One or two weaks ago I wrote a comment that the SOV is too weak after trying 3 different runs. Operation Barbossa used to be very easy but now it seems like the SOV AI just cheats and spawns huge ammounts of Divisions.
I invaded with up to 2.5 Million men, 20 tank divisions, encircled 2.4 Million SOV with only 100-200k losses and still their divsion count rised. In my three different playthroughs as SOV I couldnt even train new divisions after Barbarossa started due to lack of equipment and my divisions still got clapped after the germans lost the modifiers even when I concentrated them against fewer german divisions.
It is now 12. july 1942 and the SOV pushed non stop from October 1941. They have 4.86 million losses vs 900k German losses. They have 3-5 million men in the army against my 3.3 million.
SOV units have a 31% country modifier on defense which I couldnt figure out why. My 4 medium tank divisions (focused on soft attack) struggle against 4 inf divisions.
My tip for your Navy. Do the bare minimum on research. Put every Dockyard you got on Subs and deploy them in 10 packs. Dont send them on the british coast, deploy them minimum 2 sea zones away from the home islands and check where most of the supply lines go through. (I have had them in Labrador sea, mid atlantic gap, Iberian Coast, african Coast and Cap verde plain through out the war)
My subs where the only thing that didnt disappoint me with only 11 destroyed while sinking 1360 convoys.
Also I would suggest that you fully train them up before sending them out if you didnt already.
I hope that helps.
Hi, as I stated above I have the same problem with my current run. I remembered now that I usually attacked the SOV in 1942 which was much easier. I think most of the units spawn in arround august 1941. So if you attack in 1942 they are already on your frontline which makes it easy to encircle them with the buffs of Barbarossa.
But note that I havent tried this tactic for years so I dont know if it is up to date. But I am trying it atm with a new run since my historical run didnt work whatsoever (details are above). I will inform you if it worked or not.
Attack in May/April 1942.
I had 24 tank divisions which were more than enough to crush them. Consider adding light self propelled AA. It helped a lot in regions with small airfields.
I had arround 3.2 Million men in the army, keep one inf army in reserve in order to kill encirclements.
In my game it is now 1. Sep 1942. SOV lost 4.2 Million men (there are still some encirclements left) and I lost 300k. Leningrad is taken. My tanks are at the gate of Moscow and the road to Stalingrad is open.
Also take the focus prepare for the Long Winter War. It somehow gives you the bonus of kick in the door as well.
