no.
No I don’t, i could easily get surfshark or some other trash vpn security in “protection” service to get that job done (not like I would). No offense though. Your content is still amazing
how do you collapse the field marshal?
@@Haradin32 top right arrow
How do you manualy actuvate the atack order? Like 27:48
This doesn't look like it was a proper disaster save.
It looks like the player played Germany, switched to the soviets after mostly winning then did some level of pre tutorial organization & sent it in.
Lmao yeah that’s what I was thinking as well, cause this is historical so Germany wouldn’t even been able to do sea lion nor does Vichy France exist. Dude then just used console command to tag switch to SU and did some basic remodeling (probably ended up deleting a lot of units) and sent it in to give bitter a tough time haha
There is a chance Italy invaded the British happens sometimes
i dont think so. if u check the save, it says its in ironman
it looks like he rushed mech wich the ai would never do
@@gingerbread101 there's a glitch in the game menu where you can switch countries in ironman by picking fascinating or interesting countries
I believe he probably played as germany and then switched to the ussr.
Damn u smart
Doesn't the AI create 4 million armies?
Yeah cause there’s no way the axis was able to capitulate the Allies without him having some hand in it, especially since Vichy France doesn’t exist.
@@warcrimeconnoisseur5238 you can just reorganise them
@@Power6563 That would be a real hassel just for such a video because the AI also loves to create the most random divisions on earth but I guess some people love going the extra way for fun
This is a very AI game. Definitely played as Germany, and didn't have La Resistance.
I feel like AI soviet union would have prepared better than what we saw. Also he rushed mechanized and mediuk tank 2 way ahead of time which i dont think ai ever does
@@content1006 he probably sabotaged it
The historical Soviet AI takes expand the agitprop, so this is definitely not AI
Even the AI doesn't forget to research planes entirely though. This was definitely a player, you just underestimate how clueless some people are.
Yeah I never saw Germany ai destroying the uk before like 1944-1945.
the guy didnt playt as the ussr, german ai dosnt do sealions, he played as germany then switched to the ussr and 'organised' the theater but i dont think he realised that there was a 2nd theater so he kept the units in manchuria. ive never seen anyone but the ai put troops in manchuria so that just reafirms my assestment
In one of my tsar Russia games Germany actually sea Lioned obviously I just started another run it was 3 to 2 months ago but yeah it only happens to me once
the save game says its in ironman
@@gingerbread101 you can work around ironman with bugs n shit
@@Qwerty-of4cy ik in older patches of 1.12 u can, but i think they've patched them now. + why would the original player play ironman unless they tryna get achievements. wouldnt rlly do it for a challenge if it makes actually starting the challenge way harder
@TruckerDave650 skill issue, i've seen it so many times, mostly italy does it because sometimes britain just loses all of its navy
Who needs winter to defend the motherland? A very patient and slightly deranged Belgian man does it better.
He becomes a office worker at the end!
Any day with a disaster save is always a good day
hell yeah brother
cheers from iraq
Honestly? This feels less like a disaster save and more like that person issued a challenge for you to repel their player-setup Germany. And if that's so, good job to the both of you.
I had a game recently that went almost exactly the same as this. Axis successfully sealioned and capitulated the Allies then came for me. I lost the Stalin line and got naval invaded in the north so I lost Leningrad. Got pushed all the way until I was fighting in Moscow itself and just outside Stalingrad. I actually managed to recover and by 1946, I had them on the ropes and was pushing back but just as I was about to start crowning myself Bittersteel reincarnate, Turkey joined the war with no warning and I capped. Most blue-balled I've ever been in HOI4.
Behind No Step Back I had one similar game as USSR. I fell back to the damn Urals! Was about to give up, but then I checked my numbers. Some 8M lost and over 20M lost on German side, so I decided I would grind them out. And I did. They never got past Urals, even though Germany got to the tile next to them. And then I pushed them back and capitulated them... Took to about 1950's but I did it. :-P
@@mattipeltola8949Every time i’ve done a soviet union/russia playthrough i’ve always done the dnipro line. I wanna try something else like just putting a frontline and just try to hold them off
"This USSR Disaster needs me to defend Moscow" Pretty historically accurate tbh
I got instant PTSD from when the German AI steamrolled me as the USSR and my friend played commi-china.
We were both pushed back so hard that we were reduced to my friends home province.
And somehow we managed to turn the tide and win.
It took like...
5 years?
Edit:
The weirdest thing was that the AI actually used mechanized.
To be fair, Superior Firepower could also describe historical SU pretty well
All the doctrines were to some extent practiced by every (major) army - Soviets did mass mobilization, deep battle, grand battleplan (what else would you call Kursk, for example?), superior firepower as you said and of course mobile warfare in their armoured doctrines. There were degrees, but the in-game separation of these is definitely ahistorical, though understandable from a gameplay perspective
Soviets before Stalingrad is 4th doctine, after - Superior Firepower
@@2Links You could argue that you can already do all of these, but choosing a doctrine is just specialization.
Italy is allowed into the dardenelles because they have alliance with Romania. Because the way naval locations are, the AIs command to go to the allied port overrides the Straight mechanic. I think you can do this too in SP
11:25 no intelligence agency porbably because he doesn't have the La Resistance DLC. I believe you can still do the focus without the DLC
CHALLENGE: As Trotskyist Russia defeat the axis, here's the twist. Your units will be 1 infantry and one support artillery. Your only grace is you have complete control of your air design, your shock troops of which you will have only 5, are 30 width motorized of your choosing. Say hello to 1000 infantry divisions!!
That looks like a plot to kill his CPU
@@youdontneedtoknowwhoiam9612 ISP did it with China lol
At last: historically accurate disaster save
Except for the allies being dead
@@poland-lithuania details, details
You talked about the player might not have the latest expansion. That could be some nice info to have, when you start a save. I mean it could explain a lot sometimes. I for example only have expansions up to waking the tiger, so was it my save I would no way to make an agency. Just a thought.
16:40 i really like positive heroism for Zhukov
This one is not bad, it is actually incredibly historically accurate, other than the Allies being no more :)
Yeah that is crazy... How did the Allies get defeated??
@@marcusappelberg369 player intervention, apparently it appears that the player played with Germany before switching to the Soviets through a console command.
(From other comments)
@@VK-jy3pi Yeah that seems to be the only way.
@@VK-jy3piefinitely wasn’t AI Soviets. He rushed mec and medium tanks. AI also does plane research and he had none. Also AI Soviets always does the focuses that he didn’t do like the agitprop. I have seen AI sea lion before multiple times. Rare but it definitely happens.
@@VK-jy3pi nah i have seen italy ai land in scotland many times
I am incredibly impressed you won and kept your sanity. A classic Bitt3rsteel victory, methodical and brilliant.
Stand and follow command, our blood for the homeland
Heed the motherland's call, and brace for the storm
Moscow will never give in, there is no surrender
Force them into retreat, and into defeat!
"Don't attack, it's pointless" 🤣🤣
Because he can’t breakthrough and would just bleed equipment and manpower he doesn’t think that you shouldn’t attack the enemy during wars
It’s ok Steiner can always attack
Mr. Bitt3rsteel, you are the first (and probably the only) CZcamsr I'll ever hit the Join button for! Love every single video
Thank god for your vids man. They bring me much needed joy after a busy day.
As someone with 15 hours on the game this video helped me know what not to do so much, awesome vid
I think this is my game from a while back and i see alot of people saying i switched from germany which i did not. This was my first ironman game as soviet ever and if you look i didnt have any dlcs. The reason the allies capped is because vichy france naval invaded dover and killed the uk with the help of germany.
Finished watching the video this was my game
Just loaded the save and saw its not my game but very similiar almost too similiar
You had no dlcs? Not even No Step Back? Not sure I believe you...
@@Sascha5 i think the game converted my upgraded 1942 t34s when bittersteel loaded into the game but im not sure i at least know that its not a fake disaster save
@@Maximus-mf2ty if you don't have NSB which adds the tank designer, it won't show as any of the tanks being researched for Bittersteel.
@@kirby1225 Yea this game really looked like one off my games but its not because i puppeted finland in mine
Also, I know it'll be absolutely suffering, but I've been trying to accomplish a campaign where I would drain the Axis for all of their manpower as much as possible, scraping the barrel on the big 3 etc. Would love to see your attempt on it.
Just wanted to say Mass assault does make sense with the soviets purely because of their issue with getting xp. I've been able to get the "not a step back" and "Race for germany" achievement on normal
i still use 30 width medium tanks as germany. they're really op. my BIGGEST victory with them was 2 medium tanks vs 11 infantry divisions w/ 2 motorized & 1 light tank division. it was glorious. it got me a 300k manpower encirclement.
It's been 12 hours, but I suggest a "members killed counter" to see how many members have died in your many armies. Seems like a fun time and something a bit entertaining to track.
When you want to check the lastest casulties for a battle you can click the document icon right side of the "theater name" (soviet theater 1 in your case). Then you will see the exact number you have killed in every battle. It also give lots of detailed information about battles. Cheers. I like your disaster contents.
I think you should ALWAYS build railway guns as a major nation. When you started puching, if you had then, it would help you alot.
Other than the Allies being dead (Which I have no idea how that happened), Germany's progress into the USSR is honestly surprisingly accurate.
italy and vichy france will naval invade britain and germany will put troops in to help but germany won’t directly do the naval invasion
Aka player intervention did it.
29:54 that "yes!" was very anime.
bro, how the hell did you do this, amazing job.
I love these disaster saves
He really turned on the day/night cycle option and left it on the rest of the game without tearing his eyes out.
Bitt3r with another banger
Keep it coming brother 💯💪🏿
16.30 Imo right side is better if you rush it very early, that production efficiency growth is huge for the Soviets (and the research speed is nice if not investing heavily in industrial focuses), but the left side is just more fun
There’s quite a challange that I don’t know anyone has done it, that’s playing NSB democratic lithuania, unite the Baltics and defend against Soviet. Yeah I’m asking your Baltic videos again, just this time you’ll be alone Bitersteel =))
Also the laugh 😅 16:46
pretty sure left and right side of the river is defined by the direction of water flow, so you would be starting your operation from the right side in this case
Mass Morb is a really powerful doctrine. Guerilla Tactics is THE best defensive tactic, Mass Charge tactic is THE tactic for battleplanning, and oddly enough you dont lose so many men. You can hard focus air and CAS your enemy to death.

You, my friend, always manage to amaze me with your ridiculous ability to save even the worst saves
The fact that Germany capitulated the UK is very telling that this player played Germany first. I've literally never seen German AI or Italian AI ever successfully perform a naval landing of the UK, much less attempt it.
I’ve seen Italian AI beat the uh like 3 times, I agree with you, but they could do it.
Italians sometimes do it, but certainly not by 1941. At that point they are usually still fighting in Africa.
@@PadaV4 Have seen Italy succesfully Sea Lion in '40, historical regular and no modifiers. Only once in my 700 hours of gameplay though D:
I mean with no la resistance Vichy France just gets puppeted like bourbon France and uses there navy to naval invade britian it always happens and then Germany is free to fuck the soviets up
Every time I see the "C'mon, do something" meme, I just remember the stream where Jim Davis revealed it and asked people to make memes with it.
New title: "Bittersteel roasts the shit out of you"
Goddamn that was something to behold, well done!
"Japan will never attack you!" I have flashbacks to pre waking the tiger updates. everytime japan loses to china, japan would justify war goals against the soviet union.
Historically accurate
i tried the disaster and instantly got like 3 whole armies encircled, even though i tried to do what bitt did,
rip 2 hours of time
“I’m able to really wreck them from the rear.”
- Bittersteel
BitterSteel knows.... we're only here for the encirclements
"it's pointless, Japan will not attcak you on historical"
yet I lost the Not one step back! achievement to japan suddenly declaring war and taking my cores
Looks like BBA and Resistance wasn’t enabled, could explain the lack of agencies
Not using mech is a pretty weird take, maybe if you need a LOT of cheap tank divisions, but why would you not get extra armor and hardness?
I will try to send my own nightmare disaster save 😅
Funny enough I had a game that got close to this kind of territory of trouble. Didn’t have enough air, and the germans just seemed to be doing far better even on an even playing field, but I did make a lot of my industry away from the western lines so that helped a lot. The CAS killed attempts I had to counterattack for so long even when it seemed like I should win, but after enough slogging I made breakthrough and encirclements just as you did and nearly crushed the axis. That is, until Turkey for whatever reason joined the allies and declared war on me. It was over.
Do you have any plans on making a tutorial for new players? I have watched your videos for a while but since you skip the basic setup/build its hard to learn something
Betcha he didn't have La Resistance
Yup, a brown Vichy France. He didn't have La Resitance.
Then again, you can see the spy agency button up on the top, meaning he had la resistance
@notmysteriousthief I think he means the person who sent the disaster save, not bittersteel
@@poland-lithuania Yeah, there wasn't any confusion. I don't think you can add DLC to a save game that didn't have that specific DLC.
@@notmysteriousthief4629 You can though. If you add BBA to a non-BBA save it will give you the plane designer, just no planes researched.
Glorious Soviet Tanks don't need fuel, they run on pure revolutionary spirit!
I would have used trucks in the tanks and filtered them out as you built more mech, you wouldn't loose too many trucks and your tanks would be fully functional.
I like the right side of the Agritrop focuses
He put you in almost 100% accurate scenario
The AI when it realizes Bittersteel has taken charge: My time has come
te urmaresc din romania, faci o treaba foarte buna frate 💙💙💛💛❤❤
I love the ¨yesss!!!¨ in 29:54
Best tank division out there💪💪
I only play with grand battleplan as if fortifications didn’t work use more fortifications
The Italian navy could have maybe followed rivers into the black sea, through Romania or Bulgaria maybe? It did happen in ww2 that ships followed rivers
Go with grand battle plant get more entranchement so you can hold line with out last stand superior firepower is for offensive so used to for defense is pointless you don't need more soft attack
Stand and follow command, our blood for the homeland
Heed the motherland's call, and brace for the storm
Moscow will never give in, there is no surrender
Force them into retreat, and into defeat
Bitter Steel: Struglles with disaters someone cooked, and wins
Me who best can do is making New Zeland Tank only
There is a multiplayer strategy where New Zealand builds only super-heavy tanks actually.
@@Prussia_ I'm doing the same but alone. I already have super heavy tech
As Soviet Union you can invest heavily in airplanes because you got the resourses, Cas is Op, if you combine it with good infantry you can easily rush all the way to Berlin without even micro maganing
Bro was researching radar when he had no airforce...
im kinda burnt out with hoi4 but i still like watching bitt3rsteel
Mass Assault -> Deep Battle is actually pretty decent to be honest.
I'd tend to agree with some people saying about how this was probably a germany game, but the fact that Germany had both mediums and light makes me doubt that a bit more so idk.
Sadly I lost my Romania disaster save
(D day happend but we were pushing USSR)
I must not be the only one who got scared by the sponsor.
I mean.. Blue screen... REALLY ?
It's every PC user's nightmare
imagine me like general or field marshal: General Grginov
Playing as the Soviet Union. "I guess I learned that BRUTE FORCE works."
Welp, checks out XD
You need to make a A to Z disaster save game
This actually feels like the Hoi4 alone commercial.
I believe positive heroism is worth because the other side bonuses you will take it by the patriarch of all Russia so go for positive heroism to unlock armor genius kostantin rokossovsky
He managed to make it harder than the actual eastern front.
''All you had to do was building the damn civies SJ''
" looks like this is turning into a catastrophe. Pulling out, I am pulling out! " I know some people whose dads should've said this
This looks exactly like one of my saves.
Did you get this from an email that started with jasonsimons18?
They might have not have had an agency because not everyone wastes their hard earned money on DLCs
bro's tactic is germany invading napolonic fance , gaps gaps gaps
Looks almost historical BTW. Even the troops gap near Moscow.
P.S. Japan can attack u on historical if you are loosing to Germany and lost border conflicts with Japan.
Not sure about 100% accurate prerequisites, but I do remember Japan justifying on me couple of times.
Bitt3rsteel in my opinion is the CZcamsr that is the best at this game in general. Sure, Taureor has strategy, but he admits he is not willing to do the micromanaging that Bitt3rsteel excels at nor does he have patience for the Naval/Designer gameplays that Bitt3rsteel has.
Feedback is also pretty good, but I understand that his preferred game style is not the pure strategy and skill that Bitt3rsteel does. It almost feels like Feedback plays a different game.
I am not saying that Bitt3rsteel is the best at the navy or at designing stuff, but he certainly is balanced enough to be able to do it all.
Also, while we don't often talk about his skill (he doesn't emphasize it for comedic value), ISP is actually quite good at the game. You start to notice it when you repeat the gameplays he does and notice how easy he makes it seem
And 2 of the 3 are funny
我可以再說一次 ： 右邊的戰線，有個像文件的圖示，點擊他 你可以看到最近幾場戰鬥的傷亡(包括敵人與自己 以及裝備丟失率)
12:43 set it to "rigid cohesion" bro
It's hilarious how he made the game harder for himself on accident by having By Blood Alone installed.

Love these kind of vids
I feel comfortable when the enemy troops are surrounded 😂😂
You sure he wasnt playing a strictly historical game?
