    I needed this so much! What normally happened to me was I would create these huge tank divisions and invade the USSR but halfway through, I would run low on supplies and get pushed back to Berlin.

      39 Start I would have at least 5 Heavy Tank Divisions or 10 Medium Tank Divisions (By Barb 6/1941). If you need a guide take a look at my new Expert AI video series: czcams.com/video/MgGYcNAB8DQ/video.html

    • @ESG1

      You can produce tanks with a production penalty. I wouldn't go more than -7 deficit. You can trade with Portugal until war starts and then you can invade Yugo or Greece for the tungsten.

    • @ESG1
      @ESG1  Před 2 lety

      Yes, the new construction tanks will be added to your template first. U can get around this by unchecking the newer tanks under the division template -> equipment. That allows u to choose only the equipment u want to be used. Be careful though. This is micro intensive.

(I build them in 4-5 pronvinces, is that to much?) I also have no idea what to do with production. My aim is to defeat all allies in europe by early 1940 them take the soviets. Also i can never sea lion and either im in a stalemate with britain or thet destroy my fleet.

      Click on the old equipment and it will give you an option to change the production line to the new equipment. No key binds unfortunatly. Actually is a great idea, you should pass that along to the paradox devs.
