- Using an aggressive opening strategy together with late game focuses you become the economic miracle the Soviet Union never was in real history. The Germans come to kick in the door? You swat them down like annoying insects with this strategy!
My Silent Workhorse Axel came up with this strat!
All DLC's up until BBA were used for this video, historical focuses are on.
Stalin picture was made by Isaak Brodsky

*Completes Focus "Recover the Kuril islands"*
*Doesn't take the Kuril islands*
Indeed!
Never let the game know your next steps
Choosing Voroshilov over Zhukov is the same as choosing Guy Fieri over Gordon Ramsey.
I would have also kept Vorochilov. He is level 1 everywhere and consdering all the wars you're doing, he will level up and gain xp really fast.
Zhukov is an armored officer id rather have him as a general and rokosovsky as his field matshal
@@axels3619 It depends what kind of commander you want. Defensive or offensive. Voroshilov have two bad traits: Old Guard and Politically Connected. Combined it gives you -35% experience gain. Cuiykov, Popov and Rokosovsky are way better offensive field marshals with Brilliant Strategist trait. Zhukov is a great tank commander. I use him in my tank army to make breakthrough. But if i need a defensive field marshal, i rather use Semyon Budyonny. He have cool mustache.
Guy Fieri can point you to the best diners, drive ins, and dives though!
I pick Guy Fieri 😂
You dare questioning Stalin on steroids? Off the Gulag you go!
This is the coolest strat I've seen. Thank Axel for that strategy for me!
Will do!
My pleasure!
I just came across this vid. I like your style of presenting a strategy because you don't speed the video up a 100x and explain enough to be able to replicate it. Thank you! Liked and subscribed. 🙂
Thats what I'm aiming for. Although I do notice when I do longer videos with more explanation, less people actually watch it. So I have to carefully balance...
22:38 never do the left side 💀 foreign experts gives a powerful industrial designer -5 consumer goods and bonus factory construction speed
I never actually looked at this, but usually choose for local production or designers. In some cases, like Bulgaria, foreign designers require you to be at peace with certain foreign countries - and soviets aren't very good at peace ;-)
Very nice video, I will have to save and rewatch a bunch of times to fully understand the strategy and implementation, like another comment said, LIKED and SUBSCRIBED
Thats insane. I always thought of COMECON as a late game thing that you use after puppeting axis members I never though of it like this
I seriously believe thats how its intended - a post WW2 preparation for a showdown with the Allies
I always appreciate challenges that have you build your industry towards a certain goal with expansion on the way! Especially when you also achieve the Soviet Onion on the way.
When I try to invade japan, it always says I don't have enough naval support to start the invasion even with my whole fleet in the area supporting it. Also whenever I try to justify war against Iran/iraq, Great Britian promises to defend them every single time so I can't puppet them.
Ставь паузу, когда оправдается война с Ираном Афганистаном и Ираком
А по Японии такая же схема
В моменте Япония просто не успевает выставить флот.
Could optimise it with paranoia management no?
What do you mean? I do manage the paranoia, but thats different each game so I don't show too much of it
You're legendary Antasil, now. Can you also share your SPA and SPAA designs?
ah yes, the good timeline ;3
Great vid and great strat! This strat might not be applicable to the right opposition since in every run I did I didn't get the full navy after the civil war.
It would be tricky to invade Turkey, Romania and Japan while also managing the Stalin anger meter AND getting the comecon before doing the curtailment of the farm focus since it locks you out of the 5 year plan focuses otherwise.
Yeah combining this with Right opposition is very tricky. I've done Tsarist once, but had to postpone invading Japan until after my civil war. Hardly any navy left by then so that was very diffficult
bro casually killed zhukov
Loving the strategy. I only have the Soviet Onion and Just Proper Gander achievements for my Soviet runs so I am going to try getting Agitprop and Collective Propaganda before 1938 by replacing NKVD Primacy and perhaps delaying Intervention in China too so I can at least plug away at it during the myriad wars.
800 factories is absolutely insane bro.
Great video! Like challenging but rewarding strategy.
The main question is if annexing all that territory would provide less factories?
I've encountered some issues:
1. Due to patches or DLCs Turkey is being guaranteed by United Kingdom and German Reich
2. Invading Japan is only possible because AI doesn't assign their fleet at start, which I consider an exploit, also it would not be possible if initial invasion fails
Annexing usually gives less factories due to low compliance, although that builds up. Liberated workers as occupation law is also very good for that. The puppets are all to make maximum use of the COMECON benefits.
@1: not if you justify asap. They need 25% world tension to guarantee - the german and UK guarantee are added in 1938 I think when Turkey does certain focuses. Don't let them
@2: I fully agree that these quick naval invasions are an exploit. They are also the only way a minor nation (or at least with a minor fleet) ever gets to do a naval invasion against UK or Japan. And there's a high risk of interception. I'll allow it :-)
The Soviet focus tree is so good! It can do so much for you, and you don't even need exploits for it to take over the world, just using the right focuses. Simply brilliant. My favorite along with Italy's and Poland's for the sheer power it gives you. If you want a major who can pull their weight, that's a focus tree for you.
Pdx has done that with most of the new focus trees, but also along with a lot of problems and debuffs you have to solve. So many choices to make....
Great video sir , thx !
Hey man, great video! Does template of support company of flame tanks really matters or should i just build the cheapest tank i can? Thanks!
If you're using flame tanks for their bonuses then the cheapest will do. In some cases you use them for armor and hardness as well, they give a little as support company. In that case you can get more armor which makes it a little more expensive
Speed matters too though, if it’s too slow it will slow your tank divisions down
Romania always joins allies in my run along with the Iraq, Iran and Afghanistan.
How the heck did you manage to make the uk and france not to guarantee iran iraq etc. i’ve retried 3 times already and the allies always guarantee them. does it have anything related to AAT or 1.13?
I retried this this week and it went fine. But its in the details. I do not capitulate romania and turkey before the focus with the wargoal finishes. And when the focus does finish I declare immediately with no delay. Goodluck!
Hey what’s the template of your tanks cause I wanna make sure I get the best divisions
In short - medium tanks with medium howitzer. I'll make a seperate video on my tank builds soon!
Gonna guess the strategy before watching: rush southern thrust then use the civs from the puppets there to snowball
Warm
@@antasil5768Nice video, I wasn’t expecting eating China and Japan so early. Another fun snowball strat is going Trotsky and getting NKVD primacy in order to spam 10-day war goals
nice strategy
Thanks!
You choosed to purge Zhukov?
Just why he is your best general
I have many good generals, but my field marshal who was the other option, had levelled up like a boss with logistics wizard and skilled staffer.
@@antasil5768 oh ok then i guess the field marshall was a better opinion
I usually just make Zhukov a field marshall as he has higher stats than my field marshalls after the purge
i tried the same but i can't get naval supremacy. japanese navy destroys soviet navy
To get enough Naval Supremacy on day 1 of the war, make sure your Naval Intelligence on Japan is 40% or more. If you have 40%, you receive no intelligence-related debuffs to your supremacy. You will still need to make sure your fleet is on Invasion Support (or Patrol or Strike Force, but Invasion Support will let them provide you with shore bombardment until the Japanese sink them) and that your invasion plan is engaged before you unpause after declaring war, because the Japanese will quickly retake supremacy in the sea tile.
In order to achieve the 40%, take the Naval Department and Invisible Ink agency upgrades, decrypt the Japanese cypher, and plop a spy to build network in Japan. You can also infiltrate navy if you want but this isn't necessary. If you have to delay a collaboration government in China to do this, that's fine (you'll still be able to get 100% compliance before the China war finishes), because in my experience you won't be able to launch the invasion without the 40%, and sparing just one spy for the network is fine (you'll want the intelligence to help with the fighting against Japan anyway). I'm not sure if Antasil just didn't show his Japanese spy network, or if he didn't do one and got lucky, but you'll do better with one. Trust me - I tried following the guide and got stuck with the invasion too! But I got it on my second try.
Also, don't have your navy engage the Turks and Romanians after the initial naval invasion of Anatolia. You want to take the Turkish battleship in the peace deal for a little extra help in Japan. You still can't go head to head against the Japanese, but every bit helps to get that initial supremacy.
@@roberttreder7534 yes i get turkish and romanian navy but it is not enough
@@ziya805 Do you get the spy network on Japan too? With that, the invasion should launch as long as your invasion order and your fleet orders are in place and activated before unpausing from declaring the war.
Robert's advice is good. I didn't pay attention to naval intelligence myself. But I always follow these steps (even if I don't always show them explicitly):
1) declare war immediately after getting the wargoal. Let not one hour in game time pass! This is very important.
2) Set navy to strike force. Only switch to naval invasion support once your troops have launched from the port. With Strike force, the navy will sit in the port; with naval invasion support they possibly engage other fleets too soon.
Antasil i did a few runs but the allies kept guaranting middle east what should i do?
Same, they intervene after turkey/Romania and if leave the war going too long Romania joins the allies
Like in Victoria ii.
idk if it is because of the new dlc but after a while romania just joins the allies and then im in war with Britain pls help
Yeah I've seen them join Allies sooner in a lot games....
@@antasil5768 yea the reason is arms against tyranny. After turning off that dlc They dont join allies so esrly any more
All goes well until I declare on Japan, and only have 33% naval supremacy. What devilish tricks did you do to keep the Japanese fleet away?
I made a tutorial just for that!
@@antasil5768Hi. I have replayed this multiple times in AAT. I cannot get "zero day" naval invasion trick to work. Wondering if it has been patched. I've tried every variation I can think of - early invasion (May 1938), late (Jan 1940). Whichever I go for the Japanese navy is already out on patrol and on declaration of war, I only have 30% superiority. Because of all USSR debuffs, air superiority is extremely hard to get early, so I don't get a positive multiplier there to naval supremacy. I prioritise spies in Japan over being China to ensure I have some Intelligence superiority to add to naval. Even with decryption active, best I have managed is 33%. If this part of your strategy fails, then whole Comecon strat fails. Any ideas? Zero day just doesn't seem to work any more. (Your video is not in AAT, so wondering if its me or AAT has killed zero day naval invasions.)
@@RichKPhotosI'm going to try and do this in a live stream!
This appears to gotten patched, I tried 50 times, and didn't get it. 😢
Once you start doing southern thrust, they just guarantee them before I can ever get them.
Not to my knowledge, and I played this run two weeks ago. The important things are 1) not to capitulate Romania and Turkey until Southern Thrust is done and 2) to pause the game on the completion of Southern thrust and declare all those wars at once. Turn on pause on notifications for that. Good luck!
Your voice sounds a bit nasal... Did you catch a cold?
Ah yes I did. I didn't notice it at the time but i cut out a lot of coughs during editing
@@antasil5768 oh🥲
I wish you a quick recovery!
If I start a game, rumania isnt guaranteeing turkey why?
Ah.. its dlc content
Ah yes, this is with all current DLC's.
u can get same or even better results without killing anyone
Can you get 'desperate measures' and 'lessons of war' done before Barbarossa?
@@antasil5768 I was talking industry wise
@antasil can you please raise the volume of the audio? I always struggle to hear you
Sorry! I'll do better next time :-)
which template were these tank divisons?
As I recall they were motorized divisions with only 2 or 3 tank batallions. I always just start with the motorized, then expand them with tank batallions as I build them.
@@antasil5768 thx man, another question: i have trouble navel invading japan.. if i set my fleed on navel invasion support they instanly lose navel supremacy in the sea of japan.. what am i doing wrong.. i think u set your fleed on strike force pre war decleration, maybe thats why.. or do u have to send ur airforce there aswell..
Why is the restoration and development focus completed when you haven't done the focuses it requires to even do the focus?
Because, a war with a major disrupts the original 5 year plan. Completing that war opens up this focus (says so in the tooltip). I think this was meant for before and after world war 2
Why not satellite countries like kurdistan and moldova?
japanese war for kurils and south sakhalin, doesnt take kurils and south sakhalin
They were always just the excuse to go to war...
Very overpowered
