If the Soviets managed to keep Estonia, that would probably have given their pretty large fleet and naval air forces a decent harbor away from German attacks and thus prevent the Germans from even entering the Gulf of Finland. And the Soviet Navy, although not on the scale of major powers and divided amongst two seas, was quite formidable and competitive.

The German problem, as predicted by Paulus and other staff officers who did some war games to test how the invasion of the soviet union would go, with barbarossa and fall blau was they got up to several hundred miles in, right past the range of their supply vehicles (with barbarossa it was right past the point where they had to change gauge on their rail cars at minsk), and then the offensive would stall out due to lack of supplies and they would have to dig in, giving the red army plenty of time to recover and figure out how to counter their tactics. The axis were banking on a rapid victory so they didn't have to fight a war of attrition, which they would lose in long term.

Its weird how in almost all my matches, axis completely stomps the african front yet the USSR basically halts the entire axis with minimal effort. I would've thought it would be the opposite.

the ai gets better at handling naval invasions, a lot of their divisions died that way, ussr did a lot more defending, and from my experience makes insane tank divisions on expert

I noticed that since NSB the Soviet AI always seems to have the problem of being broken in the centre of the front, and then overextending themselves as they hold large number of troops in the baltics and Caucasus while the Germans penetrate even deeper. I think it is a problem with the Soviet AI not understanding where it's railways are and how to hold them.

I find it something how no matter which version of AI used, and whatever historical mode chosen, there is some sort of mandatory requirement that the Axis loses.

You should do Vanilla vs Total War mod timelapse, as that one aims for a lot of historical accuracy compared to Vanilla, and makes things interesting.

Expert AI is looking best because from the beginning to the end of the history it is normal that the ai choosed that way to replay the real history. but the Vanilla ai is called the dreamland ai because this ai is not bound to the real history it is set to write his own story but this is important too so it shows us a different way the "what happend if" way.

So, accurate IA only stop in 1945, but the 2 others are a bit more aggressive. Vanilla started another big one the earliest of the 2, expert had a short break before it happened. Only accurate wouldn't do that.

The amount of unit shuffling...

Пов- советский блицкриг в конце

Really like how Expert AI tends to play out. Eastern Front tends to hold a bit too well and Axis does stupidly well in Africa, possibly why D-Days etc come late because they can't invade through Mediterranean - Generally though it's a lot more satisfying not just seeing the AI throw its troops away in Stupid attacks... Lack of Comintern-Allies War is always nice too. It really annoys me to see that war especially whilst the Axis still exists. Afterwards I'd never play because late game lag but it's fun conceptually.

The soviets especially once Germany declared war on them were severely lacking in all resources and were dependent on the US until late 43 to late 44 even sending over engineers, plant managers, and other types of construction managers to assist with building their infrastructure. If we look at how much money in total we gave to them it was around $12 billion with all resources, money, and equipment that would equate to roughly $185 billion dollars in todays money. Which was about 75% of its total GDP in 1941. So realistically with how the lend leases work in the game we can't fully reenact the scenario, and I believe that people look to in-depth on how OP the soviet Union should be instead of looking at the realistic side of having zero support from the allies would have immediately shown how bad of a place they were really in.

I fell like germany is just set up to lose. They go up against the allies and soviets at the same time which means a lot of troops are forced to stay in reserve or guarding borders/coasts. If they could get the japaneese to join axis maybe theyd have a chance as they could tie up the soviets on the easy long enough to rush moscow and the major cities and knock them out of the war. But as we all know the japaneese always make their own faction (co prosperity sphere) and leave the soviets while having to fight off the allies and Chinese. Now see if japan ignored china and focuses on the soviets with germany for a quick knockout they could than focus on their own targets. Germany going after europe and japan after china and the resources in siam/indonesia.
