You can reach 200%. Benelux has a focus that gives +10 entrenchment (lead minor democracy), Soviets have a focus that gives +5 & +5% overall bonus (masters of defense). Grand battle plan gives +10. Find field marshal that's not an advisor and give him entrenchment for +30% and also once they're a level 4 you can pick entrenchment specialist advisor. +3 on lv4 +5 on lv6 and +7 on lv8. Infantry expert, ambusher +5 from field marshal and another +5 from general. Recon and flame tanks with dozer. +2 was +4 before dozer nerf. Add tank or tank destroyers with dozers, each battalion gives +1 entrenchment. Engineers base +5 and +2 from every research level. I like researching 1942 engineers ahead of time. There is also base +5 and another 10% from defense spirit. Added to your generals defense stats and advisor stats for some bonkers numbers. Be warned that you'll get banned from MP games as it's considered unfair when divisions have 7k defense.

I like how the U.S. in this game isnt even close to being capable of producing what it did historically, and they still had to add in unique mechanics to nerf it. And even still, it's one of the strongest countries in the game. Well, late-ish game. It takes a bit. A historically accurate U.S. would be so incredibly unbalanced though. Lol.

So granted, that's 813 ships that are buildable in hoi, which is possible. I managed to get 1000 ships as the U.S. before. But you have to sacrifice army or air force effectiveness to do it. I chose air force because AI Britain spams planes. But irl the U.S. had 63,715 airplanes by 1945 - the soviets by contrast had about 20k. There was about 12.2 million people in all branches of the armed service. About 8.3 million of which were in the Army. The Soviets by contrast had about 11.3 and 9.8 respectively. And you can look up production numbers, it's absolutely insane. 297,000 aircraft were produced by the U.S. throughout the war for example.

The GD focuses in the communist path are not limited by silly things like "Working together to draft new legislation" and as long as you rush down the focuses, you should be fine to get them done without having enough communism to flip communist. Just replace the communist guy with a democratic reformer, and raid the communists, when you've started the last focus and you can later take Neutrality act and do Arsenal of Democracy focuses once communism dies back down.

Just as a headsup, once you get into the high numbers with the engine upgrades, it actually becomes more efficient in terms of reliability and production cost to go for a gasoline engine and less points into engine to reach the same speed. Diesels are at their best for slow-ish tank designs that don't put a lot of points into engine anyway.
