Add to that massive nerft to air defence of AA and you get NO defence from CAS (even if you stack both light and heavy AA in support of you div you will get only around 30 air defence which is easily overcome by any ingame CAS). Just focus on air and you will be fine.

YES IT IS . (I'd like to see your approach)

You can do the 2nd five year plan quite easily on normal with some pre planning and micro if you know what you are doing. The requirements for it depend on the difficulty you pick. Constantly doing "Pripska" can help, since that randomly makes one of the conditions easier. There is a video on my channel where i do the plan, though it might be a bit outdated. Giving tractors to the peasants, slowly, over time, removes the industrial debuffs you have and gives you more manpower and such. You'll have to take the decision quite a few times before they are fully removed however. Soviets are rather hard, in a sense that you have to know what you are doing to mitigate the purges. For example, you can rush ww2 techs and get 1 maybe 2 out the door before the purges hit and they start taking like 900 days to research. But you have to know which one to pick. Pick the wrong one, and you'll have a bad time. But for all this you have to grind the SCW for XP, constantly train your units, spend PP on advisors and do whatever you can to get XP to rush the ww1 techs out the door. They don't take long, probably a year or so if you rush them. You also don't need all ww1 techs, there are some that aren't needed to start the WW2 ones. Again, you have to know what you are doing here. Winning the SCW will also make the purges slightly less punishing, but good luck with that one. I also found "NKVD Primacy" to be much better in the long run than "Rehabilitated Military" Now, defending right at the border is also a really bad idea. You have to defend behind rivers, in forests, fortifications and in bigger cities well behind the border. This is why you lost so many men and divisions at the start. Let the Germans slowly come to you and give up some of the western land. This buys you time and drains German supply and planning bonus. For this reason, you need to build all your factories around and behind Moscow, so you lose less to the eventual invasion. Personally i build no infras and only civs, then only mils mixed in with air assemblies, and plane assemblies after the 2nd five year plan ends. Maybe improve some of the railroads around Moscow. You also need a lot of planes to contest the air and mitigate the German CAS. I recommend producing only fighters at first. You really picked the worst country to play with as someone who is new to the mod. EDIT: Oh my god, you manually declared war on the baltics! That is one of the WORST things you can do as the soviets and it's a guaranteed one way ticket to lose the game because the purges are going to be a hundred times worse! You must use the focuses to annex them peacefully. They become available (and visible) once the MR pact is signed and you even get all their divisions intact this way, so more men to fight the germans later on. It is quite odd you did this, since you were going all historical, but the soviets never declared open war on the baltics in real life. I'm surprised you lasted until 1943 to be honest. I recommend joining the Black Ice discord for discussion and tips and tricks.

Using the historical presets is a form of CBT. May God have mercy on your soul, for Black Ice will not

If you run out of historical runs on your to-do-list, would you consider doing the "Lost Lamb Challenge"? The Idea is simple. Start as you home nation using the "Random Country Placement" mod. The goal is to find your way home, which means taking over approximately the territory that your country is supposed to own according to its historical borders. The mod also randomizes all ideologies and resources on the map, as well as manpower. It has great replayability, since no to starting positions are ever alike. If you want to try it out, playing as the UK and finding your way home (owning all of the British Isles) would make for a nice challenge. Remember that you could end up starting in Hawaii. Or Siberia. You never know what you get! 😃 PS. The mod also has the option to give nations a couple of random starting technologies, which I highly recommend clicking "yes" on,. Although the mod makers haven't updated the list of free techs to include tank/plane designer stuff it is still a lot of fun even though you might just get a pre No Step Back -style "Fighter Plane 1" or Light Tank 2". Oh, and the mod currently needs you to save on day 1 after after randomizing the world and then load that save, so that the game refreshes and understands where your new core provinces are. Other than that, it works fine. Hope you give it a try at some point! 🙂

This just shows the importance of a good test game, always good to blitz through a run once just to make sure you know mostly what you're doing and the pitfalls you might end up in (like not seeing the invisible focuses).

Strangely enough, I think a game like this would be very well suited to a fantasy/alternate earth setting. You either have to remove the abstractions baked into HOI4's code, or embrace them fully and design your divisions around it.

The algorithm has sent me here, and good god do I feel your pain sir. Like, HoI IV in default can be number fiddly as all get-out, and even as someone with...disturbing amounts of time in it.

I just thought of something that is possibly truly pain, not only are you limited to only historical templates but also historical battle plans, doctrines and factories meaning you have to use the exact number of factories that were used historically for say rifles

now you need to give this a shot again now that you know about the secret focuses

BICE is my default HOI4 experience, but mostly because I really like designing navies.

You were in a malus for electricity from 1940 onwards basicly, all the time you surpass the 100% usage you get maluses in your factory production, conversion speed and material refinery production, thats why you werent producing enough rawmaterials or even equipment as fast as you could have been, whenever it approches 95% consumption I would suggest building 2 electric production facilities so that you dont have to think about it again for a bit

Have you ever tried to hold the line against Italy as Albania? Not even with historical divisions only, since I imagine the whole surrendering thing probably would make it moot what they used.

considering you played the HARDEST BICE nation in the game, following the ON PAPER divisions (with a sprinkle of "in practice" modifications) the result isn't surprising. the soviets require MASSIVE meta knowledge on top of huge logistical planning, it is pain. i had to retry them 3 times before the 4th time did it. if you ever retry this challenge you have to follow the 41 to 45 a LOT closer to their "in reality" situacion and keep making modifications to your divisions to ensure your divisions keep to 90%+ strength (hoi4 punishes low strength divisions severely) by removing artillery batallions (the soviets irl had so little artillery pieces they ended up being used as direct fire instead of indirect), downgrading your infantry to militia as your mortar and mg stockpiles diminish, as well as only use MEDIUM tanks as "necessary". another important tip to keep in mind is that the actual "health bar" between Germany and the soviets is: Germany has low manpower while the soviets have low equipment. who ever runs out of its respective "health bar" first loses. so you know those severe winter modifiers both parties get? make sure to attack the germans during winter so those modifiers kick in, specially the attrition, to ensure they bleed more and more manpower.

tbh this is why people going "HURR DURR MUH REALISM" should be disregarded 99% of the time

Not gonna lie i would love to see you play Poland with historical divisions only

No infantry, no CAS challenge No infantry means no infantry (including mech/motorized), irregulars, special forces, or anything that has battalions of men walking on the ground to shoot rifles at each other in a template. That means arty, cav, support companies and other such things are OK. Cavalry are firing rifles, but are presumably fighting while on horseback, so they're just combat vehicles that are made of meat instead of metal. Artillery/support companies/etc are men on the ground, but aren't shooting a rifle at anyone. No CAS means no planes except proper fighters and and bombers that aren't ever used in the CAS role.

Fair point

Back in the day (hoi boomer here) this mod was one of the most popular, now I periodically forget it and I only tried it for 20 minutes in 8 years of HOI4, this is probably the most "loved" mod by the devs that has the least love from the community. I actually dislike it, but you can't not appreciate the absolute schizoness that went in its development

Do historically accurate BI France :)

8:35 you made me want tushenka for the first time in 20 years, thanks a lot 😡
