Looking fairly good, but there was one thing that you missed in the setup. If you change the factories allocates to a prosuction line on the first day of a game, it will not change the prosuction efficiency. So you could have put more factories on infantry equipment from the start.
I beat it by NOT withdrawing to a new line. I did convert all divs to infantry to hold better, also got rid of some extra divs on the eastern front to free up equipment. Then prioritizing guns then planes. Any time I got a surplus of guns I would add battalions to the inf division template to get them to 40W. Also kept about 10 mils on tanks that I only used to repel the Allie’s. After you stabilize the eastern front it’s not too hard to beat the soviets. But the key is repelling the Allie’s, eventually they do stop invading. Was a fun mod but good luck to anyone attempting!
Paradox should add a lot of stuff, mostly quality of life improvements. Like a button that lets you save a design if you don't have the xp to make it at that moment so you don't have to remember what you made when you come back to it
While they're at it they can allow that template to be pasted onto different airframes so I'm not playing in 1945 with improved airframes because I can't be asked to design the same planes I've been using just with a better airframe and a better engine.@@Finn_the_Cat

Also, could just be the AI but the mod doesn't seem as good as the Ensieg scenarios considering in 1944 after like a year and a bit the main competitor, the soviets, are out of guns..
it is really nice to watch you play this game, always very satisfying and very educational, i hope one day i can reach your level in this game, much love.
29:24 "Tanks, you are failing me right now! Well, you don't have supplies. I understand, but you're still failing me right now." Pretty sure Hitler actually said that in 1943/44! Truly a historic game!
Man, I wish I understood more of this game. I enjoy it, but out of the dozens of scenarios I've tried, I've only achieved my goals in one. I feel like most of my problem comes from division templates. Economy-wise, things usually go pretty smoothly, and I have a lot of equipment stocked up, but I just never can seem to do well with my divisions.
Division templates are the easiest thing in the game. For infantry division, just use 10 Infantry Battalions (20 width) and add artillery, engineer support company. This division will perform well against anything in single player. For tank division, make 40 width, 10 tank battalions and 10 motorised infantry. Add artillery, engineer, logistics and other preferred support companies. The most important stat in tanks is Breakthrough; maximise breakthrough stat in tank designs and use Mobile Warfare doctrine for the breakthrough buffs. Use meta fighter designs and get air supremacy, which will boost your breakthrough even more. I learned the game by watching Bittersteels 'Ultimate Germany' tutorial and following in-game exactly as he did. From there I kept playing and learning new mechanics. After a few games it will feel very easy. I wish I understood less of this game, cause when you know all the stats it feels very shallow and too easy lol. Enjoy the challenge while its still there
@@Haha__ 21 width infantry with 9 inf, 1 arty is better for most. The combat width system was reworked and you no longer have to stay on numbers divisible by 10 to be meta. Back in the day any template which wasnt 20, 30 or 40 width was horrible but nowadays 21 and 24 width are more meta. If you have massive manpower such as soviet or japan 30 width with 2 arty, 12 inf is worth it as it will demolish most other inf. For marines you go 30 width with 4 arty, 9 inf and engineers obv. Generally you can go a slightly highhr amount of tanks than you recomend in your tank divs. For example 11 tanks, 9 motorized or even 12 tanks, 8 motorized if you have alot of doctrine. The motorized is only there to raise organization and the doctrines (primarily mobile warfare in the case of tanks) raise org so much that it will reduce the amount of motorized needed. I also wouldnt recomend engineers for tanks as they improve defense and amphibious invasions and tanks shouldnt be used for either of those. For tanks you should go maintenance, arty and logistics as tanks drain supply extremely fast.
@@ew264 I used to main 21 width 9/1s and they performed well, but I prefer 20 widths now. The 9/1s are very expensive in artillery plus you lose some defense and org swapping out the infantry for arty. Really it's all up to personal preference, it doesn't matter in singleplayer. That's the freedom of the game that makes it so good

Nice Mod Bitt3, I tried it too. But I still have to understand why they don't update the Endsieg, it's a beautiful mod and it would be a shame to leave it like that.
As I learned from their Discord, spaghetti code, too much leftovers from earlier versions which no one cleaned up That's why you had weird Karelian isthmus country, and other such bugs

@@altf4mapping129lol yeah I thought so. I used to just keep upgrading and spamming them and put them on high risk retreat and they would eat large portions of the Royal navy.
This was quite hard but definitely not very hard, all you have to do is 3 speed micro the soviet front slowly retreating the Soviet hordes, while pushing out the occasional day with the 4 tanks on the western front. Eventually because the Soviets have 9mil deployed manpower they attrition themselves out of supply and equipment, then you encircle and kill them. Didn’t even have to retreat back to the river line. I think you should try the 1944 version of the mod, it is definitely a lot harder but quite similar strategy to what I just described works, it is just marginally more difficult.
Has no supply, looks at motorization... still using horses. Yep, there's your problem. Also you REALLY needed to put that air up during the offensive, enemy air was just destroying your logistics.
