that's your problem. you either go for tanks or art from the start. just 2 heavy tanks is all you need to win against any small nation and you can easily get them before 1938 and conquer your neighbors .
Seriously…if I could post a meme in the comment it would be that WFT one…mobile warfare and only 2 tank divisions? Joke of an Air Force, and haven’t event researched anti-air…at war with Axis yet decide to pick a fight with Allies too…damn man…

The lore of this world (that I made up from my imagination) says that the Americans continued to attempt naval invasions wherever their darts landed on the map, though the invasions were "planned out" they rarely landed, and always ended in annihilation of divisions sent on said mission. As war support in the US dropped, minorities began to protest against being used as cannon fodder as most of the divisions charged with the naval invasion orders were found to be of Hispanic and African- American ethnicity. 2 years of this senseless meat grinder, and the United Balkan Federation suppressed civil unrest in the occupied territories and built up their navy and even their air force for the first time in years. Though the allies saw all of this occurring, with the Suez under the control of the United Balkan Federation, the British Empire was essentially paralyzed as their routes were overextended and prone to attrition and raiding. On Friday, March 7th, 1947, the United Balkan Federation had it's air force take flight en masse above the British Channel and engaged in a fierce dog fight with the British RAF. The navies of both countries restrained the other, but in the end the UBAF gained a significant advantage over the RAF and cleared the skies for naval bombers to play a role. The battles in the Channel lasted a grueling 9 days, of which 3 could only be described as slaughtering the remains of the ruined British Royal Navy. Another 3 days later, and the invasion of Great Britain begins in Dover and Plymouth. Due to how long the British had prepared, and with the fact that the US still lent the last bit of support they could with their waning war support and increasing civil unrest, the battle for Britain waged on for a good 6 months, unfortunately, numbers alone were not enough to stop the onslaught of the Balkan medium tanks. In the end, every major city in what was once Great Britain, burned, London was not spared. This was the final straw, though news was heavily censored in the US, the fact that millions more American soldiers never returned home led to the public realizing that the war was lost. Men all over the country dodged the draft, others deserted active duty, the issue was too widespread for law enforcement to properly control. Canada too gave up, the prime minister agreed to become a puppet of the United Balkan Federation in exchange for a guarantee that he would keep his position, the rest of the Empire followed suit. The US begged for a peace deal and they were forced to pay $50,000,000,000 in war reparations, had to downsize their army so that no more than 200K men were in active duty at one time, and had to hand over control of the countries that were under the US sphere of influence such as Colombia, Philippines, Guam, Cuba, and more. The US had no choice but to accept. Japan soon fell as well, and to make sure that the US swallowed it's pride entirely, a new weapon was revealed to the world. 3 nuclear bombs were released over Japan within the course of 3 days, The first one on Hiroshima, the second on on Osaka, the third on on Nagasaki. The effect of these weapons were publicized and used as propaganda fuel throughout the world to show the power of the United Balkan Federation which has become the new world order along with their Allies, the Soviet Union who received many of the benefits of Japan's capitulation. After 10 years Europe's border's are redrawn. Hungary, the most faithful vassal of the Balkan Federation is rewarded generously with 100,000 km of land, most of which came from Austria, and effectively doubled the size of their territory. The Germans had nothing to say about such a transaction, and even if they did, they couldn't. France was too unruly, and had too strong of a cultural identity to be efficiently annexed so they too became a puppet, though they were split into 2 countries, Spain and Italy were held tightly under Bulgarian control as they could not be trusted to not do something stupid like start a war they could not win alone. Poland will never reach space as they were left under German control, so sad. The only countries in Europe entirely unaffected by this war were Sweden and Switzerland.
Neo-Roman Empire, but dominated by the Balkan States Medium tanks are so good. German world conquest is very fun if you rush Panzer 5s (but usually you've already killed everyone by then if you have Panzer 5s, even if in early 1941)
I do have a question, how do you find the inspiration to keep coming out with videos? I mean, it's hard to find ways to keep finding an inspiration for making videos.
Why deleting cut-off divisions? You don't get their equipment or manpower so they're as good as dead. Wouldn't it be better to leave them to tie some units just a little bit longer?
Yeah, I immediately realized you get that 20% but you can't edit in mobile browser version. Still 20% from 3 divs is nothing when you've got 1M manpower. That's less than 1000 guys if I count correctly.
5:50 if you fell back to istanbul you could hold the strait with like 5 infantry and send the remaining 15 to the german front instead of just sitting them there
Heh, I have some 12 million losses as Japan vs. Axis (Soviets capitulated to me). The front line is *humongous*, from North Siberia all the way down to India. I will be trying that tank division thing, I had to use cavalry in China and it kind of works. Great job anyway and the speed...? Yeah. Destroy 2000 enemy divisions, it's gonna get better lol!
You can see where the naval invasion is happening just clicking on the advise on the right, you can even see where they will invade in the future and send garrisons.

Love me some Bitt3rSteel but WHEN is he going to invade the US in a game. I know its hard but that's why I watch you! Cause you're good at this game lol
He built forts on the ports because the ai likes to invade next to it and then attack so that way he has extra defense from those nearby divisions. Coastal forts only defend against units coming over sea which already have huge penalties for attacking in a naval invasion
@@thomastime8511 I understand the logic behind it but think it this way. If enemy manage to get the port with forts they get a supply line you cannot break with your infantry because you build ports using your own production. It's is dangerous to say the least.
@@Bitt3rSteel damn man I really didn’t know you have a child , thats must be tough to take care of him btw i pray that for him he will become a person with great personality Amen…….. love from Indonesia :)
I have a Soviet disaster game where I tried to invade Manchuria to stop Japan from beating China. He beat China anyways and the two front war against him and Germany became very difficult. Game is in 1944 but I doubt it’s possible to beat Germany at this point. Wanna give it a try?
Sooooooooo... if I were to make a reaaaaaaaaaaaaally annoyingly disaster save to let you suffer, I would had to play until the 60's and have a bridge head in north america? Well, time to make a game :P
If you have limited plane production just make fighter's, CAS is useless if you don't have air superiority but even contesting air helps you defend while your tanks do careful pushing. Recently I've just been making heavy fighter's 2 & 3 on mass and making 14/4s and tanks.
@@Bitt3rSteel Oh I should've said I wasn't criticizing your fixing the save I was taking about the state it was in when you got it. Yeah AA + Fighter's do wonders to hold a line but it's a shame you didn't have several refineries, you had the aluminium for it but no matter, some thicc tanks took care of it 👍.
at 2:44 you say you get 15% more division defence. But isn't defence an obsolete stat (in this scenario)? Defence only affects Breakthrough and Defense, not soft/hard attack. Defending infantry divisions already have more than enough defense that any futher point doesn't matter, thus making the +15% defence not needed.
Blitz on MW isn't bad. It helps to make up some breakthrough if youre lacking. While it is useless beyond a point, more breakthrough is often more useful. but yea mobile inf is generally a better choice, just saying blitz isnt bad.
I really wouldn't want to be the German general who must tell Hilter that the entire eastern frontline has been encircled and cut off by the UBF's northern offensive. The man's inevitable temper tantrum at my supposed ineptitude would be worthy of a Downfall rant parody. And he'd certainly have me strung up in a kangaroo court for my so-called "betrayal of the German people" too, which is hardly ideal.
All this time later and the Soviet ai is still crazy weak. Every time I play communist France and never capitulate Germany still manages to completely beat the Soviets while not having any of France Belgium or the Netherlands
Border conflicts can escalate to full-blown war if the two parties keep pushing it, and I know the Japanese can instigate border conflicts with the Soviets. My guess is that a simple skirmish near Vladivostok spiralled out of control.
I think forming the United Balkan Federation gives you all the generals of the other Balkan area nations. The whole thing is done diplomatically after all.

It's best to plan ahead, byt producing a small number of lights early, and trucks. If you can spare a few factories
