Cheesy way of defending USSR from Barbarrosa

Winter seems to favor the defenders.

Okay, disappointing. Looks like they are stopping. Guess it is ready for counteroffensive. Next time may have to buff AI...

Hey, it's that eB1252 guy from reddit! Thank you for trying my strategy (more of a cheese actually). I forgot to mention some stuff though.
--- Because you have so many divisions, and no air superiority, pushing the Germans back is a pain in the arse. But, because the Germans don't defend Königsberg properly, you should be able to push them. Then, when the Allies begin Normandy landings, I recommend you to land a naval invasion in Northern Germany, which will catch them off guard, they will take some troops to your naval invasion. If you bring your tank divisions (preferably 14medium/7motorized), you can even take Berlin, which will make things a whole lot more easier.
Have fun mate!

Thanks for commenting here. Really appreciate it. I am thinking actually of doing a massive land push back, using my 168 divisions and 12 armored divisions (soon!)) back at Moscow as well as some from the Dnieper River. Doing a naval invasion is a bit unorthodox for Soviet Union, since I am trying to keep things more historical, but I can definitely try if my land strategy failed...

My version of Soviet deep battle doctrine. The only difference is that tanks are probably not used in the breakthrough process, but used in the exploitation phase behind enemy lines. So what they do is to continuously feed rifle divisions to a weak portion of German line, until a gap is occurred. Then the T34 would rush in and rampage, causing problems to the operational depths.

Edit: I was suffering red, but I keep bringing fresh troops from reserves to pummel its organisation so that they will retreat.

Germany renewed their offensive and pushing me back once again. I guess I underestimate them too much... No choice, if have to fight all the way back to Moscow. I am for it! Makes for a fun and entertaining campaign.

Interesting. I have more tanks than they do.

Why is everyone complaining about Soviets losing to Germany, IMO Soviets are stronger than Germany. You can literally spawn millions of divisions, since you have industry and manpower to support it. You can easily steamroll over Europe
