How big of a potential do China and India have?

[Caesar15]

Well I was meaning in the constrained time scale that is Hearts of Iron IV (10 years), and you conveniently cut out what I said about "China and India realistically could have large albeit crude, inefficient, unsafe, and low quality industries", which are all characteristics of industries that cannot survive on the long run, but can survive long enough to help with, say, a world war.

Keep in mind hoi4 ends in 1948, so it's a 12 year timeframe.

Oh really. DIdn't know that.

Well, it would be interesting game-play wise to see military-industrially powerful China and India start to quickly exhaust itself half-way through the war after good gains.

in game terms it really just depends how fast you can

Build IC
Improve your research speed
Improve your resource production.

This will tell the potential of china and india.

Manpower they have more manpower they can actually use. two countrys that can win with very basic units as long they have enough units to keep sending them .

Well at the very best they can form a large fully equipped infantry army, I can't see any tanks or large air force though.
