No wonder I am getting my arse kicked.

I am playing a game as the USSR- Very Hard. This will be my last game before HOI3 comes out so I wanted to make it as challenging as possible. Japan went crazy early so I really boosted them up to see how they would do.

Apparently somewhere in my modding I did something wrong; they have 2 active Land Doctrines. They have fully researched Infiltration Assault and have started on Human Wave.

I could not figure out how they were so bad-assed; they would be a tough opponent in any situation but these guys are beyond bad-assed. Even though I wanted a challenge, I really don't think I can beat these guys, at leat not before 1964; my intelligence says they have over 700 divisions, I have 430. o

If they can get both trees so can you.

Wait, if I'm not mistaken, you've also given them Attritional Containment and Superior Firepower. I'm honestly reminded of Red Alert 3, since I see the USA (and UK) is still alive. You should take RA3's example and forge a temporary alliance with the USA and pray.

It's your punishment for not double-checking your modding, I suppose.

Wait, how did the USA land on Sulawesi? Don't tell me you screwed up and gave them extra doctrines too. :rofl:

 

[guardian21]

Seems quite a real boost to me

Well, unless you have given them ultimate manpower and or industry, you could try take them like the Germans: Give space for time, and due to the low infastracture, perhaps you could be ready after some months/ years. And don't forget: It is a month before hoi3 comes out, so enjoy your challenge

Nope, I can't, at least without more modding.

I didn't notice that, I saw a second land doctrine and didn't look any further; no wonder they have 136 Org and go from 0 to full in what seems like a week.

I have been at war with the Allies for quite a while now.

You are definitely right there. o

Sulwesi? Where is that? I am pretty sure I haven't done anything to the USA.

They own all of that land as National provinces, and I moved their capital to Shanghai, so they get all of China's manpower, I also gave them at least 100 off map IC.

I have been focusing on reducing the pocket in the Middle East and while I have gained a little territory and eliminated ~40 divisions I can't make any real headway unless I have at least an 8:1 advantage.

I suppose they didn't teach Indonesian geography back in the day?

Lower right in your screenshot, Americans have landed in Indonesia unless they were already there. The Japanese AI must've been asleep at the watch, because I can't see the AI beating another AI which has 2 and 2/3rds of the doctrines anywhere.

And I should've noticed before making that post that Sakhalin is in American hands. You should acceptall peace with them in any case.

Awesome :rofl:

 

[Aethis]

3 Land doctrines

 

[safferli]

3 Land doctrines

Four: Sup. Firepower, Infiltration Assault, Attritional Containment and Human Wave

Release the Aliens!!

Aye.

Watch the carnage. It'll be just like one of those super sentai shows, except cooler because everybody have tanks.

 

[midget_roxx]

How much manpower did you give the Japs?

 

[son of liberty]

They have china's manpower. That is all they need.

I thought that is what you meant, but that wasn't the province's name so I got confused. I edited the save file to transfer most of those troop back to Los Angeles shortly after those screenshots were taken. I may do that if I decide to continue the game but I don't think it will help a whole lot.

Release the Aliens!!

Aye.

You are brilliant. :rofl:

You forgot about the nofog too.

son of liberty is correct; they currently have 4038 manpower and gain 3 per day.

And ofc, with all those doctorines researched, the avarage Japanese soldier is now more or less equivalent to your run-of-the-mill tokusatsu show hero. The aliens would be powned hard.

The situation really calls for some Ichiro Mizuki as BGM.

I just loaded the game as Japan; their max org for regular inf. is 160, their morale is 275% and they regain 10-12 org per day.:rofl:

 

[unmerged(129995)]

Hey genius...they have FOUR doctrines. Superior Firepower, Infiltration Assault, Attritional Containment, and Human Wave. Bad, bad mix. Superior Firepower's maxed-out ORG, Infiltration Assault's maxed-out night attack, and Human Wave's morale. At least you didn't give them Spearhead instead of Superior Firepower...

Yeah...alienattack Shanghai and watch the fireworks. Alternately, go nuclear.

 

[unmerged(140355)]

Aliens wont do anything they have no leaders and all of their units will have 1% attack efficiency.

Try to focus heavily on airforce nuclear weapons and rockets.

This way you can try to destroy infrastructure and bomb moving forces or possibly use nukes/missiles to reduce their IC to 0.

Thanks genius...SeedSnatcher pointed that out 17 hours ago; and I didn't give them anything I made a mistake when modding.

Thanks for the input though.

that is sick, two tech doctrines
