Questions fighting against the Soviet Union

[unmerged(42723)]

I'm not searching for advice how to beat them. I play usually on "normal" and think it's too easy to defeat them as Germany (how's is it on harder settings?)

I think after the initial breaktroughs and encirclements, once you have them on the run it seems hardly possible for them to defend our even counterattack effectively. I read their GDE is lower early in the war, and improves only later....are there other events that support them, like for example that they get free troops or IC when certain provinces are lost?

Let's say you reach the provinces near Moscow, there could be a "fresh troops from Siberia arrive to defend the capital" or so event. Or something that simulates how they moved industrial equipment eastwards to safer places for production (could give free IC).

Has anyone modded something like that? Of course as said I have no idea if that would be usefull for higher difficuly settings....

If you want things to be more difficult, do not encircle and surround them. Instead of simply pushing them backward. You will face real challenge later on.

I think CORE has something like that, or try Stony Road, though IIRC they haven't got the newest patch ready yet.

I'm playing as the Soviets now on Hard/Furious, and I've been pushed all the way back to Moscow (Dec, '41). I've had quasi-Siberia "events," because with my decreasing fortures panic set in and I started Strategically Re-Deploying my entire Far Eastern Army to Russia proper. In fact, I have only two units in the Far East now, and that's including puppets! I'm just asking for Japan to attack.

i thought that when the ai controlled russia they started with normal GDE. I thought low starting GDE was for players only to stop premature aggressivness

Almost true... an AI-controlled Russia jumps to 80% GDE (same as everyone else) as soon as they are at war.

Thx, will have a look into those mods
