Hello guys Newbie here
Sorry if this has been asked before but anyways

As a Newbie in such a game I am playing as Switzerland(hoping that nothing invades me lol)
And I just wanna watch everything happening around me in WW2

But for safe measures I am researching 60s tech

Question:
How do i remove the researching ahead of time penalty in this game?

Again sorry for asking if this was asked before

Actually a game without war is not much fun, sent a man to mars in 1958 as germany, started researching in 1919 with grand campaign... I'm gonna test all that future weaponry now before triggering "hoiception"

WRONG. With CWTT i am currently techrushing to 1992 armor and 1995 fighters. all others are in the 50s, all i can say is:

IT PUTS THEM TO SHREDS

And i'm sure that as Switzerland, you will crush the German Reich and become the new world superpower, you know, with all those fighters your building, with all that IC that Switzerland has....

Let me put it this way:
Without research penalty you might have 70s fighers and 70s tanks by then. plus mountain terrain. Put fighters on scramble and tanks will be dug in. IF they attack you they take massive casualties and you will bind a lot of troops the soviets wont face. So once the backbone of the wehrmacht is broken, you can break out the alps.
If you research infantry you will get better militias due to the "landwehr" event, which will make a huge difference. 83 militia has the same softattack value as 42 inf.

92arm with 92 arm brigade has 64/60 hardattack softattack with 20% softness. nothing to mess with.
My personal favorite is 89aircav with special forces brigade though.

Manpower? And by the time that all of this would be ready, what if they have nukes? Also, even without the research penalty, you wouldn't have the tech slots to research all of this simultaneously. And by the time this is all ready they would have such a large army, that even if you did achieve a breakthrough after depleting their forces and were able to encircle/destroy a large amount of divisions, it wouldn't take long before your forces became over extended and succumbed to the imminent horde of reinforcements.

However, with all that having been said, I suppose it would be interesting to see the outcome/how long you can hold out.
