Resistance casualties totally insane

[CraniumMuppet]

A pretty ok strategy is going AC, (just set around 5 mils after getting the basic production going, increase as needed but before you need it, not after or you will get a shortfall). Hardness reduces losses and I think that ACs have more hardness than light tanks

In high resistance areas you might wanna do local police force, let compliance build up then switch to civilian as needed. Get the advisor which reduces garrison damage if needed.

Late game where you are at you should have enough xp to slap on a big template and a mp support unit. Losses should be much more managable. I dont get close to those numbers unless I go full brutal oppression horsie bois.

Tanks are probably not the best in the long term for suppression.

No, they aren't in most cases. The cost for the hardness they provide (LARM) is not that great. And non-LARM have poor suppression values.

In some cases, if you have LARM you simply can't use, you can add it to the garrison template on the assumption that you might as well expend that ordnance.

Yeah, as long as you have tanks over you might as well chuck them in there. Just keep an eye for when they run out.

Fun fact; super heavy tanks are good at suppression but impossible to produce enough of. That hardness tho

What poor suppression values are you talking about? Medium SPAA has 2 suppression per battalion just like cav and AC...

A light tank 1 costs 8 ic and 2 steel. A 34 AC cposts 4 and 2 steel(I think). Thats just for the first light tank

I was joking about the super heavy

'39 medium SPAA are cheaper per-battalion than armored cars. If tungsten is an issue, '34 light SPAA are also much cheaper than armored cars while using the same resources.

Thats fair enough, although it has less suppression and you need more steel and potentially tungsten, and slightly less hardness on light I think? As Germany that shouldnt be a major hurdle tho. I gotta try it ^^

But whatever works, its fun to see people experimenting

So basically you're saying that buying the DLC is a requirement and the only solution to get casualties to a realistic number is with armored cars :\
What if we don't buy the DLC? The manpower lost to resistance is absolutely insane.

Try what Reman said, SPAA. Also if u have the advisor to reduce garrison losses, pick it

 

[CraniumMuppet]

Umm, the OP did note he does not have the DLC, just the patch, so he is not using ACs and is using LA.

I wrote it as a general strategy for everyone who might read it. Otherwise use light tanks if you wanna get some hardness. The other tips still applies.

Additions

Prince of Terror came after the Fall of France to reduce losses.

My garrison template was 10 LSPAA and 15 CAV+MP.

I have no shortages of LSPAA so Garrisonstroops were everytime well equipt.

The casualties dont came from soviet resistance. In the last six month when i overun SU i take the lowest losses.

The numbers are direct after capitulation.
After this i get 2 million Manpower from the Russian Empire which is my puppet.
They guard now.




I am open to suggestions to get only a fraction of the losses.

Maybe remove the horsie bois to increase hardness if you have the equipment for it? There is no real need for horses if you have a better alternative and it reduces your hardness and drives up casualties
