Germany loves cars. But what if they had to use ONLY CARS to fight their wars?

The best way to start is to do Rhineland. Use the PP for whichever advisor you want (Borman is the usual choice for more PP), but the gem is the 5 army XP. Create a new division with a single infantry. Convert the army except the 4 you want to send to Spain, to free up guns. Then spam a bunch of these, and deploy ASAP, allowing you to send 4 volunteers. Then change all of them to motorized (your biggest starting unit). Then you can do Anchlus on third focus, and if you did it right then Sudetan after that. Make the Slovak puppet, as it will give you compliance in Bohemia/Moravia. This plus standard economy build up will make your economy super strong.

My current meta is having a line of infantry divisions on the front line pushing slowly, and tons of motorised pushing very aggressively looking for a gap anywhere. Once there’s a gap you can encircle them all over the place and destroy them. Works against anyone really. I make the motorised 40-42W with their own flame tanks and motorised artillery (or rocket infantry if I get that far). I make sure to keep the speed at 12+

Hi Bitt3r, I do something similar. I make a 10 width modern light tank division. and scatter a few of those into my army. With German perks, I can get the speed up to 20. (5 times faster than the infantry units) Other units punch the holes in the line and these units just race through and take everything behind the lines. The light tank focus is a lot cheaper on my industry too.

@andrasbeke3012 Жыл бұрын
