AIRFORCE,RADAR,AA is very important as soviets will bomb your infrastructure and industry. make sure you use your best field marshal and keep plan on careful plan until soviets run out of supplys then aggressive charge them to push em back.
you will lose YOU WILL NEED ALL MEN on the front took me about 360 divisions in the east to beat the soviet union on veteran Its best to strike soviet when there unity is low.Īnd its best to strike after you take FRANCE do night fight a 2 front war like hitler did. DONT listen to people saying invade during the purge you will still get owned. If your having a real hard time just paratroop behind them and cut off their forces. I once cut off 120 divisons in one small state and then they lost most of their frontline which was around 3 million deaths. When you finnally go to war with soviets make sure you try to do surround and cut off tactics. Dont cripple your eco and spam heavy tanks it aint needed trust me light tank and medium do everything better sadly Make sure your artilliary is up to date also and Tanks.
Make sure you do molotrov ribben pact so it gives you time to focus on the allies an prepare your defenses.
dont forget recon company) make sure your airforce has decent numbers and is up to date, a good way to bleed the soviets is set up forts along the polish and russian border.
