What I did differently that might have helped: -Full Collabs on France and Poland -Actual Collab Gov in France -Reichskommisariat in Hol and Bel -100mills on High Quality Fighter (allows to care less for AA that you focused on a lot this game) -50mills on Cheap CAS (Low Air Defense doesnt increase losses from AA in my tests) -All CAS and Tanks in one air zone at a time to push for Supply Hubs. -saved IC in early game by just building naked infantry and minmaxing soft attack for Tanks. -Using Spies to get rid of entrenchment and planning bonus -Also saw you overstacking tanks, attacking with tanks even though combat width only allows 3 to enter the fight. Meaning 5 Tanks just uselessly eating supply. didn’t do it this time but: -I like to grind Volunteers to Veterans and then change the Template to Tanks. So you have 7 Veteran Tanks ready in 1939. Maybe even more if you also grind more divs in China.
Have you ever tried overhaul mods like World Ablaze or Black Ice? World Ablaze gets praised for its clever way of simulating the 'hunger' and 'tempo' in Germany's expansions during the war.
Tried this plus Expert AI on "impossible" Resultet in Belgium actually holding long enough for France to reinforce. Which made my France Campaign last significantly longer. Also should have used the light Tank Garrison for sure. Lost 500k men a year on my garrisons. Also took me 3years and 16mio killed Soviets to finally win in the east.

So, this may be your Kobyashi Maru… Some things are meant to be unattainable. :)
