  • Do you NEED research & focuses in Hearts of Iron 4? Let's find out, with maybe the only possible country to do this with - the Soviet Union!
    To support map nerds: / aldrahill or ruclips.net/user/Aldrahilljoin
    I love HOI4, but it really struggles to portray things properly sometimes, like for example, the Soviet Unino. Is it really that strong? Maybe it won't be so strong if we take away its ability to pick any national focuses or research :P What do you think, can I beat Germany and survive?

      @Aldrahill BTW once I tried same challenge but with less harsh conditions - I allowed myself to do research, and only "useless" foreing policy focuses/that one from 5 year plan which increases consumer goods, and used template of infantry only- so needed only guns for it)
      And I picked all worst decisions in purges - so had only trash generals, and lacked them too and with all the worst debuffs.
      And all my "tactic" was to autoplan so German bullets ended earlier then mine soldiers
