"Funny" thing is that USSR at the end of war actually had manpower issues, IIRC some units were starting to get demobilized in 1944 so that there would be people actually working on fields back at home - and that was with "just" 27 million dead, of whom most were civilians (thus women, children, elderly for a good part, not conscriptable men). Something about divisions taking Berlin having like 40-60% of their required headcount fulfilled. Well, it just shows that HoI series has some ways to go.
Yeah, military casualties (dead, wounded, missing etc) were around 23 million, yet people get their information from movies and propaganda and think they had unlimited manpower and won using human waves lol
10 width rifle divisions with basic rifle equipment (Type 88) is literally all I have when playing as China. And then a few elite divisions with 1 line artillery battalion (usually 6 to 10). And the starter 12 widths sometimes get bolstered to 14 or 16 width.
What was the divisional stat debuff from the line generals being over capacity (30 divisions when they can only handle 24) and the army group general controlling 7 armies instead of 5? That probably made things a lot harder for the USSR than they should have been both for the defense and the counterattack.

What are your thoughts on building infrastructure before building any factories? Is the time saved building on 100% infrastructure eventually better than just starting on whatever infrastructure is there? Can you do a video on this?
Industry is just as important as the Stalin tree (Stalin tree if going historical), ignoring either will result in your country getting fucked Edit: ok I see what you mean, speed running through the purge so you can solely focus on army improvements and industry is usually what you wanna get through, but I guess he’s just having a good ol’ meme game
I once played as anarchist Spain until the 1970s and cored 1B manpower. I’d love to see somebody attempt to take down that kind of super Spain, even in the most unfair way, just to see if it can be done.
I did this rushing infantry equipment and it worked way too well. 400 divisions on the border and they never took back Eastern Poland. Beginning to wonder what even is the point of tanks in this game
hey FeedBackGaming, I have a challenge for you, play as Austria on elite mode, refuse the anschluss and conquer Germany, take back the Austro-Hungarian Empire, and do a world conquest. can you do it?
@@FeedbackGaming how about this, forget about the world conquest thing and elite mode, would it be possible to turn fascist as Austria, join the axis so Germany doesn't just kill you, build up over time until you are eventually ready to attack Germany. could you do that? I think it would so cool if you did, I have yet to do see someone try it, and I know I wouldn't be able to do it myself. I just know if anyone might be able to pull it off, it's you. it's fine if you really don't want to do it, I just think it would be a really cool challenge. Anyways, love the channel, keep up the great work.
It's funny because just today I finished kinda the same campaign - NKVD-cossac -penal divisions ussr with worst Stalin picks in focuses - and I managed to only make it to 5.5 man casualties (batteleplan helped a lot)
There is wone thing that i dont understand in HIO4. Yesterday i played as Poland with Historical Focus and Ironman on and in the and i won against the Commentern and the Axis. BUT you finished the Game in 1949 with 5.86M losses at the German side and the had zero manpower left. I finished the game 1947 with 11.46 Losses on German side and they had an other 2.4 mio manpower left....How is this possible? Can someone explain me how the AI get so many man?
The factory is making those horse costumes, with one man as the head and one man in the rear. So technically it takes two manpower to manufacture one horse.
@@Jakaj99 Soviet casualties and German casualties, they were somewhat accurate when it started but by the end it was wildly more for the soviets and too little for the Germans/Axis

The ai really needs an update in what divisions and templates it uses. Even just apart from how well the ai’s micro play is, that’s not what I’m talking about. If you ever look at the tank templates and divisions the ai uses, they’re god awful, and make the game just stupid. I shouldn’t be prioritizing attacking the armored parts of a frontline, I should be avoiding them
This would be a great place to test how good field hospitals are.

Good luck producing all the support equipment and trucks for that many divisions lol
Honestly I wouldnt argue against you for using field hospitals. Just to scrap that manpower back and experience in the units
Yeah given he isn't using his industry for anything else he may as well though even a small amount of AA would have been so useful
this is for achievment
AA , engineers, maintainence and field hospitals would do it.
@@fatihbaskin2000 Yeah that would have been a nasty frontline to attack, i was gonna say maybe some AT but the AA gives you some piercing anyway

ISP did it and you just die from lack of supply cause you have waaaaaay too many divisions.

I'd love to see another run of this using China :p
Commie China, specifically.
49 Million dead Russians? Stalin would be so proud of you! o7
Im pretty sure the Soviet Union would had gotten like 1 million more since it still was mobilizing

That's casualties not just dead but also wounded missing and captured
This is how Germans described the eastern front to cope with their humiliating defeat lol
What if bitter3steel tried this but in multiplayer but he can use support companies in these 10 widths

First lmao,
Which is why you should get a FeedBackGaming membership so you can see videos early too!
LAD
You literally had 10:1 kill ratio💀
It was still mobilizing quite a lot of manpower, so it's not actually even 0 manpower
Damn man. Damn. Give a guy a field hospital at least mah goodness
Should also max out forts and AA defense. Just make the Germans suffer every time they take a step towards you.
40W with field hospital (that would be historical). Do it!
