Hoi4: Soviet Union - Not One Step Back Achievement

Anyone know how he gets his war support up so much? I seem to do all the steps he does but mine always gets stuck at 50%

I like how every start of bittersteel ussr run is like: an army on romania and turkey

Does anyone know how to fix the supply issue on the border with Romania, the game is not letting me do the setup like him with railroads and it just defaults to the bottleneck in Stalingrad, making my tanks instantly run out of fuel on the first tile, its so frustrating because I've spent 6 hours just trying to invade romania in a timely manner and it takes me like 8 months to kill them, and at that point I'm completely wiped on infantry equipment and tanks.

I just full throttled Poland and Germany. Ez.

All my tanks got encircled as soon as i landed in turkey, fun game.

Not sure what the point of alp that was, play historical and Invade Poland immediately, before capping Poland justify Germany. Easy win

Where does he show the end game division templates?

Why not just puppet poland and romania both, then declare on the germans, ik its a bit cheesy but they literally cant walk in
All you need to worry about then is japan and it shouldnt be too hard if you park most ot your aemy in the far east, defend your ports with the rest

"...they don't starve." Ooh, this is a fresh approach, almost humanist Stalin! :D

I have one problem that my army my army have no chance against the turkey and the germans why can some one help me

How to get no step back. Build and level up as many forts as you can along the initial Soviet border with other countries and just hold them. Worked for me 👍.

Me who encircled 169 divisions once:

Bro ignored moladova 💀💀💀

Military factories are cheaper to build than Civs, so unless the game literally pays you to convert civs to mils there is no world where it makes sense to use convert as someone like USSR which has infinite building slots

Just a general tip (this applies to all nations), make sure tanks are 8km/h from 1936-1942, then 10km/h afterwards. Also, support your 42w armored divisions with motoroized shock forces or use light mechanized divisions (the starting one is decent, slap on a high velocity cannon with tons of armor and speed so you dont get pierced) to support your armored corps. Also, CAS spam is not that OP (max you can do is 25 for an entire run) and send volunteers to china and help them, or id recommend puppeting Sinkiang, theyre really good when you play lategame and invade Japan. Otherwise, decent guide Bitt3rsteel, w guide other ones were trash.

I just built level 6 bunkers on the whole border

I just get all these nkvd divisions and the other 120 troops are exactly 5 stacks which i just swap to regular inf. Takes 15 seconds

I invited Sinkiang to the Comintern and abt 3weeks after Japan declared on them. So I got abt 30 Join wars requests over a couple of months.

Salad seems pretty cool

You can also do this by turning off historic focuses and waiting for the germans to enter into a war with Czechoslovakia and the entire allies in 1938 then wait till they bleed themselves dry and invade

How you can choose all soldier in the field?

URAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!
FOR THE MOTHERLAND!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hmm, I was hoping to pick up some info on how to play Russia for my current game, which might turn into a disaster save if I mess up my lines. I was trying to flip the USSR to National Socialism, but took too long to win the civil war. Wound up with too much unaligned support for too long and Germany declared on me a few months after declaring on Stalin. I capitulated the USSR, finally, but can't finish the fascism tree or recruit the demagogue until I deal with the Reich. To top it all off, when it became clear I'd be fighting a civil war I started sabotaging Soviet industry to make things easier for me, but now in 1942 I'm dealing with the consequences with a stellar 15 or so civilian factories and 55 mils. Wonder of wonders though, Japan didn't join the Axis and managed to kick communist China's ass, so they signed a non-aggression pact with me, but since the civil war is still active I can't start or join any factions.

Ive found that if you annex transylvania you can actually prevent hungary from ever joining the axis (or significantly delay i dont know) allowing you to do a preemptive invasion and letting you stack two full army groups on the german border (though theres a chance they'll never declare if you're too strong, first time i got this achievement i made it to 1945 without them ever declaring war, even though they had capitulated france and were winning in africa)

I DOWNLOADED SALAD AND I GOT A VIRUS

"Your losses dont matter". ;)

i dont know why but in all of my games romania is guaranteed by france but does not guarantee Turkey, can anyone please help me. I dont know why this is happening

does anyone know why on my playtrough the turks are not being guaranteed by the romanians

another problem of puppeting turkey is that the italians seem to naval invade them and if youre not quick enough the reach stalingrad

How can i stop romania calling france in at the beginning? They always do that and when i kick them off of my territory they call UK and it becomes unplayable

in my game romania doesnt guarantee turkey. any other ways to get romania without war with allies ? (btw no dlcs)

The way I did that achievement was by declaring war on Poland and then Germany as soon as possible (1936/37) and just rush them by having a number advantage and for the rest of the game sit AFK. Got some other achievements like Just Proper Gander and One Step Forward as well as the other AFK achievements like Trade Tycoon, Time is on our side, Master of war and such during the time I did absolutely nothing thanks to no one attacking me or anything

1986 my computer is dying xD i hava over 2000 division well Americans and Sowjets have way more xD the game will crash if i start the WW2 at 1986 xDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD

I approve this

💀Og mustage man💀

i sit here... with a laptop

Aluminium

Not sure how, but I tried this and initially had all green bubbles until they broke one unit through in the north. Then everything broke down from there. Bunch of huge encirclements and decimated me

Tried this in 2023 Invaded Romania and the French and UK took Stalingrad within a week and overpowered the whole country in months Guess I am not very good at this game 😂 Why do the allies not attack in this video?

"jack these guys up" that's kinda Sus bittersteal I feel like he is gay 🤨🤨🤨🤨🤨🤨🤨

bro how you destroy turkey so quickly? i'm a new player and it took me till autumn 1938 :(

In Spain if you have spam planes at the start of the game, put the tank division on high priority, and focus on producing tanks trucks and infantry equipment, you can send 3 air volunteer squadrons and 6 tank division to Spain. Get Zhukov and any good field marshal you have and focus on encircling Sevilla or just the Southern front general, focus on railroads and supply hubs. Your tanks are OP in Spain and can make encirclements work. Eventually if you have good micro you can win the war in Spain and gain Spain as a puppet

Yeah i did the entire run but Germany didn't want to declare on me for 2 entire years,i built 2 carriers on Crimea and 4 battleships plus a bunch of screens and destroyed the german surface fleet and submarines when i declared war in 1943,i waited until late 1945 to push and destroyed them on the northern front,i got the We Don't Really like Statistics with more than 1 million casualties,weird,now i have to kill japan.

This game sucks
