SOVIET UNION Is STILL OP In Arms Against Tyranny

It strikes me as really weird that the war kicked off over the independence of Poland, and the war ended with Poland controlled by the soviets.

14:00 a good tip: 175-140=35. you can do 2 70 day focuses and then do a 35 day focus, wait a single day and then pick whatever next purge focus you want without losing any focus tree time. also if you're always clicking and timing your focuses you can go through the entire paranoia mechanic with one or two forged reports without having a single rng event

Just a heads up. Im not a fan of the Soviet Union focus tree. So just a WARNING I have a bit of a moan in this video. Sorry in advance. I'm human To clear up any confusion I don't min-max 100% in these videos. I try to find a balance between my own fun and making the most of the game mechanics. ALSO I choose to play 'kinda' historical because I enjoy that more.

Marshall Yegorov, Bljucher, Tuchacevskij always get purged by the Military Conspiracy focus. In addition some generals randomically get a -2 into attack and defense always 'cause of that focus

Feedback is so optimistic about his viewers having lives.......

Cannot get over all this content Dave is giving us, his fans. PRAISE DAVE

I love the longer videos man.thanks for making these .I always sit thru these long videos at night b4 bed. Great work

never seen your videos before, but really appreciate your love for community, either in some words or while revealing some tricks of the game. subbed, hope you're doing well

I love these videos Dave! They remind me of the old school let’s plays of hoi4 I use to watch when I was younger lol

Thank you!! Great stuff!! Been a fan of you ever click series for a long while. 10/10

Late for the commentary but i still say i like this long semi unedited playthrough and judging from the view everyone else too. So yeah keep it coming. This is great.

This is really good content. I actually enjoy folks just playing the game without any major objective but just having fun. I especially like the fact that you went into operation unthinkable. most folks just end at WW2 and I actually really enjoy the End Game stuff especially if its really challenging.

I was a bit sad that Dave was not posting on his main channel. And they we get 3 x full playthroughs. ABSOLUTE MADMAN <3

The paranoia system and the purges are only a problem if you are playing the Stalin path of the focus tree, the historical one. If you go for any of the ahistorical paths, it's actually a good thing because it increases the support of whatever military branch Stalin is messing with.

I play USSR a lot. I just finished a WW2 into cold war, into WW3 game as them and it was a blast. They have a lot of cold war civics and buttons to bring neutral states into your iron umbrella. Managing multiple theaters and thousands of jet planes with that late game tech you never touch is actually fun. Also I never rush the purges at first. I stick to the 2% for awhile while i try to get a research slot and hit the Spain and China civics before proceeding. I think its better overall for Barb prep but its whatever.

Learned a lot from the videos. So refreshing for somebody to just say, "use the timestamps". Honesty is key.

Also the timings for when you can do the different purges lines up with your focuses pretty neatly, IIRC (it's 175 days so two 70-day focuses +1 35 day one)
