Quick questions, does the artillery specialist/expert/genius affect support artillery or only line artillery?

Does the artillery high command also affect SPGs or are SPGs only affected by the armour genius like Tank Destroyers?
 
I've had 3 games in a row as the soviets where Trotsky is sent to me by Norway. Is this WAD? I thought it should only be on a-historical AI. Can I prevent this from happening somehow? I want the historical path.
 
Any ideas where my medals might be gone? I've got only one option, and while I haven't played for some time and was never quite a fan of medals to begin with, I do remember there used to be some 4 of them, each boosting different stats. Is it another bug emerging with GOT/1.15?

You're playing as Denmark, right? Pretty sure they have always only had one choice for medals. The title changes depending on if you're communist or not but it's always +10% org and +5% defence.

It was like this shortly after AAT when I played Denmark. Other countries usually get four, a couple get even more.

Can somebody explain very quickly what is the point of SPAA-powered space marines? Why this option is so popular, especially as opposed to SPG or normal tank variants?
The armour is effective against ground attacks, the AA is effective against CAS.
Space marines care more about defence than attack so Piercing or Hard Attack are less important. (and good SPAA can pierce bad AI designed tanks)

Is it normal for ai Nationalist China to outlaw democracy? I was using spies as the US to boost democracy in China and discovered that suddenly the democratic faction was gone. I observed China in another game and the same thing happened. They get the buff for democracy support but end up with no democratic party suddenly.
 
Can I get access to the airbases Finland occupies in the continuation war as Germany? Currently playing as historical and Finland does get a lot of occupation by me automatically due to their claims. When more land is occupied from this already occupied territory, it goes to Finland as well. This is WAD I guess, but as I cannot access Finland's air bases as they aren't part of my faction, I cannot reach a lot of Russia with my planes. Is there a work around? I cannot ask Finland for the zones.

Putting them in your faction is the only sensible way.

Are the infiltration mission Communist China can perform genuinely worthless, or am I misunderstanding something? Whenever i try to infiltrate a province controlled by Japan or Nationalist China I get an event very soon after about how the infiltration has been eradicated. I cannot get a single province to keep its infiltration for more than a month it seems. Seems like nothing but a PP sink at the moment.

They are worthless, the root out communist cell decision for China/Japan is too cheap, prioritized by the AI, and is wildly more cost effective than your event to set one up.

Goto strategies for Commie China include joining Japan against China and being able to take most of the land in the peace deal as its your core territory, despite relatively low war support, or taking out local warlords first and then building up for a late war once Japan is busy with the Allies.

I remember they was one time succesfull at me. And i get as Manchukuo a communist republik of Manchukuo in Shanghai. With plus communist popularity at my own gouverment to. And this is a big problem. Then Manchukuo has no idiology advisor. Most of the time I'm just annoyed by the messages. And I don't know if it's enough if Japan cleans up or if I have to do that too.

Yeah, figured. I opted to fabricate claim and declare first on Xibei San Ma, then Sinkiang after that. When mainland China war secured, before the war ended, I did the focuses that makes you leave your faction so I could declare on Yunnan and Guangxi as well. The war wasn't that hard tbh, just long.

There is a guy the Japanese have and he's described as a terror in the game. When I hired him that was the end of any successful Chinese activities. I stopped having to use anything else to stop them, saved a bunch of command points or whatever they are called. Very useful to hire him, then I could move on the Soviets which got me some land but Adolf got most of it :D I just started playing a couple of weeks ago and it was my first time getting land from a war.
 
Which templates do you use as Japan for pushing? Do you switch doctrines for the Chinese campaign or do you stuck with GBP? Do you even bother with tanks given Japan's limited mils? Which Inf builds do you guys use for GBP more generally? (Cas seems obvious).
