here my approach on playing as Germany in WIF.
1. Combat
- don't go too deep with your lonely Panzer divisions/mot/whatever, unless you are really sure that your enemy lines are already shattered..... you risk being cut off and have to rely on air supply... and eventual death.
- do pincer movements to encircle enemy divisions, you need to left some Arm and Mot to guard your pocket. encirclement isn't that easy now.
- send out your bombers, they make much difference...
- secure air superiority before using your fragile CAS planes. try to have 20 int/ftr to secure the sky.
- when you are not able to advance, don't use your divisions on suicide attacks, this just gives your enemy a chance to counterattack.
- paratroopers... they could help you doing some encirclements.
- use your fleet to do shorebombardments
2. Planning
- i also use 2 runs of factory.
- start a few intercept fighters serials when you researched interceptors. you need a lot of them to secure the sky. Or just get prepared to be crushed by enemy bombers. The AI in this mod is very good at intercepting your bombers too.
- a way to have total air superiority over England is to have about 40 interceptors hanging around there day and night, one month should be able to wipe out 80% of their planes.
- build some mountain divisions, i have about 12 in the start of barbarossa, of course again i do serials to cut the cost.
- build serial of subs... with a enddate which you think you don't need them anymore...
- i don't suggest you to invest in those supersubs, they are more or less a combination of 3 subs.
- put some of your divisions in north norway bordering finland, aiding finland is very useful in distracting soviet divisions.
- i use H arm/SP art with my tanks and Engineer with my mountaineers, artillery with my paratroopers, and usually don't have brigades to inf (or with AA brigade)
- don't be too hurry to finish up pockets unless you are in a hurry.assaulting a surrounded Moscow could let you have crazy losses.
- i don't use the prince of terror minister , i use the +10% foreign manpower one, that way you should have almost no manpower problem.
- so, now you should consider doing some research on hospital techs?
- don't be hesitate to do ahead of time research , your tech teams can afford to do a research 1.1 years before the historical year.
- infantry is your bulk of army... don't neglect them.
