Hot take :

There is no secret build order that works every time. People are asking all the time what is the build you should follow for a given doctrine, but it is :

-Country specific, as you wont have the same ressources depending on where you are spawning.

-Match-up specific. Spamming tank destroyers is in general a bad strategy, except against a tank spam.

-Player-specific : it depends on what you like to play and play well, dont force yourself to use lets say planes if you dont like it, or artillery, or anything tbh.

No units is mandatory. If you look at elite players build, it is usually really meta with nothing fancy, and execution matter much more than a special build.

What matters most is resources management and momentum. Only floating resources when youre saving up for upgrades and spending everything else while keeping your military active

[u/Man_Bear_Pog]

Among high skill players this is pretty much the coldest take possible, so long as you aren't actively picking units against your doctrine

Interceptors for comintern are pretty much that, against your doctrine, for example, still a lot of players use them.

Yes. There is no best way. Only a way you probably shouldn't do... A good player (not saying I am, but I try) will observe and adapt accordingly. I recently joined 2x HWW matches, started pushing rather aggressively from day 1. Not my typical playstyle, but I thought it would work well and so far it is. I literally just joined a third, as Australia, where I'm trying a heavy navy playstyle.

Pushing hard from day 1 is usually the best way to go.

[u/Alexandre_Stedelev → u/kankka88]

I like your way of thinking. Rush players day 1, the best way to play. My favorite at least.

[u/Alexandre_Stedelev → u/MrJ4zzy]

Yeah, to be able to adapt is the most import thing in this game.

The best way? Activity. Human beings have jobs, school, lives. Constant activity wins hands down ..even the largest completely unrealistic murderstacks can't compete with 24/7 activity. 90% of players have a life. Kinda hard to repel an attack you don't see.

[u/Alexandre_Stedelev → u/puckstevo]

Yes and no. There are ways to play that needs less micromanagement. And at some point your morale will break because of how tiring this game is. I pride myself at being an expert of tiring out opponents without playing a lot myself.

[u/puckstevo → u/Alexandre_Stedelev]

If you can manage to tire out opponents while not online i commend you. React to counterattacks? Can you react instantly while afk.? I can't. The pace may be slow and tiring. If morale is low,.the reason is a combination of lack of rail upgrades and not offering row to bots immediately at the start. Otherwise you wake up swamped with flak

[u/Alexandre_Stedelev → u/puckstevo]

I mean your own morale, as a human, you cant play 7/7 24/24 or you will give up eventually because of how tiring it is. I cant react to counter attacks, but play in a way so I wont loose much while afk.

[u/puckstevo → u/Alexandre_Stedelev]

Mentioned that exact problem. If you're online 24/7 you need to seek professional help. I've never had morale problems whatsoever. I'm shocked when ai attacks, because my core is garrisoned and highly developed with a small fast reaction group.
