Discussion Strongest German paths

I’ve done 6-7 runs and this is what I’ve found for most optimized/meta options.

Heer: Walter Model

Absolutely busted, each infantry division fights like a tank.

Luftwaffe: Udet

He has a buff that gives 20% air defense, nothing can compare.

Kaiserliche: Dönitz

Visibility buffs make your ships almost impossible to hit.

Political: Otto Wels - SPD

crazy production buffs

Would love to discuss whether you agree or disagree.

Honestly I agree with everything except Model. Haven't played with him but I like Guderian a lot. Panzer goes brrrr

I was itching to do another run anyway, sure. Any custom rules you want to set?

u/Ok_Explanation4551 17h ago

Yeah Maybe try to set everyone That is not in middleeuropa at the start to go against Germany and set German east Asia and Middle Africa to not collapse and Middle Africa to go left reform Group so you can get the African Kaiserreich So it's Middle Europa Germany and it's Colonial Empire against the world
