Middle and end game rubber

How to avoid rubber shortage as Axis member? As Germany i need like 150 more rubber for my production. Syn Oil give only 2 rubber each, its just a joke. All rubber is in allies hands, i saw some provinces near Siam with 500-800 rubber in each... Seriosly its unfair. Atleast buff synt oil factorys. Tbh i think axis needs a slight increase of strating resources. In my soviet campaing Germany got raped in 1941... This is wrong.

Well no its not. Otherwise it would be easy. Now you can feel how german economy felt back in the days.

your hope is trading things or conquer the rubber rich areas.

Only Singapore has that much rubber. The surrounding regions are much more normal amounts though there is one with 70 and one with 94. Quite simply as Germany you really need Japan to seize those rubber sources so get them on side. But seriously this is what won the Allies the war and, while they may be some balancing tweaks, I think overall the feel is right. Synthetic refining was developed leading up to the war as an augment and stop-gap measure. It should not be able to compete with controlling the world's rubber source during the 30s and 40s.

Did... did you ever pick up a story book? Germany was suffering from oil and rubber shortages like mad. The entire reason why Synthetic refineries are in the game at all are because of German engineering during the war.

Then you'll just have to open up the Pacific Theatre yourself and go conquer those colonies!
