Anyone know how to beat the Soviet Union as Germany?

[Kerberos]

Like some sort of strategy

[Mad_Mic]

rush medium tanks, division setup 5 medium tanks + 5 motorized/mechanized + support, build a tank army of 24 divisions, build 100 infantery divisions, use the tank army to attack on a small front. let the infantry army secure all the front line to russia only on defence not attacking, push with the tank army behind rivers so your infantry has easy life defending = gg

use your air on west front no need in the east

do not build civil factories, do not build dockyards, massive synthetic + military factories

done it in normal and hardcore

Just smash their two-face pseudo-fascist face in and put them in their place. Simple.

I feel like it should be a bit more brutal in beating the USSR. As germany i should feel exhausted but i dont. If they make USSR harder then I could have an actual choice in either 1) Allying with USSR and dealing with UK or 2) Annexing USSR but suffer manpower shortages against UK. Currently I can do 2) without any issues so it makes that one focus sort of pointless.

A lot of people like going with the meat grinder. My solution has been to strategically bomb the ♥♥♥♥ out of them, to the point they run out of tanks. Then... What enemy divisions?

Couldn't get them to surrender after pushing them back to mongolia but by that time the US messed up japan in china so i had a huge front from iran to siberia, still just pushed with the med tanks and motorized with suppport and there was no issue, very easy. no eastern air support at all.

I also rush medium tanks, but when I invaded I had <20 tank divisions and <100 infantry divisions. My situation was a little odd though....

I brought Finland into the Axis via "Boost Party Popularity". When the Soviets went to war with Finland, I ignored their Calls for assistance....but the lesser Axis powers didn't. So in mid-1940 a massive Soviet army invaded Hungary and Romania....and left ZERO divisions on the Soviet-German border. I was worried about my satellites being overrun, and saw a great opportunity to cut off a ~100 divisions AND drive straight to Moscow. I also had Turkey and Japan (who I usually keep OUT of the Axis, to avoid war with the US, but they had conquered almost all of China) with me, so I knew the Soviets would be fighting on more fronts than they could handle. So I joined the war in October 1940 (yes, I found myself attacking Russia in the winter), focusing on a strong "right hook" towards Odessa. It largely worked. I cut off enough troops in the South (including 2 pockets with ~70 divisions) that the rest of the front was rather thin. Plussing up my line with dozens of Expeditionary Forces, I turned north with my Panzers and hit Moscow, then Leningrad. By that point the Soviets couldn't even keep a division in every border province, so driving to Stalingrad was also easy (BTW, I had the Turks in the Axis too so the Soviets had a bunch of divisions tied up fighting in the Caucasus).

I beat the USSR as hungary, so it should be no problem as Germany. Just rush medium tanks, and throw in some anti-tank guns on your infantry for good measure.
