The Bloodiest War EVER! 100+ Million Losses

[CommissarBRO]

So I'm in the greatest game of HOI 4 I've yet experienced with over 150 hours of play time (between 2 accounts). In this I'm playing as the PRC and I joined the Soviet Union to assist me in my fight against the Axis powers. Well, by about 1942, the Axis powers were defeated. Japan still resisted in Hokkaido but was otherwise occupied. Seems Churchill thought this was the perfect time to contain the Red Menace in the east and declared war on Iran (had turned it into a Communist State). This drug the rest of the Comintern into what would be the bloodiest, longest war I've ever played in a video game. Currently, it's 1961, and just the Comintern alone has lost over 60 million men. The Allied Powers are literally "Scrapping the Barrel" to find troops to keep the fight going, with the UK having instated the policy 10 years prior.
I'm probably going to do a whole AAR for this particular game if anyone is interested in reading it when I'm done. I've actually already made 2 videos about it because it's just been such a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ blast to play but I haven't made the most recent one showing the over 100 million losses in total.
But anyone, if you wanted to see this ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ mess, here is a link to the first video:

Be warned, I get a little ♥♥♥♥♥♥ about some odd choices with the AI. Just ignore that. Also, I would like for people to tell me some stories about their bloodiest wars as well. Is this experience relatively common amongst you guys?

How in the world did you last until 1961 with the late game lag? By then it kills me.

in my game its 1991. i havent lagged once. you must be on a potato pc

It's weird. Sometimes it lags and sometimes it doesn't. It got worse then there were like 500 divisions facing each other in Yugoslavia. Now there is 700 divisions in Yugoslavia and it lags less. So I have no idea XD

I have a I5 2500k cpu, while not the best anymore it should be more then abile to run this game. I have not played in a good while, so maybe its been fixed.

I have like 1 billion troops manpower wise fielded as japan, and it doesnt lag, thats a lot. I do play supreme ruler ultimate and have 800k troops as belgium and thats a slideshow. :) hoi is easy on my rig, modded skyrim is harder to run and I have a i5 6600k at 4.8ghz

Holy crap, that is one dystopian world! I haven't had any war even half as bloody. Sounds really cool.

Are you actively trying not to win?

Next time don't just influence. Stage a coup and it will take some pressure off your army.
