The unhistorical part (and the most annoying if you're playing Allies) is Soviet's meager opposition in the west. Yes, they got destroyed and encircled many times in Belarus and Ukraine, but they keep pumping out more troops so that each step after that is a slugfest to Moscow. Germans irl got to Moscow towards the winter like November whereas Pixel was there September. Also non-agression pact with Japan means Soviet could bring fresh troops from Siberia. The AI, on the other hand just HAD to protect Vladivostok at all costs, even when it being the loss of Moscow and the industrial area

The idea of such warfare is similar to the island hopping tactics in the Pacific. You'd land on a few less defended easy target islands around a larger one, make the islands into bases for ships and planes then kill the shipping around the large island to take it easier. Here you rush around the main supply hubs to split them off from one another, build up your presence on the encirclement then crush inwards on the isolated large city. Basically put, more quick and cheap territory of vital supply importance means more easy kills.
This is my first Hoi video I ever watched and this was so much fun! You have amazing video quality in terms of editing overall music and entertainment. Keep it up and can't believe you're not like a 15 million sub channel lol!
I'm stuck on Blitzkrieg not actually being the term they used, it sounds way cooler than "Bewegungskrieg" even if it does mean something like mobile warfare, saying lightning war is just cooler sounding in general.
@@DiscardPixel I have no idea how i havent found this channel already. Was cool watching the video, i will watch the other videos soon. Have a good day.
I think the big difference is: Lend-Lease, provided 80% of motorised and 25% of the food to Soviets + much more. I think a proportionate increase in enemy divisions and equipment would make it tough for you
also the soviet AI doesnt know how to prioritise fronts and it spreads its gargantuan army way too thin by trying to protect the entire soviet border from finland to japan, so it often results in the soviets leaving some of their best divisions on the japanese border instead of sending them west to hold off the germans
Dude it's cool to seeing pixel's high quality content makes me happy i know him from tommykay's streams and he deserves much more subs and likes etc. keep up the great work man love you.
While a real person would obviously try and break the encirclements and try and protect their supply hubs the strategy of avoiding popping encirclements and just racing down victory points actually works surprisingly well for preserving manpower against the AI

Well, Playing "as historical as you can" in here is hard, when all the blue-eyed blond nordic PDX programners put Germany on hyper-steroids and Soviet union a lame duck is .. not easy... If we mean by history the real history, and not some wehraboo wet dream, which HoI IV ..is.

14:38 The british division in Narvik actually adds a slight bit of historical accuracy. Shortly after Narvik was taken, it was retaken by the Norwegian army with assistance from elements of the french and british armies and the royal navy in what is considered Hitler’s first defeat of the second world war.
I'm surprised that no one is talking about Pixel making Tigers for operation Barbarossa. In the time Barbarossa was launched, Germany's strongest tanks were Panzer III's and early versions of Panzer IV. In France there were no German medium tanks, just Panzer II's.
Blitzkrieg is the actual name of the doctrine. (German for lightning warfare) Bewegungskrieg simply means mobile warfare, I.e. any war that involves significant movement of troops.
