I've been playing CoW for a while now, however, I have some questions as to how other (better) players produce units, manage their economy and engage in combat.
Apologies in advance if this is really long-winded
1. Unit Production
I've figured out that when I play lvl 100+ players, they are able to have stacks of every unit (artillery, fighters, tactical + strat bombers, tanks, infantry, subs etc.). How do you manage unit production on day 1 (what buildings to build and research)?
Do you do one of a kind or build more based on the type of country (i.e. more naval bases in countries like Japan)
How do you produce troops later on (I know branches vary by doctrine)?
How do you make huge stacks when production of high-level units takes AAAAGES?
2. Economy
I've tried starting games (WaW 4x) by producing artillery, but I immediately run out of goods and manpower early on. I've also tried making fighters and bombers early on, but I run out of RM super quickly. How do I build industry in the most effective way so that I don't run out of resources (i.e. when I build industry early on I have no oil/RM left for unit production)
3. Combat
How do you group troops in stacks that can protect against all branches? I've seen high-level ACs rush towards me and I have struggled countering it. How do you tailor production to weaknesses of enemy troops? How do you take advantage of terrain bonuses (especially in Pan-Asian)?
Thank you for your time.

What about Clash? Should you build Naval there?Taffyta Muttonfudge wrote:
For land based maps like homefront, you don't need any naval AT ALL. Naval bombers work fine, and you can use the oil you save by not building ships on more planes and armor units.
Oh normal occasion, no. Unless you are in the Americas. Just get some naval bombers to defend and that’s it, focus on land. Maybe if you are attacking Europe from Africa as well, but 90% of countries don’t need a fleet.Komrade Khrushchev wrote:

But Allied SParty has range buff, which makes them advantageous against other artillery stacks

Remembered wrongly, sorry guys
Depends on country and doctrine ig. if uk or in north america then yes, but for most you dont need itKomrade Khrushchev wrote:

I would create one or two stacks, and that should do the trick, Navy is understated on clash, it really helps fighting around the Mediterranean and Baltic, where a lot of cities are.Komrade Khrushchev wrote:

Great tips
I'ma throw in some two sense for units: Use the following in big stacks: Mech Inf, Heavy Tanks, Artillery, and SPAA if needed. Im solo'ing a HWW with 690 Points as Romania rn with these units, no cap, see for yo self
Yes, im fighting the US and about to fight Germany because im cool, im also fighting Turkey and British India rn, my unit count is 317

NEVER take advice that requires you to build heavy tanks...Fox-Company wrote:

They're really fun to bow up hehe, and they are so slow that this always pops up in my head.
You guys must think all Heavy Tank users are imbecils, i stack mine with high level Artillery and SPAA, along with a good airforce, after that theyre insanely OP
If you are premium, heavies are your night people shift.
