It's impossible to play as Comintern against Panasians in Asia. They counter you in every way possible.
In Asia there is so much space and most of the terrain is plains that it is impossible to deal with Panasians. (Yeah you can bunker up in your core but you can't leave it savely...)
Panasian artillery is better than Comintern's, their infantry is WAY better, their ACs and LTs are also WAY better.
Their interceptors easily shut down your bombers.
In my opinion there is no damn reason that Panasian infantry is so much better than Comintern's. Attacking early on with melee troops into Panasian is so inefficient that it seems unbalanced.
You could say Cominterns ATs are good but a stack of Panasian infantry and LTs will wreck everything you could have.
The only units that Comintern have are RA and MT/TD which come in quite late. But the problem with those units is:
-they are slow
-if you wait for RA and build ATs they can easily get 2 or more countries by the time you conquer one.
-If you build artillery and then RA then their ACs and LTs will run you over easily.
-You have to form big stacks that will take ages to reach Panasian core provinces. And stepping on plains is always risky since there might come a stack of LTs out of shadows that will wreck whatever stack you have.
-MTs and TDs by the time you have meaningful amount of them they can easily overwhelm you with artillery and their quick troops
It feels quite impossible to play that match-up. If you can somehow survive untill later stages you still cant do much because they will have half of Asia conquered.
So what is the strat? It seems that the moment you can start playing is basicly day 5 when you get your SPRAs out. On the other hand it's always a pleasure to play as Panasians vs Comintern

I’m a common commie player and am also playing Pan Asian right now. Yes, Commie Medium and Heavy tanks both have a boost, though only one is obviously viable.
Either way, we know the true champion is the FT; a new challenger approaches though, the "Amphibious Tank" (AT? AmpT? WT? Water Tank?)
Both. Both is good
Commie heavy units are as good as axis from a resource efficiency perspective, they can produce MTs quicker and cheaper. But don't mistake them for fast. Pan Asian regular arty should be able to keep away from MT rushes given their better speed. I've never had a problem with that. The only concern is usually LT/AC/Mot Inf on plains._Pyth0n_ wrote:
OP has a point but so does Car; either way commie is weak early game (weak dmg) and pan-asian is strong early game (speed + vision + terrain buffs + inf boost), but commie can hunker down until they work their numbers up. Not sure (haven't played comintern in a while) but their H.armor is good, no? With pan-asian, usually their anti-H.armor is their arty, but you need shoot and scoot to make that viable against MTs, which can be tricky to pull off, 'cause pan-asian arty is still slower than a commit MT I think (not sure). Ig pan-asian person could have attack bombers, but that's rare (usually they go for tacs). Also, just overstack like crazy as commie; pan-asian already is missing 10% of their HP, and commie troops can be spammed so much that HP can reach crazy high numbers, even if dmg output is low.
