"I'm currently playing through [single player game]"

Ah ok, we're probably good

A long time ago, when I was a teenager and the first HoI was out, I was only playing Germany. Mostly because it was the only powerful country which felt somewhat manageable without wanting to cry in the convoy screen...

Navy management is actually quite easy, people just overthink it/don't understand that the AI is so flawed it doesn't matter in SP, you just need enough naval superiority in one zone for a single day to Sealion Britain as anyone from Spain to Ethiopia. It's also much easier now that you can claim navies in peace deals.

...There were peace deals in HoI 1? 🤨

Is exclusively playing Trotsky better or worse?

Is it bad that I played China in SP? I did pretty much take over the world...

It was an interesting run. Just surviving as China in the beginning is extremely hard, but eventually I controlled all of China plus Japan. Then Russia attacked so I took over almost all of Russia. Then the allies attacked, so I blocked them at India and eventually took over India, then North America and finally started pushing into Europe. With no DLC the endgame can become such a painful grind. The only aggressive wars I was in were the early wars to unify China. Other than that I was always on the defensive.
