@@red.s1k Yes that is mostly true, however since dressel has played exclusively Japan when he started playing this mod he would know that early on Japan is dogshit, so then would assume that base game US is better than world war bruh Japan at that time period, however since he missed the one time someone made the mistake of an early war as US Which basically makes your game impossible he didn't know.

@@deltoroperdedor3166 Well that is true however, he declared in 38 and the US only has 38 mils to do anything and a portion of those went to aircraft so, he could have tried but he would have had under equiped troops. Also were would he actually get the XP for it, the amount of invasions he did in the viedo were a lot but those were the only offensives he did since the soviets capitulated in 41.
