What nation are you playing as? And is your tech up to date and full strength? For me the 7/2 template works just fine

Any nation, espescially equestria and changeling

Well in that case i dont really see how it doesnt work. I have played multiple times with equestria and by the start of war i usually have around 60 20cw divisions. I do get pushed back a bit at first but the changelings do exhaust themselves quite fast

I tried the changelings and I got overrun, equestria 100+ divisions, crystal empire 50-100 divisions, stalliongrad 100+ divisions. Me 70-100 fighting divisions.

i recommand you use 40width infantry+cannon with 1~2heavy tanks for stong or late game nation.if you'd like pick a weak nation then 7/2 is fine.when you fight with changelings,it like fight against germans——so you need at and aa[espeicaily at].if you play changelings,you have to learn how to use tanks and cars......or just start trench on fort use 40width divisons with golden-sheid，and wait stupid ponys waste their life on meanless charge to your invincible defense[and pay a bit of attention on coastal]

changelings? that explains it
as changelings you are at a disadvantage and you need to do some proper thinking to win with them
as you already noticed you will face down the barrel of 3 enemy empires
first of you need way more divisions (200-300 or so)
second you need a good armored corps to punch trough
third dont neglect air

fourth, and this one is huge, manage world tension like a mother manages her child
equestria gets a ~75% research penalty and is stuck in a state olmost as bad as vanillas US great deppression, this means the longer you can keep that WT below the critical mass that allows equestria to mobilise, the more powerfull you will be relatively.
if equestria reaches that point however, emmediately start justifying, and blitzkrieg equestria before it can build up with its massive manpower pool.

fifth, the crystal empire is a hellhole to charge trough and isnt effected by the massive debuffs equestria has, ignore them, charge the south ASAP.
if you do it right you should capture the equestria capital before the commy ponies join the war
when teh commies dop join the war halt you offensive, and start fortefying, else you may lose the land connection between your homeland and the southern front.
your next step is to slowly take the remaining land of equestria with the armored corps.
after equestria falls the rest is a cakewalk.

before i forget btw, the cyrstal empire ofcours etsill has a formidable force, make sure they dont take your homeland while the main force is cleaning up equestria, and even though you gotta ignroe them, dont miss an oppertunity to strike them if they ever let their guard down.
the mountains they control would be much better defenses in your hand than theirs

and btw manpower problems? dont be scared to up your manpower laws, its a stacking debuff not a multeplying debuff, that means if you have +50% from industry the -20% from 20% manpower is actually reducing you to 130% production, not 120%
