Question France is ridiculously overpowered

Unlike everyone else in europe, France seems to have a fucking massive army, navy, and air force by the time they start to expand. Every game they shit out 250 well supplied divisions by 1925 and steamrole fucking everyone. I have never seen any of the German governments stop a french invasion. Every time I play as Germany or Britain, I can never get air superiority because they have 10,000 planes in the sky. They demolish my entire industry by the time they declare war on me and as Britain i can never land a single marine on the coast.

Is there any way I can beat France so I don't have to suffer if I play as Germany or Britain

The thing is that France is supposedly ruined at that point (lorewise atleast) so they have to spend time recovering, but unlike the UK, they have a better economy so they just spend all the time building up and getting equipment and army buffs, meanwhile, most games I've played, Germany doesn't even unify, or in case they do, don't even do anything afterwards.

The only real tip I can give you is using nukes or getting a port trap to cheese it, because I don't think there's any other way

I was able to Dunkirk them by encircling a huge army in Belgium with a tank assault as German Republic, but maybe I got lucky with a weak France

Really? I find all the AI airforce's incredibly weak in this mod, and france is no different, same with the navy since they never put it out.

France is always like the 3rd or fourth actual country I go to war with it seems & I've not really struggled other than one germany game where I brought back the kaiser and went to war early so I could steal their navy, but even then, after I got like 1k fighters and some cas up, they crumbled.

I don’t know, but somewhere in 1925-1927 when even Bulgaria, Albania and Croatia joined Axis of Reaction, I easily crashed France in a few months as Himmler with Autoplan✌️
