As the czech entente, we pushed germans to berlin but the allies just sat back at their borders and did jack all. Took a few german attacks and thats about it. Same war, access granted etc.

This is just stupid at this point. Three attempts in a row this has happened. Twice where I even got to their borders and they will not move off the maginot line. But hey, atleast they send their ENTIRE army to fight italy in the mountains.

I think the AI has some special restrictions for the Maginot line- the Germans won't push over it because of the forts, the French won't push over because they're coded to play defensively on that line.

If they get the opportunity they push the Germans through the Benelux if they've been invaded.

From what's I've seen the Germans always love to push over the Maginot every single game they attack France.

The French AI is coded to never push through the Maginot no matter what happens. If the French AI has no other fronts it can go through (Italy to Austria, Switzerland, Benelux, Naval Invasion) they will never enter German soil no matter how the war is going.

This os probably why they're trying so hard in Italy, since they're coded to never push the Maginot.

In 1.4 I accidentally left the French border undermanned, not undefended. The French attacked with full gusto and pushed all the way to Frankfurt before some of my Eastern divisions could stop them and push them back.

I don’t think the French AI is intentionally bad, it’s just very cautious about going on the offensive.

One other thing to consider besides what has already been mentioned is if the German AI is taking the decision to build forts along the border. That may also be factoring in why they won't push through the line.
