I don't know if this is a bug or not but on hard difficulty it seems like the AI is stupidly aggressive. I'm Austria fighting Bohemia and they have Brandenburg. I had them outnumbered to begin with of course but for whatever reason the AI is continually making suicidal attacks. I've got 2 stacks of 16 sieging provinces and, despite them having ~20 stacks total, they're attacking me with stacks of less than 10. I've stack wiped 3 or 4 armies because they make attacks with absolutely no chance of winning. Is this just because the AI is being overly aggressive on hard mode or is something else wrong here?

The AI leaders traits are incorruptible, malevolent, and well-connected. None of those say anything about being overly aggressive in combat so I don't think that's it. Malevolent maybe, but that's Silesia and they're not the ones making the attacks. All my mods are cosmetic and I'm on ironman with achievements enabled so it's not that either. My last few games were on normal and I didn't have this issue then. Is this gonna be a thing now? Do I need to go back to normal to make the game harder?

That's quite usual that the AI suicides when you are sieging him due to miscalculations of his path when you're in his land. I don't think this has anything to do with difficulty.
