Hey guys is there something wrong with AI Finland? I've been observing them in some test runs and it looks like they don't even have enough Divisions to cover their border for the Winter War.

Whilst you can get them to successfully hold the line with volunteers, as soon as the USSR start naval invasions they fold like a house of cards since the AI can't defend both the border and ports. Or at least that is my experience when trying to help them..They actually fair quite well all things considered, especially if you send them some volunteers. But I think the AI is set to lose if the historical path is followed. Finland is a great small nation to play now.
I can't help but agree. before BBA I would see the event pop up about "jubilant italian soldiers enter cairo" in like a third to 1/2 the games I played. After BBA I don't think ive ever seen that event unless I helped Italy- instead after the free update alongside BBA Italy always gets crushed in North Africa- the only rare thing is when they are able to hold out for more then 1 year.It's odd, they spent effort developing a proper Historical Finland tree only for Historical Finland to now perform worse historically than they did before AAT. "Soft nudges" indeed...

Well historically Finland was not ready for winter war. They were surpriced. Luckily to Finland, Soviet did mess up their attack badly and Finland did get time to get their line ready before total collapse. But in reality Finland should not have any chance is Winter war unles Soviet plays historically badly aka play historically also.
I think a few MP mods do it too like TFB.IMO the correct approach would've been to make some of the frontier impassable, similar to how HoI3 did it.
Finland collapses even without Soviets being buffed.Finland completely collapses just about every time if I buff the Soviets enough to have a game.
Could you buff Finland to counter it?Finland completely collapses just about every time if I buff the Soviets enough to have a game.
I've tried, but it is tricky to hit the right balance. The Soviets collapse so damn easily now.Could you buff Finland to counter it?
