Best mod to play as Russia?

[unmerged(17228)]

So, which mod has the most challengeing AI Germany against Human Soviets without having to gimp myself too much? CORE? Super AI? Vanilla?

I would recommend CORE on Very hard-furious, in addition to selecting the hardest of the 3 difficulty levels at games start. Makes it much more of a challenge.

Although, even with CORE, Germany is unfortunately a cakewalk to conquer...

It is more challenging than vanilla though.

it is definitely not a cakewalk, to conquer Germany with the Soviets. These people must be masters of strategic thinking. A friend of mine, who is a master at HOI, took four years to defeat the Germans with the Soviets. The German army is better and almost as big.

Are you sure we're talking about the same game!?!?

Well, it can be hard with those settings, I myself usually have to spend two or three years before the Germans are gone, depends on how the AI spent it's time up untill the breakout of the war. Like for example in my last SU game where the AI got stuck in Greece (where the UK landed 20+ divisions in Athens and held off the Germans) and didn't invade until mid-1942 when I was more than ready and crushed them in almost less than two years. If they hadn't still been tied up in Greece god knows if I'd made it...

TGW actually. Tsarist Russia is a pain in the arse to play as.
