Doesn't that unbalance things for the player as well?
I am willing to play with that tweak to the game balance until the patch arrives that takes care of the issue, because it has made the game more playable and enjoyable for me. Not saying that others should do this too, just that they could if they wanted to. I do not superstack my own units and then attack... just treating the AI's OCD behavior with the tools at hand...

I have ran into these channel island superstacks quite often when playing as Germany, but I just put my own stack of submarines in the water province adjacent to the naval port and this has effectively crippled their use of the superstack every time.

people seem to be misunderstanding the super-stack, its not a threat, exactly the opposite it cripples the AI nations which is why it's bad.
Absolutely. The AI obsessively stacks units in one province, but once it gets beyond 20 it will not want to move them (attack with) due to the stacking limit attack penalty, and just keeps "washing its hands" so to speak, by adding to the stack. That is my understanding, at least.

oh it attacks, just that it attacks with a negative modifier, youll see German Units running around with 99 experience and insane leader skills should the strait between Channel Island and Cherbourg be removed in the middle of a game. in either case the AI cant handle it but iirc this has been "fixed" for 1.4 my only concern is what devestating error will the fix cause... Dun, dun, dun...

The British have, in almost every one of my German games, positioned several hundred ships in their docks on the British Isles. While they don't throw the whole thing at me, they do send 10-15 ship fleets out at a time, only to be sunken by my unterseeflottille.
