Hello, I'll start by saying I'm a huge fan of all of Paradox's games. At the moment I'm having a very frustrating issue that has made Victoria 2 unplayable for me until I find a legitimate solution.
It's 1914, I'm playing as Italy and I'm facing an invasion from Austria due to a crisis. My army is quite modern and plenty large for the first wave of offense atleast. The problem is that Austria is winning every battle against my by a landslide. They routinely kill off 4x the number of men I do each tick melting both my army numbers and their organization. I'm defending on fort level 3 and four terrain with river bonuses and all, yet Austria dominates me every time. Clearly, this is not an intended effect. I can understand Austria winning, but there is nothing to justify the complete one sided nature of this situation.
I have a very modern army that is only slightly under tech compared to Austria
I have my organization maxed, and full supply to troops. He has half organization and supply.
I am the defender on level 3 and 4 fortifications with rivers.
We have approximately even number of troops.
My troops are generally more elite than theirs. Eg. I have guards, artillery, infantry and dragoons, they have only infantry and a few cavalry.
I inspected Austria by reloading. He is attacking me with base infantry, very little cavalry and light artillery. While I do believe he has a tech edge, it is too small to justify this level of domination.
TL;DR I am being facerolled by Austria, and nothing seems to indicate that this should be happening to the extent that it is. I can understand losing a battle, but I can't understand how I am being utterly destroyed without effort.
Bottom line is that this is so broken I simply cannot enjoy the game till I know a solution. I don't mind losing battles. This is hopeless and unjustified.
