Regarding ai troop concentration

[Narkaz]

In hoi 3 the ai always spread its troops equally over the entire length of the front. This was very easy for experienced players to exploit. I just wanted to express my hope that in hoi 4 the ai will be able to concentrate troops on a certain part of the front so the player can never feel safe.

Or even better, behind the lines so you can't see them. Something like Soviet "Maskirovka" tactics deployed before Operation Bagration.

And you need to send reconnaissance planes over to see them, or use partisans, and the info isn't always 100% accurate. Ok maybe this is too much work.

 

[No idea]

At the very least, soviet ai should be taught to make a defence in depth, with second and even third echelons, as it did irl. That was what saved them in 1941. Had they amassed all their troops in the border, as the ai always does in hoi 3, Europe would probably be one big nazi country.

Just think of what the allies ran into at Market Garden.
