so hows the AI? worth retuning

[geogus]

Hi guys
Would like to know if ai has been improved improved to a playable quality

Altough i think hoi iv has tremendous potential i give it a stop due to really stupid ai decisions, to give devs time to fix things up

(such as germany dowing the france uk before taking poland and not even able to capture luxemburg, or setting all its troops in east prussia to plan an amphibious assault in danzig without no force in the border)

So worth playing?

AI's improved, but still has some really silly habits. I find it worth playing, but since the AI is a big hang-up for you and there's a patch which looks like it'll help the AI out a fair bit coming up, I'd suggest coming back when that patch drops.

The AI is still pretty uh, eccentric. The next patch seems to have some things that should help the AI a bit so when that patch drops things might improve. I'd wait until after the patch releases though because AI is hard and I doubt they'll completely fix it in a single patch.

The next DLC has just been announced and according to the Dev the AI has been greatly improved.

Exactly, I've read the first description for OAK patch and it seems it will try to tackle all the 'hot' problems (front shuffling and bad division design).

It's been bearable for me, I can manage to see past the frontline shuffling and poor division designs for the time being, my biggest hang up is feeling like sometimes I feel like I have to personally do a pretty important objective because the AI don't want to prioritize going for the capital or something along those lines. Obviously as a major nation it's not too bad but if you're playing someone smaller, especially on expert, you tend to have to rely on the AI's strategic abilities. I'm just nitpicking though, I still love this game.

It's overall improved. At launch the AI was quite terrible. At the current state I find it more or less tolerable, but still prone to failure. As other posters have said the Oak patch is going to be released sometime in the next month or so, and so far I'm quite pleased with what's been worked on.

As Germany or Soviets the only way I get a challenging SP game is on Veteran difficulty, enemy majors buff slider either maxed or high, and with AI mod. And a little role play, not always min maxing.

With that I'm having a better game now. Soviets are pushing me at times and find myself wanting to finish them because of the growing US threat.

Since we expect significant AI improvements in next patch, if you are having fun with other games maybe hold off. Or try something like the above to get back into it.
