The AI Looks Improved

[KalypsoKirin]

I'm watching last Wednesday's stream and... good lord, the AI seems massively improved. No fear taking advantage of over extended tanks and clearing up the paths they blaze through their country.
Will this be the end of truckin' straight to Moscow?

Lord knows, but hopefully it's slow progress - although I have enjoyed liberating Europe by '42 with 24 divisions as the UK.

I hope so.

I'm tired of facing a buffed AI. It's annoying. I want a smart AI, not a strong enemy. I want it to actually have some back and forth with me, not just some "lol I'm AI so my units are just better purely because no reason". It makes the game a drag, honestly. And once they're encircled, GG. It's just no fun anymore.

Saw the same thing, but am going to have to watch it again - is it a case where they were quick to take the land behind the advance, or was it that the AI was also slow in trying to reinforce and defend with the infantry behind the advance. On speed 5 it's sometimes a little hard to tell just what's going on.

On the other hand you have single Japanese volunteerdivisions attacking the maginot line over the river without support and no matter what the odds are. I mean how is that even usefull? Japan just drains his manpower.

transfering this to a bigger scale i just hope that the good old sowjet AI behavior of wasting all equipment and millions of manpower by basically usefull charges in a few weeks wont happen anymore.

I´m not saying that the AI should completely avoid forts but attacking a level 10 fort over a river single handedly against multiple divisions and also without air cover should not be happening. That is like -200% attack modifier?

-200% is nothing against the ferocity of the Japanese soldier! Conquer, or DIE!
