Soviet AI Issue.
« on: August 10, 2013, 10:27:43 AM »
While I playing against Soviets, I found out some problems of their strategy.

 - AI Soviet is not training so many infantries. only couple of ingenery squad, and command squad, which is quiet opposite of what I expected.

 - almost ALWAYS Spamming Armored vehicle, especially SU-76 and T-90.
   In mid-game, they produce NOTHING but these, even though they saw I'm only spamming AT guns for them.

I'm not sure about priorities of their production, but it's kind of ridiculous. Expert AI just spamming couple of vehicles on and on, so I can easily wash them out with my AT guns and win.
In other hand, I can use no strategy but AT gun spam to survive, which is not funny at all.

I know it's problem for vanilla AI also(Expert AI Panzer Elite spamming Hetzers, Expert Wehrmacht spamming StuHs...)
so not sure you can fix it. I'm just reporting what I found.

And, I didn't check on the Ostheer AI yet...I'll try.


P.S. If there's any way to re-tweak those AI patterns by myself, it will be great.

For PE I think it is OK because I see it do use other tanks like Panzer Infantry Tank and also halftracks (except that they spam muni halftrack and stay on the base). Wehr did spam cheap tanks but I think is StuG instead of StuH. They also love to deploy AT guns compared to vanilla US.

SU tend to spam low tier tanks instead of high tier tanks (so far I did not see any SU AI deploy IS-2 yet)

OH AI seems to be not complete at the moment and the devs say they will update in the following patch, if I am correct.

Btw, can anyone tell me why PE & Wehrmacht never uses the Replace Tanks etc nashorn and geschutswagen and the other onces etc etc?

They always use the same vanilla onces.

I tried various situations and maps.

 - No choices on vehicles. T-90, SU-76 spamming. Producing almost nothing but these. (saw couple of SU-85, or KV-2)

 - Limited Infantry strategy. AI doing nothing but Conscripts(w/weapon reserve)/Strelky/Ingenery Spam.
I tried blocking them out with MG42 team, but they just tried to break through(just like <Enemy at the gate>).
Soviet have a lot of solutions for them(heavy mortar team, sniper, etc...) but AI doing none of them but Infantry spam.

thanks for the feedback

I can already say that just about all of these issues are fixed, and ostheer AI is fully functional in the internal version I'm testing. all changes will arrive in the next patch.

keep providing feedback though, looking through what you guys have said I was able to fix a lot of this stuff
