Red Army AI

[figgy]

Hi, I don't know about you guys, but after playing the Soviet AI, I notice a severe problem. After extensive fighting (if you can survive that long,  ) the Soviets seem to always pick Propaganda Doctrine and spam Katyushas. And I mean spam to the point where they only buy Katyushas. It effectively ruins the game.  They basically stop playing and allow you to steam roll them as they only build katyushas.

Here were the circumstances for my observations: I played normal AI as Wehr, and all on the new Eastern front maps. I've seen them do this roughly 5-6 times now.

Noticed this as well. It is very annoying. -_-

There was a post like this before. Anyway when Im plaing vs Soviets they usually spam breakethru mechanics. Once I 1 shot killed the same T-70 4 times with a PAK!

There is a mod that improves ai,is called nurbisco improved ai mod there is a chance to mix with Eastern Front mod.

It's not necessarily that I want improved AI, as much as I just want them to not throw the game out the window and seemingly lose on purpose.

But is that Mod any good?

since it's going towards mods... why isnt the Blitzkreig mod adaptable to EF ?

I noctied something simaler, I was playing soviets they only made Kv-2s.

One thing that was weird though, was while playing a 3 on 3 on Seelow, (after getting nearly pummeled into the ground) 2/3 Russian AI commenced on building purely a Katyusha army. They were both on normal, but one AI I decided to put on easy to not get steamrolled as easily. After we were outside their bases, I did see the easy AI still producing infantry and such, and he did not use Kats.

I'll have to investigate that farther, as he may have not even reached enough command points for kats yet. This problem really is game crippling though against AI

put hard US and Med USSR , when they spam Kats the US will still be problematic with kat support haha

New thing I just found, easy AI spams partisans instead of kats.

How irritating !!

The AI simply just needs a revamp. I don't even care if they remain brutally hard to beat, just fix them so that they play the game instead of noob it up 15-20 minutes in.

I found the AI spammed Katyushas... and then sent them suiciding into my base, one by one, never firing them...

I wonder what it would be like to play a game of Katayusha's and Nebelwerfers/walking stukas ..... I think Wehrmacht would win.

I think theres 3 different play styles the cpu have as soviets.

1 - KAT spam
2 - Partisan Spam
3 - Mech salvage spam

they happen on all difficulties, but the kat spam is just the common one where the other twos are kinda rare, and nasty ^^

Those are the things ive tried so far.
