Hello there ! I have made a quick research, seen nothing especially about the AI, so i hope that it will be useful.

I mostly play COH against the AI, by preference, and i have seen some little trouble the soviet AI, so if it can help some programmers ! Meanwhile I know that AI isn't a priority of course.
Some trouble with the special unit of tech trees : The AI produces them in chain, and stop training other units. For example, the Katyusha and the Assault Tank (KV). I haven't seen any Sherman of the third tech tree, any Partisans too.
The soviet army is really dangerous until these bugs of production. When you only face Katyusha, maybe your infantery is pretty afraid, but you can easily win with some Panzer. In front of chain KV tank, some Tanks & AntiTank gun are enough to end the game. So maybe it's just a problem of unit priority for the AI ?
Moreover about the Katyusha, the AI use them as regular Tank, they go directly in front of the ennemy ! So they are quickly destroyed, you can often see single Katyusha firing rockets, and then rushing into you troops with nothing to do there. So many Katuysha destroyed = spam of Katuysha = no other unit produces.
I have also see that the AI doesn't pick up weapons left on the battlefield, like ATCanon, light weapon, Mortars ... They can now (and i thank you for it) but doesn't make it. Useful for me, not for them :p
They are upgrading Strelky (into "Red banner" unit), but not the Conscrits.
So here are some observations
In conclusion a vision of the Soviet AI : Really dangerous, spam units and zerg everywhere. You can easily be overwhelmed when you play against them, especially on large map. And when they got the T34 and friends, sovietics are still really dangerous. So a very challenging ennemy
except when it bug with katuysha and KV
.
Awesome works on this mods. I think i wouldn't play COH anymore if i haven't discovered Eastern front. Thank you !
