Playing Skirmish- Tank Spam

[James39]

I enjoy this game but not one issue when playing vs the Al . In the end game , the computer mostly just spams tanks. A tank war , few infantry units. So usually, the winner side is the one with the most tanks.

Well I cant help the ai spamming certain units but I can suggest the a very good mod

lol. depends what level comp you are playing against hard and exp get increased rates for all 3 point types.

[General WVPM]

you can try capturing the enemy fuel points as that is needed for MOST tanks, some doctrines get tanks for manpower only.

Simple, deny them of fuel at early game.

just make yesterday a skirmish AI vs expert computer, I make game mode "destroy the base"..
so in start, spammed with snipers team, MG teams and the rockets infantry plus engineers with flames.
^ this for start, holding the base like 30 mins than the expert PC started send Stugs, Pumas, and the top of the enemies, come with Panther and Tiger.
luck my M26 pershing was with 3 points exp and had an hell cat tank supported with an AT gun in base.

so is like starting with the lowest units than upgraded to the heavily beast in WW2 .
seems ok, like from "easy" to "hard" but I played "Last Stand" when overran and just holded base with MG nest and engineer+snipers def.

maybe if taking the Paratropers role or Infantry was complete Dead but.. was fine in end with "Tank Commander".

Yeah, why ? I have a very hard time beating the Al as American vs Germans. Most of the time the Al wins. Very frustrating, I have even hear that some players beat the Al in hard, which I find that a little hard to believe.

Thats great, if you could share a replay with you playing vs hard or expert would be great.

*Long breath*
I got over 220 hours of COH experimence

How AI cheats:

Omnivison
AI send artillery rounds to my base, without even having line of sight, not even possible they have

Resources
My biggest issue, AI CHEATS, litteraly, when i get one M4, it get 3 PAKS and 2 Grenadier squad + some Panzer
When i get Pershing, it get 3 Tigers, when i got artillery as British, it get 3-7 random armored vehicles
This is pretty true, if you cut off AI resources , its still SENDS MASSES OF TANKS AND SPAM SUPPORT POWERS WHERE IT DONT SEE, AND CANT AFFORD

Also this can be nicely seen aswell, if you have AI kamared in your team, it have 3 or 5 times more units than you, when you try to build as many, as you can, you cant even have 60% of AI troops

Doctorine predition cheating
I chose defence doctorine, somehow enemy AI chose artillery doctorine with some nasty stuff like V1 or Yperit gases (in case of The Great War mod)
I chose Armor doctorine, and USA AI somehow have Infantry doctorine (which contain Rangers)

Expert AI gets extra ressources and no Fog of War. Its easy to beat them despite this because an AI has no brain and just throws units at you.

[General WVPM]

doctrines should be random, AI gets resources cheats and big ones in some cases, BK is the worst with massive resource cheats producing an endless stream of units.
and yes omnivision, i also heard people claim the AI gets health bonuses and/or production speed bonuses.

But for me, it happen on Normal, NORMAL !
