Fix the ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ nationalist spain ai

[CallingSkoot]

I have lost 2 ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ light tanks trying to get encirclements in the civil war and every ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ time franco just leaves me. I got him an encirclement in Barcelona, AND FRANCO LOST TO A FEW ENCIRCLED CAVELRY DIVISIONS! He ended up losing the encirclement, which I then tried to re-encircle, but of course, Franco ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ leaves me, and the republicans end up encircling my light tank division. Later, I tried getting an encirclement in Valencia, costing me another light tank division, because Franco is ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ retarded. I have 1 more light tank division, and if Franco ♥♥♥♥♥ me over, one more time, I'm going to ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ hang myself.

okay, normaly i am one of the main people to rip the ai and paradoxes lazyness to absolute shreds, but how in the hell did you get your units encircled in spain? in my entire 1000 hours i have never had an issue with assisting nationalist spain or republican spain. its beyond easy to help either win especially with tank divisions.

can we get some screenshots please? because otherwise i am assuming user error here.

You cab send 3 tanks as germany if you just build like 7 cav divisions immediately.
With these its impossible to be encircled

What you do is halt a tank division in every province you take, wait for allied troops to fill it in, and then move again.

This. Need to protect your supply lines. Yes, allies AI is annoying. In Darkest Hour you could take direct control of your allies units which is what they should have in Hoi4.

It doesn't normally happen to me, but when it does it is because Franco starts pulling units off lines randomly which the repubs rapidly pour into creatin a huge chunk of cut off land.

No way for 2-3 tank divisions to pee out a fire that large without losing all org and dying.

This happens in spite of care being taken not to overextend and keep supply intact. Franco just feels like losing the war sometimes it seems.

I play as italy and germany a few times, and every time the nationalists win (one of those times that win allowed the republicans to build up a ridiculous army that still threatens my borders). But FIRST TIME I play a nation that isn’t fascists, the nationalists actually win.

Do you ever send volunteers to Spain as Germany/Italy? They make all the difference. A couple tanks from Germany will finish the war in a month.

Sounds like someone blaming the hammer for the nail not going in straight.
