Is there a mod to make the AI better? And other mods.

[Segert]

Hey folks. Im searching for some mods. I dont seem to find them.

I feel there should be a mod for this out there. But is there a mod. That let the AI make good divisions. Or realistic divisions. Im a larper. So in short The folling types of mods im looking for.

. A mod that let the AI make Realistic or Good divisions
. A mod that let the AI name their divisions, Ships and units appropriately (I hate when i see english tank division named infantry division)
. A mod that let the AI make normal tanks and planes. Also naming them normally with the normal sprite for the looks.
. A mod that let the AI make normal Ships

Basically this. Im a larper so to say. I like to play out ww2 scenarios. I never finish them. Because i stop playing. When i see things like the above. It just destroys my fun at that moment. Yet. I always come back to this game. Best ww2 simulator out there. But.. There could be some fine tuning to make it better. Dont you guys agree?

There is expert ai, with that you can an ai have historical and/or good divisions and will make the AI perform significantly better. Enable more AI buffs and you are looking at a really challenging fight.

The problem with sprites is, that it applies automatically, if someone (a player) edits them, they will see the selected sprite, but the others will not. And sprites are automatically based on equipment. You can limit the equipment a unit can have, thus changing its sprite all accross the board for everyone, but I doubt such a mod exists. Besides, it would largely just handicap whoever limits their equipment.

I am not sure at all about the names, personally I rarely if ever check the names of the enemy divisions, I check their composition, but not their name.

About the ships I do not know, but with expert AI you can set what the AI can produce, even their naval research, however if the AI lacks the resources it will simply not produce it I think.

The expert AI mod as outlined by the above has existed since 2016 and it does a fair bit of the things you are asking but not all.

Expect AI makes AI harder, but also much more predictable.
Normal AI is purposed to make mistakes and bad decisions to offer variety.
That mainly in strategic level. Not sure how it goes in tactical...

I mostly encounter the AI. Not making any good divisions. They forget certain things in their divisions. Support companies but also to make use of tanks. Tank variants ect.. It frustrating because even on the hardest difficulty. Any competent person can just roll over them if they know how to make a division.

Space marine divisions are especially good in overrunning any AI opponent. Also Encircling is a common thing that happens to AI. its so easy. They also forget 1 front and focus all of their stuff somewhere else. Like the british. They dont defend their home island. so you can just swoop in and take it.

Some of the complete overhauls also have improved AI:

is there improve AI without overhaul? Also without messing with settings yourself?

World Ablaze is a total change from the base game. It is much harder, there is much more events and the AI is scripted to be pretty close from historical. The research trees are nationalized so for example in 39, it is impossible to have really good planes with France compared at Germany.

Expert AI change how the AI prioritize its research, the construction, how it's spending the PP, the designs of the divisions, the production etc ... It is not really a question to make it more historical but simple to make the game harder for the player.

With time, I found mods like World Ablaze to be much more immersive even if really hard. Expert AI is fine but I found vanilla to be pretty empty in the end and expert AI does not really changes that. But it is a pretty nice mod still. I think that you should try the mod listed. It can take a while to be able to really notice what a mod has in its belly and what you will really like.
