      I feel like German AI was kinda stupid. They quickly railroaded all their centre to the west , without any precaution, and the russians just encircled them right on the spot, after the western half withdrew. 3 s and 1/6 of their army dissappeared. Could have done it in 2 waves in order not to lose those divs.

      Expert ai prioritizes the Easter front, so the entire German army was in Russia, when d-day happened they had to do a emergency relocation, this broke entrenchment and the soviets took the opportunity and attacked strategically the weak spots with armor.

    I wonder why vanilla AI is so trigger happy with naval invasions. On a typical game with no EAI you get constantly naval invaded which is a bother and can be seen on the right, but EAI had like one failed D-Day attempt, followed by a successful invasion through southern France.

    So if I'm seeing that correctly, basically the Axis dominates the game in Europe until the war in Japan finishes and gets facerolled? I wonder how different this would look if the Allied AI actually prioritized Europe over Asia instead of giving them both equal priority.

      Basically in NSB even if the allies try an early Naval invasion they usually get pushed out, but when Germany gets too far into the soviet Union is when the Allies can land and destroy Germany (because they built up enough and because germany is distracted enough)

If you remove the army from the ideology and look past the atrocities against groups of people, you cannot help but respect the way the wehrmacht performed given the circumstances.
