The consensus is that the AI lacks a whole heck of alot. But there are ways to improve the AI's chances at putting up a fight.
(This is for playing a quick batle, operation etc. against the AI. I dont intended to elaborate on how to improve how that AI acts when you are desgining a level.)
1. You can give the AI an experience bonus. This will increase the quality of his troops. This doesn't help it choose the right path, or make it travel in formations and such, but whatever, it helps it a bit.
2. You can give the AI extra troops. Depending on the level, sometimes 50% extra troops will give the AI a fighting chance. Try it. The AI will swarm in one giant blob of men and materials, like it always does, but there will be more!!! Heh, heh.
3. What I find is that most of the AI's casualties are caused by attritional arty. Like, when the AI is forming up in that patch of woods. SO what do you do?? Natch! You bomb the patch to hell! AI's attack is broken up, tanks stripped of support.. AI loses again. SO, may I suggest that you either not use heavy arty against the AI, or at least limit your usage. Purchase smaller arty to suppress, not to kill. THis will help. Trust me! :cool:
You would be surprised how successful the AI can be when it has a troop % bonus, troops experience bonus, and arty is not causing too much trouble.
Anyways, thats my 2 Canadian cents.... So it's only really my 1.3 cents...
