Gyrene Posted April 4, 2001 Share Posted April 4, 2001 Does the AI ever use any better tactics than the blind "Chinese Rush" that it normally uses? I.e.: trying to flank your units under covering fire or by stealth instead of massing troops and charging your positions? It seems to me that the AI is a far better defender than an attacker. Aside from its almost magical ability to get first shot tank kills, it seems to me the AI lags in overall attack ability on scenarios other than ME or Defence. Maybe its just time for me to PBEM.

armornut Posted April 4, 2001 Share Posted April 4, 2001 Better quesion would be; Anyone want a PBEM? You can only do so much against the AI before you get board. So email me a QB! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In "Forest Dwellers",( really fine scenario IMHO ) the AI as Brits have twice tried to swing around my weak left Flank. The AI seems to work better on large Maps.

If you really want to feel like an idiot, try stepping into the Cesspool and challenging someone to a friendly PBEM. And be sure to send some winks to Mr. Peng.

Jarmo Posted April 4, 2001 Share Posted April 4, 2001 I don't think the AI really knows how to flank, at least not in a way of "Hey there's a tank! I'll advance frontally with this heavy tank and send this light one to flank it." What the AI often does to overcome this problem, is to divide it's forces in two groups on both sides of map. If all goes well it can then attack from two directions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
