[5.0.0] Enemy AI not aggressive and tanks stay in base area
Posted: 29 Oct 2017, 17:21
Hi,
I hope the devs can look at this as I have to play offline Skirmish. I can't play online as I need to be able to pause the game occasionally.
This happened on "BK MOD TIP 2: Kurland Pocket (2)". I'll try another game with same army and difficulty settings to see if this effects other maps as well.
This was with Panzer Elite against the American enemy AI on Normal. Enemy AI put up very little resistance (but good for learning this army's doctrine's which I'm not familiar with!). Groups of infantry did eventually start an organised attack on my positions with one light tank turning up. But then that was mostly it apart from occasional infantry attacks. At first I thought this was because I had quickly captured most of the points and the enemy AI simply had too few resources, however not so ! However I was then surprised to discovered what I thought was a lone Sherman tank in the base which my artillery quickly destroyed. What was it doing in there, as it must have been built well before I started attacking the base. So I eventually started a coordinated base destruction attack but was surprised to find multiple tanks still sitting in the base !
Why were they all sitting there ? They must have been there for a while as well. I don't think this is just a case of the AI not being very good at base defence. The entire game was characterised by the enemy AI being uninterested in capturing points. Some attempts did go on but not in the aggressive way I would expect especially in Blitzkrieg. Even on normal setting Blitzkrieg is, or should be, difficult.
