Hi there, as the thread title says, I'm having problems with the Allied Normal AI, on the St.Hilaire map (I don't even want to know how would it be on the bocage map...) .
I think the core of the problem are allied AT guns, it's the use the AI can make of them that is really, really annoying.
The AI starts spamming them like crazy, to the point that you can see groups of 2-3 of them rampaging across the map, reducing any tanks I make (and I'm making few) to nonexistance in seconds, and pounding down even infantry... also because their LOS is someway wrong, I saw them 'snipe' things they probably had no LOS to, while standing in the shroud, including my own AT guns and MG42 teams, and no one was acting as spotter for them, I'm pretty sure of that.
The only real counter I've found are snipers, but the problem is that the american planes always know where they are, even if they haven't fired a single shot, then it's strafe-run and autopwn for the sniper.
The fact that Airborne AI is a happy AT dropper makes this even more frustrating, anyway his AT guns, with flame engineer/rifle/para/quad support simply advance and tear up any defense, and after they bypass my tank trap line, it's uncap-party for all my points... :lonely:
So far the axis team can win only if my team mate manages to pull out a tank rush on his base, but the AT gun drop from airborne can make that a costly strategy.
I still have to try mortar teams, maybe they'll help.
Anyway any help/advice is very welcome, thanks a lot in advance.
Sorry for the long, maybe boring post.
