Less dumb in some place, much more dumb in others.  If you want to win the war now, just stand pat and let AI suicide into you.  It doesn't seem to be deterred by running out of men and materiel, or total lack of progress.

so they finally managed a WW1 AI

I think the most recent patch screwed up the game.  In the last two games, China drove the Japanese off the mainland and in my last one Poland went to war with Latvia, captured Berlin and up ruling most of Hungary and Czechoslovakia.

In my one post patch game, I didn't see that at all. Japan beat China.
The interesting thing I saw, is that for once AI Germany captured Norway.

It's annoying, though, that Japan always fights Russia as part of Axis....there needs to be a NA treaty in the focus trees.

Finally HOI naval AI is getting a little less inaccurate:

meh...this game is annoying. playing as USSR, captured Berlin, Germany was almost defeated; but then the Japanese attacked from the east, gave provinces to Germany and the German Reich suddenly grew out of nowhere east of Stalingrad.
Before I knew it, Germany was at the gates of Moscow, only from the East--which makes the whole "move factories to the east event" a waste of time.

You have to check your country once in a while, make sure that it isn't occupied by the enemy.  It's pretty important.

Got a new PC with a stupid AMD card now the game no worky with the most recent patch. :(
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

Following on from this is Hearts of Iron 3 worth a go?

As I don't like the look of 4 and I think my PC would struggle with it, also might well have the same problem as Raz anyway.

Thanks CC for the quick reply. :cheers:

Latest patch is a big improvement.  The two most significant in my eyes are being able to attach air units to Armies and AI performance.  Managing Air assets isn't the massive headache it was before.  The AI conducts counter attacks at weak points quite effectively and isn't constantly shuffling units.  It can still be fooled but it's a big improvement on the "assign armies to area, attack" method of winning.

Apparently 60% off this weekend.

Been playing this game a lot the last month. I really, really want to like it. But......not sure. Too many annoying things.

The Expert AI mod helps.
