Paired up with the Panzer Elite

[Volksgrenadier_72nd]

I don't know if this is a bug but it frequently happens to me a lot. One such experience was in the "Dragon Valley Map."

Most of the time the Panzer Elite AI picks the Luftwaffe Tactics and well...

At first its a P.E capping fest and with my manned Half-Track- Volks - MG - Pak Tactics everything was going well.

Even better when I got to T4 and produced a pair of Panzer IVs. Even better when the Panther showed up.

It was excellent with the Assault ability.

Then... British and American AI suddenly became fierce... in numbers. I got pushed back really hard. Then I looked at the Tactical Map...

and there were hardly any P.E forces left! No tanks. Just a lot of Reich Paratroppers.

Then one-by-one we get pushed back... Then I accidentally hit the AVR and the computer turned-off.

Is it better to pair up with a Werhmacht AI than the P.E?

It all depends on what kind of difficulty you have the ai set to , friendly and enemy.

You should also know that once the ai reaches some sort of 'call in' unit , aka luftwaffe squad or fallschirmjagers, as you described , theyll keep trying to spam that unit over and over again, dont know why it does that , they just do , I guess its just how the ai is coded for the moment. Youll have better luck if your ally ai chooses tank destroyer doctrine, then at least theyll spam hetzers instead of luftwaffe/fallschirmjagers.

its a good combination for a wehrmacht and pe allys , that way the pe does the capping far quicker with their kets, leaving you time to invest in building structures/units, though it will be up to you(wehrmacht) to construct the defenses and observation posts to secure the newly captured ground.

Hehehe. Hey Berger. If the P.E was a human player such as yourself. It would have been short and decisive. I saw your stats. You're P.E player!

Well, I recently changed tactics. Static Defenses gets bombed out by Artillery. So U switched to a more mobile tactic. Blitzkrieg Doctrine! And VolksGrenadiers last until the end of the fight!

Giving up my beloved Flak 88. Its hard but a scattered formation of paks can devastate even the pesky Shermans.

I tried the P.E once... I got confused... And I can't handle paper thin cars.

Anyways It was a P.E expert AI. They left me there to dry. And well I switched to a Werhmacht partner and it was alright. They kept on overextending the advance though.

P.E rarely chooses the Hetzer though.
