Why don't you play on Easy if the AI is too hard for you?

I have been playing on Easy and it's manageable now, but honestly I'm not having much fun with it.

The AI is very well done, it's smarter makes better decisions and actually upgrades it's units. But for whatever reason the games I play against the original CoH AI end up being a lot more fun.

I'd really just like to see it be an option. A mod that focuses on adding two new armies to the mix should stay away from modifying the original game too much.

Alright after having played a game against an easier AI I had much better luck with the Russian Armor.

At this point my only issue with Eastern Front is the changed AI, I understand some people wanting harder AI but I'd really rather have it be a separate downloadable option rather than the norm because it's really killing the mod for me.

Oh and the map Stalingrad drops my FPS considerably where as all other maps run fine. I've got a GeForce 9800, and I figured it was maybe the snow particles but one of the 1v1 maps with snow particles didn't lag me at all.

It's a minor issue but Stalingrad seems like it'd be a really interesting map to play but at the moment it's unplayable.

Bring up the t-34/85 upgrade then see what those puma's think then.

I completely forgot you could upgrade the tanks as well. I think that along with the fact I'm not used to the much harder AI is the reason I'm getting whiped out in the first 10 minutes of a game.

There's a lot of parts of Eastern Front that are professional quality. The only major thing I could think of would be to make sure that all units and buildings are unique models, same goes for any button images.

Seeing prefabbed army structures taken from other armies it kind of takes away the sense of it being a professional deal.

I played three skirmishes yesterday on Normal and was getting absolutely destroyed playing the Soviets.

AI needs a nerf

Seriously, I hardly ever play online matches in CoH so not being able to play against a suitable AI really sucks.

I've played two games so far, and my biggest issue so far is not having nearly enough resources to actually pump out the men and armor needed.

I mean the T-34 is 75 fuel where as a Panzer is 70 fuel, how does that work? My T-34 was getting killed by Armored Cars and only taking them down to 15-25% health before being blown to pieces.

Which means a 75 fuel tank couldn't kill, and was being killed by, a 35 fuel armored car. A tank being killed by an armored car with the barrel upgrade would be fine if the tank's price matched it's prowess.

It just seems to me that the Red Army is advertised as being quantity over quality yet the majority of their armor is incredibly expensive for what you're getting.

My guess is I'm just not used to playing them yet, but it does seem at face value to be a bit bizarre unit pricing-wise.
