Is it normal for the AI nations on your side to be this bad?
Noob here, playing as Canada so I can get the basics of building up economy / industry in a safe, low stakes location where I can chip in with combat but not have to carry the burden
However, it’s late 1943, USSR has collapsed, the US is completely bogged down in it’s Italian invasion from Sicily, and British forces keep staging naval invasions and immediately getting surrounded and losing like 30-40 divisions. Seriously, they’ve done it in Greece, Netherlands, and Belgium twice
Since my manpower is really low I’m trying to focus on planes and tank divisions hoping to spearhead some offensive operations but it feels useless when then AI is so inept.
Playing on Regular. Is this normal? Skill issue? Feels like there’s only so much I can do as Canada. Any other recommendations for starter nations?
Edit: to be clear, it it normal for the Allies / Comintern to be this laughably useless or is it just by chance this playthrough?
