I am 100% convinced the AI is coded to be against you even if its supposed to be an ally. Faction AI is always extremely dim witted - leaving ports undefended, flooding local supply with garbage units and not helping in the air. Meanwhile hostile AI will defend every port with unreasonable force, never runs out of supply and concentrates air wherever you go. Its always best to go to war with no allies. I'm just going to say it bluntly.

[@raptorcell6633]

Playing an Axis Minor gives you a crash course in how incompetent HOI4's AI is.

[@andromidius]

@@raptorcell6633 100%. Even playing as Italy is awful when you keep noticing Germany is being D-Day'ed without defending itself properly every few months. And AI Germany still doesn't know how to beat the Soviets, takes more losses then anyone else and greedily steals territory it had no part in taking (including territory you attacked through your own lands) and refuses to give it back. I think its why Monarchist paths are so popular. 9 times out of 10 you're fighting solo.

I like going the other way for this achievement. That is, use the chasseur Ardennes template style (1 Light TD), GBP, and Defensive methods, and take on Germany when they go around the Maginot. While they drain away on your impenetrable wall of forts and TDs, build a full collab on them. Then when you cap them, you get the entire Germany for free as a collab. You will also have enough war score to grab a couple more puppets since you did most of the work. When the war is done, all you have to do is cap France for Paris and annex Germany. Takes the RNG away from dealing with the UK.

I really do think they need to tweak the AI's aggression and force concentration again, it is simultaneously better as well as way worse, whereas before they were far too passive & seemingly almost adverse to deploying the bulk of their armor and mech along one particular axis of advance, now every time I play the game after about a year of fighting the soviets Germany never has a single division at full strength, by '43 the British AI can't just smell the blood in the water it can see that the seas have turned red and starts throwing out naval invasions into Italy and France way earlier than before, like April or March of '44 and that's on a surprisingly accurate run, usually even without me doing anything when I play in the Allies by the end of 1943 Germany has already been defeated or the allies have already liberated all of France, taken out Italy and we're all getting the Yalta conference because they're holding a bunch of cored German territory. seems to me that countries like Germany are waaaaaay too aggressive *all of the time regardless of if their entire army is sitting on less than 60% combat readiness,* that has handed me the win every time I played once I noticed that's what was happening, same goes for the Allies too although the US and UK seem a fair bit slower to work up to that level of AI aggression.
