Experienced players will know this is a huge advantage with more expensive units. The Soviet build tree automatically upgrades units mid-build when they get a new tech. While it started out seemingly reasonable it is now become unreasonable (w/ the 'AI Weightings). I've now played the 1936 Scenario to the end of 1941 as the Germans.
Note, even though 'new' to this game, I played HOI2 for literally tens of thousands of hours so am very familiar w/ what is the 'base' game.
I am in Version 1.05.1 which was the recommended Version upon buying and start-up. And, seeing as several are reporting it it is an issue w/ game and not a 'mod'. If so, I think this is done by event, so you can go into the event files and locate and delete the pertinent events. Originally posted by Flharfh:You must be playing a mod (WIF II or Edge of Darkness?) designed to enhance difficulty because to my knowledge this doesn't happen in the base game.
