New 2023 update install & game went bananas

Post by Johnswar »

Just installed 2023 update, ran a single game vs AI playing allies. Saw very good play from the AI. Got to July of 42 until my suspicions of AI mass cheating was aroused. I get it that AI cheats, but I was very suspicious of mass cheating so I turned off the fog of war and counted 159 German units, 11 of them ranks +1 heavy tank & 2 more Heavy Ranks in production. Zero minor allied tanks.
Now according to my math the Germans can have/build 6 Ranks + 3 Heavy Tanks. Gain +1 Tank due to scripted “Düsseldorf” Tank & +1 Tank from Africa Korp = 8 max & if Africa Korp rank is lost then it can not be replaced. Don’t know about the “Düsseldorf” tank?
So 6 tanks max before specials. I know I crushed the life out of the Africa Korp Rank in Libya in early 42.
The “soft production” option was specifically not chosen. The AI has produced zero Rumanian & Hungarian Tanks.
So it had 159 total units 😮, 11 being Tanks 😧 when it was limited to 6 or 7 max.
I gave the AI a +5% MPP add under options.
This does not compute?
I thought to myself, ya no wonder you’re getting smashed! The Germans have 11 Tanks when I was expecting to see 6 or 7.
And it has 159 units after I was trying very hard over the game to whittle the Germans down.
Is the update screwing up as programmed or is there a bug in the mix?
I thought it was a good idea to update this old game. Was I wrong?

Hi

I've just checked and Germany's Tank build limit starts at 7 + DAK + 3 Heavy Tanks, plus the AI can receive some more by script to assist it. These can always be turned off by going to Advanced -> Options -> Scripts -> Units if desired.
