I usually paly at AI advantage 50, and usually play hard battles, but this evil enchanced mod AI defeated me in deatil in the medium battle! I was experimenting with new core force combination, based on the Zis-30/T-50. I was playing Russian WWII campain, 2/42 with core force 10x Zis-30 57-mm light tank destroyer, 10x T-50 light tanks, 2x KV-1 , two incomplete rifle companies, 4x 76mm USV ATG, 4x 12.5mm HMG, and usuall support - 107mm mortar battery, Wheeled AA platoon nad some reserved slots - mules, 1x T-27. As support troups I got 152mm off board art btn, 152mm strongpoint, 4x ATG and 8x 12.5mm HMG. First German plane killed my KV, depsite nearby AA truck. After that combined force of tanks and infantry attacked on narrow front, rendering half of ATG/infantry useless. Zis-30 couldn't hit side of the barn on the long range, and German infantry mostly suppressed ATG. Strongpoint was almoste permanently suppressed. By the time German tanks closed the range survived Zis-30 expended ammunition,remaning German tanks killed my T-50, KV-1 was suppressed, HMG destroyed, my infantry in front of the enmy mostly destroyed, and infantry from other flank couldn't break through german flank to help. Situation was hopless, I surrender and start new battle instead. The main lesson - Zis-30, with it's 20 AP shells need ammo truck parked behind.
