(This question has to have been asked and answered a million times already)

Seems like the human Russian has no where near the units as the AI Russian. Against the AI the German finds every breakthrough instigating a torrent of weak Russian infantry units. The human Russian can't produce any response of that magnitude. Whys that?

As I understand it, the AI is hard coded to have an army consisting of a minimum of a certain number of divisions and/or their equivalents. But the number of actual troops is genuine as listed in the OOB at the time. So, assuming you're doing well as Axis vs the AI, you find constant swarms of AI units but they are badly understrength and easy to defeat. For example, I've seen many AI rifle corps with only about 5K troops, which would be only about a half-strength division.

AI does the same for the Germans when the Soviets are winning.

AI does not have to pay Admin Points to create units in exactly the same way as humans.
The AI can actually handicap itself by creating too many 'shells.' A human won't make that mistake (nor can he since he has to pay full APs for stuff).

Conversely, the German AI doesn't have to garrison cities against partisans. At all.

Fair exchange, really.

I don't understand, I play the russian and yes I have a torrent of weak units to oppose to the german AI. And it is only turn 12, more and more divisions will come.

I play against normal AI. I do not think AI is gaining more units unless you play against a more challenging AI.
