Russian super tanks

Thanks for the quick feedback!

I understand that a high Russian anti-tank tech matched against a modest German armor result will produce much lower survivability for German tanks, but that doesn't explain the absolute impotence of those German tanks on the giving end. I concentrated on Blitzkrieg early on and switched to Armor once I hit 4 Blitz. So by the time I'm facing these Russian T-2000s, I've got 4 Blitz and 2 Armor results. I expected to take more hits due to my lower armor upgrades, but I didn't expect to have absolutely no ability to inflict hurt while I take those additional hits. If the Russkie has massive anti-tank results, they can't also have massive armor improvements at the same time. Shouldn't I be seeing big damage to me but also big damage to the other side as well? It isn't the hits to me that I'm baffled with - it's the combination of huge hits to the Germans coupled with absolute impotence in their return fire. And as I noted, this is new to GS2.0; I never experienced this in vanilla CEAW.

But maybe the answer is simply in your first sentence - the AI cheats...

That's very interesting, and something I wasn't previously aware of. To what extent does the AI "cheat" with tech? And does it do so for any other aspect of the game? Having some idea about this would enable me to modify my own strategy to counteract it.

You will find these forces in your force pool and they can be redeployed.
