How does the AI behave differently between AI levels, 0, 1, and 2? More aggressive? Better attack sequence? Smarter about which units to attack? I'd really like to know as, I swear, level 2 is much dumber and more likely to give up an entrenchment level of 8 (or any other number) which makes them much easier to kill quickly than they are at level 1. Any help?

I have never figured out the difference between AI=1 and AI=2...it's equally dumb as far as I can see

My experience sample with Level 2 is quite small.
Just 1 resp 2 Afrika Korps Campaigns.

But I noticed no difference to Level 1 as well.

Since I also have no experience with Level 0 either, can anyone with more experience elaborate the Differences please.

Maybe I'm slow in the uptake and Level 0 (as in Mistakes per Turn) ist the toughest One

I also want to know the exact difference.

I experimented and noticed some differences in GC scenarios - the AI was much more aggressive with Level 2, It also spawned some units to defend his cities; with Level 0 and 1 the AI was very passive - staying in one place.
Attack sequence was the same with all levels. It didn't get smarter, but definitely attacked more with Level 2.

I would agree that level 2 is more aggressive, even to abandoning an entrenched position - which isn't smart. I have always taken the buying extra units to be because the level 2 AI is associated with higher difficulty levels where the AI gets more prestige and can simply better afford to buy units.

Try it at Manstein level. AI is a lot more aggressive. Painfully so.

Hmm, AI=2 is the highest level possible. As far as I know, Manstein only changes the way experience and/or prestige is awarded. The AI doesn't get smarter/more aggressive beyond level 2

At Manstein the AI units are str 15 so they get better attack predictions. That would be why they attack more.

That is what I meant.
The enemy feels a lot more confident attacking you when it has 15 str compared to your 10 or weaker str.
