Give the AI a points advantage, try a 100% one and see if you prefer that. It's on page 2(?) of the preferences in the game launcher programme.

Additionally you can try making it harder for yourself by deliberately handicapping yourself, don't use the latest and greatest MBT, use say leopoard 1 or M48 if West Germans trying to stave off the Soviet steamroller in say the 70s/80s, not the Leo 2s. Dont use any air support, etc.

If you prefer Eastern Bloc, use the East Germans or maybe Romanians (other Warpact forces are available) with a T-55 tank basis in that era and see if that makes things moderately harder for you in installing proper scientific socialism to the Western capitalist running dogs.
