who is playing vs elite ai?

Okay see your problem & good you are trying to balance it best of luck. The trouble you have is the AI tries to buy reasonably realisticly, it still probably buys more armour than it should but this was WW2 & vehicles were not that common. Certainly late war Germany had a big shortage not to mention fuel to run them. Bumping into the remains of more than a couple of Tank Co was probably rare & why the likes of the Sherman was adequate just, probably used more vs infantry than armour as it was really mainly an infantry war.
