Russian's tank is not overpowered. just check the defense before you attack...... Myself, I win the game with a step to decoy the AI. ??How to decoy?? Breakthrough their formidable first defense first then put 1 division in 1 province then running around capturing their rich province. Don't stop run. The AI always attacks adjacent enemy province consist with weaker force...... One of the worst AI decision in my game, they have 20 tank just at Danzig. I got 1 decoy infantry at Prussia. They didn't attack my only Production City, Berlin, which in that time just have 5 tank.
