I really like this mod and play exclusively with it. It enriches the gameplay enormously, especially with regard to aircraft defense. In my opinion, the new AI Arty feature ruins the balance. It makes the game too easy. All you have to do is move your artillery forward, activate the AI mode and the arty bombs all capture zones until you can safely take them. Since no ammunition is consumed, you don't have to worry about that either. You don't have to worry about reconnaissance either, because the arty also shoots into the fog of war and only stops when everything is actually dead. The enemy arty does not have the same abilities and is powerless. The AI has no counterplay whatsoever.

I suggest you give the enemy arty the same ability and maybe unlimited range to get the player out of the comfort zone. The enemy arty should prioritize the player's arty to mimic Counter Battery Fire. Currently, the enemy arty is far too harmless due to the AI's poor macro, inability to attack suspected enemy positions without direct line of sight, and miserable target selection.
