The AI knows where my submarines are and also where the war factory is. Even it is hidden under a gap generator and nuke or weather stormed this. It is possible to change that? Its like cheating.
Well, I think the AI of RA2 always do cheating... AI does not seem to search for enemies by "sight".
If you look at the ai of most games of this era they cheat in this way or else they don't really function.
I already use your ini file since months for skirmish battles. Former name "Extreme AI". Its fun. With this one a few bytes smaller then the old file. I have also no problems. Only one suggestion.

I tested this ini file in Live and in Beta channel. Old Version: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lOQUUEqROTo
Your new updated ini. I give up its to hard :-) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4fJY_lh0T6Y
AFAIK, the AI's vision is never obscurred by the shroud/fog of war.
IE: making gap generators VS ai is useless
One more suggestion
AIBaseSpacing is 2 in your ini
How about set it back to standard value 1. I noticed in many maps the AI is not capable of building every building because lack of building space. Especially on Island maps.
Comparison: AIBaseSpacing=2 https://ibb.co/t4qYQRK
AIBaseSpacing=1 https://ibb.co/FW686DJ
IE: making gap generators VS ai is useless
actually it is not. gap generators avoid AI to use spies and they seem unable to target new units and buildings created in the gap generator.
spy: AI stops sending spies once there is no unit outside the gap that they can mimic
buildings: AI cant target the ore refinery once the original harriers are shot down.
units: same as above, but for valuable units like prism tank etc
so basically it cant really target them far away.
Ask burg about the live stream he saw about this performing ;)
In all seriousness, AI gets upgraded by building extra factories + larger teamtypes. Also more cheeky teamtypes. IE: Black hawks can have tanya + engineer so when you undeploy MCV to prevent capture, Tanya can C4 your MCV. Also, flak tracks can have Engineer + Terror drone if you undeploy MCV to put terror drone inside.
So far all testing and spectating results in the AI not massing units in base and causing lag while increasing difficulty across all levels with the checkbox enabled.
