Frustration Company of Heroes

For once I tried to play Company of Heroes with a friend of mine who normally plays that game with another friend of ours on expert difficulty. My friend set the game to easy difficulty and yet we were beaten by a huge number of tanks. Afterwards he said that the computer players behaved like they do on expert and not not have behaved like that. For me it means that this is yet another bad balancing case that Relic is so famous for from the first Dawn of War game with its numerous incremental patches and expansions that always ruined the game because nothing was properly balanced.
