Overall, the gameplay feels a lot like Company of Heroes 2. However, the AI is absolute trash.

Conquest:
The devs treat it like its their baby, but in reality they just threw it in the dumpster. AI has seemingly infinite resources and an endless pool of infantry. Steam Discussion say winning is a mere legend.

Skirmish (why we play):
Regardless of difficulty, AI will pools its resources and sends one massive wave toward the objectives. AI difficulty affects what type of units they choose (easy=infantry, medium=light, hard=medium/heavy, heroic=armor). It makes no attempt to attack you the player. Thus if I play on, say, hard, the AI will pool its resources and then blitzkrieg the objective.

Summary:
Since the AI only focuses on the objective, you very quickly learn their pathing in all the maps. So you can easily funnel the AI (using barbed wire) into machinegun fire--that's assuming the AI is using infantry and not tanks. Otherwise, if the AI is using tank, they will just camp their spawn and snipe anything that comes in view before steamrolling the objective.

Steam discussions are filled with improvements that need to be made (which the devs do read and respond to), but the devs keep adding broken content we don't ask for.

tl;dr
Call to Arms was taken out of Early Access several years ago, but it very much still in development.
