AI Ally Offensive Planning

[YourMateGouldie]

Just wondering,

How cooperative will the AI be in HOI4?

As in, if I was playing as the British and was to land my forces in Italy, how can I get the Americans to support me in Italy? Is it possible to suggest plans to the AI?

Is it also possible to ask the AI to send troops? Say, if I was Britain in North Africa and requested troops from SA, Australia and NZ.

This has been asked many times. Off the tope of my head so far the devs have said:

1. We cannot make plans to give or include AI allies.
2. We can see AI battle plans.
3. They can send (small ?) expedition forces that come under our control. edited- I think we can diplo request them too.

I really hope we get allied planning at some point down the line. Playing Hoi3 a lot lately and as Germany I pretty much conquer most historical allies because I hate their random wanderings across my fronts.

I hope there is a "Assume Military Control" for AI allies, I don't know if there was an option like that in HOI3 but HOI2 had it and I loved it.

It's really frustrating in HOI3 when planning offensives. Cause while you can win without the support of allies the combined resources of having allies support you would be so much better.

I've placed country markers on the map but it doesn't seem to do much.

Considering the significance of joint operations and offensives coordinated by the Allies during World War 2 I was hoping HOI4 would allow this with the AI. I suppose it could be something quite hard to accomplish with AI.

I also understand that there's online multiplayer to achieve joint operations with allies but I would have liked to have seen better cooperation with AI.
