AI amphibious landings?

[unmerged(46221)]

Hello everybody! I did only two games until now and with minor powers to learn and observe... But I never saw the AI do a single amphibious landing. For instance, the Japanese army was defeated in China by the Soviets, their navy by the US. As they had no army on their mainland, I could invade them with 3 marines divs, 3 transports and 1DD, playing Canada!!! Not very realistic...

I've seen occasional amphib landings. If Germany doesnt have a guard on every beach in France and Belgium, the respective nations will land 1-3 units there. Japan also launches amphibs in China and those are more succesful. Otherwise, not much else happens. If you dont play as a major ally or USSR, the world is pretty much helpless in the face of German expansion. Or if your really good as a minor in Europe I guess.

I was nationalist china and I kept waiting for the japs to come back after I threw them out of my country but they never came. and then the british and americans( iwas being belligerent) stacked 60 divisions in hong kong and never invaded?

i made a mistake becaus i was playing as turkey and fight ing france when they landed in anatolia so it really depeands on the skill level of the ai

One of my first games as Germany I had the US and UK constantly trying to invade Norway for me. Since they were so stubborn on using Mot-inf, Arm and HQ-units to do amphib assault I kept kicking them off the beaches with a single garrison-div.

Stoopid AI. But that was in 1.1 I think.

Italy has made amphibious assaults against Malta and Greece

Germany makes them when they do Sealion

I´ve seen Britain do them in Norway, Belgium, Holland, France and Albania

US does them all the time

In my games the AI is not afraid of amphibious warfare...

in my game MEXICO landed into France so it happens

I've played several games now and could also observe some amphibious landings from the AI. But they were never a serious threat! Not enough units attacking, no reinforcements,... I still think that an insular country like Japan or GB are safe vs the AI...

perhaps I need to raise the aggressivness of the ai

 

[Mik1984]

This is not only about aggressiveness, it won't help much. The AI prior to an invasion must think first of building many transport ships and/or transport planes, then of loading units on them and landing in the weakest place, not mentioning eventual winning in air prior to the attack. The CivIII AI is also very weak at landings, interesting that civ and civII or smac had no probems with constructing large invasion fleets, consisting of 4-6 vessels transporting 4 units each.

Yes i will say that the AI shoud be fixed on.
AI is realy not so smart, i have edited safes from sp as experiment, and if you remove a brigade from a div, save and play the save as another nation for a few months, and save and go back to the oter nation, the brigade is still in deploy pool.


Also AI is good in declering war if on Agressive or Furius, but not very smart.
You can land almost verever you want and never meet any resistense of any meaning.
Also the no effectively system ai uses on groups, it dont make 3 mot/mec and 3 panz groups...

AI need improvements

AI is a straggler in the branch

In the last 4 years after Pentium IV was introduced there was a rat race between game producers concerning the graphics. I would be glad to see as much progress being made in terms of AI.

You can find many old games from the 90' who have a decent AI even for nowdays, however in terms of graphics that's impossible.
