AI Naval Invasions in HOI4

[The Tactician]

This question has been popping in to my head a lot and I wanted to ask and see how everybody else thinks I remember when playing Hearts of Iron 3 for example as france or any other nation other than UK and USA if I lost to germany and my government went in to exile there was no chance what so ever that the AI UK or USA would actually invade mainland Europe it happened sometimes but with small pathetic number of divisions that could just be encircled and defeated right away otherwise the europe would hang in the balance between USSR and Germany and who ever won usually controlled all of europe,so will the AI as USA or UK go for a large army and actually plan a invasion of mainland europe if the player is playing as a minor nation or even if you are germany should you prepare for something like this?

Also loving the new gameplay mechanics love how air and naval warfare have been changed making them actually playable when I played HOI3 as all countries I just simply focused on military alone a little bit of naval when playing Japan UK USA and Italy and didn't even use airplanes because their interface was impossible to use and perform air missions so keep the good work loving the game and dying for it to be released.

The problem in HoI III was, that the AI had massive problems with naval invasions due to the seperate transport ships. They usualy split them up in very small groups that couldnt transport much units, if the AI even managed to do an naval landing. That is one of the 2 main reasons why they decided to get rid off dedicated seperate transport ships and merge them with the convoys, to heaviely help out the AI and to make it easier for the players aswell.

thanks for the help didn't know that but now that I do I think this a really good idea and makes naval invasions actually more fun and easier to do
so still looking forward for the game and hoping for a close release date

What annoyed me was that as france, instead of sending reinforcements to france to assist, the english AI would repeatedly attempt to invade wilhelmshaven. With predictable results. I had flashbacks when Johan then decided it was part of the core AI by doing it himself.

To be fair I think he did that to buy his units time to get out of france on the otherside. He was throwing away colonial troops.
