Building transports

[Estonianzulu]

I recently played a game as Brazil, I wanted to build transports, but could not find how!

Is there no pre-war transports? Or do you not build them like other flotillas?

You have to research "Combat Unit Transport Procedure", or something like that (either naval research or a naval doctrine). For some reason Brazil doesn't start with it.

Lol I had the exact same province as Brazil and couldn't find how to build transports until 1946 or something. Instead I had to research paratrooper technology to make paradrops to take over the small island nations which also took a while

Ok, I wondered, because as Germany and England I could, so I figured it was some sort of research.

There's also a hard-coded flag in the save game for each country which allows or disallows certain techs even if you've researched them. In the case of Brazil, transports are not allowed.

I've said elsewhere that the first thing I do in any game is save on January 1, 1936, then go into the save game file and change these flags so that any country can have any tech so long as they wish to put the work in. I've not seen any Albanian aircraft carriers or Siamese submarines, so it doesn't seem to hurt.

They can, Paul is mistaken. Research combat unit transport doctrine in naval tech. Any country can research any tech (if they have the IC) and get the benefits.

There's something going on. I played Brazil in my first game, and researched all the necessary techs, and couldn't get transports until I went in and edited the file.

Neither does SU

I asked this same thing a week or so back. The thread is probably buried by now. I was told this would be fixed in the next patch.

Brazil had No navy whatsoever. They relied on Britain, Portugal, and The US for Convoy's.

Hmm, well I played Brazil in my first game and got them fine, but I'll go check again...

All I have to do to get them if research 'combat unit transport procedure', which is a level 0 naval app. You can research it right away.
