Just as it says in the title: HOW to do it? I'm playing with Serbia and I have Poland and Austria as my allies. Ottos almost ate Byz but they left them Constantinople so its still not over. How am I to procede? I annexed Bosnia and Ragusa, Wallachia is my vassal and I started creating Croatia, they have only Slavonia but it will grow soon enough. But that all doesn't give me the means to fight against Ottomans, they are much much stronger than I am, and I can't parry them with my navy sine I have 2 coastal provinces. So I'd have to battle them on land which equals doom. How do I do it? Any suggestions? How do you guys do it?

Hungary/Austria/Poland+Lithuania should be able to eat them alive even without your help. If you can't get Hungary as an ally, then eat them. Poland and Austria love eating Hungary.

If you can get Poland/Austria to join(especially if Poland has the PU) it should be relatively easy. How big is their navy at this point? Galleys are super cheap so a low force limit isn't necessarily insurmountable. If Venice doesn't hate you maybe try to ally them as well. Aragon/Castille might be a little harder, but they're also capable of smashing the otto navy for you.
