Transports

[Darkrenown]

Don't think of it as inventing transports, think of it as re-tooling factories to build transports.

Its a bug Your troops can't go on anyone elses transports, no one else's troops can go on yours. If you have military control of someone you can't load their troops onto your transports or theirs.

While I agree theres plenty of things that need fixing in HoI I've found it to be very stable. I've only had 3 CTD's so far, much better than EUII when it came out.

Slightly off-topic, but how do you build convoy transports? (Prob. a really stupid question but I bought the game yesterday).

You have to reseach 'combat troop transpotation' or something. Its a Naval doctrine very near the start of that tech line.

Both loads of troops start off to their destination well until the land force attacks. Upon which the coastal force just forgets everything and is back on the ship in the channel. Again, what the fuck?

P.S. Im not just griping, please let me know if Im doing anything stupid.

You can only land troops in an enemy province is it has a little yellow beach icon. If theres no icon your troops will just 'bounce' back to their ships.

I think you can land troops in your own provinces even is they don't have a beach icon, I'm not 100% sure about that though.

You build a regular transport and it should have an option to send to convoy duty. When you do this it is irreversable, but you will add convoy ships to your pool. This applies to destroyer units as well, only they add escorts.

If I could just add: One transport unit = 20 convoy transports. And one destroyer = 10 escorts.
