v1.1.0(c285) AI Death Trap Eastern North Sea

[Schimmelpfennig]

Invasion AI seems to be recklessly over-determined, creating a death trap in Eastern North Sea for ships, planes, divisions and convoys.

I lost track of the numbers of invasions and destroyed convoys (= likely divisions), almost all attacks in Winter. On top even establishing air superiority over the sea zone additionally to the landing zone, plus adding massive losses to their CV planes, did not stop this.

Not sure if you can have a look at total losses from save file as stats seem bugged, but to me it seems you could drain UK and her allies on almost anything there.

For what it's worth: war score seems to back this - unless it's bugged: 7k total German casualties, 261k UK, which actually is more than Poland!

As I did not call any allies in (1939 scenario), it seems likely the major share of those casualties happened in Eastern North Sea. I did hit a number of convoys at other places too, but by far the most right here.

Further results linked to this (or entirely different problems, hard to judge): 2 UK divisions in entire France. One in Bretagne, one in Nice.

One motorized flanking move through Belgium and after their capitulation basically just drive by to Paris, leading to instant French capitulation with some 50 French divisions South not firing a single shot nor moving to defend the capital - and probably another 30 at Maginot contributing exactly the same.
