What is "Tora! Tora! Tora!" in HoI4?

[billcorr]

You get a bonus called Tora! Tora! Tora! To compensate as Japan, it greatly boosts your port strikes for a while

How does Japan get the bonus called Tora! Tora! Tora! ? [decision or national focus or scripting?]


I've looked for information in the HoI4 wikipedia, Reddit, and Google. My googling skills are a bit weak, perhaps.

What are the specific bonuses given to Japan (for 180 days, AFAIK)?

pretty sure this is it

EDIT: this is the decision too:

Many thanks!

There was a thread about the lack of Pearl Harbor. Isn't the above the replacement for Pearl Harbor?

Instead of a "hard" Pearl Harbor, we have a "soft" Surprise attack.

Ironside112 beat me to the punch but yeah it's in the Hearts of Iron IV/common/decisions/JAP.txt file for the decision.

Spoiler: The decision

[/B] operations = { JAP_tora_tora_tora = { allowed = { original_tag = JAP } icon = decision_generic_naval available = { OR = { has_war_with = HOL has_war_with = ENG has_war_with = USA has_war_with = FRA } } is_good = no fire_only_once = yes days_mission_timeout = 180 activation = { has_completed_focus = JAP_strike_on_the_southern_resource_area } visible = { has_completed_focus = JAP_strike_on_the_southern_resource_area } complete_effect = { add_timed_idea = { idea = JAP_tora_tora_tora_idea days = 180 } } } [B]

Spoiler: The Idea

[/B] JAP_tora_tora_tora_idea = { allowed = { always = no } allowed_civil_war = { always = yes } removal_cost = -1 picture = generic_navy_carrier_bonus modifier = { port_strike = 1 carrier_capacity_penalty_reduction = -0.5 sortie_efficiency = 0.5 naval_strike_attack_factor = 0.12 naval_strike_targetting_factor = 0.12 naval_strike_agility_factor = 0.12 } } [B]

My understanding of the modifier is 100% port strike, -50% carry capacity penalty, 50% sortie efficiency, 12% naval strike attack factor, 12% naval strike targetting, and 12% agility factor.

I don't actually play much with ships so I don't know how powerful the buffs are. But I imagine it's deliberately overpowered to compensate for the lack of a "hard" Pearl Harbor
