Wiz we had combined and massive Allied naval invasions

This was something I wished long for HOI3 and the AI was never truly capable to do it. Depending on version and expansion we got very different types of landings, but anything on the level of Invasion of Normandy was never accomplished.

Is the battle system and AI for HOI4 planned to be able to accomplish this? I mean building up a huge combined force of different nations and then landing it on enemy territory?

AFAIK they have talked about issuing commands to allied armies through the battleplan system. I think this doesn't go far enough - you have to be given direct control over allied armies under the correct circumstances (i.e., not controlling the US as Luxembourg, but controlling the Romanian army as Germany).

Good. So the system is there, isn't issuing commands thru battleplan system almost the same as direct command if you control your own armies with that as well? But can this be used to launch a naval invasion (and furthermore, can AI manage something like that)

Normandy is just too big an event in WW2 for a WW2 game to ignore it (or similar actions)

If players can issue allied battle plans, then supposedly so too can the AI.

I'll believe it when I see it, but I doubt it. Will likely be fighting my own war against the Axis playing the USA/UK/Canada as usual.
