    Default [HoI2] D-Day Conditions?

    What are the conditions for AI to launch the D-Day invasion?

    I was playing as Germany, expecting their attack which never happened. Both UK and USA still exist, they are both allied and in war with me.

    However, I'm in control of the British Isle, i.e. the Brits only have a part of Africa and India...Is that what stopped the D-Day?

    Umm, what do you think? D-Day was launched from the british isle, so yes, it's your fault.

    No, the British will launch D-Day from Peru if the British Isles are taken.
    I thought about writing something clever, but then I remembered I'm not clever enough.

    Is the AI actually capable of making a landing that won't be pushed back easily? I have always won over Russia by 1942 in my games as Germany, so I have seldom continued playing until 1944.

    Depends. I only saw US landed on France twice in every ten games, and generally Germany left France completely defendless hence it was easy victory for US AI.

    For your answer.

    Play as Italy, leave your continental coastlines undefended and try fight the Brits only in Africa.

    I'd never been annexed before that.

    Fighting Russia is absolutely terrifying. Whenever I think I've amassed a large enough army, I make some progress but then history repeats itself and I find myself surrounded and on the retreat to Berlin.

    How many divisions do you have? What difficulty do you play with? Any mods? I won my first German game in HoI2 without any problems, and now I can break the Russians in a few short months.

    Germany is unrealistically strong in HoI2, so winning a war of attrition is possible. You can amass so much rare materials and oil that you won't have to worry about running out.

    Depends when you fight them. Generally, it is advised don't touch Russia after 1943 (remind my ultimate campaign of invading Soviet as Italy in 1944. The final battles are pretty much 100+ divisions fighting 100+ divisions each time).

    Whenever I play as Germany, the Americans always land near Denmark while the British simply bomb France and do nothing beyond that.

    Manpower is the deciding factor in the kind of war of attrition I am thinking of.

    It's actually been a couple years since I last played as Germany, or indeed, HOI2 (vanilla) but I'm pretty sure it was always normal and I had at least a hundred divisions. Playing the Russians against the Germans is always fun and easy though.

    So, yeah, how 'bout them Japs?

    Note: Last time I checked the Ruskies massive army does not pertain to D-Day.
    I thought about writing something clever, but then I remembered I'm not clever enough.

    does anyone know what the conditions for the AI to prosecute the Overlord invasion is? I am playing a game as Russia and its 1947 and still no allied presence in Europe, even though they took Africa immediately.

    NOT = { war = { country = USA country = ENG } }
    }
    control = { province = 19 data = ENG } # London
    control = { province = 23 data = ENG } # Plymouth


    For it to be triggered in 1942, Germany must be at war with the US (lolderp) France must not control Paris (lolderp), the Soviets must be at war with the Germans the US army must be half the size of the German one, the Soviets must have lost 38% of their national provinces either the Soviets must not control Minsk, or they must not control any two combinations of Moscow, Leningrad or Stalingrad. Same applies in 1943 only the US Army must be 6/10ths the size of the German one, and then 7/10ths for it to be in 1944.

    The UK must exist, and must be at war with Germany, the USA must be allied to the UK, and they must control both London and Plymouth.

    I'm sure that's what that says, but someone can feel free to correct me.

    Ya, although in reality it may not even happen at all even all conditions fulfill; on the other hand, I just saw US AI launch D-Days on Japan in 1944.

    Yeah, to date I've NEVER seen an American D-Day.

    Not one.

    I guess that's because I'm usually the UK, Germany or the Soviets, and the whole affair is either handled by me, impossible or unnecessary, respectively
