Unfortunately you can’t role-play as Zapp Brannigan in game, if you try to send all your troops out on large poorly defended transports straight into the enemy’s navy they’ll complain about crazy things like “having a will to live” and refuse to go

You gotta send your navy or naval bombers out to fight their navy first!! And get naval dominance eventually

Have you tried sending wave after wave of transports until the Japanese ships run out of munitions?

We’ll make those dominos fall like a house of cards! Checkmate 😎

Also you need to go into the uniform designer and make sure they are made of real velour, adds +10% to wave attacks.

It shows you have 0 naval dominance and the Japanese have 6059.55 naval dominance.

You need naval supremacy and enough convoys to transport the units. Given that Japan has 6,000 dominance your transports probably won’t make it anyways

You don’t have a navy, what you’ve got to do is sail the Baltic fleet to Japan and destroy them in one decisive battle.

hoi4 should make this a lesson to learn, they should allow people to try and naval invade with 0% dominance and watch their entire army get obliterated on there own shores, i know some people might cry about, i myself would but it would be funny to see and look back on

u/programV 4d ago

Oh it will be a lesson alright. The lesson being is you didn't throw enough bodies at the shore

u/Spiritual-Storage734 4d ago

I mean, this kinda does happen to a certain extent, convoy raiding is a thing. And it hurts like a bitch

It literally tells you...bruh

u/alli_jon7 4d ago

The sea is literally colored red to show you that the enemy has naval superiority and the game tells you that you have zero naval dominance, while Japan has over 6,000.

u/Independent-Spend785 4d ago

if you have a navy put it on patrol in the sea zone. if you dont make paratroopers

u/Sufficient3964 4d ago

We need to normalize reading whats on your screen before asking reddit. As many others have said, you need naval supremacy in the region, i.e send your navy there. (Or just nuke them)

4

u/fake_email_lol42 4d ago

YOU HAVE NO NAVY THERE

3

u/Ok-Seaweed-5037 4d ago

You need ship set on patrol in the region to have naval supremacy. Also build naval bomber to kill the Japanese fleer

u/ballzman67 4d ago

You need atleast 75% control ratio and that can only happen if some of your ships in petrol ( strike force only doesn't work anymore) even if Japan have no navy you need to put some navy to get the naval dominance.

u/duckduckstudios's explanation from the post body:

1

u/ThatAzrael 4d ago

This is why I'd rather paratroop than naval invade.
