  • This HoI4 AI-only "historic" scenario explores what outcome on WW2 would Japan as a superior naval power have. More specifically, or simply put, if it can invade United States and succeed. For that purpose it will receive x20 Super Carrier IV's and x20 Battleship IV's. Can Japan do it?

    I feel like Japan had some other buffs because they defeated China already in early 1938 and had little bit less than 40k casualties

    These never play out the way I would try them.
    Japan had the perfect moment to backstab the Soviets while they were still distracted with the Germans, after Japan had secured India and, but before trying to jump the USA. Getting its hands on all that Soviet resources, and land would have been really helpful in an eventual USA invasion. Doubly so if it kept the Germans alive to distract the allies in the other direction.

      @@ursosexmachina Japan did consider invading Soviet Union, however it was largely unprofitable and would cause more problems
      - Japan got their army destroyed at Khalkin-Gol border incident against the Red Army, which was suffering from purges. How were they going to attack them a few years later when they got better?
      - Siberia had resources, but they were largely untouched and needed proper machinery, as opposed to easily-available resources in southern asian colonies.
      - Japan was an ally of Germany out of convenience, their attack would help Germany as Stalin wouldn't be able to redirect troups from Siberia experienced in winter, but Japan wouldn't get anything out of it. This just wasn't their game.
      What Japan COULD do but they didn't was sinking US Lend-Lease ships to the Soviet Union, however Japan had a non-aggression pact with them and feared Manchuria being attacked while they were waist-deep in China if they dared to attack these ships.

    I remember playing as Italy, joined Japan in order to annex Germany and form Roman Empire.
    EEUU accepted military access, so I moved 100 divisions to east coast.
    They declared war in me since Japan declared on them
    I spent 1 year only building naval bases so I could have supply and Canada's attrition was worse than Africa.

    Japan's victory was less about its own forces and more about the Allies not being able to support the US due to the Soviet invasion. Allies could easily beat either Japan or the Comintern, but not both at once. If the scenario went on further, I think the allies could possibly pull out a victory, given that they have nearly as many troops as the other two combined.

      He tried a similar scenario where Japan and Germany invaded the US at the same time. Japan only got 2-3 states on the West Coast plus, for some odd reason, Louisiana.
      Germany quickly declared war on Japan and took those states. Eventually Japan was invaded and lost.

    (I repost since my initial comment might have been deleted, don't know if it was me(when I deleted a modif to my comment because it didn't work at all, maybe it was already deleted) , you or because I said 'no need for India-China non core manpower, only initial manpower)
    Maybe make USA as a different part of allies, to see the moment they decide they want to join ww2 and create an army (to see the different in army size) and then say ww2 was about them and they won it on their own without any allies, blindfolded, with their arms tied behind their back😂

      (but my liking is probably because I love as german/soviet/others, watching them bash my lines until 0 manpower, then I often tag the other side and give them with decision cheat 100%mobilisation speed, to see that they still have 14M manpower to spend, with their last stand (everyone fight) policy)
