Hello everyone,

Im playing DD with latest patch and hsr 2.08. Im playing germany currently at level hard/ (ai) agressive. Now (it's augustus 1940) im trying to land somewhere in england, but without any result. My tactic is to bomb the navy out of the english channel (naval strike) Im doing this so a month now. So i though after 30 days of bombing the navy it was time to invade england. I decided first to land on plymouth (plains and little divisions). I move 16 transports (10 inf 39) (6 panzers SS) and did unload transport (not amphibious assault) and order troops to attack. I also order my luftwaffe to interdiction plymouth and my kriegsmarine to bomb the coast. But my troops couldnt win of the 4 inf 36 of the english army. I tried then to invade belfast (with 16 inf 39/they had there 2 inf 36) but with the same result. All possible places to land in england are defended with 2 or more inf.

Im pretty sure this isnt the way to land in england, but i dont know how to do it right :( So what is the best tactic to make a succesfull landing in england at the level hard/ (ai) agressive.
 
There's a stacking penalty for naval invasions. It starts above three divisions and increases with every division after that. Using six brigaded divisions (marines with artillery if possible) is the optimum usually. You're at 1% efficiency with 13 divisions and more.

So i should build at least 6 marines with 6 art. So only with marines i can beat those guys out of plymouth and after that i can land my normal inf?

But if my 6 marines are beaten, i've to wait till they recover or can i attack with normal inf after that? Or should i build for example 30 marines? So i can attack in 5 waves with only marines?

Already thanks for your reply

depends but i guess with 6marines and air support you'll be able to easily defeat the 2 divs the UK has stationed there.

If im correct you also got a bunch of paras maybe you could try to attack with them drop them on the province whilst assaulting the enemy beaches with 6inf divs with Arty and air support tyhat should do the trick.
 
You can attack with normal infs as well, but they have a higher shore attack malus than marines. Attacking in waves works, but I don't think it'll be necessary.

'german general' is correct regarding paratroopers.
