How to get Japan to attack Pearl Harbor? Seems broken.
Ok, before I get jumped for the obvious...

1) Playing USA.
2) Have 9 Capital Ships (all show the diamond) home ported and in port at Pearl.
3) Work through the Orange battle plan.
4) No navy patrolling between Japan and Hawaii
5) Nothing, no ships or air craft patrolling in the Hawaii region.

Everytime I start working on Pearl Harbor Gambit, before it completes, Japan declares war without attacking Pearl. This may sound sick, but I WANT JAPAN TO ATTACK PEARL! It has never triggered for me.

So, has anyone seen this trigger where Japan actually does attack Pearl Harbor to start the war with the USA? If so, a video of it happening would be really nice to see. I have looked for one online and can't seem to find one there either.

If this is a known issue, will the developers be addressing getting it fixed?

Thanks all!

On my campaign as USA, it seems that as soon as I put 9 capital ships around Hawaii, Japan started the destruction of Pearl Harbor and swiftly took over the pacific. I cannot do anything at that point since I pre-occupied with...well, communist takeovers in South America as I turned my USA into Communist States of America.

I think it's random, though since I made a North American communist faction instead of joining allies, it may have something to do with Axis being already at war with the Communists.

AI Japan never attacked Pearl in HOI3, Pacific and naval war gets the least attention (from the devs).

Yes this is HOI4, my point was that Paradox didn't give a monkeys in HOI3 so why expect them to change now when they are too busy giving Hungary and Czechs focus trees. They pander to the mass market of arcade game players, who needs a working naval game anyway when you just build 12 width armour and beat a pathetic AI,,,,,, and breathe....
