The all-DD campaign was both easy and tedious- managing hundreds of DDs was tedious, but you could kill about everything. IMO the most painful ship is the 1890 start CA. They don't refit well, the hull available size grows quickly, and frequently the hulls won't support mark 3 main guns. So, here is my latest 'fleet problem'. 1890 start, nothing but CAs. Allow a single TB or DD design that is fitted as a minesweeper (or minelayer/ minesweeper), since CAs in the game can carry depth charges the TB / ...

1900, China. Design and initial build strategy- three classes of DDs. One optimized for port defense / minelaying, one for general battle with torpedo / gun balance, one as a long range commerce raider with focus on range. Use one of the research flasks for better torpedoes, leave the rest alone (except to push turbines). Built 10 minelayers for each port, 40 commerce raiders, 200 general battle DDs as initial fleet. Adopt a generally defensive posture (not using 'increase tension', let the wars c...

There are too many wrong calculations, from visibility up to construction and finances . In a battle despite the AI to have a BB and you a tiny 800 kg DD , he will spot you first, and then with a guided missile will hit you despite you go 40 Knots ..... I hope there is a mod that has repaired this kind of crap.....

USA declares war, turns up with a fleet outside the north-west of Germany, an invasion dot appears, I cant attack the fleet in that invasion, they are half of the force of required invasion force, and I loose half of Germany. Why is it impossible to engage a fleet that is in invasion mode?...

Versus Jeune ecole. Trying a 1900 A-H campaign building only battleships and a limited number of DDs purpose focused on minesweeping / antisubmarine / minelaying. 1.7 plain no mods. Initial economic setup was max transport growth, 25% crew training, 70% research, build shipyard (24 month so max there). Able to build 30 BBs and 36 of the purpose DDs for my starting fleet. Within 2-3 turns researched dreadnoughts, so started 2 under construction. Still OK on economy. Set the DDs to 'Defend' as soon ...
