Basic Fleet Tutorial and meta ENG

As a Polish person who speaks english at good level I was not using any sort of translators etc. etc. If you will spot any mistake in this tutorial (I said something wrong or smth) please dont be mad <3

1. Fleet is literally not that important in SP games, however they have impact on MP games especially when you play as Japan/USA/UK/Italy.

2. Fleet in this game have only 1 task - Give you supremacy on the seas. If you have it - You can be calm - If you dont have it - You are cooked. (Either AI will do naval invasions every two weeks or you will get invaded by other player)

3. We can split fleet on 3 types:
a) Screen Ships
b) Capital Ships
c) Submarines

4. How do we use fleet
a) Screen Ships task is to defend Capital Ships from taking damage and allowing them to nuke ur enemy ships.

b) Capital Ships are the most important aspect of the fleet. They will do most of the damage to the enemy fleet and will provide the most naval superiority.

c) Submarines are ONLY for convoy destroying because their speed would slow down whole fleet and will do big impact to the damage you will receive running away.

In this section we have only 2 types of ships. They are mainly used to protect capital ships and sometimes do some damage (but mostly just protect)

1. First ship in our section will be destroyer. It's main purpose is to be cheap and spammable just to give you the minimum of screening (protection of capital ships)

2. Second and the last ship is Light Cruiser. IMO it's one of the best ship in the game simply because you can protect capital ships and attack screening ships at the same time.

In this section we will look at 4 types of Capital Ships. Their main job is to destroy enemy fleet while taking minimal damage. I will rank those ships from best to worst.

1. Super Heavy Battleship. Yes, it might be strange but with the dlc Götterdämmerung unlocking this special project can give you either nothing or total domination over your enemy.

a) SHB have big amount of armour and you can put powerful guns on ship making them expensive, but if you have resources and time - worth them.

2. Aircraft Carriers. I dont know but paradox made naval supremacy depending not on the amount of ships, but on the amount of manpower on the ships. The carriers have 5000 manpower in them so they give the biggest amount of superiority on the seas.

a) Second thing about them being the 2 best ship is fact, that planes on them do huger amount of damage than normal planes wich make them OP fighting against enemy fleet.

3. Battleships. They are just like SHB but they have worst armour and guns which make them good if you cant afford SHB.

4. Battlecruisers. They are just Battleships with worse armour. (nothing special tbh)

In this section we will talk about Submarines. They should only be used to destroy convoys and raid enemy naval invasions (So basically still destroying convoys)

1. We can all agree that doing Submarines either on SP or MP can be really good especially when enemy cant destroy them and you can watch how their convoys are getting sunk.

a) Submarines can destroy convoys which will lead to basically reducing enemy supplies to 0% (If they need to transport supply by the sea)

b) Destroying enemy troops can be achieved when enemy is doing either naval invasion or is simply transporting troops on the region where you are raiding convoys.

c) Scouting can be achieved when you are not using whole squad of Submarines but by choosing one individually and sailing it near enemy coast

d) Submarines can also reduce enemy trade to 0 by simply killing convoys on the trading route that your enemy is using to buy resources.

Ahhh yes.... Some of you might even skipped my yapping up there and just went straight for the designs. (Please read my tutorial or I will find you)

1. Destroyers

2. Light Cruisers

1. Super Heavy Battleship

2. Aircaft Carrier (Carrier from 1940 is better cuz it's not that expensive but it's better that 1936)

3. Battleship

4. Battlecruiser (Yes it just have less amount of armour and is not that cheaper than cheap Battleship)

1. Only use subs from 1940 as they are the best (Small production cost and they have huge torpedo attack)

Thanks to everyone who have read my tutorial You did read my tutorial and not just scroll down to the designs right ?

We will probably meet again when new dlcs will be published but as always remember:

Glory to me!
