so in multiplayer at germany you have to make surface fleets with those house rules.. do you change naval doctorine line to surface line? or stay in sub line?
and still make surface fleets? which is best surface fleet type.. CV:s or BB&CA? those rules are nice i think.. do people use these rules offen?
Under those rules, you don't
have to make surface ships. You only do if you plan to defeat the Royal Navy on the high seas.
P.S.:
Under those rules (no torpedoes on surface ships), you can't make 30 CA + Torpedo, but you can make CV fleets. You can also make 30x CA fleets if you want (but no torpedoes). You can also make BB+Escort fleets, etc. My suggestion as Germany in a multiplayer game:
1. The human USSR is your worst enemy, so focus on destroying it first. That means little spare IC to build ships.
2. You probably won't be able to successfully invade a human UK before you get nukes, if ever. There is no reason to try to achieve naval superiority before you plan on trying to invade the UK, especially given the focus on the USSR.
3. By 1943/4, you'd be facing a combined Royal Navy + USA presence. If you haven't won the war against the USSR yet, you're probably screwed. If you have defeated the USSR, the time has come to pick - air superiority or ships. Not an easy choice, given the insurmountable naval odds.
4. So... not at all sure you should try to build a large, or even any surface fleet at all.
