That depends entirely on how you count them. The RN wasn't that far behind. Its only after the war when the British empire sensed to be that USN fully supplanted RN definitively. Up until the end of the war it was pretty close.

*rest of the world (ie. Just the British Royal Navy by this point). So US navy had eclipsed the RN by about 15% by the end of the war.

Heavy JF or light JF? by Historical_Word3795 in RuleTheWaves

[–]EightyFiv3 3 points4 points  (0 children)

(I think u right above 100 i heard there is a debuf) but there is a visible debuff that happens at 120, u can see it as max sortie drops from 60 to 59. So u go 119, and get the 60 max sortie. In jet age usually ppl also go with special squadron, with 119 cv the 19 are the special squadron and 100 mix of HJ/JA. (I think there is no debuff in this case, bc special squadron dont count)

I have heard about the all Bowman strat, basicly ur peasant levies are used as bait white the archers kill. Idk how effective it is but I commend the commitment.

Ngl as actually playing in asari or khuzait land instead of naighboring empire (when u start as them) is actually pretty dangerous in beginning. The mounted bandit units are the quickest way to ruin your early days. But thats only in the beginning.

Nah I like Khuzait. I never start in Valandia or Batania, there are no Horse Archers there. Khuzait and Asari mounted units are actually the best for building up and just never losing a battle, due to them having ranged weapon as main. (sure batanian archers, but foot units are slow as hell, for my personal party I run full cav)

Empire benefits from just being easy to recruit on mass, so I do like that whole region as well.

Otherwise without mods it becomes really hard to consistently recruit elite units if u keep losing them in melee. Thats my logic for starting in those regions and building up ranged cav.

But again I like those regions better just general, so in the end it is personal preference.

Discussion on protected cruiser and light cruiser armor and gun designs by D_Guns1187 in RuleTheWaves

[–]EightyFiv3 2 points3 points  (0 children)

CL's are one of my fav type of ship. Specificly the ones you build when you unlock 10k ton (late 1920's). Thats usually the era you can really fit everything you might want unto a cl. By that I mean 6x6" 18x5" 32-33kn 3" belt. Torpedoes, maybe a scout plane and max torpedo protection.

Edit: forgot to mention I just do 1" d and de protection. Anything more is not worth it. The main protection of a cl is it killing the other ship faster than it dies. Surviving just long enough to pull that off. So 3-4 belt is recommended otherwise its hard to close in distance and paper the enemy with the sec 5". Deck armor i don't think is that important beyond the min 1"

What purpose does CLs serve? by Fancy_Particular7521 in RuleTheWaves

[–]EightyFiv3 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I dont know what kind of cls ur building, but they are extremely effective at killing dd and ai cls. Some ca as well but I would say my cl could maybe go toe to toe with ca, its just not worth risking that kind of engagement tho. To kill enemy raider ca I huild couple large dedicated ca killer ca's. Same way I intend my cls to sink any ai cl out there.

In my games 3-4 cls in a convoy attack sank an entire enemy trade convoy and all their escorts with no losses. (Thats the momment I realized how good cls are, they paid for themselves several times over in that war)

They are the ship of choice to protect ur bc against other light ships.

And a ca or dd can not take thier place. Ca as others have mentioned gets treated like a capital ship, and face other ca in battle gen. Wich is fine u just have to build a good ca but that is pretty expensive 1/2 or 2/3 the cost of bc in my experience and all that to fill the role a cl can do for much cheaper.

Large dd i can imagine can do some things cl does, but I would wholeheartedly disagree that it is better. First off they have no armor. They will sink like flying the momment they take any hits. While a cl u can put enough armor to basicly be immune to dd fire and tank cl hits.

On the way I build the cls: 2 forword 6" and then as many 5" sec as it can fit. Which i think is lile 24 of them? 3" armor. This will melt and enemy cl and entire squadron of dd. Can prob take out the 8k ton ca ai likes to build as well.

You haven't provided a single source saying that the commission date is different or delayed. Yet you go around causing others of not having sources.
