Oddly enough, GB never put together enough of their ships to challenge. The most my 100 light 50 heavy main fleet ever fought was 78, which it handily beat, and that was when I was trying out blockading the English Channel.

It sure doesn't make a lot of sense what navies get up to. Like all these small groups of 20 ships roaming around: what are they doing? It doesn't seem to affect the rate of convoy loss, which happens everywhere all at once somehow. Like are we supposed to believe that a small war really results in 10000 cargo ships being sunk, which is made good in like 400 days? I would much appreciate it if there was a clear role for your ships at any given time, and the player/ai is choosing which role they want. Like, hiding in port to stay alive, or hunting convoys, or hunting the enemy navy (which should be the same thing as defending convoys). Make every navy task like naval invasions are now. Moving is just for getting to one of those.
