I've found the templates available to the AI to be too easy to defeat, so I decided to slowly fix this over time by giving templates that I've saved over my playthroughs to vanilla nations for the AI to use. So far, this collection includes a combined 1,065 templates across all ship types. These templates are frequently historically inspired, but I make no claim to historical accuracy, and the templates in general lean towards the side of 'meta' performance over being completely accurate (e.g. templates rarely have secondary casemates due to the flotation penalty, and when they do, it is in the form of few high caliber guns for maximum effective performance with minimal incurred penalty). That said, not all ships are created equal, some are built around doctrines the AI will not be able to pull off reliably, and some are legitimately bad ideas I've tried to make as feasible as I can. Gotta add national flavor somehow
Many of these templates are named such that they are compatible with https://nws-online.proboards.com/thread ... -pack-rtw3⁠, except in a few cases where I wanted to change those ships specifically (e.g. BC4U0).

The nations included are the US, France, Germany, Japan, and China. Only the US is in a state I'd call finished, with France, Germany, and Japan currently at era 6, and China technically existing. Each nation is stored in its own folder and so can be added individually as you like.
Many of these templates are vanilla in origin, or generic templates that I have assigned to the nation matching the style used in the template, for which I have rationalized and re-balanced armor and ammo to be more effective, with an aim of keeping weight within the same general area.

Also, bear in mind that some templates are not feasible to create in their era without a speed table mod like https://nws-online.proboards.com/thread ... ships-july, the specific one I used while creating them is the New Speed Mod found on the RTW discord by Metesky.
Some templates have equipment from https://nws-online.proboards.com/thread ... -equipment and RtW 3 IRL Jet Equipment Pieces (found on the RTW discord by yobeefjerky), but these are mostly planes and don't detract much from the templates if they are missing.
