Nothing much

With all the ships you bought how much have you expanded your shipyard? Are you able to still accelerate new carriers?

Andy gave me a free 500k nav points in my pool plus 2 more bbs and 7 more cls to arrive in March 42 so far I've expanded like 100 but needed to stop due to supply I'll expand more here in the next month or so

How much do you think you need to expand in total? I am working on my next game with Nomad and am buying ships and trying to decide if I need to expand and how much... Over expansion is a waste of resource so I'm looking to be conservative on my expansion. But I want to be able to build my normal ships PLUS the new ones.

Xargun

[deaniks]

It depends on how much you want to add. I recommend stopping all the subs and probably expanding a minimum of 200 and probably a max of 400 I still need to expand mine more

I like my IJN subs but they cost to much. A decent IJN sub is 26 or 33 points per day.. a CV is only 60 or 90 a day... Thanks for the info. Once Nomad and I get a bit further in our new game setup I will post my picks and let everyone make fun of me

Xargun

[JanSako]

I like IJN subs a lot too. Is it possible in a Variants game to bring their upgrades forward? If they can get radars at around '43 they would be worth a lot more.
