New French Submarines in game from the start.[8D]

I'm glad you're getting into the swing of adding units! There's a bit of learning curve but you've obviously got the hang of it.

Hi Myrddraal yes once you have done it a few times,it gets alot easier.The games great by the way,I'm just getting into the swing of doing all the naval stuff,and loving every minute.[:)]

I'm sure you will notice the new city & port of ZADAR added to the map,this is to make up for the loss of the main naval base at POLA on the map.

They certainly look cool, but in this game naval units should be considered as fleets, including various types of ships (as in WW1 Gold), and not individual squadrons (like in SC ww1, if I remember correctly). There were not that many fleets around.

Is that official Keke i.e. do you know what the developers are planning re the patch, or just a comment on how things are a present?

My opinion only.

In the upcoming patch, we're increasing the numbers of naval units. This patch will go into beta very shortly, and all your feedback on how the game plays will be very much appreciated.

Edit:
By 'increasing the numbers' I mean the starting forces, not the unit types

Everyone has their own opinions,and I accept that,the ship art I'm doing is mainly for selfish personal reason,if this game or any game for that matter, had zero naval forces then I would not be playing it period,it would not interest me in the slightest.[8D]

But since World War 1 had thousands of ships in action all over the world,be that convoying divisions,armys whatever from Australia,New Zealand,Canada,America to name but a few.There would have been no world war without the navys of the world.[;)]

The game might be abstracted to fleet sized units,with how many ships per fleet is anyones guess.In my mod,and it will be available to anyone wanting,a much better naval feel to the game,my Fleets / Squadrons call them what you like,are calculated to contain 10 CAPITAL SHIPS + ESCORT DESTROYERS![:'(]

The new Destroyer Flotilla,in my mod equals 15 destroyers per flotilla,I will end by saying that the naval game,is far more interesting,with alot more units around.[:)]
