I was hoping that with a destroyer and a tran I would improve my attack/defense value, but also add fodder while making sea lion a possibility. I realize my navy can’t live forever so I’d like my navy to deal some massive damage with help from my air force. Just my initial thoughts. The only thing with the AC is that yes it adds great defense, but it doesn’t add much for offense, and what I was hoping for was some offenseive punch. subs might be cheaper, but offer no defense against an air attack. These were just my initial thoughts about what I was hoping for. :mrgreen:
If you build a carrier instead of a destroyer, you have far more defensive flexibility; you spent 4 IPC more but can land two fighters on the carrier for a decent defense.
If you build a destroyer instead of a carrier, you stand to profit IF the Allies do not respond appropriately.
The big question is - how do you STOP the Allies from responding appropriately?
Remember that
1. You are almost certainly not seriously threatening an invasion of London with a build of just 1 transport.
2. UK goes AFTER G1.
3. UK can build 3 fighters, making for 5 fighter 1 bomber minimum.
I have never seen a German player who keeps the fighters on the CV in the Baltic once the Allied attack is about to go down so essentially 2-3 TP’s, 1 CV, or 1 DD built on G1 all defend about the same in the end.
Benefits of building….
1 CV.
The presence of the fighters usually requires an extra turn of Allied building before the attack is made so you have an extra turn to delay having to build defensively to defend Berlin.
2-3 TP.
Allows for heavy counterattacks into Norway or Karelia or reinforcement of Eastern from Germany or even Western if need be.
1 DD.
none. Don’t do it.
What if Hauptmann-Jager is planning on countering the Allied counter to the G1 buy?
OOOOOO mind games.
Jennifer Connelly. Mm. Yummeh. (+1)

With what? Jennifer Connelly? That’s one smokin’ hot counter if I ever saw one. You could distract your opponent while you build more navy and snatch Russian pieces off the board. Hereafter known as the German Jennifer Connelly response to the Allied response to the German Baltic buildup. Or the JC softcore porn defense for short.
Oh yeah. (+1)

“Connelly’s paternal grandfather was Irish American and her paternal grandmother was a Norwegian American; her maternal grandparents were Jewish, their families having come from Russia and Poland.”

Therefore, we can conclude that Jennifer Connelly is working behind the scenes in Germany to support the Allies.

Her paternal grandmother was captured during the invasion of Norway and is being held hostage. JC is a double agent.

It takes 18 years to build more…you know. And even then you’re related…ewww siiiiiiick. It saves time when you pick from an already established harvest. :-D
This thread went OT fast…

Yeah it did.
IMO, building up you GE navy is a good Idea, But build it in the Med. you already have a BB and Try. all you need is another try, destoyer, and you can throw the carrier in later when the fleet finally starts feeling pressure or starts getting adventerous. I’m sure you will have boughten more planes at some point before this, When you finally want to leave the Med for say England or Us, thats when you build your major Navy build. If you are looking at UK or US that means that Afrika is probably yours, IMO you should take brazil if opportunity presents itself, build IC there then you can base your Med fleet off the coast of Brazil, and still be able to fortify Afrika and your fleet and Threaten US mainland at the same time.
Another Idea is to BUild An IC in France and Launch U-Boats directlly into the Atlantic.n If you get Lucky enough to get wolf packs, this strategy works really well in stopping Allied convoys, and Fleets of all sizes.
I posted several months ago about a German IC in Western on G1, with a fleet unifcation attempt in SZ7 on G2 with a naval build dropped in SZ7.
I posted it as a hairbrained idea.
im doing that fairly well Vs U-505 in the league (don´t know where the game is going exactly but anyway)
i like it becuse it enables germany to “controll” All UK SZ from SZ7.
