Generally pacific builds consists of a 2 to 1 ratio of subs-destroyer. Following turn is 5-6 bombers. This forces Japan to start building fleet instead of troops for India/China crush.
I just had to give som additional thumbs up fo9r this comment :D Buying other combat ships than subs, dds (Or CW + ftrs) is rarely correct. the 2 to 1 ratio shos that sean knows how fodder works and how it is the most important thing in these battles.
The only reason to stop buying the subs is if japan for some reason dont respond with fleetbuilding and only buys planes instead. But then you should win anyways :D
which is why i said that it didn’t work against a too planeheavy japan. on theory, the DDs + other surface ships ofc needs to be enough to stop all the planes of japan + 2 rounds of plane only builds of japan.
What would prevent japan from attacking your fleet of subs-destroyers with air and a few destroyers. With 20+ planes they can whipe out your whole fleet with minimal losses as subs cant even hit the planes.
I normaly go for a carrier heavy fleet followed by subs destroyers for attacking power. Ideally i want my carriers to bait an early attack from japan that i can crush in the counter and get his carriers and BB out of the way so anzac and UKP can clean up the rest.

The best players of chess play it like poker; your opponents know your preferences and predilections and it is your job to lure them into the trap of assuming you will act in the same was as before, or the same way the last grandmaster did, or the same way they would.
One of the best anecdotes I’ve ever heard about psyching-out an opponent at chess is the story of a tournament (I forget which grandmasters it involved) for which Player X had, among other things, carefully prepared for the possibility (indeed, the probability) that Player Y was going to use Opening Z, which Player Y was known to be fond of. In game after game during the tournament, Player Y – contrary to expectations – kept using openings other than Opening Z. Player X eventually became so frustrated that he ended up using Opening Z himself.

Man I hear, you, I do this all the time. Maphead and I are working on 42.2, and I keep using his strategies gambits and openers against him (like opposing forces training).
When he does a certain move? magic.
When I do it, first turn failure and reset.

Once Calcutta gets bombed don’t pay down the damage until you save up enough money to pay down and purchase units. Japan will just keep bombing if you keep paying down the damage. Make sure you spend all of the money before they attack Calcutta though, you don’t want to hand them all that money.
This I learned to late, but it applies at all bombed ICs.
