Does AI gets a bonus or something?
I tried playing Italy two times and got ROFLstomped by AH both times.
I usually struggle to maintain 4 Bs, 4 CAs, 4 CLs and 16-24 DDs (all shortlegged not cramped) due to poor budget, while AH has 9 Bs, 16 CAs etc.
Same thing with my game for Germany vs SU. While I prevailed it was funny to look into almanach and see 7 BBs, 12 BCs and like 24 CAs. Then go to play SU and be barely able to build may be a 25% of what AI usually builds.

How much are you using mothballs and reserve fleet when not at war? I've learned that you need to be ruthless in this respect in order to have budget to build. For example, I often have only 1-ish each of BB and BC active when at peace, and have gotten the "more than 1/2 your fleet is in mothballs" warning message more than once.

For example, I often have only 1-ish each of BB and BC active when at peace, and have gotten the "more than 1/2 your fleet is in mothballs" warning message more than once. Everything RF, old ships MB, old DDs and KEs MB, half DDs RF half AF. I'll see if I still have the save I can post Almanach screen. Funny thing I never have such problem playing as US, UK, DE, JP or SU. It's Italy and AH which are real hard to play. The issue is not me not building enough, it's AI going bonkers on construction speed and budgets. BTW, in my current game as France, Germany spamming BBs and BC like there is no tomorrow, budget is 100 mils above mine while I am struggling with 15 mils in construction. I just finished grinding down 20+ german Bs, now have to deal with 15" 10 guns BBs. If it wasn't for my ally UK i'd be toast.

Alright, not much happened this decade except getting into a very quick and deeply upsetting war with Russia as i lost 2 CA in the peace deal. Russia's gearing up to go again, only this time i actually have a good number of BBs and BCs.
