The largest i had was with extra large fleets. A battle between the english Home Fleet and the german High Seas fleet. It happened in the fall of 1916 at Jutland.
It was fought during daylight with reasonable visibility and ended quite decisivly with a german victory. During this engagement 90% of all english BC where sunk by flash fires after a turrethit...
This battle changed the balance of power so much that afterwards the english where under blockade.

This will sound lame, I just had my biggest battle after buying the game and installing it earlier today. France lost 2 battleships in the engagement and I only had light damage to a merchant. Totally crushing for France and might have won me the war. I am getting my but kicked at defending my own merchants, but oh well.

namurasYeah the AI tends to lean a bit towards the Fischer style of battlecruiser which is always dangerous, I've flashed a number of US battlecruisers though never more then a couple in a single battle. @ krases No worries, before this massive bloodbath my proudest moment was sinking 3 capital ships I think, can't always depend on the AI delivering the decisive battle we crave!

I haven't played but one game that was larger than a 'medium', so 4 v 4 battleships is a large battle for me... but, SINKING ALL FOUR ENEMY BATTLESHIPS is an absolutely HUGE battle.   |

[...] Especially Britain does this... or so it seems. The BC's the AI designed for me as Germany where all of the better armored variety. But then again i redo them all. I haven't played but one game that was larger than a 'medium', so 4 v 4 battleships is a large battle for me... but, SINKING ALL FOUR ENEMY BATTLESHIPS is an absolutely HUGE battle. Try a game as on of the european powers... there will be large fleet battles sooner rather than later. Especially if you go up against the RN  |

I like my 'moderately-sized' fleets. |

It is possible to ride the tension curve and not get rofl stomped by england. But if you play with a bit of hindsight and lots of DDs you can and will be able to stand up to the RN and eventually beat them. In my game it took 3 large battles to not be blockaded anymore, but soooo worth it. |

Oh, I could easily have those kinds of games with the C.S.A. if I wanted to, as I seldom finish the game having less than the 3rd largest naval budget... and then, I'm usually 4th. I just play in Captain's Mode and micro-manage the heck out of things (as a Confederate, I have a disproportionate amount of faith in small ships with torpedoes), so ginormous fleets would be way to hard to command. |

Well, my 2nd playthrough. Here's what occured. 1904 battle of Guernsey:  Historical budgets, fleet battle in the north sea. Turns out the Brits threw their whole battlefleet against me. 16 battleships against my 5 battleships. Was a long drawn-out affair, I managed to cross the T once, then had to run like hell away. Night separated us. But, then our battle lines collided in the dark randomly while I was making for Brest, and again I managed to cross the T (even though the BB "Saint-Juste" got torpedoed in teh process) Amazingly, I broke away and made it to Brest by daw, with Saint-Juste limping at 8knots, almost sunk through flooding. I really thought this would be a minor UK victory and was just glad I survived with all my pre-dread battleships. But then it turns out one of the UK battlewagons failed to made it to port after all. I went 5 battleships against 16 enemy battleships and still came out on top somehow, even if I was made to run for my home port. This game really made me feel like Sheer. Rarely does a game evoke thes esort of emotions in me. Hat's off to you NWS, you made a fine game. |

Oh yea... i keep forgetting about the CSA. And nothing wrong with torpedo boats  Also i wanted a ginormous fleet battle and to have a reliable chance of that happening one needs to go to europe. |

Followup to my last post here - The Brits proved unable to destroy my fleet, despite having one more grand fleet action with all the battleships on both sides (they lost 2 CAs). Their government had collapsed and suddenly France had won the war with Britain. Without any hideously unbelievable fantasy battle result too.
Really, I love this game.
