Fleet size at start

[generalcanada]

Hi. I just got RTW2 and have played a couple of medium sized campains but I was wondering which starting fleet size would recreate the jutland size fleets?

For the British, that would be 18 modern dreadnoughts with 6 building, 10 battlecruisers, 20 town cruisers, 15 scout cruisers, 200 destroyers, 29 pre-dreadnoughts and 150 cruisers built before 1907.

For Germany, that would be 17 modern dreadnoughts, 5 battlecruisers, 25 cruisers, and 20 battleships of pre-dreadnought design. Germany also had 10 diesel-powered submarines and 30 petrol-powered submarines.

If I remember correctly, fleet size 12-14 gets you roughly historical Jutland levels. Super large gets close to that. You can see the numerical value for fleet size in your save file, and even manually edit it to be larger than the ones selectable at the start - only drawback is it won't affect your starting fleet size, but your starting fleet will be generally outdated by the time you get to Jutland time periods anyway.

Just for clarification, here is the exact number of ships and types at Jutland, not all the ships in both fleets.

I know how many ships where there. Depending on the size of dleeta you select at the start you can earn more money per month. Which size would allow me to build fleets of approximate size?

From my experience, you have to mod the game to get realistic fleet sizes, but super-large is fairly close
