Except nope. They don't have to be completed by month 56. You are leaving 14 months on the table. 70 wasn't some arbitrary number pulled out of thin air, it's exactly the time required to build 5 lots of coastal subs. Ok. Not my fault that schools started teaching students how to pass standardized tests instead of actually teaching. Here's a simple If/Then for you to figure out that they probably didn't cover when you were taught in school. If a submarine takes 14 months to complete and you start building one during month 57, and the war ends during month 70, then will it be completed before the war is over? Yes. Give me a hard one next time. Might think about shelving your arrogance. 57,58,59,60 - that's 4 and leaves you with 10. Arguing about grade school math is worse than arguing about politics.

But I didn't say anything about a war, I said a "70 month timeframe", so the war would end in the beginning of month 71 if that was the discussion. I did also specify coastal subs.

Gentlemen:
Let's put aside the number crunching and barbs. Submarines are much cheaper to build than most surface warships, but require special construction techniques along with steel, copper and rubber. They also require special batteries and those can be difficult to build and test. The submarine does require special training for its crews and much more precise quality control along with more extensive testing. As I have said, you must have an adequate number of shipyards with the capability of building and launching the submarines, transportation system to move the parts and raw materials etc. If you are building a combined fleet with surface ships, building many submarines might be difficult. Anyway, those are my thoughts. The game designers will determine what occurs in the game, certainly not me.

Good idea and all are gentlemen and ladies until proven otherwise, in my playbook. Just remember that we all have our own ideas and thoughts based upon what we have learned and we are entitled to those ideas and thoughts. Let's just express them in a gentlemanly manner respectfully.

Yes! It occurred to me after I hit the post button. But by then it was too late. I'm sorry.

On a side note, I'd love to see submarines be more involved and less abstracted.

I'm, not sure myself what more could be done to them to make them feel more 'involved' without causing more micro. I am not really interested in drilling down into their construction. I believe it would be useful to be able to group the submarines into flotillas, and have control of the flotillas main base. It would then be nice to be able to establish the flotilla's strategic and operational objectives against a particular group of targets.
