Crap... World Idiot's crazy navy is at it again

Postby world idiot » Tue Dec 04, 2007 9:41 pm

yes, I'm back and for everyones info, I will join the ladder when the Christmas hols start,

right, now onto my (awful) navy, in a 6 player match, how on earth can you make your navy survive. Lots of people tell me to use stealth, but I am finding that difficult, any tips???

In a 6 player, you want to stay away from naval combat if possible - that means unless you're europe (in which case naval combat is pretty much unavoidable), you want to get your carriers (with battleship escorts) into an area where you're likely not to find enemies - so yeah, stealth. The pacific's great for this :)
If you keep your carriers and bombers alive this way, you can use the bombers all for nuking... but remember, it's still a race. -_-

Pfft, just go with Suisilos.

If you are Europe then you should be even more aggressive with your navy because if you try to hold back you will just be sandwiched between the Russian fleet from the east and the America's and Africa from the west. If you try to run above NA then you leave yourself wide open to an attack from the sea, so you either need to crush Russia or blitz the America's.

Suisilos is pretty hard to lose if you know what you're doing, although a good asia or russia player can take it off you. I always push into the USA with my navy and don't bother with Russia - my mainland is usually fully dead soon after my last silos finish firing. (Hiding 3 airbases on Iceland often keeps them alive).

That, my friend, was an accident. But what I do, is usually i try to get a lot of my fleet, and head straight for who I want to nuke first. I set my subs on active mode, and 2 or three of my carriers on anti-sub. Works occasionally.

I have always preferred doing Suisilos with Asia. Stick them all in the middle east, and with a bit of luck you can get cairo, moscow, leningrad, and loads of smaller EU cities.
