Hi, just want to ditto the sentiment that when creating your own fleet, you have far too little spending money. I included a little excel snippet comparing the results of me starting an "auto generated fleet" campaign in 1940 (left) and the total spending money I had from 2 separate "custom" fleet 1940 starts (right). All were done on normal difficulty. I do have screenshots as source for all these values, don't want to spam 10 pictures when a summary would show the situation much better. The quantity of ships does not include 3 BB, 6 CA, and 1 DD that were at various stages of completion. The tests done for custom fleets do not include the one game I actually tried to play, I just did not screenshot so I am not including them. The current total funds that the auto generated fleet seem to be in line with the total funds for custom fleets pre-patch which were usually between 2.5B-3.5B. The campaign I tried to play, I was able to build a single 350M BB and single 250M BC with maybe 100-200M leftover. Before someone reeeee's at me for having too expensive ships and brushes off the actual issue, that's how I've played since I got the game 100 hours ago. I will regularly have 10-20 ships against the 100+ in the Mediterranean. The proof is there that playing with a custom fleet cuts off about 2/3rds of what you'd get with an auto generated fleet. I would be happy to gather more evidence if that is what is needed to resolve this because it is quite frankly not very fun this way. Even if you build cheap ships, you can only get a fraction of what the auto-gen player fleet or AI get. thanks for coming to my ted talk pls let me have my 10 BB/BC only fleets again may edit more later, power may go off soon
