Navy:

10 Nimitz Aircraft Carriers
10 Cassandra Aircraft Carriers
30 Battleships
60 Destroyers
120 Cruisers

10 Imperial fleets

In each fleet:

1 Nimitz Aircraft Carrier - Revolutionary
1 Cassandra Aircraft Carrier - Sean May
3 battleships
6 destroyers
12 cruisers

Well what I would do is make your navy a bit larger. Even your fleets out. Let's say you got two carriers in a fleet, put like 5 destroyers, 5 cruisers, 5 frigates, ect.

..For your army, I'd suggest this for alot of people. Put a small number, say one million as your active duty and put like 2.5 or 5 million reserves. This way during a war you can bring out like the hidden 10-50 million soldiers.

Works for me lol

How big do you recommend I make my navy?

Also, out of those almost 10 million soldiers only 2 million are active.

Probably should've put that. :wink:

(1)Nimitz Class Aircraft Carrier
(1)Cassandra Class Aircraft Carrier
(6)Armored Falcon Class Submarines
(6)Ticonderoga Class Cruisers
(6)Relentless Class Destroyer's
(6)Beluga Guided Missle Frigate

That's a standard fleet in the Yayo Navy. For a small fleet, I'd suggest something like that. Have your certain number of carriers and then have all the other nessasary vessels[Destroyers, Cruisers, Frigates, Submarines]at an even number so you can split them and have two groups protecting the carriers. It's an odd idea I had a while ago and it wasn't that bad so I did it.

Check your mail. ;)

Not a single good ol' A-10 in the air force, eh?
They are cheaper than the higher tech rockers like the F-16's and 15's, and are a heck of a lot more resilient in ground fighting and cleanup.
Just a thought.. heh.

You need:

*Cruisers
*Frigates
*Submarines
*Ammunition ships
*Oilers
*Ground attack aircraft
*Transport craft
*Submarine tenders
*Minelayers
*Minesweepers
*Helicopters

It takes about 3 people supporting the lines in order to put one soldier out in the field.

Maybe 5, I have to check out what the US does with its army.

And by support, I mean the people who deliver the food, does the paper work, delivers the supplies, act like a bunch of gophers, service the tanks, service the planes, service the soldiers, set up bases, maintain these bases, clean the rifles, polish the shoes...

So, yeah, where are your support personnel?

Army Field Personnel is the same thing as support.
