It doesn't show what vehicles they use.

The air force is too limited, you need more diversity, name the planes in your air force.

The Navy is too big, I'm 555 Mil and I only have 500 ships.

Show what's in each division... how many they area, blah blah blah...

Though I'm not good at Logistics

Thats not how many ships or planes he has, its how many personel are involved. I'd say thats okay.

I think he means the personel in the navy.

If you show us what vehicles you have then it's perfect. :D

Even in peacetime, you'd probably have about three times that many soldiers/sailors/etc. That's going on 2%. In war, you could have upwards of 5%-7%, so you'd have almost 10 times that many.

Well now you see you went too far the other way. Before you were lowballing your soldiers; now you're highballing. As a rule of thumb, during peacetime, your army's population should be 2%-3% of your total population, and during wartime it can be as high as 5%-7%. Since your population is 9,000,000, a peacetime army would be about 180,000. A nation with 9 million people with an army of 400,000 is preparing for war.

That's alot better. You could even bump up your standing army a bit if you wanted. 250,000 or so. And don't forget that every day your nation gets bigger, so your army can realistically grow too.
