SS-6
TR-6
DD-7
CA-10
CV-13
BB-17

FTR-9
TAC-10
BOM-12

INF-3
ART-4
MEC-4
ARM-5
AA-5
MINY IC-9
BIG IC-29

I don’t know - I found the pricing very reasonable so far.

building a BB is a mayor investment and takes time.

even for DDs you need the slips and it could take months

producing (assembling) tanks is done in days…

For the steel used in a BB you could easily build several thousand tanks.

if you compare numbers;: shermans were produced: 55.000 or so (?)

at the end of the war the US had 4000 warships (?) - no sure about the numbers ;)

A German Tank campany (3 platoons) were 17 Tanks - 4 companies to a batallion make 52 tanks…

1944 the Panzer Lehr Division (model division) had 101 Panzer IV and 89 Panzer V (Panther) + 31 Tank Destroyer (IV L48) and just under 10 StuG III and that was FULL STRENGTH.

There were ONLY 43 different Panzerdivisions in the Wehrmacht (+7 SS)

That in mind I think the current prices are quite “historical”

the reason ships cost more than land is because of aircraft…
aircraft cost more than land, and justifiably so
since aircraft can attack both, air links them
so… if you make a DD cost 4… then that means you can have slightly more than 2 DD for every fighter you buy… which would suck for fighters

i think the pricing right now is very very reasonable,
though I do think cruisers should be 11, carriers 14 or 15, and BB 18 or 19

I think Carriers are fine at 16. BB could go down if its proven to be too weak. Other naval units are probably correct.

As of now, in term of price, Ground < Air < Naval. This should be accurate. This game doesn’t take into account some other logistic aspect of real life. Naval ship although expensive, can be used to move troops around (in the game, only transports can) and can carry large cargo (non-existent in the game) of food or other supplies.

Cruisers could do with a cost of 11, really.

If you want more naval battles, then increase the value of the convoy zones.

If you want more naval battles, then increase the value of the convoy zones.

Or increase the number of sea zones to create an air gap.

That could work.
