Which is the Best Sea Unit? (Axis&Allies)

Cruisers Video:

[Sooper-Pumpkin]

Everyone knows that Transports are actually the best sea unites when protected by anything except Cruisers or Submarines

[slimtomtano]

Thankyou for this, Axis and Allies Content doesn't need to be this high quality. Yet you do it anyways and its an absolute pleasure to watch!

[PMMagro]

The best unit is the free units you start with that surives until your first turn...

[brianrusso]

I find a battleship to be a good psychological tool, it draws attention to itself and away from other units such as troops on the ground or some lightly defended transports

This video is of legendary quality. You have gained a sub

[jarofsalt]

Oh nice! I've got the G40 itch again and without a local playgroup, videos have been my outlet. Thanks for making these. I'm pretty casual in my games so I always tend towards balanced armies/fleets. Glad to see it did so well!

Great video! Even though it is really difficult to quantify strategic value of an individual unit because of the situational nature of the game, I absolutely love your analysis. Personally, my favorite is sea unit is carrier for it versatility. I think a seriously underrated ability is the jump start carriers can give fighters as they are getting built. Thinking of the 1942.2 map, an American carrier off the coast of DC allows for the mobilization of 2 fighters that can reach France or the UK on the next turn. Another example from the 1942.2 map, a fighters spawning on a UK carrier in SZ 7 can reach Moscow in one move. I am fairly confident this is the fastest way to get air critical support to Moscow and it has the added bonus of putting pressure on the western front.

Again, congrats on another really well done video! Keep it up!

This quality of videos is what brings A&A into the mainstream. Fantastic video mate

Hit absorption matters a lot for a careful player, also 1 destroyer can take out many defending subs with air power. I've done it, more than once or twice

[TheHilltopPillbox]

Great video - Nicely done! I do love me a handful of subs! Carriers are still my go-to when wanting to annoy the enemy...

This is my first video from you. Instant subscribe. You're highlighting why I love naval play in these games and prefer playing Japanese.

Fleet composition all depends on game state. Subs add an amazing punch, battleships negate the ability to trade efficiently, destroyers are necessary for any fleet, fighters are necessary for carrier fleets and defensive play.

It really depends on what you need and when you need it and this decision making separates exceptional from average players.

[michaelgladitsch]

Cruisers are the best because if you win with them, the opponent will rage quit

[declanrussell]

Please continue making these types of videos. I was just wondering about the best fleet composition

[ericsperling]

I would love to see a video about the best fleet compositions in relation to A&A 1942 SE. Specifically, (1) An Allied fleet that defends transports during the invasion of France, (2) A US fleet that's optimized for island hopping, (3) A US fleet meant to defend and scare the Japanese while shifting more resources to Europe, (4) a Japanese fleet optimized for invading India and (5) a Japanese fleet to keep the US at out of the Pacific. The fleets I maintain for scenario 1 are two fleets: a small one in sea zone 10 and a large one in sea 8. I usually have 2 or three destroyers supporting new or returning transports, and 1 carrier, 2 fighters, 1 cruiser and a few destroyers supporting the invasion fleet in sea zone 8. But I wonder if the expense of the carrier and fighters would be better spent on destroyers. For the island hopping, I usually have a carrier, two fighters, a cruiser or battleship, a few destroyers or subs and transports. I'm curious about your thoughts about my fleet selections and also your thoughts on the other fleets.

Great video Corporal ; so happy you are back!

[terrywitzu]

You know you're being watched when you play your first game of A&A w/in a year and suddenly you finally pop up on my Notifications after all of that time! It's a friggin' board game! WTF? Anyway, great vid as usual. I tend to prioritize Destroyers and overlook Subs.
I'll be changing that.
I must say, although you're focusing on the Pacific; so much of it depends on which Nation you're using. I have yet to play "Pacific" where there'd be an even priority b/w nations. Europe, however varies. Yet the U.S, and U.K will always need Transports and Destroyers, and as you've clearly pointed out - Subs!
Thanks for the great tip!

[Sooper-Pumpkin]

I'd say that Battleships are better than presented in this video because of the psychological affect

[johncantone]

I have always been a fan of a balanced fleet

[diamend]

oh my god all the drama and suspense! that was great fun!😅

[vitalsigns]

Yessss! Clegg’s videos are amazing!🎉Thx Clegg! I like aircraft carriers for attack/defense/bluffing, etc., with fighters!
