6th Air Doctrine

You need to have Army and Air Doctrine finished by war

Try and get Gun 3 by September then limit those on your Marines.

Production

Keep going up on Guns until Italy gets Arti2, put 10 Mills on that and 4 on Romanian AT2(You can go
down on AA and Motorized once u produce Arti2) Later Produce Italian Arti 3 Rocket Arti 1 and then
2 and Romanian AT 3
When u get ur Nav Bombers u put 5 to 10 mills on that and keep it like that for the entire game.

When u get Tactical2 u put 20 Mills on that and 100 Mills on the Zero

Naval Production :

Finish the 2 Carriers you start building(U can use these for gaining naval supremacy and having a
mobile Nav Airbase) make this taskgroup a taskgroup of 4 Carriers using only the Carrier 2s

Finish the Destroyers u start building then start refitting ur Cruisers to Heavy Cruisers and your
Battleships to AA Battleships.

Once you finish refitting (late 39) you can either Build Submarine 2s, Cruiser Submarines or cheap
Destroyer 2s for Escorting and your Mainfleet.

If the USA only builds subs u need to build 16 spotting cruisers and a good amount of destroyer 3s.

Start Building Mills when you get 110+- Civs(with annexed China)
