Any cheats?
I hate losing. It looks like an very very interesting title. Are there different levels for the AI so I'm not being mopped every time?

The campaign save is a .json text file. You can give yourself (or the AI) more money, crew, tech etc. easily.
It doesnt realy matter if you gift the AI with stuff sadly... they dont realy build all that much.

That said : Cheat, in a game where YOU design a warship? Why bother? If your design is subpar, try again. Campaign is the same : If your designs are good enogh then you wont realy lose all that much. My wins in campaign where soley by "my ships are better designed than the enemy in terms of armor and guns used so victory was certain if not absolute". 1BB of mine is easily able to handle 2 of the enemy at the same time, if your lucky (AI designs their ships as you do btw. but not to the degree of inteligence) the AI puts mediocre guns and armor on their BB while maintaining low speed (16 knots, 230mm MAIN guns and 260mm +2% armor... while i use 305mm guns, at LEAST 20 knots speed and my armor is alway's on max +% and at least 250mm thick(250 + 38% = over 300 wich is enogh to repell all but the heaviest guns, and even they have a high chanze of doing no real damage at all).

You can easily learn the game via those "naval academy" missions too, so you soon learn how to develop a proper ship.

You're missing the point. He's just asking if you CAN cheat, not whether or not it's a "good idea" or whatever.

Every time this comes up in a single(!)player game, someone has to say "cheats bad".
Maybe, because I want to have fun, not caring about realism for a change? The question was more "how?", not "why?"...

Aside from save file editing, it's likely that until there are more stable releases there won't be any cheats, since it's a whole lot of work patch after patch to redo the trainer and find the new values, repair existing options...things like that.

If I may add. Thank you all for your comments. They are appreciated either way. I just hope we can all be friends.

CheatHappens has a trainer for this game too if you wanted to go that route.

hey i was in your boots not long ago.... someone proposed to build lot of BBs.....

Build a fleet consisted only from BBs with high survivability and you will see :D
its an easy exploit, you dont need DDs or cruisers :D

Thank you everyone. I hope everyone stays safe and healthy of the Christmas holiday and into the New Year. To be clear. I think 2022 is going to be a hell of another wild ride.

Yup. You might not want to cheat for a challenge, but I would rather progress in a way that makes it fun for me. Everyone has a different definition of what "fun" is. Options and inclusiveness are NEVER a bad idea.

so yall talk about this but noone has pointed out where exactly the save file is

C:\Users\###you###\AppData\LocalLow\Game Labs\Ultimate Admiral Dreadnoughts\save_0.json

If you are still in 1.05 you can edit it with a txt editor. They have removed this in 1.06 beta which really sucks!
