Naval exp

[SharpX]

How do you get more naval exp ? I try to get the doctrine achievement, but in each game I at most get 2 naval doctrine branches done.
I haven't got any problems with Air- and army doctrine.
I do not have NSB DLC
EDIT; master of war achievement

Exercise your navy, get an advisor, get into naval combat.

More ships = more exp. Build more.

So should I build big ships for exp or just spam subs ?

I'd say just build your Navy as your doctrine demands. If you're playing Germany then spam subs, if you're playing the USA then spam destroyers, etc.
Spamming subs 100% will destroy an enemy AI Navy. It's your choice to do anything else.

Best you can do is rush the chief of navy, and sacrifice a infantry-specialist for navy. Most naval currency comes from training noob ships to lvl 3. After lvl3 the gain drops.

As for naval combat. Killing transports give almost no xp. Most xp comes from killing subs and destroyers by protecting your own transports. Make silly trade agreements for naval xp and superiority

even a relatively small fleet will create a large amount of XP from exercising

a very large navy can generate, sometimes, over 1 XP per day just from exercises

This is what makes playing the USA comically easy and one of the best to learn naval stuff on. I remember getting like 1.2 exp a day and still being positive on oil/fleet production.

You can literally just combine your entire starting navy into one fleet and just exercise it for 3 years straight. You've got unlimited oil and dockyards to just mess around, throw in the free exp/research buffs and you can get advanced ship parts fast/early and mass produce them.

I remember going into war with exactly 200 destroyers and 200 submarines in 4 (20x10) fleets and just demolishing the AI's navy while never losing any convoys myself. I only used the starting capital ships to help provide shore bombardment, naval bombers took care of all the dangerous enemy surface ships.
The USA is a lot more fun the people then people think, the only problem is sitting around for like 4 years clicking menus (and depending on the AI for a lot more than I'd like.)
It's fun being able to put serious dedication into a navy/strat bomber airforce that you really can't as other highly played countries like Germany/USSR/Japan.

it'd be cool if the AI navy couldn't be meme'd on by submarines
