Yeah but one needs to be made up to fill the research tree.
Right.

"I came, I saw, I conquered" Written in a report to Rome 47 B.C., after conquering Pharnaces at Zela in Asia Minor in just five days; as quoted in Life of Caesar by Plutarch; reported to have been inscribed on one of the decorated wagons in the Pontic triumph, in Lives of the Twelve Caesars, Julius, by Suetonius.

Yeah, but I had to fill it up with something.

It's odd...the Brits have nuclear submarines, but even the new Queen Elizabeth Class carriers are non-nuclear. Quite a shame. If they were indeed nuclear warships, and also the second largest class of carrier, then Britannia could begin to once again rule the waves.

But what can you expect.....just comes down to good old money and politics

I think the newest subs are diesel-electric too. Albeit those are quieter than nuclear powered ones.

Britain was a world power, it had nuclear weapons, but until 1950-1960

Well, its generally agreed that Britain's superpower status came to an end with the Suez Crisis of 1956. Also, the Brits of course retain nuclear-tipped Trident Submarine-Launched Ballistic Missiles on a fleet of SSBNs. Still a shame they never got nuclear carriers.

Quick question: how quiet and how 'good' in general terms are diesel-powered subs?

Very quiet, fairly good. Nowadays the limiting factor is food. They can recycle wee-wee's to make more water and the fuel lasts ages.

We should try and get as many countries as possible to have their own research trees...

Yes! It's very good idea.

Most countries can't though, not even main aggressors like the Italians.

Why not exactly though?

The Italians had very little gear. The biggest problems are naval forces, air forces and armour. Especially the armour. The Italians had very little medium armour and no heavy armour. Not enough strategic or tactical bombers as well. Same for CV's and for BB, you would be scraping the bottom of the barrel. Lacked more or less all special weapons and had few to no subs.

Fair enough. However accuracy doesn't matter that much when it comes to unit designs. If it comes to it, they could just have the same medium tank design as the Germans.

As long as the Italians have their pasta I'm sure they won't mind :P

But in all seriousness, it is certainly a good idea to have as many tech trees as possible. If there must be minor overlap, so be it. Also, I think it can be agreed that the most immediate one we'd wanna have is the British tree

It's good idea! For example, the Soviet Union would have more types of units, for example Katyusha.
