1. I think that the research price for transport ships should be much lower. I have never seen anyone with a level two transport ship however if the price was more similar to militia it would actually be useful and would be something I would consider. It would be something that you can do when you are low on materials.
2. I think the game should add Pt (patrol torpedo) boats. They were used by the US in World War 2 and they were extremely fast and cheap. I think that the PT boat in this game could be given very high speeds with low hp but decent damage to capital ships. They would also be cheap and quick to produce and would be most effective at sinking enemy convoys. They wouldn't have any range but their speed would make up for it.

I like the first suggestion, but I have a little problem with the second: PT boats are not sea-worthy. They require lots of fuel to feed their large engines which their small hull cannot carry. Unlike all the ships currently in-game, PT boats could not cross oceans without constant support by other ships. Even if PT boats were short-ranged in-game, I don't see them having any capabilities that the Naval Bomber doesn't already have.

There are also transport ships that appear out of nowhere and trading can't be blockaded so I think that those same details could be disregarded in this case as well. The reason that they would be better than the naval bomber is because they would be much cheaper and not vulnerable to interceptors.

Submarines are slow. PT boats would be by far the fastest naval unit but with less HP. Probably better anti-air protection.

I actually like both of the suggestions bit for number 1, what is the benefit of it? Its a bit too rare for anyone to even try researching higher level. Number 2 is useful but probably not able to cruise in the middle of the ocean. I would have those protect the coast and great against incoming convoys.
