Alliances, how they should be treated and Ship sharing

[Vape]

FL is more based on the times of WWI/WWII, not present day, in both combat structure, gameplay(pirating, etc...), and politics.

During those times, each nation, regardless of alliances, had their own equipment. Why? (And, I mean why as in for what, not addressing you, Why?) Simply because all of the nations were on the same level in terms of political, economic, and military power. In contrast to today, where the USA and one or two other countries more or less dominate the world's power scene. In FL, like the world of WWI/WWII, the houses(nations) are on the same plane.

Ingame, they do make it obvious that Liberty has the most powerful navy in general, followed closely by Rheinland, then Kusari, and Bretonia. But it is also clear that none of the houses can easily take another out one on one.

As a result, if we look at how the alliances worked then, ship sharing should not really take place in a similar situation(the FL universe). In WWII, the British had the Spitfire...you never saw them with Hawker Hurricanes or Mustangs. The Russians had their own thing. The Japanese didn't fly Stukas, and the Germans sure didn't field AM6 Zeros.

I can, however, understand if Hessians choose to use Sabres over the Odin, or if Lib Navy uses Avengers instead of Guardians.

ahem, first of all, the British MADE the Hawker Hurricane
secondly, the US sold them fighters and ships (lend lease treaty, remember that?) fighter wise, we sold em B-24 Liberators, P-40s (i think), P-51s, and others. We also sold em guns and tanks. The m3 grant tank, the sherman, and others.
