I don't know about anyone else, but I'm finding you are seriously out matched in this start as both China and Russia are gunning for you. China you could handle but Russia just far out numbers you and blockades you to death. Anyone else managed to figure this start out?

While you are at it, could you please make it so that the turrtes return to the neutral position when they have no longer a target acquired. Thank you!

There are 2 good options for playing japan 1890. The first one is to pay them of and rush mass BB of around 10000t. The seconed option is to start with no ships and gain passive good relation with them until it is at +20 with both empires.

In the first case is it importet to try to use torpedo boats to get a meeting engment and a manual battle (Not auto-resolve) with the russain doomstack to force it back to port and lowering its power projection. It can allow you to isolate and sink russian ship to avoid another blockade. China is a paper tiger and strong CA can generate alot of VP by sinking transports in convoy raiding or sink any chinese warship that chooses to fight. The strategiy should be centered around the BB which should be capeable enought to sink russian and later chinese BB meaning war should be avoided until you have a lot of BB active. This should take around 33 turns to do the fastest (15turns dockyard expation + 14 turns build time + 2 turns commisisoning).

In the second case is it importent to be patient and wait until the threat of war with both Russia and China is over and then think about when to start building your navy. This also allow you to choose when the war should start and you should at that point be too strong to be blockaded by Russia. As there are no ship that need maintainence if no ships are built from the strat allows you to focus on dockyard, crewpool, transports and research which can lead to you getting ahead on research and build larger ships.

It is important to keep an eye on Germany with both options due to their port in china which they will defened it with there entire fleet if a war strat between you and Germany starts.

If you're able to just leave your fleet in Sasebo, your fleet will sortie to the targets. Don't worry about numbers differences, once in the battle just seek the enemy out and fight. You'll find their initial fleets are not as good as yours, as long as you are designing your own ships initially.

If you can't afford that, manually send enough fleet to sea so that Sasebo isn't overloaded.

I abuse the AI and I don't have this kind of issue. Try build more ships with cheap cost and be aggressive.

True, but you should be able to break the blockade, by just merely damaging ships you can sent them back to Russia proper. It will take them a very long time to repair and recover, which should be enough for you to regain enough power to break the blockade.
