Questions:

What researchs are more useful? How many points must be purchased for reasearch?

Make submarine warfare is useful for Germany?

The most useful research is probably gas and trenches.

For the TE gas is necessary to try to catch the CP's initial advantage and hopefully negate some of it.  For the CP it is necessary to maintain an advantage to have a good chance of capturing Paris or quickly over-running Italy.

Trenches are self explanatory I hope :)

The next most useful IMO are artillery and aircraft.  High level artillery can inflict a constant drain of casualties - quite heavy ones if the enemy is not well entrenched.  And aircraf improve the effectiveness of artillery by spotting, and also decrease the effectiveness of enemy spotting if you have a tech advantage by shooting him down!

Assault or tanks are useful at the end of the game if you have a surplus of equipment over manpower - which you prefer will be a matter of taste - tanks use a lot of equipment so are probably easier for the TE than the CP.

Anti-submarine is long term research, but apparently does make a significant difference.

The only thing the CP can do to improve the effectiveness of u-boats is engage in unlimited submarine warfare - but that will usually only be useful in 1915 and 1916 when the Brits have limid numbers of transports and are trying to get the army to France - after that it becomes less and less useful & just bring the USA into the war faster - so there's not much point building u-boats in 1916 IMO.

Thanks, can I ask usually how many research point is useful to purchase for strategic turn?

AS many as you can spare! :)

At the start always at least 1 for gas for both sides,  2 if you can afford it & the 2nd on trenches.  As production ramps up you can increase that to 3 - if things are going well I'll be buying 4 per turn by mid-2nd 1916..

If things aren't going well you'll find your 2 per turn will leave you well behind & you'll notice the differences - his artillery will be 4 or 5...you'll be losing some aircraft per turn, he's at 3 or 4 trench you're still at 2, etc.
