You don't need good equipment to win a war against somebody. The fact that Prussia defeated France in real life is, if anything, a testament to their excellent leadership and strategy - which, by the way, is well-represented here with an army level superior to everyone else.

That does not alter the truth. Nobody is saying that the British navy should take a cut compared to reality. And considering the odds of Britain getting navally gangbanged are far lower than Prussia's odds of getting multifront invaded, an argument far stronger than "You are strong enough because reasons" is needed to negate reality.
