Our fleet was doomed anyway with English entry (your fleet would have been exterminated if it wasn't for peace being negotiated in 1700, after your backstabbing plans went awry ). Besides, our German possessions were pretty doomed too anyway once Brandenburg decided to be brave when our every neighbour already fought us. It literally took Russia, Poland/Saxony, Brandenburg, England/Hannover and Denmark/Norway to beat the Caroline Army, and we might even have won it if our King would have been able to see the bigger picture instead of just being this stubborn lunatic who happened to be a good warrior on the battlefield. So there.
