I think that even then, Yorkshire is best used for defence, rather than offence. And if you're going for two builds, you can still convoy out of edi using north.
As to my idea of turkey encouraging a 3-build germany? It stems from my strong belief that germany and russia are natural enemies, one can't do well without the other doing poorly (exceptions to every rule, yadda yadda).
And, if you're part of a juggernaut, russia helps you to grow past the natural block that turkey often hits, while best-case scenario: he hits a roadblock in germany, right around the time that you no longer need his help, worst-case, he eliminates germany, and you continue the juggernaut as planned.
Perhaps, even encouraging a sealion combo would help, but that's another subject, entirely.
