Would it make sense to require ships to be a certain age before they are allowed to be replaced?
I never knew about torpedo battleship designs until now. Quite the interesting concept.
Is 2,400 miles at full speed good for AH, or would you increase it further? The 1,200 mile operating radius allows the ships to cover the entire Mediterranean from the base at Malta.
A coastal battleship for Texas, to defend the coastline against the navies of the Confederacy and Mexico. Quoted New Mexico, Texas Coastal Battleship laid down 1910 Displacement: 13,879 t light; 14,738 t standard; 17,473 t normal; 19,661 t full load Dimensions: Length overall / water x beam x draught 456.00 ft / 456.00 ft x 88.00 ft x 24.00 ft (normal load) 138.99 m / 138.99 m x 26.82 m x 7.32 m Armament: 6 - 14.00" / 356 mm guns (3x2 guns), 1,600.00lbs / 725.75kg shells, 1910 Model Breech loadi...
I was wondering if anyone has an example of an armored deck carrier I could look at. I am looking at designing one for the game but I am not sure what one should look like and how to do the miscellaneous weights and such (which are obviously a much bigger deal for a carrier than for a dreadnought or other type of large ship).
Quoted Originally posted by BruceDuncan Quoted The deck armor may or may not be a problem so far as stability is concerned. Given the massive amount of hull strength left over, stick an armor belt in to provide some weight lower down. I don't think deck armor is really needed by a training ship, and its removal would certainly help stability. I'd increase the radius of the ship which would also provide mass lower in the hull and is likely to reduce the light tonnage. The drawing itself is inter...
The Pe-3 seems far too small for its capabilities. It weighs only slightly more than a P-38 unloaded and has a lower maximum takeoff weight, but at the same time is supposed to carry a radar and two additional crew members. There was a night fighter version of the P-38 called the P-38M, but it seated only two people and the secondary cockpit was so cramped only short people could fit in it. You might want to make the Pe-3 larger or reduce the amount of crew.
Very nice work with the ships, it must have taken days to do. Do you have any pointers for doing such drawings? I want to learn how to do some.
Quoted Originally posted by BruceDuncan Seriously... If such designs are to have any real worth their radius of action has to be more than 1800 nm, or they are nothing more than glorified coast defense vessels, if that. Protection is admirable, but devoting a third or more of a ship's mass to armor makes it nothing more than a floating fortress. How much range should ships generally have? I know that these ships are a tad short legged, but being Austro-Hungarian they do not really need anything...
Ledeper, what country or general region are the ships meant to operate in?
An AH maximum treaty battleship (at the 50k ton, 18 inch gun limit): Quoted AH Maximum Battleship, Austria-Hungary Battleship laid down 1922 Displacement: 47,365 t light; 50,292 t standard; 52,442 t normal; 54,162 t full load Dimensions: Length overall / water x beam x draught 787.40 ft / 787.40 ft x 118.11 ft x 31.58 ft (normal load) 240.00 m / 240.00 m x 36.00 m x 9.63 m Armament: 12 - 18.11" / 460 mm guns (4x3 guns), 3,306.93lbs / 1,500.00kg shells, 1922 Model Breech loading guns in turrets (...
Any thoughts on these ships thus far? Also, I just realized I messed up the range on the last battlecruiser by accidentally making it 1,500 nm at 12 knots, which would be enough make it the most powerful warship to be anchored at Pola.
Why would someone would remove a turret without adding anything to the ship? That scenario seems unlikely. At the very least you are going to be covering up the hole where the turret used to be somehow, and depending on how draught is measured in Wesworld you might reduce it to have the ship ride higher in the water afterwards so you can reach higher speeds and use more harbors. Smaller guns should be free to remove though, since there are more reasons why they might be removed. Taking out the c...
Your battlecruiser has pretty long legs. Have you considered reducing your fuel load in order to increase the top speed or reduce the tonnage of the ship? You could also use the savings to increase the size of the main guns.
What kind of water purification system will the ships have? It might be worth considering desalinization facilities since it will be difficult to acquire water from land in the event of a natural disaster.
I revised the battlecruiser design a bit more: Kaiser Franz Josef I, Austria-Hungary Battlecruiser laid down 1922 Displacement: 34,179 t light; 35,803 t standard; 36,236 t normal; 36,582 t full load Dimensions: Length overall / water x beam x draught 721.78 ft / 721.78 ft x 104.99 ft x 30.43 ft (normal load) 220.00 m / 220.00 m x 32.00 m x 9.28 m Armament: 8 - 16.54" / 420 mm guns (4x2 guns), 2,204.62lbs / 1,000.00kg shells, 1922 Model Breech loading guns in turrets (on barbettes) on centreline ...
Quoted Originally posted by ALVAMA Where is the Dutch ?!?! I haven't ignored them, they just aren't a great power. The Dutch are in the minor power thread. Feel free to contribute some designs for fast battleships and similar warships for them, they will need them to defend Indonesia in the much more dangerous timeline of my game.
A possible Austro-Hungarian response to the Kongos and similar battlecruisers turned heavy cruisers. Böhmen, Austria-Hungary Large Heavy Cruiser laid down 1922 Displacement: 26,322 t light; 27,574 t standard; 28,906 t normal; 29,971 t full load Dimensions: Length overall / water x beam x draught 721.78 ft / 721.78 ft x 91.86 ft x 29.04 ft (normal load) 220.00 m / 220.00 m x 28.00 m x 8.85 m Armament: 9 - 13.78" / 350 mm guns (3x3 guns), 1,399.94lbs / 635.00kg shells, 1922 Model Breech loading gu...
A treaty battleship for the Austro-Hungarians. Österreich, Austria-Hungary Battleship laid down 1922 Displacement: 38,704 t light; 40,860 t standard; 43,286 t normal; 45,226 t full load Dimensions: Length overall / water x beam x draught 721.78 ft / 721.78 ft x 104.99 ft x 31.99 ft (normal load) 220.00 m / 220.00 m x 32.00 m x 9.75 m Armament: 12 - 16.54" / 420 mm guns (4x3 guns), 2,204.62lbs / 1,000.00kg shells, 1922 Model Breech loading guns in turrets (on barbettes) on centreline ends, evenly...
What do you think of this battlecruiser for the Austro-Hungarian Navy? I know battlecruisers are an unusual choice for Austria-Hungary, but their naval designers produced designs for several of them during World War I, so they had some interest in them. Kaiser Franz Josef I, Austria-Hungary Battlecruiser laid down 1922 Displacement: 32,071 t light; 33,751 t standard; 39,068 t normal; 43,322 t full load Dimensions: Length overall / water x beam x draught 721.78 ft / 721.78 ft x 104.99 ft x 32.81 ...
