Good to see TT's on the second design, the cadets need to know how to handle tin fish. I do note that the 152mm guns on the 6-gun version are DP while those on the 4-gun version are not. Is this a deliberate decision?
Quoted from "BruceDuncan" Nordhausen, German Frigate laid down 1948 Shells per gun, main battery: 1,200 I agree, that's a LOT of ammo. Cut it in half and use the savings for other things...
Quoted from "BruceDuncan" Quoted from "eltf177" Is the Main Battery in a "Myoko"/"Brooklyn"-type layout or a "Mogami"-type layout? The intent is Brooklyn. Thanks, just curious. Nice design BTW!
Is the Main Battery in a "Myoko"/"Brooklyn"-type layout or a "Mogami"-type layout?
Very nice, but miscellaneous weight doesn't add up...
Shouldn't Courage have one superfiring 3-inch gun?
It is, he's the one who started my interest in hypothetical warships and Springsharp...
Very good for your first time. Just a few things: 1) The battleship needs half of the Main Battery superfiring, much of the Light AA Battery also need to be raised. 2) Seakeeping on the battleship is poor, might want to try and fix that. 3) Personally I would give the battleship some miscellaneous weight You managed to get a TDS on the light cruiser but kept full belt protection, that isn't easy!
I really like Magnificent, big and a brute. However, was the non-inclusion of Conning Tower armor a deliberate design choice?
Very nice, but I would consider adding more Main Battery rounds. Being fully automatic she's going to empty magazines in a hurry...
Quoted from "BruceDuncan" There is nothing wrong with the Varna in a technical sense; it's the choices one makes in designs. Exactly. If you want a fast, cheap ship you're going to have to make sacrifices elsewhere...
The hull strain on the Varna concerns me, as does the lack of deck armor...
Tis a nice ship despite the size, or even because of it...
I didn't realize cost was an issue, but deck armor is a good thing... Overall a nice design if you need numbers without breaking the budget.
Your CL has two big problems: 1) Hull strength is 0.94 causing strain, this should be fixed 2) Design has no deck armor
Quoted from "Hood" A fairly basic refit of the KBL Class gunboats. I've decided to keep the underwater torpedoes as they might be handy. KBL, Netherlands Kanoneerbooten laid down 1930 Armament: 8 - 4.53" / 115 mm guns (2x4 guns), 52.91lbs / 24.00kg shells, 1944 Model Dual purpose guns in deck mounts on centreline ends, evenly spread, 1 raised mount I'm thinking a misprint here...
I notice the last two CA designs have no CT armor while the DD has absolutely no armor at all, are these deliberate design choices?
Quoted from "Brockpaine" Quoted from "BruceDuncan" Sounds quite interesting. Looking forward to seeing your designs. +2 +3
The Main Battery is all forward? A "Mogami"-type layout fore and aft would seem to make more sense. Also miscellaneous weight doesn't seem to add up; @ 140 tons per turret that should only come to 840 tons unless I've missed something.
Nice, but I'd try to get composite strength up to 1.00
