WesWorld

Oooh, the WesWorld's CT-signatories get their first turret farm..... Are you sure you want to have part of the magazines or engines sticking out beyond the main belt, even with that end belt the design has? I assume the 50 tons of miscellaneous weight is intended for aircraft, right?

In that case, you might want to note it in the Notes section, so it's more obvious. Same with the new BBs, and there you might want to add some tons for flag quarters.

Slow down please.

1. Length: Beam ratio is too high for a cruiser this size, it is in excess of 10:1, which is a no-no

2. From point 1, your cross-sectional strength is higher than longitudinal. This isn't really normal for these sorts of ships, but it will be solved by adopting a different hull form.

3. Why are you using 150mm guns and not 210mm? When asked before, Nordmark replied that it didn't have a 210mm gun to hand and so wouldn't build any "A" cruisers for a time. Its quite possible that they could have developed a new weapon though. The 210mm gun has quite a few advantages over the 150mm. Mainly ballistic, it being better to fight with at long range. The increased armour of Wesworld cruisers might also be a problem for the 150mm gun.

4. Mixed 110mm and 75mm secondaries? Why?

5. Nice armour, but maybe the belt is a bit too high compared to other cruisers. ~9ft being normal.

6. 100,000shp from 2 shafts? Possible in 1934 or so onwards.

7. Possibly a lack of space for mounting aircraft, 5 turrets and lots of secondary guns on this hull?

Revised, 150mm guns are chosen owing to proposals I've found in Peng's files for massive 20 150mm gun turret farm CA's

Considering the rough North Atlantic, you might want better seakeeping

Er...is it just me or is the first post missing?

Anyhoo, it's an interesting concept. I agree with RA that, following the Argentine conflict, Nordmark might have taken the plunge and developed a 210mm gun...

Also would expect an 4x2 or 8x1 "heavy" AA battery, not 2x2.

Just you. What happened was the ship design was first posted to the Nordmark area, in response I started a thread here on it. There were a number of threads like this started yesterday.

A lot more ships have thicker armour than historically. I'd be confident in saying that some cruiser designs would kick its ass fairly easily, mainly from the fact that their armour could only be penetrated at point-blank ranges.

This website on cruisers is extremely useful, especially for details on armour and other things. Maybe glean a few ideas here and there?

Looks good, the only thing I'd suggest is making the AA battery 4x1 instead of 2x2.

6x1 would be better ;-)

Quoted

6x1 would be better ;-)

True, and with 100 tons of miscellaneous tonnage, there's tonnage left for the extra guns.

they will be added when I improve the AA suite on all my ships in the 30's
