Think smaller Derflinger with Vanguard style main weapons

Hmmmm, kind of like a cross between Seydlitz (armament) and Lion (layout). Not a bad idea, going with something a bit less spendy than a full-size battleship.

Comments: Germany would suggest going with turbines for propulsion, or a mixed turbine/diesel plant (probably 3 shafts, then), the diesel-powered CL Liepzig is proving prone to vibration at higher speeds. Casemates are ... well, less than ideal, you might consider replacing the 10 150s in casemates with 8 in turrets, shaving a little bit off that torpedo bulkhead or the upper belt to do so. The torpedos.... eh, on a ship of this type, you may not want them, as they're an explosion risk if hit by enemy fire.

Somewhat underpowered in the main weaponry department, but still a solid boat. Not something you want following you into a dark fjord in the Baltic, that's for sure.

Depends on the range, and right now the Baltic is the domain of older ships, unless the Nords bring in their new BBs. So the armament's not that far from the norm (11" vs 12").

Her shallow draft is a good point, given the abundance of underwater threats the Baltic will pose.

the problem is that I can only bild one.
I only have 4 turrents.
I plan to use her with heavy ecsorts of Conrads and Peggy Brown's
My doctrin is heavy on night torpedo tactics i bild ships with high ROF setling on smaller but numerus guns on my CL, this ship will add the element of brake trou force.
The other problem is that this ship is not elastic if it encouters a BC or a fast BB it will die quickly.

I understand the desire to minimize cost, but those pre-dreadnought turrets will be at least a quarter-century old by the time they're installed on this ship. I think you'd be better off just buying some new weapons.

If the expectation is that this ship's going to be clobbered by any BB/BC it encounters, I think you should reduce the armor suite and increase the speed.

Marek,

could you provide some background why Poland thinks this is the right ship for their navy? What´s the scenario she´s planned for?

In general she seems to be an outdated and obsolete design.

Agree that the 283mm guns would likely be a bit old...would make fine monitors, or coastal artillery, though.

...your Czech neighbours at Skoda have a 305/55 that would be good for Baltic work.

IC: THAT INFORMATION IS TOP SECRET

OOC:
Doctrine No. 1
I realized that althou my CL have TT bourdside that will blow Yamato out of water I nead a ship that will divert enemy fire from my cruisers, with(cruisers) cannot hope to survive an attack on a Battleline.My BB(what ever it may be) will act as a target for the big guns acting as a diversion from the main attack that are the cruisers and big torpedo bouts.
So a ship modern fast battleship armed with 380mm cannons.The kind that im try to bild
Or a smaller ship like the one in this post.

Docrine No. 2
A slow heavy armoured and armed BB.
It job is to protect the coust but still be able to wreak havoc on any enemy BB.
A defence only vessel.


PS:Just becose something is cheaper dosent mean that it will be bild.Poland dosnt have a congres poland has a dictator so big bad phallic compensator(30000t 8x380mm 28kt)is still in the making

The picture was rescaled by the photobucket but you dont miss much it had preaty low detail.

There is of course always this as a possibility. ;-)

Historycly Poland tryed to buy a BC or a cruiser killer but the war had prevented it.
But I dont fallow history

Members of this bourd know that im trying to bild some form of a BB.
I already design a few ship like 20-25000t 21-23kt 6-8 380mm.Small defencive BB
20000t 28kt 8x280mm. Small BC and a real BB 35000t 28kt 8x380mm.
All my design have heavy armour the speed is never high the weapons are 280mm or 380mm.Right now I still dont know what the final product will look like but i know it will have lots of armour.

Something to keep in mind about the Swedish coastal battleships: for their time, they were fairly fast. They just lasted longer than many of their contemporaries.

True. Not a bad design at all, though the casemate mounts look a bit out of place on a 1930 design.

Another alternative would be the Rio de Janerio design that HDW came up with for the Brazillian non-competition. But that design is a fair amount more expensive than Avangarda is, and has a smaller stick than the Akbar that Poland is looking at.

Food for thought - a small battleship. Not particularly fast, but it'll fit into a class two drydock.
