Unfortunately while the placing of boats may not be ascetically pleasing, the Americans did it for 15-20 years with their carriers and I would think one of those German Naval Attaches may have noticed this and passed it on to the Kriegsmarine. https://www.dropbox.com/s/m3za7zuqq5r7nw0/US-boats.PNG?d...

Reading about the early trials of German radar reminded me of a comparison that was done between Allied Radar advances and German advances. The one thing I remember is that the early British Radar was able to be easily upgraded part by part while the German radar needed to have virtually a complete ...

Good looking cruiser. The secondary AA looks a bit light with only four guns. Would it be possible to extend the aft superstructure enough to fit another twin 3.5", superfiring over X turret?

(The Germans used that configuration on the SP-1-3 scout cruisers)

New AU's always bring some new interpretation to whichever country the AU is dedicated. Focusing on the technical side of German radar would certainly help improve my knowledge of it. The biggest problem I see so far with your ships is that you are over arming them for their core duties. A quick and...

The little almost round things in the middle of the lower hull are actually submerged torpedoes.

the difference between PNG and JPG in drawings. https://www.dropbox.com/s/qkevv9dlx37h6wt/Cargil48jpg.png?dl=1 As you can see from your drawing I have 'filled' it with the pink colour - the four .png drawings are perfect in their outlines. The Me-410 has got all the extra pixels and shades of grey o...

Well drawn Tempest. As to upping the ante for RN. In time Germany built 2 15/16" BB's, the RN built 10 with 15" (+BC's). The RN would still have overwhelmed the HSF. Its interesting that such a type was put forward for consideration. I drew a similar design for a BB series with the 16.5" guns you dr...
