My two cents on the rules: Leave out post-treaty designs. Someone could draw the most beautiful LNT2-design in the most brilliant way with the perfect backstory and would still lose against a limitless max-out-Überbattleship drawn by my 6-year old son. I'd set the deadline prior to the call of the ...
https://puu.sh/Ah3Gm/2186d3c066.txt The most conservative Bc, using her top speed of 30 knots in 41 and 144kshp would require her to have this Bc. Giving a strength of 0.9. Simulated the thickest two decks, the 76mm over mags and 51mm armoured deck over everything; Shes actually thinner for most of...
P.S.: The 1928 BC was just wishful thinking on Adm. Zenkers part, who thought that Germany might be able to negotiate some relaxations of the Versailles treaty. It was still a very cautious design (~20.000t & 13"guns), that would've been no match for a real treaty battleship. Indeed, however such a...
"Ships of German origin: Design date no earlier than 1928" I think you must have ment 1935? Otherwise France might want to visit with its army... I was glad someone brought this up! I've put 1928, as from what I've found (Take with a grain of salt :P), the first return to big ships, on the drawing ...
By keeping the rules simple - you will get more entries. And less people taking potshots at the rules as stated. Apart from my errors, it's literally just the treaties with a 28 knot requirement; Several people are already participating on the discord. Springsharp is nowhere near exact - think +/- ...
Direct quote from wiki on 2LNT; (Heretical I know :P) However, a so-called "escalator clause" was included at the urging of American negotiators in case any of the countries that had signed the Washington Naval Treaty refused to adhere to this new limit. This provision allowed the signatory countrie...
Why? is this not historically wrong? ie it should be 23-37 WNT 16" (actually no ships apart from a few named ones ie N&R due to extended building holiday) then 2LNT 14" to the laps to 16" but that's at the same time as 45,000t? Nelrods were exceptions; AFAIK original WNT was 14" guns. Escalation cl...
