wasn't Jupiter/Langley designed and converted before these ships? so they should not be the first? FLUFF: HOW DOES THE USN ACQUIRE THE USS DELAWARE AND HER SISTERS? Blackmail. Here is the RTL (and AU) situation when Wilson, (regarded by some modern US military historians as completely incompetent i...

in your image, you list that this ship is the first 'purpose designed plane carrier' Which can be explained in 2 ways: the 2 ways I described in my previous post. Purpose designed in conversion. There are no two ways to interpret the note. SMS Derfflinger arrives at the Philadelphia yards as a batt...

What I mean, purpose designed kind of means the ship is designed from the keel up as an aircraft carrier. Alternatively, you could say it means the conversion was designed to be an aircraft carrier. In other words, either you say this ship was designed as an aircraft carrier, or the earlier convers...

Is it weird that I wonder how a conversion of an earlier ship can be the first purpose designed carrier? what would the earlier ships be? designed as toasters and suddenly they were aircraft carriers? Not that I want one to go back and read the earlier fluff that explains what I drew ... but if thi...

As for your tank's 50 mm, is it similar to ballistic performance of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/5_cm_KwK_38 or https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/5_cm_KwK_39 without the over-engineered gun breech and is the US Army consider the belief of the tank destroyer doctrine of the late 30s to early 40s as a v...

Sensor suite, aircraft handling arrangements that are "non-Japanese". The Japanese in between the wars were developing optics augments and horizon spotting systems that relied on the human eye. They did not use radio countermeasure and sensing systems until 1944. They did not have the ability until ...

Try to use off platform drone sensors for your "mission creep". That way you can keep the hull honest, as now, and still enhance capacities.^1 ^1 I may not be able to draw them, but I know how they are supposed to work.
