The ships are still kind of slow, but it does take ships a very long time to sink each other. I did sink one of those pre-dreadnought dreadnoughts, but it was with a destroyer which got lucky with 2 torpedo hits. Other than that the largest ships sunk were cruisers in simulated engagements. The war took place in 1914 BTW. The first dreadnoughts started appearing around 1910, although technically France still doesn't have any.

By 1910 you started to see the first actual dreadnoughts. Happened sooner than I thought to be honest (And I think France was last to them if you don't count the ship I showed).

It's definitely been interesting to play. Gives you more of an opportunity to see the pre-dread era and experiment with larger pre-dreads, although I honestly thought the game was going to remain there longer than it did.

just checked prev game on 10% RR and first gen proper dreads by GB also came online in 1910 and the other nations were couple years later. so pretty reasonable even at 1%.
and sure i mean if purely going by the numbers even at 10% it can go to the year 2000 and still only researched half the tech, bwahaha! mayhaps tech trading/accidental discovery/spying just completely overpowers the slow research progress especially early game.
but this is good. hate crawling around like bugs in 'em pre-dreads. just me hey!..

What year is this? I understand spain starts with some really pathetic Bs, but those tend to be smaller than this.

I don't know what Russian AI thinks. I don't understand him I've seen the French build 3 of those in my AH game, Spain build some. AH built on in a Ottoman game over on the SA forum. Derpy failboad AC design basically, and totally worthless even by AH and Spain starting standards. I feel (thru experience) that mini B's can be useful if small and well armored, but that is niether

I haven't played Russians yet, can that be legacy fleet? do russians build Bs more than 3 years? They have some Bs already in fleet that were taken to the water by 1901... So that's "normal" AI design...

Found the reason Copied the design, added 1 knot - designated as CA

It's possible it is a legacy design but I believe it unlikely. The Russians have Undeveloped Ship Building as a national trait so they should take about 10% longer to build a ship than an average nation.

Only in rebuild attempt I understood that my auto-legacy B was illegal...

10.1904, tentions with UK - high yellow (7?) got an event "UK wants to make a 5 year defence pact with you. Are you in?" (well.. close to that) My thoughts: WTF? Do I get free green relations and alliance? I agreed. My budget went lower, tensions went lower. "Deal wasn't set, debates concluded on opposite demands" (or close to that) 11.1904 Spies found out about new british BB: only 2 centerline turrets... WTFWTFWTF

I love this game... Enemy coastal raid with only 1 B... After 1 torp hit and 6 misses it finally starts to sink
Message: after the battle, our coastal sub torped retreating enemy B In log of that B: tons of hits ... 29 19:03 Sinking through progressive flooding. 29 19:04 Torpedo SSC S-13
Dear submarine, what the heck did you do right on top of him?
