I've started. This will take some time. I haven't finished my opening rant, and this man has already crossed a page and a half. I have a feeling I will need more than one forum post. This is a very Spiteful man, with quite the tongue. I hope there's no limits on how long I can make my posts.
Most of all, this man is Violently French.

Oh dear. Please be kind to my ships I was not, but I have ended my tenure, so they will have to endure me no longer. Here is the save file for the next in line: Game 9

I wonder if any of my Commissions survived the scrapping They did. It was really that ridiculous 600 per month that we were spending on corvettes that I really wanted to cut down on. They’re not strong enough to provide any benefits in battle, but the tonnage requirements for the foreign stations were already covered easily by other ships. All they were was a large drain on the economy. I could understand their use for TP, but my predecessor decided that our fleet of destroyers was better used for that, despite being our only support forces in the North Sea. So I started a war looking at having no destroyers in the only major engagement zone and dozens of useless canoes actively draining my resources around the world. That’s why I went on a major scrapping crusade. I left a few for trade protection in future wars though, so we wouldn’t have to cut into our destroyer forces. Sorry if that sounded a bit harsh, but my Amiral is not a happy man, and more critical of high command than Hara.

Was unsure how to play. Just read the thread in the AAR section.
If I m scheduled to take over in 1920, I think I ll continue french roleplay style. Ie arrogantly criticising my predecessors, radically shifting priorities with some improvements and then making serious blunders myself (aircraft? what for?), which will haunt my successors for many years! A truly french legacy ;-).

Your predecessor might be quite good and set up a Navy you have no reason to complain about, soyou might end up being a very satisfied, maybe even lazy Admiral.

I was more worried abut the Duquesne since she was a Pre-Dreadnought but the best ship I could built in 5 short years of technological progress. But not questioning your choices, you were the admiral at the time, just didn't have access to my machine to look at the same.

The Duquesne saw 3 engagements while in my command but most notably was that those battles were all large fleet engagements. So she stood in line and fired with everyone else.
About the lack of tp ships was because i hadn't built any smaller corvettes in time and while at war i figured I'd use the older destroyers and get new torpedoe destroyers out with 5 center line launchers.
Glad to hear the ocean class still survives. Minus the 3rd one but thats not a huge lost. 22ktons with only 6 14in -1 guns isn't something thats gonna be missed. I did put effort into my line art when i made the designs though.

I moved them to reserve to save on cost, but there was no way I was going to scrap them.

This kind of interplay was exactly what I was hoping for with this game too.
Having Retired, Rene de Vasious now no longer have to worry about budgets Politics and international tensions, just the Battle honours of his Legacy, even if they are of questionable use to his successors.

Seems like he is adding them after There's a problem with the coding; I'll try to edit it tomorrow so the pictures are available. For now, the diary entries are all there. And yemo, please don't destroy what I created ;_; there was a point in that playthrough where I literally did not have enough budget to maintain my navy and build new ships at the same time, and was still losing money even after halting all construction. What you have now is enough money to built a BB, a CA, a CVL, and 3 DDs all at the same time. I beg that you don't waste it for the shits and giggles
