That Russian cruiser is an AI design. I actually got my hands on one after beating them in a war. I immediately went to the design screen and gave it an engine refit. That engine refit gave me 1000t in free tonnage. I then did a proper refit and gave it 6 inch guns but then I saw how much it would've cost and decided to scrap it and build a light cruiser of my own design.

February 1926 After defeating Russia, now The Soviet Union, the admirals quickly realised that in order to be competitive they have to figure out what to do with the ageing battleships and weather to build new heavy cruisers or invest into the emerging naval aircraft market. After going through blueprint designs and reworks it was decided to convert all battleships into CVLs and any battleships that could not be converted must be scraped immediately. As well as converting the battleships the naval league also allowed the construction of 4 new Ryugo class light carriers. Some seaplane carriers were also refit for scouting purposes and a new class called Plato for raiding. June 1928 It has come to the attention to the navy that there is a massive lack light cruisers and destroyers building or in service. To combat this two new destroyer classes were built, one for normal work and one who was designed to combat all enemy capital ships. February 1933 Two new heavy cruisers has been designed and are currently building. They have the distinction of being the only cruisers in the world to take advantage of the all-forward firepower armour layout. France has also been escalating tensions with us prompting the construction of 15 extra Nagatsuki class destroyers to combat the amount of battle cruisers the French had before the naval treaty. that is all for now. we will see how a war with them goes.

I thought heavy cruisers didn’t get the advantages of all forward armament, I think I checked once.

I think I may try a no carriers game ... be interesting to see if it can be made to work.

I plan on doing more challenge runs after this one including. Germany-no ships above 12000t France-reverse all-forward firepower, as in no forward turrets once BB/BCs are unlocked America-Badnoughts lite Austria-Hungary-all ships above 3000t must be aircraft/seaplane carriers

January 1935 It happened, were at war with Britain. those Nagatsuki class destroyers are a god send. No other battles of note. I did get Shanghai from them. And it's over after 10 months. I won after Britain collapsed in revolution. With the treaty gone it was finally time to start construction on the first fleet aircraft carrier. nothing of real note happened until 1940 when i started construction on the next fleet carriers and these new heavy cruisers called the Tokiwa class. The reason for this design is that the AI has decided to not build many new BB/BCs and as such has resorted to building lots of CAs and CLs and i simply cannot keep up with the amount of them that they are building, so instead i decided to build the biggest and best heavy cruisers that i could that could easily catch up and destroy any ship that they come across. November 1942 And were at war again, this time with Russia and France. So far things are doing fine. I hope i can win this. there will be one final update before i start the German challenge run.

RTW2 just crashed on me. 7 months of destroying the French and Russian navies wasted. here are some screenshots i did save. I'll play the game again tomorrow.
