liam556 I really liked the Ushakov as an N3 response and scaled it up to make it work with the proposed 4x4x4 15 inch main gun from v1. Thanks for sharing.

The French Battleship Alsace, the version 3 that France was likely to build, is done as is a fictional larger variant, 'Alsace V4' that would likely have been built in response to the German Plan Z Battleships. This new design is based off the Alsace V3 with up armored belt, deck and 16 inch guns.

Finished the Italians. The Littorio wants to be a BC. So okay. And had the Washington Naval Treaty not come along, Italy may have built the Littorio with the originally envisioned 16 inch guns they were considering from the start as pictured in B5I0 below. So both versions are here.

Francisco Franco, the Spanish Head of State, had plans for the Spanish Navy which included the acquisition of four modern battleships, and a variation on the Italian Littorio-class battleships was the favored candidate. These would have been built with no tertiary guns and secondaries would change to 24x 12 cm/45 (4.7") Mark F Vickers Armstrong AA DP guns. Spain's take on the Littorio V1 and V2 are done. Replacing the secondary and tertiary guns and slightly reducing the secondary armor, I was able to bump the design from short range to medium, probably a huge requirement for Spain had they retained their overseas colonies.

The Empire of the Rising Sun has their Specific Design Templates done. Here's a look. Check the OP main page to match the ship with a name.

So how does the AI design its ships? E.g. if there is a BB with 9x15" guns, will the AI see that it has enough displacement to up the calibre to 16" or 17"? Will it try to increase the speed or armour?

Will it try to increase the speed or armour? Any template, even stock templates, when chosen, are either over tonnage or under tonnage which may make the ship design illegal. In that case, the AI will then adjust parameters until the design is legal within its current tech. How the AI upgrades the design when there is sufficient tonnage leftover or how it downgrades to make the design legal and what has priority is not understood. Edit: What you could do is when you see an AI design that looks similar to one I made, compare the stats and see what the AI changed.

I've just recently downloaded the mod and have started playing a game with it, so I'll see what turns up.
In the standard game it gets too easy later on because the player can just build big ships which will be better armed, armoured and faster than the AI ships.

These tier 5 templates are pretty advanced. You likely will see few of them them until the mid to late thirties. I’m planning on updating this mod and adding tier 4, although a few are included in this mod and show up in the late twenties. I don’t have photos of their designs, however. This mod includes 52 original templates by me and around 8-10 by hipper.
