I am playing an (odd!*) game as Germany right now, and I am designing a new class of fast battleship.
My last class of ship qualified as a BC at 24 knots max speed.
This generation, it reclassifies it as a BB unless I raise speed to 25 knots. (Yay AoN armor!)
I am guessing that the breakpoint between BB and BC lies in the ratio of tonnage dedicated to engine machinery and armor. I have been aiming to make Fast Battleships that qualify as BCs, so my best ships get to participate in more scenarios.
What decides the difference between a BB and BC, especially once/if designs evolve towards Fast Battleships?
*I had an interesting savegame error. I ragequit out of a premature war with the UK and loaded up my previous save, which was during a war with Italy. Except when the savegame loaded, I actually had all of Italy's territories that I took at the end of the war... That saved me a year in my campaign for complete Deutsch domination!
