SAI RJW R&H MOD
Greetings friends! I present R&H (Realism and Historicity) mod for the SAI RJW game. The main goal of this modification is reproduce characteristics for all ships as accurately as it's possibly in SAI engine. I significantly change data for most of Russian and Japanese ships. The number of guns and their placement, torpedos, armor and speed were changed. I used a large number of books and checked data for each ship in the various sources. These assumptions were used for representing all ships:
ARMOR
Krupp - 1.0
Harvey - 0.9
Steel - 0.6
Сompound - 0.5
Belt for protected cruisers = (deck slopes) * 1.3
Deck for all ships = (horisontal deck + slopes) / 2
Belt extended = (upper belt + ends of the ship) / 2
RUSSIAN ARTILLERY
305/40 - 12inch
305/35 - 12inch (-20%)
305/30 - 12inch (-30%)
254/45 - 10inch (+20%)
254/45 - 10inch (-10%) # Ouchakov
229/35 - 9inch (-20%)
203/45 - 8inch
203/35 - 8inch (-20%)
152/45 - 6inch
152/35 - 6inch (-20%)
120/45 - 5inch
75/50 - 3inch
JAPANESE ARTILLERY
320/38 - 13inch (-30%)
305/40 - 12inch
305/40 - 12inch (-10%) # Fuji
254/45 - 10inch (+20%) # Kasuga
203/45 - 8inch (+30%) # Nisshin
203/40 - 8inch
152/45 - 6inch (+20%) # Niitaka, Otawa
152/40 - 6inch
152/35 - 6inch (-30%)
120/40 - 5inch (-10%)
76/40 - 3inch (-10%)
HOTCHKISS ARTILLERY
57/43 - 2inch (+10%)
37-47 - 2inch
37-47 - 2inch (-10%) # big ships
Protection of all ships converted into the level of Krupp armor. Now old Russian armored cruisers (Nahimov, Monomakh and Donskoi) have small armor area like in real history. Japanese Kasuga class have modern 8inch guns, Niitaka and Otawa have modern 6inch guns with increased characteristics. Japanese battleships (except Fuji class) also used 12inch guns with slightly increased range and the quality of 254mm/45 Russian guns (Peresvet class) was also increased.
FIRE CONTROL
All small protected cruisers (displacement less than 4000t) don't have rangefinders to simulate difference between 6000t and 3000t cruisers in accuracy.
NEW SCENARIOS
NEW PICTURES
There are many custom pictures with historical paint schemes

Also it include some alternative like fighting without Korietz or without Naniva and Niitaka. Use historical force level for starting with all ships or variable force level for alternative situation. At any moment Varyag may return to Chemulpo and be saved. Japanese force can not enter into bay;
- Night Attack - historical night battle of Russian gunboats with Japanese destroyer around on Port-Arthur;
