Building lots of Heavy Cruisers instead of Battlecruisers, in a game of RTW without any treaty to force their creation?
I hope they live up to their theorized ability to run away from BCs, and I hope the cost savings lets you build plenty of extra dreadnoughts or whatever you need.

Slim, Are you going to build the dreadnoughts and BCs that were started but not completed due to the Washington Treaty?

From now until the end of the game, BB's will be on the yards. My naval budget is now so high I can afford to run several production lines. For example, in the last in-game year of 1923, SEVEN dreadnaughts came off the lines, and I have the two Nevada Class battleships under construction, with another design set to begin construction in five months.

I do intend to design the Lexington Class battlecruiser, but I'm trying (desperately) to wait until I have the proper 16-inch guns available. Currently, the largest I have are 14-inch guns. I may have to compromise, but I hope I won't have to.

I mean, you could go with the 14" armed proposal for the Lexington, with the same turret layout as the Pensacola.

I would need to wait about a month to start construction.

Those wierdo americans and their torpedo lacking battleships. A battleship without torpedoes is like an officer without a sword.

Curious whether you’ve also been replicating the American coastal defense building program of the period.

And of course, whose who kill with the sword also die by the sword... or a lot of them, if they happen to have a close encounter with destroyers. Unlimited Blade Works, anyone?

Of course, there is a relevant scene from Raiders of the Lost Ark (1981) that would serve as an excellent response.
