I like this mod very much. The amount of detail and accuracy of the ships is awesome. My only complaint is the size of the budgets. The US seems fine since they cranked out ships at a huge rate during this period but Japan and to a lesser extent France and the Soviet Union seem way too high. In real 1940 Japan could barely maintain their large fleet and during the war they only produced a few carriers, a few small cruisers, and some destroyers. No battleships, heavy cruisers or nearly enough escort vessels. However with the budget currently as is, Japan can commission carriers almost on an Essex scale. I love this mod because I want to play with real WWII ships, not a whole bunch of AI ships that can be massed produced within a couple of years.

Very minor note: the Japanese Hatsuharu-class DD gun layout and image reflects the first two members of the class as originally built, but following the capsizing of the Tomozuru in 1934, these two were rebuilt and had the single 5-inch gun moved from its superfiring position on the forecastle to a position in front of the rear double turret. The remaining members of the class still building were also so modified. This profile (and gun layout) would probably serve better for 1936 start:

Totally, agree about KGV, I initially had it as Q0 due to it only being 45 caliber, but its characteristics seem more like Q1,
I'll get those changes implemented in the first update

What is gun quality actually supposed to represent? Longer guns are by no means universally better than shorter, e.g. the Royal Navy preferred 45 calibre guns.

At first I used it to approximate it, especially for the USN it works well, but then I’ve gone back and modified them based on general quality

Soviet Budget and Hatsuharu will be fixed for the next patch

[seawolf]

Updated the initial post with images. I've also decided to move the start date to 1939 for the next update, the 1936 start will remain available but without further updates.

Once again, very much appreciate your mod, Seawolf, & look forward to the 1939 update.

Once again Seawolf, thanks and congrats for your efforts! Do you plan to revise armor values in the next version? Some values are not historical, for instance the Kongos have 12,5" armor in the mod against 8" historically, and the Nagatos only a light belt against 12" historically.

Seawolf, love the mods thanks so much for all of them. Have you seen in your testing "Colonial Battles?" Was playing France in 1922 no VT no WNT version vs Italy got a mission where they (and they were not allied with Germany) had Helgoland as a base and all the action took place in the north sea with no other bases?

what other mods is this compatible?

The other nations ships showing ZERO speed in almanac are just bad intel, right?
