Not really a bug but some balance issues.
1900 start
Russia
I think VL and game budget. Also 80% research and slower aircraft development i think.
In the battle (took place in 1907-08) I managed to avoid the escorting ships and slipped into the convoy, with only 2 legacy destroyers and one designed 1901 i think i did very well. The escorts never managed to get in a hit on my ships and every transport i encountered besides the ones that fled while i was busy sinking the first couple were sunk.
Then i get this screen and it does not seem like the VP are balanced, the ships were small and medium TR. I doubt i would have won even if i had sunk 10 of them.
I would think that sinking almost half of a convoy and slipping away without any damage is a major achivement.

GNA would like to offer our 1944 BB proposal for consideration. Heavily armoured, and with a powerful main armament of 12x16" guns. In our opinion the slower speed is an acceptable trade-off to achieve such armour and firepower. Edit: oh shoot, i just realised im a bit late to the party, i hope that is okey.

GNA would like to submit out proposal for a battleship for the Imperial Navy. Featuring a heavy armament of 12 x 16" rifles and a reasonable armor belt 15" thick we feel that our ship can compete with any other and through superior firepower emerge victorious. Attachments:

Cheap and fast, we are like the fast food of shipyards apparently

GNA Coastal Destroyer design/Wartime Emergency Destroyer
The GNA is proud to supply the Imperial Navy with a design for a Wartime emergency destroyer, that is both cheap and quick to build. While technically fulfilling the capability requirements for the DD competition we feel it's more suited to a suplementary role bolstering the destroyer fleet during the war and useful in numbers in the future, with a possibility of usefulness as a subchaser and patrol ship in future conflicts. With the lack of any useful destroyers except a few rebuilt ships from 1917 a cheap and quick option would allow the navy to quickly bolster its forces and supplement the larger destroyers in low intensity areas.

Due to computer issues, this is going to be delayed for a couple days, but I should be able to post an update Wednesday or Thursday. My apologies for the delay. Would it be alright if i added another design in the next 24 hours of a surplus coastal DD idea i had? This would be for any misc ship ideas and not directly in the main DD competition.

GNA DD-1 1935 GNA BB-1 1935 GNA BC-1 1935 The GNA is proud to offer three designs for the Imperial Navy. A fast and very torpedo heavy destroyer with a respectable main armament. As well as two designs for fast battleships, a budget design at 35 500 ton or the larger design at 48 000 ton. We would reccomend the larger variant but we included the cheaper option in case the Imperial Navy would prefer it. We believe that the navy is lacking in fast capital ships able to stand up to a foreign line of battle and that this is a shortcoming that needs to be fixed if the Navy is to be able to defend China from foreign aggresion and prevent a blockade of our trade.

Since the plauges that have bothered the GNA is over we will contribute to these competitions.
Trying to build to the US/UK level of capital ships is not realistic but i think China could use a fairly strong BC that can go up against foreign ships. Even if submarines might be the most efficient way it's rather dull and not very interactive as you say, still some more would probably be good. China already have BC's building that can deal with enemy cruisers but either a BC or a fast BB to deal with enemy capital ships is what the GNA recommends.

GNA is happy to be able to submit our designs for the 1915 competitions. GNA DD1915a
A quick destroyer armed with 3x1 5" guns on the centerline giving it firepower to fight other destroyers and even smaller cruisers with hte fast firing but still potent 5" gun. A speed of 32 knots makes it able to outrun it's opponents but hte pride of the ship is the 6 torpedo broadsidepossible from it's 4 double torpedo tubes. GNA BB1915a
Our battleship design is what we feel the best compromise between speed, armour and armament that chinese industry can achieve. Armed with 4x2 14" guns in superfiring B&V turrets, 18 6" guns in casemates ensures protection from any torpedo attack. 14" of belt armour tapering to 3" on the FC and the QD. 3" of deck armour to protect from plunging fire and 15" turret armour. And not is it a slow ship either, with a speed of 24 knots it is faster than any other battleship now afloat, and comparable to the British " Incomparable" class BC in speed, being just 1 knot slower and far better armoured. GNA BC1915a
The BC1915a design is the BB design with the armour and secondary battery reduced to achieve a speed of 28 knots. While we are of course proud of our designers we nevertheless believe that the 4 knots speed advantage this design have over the BB version does not outweigh the comprimises in armour and armament.

GNA will unfortunatly not be submitting a design for this competition.

I assume short range is acceptable of destroyers or am i mistaken?

GNA BB1909A
This very modern battleship proposal from the designers at GNA is our attempt to create a battleship that will be competitive many years from now. Realising that the restrictions of our industries prevents us building ships that can match the greatest of foreign designs in weight of fire our design instead focuses on speed and heavy horizontal armour to enable it to keep enemy battleships at long range where it's superior deck armour and heavy shells will be at an advantage. We believe that this design will be able to remain in service even when the range of guns increase, as it has been doing for several years. Our belief is that horizontal armour will become much more important as a result of this and that our 3.5" of deck armour will remain competitive even in the future. Using the 23 knot speed of the ship to maintain the battle at longer ranges where it will be at an advantage we felt that a smaller secondary battery was acceptable since it saved weight for the larger 14" main battery and that the heavy, slower shells of it should be able to penetrate horizontal armour better due to it's ballistic properties resulting in the shell coming down at a steeper angle. All this for a very affordable price. GNA CL1909A
Our CL proposal is cruiser that have quite some fight in it for the price. Sporting a broadside of 5x 6" guns and a speed of 25 knots. Not only does it have that, it also have a very competitive armour with a 2.5" belt and a 1.5" extended belt. Our engineers were also able to maintain the quality of the accomodations that our crew are accustomed to without any additional costs. In short we feel that our cruiser proposal is a bargain that will serve the Imperial navy well in the future.
