Do you have light cruiser design (NOT protected cruiser) from the Ship Design tech field?

Heavy secondaries and main armament shooting at the same target have an accuracy penalty as well.

On that Yamato- there's a 60% penalty on the effectiveness of heavy AA when mixed calibers are used.

Maybe instead of "unidentified", what it really means is "too indistinct in these lighting conditions to either make out the target or the fall of shot using visual means".

Random numbers include streaks of bad luck. Sometimes you're the Dreadnought who rams a submarine to death, sometimes you're the Hood getting wtfpwned by a single lucky shell. Them's the breaks. Proper design and tactics improve your odds, but they're no guarantee in any individual battle. Is that Welsh?

Take a look at the almanac and see what the stats look like for other nation's ships. Especially Italy and France.

That BE armor on your heavies is way higher than historical ships, or what I'd built fwiw. It will be interesting to see if it's worth it.

Hmm... ...I dunno fredsanford , that sounds like a challenge to me. Sounds like a game of Civilization.

Hum...well, personally I'd like to have a RTW game start around 1850 or so and advance to 1950...but don't take this as some sort of announcement Throw in Age of Sail. RTW 1588-1950! Even garrisonchisholm will be compelled to scrap ships eventually ! j/k luvyameanit

While the building slip limitation thing is interesting in theory, practically I wonder if it would be worth Fredrik's effort. Even playing the US on very large fleets, I find that trying to build 4 large BB's at once is enough of a stretch budget-wise that even if there were more slips available, I wouldn't have the money to fill them up anyway.

My reasoning for 100% SAP on guns 6" and lower is that SAP gives *reasonable* (not optimal, but reasonable results) against the full range of target types those guns will be fired at. Light caliber SAP will ruin a DD pretty much just as well as HE, and will also have an effect against CA/BC/BBs on the thinly armored sections that is IMO better than HE (for example against BE/DE and lightly armored secondaries). It will perform worse, but not *much* worse, than AP against CL Belts, but the later in the game the less this is so IMO (1925 SAP will get in against any CL armor). However, you'll have a full magazine worth of SAP to use, as opposed to getting into a guessing game about how often you'll encounter AP-suitable targets vs HE-suitable targets, and what your ammo load will be. You get a full magazine of decent ammo (especially later in the game), vesus a partial magazine of optimal ammo for what you encounter, along with a partial magazine of useless or near-useless ammo.

Sending a 15 year old CA against a new BC is asking for it.

In an attempt to keep this board focused on the game Rule The Waves, climate change as a driver for political upheaval can already be imagined to be incorporated in RTW/RTW2. Along with the "unrest" mechanic, there are already events in the game that state that a new government has taken power, both in your own country and others. No explicit reason for the change is given, it just happens. If one wishes to suppose that the political change happens in response to a climatic event, feel free.
