... Right, then. Lascaris, generally one doesn't publish damning documents. I direct the court of public opinion's attention to the last exchange; note that Lascaris resents only the 'thinly-veiled' part of my accusation. Not, for example, the accusation itself. He then goes on to explain why it ma...

The Daily Mail

Diplomatic correspondence between France and Britain published, German accusations clearly shown to lack all basis

The Daily Mail Outrageous German Behaviour in parliament In front of both houses of parliament and his majesty the king, German chancellor demands earth and water from Britain accompanied with thinly veiled threats of war, accuses his majesty's government of supposedly planning to attack Germany and...

Now, it might be the French President is lying through his teeth for whatever reason, is exaggerating, misunderstood etc. However, who is he going to believe more - an ally that has proven its worth and has made a remarkable attempt at rapproachment with the German Empire and which has been willing...

You were saying? Very nice. Now how much was the block coefficient of the two Queens or Normsandie or for that matter Yamato. Oh circa 0.6, 0.612 in the case of the Yamato. Yours has 0.8. Much too high. Soo a straight enlargement of the Queen Mary to Bretagne size Sources for the block coefficient ...

I am now asking the British Government to explain its actions and to show what they intend to do to remedy the situation. For the alternative is a standoff and continued mistrust, a cold war between our nations that would serve nobody but the arms industry." Sänger finished, realizing he had b...

Von Der Tann had been escorted by HMS Renown and HMS Queen Mary as soon as she had reached British waters and then Sanger had reached London on a special train. There he would address the parliament in addition to any number of private and public meetings with Lloyd George, the cabinet and the Royal...

Quite so I am. British interests start construction of 3 80,000t ships in real life Oceanic, Queen Elizabeth and Queen Mary. Britain in the game is in a much stronger economic and industrial position particularly since along with Byzantium was the only big European powers not to be involved in larg...

However, Lascaris is planning to built four ocean liners (not passenger ships, but ocean liners with a cruise speed of over 25 knots) that each will displace 60-80kt tons. And he expects to do so while occupying every slipway at the same time for military construction. . Quite so I am. British inte...

Lascaris, how can you start building four liners when every single one of your slipways is filled with capital ships? Liners still take slipways, even if they only cost a third of an equivalent tonnage Navy ship. Oh this fall victim to merely 3 slight problems. First ocean liners were often enough ...

BBC Cunard outbids Royal Mail Steam Packet Company, takes over White Star Line. White Star Line to be merged into Cunard as Cunard-White Star.

Oh? Let me see. It costs 400 IBP for a gain of 25 IBP. Why I have that odd idea that the 1200 points hear will be producing about 100 IBPs and potentially even more? Because canals are different from normal things. For example, the Nicaraguan canal, for a total cost of 4000 will produce about 200+ ...

Okay, something that got lost in the new discussion about the BBs. As outlined in the story thread, Germany is planning to build the Rhein-Main Canal. The project will take six years and cost 1200 IBPs total. When completed, Germany will get a 5% economy bonus peacetime and 10% economy bonus wartim...

I'm more concerned with the fact that with the 55-70 slipways coming out some players are already jumping up toward 70 right off the bat (considering Sovereign is 50,000 and Defiant 55,000, I tried to hold Excalibur under 65,000, ended up at 64,500 due to the armoring and alloting for superheavies)...

From the German Empire to the British Empire Your Royal Majesty, Your Excellency, with regards to the planned summit between our respective empires and the speech of the Reichskanzler before the House of Parliament, the German Empire would like to enquire whether April 20th would be an acceptable d...

When looking at the ship design, I just put in the new superheavy shell weight in the shell weight area, then start reducing the number of shells until Composite Strength returns to 1.0, letting me know how much the existing magazines can hold. That does not work and produces unrealistic results. F...

So tell me - what other way is there to simulate added weight in Springsharp, using real life ship switches from heavy to superheavy shells? Did anyone actually try this in real life? Not the US as far as I can tell. To tell the truth the more I look into this the more it looks as if it would requi...

Alright, here are the new ships that Germany currently has fitting out: Hmm. I see that in the German ships where you put superheavy shells on the additional tonnage was covered by increasing the block coefficient of the design. That is not feasible. The draught of the design has remained unchanged...

As a compromise, I am quite willing to give up the SH shell nation (AKA everyone gets sh shells) if I get to use my research slot for another technology instead. Of course, refit costs should still apply to everybody, with the same limits etc. Also, any response to my canal plan yet? Can I counter-...

Easy. I started research on it in Q1 1925. I even invested IBPs in it, which I did not get back. You can find the exact start in the tech agreement I made with the US, done in a story post, which gives me access to more than three years of design work they already did on the subject in OTL before i...

Oh come to think of that since when the Bayern class got 16in guns instead of 15?

Alright, the cat is out of the bag regarding the reasons for the refit. The turrets are being replaced with newer models to accommodate the SH shells. Lascaris earlier asked about the cost of refits, here is what it cost me to switch the turrets to make them capable of superheavy shell firing: Öste...
