Better Than A County Class - Episode 12 - Dreadnought Improvement Project v2 Spanish Campaign

[@Bobjc900]

Those front triple turrets on yhe Vigilantes remind me so much of the Atlanta class crusiers. Love em!

[@hyperboloidofonesheet1036]

25:41 I don't even want to imagine the logistics of such an invasion. There's probably not a single piece of equipment shared between those four armies.

[@cathyharrop3348]

9:55: Oh I love watching ships take hits. UAD can be so dramatic.

[@cathyharrop3348]

11:36: They attack the back of your line because that's were the smallest ships are. The game developers secret targeting sauce is to work up from the bottom to the top by ship class and size. Villamil would have been the next target. Happily the battle ended before we could test my hypothesis.

[@peterdavies6660]

I do wonder if you could make a Graf Spee on that CA hull. Could be useful in your budget to have six 11” guns?

[@BrotherMunro]

Oh you’ll like the next episode then 😄

[@jppauley9969]

Wow! The Lampo going up was beautiful!

[@cathyharrop3348]

5:05: Perle really won that battle. León only got occasional hits.

[@luked7525]

Not sure if someone already let you know, But I think you've left the new cruisers with 18" torpedo tubes.

[@BrotherMunro]

Whoops

[@jameslewis2635]

Attacks Italy near the start of the 1930's and is then surprised at the level of cowardice being shown...

[@glauberglousger956]

A liitle info about the new cruiser hull, it's meant to be big and resilient, so reducing beam and draft counteracts any bonuses the hull itself gives (at least you didn't do that with the paper hull ships) I get it's for cost, but that's what the compsct cruiser hulls are for (Spain doesn't have an intermediate cruiser hull, it's either large light cruiser, or super large heavy cruiser) It's similar to the Deutschland class, able to take on cruisers (even with reduced beam and draft, the Hull's stilllarge and powerful), just like the Deutschland though, the existence of battlecruisers will be a slight issue (it can't kill them off, and is more expensive than normal cruisers) Which, isn't a problem if the other nation either doesn't have battlecruisers, or they've all been sunk

[@cathyharrop3348]

8:58: Gak! This is what the Italians are building for themselves?

[@cathyharrop3348]

35:51: It doesn't bother me if you don't show the introductory ship popup list if you: 1) Identify were the battle is happening, Western Med is pretty vague, two, in the summary screen you check the class information for all the ships, three, you hit the stats screen. PLEASE, pretty PLEASE!

[@HerraHidalgo]

Romania vs Ukraine conflict might have been a reality during the inter-war period if the Soviets had not annexed Ukraine.

[@hallowedknight7288]

You forgot the conning tower amour on the new heavy cruiser again.

[@BrotherMunro]

Gaaarrrggggghhhff

[@furlosifurfox5794]

Been a great series so far!

[@cathyharrop3348]

9:04: That would be one of the Austrian built Orjen class DDs.

[@cathyharrop3348]

22:16: Do the personality files have any effect on the fleet behaviors? It seems to me that they do. Of course we've not been seeing the changes of admirals much in the the videos.

[@welpoof1648]

The Begoña class did not change their conning tower armor

[@BrotherMunro]

Ffffffffff

[@cathyharrop3348]

9:48: Since Tanikaze didn't take a hit, that is one of the British built Sparrowhawk destroyers. If she sinks quickly, Salmon.

[@cathyharrop3348]

25:00: ARRRGH! Stats Screen please.

[@jarrodrainsford8296]

Umm why did the Italians/Romanians have the DD Anzac? purchased from the British?

[@BrotherMunro]

Perhaps!

[@cathyharrop3348]

10:52: Romania has allied with Austria, Britain, Japan, and apparently Italy unless Japan is Italy's Ally.

[@georgegunner3858]

It’s a lot easier to get torpedo hits on the ships on the rear of a formation, if your using follow a good way to avoid it is pick a ship roughly halfway down and send it off at an angle before ordering it to follow again 👍

[@MikelH0]

I have just started watching the video, Im guessing the "better than a county class" cruisers will the replace the ones escorting the cervantes (forgot the name) Although I do remember you saying that as long as the cervantes are active the old heavy cruisers escorting them will also still be active

[@BrotherMunro]

I considered that but eventually just decided to have more ships

[@MikelH0]

​​​@@BrotherMunroWhen are you planning to replace the cervantes?

[@johnfranciscastilloatienza2555]

The Italian destroyer Lampo is in flash fire (20:04)

[@franklynfischer5783]

And it became a lamp.

[@cathyharrop3348]

9:01: This looks like she's the Aquila but it also looks like she's sporting five turrets instead of four. 11:49: Nope, she was not the Aquila. No clue at this time.

Palermo Falls! Noticias Marítimas y Mundiales de Cádiz 10 August 1927 The Spring Campaign has succeeded in taking Western Sicily. The initial objective of the war, expectations are that Madrid will stop and consider their next steps based on their analysis of Italy’s ability to resist further efforts.

[@peterseifert_aka_Rocket]

Summary of this episode: Italians acting like French xD

[@RavenWolffe77]

Something that would be nice to see is having 1in (and possibly 2in) guns get a massive fire-rate buff after Mark 3 or 4, to simulate the development and proliferation 20-40mm anti-air autocannons. It would give players a reason to use very-small-caliber guns AT ALL, as currently even in 1890 their usefulness is somewhat limited, and very much not future-proofed.

[@BrotherMunro]

Interesting idea, they do already fire very fast!

[@MrBlunders70]

Romanian DD with the name Anzac?

[@cathyharrop3348]

It was a British Sparrowhawk destroyer.

[@cathyharrop3348]

Something Happened Noticias Marítimas y Mundiales de Cádiz 1 April 1927 The Colón, Isabel la Católica, and Urdaneta were in a battle. They sank the Solferino and Dogali.
