Hey GD, after having seen - and admired your just so incredibly amazing Queen Mary, I was going to take Jabba's two remaining Cats (Lion and Princess Royal, which I've already helped him with some...) and give them a wholesome do-over. But, having seen your masterpiece, may you should take them in h...
Ok, now we're cooking! Only a few items still to be sorted out: 1) Make the rudder sail area substantially less! Right now it's still too large, and the ship will actually react with jerking and jolting movements, especially at high speed; rendering for instance station keeping and gun laying very d...
Yes, I did misread your statement about the main armament. Sorry about that. Read in a haste, I suppose. 12 9" (or is it 9.2", since 9" is a highly unusual if not unknown caliber...) is quite frankly overkill. Take a look at my Thevai-class which is substantially bigger than yours; it's got only ten...
First of all: I do apologize if I presumed you'd know all the technical terms that we sometimes, kind of haphazardly throw around; abbreviations etc. Secondly: thank you for considering the critique. What you're basically trying to do is to cram a huge main battery into what is a heavy cruiser hull....
While outwardly looking nice, your Adelina-class CAs have several severe flaws and errors: 1) the hull is way too shallow either to ensure any sort of seaworthiness and, most importantly, to allow for those huge (and heavy) turrets; especially as you've got anything from eight (four twins) ten (two ...
if you start critically analyze AU scenarios, everyone will in the end prove out to be impossible if compared to real life. Again, Golly, you're far off the point, I'm afraid. I have been engaged with AUs since the 1990s in a "manual" form (i.e. no computer simulations etc), and was a longstanding ...
impossible, unplausible (sic!), faulty and poorly thougth compared to reality. . No, Golly, on this point I beg to differ! They need not be, absolutely not. Without going into detail and referencing to and reviewing particular AUs, I believe there are those, where the tweak (or twist) of historical...
