A great and a lot of work, done by you on the one hand and Zoli / csatahajos on the other hand. Very interesting to study. I even didn't know that there were more design variants as Siegfried Breyer mentioned in his book. For example Breyer doesn't mention the pre-official design variants in his bo...
Nice to see that someone else took the time and effort. It took about a year for Zoli to draw and myself to research and write that article plus several revisions, so I can see that this was no 5 minute job either.

Mike, I think you shouldn't be going around telling people what to design, seeing as you don't design anything yourself. Colombamike is a important member here in the forum, yes he doesn't draw and that is okay, but what he do, is quality check drawings we post in the real design section and never ...

Regarding the Springsharp report: I really think you need to do it over. 0.65 Hull strength? It should be at 1.0, unless you're making room for significant improvements in the future, in wh...
The presupposition of this scenario is that: France, Belgium and Great Britain are able to repulse the German advance into Belgium.
