Barnest and APDAF.Just a few suggestions.Maybe if you are going for an Empire/political union instead of an alliance, consider standardising your guns,directors etc.I would use German guns which used the built up method of constuction rather than the British wire bound.Less wear and droop on sustained firing,better shells etc.
With this early period, I'm really experimenting by hacking together ships and seeing how they come out. I've never drawn a dreadnought before
Read Castles of Steel by Robert K Massie.Essential reading for this era of naval warfare
I have it
it's awesome.
We are later going to use h44 guns.
Those are the 30.5 inch guns or something ridiculous. I most certainly am not using them.
