Is the Pokola supposed to be like an AMC (armed merchant cruiser?) This is really cool is it is. The hull shape looks like a merchant vessel. May I suggest adding a substantial AA battery for use as a carrier group escort? The seaplane catapults are a nice touch, but I feel like a merchant ship-type bridge would be really cool looking.

Hello, there is about 4 AA weapons, these guns are capable of taking down planes and maybe bombers. The pokola is a AMC, and the carrier version is really just a refit.

I'm a little late on this, apologies.

Did you ever decide to do anything with what I PM'd you, with Oregon Country? I think that would be a solid base for you to start off of.

You said that you want German tech and that implies why you want to side with the Axis. That doesn't have to be the case though. As apdsmith said, you're on a land border with the US, and that is a no-no. They'll have defeated your nation before you even utter out your declaration of war on them.
Before you determine what side you are on, you need to figure out what of German tech you want. So what do you want? Do you want the technology and building methods or do you want the actual equipment, like Tigers, Panzers, etc? (because you're not likely to get that anyways)

Hey guys here's an update,

This is what i have done so far with the Kulat Battleship. Im still working on its weaponry, its AA is really good, its main gun is great. And for recon the ship has a plane to be used.



Right now im looking for color and making sure the sizes are right.

Ok...before you go any further, perhaps best to give the following heads-up: you've got a nice (German) BB-hull, but a senseless conglomeration of boxy..., well, boxes put atop it, without any obvious sense of their function and intent. The bridge, I can tell, will be one of those "newbee" 'a few windows, no bridge-structure, is all' thingies, and, where on earth did you plan your uptakes?

An advice: plan your whole ship before you put on armament. Right now some of what you've got just doesn't make any sense! And the nice,well-detailed hull (borrowed?) will have no congruence with whatever you decide to put on top of it!

Also note that of the big gun forward uses different shells to the big gun aft what are you supposed to do if you run out of shells for the forward gun?

Note that there any several problems with this arrangement, but this is normally considered the biggest problem of the lot.
