*Sigh* If no one has gotten it yet, it's Kaiser Wilhelm II, and I'm afraid that the drawing looks exactly as if the Kaiser's penmanship's been evident...

Bingo bezobrazov!

I and not putting AA's on her as aircraft are not as much a threat as they would be.

And the thing about double decked casemates is that they are linked together so both point at the same target.

Actually that's a point. Wasn't part of the point of the Germano-british empire AU that heavier than air aircraft never 'took off' so to speak (I seem to remember discussing that when we started out)
So shouldn't you have a recon airship rather than a sea plane.

Your casemates are linked together so they both point at the same target... that's dumb. That's really dumb. It is really easy to point ALL your guns at the same target, they don't have to be linked physically to do so.

It's got 48 casemates so it is not that bad.

And I decided to keep aircraft but keep them basic.

What is keeping them basic?

And you didn't answer any of my objections. I wasn't talking about numbers...

Keep them in world war one as in tech.

And if you look at my Britannia/Konig Albert class it has also double deck casemates.

I didn't mean when, I meant why would they not advance?

And having double decks on another ship doesn't make them good. They will have problems there as well.

I am just saying that I am using them.

Aircraft where not as used as much as they was in WW1 as airships where more useful.

Why are you using them though. There are serious problems with them (ammunition feed, foul weather stopping the lower deck firing etc etc) and having a single deck would be cheaper, cut into the hull less, and be more useful.

Why were airships more useful?
