Since when is the Winter a major problem for Russia @ APDAF? haahahah wtfman serieusly

And Scandinavia.

Scandinavians either have mild winters (Denmark) or live on a rock (Everybody else)
A couple of thousand square km of mud is not on their list of experiences. Nor are plains for that matter, or long logistics trains.

Norway, Sweden and Finland are very used to snow and harsh winters. Both Sweden and Finland are quite flat and are used to plains as such. I don`t really think there`s that much mud in Sweden. I really don`t know about Finland.

Mainly in Finland, there's forest everywhere. And forest in winter is quite hard to get by...

I'm not denying that
Only in comparison to Norway. And both countries are heavily forested, unlike the Russian plains. In Sweden you have a well developed railway network and in both countries you can rely on coastal shipping. Not so in Russia.
Neither gets hit by mud to any serious degree because the water drains away to the south or east/west. Very few areas depends on north bound rivers for drainage which means that the river mouth thaws before the hinterlands does.
The Russian plains on the other hand mostly drains north. That's why it gets so muddy in the first place. All the snow and ice starts melting before the rivers open up which means the water have nowhere to go.

Here`s a wip of the first dreadnought of the Viking fleet:

I think it would personally make more sense to move one of the ft turrets to the Q position (between the funnels) but that may not even work on this ship and it may be too advance of a setup depending on when this ship was built

I am thinking of it being launched in 1907-1908. The setup is to make it original as no ship has ever been built with that setup.
