Personally I find national sheets easier to use and find stuff than megalists. If I want a particular British gun or an American missile I don't neccessarily want to trawl through 800 guns just to find what I want. I doubt if we've even half of the possible marks of guns, differing shields and mounts etc. Smaller states of course wouldn't justify a national sheet but certainly the Superpowers do just for the size they can be alone.

The other benefit of national sheets, and what I loved in partciular about Erik_T's excellent US sheet was that the directors can be shown too. Nothing winds me up worse than some joker who puts random radars all over the place. That's a bigger problem than hull penetration given the increasing types of FC radars since the 50s.

I think the idea of deck penetration is useful but really without 100% exact data its pretty meaningless and folks should be working out for themselves what can be done. I can see Eriks arguements but the crazy kitbash brigade still won't take much notice and we'll forever be dogged by pixel issues as members fight over whose counting is the most accurate.

I drew the French 100mm Modèle 53 deck gun for my FS Suffren. It's a bit plain-Jane - but I've not seen it mentioned here yet, so here goes:

being a lazy bustard I haven't contributed much to the parts sheets; but I have great respect and grattitude to those who work on them. Overall, I would find it better to have 'parts' by nation when dealing with such as the USA, Russia, GB and other larger navies.

but to me, the current sheets for those nations look way too small. look at the dutch parts sheet I am working on, it is 3 times as big as those and it isn't even complete! the dutch produce quite a lot of stuff for the navy, but I would think the US navy would have one 20 times as large.

Then if it were me, I'd combine two small nations on a single sheet.

You dont got them all.
You miss a lot of guns on that sheet for post ww2.
Also the more stealthy 4.5'' british gun.

no that was not my point..... a small nation (like the netherlands) has an huge sheet, while the US navy and the RN have small ones...... I would think that those were 5 times the size of the dutch one.
