    "How many will fit?"

    *British admiralty in UA gets less ships and tonnage than Germany and France* : Meh... Don't really care. You do you, guys !
    *British admiralty in real life when a fishing boat is built in Germany or France* : Quick, let's build four new battlecruisers !

      *Modern British Admiralty in real life* : "Let's build an aircraft carrier, that we have no aircraft for, that's meant to operate in the North Sea, the Northern Atlantic and the Baltic Sea, and let's make it so that the engine doesn't work in cold temperatures."

      Yeah refit times is something I need to look at but like many things in the game it is a little off in terms of scaling which makes balancing it hard

    First Clash at La Havre!
    Le Républicain Provence, Marseille
    MCMVIX, 19 June 1909
    The République class Cuirassé de 1er rang Vergniaud, from the Le Havre Base navale principale in Seine-Maritime Department, sortied to defend her Base when the Ägir Class German Schlachtschiff Grosser Kurfürst of the Kaiserliche Marine attempted to destroy what parts of the facility she could.
    Only over Vergniaud’s sunken hull.
    Vergniaud sighted Grosser Kurfürst to the south-west with the setting sun to the German’s port. Both sides opened fire, with 320mm shells leaving Vergniaud and 256.5mm shells coming back. Grosser Kurfürst got the firs hit, but the damage was minor. These minor hits must have frustrated the Kapitan of the Grosser Kurfürst because he turned her towards Vergniaud and began to close. The Ägir class has its eight twin 256.5mm gun turrets mounted fore, aft, and three per side, with one pointless 183.1mm twin turret mounted aft to fire over the main battery. Closing as he was at such an acute angle the Kapitan was not able to take advantage of all the guns in his broadside.
    As Grosser Kurfürst closed she began to get more hits, even flooding Vergniaud forward. But Vergniaud’s 155mm guns came into play, and their high explosive hits, added to the armor piercing shells of the 320mm guns began to give Vergniaud the edge. Grosser Kurfürst was flooding forward as well. Vergniaud launched torpedoes at Grosser Kurfürst before the Schlachtschiff had a chance to launch back. As the battle continued the bulkhead on Vergniaud broke and her flooding started to fill anther compartment heading amidships. Grosser Kurfürst however was flooded totally in two compartments with two more filling. But when Vergniaud took flooding hits aft and began to list the Capitaine de vaisseu ordered his ship to break away from the battle. As the ship turned however the gunnery officers were able to fire one more salvo and the torpedo officers able to launch their second spread of torpedoes. Grosser Kurfürst sank as the torpedoes came screaming past her bow, going down with 1150 of her 1292 man crew. 142 survivors were picked up in the Channel. Vergniaud took 303 casualties out of a crew of 1689.

    Russian Admiral Warned
    Le Républicain Provence, Marseille
    MCMVII, 12 July 1907
    First Deputy Commander in Chief of the Russian Republic Fleet Lev Enqvist seems to be in trouble in Moscow. His modernization of the fleet has been more expansive than budgeted for by the provisional government. He has been “warned”, but about his spending, or about building an immense power base in the form of a large and modern navy.

    Italians Aggressive about French Navy in Central Med
    Le Républicain Provence, Marseille
    MCMVIX, 6 August 1909
    Despite the best efforts of Grande ammiraglio Luizi Hazon of the Regia Marina the Regno d'Italia
    Has chosen to involve itself in the war between Germany and France. They have demanded that the Flotte de Marseille and the Flotte de La Rochelle cease supporting the invasion of Cyrenaica and return to French waters.
    We of course can’t have the Italians dictate the scope of our operations against the Deutsches Kaiserreich.

    Unstable from the start, and unable to end the war with the Empire of Japan, though the Soviet Union secured the province of Xinjiang, they have not lasted. A counter-revolutionary force has taken control, and the Russian Republic declared.
    As of now the Russian Republic is still at war with the Empire of Japan, and still engaging in colonialism in Asia, attacking the province of Mongolia.

    @richgweil 8 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    When the Eastern China naval invasion popped up, you had almost 1M tons of shipping and it required ~200K. When you say you would need just about all your battleships for that, is that because you'd need to have much more than 200K tons to have a reasonable chance at success? Just curious.

      It is most efficient to not use your priorities, the mod lessens this effect though (mostly to help the AI).
      Yes there is a penalty if you are trying to research a tech that is five or more years ahead of the current date (it doubles the research required) - I should say it’s 5 years in DIP, in vanilla it is different

    MCMVIX, 15 February 1909
    Without opposition the Russian Republic Army has walked into Northern China and taken control.
    Questions have been raised in the Chamber of Deputies by various right wing parties as to why the Corps d'Indochine has not walked into Eastern China and taken control.
    Grand-Admiral Kazimierz Smirnov opened attempted to provoke the Marine Nationale, who calmly replied that is he wanted to come out of the Baltic or Black sea we’d be happy to meet him, otherwise he should go back to hitting his families stock of vodka.
