That last battle cruiser is an affront to god. If you weren’t focusing on speed, you could meme your navy more and have the destroyers and light cruisers top out at ~36 knots

Just an idea that I don't see many people doing much, and it would be most applicable to the battlecruisers you built in this episode; Instead of three double main gun turrets, make the aft turret a triple gun, giving you almost as much firepower coming out of the back as you do in the front.
@@BrotherMunro They should fix that then at some point, since a triple turret and double turret of the same caliber and barrel length would be using the same ammunition, and have the same range and ballistics. The only differences ought to be weight and turret traverse speed, or rate of fire (maybe, the internal machinery has 1 extra duplication/compartment on the triple turret, but its the same machinery).
@@BrotherMunro If possible it would be interesting to see some experiments and see just how much of a difference it makes. For example, two identical ships, except one has a uniform battery and one doesn't (just in barrels per turret, not with different calibers), and then see how they do in battle against identical opponents.
The design committee clearly didn't hear past the great leaders lisp He said gotta get Fast ships not Fourst ships. But they certainly saturated their boats with 4 inch guns
@BrotherMunro The part about the "skin picking" I totally agree. I want to be able to choose between a Italian 16" gun or a Japanese one or an American one(and even more so for the secondary guns). From a UI perspective, I feel like it's just another picker sorta-let me explain. You click main gun, centerline, 9-inch gun, triple turret, and then when you click 9" triple turret you can pick furthermore from French British German etc etc(to the extent that the models exist). After they fix the torpedo spamming AI, cosmetic options such as camouflage or more individualization options for the ship and its components would be my next pick(then US and IJN campaigns but yea just my two cents). G'day folks!
Not a lot of people have the informatio, but "murciélago" was the name of a Bull who was bullfigthing in Spain. Is a tradition in this factory of cars to use names of famous bulls of Spain (yes, not only bullfigther are famous, some bulls too). Sorry for my bad english. Pd: the translate of "murciélago" in spanish is "bat", the animal who fly.
i would like the game to instead of having a speed slider that drives chosts up to the moon when you can't propel the ship faster it rather had a shaft HP slider you could play with that calculated the speed determined on draught and beam as i am sure that is what the game already does but in reverse to calculate hp needed for X speed
I notice that over the last couple of campaigns, you are going more full-on Jackie Fisher with the "all big gun" on some designs. Seems to be working out pretty well!
Out of curiosity, is there any cost/benefit (that you know of) to leaving potential displacement in the drydock? Well, aside from reduced cost, I mean.
If you have spare displacement you’re best off reducing the slider until you’re using all of your allowance as this makes the ship much less expensive - there is one advantage to spare displacement though - room for upgrades in future refits
I was really in agreement with all the design choices until the very light secondary armament of the BCs. I really hope that doesn’t come back to haunt you in the campaign. There’s always the possibility of a refit I suppose.
By the way what would you say is the best nation to start as for your first time playing the game as I'm getting it within the next month and I want some advice on game
Nice thing about UAD is that no nation is really inherently better than any other - the only difference is in hull choice and strategic location - so for that I’d say go UK 1910 for your first campaign - you’ve got plenty of hull choice and an easy strategic objective - control the North Sea
So I have recently picked the game up, after watching your vids, and I keep finding the enemy ai sending their whole fleet out after like a couple of my ships. I'm not sure if that is a universal experience or I am just unlucky.
As I say in the description we came up with the idea independently (this was recorded on the 3rd of May) - in fact the idea wasn’t even mine but a vote by the channel community on my Discord just before the stream for the country & year.

The enzo will be the bane of DDs. Imagine it keeps up(roughly, assuming a larger one) with the DD, and has a million 4 inchers

Mixed batteries are really interesting but sadly the game penalises you for using them as the guns won’t share ammunition or fire control

Italian battle cruisers: who needs armor when you sail so fast they can't hit you.
8 x 16" rifles, *42* 4" guns. 42. The answer to the great question concerning Life, the Universe, and Everything. 🤔😁
I got the ship type wrong on the secondary armor on the turrents
Good news is, if you have such low drafts, at least torpedoes probably wind be a concern
The dual and triple 15 inchers were hideous but the quad turret actually looked pretty good with the wider shape and spaced out guns.

U should try playing Hoi4

High rise Barnett's for TRIPPLE 5 in rear move rear main back to do it better that than TRIPPLE 4 on rear
I guess scout aircraft are out of the question?
Max out water line torpedoes and ammo load sneaky torpedoes
@BrotherMunro how about a campaign where you apply the limitations of one of the historical Naval Treaties to you designs?
Or slide forward guns to allow two TRIPPLE 5 vrs pesky destoyers
Secondary armor sucks on battle cruiser
Commendatore would sound better than Enzo.
What's with the spacious crew spaces ?
How else are we to entertain guests properly?!
When is the next battleship division video coming?
Good question, it was supposed to come out in April
So I have recently picked the game up, after watching your vids, and I keep finding the enemy ai sending their whole fleet out after like a couple of my ships. I'm not sure if that is a universal experience or I am just unlucky.
Hmm, first I guess.
Yes it seems so
