CL Porcupine: “WHERE IS MY CONNING TOWER ARMOR??? I guess Admiral Munro hates his navy officers. Oh well … (Sigh)”
If the officers blunder their ship into the enemy's firing line, that's on them. :)
@@onceuponaban true
When you were building the Lyon...
1) Why didn't you touch the "Side Guns" tab? You could have added four guns to each broadside.
2) If you moved the third 12" turret to the lower quarterdeck, you might have been able to fit a third pair of 155s.
Other countries: how many casmates sir?
only a few
France: how many sir?
Yes
ya know, i really with the tabs on the left in design, like "casemate armor" "turret armor" "citadel armor" would sum up the total weight of everything in that category just to better find where weight issues are. Like, veterans could ignore, but somebody getting into the game, or who otherwise is terrible at keeping track of everything but still likes the kind of game, would find some use
For the predreadnoughts I absolutely love the French experimental battleship hull and its following upgrade. I always try to keeps those useful all the till the end of the campaign.
I play lots of Japan and I highly prefer Battleship II to Semi-Dreadnought. It's easy to get some rather large secondary guns on the upper decks that can pen CAs.
They're both unlocked by the same tech. You'd think "semi-dreadnought" would be better given the name but it just isn’t to me!
I think this is the most peaceful early start I have ever seen. lol
On Infernet (Tricolore) the rear tower did fit right behind the funnel allowing placement of superfiring rear main gun, maybe idea for a refit 👍
Whenever you get the better dreadnought hull and the super dreadnought hull (it’s that even the name) you should probably make it into a gun aplenty with doubles, triples, quad. Hmmm
41:25 forgot to upgrade steering from steam to hydraulic
Drat
Re: Design of the Aspirant Herber class of Destroyers torpilleur.
Personnel de l'Amirauté: Division de construction navale: Bureau de conception:
Rapport de bureau: 4-Aug-1899
The Aspirant Herber class will consist of thirty Destroyers torpilleur designed to a target displacement of 850 tons and a top speed of 28 knots. The class has three multiple expansion engines powered by induced draft boilers burning coal vented though two funnels generating 5,225 indicated horsepower turning two screws for the required top speed on a design displacement of 848 tons fully loaded with a balanced rudder turned by hydraulic power for an operational range of 6,920 kilometers.
The class' main battery is four single mounts super firing two fore and two aft bearing 80mm/30 Mark 2 guns, turned by electric engines with enhanced reloading. The main magazine carries a balanced standard load of standard sized 50% Base Fuze HE and 50% capped AP shells using Poudre B as the propellant and Guncotton as the bursting charge. One dual deck torpedo launcher firing 430mm Mark 1 compressed air aided torpedoes rounds out the armament.
Nickel Steel armor is clade 10mm on the main belt, 10mm on the extended belt, 5mm on the main deck, 3mm on the extended deck, 10mm on the superstructure, and 10mm on the conning tower. The Class has a double bottom hull, reinforced bulkheads separating improved compartmentation, counter-flooding systems to avoid listing, pumps and piping for flooding reduction. A crew of 95 officers and enlisted men will be provided standard quarters.
The class will consist of the lead ship Aspirant Herber and twenty-nine other ships to be named on commissioning. Build time will be 7 months with a commissioning time of 1 months. Cost per ship will be $4,941,193, and monthly maintenance in port of $192,707.
How have you still not invested in some kind of filter for your keyboard and mouse sounds!
23:28: you could have put two 155mm on the aft deck, or even one centerline.
Re: Design of the Bretagne class of Cuirassés de 1er Rang.
Personnel de l'Amirauté: Division de construction navale: Bureau de conception:
Rapport de bureau: 2-Sep-1897
The Bretagne class will consist of three Cuirassés de 1er Rang designed to a target displacement of 18,000 tons and a top speed of 18 knots.

The class' main battery is two twin turrets mounted fore and aft bearing 260mm/40 Mark 2 guns with 360mm face, 80mm top, 350mm barbette nickel steel armor, turned by electric engines with enhanced reloading, and advanced flash fire protective systems. The main magazine carries a balanced standard load of standard sized 50% Base Fuze HE and 50% standard AP shells using Poudre B as the propellant and Guncotton as the bursting charge. The secondary battery is four single turrets mounted two per sides bearing 155mm/35 Mark 1 guns with 180mm face, 80mm top, 80mm barbette nickel steel armor, The tertiary battery consists of twenty-two single 80mm/30 Mark 2 gun mounts. The secondary and tertiary magazines carry an HE heavy standard load of standard sized 62.5% Base Fuze HE and 37.5% standard AP shells. Six underwater torpedo tubes launching 405mm Mark 1 compressed air aided torpedoes rounds out the armament.
Nickel Steel armor is clade 300mm on the main belt, 100mm on the extended belt, 50mm on the main deck, 25mm on the extended deck, 2.5mm on the inner deck, 100mm on the superstructure, and 360mm on the conning tower.
The Class has a single bottom hull, reinforced bulkheads separating extensive compartmentation, counter-flooding systems to avoid listing, pumps and piping for flooding reduction, and anti-torpedo bulges. A crew of 1201 officers and enlisted men will be provided spacious quarters.
The class will consist of the lead ship Bretagne, Magnanime, and Saint Louis. Build time will be 16 months with a commissioning time of 3 months. Cost per ship will be $57,507,450, and monthly maintenance in port of $2,357,805.
what about single wing turrets on the experimental?
As a french i like this lets play.
You not ready fof late Batleship french hull😊😊
Could’ve you make the 80 mm secondary mount of the BB twins instead?
More confident in your ships than I am I suppose. I'm doing refits every 5-7 years and as such dont often build much in the way of newer ships.
When I do though I tend to do it in big batch classes all in the name of streamlining build times and eventual refits. It works as I had two predreads I built in the 1890s last all the way to campaign's end in about 65 albeit I was unable to effectively refit them past 1930 😅.
Loving the series so far though and am seriously thinking of downloading the mod.
27:01 the secondary tower is the wrong way round 😂
Doesn’t seem to cause any issues 😂
@@BrotherMunro well in general uad sailors seem to have a surprising ability to ignore which way around something should be... Considering how common primary towers maskeradeing as secondary towers are....
Hit the side gun tab when trying to fit main side guns on the experimental then it would have let you!!!
A little puzzled by your reliance on 80mm secondary battery but your the Admiral. Hope that doesn't come back to bite you.
Hwell then, at the very least Aspirant-class does have aspirant engine.
Aha found the refits i missed
Poor Indomptable not getting upgrade on her deck thickness
Doesn’t need it yet (I hope…)

I imagine that Portugal is in a race with the Ottoman Empire and the Netherlands for 11th greatest naval power, and may actually be edging Spain out of 10th place.
Didn't the secondary tower blink green just behind the funnels on the tricolore??
Honduras Falls!
Le Républicain Provence, Marseille
MCMI, 14 July 1901
After sixth months of operations, with the Corps des Amériques (the Americas Corps) brought in to fight besides the Fusiliers Marins (Naval Infantry), and with the support the Flotte de Brest, the government of Honduras has surrendered or gone into exile in Argentina. Early losses are not all available, but the Fusiliers Marins and Corps des Amériques suffered over 300 casualties while inflicting nearly 4,200 on the Ejército de Honduras.
29:12: Now if Portugal had stayed our allies they wouldn't be losing Portuguese Guinea (Guinea-Bissau).
Cancel that ship I need more space for MY designs. But Sir that ship is promised to Portugal. They paid for part of it. Sailor what do you see on my shoulder? SIX stars sir. And what does that mean sailor. You rule sir. What was that? You rule sir. Louder! YOU RULE SIR! Damn straight. Now cancel that ship and tell the Portuguese what I think of them. LOL
Spanish-Mauritanian War Ends
Le Républicain Provence, Marseille
MDCCCXCIX, 5 January 1899
The Reino de España has completed the conquest of the territory of Mauritania, seeking to end the slave trade that has been carried on there for decades. The Ejército de Tierra took 3,532 casualties in the campaign. The native Mauritanian tribesmen 11,594.
When building the new battleship it had 200% armor rating
Oh whoops, well I'm sure that won't cause me serious issues later...
200% armor is a good thing yes?
@@jppauley9969 no it doesn’t have 200% armour I had the viewer in 200% mode 😅
Peace Treaty with Liberia
Le Républicain Provence, Marseille
MDCCCXCVIII, 12 April 1898
After an inconclusive campaign the government of Liberia has signed a convention with the Troisième République Française that ends their acts of piracy and provocation. We will have to watch to see if the regime in Monroe lives up to their word.
I still don't understand how Power Projection works. Why is it recommended to have ships in all regions/seas, wherever my colonies are? Does it improve our army effectiveness, or the economy, or what? I'm also totally at a loss concerning how land invasions work and how I can support them. For example, if my army is attacking from a landlocked province to an enemy landlocked province, is there anything I can do to make victory more likely?
Power projection is pretty easy to understand the basics of, more ships and more tonnage means more power projection. More power projection means less chance of you losing transports and more chance of sinking enemy transports. As for land combat there is very little you can do aside from just having the biggest fleet you can.
@@BrotherMunro thanks very much!
Defeat of the Kiribati Pirates
Le Républicain Provence, Marseille
MCM, 4 December 1900
The Fusiliers Marins (Naval Infantry) have defeated the Kiribati regime, secured Tarawa and liberated the Western Gilbert & Ellice Islands, establishing a protectorate over it by the Troisième République Française.
Is there a way to establish fleet organizations such as a named fleet (Atlantic Fleet, Mediterranean Fleet, etc.)?
Sadly no that would be very cool
you can't consume Denmark
Is it illegal, inedible and out of season?
Millimeter measurements Not my cup of tea in America
"Cup of tea" how totally not British of you
Just divide by 25 mm to get inches or use a converter app.
I’ll also switch between sometimes in the later episodes
Divide?? But math is haarrrrdddddd!
@@jppauley9969 as the Barbie doll would say math is hard ,like my men 🤣😂😅
Weird it deleted my comment, anyway loving the campaign
Can you explain hiw not to get behind in the technology tree I keep getting behind in the tech tree and I don't know what's going on
You need to keep your research slider as high as possible but you also need to make sure your economy is growing, the bigger countries will always push ahead on tech overall.
@BrotherMunro what about the priority research do I use those or not?
The more of them you use the slower your general tech improves
There's pros and cons either way. A lot of people will use 1 or 2, speeds up certain things with lower impact on your general advancement.
@@jppauley9969 exactly this, priorities slow your research overall but they do allow you to get what you want faster.
hi brother munroe ive tried couple of campaigns with the new beta 1.5 patch with your balance mod, an just be careful when at war, as ive noticed nations are desolving after few months at war, i was playing germany an at war with france had couple of months of war then it desolved, then after with uk an desolved quickly, im not sure if its the beta or the balance mod, just keep an look out, i hope its not your balance mod as i love your mod it maybe the beta 1.5
Countries can dissolve if they get multiple revolutions in succession, it’s a vanilla feature it’s just more likely with the mod
ok maybe lol but keep a check in your campaign in case it happens@@BrotherMunro
Austrian Admiral Visits Paris
Le Républicain Provence, Marseille
MDCCCXCIX, 15 January 1899
Großadmiral Josef von Wüllerstorf of the Kaiserliche und Königliche Kriegsmarine’s visit to Paris has been hailed as a great success, laying the ground work for improved relations between the Österreichisch-Ungarische Monarchie and the Troisième République Française.
More Irresponsible Governments
Le Républicain Provence, Marseille
MCMI, 13 March 1901
The Congolese government in Cabinda, in the former Portuguese Congo, has been attacking French citizens and property in Cabinda. This is another intolerable regime, unable or unwilling to govern its own people. The Corps Afrique (Africa Corps) of the Armée de Terre (French Army) have asked the Force d’Action Navale (Surface Fleet) of the Marine Nationale (French Navy) to provide support. Seeing this as an opportunity to exercise the whole fleet, the Flotte de Marseille has been sent,
Six Cuirassés de 1er Rang, the Bretagne class Saint Louis, the Lyon class Solférino, the Gaulois, lead of her class, the Démocratie, lead of her class, the Normandie class Brennus, and the Indomptable class Suffren, along with the Tricolore class Croiseur Léger Naïade, and two Aspírant Herber class Destroyers torpilleur, Valmy and Le Fortuné.
