Yeah these two morons just about ruined this thread.
When you have spent some time here, you will find that these thread drifts are quite common.  If that bothers you, don't let the door hit you in the ass on the way out.

Sunk German BBs: Hessen, Hannover, Schleswig-Holstein
Sunk British BCs:  Indefatigable, New Zealand, Australia, Invincible,  Indomitable, Inflexible
plus the British destroyer Marne managed to get sunk somehow
You weakened the British fleet and made your own stronger at the same time.  Those predreadnoughts are terrible.
Agreed.  They are like an anchor on the good elements of the fleet.

Actually, there really isn't much in the way of good elements of the fleet left, since most of the Konigs and Kaisers were sunk.  Still, at least the shitty, obsolete engines of the dreadnoughts were somewhat more reliable than those of the predreadnoughts.

Ah so that is why they struggled so much against the British BCs? Thats one thing I dont like in the game: no different designation (like just a single B) for pre-dreadnoughts.

IIRC, they only have 4 11" guns, 2 forward and 2 aft.

I´ve been here quite a few years thank you and you are still the same moronic asshole you were years ago.

Well, that's settled then!

Hi, Hortlund!  I see you haven't changed a bit.  :cool:

I expect you will burst into tears and run away again fairly soon.  That's always fun.

I thought Hortlund was bluebook? Or has there been a nickname change? :unsure:

Not sure.  This one is very quick with the unprovoked personal insults, and I don't think it is Dorsey, so I just guessed.

If someone cared, they could check it out, I suppose.  But this speculation belongs on the main forum.

To the topic, Tamas, I think the "B" designation for pre-dreads is entirely a modern gaming fiction.  The USS Indiana, for instance, is BB-1 (though not designated as that when she was built) and is a pre-dreadnought.  I thus find it unsurprising that some game manufacturers are unaware of the "single-B for predreadnought" convention.

Any battleship with triple expansion engines is garbage.  They're fragile, tempermental and slow.  I'm not fond of the armament layout of the first two German dreadnought classes either.  It's more wasteful than anything the Japanese ever tried, and vulnerable to boot.

Oh man, the RN is a bunch of pussies.
I managed to cut off a couple of CLs and obliterate them, but the rest of the RN turned tail and ran.

Being a pussy allows the RN to win the war.
