Yeah, not sure why SPEED KILLS wasn't included? I seconded it. Dreadnought What Your Country Can Do For You was also seconded. Flying the Flag: AYE Build a Battleship: NAY Land War In Asia: AYE Verni Paradox: AYE Dreadnought What Your Country Can Do For You: NAY Speed Kills Initiative: AYE

Speed Kills OP was formatted badly and probably got overlooked. Dreadnought was superseded by Build a Battleship since after discussion it was deemed overly ambitious.

It's just a lot of  and because it comes on the heels of a seconding it's easy to overlook if you're just skimming for acts to vote on.

I haven't played this one yet (but I'm close to cracking), but a question: Is there a design we already have that's good enough and tested enough to spam out a few to replace our losses? We have some big boys on the slipways but we've lost some destroyers and I'd like to see more destroyers and light cruisers out asap. If it's anything like RTW1, a design we already have (maybe modified) is cheaper and faster to build.

Okay, work kicked my rear end, then I needed to spend £180 to get the back door lock fixed. but here we go All acts pass! We now need a battleship with 4 12" guns! Here is the save!  Here we go with the real hard mode- Austria-Hungary! can I escape the Med to become a world power once more?

Certain things, like changing weight, will make it a whole new ship, but a redesign is entirely possible.

 Having failed again with the Vit Elefant to win a ship design contest, Helmund & Son try a risky strategy for their next ship; namely, ignoring the rules. I'm pleased to present the Åsidosätta:   file:https://www.dropbox.com/s/t8pyqaf6zle5ai7/%C3%85sidos%C3%A4tta.30d?dl=0 You may notice that we have, er, made an unconventional interpretation of the design specifications. We felt very strongly that a 4 x 2 x 12" armament would make her obsolete before she has even launched, so we have opted for an improved 4 x 2 x 14" main battery. This slight increase in expense will dramatically improve her combat effectiveness and give her a fighting chance against the dreadnought designs which are already leaving slipways. Her belt and deck armor make her invulnerable against her own guns, with up-armoring around the turrets to future-proof her against better-armed designs. She makes a peppy 22 knots and has a sensible armament of fourteen 4" secondary guns that are sufficient for swiss-cheesing marauding destroyers without confusing the aim of her main guns. Overall, she may not be the battleship the navy ordered, but she is the battleship the navy deserves.

That's a bold move Cotton. For reference, quote:No Ship Left Behind Act: So it's a knot slower, and also the guns while bigger are -1 quality instead of 0 quality Let's see if it pays off

Tbh I couldn't find the No Ship Left Behind Act in the thread so I just made it as fast as the Blyat, so truly no ship will be left behind at least.

 (Prince Valeryan Igorovich Urodlivyy, founding member of the Русские созданы для борьбы и победы Salon, at a historical costume ball in St. Petersburg, circa 1899)  The Ensign of the Русские созданы для борьбы и победы Salon, Circa October 1906 While the Salon believes that there is already a suitable entry in this contest, in the form of the Dukh Zakona, we believe that the plans can be improved even further. Thus, the Русские созданы для борьбы и победы is proud to present the Кот Бегемот class battlecruiser.   Ship Blueprints & Ship Profile At the cost of roughly two inches of belt and turret armor, we have been able to bring Behemoth to life at a roaring 27 knots, giving the Tsar a suitable honor guard whenever he travels abroad. We believe the brilliance of the Duhk Zakona design was in the development of twelve inch secondaries, and by putting them into dual turrets we have eliminated any potential decline in their rate of fire. Obviously the Behemoth will be best suited to working in conjunction with screening destroyers, perhaps upgrades from our current Podliv class, but with the massive size of the primary and secondary batteries and its incredible speed it will be able to keep any ship carrying heavy guns at ranges that will make its comparatively lesser armor a non-issue. So long as she stays 10km out, she fears nothing- and anything drawing closer will be utterly annihilated by her broadsides. Your most leal relative, Valeroshka

While I am a formal member of the Salon, I do feel obligated to throw my hat into the ring for a ship design. While technically battleships were selected, I feel as though our Majesties Yacht needs only the best to keep up, which means a cruiser designed for heavy battle.  I present the Riga. A smaller offering, she boasts the 12 inch guns we are proficient in building. With her emphasis on Speed and Long Range, she will be more than capable of keeping up with the Czars yacht and with her armored secondary battery of 8 inch guns she is more than capable of meting out damage to smaller, but more nimble combatants while keeping up a steady stream of fire on the larger capital ships of our foes. I feel as though this design captures the spirit of our desire to provide the Czars flagship with nothing but the best, most capable and speedy vessels, and at an affordable price tag. Design Link

No gods no rules, the Tsar rules here and the Tsar deserves only the best. And the best can be found across the seas. Or in other words, you are all thinking too small. If you're going to break the rules, break 'em good and hard. The P_C Design Bureau presents to you the Tsesarevich, which will rule the seas as the Tsar rules the Russias.  Tsesarevich.30d Just to give some perspective of what the other nations could/are building right now. This battleship would be immune to all current Russian naval gunnery over its vital components, has increased protection against torpedoes and 9x16-inch guns which can sink any of the proposed ships at ranges less than 7,000 yards or greater than 15,000 yards while being impervious to return fire. Nothing anyone in the world is building can threaten this ship except for our own superlative destroyer force.

Saros posted:Jesus f'ing Christ. I know, I was trying to keep costs somewhat reasonable. The secondaries have infinite ammo though so it's FIIIINE. Though I guess I did have some tonnage to play with. Maybe I'll make a B variant. Maybe I'll let it compete as it stands. If we put it in for refit when we get better 14" guns, we can always bulge the hull and fill it with more shells Though when I go back to check things, it lets me put the 12" guns in turrets now. WEIRDNESS. As for costs, iot's competitive with the Åsidosätta on price. That's just what a Battleship costs nowadays. Inflation is hell.

Thought you guys might appreciate this so cross-posting. Some early French aircraft pics for you:  Very early biplane indeed.  Your engineers were so busy asking whether or not they could, they didn't stop to ask if they should.  Mais pour quoi François?  Where we're going, we won't need eyes to land...  This one is a low cantilevered-wing monocoque monoplane that was wildly ahead of its time in 1911. Unfortunately it could not achieve flight.  This was an attempt to solve the Allied deficiency in machine gun timing gear in WW I. You may to look closely to discern its drawbacks.  Modern fighter entered development in 1935, was delayed by problems for so long that the lone production plane manufactured never made it to French service.  Nothing wrong with this heavy fighter, it was just scheduled to enter service in 1941.  Ditto for this fighter.

Nope, it's a wheeled airliner with a pusher-puller configuration. You can see the pusher prop behind the cockpit, which is mounted mid-wing. It's two-engined but that wasn't enough by a long shot. wiki: quote:The Blériot 125 (or Bl-125) was a highly unusual French airliner of the early 1930s. Displayed at the 1930 Salon de l'Aéronautique in Paris, it featured accommodation for twelve passengers in separate twin fuselages. Between them, these pods shared a tailplane and a high wing. The centre section of wing joined the fuselage pods and also carried a nacelle that contained an engine at either end and the crew compartment in the middle. When flown the following year, it displayed very poor flight characteristics and although attempts to improve it continued on into 1933, certification could not be achieved and the sole prototype was scrapped the following year.
