We have 17, the Germans have 11 we don't know how many the British have. My opinion is that we should at least get the Kaputnik and the destroyers into the fight before we start another project; and we have more subs than they do for now at least.

Agreed

Isn't that the same as putting EVERYTHING to low, because now nothing gets priority? If that's the case, ha ha, very funny, someone fire that guy out of an 18" cannon.

Oh my god its broken glitchy garbage. No Fire control and no AoN Armor means it's almost totally worthless. The fire control can maybe be fixed but the Armor scheme setup for AoN but not actually having it pretty much means it will instantly sink the second it takes any hits. We need to scrap it and start again with a non broken build.

Yeah, I dunno what happened but it became 220 tons overweight, lost its AoN armor, and lost its fire control directors in being put into Grey's game. That's frustrating as hell.

FIRE for effect Act, Revision of 1914

Based off the initial FIRE for effect Act of 1901, which expired in 1908, we should update our standards for ammunition and targeting. Our 18 inch guns will be able to penetrate the vast majority of ship's belt armor inside 8 or 9 km, and also break through most deck armoring at 17-24km range. However, the smaller guns on most of our fleet are still comparatively limited. As such, the doctrines are set based upon what the majority of our ships are using. As this means we cannot hope to pierce more than 9 inches of armor, we will still be primarily using HE rounds and reliant on our Destroyers to finish off our foes.

Ship Ammo Loadout %
4-6" (sec) : 20/80 AP/HE
4-6" (main): 40/60: AP/HE
7-10": 70/30 AP/HE
11"+": 70/30 AP/HE

Target B/BB/BC

HE/HE/HE 4-6
AP/AP/HE 7-10
AP/AP/HE >11

Target CA

AP/HE/HE 4-6
AP/HE/HE 7-10
AP/AP/HE >11

Target CL

AP/AP/HE 4-6
AP/AP/HE 7-10
AP/AP/HE >11

This change in doctrine shall expire when we have 18" guns on more than half of our Battleship fleet, or January 1, 1924.

e: Modified as noted below.

Given how quickly AP tech advances oner the next few years and the 14/18'' guns we are employing i'd advise swapping out the bolded ranges above. Otherwise We are going to get absolutely womped on in BC/CA duels.

The Tzardoom Act

Rumours are circulating that the Tzar's personal yacht is not equipped with the biggest and best guns. Thus the navy is, when the opportunity presents itself, to refit the Tzar's yacht with the biggest and best gun(s) available at the time of refit. This is not to be done more than once per year.

I like the KGV-class for scale.

The Put Our Destroyers To Good Use Act

We have been commissioning some fine, fast-moving torpedo destroyers. Such weapons can be devastating to even the largest ships in skilled hands - so let's make sure we put them in skilled hands. We will enact Torpedo Warfare training immediately, and keep it active indefinitely unless repealed by a future Act.

I can't support this, while training in the buildup to conflict is good having it running continuously costs more per month than building a battleship so it would be a crippling drain on our finances.
