The Air Power Parity Act In order to prevent our enemies from controlling the skies in our home waters, we will construct two new airbases, one on the Baltic coast and one in the Far East, exact locations to be decided by the Admiralty based on what would be most strategically advantageous. They are to be equipped with full complements of aircraft. In addition, any airbases currently below maximum possible size are to be expanded and their aircraft complements expanded to match.

The BuORD Armament Act To keep up with changing developments in the field of warfare, It is proposed that BuORD is given exclusive power to set and modify ammunition and related doctrines

air power does seem like a relatively cheap method to punch above our weight class we need to focus our diplomatic efforts on pushing to bully powers we can deal with, so austria and japan.

I didn't get around to a BuOrd post tonight but I'd like to remind everyone that our glourious nation is currently protected by exactly six dirigibles, an insanely low number that frankly beggars belief.

I am proposing the Let Slip the Blimps of War act after consulting with the bureau and their fascinating advances in thumbscrew technology. This act requires the military to build at least three blimp bases in strategically significant positions, as determined by the Admiral of the Fleets. It also requires these bases, and any other Blimp bases that already exist, be stocked with War Zepplins to ensure that we are never again so humiliated by the enemy as we have been with our foolish emphasis on planes. The enemy will tremble with fear at the inexorable advance of our zepplin fortresses. These will surely provide the edge we need to defeat the french and americans should they ever again try to challenge our power.

At some point we did pass an act requiring a fully-upgraded and equipped airbase in the Baltic region, though I don't think anything has come of it yet because we only have fighters and flying boats to put on it.

This is what we've currently got for airbases and dirigible bases: "Air capacity" shows our two extant airbases and "dirigibles" shows our one dirigible base. Notably, we have no air coverage beyond the baltic, and only a minimal amount there.

Well, first, "low" isn't "off", everything gets researched all the time no matter what I do; all I really can do is shift priorities around; second, how dare you imply that such research is "wasted!"

I don't mind indulging the Tsar's interest in aviation; and these flying toys may one day pan out but they certainly haven't yet. Pinning the hopes of our Navy and diverting the majority of the R&D budget into the pursuit of any and every type of flying machine while neglecting every else is a betrayal of this institution, and can only be explained through corruption, incompetence or malice.

Battleships, Battleships, Battleships Amendment: Nay The BuORD Armament Act: Aye, why not? The more power to BuOrd the better in my opinion. The Air Power Parity Act: Nay. We need more blimps! FARTASS: Nay Back to the Future Act: Nay Let Slip the Blimps of War: Aye Totally Not Blackmail Act: Abstain (I do not wish to go to Siberia. Though if it passes, I imagine it would be funny) Can Samuri Spirit's Fly: Nay (Death to the dead end technology of fixed wing aircraft) The Enough is Enough act: Nay. e: I feel the need to explain my Blimp fanatacism. Blimps are interesting and would be fun to see used. Planes are basically what history used and so are more or less a known and thus less interesting path to take in the LP. This isn't about winning. It is about watching the most interesting story unfold, and that involves blimps. For now. Pickled Tink fucked around with this message at 15:02 on Sep 14, 2019 |

I unlocked airships for recon in my game and goddamn, they are game-changers in terms of finding the enemy ships rather than sailing around aimlessly. It's especially useful if you spend a lot of time chasing commerce raiders since all you need to find is one boat. I'm working in hunter-killer groups where the airships find them, then I dispatch fast-moving DDs and CLs to swarm them.
