What's a "V turret"?

The designation for an "Aft Centerline Superimposed" turret position.

2. How often should I design a new class? Part of the reason I lost was I didn't make any designs for extended times.

My preference is to do a "new" design after no more than two "build cycles". Even if you don't do anything other than "open design" and tweak any spare tonnage you have, the long build times tend to mean you're leaving tonnage on the table if you just keep building the same designs, and some extra tons can mean an extra half-inch of armor or a couple more secondary guns, or more ammo for the main guns, or...

I'd suggest that build a wave of a class (I tend to do 2, that will change based on your position), maybe build a second wave if you haven't got a lot of tech, then create another class.

Dive bombers get the ability to carry torpedoes at some point, usually well before missiles. At that point a dedicated torpedo bomber becomes kind of pointless.

You've got at least 2 players, and it is probably going to take at least a week for each term, so maybe just go ahead and make the thread?

Especially if you have to spend a while picking a nation and ruleset (as I said, I think varied tech would be a hard must, but there's some other stuff that would need worked out). That would probably be the best way to generate interest.

I'm surprised nuclear propulsion isn't in the game considering it fits in the timeframe.

The devs ruled it out because they didn't want to deal with the ramifications of nuclear powered ships routinely taking damage.
