Perchance some more stability in exchange for some of that very impessive seakeeping?

[Borys]

Looks better.

[Sachmle]

Too far. I shoot for 1.20 for stability for anything that may get shot at/everything. Though not always possible as I also go for 70% steadiness. Sorry if I seem nitpicky, and remember, she's your ship. You can use whatever you want, as long as it's within the rules.  :)

[olekit]

Too slow and not good armament for minelayer. It will be intersepted by the opposite side quikly. Rise the speed for 3 knots less and set guns no less than 105 mm to fight enemy destroyers ;)

[Korpen]

Does this look better, or should I lose even more seakeeping?

I think se is quite nice. Not relly suited for independent offensive operations, but if that is not a mission, she is a really nice minewarfare ship.

[Eugenius]

No gun quite as effective as a 3" in terms of rate of fire, especially with the special 21 lb ammunition at 12-15 rounds per minute.  Broadside of six of these should take care of any destroyer that gets too close, and anything bigger...well, her crew will hope she's escorted!  ;)

21lbs?
That's the heaviest 3 incher I've seen!
Here I'd recommend the kinky calibre of 83,4mm, which baffles me, as it is somewhere between 3,25 and 3,3 inches.

Borys

[Eugenius]

Yes, I was surprised too.  Apparently it was quite a nice gun, used on the Tsushima-era pre-dreads, and later modified into a deck mount with an 80 degree train for AA work.  Used up to and through the Second World War.   :)

[Borys]

Ahoj!
Vsevolod - I LOVE that name!

BTW, the old dynastic names:
Oleg = Olaf
Olga = Helga
Volodymir = Peaceful Ruler or World Ruler or Peace Giver -> Waldemar
Vsevolod = Rule All
Igor = Ingvar or Ingmar (Korpen should know)
Vasil = Basil = Basileos = King
Dmitriy = Demetrios
Ivan = John
