Not sure what this one's good for.  The main battery's too light for use against anything heavier than DDs, and the secondaries are light for engaging even TBs.

Hey, Nobody,

Your new 250 t TB, German torpedo boat laid down 1897, doesn't meet the rules for small, fast craft, needs to be capable of at least 24 knots, but it's max speed (not counting trials speed) is only 23 knots.

Hey, Nobody,

Thought so too, but:

Destroyer and TB architecture - Top speed no less than 20kts, composite hull strength > 0.49, and engines must take up at least 50% of normal displacement
1880: Single TTs - max 4, displacement 500t

Viktoriasee, Tanganjikasee...

[Tanthalas]

I actualy like it, (the gun boats that is) as to the TB/DD rule I think that just didnt get changed...

[Delta Force]

How come all of your Springsharp reports are using European number format? Is there an option for that or something?

[Logi]

Yes, you pick metric instead of imperial.

It's in the drop down list right underneath "Dimensions" on the first page. It starts with a default value of "feet" but you can change it to "metres", "all metric", or "all imperial".

[Delta Force]

When I do metric units it still keeps the American number format.
