Post Startup Ships of the Regia Marina Italiana (1900-19XX)

[Jefgte]

Correct 9000t cruiser.
Have a 120m lenght could be useful.

BCs 0.435 & 0.498 are low.

Jef

[Tanthalas]

the BC on both is meh... as to the size, belive it or not they are direct copies of OTL ships (well more or less Direct Copies)

The AC is a Clone of the OTL Roon Class (German AC) http://www.warshipsww2.eu/lode.php?language=E&period=&idtrida=1983

and the PC is a more or less Direct Copy of the OTL British Chalanger class http://www.warshipsww2.eu/lode.php?language=E&period=&idtrida=2168

[Jefgte]

clone...

That could be too, German / Tan mixture.

It's got an error in it:

>  4 - 11.00" / 279 mm 45.0 cal guns - 666.00lbs / 302.09kg shells, 80 per gun
>     Breech loading guns in casemate mounts, 1900 Model
>     4 x Twin mounts on sides, evenly spread

Other than that, I doubt that 11" casemate mounts would work w ell at all, and I've doubts that, after you take off for the 3 twin turrets and the 11" casemates that you're going to have much of any room for the 4.7" casemate guns.

[Tanthalas]

Just forgot to change em when I deleated the 9.2" twins they replace.  and actualy I have quite a bit of space from deleating the pair of 9.2" twins off each side.  the error actualy costs me more weight LOL, but as to the functionality IDK either, I know that OTL Cuniberti proposed more or less the same one for his "Ideal Battleship" just using wing turrets instead of an X...

well since we do have a few people posting post dreadnaught ships I thought I would go ahead and throw this girl out and see what yall think of her.  Honestly its proly as close to a battlecruiser as ill ever build in the Dreadnaught era (or looked at another way its what ill build cause my "battleships" will realy be battlecruisers) it assumes ill have alot of techs available on the first turn that I could but meh I can always bump it back a year if I have to.

So with Great fanfare I present to you the Ultio class Armored Cruiser in all its totaly underarmored glory, but it is FAST and has a broadside that would require sending real battleships against it (Yes its based on what you think it is).

Just continuing to experiment, the name says all there realy is to know about this ship, but at 24 knots and change it would be among the fastest ships in the world even in the early Dreadnaught/Battlecruiser era.

Just continuing to experiment, the name says all there realy is to know about this ship

Well, yes, yes it does.....  A very fast eggshell armed with a sledge hammer.  :)

[Tanthalas]

Suprised I only got Comments from Kworld on the name, well I kept playing aorund with the ship last night, and now I feal an odd desire to build it, seriously I know its Horibly flawed but its calling to me with its Siren Song (Proly has somthing to do with the fact its now the only 1.00 acrossed the board ship I have ever designed).  So here it is the still horibly flawed but interestingly perfect version.

101 tons is stuff I havnt got around to figuring out

Looks nice.  She is going to be a pain to take down though.  I might need to think about upgrading Japan's slipways... The secondary armament is a bit light though?  Or did you decide that the 4.7s were good enough and you didn't need anything a little heavier?  Not that anything that would need a heavier secondary is going to be able to keep up with her anyhow...
