France 1904-1905 projects

[Jefgte]

After 1901 - 12000t BB Austerlitz class,
New SS to studies:
with VTE or Turbines 20 000shp max)
=> BB - 3T2x12" - 18kts & 21kts - probably 14000 to 16000t
Different armament possibilities could be tested too
=> CP - 4000t - 24kts

Jef, any specific reason you stick to 100% coal instead of dropping it to 90% coal and 10% oil?

No specific reason, just an option not choosed in SS...

I kinda like the latest one. 

[snip]

When did France research a 12"/45? Per the gun table, that is a 1900 level gun. I see France was researching the tech in 1902H2, but we dont have record of doing rolls for it. Therefor, the 305/45 under research in 1902/H2 is not yet legal for France. Please get the mods tech roll information so we can clear this up.
