As SS3's torpedo calculations are pretty unreliable, we still use miscellaneous weights for that. Also are your MG crews trigger happy? That's a lot of rounds. Minor nit would be that you simmed it with a ram bow but it does not appear to have one (length oa is the same as length wl with no stern overhang and no angled bow) although it has no effect of the sim of the vessel. Other than that a nice little vessel I think.

These are not final SS. They need minor adjustments.

Originaly classed as Ironclad, Hydra class were rebuilt in 1900 & 1905 to Armored Cruiser
They receive new VTE engines for 18kts & the British 10" guns.

A few things you might want to correct with your minor adjustments...


The length of the 7.7mm MGs. You have these for each ship...

1904 - 7.7/93
1906 - 7.7/93
1892 - 7.7/80
1900 - 7.7/70
1904 - 7.7/50
1890 - 7.7/50

The early 1880s Maxim gun was 87 calibers long so you could stick to 7.7 mm/80 cal for a variety of the startup ships of the late 1880s, 1890s and 1900s. The 7.7 mm/93 cal could be an updated and improved version of your 7.7 mm/80 cal gun which would be introduced to the various Byzantine ships as of the mid 1900s or something like that. That's all up to you.

Also a few of them are listed as quick-firing guns instead of machine guns.

There is also the occasional gap between the main belt and ends belt which you might want to close with your minor adjustments.

Another minor detail is that there is no Britain as a nation so there are no British 10" guns you can use... but you are welcome to use the Norse Armstrong 250mm/45 caliber guns. :D Alternatively you could go for whatever Roman ~10"/45 guns they have from Edward Vickers... uhm... I mean Edwardius Vickerius (unless snip has banished Vickers from the Roman Empire). :)

[Jefgte]

Thanks for the infos about7,7 MG lenght.

About my SS:
I choose to use principaly British guns - different with the last Navalism restarts when I use US, German & French guns.
I choose also them as historical references.

Ships built from 1890 to 1899 had a main refit or rebuilt when they have 10yo.
=> A ship LD in 1892 could have 1902 guns or engines if neccessary (see Hydra class).
( OTL - Because Greece & Turkish had poor ships)
