Those are some really slow DDs. Sure they can gun down any other destroyer no problem, but forget about getting a successful torp attack off with them. I think I have a couple cruisers that can almost catch these in the same era.

Those are some really slow DDs. Sure they can gun down any other destroyer no problem, but forget about getting a successful torp attack off with them. I think I have a couple cruisers that can almost catch these in the same era.

First, these are  gunboats for patrols & coastal actions.

Second, they are not made for attack but for defense.
battleline protection & auxliaries escort.

...& finish damaged slow down enemy ships


4x120+4TT-21kts on 500t, these are 66 economical gunboats.  ;)

[snip]

I'm not sure how comfortable I feel with these being built to destroyer rules. I know we use to have a minimum speed of 24knts for them and Im beginning to see why.

i"m not sure that all DDs built in this restart have a minimum speed of 24kts... (?)

Jef,

Can I see what these ships would look like if they were constructed to the cruiser rules?

Can I see what these ships would look like if they were constructed to the cruiser rules?

IMO, 24kts minimum speed is difficult to obtain without turbines

I counter with the Roman A-Class Destroyers, which can make 24.38 knts on 1892 SREs.

I'm not saying we need the limit back, as I think the engine weight is a much better way of having a limit. I just don't know how I feel about these specific ships under the DD rules. But given those other ships, it looks like there would need to be a broader talk about it if I'm going to contest these on a gut feeling. Given the age of the ships, I don't think it's an issue we need to spend a lot of time on. As long as the ships meet all the legal requirements for being built to Destroyer rules, I have no further complaints.

I counter with the Roman A-Class Destroyers, which can make 24.38 knts on 1892 SREs.

While Jeff's TGB is heavier, your A-class destroyer is 31% heavier than my A-class (giving your design a lot more 'breathing space' than mine) and 622% heavier than the Parthian Dart-3 design.

I tried to match the OTL British A-class, though mine is slightly heavier than the heaviest of the A-class sub classes, slightly faster than the "27-knotter" group and uses single expansion engine because triple expansion engines are not allowed (and by the looks of it, the A-class were built with those engines).

OTL British A-class destroyer
Built: 1892–1895
In commission: 1893–1920

Displacement: From 185–340 long tons (188–345 t)
Length: 200–210 ft (61–64 m)
Propulsion: Triple expansion steam engines, Coal-fired water-tube boilers
Speed:    26 kn (48 km/h) or 27 kn (50 km/h)
Complement: 46 to 53
Armament: 1 × QF 12-pounder gun, Up to 5 × QF 6 pounder guns, 2 × 18 inch (450 mm) torpedo tubes, Daring and Havock-class ships had a third torpedo tube in the bow, later removed.


Norse A-class destroyer
Built: 1892
In commission: 1893-
Displacement: 347 tons
Length: 200 ft
Propulsion: Simple reciprocating steam engines, Coal-fired boilers
Speed: (sim) 23 kn, (trial) 27.44 kn
Complement: 39 to 52
Armament: 1 × BL 75mm gun, 5 × QF 57mm guns, 2 × 18 inch torpedo tubes.

It is necessary to take advantage of the rules to give the possibility for SS original ships, other than those who participated in the WW1 & 2.

Novelties are good.
