I note "Poor seaboat &  limited seakeeping ability" on all SSs.

What is the rules impact in our SIM with:
"Good seaboat vs poor seaboat" ?

Jef

For destroyers Im not to worried. It is a fitting description for most of the historic hulls.

...It is a fitting description for most of the historic hulls.

Hmmm, not sure (?)

What is the rules impact in our SIM battle with:

25kts, Good seaboat vs 25kts, poor seaboat ?

[snip]

Im going to pre-emptivly dodge all the dusty textbooks that will get thrown at me no matter how I respond here.

On a personal, and thereby somewhat GM, level, my opinion is thus. For anything that would fall under the category of Light Craft such as destroyers, the seakeeping model in Springsharp is really broken and as such is not a reliable metric to use. Considering how it handles speed and freeboard in the calculations, small fast ships are always going to have a garbage rating, as exemplified by Guinness here. [Sidenote, this is a very good thread and I recommend everyone read it.] In practicality, the difference between seakeeping ratings for various simmed ships this small in size has little to no relation to how the type as a whole (eg, destroyers) would perform under a given set of conditions. Therefore I am more inclined to ignore the rating for light craft, except perhaps in cases where the value slides to an extreme end of the scale.

Again, I await the textbooks.

[Walter]

I note "Poor seaboat &  limited seakeeping ability" on all SSs.

Funny that you should mention it because all my destroyers have it as well. :) (A-class: 0.74, B-class: 0.72, C-class: 0.70, D-class: 0.72, E-class: 0.86, CDA-class: 0.78, F-class: 0.89) I pretty much apply it because of what Guinness mentioned back then. I try to keep it as a minimum of 0.7 but if the OTL design demands it, I will go for an even lower seaboat rating (like I did with several of the Chinese destroyers and torpedo boats).

For anything that would fall under the category of Light Craft such as destroyers, the seakeeping model in Springsharp is really broken and as such is not a reliable metric to use.

Well, the simple fact is that Springstyle/sharp as a whole was not made for destroyers and torpedo boats and submarines and MTBs (not just the seakeeping model). Seaboat rating of submarines when simmed with SS is always 0 so a lot worse than any of the destroyers we have ever simmed.

Still interesting to see that Destroyer E design which clearly tells us that snip will be spending 6 points to get the 1908 DD/TB/MTB tech. Also the 1906 and later design still using 90% coal might be an indication that you did not spend points on that tech or just a single point so it is available at the start of 1910, :)

[snip]

No, I got 1906 Engines on time (look at what my dreads are using for drives). I just have no territory with a native oil supply (even fudgeable ones really). So, my first colonial adventure will be securing oil.

[Walter]

No, I got 1906 Engines on time (look at what my dreads are using for drives).

Yes, I looked up and saw your 1909 dread design with 90% coal so it is based off that one. :)

I just have no territory with a native oil supply (even fudgeable ones really). So, my first colonial adventure will be securing oil.

Well, no mention was ever made during the discussions about such resources and their availability and if the idea is to simplify things then we should just assume that each nation has access to oil supplies to easily fuel the whole fleet.

[snip]

Im intending to use it as a roleplay eliment as to why Rome is going colony hunting, in no way is it required for others to do as such.

[Walter]

Okay... but then if you are going to role-play it and apply "no territory with a native oil supply (even fudgeable ones really)", would that not mean that it is even questionable that you would have enough for 10% oil? Probably better to apply "some oil, but lots more needed."

I will use KISS and assume oil is there for the Norse Kingdom from several locations though there will be lots more in the area between Norway and Scotland which cannot be reached due to the technology not being there yet. Even if a nation has decent supplies of oil, more oil is always better. :)

[Kaiser Kirk]

I'm hoping to get to constructively commenting on other's ships this weekend, fairly busy so we'll see.

As for oil, it's always hard to correlate the province map with real world places,
but I think you have the right parts of the Hapsburg empire for oil. It looks like you have the Galician bulge on your NE border.
"Oil and gas in Austria. At the beginning of the 20th century, the Austro-Hungarian monarchy was the third-largest oil producer in the world, 1909 the maximum output was 2.077,000 tons, which came mainly from the eastern part of the monarchy (Galizia)." And from wiki : However, the number of oil refineries increased from thirty-one in 1880 to fifty-four in 1904.[8] By 1904, there were thirty boreholes in Borysław of over 1,000 meters.[8] Production increased by 50% between 1905 and 1906 and then trebled between 1906 and 1909 because of unexpected discoveries of vast oil reserves of which many were gushers.[5] By 1909, production reached its peak at 2,076,000 tons or 4% of worldwide production.[8][9] Often called the "Polish Baku", the oil fields of Borysław and nearby Tustanowice accounted for over 90% of the national oil output of the Austria-Hungary Empire"

Overall this is a question for the Nation development thread.
While I would love to insert strategic resources into the equation and I do  have a 1944 Brookings institute report somewhere which included a bit on strategic resources and where they were found, and there are plenty of online sources as well.  They are a great source for conflict or colonies.... Gee, your oil fields are rather exposed to the Germans), what exact exploitable* natural resources does Norway, Scotland, and Iceland have in 1900 ? Nice Nickle deposits in Petasmo...Swedish Iron mines over the border...  but starving them of resources without other compensation seems a bit harsh.

Then there's the Parthian Empire, with Baku aka the Russian fields, the Iranian fields, The Iraqi fields, the Kuwaiti fields, the Saudi fields....I'm going to be swimming in oil.  So I shouldn't complain.

*exploitable at that time, technology and lowering of standards has made more exploitable now than then.

[snip]

Well, that is a interesting chunk of info. I might revise some of the later designs to be pure oil then.
