Iberia 1910+

[Desertfox]

I've noticed several folks putting aside tonnage for torpedo reloads. As far as I know it's something only the Japanese did.  You can do it too of course, I just find it interesting. So far folks DDs have been returning to base after combat, so it hasn't come up.

And ironically, I have not been doing so, nor will I do so for a while. That might change once I have long lances.

[Darman]

Added range and removed the torpedo spares (Kirk's right, no one seems to be using them either). 

As for what this design is: its supposed to be an updated D-class with 1913 engines, an extra 105mm gun turret, and a short range radio (I think I forgot them in the original design?) Its not the largest destroyer I can build, I have the 1908 tech so I could build as large as 1,000t.  I was actually planning on building a slightly larger destroyer to act as a squadron leader.  A slightly larger design but similar/close to same characteristics and abilities but including a long range wireless and space for a squadron commander.  I keep looking, and I swear to god I'm reading it somewhere my eyes just arent transmitting the information to my brain.  But I can't remember what the composite strength requirements for DDs are.  There were cross-sectional and composite requirements, I was pretty sure.

It's 0.50 cross-sectional.  Don't think there's a composite limit for destroyers.

For some reason I could not remember that, and I could not find it (like I said though, I probably just skimmed past it every time I've looked)

A modification, mostly derived from pushing the laydown (and subsequent engine year) back to 1914.  Also added 8x90mm guns instead of 4x105s.  I figured that the flotilla leader should be able to put out a high volume of fire.  It doesn't have any torpedoes.  In theory it doesn't need torpedoes itself.

Interesting thought with going for 8 guns instead of 4. 

I'd say that the 90mm aren't that much less potent than the 105s that they're going to make or break it.

One thing to keep in mind, which your lay down date wouldn't really know though, is that the wartime experience has shown that larger guns getting single hits are more important than multiple hits by smaller guns.  Something bigger than 105 is probably warranted.  Though if 105 is your only gun option between 90 and 150....the 90 really isn't going to cut your punching power that much, and 9km is probably a perfectly reasonable firing range cap for the sort of fights that this ship will be getting into. 

Overall, this DD leader is really more suited to shooting up small DDs/TBs and MTBs than it is other DDs in its class....within its own class it might find itself to be outgunned.  And while I get that it's sort of fulfilling the 'mini-cruiser' role and its DDs it's supporting will be the ones firing torpedoes, I'm not really sold on cutting off all torpedo armament even though it nets you a few more modestly effective guns.

[Darman]

I suppose I could either add a little more heft to the vessel and add some torpedo tubes, or subtract a couple gun turrets (one from each side) to make room.  These are designed to lead older destroyer flotillas and MBT flotillas.  Iberia is finally getting into the MBT game. 

[Kaiser Kirk]

The key seems to be to have penetrating hits...and as many of those as you can.
Hits which penetrate can critical, and do bonus damage.
As ranges get longer, penetration against armored targets diminishes, but unarmored stays the same.

and 9km is probably a perfectly reasonable firing range cap for the sort of fights that this ship will be getting into. 

Correct observation.
90mm is 9cm, so gives splashes useful out to 9km.
That's a easy-use rule which seems to be close to reality.

Functionally how that would work with 14km FC would be
14000m+ : no FC, -12  (in reality I make it -6 for the next 2-3000m)
9100- 14000m : Limited to Range Finder : +2
9000m : Now can supplement Range Finder with accurate shell splashing and so adjust fire.
SKV gives..+8, then I add +1 for every 1000m < FC Limit.  So 8+(14-9) : +13 at 9000m.

Thank you for spelling that out.  Iberian designers haven't yet had time to process the lessons of the RomAztecian...Romo-Aztecian...AztRomanian...? War. 

[Desertfox]

It boils down to what kind of enemy is this ship going to face? Big 1,500t Roman destroyers? You might want bigger guns. Capital ships? Add torpedoes. MTBs and older smaller TBs? Lots of 90mm and no TT is perfect.

[Jefgte]

I find this type of vessel too weak and of little use in the coming years.

Iberia currently has 40DD of 750t and 10DD of 1000t with 2800nm range and 3900nm for the last.
Under 500t, DD & TB could be used vs MTB.

TB1-class (1894) (1-20)	Torpedo boats		120	1st Torpedo Flotilla
TB21-class (1896) (21-40)	Torpedo boats		182	2nd Torpedo Flotilla
T-class (1895) (1-10)	Destroyers		357	1st Destroyer Flotilla
Q-class (1898) (1-10)	Destroyers		378	2nd Destroyer Flotilla
F-class (1902) (1-14)	Destroyers		365	3rd Destroyer Flotilla
A-class (1905) (1-10)	Destroyers		498	4th Destroyer Flotilla
B-class (1907) (1-10)	Destroyers		750	5th Destroyer Flotilla
BA-class (1908) (1-10)	Destroyers		750	6th Destroyer Flotilla
D-class (1910) (1-10)	Destroyers		749	8th Destroyer Flotilla
D-class (1910) (11-20)	Destroyers		749	9th Destroyer Flotilla
C-class (1908) (1-10)	Destroyers		1000	7th Destroyer Flotilla

I think that Iberia will have to build oceanic destroyers from 1000t to 1500t (if possible) with 105 or more and 5000nm mini to intervene  & protect colonies with the Fleet.

Just my opinion...

Give it a second shaft so a machinery hit doesn't bring her to a dead stop.

I don't like that "Poor Stability" warning... :o
