Unfortunately that ship is not permissible under the rules. What we have (tentatively) agreed on is that techs that would be researched between 1890 and the start of the sim become available 3 years after the listed date, which is the amount of time it would take to research the tech if we were gaming the turns. Due to the inclusion of the turreted intermediary guns (both 274mm and 164mm) this ship would not be allowed until 1894 at the earliest. Capital ships in the 1890-1894 era need to conform to the following: Main guns in twin turrets, secondaries in casemate. If you wish to propose a modification to the rules, please do so in the tech thread.

Valmy-Fontenoy-Jemappes-Wattignies

On the Valmy did you mean for the last to have simple reciprocating steam engines? Seems like that would add to the ship's capabilities if they became VTEs. I would note that she and her sisters would still be under construction at the start of the sim. As compensation, with that laydown you would be able to use 1900 engines. [Note: Tolbiac needs to be corrected to 1890 engines] Also, that 240mm/45 is something we might have to talk about. Im not opposed to it out of hand, its just supper close on the legality. More then willing to come up with a way this can be built.

This is unrelated but Jefgte, do you intend to play France? I ask because you indicated a desire to play Germany previous but is now simming French ships.

Finaly, I prefer France.
I reuse the 1895-1899 Plan & SS.

http://www.navalism.org/index.php/board,362.0.html

Jef

I have started a new plan - 1890-1899
For the moment, that give 168 ships for 532 000t (540 000t max)

Proportions:
1BB - 2AC - 4CP - 6AT - 8TB

BB => 10000 to 13000t
AC => 7000 to 10000t
CP => 4000t
AT => 2000t
TB => 250 to 400t

168?
... maybe I should be a little bit less modest with my numbers and be more aggressive...
*goes to quadruple the size of the Chinese fleet*

You need to check your engine years. If your laydown is pre 1898, the engine year should be 1890. If 1898 or 99, you can use 1900 engines.

Also, my apologies for not catching this before you redid things for the engine year, we are going to be using misc weight to account for torps as opposed to the built-in SS3 bits. There are some rather glaring flaws with that bit of the program, so the misc weight is the chosen option.

Good job!

One note - I think the largest 34 cm gun you can have at this point is 35 calibres...

Unless it's a historical mounting, that is.  I don't know French hardware very well.

Seeing as a look at NavWeaps give no 340mm guns of that caliber (only a L45 introduced in 1912), you will need to downsize them to L35 at the longest. If you are basing these on a historical weapon, please share your data with us.

Wow, nice job.

BB Brennus had 340-42cal mlle 1887

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/French_battleship_Brennus

Jef

Then you must use the historic length and shell weight. Otherwise they need to be L35s. Conways confirms that the guns did exist, but I cannot find more info on them. My guess is you may have better access to French sources then I do, so if you could turn up more information that would be great.

I prefer re SS BB3 & BB4 with 340/35cal & stronger secondary artillery.

Those transports are really fast.  Do they need to be?  You could replace some of that machinery with more troop/cargo capacity or scale down their size and cost.

They have escort speed (battleships).
Higher speed give better protection vs enemy warships.
Fast transport could be an advantage in colonial conquest.

   Seaboat quality  (Average = 1.00): 0.59

Hull form characteristics:
   Hull has raised forecastle,
     a normal bow and a cruiser stern
   Block coefficient (normal/deep): 0.600 / 0.611
   Length to Beam Ratio: 5.00 : 1
   'Natural speed' for length: 9.92 kts
   Power going to wave formation at top speed: 71 %
   Trim (Max stability = 0, Max steadiness = 100): 69
   Bow angle (Positive = bow angles forward): 0.00 degrees
   Stern overhang: 0.00 ft / 0.00 m
   Freeboard (% = length of deck as a percentage of waterline length):
            Fore end,    Aft end
      - Forecastle:   20.00 %,  8.69 ft / 2.65 m,  8.69 ft / 2.65 m
      - Forward deck:   30.00 %,  4.76 ft / 1.45 m,  4.76 ft / 1.45 m
      - Aft deck:   20.00 %,  4.76 ft / 1.45 m,  4.76 ft / 1.45 m
      - Quarter deck:   30.00 %,  4.76 ft / 1.45 m,  4.76 ft / 1.45 m
      - Average freeboard:      5.54 ft / 1.69 m
   Ship tends to be wet forward

Ship space, strength and comments:
   Space   - Hull below water (magazines/engines, low = better): 156.8 %
      - Above water (accommodation/working, high = better): 48.3 %
   Waterplane Area: 1 386 Square feet or 129 Square metres
   Displacement factor (Displacement / loading): 72 %
   Structure weight / hull surface area: 23 lbs/sq ft or 114 Kg/sq metre
   Hull strength (Relative):
      - Cross-sectional: 0.89
      - Longitudinal: 2.73
      - Overall: 1.00
   Cramped machinery, storage, compartmentation space
   Extremely poor accommodation and workspace room
   Caution: Lacks seaworthiness - very limited seakeeping ability

Misc weight; 16t
16t for harbor tender work

Engine 800 shp for tug work
Good seaboat @ 10kts, max speed allowed.

cost 0.04BP x 18 = 0.72BP

Going to add Auxiliairies in the Fleet.
Add costs.

AUXILLIARIES		Dep	LD	Cost
Troop Transport	Ville d'Alger (6 in the class)	6900t	1896	10,35BP
Collier	Chaumont (10 in the class)	3000t	1894	7,5BP
Transport	Loire ( 4 in the class)	2032t	1896	2,32BP
Tender	Saone ( 6 in the class)	740t	1896	1,11BP & 4,44$
Hopital	Alpes ( 4 ships in the class)	1350t	1898	1,35BP
Tug	R1 to R18	160t	1898	0,72BP
			TOTAL	23,35BP & 4,44$

With a cost of 23.35BP for auxilliaries, BP for 1900H1 & H2 are going to be short for warships...
