    This is not a serious take on naval history, but more a shitpost thereof. Please take everything I say with a grain of salt.
    I'm sorry, Elmo Zumwalt.
    The game is Ultimate Admiral Dreadnoughts: store.steampow...
    In Ultimate Admiral: Dreadnoughts you play as the head of a navy doing what the head of navies do best - spend entirely too much money on holes in the water, or, in laymans terms, ships. You can design very stupid things. I do this.

    An addendum on the idea of Austrian China or Austrian south america being odd;
    Not entirely true.
    Tsingtao and the central city of Manchuria had a german presence and brought their culture and industry along with them, training the Chinese army and supplying them in some instances, which would continue into the 1930s.
    South America would hire German advisors and give safe passage to their families as early as the 1910s, and would adopt german equipment which would persist well into the late 1940s.
    Also it should say something about Tex's tunnel vision that he focused on getting bigger cannons but didn't get oil fueled engines until the 1920s were already ensuing.

    Newbie question: if your main guns are over-penetrating, is it worth to consider switching over to HE rounds?

    • @boobah5643
      @boobah5643 4 месяца назад

      Certainly worth considering, but it depends on how much they're over-penetrating and the penetration qualities of your AP and HE rounds. That is, you might go from putting holes in both sides of the boat with AP to little more than scouring paint with HE, albeit with a chance of setting fires.

    You need units with anti submarine ability in the fleet group under in order to protect your ships. The fleet groups act independently. So to protect your battle ships, you need destroyers attached to the ships.

    • @boobah5643
      @boobah5643 4 месяца назад

      It's worth noting you don't actually have to have any anti-submarine _weapons_ to sink subs. I often have sonar mounted on my battleships because of pesky twenty kilometer ranged torpedoes on destroyers and cruisers, but the sonar _also_ allows the battleships to sink subs.

    they may be tied to ships you sold to other countries, i'm not sure
