ship design A List of Suggestions for Ship Designs.

[AacornSoup]

I have a list of ship hulls, superstructures, and other parts that I've wanted to see in the game for months, that haven't been added yet.

US:

-16-inch guns for the US Modern Battlecruiser, especially since the earlier US Battlecruiser III has 16-inch guns, but the Modern Battlecruiser currently doesn't; this will also help create a difference between the Modern Battlecruiser and the Large Cruiser.

-Rather than having US heavy cruisers use scaled-down Iowa-class superstructures, let them instead use superstructures from the Des Moines, Baltimore, New Orleans, and Portland classes.

-Alaska style superstructures for the US Large Cruiser and Modern Battlecruiser (as opposed to the scaled-down Iowa-class superstructures).

-Replace the American Dreadnought IV, Dreadnought V, Modernized Dreadnought II, and Modernized Dreadnought III hulls with two or more Standard Battleship hulls. Standard Battleship I should have the superstructures for the Nevada, Pennsylvania, New Mexico, and Tennessee classes. Standard Battleship II should have the superstructures for the Colorado class, and possibly also the South Dakota (BB-49) class. Give the Standard Battleship III the superstructure for the South Dakota (BB-49) class.

-Replace the US Experimental Dreadnoughts II and III with a hull to represent the designed Tillman Battleships.

-North Carolina/ South Dakota (BB-57) style superstructures for the US Modern Battleship I, Modern Battleship II, Fast Battleship, and Modern Battlecruiser hulls.

-Montana-style superstructures for the US Modern Battleship III and Super Battleship, in addition to the current Iowa-style superstructures.

 

 

GERMANY:

-Scharnhorst-style superstructures and funnels for German Modern Battleships and Battlecruisers.

-Admiral Hipper superstructures for German Large Cruisers and Heavy Cruisers.

-Let German Super Battleships, Modern Battleships, and Modern Battlecruisers use American-style Mega Funnels in addition to German-style Uber Funnels.

BRITAIN:

-Replace the current British Dreadnought III, Dreadnought IV, Dreadnought V, Dreadnought VI, Dreadnought VII, and Dreadnought VIII hulls with hulls that more accurately represent the British Neptune, Colossus, King George V (1911), Iron Duke, Queen Elizabeth, and Revenge classes; all six hull types should be available by 1915, since all of these classes were present at Jutland.

 

GENERAL/OTHER:

-Maximum gun size for Light Cruisers can be increased to 8 inches.

-Maximum gun size for Heavy Cruisers can be increased to 12 inches.

-Hypothetical/ experimental "Dreadnought Cruisers", CAs and CLs with scaled-down Dreadnought-style hulls and gun layouts, so that the cruisers aren't sidelined by Battleships and Battlecruisers in the 1900s and 1910s.

-Introduce Corvettes and PT boats to the TB tech tree, so that TBs don't become obsolete when the Destroyer II is researched.

-Add Destroyer Escort and Frigate hulls to the DD tech tree.
