Byzance 1932

[Jefgte]

The Panzerschiffe is going to have the right amount of armor to fight in its class against the other ships with 9-11in guns running around.  The 12in gun has the punch.  That being said, if you're trying to kill cruisers, for the weight the 12 gun design is probably best.  Or make the 9 gun design just a little heavier and buff its armor to over 6in.

I am actually planning the 4T3x234 on the 15000t Panzerschiff hull.
4T3x234 shells are lighter but the quantity of shells fired is triple than 2T3x305. The probability of hitting is therefore higher.

I look at your designs and see how inefficient mine are.....for the record.

I will say that older designs are not as good as today's.

15000t is the max for 4HY report

Yep, that's what I'd do.  6in is marginal when facing down 9 and 10in guns, but you can't get more belt without more tonnage.

Definitely proof against anything smaller though, comfortably so.   And not only do you have twice the guns, they individually have a faster rate of fire than a 12in gun.

Only thing it'll struggle with is the rare older battlecruiser like mine with 8x11im and the armor to tank 9in shells.

It is not surprising that a 15000t is sunk by a 26000t.

Pretty capable.

Only thing it'll struggle with is the rare older battlecruiser like mine with 8x11im and the armor to tank 9in shells.

That would be the Japanese fleet.

The Parthians do not have anything like that,  we just have 8 ACs with 8x255/47 guns and 195-200mm belt armor. The more recent Zemekas are slightly faster at 31knots... I guess the two Dahae could be called 'battlecruiser' but we prefer 'heavy armored cruiser'.

The NPCs are sadly undeveloped.
