i vote for 22 and 23 as a hight priory , we need to make our merchant ships count as war ships under navel law.

Which 22/23. Because I just noticed I made a numbering order.

Fixed it btw.

I vote for 18.5, too. This should hopefully supply us with a nice, future-proof destroyer escort. Bigger ships will need to be engaged by bombers and/or torpedo boats, of course, but currently our main problem are submarines. It is, in my opinion, more important to design a future-proof design that both provides us with the solution to a current problem and will remain useful instead of a design against a not-yet-encountered thread that will become obsolete pretty fast.

24 is pretty neat, though, especially as it will not really require any new technology. Addition:
24.1: Build those 'Q-Ships' by bolting one of the 40mm autocannons on them. That will make it possible to engage submarines, requiring them to attack submerged, which in turn will make the attacks much more difficult due to slower speed and less ammo. No need for anything else - 40mm should pierce or damage pressure hulls, making them dead in the water, and anything bigger can't be defeated no matter what we design. Plus, possible use against aircraft.

I misnumbered 22 and 23. The Q-ship is number 24.

And none of you could say that last night when I put the idea up so people could suggest changes before I wasted time on it.

[Ukrainian Ranger]

Brood, our fleet is not doomed in case of big ships because we have nice, rapidly growing coastal batteries designed just for that situation. add a fleet of torpedo boats that will swarm larger ships to death. Add 700 biplanes that can carry bombs and some new dedicated bombers we will produce

I vote for 18.4, too. My preference is - no destroyer, small theoretical work towards my destoryer, my destroyer now and with large allocation,  original destroyer offered by Brood


10ebbor10, I am not against sparing several engineers for airship, but as much as RAM no way. Especially experienced aviation engenieer should go to the fighter development, make version with less experienced engineers and I'll support it.

[Brood]

(( I quit, I ask for opinions get nothing then when I go ahead evetybody disagrees. ))

[tryrar]

Dude, we said we needed ASW ships last night. Weren't you listening?

BTW, I vote 21, we need the new diesel into everything that'll fit it.
Also, something that slipped my mind:

12.2)Name high-velocity 40mm the HVG-40
12.3)Retool the 40mm mark-1 production line for the HVG-40, and retrofit all existing mark-1s to the mark-2 standard

[Brood]

ASW is anti ship....

[tryrar]

*Facepalm* ASW is Anti-Submarine-Warfare

[kahn1234]

ASW is anti ship....

ASW stands for Anti-Submarine Warfare.

the ones that are now 23/24.

[10ebbor10]

Timezone differences.

[Brood]

I've never once seen ASW used for anti submarine. This is why I always explain what the letters mean. You couldn't of corrected me when it became obvious I had the wrong idea?

And I don't look up random letters on wikipedia.

[10ebbor10]

I have looked around a bit, and can't find any term you could have confused the abbrevation with.

[tryrar]

Well destroyer escorts were famous for being subhunting ships, so there's that as well....
