The Royal Navy has decided to pull its finger out and a massive clash of fleets off the island of Malta is in the offing! Do the British have ships that can actually compete? Or will a torrent of 18 inch shells spell their doom?

6:46 I disagree, I think that with how compact the ship is it should have a significant effect… Naturally if recoil causes other problems you should tune it down…
Somebody will have to explain to me how, in the era of radar 3, the British managed to sneak a fleet into Malta. Malta, of all places! I mean, it's not like the entrance to the Valetta harbour is particularly wide, let me tell you that much.
In any case, it seems the tide might be turning in your favour. They have resisted very gallantly, but their losses are mounting.
I don't know why the Dichoso draws in all those destroyers the last couple of episodes, but it's hilarious.
The British Bellerophon is in flash fire during the battle against the Spanish battleships and battlecruisers (27:16)
PS: Why are 4 British light cruisers stopped (32:52)?
Good to see a proper battlefleet engagement. I'm a little confused about why you're so obsessed about Malta. It seems to me a few well placed naval invasions along the African coast could result in the army having enough support in numbers to make some major land grabs there.
Brother Munro. Would you support the idea to add Pirates to the game? They would get 1/20 off all scrapped DDs and CLs from all nations. They would steal transport ships and refuel in minor nations under false flag.
Those 5×3 6" guns are terrifically good.
With the adjustments in DIP to Max Fleet Size; what do you think about adjusting the default amount of shells, so that you're still able to use some HE after ripping through distraction forces of CA/Ls and DDs? Would the flash fire chance also go up in turn; or do you know of a way to set that independently so that the higher amount of shells is, effectively, the default amount of ammo and "Increased/Decreased" shells scales as it currently does?
I've noticed that the British have a light cruiser hull that is nearly impossible to flood. Ran across one with 1.2 inch main belt. Nothing could get through it.
No they were not stationary. Paralyzed in fear YES. Being stationary is merely a symptom of the extreme fear the dear in the headlights moment.
33:33 looks like the ai just gave up.
14:49 How is it possible that this British BB carries an empty barbette
I just realized you are already in the 1960s. Maybe your next play through could be an 1895 – 1945 Russian conscript play through. Crew training funding never to exceed 25% and research never to exceed 75%.
Regarding the torpedo hits in the big battle, ai hit its own ships. I think one or two of your ships hit but mostly were ai.
Its awesome that you have a battleship called the Flying Penguin. I'm surprised that the game hasn't thrown in a Cacafuego yet. Would make sense since both were nicknames.
