This picture in the end should have left the bulk of this capital ship force logically placed where it should for any move of the Kaiser’s Hochseeflotte. *Which in addition, thanks to a gentleman’s agreement between France and UK, left the Mediterranean to the French fleet.
They were basically a deterrence force stockpiled in the firth of Forth to block any move in the Atlantic from the Kaiserliches Marine.īattlecruisers were the cavalry, able to probe deep into the north sea or catch enemy battlecruisers, while pre-dreadnoughts were either in additional reserve in Scotland, or spread throughout the Empire, fighting in less contested theatres of operation such as the Mediterranean, Africa, the Falklands or the Indian Ocean and the Far east.ġ-The Royal Navy prior to 1914 still clung to a 70+ years old doctrine: Having twice as much firepower than the next two world’s best navies combined.Ģ-The opposing naval strength in 1914, with a small and trapped Austro-Hungarian Navy* and smaller Turkish Ottoman Navy soon trapped in the black sea, there was only the German Empire which was of some concern. To pile on even more information, if anyone has any ideas about how to get more submissions or get more community involvement in the campaign, let me know.Īs always, feel free to critique or comment on the ship or ask any questions below.Overview poster of British Capital Ships in WW1, including projects (light grey)īritish Battleships of WW1 comprised three types of vessels: Dreadnoughts, 21 of them which made the meaty bulk of the Royal Navy, 12 Battlecruisers, and 51 pre-dreadnoughts.
(on older ships, if steam engines don't work, just message me and I'll update the file) I'm also looking for people to help test out the ships already designed and to provide feedback on potential changes and suggestions along with issues with ships.
If anyone wants any additional information about the faction or campaign, feel free to message me or comment. If anyone is interested in submitting a vehicle or structure or building something for my faction please let me know, I'll also gladly take suggestions for ships to use as references or ideas for crafts that would fit in with the rest of the faction. This build is not meant to be competitive at all in the campaign and was supposed to just be a small quick build, but I decided to post it anyway. The weaknesses of this ship are rather obvious in combat, pretty much anything, especially submarines, fast flyers and things with missiles. It's armed with 6 medium torpedoes, 6 large side turrets, 6 small side turrets, 2 main dual barreled guns, 3 simple AA guns and two medium case-mated turrets. The Salton Class is not going to be a normal enemy in the campaign but it is still functional. The Salton is a small and extremely ineffective ship built to go with a structure I'm working on for my campaign.
