While this is true, it's only true up to a point. Having, let's say, 6 x 4" DP guns in addition to 18 x 5" DP guns will negatively impact your overall HAA factor, but having something like 16 x 4" in addition to those same 18 x 5" DP guns will increase your HAA factor. Yes, I lov...

1. There are one or two random events that has an enemy ship hit one of your mines, but I'm not sure it's frequency is related to the number of minefields (or coastal batteries) you have. The main (IMO) benefit of coastal batteries is that they prolong enemy invasions, giving you time to react and _...

Early game, your fire control is none-existent, so you need as many barrels as you can get - the old "throw enough stuff at the wall for some to stick" approach. I build quite un-historically large CA/B that will sport 24 secondary and as many tertiary guns as I can cram into them. Note: E...

One thing to keep in mind is, that if you train night fighting, the likelihood of getting night battles increases. That being said, not to the extend you have experienced - I don't think I have seen such a bad distribution of night to day battles...ever. I haven't really counted along, but on a gues...

AFAIK, they are pretty random. You can usually influence if one fires (call for a conference or something) and then you have 2 or 3 options to influence the limits in tonnage, gun-caliber and duration - to be honest, I really love the new way they are done (they used to be just handed down by the ga...

I just received my physical copy here in Germany today, so I wanted to give you a quick "thank you" for the fast delivery...well, and for hosting RTW3 in the first place, of course.

Anyway, keep up the good work but also take a break once in a while .

Greetings from Germany,

Update: After sending another CA to the Med and upping my blockade score to 78, Italy is now blockaded. I seem to remember from RTW2, that Italy receives a bonus against being blockaded? If this is the case and you need, say, 120% blockade strength to blockade Italy, the pop-up text should probably ...

Ok, so I (Germany) am allied with Austria-Hungary and the USA and in a war with Italy (on it's own) I have a blockade strength of 58 in the Med, A-H has a blockade strength of 120 and Italy has one of 46. The pop-up when clicking on the Med reads: "Own blockade strength: Germany: 58, USA: 0, Au...

Tiny little nitpick (hey, I _am_ German, so I simply _have_ to do this :) “I’m sure I can,” answered Krupp, “but at least initially it will come at the cost of the railroads, the Army’s guns, and steel for our growing cities. If I may ask, why in the world do we need such a massive increase?” “Das E...

First, keep 'em coming :) Second, now let's look at the BCs :) On first look, I liked the Strasbourg the most, but I'm really not a big fan of casemated secondaries on anything beyond first-gen Dreads. The Aquitaine's 13" guns would be a deal-breaker for me. If she had 14-inchers, I could go wi...

I just solved my money sink problem. I got a single ship inside a nebula that could not escape this trap. This ship constantly got the order to retrofit. Then stopped again. Money paid of course. This pushed Annual Expenses -> Ship Building to its limits. Solution 1: assign this ship to another emp...

I saw his "one step" as a 6 year old in TV (b/w) with the family in the middle of the night (everyone was allowed to stay up).

It started my interest in everything space and SF.

Thanks a lot!

BTW, Open Office works quite nicely with this too.

<r> <QUOTE><s>[quote]</s>ORIGINAL: witpqs<br/> <br/> Those claims have been made about television violence for a long time.
