The Frenchies!

[Tankerace]

Here are shots of two of the three French ships in the game.


The Dupleix class Desaix. Armed with 6.4" guns, she is a large protected cruiser, though rated as an armored cruiser.


The Edgar Quinet class Waldeck-Rousseau. Armed with 7.6" guns, she is the equal of most other nations armored cruisers.

Whoa! This is great, Tanker. When did this happen? Keep the multinational stuff coming. I think it adds a very tasty demention to the game.

[Tankerace]

Well, thanks to that sentiment(and some extra time) I am re adding in the Dutch fleet, including the uncompleted Java class Celebes. However, they arrive as reinforcements in 1926-1927.

Yoohoo ! We are there ! Thanks Tankerace ! [8D]

WoW, it just gets better all the time, TY for all the hard work[:)]

[BossGnome]

yes very cool! The entire french Navy consists of 3 ships in the pacific? I have no clue about that time period, but this is historical?

[Tankerace]

I don't know if it is 100% historical, but these are the only ships I can confirm as being in the Far East during WWI and the 1920s.

[showboat1]

Historical? I thought the whole point of htis was a HYPOTHETICAL war. That's okay though Tanker, I love your work here, keep it coming.

[Tankerace]

It is hypothetical in terms of what happens once it starts (sans Washington Treaty). However, I am trying to make it as historical as is possible up until war breaks out.

[bradfordkay]

Don't forget the possibility that the French might send reinforcements once the war starts. If you have room it might be fun to add in maybe a Mediterranean Fleet Battle Squadron rushed to the scene via Suez. What would it take, two months? (To get the ships there... I'm not belittling your work whatsoever!). [8D]

[BossGnome]

looks very cool actually. Will the japs have a chance though? seems to me like you would need to give them more than they had historically, no?

Hi,
something I noticed:
aren't those underwater torpedo mounts which were in a forward firing position ? In the graphic they are LS/RS.

According to my sources, while many French cruisers had bow torpedo mounts, these two carried them in broadside tubes. If a reputable source conflicts with this, I will change it.
