Admiral Scheer - Raider In the Indian Ocean AAR - Scn 42 Empire

well us I did think that that is one reason I give modern design ships higher Durability than stock calculations. Could not really find anywhere to suggest a higher rating would be in order for the deck. It does seem pretty light to me as well...

Please note was hit by one bomb before that started a fire beforehand - can fires trigger Magazine explosions even if further hits do not??

Yes the fires can trigger the Magazine explosions but if the bomb hits and it states Magazine explosion, it probably hit the Chief Petty Officers girly magazine stash and they were just so hot . . . [;)]

You may see a message about flooding the magazine due to fires.

Please... The German Pocket Battleships were efforts to put battleship caliber guns on a heavy cruiser displacement of 10,000 tons. The 11 inch gun was chosen to give more guns than a 15 inch gun would allow as the expected scenario was to outrun capital ships and out-gun cruisers. They did not have a good DP gun for secondary so they went with the WWI design of a 5.9" secondary armament and a 4.1" heavy AA. So the Germans had to sacrifice armour for the gun power they wanted. They thought their side armour would keep out 6" shells but at the River Plate battle they found it was not so. It is no surprise the deck armour could not cope with a 500 lb SAP bomb. Even with the light deck armour, the Germans had to remove/not install the armoured conning tower to improve seaworthiness. Too much gun, not enough protection.

I really liked the premise. Very unique!

Too much top, not enough bottom. Just like some people who are enhanced but just don't look right.

I know of one top-heavy lady who was all natural - but she had to have a surgical reduction because it was causing back issues. She is still the loveliest mom I know. [&o]
