If you go "metric" the metacentric height in "performance" is still displayed in feet. (I reckon that less than a bug...) regrds, TM

There are problems with the internal geometry of the machinery in SS 2.1. Once you go with a very fast design, needing a huge powerload but a very fine hull you "would" get problems with the space...

Quote:Not so in SS2.1. I had designs which would need 150 m waterline protected to cover 100 % of machinery and magazines. Unfortunately the hull has only a length of 135 m... But SS takes the...

I do suspected this already. Just to give a sample: ----, ---- ---- laid down 1950 Displacement: 4.752 t light; 4.929 t standard; 5.411 t normal; 5.796 t full load Dimensions: Length overall / water x...

I think that the machinery model in SpringSharp is also biased towards cruiser/battleship type machinery, especially in the RN. Other fleets had less conservative machinery design, which meant their...

I do believe this will be changed in SS3. Diesels require far less crew to run than reciproking engines or turbines. turbines require less space than reciproking engines in general (as in SS2.1) but...

Quote: turbines require less space than reciproking engines in general (as in SS2.1) but also in comparison to Diesels To expand on what you are saying it actually gets pretty complicated depending on...

True. I heard that SS3 will give a possibility to adjust the main armour deck height. This would a great feature to play with! Beside this, direct drive turbines do require already more space in...

The USN -- according to Friedman's US Cruisers -- estimated that a diesel ship would have about 20% more range for a given weight of fuel. The diesel ship's tanks may have to be larger in volume; I...
