![]() ![]() Simply put, you do not have a firm grasp of how battleships deliver damage and why the Main Battery Reload Booster is literally game changing. You overestimate the importance and frequency of some scenarios (kiting, overmatching) at the expense of the mundane (basic gunnery, RNG's impact on single salvos, target selection). Your frustration stems from your lack of understanding of the impact of game mechanics. ![]() You were throwing your weight around and being belligerent.

This was approximately 50% more ammunition than the original specifications of the battlecruisers required. ![]() In practice, this meant that each eight-gun battlecruiser at Jutland carried a total of 960 shells and 290,000 pounds of cordite propellant. When the guns were combat ready and had available rounds in all spaces in the turret and ready room, each gun carried about 46 additional rounds and cordite charges in the critical spaces between the magazines and the gun turrets. This request was subsequently approved, creating a dangerous safety situation. In 1913, British Commander-in-Chief, Home Fleets, Admiral Sir George Callaghan requested that the basic ammunition load on British battlecruisers be increased from 80 to 120 rounds per gun. While the Royal Navy had strict procedures in place regarding the number of bags of cordite and shells that could be removed from magazines and made ready for firing, ships’ crews routinely ignored these safety precautions. The British became obsessed with rapid firing as a technique for keeping enemy ships off balance. The Germans concentrated on armor protection and accurate naval gunnery. Prior to that date, senior commanders in both the German and British navies were considering the distinct possibility of a major naval clash. ![]()
