    I'm pretty sure you won that 2 v. Everyone simply by missing so much you literally leveled up your crew's training DURING the battle. Like at some point 2/3 through a sailor was like "OY there Dimitri, put down that bottle and look at this. See this lever, it MOVE the gun!" And then the word spread to the other batteries, was flagged to the other ship, and Anatoli got an extra vodka ration that night.

    The most comprehensive/in-depth time-travel setting I have encountered is the “Roads to Moscow” trilogy by David Wingrove; highly recommend. It is of the simultaneous branching timeline type, very well written, and does a fantastic job exploring the consequences of altering history, including how having multiple asynchronous iterations of oneself in a specific location can be used to dodge death and the predestination fallacy.

    Unless they've fixed it in a recent patch, battleships aren't ineffective against subs. They're just super expensive as sub hunters, because you can't fit depth charges to them. But I _have_ sunk subs that thought they could gank my lone battleship on its way to reinforce a fleet.

    Idunno Tex, there's more than a little part of me that is absolutely tickled pink by the idea of Iron Age ironclads. Just... slab-sided Carthaginian triremes, coated in finest Krupp steel and blowing Greek Fire secondaries (with, idunno, onager primaries, and maybe a corvus system for boarding)

    I'm not glossing over the High Energy Turn that Tex had his lead ship perform at about 23 minutes in (just before he bonked his head). Internet points for those who know what a High Energy Turn is and where it comes from.

    Well, I'd assume _Star Fleet Battles,_ since that's the only place I've seen the term. And the actual maneuver is to burn lots of engine power in directions other than 'forward' to spin the ship more rapidly than is otherwise possible. It stresses the hull, though, which limits how often it can be done without damaging the ship doing the maneuver. Unless it's an overbuilt hulk, like most Federation designs.

    2 battleships vs and entire fleet, normally that would be a losing battle on paper, but they forgot TEX IS ON THE WHEEL and made the EXPERTO 2.0 and clobbered the enemy with MEMES XD

    @boobah56437 сағат бұрын

    Nah, at that point in the game any old BB that can make more than twenty knots and has decent armor can do the job. It needs to resist the little ship's guns and have enough speed that the secondaries can murder anything that tries to close to torpedo you. It works less well once your enemies have torpedoes with some sort of stand off range. Until then they pretty much need your help to get within range.

    "Don't you remember what you were doing?" Oof! There are so many games where I just restart and play the early game again instead of reloading a save. An action game? sure. But strategy? I am not going to remember up from down.

    I love the fact that invading Maine is just tradition for Tex at this point. If he does a US run, he needs to intentionally try and get the AI to invade it, just so he can counterinvade.

    Well, they did in real life, and those reasons were just as valid pre and post. The thing is, the game doesn't properly simulate the downsides, so your broadside is just as effective whether those secondaries are mounted in casemates or baby turrets.

    So just recently I found myself accidentally sailing out with 1890s designs, with no refit, to fight the 1905 British navy. It only balanced out because my BBs got slowed down way too early to even get into the fight, and because torpedoes don't care what you're made of.

    I agree with that 26:00 ish talk about selling oneself and that being something we shouldn't encourage. I'm a hard-core free market guy, but not because money is an end in itself. It manifestly is NOT. I support the free market because a healthy free market encourages human flourishing and opportunity for growth. Becoming a better (and dare I say holier) person rightly ordered towards becoming the best version of yourself is a worthy goal. Pursuing business success ethically in pursuit of that so as to enrich yourself and others is likewise laudable. Seeking money for its own sake, though, is destructive as any hard drug and equally fatal in the end, if not to the body than at least to the soul. God grants commerce to humanity, not humanity to commerce.

    In all the games I have played so far, the US always ends up with a huge fleet, but it's always filled with old outclassed ships. So they look horrifying on paper, but my smaller, more modern fleets usually knock them aside pretty quickly. Of course he US's typically huge budget absorbs the costs better than my typically smaller one.
