Re: Germano-British Empire
Still not going to work, you might want to have the engines in a separate pod and the main gondola should be a third of the length currently

There's no such thing as "nothing left to draw" If you can down 10 pints and draw, you're doing alright by my standards

Re: Germano-British Empire
Steering is also going to be a big issue. Or rather lack of it.
“Close” only counts with horseshoes, hand grenades, and tactical nuclear weapons.

Barnest and APDAF.Just a few suggestions.Maybe if you are going for an Empire/political union instead of an alliance, consider standardising your guns,directors etc.I would use German guns which used the built up method of constuction rather than the British wire bound.Less wear and droop on sustained firing,better shells etc.Read Castles of Steel by Robert K Massie.Essential reading for this era of naval warfare 
Re: Germano-British Empire
We are later going to use h44 guns.

With this early period, I'm really experimenting by hacking together ships and seeing how they come out.

Re: Germano-British Empire
even then, those are huge. no ships with guns that size have ever been build. I myself am working on an battlecruiser concept that used them, but that one didn't even come close to being build.

The Yamato class used 18.1 inch guns that they planed one with 20 inch guns.
