Chapter 1977 The old problem of the German ship girl

In fact, the biggest psychological anxiety after the return of Schonhorst this time is the problem of strength. The other problems are easy to solve, but the problem of strength is the most difficult to solve, because for the German ship girls, this is a knot that cannot be solved, which is the knot that has stuck many German ship girls' life gates. Although Schonhorst is an SSS-class historical warship, she is no exception in this regard.

The small caliber of the German ship girl is a big problem. In fact, it is not just that the small caliber of the main gun is not powerful, which is another reason. Due to historical problems, the German battleships in the First World War did not enter the era of hard hats. It is naturally a problem for the German battleships that use soft hat shells to enter this world. Although these German ship girls in this world can use hard hats, this innate defect still affects the combat effectiveness of the German ship girl. This is not a small problem, and this problem is very serious.

The problem of being hated will directly affect the penetration of the shells, which will greatly affect the combat effectiveness of the battleships. In fact, among the historical battleship-level main battleships in this world, the German main battleships are really not powerful, even the two Bavarian sisters. The strength of the two Bavarian sisters is that they command the slow main battleship fleet that is really involved in attack. These two sisters are really not good.

Both were the main ships during World War I, Bavaria's two sisters were far inferior to Nevada, which was not as good as the Royal Oak of Tall Fatty. This was a huge gap and one of the core reasons why Schonhorst did not change guns.

Schonhorst can be replaced with the main gun of the two Bavarian sisters, but after careful consideration, the hat was not replaced. The hat was a very important reason. Innate problems will affect the combat effectiveness of this world. Although the caliber of Schonhorst is relatively small, the triple main gun is still hard to the cap. If it is replaced with the main gun of the two Bavarian sisters, the problem will be exposed. According to Schonhorst's estimate, the combat effectiveness may not be greatly improved.

However, in history, the development of the main battleships of Germany, which had been defeated in World War I, has been stagnant for more than ten years. During this time, Germany only used the Versailles peace treaty to develop the Konisburg-class light cruiser and the German-class pocket battleship. It is said that it is a pocket battleship because this class of warships is quite special. In fact, this class of warships is more like a firepower enhanced version of the cruiser.

The German-class pocket battleship is two triple-mounted 280mm main guns, not steam power but diesel power. The displacement is more than 10,000 tons, and the speed is relatively slower than thirty knots. This is the largest battleship developed by the German Navy before Xiaomao came to power.

Schánhorst was the first main ship model developed by Xiaomao after he came to power. It was also a model that completely broke through the Versailles peace agreement. Because of political purposes and the gap in German technology, Schánhorst's problems were very big, not just the main gun, because the sea conditions in the North Atlantic were not very good, and Schánhorst's design was obviously problematic, which left the name of the submersible battleship for the Schánhorst class. It can be said that although Schánhorst in history broke through the Versailles peace agreement, it was a very failed model as a type of main ship.

Because the only countries that built the main ships in the Washington Naval Treaty era were Britain and France. Britain was the Nelson-class battleship allowed to be built by the treaty. France had surplus of tonnage. France built the Dunkirk-class during the Treaty era. This class of battleships was called battlecruisers in other countries, but France itself called it a battleship, which was similar to Schänhorst.

Dunkirk is a standard French main ship, with two four-unit main guns deployed on the fore deck. This arrangement is not only arranged in Dunkirk's subsequent Richelieu-class battleships, but Dunkirk's main gun caliber is 330mm. Italy did not build a new main ship during the Treaty era, but carried out earth-shaking transformation of the four main ships in its hands. The result of the transformation was that all four battleships became 28-kilogram fast main ships, not to mention the main gun was also expanded to 320mm. As a newly built battleship, Schánhorst, the main gun caliber was indeed the same as the German-class pocket battleship. It can be said that it was a huge mistake.

In fact, it is not just the case for the Schánhorst-class battleship, but also for the subsequent Bismarck-class battleships. According to the plan, the Bismarck-class battleships use a main gun that is not 380mm, and the main gun of the 380mm was installed with a beard with a slight beard. It can be said that Germany's old habits in building warships have never been changed. This problem was the problem of Germany's construction of warships in the first battle. After being defeated in the first battle, it was still the problem after being cut off for more than ten years. This problem has not changed at all.

In fact, Germany not only had this problem in World War II, but also in the Navy. The Army's tanks were also a model for wasting tonnage, but compared with the Army, the Navy's tonnage was quite shocking. The Bismarck-class battleship and the Venetto-class battleship were basically the same as North Carolina. However, although the main gun of Venetto was not a sixteen-inch like North Carolina, the fifteen-inch drug-taking gun was not as shameful as Italy. For Italy, the Venetto-class battleship is very good and excellent.

Although the Bismarck-class battleship was artificially interrupted for more than ten years because of the German shipbuilding, Bismarck's behavior of wasting tonnage is really incomprehensible, because although the tonnage is similar to that of Veneto, his actual combat effectiveness is really not comparable to Veneto. From defense to firepower, Bismarck is not as good as Veneto, and his speed is a little faster. This all-round inferiority is the problem of Germany's defeat in the first battle, but the main problem is Germany itself.

The Bismarck-class battleships in history are not as good as Venetto. Among the main battleships in the post-Trade era in Europe, they are only stronger than the British King George V-class battleships that were cheated by themselves, and they are not as good as the Richelieu-class battleships, and they are even more incomparable to the Yamato-class battleships of a certain island country, and they are not as good as the North Carolina-class, South Dakota-class, and Iowa-class in the United States. As the former model of the Bismarck-class battleship, the combat effectiveness of Schonhorst in history can be imagined.
