Chapter 1977: The old problem of the German ship mother

In fact, the biggest psychological anxiety after Scharnhorst’s return this time is the problem of strength. All other problems can be solved easily, but the problem of strength is the most difficult to solve, because for the German ship mother, this is an insoluble knot. It is the dead knot that has stuck a lot of the German ship's life gate. Although Scharnhorst is an SSS-class historical battleship, she is no exception in this regard.
The small caliber of the German ship mother’s main gun is a big problem. In fact, it is not only the small caliber, but also the powerful gun. It is another reason. Because of historical problems, the German battleships of World War I did not enter the era of hard caps. The German battleships with soft quilted shells are naturally problematic when they arrive in this world. Although these German naves can use hard quilts in this world, this inherent defect still affects the combat effectiveness of the German naves. This is nothing. Small problem, this problem is very serious.
The problem of being capped will directly affect the penetration of the shells, which will greatly affect the combat effectiveness of battleships. In fact, among the historical battleship-class battleships in this world, the German battleships are really not that powerful, even the Bavarian sisters. Similarly, the two sisters of Bavaria are powerful in commanding the slow capital fleet of iron-blooded forces, and they really can't do it when it comes to attack.
It was also a battleship during the First World War. The two Bavarian sisters are far behind Nevada. They can’t compare with the tall and fat Royal Oak. This is a huge gap and is one of the core reasons why Scharnhorst did not change guns. One.
Scharnhorst can be replaced with the main guns of the two Bavarian sisters, but Scharnhorst did not replace it after careful consideration. The quilt is a very important reason. Innate problems will affect the combat effectiveness of this world. Although the caliber of Scharnhorst’s main gun is relatively small, the triple-mounted main gun is still a hard-capped shell. This problem will be exposed if it is replaced with the main gun of the two Bavarian sisters. According to Scharnhorst’s estimated combat effectiveness It may not be much improved.
However, in history, the development of German battleships that were defeated in World War I was stagnated for more than ten years. During this time, Germany only used the Versailles peace treaty to develop the Königsberg-class light cruisers and the German-class pocket battleships. It is said that they are pocket battleships because of this. The first-class battleship is more special. In fact, it is a pocket-sized battleship. In fact, the first-class battleship is more like a cruiser with enhanced firepower.
The Deutsche-class pocket battleship has two triple-mounted 280mm main guns, not steam powered but diesel powered. The displacement is more than 10,000 tons and the speed is relatively slow and less than 30 knots. This is the largest battleship developed by the German Navy before the moustache came to power. Up.
Scharnhorst was the first battleship model developed after Mustache came to power, and it was also a model that completely broke through the Versailles peace treaty. Because of its political motives, coupled with German technology’s cut-off, Scharnhorst’s problem was very big. It’s not just the main gun problem, because the North Atlantic sea conditions are not very good and Scharnhorst’s design is obviously problematic, which gave the Scharnhorst-class battlecruiser the name of the diving battleship, which can be said to be history. Although Scharnhorst on board was a breakthrough in the Versailles Treaty, it was a failed model as a battleship.
Because in the Washington Naval Treaty era, the only countries that built battleships were Britain and France. Britain was the Nelson-class battleship allowed by the treaty. France had surplus tonnage. France built the Dunkirk class during the treaty era. Class battleships are called battlecruisers in other countries, but France itself calls it battleships, which is similar to Scharnhorst.
Dunkirk is a standard French battleship, with two quadruple main guns deployed on the foredeck. This arrangement is not only the arrangement of Dunkirk’s subsequent Richelieu-class battleships, but Dunkerk Erke’s main gun has a caliber of 330mm. Italy did not build a new battleship during the treaty era, but it has drastically modified its four battleships. The result of the transformation is that all four battleships are 28 knots. Not to mention that the main gun of the fast battleship has been expanded to 320mm. Scharnhorst, as a newly built battleship, has the same caliber of 280mm as the German-class battleship. It can be said that it is a huge mistake.
In fact, this is not only the case for Scharnhorst-class battleships, but also for the subsequent Bismarck-class battleships. According to the plan, the Bismarck-class battleships use a main gun other than 380mm, and the 380mm main gun is installed by Moustache. It can be said that Germany’s old problems in the construction of warships have not changed. This is the problem of German warship construction in World War I. After the defeat of World War I, it was still the problem after being artificially broken for more than ten years. This problem has not changed at all.
In fact, in World War II Germany is not only the navy and the army, but also the army’s tanks are also a model of wasted tonnage, but compared with the army, the navy’s waste of tonnage is quite shocking. Bismarck-class battleships and Veneto-class battleships are basically the same in tonnage. A little bigger than North Carolina, but Veneto said that although the main gun is not a 16-inch gun like North Carolina, the 15-inch drug gun is not ashamed. For Italy, the Veneto-class battleship is very good and excellent. ~EbookFREE.me~ Although the Bismarck-class battleship is a bit out of touch because the German shipbuilding has been artificially interrupted for more than ten years, it is really incomprehensible for Bismarck to waste tonnage like this, because although the tonnage and Veneto are Almost but the actual combat power of Bismarck and Veneto is really incomparable. From defense to firepower, Bismarck is not as good as Veneto. The speed is half a catty and Veneto is faster. This kind of all-round is not as good as the defeat of Germany in World War I. But the main problem is Germany itself.
Bismarck-class battleships in history are not as effective as Veneto. Among the battleships in the post-treaty era in Europe, they are only stronger than the British King George V-class battleships that have been pitted by themselves. In addition to the Richelieu-class battleship Veneto-class battleships It’s incomparable. It’s even more incomparable with the Yamato-class battleships of a certain island nation. It’s also completely incomparable with the North Carolina-class, South Dakota-class, and Iowa-class of the United States. As the previous model of the Bismarck-class battleship, Scharnhorst’s historical The combat effectiveness can be imagined.
The speed of Scharnhorst in history is fast enough, but this kind of speed is also relative. Facing the British Scharnhorst is really fast, but the speed of Scharnhorst in the world at the time is really not considered Very fast, but Scharnhorst appeared earlier in history is a very important reason.
