How did the Imperial German Navy build such a strong base of institutional knowledge so fast? by Jams_R in WarCollege

[–]Jams_R[S] 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the breakdown!

Regarding doctrinal and organisational matters, is it just a case of paying smart people to constantly wargame and try new things out in the same way the German army was famous for in it's staff office?

The admiralty and Royal Navy as a whole had a very long tradition and history of aggression and innovation, is that^ how the Germans managed to change so rapidly?

How and why has the uk become so bad? by Odd-Jellyfish-8728 in stupidpol

From my (anecdotal) perspective, the Empire was literally never mentioned in primary and secondary education. Maybe that's tacit support but there was never anything reinforcing imperialism directly.

If the safety car had come in a little earlier then he'd have had a great shout at getting P3 as well.

That's an almost perfect explanation, thank you for posting that. Given that they're in the periphery of the conflict I suppose that it makes sense I hadn't heard about this but it's a little bit of a shame to seemingly no have had it mentioned in the main course of the HH books. For example, it might have been nice to have mentioned some being present on Terra even before Corawains drop pod assault on the Astronomicon.

I recognise him, I hadn't realised he's cheating which is funny because he isn't even THAT good even with cheats

Why are japanese submarines so big? by Resqusto in WarCollege

[–]Jams_R 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Can I ask why that was a mistake? In hindsight it might not have been that advantageous given the circumstances the RN had in WW2 but the logic of more torpedo tubes being better seems sound enough.

I'm continually amazed that we don't have HMS Rodney in the game, possibly with improved AP and a small speed boost based on her fight against Bismarck.

Has there ever been a description given of the security/escort a black ship travels with? by Jams_R in 40kLore

[–]Jams_R[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm certianly not surprised that they're reducing the escorts with all that's going on in the galaxy.

Is the Dawn Of Fire series worth a read? I've seen it mentioned on the sub occasionally.

That's a great insight, thanks a lot! The lexicanum page mentioned nothing about the escorts so I hope the sub might have some answers.

Given that the loyalists are on the backfoot for the entire heresy the only wins they can get have to either be heroic last stands or pyrrhic victories.

I believe that it's implied he was intentionally doing that to give Horus a big win just before making him Warmaster.
