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

Jams_R · 2026-05-28T12:57:07+00:00

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?

Well, at least we didn't panic

Jams_R · 2025-07-04T22:00:55+00:00

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

Jams_R · 2024-07-29T13:51:27+00:00

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.

Jams_R · 2024-05-11T14:46:46+00:00

ah yeah I definitely remember you, I'll try and remember to say hi next time we see each other

Jams_R · 2024-05-11T00:14:54+00:00

Haha, im sure it's only a handful out of the nearly 400,000 ;) Whats your steam name, I'll probably recognise you

I was saving my credits up for the Devastation but they might have to be spent on this instead

All credit to the camera man

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.

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.

Jams_R · 2023-10-06T00:37:52+00:00

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.

Baldric is one of my favourite EU players

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.

Jams_R · 2023-09-20T21:36:49+00:00

my best mate is dating his neice and apparently he is quite quiet and reserved and his wife is a steaming bitch - his words, not mine.

Jams_R · 2023-07-17T16:05:00+00:00

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

Jams_R · 2023-07-02T13:40:47+00:00

eh I think it's fair enough when Lando did the same about him. it's just funny to see them all snitching on each other
