[Admiral Von Gerlach]

I can happily point to this thread as complete proof of the care taken with this game and the research and accuracy of the sim.

Another factor btw was the superior German optics and range finding technology which actually gave them a bit of an edge on ROF, but as Bullethead points out, the hoists were the main factor for speed for RN ships, those shells were HUGE and many injuries and even deaths on the turrent and ammo handling crews resulted from their size .... many dangers at sea back then.... but the men put to with a will and did their duty on both sides. Amazing to look back and see how they coped with the limitations of the technology, when things were scaled up they did the best they could.
