To four 10000 ton heavy cruisers or ten 4500 ton light cruisers. This caused navies to compare the value of one 45000 ton battleship The maximum size was limited to 10000 tons, and a limit was placed on the total fleet tonnage. Realizing what was happening, and desiring to prevent a resurgence of the arms race, a new treaty was signed in 1930 that extended the tonnage limit to cruisers. Cruiser designs quickly advanced from the wartime 3500 ton ships to 8000 ton light and 12000 ton heavy cruiser designs.īritain and Japan were obliged to plan larger ships of their own to match the capabilities of the new American designs, so a cruiser arms race was underway. Ships with larger than 6 inch guns were called heavy cruisers, again, Ships having guns 6 inch or smaller were called light cruisers regardless of displacement. The new categories "light" and "heavy" cruisers appeared. Greater fuel capacities and larger power plants was the ability to carry heavier armor and larger guns. A consequence of the larger hull designs to accommodate The United States lead this effort because it wanted ships with the longĬruising range and high cruising speeds necessary to operate across the Pacific Ocean far from home waters. Immediately began planning larger cruisers to partially fill the role of battleships. However, there was no limit on smaller ships, including cruisers. It reduced fleet sizes and allowed new ships to be built only to replace older ships. The Washington Naval Arms Treaty of 1921 limited construction of battleships, battle cruisers and aircraft carriers, the expensive "capital" ships. Greatīritain was especially favorable to the idea since it had suffered greatly from the war and its economy was still weak. The governments realized the cost of a naval arms race and began discussing ways to avoid it. On paper huge and extremely expensive navies were designed. Those nations perceived a large American navy as a threat to their interests. American naval planners began drawing up plansįor a two ocean navy sufficient to match the combined strength of Britain and Japan. Their combined fleets were viewed as a threat to American interests throughout the world. Further, the English and Japanese were joined in an allianceįormed during the war. As far as tier 9s go, it's a pretty good one.After World War One Great Britain, Japan and the United States had the largest navies on Earth. I fully intend to skip Seattle, but I currently don't have the credits or a captain for the Worchester. I skipped Lyon, Alsace and a bout a third of the Buffalo grind, as well as some low-tier boats.Īnd I'm not sorry. I used free EXP to skip over a bunch of ships. I know the T10's are worth it, but I just can't face it.and I refuse to use FreeXP as I'm waiting to hear how the Alaska is going to be sold. With the exception of the Iowa and Udaloi, I haven't purchased the other ships purely because of facing the T9 grind in ships that are supposed to be rubbish. Worchester does need IFHE as much as the Cleveland, though.Ĭurrently, I have unlocked but not purchased, the DM Donskoi, Ibuki, Seattle, Iowa, Udaloi and almost done on the Buffalo. Those are some leathal (but rather squishy) deathmachines. Publicado originalmente por Torchfire:Also, note that both tier 9 USN cruisers (Seattle and Buffalo) are pretty much total crap.
