Ahh that is a very very elementary mistake on my part I remembered they switched them round but not which way.
Jutland was a failure to follow the most basic safety procedures and be recklessly unsafe. Lack of live fire training had inspired the admiral to have his fleet focus on speed over accuracy. To do this all the safety procedures like fire doors were removed and ammo was brought out of the magazines into the unprotected walkways leading to the turrets. Any impact or explosion activated the exposed munitions and that lead to a chain reaction all the way to the magazines and turrets.
Future battles where these doors were locked and munitions were handled correctly showed the British battlecruisers to be quite surviveable
Sadly people only hear about Jutland.

? No idea what your trying to say
Bug report regarding USS Tennessee’s draft! The ship is sitting too high above the waterline, exposing the ammunition above the waterline and diminishing the design of the armor belt.

EDIT: It was labelled as “not a bug”, since “units can be depicted in full load or not”…
Which begs me the question; why is almost EVERY ship depicted at full load… but Tennessee is not? Is it an intentional way to make her perform worse? Is this really needed?
Why not make a unified load standard for all ships? It would only be fair.
It is unfair for 90% of the ships to be depicted at full combat load and suddenly make a ship be depicted at maintenance run fuel load, which is unrealistic and needs it completely.

Clearly the Standards would be far too overpowered with their correct drafts!
…And reload times. And armor schemes. And working armor.
