    Diary of Karl Zietsler
    March 27th 1890
    My boyhood days are officially behind me as of now. Though my father had to force me to go, I have completed my basic training for the Kaiser's navy. These last months have taught me valuable lessons in resourcefulness and honor. My mother laments the fact it will be some time before I can visit in my uniform and celebrate this occasion. And mother is not the only woman known to me that appreciates a man in uniform. I have been assigned to a ship as well. The KMS Delphe, a Corvette. While her size and guns may not be the most imposing, we have been assured our role in protecting the fatherland is vital. Hopefully, when construction is finished we will be assigned a station in a far-flung land of mystery and adventure. Though I will not hold my breath.

      @@LMDAA2LP Captain is the name most often given in English-speaking navies to the rank corresponding to command of the largest ships. The rank is equal to the army rank of colonel and air force rank of group captain
      Equivalent ranks worldwide include ship-of-the-line captain (e.g. France, Argentina, Spain), captain of sea and war (e.g. Brazil, Portugal), captain at sea (e.g. Germany, Netherlands) and "captain of the first rank" (Russia).

    (AN: Might be retconned by future episodes, events, battles, and the like . . . but-)
    September 1890
    ????
    My earliest memories were surrounded by the lake- My older brother, me and my father- a canoe out on the lake during the crack of dawn . . . It was a truly majestic sight, and I would always remember it - we brought Tackles and bait- a small fishing trip, it was supposed to be.
    For most of the trip- it was. We caught a few fish- I even caught a rather big one myself, nearly having fallen out of the boat in an attempt to hold onto the line. I would always remember how the encouraging words quickly turned to panic- We had a good laugh on the way back at the silliness of it all.
    I remembered the slightly warmer air as we pulled into the dock- I remembered my fathers promise to prepare a nice hot water bath for us - That our mother would make a wonderful dinner from the fish we had caught.
    We pulled the canoe to the boat house - our muscles ached heavily, but we still bore grins on our face . . .
    Then we got home. Was it any surprise, then, that I would remember the crying face of my mother- the furrowed brows of my father, the conflicted look in my brothers eyes, and the confused face of my younger sister, to young to understand why everyone was so distressed?
    I remembered staying up late, stupidly being disappointed at the lack of a warm bath and a hot dinner, hearing my father angrily pacing across the living room downstairs ranting about how “That (something I couldn’t remember) was not a Peace. It was an Armistice for twenty years.”
    I didn’t know that I _used_ to have an uncle - He didn’t talk about him much.
    I didn’t know then that my father and my uncle had a falling out. Uncle enlisted in the Army when the war came- He had called father a “coward” for enlisting in the navy.
    They never got the chance to apologize to each other.
    It seemed obvious something was going to happen in hindsight - the rise of a French Revanchism over Alsace Lorraine - the, at the time, rather exaggerated fears over the recent laying down of a new trio of German “Panzerschiffes” - Yet even after a moderate expansion of armoured corvettes things did not really seem to get worse.
    Some Events in the Balkan didn’t help much, and the selling of weapons in order to help _pay_ for the cruisers only served to stew the pot a bit.
    Yet the tipping point appeared when the announcement of a new design of fast, protected gun cruisers came to light? Their seemed to be only one purpose in the eyes of the French . . .
    To either break a possible blockade - or . . . bypass it entirely to raid the very critical supply lines that kept vital resources flowing into France.
    Revanchism and fear mongering over the cruisers filled the halls of discussion - anyone who _remembered_ or who were veterans speaking up about the disaster of the 1870’s? Were shunned for cowardice or accused of being traitors.
    So It was that day, I remembered, as being the days of uncertainty- would there be a war? Would my brother get called to fight? Would my father be drafted back into the navy?
    Being young, I was not the most observant - yet even I could tell the underlying tension that now existed between my father and brother.
    All I could feel back then, curling up in bed, was a selfish unhappiness, wondering why we didn’t have fish that night.
    Uncertainty about what would happen next never quite crossed my mind as I fell asleep that night.

    14:03 if you right click on the specific mount (port side if you have the asymmetric secondary mounts de-selected) you can change the position and rest angle of all the guns, this goes for the main guns, tertiary guns, missiles, torpedoes and floatplane catapults. It means you can make the pre dread's look super scary with all the guns pointing out lol

    Off to a great start, I see. I know you don't often mess around with the ammo types, but it makes a big difference in early game. Throw a bunch of HE at the ships you cannot penetrate, and you'll light fires instead. It worked very well for the Japanese at Tsushima. Once armor penetration gets better you can shift back to the original loadouts and priorities, but until then load HE.

    I am really looking forward to playing this when it comes out but until then (and probably even after) I will be watching this series with baited breath. Just from what I can see it looks like the devs added a lot of the missing ingredients from RTW2 and I really want to see how the division mechanic and officer mechanic work.
