The "Untakeable" design in Springsharp
I just tried the "Untakeable" design with 16-10in BLR and 16-4in QF guns in Springsharp. I was not satisfied with the result, as the displacement is too high for what it should be. I went with coal-fired boilers with turbines. I refuse to accept any design that is not stable, a good seaboat, and structurally sound. The only way to achieve the balance was to have a larger displacment and to adjust the slider in Springsharp to achieve adequate stability and reduced effects from firing the guns. This is the Springsharp report:
