The upgraded version of the Ger/CS/1905, the "Mod.A" works great

I was pleasantly surprised that the upgraded version of the Ger/CS/1905 scout cruiser, as rebuilt after 1914, works very well. I used the pencil drawing that showed the 3-6in/50 QF gun, 4-21in TT, and 2in side armor, as a guide. The one thing that I did was to reduce the maximum speed to 34 knots. That seemed like a reasonable compromise for a WWI-era ship. This is the Springsharp report:
