A Penguin Plays RULE THE WAVES

Well this cruiser action got interesting quickly.

What are those things anyway?

Oh these poor souls.

>> DD PONTIERE-class> HELP ME!

>> CL NINIO BIXIO-class> GO AWAY!

>> CL ADOBO> HEEEREE'S JOHNNY!

>> CA ADOBO> Four inch guns have almost zero armor penetration right now.

>> CA ADOBO> Continuing chase.

>> CA LECHON> I don't think even their six-inch guns can tickle my five inches of belt armor.
>> CA LECHON> Is this what it feels to be powerful?

Don't get too close, torpedoes are basically the only thing that can hurt us right now.

2020-09-24_192025.png

peng-smallfaces04a.jpg
Hit!
What did that do?

2020-09-24_192033.png

peng-smallfaces05.jpg
Almost nothing!

2020-09-24_192103.png

peng-smallfaces04g.jpg
A lot of shooting, a lot of nothing happening.

2020-09-24_192210.png

peng-smallfaces-08a.jpg
Our guns and gunners are just shite right now.
They can't hurt us, but we're not hurting them either despite our best efforts.

>> CA ADOBO> I don't wanna admit it, but we've been herding them for two hours now.
>> CA ADOBO> I was doing a lot better against Armored Cruisers and in the rain last time.

2020-09-24_192219.png

Where are we anyway?

Crap.

2020-09-24_192248.png

2020-09-24_192255.png

>> CA ADOBO> Looks like it has some flotation damage.

2020-09-24_192315.png

A mere three inches of armor should not be giving us this trouble!

DID I SPEND ALL THAT MONEY FOR CONSTANT TRAINING FOR NOTHING?!!!

2020-09-24_192518.png

peng-smallfaces04e.jpg
... Really now?

>> CA LECHON> Wait come back!

2020-09-24_192555.png

The cringe. It is real.

>> CA LECHON> Come closer I want to hit you with my sword!

2020-09-24_192603.png

016.5 AFTER ACTION - Spain vs Italy - Cruiser Action off Sardinia
2020-09-24_192640.png

peng-smallfaces04a.jpg
Huh.
Embarrassing as that was, we didn't get off totally unscathed.

It was a beatdown from start to finish though.

2020-09-24_192648.png

peng-smallfaces02a.jpg
Hmm. So does 8-inch guns not count as heavy guns?
The bulk of the damage seems to have been done by secondaries.

2020-09-24_192706.png

peng-smallfaces-01.jpg
So here's the track.

At about 08:00 in the morning we made contact, chased that single DD up north west

Then from 9:00 AM all through lunch time chased and hammered the enemy CL squadron.
The seas were calm enough and the danger so minimal that our crew could actually change shifts and have a relatively peaceful meal, interrupted only by the shaking from the guns being fired.

By 15:00 or 3PM, the enemy was close to safety.

And by late afternoon we are done with this sorry business.

2020-09-24_192724.png

peng-smallfaces02.jpg
Yes I will accept that as fair.
 
017.1 WAR! - Spain vs Italy - October 1905

peng-smallfaces04g.jpg
We need 11 ships on coastal patrol.

2020-09-24_192938.png

peng-smallfaces02.jpg
Let's halt one of the BBs and build some Armed Merchants in a hurry.

2020-09-24_192953.png

peng-smallfaces02a.jpg
We can meet the patrol requirement if we make use all of our light ships, but we have those oversized Mine Sweepers on Foreign Service duty.

2020-09-24_192957.png

peng-smallfaces02a.jpg
I don't know what this does, but roll it.




2020-09-24_192959.png

All right.
This would be useful.

Ok. Relax.
Relaaax.

peng-smallfaces-08d.jpg
We may have lost Adobo, but we still have Adobe and Adontbe and Lechon and Furiosa.
We have the tonnage for this.

2020-09-24_193019.png

peng-smallfaces07b.jpg
LECHON YOU WORTHLESS BOTE WHY ARE YOU HERE?

>> CA LECHON> WHY ARE YOU MAD AT ME!

2020-09-24_193035.png

>> CA LECHON> I have five inches belt and seven inch guns.
>> CA LECHON> I'm almost as strong as Adobo the first time around!

>> CA LECHON> I'll show you!

peng-smallfaces04b.jpg
No. Turn around.

2020-09-24_193138.png

peng-smallfaces04b.jpg
Given how shite our gunnery is right now, I don't have the time to waste realtime thirty minutes to an hour moving you back and forth in the hope you manage to sink a destroyer or something.

You can't stop them from going into port anyway.

2020-09-24_183652.png

peng-smallfaces04g.jpg
You, alone, have eight guns.

2020-09-24_183629.png

peng-smallfaces04g.jpg
Same as a Furiosa.

2020-09-24_183619.png

peng-smallfaces02a.jpg
And Adobo has twenty.


2020-09-24_193143.png

We're better off just waiting until we have enough throw weight to get things done quickly.

We are being blockaded?
Where? How?!

Lechon go back to Northern Europe.

So our shells are still being loaded by hand?

duck-smallfaces-01.jpg
Well the biggest active gun we have is eight inches. That's 203mm.

t7x1113jqd051.png

duck-smallfaces-01b.jpg
That's not really all that big.

peng-smallfaces04a.jpg
Wow. This really brings into focus why we need heavier guns and soon.


2020-09-24_193252.png

2020-09-24_193254.png

peng-smallfaces02a.jpg
We should build some more raiders.

2020-09-24_193257.png

peng-smallfaces04a.jpg
Ech. Where could they have fought this?
It should be trivial for the USN to lock the Italian Navy in the Med.

It has nine inch guns.

Okay, what is this unlucky ship?
Take it down!

2020-09-24_193810.png

peng-smallfaces03.jpg
It's actually that Light Cruiser from before!



2020-09-24_193825.png

Chase. Chase. Cha-

2020-09-24_193841.png

No?

2020-09-24_194007.png

Huh.
Those nine inchers did some damage.

We did more ship damage but still lost out on points.

2020-09-24_194018.png

peng-smallfaces04b.jpg
I honestly can't even begin to make sense of this track.

I think that loop over there is when night-time hit.

peng-smallfaces04g.jpg
So the CL we face was not exactly the same CL from the before, but another one of the same class.
What was it going back and forth though?

2020-09-24_194028.png

peng-smallfaces-09bc.jpg
We just gave the enemy free victory points.

Lechon has an Elite crew.
How.

>> CA ADOBO> I'm not mad, I'm happy for her, but indeed that is... a mystery.

>> CA LECHON> My crew actually appreciate me!
>> CA LECHON> I'm the only capital ship in Northern Europe, but do you see any raids around here?

>> CA Adontbe> I'm 12,000 tons here too, you know.


peng-smallfaces-08a.jpg
Blockade needs to overweigh defending forces, so did they actually send the B ROMA up there?
I remember it's 15,000 tons.

12,000 + 7,400 tons would do it.

>> CA LECHON> So I did good, right? RIGHT?!

peng-smallfaces02.jpg
You did.

There is no B, so did they really send the Roma into the Bay of Biscay?
Is it still there?

Normally I would say 'Intel a shite', but you guys have been surprisingly on the ball this run when it comes to grabbing tech.

You have NO heavy hits?!

Is it those magic six-inch guns again?
How does it get past eight inches of belt armor!

Calm down.
It's fine. It's fiiiine.

We ought to have caused some damage and put it in the yards.

2020-09-24_194811.png

peng-smallfaces04.jpg
We lose out on points anyway?!

peng-smallfaces06c.jpg
Oh come on, those nine-inchers had better hit something, it can't be just six-inchers doing all that damage against an eight-inch belt.

2020-09-24_194826.png

peng-smallfaces04b.jpg
That is a fairly straightforward track.

The enemy spent all its time just running away.
A running battle from noon to early evening.

2020-09-24_194833.png

peng-smallfaces02a.jpg
Is it even possible to sink anything this early in the timeline?

duck-smallfaces-01b.jpg
You guys did already sink a Destroyer though.

peng-smallfaces04g.jpg
So something needs to be completely without armor.

LECHON, go on Coastal Patrol so that at least we don't give the enemy free VP.

Nah, we can't move LECHON off Coastal Patrol duty and into Raiding.
The AMC are still working up.

It's Furiosa.

peng-smallfaces-12d.jpg
That's fine. Four inches of Belt armor would be enough, considering how eight inches aren't doing shite to stop six inches but apparently two and a half inches are enough to stop eight inch shells.


2020-09-24_195058.png

A DD. Crap.

2020-09-24_183629.png

How fast is Furiosa?
23 knots?

5 knots difference to a DD.
But well if it just runs away then it has failed to do anything to stop our raiding.

That's not good either.

>> CA FURIOSA> Enemy insisted on heading South-South West.

>> CA FURIOSA> Enemy now attempting to break off.

What is that anyway?

Ohohoho only 22 knots?
If you can't be tough, you should be light and fast.

Furiosa could do all of this in the previous run at 2900 tons and 23 knots.

>> CA FURIOSA> It's the Deck armor.
>> CA FURIOSA> I didn't have any.

>> CA FURIOSA> It's still not enough to get away from me.

Why do we have Lechon at 7400 when your class at 6300 tons is enough for Raiding and Counter-Raiding?


>> CA LECHON> Heeey I'm in Northern Europe like I couldn't hear you talking shite about me.

It's starting to put some distance on you.

>> CA FURIOSA> It literally isn't capable of doing that.


2020-09-24_195232.png

>> CA FURIOSA> It's slowed down to 15 knots.

I don't see any obvious engine damage, but that has to be what's happening.

>> CA FURIOSA> At less than 5000 yards, almost all hits have to be belt hits.


2020-09-24_195307.png

>> CA FURIOSA> I need to slow down as well or I will drastically overshoot the enemy.


2020-09-24_195333.png

How are you doing?

>> CA FURIOSA> Minimal unarmored superstructure damage.
>> CA FURIOSA> Four inch guns, unlike six-inch guns, are not magic.


2020-09-24_195341.png

>> CA FURIOSA> Enemy has stopped moving.

>> CA FURIOSA> SHINY AND CHROME!
