[Admiral Von Gerlach]

Sorry to disagree with you Sailor Steve but your criticism of the mod as it is developing is unwarrented and We like to be supportive here for this amazing effort. He is achieving miracles with this development and I applaud his dedication and ingenuity. If you wish to make your own mod you can certainly focus on that detail you mention but frankly history does not always allow us to re create it in total with any sim esp an older one like this. this is truly an amazing achiievement here, and worthy of support and praise and not criticism.

As for Capt. de la Periere, he was loved and somewhat hated by his own crews as he crammed in shells wherever there was any conceivable space, including the usual storage for food, which was packed UNDER or behind the shells requiring the crew to be on meager rations until those shells were epxended. He managed to take aboard far more ordinance than anyone else, and indeed it was frowned upon by the Command ashore and he actually had to use subterfuge for they started inspecting his boat before departure as they knew what he was up to.

He was truly a marvel and not only a great gunnery officer but a fantastic seaman and true sailor man as well. I am glad to see you have reserached with the depth of your experience Iam....and am so impressed with all you are achieving.

I am wondering if someday we may see Zepplins over the lfeet ...sigh i loved those big ships of the sky but they were not a major factor of the war ....tho they were used often with the High Seas Fleet when it was at sea.

thanks so much for this amazing effort, truly one of the uniquely successful major mods I have ever seen. Well done!
