    I wish people had a perverse love of main battleships like they do the other ancient shit technology like the A10.

    Keep on spending huge amounts of cash because big guns cool!

      You ever seen Drachinifel’s channel on YouTube? He’s into the gun-era stuff, which overlapped a lot with the British Empire’s era.

      Ever played the Rule the Waves video game series?

        Great creator. You’ll learn fucking everything about a ship from the logistics to the operational issues.

        Wish it scratched my brain but it puts me to sleep 😞

      Damn, people really don’t? I’ve always been a sucker for ever increasingly ridiculously large GUN.

      Got a problem? Just yeet a fucking dog sized hunk of metal at it at as close to the speed of sound as we can get it. You don’t have a problem anymore.

        I prefer ‘a fully loaded volkswagen mass of shrapnel and high explosives’ but yeah, the principle stands.
