Vanguard-class bug

[unmerged(174613)]

The British are building HMS Vanguard in the 1944 scenario (and maybe the 1945 scenario, I haven't tried it yet) but they don't have the blueprints to build any more. I would suggest giving the British that particular blueprint in the post-1941 scenarios.

Also, HMS Erebus and two other ships (monitors, IIRC) are represented by a single Great War-era battleship. I'd suggest either having three units or simply remove them. What is the logic in representing three separate ships with a single unit?

Erebus, Terror, Marshal Soult and Roberts were what the RN called 'monitors'; basically what might be graded a light cruiser hull with a single battleship turret holding 2-3 battleship (15") guns. They were used for shore bombardment, and were significant in the defence of Tobruk and other operations in North Africa, D-Day and a few late operations in the Pacific. Unless we create a new ship type for these few vessels (only 3 were operational at any one time), I'm not sure how else they would be represented; Great War BB combines the advantages of being hopeless in the line of battle (they were never caught by enemy capital ships, but had they been it would have been terminal!) with having fair shore bombardment capacity.

If you don't like 'em, disband 'em.

I know they were monitors, and why do you say that a Great War-era battleship would have been hopeless in the line of battle?

The majority of Britain's dreadnoughts during the Second World War were Great War-era.

I just don't see the logic in representing these vessels the way they are. Either add monitors as a separate blueprint or don't bother with them. They were strategically unimportant anyway. Is HMS Pegasus represented? If not, then why not?
