I expect it will be more difficult in DG 1.5 as I believe the AI is improved.
Probably after some time I will restart molesting You regarding the overestimation of Japanese armoured cruisers. You know, they were really overestimated :D :laugh: :laugh:

It is also my small "what if" speculation about the possibility of RJW being won by Russia :nuts...

Last weekend I played Tsushima canned scenario once again and it turned quite interestingly.
I tried to play with all Russian BBs + Admiral Nakhimov in single line, all cruisers (except Nakhimow) in second line and destroyers in the...
Some time ago I sent all the Japanese to Davy Jones :D

To break out from Port Artur in the canned scenario is easy as far You are careful enough not to exchange shots with Japanese.
