    Looks correct. Those fast ships are going to be tough to control at speed, and in 1/96, they'll have a good bit of momentum, too.

    Hey Mark,
    Thank you!! Artemis, May or May not have her cannon this year, so i may run her as an unarmed convoy, so Both Sides can shot at her!

    What would the speed be on the German destroyer V-106? I don't know how to figure out big gun speeds.

    Battlestations speed is set up as 33 knots = 33 seconds. Since the V-106 had a top speed of 27 knots which is six knots slower than 33, so speed in Battlestations is six seconds slower than 33 or 39 seconds.

    Even with the gun, the Artemis is still a convoy ship. So speed would be 20 knots, or 46 seconds. I made a mistake on my previous post.
    Speeds are calculated using 33 knots = 33 seconds and you add or subtract for each knot above or below that speed. So if the V-106 went 34 knots, then it gets 32 seconds to travel 100 feet.

    It depends how you look at it, Nikki. I seriously doubt that I will be able to catch you with my blazing fast 44 second pre-dreadnaught.

    Convoy minimum speed is 20kt, so even if it was real life less than that, it gets bumped up to 20kt for our purposes in Battlestations!
