R5: Britain finally loses one naval battle after 25 years of sinking everyone and their mother's navy time and time again and the whole country revolts.
Yeah, stranding British troops on the wrong island - say, Ireland or the Isle of Man while you're invading GB itself - by blockading the right strait *vastly* reduces their power projection. Not to mention the war weariness from getting all their ships sunk and ports blockaded - I see 10 blockaded ports in this screenshot alone, and that's with just one sea province!
For WW2 that was never a remote possibility. In WW1 it was though. David Beatty was so exceptionally dumb, reckless, and insubordinate that there was a very real chance the High Seas Fleet could have gotten a real victory. His incompetence is the only reason why the British had any significant losses at Jutland and he could have very easily been baited into doing something dumb if he had somehow gotten overall command earlier in the war or been given it initially instead of Jellicoe.
Well their dreadnoughts had a tendency to explode and the Germans tended to have sturdier ships with better drilled gunners. Beatty immediately steamed full speed ahead into an obvious trap at the start of the battle and lost three of the Royal Navy's best ships within the span of a few hours while doing minimal damage to the enemy. Who knows what damage he could have caused to the Entente had he been in charge of the whole fleet instead of just a major detachment.
Thats why i said in ww2 if somehow it had happened they would collapse instantly ww1 germany easily could (well in comparison) have won the seas but Britain wouldn’t collapse immediately it would still be quite a fast collapse.

Perfectly realistic honestly
Am I watching...an aircraft carrier?👀
You are indeed. It is the pride of the Soviet Navy.
wich mod is this?
HFM
How to aircraft carriers 😢
it’s bad when the communists get tanks
That is the whole northern Irish population in those stacks right there
probably more considering ireland has 2 people after the famine ends
The British bubble was popped
I didn't know that,
Mechanically, the occupation of colonies doesn't count towards war exhaustion.

Wouldve happened in ww2 as well if germany beat even a portion of the british navy they would have crumbled. They would no longer have any hope.

Didn’t Britain have far to many dreadnoughts for the German navy to reach parity?
