Comparing the proposal with the Kent-class County cruisers

The proposed ship is kept close to the Kent class's roughly 14,150-ton full-load displacement while gaining a small speed increase and much heavier protection. The simulation's range figures are treated cautiously, but they still help test whether the design gained its advantages through an obvious endurance sacrifice. The game's full-speed endurance is compared with the Kent subclass's published range at ten knots, so the figures cannot be read as directly equivalent. Displacement basis matters here because standard and operational loads answer different questions.
