The build adds the small 1.9-inch three-pounder Hotchkiss weapons that historically supplemented the heavier battery, including their rapid rate of fire. It then checks the proposal's approximately 9,000-kilometre endurance at 10 knots against the cruising-speed and fuel settings available in the game. The design still has unacceptable pitch, so armour and component placement become tools for correcting the virtual hull balance. Historical figures such as roughly 13.4 inches on the turrets, 12.6 inches on the conning tower, and 5.9 inches over the casemates show how protection consumes the same displacement needed for range and stability.

Balancing the Ersatz Monarch's range, protection, and stability
The later build stage adds the anti-torpedo-boat battery, historical endurance, and armour figures while trying to bring the virtual dreadnought's pitch under control.
