The British game cruiser is revised after the failed first engagement, beginning with a change from 4.5-inch to 4.7-inch guns. Rearranging the ship and adjusting protection release weight, while the choice between twin and triple mountings affects reload time and displacement. Propellant selection follows the closest available approximation to historical Royal Navy performance, even when other game options offer more attractive statistics. The final revision carries twelve 4.7-inch guns in six twin mounts, replacing fourteen 4.5-inch guns in four triples and one twin. The broader proposal is to build small cruisers as dedicated destroyer leaders with destroyer armament. The Tribal concept enlarges the destroyer, while this approach reduces the cruiser to meet a related fleet requirement.
