Building a Type 1936A opponent for the simulation

The opposing game ship takes the German Type 1936A destroyer as its starting point, with a stated historical standard displacement of about 2,700 tons and a speed of 36 knots. Its main battery uses five 5.9-inch guns in one twin and three single mounts, alongside 21-inch torpedoes. The game cannot reproduce every historical gun position, so the layout requires compromises. The model also receives armour to help balance it, despite the explicit acknowledgment that the historical destroyers did not have that protection. A final check compares the modeled gun dimensions with the intended German weapons before the battle begins. The opponent is an approximation whose added equipment and altered arrangement need to be kept in view when interpreting its performance.
