Well standing by my earlier posts I'll make two shipssharp designs. First is the Deutschland they'll build and the second is the deutschland they would make after inserting a 40 m's midsection and allow it to run 1 m deeper.
Note that the 3b3 engine slider doesnt Work and the engines weigh 2x what they would IOTL. Thus actual speed would be 26 knots and 30,5 knots. The post mod design would be rather heavy. Ive taken the Liberty of 55 cal guns as on the twins and lots of Shells.
Post-mod She could outrun British BC's and beat them in a long range fight. Shrug off 8'' easily.
Note, ferasibility has been questioned. Not a small thing. Maybe if would Work if they did similar Work on their existing light cruisers first....? Still, if the mod is beeing prepared its a huge provocation against th french (intentional) and British.
