I see the argument and agree sort of. In terms of gameplay (not historical accuracy), LoR could easily drop the Protected cruiser and rebalance the destroyer escort and ironclad battleship around that change. It would work, and would most likely make things cleaner.
But here is the issue, first I took alot of heat for removing the pre-dreadnought, so I know alot of users like the steamship naval period. Second it is historically accurate, that period of time saw a rapid change in naval design, and ships were going obsolete litterally as they left dock as new inovations in naval warfare were being made. The game kind of works well here with this going on, and it seems right to me to have patchwork navies in the late industrial period.
So I don't know. You decide. Should LoR drop the protected cruiser and clean up the current steamship naval period a bit, or is it good as it stands now?
