Why was the Krigesmarine so pussyfied ?

What is the point in having a navy if you're not going to use it ?
The German "Navy" (Not Kriegsmarine, it was the High Seas Fleet) was worthless and a inevitably failed gamble to compete with England's Royal Navy. Jutland was the RN's greatest victory since Trafalgar. We sank a battleship and a flagship battle cruiser and numerous other ships at relatively minor cost to ourselves.

Cope. RN lost 6 cruisers for 5 KM cruisers. RN lost 8 destroyers for 1 RN 19th century obsolete destroyer-equivalent.
If the German losses were so minor then why did the High Seas Fleet retreat with their tails between their legs and nothing was ever heard of them again until when their whole navy committed suicide in 1919?
The strategic British victory was demonstrating the RN was still larger and more powerful, bottling up the KM
The tactical German victory was sinking almost twice their lost tonnage
Angloid cope thread.

>asking why the Kriegsmarine didn't even try to defeat the RN
>anglo cope
interesting, bait like comment
I prefer to draw attention to the fact that a Frankish band of conquerers subjugated the native Anglos and became a permanent Norman ruling class, not unlike the Manchus and the Han in China. Except these Normans were never thrown off.
Because the Manchus were barbarians who assimilated to Chinese culture. While the Normans were superior to native Anglos in every way.
>While the Normans were superior to native Anglos in every way.
And? So what?
native anglos were raped, shaved and enslaved. permanently.

Med.
This really isn't the "own" you think it is. Everyone in the UK these days has Norman ancestry, being butthurt about it is kinda like having Greeks still argue about Doric VS Ionic
>t. someone whose surname is literally D'Arcy
You’re a french rape baby.
Raped, shaved and enslaved.
don't care. Normans are an intrinsic part of English history and culture now, they're interwoven into our national fabric and literal DNA.
Northern France is genuinely the most similar to England part of mainland Europe.
>HAHA ANGLOS GOT KEKED BY NORM-ACK
>mr stark, i don't feel so good
>12 million of your people ethnically cleansed by the Soviets
>forced to carry the blame for the entire war and everyone refuses to acknowledge anything bad was done to you
being German is a unique kind of suffering
>being German is a unique kind of suffering
is there any other people that could bear such a burden?
Armenian. You get the genocided off half your land part, but not the great power actually relevant on the world stage part.
So you support genicede tranny?
You do so why shouldn't we?
We never but you do?
Classic commie
Kill yourself.
>German tactical victory
>English strategic victory
every fucking time
>big empire has more to fall back on and can focus more on overall strategy
>Smaller, upstart empire has no such luxury
German biggest problem is not getting America, Romania and possibly Japan on team side of Central Power.
no, the biggest problem was having a retarded midwit as emperor who managed to fuck up everything Bismarck had carefully laid out for him
>America
America would never have joined the central powers, that’s insanity.
It can decided whatever Americas joined or remain neutral.
"Getting America on their side" isn't exactly a trivial matter. It's not like you just click "improve relations" and suddenly your national interests and domestic views align.
It's true though. The British blockade of Germany remained unbroken and the High Seas Fleet was unable to ever leave port again, which meant that the British controlled the oceans and could starve Germany.
>that large of tonnage difference in the losses
Yeah angloids really didn't have the best sailors or naval tradition, just a big navy
it's one battle
A massive battle and closest thing to a even matched battle he royal navy has faced, even if the RN still had every advantag, and they still lose terribly kek
Bongoids are just kinda incompetent.
>Muh kay dee
>Yeah angloids really didn't have the best sailors or naval tradition
Admiral Tirpitz literally spoke English and sent his daughters to school in England lol. The Japanese Navy was also modelled off the British, with Admiral Togo having studied in the UK itself and a Scottish naval aviator having taught the Japanese carrier operations (pic related, Admiral Togo and Sempill examining an airplane for carrier use)
The UK's naval rivals were its own students.
>What is the point in having a navy if you're not going to use it ?
Wasn't one of the theses of the causes of WW1 related to the navy.
Basically, AFAIK, the germans were building up the navy to compete with the britcucks. But the result was that the navy that was built was too expensive, so they didn't want to use it?
