You can get away with playing BB/BC only, you can also do CA only as well. AI do not armour their ship much, the generic 1920 CA hull equipped with 11.5" inch is a excellent jack of all trade (they are superior to later CA of all nation somehow).

Looks like the inverted VP bug on the Austrian apply to fight vs any nation. I Beated the British and Italian so hard that I am about to lose:

I get the VP from beating the Italians, but for at least two (big) battle vs the french the vp went to them. they are at 32000 vs 3000 vp now lol.

There is a bug with Austria, Victory point and prestige are given to France when you fight vs them and win. I sank almost all the french fleet and I am close to a revolution because of it!

Anyones knows the name used for the Austro-hugarian empire in the campaign_p.json? I would like to skip the per-dreadnough era as they have no interesting hull in that period.

What about having the option of doing at least one battle per turn? If the withdraw or delay would be more likely to work that could enable both. What nation made you say that btw? As the Austrian I had quite allot of battle, as the french almost none. I think its due to one side being stacked very heavily.

Humm "update relationship" can get awfully long between some turns.

Well I certainly hope we do not get too many battle. Ship are long to build both for the player and AI.

So you cant change gun grade with a refit?

Thanks, The darkened "refit" button made me think it was not possible at the moment.

how did you got the refit option available?

I am not sure about him. But with the nation I tested I never seen the refit option available. I finished some tech that I think could have allowed upgrade.

To end this on a good note. I am very happy they went for more flexible beam ratio and ship upgrade. Those two factor will address what I see as the main weakness in the game as it currently is, which is lack of variety. There is only a handful of ways you can built a ship in any given era, for me it make it quite boring and repetitive. Ship upgrade may (I hope) allow to install a more diverse range of tower on a ship, that plus tweakable beam ratio will greatly improve the variety of ship you can make. Cost and maintenance ballance will be welcomed as well. I am fine with waiting the time it take to have that. But clearer communication would be great.

R6S call those designer notes, and else sometimes. I see Squad calling that roadmap and playtest, playtest were playable I separated branch assume, therefore having a actual change log. There is multiple ways you can call that, but I have never seen patch notes on something not done yet, it simply carry a different meaning. Again (and I said that multiple times already), it isn't the main problem I have. If it would be only that I would have find it curious but I have not commented on it.

I actually have it installed on steam too lol. But yeah for a second I forgot it was the case. Take a look at the announcement they made about 1.05 on the comment section.
