So I buy into a game, when I see a product that has potential. I see that the developer has quite a bit of work in it's past so this isn't their first stab at something..
I followed all the Youtubers, I watched everything.. I'm 40 and have played almost every naval strat game from SSI days-till now. "Dreadnoughts" was the NEW HOTNESS...
Once the hype was over and the initial fervor was over.. It seems everyone here or on YT is having "fun" with whatever SUPER-DUPER ultra, never existed fantasy wet dream they can manage to cobble together and smite the AI... and that's where I'm finding that this game is ankle deep... sigh.. I was hoping for a bit more depth.
I know it's still being worked on.. and I will continue to play as they update.. but it's sad when you can't even build a real ship. not trying to cheese the system.. just build an ACTUAL ship that existed is NOT possible.
So here is my challenge if you can prove me wrong. Build a Cruiser the matches this ACTUAL vessel.

You can't. You can't place the armament, you can't put the armor, you definitely cant put the engine type it actually had in that year it existed.. because in game 3-expansion isn't available until 1895.
You can't build vessels that actually existed.. If this is a "game balance" issue, I think the dev needs to go back to the drawing board. because if you can't do the one thing you set out to do...what was the point.
It's like this game named itself DREADNOUGHTS and decided to focus on everything but..
Please someone make me a dreadnought...

and don't get me started on why we can't actually build french hotels..err dreadnoughts..
Well I got that out of my system..whew.
now the backlash... I brace myself...
I wait for the day when I can actually place my guns and stacks and towers NOT on A Predefined GRID. but where they actually went..
I really do appreciate this game.. but if I wanted to play "world of warships" i can.....and I don't.
and a campaign, that'd be nice too.
