I'm currently playing as Russia, but also previously played as USA.
Having issue with the cage masts;
Firstly the cage mast 1 wont fit on battleship hulls ~1890s cant remember the specific hull names, sorry.
Secondly I am unable to mount 2" casemates on the tower, although it appears they should be able to. Mounting point appear on the bridge wings.
And I'm still getting FPS/lag spikes when manually aiming my ships guns, which then restore to not a lag fest when i deselect the ships.
But in general this version does appear to be more stable and better game experience from my point of view.
Keep up the hard work!
