Morningstar

as the title suggests, ships in the back of a battle line like to overtake the lead ship without formation changes, usually when the lead ship has taken some battle damage and slowed down slightly. the 'change leader' feature doesn't actually work despite me turning it on(and it's a bit of a mess), and I've lost a battlecruiser and several destroyers because of this, the battlecruiser because she took shells meant for the lead ship, and the destroyers because they took full salvoes of friendly torpedoes. I believe this has only occured in 1.5.0 for me. implementing a slowdown for trailing ships to match the lead ship when they are in their proper formation positions feels like a fairly easy fix. cheers

I see. thank you very much so that would explain why britain is always very advanced in tech

in my 1900 AH NAR Legendary campaign I found myself behind on tech by march 1904 despite keeping my research budget at maximum. does the mod change tech progression significantly?

Especially since AI likes to cluster ships, this could be pretty punishing.

Actually, maybe this could work, with guns that have limited ammo, poor accuracy, but insane fire rate so they’re essentially MLRS. Might be worth trying.

Thank you! Surprisingly the Target Fast Speed debuff is only 93% for 120 kn BB.

So apparently collision avoidance just doesn’t work anymore, might be NAR at work, gonna see if that’s the case in vanilla.

I know it’s a feature, but they still had massive trouble trying to sort themselves out, just couldn’t avoid collisions even with avoid on. No Jutland battle line for me I guess, the last five ships just kept ramming into each other and doing donuts. The first ten or so vessels were fine. Wonder what Target High Speed debuffs the enemy will get

Also 1 extra inch on the citadel is equivalent to ten inches on the belt, which is… odd.

20 ship dreadnought division, plz nerf I guess I could have supersonic bbs soon

For this photo I’m running NAR, but it has happened frequently with 20kn dreadnoughts in vanilla, too, and for basically any ship.

Are you sure they’re supposed to go this fast? 15000 ton pre-dreadnoughts, built for 15kn What the heck.

Edit: sorry, didn’t see next page

It seems that currently we can get tons of armour, especially belt armour for next to nothing. Ten extra inches of belt armour adds like 1 or 2% to a battleship’s tonnage, tried in 1900, 1915, 1920, using NAR in the most recent update. Is this supposed to happen?

Well, as summer vacation ran out so did my Ultimate Admiral Dreadnoughts time, but I have had the longstanding tradition of drawing ships with pencil only. I believe I’ve done so for at least five to six years by now. The very first drawings were ugly cruise liners/yacht hybrids fitted with huge guns and something like 600% draft imo, but over the years I’ve learnt to refine my designs bit by bit and I’m fairly happy with the results. The descriptions vary in detail, but they at least show the name. Now that I’m out of practice, I can’t even draw a good below waterline hull and propellers. These are two of my newest designs, and although one is a guided missile cruiser it’s really just a 1940+ battleship/battlecruiser with some missiles attached… I suppose you could even photoshop the missiles out and apply guns yourself.
