Jatzi Posted October 13, 2019 Share Posted October 13, 2019 1 hour ago, Jay Gatsby said: Exactly this is how it should be👍 Pretty sure that's how it is. If you get triple turrets and look at the aiming modifiers it says triple turret technology -10% or whatever. Basically in the naval academy you don't have access to that tech. In the campaign you will. Seriously the campaign will be super different. Balanced tech progression rather than the random boosts you get in the missions changes a lot. You can actually play the campaign right not by using the left alt key when you click on it. It's very buggy and crashy and not polished or finished but you can totally see a difference in the combat in 1890 vs in the missions. I had a legacy BB take two torpedoes midships and die in seconds when everyone was complaining about torpedoes in the naval academy. Yeah they have serious issues with torpedoes and other things but just having balanced tech vs random upgrades in specific areas will help a lot in soothing people's concerns Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Finwenolofinwe Posted October 13, 2019 Share Posted October 13, 2019 I feel like heavy and superheavy shells shouldn't do more damage than normal shells, but rather less, since the only way to increase the weigt ofg a shell of given caliber was to make the explosive container thicker, thereby decreasing explosive yield. The superheavy 16' shells the americans used on the iowas for example had a similar explosive yield to contemporary british 15'. Shell weight should mainly be a tradeoff between damage potential and AP-capability. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christian Posted October 13, 2019 Share Posted October 13, 2019 one thing i dont like about single guns is for some magical reason they have 50% shorter reload this makes no sense from a historical nor mechanical perspective generally speaking single guns were just as bad as twin barrel guns as can be seen this twin turret suffers from TWICE AS LONG reload as a single turret 1.02 has a -33% decrease from 1.53 58.8 has a 50% increase from 39.2 i dont see why twin turrets should get punished this much in reload (its also a MK-3 turret so its a High tech turret) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shell weight should mainly be a tradeoff between damage potential and AP-capability. I agree with this. Perhaps light shells should be lighter, have low yield and AP capabilities. Normal shells should have normal yield and AP, but heavy and super heavy should have low yield but high penetration. This could be offset with lyddite explosive to raise yield but reserve some penetration. 2 minutes ago, Christian said: one thing i dont like about single guns is for some magical reason they have 50% shorter reload this makes no sense from a historical nor mechanical perspective generally speaking single guns were just as bad as twin barrel guns as can be seen this twin turret suffers from TWICE AS LONG reload as a single turret 1.02 has a -33% decrease from 1.53 58.8 has a 50% increase from 39.2 i dont see why twin turrets should get punished this much in reload (its also a MK-3 turret so its a High tech turret) In early pre-dreadnoughts and ironclads, didn't twin guns have to be loaded one at a time?

Shell weight should mainly be a tradeoff between damage potential and AP-capability. Just because you are comparing 2 different projectiles, this is not a fair comparison, in reality the British 15 inch has more explosive than the 16 inch Mk 8 super heavy but has much less penetration, in this game the design of the projectiles is standardized, the 16 inch Mk 8 super heavy has more explosive and more penetration than the lighter predecessor 16 inch Mk 5 (15.2 kg vs 18.55 kg of explosive), this is a fair comparison The British 15 inch Mark XXIIb APC looks more like a semi-armor piercing than an armor piercing, it has too much explosive Edited October 13, 2019 by Jay Gatsby Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imeoin01 Posted October 13, 2019 Share Posted October 13, 2019 In the "destroy a fleet" mission" how can you find the enemy fleet in the distance faster? There is the option of sailing to the direction where the smoke is from, but the enemy has a chance to shoot tons of shots at you and you can't do anything until a ship suddenly appears. By the time your found them, your a bit too close and they can bombard you thus taking lots of damage. I find the enemy able to shoot at you early is a bit of an unfair advantage as well as having more ships in their fleet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In early pre-dreadnoughts and ironclads, didn't twin guns have to be loaded one at a time? no they were loaded both at the same time in single gun turrets you had a single ammunition elevator and crew for it and the handling room and the loading part (the turret) in a double gun turret you have 2 ammunition elevators the crew for it a handling room for both guns and a larger turret with more crew generally speaking adding another barrel is just putting another single gun with reloading and all the other gear next to the one already in there really the only diffrence is the twin gun usually takes up more width in the turret which usually makes the turret bigger though the general deciding factor for how big a turret is is gun size and how cramped you can make the hoists and how little space you need for reloading the main factor limiting reload speed is not so much crew but more the capability of the ammuniton elevators and how good the mechanical loading gear in the turret is this is mainly due to the fact humans cant lift 12 inch shells so the more assistance the equipment gives the better twin turrets dont have any less of that than single turrets good diagram showcasing the layout of the hoists in a triple turret its basically 3 guns next to eachother with the accompanying hoist a single turret would have been the exact same except just 1 gun and 1 hoist a better comparison between dual and single would be as can be seen the only diffrence between the dual and single gun in this case is the size of the gun house and the amount of space and hoists given to each gun both guns have ready service projectiles and power (its hard to see on the top one and its not listed but its there if you look at twin 5"38 blueprints) and both have 2 hoists per gun one for powder one for projectile (powder is not mentioned in the single 5 inch gun but it also has a powder hoist https://www.okieboat.com/Copyright images/5-38 mount plan 1024.jpg http://041864b.netsolhost.com/Gunnery/5inch/imgC7.gif these 2 links show the crew in each gun (top is twin bottom is single) its also interesting to be noted that the twin gun turret has almost twice as many people operating the guns as the single one does they both have 3 people to aim sight the gun a checker a pointer and a trainer though they arent named the same in the diagrams they do the same jobs and should be named the same the only 2 other similarity is they both have 1 fuze setter the twin gun has twice as many powder men projectile men hot case men and gun captains the guns both have a mount captain (its called spade man in the single one for some reason) but the twin mount lacks the gunners mate pictures so you can visibly see how the crew layout is and get a better 3d perspective http://www.armed-guard.com/bag081.jpg (single) https://i.imgur.com/iu0VCWk.jpg (twin) but crew count needed per gun is lower for the twin 5" gun while retaining just as high a firerate accuracy and reliability with just as many people to operate the guns themselves but the crew needed for other stations per gun decreases this in all leads to the gearing class destroyers having a total gun crew for the 5 inch guns of 42 men (for the turrets not for hoists and all that) while the fletcher has a gun crew of 55 (turrets only) which leads to 1 more gun firepower yet 13 crewmen less on the gearing which saves space on the destroyer for other things Edited October 13, 2019 by Christian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Double and Triple turrets needed more complex reload mechanisms to achieve a sufficient reload analogy to single turrets. Shell interference between close mounted guns, created extra turbulence and errors to accuracy calculation. All these problems are gradually solved by technology and this is simulated better in campaign (where all technologies can progress in a balanced manner, according to player decisions) or late missions.
