Lobokai Posted October 30, 2019 Share Posted October 30, 2019 Quads are really from the wrong era... they'd be really really far down my list of things I'd like to see the designers implement Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats a shame would of been an interesting ship judging from the blurb down below. Although they should of added a few combat scenarios to make her that much more interesting even if she was fake. what a bloody shame lol. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ye, didnt realise that at the time however. oh well, still quad and quintuple turrets would be noice to have anyways. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SiWi Posted October 31, 2019 Share Posted October 31, 2019 personally I would like to go even more ridiculous then 4 gun turret and really go to 5,6 or even more gun turrets. Fitting mali of course. Same I would like guns above 18 inches. The game is about what ifs and what ifs does include people making insane design decisions when it comes to turrets.

Illya von Einzbern Posted October 31, 2019 Share Posted October 31, 2019 oh god octuple 18" guns...... please we can go silly but (how to put it mildly).... Going stupendous is just stupendously silly. why stop at 6 when you can go infinite.... Just keep it on quad it's fine. Having more guns on the turret would simply make it too large to mount and too cumbersome to even use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also I "need" sixtruppels for me to build the Tillman BB's for the USA... And in case "tillman" doesn't ring a bell, here a explanation: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hense where the whole historical and non-historical modes would come into play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess? no, I really have no need for them... in the pre-Washington era the Americans and Italians liked x3s, Russians too... quads really aren't a thing in the WW1/interwar period until a more pre-WW2 than post-WW1 focus began (which kinda leaves the scope of this game, no?). nah, this game gets into WW2 and even already includes yamato designs and radar which is great with that being said, if they introduce quads, I would limit quads to the calibers they were actually built and used in on ships: 14 inches on the king george V class 13in on Dunkerque class and 15in on the Richelieu class I wouldn't want to see something that never actually existed be introduced (16in+ quads) Edited November 1, 2019 by Tammuz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lobokai Posted November 1, 2019 Share Posted November 1, 2019 do quads in game just single fire until they've bracketed a target and then go full fire? because if not, don't think I'd even use them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed, would be nice to set things like 1/3rd of guns used in ranging shots for ships with 3 gun turrets, or 1/2 for ships with 2 or ladder where its one turret at a time. Basically the more options the better options is love, options is life. Also would be nice to have a Us style "Final Defensive Fire" order for like when a torpedo boat squadron is closing in too close. Lets the ship fire faster for a time but at a cost of a significantly reduced fire speed after. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having multiple firing options is nice, which you could set for each turret or just a bunch of turret so group A fires a full volley, Group B fires stagger shots and Group C holds fire untill a certain accuracy % or something.
