Inaacuracy of ships.

[baltic1284]

There is a few inaccuracies I need point out of the game dealing with actual ships design first the London treaties so as to have a base to explain it all.

London Naval treaties came in two agreements before the out break of the second world war, there was talks of a third agreement but the war broke out so discussion of it was never completed explain later. This will be summarized as it is very lengthy and long and dry so I shortened it too be quick and easy.

Destroyer  1,850 tons and guns not exceeding 5.1 in (130 mm) exceptions where made in the second part for destroyers for Destroyer Escorts DE and Large Destroyers DL ( Destroyer Leaders) in weight they could weigh up too 2500 tones and no more but the gun size limit was still imposed.

Light Cruiser guns no greater than 6.1 in (155 mm) ("light cruisers" in unofficial parlance) Special agreement was made for Soviet Union to have 7 inch guns due to the fact there ships where built and laid down before the agreement later on in the second part those ships where deemed Heavy Cruisers. Weight limit was set to be no more than 10 000 tones in total later changed to exclude fuel water and any other material used in support of the crew living conditions and lubricants for the ships mission other than built on the ship. This agreement was also done for Heavy Cruisers.

Heavy Cruiser guns up to 8 in (203 mm) ("heavy cruisers") Weight limit was set to be no more than 10 000 tones in total later changed to exclude fuel water and any other material used in support of the crew living conditions and lubricants for the ships mission other than built on the ship. This agreement was also done for Heavy Cruisers.

Battlecruisers and Battleships,  as the treaty was concerned both where to be treated as capital ships were restricted to a 35,000 long tons (35,562 t) standard displacement and 14-inch (356 mm) guns.However, a so-called "escalator clause" was included at the urging of American negotiators in case any of the countries that had signed the Washington Naval Treaty refused to adhere to this new limit. This provision allowed the signatory countries of the Second London Treaty—France, the United Kingdom and the United States—to raise the limit from 14-inch guns to 16-inch if Japan Italy refused to sign the agreement.

 

Part 3 which was never due to the war made changes to Heavy Cruisers and Battlecruisers and battleships Heavy Cruiser weight changed to allow 20 000 tone max Battlecruisers and Large Cruisers weight was the old battleship no more than 35000 ton weight and could carry guns no larger than 12 inches and no smaller than 9 or 10 inches. Battle ships weight increase to  something 60000 in total and could carry guns no larger than 16 and no smaller than 13 inches.

Now on to issues and bugs I have found.

The Italian 6 inch gun is not showing properly for the later years 1934 and later past 1940, in game the 7 inch gun is right look wise but the Italian 6 inch gun looks the same as the 7 inch gun. Image provided  http://www.navweaps.com/Weapons/WNIT_6-55_m1936.php

The US 8 inch gun is also inaccurate for anything past 1930 the US 8 Inch/mm Mark 12 and 16 guns looked like the 9 inch and 6 Inch guns in game and not like the Italian 8 inch gun design. Image provided of St Paul. http://www.navweaps.com/Weapons/WNUS_8-55_mk12-15.php

German Light Cruiser forward bridge and aft bridge are incorrect German light Cruisers that where to be built had bridge shape much to the Admiral Hipper class ship for forward bridge and aft bridge just smaller in size to fit the new ships, many where based on the Admiral hipper class as the class was originally a light Cruiser to carry 12 6 inch guns, later changed while in design to carry 8 inch guns.

Secondary guns when rotated to face rear show as bad gun angles when none exist, some guns no matter what you do show that and none exist also.

Error codes present when entering a custom match for German, Austrian and US ships on various areas including bridges guns and general layout and sound issues.

That si all for now working on a second part with more errors and issues I find when I get see theme and compiling the list.
