Nick Thomadis Posted March 31, 2020 Share Posted March 31, 2020 We have just updated the game offering various small hotfixes for the main game, and in addition we present two special missions that include two of the earliest and most famous ironclads, the "USS Monitor" and "CSS Virginia".

Cptbarney Posted March 31, 2020 Share Posted March 31, 2020 yay we can go bak further than 1890! *insert troll face* also noice i get to see the first precursors to the pre-dreads, funny how both designs inhibit different aspects of the same future ship type.

Ramming will not work unfortunately due to current evasion logic interference and very slow speed of those ships. We will improve ramming in next updates. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cries in La Gloire and HMS Warrior On a serious note, will the game be expanding to cover 1860-1890? That would be amazing! 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wowzery Posted March 31, 2020 Share Posted March 31, 2020 Tried a battle already, ended in a tie. Tried to ram but evasion logic interference slowed the ships down to a crawl before anything could happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The other missions i just ended both california and the ship with gunz. (thank god they had few bulkheads lol). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mhtsos Posted March 31, 2020 Share Posted March 31, 2020 First battle seems was a tie as pretty much expected. The best part is that the most damage done and the almost one-hit-sink was when one of the two deployed Monitors hit and full penetrated the belt armour (most likely under the waterline because it started sinking) the other. It would be an absolute awesome moment, if that wasn't my fleet... Well, at least I now know that friendly fire works. 😛 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fishyfish Posted March 31, 2020 Share Posted March 31, 2020 Holy fisssshfins! This is awesome! I am genuinely surprised and pleasantly delighted at this little update! Time to build me an USS Onondaga! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fishyfish Posted March 31, 2020 Share Posted March 31, 2020 Well that was quite a rumble, I decided to pause the build of an Onodaga upon realizing I only needed one main turret, so reveling in that fact (having wanted monitor warships for quite some time, albeit not expecting the OG monitors) I went with and oldy but goody and built a standard monitor. And boy did she take a pounding, yet despite the pockmarked surface actually managed to comfortably dispatch the, uh, spanish? ironclad once safely steaming into spitting distance and landing some 12 inch hits below the water line.  The enemy seemed to expel a lot of fire power on the wheel house, does the AI target specific modules? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frankly I was drawn to this game because of pre-dreadnoughts, this underrepresented era of naval steampunk awesomeness, which seemed to be "the thing" about this game, but it turned soon more towards WW2 stuff...Am I the only weirdo who is more hyped about some late 1800's beauty than Yamato?

Ninju Posted April 1, 2020 Share Posted April 1, 2020  Thanks for the surprise! BTW. Is the placement of the main guns on the IC hull is intentional?  Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cptbarney Posted April 1, 2020 Share Posted April 1, 2020 Yeah, @Nick Thomadis if you can keep these ships in would be a damm waste too see them go as well (plus gives you the excuse to add in hms thunderer as well lol). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
