Bow customization

[Hussarball_PL]

 Recently i've came up with idea of modifying battleships bow, this is how i see it (used paint because is easy and fast). About bonuses i think they should be minuscule, bows are not as important as towers. I don't think that implementing such idea would be very hard however considering that UAD team is small i would not be surprised if such concept would not end up in game.

Yes would be great to modify the bows - even if it’s only cosmetic

I like the idea, but I don't expect to see it in the game.

I like the idea, but one could argue that these aspects are already integrated in the hull chosen. Again, I am all for getting more flavour and diversity for the ships. I do think camouflage would be a bit more easy to introduce.

The bow badge is called the Chrysanthemum Seal, it's exclusive to Imperial Japan and is used on things representing the Emperor's authority. From 1898 to 1945 it was used on every ship heavy cruiser and above. (Possibly light cruisers as well?)

But more variety is exactly what I need. I signed into the game once the patch dropped and designed a French Battlecruiser. Launched a couple of salvos and that’s it for my experience with Alpha 9. Afterwards I tried it build be an Incomparable but the UK BC can’t use the big guns apparently. 
 

I think some variety would certainly help here - adjust the hull form for example:

- length to beam ratio

- bow and stern form

- representation of engine and boiler rooms 

 

Plus: some more granular superstructure options:

- separate bridge section

- separate mast 

- more options to place funnels (link to machinery spaces)

- etc. etc. etc.
