or below:
============================
BALANCES
Gun rebalance: The smaller guns from 9-inches and lower are now reloading slightly slower and with more desynchronization. Their damage became accordingly higher. Damage now will be more meaningful per caliber and guns below 7-inch will clearly be more useful agai
Addition to above, to not bloat it more.
Customizable above-water design.
- Freeboard height/number of above-waterline decks
- Forecastle
- Poop deck / stern cut-off (look at Hood and others)
Adding more decksĀ enhances ship's behaviour in heavy seas and crew accommodation, but hits negatively it's weight, stability (esp. with guns on top), detection ranges and cost. Lowered stern decreases reverse speed, while raised stern decks increase it. Also obviously floating castle is easier
