Cptbarney Posted October 28, 2020 Share Posted October 28, 2020 17 hours ago, SonicB said: Just an issue I brought up a while ago that makes sense to post here since the British (quad turrets) are coming. Any plans to group the aiming of main and secondary batteries by calibre alone, not by calibre + turret type + turret location? Building a KGV-type arrangement with these new turrets will be nerfed significantly if the single twin turret has separate targeting to the double quad turrets. Even the whole point of a uniform main battery in Dreadnought herself is faulty because the game requires centreline and side 12" turrets to aim separately. Plus you can't even get 330mm's or higher on dreadnought for wing turrets so your forced to use 305's until they fix the problem with that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Worry_Rock Posted October 28, 2020 Share Posted October 28, 2020 With the French Quads I wanted to ask if like in real life they would be separated into multiple compartments? because in real life they were less like the British Quads that were one turret and more like two Twins tied together. This most famously worked at Mers-El-Kebir, where one of the roofs of Dunkerque's Quad turrets was penetrated by a 381mm shell that killed the entire gun crew on that side of the turret, but the two on the other side were undamaged and continued to operate. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I'm not aware of any completed dreadnought designs with greater than 12"/305mm off the centreline, presumably for weight reasons. When the RN (which had preferred wing turrets to superfiring) moved to 13.5" with the Orions they also chose an all-centreline superfiring layout. That said, assuming the model physically fits, it would be nice to allow 13" or even 14" turrets just so we have the option to make that tradeoff.

Not for a game based on alt-history and also a designer clearly based on making your own ship. Not mention not every nation had HMS dreadnought as their mainstay BB at the time either. Otherwise get rid of the higher caliber guns. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cptbarney Posted October 29, 2020 Share Posted October 29, 2020 Makes me wonder if we will see the patch till 16th of november too be honest. Probs never get to see more pre-dread hulls as well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't wait for this update, and I hope that we will receive it in the first week of november. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bluishdoor76 Posted October 29, 2020 Share Posted October 29, 2020 I hope they release the update soon, because at least for me as I've mentioned before, this game has a ticking timer that is mid November. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s more likely re-works forced out more re-works, if not then there been a disaster! We’ll know what's what when and if they add more notes to the update.

Marshall99 Posted October 29, 2020 Share Posted October 29, 2020 I just saw this announcement. OMG Well, the devs must do something, they have to hurry up a little bit. Because if the battleships will be implemented into War Thunder, than lots of players will play that game, and sadly everybody will forget about everything else (hope not tho) 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Naval is definitely not as rage inducing as tanks imo, but yeah it'll still be a PvP game mode. But with the model quality of War Thunder, its definitely worth it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Along with maybe doing it in blender as well, as my license for substance won't last forever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
