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 post Share on other sites

That would make sense though wouldn't it? 305mm guns were what Dreadnought had... Link to post Share on other sites
Worry_Rock 33 Posted October 28 Share Posted October 28 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 post Share on other sites

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. Link to post Share on other sites

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 post Share on other sites

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

Bluishdoor76 373 Posted October 29 Share Posted October 29 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 post Share on other sites

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.

Damm, Game labs needs to hurry up den lol. Since im sure the release of the new patch will give peeps quite a bit of content to play with until alpha 10. 3 Link to post Share on other sites
Marshall99 598 Posted October 29 Share Posted October 29 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 post Share on other sites

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 post Share on other sites

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