Nick Thomadis Posted March 16, 2022 Share Posted March 16, 2022 Hello everyone, A new Beta v1.05 will be soon available, with many more improvements and new hulls. The campaign will have various fixes of bugs, which we already knew or you reported to us. The alliance mechanics will be finalized and these will provide the capability to include allied ships in the battles, allowing battles of multiple nations fighting with each other. The graphical interface of the whole game has been revamped, and many new hulls are added. Here is the updated changelog, which is not yet final, since we are still adding more ship variants. ==v1.05 Update== CAMPAIGN Map Expansion: Expanded the map to include the Mediterranean Sea and a larger portion of Europe. New Nations: Italy, France and Austria-Hungary are added to the major nations. The nations form two rival alliances and fight with each other for total victory (this is temporary functionality until we offer the prolonged campaign system). Task Forces: Previously you were able to move ships only between ports. You can now also form Task Forces, by grouping ships and sending them to any sea point on the map. In this way you block strategic passages and generate missions according to the ships in the vicinity. Refit Mode: Now you can refit your ships, from changing a few components to radically replacing weapons, funnels, towers with modern variations. This new and essential feature will allow you to utilize all the latest technology advancements for your current ships without the need to scrap them and build new ones. New Sea Roles: New sea roles added to the previous “In Being” and “Sea Control”, special for the Task Forces, offer more options for controlling strategically your ships. Interface improvements: There is a new tab “Politics” where you will later manage some diplomacy aspects. Now you are able to overview the relations and power of all nations. Additionally we added an “ Economy Growth” to the GDP which will be dependent later from various conditions. You will be warned when you want to end the turn with danger of going bankrupt. When you hover at a sea region a tooltip shows statistical information for the included fleets. Many other minor changes to support the new functionalities. Balances: Maintenance cost is balanced so that it is not so high now that ships will spend more time at sea with all the various and expensive sea roles. Tech research is balanced to be overall faster and tech priorities will give a more distinctive advantage when chosen. Various other balances were made to support the new campaign expansion. NEW GUNS Germany and Austria-Hungary receive new visuals for: 4-inch up to 16-inch Mark 2 guns and 9-inch up to 14-inch Mark 3 guns. New casemate gun models for late tech years. 54+ NEW HULLS A new base model for one of the most famous German Battlecruisers of World War I is added along with many new variants. Many new towers and parts are added or improved for previous hulls and the technology tree has changed to include the following new ships: The “Battlecruiser SMS Von der Tann” can now be faithfully recreated in the game. You can find it in the new German Hull “Battlecruiser I” with a displacement between 19,200 and 24,200 tons in the years 1907-1919.

The game now includes over 318 Hull Variants of which 33 are highly detailed base models. All the ships of the game use over 1381 different ship parts and thousands of different weapons in various sizes and tech levels. MAJOR NEW FEATURES Customization of Beam / Draught: You can now adjust the width and height of the hull in the design options. These adjustments will greatly affect the hull characteristics and the performance of your designed ships. New Components for AP/HE rounds ratio: Choose the distribution of AP and HE rounds between different settings for your main and secondary guns. You will no longer have indefinitely any type of AP or HE round but both will have their separate limit. New Components for AP/HE shell types: The type of the HE or AP shell can be now customized depending on technology. The different HE shells span between the options: HEI - High Explosive Incendiary Shell HCHE - High Capacity High Explosive Shell CNF - Nose Fuze Shell CP - Base Fuze Shell CPC - Common Pointed Capped CPBC - Common Pointed Ballistic Capped The varying AP shells are: SAP - Semi Armor Piercing Shell SAPBC - Semi Armor Piercing Ballistic Cap Shell AP - Armor Piercing Shell APC - Armor Piercing Capped Shell APBC - Armor Piercing Ballistic Capped Shell Improved APBC - Armor Piercing Ballistic Capped Shell New Battle Control Option “Avoid Ship”: By default it is enabled and allows the ships to automatically avoid other ships to prevent collision. You can now override this behavior individually for any of your ships, either for improving your swift maneuvers or for ramming the enemy… New Battle Control Option “Ammo for Secondary Guns": You can now choose what type of ammo is used for your Secondary Guns, Auto, AP or HE. Improved Shell Ballistics and Gun Aiming Mechanics: Following the various new options for AP and HE shells the shell ballistics now follow a much more characteristic trajectory depending on all their different physics variables. Additionally, the guns aim in a more realistic manner, firing salvoes depending on the target’s speed and angular velocity. For example, previously you would see shell salvoes to be mostly random in relation to the center of the target, but now salvoes are en mass fired forward, aft, in front or behind the target until the range is found and hits start to be achieved. This automatic procedure affects the base accuracy and now makes the firing more natural and expected depending on target distance. Improved Ship Motion at Sea: Ship buoyancy mechanics are enriched to support the new Beam/Draught options. The interaction of ships with waves is now more characteristic depending on the weight offset, pitch/roll, beam/draught options chosen for their design. Exponential speed limit for hulls: As ships reach a maximum speed barrier depending on the hull technology, then the engine weight needed to achieve a higher speed increases exponentially. Thus it will be much harder to design unrealistically fast ships with old hulls, something that a lot of players abused to make much faster ships than the AI to overwhelm it. OTHER IMPROVEMENTS Over penetration mechanics improvement: Overpenetration will now happen with more accurate conditions. Previously the unarmored ships would mostly overpenetrate, or the heavily armored almost never became overpenetrated. Flooding mechanics improvement: Flooding from direct hits will now spread not only to adjacent sections but further beyond, depending on the height of water inside the flooded sections. This new feature addresses the previous unnatural survivability for smaller ships (especially the torpedo boats) which would become unsinkable until more sections were flooded from a direct hit. With this new feature, the torpedo and flooding protection schemes in the design options will be more than essential. AP/HE different stats: When you hover on guns to see their info tooltip you will now see detailed and different statistics for AP/HE shell weights, damage, range, muzzle velocity, penetration and accuracy tables. Crew scales with hull size and displacement: As you change displacement, beam/ draught the hull crew number will change accordingly. Previously the “Control Station” crew was not scaling. Added instability/beam/draught values in battle UI: These are important design aspects, useful to know for any ship that participates in a battle. Save file system improved: When a new game version requires it, obsolete save files will be discarded and new will be generated automatically. This will stop the confusion of players when the game would become broken due to incompatible saves (invalid designs, exceptions, floating guns etc.) Ship weight/cost balances: Balanced the weight and cost for various parts and components, as it was needed for all the latest new features. Other balances: The “Dunnite” explosive charge is available in late tech years, new Radar Rangefinder III is now available and other minor improvements or balances for the ship design options. Minor Visual Effects Improvement: You will notice a little better visual effects overall. Graphical Interface Improvement: We have changed the graphical interface in various aspects of the game, in the campaign, battle stats, shipyard, menu etc. to be more pleasing to the eye. NEW MISSIONS One new mission (To be announced). BATTLE AI The Battle AI is further improved to make decisions more promptly and effectively by using more algorithms. The result is an AI that will know better when to attack and defend and at which distance, always depending on the nation's personality. Auto Targeting is influenced by the new AI algorithms and is more effective. Some older issues should become resolved, for example the over-prioritization of Transports. Improved the AI decision making on switching shell type. You will notice that the ships will more successfully switch ammo depending on the armor and angle of the target. AI auto-design algorithms enriched to support all the new features for Beam/Draught, new components. The ships created will be balanced in protection and firepower and thus more potent adversaries. BUG FIXES Several division movement bugs were fixed: Ships will not confuse so much as before in dense formations. Further fixes will come after feedback. Fixed issue that caused the division ship leader to instantly switch position when receiving little damage, causing confusion to the formation. Fixed bug that would cause ships of screen formation to immediately try to switch position at the start of battle, creating big confusion in the formation. Fixed bugs that would cause the showing of inaccurate statistical data after battle. Fixed some issues with barbettes that were not available in mount positions, while they should. This bug would cause issues in the auto-design which made it very difficult to find a proper barbette to place a gun. Fixed old issue of inconsistent reverse engine damage. Minor text fixes. *==============================* The war in Ukraine has affected our development team, but the majority is able to continue to work on the game. Some of our teammates cannot participate at the moment and we wish they will be strong and safe, to continue later when the situation allows it. Stay tuned, as we plan to offer the next major update within this week. Thank you for reading, The Game-Labs Team 27 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will admit I was hoping for some later cruiser hulls like the Leander, Town and county classes but for a game called Ultimate Admiral Dreadnoughts these do take priority 😃 I cant decide what to try and make first HMS Warspite, HMS Iron Duke, SMS Konig or SMS Von der Tann. (Thats Actually not true I can decide the decision is always the same HMS Warspite) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IshPR7777 Posted March 17, 2022 Share Posted March 17, 2022 Hey Nick, I hope yourself and your team are okay during the war in Ukraine as long as you guys stay strong. But when @Danz_Von_Luck was saying about the later cruiser hulls like the Leander, Town and county classes, is that they would be added in the game for Britain. Also for myself about the American hulls that would be added in the game for the future, I would want to add Mississippi-class battleship hull design, Wyoming-class battleship hull design, New York-class battleship hull design, Nevada-class battleship hull design, Pennsylvania-class battleship hull design, New Mexico-class battleship hull design, Tennessee-class battleship hull design and Colorado-class battleship hull design, so it would be 8 battleship hull designs for America along with model parts of them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fangoriously Posted March 17, 2022 Share Posted March 17, 2022 (edited) All those hulls sound like they will be great additions, the WW2 era was pretty well filled out but the WW1 era definitely needed an improvement on those 3 to 4 generic hulls and towers everyone gets. At this point, the American dreads need an overhaul the most, the dread 1/2 need a redo, most of that built in super structure should be place-able fore and aft tower parts, and hulls to represent the whole line of standard battleships, and their later modernization, would be great. edit wow, looks like a general conscientious on american hulls next plz has been reached lol.

slightlytreasonous Posted March 17, 2022 Share Posted March 17, 2022 There needs to be additions everywhere, it only makes sense they're working on those for the nations in the campaign. But, I will agree we desperately need CLs. Honestly it pains me to design them, I absolutely never use them. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, we also desperately need more American Dreadnought hull models that USA had from WW1 era period since we only had one that resembles to South Carolina Class Battleship Edited March 17, 2022 by IsmaelMolina2021 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Japan and China is likely next, based off the patch notes. The campaign takes the lack of ship variety and puts a huge highlight on it.

Candle_86 Posted March 17, 2022 Share Posted March 17, 2022 Well for American Hulls when done, we could get buy with one Deleware/Utah type hull because Dreadnaught 1 doesn't work for it, and we need 1 New York/standard type, 1 Tennesse/Colorado type, and we really need the early like Main/Virgina/Kearsarge/Conneticut class hulls, because i want to be able to stick a dual 8in turrent ontop of my 13 and 12in American Mk1 Turrets Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Japan and China is likely next, based off the patch notes. The campaign takes the lack of ship variety and puts a huge highlight on it. If you ask me, we mainly need a superstructure designer. I see. As for Japan, there's something missing, it is about Kongo type hull Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IshPR7777 Posted March 17, 2022 Share Posted March 17, 2022 Thank you, and don't forget about American battleship hulls that I mentioned earlier where it's lacking on WW1 era and Pre-dreadnought era, @Candle_86 and I requested for that. Even the gun models for those American battleship hulls Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some of our teammates cannot participate at the moment and we wish they will be strong and safe, to continue later when the situation allows it. Stay tuned, as we plan to offer the next major update within this week. Thank you for reading, The Game-Labs Team I think I speak for all of us when I say that no matter how awaited, no patch or release is more important than the lives of your team members. I hope they are all safe, and if they are not, that they will soon be! 16 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suggest make a mission about US Navy and Spanish Navy in the Spanish-American War of 1898, this time it would focused on Philippines to see what would happen if Spain has a modern fleet to match up against the US Navy that they would trying to liberate Philippines from them by supporting Philippine independent rebels Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slightlytreasonous Posted March 18, 2022 Share Posted March 18, 2022 Somewhat related to the above, one thing I don't get is the AI can have different ship classes in the missions for a while as I understand- why can't or hasn't it extended to custom battles?
