flaviohc16 Posted January 11 Share Posted January 11 So, in the ultimate admiral subreddit, we were talking about the campaign length, and how to extend it the end date got pushed to 1965 from 1950. I have a better idea that would greatly benefit gameplay with probably minimal work: ( Copy paste from my reddit post) I'm the 1st one who wants longer campaigns for world domination, but having WW2 era ships fighting with guns in the 60s is stupid. A better way to do thing would have been to give us more granularity time wise: every month last 2 turns ( let's call it 1st half and 2nd half of every month). This would have been a gigantic improvement for the game: 1) More granularity for movements: right now ships are stupidly slow, something that somewhat NAR improves 2) better for invasion, as you can have invasion that last less/more for the same tonnage of ports, so that small islands in the Pacific takes for example one 1 month and a half instead of the 3 months that we have now, same for land invasion 3) better for construction , especially in the 1st years of the campaign with small ships, you can have the 200 tons TBs ready in 4 months instead of 6 we have now. 4) we would have a way longer campaign, but it would still end in a more realistic 1950. 5) more gameplay for shorter campaigns. Right now the 10 years campaign are stupidly shorts, you don't have time to manage and conquer what you want. 6) better for managing relationship with others. And imho it would be such an easy conversion to do. What do you think? Devs would be hard to implement? 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ioulaum Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 (edited) China's Armored Cruiser V hull - Advanced Tower VI accuracy value seems wrong. (compares with the previous V tower below) All other stats are increasing as expected, other than base accuracy.

MDHansen Posted January 14 Share Posted January 14 Could this be a possible new feature later on? -be able to attack minor (ports) in an alliance with a major, with the result of the major declaring war on you To accomplish this you would need to place a fleet near their port within the operating range of your fleets, and stay there for a few turns, so that passing fleets dont trigger an attack randomly 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

itolan1752 Posted January 14 Share Posted January 14 Play this game again after some update. May I ask how to attack minor country's port? My fleet is stay near the Korean ports, but after many turns, fleet didn't attack, maybe I missing something? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tortenschachtel Posted January 14 Share Posted January 14 I just noticed that clicking on a port name in the "Submarines" tab jumps to that port on the world map. Doing so in the "Fleet" tab does not. Is this a bug or intentional? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Usually they do attack on the first turn. So a good chance it's a bug. If you play a vanilla build (no mod or savegame edit) best is to report through the ingame bugreporter Edited January 15 by MDHansen 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drenzul Posted January 15 Share Posted January 15 @Nick Thomadis Thought the hang on preparing for battle was meant to be fixed? Started a new campaign... first actual battle.... guess what lol. Unless battles are meant to take 20+ mins to load, which is when I closed the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sandermatt Posted January 15 Share Posted January 15 (edited) Coming back after not playing for a while I realize that some things, like citadel sizes and fore/aftweight offset are much better. What it still suffers from is that I can solo any enemy fleet on legendary with a single battleship. I just go 100% tech and build reasonably fast and well armored ships and I don't have to fear any enemy shots, while my guns sink everything. I think despite somewhat agressively scraping the AI still keeps around too many outdated ships, or does not invest enough into tech.

They are constantly turning and maneuvering which wrecks there accuracy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're even abandoning their own convoys! I’ve been looking into this myself and I don’t think the AI is retreating (or withdrawing as the game files call it) as that involves them sailing directly away from your ships. What does seem to happen though is the AI is sailing like they are trying to kite you and open the range (even if they are already outside the range of their own guns). I’m pretty sure this behaviour didn’t happen after a fix in 1.4.0.5 (or might have been 1.4.0.8) and it doesn’t seem to be a text parameter, but has reappeared. My guess is the fix got overwritten by accident during an update. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zuikaku Posted January 15 Share Posted January 15 (edited) Didn't see AI running away last few battles. Convoy escorts rushed at me to give transports time to run away. They even managed to damage me enough to become too slow for pursuit. It is far better than before. Edited January 15 by Zuikaku 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nick Thomadis Posted January 15 Author Share Posted January 15 Uploaded Optimized x2 version including the following: - Further optimization in the Battle AI logic affecting fps performance and, also, addressing issues where the AI could desire to fight too far away, even beyond its main guns' firing range. - Fixed issue of the torpedo friendly fire mechanics, making torpedoes unreliable in shooting, in several cases. - Fixed a tower issue which could result in some ships not having available a tower to design the ship, if they haven't progressed in the tower technology. This problem could cause random turn delays as ships could not be auto-designed in several tries. - A few other minor issues solved, in UI and localization. You need to restart Steam to get this update with no problems 7 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AdmiralBert Posted January 16 Share Posted January 16 Will the torpedo friendly fire mechanics being changed stop a division of screening destroyers firing their torpedoes through the path of the battleships they are screening? Asking for a friend. A very soggy friend, his battleship ate five friendly torpedoes. 5 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ioulaum Posted January 17 Share Posted January 17 (edited) The New AI just charging in without considering to bring all guns to bear, even a dedicated plunging shooter will try to closing in and get stern/bow belt penetrated. For some reason, AI doesn't want to show broadside and forced into a bow-in position. Edited January 17 by ioulaum Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
