Yamato's 460s showed a certain amount of sophistication, while the class did receive several radars as improvements were made. It is amusing to note that Yamato's actual flaws are almost always ignored in favor of "she had NO radar," "her armor was awful," and other such stuff. While it is true that a low-angle shot at point-blank range "proved" that a 16" shell could pierce a slab of test armor, such testing conditions are not precisely realistic. British testing of Yamato's armor type reportedly showed high quality, more in line for a vessel intended to withstand her own heavy guns at realistic battle ranges. tl;dr If Tex built an early Yamato equivalent, he did well.

I think the reason why it keeps going overweight is because of the depression fueled ice cream binges of the crew. Knowing that they will never see battle or if they ever get close to battle they will explode.

I know it's an expensive folly, but the Hapsburg is fucking epic. I want to see it until the end!

I built a light cruiser in this game that had something like 7 × 5" guns along each side of the ship for a total of 14 × 5" guns. It could shred opposing ships of similar or smaller size and put the hurt on larger ships even. Unfortunately, it did have one problem, and that had to do with how close the guns were, so that when the ship took a bad hit, it had a very high chance of a flashfire going off and when that happened it would take a miracle for the boat to keep itself above water as EVERY GUN on the boat would flashfire if even one cooked off, each gun would would follow suit one at a time going from one side to the next along the whole ship. Which did make for a great visual as the boat could be sailing along with 14 huge pillars of fire if the guns cooked off fast enough. Other times, the guns are still firing as they're exploding

Tex "he's got 32 fires on board" by this point i think the boat is just made up of fire 🔥

The year is 1931, we have 16" guns at our disposal, but we still have steam steering on all our ships.

And...? The steering upgrades cripple your accuracy and tonnage, as well as your ability to recover from flooding. The only time I use Steering upgrades is when I'm making a fast boi boat.

I got a challenge for you for the next campaign. I call it the "Modern Naval Museum and Amusement Park" challenge. Basically, from the start of the campaign you designate one of your major ports as the Museum/Amusement Park port. Every lead ship of the class of all the classes you create gets put into that port and has it's crew reduced to 30-40%. These ships never leave port and never take part in battle. As they are museum ships they are never refit either. This is so you can help establish a great naval tradition and culture among your people as families from all around the country can come to this port and tour the ships over the years, take part in firing the guns, using the radios and flags to communicate with each other, and a multitude of other fun activities as they learn the history of each class of ship. If you survive long enough you'll have to have the ships built in a separate port and then steam them into the museum port. If you REALLY want to make it interesting you can also do the "No Refits allowed" challenege AND the "Lack of Naval Architects" challenge where you can only design new classes every 5 years. I did this with a German campaign and I found it rather fun. Good day to you sir.

If interested, you can send them a message asking to be included in the test, along with reasoning as to why you should. If picked, they'll send you a free Steam key to download the Beta. However, once the DLC goes live, said Steam key will expire, and you'll have to pay for the live version. All the pertinent details are on the Steam page for UAD.

Thank you Tex for explaining how subs work in this game. Also, thank you to everyone involved in making this series. Personally, I enjoy it when the editor cranks up the music during battle to give it a more dramatic feeling. Now for the campaign: I can only guess that the Brits have such well trained gunners after being forced into so many "target rich" battles throughout the world. XD

Looks like Historicly accurate Austria-Hungary to me.

One of the things I find helpful economically, is to make out what I call my merchant marine slider. Tech, and training are important, but getting your merchant marine maxed out as quickly as possible grows your economy at a pretty quick pace.

Snake Austria is not real, it cant hurt you Snake Austria! Seriously, looks like a regular EU4 Campaign going for some Shenanigans in Asia.

I think the Hapsburg is a fitting ship for the Austro-Hungarian empire. It's a ship hull that carries defects from multiple generations of refits, each making it less competitive and more of an expensive dead end.

“A very complex era filled with a lot of a-holes” So, any point in human history, then?

Max shipyard size isn't actually tied to your shipbuilding capacity. It only increases the size of the boats you can build, so there's no reason to increase it beyond super battleship size. Dockyard capacity is tied to growth, and can't be increased manually. Sorry for backseating Tex, but i only stumbled over this while fucking with the game files and i'm not sure if it's common knowledge. Anyways, love the series, it's ridiculous and amazing. Long live the Hapsburg!

@boobah5643

3 ай бұрын

Everything in the game suggests that shipbuilding capacity is increased by the same expenditure that boosts max ship size. The difference seems to be that max ship size doesn't change until you stop building it, while shipbuilding capacity increases while you continue to build it. Which is extra annoying because if you cancel an ordered shipyard build, you get to keep the partial max ship size you've already accrued.

With multiplayer being worked on, I want to see Tex and dep make stupid ships to reenact famous naval battles

Eh, DDs tend to be one-hit kills from BB main guns, and not much better against the secondaries. It's the cruisers that usually get close enough to torpedo with any sort of accuracy. Mind, it also helps if your BBs regularly make course changes, even if they're of the speed-up/slow down variety.
