Mission idea: Crisis in Agadir. The German Empire demands for compensations after the French started to send more forces in Morroco turns sour, and at everyone's surprise the United Kingdom decide to side with the German Empire in the argument. While none of their ships set sails, they break their alliance pact with France and Russia, leaving the Germans free to mobilize and threaten the country in a series of low intensity skirmishes across the border. At sea, the German Empire sends a fleet of fast new ships to enforce their demands and if possible sink the French convoys of troops to Agadir, and the French fleet sails out of their Atlantic ports to block them in the North Sea. German technology would be more modern due to the massive investment done in the past few years, and would be set around 1908-1910. Their fleet would consist of: - 2 Battlecruisers. - 5 Heavy cruisers. - 6 Destroyers. Their French adversaries would have a more massive fleet, but the lack of investment in that field after the alliance with the UK is hard to compensate. Their tech level would be 1900, and their fleet would be: - 3 Battleships. - 5 Heavy cruisers. - 3 Light cruisers. - 6 Destroyers/torpedo boats. You would design the German battlecruisers (that historically were thought more as pocket battleships than super cruisers, just because the more you know...) and will have to use that small bit of tech advantage over the French fleet to try and keep them at bay. The Battlecruisers need a speed of at least 31 knots, and the maximum budget for them is high. Since they're brand new and Germany have little experience in designing dreadnoughts, some choices of configurations are... interesting (pick either a side guns mount or another "strange" idea of naval architecture in them if possible). Starting positions would be 10.000 meters apart only, due to the poor weather of the North Sea (it's sad you cannot pick what weather you want to fight in game, would be a neat addition tbh) that made spotting harder for both the fleets. Victory conditions are to either scatter or destroy the enemy fleet, but more importantly to keep the BC alive, seeing as they are quite the costly investment and needs to be examined after the battle for improvement. Third time's the charm, and anyways any of your videos are good so keep them that way!

[@PaddyW_]

After playing yesterday a bit I noticed that the each propellant had its up and downsides. I almost always go for something else than high tnt if I don't get 18" guns because of the penetration "loss". Also the towers aren't always better if they are higher tier. Sometimes you have a tier 6 be better in nearly every way than the tier 8. If you got the time you could consider looking at those stats a bit more for min maxing the ships performance. The penetration thingy pops up if you hover over an enemies you have not focused with your camera (double clicked). For easier use, pause the game, move the camera a tiny bit and hover over the enemie you want to know the penchance from. And be careful with setting your guns at aggressive if you manually target. They will try and fire past their maximum range like in 37:30 this is then a complete waste of ammo if you can't hit the dd under any circumstances

[@ThePaulv12]

The best IMO was ballistite but the developers removed that from later ships. Ballistite was great because it has a +8.5% muzzle velocity which reallyu worked for extra heavy shells. The plunging fire at +28kms was absolutely devastating. One game I got a hit with a ranging shot at 35kms and blew the enemy up with one shot. Now White Powder is the best all round compromise - by far, since it gives you +.7.5% muzzle velocity increase and a lot of other benefits, such as great cost to performance ratio. That said with 18" guns I have found Liddite II with HE to be about the best for damage. When destroyers get to within 10kms and you switch the secondaries to 'aggressive' and the of the ships secondaries open up it seems to be about the best. Also the pen on the mains is really good with HE but the ships have to be under 20kms which is a bit close for comfort. Also if you have multiple targets under 10kms and say 3", 5" and 8' secondaries and you switch to agressive, the AI will prioritise 3" and 5" to the closest target[s] and the 8" will target the more distant. I think this only works after a ship has been sunk via the secondaries though. If you let it do its own thing the AI does a reasonable job on close in targets so long as you have a formidible array of varying gun calibers. I'm yet to run out of ammo on any gun under 8" so wasting isn't so much of a problem esp the 3" as I think there's like 25k of it LOL. I actually like the 3" a lot as any destroyer attack that get inside of 5kms has a hard time surviving if you have lots of 3". With Liddite the start lots of fires and gives the enemy a great deal of bother.

[@PaddyW_]

@@ThePaulv12 yea maybe they bring it back or add variants etc etc. This game is far from finished anyway. And my point with wasting ammo is not that you might run out, but that it's just a waste. It's more of a visual thing that game play but still it bothers me a bit that they fire into the ocean. Maybe in some patch there will be regulations that the behavior will be changed so guns won't fire past 25m of their max range. And stealth likes to select targets on his own (which I can understand) so there is way more micromanagement needed to keep all guns hitting stuff. And by the way nothing I said is critique to you Stealth, just tips and ideas :)

[@otteroftoast2616]

Here's a mission idea! You play as America VS. the British, one renowned for its damage control, and the other renowned for its armor. You're going to need that damage control because you will be designing a class of battleship, which will act as a brawler. Close range, tanking hits from every side, and gets up close to the enemy to break them in half with pounding close-range volleys. You'll be escorted by two other battleships and face 2 battlecruisers, 5 heavy cruisers, 5 light cruisers, and two destroyers. I've always wondered how close-range battles would or could be fought by these kinds of ships. A lot of people say it's impractical so I want to see how you take on such a challenge!

The AI is just so inconsistent in this game. The devs need to improve it a lot before they can even consider releasing it - especially the random "no shoot torps/arbitrarily retreat". There should be options when setting up a battle to control these things. Stealth, you need to stop trying HE shells against BBs. HE is only going to do anything if it pens, and that's not gonna happen with a BB's armour.

[@HappyGM-R]

I don’t think you should use dual barrel even if they have higher accuracy. Remember the triple has an additional barrel so it basically will have more chance to hit as you are firing one more extra shell. After 10 salvos it will be 10 extra shell so it could potentially end up as few extra hits including other secondaries you have included.

[@Robert53area]

Double barrel has faster rate of fire over triple barrels.

[@HappyGM-R]

robert goodman can I get the statistics so I can calculate to see which one is better?

[@HappyGM-R]

robert goodman actually I just checked my self and the answer is yes it does have a faster reload speed of only one second. So if you give 1 min of time double will shoot 5 times and triple will fire 4.5 times. And if you do quick maths that will be 10 shots from the double and a minimum of 12 shots by the triple. Therefore triple will 100% have an advantage over double.

[@HappyGM-R]

robert goodman and by the way the chance for a double to hit in 1 min is about 82% but for a triple it is about 86.45(might be wrong didn’t use a calculator) so you should definitely take triple unless you are worried about ammunition storage on a SUPER battleship like this one.

[@HappyGM-R]

No actually it is 94.8% for a TRIPLE to hit in 1 min so no matter what you should take triple if possible.

[@tankfighter7059]

[@Nutty31313]

Haven't finished watching, but during building I notice that you say "13 inches of armour...that means I'll never be able to completely negate that amount of pen" (paraphrased to say what I think you meant). You forgot about armour quality, which for you is +118%. To negate 13" of penetration at 25km you only need your *belt* to be 6" thick, the *deck* penetration at 25km was almost 28". With 11.5" belt and deck the effective thickness including armour quality is 25". This means you should be staying at 16-23km from battleships/battlecruisers during the battle (assuming they use mark 5 16" guns with super heavy high TNT shells) as under about 16km your belt will get penetrated and over about 23km your deck will get penetrated. If they however get the same guns as you are using (unlikely as you have the tech advantage) your ship will get penetrated at any range, and only angling will help you. Edit: at 37:58 it looks like the B turret and possibly also the A turret aren't quite aiming at the target, so the ship doesn't fire the salvo.

Is Armor Scheme actually taken into account as part of the construction OR is the game using it as flat bonus as other parts?

Scenario: Thunder in the South Atlantic Alternate history where the American Independence from the British Empire happens during the Great War. A British transport flotilla of 15, escorted by 2 post-Dreadnought era Battleships and 2 Destroyers, is ambushed by a raiding party of more advanced and more numerous Heavy and Light US Cruisers, 3 CA and 6 CL. Take command of either the British, constructing the older empire cruising Battleships (Long range minimum, 1910 tech) or the modern US Atlantic raiding flotilla, constructing the CA (Medium range, 1915 tech). The historical records of this battle will put initial manoeuvres beginning at a distance of 15km, to allow positioning and such. If you choose Britain, the transports survival is top priority, loosing any more than 6 will severely damage production efforts. In addition to that loosing the Battleships will also be heavy blow so they must also survive. If you choose America either the Battleships or Transports are your target, destroying both BBs is or sinking 9 transports is your victory condition. Do not take this mission lightly however, the ships under your command represent a massive technological and financial investment and their loss will reflect on you poorly, loosing any more than 6 ships or all 3 Heavy Cruisers will be considered a loss. Whichever side you choose, good luck. PS: I don't actually have this game, so if you feel like any of these constrictions need adjusting to have a more balanced game (outside of tech and ranges) I will not take it as a slight, I just want a smaller older but heavier escort force taking on a lighter but newer raiding force.

I have an idea, and a couple of titles for an episode, either: David(s) vs. Goliath, or: The Charge of the Light Brigade! (There was a Brit BB named: Goliath I believe, and for the latter title, maybe you could have British TB's attacking a Russian BB? That would really mimic the real event, since the British light cavalry actually reached the guns, albeit briefly! I watched where you attack a Dreadnaught BB with torpedo boats. One episode was with one top-of-the-line TB with 5 single launchers, and the other with two TBs. What you have not yet tried was to swarm the BB. In short, use numbers and different tactics, and expect plenty of losses! Put simply, make 5-7 TB's, as small, simple and cheap as possible, with only a single gun on the front, and a single torpedo on the rear. Make them reasonably fast, but you want numbers, not quality. In short, a simple bridge, fast, but not blazing fast (you might have to chase the BB), cheap propulsion, a full set of funnels, cheapest possible pop-gun up front, and a single cheap torpedo astern. Best possible reload time, but not at the expense of money or tonnage. Even consider a smaller diameter cheaper, slower torpedo, since only a few will do the trick and you will be firing from short range. Remember, the smaller the boat the better, this will reduce their target size and thus the chance to be hit. The difficulty here is twofold. First, you must close the range, so speed will help with this and it will also lessen the time spent under fire. Second, you will have to break the line-ahead 'division' idea almost immediately, and send all of them directly at the BB, aiming ahead of the beast so that they all close up on him. This means a lot of micromanaging of 5-7 TBs, but you can go full speed ahead, and just go up and down the line making small zig-zag corrections to each TB as you pass down the line. First 'zig' all the TBs in succession, then go back quickly, run down the line and 'zag' all the boats. Rinse and repeat all over again. Another valuable tactic, especially once you approach the 1km line where the accuracy of secondary fire, even from case-mate guns becomes excellent, is to have one of the TB's launch its torpedo, and then immediately go into a doughnut while it reloads. The BB will have to turn to evade that torpedo, and this will throw off the aim of the BB's guns while it is turning. Meanwhile, the rest of your boats will be closing. Ideally you stagger your timing of launches, so that reloads will come on board in an even fashion. Eventually, you will outmaneuver the BB and be able to hit him from multiple angles... at least that is the plan! It will be fun also, to see if the game rations out the secondaries across all of the TBs as they close on the BB, or if it can only select one at a time. If the latter, you should succeed every time!

So, I have no clue how the game calculates for armour but from what I've understood, your deck armour only needs to have a theoretical strength to withstands plunging fire coming from about 45 degrees, i.e. maximum ballistic trajectory, which the range closing in, the relative thickness of the deck armour goes up making the belt armour much more important.

[@neurofiedyamato8763]

Good point, but in a ideal kinematic formula, it will be 45 degrees, but in the real world it tends to be a little less angled(relative to deck) due to drag forces and other factors. No idea how that is done in game though. Also some guns IRL have high angle and could theoretically fire like a mortar albeit I don't know of any historical instance this was done and doubt this will ever get modeled in the first place.

[@pedrocruz1003]

that is actually USS montana only have 16 inch which make it light and fast ( well not really I think ? )

[@RaphlCopter]

Question for Stealth: When it comes to armor thickness, don't you have to account for the Krupp IV value? You had "+118% armor quality", doesn't that mean your armor is basically over twice as "thick"? Because in a different video you were confused how the enemy had 15.6 inches of armor when it said "armor: 1.5 - 7.8 inches" on the enemy's ship. Am I misunderstanding this or are you not aware of it?

[@Stealth17Gaming]

I think this was one of the vids where I was still confused about it. The devs confirmed that 15 inch + 118% means 32,7 inch armor.

Scenario here... Build a US battleship designed to absorb damage but also has multi-caliber guns. Needs at least have one of each turret ranging from 20" to 14" mains and torpedoes in underwater, double, triple and quint then the rest of the armaments is just pick n choose. Maximum bulkheads and displacement, no range and whatever speed you feel safe with... My best build took damage from 58 torpedoes and 3,872 dmg from 13,000+ shells that hit it. US 🇺🇸 1930 Battleship VS Russia 🇷🇺 1940 full battle group

[@Zenoviax_DFSOU]

Am i the only one who thinks that Dual guns just look better on most ships? Maybe thats just the German side of me talking but they really are just good to look at. Am I the only one?

great fight. impressive win.

Why does this game allow boilers on a ship with diesel engines, do they actually do anything?

[@Anonymous-qk3qn]

can you get AA guns in this game?

[@juliancate7089]

It would help if you actually devoted a bit to evasive maneuvering, like changing speed when the BC fired, slight changes in heading immediately after he fires and again after the salvo strikes the water. But your tactic should have been to charge him and hope the AI doesn't retreat, or the other tactic to use would have been to sail directly away from the BC and draw him toward you and away from BB support, and then turn on him in a full charge.

[@Tinywars]

This is awesome. I am sick to death of World of Warships and I've been looking for an alternative. They need to release this on Steam.

[@Stealth17Gaming]

They will, once it's ready.

Mission idea: 1 Japanese super Destroyer (1940) vs 3 or more USN Battleships (1930 or 1935)

[@williamlynch4006]

Is the final game going to be just US and IJN or will there be options for other navies as well?

[@Stealth17Gaming]

There are already way more nations

[@williamlynch4006]

@@Stealth17Gaming Thank you

[@americantttefan4745]

Alright, I'm planning on getting the game, so I want to ask if when designing a battleship, are international aspects, such as hulls and towers, interchangable? Such as an American vessel with a Bismarck-style hull?

[@Stealth17Gaming]

There are some national flavors when it comes to design and look. Don't think you can make an American designed German battleship as you put it.

[@americantttefan4745]

@@Stealth17Gaming I see. Well, I have a series of Polish warship designs in mind. For the time being, I'll rely on whichever navy's design aspects look closest, though I will give the developer some feedback on it, as I think there are a lot of ways it can be taken. I mean, a lot of the guns are already allowed to be shared. I think the American battleships in this video had German gun turrets on the main battery by their shape.

[@Exilninja]

The uploader is kinda incorrect, OP. When designing a ship in custom battles, you can choose an option called "unlock", which allows you to use the hulls and superstructures from other nations. You can't "splice" ships together, though, the hulls and towers/funnels will be the design specific to the ship, but the gun models and technology will still be nation-dependent, so you can build a German battleship with American guns, for example.

yo the name of that ship is the state i am from by the way good design vary beautiful ship keep up the good work man

My Idea is to be France Tech 1920 2 Battleships 3 Heavy cruisers 5 Light cruisers 8 Destroyers Enemy Spain Tech 1900 2 Battleships 1 Battle Cruiser 2 Heavy cruisers 4 light Cruisers 8 Destroyers Objective As a Punitive Mesure against Spanish Adventurism destroy all capital ships Loss Conditions Losing a Battleship Losing all Destroyers Hopefully its challenging.

My grandpa was in the navy, wasn't on a warship just a cargo ship bit at so e point his ship did get chased down by a sub.

Why not more WWI stuff in general (just not pseudo-jutlands)? A hypothetic open battle between italy and Austria-H (Tegethoffs vs Dorias), a goeben-like modern battlecruiser joyriding against russian early dreadnoughts and pre-dreadnoughts, brawls between the earliest dreadnoughts and the better ships approaching 1914 between whomever, treaty ship battles, a modernized old lady from WWI (something like the warspite) against state of the art but smaller 1940 ships(scharnhorst?)... anything but pure WW2 tech for your next foray, pretty please?

[@JonTTu111]

OFC the BC is able to hit you, because you have something like 150% accuracy modifier. You're a big slow target.

This kind of custom battle is the best

So for some people who watch drachinifel this is sort of Tillman 1 the Tillman line was where it’s basically the biggest and best battleships the us could make at the time they are ridiculous

[@sinhangso5107]

I still can't get the idea. What does the "Range" affect the gun? Accuracy?

[@timhurl1514]

Sin Hang So how far it can EFFECTIVELY fire

[@timhurl1514]

Sin Hang So like a pistol would have an EFFECTIVE range of, let's say for example, 30 meters, any beyond that, the round starts to suffer the effects of air resistance and gravity

[@timhurl1514]

I know that's probably wrong but it still gets the idea across

No, just the AI derping around I think.

United states vs japan alt history Operation ten go. You are to build two battlecruisers and face off against 1 battleship, 8 destroyers, and one light cruiser. You have an inf amount of capital to make your two battlecruisers but they cant have a caliber of gun larger than 357mm.

[@CarMADforever]

When you complaining about the bug of the guns not firing, the ship was waiting for all the guns to swing into line. Looks like the A turret had had to go through a larger traverse to get back to where it needed to be.
