Ultimate Admiral Dreadnoughts - Sinking The Deathstar

What I learned from Star Wars was that all you need is one well placed torpedo. I suppose the Novgorod's designers were smart enough to remove the exhaust ports though.

[@glauberglousger6643]

[@megan00b8]

I'd like to imagine, that the Novgorod was going back to dock for repairs, and all these attempts that the brits have done were on the same ship. To be fair I'm sure the Russians had no issues repairing it in the time that the British made another five battlecruisers and whatnot.

[@twinkiephobe2915]

Sinking that ship would make a good taskmaster challenge. Could be interesting with a variety of restrictions. Examples; A single ship with unlimited budget, Any number of ships but 150'000'000 budget. Or less. Or 5 destroyers etc.

Lol stealth: makes a ship that weighs over 20,000 tons more than the Iowa class go 16 kns faster than the Iowa class. Also stealth: Omg why are these speed boat battle cruisers so expensive? One of the fastest destroyers the Gridley-class in this era could only manage 42.8 knots.

[@footballh8r]

My God, the stress of watching the mishandling of those BCs lol. He kept sailing them line abreast parallel to the enemy when they're armed with torpedoes and then getting mad at them for not firing and for getting in each other's way. Stealth is definitely a better UA: Dreadnoughts player than me, but he really did way worse in that battle than he should of because he refused to split up the task force and catch the Novgorod in a torp crossfire, which also made it easier for the Novgorod to switch between targets

[@footballh8r]

@@maxs.2924 no, I definitely meant BC. He started out with the TB swarm, sure, and that was also a mess, but the mishandling of the battle cruisers in the two battles he fought with those was far worse because trying to control 25 ships in one battle is always going to be a mess, but he very clearly could have done better with the battle cruisers by not grouping them up like he did and continually sailing them line abreast in a manner where they blocked each other from firing. Not sure why you felt the need to try to correct somebody in this case, but you do you random KZbin commenter

[@JosiahSum1Wallis]

the Russian Launch the Novgorod 2: it has 2 nine inch guns, and as many 24in torps as it can fit. Also I think you played that last battle poorly (out of fear I think), you kept all your ships heading the same way blocking each other, they had torps on all sides, split and cross-torp with 3 ships on each side.

[@lumpusmaximus8257]

And an anti-torpedo belt of at least 3

[@stevequerin2504]

01:26 My preferred Torpedo Boat Design (regardless of Year) is a Superfast Vessel with the Torpedo Attack in the Bow Forward Arc. I wouldn't have a Gun Mount on my Torpedo Boat; but, since having a Gun Mounted unto the Torpedo Boat is required by ULTIMATE ADMIRAL: DREADNOUGHTS, my Gun Placement would be on the Stern for Kiting as the Torpedo Boat flees from the Enemy Warships. ¿Can Torpedo Boats have Underwater Torpedo Tubes? I have seen a Hull that had a Bow Torpedo Tube Structure between the Main Deck and the Hull Waterline. -- ¿Can that Bow Tube Mount be utilized within ULTIMATE ADMIRAL: DREADNOUGHTS? Generally, I would put the Torpedo Tube on the Bow Gun Mount; but, having Side Mounted Torpedo Tubes is also desirable. 02:09 I think Long-Range Torpedoes would be most desirable to reduce the amount of Depth the Torpedo Boat has to enter the Enemy Gun Range in order to make a Torpedo Attack. 03:08 Removing the Aft Torpedo Tube would reduce the Aft Weight Off-Set; but, you wouldn't have a Kiting Attack Weapon System. ¿What is the Weight Difference between the Aft Torpedo Tube and the Bow 2-Inch Gun? -- Switching the two may improve the Weight Off-Set Balance. Increasing the Gun Size, and/or Increasing the Ammunition Load, may balance out the Weight Off-Set. 03:21 Actually, that does look like a workable Torpedo Boat Design for the ULTIMATE ADMIRAL: DREADNOUGHTS Game System. 04:12 ¿You made another Circular Battleship Design? Yea...25-Inch Armor Belt is a bit too much. Reduce it to improve Deck Armor. Your Battleships tend to get easily sunk because of Poor Deck Armor Protection. But, in this Scenario, Deck Armor won't be an issue. 04:18 KZbinr godspeedthunder would disband all Divisions and have each Warship operate individually; although, he would have them operate in a Simulated Division via Follow Command; while, taking control of One Vessel as his own Personal Warship. Me...I would disband All Divisions; and, have the Torpedo Boats End Masse at the Enemy Warship. Bow Facing Long-Range Torpedoes would prove most beneficial at this time. I am also a Micromanager when it comes to Computerized Miniature Warfare Game Systems like ULTIMATE ADMIRAL: DREADNOUGHTS and COMMAND & CONQUER: RED ALERT and RISE OF NATIONS (a CIVILIZATIONS knock-off). 05:35 Change Division Formation from Inline to Broadside -- godspeedthunder Tactic. 06:16 -- Turkey Shoot -- Shooting Fish In A Barrel -- Setting Them Up And Knocking Them Down -- Killing Them Off One At A Time In A Line 07:57 Whatever 09:56 That is Bow Tubes facing Forward and Strength Tubes facing Rearward. 12:07 Wow...Mushashi and Yamato 13:17 Well...That is the Beam Benefit for such a Wide Warship Design. -- Counter-Flooding ... ¿What is that? 13:56 The reason that your Torpedo Boats and Destroyers are getting pummeled is because you don't have other Warship Types with Heavier Gun Sizes targeting the Enemy Warship; and, the Enemy Warship will need to choose between the Torpedo Threat and The Big Gun Threat; which, isn't happening right now, and hasn't happened yet in this Video. 14:20 ¿Is that Narrow Spread; or, Wide Spread? That's Right...ULTIMATE ADMIRAL: DREADNOUGHTS doesn't let you choose between Narrow Torpedo Spread and Wide Torpedo Spread. 14:49 Battlecruisers -- ROFL 17:27 Armor Scheme -- !!! DECK ARMOR !!! -- unless your Scenario Spawns within Torpedo Range 17:36 Turning Rate for Portside & Starboardside Torpedo Attacks is good thinking. 17:40 Torpedoes are Important. Combat Range is relevant for attacking with Torpedoes. Long-Range Torpedoes on Torpedo Boats with Short-Range Torpedoes on Battleships mean that your Battleships will be using Main Guns and Secondary Guns as their Primary Attack Method; while, Torpedo Boats try to get within Enemy Warship Gun Range unhindered due to the Enemy Warships attacking your Battleships; and, if your Battleships do get within their Torpedo Range of the Enemy Warships..."Say 'Hello' to my Little Friends -- BB Torpedoes.". 19:22 FIRST OFF Two Warships...Two Different Sailing Trajectories...one Portside to Enemy Warship...one Starboardside to Enemy Warship Maintain a Steady Course at an Angle that the Torpedoes can be launched (45° to 90° of Ship Movement Direction); then, after Torpedo Launch change direction. 20:14 ¿49 Knot Battlecruiser? ¿How fast are your Torpedoes? You don't want your Torpedo Platform outswimming your Torpedoes. Also, I believe that there is a Speed Limit for launching Torpedoes; although, Higher Speeds may mean Longer Targeting Period for Launching Torpedoes. 20:56 She stayed on a Steady Course while you were bobbing and weaving the other Battlecruiser. 22:52 !!! DECK ARMOR !!! 25:09 !!! HARD TO PORT !!! For Torpedo Attack !!! 26:14 It launch Starboard Torpedoes 27:00 Micromanagement Skill Level Required 28:17 Strength In Numbers works when one Lacks Combat Skill

So we’ve seen the circle ship and the floating skyscraper, now it’s time for the 8 mile long battle toothpick assuming you can edit the save files to make the top displacement slider go further and make the longest ship possible

[@megan00b8]

I don't believe that's currently possible. This crazyness is only an option because beam and draft increase the top capacity of the displacement, not just the value of displacement, so if you've edited the ship in files to have higher displacement it would just say its overweight.

Ships manoeuvring wildly are much less likely to launch torps. You have to hold your breath and put them on a steady course so they can aim.

I don’t think ww2 torpedos could even sink something with 300,000 tonnes displacement. Because it can only damage the exterior armour and bulkheads. The internal sections of the ship would be completely impervious. Once the outer compartments are flooded; the torpedo protection would be even better.

What about 500% draft and beam?

[@chainsaw242]

I wonder how many transports / torpedo boats / destroyers one of your 500 torp cruisers could take out... I think perhaps you are favoring the kind of lead you need for guns instead of what is required for torpedoes. With the donut of death moving at 20 knots torps requires a lot more angle. While you were broadside to where the target was you weren't broadside to where she will be when the torpedoes get there which is the facing the torps need to dump and run. That's easy to say from my armchair though! It's your armada Admiral.

I've had a lot of success with ramming so you could try the "100,000 ton torpedo" strategy. BB hull with max speed, towers in the back Rodney-style but 24" fast torpedo launchers instead or turrets. Remaining tonnage used on belt armor especially fore belt. Balanced rudder for better loss of speed reduction. Coming straight at the target will increase the effect of the fore belt armor and the speed will make it harder to hit. Hold torpedoes until point blank range of less than 500 meters so that they all hit. Follow the path of the torpedoes to the target. Profit? Edit: Plus, sinking ships will still to ramming damage
