One thing I want to point out looking at your videos, I know this is an early testing stage, but the ship reacts too quickly to rudder, telegraph, etc. Those ships had a huge inertia, and you had to anticipate a lot any order. They even had to stop thrust miles away from the destination, so as not to run aground.

I agree on both points!
Yes, there shall be alot of activities to do onboard, even when just travelling from A to B.
Yes, at the moment 'shaft rpms' = 'ship speed', and neither the latency of the orders, delay in increasing steam or actual accelration in the water is counted in.
But they will be there and match the facts about how it really performed I can find.

How are things going?

Hi Hitman!
It's going well I would say! Currently on vacation, so I cannot take any screencap for you.
The biggest milestones since last time is a major improvement in how enemies fire at you. I've built a few new interfaces to get rid of my debug-panel. And modelled and implemented the compass and rudder controls in the helmstation according to video photage of the Scharnhorst and Gneisenau.
Cheers

Here's some wip stuff!

Not a nice situation, luckily they still need a better torpedo run routine.

I have a wall of flak for them.

Here's the swordfish planes in action!
Their torpedo runs are working dangerously well.
Please ignore the crappy plane and ship models, it's one of the last things I will work on.

Cheers!
