I am still testing the ships and adjusting the number of AA guns. Iowa has 86, SoDak has 73, originally she was to have 90, but then I thought, how can the SoDak have more AA guns than the Iowa. So I removed some aft of the number three 16 inch turret. Oh, I have cracked the DP gun issue for playable ships. I have experimented with having half of the 5"/38 turrets be AA guns, the rest anti-ship guns. It works, but you loose some firepower in both air and surface attack. Just now, I had an epithany, why don`t I make one wpn_controller for the anti-ship, then have one for anti-air, but keep everything identical, except the type. At first I was excpecting the game to crash, or everything would blow up in my face. I fire at ships, the turrets turn and fire. Then I went to Japan, they sent a Betty after me, so I ordered my crew to fire at it. The moment of truth; the 5 inch turrets turn and shoot at the plane. I was so happy, now you can easily blow up any plane as they get close, even the H8K which usually takes a lot to bring down.

I have updated the Montana. I have added the SK-2 radar and the 5"/54 Mark 16. Extra AA guns have also been added.







I have also redesigned both the 16"/45 Mark 6 and the 16"/50 Mark 7. I am going to redesign the 12"/50 Mark 8 on the Alaska.

FYI, you owe me big time for the Alaska! Guess there`s maximum 25% survival chance against the Montana with torpedoes.

Right now its 0% every time i got within 8500m i imploded by hits. No matter how i manouvered it simply removed me from the surface. That i actualy got away with half a ship is pure luck.....

So where are the Takaos limit. well its name is Montana....holy cow an awsome ship.....

awsome work Karle. You are providing me with alot of fun

The release date has not been set. I am currently concentrating on the New Orleans class.

[Karle94]

Here`s a little update on the New Orleans class



USS Astoria, USS Minneapolis and USS San Francisco:







USS New Orleans, USS Tuscaloosa, USS Quincy and USS Vincennes:



Note the removal of the lower deck on the bridge, which has been replaced by a simple platform with 4 20mm AA guns. Additional 2 20mm AA guns on aft platform.


USS New Orleans, USS Minneapolis, USS Tuscaloosa, USS San Francisco refits:



Note the different superstructure, the removal of one crane and one catapult, additional AA guns and repositioned radars.

Nice work, as always Karl, looking forward to these new ships. By the way, I watched your video out on youtube of the Alaska taking on two Takao class cruisers. It was really good, just had one question. What were the Takao's firing their AA guns at? I have never experianced that kind of behavour in a surface engagment, unless they were being attacked by aircraft as well. Just curious.

Ai ships often shoots at enemy ships with their AA guns, even though it does absolutely do damage whatsoever.

well, the ship´s not bad, but i think your fleet would look even better if you`d textured it properly

Awesome work since my absence

H39's secondary artillery work only against airplanes? i never seen that turrets moving or firing against ships, and your's is powerful unit usable in Operation Monsun And why you're abandon the blog, is easier to follow there evolution of every unit
