i cant wait for there to be an enemy to duel with ! - i would like to go up against some of the british ships from the battle of North Cape ultimately


- remind me again will you also make other German ships too some destroyers and cruisers like Hipper and Prinz Eugen maybe?

Thanks!


Yes, the cruiser that I sank was actually a Town-class (like Hms Belfast from North Cape).
Maybe it's time to build a KGV-class ship


Yes, the intention is definitly to have German AI ships to work together with.
Ranging from Bismarck-class down to escorting destroyers as well as u-boats and airplanes.
I have a simple code for a Deutschland-class ship following orders, but it needs alot of refining to be reliable.

I would really like you to try out this version! So as soon as possible.
Sadly I cannot set a date, but I'm working on it!

Hey!


I have been working on a fire control computer and finally solved the maths!!
It has been interesting to program a computer inside the gameworld to calculate my own ingame distances and speeds.
The hardest part was to not use too precise vector functions but use a more "mechanical" kind of code too simulate the computer.


Now I got tired of math for this week, so I worked on some estethics instead!

thankyou for this post - that is very intersting- i wish i knew how to program games myself so i could better understand the complexity of what you are describing - how do you even do that?

Hey!


I uploaded a "free roam" demo on patreon instead, so you can check all the angles you need!

Bear in mind, it is still missing plenty of details, textures and objects like boats, light guns, spotlights and cables.
Loading time is still long...
But performance should be excellent!

https://www.patreon.com/battleshipcommand
Use Q and E buttons to fly :-) Hold shift to speed up a little, hold shift + ctrl to speed up more.

I have programmed the computer as a "layer" on top of the game-engine, for many reasons.
First of all, it's easy to make it malfunction incase of damage from enemy shells.
And I can remove some precision, to make it feel mechanical instead of adding random errors.
For example I could use the exact 3d-world XYZ-positions to aim the guns precisly at the plotted spot, but I have instead written all the calculations into a few steps, so I could add in errors in the different steps (for example battle fatigue or damage to some part of the system).
I will demonstrate the system soon enough!

Arrgh, I was a bit too fast to compile it. Sorry!

Now it should be fixed. You can download the pack again or just the exe and replace it. The exe is renamed to "BattleshipCommandFreeRoam.exe".


Yes, I thought it would be more helpful to you than screenshots!
Hope it works now!
