To find drawings of the ships of the period of Civil war very difficultly. In archives almost nothing was kept. Therefore some ships in game it is the generalized image. For example, we wished to make model of ironclad CSS Stonewall. Workers of Official Civil War Naval Museum have lead for us the true detective investigation. It was found out, that drawings of this ship were not kept. The similar ship now is in a museum in Holland, but it very strongly differs from CSS Stonewall.
The ships perished from floodings everywhere and always. In real history the USA had a Navy, but Confederation was not. At least the ratio of forces was such, that sea battles were not.
All is very simple. The ships are not divided into compartments, capacity of pumps weak. The shell punches a board of the ship. Through a hole water flows. If it is not enough holes, the pump pumps out water. If it is a lot of holes that the ship starts to plunge into water. All system in game has been created in cooperation with military ship builders on the basis of the general theory of shipbuilding. All pays off under formulas which are used at construction of the presents the ship and guns.
