Default Maddy.

If you take a look at pictures of the Battle of Leyte Gulf. In particular the pictures of the Gambier Bay during that fight. You will see what I mean about the shell splashes from the Battlewagon guns. They are emmence. Twice as high as the ship in the pictures. I think buy changing that it would be a real nice addition.

Edit #1 Actually the majority of the splashes seen in the photos seem to come from the CA Chokai. That is the particular cruiser credited with the sinking of the Gambier Bay. So if those are splashes from 8 inchers than I can just imagine what a splash from a 14, 16 or 18 inch shell would be like.

Thanks Mate for this nice informations.
I worked it out and it makes you scary when those shells comes down near your boat.

Pictures of that will follow.

In order to form more perfect shell splashes from the Battlewagon´s guns you can see here the result in another video.



I think its ok so with the splashes ?

It all looks pretty good to me. I especially like the splashes and the smoke. The only thing I would change is the muzzle flashes. The size and volume seem right, but they last too long. When you are looking at a BB from a distance it is hard to tell whether it is firing, or is being hit.
