[WIP]Playable PocketBB

I guess it is. Masking instead of enginering...your solution could work. :hmm:

About main guns, as all the guns in the game are playable, at least the main guns should be. I'm not talking about controlling all the guns at the same time. The stock game puts the player controlling one station every time as the one who fires (officer, gunner, sailor, etc). This means the player should control one turret at the same time while the others should remain AI controlled.

By the way it looks in the picture seems imposible to fire the main guns while in motion. If it's possibe sure isn't at full speed nor medium speed, and I bet the ship gets propelled backwards the line of fire (well, if it fires in the line of its propellers I supose only is pushed or reduce its speed. Look at the water due to this babe firepower:

The ship can fire at practicly any speed its moving at, the guns just dont have enough force to propel a 15000+ ton ship backwards enough, even sideways the waves would make the boat rock more then the cannons firing.

Speaking of torpedoes,it seems that many Japanese destroyer used the 61 cm/24 inch torpedoes.
In this site:

The most interesting part is the explosive charge,almost double of the normal G7 torpedo.The range...well,they could travel 20 km at 50 knots...
It would be a marvelous thing to add to an already marvelous mod.
I hope those information could be useful.
Keep up the good work Xantrokoles

EDIT: Ops,i've posted in the wrong thread....Sorry it was meant to be in the "Playable destroyer" thread

A lot of important things are still WIP... i have no direct connection with the modders that are working on it, so i cannot give you a precise date.
For sure the " Scheer Team " is working very hard. Give them time

I want to give a Date...
But Linekiller is right

Lots of things are work in progress and we want a good working mod
We got time

If not use my Fubuki class and tweak the guns:rotfl:
