[WIP] New Orleans class

Karle94 · 02-08-12, 05:19 PM

Since there has been some interest in playable heavy cruisers, I have decided to make some. The first is the New Orleans class. These were some tough ships as two of them survived the forward magazine detonating after being hit by the Long Lance.

I haven´t made the wartime refit yet, perhaps in the future. She comes with the 8"/55 caliber Mark 15 guns. These were mounted on the last pair of the New Orleans as well as the Wichita, Baltimore and Oregon City class. She also comes with the SG surface search radar and SK air search radar. Unlike my previous ships these won´t have independently operated barrels. All three act as one unit, like stock ships.

I am currently testing the ship and will post any results in the foresseable future. In the meantime, here`s some pictures so you know what to expect.

Management screen:

In-game:
With the same guns as the Northampton, the 8"/55 Mark 14.

Modified the stock 5"/25 and made a new AA gun of it

With the 8"/55 Mark 15 that´s going to be included in the game

SG (lower radar) and SK (upper radar)

Just gave her a spin at Samar. Here are the results:

It was definetly a Kongo that pu the last nail in the Minneapolis´ coffin. That hole is too huge for any cruiser and destroyers.

The ship will hold her own against anything the size of a heavy cruiser and smaller.

Very nice. These are some of my favorite WWII American cruisers, even though three were sunk in one battle.

I think I have a profile drawing of the class that you can use for the damage control screen - let me know if you want one.

Karle94, are you ever going to finish this ship?

miguelmmag · 02-18-12, 03:54 PM

Karle94 · 02-18-12, 04:02 PM

No and yes.

USS Drum · 02-18-12, 07:08 PM

That woul´t be possible. All the guns are 3 inch guns. Destroyers, hell yeah, light cruisers, yes, heavy cruisers, eh... carriers, nope. Battleships, ain´t no chance in hell.

You don't get it, I get the Yamato crew to get out of there ship then take pictures, then I jack Yamato and kill them.

Or you challenge them, and they die of laughter. Then you take the Yamato as a prize.
