JESUS CHRIST

Can I turn down turret range for balancing? they are firing from 10k away, maybe 1 or 2k, as they are turrets?

ho man

 

looks fun XD

The escort fleet dosent stand chance. the drones are to spread out to individually destroy, and for some unknown reason I equipped the speedboats with Air-to-Ground missiles intstead of Ground-to-Air. I can upload the video now, or I could rebuild my fleet with better weapons and try again? (also I agree with you about the half part count limit on planes)

Edit: I also now have PTSD

Upload the video if you want, just for fun

It won't count as an official victory though, until the part limits and such have been refined. We can run more battles with other people and come up with a better system

EDIT: I have updated the rules to include the half part count limit thingy on planes.

Ive got an idea. You could set up "scenarios" for example, escorting a ship through that specific area being attacked. Both sides could take turns being attacked and defending, so you can test your ships in different situations.

Yes, that's a good idea. I was also thinking we should draw up some rules for port defence, as you mentioned previously. There's an area close to the KSC (a bit to the north) that has some pretty cool bays and passages/islands. There's even one canal that's so shallow that even patrol boats wreck their hulls when passing by

 Lol was it that bad?

A minute and twenty - they shot down the missiles???

Edited November 19, 2017 by Earthlinger

[MiffedStarfish]

yup. all of them. with 24 50.cal turrrets theres pretty much nothing you can't shoot down.

[Piatzin]

Wow.

I need to work on some rules for this lol...

EDIT: @MiffedStarfish if you want, you can rerun the scenario but as a blockade sort of battle. A single one of my missile destroyers can block the passage, and your ships can engage it in combat.

I'm also going to see if I can come up with some sort of corvette tomorrow. I can probably host some small scale battles with you or someone else's ships.

bysevere lag, i mean like 12 fps at normal, and slows to like 2 fps for a few seconds if something big blows up

That's odd. I've mounted four Goalkeeper CIWS's on a plane, and they couldn't shoot down even a single missile. Does it have something to do with traverse speed?

Goalkeepers on planes??

Four of them??

Show me this plane lol

Have you tried placing ammunition boxes?

@drtricky

It might just be that Goalkeepers are configured/optimized for stationary or slow moving craft, and when they're mounted on planes, the aiming is messed up. It could also be the orientation they're placed in. Idk

I ran the blockade, and the MMC-4B pewpewed the destroyer before any motorboats got in range.

Man, my ships sure do have unfitting names lol. I think I may just concentrate on patrol craft. They make my computer lag less, too

[drtricky]

Would you guys consider a waterlogged airplane a ship?

If it can fly, then no, it would not classify as a ship. But you can still use it in the battles as a plane. (planes are now allowed). Give us some pictures

Whoa

Yeah, we could definitely hold a battle with a 300 part budget between it and a ship

I can strip it down to focus it more on anti-ship fighting... and also reduce part count so it won't be so laggy.

Sure. Unfortunately, I cannot host anything at the moment, due to my computer's performance and lack of time, so it would have to be you or someone else. You can check the previous posts for ships and find one to go up against

[Sidestrafe2462]

hey, can we revise the rules a bit, like increasing the part limit for ships to 1000 for captital ships like superdreads and carriers? 2: we need to increase part count limit for the fleet fights, i can handle up to 1600 for sure and maybe up to 2000 parts and im willing to host some fights

also on the half part rule, really :c that eliminates most of my heavy firepower because while im using very good ground-attack craft they a re high part count and 2 planes will not do anything good vs a battleship

I feel you.
