I have a question about torpedoes, when you fire them, does each torpedo get its own targeting roll/hit different sections of the enemy ship?

Torpedoes also draw from their own personal internal magazine, right? They dont rely on your AmmoMag?

Fire Main Battery and all Secondary Batteries at SMS Turtle.

Torpedo aiming is dependent on your ship's own rangefinding, right? Accuracy will climb with successive turns?

RN Overgrown Torpedo Boat vs SMS Turtle:
DC2 Main: 6-2 = 4 < 5, miss!
DC3 Secondary: 4-2 = 2 < 5, miss!
DC4 Secondary: 1-2 = -1 < 5, miss!
DC5 Secondary: 3-2 = 1 < 5, miss!

The opening salvo was, unsuprisingly, a whole bunch of missed shots.

Evasive maneuvers AND all secondary guns? You're wasting shells, freeman.  Those aren't cheap!

Considering how it's more beneficial to have large numbers of cheap ships rather than a few big ships, what do you think of making bigger ships more viable?  Maybe in addition to being easier to hit, the larger size provides a +1 accuracy bonus from being a more stable platform? Or make the larger hulls slightly cheaper?

More rapid growth in hitpoints, restriction of larger weapons to larger vessels, resistance of larger vessels to low-caliber underwater hits (it makes zero sense, for instance, for a secondary-caliber shell to penetrate far enough into the water that it can enter an underwater section of a dreadnought), or addition of some form of "topweight" system to restrict silly things like armored cruisers with four battleship guns and an armored bridgework not rolling over and sinking whenever they fire a gun off the sides/tearing themselves to pieces with the strain of firing multiple large weapons on a small hull.

Ye, the game is in need for an overhaul. Probably will have to change the resource costs for ships as well endow the bigger ships with more HP/hardpoints and compartments. It also means this is the last battle before the game goes on a (hopefully short) hiatus.


RN Freedom II vs SMS Turtle:
DC2 Secondary: 4+1-1-2-1 = 1 < 5, miss!
DC4 Secondary: 2+1-1-2-1 = -1 < 5, miss!
DC5 Secondary: 5+1-1-2-1 = 2 < 5, miss!

A salvo of watery splashes!

Oh wow, Kashyyk, I can't believe you missed twice! How unlucky.

Evasive Manuevers.  Fire only the DC2 Secondary at the Explodable, because shells are expensive.

Is there actually a money mechanic now? Or is this flavor text? I’m guessing flavor text, but it’s good to be sure

SMS Explodable vs RN Freedom II:
DC4 Tertiary: 2+1-2-1 = 0 < 5, miss!
DC5 Tertiary: 6+1-2-1 = 4 < 5, miss!

Double splash!

RN Virtually Sunk Already vs SMS Explodable:
DC2 Secondary: 4+1-1-2-1 = 1 < 5, miss!

And a third!
