@@arrowknee7356 Pretty much but Sseth's point even if intended as a joke has implications. Had there been enough lifeboats and someone calm in charge, almost no one would have died. Had there been NO lifeboats, there wouldn't have been any disorder caused by fighting over what few lifeboats were there, so someone would have had to think of something and they were on a ship made out of sea-worthy boat material/flesh

They're outnumbered, the Ukrainians have better technology and Russia is still winning. Also Russia lost 3 generals, and even those are unconfirmed, except for one, whose tank got blown up.

i heard somewhere that if you destroy the escape pods mid combat you wont have to worry about losing kindness by not rescuing afterwards im sure the person who told me was a perfectly sane individual with a perfectly intact moral compass
Not if you use cheap decoys so they waste all their nukes, fly straight for the capital then proceed to murder their leader during negotiations and nuke their city and fleet, GG easy win
Jokes on you, end of the game reverses that and you'll end up with more nukes then you'll know what to do with them. However, the enemy also gets nuke happy. What was stopping them was the idea that you're small enough to be dealt with conventionally, and the fact that there is an uneasy peace among the public. If they launch first it'd be enough that people might get frustrated enough that they'll start rising up against the rebels; which is why the other Tarks are just lying in wait as they don't wanna be That Guy that made the first move and started the next Great War. Once you reach the main power plant; the one talked about in your mission statement from your glorious leader, you get to defend the power plant as the rebels try to retake it and likely blame you for the subsequent nuclear disaster from the damaged plutonium reactor. They have zero problems firing any nuclear warhead at the plant; and even if you destroy a nuke at that range to protect yourself the subsequent shockwave will destroy that reactor. Good luck.
By the way radar jammer works exactly as you would expect it in real life. It outspams enemy radar with it's own emissions making them unable to see anything but source of emission, so putting it onto flagship is a really bad idea because every single radar-guided missile will come right at it like moths towards lighthouse. Best way to use it is to slap it onto some very fast unarmed brick and let it bait out enemy missiles (that don't restock magically until enemy fleet rearms at staging point) while your main fleet goes the other way.
In-game, it basically reduces the range of a particular kind of ballistic missile The downside to it is that THE OTHER kind if ballistic missile will lock on you even more easily than before, because of the high signal you emit.
The sound of this game is essentially for when you can't decide between being an Electronics Warfare officer or a gun battery one so you choose both and go for the ASMR porn of rattling ammo belts and electronic signatures disappearing.
What seth forgets to mention here is the best part about this game. The atmosphere. Everything and i mean EVERYTHING in highfleet is meant to make you feel immersed.
My second fight or so I rammed one of my frigates into an enemy without thinking anything of it, and then got lectured about it and got a morale penalty, and realized that my actions do have consequences in this game. I felt so bad when the general mentioned that I had killed a shit ton of people.
the game is also perceived in a very peculiar way by the Russians, and indeed by any Slav. The author has created a mesmerizing cocktail of cultural and plot paths, where the old Russian nobility, Tsar's decrees, the Cossacks, Gumilyov's poems about his travels to the East and the Caucasian aristocracy intertwined.
@@cibo889 In this moment, the atmosphere is lost a little, alas. I played in both English and Russian. In English, Pyotr Shahin just scolds the player. In Russian, the words and the general atmosphere of the icy anger of a high officer of the old time, from classical literature, are used. It becomes clear that Pyotr is one step away from challenging Duke to a duel.

I wish he'd mentioned the part where you get to Kiva and suddenly the game goes from a roguelike tactics game, to a real time strategy game, where the entire rebel army is now hellbent and killing you and your new fleet of loyalists that popped up out of the woodwork, and you have to micro-manage around half a dozen fleets in real time using an interface that was only designed to handle one or two.
One strategy I saw was to build a shit ship near ever single city you pass by to lure the nuclear fire for that stage of the game, it is surprisingly effective

I have no fucking idea how you're even able to understand all of these mechanics and have the brain power to actually play the games you reviewed, It's honestly fucking insane, kudos to you
This one is actually pretty simple tbh. You don't need to do radio intercepts almost ever, decryption never matters, and the tactical battles are really simple. The hardest part is just remembering your goal and not getting bogged down winning fights just to slowly lose the war.
Well shit, I expected Mandalore to do a review on this because of Vangers. I didnt think the African Warlord himself would grace us with it after all this time. Highfleet is special. Hammerfight and Vangers are such weird, old, underappreciated games and I'm glad Konstantin is back in the fray. Highfleet is a damn fun game even with it's minor flaws and technical hiccups. I do wish the developer would stop caving so easily to singular demands and maintain his vision, but he hasnt made a game in almost a decade and a half.
Hammerfight also just happens to be developed by some Russian bloke in his ice shack. A lot of magical things happen given post-communist depression and enough vodka.
@@Mocha. Well, he called Highfleet Hammerfight's "spiritual prequel," whatever that means, and Vangers is apparently the same universe a damn long time after Hammerfight. Russian developers man, they churn out gold quality stuff in the most unusual ways.
this is the type of game i would have absolutely no fun playing and be riddled with anxiety, but absolutely enjoy watching others play, and learn the lore.

Protip: Strip all the armor off the Sevastopol at game start. Removing parts takes 0 time and will massively reduce its weight, therefore increasing its speed and fuel efficiency. Later on you can add a flight deck and planes and turn it into a tanker/carrier/missile support cruiser, which is its best role fit.
The ELINT system looks a lot like real Russian RWR (RADAR Warning Receiver) systems in their aircraft. It has that weird "pretend phone for kids" bit around the outside (which lights up showing the direction of received radiation), and the part in the middle (besides the "Warning! Danger Close" bit) shows the intensity of incoming radiation. I think it was Growling Sidewinder (a DCS youtuber) who made a video of him flying a MiG-29 against an F-22, having to try to locate and intercept the F-22 using solely the RWR. He had to time his missile-dodges based on when he saw the radiation rapidly increase in intensity as the Raptor's missiles approached. He successfully dodged two or three missiles, but was unable to get visuals on the target and was splashed by a shot he dodged incorrectly. Very weird stuff, but an important part of any aircraft's arsenal.
RHS aircrafts in Arma 3 gets a surprisingly decent rendition of them. Safe to say, you start hearing the thing go off, you start diving, or praying, whichever comes first.

What I love about our game industry, it's that you have three options: ancient quest games, rudimentary shooters funded by FSB and a Russian Roulette of indie games that could be either a crappy F2P multiplayer, or something actually great, like this one right here
Wow, dementia in the west went real, FSB funding? hahahaha. Funny because the opposite is real, in the U.S the military industrial complex puts a ton of money to brainwash kids with CoD.
@@SPrince-t9u I shit you not, there's at least 2 or 3 games which were funded by, well, not exactly FSB, but by FSKN - basically Russian DEA. Two FPS games were not good, and one arcade game was oddly reminiscent of The Lost Vikings, so it wasn't really bad
@@SPrince-t9u for some reason my reply got insta-deleted. At any rate, you wanna look up "Боец Спецназа ФСКН". You will probably need to use translator a lot, since most of the info on this game and its sequel/expansion are not in English (obviously)
Probably one of the most intuitive ship-builders I've played (That also allow you to take your ship out to do some actual stuffs). Being a fantastical yet oddly "grounded" setting also helps this alot. Just the ship builder part imo is already worth it, the campaign is just a neat little bonus to help you further engross into this bizarrely fascinating world they built.
airship: conquer the skies is slightly better, although its a simple 4x but the combat is identical with far more variations(especially as enemies include not just other empire ships but also dragons aka city demolishers inc, giant insect swarms etc...)
Dear SSeth, if it's 20mm or more, it's no longer a machine gun, but a machine cannon. That's why the German horse drawn 20mm "fuck you and the house you're hiding in" gun was a cannon.
@@MaxterandKiwiKing Good thing ,because I suspect that Assault Cannons would be banned for some bullshit reason. How am I supposed to defend my ice cream stand without my them?
@@HrHaakon Sadly, anything classified as a cannon, such as 20mm or more, is illegal to own here in the USA without special permits due to being classified as a destructive device. I think there is an exception for old timey muzzle-loaded cannons that shoot cannon balls, but I'm not 100 percent sure.

it's really not that bad using your money on expensive ammo when you think about the terror they feel as they've failed to evade your laser guided weaponry, and you have made them understand the horror that is fighting against an abandoned Sayadi Task Force
The thing is Sseth has the genetic condition know as, "Being critically Jewish". The idea of wasting money gives him night terrors.

Hey Sseth. I emailed the dev and he replied to me with the following information. " Hi, -------! Sorry for the late reply. Thank you so much for the warm review of our game. We just need to make some final fixes to the game and we'll almost certainly start building the arena. So we are looking in the same direction :) Cheers, Konstantin "
Only if you force it. Highfleet is basically a dieselpunk Ostern (Easterns) which is a genre of Russian fiction kinda like the American Western but instead of Cowboys and Indians its Cossacks and Central Asians. They're stories set in era of Russian Expansion Eastwards which is considered a romantic setting in 19th Century Russia. Particularly Highfleet is based on the Khivan Campaign of 1873, when the Russian Empire got sick of the hijinks of the Khivan Khanate and decided to conquer. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Khivan_campaign_of_1873
for anyone in the future that got this game, here are some life saving tips and a good start guide. Turn off your radar and rely on elint and your IR radar. Elint is a system that detects other radar systems. Enemies will use their elints to find you but also keep their radars on. Which is a great way to spot and avoid them. Only turn your radar on when you think your close to something you wanna attack. Like a cargo ship or town. But for the most part, keep it off. Build role specific ships. I would edit already built ships, add modifications, remove aspects to have very designated roles. Combat ship, radar ship, fuel ship, missile ship, aircraft ships, anti missile ship, decoy ships. I dont know why they want the prebuilt ships to do a bit of everything. Not how that works IRL Combat ships are heavily armored and heavily gunned. High caliber cannons for damage and miniguns to shoot down incoming missiles and cannon fire. 4 or 5 miniguns can literally shoot down anything shot at it while 4-5 large guns will instantly kill most ships.(Large expensive ships) Aircraft ship which holds bomber and fighter planes. Sending a few bomber planes to a town before you arrive can kill everything before you even get there. You can always buy more planes and bombs too. Fighter planes either assault ships or take down other planes and missiles. Once i learnt how to use this system, the game became 5 times easier. Most useful support ship. Radar ship which has unblocked radar, elint, jammer, IR radar. Which gives a much longer detection range than the main ship. Make them fast too so they can possibly scout ahead. Better than sending in the large slow fleet and getting into trouble if your uncertain about an area that recently had hunters. Fuel ships which is essentially a big tanker with jets. Usefull for splitting into 2 parties or just extending the range of your main fleet. Missile ships are extremely important. Get a ship with just the basics and load it up with Silos and put in ballistic missiles. Firing missiles at enemies before a big fight can cripple them and you can always buy more in towns. VERY usefull for taking minimum damage in bigger fights. Anti missile ship which has tons of those anti missile rockets and medium caliber cannons to shoot down ballistic missiles. When you detect incoming missiles, send this ship out infront to intercept everything. Great for when THAT missile spamming fker ship detects you later in the game and fires 30+ missiles at you.. If he finds you.. Which would end most normal runs. A decoy ship to lead enemies away from the main party. cheap lightweight throwaway ship to stop the large hunting parties from finding you early. Only ever use the jammer if missiles are coming at you and you think it might end your run. When you turn on the jammers, all enemies get notified of where you are. But the incoming missiles freak out and miss. Better haul ass to a few towns away after.
Specialized forces beat generalist forces whenever you have a slow but solid plan, but generalism beats out specialisation when you are relying on subterfuge and high risk tasks. I've found out that specialization works really well "lategame" but generalist approach will suit those who like to push "earlygame". Sooooo.... the best approach is to do both, simultaneously, on whichever front seems to most suit either, because having little resources somewhere is kinda like earlygame, but having a solid frontline is kinda like lategame. I personally focus on specialization, since I'm very big on slow-rolling over my enemy untill they turn to grade ULH3000 paste, but some people find blitzkrieg to be their cup of tea! Good luck out there.
@@secretname2670 The problem with general ships is that you take too much damage fighting with ships you shouldn't be fighting with. Why does the longbow have miniguns and armor? I do not know but i sure as shit won't be sending that thing to the front lines lol. If i fought with generalist ships, id be spending all my money and time repairing them. Yea since you can't get custom ships later on, i usually start with them early and then get whatever generalist ships through the campaign. A big flaw that i've realized is that having one of your specialist ships die early on can just kill a run. Mainly the AA or main battle ship. If those die for me before i have suitable replacements or backups, it's gg.
@@sadrootbeer you may be taking fights on equal or disadvantageous position. A general fighter should exploit all kinds of things that it can, because a specialist won't be able to exploit a lot of those things themselves. Generalist forces are all about positioning and taking ambush fights while specialists are about planning and gaining overwhelming advantage in few things instead of small advantage in many. Sun Tzu said that.
Some serious props for these extremely intricate and, quite frankly, obscure references to the modern Russian/CIS culture. I am genuinely starting to believe you're very much akin to Revolver Ocelot, Sseth
You do the "пожалуйста" part well, and that's the most important. How well you say the rest is irrelevant as taking the money is of the utmost priority.
I've heard it said of the soviet space shuttle equivalent that it comes across as a spacecraft that was designed by guys who don't own shoes, which I think is rather apt for most soviet technical solutions

Man I looked forward to this game's release, bought it day two, and wasn't disappointed. Sad to see that they toned down the epilepsy though, it hurt my eyes but it also adds to the chaotic atmosphere of battles. My fav ship in this game is an upgunned Fearsome. It's small, agile, and decently durable (able to tank a few missiles). If you stick 3 130mm turrets on this bad boy, it'll melt every capital ship in a few seconds, especially with AP shells. If it was human, it'd be Peter Dinklage with Arnie Schwarz arms.
I remember seeing it from another TH-cam who plays indie games before release and bought it day one my favorite is an upgraded intrepid slap 2 more engines 2 more 37mm and armor covering the whole thing so there's no "weak spots" and you just fly around out maneuvering everything and point blank disintegrating them with a overwhelming volume of fire Also I agree the eye damage was worth the immersivness wish it stayed the same
finally got my hand on this gem. Decided to go on a glorious run of pure kindness before got caught up when a babushka decided my fleet is a danger to her hometown. When all of my ship got destroyed, i know it's only matter of time till i activate the ol' nuke switcheroo. thousand dead at the cost of only -1 kindness, it's not a bad deal i think to myself. That's it, until the SG decided to nuke the rest of my fleet to winter wonderland. 10/10 will commit 'warcrime' again.
I been watching the development of this game for years but somehow forgot about it. It looks like it came together very well :D I love the whole vibe of the Soviet run down but rugged machinery.
It's more like Imperial Russia meets Dune sans worms & spice with huge Silent Hunter flavor from all that radio-intercepting-plotting-convoy-stalking business.
While 1000km per 2038 tons of fuel sounds pretty bad, having a mileage of ~.5 km/t, the ships in this game can move 1 ton of cargo 1.38km for only 1 ton of fuel, about 7.5 times more than a long range boeing 777, which has a mere 0.18km/t/t.
@@jbfsr4965 You should remember that ships themselves are absolutely gargantuan in sizes. You are literally flying whole cities. To compare, aircraft carriers IRL "according to the Royal Navy's Rear Admiral Neil Morisetti, can only manage 12 inches on a gallon of fuel". So the carrier gets you 0.3048 meters per gallon of diesel while these ships get you 1.58 meters per same weight in liquid methane. So yeah, the numbers are off - these ships are crazy power efficient for their rugged look.
@@burningsinner1132 I had to look some specs. A boeing 777 does arround 0.08km/L. 0.18km/t is too much. With a full tank you would do arround 30km. Not very usefull.
As a PROUD member of the merchant's guild, this question is not my problem, it is the problem of the poor dude down the road with healthy kidneys that would fetch a good pri- I mean function very well inside of his body
How to highfleet: 1: Throw out the concept of being a carrier simulator. Download a battleship. 2: Buy your battleship at game start. Realise you have no money for literally anything else. 3: Ignore the rulers and other tools on the screen. 4: Charge into city after city and annihilate everything with massive bombardment. 5: Reach Khiva. 6: Capture Khiva. 7: Get screwed by the game surprising you with multiple incoming nuclear missile launchers and fleets. 8: Lose.
Amazing game, this review makes me wanna go for a 2nd playthrough. However being a russian I wouldn't describe it's vibes as soviet it's more like a dune+madmax set in afghanistan/central asian steppes with a pinch of pre-revolution russian flavour with a bit of diesel, cameltech and nuclear goodness. Game doesn't feel raw or unfinished however being made by one guy we probably won't see more of it

One of my most legendary moments was when I managed to one shot a strike cruiser with a gladiator thanks to a perfectly accurate AP round shot to the bridge. This game is a masterpiece 👌🏻, thanks for covering it! Still, it would be nice of Kostantin to give us some way to get back to a city when we get stranded im the desert for the lack of fuel. As it is now, your only option is to wait for somebody to find you, fight with them and steal their fuel. Provided you survive the missile onslaught, of course (if you declared nuclear war, then you can kiss your ass goodbye, and start a new game)
I mean, walking isn't a possibility, you are often hundreds of kilometres away in a hostile desert. Further, you are a wanted man in the sense that those looking for you were perfectly willing to burn your entire family and civilization in nuclear hellfire. It's safe to say most are not feeling too charitable toward a soon-to-be deposed foreign ruler who no longer has a giant fuck-off battleship backing his words. It's a rogue-like; it's supposed to have soft game-overs like that as a matter of its design. Finally, there is no reason why you can't build a dedicated fuel tanker and do it yourself with a separate support fleet. TL;DR don't plan to run out of fuel in the middle of the desert.
@@lolroflroflcakes It happens a lot when you are chased by strike groups Anyway, it's quite a dumb way to die in this game. Maybe send a land detachment? I'm not talking about walking, I'm talking about cars. Honestly it's stupid enough (but understandable) that you must send one ship at the time, but why couldn't we have land support vehicles too, for instance? Who knows, maybe Kostantin will think of a solution, but as it stands, running out of fuel feels more dumb, than dramatic
@@lolroflroflcakes Just found a solution: Tarkhans with the ability to confer a fuel recharge (just like others give you more funds) Lorewise? They could contact a caravan from the "Hidden People".
Gosh this game looks so much better than it has any right or reason to. It's absolutely gorgeous and the effects like glitches, explosions, smoke, and even the convulsive flashes of light, are like nothing i've ever seen before.
This and a lot of other low budget games have something mainstream releases don’t have anymore, personality and simplicity, which is somehow synonymous with “bad”
Too bad the newer one sanitizes the glitch effect... nah, just kidding, _But I’m installing a mod for the original glitch effect for immersive sheer heart attack panicking_
In all seriousness all the games he reviews becomes very interesting and actually makes me want to try them, and then I remember I suck at the games he reviews. Very cool.

It's a rare game where Nukes are a powerful force but not worth using simply because the other side has them too.
Not if you use cheap decoys so they waste all their nukes, fly straight for the capital then proceed to murder their leader during negotiations and nuke their city and fleet, GG easy win
Just like real life!
Jokes on you, end of the game reverses that and you'll end up with more nukes then you'll know what to do with them.
However, the enemy also gets nuke happy.
What was stopping them was the idea that you're small enough to be dealt with conventionally, and the fact that there is an uneasy peace among the public. If they launch first it'd be enough that people might get frustrated enough that they'll start rising up against the rebels; which is why the other Tarks are just lying in wait as they don't wanna be That Guy that made the first move and started the next Great War.
Once you reach the main power plant; the one talked about in your mission statement from your glorious leader, you get to defend the power plant as the rebels try to retake it and likely blame you for the subsequent nuclear disaster from the damaged plutonium reactor. They have zero problems firing any nuclear warhead at the plant; and even if you destroy a nuke at that range to protect yourself the subsequent shockwave will destroy that reactor.
Good luck.
If you use them it better be a damn decisive use
By the way radar jammer works exactly as you would expect it in real life.
It outspams enemy radar with it's own emissions making them unable to see anything but source of emission, so putting it onto flagship is a really bad idea because every single radar-guided missile will come right at it like moths towards lighthouse.
Best way to use it is to slap it onto some very fast unarmed brick and let it bait out enemy missiles (that don't restock magically until enemy fleet rearms at staging point) while your main fleet goes the other way.
Is this *the* Konstantin?
In-game, it basically reduces the range of a particular kind of ballistic missile
The downside to it is that THE OTHER kind if ballistic missile will lock on you even more easily than before, because of the high signal you emit.

the game is also perceived in a very peculiar way by the Russians, and indeed by any Slav.

The ELINT system looks a lot like real Russian RWR (RADAR Warning Receiver) systems in their aircraft. It has that weird "pretend phone for kids" bit around the outside (which lights up showing the direction of received radiation), and the part in the middle (besides the "Warning! Danger Close" bit) shows the intensity of incoming radiation. I think it was Growling Sidewinder (a DCS youtuber) who made a video of him flying a MiG-29 against an F-22, having to try to locate and intercept the F-22 using solely the RWR. He had to time his missile-dodges based on when he saw the radiation rapidly increase in intensity as the Raptor's missiles approached. He successfully dodged two or three missiles, but was unable to get visuals on the target and was splashed by a shot he dodged incorrectly.
Very weird stuff, but an important part of any aircraft's arsenal.
RHS aircrafts in Arma 3 gets a surprisingly decent rendition of them.
Safe to say, you start hearing the thing go off, you start diving, or praying, whichever comes first.

Probably one of the most intuitive ship-builders I've played (That also allow you to take your ship out to do some actual stuffs). Being a fantastical yet oddly "grounded" setting also helps this alot. Just the ship builder part imo is already worth it, the campaign is just a neat little bonus to help you further engross into this bizarrely fascinating world they built.
airship: conquer the skies is slightly better, although its a simple 4x but the combat is identical with far more variations(especially as enemies include not just other empire ships but also dragons aka city demolishers inc, giant insect swarms etc...)

Dear SSeth, if it's 20mm or more, it's no longer a machine gun, but a machine cannon.

Highfleet is basically a dieselpunk Ostern (Easterns) which is a genre of Russian fiction kinda like the American Western but instead of Cowboys and Indians its Cossacks and Central Asians. They're stories set in era of Russian Expansion Eastwards which is considered a romantic setting in 19th Century Russia.
Particularly Highfleet is based on the Khivan Campaign of 1873, when the Russian Empire got sick of the hijinks of the Khivan Khanate and decided to conquer. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Khivan_campaign_of_1873

I hope you guys don't plan to invade Poland without your ol' Pals from the goold ol' times, though ...
for anyone in the future that got this game, here are some life saving tips and a good start guide.
Turn off your radar and rely on elint and your IR radar. Elint is a system that detects other radar systems. Enemies will use their elints to find you but also keep their radars on. Which is a great way to spot and avoid them. Only turn your radar on when you think your close to something you wanna attack. Like a cargo ship or town. But for the most part, keep it off.
Build role specific ships. I would edit already built ships, add modifications, remove aspects to have very designated roles. Combat ship, radar ship, fuel ship, missile ship, aircraft ships, anti missile ship, decoy ships. I dont know why they want the prebuilt ships to do a bit of everything. Not how that works IRL
Combat ships are heavily armored and heavily gunned. High caliber cannons for damage and miniguns to shoot down incoming missiles and cannon fire. 4 or 5 miniguns can literally shoot down anything shot at it while 4-5 large guns will instantly kill most ships.(Large expensive ships)
Aircraft ship which holds bomber and fighter planes. Sending a few bomber planes to a town before you arrive can kill everything before you even get there. You can always buy more planes and bombs too. Fighter planes either assault ships or take down other planes and missiles. Once i learnt how to use this system, the game became 5 times easier. Most useful support ship.
Radar ship which has unblocked radar, elint, jammer, IR radar. Which gives a much longer detection range than the main ship. Make them fast too so they can possibly scout ahead. Better than sending in the large slow fleet and getting into trouble if your uncertain about an area that recently had hunters.
Fuel ships which is essentially a big tanker with jets. Usefull for splitting into 2 parties or just extending the range of your main fleet.
Missile ships are extremely important. Get a ship with just the basics and load it up with Silos and put in ballistic missiles. Firing missiles at enemies before a big fight can cripple them and you can always buy more in towns. VERY usefull for taking minimum damage in bigger fights.
Anti missile ship which has tons of those anti missile rockets and medium caliber cannons to shoot down ballistic missiles. When you detect incoming missiles, send this ship out infront to intercept everything. Great for when THAT missile spamming fker ship detects you later in the game and fires 30+ missiles at you.. If he finds you.. Which would end most normal runs.
A decoy ship to lead enemies away from the main party. cheap lightweight throwaway ship to stop the large hunting parties from finding you early.
Only ever use the jammer if missiles are coming at you and you think it might end your run. When you turn on the jammers, all enemies get notified of where you are. But the incoming missiles freak out and miss. Better haul ass to a few towns away after.
Great tips, mate. Thank you!
Specialized forces beat generalist forces whenever you have a slow but solid plan, but generalism beats out specialisation when you are relying on subterfuge and high risk tasks.
I've found out that specialization works really well "lategame" but generalist approach will suit those who like to push "earlygame". Sooooo.... the best approach is to do both, simultaneously, on whichever front seems to most suit either, because having little resources somewhere is kinda like earlygame, but having a solid frontline is kinda like lategame.
I personally focus on specialization, since I'm very big on slow-rolling over my enemy untill they turn to grade ULH3000 paste, but some people find blitzkrieg to be their cup of tea! Good luck out there.
@@secretname2670 The problem with general ships is that you take too much damage fighting with ships you shouldn't be fighting with.
Why does the longbow have miniguns and armor? I do not know but i sure as shit won't be sending that thing to the front lines lol.
If i fought with generalist ships, id be spending all my money and time repairing them.
Yea since you can't get custom ships later on, i usually start with them early and then get whatever generalist ships through the campaign.
A big flaw that i've realized is that having one of your specialist ships die early on can just kill a run. Mainly the AA or main battle ship. If those die for me before i have suitable replacements or backups, it's gg.
@@sadrootbeer you may be taking fights on equal or disadvantageous position. A general fighter should exploit all kinds of things that it can, because a specialist won't be able to exploit a lot of those things themselves. Generalist forces are all about positioning and taking ambush fights while specialists are about planning and gaining overwhelming advantage in few things instead of small advantage in many.
Sun Tzu said that.

Man I looked forward to this game's release, bought it day two, and wasn't disappointed. Sad to see that they toned down the epilepsy though, it hurt my eyes but it also adds to the chaotic atmosphere of battles.
My fav ship in this game is an upgunned Fearsome. It's small, agile, and decently durable (able to tank a few missiles). If you stick 3 130mm turrets on this bad boy, it'll melt every capital ship in a few seconds, especially with AP shells. If it was human, it'd be Peter Dinklage with Arnie Schwarz arms.
I remember seeing it from another TH-cam who plays indie games before release and bought it day one my favorite is an upgraded intrepid slap 2 more engines 2 more 37mm and armor covering the whole thing so there's no "weak spots" and you just fly around out maneuvering everything and point blank disintegrating them with a overwhelming volume of fire
Also I agree the eye damage was worth the immersivness wish it stayed the same

While 1000km per 2038 tons of fuel sounds pretty bad, having a mileage of ~.5 km/t, the ships in this game can move 1 ton of cargo 1.38km for only 1 ton of fuel, about 7.5 times more than a long range boeing 777, which has a mere 0.18km/t/t.
So the guy that said they use nuclear engines was probably right
Those numbers seem wrong
@@jbfsr4965 You should remember that ships themselves are absolutely gargantuan in sizes. You are literally flying whole cities. To compare, aircraft carriers IRL "according to the Royal Navy's Rear Admiral Neil Morisetti, can only manage 12 inches on a gallon of fuel". So the carrier gets you 0.3048 meters per gallon of diesel while these ships get you 1.58 meters per same weight in liquid methane.
So yeah, the numbers are off - these ships are crazy power efficient for their rugged look.
@@burningsinner1132 I had to look some specs. A boeing 777 does arround 0.08km/L. 0.18km/t is too much. With a full tank you would do arround 30km. Not very usefull.

4: Charge into city after city and annihilate everything with massive bombardment.
5: Reach Khiva.
6: Capture Khiva.
7: Get screwed by the game surprising you with multiple incoming nuclear missile launchers and fleets.
8: Lose.

Still, it would be nice of Kostantin to give us some way to get back to a city when we get stranded im the desert for the lack of fuel. As it is now, your only option is to wait for somebody to find you, fight with them and steal their fuel.
Provided you survive the missile onslaught, of course (if you declared nuclear war, then you can kiss your ass goodbye, and start a new game)
I mean, walking isn't a possibility, you are often hundreds of kilometres away in a hostile desert. Further, you are a wanted man in the sense that those looking for you were perfectly willing to burn your entire family and civilization in nuclear hellfire. It's safe to say most are not feeling too charitable toward a soon-to-be deposed foreign ruler who no longer has a giant fuck-off battleship backing his words. It's a rogue-like; it's supposed to have soft game-overs like that as a matter of its design.
Finally, there is no reason why you can't build a dedicated fuel tanker and do it yourself with a separate support fleet.
TL;DR don't plan to run out of fuel in the middle of the desert.
