@@Ryuko-T72 yeah, all sorts of whacky stuff you could do in it. A buddy of mine designed a very thin, 3 block thick ship, a litter wider for its length than normal, and basically rounded off the front for a very hydrodynamic, according to the game, ship. He reach 180 knots, or about 400 km/h, in a ship with multiple 480mm turrets.
The builder reminds me of Simple Planes with the adjustable block and how you install weapons, props, and other parts. It’s mostly designed to make planes and land vehicles. Ships are possible but trying to make them float properly is a pain.
Yeah, I was just about to mention SP! I found that making ships in SP is the easiest when you split the hull in 2, horizontally. The bottom half should have the fuel, while the top half should have the buoyancy.
@@00dawn I never considered that. I usually split it right down the middle to form a left and ride side, then I would fill the whole thing with fuel and add one or two of those orange floatation blocks and hide them somewhere in side the hull. After a while I just saved a prebuilt Bismarck model and swapped the rocket that were in place for the guns with the newer cannon system they have. It works fairly decently.
I had made a LHD and a frigate in simpleplanes but the hull was very blocky lol. it was very fun making the guns and trying to land helicopters and planes on my ships
I dont know if someone already wrote, but an elevator elevates the ammo and the charges from their safe storage place, at the bottom of the ship, to the guns. If it is broken, the shells have to be transported manually and the guns have thus a lot lower fire rate

That being said, tho. This game still looks pretty early in development. Ill hold on for the moment before i grab it. Tho ill keep a watch on its career with great intrest. *lel
I think the bigger point here is how UA:D is lacking things like making multiple classes of ships or deciding what are your enemies all that much. UA:D Also lacks any sort of sharing or saving your creations. Naval Art has all of this, and it's little things, sure, but it makes a giant difference.
You should try the aircraft wave mechanic. Pick a ship with some AA, load it up in the designer, go into the test mode. From there you should see an island a bit to your front right. An enemy seaplane spawns there, let your AA shoot it down. Once that is done (there is an airfield to the far right) aircraft waves will start spawning to come and attack you.
I picked this up a few weeks ago on a whim. As a From the Depths fan, this lets me mess around and make functional ships without having to the struggle with FtD's mimic blocks. Glad to see you've enjoyed this.
@@SerinaDeMadrigal same, 1100 hours in FtD mainly spent in sandbox... If this game gets a campaign mode I'd jump on it. I mainly play from the depths to enjoy using my own creations in the campaign these days.
@@tommeakin1732 the game is still in very early development now and currently what you see is bare minimum. IIRC the dev will make custom scenario possible in future
I have been playing this game a few years now (I got it for about 5€), and I can say if combat is what you want, this Game isn‘t that great... at least for now. I think that has to do with the way the damage system works. It also is a very annoying to build a ship with a good armor sheme, that looks good. If you want to have 410mm of belt armor, you have the Option of either making the entire hull block 410mm, wich makes it very heavy, or sandwiching a light (5-32mm) hull block between two very slim armor blocks. That makes your ship lighter and makes it possible to have actuall armor... but making those blocks for more advanced hull designs, where blocks a slanted in more then one direction, is just not possible. I think a different way to set armor values to blocks would fix it. I would still recomend to get the game, because it has just tones and tones of potential. Sorry for any misspelled words, I am german and my autocorrect hates the english language and I am 16, so keep that in mind.
Your English is very good. My ancestors was originally from Germany, as well as Scotland, so I wanted to eventually learn about the language of my ancestors :)
This reminds me of an old game I used to play as a kiddo, think it was called BattleshipCraft. You'd design the ship each and every block or use a prefab and design it from there. I'd spend hours playing it and it really got me interested in the naval genre.
"they were never really designed to square off against each other" Actually, the Yamato was specifically built to be able to hit a target with its guns before the target's guns can hit it. But Bismarck really isn't built for facing off against battleships, it just has sufficient armament and armor to do so, but its primary purpose is commerce raiding.
Bismarck was never meant to do commerce raider it was meant to fight the french battleship rechilue however due to the war by 1941 that was her first mission
@@Bored_Kaga after the french had started the construction of the dunkerque class the germans had started construction on the scharnhorst class to deal with them and the renown class of the british n turn the french started constuction on the rechilu class in turn once more the germans started construction the bismarck class. these events are what kickstarted the 2nd naval arms race in the leadup of ww2 in which all major powers participated in
If you really like that idea, there is a game called simpleplanes that has the same mechanic, it also has a workshop (idk if there is also the steam one) where the name simple “planes” pretty much goes to fck it self and becomes simple “whateverthehellcameacrossthisguymind”
Sprocket is like the tank version of this. I’d also recommend From the Depths, as you get to build weapons as long as your ok with a block based system.
I am still waiting the game more similar to Naval ops warhip gunner 2. The design process is less flexible than this but much simpler to follow and customize.
Update: Loving it, and worth the money, I made a: Minesweeper, a rough copy of a flower class corvette, a random corvette, a motor torpedo boat, gun and torpedo versions of a Americans style destroyer, and a pocket battleship
You convinced me to buy this game just with the Ship editor, but then you showed the combat against multiple custom ship… can’t wait to try it out, maybe there will be also multiplayer
"NavalArt - The Designer Dreadnoughts Should Have Had" Go ahead showing a complete nightmare design process to make one ship and complete ignoring the fact the AI would never be able to use the same system. The concept is cool and interesting but is not what is needed for UAD.
@@Stealth17Gaming not the same thing and is easy to spot the differences. Here is the trailer: th-cam.com/video/ws7uRKuWCyo/w-d-xo.html The initial concept for UAD evolved around the idea to give the player the option to select pre fabricated hull,guns, superstructure modules to design the ship in a simple way that could be done in a few minutes. You were not designing the hull form, height , width , shape anything. Big difference. However this system have big flaws and i suspect that was the reason why the devs changed to what we have now. If you look careful in the trailer the modules being swapped are all in the center and what they have in common? The beam and hull shape is the same. It was a very limited system that was impossible to use to replicate the more modern ship hulls in a ship like Bismarck as an example. So they replaced by the system we have now. You select the ship hull/form and is the tonnage that will set the ship length, beam. No crazy time spending in designing the hull shape, propellers, etc... And the hull already comes with places available for the AI to use them to place the other modules. A easy and friendly system for both the player and AI to use. Works both aways and that is important for what UAD wants to achieve. You could argue the AI is still making dubious decisions when designing the ships and you are correct, however it can work with that system. Now with this one you are showing is impossible.
I think I will stuck with Rule The Waves 2....campaign, strategic trade-offs with your actual fleet composition, fleetbattles, long long compaigns, synergy between different ship designs that can stretch over decades. While lacking in some area's, (although tbh I don't really consider graphics that bothering) it's still a well thought out game where you can easily sink everything between half and hour or entire weeks in. I not really a fan of such high detail graphic design, because in my experience you start to standardize extremely fast whenever you get a little bit more serious in such games. If this is a proper physical simulator, you start to gravitate very soon to standard proven solutions or don't want to spend hours of messing around with details if you want to try wacky concepts. In my experience as an engineer, creativity starts to flow when you impose constraints and thus challenges to overcome, especially when it is coupled with a relative short cycle of build and test.
a looooong time ago I played a game called Fighting Steel, a surface warship game with no subs and aircraft carriers. just guns and guns and bigger guns! and I always wished that there was a program that would let you design your own ship, train your crew, and fight others online with it. this looks closer to that dream than UAD!
Please note that developement in this game is quite slow because it's all done by one person. If you're expecting this game to become fully ripe in the near future, don't buy. If you like what you see already and are able to wait a few months for new, minor stuff, then I'd recommend picking it up
TBH, if it weren't for that adjustable hull block, this would be a game that I might get, but would rarely play. That is hugely valuable, such a time saver! But I agree with Francois Levasseur: The point of UA:E is simply different, they aren't entirely comparable. UA:E is more strategic, while this is more engineering. I feel that the two would complement each other well.
This is unrealistic because (1) the commander of the ship doesn't personally aim the guns, and (2) leading was done by mechanical analog fire-control computers, NOT by humans manually guessing where the target would be (as that would be too inaccurate). An ideal game would take the good features of this, plus the good features of UA:D plus the good features of Rule the Waves.
Very nice just bought mine today and started my first ship - HMS Incomparable - so far still on the lower hull section - used 51 pieces for 90m x 358.5 meters and nearly 19k ton - lower hull section is armoured to 16mm amde of 18 sections 30m x 45 meters then the next section is full width by 4.5m - 33 sections with 5mm armour as this will be internal There are lots of possibilities with this once one has got ones head around the design process
If you love this game, there are one or two mobile games that I’d like to suggest, which are similar in terms of building. However it isn’t as simple to build nor is it as visually pleasing as Naval Art but you can still make beautiful ships. It’s called Naval Craft but is a much older game. That’s **not** to say that Naval Art is worse, because it isn’t. It’s simply…simpler, sort of.
There was a game on the Apple App store over a decade ago called Battleshipcraft that I played all the time as a kid then it got taken down for some reason and soon after replaced with what was literally the same game called Warshipcraft which I then also played a ton of. Like I never jailbroke my device and earned everything without paying as I was still just a kid to the point where you can only earn a max of 8,000 in-game currency from succeeding in the hardest mission and I grinded a full month in that game until I finally made a ship that was worth 54,000,000 in-game currency. Called it the USS America because of how many guns I slapped on it as well as missile launchers (this wasn't the only ship I made just the most expensive one). But then about 5 years ago I moved on to android and haven't seen anything like that game sense and so I just waited and hope that something like that game eventually came to pc or android which after these years I stumbled upon this video and got a massive rush of nostalgia and I toughly look forward to playing this game.
Glad I’m not the only one who played Battleship craft as a kid. Imma install this game ASAP and do the ship I couldn’t back then. God I miss the game. I still have it on my old iPhone (its successor Warship craft) but it struggles to work sometimes.
Being able to aim and fire secondaries??? Taking any notice Wargaming?? Getting this. I used to love being able to design custom boats in Warship Gunner. Thanks for sharing.
You are also forgetting UA:D probably isn't trying to be a game like this, and focuses more on making it easy for someone to design their own ships without having an engineering degree. UA:D is also in Early Access and they add more and more hulls, weapons, and designs as development progress so you don't give it the credit it deserves...
i really hope this game becomes serious competition to ultimate admiral dreadnoughts, the main thing that UAD has that this doesn't is better graphics. Hope someday that will change.
And suddenly the game got a lot more attention xD I honestly love the freeform style of it but ... i dont think i am patient enough to really spend hours of my day to design ships.
I like it as a sandbox modeller where I can build a ship I like. However I feel ultimate admiral has a more realistic engine behind it with the level of statistics it plays with and factors it takes into the build. Also the damage model and gunnery is way more realistic. This reminds me more of world of warships. Still though, the fact that this is a solo project from 1 guy is astounding. I think I may get it, if for no other reason then to 3D model my ship design for drachinifels next ship design challenge.
wow, it's like someone took the best of both UA:D and WoWS(whatever good is LEFT of the latter), and, after adding additional features, combined them into this amazing looking game!!
@@Stealth17Gaming wow. . .one guy doing what a whole team of developers didn't(not couldn't, because they most likely can, they just chose not to, although maybe we can change their minds)
This is basically Battleship Craft/ Warship Craft from the IOS store but for the PC. Looks well polished and the controls fit better for PC than touchscreen
hey can you make one of my ship ideas called: the albert entinsine class us super battlecarrier! its basly 2 us nimitz class carriers put on the sides of a ideo class battleship with a few aegis cruisers to fill in the gaps in the back stern of the hull! it has to have one nimitz on the left and one on the right with the catapult and runways ponting into the front bow of the ship! but it's the aircraft runways have to be like 10 meters below the ideo battleship gun decks on the sides! also the large 10-12 inch guns can be rail guns and most of the smaller sub capital 4-8 inch guns all must be replaced with cities and lasers! however if there's no mods with railguns and lasers then just use the ideos class normal guns 10-12 inch guns! but make sure all of the sub capital 4-8 inch guns on the ideo gun decks are replaced with ciwies! and if there no SM-2 missile launchers yet then replace that with a lot of helicopter decks on the aegis back missile decks instead! until sm-2 launchers are either added in mods or in the base game sooner or later! i also want to see that ship in a new video to see what it could work in a ship battle!
In real life while its still in the testing phase as far as I know but modern warships will sometimes have propeller shafts that double as rudders meaning its the propellers that rotate to turn the ship instead of conventional rudders. Does this game have that? Also what gun sizes are available? as my crazy battleship design i told you a bit about will have 20 inch guns so it'll be an insanely huge ship.
you can get more parts such as engines and nuclear power with mods that are easy to install and created by the community to work the aircraft you need to place on catapaults onto the ship with aircraft and press T to open up RTS mode where you can use them and you can then select which aircraft you want to use and choose the aircfart target and you can have them return to the ship they launched off of. when you load the community ships you have to save them like a ship you create to be able to use them in battle. The game has a 'realism' feature where if your ship is too heavy it can sink and if you have too much horsepower and you ship isnt heavy/big enough you can mke your ships do backflips. it also has a gallary feature where you can display all of your saved ships and you can actually walk on them Well the main thing is the only limitiation is your imagination and if you have more questions you can join the discord server for Naval Art and ask them there
It looks like some of the assets are from an old App Store game called Battleship Craft. I recognized and the bridge instantly. A couple have other games have taken the game’s assets, some more than others, but the the game has been gone for a long time.
Nice to see more warship games after the huge World of Warships PR disaster, not even motivated to play it, even as a player who’s account is five years old.

An enemy seaplane spawns there, let your AA shoot it down. Once that is done (there is an airfield to the far right) aircraft waves will start spawning to come and attack you.
I've been thinking of getting this game for a while now, after watching this video i think im going to get it.
I picked this up a few weeks ago on a whim. As a From the Depths fan, this lets me mess around and make functional ships without having to the struggle with FtD's mimic blocks. Glad to see you've enjoyed this.
@@SerinaDeMadrigal same, 1100 hours in FtD mainly spent in sandbox... If this game gets a campaign mode I'd jump on it. I mainly play from the depths to enjoy using my own creations in the campaign these days.
Tried making a sort of gearing class meets atlanta class "destroyer leader". It's a bit difficult to actually make a good hull.
There's also tank designer game called Sprocket and judging by trailer it seems gonna be both fun and hilarious
@@tommeakin1732 the game is still in very early development now and currently what you see is bare minimum. IIRC the dev will make custom scenario possible in future
I have been playing this game a few years now (I got it for about 5€), and I can say if combat is what you want, this Game isn‘t that great... at least for now. I think that has to do with the way the damage system works. It also is a very annoying to build a ship with a good armor sheme, that looks good. If you want to have 410mm of belt armor, you have the Option of either making the entire hull block 410mm, wich makes it very heavy, or sandwiching a light (5-32mm) hull block between two very slim armor blocks. That makes your ship lighter and makes it possible to have actuall armor... but making those blocks for more advanced hull designs, where blocks a slanted in more then one direction, is just not possible. I think a different way to set armor values to blocks would fix it.
I would still recomend to get the game, because it has just tones and tones of potential.
Sorry for any misspelled words, I am german and my autocorrect hates the english language and I am 16, so keep that in mind.
Your English is very good. My ancestors was originally from Germany, as well as Scotland, so I wanted to eventually learn about the language of my ancestors :)
You can make a belt armor separately.
This reminds me of an old game I used to play as a kiddo, think it was called BattleshipCraft. You'd design the ship each and every block or use a prefab and design it from there. I'd spend hours playing it and it really got me interested in the naval genre.
battleship craft was an amazing game and u r so cool for being someone who played it
This looks a bit like a combination of UAD and Battlestations Midway/Pacific
"they were never really designed to square off against each other"
Actually, the Yamato was specifically built to be able to hit a target with its guns before the target's guns can hit it. But Bismarck really isn't built for facing off against battleships, it just has sufficient armament and armor to do so, but its primary purpose is commerce raiding.
Bismarck was never meant to do commerce raider it was meant to fight the french battleship rechilue however due to the war by 1941 that was her first mission
@@ibbi32 please tell me where you saw this. Might be useful to know a different story.
@@Bored_Kaga after the french had started the construction of the dunkerque class the germans had started construction on the scharnhorst class to deal with them and the renown class of the british n turn the french started constuction on the rechilu class in turn once more the germans started construction the bismarck class. these events are what kickstarted the 2nd naval arms race in the leadup of ww2 in which all major powers participated in
That adjustable hull block is pure joy
If you really like that idea, there is a game called simpleplanes that has the same mechanic, it also has a workshop (idk if there is also the steam one) where the name simple “planes” pretty much goes to fck it self and becomes simple “whateverthehellcameacrossthisguymind”
Sprocket is like the tank version of this.
I’d also recommend From the Depths, as you get to build weapons as long as your ok with a block based system.
I have done a lot of vids on Ftd already.
@@Stealth17Gaming My apologies, I mixed you up with another channel.
I am still waiting the game more similar to Naval ops warhip gunner 2. The design process is less flexible than this but much simpler to follow and customize.
Putting a Battleship turret on the Essex's deck is what sold this to me. I loved doing that on Warship Gunner 2
This game also needs aviation to make the anti-air more useful, other than for shooting down recon planes.
The trailer on Steam shows dive bombers, doesn't look like they've been fully implemented yet though
In the test drive if you destroy the recon plane you will start fighting against dive bombers , torpedo bombers and b25s
Reminds me of simple planes!
I’ll definitely be getting this at some point in the near future, i can’t believe I scrolled past this on steam without looking the other day!
Update: Loving it, and worth the money, I made a: Minesweeper, a rough copy of a flower class corvette, a random corvette, a motor torpedo boat, gun and torpedo versions of a Americans style destroyer, and a pocket battleship
Your Yamato was very close to getting kicked by the Clevelands.))
ultamate admiral: dreadnoughts + stormworks = naval art
You convinced me to buy this game just with the Ship editor, but then you showed the combat against multiple custom ship… can’t wait to try it out, maybe there will be also multiplayer
They have mentioned all the things they want to add in future updates, which includes multiplayer. Which is going to be soooo fun
So this is how World of Warships makes new ships....
Add Stormworks: Build and Rescue to the list of games that need this.
This looks amazing can we please have more of this?
id honestly rather this over UAD
Id love to see the point where u can make carriers and do crazy stuff
"NavalArt - The Designer Dreadnoughts Should Have Had"
Go ahead showing a complete nightmare design process to make one ship and complete ignoring the fact the AI would never be able to use the same system.
The concept is cool and interesting but is not what is needed for UAD.
Dreadnoughts did have a system such as this in its initial trailer
@@Stealth17Gaming not the same thing and is easy to spot the differences.
Here is the trailer: th-cam.com/video/ws7uRKuWCyo/w-d-xo.html
The initial concept for UAD evolved around the idea to give the player the option to select pre fabricated hull,guns, superstructure modules to design the ship in a simple way that could be done in a few minutes. You were not designing the hull form, height , width , shape anything. Big difference.
However this system have big flaws and i suspect that was the reason why the devs changed to what we have now.
If you look careful in the trailer the modules being swapped are all in the center and what they have in common? The beam and hull shape is the same. It was a very limited system that was impossible to use to replicate the more modern ship hulls in a ship like Bismarck as an example.
So they replaced by the system we have now. You select the ship hull/form and is the tonnage that will set the ship length, beam. No crazy time spending in designing the hull shape, propellers, etc...
And the hull already comes with places available for the AI to use them to place the other modules. A easy and friendly system for both the player and AI to use. Works both aways and that is important for what UAD wants to achieve.
You could argue the AI is still making dubious decisions when designing the ships and you are correct, however it can work with that system. Now with this one you are showing is impossible.
Looks pretty amazing. Think there could be some combat tweeking but the designing is beautiful.
this looks really good.. and wonders of wonders, LAND! Just bought the game..
When this game comes out I’m getting it.
I think I will stuck with Rule The Waves 2....campaign, strategic trade-offs with your actual fleet composition, fleetbattles, long long compaigns, synergy between different ship designs that can stretch over decades.
While lacking in some area's, (although tbh I don't really consider graphics that bothering) it's still a well thought out game where you can easily sink everything between half and hour or entire weeks in.
I not really a fan of such high detail graphic design, because in my experience you start to standardize extremely fast whenever you get a little bit more serious in such games. If this is a proper physical simulator, you start to gravitate very soon to standard proven solutions or don't want to spend hours of messing around with details if you want to try wacky concepts.
In my experience as an engineer, creativity starts to flow when you impose constraints and thus challenges to overcome, especially when it is coupled with a relative short cycle of build and test.
a looooong time ago I played a game called Fighting Steel, a surface warship game with no subs and aircraft carriers. just guns and guns and bigger guns! and I always wished that there was a program that would let you design your own ship, train your crew, and fight others online with it. this looks closer to that dream than UAD!
Please note that developement in this game is quite slow because it's all done by one person. If you're expecting this game to become fully ripe in the near future, don't buy. If you like what you see already and are able to wait a few months for new, minor stuff, then I'd recommend picking it up
TBH, if it weren't for that adjustable hull block, this would be a game that I might get, but would rarely play. That is hugely valuable, such a time saver!
But I agree with Francois Levasseur: The point of UA:E is simply different, they aren't entirely comparable. UA:E is more strategic, while this is more engineering. I feel that the two would complement each other well.
NavalArt is great!
I love playing it, because of this i also started a Video-Series of it.
The Game needs a lot more players!!!
This is unrealistic because (1) the commander of the ship doesn't personally aim the guns, and (2) leading was done by mechanical analog fire-control computers, NOT by humans manually guessing where the target would be (as that would be too inaccurate). An ideal game would take the good features of this, plus the good features of UA:D plus the good features of Rule the Waves.
Very nice just bought mine today and started my first ship - HMS Incomparable - so far still on the lower hull section - used 51 pieces for 90m x 358.5 meters and nearly 19k ton - lower hull section is armoured to 16mm amde of 18 sections 30m x 45 meters then the next section is full width by 4.5m - 33 sections with 5mm armour as this will be internal
There are lots of possibilities with this once one has got ones head around the design process
If you love this game, there are one or two mobile games that I’d like to suggest, which are similar in terms of building. However it isn’t as simple to build nor is it as visually pleasing as Naval Art but you can still make beautiful ships.
It’s called Naval Craft but is a much older game. That’s **not** to say that Naval Art is worse, because it isn’t. It’s simply…simpler, sort of.
There was a game on the Apple App store over a decade ago called Battleshipcraft that I played all the time as a kid then it got taken down for some reason and soon after replaced with what was literally the same game called Warshipcraft which I then also played a ton of. Like I never jailbroke my device and earned everything without paying as I was still just a kid to the point where you can only earn a max of 8,000 in-game currency from succeeding in the hardest mission and I grinded a full month in that game until I finally made a ship that was worth 54,000,000 in-game currency. Called it the USS America because of how many guns I slapped on it as well as missile launchers (this wasn't the only ship I made just the most expensive one). But then about 5 years ago I moved on to android and haven't seen anything like that game sense and so I just waited and hope that something like that game eventually came to pc or android which after these years I stumbled upon this video and got a massive rush of nostalgia and I toughly look forward to playing this game.
Reminds me of Battleship craft and Warship craft. Those were some great games back in the day. I always wanted a PC version.
Glad I’m not the only one who played Battleship craft as a kid. Imma install this game ASAP and do the ship I couldn’t back then. God I miss the game. I still have it on my old iPhone (its successor Warship craft) but it struggles to work sometimes.
Being able to aim and fire secondaries??? Taking any notice Wargaming?? Getting this. I used to love being able to design custom boats in Warship Gunner. Thanks for sharing.
You are also forgetting UA:D probably isn't trying to be a game like this, and focuses more on making it easy for someone to design their own ships without having an engineering degree. UA:D is also in Early Access and they add more and more hulls, weapons, and designs as development progress so you don't give it the credit it deserves...
i really hope this game becomes serious competition to ultimate admiral dreadnoughts, the main thing that UAD has that this doesn't is better graphics. Hope someday that will change.
And suddenly the game got a lot more attention xD I honestly love the freeform style of it but ... i dont think i am patient enough to really spend hours of my day to design ships.
I like it as a sandbox modeller where I can build a ship I like. However I feel ultimate admiral has a more realistic engine behind it with the level of statistics it plays with and factors it takes into the build. Also the damage model and gunnery is way more realistic. This reminds me more of world of warships.
Still though, the fact that this is a solo project from 1 guy is astounding. I think I may get it, if for no other reason then to 3D model my ship design for drachinifels next ship design challenge.
wow, it's like someone took the best of both UA:D and WoWS(whatever good is LEFT of the latter), and, after adding additional features, combined them into this amazing looking game!!
Yes, and it's 1 guy doing it, that's what amazes me.
@@Stealth17Gaming wow. . .one guy doing what a whole team of developers didn't(not couldn't, because they most likely can, they just chose not to, although maybe we can change their minds)
This is basically Battleship Craft/ Warship Craft from the IOS store but for the PC. Looks well polished and the controls fit better for PC than touchscreen
hey can you make one of my ship ideas called: the albert entinsine class us super battlecarrier! its basly 2 us nimitz class carriers put on the sides of a ideo class battleship with a few aegis cruisers to fill in the gaps in the back stern of the hull! it has to have one nimitz on the left and one on the right with the catapult and runways ponting into the front bow of the ship! but it's the aircraft runways have to be like 10 meters below the ideo battleship gun decks on the sides! also the large 10-12 inch guns can be rail guns and most of the smaller sub capital 4-8 inch guns all must be replaced with cities and lasers! however if there's no mods with railguns and lasers then just use the ideos class normal guns 10-12 inch guns! but make sure all of the sub capital 4-8 inch guns on the ideo gun decks are replaced with ciwies! and if there no SM-2 missile launchers yet then replace that with a lot of helicopter decks on the aegis back missile decks instead! until sm-2 launchers are either added in mods or in the base game sooner or later! i also want to see that ship in a new video to see what it could work in a ship battle!
In real life while its still in the testing phase as far as I know but modern warships will sometimes have propeller shafts that double as rudders meaning its the propellers that rotate to turn the ship instead of conventional rudders. Does this game have that? Also what gun sizes are available? as my crazy battleship design i told you a bit about will have 20 inch guns so it'll be an insanely huge ship.
you can get more parts such as engines and nuclear power with mods that are easy to install and created by the community
to work the aircraft you need to place on catapaults onto the ship with aircraft and press T to open up RTS mode where you can use them and you can then select which aircraft you want to use and choose the aircfart target and you can have them return to the ship they launched off of.
when you load the community ships you have to save them like a ship you create to be able to use them in battle.
The game has a 'realism' feature where if your ship is too heavy it can sink and if you have too much horsepower and you ship isnt heavy/big enough you can mke your ships do backflips. it also has a gallary feature where you can display all of your saved ships and you can actually walk on them
Well the main thing is the only limitiation is your imagination
and if you have more questions you can join the discord server for Naval Art and ask them there
The Essex class was built for a discord-run RP for naval art and simpleplanes. If you are interested I can let you know more about it.
This reminds me of the old BattleshipCraft game on mobile except much more in depth, especially with the block customization.
This reminds me of a mobile game that was on IOS, like 10 years ago. For some reason it got removed. The game is called Battleship craft.
It looks like some of the assets are from an old App Store game called Battleship Craft. I recognized and the bridge instantly. A couple have other games have taken the game’s assets, some more than others, but the the game has been gone for a long time.
Nice to see more warship games after the huge World of Warships PR disaster, not even motivated to play it, even as a player who’s account is five years old.
Look like this guys is a WoW player
Even he use the buttons Z to follow shell lol
You got me into dreadnoughts now I'm getting into this. I'm thinking elevator damage affects reload time?
you really game rookie 。your ship going forward。 so you need aim near 。 your 3 consecutive rounds of shooting are too far you still dont know reason。
