WCNAW SPECIAL REQUESTS THREAD

[Warship NWS]

v1.05 is live,

v1.06 is underway including the addition of the USN WW1 database.

Thanks.

It occured to me (because I am a bit slow this days...) that the new map removes the limitation to 4 divisions per side since now many more can be displayed. Same happens with the 8 ships per division limit. It would seem that up to 10 may now fit in the screen.

Is it feasible?

As noted in our WCNAW FAQ larger battles are in the works.. 3 of the major planned engine upgrades in the works are USN WW1 (underway), larger battles, and terrain features.

Do you think it is feasible to one day be able to direct individual turrets on the same ship to fire at different targets? Might come in handy if a ship has enemies both fore and aft.

Can dud shells cause kinetic damage to ships instead of being counted as a complete miss?

Will there ever be a chance for a torpedo spread to hit a non-targeted ship in the same division?

And lastly, there are some abbreviations in the AAR that I'm not sure about:

BR = Bridge, CR = Crew, PR = ?, ST = Steering (?), FC = Fire Control, SL = ?

Thanks.

I'll let Chris answer most of these, but regarding the last question, SL is searchlight and I believe PR is power (i.e. the ship's engines).

Split targeting is unlikely as it was only done on extremely rare occassions with poor results. SB/TB starboard/port broadside targeting however will be added soon.

Dud shell hits are not counted as a "miss".. they are counted as hits that cause less damage.

Will there ever be a chance for a torpedo spread to hit a non-targeted ship in the same division?

Yes.. more on this topic soon.

PR = propulsion, ST = steering, SL = searchlights.

During the "Disengage Ships" part of the turn, would it be possible to show ammunition for the ships? Right now, it only shows the ship name, which makes it hard to know if I should disengage a ship due to lack of ammo.

Thanks.

That can be done by hitting the F4 ship display - you can check all ships this way.
