They certainly look cool, but in this game naval units should be considered as fleets, including various types of ships (as in WW1 Gold), and not individual squadrons (like in SC ww1, if I remember correctly). There were not that many fleets around.

Is that official Keke i.e. do you know what the developers are planning re the patch, or just a comment on how things are a present?

In the upcoming patch, we're increasing the numbers of naval units. This patch will go into beta very shortly, and all your feedback on how the game plays will be very much appreciated.

Edit:
By 'increasing the numbers' I mean the starting forces, not the unit types

Everyone has their own opinions,and I accept that,the ship art I'm doing is mainly for selfish personal reason,if this game or any game for that matter, had zero naval forces then I would not be playing it period,it would not interest me in the slightest.

But since World War 1 had thousands of ships in action all over the world,be that convoying divisions,armys whatever from Australia,New Zealand,Canada,America to name but a few.There would have been no world war without the navys of the world.

The game might be abstracted to fleet sized units,with how many ships per fleet is anyones guess.In my mod,and it will be available to anyone wanting,a much better naval feel to the game,my Fleets / Squadrons call them what you like,are calculated to contain 10 CAPITAL SHIPS + ESCORT DESTROYERS!

The new Destroyer Flotilla,in my mod equals 15 destroyers per flotilla,I will end by saying that the naval game,is far more interesting,with alot more units around.

I don't doubt that all. All I'm saying is that one should keep the strategical level of warfare in mind. The game doesn't work on operational nor tactical level.

I don't think that is necessarily right - World In Flames for example is a strategic level game - army and corps sized units - that has every individual ship from light cruiser upwards that fought in WWII. That is quite extreme (although I must say quite brilliant too

) but probably not required here

.

I am just pleased that the concerns re the naval game made by most players are being addressed and that the naval game should be more interesting as a result. I am looking forward to play testing the new units that's for sure!

Ok whether anyone wants to download these new ship art files,when I make them available,is down to personal choice,all I will say is the game is much much better with than without.

That said here is the final piece of the German navy jig saw,the U Boat.Next stop the Italian Fleet.

Sounds like a strange but interesting concept. I doubt that every ship needs a hex of its own.

There are no hexes at sea in World In Flames! But yes, it is an interesting concept, and one that works well for that game - the bestest game ever made no less.

I'm trying a new art idea for the naval game at least, here is the new plan view off a Pre-Dreadnought.

I'm only experimenting here, but any feedback would be much appreciated thanks.

Ok back to 3D art, I have just finished art for German Dreadnoughts based on the Konig class

Also note that the cruiser units are now called Light Cruiser, because in my mod I also have Armoured cruisers.

Due to a forum server crash, I'm reposting the new art I have done for the Austrian navy. This new art will be the standard design I will be creating for all Nations with ships. It is a side on view with the full hull shown in colour, feedback on these would be very much appreciated thank you!
