Maybe the shore guns could be simulated in game with older guns (-1 or -2 instead of the shipborne 0s, whatever you as the player swapped out of your cruisers/BBs in the last refit) but their fire control should be the best available. I think there should be much better control over coast defense in ...

I got a bombardment mission in my current campaign game but the bombardment target was not marked. I subsequently found a bombardment target near where I started. [edit] can confirm that this was the one I was looking for as I got the "mission accomplished" popup when I blew it up. Still, no target ...

I am defending a shore bombardment mission. My capital ships have Director fire control, but I just noticed that my coast defense battery only has central firing. You would think that shore batteries, being located on rocks, that are things that don't move, would be more accurate than ships.

I had the experience of defending a shore bombardment mission. The enemy ships were shooting at the target, I could see the shots hitting the target, but the enemy ships were out of my line of sight, even though I was between them and the target. You would think that even if you couldn't sight the ...

Yes, I had some issues with Victoria 3 along these lines, too. A new Win11 patch that came out a little while ago made that game run correctly again.

I'd say also if you flee from an enemy force, you should suffer some prestige and morale hits, especially if the enemy force was actually not much stronger than yours. This also should result in breaking the blockade if one was in force, at least if the fleeing force represents a significant part of ...

Now having installed the Matrix version I have a different problem. As detailed on the beta forum, when trying to load an ongoing battle, it runs through the scenario loading bar twice and then gives a series of error messages and crashes. When loading a saved campaign game that doesn't have an ...

And the Matrix version apparently can open the save file from the Steam version without difficulty.

Just got a Matrix version of the game so I can participate in the beta test of the DLC, and happy to find out that this problem doesn't exist in that version. So it is something with Steam.

I am in the middle of a game, everything has been running fine up to this morning. I tried to open my game, got as far as clicking on the turn button, and a battle setup screen flashed up momentarily on the screen, then disappeared behind the main window. I finally used the Task Manager to close the ...

I put 1 BX division on training a couple of turns ago, and one ship came off training the next turn but the other one is still showing up as on training and doesn't participate in battles. What's up? I thought training only lasted one turn?

What are the conditions for this to happen? I just had a ship going 10 knots with no persistent flooding, they had just reduced flooding from earlier damage, and suddenly they had bulkheads collapse and a rapidly fatal amount of flooding. I thought the point of this event was to punish ships that ...

Submerged tubes yes, we were moving pretty fast, but the information on the manual launch window says "out of arc" for all tubes. Doesn't seem possible, the BB is a whole lot bigger.

Still happening. Note CA Stromboli, no hit that was noted as starting a fire but now there's "fire spreading".

It's sort of hit or miss, occasionally I see it but generally not.

Actually, it worked for a bit and then it stopped.

Also, "friendly ship in line of fire" should not restrict you if the friendly ship in question is sinking.

I think the arcs of fire for torpedoes are too limited. Here's an example: CL Pisa was just rammed by a French BB, range is 0, Pisa has torpedo tubes facing in all directions, and yet none of them bear.

Aha! Thanks, getting them in "iceberg" style though not in carbon.

It's great to have this resource in the forums but I think it would be better if all this stuff were documented somewhere and ideally available to players as a popup during the ship design process. Even if the game would say "this ship can't be a CL because it has Light Cruiser armor scheme but guns ...
