(WORK IN PROGRESS)
The anniversary of the Battle of the Coral Sea comes & goes, and everybody still suffers as hard it seems💔
In this test Lexington sinks quickly under punitive torpedo and dive bomber damage (her damage model isn't ready just yet so don't worry it should take more time, but at the end of the day, considering what she ate earlier, here her capsizing wasn't even much of an exaggeration IMHO).
We want you to experience the thrill of watching that kind of action from the deck - you tell us if it's there, hopefully it translate nicely now that the dynamic action music system is implemented. Big thanks again to our composers Aleksi & Jonathan for their huge creative contribution to the mood.
Of course most of the bugs you get to see there (for instance the bomb fork popping up etc...) have been corrected since it was filmed.
Cheers & take care all!

I see what you did there, and as someone who dives for democracy, I approve!

@DrydockDreamsGames 4 месяца назад

Yeah actully I did not even think of HD2 when making it for Twitter originally - it was kinda at a time when the game was already out and the scandal not there yet. I was thinking of Fuchida's words that were quoted in Shattered Sword: "At that instant a lookout screamed “Hell-divers!” I looked up to see three black enemy planes plummeting towards our ship." An the movie Hell Divers I had been running in the background a few days before, about US DB crews pre-war. And then when writing it I only realized that it could catch on a little more attention, but it was innocent originally, I swear ^^

This might be a small detail, but I really do hope that the clock in the top right corner can be animated to show the "flipping" of the individual number panels as each second/minute/hour passes. I think this would add a nice bit of visual flare and immersion without being too distracting. Great stuff as usual!

@bimmerbomber2002 4 месяца назад

Drydock, I think you guys are going to have a banger on your hands. The attention to detail you guys have paid to how a navy functions and how they fight a battle is very evident, and you've combined that with some very nice models and aesthetic, as well as probably the most important component of any military strategy sim; genuinely effective AI. One of the biggest failings of War on the Sea is its lack of AI, which results in a huge, un-fun workload for players, who have to manage a pile of pretty simple tasks that should be managed by virtual subordinates. General staff focus on complex strategy and force deployments, movements of their fleet as a whole, when and where to conduct a strike, etc. They don't helm each individual ship or conduct damage control. It's nice to have access to these things, I suppose, but in WotS, the more ships you have, the less fun the game becomes. And this issue is compounds dramatically when aircraft are involved, which is frustrating considering how vital aerial assets are in a naval battle. But seeing how the task force seems to operate with a degree of autonomy within the framework of the player's task force in TF:A is very encouraging. Gameplay is fun, tedium is not, and by the looks of things, TF:A is very much standing on the fun side of that line. Can't wait for this to drop lol

@adamtruong1759 4 месяца назад

Lady Lex is fine, she's a tough ship, Yorktown not so much. Those are also really big explosions for 250 kg bombs.

@Stooltoad5017 4 месяца назад

I believe they are still working on the size of explosions\splashes in the game. If you look at recent video of the TBD devastater falling into the drink, the splash of water is also really high.

@majorborngusfluunduch8694 4 месяца назад

Thats ironic given which ship survived longer IRL.

@adamtruong1759 4 месяца назад

@@majorborngusfluunduch8694 Okay, time for some much needed context. At Coral Sea, those two 250 kg bombs that hit didn't do any serious damage to Lady Lex. The two torpedoes ended up being... quite a lot more troublesome and would end up being what doomed the ship. HOWEVER, that was caused because the fuel lines for the aviation fuel weren't purged and caused the entire ship to go up like "it's just good business." So damage control error is why USS Lexington sank and would be corrected shortly after. And then there was Yorktown, which don't get me wrong, it's a lovely ship, very capable, very accomplished, took ONE 250 kg bomb and was knocked out of the fight, and would've needed 3 months in drydock to completely repair. Also, this is not to mention all of the hate that was thrown at USS Saratoga during the war (submarines, bombs, kamikazes). Even at Operation Crossroads she survived the nuclear explosion with only scratches, and only sank after the second explosion underwater merely 400 yards away which lifted the +36,000 to ship, blew everything off the deck along with the funnel. Quite a way to go. As I like to say, the Lexington's might be quite sluggish and old ships, they're also really tough and really speedy ships.

@100dampf 4 месяца назад

Those look more like Vals than SB2C ;)

@StickMenMaster 4 месяца назад

A minor niggle - I believe the wildcats would have been spotted with folded wings, especially since the other planes (Avengers?) are folded, so there's no way Wildcats could be launched in a hurry.. A good historical video on how planes were spotted ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-bfkwjU8k6W4.html, although that was a CVE later in the war.

@DrydockDreamsGames 4 месяца назад

Hello Yorktown's fighter squadron at Coral Sea was made of F4F-3s, these did not have folding wings. Those aircraft which can fold their wings in the game will do so :) The folded aircraft in the back row are TBDs (which still fold the old way upwards, not the Grumman way towards the back) Cheers

@StickMenMaster 4 месяца назад

@@DrydockDreamsGames Cool that you model the right models! Will it be just eye candy, or will you model the details? (i.e. -3 had fewer guns, but -4 had the same amount of ammo = less firing time, lower climb rate etc. - but you could fit between 50-100% more on a carrier..). Mind you, even eye candy would be cool, but it'd make more people grumble 😉

@@ThatChargerPursuitGuy USN dive bombers were ahead of their time when the war broke out, and so were their bombers. Their fighters proved to get the same hand dealt to them with the development of the Hellcat

@ThatChargerPursuitGuy 4 месяца назад

@@shikikankillzone4239 Oh yeah, definitely. It's so werid to think that the Dauntless was considered outdated by the time the U.S. entered the war. Considering they very quickly became one of the most deadly bombers of the war. IIRC, the main reason why the Helldiver was disliked by the crews was because it was very sluggish when it came to maneuvers. A Dauntless would be able preform a barrel roll to evade a enemy aircraft pretty effectively. While a Helldiver would lazily attempt to do so with the haste of a whale and even fail to do so fully loaded. You can see why though as a Helldiver is huge next to a Dauntless.
