PRE PATCH 1.14 Highfleet Shipbuilding - Upgrading the Sevastopol 

…Oh, the absolute TROUBLE you’re planning for the Sevestapol to get into…I like.

Reminded me of the time my dad bought that old Moskvich car and the first thing he did, was to disassemble and reassemble the engine completely, replaced fittings, bolts, rings, gasket, refilled the oil and replaced the wires. The Sevastopol sure needs a overhaul when you first get it.

Love the mouse spasm at 19:04. Kinds sums up my experience with the shipworks in this game. I really love the idea of designing my own flying warships but the tool are too obtuse for my smooth brain. That being said, the obtuse nature of the mechanics on the strategic map are definitely more my speed.

I will actually swap out all the big guns for AK-100s. They are just straight out better, oh, and much cheaper. I've tested the efficiency between the same amount of AK-100s and 180mms a fixed number of ammo boxes can provide, and I cannot notice any difference at all after 10+ trials. AK-100s, in large quantity, are also capable of AA, and the sheer width of the barrage made them impossible to intercept, and they'll almost always hit the target, creating a constant stream of damage. In addition, they are cheaper. They are CHEAPER CHEAPER CHEAPER

I love the level of small details this game demands to be played RIGHT. Thank you for the vids, will try to do something to this effect.

Interesting, I usually lean heavily into the sevastopol being a suport ship. Usually start the game with a carrier and then scrap it and put the air wing on the sevastopol

5:49 - Although that is the image of an ECM module, I confirmed that it is not actually one. It's a piece that uses the image of the ECM but actually is not connected to any code. It does nothing. It doesn't add ECM to the ship. If you add an ECM module from the menu, you can see that it does add ECM to the ship and it has a picture, stats, etc. I can only assume that the Devs designed the Sevastopol early on and then missed that when they altered some code for the ECM. Maybe they did intend for the vanilla Sevastopol to have ECM, but it does not.

I really enjoy your videos. Thank you very much for this entertaining series. Just got into highfleet and I am nowhere near a sevastapol remodelling

I dont even have, played and idk if my pc will run Highfleet but damn i love watching highfleet videos about ship building, becasue it dont seem to spoil the story too much and stuff. I only seen footage from trailer and how combat work but i really wish im gonna put my hands on high fleet soon

Sooooo. Is it just me or does making the Sevastopol's main gum fire in all directions no longer work? I can get the gun to an elevated point, but the fuel tanks till block its line of fire.

You can select the area and press "DEL" to delete. No need to click one by one RMB.

I think the biggest issue with the Sevastopol is that it wastes so, so much weight and space on having those big engines and fuel tanks to support them. I mean, look at those big, chonky legs. Look at that slow speed. This thing shouldn't fly, it should _run._ A massive walking desert landship, more compact due to the removal of those fiddly, silly """engines""" with need for far less fuel. This may seem counterintuitive, but remember that your radar signature is massively reduced while on the ground. This thing becomes ultra stealthy when you turn it into a landship. You also no longer need to cover the downward direction with armor and guns, because nothing will be below you. I really think this revolutionary design vision is the way to go, really _the_ way of the future.

i tryd in campaign and also in the ship building to fix svestas main gun, didnt work, fallowed second by second in the video, is it a patch thing maybe? thanks for the videos, been watching all of them, got high fleet, lovet it, last time stayd playing 24h a video game when i was like 15.. thats how good this game is. thank you!

hmm usually i turn the sevastopol into a carrier, im honestly surprised that it isnt like that in the first place

I feel like they nerfed that gun elevation trick. Now you need a lot more hull block to elevate the gun to clear the large fuel tank

Dr Frankenstein would be proud! 😃

Hey so this doesn't seem to work anymore. Either campaign when you replace the modules, it pops it up to that third level, but the gun angle is still blocked by the fuel tank. Not to mention, installing it is 24k which is hefty. Makes more sense then to just add a few molot 80s or 180mm and then replace the 57s with 37s or flares/polots

- I like what you did to elevate the three front turrets. - I think keeping a FCR and the Sprints is worthwhile. One FCR really isn't expensive. - You could have moved two 57mm turrets as I showed in my guide to give them much better arcs. - I like your idea of elevating some of the RD-51's. - I've found in combat testing that having two RD engines (either 51 or 59) touch leads to them both dying simultaneously when hit. This was a major vulnerability that I mentioned to you in the comments a while ago. - I found that adding RD-51 engines along the bottom and then just moving the armor down, doesn't add any weight. I put a gap in between them so they don't all die together. It was also fairly quick to do during a campaign. - In the two places where you removed one 4x4 fuel tank, I would have removed the one adacent to it as well for aesthetics. - Where you removed the Zenit missiles, you could have removed the frame pieces they were on so the armor could just go straight across - The escape pods could easily be better protected. - I really didn't find elevating the 57mm turrets a big deal in combat testing. Just moving some of them to where they have better arcs worked a lot better for me than making the ship bigger to elevate them. - With all your changes to the top, you could easily add a flight deck instead of adding that top armor. The flight deck in this game functions as armor as well.

can you make a refit that works in 1.14? I'm having some trouble in my first campaign attempts and could really use a hood sevastopol build. In particular when it comes to the thrust bc the static thrust engines now can't be mounted the way you showed...

I can't for the life of me figure out how to elevate blocks so the engines function. I understand the concept of surrounding larger hull pieces and I can see the change in z-layer, but placed engines still show a blockage.

For some reason the sponson trick is not working for me, the tanks still block the cannon. Did they remove this feature?

Is there an updated guide to doing this? It no longer works? I followed your guide step by step and the hull does indeed pop out and look exactly as yours does but I still dont have the improved firing arc. I suspect the games developer doesnt want us to do this anymore.

Yea, they changed it, now you need one more layer of elevation for the guns to have 360 coverage...

does the elevation for the gun still work? i try to do what you did here but the turrent still blocked, infact i try elevation in general as well but it still doesn't seem to work :(

This doesn't seem to work anymore, even with the hull bumped out on the 185mm gun it still sees the fuel tanks.

Doesnt work for newest patch... Updated vid when?

is replacing all of the 180mm guns with D-80 molots a good idea?

Highfleet has interesting jank to it

I went the opposite route. Removed all the guns save for the CIWS complement, kept the bridge and upper armor (for the most part) and replaced the tactical anti-ship missiles with strategic missiles. Added a bunch of large static engines, doubling the speed and increasing the range to about 700km. Also added a cheeky pylon with a radar jammer.

Sadly, this was nerfed to the ground, especially all the cool elevation tricks

The rear gun still won’t fire to the front for me?

Make an airfield on top right side of ship.

for some reason i cant elevate engines, and im in 1.15, but can do it to everything else. dose anyone else have this problem?

Why not link all 4 tanks together into 1 mega tank?

Is this still possible as of the current patch? I cant seem to get it to behave welp guess Im just taking your flag ship blueprint then ^^

Can I get this blueprint?

Can you share the file

you can edit this ship but cannot use it into campaign!!!!

Hm I find the fuel consumption quite concerning. Thicc girl.

Going through your old videos now, I had to find this video from the ending of your hardmode run, and MAN typing "Phosphor Sevastapol" lead me to some harsh real world news stuff. Remind me to not do that again.

How about that i'm number 69.

They need to get rid of part elevations entirely.
