Treaty Fudge - "Historical" Build with

Рет қаралды 6,501

Жыл бұрын

In this episode, Drachinifel and I will be tackling a new project: the creation of historically accurate versions of the North Carolina and South Dakota class battleships in the game Ultimate Admiral Dreadnoughts. However, due to limitations in the game, we will need to come up with a creative solution: the "Treaty Fudge" ship, which combines elements from both classes into one vessel. This unique ship will be a hybrid of the North Carolina and South Dakota classes, taking the best features from each to create a formidable new, but still historically plausible vessel. We will be using all of the available tools and resources to build the "Treaty Fudge" ship as accurately as possible within the game, using historical blueprints, photographs, and other references to ensure that our replica is as faithful to the real ships as possible.
We hope you will join us for this exciting project and see the USS Drachinifel brought to life in Ultimate Admiral Dreadnoughts.

10:50 To place AA armament: 1) Brush entire superstructure and main deck with Elmers Glue. 2) Open packet marked “40mm quad mount.” 3) Pour contents of packet over ship. 4) Wait two minutes. 5) Brush ship lightly with feather duster. 6) Allow 24 hours to cure. 7) DAKA!

@@Taz_XE076 Interesting, I figure Baltimore (or if Des Moines is included) would be pretty tough to beat. Especially Des Moines with RF 8 in guns and rather advanced radar. But I do feel Zara would be a pretty nice contender.

You’d really have to separate CAs into “treaty-bound” and “screw the paperwork, the gloves are off.” There is no way an eg County, Portland or Takao can compete with a ship protected by 5” main belt, sailing at 33kts and throwing nine 8” shells every 7 seconds with Gen4 radar.

@@dougjb7848 Agreed, it would definitely have to be treaty bound divisions and post treaty divisions. Maybe even a “treaty compliant” division for the ships that skirted the limits such as Deutschland, Zara, and some of the Japanese cruisers.

6:25 that tower I is meant to be the South Dakota tower, similar to the only other non Japanese or North Carolina secondary one (the secondary is technically Not) Although the secondary lacks gun mounts, (The modern one is supposed to be the North Carolina/South Dakota, or so it says in that update)

I think Drachinifel fudged up the belt calculation there. The combination of the 16deg shell trajectory and the 15deg inclined belt means that the shell will have to go through about 14 inches of armor, true. But even with a vertical belt, the shell coming at the 16 degree angle would need to go through 12.5 inches of armor, not just the 12in thickness of the belt. So the in-game belt thickness should be the real thickness multiplied by the ratio of these effective thicknesses. In math terms, Drachinifel calculated 12/cos31 = 14, while the correct value would be 12*cos16/cos31 = 13.45 . The error is about 4%. For the South Dakota, the belt should have been set at 14.3 inches.

This ship seems to have the best of both ship classes, speed, increased armor, shells, and such, which seems a bit unfair (to Bismarck and Vanguard) But I assume it shouldn’t make too much of a difference (both ships ending up at single digit health %’s at once) Also the non changed gun reload

The question I have is where Drachinifel found reference to US battleships using coincidence range finders? Everything I have ever come across said that Great Britain used them but the US used stereoscopic range finders like the Germans did. I am not trolling, I am just curious. I will see if I can dig up any sources. Really great build though 🙂

@grandconqueror2446 Жыл бұрын

Granted not quite any specific ship, but you could make the argument this would be a ship you could get through Congress, stay within the treaty, and have realistically built (minus any liberties you had to take)

I guess mixing them makes sense. Both NC and SD feel like division 2 or maybe division 1.5 ships rather than division 1 outright. Doing it this way might them a better fighting chance and drops the NC shaped dead weight from the league

So not only does the NC end up in the wrong division, you guys decided to build a combo of the NC and the SD but build it on the least suitable hull for either and drop its draft and beam down to nothing to get the weight right... ignoring that by doing so you will be nerffing its gunnery and resistance into the ground so it wont be able to hit anything or handle much damage. When you decided to combine them you should have switched to the SD hull so you didnt have to do that! I cant wait to see what you decide to do to the Iowa seeing all you have to do to make that an Iowa is fixed the draft/beam problem you gave this ship and make its guns a little longer. Ontop of all this you have given every other nation railguns to fix the problem of the inaccurate pen values but because the US ships use super heavy shells they dont get this, ignoring that those super long guns on the other ships mean they all have crazy accuracy and super flat trajectories.
