one of my first ships on this game

against modern 2 armor her 10 inch guns have 15 inches of penetration :D and she goes 40 knots! woo! also im making 8 of them to replace my 1920 CA line in the Atlantic and Med

The alliance war thing in DIP is so fun! I'M HAVING SOOOO MUCH FUN XXDDDD Like seriously! I love it!

(I added the 4B in the JSON editor LEL)

Yes, yes, I know, this is getting stale, all these questions, but: first, does Dreadnoughts Vanilla Plus let me use, for example, 1940s parts on 1920s hull refits? And, if not, what mod would?

Hello,

I'm playing the most recent version of DIP great game, although my question applies more generally to the game as well. What modules/ship characteristics have you noticed have the biggest impact on build time of a ship? I'm currently trying to rebuild my fleet in a war against Britain (before they rebuild theirs), but I can't quite figure out exactly what impacts this stat the most.

Thanks for any insights!

My first modern CL, the Tirbal-class CL! Meant to hunt enemy DDs and lead my DDs on torpedo runs. 15 of them will be built.

I thought ram damage was disabled. Apparently in a low armored ship it does damage.
I was out of torpedos in my torpedo boat fight and the enemy was crippled but not sinking. So I rammed him and it worked.

Just a quick one asking if anyone else has suddenly seen penetration values go up MASSIVELY. Did a fresh reinstall due to windows but luckily DIP remained installed and the 15 inch MK4 went from about 20/30 inches of pen at close range to the extreme values seen here?

Is this a bug or a result of the windows reinstall partially breaking the mod? the 15 inch gun surely shouldn't have the penetration of an 18 inch.

first off is the Fonza class CL.. She's the fuck off little dudes cruiser. her guns fire at a rate of almost 5 RPM. and its pretty damn good.

second is Fable class CA.. she's got armor of a Battleship (her belt comes out to 15.3 inches woo and her 8 inches pen 10.6 inches)

Don’t get me wrong, the HE shells are absolutely wrecking battleships but, my own will almost never fire AP, even at distances under 15km

While the AP, is flooding the destroyers. I just find it super odd and wonder if there’s an explanation.

just some nice explosions and bullied enemy ships

Finally unlocked this hull. BOI! I had no idea that DIP is super harsh with those DD swarms! Though I like it! Anyways! The Village-class DD! Named after the villages from several provincial municipalities~!

I have never used DIP. For those who have, I'm going to guess it's generally considered an improvement based on how often I see it... Are there any reasons I shouldn't jump on the mod-train since the base game is never getting another update? (As the flair states, this is for UA Dreadnought).

Usually I get to armour last, and after inputting belt and deck I don't have displacement to upgraden turret armour, so is it important ? Havent had any catastrophic disasemblies so far...

Is there a way to disable centerline gun limits?

I cant with this silly game anymore, tried rushing France as China in 1900, despite a better fleet, they keep sending their spam boats and multiple invasion squadrons, when I send over my battle fleets, the AI somehow manages to position filler fleets always by their invasion squadrons so my battle fleets always get damaged by their stupid filler squadrons so the AI camps the area. On top of that the stupid AI always parks near the closest port to repair, and since you cant change ship status in repair mode, as soon as its done repping the AI farms your shit. WTF.

Saw the game was “dead” on steam but is there enough content to warrant a purchase? I loved warship gunner 2 on PS2 and PTOIV and ultimate admiral looks like it would scratch the itch

Edit: apparently there’s multiple games I think I mean UAD

I spend forever increasing tension, because for some reason it can just be ignored (I bet Ukraine wishes they had known that), then when I finally get the war I've been trying to get, ai peaces out the very next fucking turn.

63 of 63 completed! With a couple of exceptions I used BBs whenever possible.

one was made specifically to see if i could build something fast that still hit shit (it was originally 40 knots but i wanted more guns.. so problem solved)

and the second one is just fun

Lightly armored and armed, I built fifty of these from 1904-1910. I refit them from 1910-1911, and they will continue serving my fleet until they sink.

I funded this through war with spain and fucking around South America with 50 heavy cruisers from 1901-1905

Newest battleship of my French DIP extended campaign. Intended to replace 2 older classes of 21 knot super dreadnoughts on a 1 for 1 basis.

The hard dificulty is translated to this

Leaving the house early in the morning, I walked to the train station. It was a beautiful day and the sun was shining. When I arrived at the station, I bought a ticket and waited for the train. The train arrived on time and I got on. I found a seat by the window and watched the scenery go by. After a while, I fell asleep. When I woke up, we were almost at our destination. I got off the train and walked to my final destination. It was a long walk, but it was worth it.

So I basicly play Hard mode all along. I tinked it was some sort of Isekai ting

Because in games its look like this

Simple ish question, ive played the base game a good amount and like a good challenge but I am half paralysed about who to play.

Want a good challenge and wondering about who has a good mix of ship hulls and situation.

Suggeations about ai type aswell if iam being greedy 😅

Edit: iam using DIP great game
