They clearly left off the exhaust pipes for the diesel engines.

Assuming one of those 1st rates is the length of the Victory, I did a quick eyeball and stopwatch calc and they are doing about 20kts.

Re: Naval Action
Definitely about 4x to 5x too fast then. I guess the game devs did this because to fight a battle at scale speeds would bore most people to death and they want a result in under a day! Its understandable. I hope the game includes realism sliders so you can reduce ship speeds, turning rates, increase loading times etc for a more realistic experience.

Re: Naval Action
I appreciate people posting about this game. I wouldn't have known about it otherwise.
I am really looking forward to its release.
I think it will have a nice pace for a Sunday morning with coffee.

Re: Naval Action
Looks really nice. If the speeds and turns and loading could be slowed down it would be a winner for me.

Re: Naval Action
I am actually a tester for this one so under an NDA currently.
What I can say is that based on the videos and screenshots released I like what I see so far.

Re: Naval Action
Will there be speed sliders to adjust a battle to a more realistic pace for the die-hard realism fans among us?

These are the current Sea Trial ships for Naval Action.
For any of you old Sea Lords Virtual Fleet members, the website www.sealordsvf.org/ has been reactivated. There is a lot more activity, the RN is getting organized, we need the other navies to do so as well.
Regards,
Gibson

Re: Naval Action
Looking good Gibson!
