Ultimate Admiral: Dreadnoughts

В целом, с горем пополам, игру докрутили до более менее вменяемого состояния. Но любое прохождение компании упирается в бои с лагающими кораблями ИИ. 100% попадание на любой дальности. При этом корабль визуально не стреляет. От него что-то отлетает в воду, но при этом любая им выбранная цель, не зависимо от размера - получает урон как от попадания снаряда. Таких кораблей у противника в одном бою может быть 2 - 3 и более. Такая вот игра. Если хотите играть в этот дурдом - покупайте

Lamentablemente no puedo recomendar este juego. A nivel gameplay el juego tiene muy buena base, simula bastantes cosas y las batallas son divertidas de ver, y a nivel editor, aunque mejorable, tambien da para divertirte bastante. El problema es todo lo que hay alrededor: - El modo "academia" que son misiones separadas donde construyes tus propios barcos para completarlas, es bastante divertido... ¿el problema? la mayoria de misiones estan sin terminar rotas y desbalanceadas haciendolas casi imposible de completar. - El modo campaña, es malo. En el seremos un almirante que, aunque tenemos cierta influencia politica, solo controlamos la parte de la armada maritima, esto es, apenas tenemos control sobre nada mas alla de los barcos y la construccion de los mismos. Pero el principal problema no es ese, el principal problema es la UI, que es horrible y hace dificil hasta la cosa mas facil y simple. - Por ultimo el rendimiento es horrible y las pantallas de carga eternas (pese a usar SSD), esto es especialmente horrible cada vez que queramos cargar y/o cambiar algun barco en el editor, incluso estando ya dentro con el editor ya cargado, cada vez que se carga un barco nuevo el editor se bloquea durante 10-30 segundos... horrible. Por todo esto no puedo recomendarlo, y me apena bastante porque no hay apenas juegos navales de este estilo y para uno que aparece y ademas tenia potencial de ser muy bueno, se ha quedado en eso, una buena base con mucho potencial, pero horrible de jugar.

Oh no, our flagship took 2 shots! We will now switch mid engagement to a different ship to lead the formation and ♥♥♥♥ EVERY THING UP!

It has a good concept, but it's not worth the price. They stopped development and it feels unfinished.

Abandoned game, "feature complete" but totally buggy mess, devs continually added untested features to the ludicrously messy and bloated Grand Campaign until they crossed off their list and then just left the game a mess. Extremely promising but it will likely never be fixed. Save your money.

Abandoned, and pretty resolutely unfinished. That said, it is quite fun to interact with the ship builder. If a bit buggy. But the campaign is lacking: 1.) It isn't finished - There are some neat features, like selling ships, and allying with major and minor powers, but frankly these are surface level at best. There's no real capacity for diplomacy for these smaller states beyond selling and buying ships. And when you invade neutral states, it isn't your prerogative; aye indeed that's a problem in the campaign in general. 2.) A lot just isn't in your hands - This wouldn't be that bad if the AI had more intelligence than a dead rat but unfortunately a dead rat would probably win. The AI decides where armies go, civilian government is fully outside your control. And there is a counter to all of these points, namely the fact you're an admiral, which I do get but I do disagree. For starters, several states (e.g. Japan, the US, and Britain) require the navy (well realistically anyhow) to transport armies - an admiral there certainly has power (or at least influence on) these movements. On the second point, I simply submit Admiral Kolchak. And beyond those precedents: I don't care, it plays worse. 2a.) Economy is so strangely implemented, the GDP rises hilariously fast I'm honestly not really sure why, but you do have a pretty good control on it. But the growth of the AI is boosted and it is quite hilariously so. Also the stat effects from government type are also strange. The politics of states in this are just strange in general. 2b.) The task force system - It's an opaque system of how the game decides which ships go to combat. A lot of it is rather random, and while you can influence who goes into combat, you don't *decide* it. You basically just place a vague task force in a place and hope they spawn a battle the way you like. There are other ways to manipulate it, like the distance a ship can travel isn't actually that; it's how likely that ship is to spawn in combat. Notably *this isn't communicated to the player.* This is player knowledge someone explains (credit to BrotherMunro for my part) or you happen upon. You can't decide you're starting formation or anything like that, when to or not to attack. Even the part you're meant to control isn't yours to do so with. It's not a sound system. The naval academy has numerous spelling errors, and was made for previous versions of the game and never updated. The multiplayer is a dead cash-grab. Again, the best part is the 3D visualized vessels you can build, there are a lot of hulls to work from, and it can look nice, but that (though the biggest draw of the game) is not the only feature, and again it does have problems: 1.) Early hulls are very rudimentary - The earlier you go with hulls the less customizable they are. The early 1890s vessels basically all look the same with little difference visually. I understand similarity, but more variety (or something completely alternate) would be nice. 2.) Some ships cannot be built/customized - Aircraft carriers are simply absent from the game. Full stop. As are aircraft. I do understand the point that it is a dreadnought focused game, but they were essential to the later years which the game takes place, namely the 40s start date which can extend into the 50s. Submarines do exist, but only in text. They damage ships, and there are different types of them, but they are fully limited to text. 3.) Combat is meh - It can be good, but is also very limited. Formations don't really exist, more just telling ships to get in a line for you direct how they move as a line. Again can be cool, the armor penetration simulation and the simulation of shell weight or propellant is nice, but it goes back to being unfinished. Torpedoes function strangely, or at least their firing does. Your best bet is to essentially tell them to not fire unless you know a good solution, but even then it is their prerogative to actually shoot them. You cannot manually force-fire any weapon, so you basically have to strongarm the crew into doing basic actions at least in terms of torpedoes. Its abandoned and unfinished. While the 3D ship builder is cool, and there is no other game like it really, and that should be your main decider of whether or not you pick up the game, it is impossible for me to suggest a game that claims to be much more than that but fails to deliver in those aspects, as well as not completely delivering in its main selling point. If you must have a game with the 3D customization of ships, and the capability to make them fight, pick it up on sale. The game is not worth $35 USD. And for the goodness of the human race, do not buy the multiplayer DLC. Even if it were a reasonable $15 spend at some point, it's dead. Nobody plays it.

Я конечно все понимаю это симулятор кораблей и так далее.... купил по скидке. У меня есть примерные знания сражений на кораблях... но это просто мрак. Я не могу пройти обучалку чтобы начать играть. 2 миссию я прошел на рандоме случайном. 4ую (линкор против эсминца) пройти просто не возможно. Какой бы я корабль не собирал 1.5-5% на попадания, а эта тварь 100% попадает в меня и буквально сразу топит. Без учета торпед. Если основная игра такая же, то мне очень жаль денег. п.с. я то думал, что тут можно собирать корабли с полного 0, разрабатывая кастомные модели. а оказалось все жестко упирается в созданные в реале корпуса.
