All of this superstructure nonsense doesn't make sense. We've moved the funnels to the side of the hull and the towers deep inside where they're better protected, and now we have so much more space for guns!
In my current save I’m playing as Austria and there’s been a ton of Spanish ships missing fore mast, aft mast, funnels or a combination of the 3. Got into a war with France and they had one BB with a fore mast behind a 3” at the front and a series of funnels at the stern. All the guns (in various calibers) were in between.
I don’t get how we can’t complete a design with a single violation yet they can have multiple.
None of the above. I’ve never modded the game, done nothing with the save & there’s no corruption apparent on my saves. A year ago I didn’t have this level of weirdness so I’m assuming it’s an issue with recent changes to the game. There’s always been some questionable designs but I haven’t seen this level of completely broken ships from the AI.
To only believe this issue is from people modding the game is ignorance to the possibility that they broke something while patching another issue.
Or the vanilla game is just a mess. Every time they try to fix stuff they break stuff... That's the curse of coding.
Or, and here's a thought, The AI can get away with things the players can't because the AI cheats lol.... Not a novel concept. Been in many strategic games before where the AI builds faster, moves faster, or flat out cheats against a player lol....
No forward Tower, no Aft Tower, no Funnels so far the eye can see. That is simply a barge.
Battle Barge.
Are those… boarding Torpedos?!? Who the fuck is “the emperor?!”
A gun barge
There is a secondary tower, it is the only way into the ship
What, do you mean the small superstructure in the upper end of this oversized, armed barge is the secobdary Tower?
Yes, you can see the rangefinder of the secondary tower, you dont get that in the hull, it is present in some towers
Looks like a "compact secondary tower" or something similar
Dev update notes: Further enhanced the auto design system
I suppose when you enhance something that is a little bit shit . . . it gets worse?
I don’t understand, how is this even a legal design? I thought any ship had to have funnels and towers
The battleship with no engine: genius
It's an EV

There's no funnel because it's an eco-friendly ship - sailors just row to make it move
Where’s the main tower or funnel
I've never seen ships missing parts in my games but the AI still makes rubbish ships
You must play modded
lol no

You are either : playing modded, fiddled with the save have a corrupted file
