[QUOTE="TheAuldGrump, post: 5571585, member: 6957"] But I [i]loik[/i] turrets. (What can I say, been a fan of turrets since first seeing a picture of the Monitor doing battle with the Virginia at the battle of Hampton Roads. In the end over a hundred ships were built on the Monitor's lines. :) Only one still remains. And the Virginia [i]did[/i] have a broadsides.) The Monitor eventually led to the Dreadnaught, which is, I think, the niche that the Coaltongue is designed to fill? Does look better lower in the water, but she still looks more like a freighter or a tanker than a warship to me. A high profile combined with low guns is not good. (Standard for sailing vessels, but for steam... not so much.) Perhaps a pair of larger guns, intended for land bombardment, might make it look a trifle less... civilian? My reaction to the original was to think that she was on a barge for towing to sea for her launch - that the grey portion was a separate vessel. What's her tonnage? I am glad to see that she has no side wheels. (I took one look at the side wheelers in Dystopian Wars, and forgot all about buying the game. Exposed, fragile, and slow... yessir, just what [i]I[/i] want on a warship... on the other side, that is.) [IMG]http://www.fastforwardblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/07/hms_dreadnought_1906_h61017.jpg[/IMG] For comparison - the HMS Dreadnaught - first of her kind. The Auld Grump, looking at the length of this post... it is obvious that I have turrets syndrome.... [/QUOTE]
