Of Ships and Girls and Shipgirls - a KanColle-RP (OOC)

[Legatia]

That seems reasonable. Mine's an upgrade rather than a remodel.

The addition of the Vulcan would make Coriolanus a rather potent ship and cover her shortages in anti-air warfare while enabling her to remove a lot of her lighter armament for small ship-to-ship like torpedo boats and the like. The production would be rather complicated, though, so I'll wait until more materials come in.

Both sound good to me - maybe we'll be able to find new applications for Coriolanus' old armament as well. We don't throw anything away that easily! ; )

Her remodel would probably see the removal of a good majority of her lower caliber 20mm and some 40mm guns, and probably the removal of her 127mm heavy flak cannons.

Speaking of which, her AA numbers were inflated (especially for the 40 mms), so I nerfed them accordingly so she isn't too overly powerful. I hope you don't mind me doing that.

Nah, I don't mind. Will update it in a moment.
As for what to do with the guns, one golden rule: There is no such thing as 'too much AA' on a stationary target.

RSS Brightbell, 1945 Remodel

Year of remodel: 1945
Image or description of the remodeled shipgirl/boy:
Character:

Rig Weapon:

Character: Contrary to her previous model, Brightbell has lost her generally irritable and critical personality flaws, making her seem far more amiable and sociable, though this leaves her a bit too 'touchy', so to speak. She gains a large boost of confidence, though retains that soldierly attitude around authority. She will almost never turn down an opportunity to speak to someone, though Brightbell may seem quite tomboyish.

Special abilities:

Annihilator: Brightbell possesses quite frankly a terrifying volume of fire, which only becomes incredibly ridiculous by her 1950 remodel. Upon spotting a single enemy or a close group of smaller enemies (like aircraft), she can shower them with an unbelievable amount of firepower at once, enough to make almost any foe reconsider their course of action... To which this effect only amplifies as the remodels come.
[UPGRADE LVL 2]

I wanna set the world on fire: If Brightbell focuses on a single enemy enough, she will be able to set said enemy ablaze-- making it so that if she focuses her (quite frankly) terrifying rate of fire on a single foe-- even a battleship, she will be able to set it on fire and cause widespread panic to the enemy in question, as well as the crew. This makes it so that she can heavily damage or even sink large ships-- granted her fire is not diverted elsewhere somehow. (like AA purposes)
[UPGRADE LVL 2]

Technical Description of the remodel:
After the war had gone on for some time, it became clear to the Regrians that recent advances in aerial technologies meant that anti air had to keep up to date as well-- as planes became faster and deadlier. Seeing as how the Brightbell-class Cruisers had been so effective in countering aircraft thus far (and still were), they decided to give it a remodel, overhauling the guns, which were redesigned with only the most advanced technologies available at the time-- also equipping an even more advanced fire control system, along with an enhanced, brand-new anti-air RADAR on top of it all. The rate of fire had almost doubled from 840rpm to 1440rpm, and accuracy increased overall, further intensifying the potency of this already terrifying rate of fire, also undergoing a few changes in terms of secondary AA arrangement.

Holy hell, the Abyssal-carriers will not have much fun, it looks to me... from my side, cleared.

[New Antonalia]

Should we make a discord server for this rp?

Also, if I do a 1945 refit, can I change the load out Fyodor is equipped with?

If you guys want to make one, be my guest, but you'll likely not me there (I'm not that much of a fan of Discord, you see?). If you do, though, please give me the link and I'll include it into the OP.

I'll include the link into the OP, yes. But, just to make it clear, you'll most likely never see me there (I do not like Discord). So, if you see someone there pretending to be me, tell him to bugger off, please.

EDIT: As for Fyodor's refit, yes, new aircraft are certainly included in the possibilities - but please keep in mind, that the techlimit for refits and upgrades is 1955.

I've tried alot of things trust me. Have a program sifting through corrupted directories to save what it can. Literally caused this by searching for some pesky virus that was eating up my RAM. A boot from a previous time failed BAD.

Who stole who's thunder or not is relatively unimportant, gentlemen, as we now have one. Please focus on the important part.

It's no problem. Get well soon, Higher Japan, and don't worry about us.
I'll make a summary for you once you return.

Sorry for the double post, but how does one generate fog like that?

[Lunas Legion]

Sorry for the double post, but how does one generate fog like that?

I'm guessing it's just generating smoke, since all you do for that is dump coal into the engines (I think) which results in the engines generating large enough amounts of smoke to use as a smoke screen.

That could be the case, that'd take a lot of coal though. Unless he has smokescreen tanks or something like that.

Eh, there's other ways, that was just the first one I thought of. Titanium tetrachloride was used to make smoke screens during WW2, so it's probably that.

[Bentus]

Tag. I've been really short on time recently and some other RPs deserve my attention before I allow myself to get distracted - but expect a fast battleship app to come up

[North Arkana]

The base really doesn't need more battleships...
