South Acren wrote:"SHIT BRACE!" the screams of the incoming shells grew louder followed by an explosion on the back tower and Turret 1. The Captain turned and looked at his SIC. "what was hit?" The second looked at the screen in front of him. "long Range comms sir, they are destroyed, Gun 1 was hit but still Operational." The captain growled. "Fuck....Right. Patch me through to the Gunners." He was handed a phone which had direct contact with the main gun batteries. "Gun Crews 1, 3, and 5; Target their Bridge. Gun Crew 2 and 4; Hit those cannons. Railgun; on my signal, drill through the back. I want that thing dead in the water." A reply of affirmative came from multiple voices "Right. Hold steady....wait for it.... the colossal ships grew closer, more the Wurmskrut then the Bismarck. However the Germanic forces had one thing: A plan. "HOLD" they grew closer, finally the captain grabbed the wheel and lurched it right. The massive ship moved right, a move not expected by their enemies. Like a bull-fighter and his bull, they passed. They Captain yelled with the ferocity of a lion. "NOW" and the guns of the Ship roared to life
OOC: For disclosure, they are not as close as i made it seem, they have quite the distance between them, horizontal wise. Also the guns are stacked on top of each-other. 1 over 2, 3 over 4, and 5 under the railgun.
A new nation appears over the horizon named Bala Mantre. Found quite recently but allied to technilogically advanced civilizations it is up to date and even better than most.
