Baddleships

 
 

Ok, ok... So it's now pretty obvious we've some new units coming to BS:P very soon. And whilst the exact details on what those units will be are still shrouded in a cloud of extreme mystery, I'd like to shed some light on a couple of them.

Speaking with Botond Szalacsi (Lead Designer @ Eidos Studios Hungary) earlier today, he wanted to clear up a few things, answer some of your questions since my teasing, and once again let you all know that the team are always watching the forums.

So... Montana and Super Yamato. Yep, they're in. And they're badass.


Let's have a closer look:

- They both cost 300 points each.
- The Montana is slower and less maneuverable than the Iowa with a 21 knot top speed.
- The Super Yamato is slower and less maneuverable than the Yamato with a top speed (just pipping the Montana) of 23 knots.
- The Montana’s armour is only slightly weaker than the Yamato’s and the Super Yamato’s.
- The Super Yamato has seriously strong AA defense, thanks to the turrets also used on the Akizuki class destroyers.
- The Montana’s AA defense is roughly equal to that of the Iowa.
- Five direct hits from the Super Yamato’s main gun will sink a destroyer almost every time.
- The Montana has the deadliest long-range broadside in the game: Twelve 16 inch guns and extreme accuracy, even on maximum range.
- A single shell from the Super Yamato’s 20 inch guns does more than double damage than any other standard battleship shell in the game… for real.
- If a Montana is able to fire all main guns on you, you're in serious trouble - try to evade as soon as possible.
- If you are close to the Super Yamato, you really don’t have much time left - the short range prevents any evasive action. Avoid.
- It’s really good fun to re-play the single player missions with both ships. :)
- The Yamato and the Iowa still remain viable options in Island capture and Duel modes.

Argh! There's one right in front of me, what do I do?

- Use submarines.
- Use battleships, and if possible... more than one.
- Use everything you've got in your arsenal.
- Try to knock out their main turrets with gunfire or bombs - this could turn the tide of battle.
- Use submarines!!

You have been warned...

I want them now I have micro soft points to spend now so get them out fast I will buy any thing! Laughing out loud

 
FinalPreator's avatar

Well, I'm definitely happy to see these two titans in the game, but I'm hoping we get to see some more units too (submarines, japanese CL's anyone?)

 
Crimson KG's avatar

You got my attention. 300 cp? Interesting.

"A single shell from the Super Yamato’s 20 inch guns does more than double damage than any other standard battleship shell in the game… for real." You had me sold at double damage, sweet!!!!!

 
Metal_Gorby's avatar

Looks great, now all we need is a C-47 transport that drops 50 torpedo's at once to try and sink them lol.

 
Spinner's avatar

Maybe a new missle system would be nice instead of new ship? Thought I'm loving this new unit update also love volcano, sad not a lot of players a playing this map! It looks stunning and so do the ships, can't wait to spent my money on it!

Still if you wanna add more addition the unit pack at some cool weapons or some tricky gadgets?

Greetings Spinner

 
Yossarian's avatar

Nice I look forward to using them.

 
Spinner's avatar

When is this unit pack coming? And how are they going to balance the game with this?

i remember you mycoldman when i was battleship50.

 
BigJ-62's avatar

Looks good, these ships should be an interesting ( and fun! ) inclusion into the game, i know a lot of people have wanted to see them & so have I. I was jst wondering though, i would've thought that the Montana would have the higher speed or at least they both have the same speed in the game, as the Iowa & Yamato do...

nice, but ISE CV is still at the top of my list.

Admiral's avatar

Pleaseeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee do not put it on GFW live because I cant have a credit card and it need MS points to have one. Sad(

 
j5689's avatar

They can't exactly put it anywhere else.

If your parents won't let you use their credit card, just go to the store and get a prepaid debit card or a Microsoft Points card.

 
Admiral's avatar

what store???

 
August668's avatar

Love these two ships they are awsome

 
David603's avatar

Most game stores will sell MS points. Just go in, and if you can't see them (usualy in orange DVD box) ask at the counter, they will know what your looking for.

 
Star Mader's avatar

vetran missions are now a breeze lol

 
Citizen War's avatar

I would have done 160 xbl pts for these two monsters alone.

SergeantKonig's avatar

i recently played a game of island capture and i have to say that the Super Yammy is godly... Montana kinda gets torn apart by it tho unless you can get off a broadside salvo before the SY sees you...

 
MR o CRACKER's avatar

Bansheeflyer's avatar

It's pretty cool. However, I would have Eidos rather stick to ships actually used in WWII, and have them look decent. I mean, the Super Yamato does look pretty badass, but first of all, look at the turrets. Are you kidding me? They don't look like 20-inch guns. They look like turrets from a Renown-class battlecruiser! Also the whole ship itself looks like the exact same as the regular Yamato (laziness, maybe?), with gun exception.
The Nevada does look pretty sweet, though.

 
facinoricci67's avatar

Smiling Thanks for the information. I haven't played Baddleships but I want try it because I like playing war games.

But for now I having problem with the budget.
