Official evaluation

- First Impression (3/5):

The ship has every element to look like a proper pre-dreadnought, but I feel like the builder went a bit overboard with the chubbyness. The build is soo wide and short that it feels more like a toy or an eggship than an actual vessel.
Other than that, the ship looks pretty okay, adequate detailing and the controls are clear and easy to use as well.

- Design/Accuracy (11/15):

As mentioned, the ship's thickness is a bit too much, however, other features such as the tumblehome hull, weapon placement, the look of the superstructure and so on seem to well representing the design of pre-dreadnoughts.
My only other criticims would be the slanted funnel tops as that was not really a thing in this era of warships
I also couldn't find any real life examples of 4 screw pre-dreadnoughts but I found some with 3 screws so I'm willing to accept this as reasonable.

- Details (9/15):

The ship has pretty minimal details overall, tho there are a few nice things such as the individually modeled chain pieces (albeit the chains themselves make no sense as they don't lead to any hawse hole or anchor, they seem to bge just connecting a few capstans)
The builder also included some portholes too, as well as windows on the superstructure and even flags on the masts.

- Features (7/20):

There are usable main, secondary and tertiary guns on the vessel and nothing else.
Propulsion is solved with jet engines and steering with a gyro, not very great.

- Build Quality (4/10):

The build is not very efficient with parts. I was very suprised to see vtol nozzles still being used for port holes, it being a very old and outdated techniqe. The hull's parts dont flow into each other smoothly either.
There is not much else to say about it.

- Performance (13/20):

The vessel is easy to handle, I found no problem with any of controls, they are easy to understand and use. Speed and turning are good as well, they are not too fast or too slow.
Unfortunately, the ship couldn't handle the ocean mod well, it was rather bouncy

- Description and Information (15/15):

The description was pretty great. It features a lot of informaton such as a history section, controls and a ton of screenshots, inlcuding ones that are edited to look like old photographs. The length of it was pretty good as well and some formatting was done too to make it more easily readable.

Additional Points (-0, +3):

+3 for the effort of building the ironclad ship after which this one was named

Total: 65

@Speedhunter hum hum

@Monarchii yea, Turbine is more efficient than pistons at higher speeds

@Speedhunter yea lol, to iirc was it turbine nowadays? idk much but i kinda remember Arleigh has a turbine i think

@Monarchii I mean Diesel engines are good for the small ships, but there's a sorta size limit where you have to transition to more effective means in relation to size (Nooo- Not the coalman XD)

@Speedhunter hmhmhmm (chuck em into the firebox XD)

@Monarchii I mean after oil, some ships transitioned to diesel engines others used nuclear to heat steam iirc (The Coalman has been reborn XD)

@Speedhunter lmao XD, and to that extent I suppose I know, but more so the intricate technical stuff of how this there and that and something along those lines work of sorts, and yea, better more sustainable high speeds etc of sorts, and more energy dense and you don't have to shovel it in XD (probably as combustible as one too XD)

@Monarchii The Coal Workout Routine XD, I mean feeding coal to boilers and then the steam from the boilers drives either pistons or turbines so the big boat go vroom.... Then in WW2 Coal was replaced with oil to burn in the boilers (Yeee, but once you come out you smell like coal XD)

@Speedhunter bench press the coal bags XD, and yeap, there's also some technical stuff regarding feeding the coal too etc but further of that I have yet to learn more (hey, free sauna XD)

@Monarchii I mean carrying weights makes you really buff... And yeah Steamships are really cool, but coal is tedious work.... (It's like going to coal mines but even hotter)

@Speedhunter I mean, definitely not far from reality really, somewhat also the same back-breaking shipwork onboard is the duty of a stoker during the steamships era and boy hours of hours feeding and shoveling coal if that doesn't give you a buff body then idk what will(although of course, *coughs in coal dust residing in respiratory system*)

@Monarchii It's like the Gunnery officer in charge of Fire Control is like skinny while the guys in charge of loadinh the battleship are really buff gigachads XD

@Speedhunter i mean, if you carry and load cannon ammunitions day-by-day the side effect would probably be that you would be buff af knowing how heavy they are XD

@Monarchii true XD, now imagine a really buff dude carrying a 11 inch shell on each hand Lmao

@Speedhunter well, sometimes crude muscle works alright XD

@Monarchii Yo, 11 inch guns hand loaded? That's just heavy... And 15 inch hand loaded is just.... Well, you may need 5 people for it

@Speedhunter I think honestly they are loaded via some automation or atleast machine help but you know what doesn't have that and to of equal size? the Dahlgren Guns, iirc 11in were hand loaded and hell maybe even the 15in though I forgot a bit if it is

@Monarchii True XD It shoild have just been a chain driven elevator of sorts to get the rounds up there

@Speedhunter and impractical on most part, but nevertheless hilarious XD

@Monarchii Lmao, But I mean at least Canet guns kinda look cool... Just.... Uh... Dangerous

@Speedhunter [both for physical and mental damage it caused, more so the latter for the crew after the incident]

@Monarchii [Canet Guns have been declared as a war crime]

@Speedhunter [and the other crew having a new fear] HEH!! XD

@Monarchii [Gunner has been deafened by Screaming Ally] LMAO
