It has some weak AA, but I mean it doesnt have anti missile defense, shields, or anti munition defenses
Akkaris 7 Jan, 2018 @ 11:04am 
like anti aircraft turrets or something like that?
Akkaris 7 Jan, 2018 @ 11:04am 
counter measures?
AmazePenguin  [author] 7 Jan, 2018 @ 9:07am 
Low reload rate (dps), not repair bots, speed, lack of countermeasures, armour not optimized for heavy assault
Akkaris 6 Jan, 2018 @ 5:08pm 
what makes these ships unsuitable for campaign? (so that i can add/fix those to make them campaign-able) ((basically just listing all the things that make them un-campaign-able))
AmazePenguin  [author] 5 Jan, 2018 @ 3:14pm 
@King_Jingaling I dont think so in this version. I have been doing extensive refits to my replicas to make the hulls more natural and increase detail. When it is next updated it should have a marginally better main battery but the intent is still not for campaign use.
Akkaris 4 Jan, 2018 @ 6:59pm 
did you add more damage or something else to counter the slow fire rate?
BRH0208 10 Dec, 2017 @ 7:07pm 
Great

The Kongo has been updated!

Time to make an Arpeggio version of this :steamhappy:

You can either click subscribe on this page to download just the Kongo, or go to the IJN fleet collection and click subscribe to all to download all my IJN ships.

How can i download these ships?
AmazePenguin  [author] 13 Mar, 2016 @ 2:40pm 
Every area in the hull has air pumps. The whole superstructure is made of alloy so that the ship is bottom heavy and has better balance. I sometimes have to use lead to either balance she ship or bring the waterline up on the hull.
Omnicidal Chee 9 Mar, 2016 @ 2:39pm 
Question. How do you keep the ship so high above the waterline? I have issues with bouyancy on my own vessels. Are there large areas dedicated to just bouyancy? Light alloy use? Deeper hull to give more space?

Burning Looooove:steamhappy:

wait what since when do the guns on the kongo look so small in real life they looked bigger....

(and i mean actual size the guns are the right caliber but they look so small)
Mystiko Neossia 14 Feb, 2016 @ 1:16pm 
My ship is almost complete but I had to redesign ALOT since the new cram update. My ship can be voted for the Onyx Watch. Check my jets if you need to take out those pesky flying squirrels. :steamhappy:

thx

pressing x spawns in the default game ships as enemys. To spawn vehicles from the workshop you first have to download them by clicking Vehicle Workshop on the main menu, and go through the tabs to find the ones you have subscribed to and download them from there.
Pugpugpugs 23 Jan, 2016 @ 4:20pm 
can anyone tell me how to use player made blueprints, im not seeing them in the blueprints list when i press x
AmazePenguin  [author] 23 Jan, 2016 @ 3:41pm 
Not likely. I have a long list of 1:1 ships that have been requested now and I'm keeping all the ships I post realistic
Kingo 23 Jan, 2016 @ 3:38pm 
Seeing as your profile picture is an Arpeggio of blue steel ship, can you make a haruna version of this if possible?
AmazePenguin  [author] 23 Jan, 2016 @ 3:38pm 
I'm sorry I beat you to it xD
iris 23 Jan, 2016 @ 12:40pm 
YES YES YES
RandomPro / Sovereign 23 Jan, 2016 @ 12:32pm 
NICE
general kitten 23 Jan, 2016 @ 7:33am

Alphera 22 Jan, 2016 @ 10:03pm 
When its finished ill send some screenshots
Alphera 22 Jan, 2016 @ 10:02pm 
This inspired me to make a ship sortof like the Kongo, but in the year 3085 XD
AmazePenguin  [author] 22 Jan, 2016 @ 8:46pm 
Thanks!
estavales 22 Jan, 2016 @ 8:29pm 
I shall enjoy tinkering with your design. It looks great.
AmazePenguin  [author] 22 Jan, 2016 @ 10:48am 
The engines aren't meant to be powerful or effiecent. They are just there to represent the historical number of engines on the ship.
Tjalmann 22 Jan, 2016 @ 10:38am 
Urhm.. 10 engines and only 6k power? You can easy get 3.2k power from 1 engine at fuel efficiency of 300+
AmazePenguin  [author] 22 Jan, 2016 @ 7:33am 
My ships have only the actual number of props as the real ships had. Even though, some of my ships only go a few m/s slower than the real one.

Looking forward to seeing your build
Mystiko Neossia 22 Jan, 2016 @ 1:18am 
Great Build :) I have a battelship of my own that will be released in the future :P
Mine can go 24m/s but for realism battleships were slower back then. :steamfacepalm:
Alphera 21 Jan, 2016 @ 6:16pm 
Please bby
Alphera 21 Jan, 2016 @ 6:16pm

wow thx for the video feed that makes things seem so much simpler
Benthedaddy 20 Jan, 2016 @ 1:10pm 
Looks amazing and i salute you :)
Unfortunately in battle its about as useful as a sea urchin ;)
AmazePenguin  [author] 20 Jan, 2016 @ 12:57pm 
@Thomas
I have submitted to the Dangerous waters campaign but for a few reasons my thread was moved..

They have a lot of restrictions and rules for ships being submitted to their campaign and I didn't feel like changing my builds to meet them.

WOW A THINGY
Alrik 20 Jan, 2016 @ 9:13am 
well i whish i could build such a ship but i am absolutly unable too because of no talent. Good work
DeTess 20 Jan, 2016 @ 5:15am 
Have you submitted it to the WW2 campaign (http://www.fromthedepthsgame.com/forum/forumdisplay.php?fid=137)? They are looking for a lot of WW2 ship replicas.
Gumby 19 Jan, 2016 @ 6:24pm 
You made one of my favorite WWII battleships. Thank you!:steamhappy:
AmazePenguin  [author] 19 Jan, 2016 @ 6:03pm 
You can attach ammo inputs directly to the firing piece :)
rayymondas 19 Jan, 2016 @ 5:27pm 
love the look of the ship, I have been considering doing a good battleship but my design skills are only so-so. May use a 'condensed' version of this in the campaign. ^_^
Destructomonkey 19 Jan, 2016 @ 4:57pm 
how do you have guns with no autoloaders attached to them
