Ultimate Admiral: Dreadnoughts

Ultimate Admiral: Dreadnoughts is a simulator where the player himself designs ships and commands a fleet. The tools allow you to assemble a dreadnought according to your own understanding: the hull, armor, guns, vehicles and control systems - all this affects the characteristics and cost. The main thing is compromises. Heavy armor makes the ship survivable, but slow; big guns are impressive, but require space and weight. An error in the design is only visible in battle, when it turns out that the ship cannot take hits or cannot catch up with the enemy. Therefore, a lot of time is spent here not on battles, but on calculations and comparison of options. In addition to the designer, there is a campaign: an arms race between powers, budgets, orders and naval battles. Over time, new technologies appear, and what was the top becomes obsolete. It is also worth noting that drawings can be saved and compared, and then ships can be built in series, gradually improving the project. In addition to the designer, there are also battles where you can see how successful the idea was. There are also events such as limited budgets, due to which not everything can be implemented. The game is narrow in theme, but deep: for fans of naval history, there is something here to sit through in the evenings. Settings allow you to change realism and influence the course of the campaign. In addition to design, you can simply command ready-made squadrons if you want to focus on tactics and not on calculations. The game is narrow in topic and requires interest in ships. For those with an affinity for the dreadnought era, the Ultimate Admiral: Dreadnoughts offers a rare opportunity to build your fleet from the ground up.
