Ships Listing

[Aglassman]

Hey evereyone

My name is Tommy, Ive been paying attention to the site for a while now
so i thought Id chime in on something that I think would add a tiny bit flare to the game. Something I think is missing, Ship Listing as in capsizing. Now I dont know if that was an actual problem naval combat in WWII, anyway it seemed to be a probability so I change the critcal hits
chart (in my book anyway) to reflect this.
I changed the Crew location to Hull, in the general since. The Effect in area (5) Hull Breach now has Listing. Listing in direction of the attack. No
Firing of main guns untill listing is repaired, which means sealing the bulkhead to me. Also a Crew Check against a 7, D6+ crew quality,Ship capsizes in as many rounds as the quality of the crew if Crew Check is not achieved.
Ive thought about adding a special action to this also, but Ive not come up with [/b]effector the command check stats

a significant list would indeed seriously impair the efficiency of the main armament, though shell fire would have to be quite severe to accomplish this... perhaps make it an effect of torpedos?

ship gun accuracy could be restored, by counter flooding. you might suggest that a voluntary engine crit with speed reduction be taken (one greater than already on the ship) to restore the ship to rights. The ship could then be a stable platform then, but slower and its torpedo bulge might no longer be in the right place.

Don't forget that the combat system in VAS is fairly coarse. Issues such as list, trim and counterflooding is encompassed in the existing system.

In the overall system. Not explicitly covered, but in the overall scheme of damage points and criticals.
